  • Coprecipitation using hydrous ferric oxide (HFO) has been effectively used for the removal of radionuclides from radioactive wastewater. This work studied the dynamic behavior of HFO floc formation during the neutralization of acidic ferric iron in the presence of several radionuclides by using a photometric dispersion analyzer (PDA). Then the coagulation-flocculation system using HFO-anionic poly acrylamide (PAM) composite floc system was evaluated and compared in seawater and distilled water to find the effective condition to remove the target nuclides (Co-60, Mn-54, Sb-125, and Ru-106) present in wastewater generated in the severe accident of nuclear power plant like Fukushima Daiichi case. A ferric iron dosage of 10 ppm for the formation of HFO was suitable in terms of fast formation of HFO flocs without induction time, and maximum total removal yield of radioactivity from the wastewater. The settling time of HFO flocs was reduced by changing them to HFO-PAM composite floc. The optimal dosage of anionic PAM for HFO-anionic PAM floc system was approximately 1-10 ppm. The total removal yield of Mn-54, Co-60, Sb-125, Ru-106 radionuclides by the HFO-anionic PAM coagulation-flocculation system was higher in distilled water than in seawater and was more than 99%.

  • Oxidative DNA damage negatively affects humans and the research is currently ongoing to find ways to reduce oxidative stress. Oxidative stress has been identified as a key factor in triggering various diseases. Thus, its alleviation is important for human health. Broussonetia kazinoki (B. kazinoki) has been used in traditional Korean medicine as a dermatological therapy to treat burns, pruritus, and acne. B. kazinoki is generally segregated into peeled root (PR), root bark (RB), peeled stem (PS), and stem bark (SB). To assess these components for their antioxidant activity and protection against DNA damage, their ethyl acetate fractions were examined by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-Azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS) radical scavenging assay. As a result of confirming the expression of factors involved in attenuating DNA damage, the protective effect of SB on oxidative stress suppressed the expression of p-p53 and γ-H2AX. Additionally, the levels of p53 and H2AX mRNA were significantly downregulated. In conclusion, these results indicated that the SB component of B. kazinoki had the potential to be used as an effective natural antioxidant compared to the other parts of the plant.

  • The Baegjeon Au-Ag and Sb deposits, small of disseminated-type gold deposits are formed as a result of epithermal processes associated a shallow-seated Cretaceous Yeogdun granitoids intrusion. The orebodies are formed by the replacement of carbonate minerals in thin-bedded oolitic limestone beds favorable for mineralization within the upper-most Cambrian Pungchon Limestone Formation. The mineralization can be recognized one stage, ore minerals composed of base metal sulfides, electrum, AgSb-S, Ag-Cu-S, and Sb-S minerals. Gold-bearing minerals consist of electrum and submicroscopic invisible gold in pyrite and arsenopyrite. The composition of electrums ranges from 33.58 to 63.48 atomic % Ag. Fluid inclusion studies reveal that ore fluids were low saline $NaCl-CO_2-H_2O$ system. Temporary fluid mixing and boiling occured in later stage. Fluid inclusion data indicates the homogenization temperatures and salinities of NaCl eqivalent wt% were 176 to $246^{\circ}C$ and from 0.0 to 4.8 wt%, respectively. And $-logfs_2$, of mineralization obtained by thermodynamic considerations as 12.4 to 13.8 atm. The ${\delta}^{34}S_{H_2S}$, values of hydrothermal sulfides were calculated to be 6.8 to 10.2‰ which was of sedimentary origin. The ${\delta}^{18}O_{H_2O}$ and ${\delta}^{13}C_{CO_2}$, range from -3.9 to 9.6‰, from -1.1 to -2.2‰, and ${\delta}D$ range from -89 to -118‰, respectively. The Au deposition during mineralization seems to have occurred as a result of decrease of temperature, $fs_2$, $fo_2$, and pH probably due to oxidation by meteoric water mixing, which destabilized original $Au(HS)^-{_2}$. The mineralization of the Baegjeon deposits is similar to the Carlin-type deposits characterized by sediments-hosted epithermal bedding replacement disseminated gold deposits.

  • 대현 금-은광상은 Cambro-Ordovician 석회암질 대리암내에 발달된 NE 방향성의 단열대를 따라 형성된 2개의 열수성 석영맥으로 구성된다. 모암변질시 원소 분산과 이득/손실을 알아보기 위해 모암, 열수변질대 및 금-은 광맥에서 시료를 채취하였다. 모암변질시 뚜렷한 변질대가 관찰되지 않으며 구성광물은 주로 방해석, 돌로마이트, 석영과 소량 녹염석 등이다. 이 광상의 광석광물은 유비철석, 자류철석, 황철석, 섬아연석, 황석석, 황동석, 방연석, 에렉트럼, 자연 창연 및 은 광물 등이 산출된다. 분석된 자료를 기초로, 모암은 주로 $SiO_2$, CaO 및 $CO_2$로 구성되며 소량 $Al_2O_3$, $Fe_2O_3(T)$ 및 MgO 등이 함유되어 있다. 광체로부터 모암으로 감에 따라 $SiO_2$, $Fe_2O_3(T)$, MgO, CaO 및 $CO_2$ 함량은 변화 폭이 크게 관찰된다. 모암변질시 모암의 물리-화학적 물성 때문에 원소 분산은 현저히 관찰되지 않으며 단지 광체 주변부에서만 관찰된다. 모암변질시 이득원소들은 $Fe_2O_3(T)$, 총 S, Ag, As, Bi, Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, Sb, Sn, W 및 Zn이고 손실원소들은 $SiO_2$, MnO, MgO, CaO. $CO_2$ 및 Sr 이다. 따라서 우리의 결과물은 황강리 광화대내 석회암질 대리암을 모암으로 갖는 광상들의 지화학탐사시 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

  • $H^{+}$ 이온에 선택적으로 감응하는 field effect transistor(pH-ISFET)를 바탕소자로 하고, 그 gate 주위에 Ag/AgCl 기준전극을 형성한 다음, 이를 둘러싼 수화젤(hydrogel)막 및 기체투과막의 이중막 구조를 가진 용존이산화탄소($CO_{2(aq)}$) 센서소자를 사진식각(photolithography)법으로 제작하였다. PVA-SbQ 혹은 PVP-PVAc/감광제 형의 광가교형 감광액은 수화젤막 형성에 적합하지 않았으나, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate(HEMA) 및 acrylamide를 포함하는 광중합형 감광액을 사용할 경우에는 사진식각법에 의한 수화젤막이 좋은 해상도로 얻어졌다. 기체투과막은 urethane acrylate계 UV-oligomer를 주성분으로 한 감광액을 써서 사진식각법으로 수화젤막위에 형성할 수 있었다. 또한 수화젤막 및 기체투과막을 사진식각법으로 형성할 때 N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl ethplenediamine(TED) 을 $O_{2}$ quencher로서 감광액 중에 도입함으로써 UV 노광시에 polyester film을 부착하는 번거로운 공정을 생략할 수 있음을 알았다. 이렇게 제조된 $pCO_{2}$ 센서는 수용액 중에서 $10^{-3}{\sim}10^{0}\;mol/{\ell}$$CO_{2}$ 농도변화에 대하여 직선적인 검정곡선(calibration curve)을 얻을 수 있었다.

  • The seeds of Raphanus sativus L. (RSL) and Phaseolus calcaratus Roxburgh (PHCR), the root of Scutellaria baicalensis (SB), and the flower of Lonicera japonica (LJ) have been traditionally used as herbal medicines for anti-inflammation. Unlike the SB and LJ, little information is available for the scientific bases that show the anti-inflammatory mechanisms of RSL and PHCR. In this study, we prepared boiled water extracts from the medicines and determined their potentials in inhibiting nitric oxide (NO) production, cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-$\alpha$ and interleukin (IL)-6 secretion in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. The effects of the medicines on serum IgE levels in ovalbumin (OVA)-administrated mice were also studied. The medicines inhibited production of TNF-$\alpha$ and IL-6, and COX-2 expression in LPSstimulated macrophages. Especially, PHCR water extract showed more potent inhibition on TNF-$\alpha$ production than SB and LJ extracts, but RSL extract did not exert these effects. Similar to the cases of SB and LJ, PHCR extract prevented the phosphorylation of $I{\kappa}B{\alpha}$ and c-Jun, and the activation of NF-${\kappa}B$-DNA binding. Further, oral supplementation of PHCR extract attenuated significantly serum levels of total and OVA-specific IgE in OVAtreated animals. These results suggest a possibility that PHCR water extract can be used for the treatment of inflammatory and allergic diseases.

  • [ $[Li_{0.04}(Na_{0.54}K_{0.46})_{0.96}](Nb_{1-0.04-X}TaxSb_{0.04})O_3$ ]lead-free piezoelectric ceramics have been prepared by normal sintering at $1,100^{\circ}C$ for 5 h. X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that specimens demonstrate orthorhombic symmetry when $Ta\leq5$ mol%. While transforming into tetragonal symmetry when $x\geq20$ mol%. These suggest that the orthorhombic and tetragonal phases co-exist in the ceramics with 5 mol% $cm^3$. As the result of SEM images, the grain growth was decreased with the increase of Ta substitution. The ceramics become 'softening', leading to improvements in $k_p$, $\varepsilon_r$ and $d_{33}$, but a decrease in $Q_m$. Excellent properties of $k_p$= 0.46, $d_{33}$= 293 pC/N, ${\varepsilon}_r$= 1,583 and Tc= $340^{\circ}C$ were obtained when Ta= 15 mol%.

  • In this study, we examined whether melatonin promotes apoptotic cell death via p53 in prostate LNCaP cells. Melatonin treatment significantly curtailed the growth of LNCaP cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Melatonin treatment (0 to 3 mM) induced the fragmentation of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) and activation of caspase-3, caspase-8, and caspase-9. Moreover, melatonin markedly activated Bax expression and decreased Bcl-2 expression in dose increments. To investigate p53 and p21 expression, LNCaP cells were treated with 0 to 3 mM melatonin. Melatonin increased the expressions of p53, p21, and p27. Treatment with mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitors, PD98059 (ERK inhibitor), SP600125 (JNK inhibitor) and SB202190 (p38 inhibitor), confirmed that the melatonin-induced apoptosis was p21-dependent, but ERK-independent. With the co-treatment of PD98059 and melatonin, the expression of p-p53, p21, and MDM2 did not decrease. These effects were opposite to the expression of p-p53, p21, and MDM2 observed with SP600125 and SB202190 treatments. Together, these results suggest that p53-dependent induction of JNK/p38 MAPK directly participates in apoptosis induced by melatonin.
