Quercetin is one of the most distributed flavonoids in the plant kingdom and occurs naturally in a wide range of fruits and vegetables. This study was undertaken to determine whether quercetin exerts beneficial effect against necrotic and apoptotic cell death induced by hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O2$) in intestinal cells using the human-derived cultured T84 colonic epithelial cell line. Necrotic cell death was induced by exposing cells to 0.5 mM $H_2O_2$ for 2 h and apoptosis was induced by incubating cells in normal culture medium for 18 h following exposure of cells to 0.5 mM $H_2O2$ for 2 h. Cell viability was evaluated by the trypan blue exclusion assay and apoptosis was assessed by Hoechst 33258 staining and flow cytometry. $H_2O_2$ induced necrotic cell death in a time and dose-dependent fashion. Both necrotic and apoptotic cell deaths were not prevented by the antioxidants N,N'-diphenyl-p-phenylenediamine(DPPD) and Trolox, whereas both cell deaths induced by the organic hydroperoxide t-butylhydroperoxide (tBHP) were prevented by DPPD, suggesting that $H_2O_2$ induces cell death through a lipid peroxidation-independent mechanism. $H_2O2$-induced necrotic death was prevented by deferoxamine and 3-aminobenzamide, while the apoptotic cell death was not affected by these agents. Quercetin prevented both necrotic and apoptotic cell deaths induced by $H_2O_2$ in a dose-dependent manner. $H_2O_2$ caused activation of poly (ADP-ribose) polmerase (PARP), which was inhibited by deferoxamine, 3-aminobenzamide, and quercetin, but not DPPD. These results indicate that quercetin inhibits both necroticand apoptotic deaths of T84 cells. The anti-necrotic effect of quercetin may be attributed to its iron chelator activity rather than a direct $H_2O_2$ scavenging capacity and antioxidant. The present study suggests that quercetin may play a therapeutic role in the treatment of human gastrointestinal diseases mediated by oxidants.

본 연구에서는 $TiO_2$ 나노입자로 표면침적된 polyethersulfone (PES) 정밀여과 분리막이 자연유기물로 인한 분리막 막힘현상(파울링)에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. $TiO_2$ 나노입자로 표면침적된 PES 정밀여과 분리막의 자연유기물 파울링 거동에 $TiO_2$ 나노입자의 결정구조와 용액의 pH 그리고 $Ca^{+2}$이 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. 연구결과, $TiO_2$ 나노입자로 표면 개질된 정밀여과 분리막은 자연유기물에 의한 파울링 현상을 현저하게 감소시킬 수 있음을 확인 할 수 있었다. 그러나 이와같은 현상은 $TiO_2$ 나노입자의 결정구조와 용액의 성상에 매우 의존하는 것으로 나타났다. 자연유기물 파울링의 감소는 결정구조가 상대적으로 불안정한 anatase $TiO_2$ 나노입자를 분리막에 표면침적 시, 용액 중 $Ca^{+2}$이 존재하지 않을 때 상대적으로 높은 pH에서 효과적인 것으로 관찰되었다. 그러나 $Ca^{+2}$의 첨가 시 이와 같은 효과는 높은 pH에서 더욱 증가할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 반면, 결정구조가 상대적으로 안정한 rutile $TiO_2$ 나노입자의 경우 자연유기물의 파울링 감소는 용액의 조성에 큰 영향을 받지 않는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 Pt/$TiO_2$ 촉매를 이용한 $H_2$ SCR 반응에서 배가스 중 CO에 대한 영향을 조사하였다. 반응가스 중 공존하는 CO는 촉매표면의 활성점에서 환원제인 $H_2$와의 경쟁흡착을 유발하여 반응활성을 감소시키는 결과를 나타내었다. 또한 경쟁흡착은 반응활성의 감소와 함께 미반응 $H_2$ 및 CO의 생성을 야기하였으며 주입되는 CO의 농도가 증가할수록 이러한 현상들은 극심한 양상을 보였다. CO에 의한 inhibition을 최소화하기 위하여 $PdO_2$, $CeO_2$를 첨가하였으며 $CeO_2$를 첨가한 촉매가 100 ppm 이하의 공존 CO에 대한 내구성을 나타내었다.

This experiment has been carried out for the purpose of investigating the effect of $V_2O_5$ and $H_3BO_3$ additives on sintering of magnesium oxide over the temperature range of 1300-150$0^{\circ}C$ MgO powder has been obtained by calcin-ing extra reagent grade magnesium carbonate(basic) at 90$0^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes. The specimens were prepared by compression with pressure of 700Kg/cm2 then fired at 1300-150$0^{\circ}C$ for 0-5hrs. Sintering behaviour and microstructure of fired specimens were examined. Densification rates obeyed the equation D=K 1n t+C. The ratio of density in case of addition of $V_2O_5$ to theoretical density of pure periclase was 95-99% Activation energy of densification in case of $V_2O_5$ addition was 30.15 Kcal/mole. The range of average grain size in case of addition of $V_2O_5$ was 40-50$\mu\textrm{m}$. $H_3BO_3$ addtivie had not an effect on densification of MgO.

The photochemical decolorization of Rhodamine B (RhB) in water has been carried out by photo-Fenton process. The effect of applied $H_2O_2$, $Fe^{2+}$ dose, solution pH and UV dose have been studied. The influence of constituent processes of photo-Fenton such as UV, $H_2O_2$ and Fenton has been investigated. Comparison of RhB removal was made between the photo-Fenton and $UV/H_2O_2$ process. The results obtained showed that the optimum dosage of $Fe^{2+}$ and $H_2O_2$ were 0.0031 mmol and 0.625 mol, respectively. pH 3 is found to be the optimum pH of for photo-Fenton process. pH and UV dose strongly influenced the decolorization of RhB in photo-Fenton process. The photo-Fenton and $UV/H_2O_2$ processes showed similar decolorization and seem to be appropriate for the decolorization of dye wastewater.

Objective : This study was undertaken to determine whether Gamibaegi-eum (BGU) in vitro and in vivo exerts a beneficial effect against cell injury induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the human intestine. Methods : Effects of BGU in vitro on cell injury were examined using Caco-2 cells, cultured human intestinal cell line. Exposure of cells to H₂O₂ induced increases in the loss of cell viability in a time and dose-dependent fashion. Results : BGU prevented H₂O₂-induced cell death and its effect was dose-dependent over a concentration range of 0.05­1%. H₂O₂-induced cell death was prevented by catalase, the hydrogen peroxide scavenger enzyme, and deferoxamine, the iron chelator. However, the potent antioxidant DPPD did not affect H₂O₂-induced cell death. H₂O₂ increased lipid peroxidation, which was inhibited by BGU and DPPD. H₂O₂ caused DNA damage in a dose-dependent manner, which was prevented by BGU, catalase, and deferoxamine, but not DPPD. BGU restored ATP depletion induced by H₂O₂. BGU inhibited generation of superoxide and H₂O₂ and scavenged directly H₂O₂. Oral administration of mepirizole in vivo at a dose of 200mg/kg resulted in ulcer lesions in the stomach and the proximal duodenum. Pretreatment of BGU(0.1%/kg, orally) and catalase (800Units/kg, i.v.) significantly decreased the size of ulcers. Mepirizole increased lipid peroxidation in the mucosa of the duodenum, suggesting an involvement of ROS. Pretreatment of BGU and catalase significantly inhibited lipid peroxidation induced by mepirizole. Morphological studies showed that mepirizole treatment causes duodenal injury and its effect is prevented by BGU. Conclusion : These results indicate that BGU exerts a protective effect against cell injury in vitro and in vivo through antioxidant action. The present study suggests that BGU may playa therapeutic role in the treatment of human gastrointestinal diseases mediated by ROS.

Super- and sub-critical water treatments have been of interest as novel methods for protein hydrolysis. In the present study, we studied the effect of sub-critical water (Sub-$H_2O$, $300^{\circ}C$, 80 bar) treatment as well as super-critical water (Super-$H_2O$, $400^{\circ}C$, 280 bar) treatment on the physicochemical properties of porcine skin (PS), which has abundant collagen. Porcine skin was subjected to pre-thermal treatment by immersion in water at $70^{\circ}C$, and then treated with sub- or super-critical water. Physicochemical properties of the hydrolysates, such as molecular weight distribution, free amino acid content, amino acid profile, pH, color, and water content were determined. For the molecular weight distribution analysis, 1 kDa hydrolyzed porcine skin (H-PS) was produced by Super-$H_2O$ or Sub-$H_2O$ treatment. The free amino acid content was 57.18 mM and 30.13 mM after Sub-$H_2O$ and Super-$H_2O$ treatment, respectively. Determination of amino acid profile revealed that the content of Glu (22.5%) and Pro (30%) was higher after Super-$H_2O$ treatment than after Sub-$H_2O$ treatment, whereas the content of Gly (28%) and Ala (13.1%) was higher after Sub-$H_2O$ treatment. Super-$H_2O$ or Sub-$H_2O$ treatment affected the pH of PS, which changed from 7.29 (Raw) to 9.22 (after Sub-$H_2O$ treatment) and 9.49 (after Super-$H_2O$ treatment). Taken together, these results showed that Sub-$H_2O$ treatment was slightly more effective for hydrolysis than Super-$H_2O$ was. However, both Sub-$H_2O$ and Super-$H_2O$ treatments were effective processing methods for hydrolysis of PS collagen in a short time and can be regarded as a green chemistry technology.

[ $H_2O_2$ ], a member of reactive oxygen species (ROS), is known to be involved in the mediation of physiological functions in a variety of cell types. However, little has been known about the physiological role of $H_2O_2$ in exocrine cells. Therefore, in the present study, the effect of $H_2O_2$ on cholecystokinin (CCK)-evoked $Ca^{2+}$ mobilization and amylase release was investigated in rat pancreatic acinar cells. Stimulation of the acinar cells with sulfated octapeptide form of CCK (CCK-8S) induced biphasic increase in amylase release. Addition of $30\;{\mu}M\;H_2O_2$ enhanced amylase release caused by 10 pM CCK-8S, but inhibited the amylase release induced by CCK-8S at concentrations higher than 100 pM. An ROS scavenger, $10\;{\mu}M$ Mn(III)tetrakis(4-benzoic acid)porphyrin chloride, increased amylase release caused by CCK-8S at concentrations higher than 100 pM, although lower concentrations of CCK-8S-induced amylase release was not affected. To examine whether the effect of $H_2O_2$ on CCK-8S-induced amylase release was exerted via modulation of intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ signaling, we measured the changes in intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ concentration $([Ca^{2+}]_i)$ in fura-2 loaded acinar cells. Although $30\;{\mu}M\;H_2O_2$ did not induce any increase in $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ by itself, it increased the frequency and amplitude of $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ oscillations caused by 10 pM CCK-8S. However, $30\;{\mu}M\;H_2O_2$ had little effect on 1 nM CCK-8S-induced increase in $[Ca^{2+}]_i$. ROS scavenger, 1 mM N-acetylcysteine, did not affect $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ changes induced by 10 pM or 1 nM CCK-8S. Therefore, it was concluded that $30\;{\mu}M\;H_2O_2$ enhanced low concentration of CCK-8S-induced amylase release probably by increasing $[Ca^{2+}]_i$ oscillations while it inhibited high concentration of CCK-8S-induced amylase release.

A precipitation method, one of the most effective liquid phase reaction methods, was adopted in order to prepare high-tech Al2O3/ZrO2 composite ceramics. Al2(SO4)3.18H2O, ZrOCl2.8H2O and YCl3.6H2O were used as starting materials and NH4OH as a precipitation agent, various types of metal hydroxides were obtained by single precipitation(series A) and co-precipitation(series B) method at the pH condition between 7 and 11. Fine Al2O3-ZrO2 powders were prepared at optimum calcination condition and the effects of ZrO2 on microstructures and mechanical properties of Al2O3 were investigated. The composition of Al2O3/ZrO2 composites wax fixed as Al2O3-15 v/o ZrO2(＋3m/o Y2O3). ZrO2 limited the grain growth of Al2O3 and increased grain size homogeneity of Al2O3 more effectively than MgO.Flexural strength values in Al2O3 and Al2O3/ZrO2 composites were 340-430 MPa and 540-820 MPa, respectively, and the effect of strength improvement showed 20-50% by adding ZrO2 to Al2O3. Fracture toughness of Al2O3/ZrO2 composites was improved by stress-induced phase transformation of tetragonal ZrO2 and toughening effect by microcrack was not observed. Also, ZrO2 particles located at Al2O3 grain junction contributed to toughening, while spherical ZrO2 particles located within Al2O3 grain did not contribute to toughening. Weibull moduli of Al2O3 ceramics and Al2O3/ZrO2 composites of series A and series B were 4.34, 5.17 and 9.06, respectively. Above 0.5 of failure probability, strength values in Al2O3 ceramics and Al2O3/ZrO3 composites of series A and series B were above 400 MPa, 700 MPa and 650 MPa, respectively.
