본 연구는 꼭두서니의 뿌리인 천초근의 물 추출물과 에탄올 추출물을 이용하여 대장암 세포에 대한 암세포 성장 억제 및 사멸효과가 있는지 알아보고자 수행하였다. ERA(천초근 에탄올 추출물)은 폴리페놀($45.77{\pm}2.03mg/g$)과 플라보노이드($22.82{\pm}1.33mg/g$)를 함유하고 있었으며, $H_2O_2$에 의해 증가된 ROS(reactive oxygen species)를 억제하는 효과를 나타냈지만 WRA(천초근 물 추출물)은 효과가 없었다. 또한 ERA는 $500{\mu}g/m{\ell}$의 농도로 대장암 세포주(HCT-116)에 처리했을 때 세포사멸을 유도할 뿐만 아니라 caspase-3 단백질 활성화, DNA fragmentation 및 apoptotic cell death를 일으키는 것으로 확인되었다. 이는 ERA가 HCT-116 세포주에 대해 apoptosis(세포자멸사)를 통해 항암효과를 나타내는 것으로 생각되지만 다른 연구결과들과 비교하였을 때 농도 대비 효능이 미미하다. 따라서 천초근 에탄올 추출물에 대장암 세포의 성장을 억제하는 유효성분을 분석하여 그 효능을 탐색하는 추가실험이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin. Etiological studies of diabetes and its complications showed that oxidative stress might play a major role. Therefore, many efforts have been tried to regulate free oxygen radicals for treating diabetes and its complications. Gamigukihwandong-hwan has been known to be effective for the treatment of diabetes. The present study was carried out to investigate the effect of Gamigukihwandong-hwan on renal function, peroxynitrite (ONOO$^-$) scavenging activity and polyol pathway in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. The crushed Gamigukihwandong-hwan was extracted 3 times, each time with 3 volumes of methyl alcohol at 60$^{\circ}C$ for 24 h. The extract was filtered and evaporated under a reduced pressure using a rotary evaporator to yield 74.95 g. Gamigukihwandong-hwan extract was oral-administered 100 mg per 1 kg of body weight for 20 days to the diabetic rats induced by streptozotocin (60 mg/kg). The effects of Gamigukihwandong-hwan extract on the streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats were observed by measuring the serum level of glucose, insulin, lipid components, creatinine and BUN, and also the kidney levels of superoxide anion radical (${\cdot}O_2^-$), nitric oxide (NO) and ONOO$^-$, and also the enzyme activities involved in polyol pathway. The Effects of Gamigukihwandong-hwan on the streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats with regards to body weight, blood glucose and insulin levels, creatinine and BUN levels, total cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and HDL-cholesterol levels were all shown to be good enough to cure and prevent the diabetes and its complications. Gamigukihwandong-hwan inhibited the generation of ${\cdot}O_2^-$, NO and ONOO$^-$ in the kidney of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Renal aldose reductase and sorbitol dehydrogenase activities were increased in the streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats, whereas the ones in the Gamigukihwandong-hwan administered group among the streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats were reversed toward the natural activities. Gamigukihwandong-hwan might inhibit the development of diabetic nephropathy by scavenging reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, thereby by reducing oxidative stresses and also by regulating the activities of polyol pathway enzymes, all of which could help to recover the function of kidney.

본 연구에서는 식품의 가공이나 조리 시 빈번히 적용되는 가열처리에 의한 심황색소의 화학안정성, 산화방지활성 및 세포독성의 변화를 조사하였다. $95^{\circ}C$에서 각 시간별로 가열처리한 심황색소는 가열시간이 증가할수록 발색도가 감소하였으며, 형광도는 초기 가열 시에 증가하다 감소하는 양상을 보였다. HPLC 분석 결과 3종의 쿠쿠미노이드 중 쿠쿠민이 가열처리에 가장 민감하였으며 BMC가 가장 안정하였다. 가열 처리 후의 심황색소에 의해 ABTS 라디칼, AAPH peroxyl 라디칼 및 아질산염 소거활성이 증가하였으나, DPPH 라디칼 소거활성에는 변화가 없었다. 가열처리 시간의 증가에 따라 심황색소로 부터의 $H_2O_2$ 생성능이 증가한 반면, 정상장관계 세포 INT 407 및 대장암 세포 HCT 116를 대상으로 한 세포독성평가에서는 가열처리 후 심황색소의 활성이 유의적으로 약화되었다. 본 연구결과는 다양한 가공식품에 첨가되는 심황색소의 화학안정성 및 생리활성이 가열처리에 의해 크게 영향을 받으며, 생리활성 증진을 목적으로 첨가되는 심황색소에 이러한 가열처리 효과가 고려되어야 함을 시사한다.

This study was to examine characteristics of treating toluene vapor, which gets to be problematic due to its harmful carcinogenicity and mass generation from various sources, through a biological treatment facility which is environment-friendly and adopts a high-efficient and low-cost clean technology. In order to identify whether Alnus Firma Fruit (AFF) can be used as a media for a bioreactor, its utility and basic operating factors, a study was conducted on pressure drop, supply of nutrient substances and retention time which are operating factors of a biofilter, and eliminating characteristics were compared between AFF and the conventional biological activatedcarbon (BAC) widely used as filter media. In the case of AFF, the initial microbial deposits was 2.3${\times}$10$^{7}$ CFU/g dry AFF, which represents the initial microbial density higher than the case of BAC showing 5.5${\times}$10$^{6}$ CFU/g dry BAC And it took about 2 weeks to acclimate until its eliminating rate got to be increased over 90%. As a result of comparing pressure loss taking place with the lapse of time between BAC and AFF, after 130 days passed at SV 25h$^{-1}$ , BAC showed that its eliminating efficiency had a tendency to drop greatly due to a great pressure loss (0.53\longrightarrow54.7 mm$H_2O$/m) caused by an excess of biomass as accumulated. On the other hand. AFF showed that the pressure drop was 0.53 mm$H_2O$/m, about 2 times as much as the initial pressure loss of 0.4 mm$H_2O$/m, which represents no great change in the pressure loss, and its eliminating efficiency was also shown to be continuously high. Therefore, when AFF was used as a filler for a biological treatment facility, a biological filter enabling improvement of the purifying efficiency to be promoted could be provided, and moreover, the pressure loss was so small that the filler replacement cycle or the back flushing cycle could be extended. So, even in terms of the operating cost, it was identified to be an economical filler When an inorganic material was used as a filler, the biofilters performance acted sensitively on whether nutrient substances were supplied or not. In the case of AFF with low adsorptivity, addition of ethyl-alcohol increased the solubility of toluene, and consequently, biodegradation got to be actively made by microbes, and thus, its eliminating rate could be increased. As the flow velocity and the inflow concentration got to be more increased, its eliminating rate got to be lower, and particularly, an increase in the flow velocity made its eliminating rate drop more greatly than an increase in the concentration.

선택적 촉매 환원법(SCR)은 질소산화물(NO_x)을 저감하는 매우 효율적인 방법으로 알려져 있으며 발생된 질소산화물(NO_x)을 질소(N₂)와 수증기(H₂O)로 환원시키는데 촉매 작용을 한다. 질소산화물(NO_x) 저감 성능을 결정하는 요소 중 하나인 촉매는 셀 밀도가 증가하면 촉매효율이 증가하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 실습선 세계로호에 설치되어 있는 발전 기관의 배기가스 조건을 모사한 실험장치를 통하여 100CPSI(60Cell)촉매의 부하에 따른 질소산화물(NO_x) 저감 성능을 확인하고 세계로호에 설치되어 있는 25.8CPSI(30Cell) 촉매의 기존 연구 자료와의 비교를 통해, 셀 밀도가 질소산화물(NO_x)의 저감에 미치는 영향에 대하여 고찰하였다. 실험용 촉매는 셀 밀도만 변화를 주었고 형태는 벌집형(honeycomb), 조성물질은 V₂O₅-WO₃-TiO₂를 동일하게 사용하여 제작하였다. 실험결과 100CPSI(60Cell) 촉매의 질소산화물(NO_x) 농도 저감율은 평균적으로 88.5%이며 IMO specific NOx 배출량은 0.99g/kwh로 IMO Tier III NOx 배출기준을 만족하였다. 25.8CPSI(30Cell) 촉매의 경우, 질소산화물(NO_x) 농도 저감율은 78%, IMO specific NOx 배출량은 2.00g/kwh 이었다 두 촉매의 NOx 농도 저감율과 IMO specific NOx 배출량을 비교하였을 때, 100CPSI(60Cell)촉매가 25.8CPSI(30Cell) 촉매보다, NOx 농도 저감율은 10.5% 높고 IMO specific NOx 배출량은 약 2배 적은 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 촉매의 셀 밀도를 높임으로써 효율적인 탈질효과를 기대할 수 있으며 향후 실선 테스트를 통하여 검증한다면 촉매의 부피 저감을 통한 제작 비용을 줄이고 협소한 선박 기관실을 효율적으로 사용하기 위한 실용적인 자료로서 기대된다.

Paraquat 독성작용에 있어서 mitochondria의 잠재적인 역할을 평가하기 위하여, 이 약물의 산소 radical 생성과 지질과산화 반응에 미치는 영향을 mouse간의 submitochondrial particle 과 microsome에서 비교하여 보았다. Submitochondrial particle 사용시 NADH를, microsome 사용시 NADPH를 전자공여체로 이용한 경우 paraquat는 두 분획에서 superoxide anion과 hydrogen peroxide의 생성을 증가시켰다. 동일한 조건하에서 paraquat는 hydroxyl radical의 생성을 시사하는 methional로 부터 ethylene의 생성을 증가시켰다. 그러나, paraquat에 의한 이들 각각의 효과는 microsome에서 보다 submitochondrial particle에서 약간 낮았다. 한편, 두 분획 모두에서 paraquat는 지질과산화 반응을 촉진시켰다. Submitochondrial particle과 microsome에서의 Paraquat에 의한 지질과산화반응은 i) 두 분회에서 지질과산화는 SOD에 의해서 부분적으로 억제됨을 보였고, DETAPAC(iron chelator)에 의해서는 완전히 억제되었고, catalase와 hydroxyl radical scavenger에 의해서는 억제되지 아니하였으며, ii) 반응내 $ADP-Fe^{3+}$ 첨가로 paraquat에 의한 지질과산화는 더욱 증가되었지만 methional로 부터 ethylene 생성은 감소하여 hydroxyl radical 생성과 지질과산화 사이에는 상관성이 없음으로 보아 같은 기전을 통해 촉진됨을 알 수 있었고 이러한 촉진작용은 perferryl ion을 통하여 일어나리라 추측되었다. Submitochondrial particle에서 paraquat에 의해 촉진된 산소라디칼 생성과 지질과산화 반응은 p-hydroxymercuribenzoate(NADH dehydrogenase 억제제)에 의하여 억제되었으나 다른 respiratory chain 차단제들에 의해서는 거의 영향을 받지 않음으로 보아 mitochondria에서의 paraquat의 redox-cycling은 CoQ 보다는 NADH dehyrogenase와 관련이 있음을 시사하였다. 이상의 결과로 보아 산소 radical의 생성과 지질과산화를 유도하는 paraquat의 redox-cycling은 microsome에서와 마찬가지로 mitochondria에서도 일어나며, 이결과 생체내에서의 paraquat의 독작용에 관여함을 짐작할 수 있다.

A thermoelectric flow sensor for small quantity of gas flow rate was fabricated using silicon wafer semiconductor process and bulk micromachining technology. Evanohm R alloy heater and chromel-constantan thermocouples were used as a generation heat unit and sensing parts, respectively. The heater and thermocouples are thermally isolated on the $Si_{3}N_{4}/SiO_{2}/Si_{3}N_{4}$ laminated membrane. The characteristics of this sensor were observed in the flow rate range from 0.2 slm to 1.0 slm and the heater power from 0.72 mW to 5.63 mW. The results showed that the sensitivities $(({\partial}({\Delta}V)/{\partial}(\dot{q}));{\;}{\Delta}V$ : voltage difference, $\dot{q}$ : flow rate) were increased in accordance with heater power rise and decreasing of flow rate.

In this study, microorganism community characteristics of organic managed soil which applied rye (Secale cereal L.) as green manure for 25 years, were determined. The chemical properties of organic soil showed high level of organic matter and available $P_2O_5$, while the level of exchangeable cation was low. The analysis of dehydrogenase activity and carbon source utilization indicated that the values in on organic soil were significantly higher than those of the control. It suggested that the microorganism community of organic soil had high microorganism activity, compared to the control. In addition, when the 16S rRNA gene-targeted NGS (Next generation sequencing) analysis was conducted to estimate the class of bacterial community, the class level of bacterial taxon composition on organic soil showed higher portion of Sphingobacteriia, Acidobacteriia, Gammaproteobacteria, Solibacteres and Planctomycetia. By base on the results of various reports in which organic managed soil had high portion of Acidobacteriia and Planctomycetia, the characteristic of taxon composition in organic soil, which showed the high percentages of Ktedonobacteria, Sphingobacteriia, Acidobacteriia and Gammaproteobacteria, was resulted from the application of rye as a green manure for the long term. However, further researches were needed because the crop effect was not considered in this study.

Zinc ion has both essential and toxic effects on mammalian cells. The results demonstrated that the ability of zinc to act as an inducer of apoptosis in C6 glial cells. Incubation with 0.2 mM ZnCl₂ caused cell death that was characterized as apoptosis by internucleosomal DNA fragmentation, formation of apoptotic bodies, nuclear fragmentation and breakdown of the mitochondrial membrane potential. ZnCl₂-induced apoptosis of C6 glial cells was prevented by the addition of Sibjeondaebo-Tang and antioxidants including reduced glutathione, N-acetyl-L-cysteine. We further confirmed that ZnCl₂ decreased the intracellular levels of GSH as well as generation of H₂O₂ in C6 glial cells. In 2D-electrophoresis, computer-assisted comparative analysis of the respective silver stained spot patterns revealed 3 groups with strongly decreased intensity by ZnCl₂. Whereas, 3 groups with increasing intensity were recovered by Sibjeondaebo-Tang. These results suggest that Sibjeondaebo-Tang may function as an antioxidant against free radicals and be applicable to the treatment of brain cells against oxidative stress.

Linerboards have been produced by recycling recovered paper such as old corrugated containers(OCC). Usually linerboards produced during summer season show weak strength compared with those of produced during winter. In order to cope with the weak strength of linerboards produced during summer, and to confirm uniform quality, it is important to understand the seasonal effect on strength properties. Effect of pulping temperature of the OCC for linearboard production was investigated by controlling pulping temperatures at $18^{\circ}C$ and $51^{\circ}C$. Low pulping temperature ($18^{\circ}C$) caused more generation of fines in stock. Consequently retention and drainage of linerboard defibrated at high pulping temperature ($51^{\circ}C$) were better than those of $18^{\circ}C$. Strength properties of handsheet at low pulping temperature were higher than those of high pulping temperature and it could be confirmed that low pulping temperature during winter is one reason of seasonal variation of recycled linerboard strength. It is considered that surface modification of OCC fibers by harsh pulping action during winter caused increase of paper strength.
