$Hg^{2+}$-induced aquation trans-[Co(3,2,3-tet)$X_2]^+$(3,2,3-tet = 4,7-diazadecane-1,10-diamine, $X_2\;=\;Cl_2,\;(NO_2)Cl,\;Br_2,\;(NO_2)Br,\;(NO_3)_2)$ complexes was investigated in aqueous solution. The products and the reaction mechanism were confirmed by chromatography, UV/Vis. spectrum, and circular dichroism (CD) spectrum. From the results, $Hg^{2+}$-induced aquation of 3,2,3-tet system has been produced cis-${\beta}$ complex via trans complex. The kinetic studies on $Hg^{2+}$-induced aquation of trans-[Co(3,2,3-tet)$Cl_2]^+$ complex and trans-[Co(3,2,3-tet)$(NO_2)Cl]^+$ complex were also carried out to study the reaction mechanism. The results show that trans-[Co(3,2,3-tet)$Cl_2]^+$ complex undergoes the D(dissociative)-mechanism and trans-[Co(3,2,3-tet)$(NO_2)Cl]^+$ complex $I_d$(interchange dissociavite)-mechanism. In order to confirm steric course for the reaction mechanism, $Hg^{2+}$-induced aquation on trans-[Co(R,R-3,2,3-tet)$Cl_2]^+$ complex to which chiral R,R-3,2,3-tet was coordinated instead of the racemic(R,R:S,S) 3,2,3-tet was used has been examined by CD spectrum. From the results, the final complex was confirmed to be ${\Delta}-cis-{\beta}$-[Co(R,R-3,2,3-tet)$(OH_2)_2]^{3+}$ complex indicating the chirality was retained through whole process.

Purpose: Alport SD., the most common herectitary rephriris, is a renal disease with rapid progression. Deafness, ocular abnormalities and a specific EM finding may be associated in addition to a family history. We have aralyged retrospectively. Methods: We observed 12 children with Alport syndrome who were diagnosed at Dept. of pediatrics in Kyunghee Univ., College of Medicine, from Apr. 1991 until Jun. 1999. We used four criteria for diagnosis: renal disease, family history, deafness or eye abnormalities, and a specific finding in electron microscopy Results: 2 of 12 patients had all features of the four diagnostic criteria. We could not trace an exact family history in 3 patients, and 6 patients did not exhibit deafness or eye abnormality. One could not have renal biopsy because offer chronic renal failure. Other three criteria were observed in her. The ratio of male to female observed was 1:2 respectively and the mean age of initial renal symptom was 5.6 years. 9 of 12 patients had a family history of renal disease. In the audiogram and ocular examination for 11 of 12 cases, sensorineural hearing loss was observed in 6 and ocular abnormality in 2 cases. In electron microscopic finding, irregular thickness of the capillary basement membranes with lamination of lamina densa and foot process obliteration was noted in 9 of 11 and thin basement membrane with splitting and foot process obliteration was noted in the other 2. The mean period of follow-up was 3 6/12 years. And one patient developed the chronic renal failure until now and had kidney transplantation. Conclusion: For the diagnosis of Alport syndrome, the following four diagnostic criteria are very important : renal disease, family history, deafness or eye abnormalities, and a specific finding on electron microscopy. We expect that more patients can be detected through the analysis of these characteristics.

For an optimal design of automotive electric system, it is important to have a reliable modeling tool to predict the charge-discharge behaviors of the automotive battery. In this work, a two-dimensional modeling was carried out to predict the charge-discharge behaviors of a 12-V automotive lead-acid battery. The model accounted for electrochemical kinetics and ionic mass transfer in a battery cell. In order to validate the modeling, modeling results were compared with the experimental data of the charge-discharge behaviors of a lead-acid battery. The discharge behaviors were measured with three different discharge rates of C/5, C/10, and C/20 at operating temperature of $25^{\circ}C$. The batteries were charged with constant current of 30A until the charging voltage reached to a predetermined value of 14.24 V and then the charging voltage was kept constant. The discharge and charge curves from the measurements and modeling were in good agreement. Based on the modeling, the distributions of the electrical potentials of the solid and solution phases, the porosity of the electrodes, and the current density within the electrodes as well as the acid concentration can be predicted as a function of charge and discharge time.

Background : A decreased level of serum arginine vasopressin(AVP) and an increased sensitivity to an exogenous AVP is expected in patients with septic shock who often require a high infusion rate of catecholamines. The goal of the study was to determine whether an exogenous AVP infusion to the patients with septic shock would achieve a significant decrement in infusion rate of catecholamine vasopressors while maintaining hemodynamic stability and adequate urine output. Method : Eight patients with septic shock who require a high infusion rate of norepinephrine had received a trial of 4-hour AVP infusion with simultaneous titration of norepinephrine. Hemodynamic parameters and urine output were monitored during the AVP infusion and the monitoring continued up to 4 hours after the AVP infusion had stopped. Results : Mean arterial pressure showed no significant changes during the study period(p=0.197). Norepinephrine infusion rate significantly decreased with concurrent AVP administration(p=0.001). However, beneficial effects had disappeared after the AVP infusion was stopped. In addition, hourly urine output showed no significant changes throughout the trials(p=0.093). Conclusion : Concurrent AVP infusion achieved the catecholamine vasopressor sparing effect in the septic shock patients, but there was no evidence of the improvement of renal function. Further study may be indicated to determine whether AVP infusion would provide an organ-protective effect to the septic shock patients.

Purpose: Some hormonal and electrolyte abnormalities have been reported in pediatric patients with urinary tract infection (UTI). This study aimed to investigate the relationships between the imbalance of electrolytes and the severity of infection and associated urologic anomalies in children with febrile UTI. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 267 patients with febrile UTI who were admitted to Korea University Guro Hospital during the period from January, 2007 until February, 2010. According to the presence of hyponatremia or hyperkalemia, clinical parameters and associated renal anomalies, such as hydronephrosis, cortical defects and vesicoureteral reflux, were compared. Results: 42.7% of all patients had decreased concentration of serum sodium. In patients with decreased concentration of serum sodium, cortical defects were significantly increased compared to normal patients (40.4% vs. 14.4%, P <0.05). White blood cell (WBC) counts ($15,721{\pm}6,553/uL$ vs. $12,885{\pm}5,367/uL$, P <0.05), C-reactive protein (CRP) ($61.8{\pm}56.1$ mg/L, vs. $29.9{\pm}39.8$ mg/L, P <0.05), and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) ($43.9{\pm}34.3$ mm/hr vs. $27.4{\pm}26.8$ mm/hr, P <0.05) in peripheral blood showed significant increases in the group with decreased concentration of serum sodium. Duration of fever, presence of gastrointestinal symptom, the incidence of hydronephrosis and vesicoureteral reflux did not differ between the two groups. None of the patients had significant hyperkalemia. Conclusion : We suggest that decreased concentration of serum sodium in febrile UTI might be a helpful marker for leukocytosis and increased CRP and ESR in peripheral blood, and acute pyelonephritis.

The object of this study is to prepare microcapsules containing a diisocyanate compound, apply them to self-healing protective coating, and evaluate the self-healing capability of the coating by atmospheric moisture. Isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) polymerized under humid atmosphere, indicating that IPDI can be used as a healing agent. Microencapsulations of IPDI were conducted via interfacial polymerization of a polyurethane prepolymer with diol compounds. The formation of microcapsules was confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The mean diameter, size distribution, morphology and shell wall thickness of microcapsules were investigated by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The properties of microcapsules were studied by varying agitation rates and diol structure. The self-healing coatings were prepared on test pieces of CRC board. When scratch was generated in the coatings, the core material flew out of the microcapsules and filled the scratch. The self-healing coatings were damaged and healed under atmosphere with 68~89% relative humidity for 48 h, and SEM and impermeability test for the specimens showed that the scratch could be healed by atmospheric moisture.

최근들어 반도체 및 디스플레이 소자의 구조가 복잡해짐에 따라 다층 박막 증착에 대한 중요성이 날로 증가하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 다층 박막을 효율적으로 증착하기 위해 회전이 가능한 육각건을 개발하였고, 이를 이용하여 에너지 절약형 단열 유리 증착 공정을 구현 하였다. 개발된 회전형 육각건은 기존 플래너형 스퍼터링 건의 확장형으로서 최대 6개의 물질을 하나의 챔버에서 증착이 가능하도록 구성되었다. 기존 공정의 경우 서로 다른 물질 증착을 위해서는 각각의 챔버가 필요한 반면, 회전형 육각건을 이용할 경우 하나의 챔버에서 공정을 진행할 수 있어 원가 절감이 가능하다. Fig. 1은 개발된 회전형 육각건의 모식도로서, 스퍼터링 타겟이 장착 가능한 건과, 회전부로 구성되어 있다. 이를 이용하여 투명전극-금속-투명전극-금속-절연체로 구성되어 있는 에너지 절약형 단열 유리용 다층 박막 증착 공정을 개발하였다. 이때 알루미늄이 도핑된 ZnO (AZO)는 RF 마그네트론 스퍼터로, 금속 박막은 DC 스퍼터, $SiO_2$ 및 SiN과 같은 절연 박막은 $O_2$와 $N_2$ 분위기에서 반응성 RF 스퍼터로 각각 증착하였다. Base pressure는 $10^{-7}$ torr였으며, 증착 시 공정 압력은 1~3 mTorr로 조정하였다. 증착 균일도 향상을 위해 20 rpm의 속도로 기판을 회전시켰다. Fig. 2(a)는 ZnO-Ag-ZnO 구조로 이루어진 다층 박막의 단면을 관찰한 투과전자 현미경 사진으로 각 층간의 계면이 뚜렷하게 나타남을 확인할 수 있으며, 각 층간의 intermixing 현상이 발생하지 않음을 확인 가능하다. 이를 보완하기 위해 Fig. 2(b)에서 보는 바와 같이 XPS를 이용하여 depth profile을 측정하였다. 각 층에서 서로 다른 물질이 발견되는 현상, 즉 교차 오염이 발생함에 따라 나타나는 intermixing 없이 거의 순수한 형태의 ZnO, Ag 박막 성분이 검출되었다. 이는 6개의 서로 다른 물질이 장착된 회전형 육각건을 이용하여 고 품질의 다층 박막 증착이 가능함을 제시하는 결과이다. 증착된 다층 박막의 균일도는 3.8%, 가시광선 영역에서 80% 이상의 투과도, 면저항 값은 3 ${\Omega}/{\Box}$ 이하를 보임으로서 에너지 절약형 단열 유리로서의 사양을 만족시키는 결과를 제시하였다.

Purpose : Several methods of IV ${\gamma}-globulin$(IVG) infusion are effective in the treatment of autoimmune disease, including idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura(ITP). But it is not known which method is more effective in the treatment of ITP. The effectiveness of these two methods of IVG infusion was studied in terms of platelet recovery rate, side effects and recurrence rate. Methods : Forty seven patients with acute ITP in the department of pediatrics, Eulji University Hospital from January 1995 to June 2001 were enrolled. We assesssed the treatment effects of 47 patients blindly selected; IV ${\gamma}-globulin$ 2 g/kg/day in one day(treatment group A, n=25), 400 mg/kg/day in five days(treatment group B, n=22). Results : Treatment group A increased platelet count more rapidly on the 2nd, 4th and 6th day of treatment than treatment group B. Side effects like fever, chill and vomiting were more frequent in treatment group A than treatment group B. The platelet count on the sixth day of treatment showed a greater increase in the cases which had side effects than in the cases which did not. There was no difference between the two groups in the recurrence rate. Conclusion : IV ${\gamma}-globulin$ 2 g/kg/day in one day increases platelet count more rapidly than 400 mg/kg/day in five days, and is favorable for the prevention of a severe hemorrhagic episode like early intracranial hemorrhage.

The Langmuir adsorption isotherms of the under-potentially deposited hydrogen (UPD H) and the over-potentially deposited hydrogen (OPD H) at the single crystal Pt(100)/0.5 M $H_2SO_4$ and 0.5 M LiOH aqueous electrolyte interfaces have been studied using the phase-shift method. The phase-shift profile $({-\varphi}\;vs.\;E)$ for the optimum intermediate frequency can be used as a useful method to estimate the Langmuir adsorption isotherm $(\theta\;vs.\;E)$ at the interfaces. The equilibrium constant (K) for the OPD H and the standard free energy $({\Delta}G_{ads})$ of the OPD H at the Pt(100)/0.5M $H_2SO_4$ aqueous electrolyte interface are $1.5\times10^{-4}$ and 21.8 kJ/mol, respectively. At the Pt(100)/0.5 LiOH aqueous electrolyte interface, K transits from 1.9(UPD H) to $6.8\times10^{-6}$(OPD H) depending on the cathode potential (E) and vice versa. Similarly, ${\Delta}G_{ads}$ transits -1.6 kJ/mol (UPD H) to 29.5 kJ/mol (OPD H) depending on E and vice versa. The transition of K and ${\Delta}G_{ads}$ is attributed to the two distinct adsorption sites of the UPD H and OPD H on the Pt(100) surface. The UPD H and the OPD H at the Pt(100) interfaces are the independent processes depending on the H adsorption sites rather than the sequential processes for the cathodic $H_2$ evolution reactions.
