Studies on the resistance of Lactobacillus ssp., Bifidobacterium spp. and Bacillus coagulans to hydrogen peroxide were conducted by determination of the viable cells after the test cells in 2mM hydrogen peroxide solution for a predetermined time; L. acidophilus CU4111 and L. casei CU4114 were most resistant to the hydrogen peroxide among the fifteen test lactobacilli strains, whereas L. brevis Cu4206 was the strain which was the most susceptible to hydrogen peroxide. Bifidobacterium longum Cu4131 was one of the resistant strains. A prominant tendency found out that Bacillus coagulans possessed a strong resistance to hydrogen peroxide. The results of level of hydrogen peroxide determination in the cell extracts showed all the test strains contained hydrogen peroxide in the cytoplasm, the amount varied depending on the strain and species of lactic acid bacteria. Bifidobacterium bifidum CU 4134 and L. casei CU 4114 were potent hydrogen peroxide producer strain.

This study investigates the property of graphene filled polymer nanocomposites in LEO(Low Earth orbit) environment conditions. In order to improve compatibility with polymer matrices and resistance of carbon material against AO(Atomic oxygen) attack, silanization of graphene oxide with organosilane was carried out. The corresponding moieties were characterized through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Graphene oxide filled nanocomposites were prepared using solution based processing methods. The sets of specimen series were tested in an accelerated LEO simulated space environment facility. Graphene oxide and silane treated graphene oxide reinforced nanocomposites were compared with neat epoxy. The comparison revealed that the silane treated graphene filled polymer composite shows inherent resistance against atomic oxygen attack while the lack of silane treatment resulted in a reduction in performance.

Background: In acute pulmonary embolism it has been postulated that the constriction of bronchi and pulmonary artery secondary to neurohumoral response plays an important role in cardiopulmonary dysfunction in addition to the mechanical obstruction of pulmonary artery. Serotonin is considered as the most important mediator. Positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) stimulates $PGI_2$ secretion from the vascular endothelium, but its role in acute pulmonary embolism is still in controversy. Methods: To study the cardiopulmonary effect and therapeutic role of Ketanserin, selective antagonist of 5-HT2 receptor, and PEEP in acute pulmonary embolism experimental acute pulmonary embolism was induced in dogs with autologous blood clot. The experimental animals were divided into 3 groups, that is control group, Ketanserin injection group and PEEP application group. Results: Thirty minutes after embolization, mean pulmonary arterial pressure and pulmonary vascular resistance increased and cardiac output decreased. $PaO_2,\;P\bar{v}O_2$ and oxygen transport decreased and physiological shunt and $PaCO_2$ increased. After injection of Ketanserin, comparing with control group, mean pulmonary arterial pressure, pulmonary vascular resistance and physiological shunt decreased, while cardiac output, $PaO_2$ and oxygen transport increased. All these changes sustained till 4 hours after embolization. After PEEP application pulmonary vascular resistance, $PaO_2$ and $PaCO_2$ increased, while physiological shunt, cardiac output and oxygen transport decreased. After discontinuation of PEEP, mean pulmonary arterial pressure and pulmonary vascular resistance decreased and were lower than control group, while $PaO_2$ and cardiac output increased and higher than control group. $PaCO_2$ decreased but showed no significant difference comparing with control group. Conclusion: It can be concluded that Ketanserin is effective for the treatment of acute pulmonary embolism. With PEEP hemodynamic status deteriorated, but improved better than control group after discontinuation of PEEP. Thus PEEP may be applied carefully for short period in acute pulmonary embolism if the hemodynamic status is tolerable.

박막형 디스플레이구서에 있어서 투명전극은 필수적이다. 투명전극은 정보를 표시하기 위해 빛을 외부로 방출시키거나 태양광 등을 소자 내부로 입사시켜야 한다. 또한 전극을 형성하는 박막은 높은 광투과율과 ${\sim}10-4{\Omega}cm$ 정도의 낮은 전기비저항을 가져야 한다. 가장 널리 사용되는 투명전극으로 ITO (Indium Tin Oxide)는 인듐의 독성, 저온증착의 어려움, 스퍼터링시 음이온 충격에 의한 막 손상으로 저항의 증가 및 액정디스플레이의 투명전극으로 사용될 경우 $400^{\circ}C$정도의 높은 온도와 수소플라즈마 분위기에서 장시간 노출시 열화로 인한 광학적 특성변화가 문제로 지적된다. 이러한 문제 해결의 대안으로 ZnO 산화물 반도체가 있는데 ITO 박막에 비해 비저항이 높기 때문에 도핑을 이용한 비저항을 ${\sim}10-4{\Omega}cm$ 정도로 낮추어야 한다. 투명전도막으로는 ITO, FTO 등과 더블어 체적 저항율은 다소 높으나 환원성 분위기에 대한 내성, 가시광 영역에서의 높은 광투과율과 저렴한 가격 등의 장점 등으로 AZO 박막이 주목 받고 있다. ZnO는 ITO 나 FTO에 비해서 700 kJ/mol의 큰 분해에너지를 가지므로 코팅 때 발생하는 전도도 및 투과율이 나빠지는 현상이 발생하지 않는 특징이 있으며, 위의 두 재료에 비해 밴드갭도 가장 낮아서 자외선 투과율이 낮다. 그러나 내습성이 약하기 때문에 이를 보완하기 위하여 내습성향상과 전도성 향상을 위해서 3족 원소인 B, In, Al, Ga 등을 도핑한 ZnO 투명전도막의 연구가 진행되고 있다. 이러한 원소들 중에서 Al로 도핑했을 때 가장 낮은 비저항을 얻을 수 있다고 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 SiOC 박막위에 AZO 박막을 제조하기 위하여 RF 마그네트론 스퍼터링법을 이용하여 박막을 성장시켰으며, 박막의 전기적 및 광학적 특성을 조사하였다. AZO 박막은 rf power가 5~200 W인 RF 마그네트론 스퍼터 방법에 의해서 제작되었다. SiOC 박막은 산소와 DMDMOS 전구체의 유량비를 다르게 하여 플라즈마 발생 화학적 기상 증착방법으로 증착되었다. 증착된 SiOC박막은 UV visible spectroscopy에 의해서 분석하였다. 투명전극의 비저항은 rf 전력이 작을 수록 낮았으며, SiOC 절연막 위에 AZO를 증착시킨 후 반사률은 반대로 바뀌는 것을 확인하였다.

The effect of $O_2$ partial pressure on microstructure and soft magnetic properties of as-deposited Fe-Hf-O thin film alloys, which are produced by rf magnetron sputtering method in $Ar+O_2$ mixed gas atmosphere, are investigated. Saturation magnetization ($4{\pi}M_s$) of Fe-Hf-O film were decreased with increasing $O_2$ partial pressure, the best soft magnetic properties exhibit at $O_2$ partial pressure of 10%. With further increase of $O_2$ partial pressure, soft magnetic properties decreased continuously. The $Fe_{82}Hf_{3.4}O_{14.6}$ film with $P_{O2}=10%$ exhibits good soft magnetic properties with $4{\pi}M_s=17.7kG$, $H_c=0.7Oe$ and ${\mu}_ {eff}$ (1~100 MHz)=2,500, respectively. The addition of O is effective in grain refinement. In case of $P_{O2}=15%$, it is observed that $Fe_3O_4$ compound is formed and high frequency soft magnetic properties are decrease. The electrical resistvity($\rho$) of Fe-Hf-O film is increased with increasing $O_2$ partial pressure. Electrical resistivity of $Fe_{82}Hf_{3.4}O_{14.6}$ film was 5 times higher than that of the film without oxygen. Thus, it is considered that the good magnetic properties of $Fe_{82}Hf_{3.4}O_{14.6}$ film results from decreasing the $\alpha$-Fe grain size by precipitates (Hf and O), high electrical resistivity.

반도체 소자의 고집적화는 배선에서 많은 문제점을 야기 시킨다. 이러한 문제점들 중에서 대표적인 것이 과도한 전류밀도에 의한 electro-migration(EM)이다. 이는 앞으로 배선의 선폭이 0.25$mu extrm{m}$미만일 경우 더욱 심화될 전망이다. 이에 대안으로 Al-합금에서 Cu로 대체하여 이러한 문제를 해결하려 하고 있다. 그런데, Cu는 Si 및 SiO2와 높은 반응성과 빠른 확산속도를 가지기 때문에 확산방지막이 필요로 되어진다. 현재에는 TiN, TaN 등의 확산방지막이 사용되어지고 있으나, TiN 박막의 경우 표면에 Ti와 oxide와의 결합에 의해 Ti-O 성분이 존재하는데, 이럴 경우 Cu 증착을 하는데 있어 부정적인 요인이 된다. 또한, 이러한 화합물은 Cu와 TiN 계면사이에 밀착성을 나쁘게 하여 고전류 인가시 EM에 있어 높은 저항성을 가질 수가 없다. 따라서, 본 연구는 MOCVD방식으로 Cu 박막을 증착하기에 앞서 수소플라즈마를 이용하여 TiN 표면에 형성된 산소 화합물을 제거한 후 Cu를 증착하여 동일한 조건에서 EM 가속화 실험을 하였다. 그림 1은 Cu/TiN 구조에 있어 수소 전처리를 한 배선의 구조의 MTF(mean time to failure)가 65분이고 전처리를 하지 않은 배선구조는 40분으로 약 50% 긴 MTF를 가지는 것으로 나왔다. 결론적으로 Cu와 TiN 계면에 좋은 밀착성은 EM에 있어 우수한 저항성을 가지는 것으로 나왔다.

Background: Hyperoxemic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has been recognized as a safe technique and is widely used in cardiac surgery. However, hyperoxemic CPB may produce higher toxic oxygen species and cause more severe oxidative stress and ischemia/reperfusion injury than normoxemic CPB. This study was undertaken to compare inflammatory responses and myocardial injury between normoxemic and hyperoxemic CPB and to examine the beneficial effect of normoxemic CPB. Material and method: Thirty adult patients scheduled for elective cardiac surgery were randomly divided into normoxic group (n=15), who received normoxemic CPB (about Pa $O_{2}$ 120 mmHg), and hyperoxic group (n=15), who received hyperoxemic CPB (about Pa $O_{2}$ 400 mmHg). Myeloperoxidase (MPO), malondialdehyde (MDA), adenosine monophosphate (AMP), and troponin-T (TnT) concentrations in coronary sinus blood were determined at pre- and post-CPB. Total leukocyte and neutrophil counts in arterial blood were measured at the before, during, and after CPB. Lactate concentration in mixed venous blood was analyzed during CPB, and cardiac index (Cl) and pulmonary vascular

Localized hypoxia, due to the diminished $O_2$supply, is reported to cause necrosis of the arterial cell and to significantly decrease resistances to physiologic distending pressures. In the present study, in order to understand the mechanism of localized hypoxia which might result in the rupture of the aneurysm. $O_2$ transport phenomena across intraluminal thrombus in axisymmetric aneurysms under steady laminar flow condition were numerically analyzed using the Fick's law and the analogy with the fluid-solid heat transfer. For computational models, varying the thickness of intraluminal thrombus, numerical results showed that for the axisymmetric aneurysm with intraluminal thrombus. $O_2$ concentration became minimal at the aneurysm wall. With increased thickness of the intraluminal thrombus in the aneurysm. regions of low $O_2$ concentration were widely distributed near the aneurysm wall, which resulted in the possibility of localized hypoxia. The present study verifis that intraluminal thrombus influences $O_2$ transport to the aneurysm wall. depending on its size and structure.
