To elucidate the changes in physiological activities of Scutellariae baicalensis by heating, composition analysis with HPLC and evaluation of physiological activities of extracts were conducted. HPLC analysis of CW(water extract at room temperature) and CHW(heat treated CW) indicated that two distinctive peaks in the HPLC chromatogram were disappeared after boiling and additional peak was newly observed. This observation suggested that certain chemical changed in the extract occurred by heat treatment. In the estimation of physiological activities, CW showed higher ACE inhibiting activity than CHW. In the case of cytotoxic activity against cancer cells, CW exhibited higher activity than CHW against CCL-185. On the other hand, CHW showed higher activity than CW against HeLa, SNU-601 and HepG2. In addition, CHW showed the inhibitory effect on melanogenesis (80% inhibition) while CW did not show any activity.

Tetractycline은 sulfonamides, penicilines 등과 함께 축산계에서 널리 사용되는 대표적인 항생물질의 한 종류이다. 2011년 사료 내 항생제 투여를 금지한 이후 자가치료 및 예방용으로 사용되고 있으며, 가축의 체내로 투여되는 tetracycline는 주로 분뇨에 포함되어 배출되는데, 강우 등 물 순환에 따라 지표수 및 지하수로 이동하여 미생물에 독성을 일으키거나 내성균이 발생하기도 한다. Tetracycline 등의 항생물질 처리 방식으로 흡착 등 다양한 공정이 제시되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 산화제 중 하나인 ferrate(VI)를 이용하여 tetracycline 분해실험을 수행하였다. ferrate(VI)는 염소산화물 및 H₂O₂에 비해 비교적 강한 산화력을 가지며, 처리 후 발생되는 철염(Fe³⁺)은 독성이 없다는 장점이 있다. Ferrate(VI)는 병원균 제거 등에 효과적인 것으로 알려져 있으며, 다양한 난분해성 물질과 항생물질을 성공적으로 분해하여 그 효과를 입증한 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 자체적으로 제조한 potassium ferrate(VI)를 이용하여 다양한 수중 환경에서 tetracycline를 분해하고, 분해특성 및 중간생성물 연구를 수행하였다. Ferrate(VI)는 염기성 환경에서 tetracycline 분해효율이 가장 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 pH에 따른 tetracycline과 ferrate(VI)의 이온화가 가장 큰 원인인 것으로 판단된다. 특히 ferrate(VI)는 pH가 낮을수록 쉽게 환원되는 특징이 있으며, 염기성으로 갈수록 안정화하여 오래 잔류하므로 이러한 결과가 나타난 것으로 판단된다. 중간생성물 조사 결과, ferrate(VI)와 tetracycline 사이의 분해 메커니즘은 주로 OH 라디칼로 인한 것이 대부분이며, hydroxylation과 amino group에서의 demethylation의 형태로 발생하였다. 이후 추가적인 반응으로 benzene ring이 깨지면서 결과적으로 CO₂ 및 H₂O 등으로 무기물화 되는 것으로 판단된다.

일반적으로 노동의 주무대인 작업장의 작업환경은 주거실내환경과는 다르다. 작업장에서는 유해물질을 다량으로 사용하거나 농축된 상태로 사용하므로 납과 수은, 카드뮴, 먼지 등 발암물질이나 인체에 유해한 물질에 노출이 용이함으로서 근로자들의 건강을 크게 위협하고 있다(김, 1999). 노동자는 작업환경에서 발암물질과 유해물질이 포함된 각종 먼지를 흡입하기 때문에 폐에 섬유증식을 일으키거나 폐기능을 저하시키는 직업병을 겪기도 한다. (중략)

휘발성 유기화학물질 (VOCs)이 인체의 건강에 미치는 영향은 아직까지도 명확하게 밝혀지진 않았지만 대부분의 물질이 재실자에게 자극과 불쾌감을 유발하며, 여러 종류의 발암성 물질을 포함하고 있는 것으로 알려지고 있다 휘발성 유기화학물질 중에서 80% 정도가 인체의 호흡기관을 자극하고 눈의 통증이나 자극을 유발하며, 이중에서 25% 정도는 발암성 물질로 파악되고 있다. (중략)

To develop a burnt beef flavor by reaction flavor technology, hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP) was reacted with precursors. Ribose, cysteine, furaneol, thiamin, methionine, garlic powder, and phospholipid were selected as suitable precursors for producing a burnt beef flavor. HVP and the selected precursors were reacted in a high pressure reactor to optimize reaction parameters, such as temperature, time, and water content. Optimum reaction conditions were $130^{\circ}C$, 1 hr, and 7.5% water addition. A burnt beef flavor was generated without pH adjustment. On the basis of an omission test, cysteine, furaneol, thiamin, and garlic powder were evaluated for optimization using response surface methodology. The optimum composition of precursore was determined to be 7.7% cysteine, 7.3% furaneol, 2.1% thiamin, and 6.9% garlic powder. Based on these results, optimum reaction conditions for the production of a burnt beef flavor from HVP were 5% ribose, 5% methionine, 5% phospholipid, 7.7% cysteine, 7.3% furaneol, 2.1% thiamin, 6.9% garlic powder, 7.5% water addition, $130^{\circ}C$ reaction temperature, and 1hr reaction time.

트리클로로에틸렌 (trichloroethylene, TCE)는 오랜 시간동안 자연환경에서 잔류할 뿐만 아니라 TCE보다 더욱 더 독성이 강한 중간 생성물들을 만들기 때문에 미국과 대부분의 전세계 국가들로부터 주요 1차 환경오염물질로 분류되었다. 그러한 독성물질들은 혐기성 상태에서는 다이클로로 에틸렌(dichloroethylene, DCE)과 바이닐 클로라이드 (vinyl chloride, VC)와 같은 독성물질들이 생성되고 호기성 상태에서는 TCE epoxide계통의 물질들이 생성된다. 또한 훈증제인 메틸 브로마이드 (methyl bromide)는 대기의 오존층을 파괴하는 것으로 알려져 있고, 2001년경에 미국환경보호청 (USEPA)에 의해 사용이 금지될 것이다. TCE는 혐기성 조건하에서 연속적으로 탈염소화되고, 이어서 호기성 조건하에서 완전 산화될 수 있다. 그리하여 연속적인 혐기성 및 호기성 조건하에서 궁극적으로 TCE의 완전분해를 이루게된다. 메틸브로마이드는 화학적으로 가수분해되어 메틸 알콜 (methyl alcohol)로 되거나 유기물에 강하게 결합 (bound)된다. 또한 그것은 생물학적으로 포름알데하이드 (formaldehyde)로 산화되거나 메틸알콜로 가수분해된다. 수많은 연구자들에 의해 행해진 연구들은 TCE와 MeBr은 메탄 혹은 암모니아 산화 세균에 의한 공동대사과정 (cometabolism)을 통해 분해가 증진될 수 있다는 것을 보여주었다. 두 부류의 세균들이 두 화합물들을 분해시킬 수 있는 monooxygenase를 생산한다는 것은 잘 알려져 있다. 이 연구 논문에서 TCE와 MeBr의 생분해와 관련된 가장 최근의 연구논문들로부터 나온 핵심 연구결과들이 요약 검토된다. TCE와 MeBr로 오염된 현장을 정화하기 위해 이러한 기초연구결과들을 토대로 더욱 더 많은 연구가 필요 할 것으로 사료된다.

This study focused on shorten the period of the struvite crystal birth and development by adding seed materials. For this purpose, three different seed materials were selected: sand, anthracite and struvite. The experiments has been conducted to evaluate the effect of the particle size of the selected seed material on the struvite crystallization, and to study the mixing effect which can be expressed by the value of $G{\cdot}t_d$(the multiple of mean velocity gradient(G) and mixing time($t_d$)). It was observed in this study that the removal efficiency of ammonia nitrogen increased by 9%, 11%, and 20% for sand, anthracite, and struvite added as the seed material, respectivley. This indicated that the struvite crystallization efficiency had a close correlation with the specific surface area of the seed particle. It was found that when struvite was selected as the seed material, the struvite crystallization proceeded at lower $G{\cdot}t_d$ value as compared with other seed materials. This observation implied that the secondary crystal birth would be dominated in this reaction. It was concluded in this study that the particle size was not significant factor on the struvite crystallization, while the $G{\cdot}t_d$ value was a considerably important factor in terms of the theory of the struvite crystal birth.

High energetic materials (HEMs) have been used in fuels, civil engineering and architecture as well as military purposes such as explosives and propellants. The essential process for the development of new energetic compounds is to accurately calculate its detonation performances. The most typical equation for calculating the explosive performance is the Kamlet-Jacobs (K-J) equation. In the K-J equation, the parameter such as the number of moles of gaseous products at the explosion, the average molar mass of gas products, and the explosion heat greatly affect the explosion performance. These depend on the product composition for the detonation reaction. In this study, detonation products of 65 high energetic molecules (HEMs) were calculated from the various rules such as Kamlet-Jacobs, Kistiakowsky-Wilson, modified Kistiakowsky-Wilson, Springall-Roberts rules to calculate more accurate detonation velocity (Dv). In addition, they were applied to five kinds of detonation velocity equations proposed by K-J, Rothstein, Xiong, Stine and Keshavarz. The mean absolute error and root mean square error of HEMs were obtained from experimental and calculated velocity value for each method. The K-J and Xiong equation that is slightly complex showed a lower mean absolute error than the simple Rothstein and Keshavarz equation. When the mod-KW rule was applied to the Xiong equation, the detonation velocities were the most accurate. This study compared the various method of calculating the detonation velocity of HEMs to obtain accurate HEMs performance.

When $^{14}C-{\alpha}-endosulfan$ was incubated with carp liver, kidney and gut preparations, it was metabolized to water soluble and organosoluble metabolites. In an in vitro test, endosulfan was converted to endosulfan ${\alpha}-hydroxyether$ (EHE), endosulfan alcohol (EA) and endosulfan ether (EE). The addition of NADPH resulted in rapid conversion of endosulfan to the metabolites in 105,000 g soluble fraction and microsomes. However, the rate of metabolism of endosulfan in liver, kidney and gut supplemented with NADPH as a cofactor was higher in the 105,000 g soluble fraction than that in the microsomes of carp under incubation conditions. The enzymes probably involved in the metabolism of endosulfan include the glutathione S-transferase (GST) and the mixed function oxidases (MFO), based on the evidence that addition of either GSH or NADPH increased the degradation of endosulfan.
