Background: A relationship between low vitamin D levels and the development or outcomes of respiratory diseases has been identified. However, there is no data on the vitamin D status in patients with acute eosinophilic pneumonia (AEP). We evaluated the vitamin D status in patients with AEP among South Korean military personnel. Methods: We prospectively compared the serum levels of total 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], 25(OH)D3, and 25(OH)D2 among patients with AEP, pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB), and community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Results: In total, 65 patients with respiratory diseases, including AEP (n=24), PTB (n=19), and CAP (n=22), were identified. Of the 24 patients with AEP, 2 (8%) had deficient total 25(OH)D levels (<10 ng/mL), 17 (71%) had insufficient total 25(OH)D levels (${\geq}10$ to <30 ng/mL), and only 5 (21%) had sufficient total 25(OH)D levels (${\geq}30$ to <100 ng/mL). The difference in the total 25(OH)D levels among patients with AEP, PTB, and CAP was not statistically significant (p=0.230). The median levels of total 25(OH)D, 25(OH)D3, and 25(OH)D2 were 22.84, 22.84, and 0.00 ng/mL, respectively, and no differences in the 25(OH)D level were present among patients with AEP, PTB, and CAP with the exception of the total 25(OH)D level between patients with AEP and PTB (p=0.042). Conclusion: We have shown that low vitamin D levels are frequently found in patients with AEP and are comparable with those in patients with PTB and CAP.

열에 불안정하면서 -OH기를 함유하는 미지의 화합물은 LC/TSP/MS에서 [${MNH_4}^+$] 이온, [$MH^+$] 이온, 그리고 [$MH^+-OH$] 이온의 생성이 가능하며, 이들 이온의 m/z값의 차이가 17로서 같기 때문에 이들의 생성 정도에 따라 분자량 추정에 혼란이 일어날 수가 있었다. 따라서 다른 보완 가능한 실험결과가 요구되며 $CF_3COOD+NH_4OH$ 이온화 용액을 사용하여 그 유용성을 검토하였다. 또한 LC/TSP/MS에서 생성되는 토막이온들이 필라멘트의 전자살에 의해 생성되는 것인지 아니면 다른 어떤 생성기전이 존재하는지를 검토하였다.

Nowadays, trivalent rare-earth ($RE^{3+}$) ions activated metal oxides have been proved to be excellent host materials due to their various applications. Facile wet-chemical technique have been considered as the best synthetic route due its intensive interest in the preparation of nanostructures. Europium ion doped lanthanum hydroxide ($La(OH)_3:Eu^{3+}$) phosphors were synthesized by the facile wet chemical method using the hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) as a mediated surfactant. The thermal behavior for the $La(OH)_3:Eu^{3+}$ phosphors was investigated by thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis method. The morphological studies were measured by scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope measurements, indicating three-dimensional (3D) flower-like $La(OH)_3:Eu^{3+}$ nanorod bundles. After subsequent annealing process, the lanthanum oxide ($La_2O_3:Eu^{3+}$) phosphor exhibited similar kind of morphology. The synthesized $La(OH)_3:Eu^{3+}$ and $La_2O_3:Eu^{3+}$ samples were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Furthermore, photoluminescence and cathodoluminescence properties were studied in details.

층상 구조의 유기-무기 복합 소재 $Cu_2(OH)_3(CH_3COO){\cdot}H_2O$에 마이크로파를 조사하면서 $Cu_2O$와 Cu를 합성하였다. 에틸렌 글리콜에서는 $Cu_2(OH)_3(CH_3COO){\cdot}H_2O$이 환원이 되어서 Cu금속이 형성되는 반면에, 수용액에 글루코오스를 넣으면$Cu_2(OH)_3(CH_3COO){\cdot}H_2O$이 환원이 되어 $Cu_2O$가 형성되었다. 마이크로파 조사시간과 글루코오스의 농도가 $Cu_2O$의 입자의 생성과 성장에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다. 마이크로파의 조사시간이 길어질수록 $Cu_2O$의 입자는 수 ${\mu}m$의 구형에서 40nm의 지름을 가진 나노 선으로 변함을 확인하였다.

Milled Korean pine (Pinus densiflora) wood was used to evaluate its adsorption capacity of Cu(II) ions from aqueous solution by running a series of batch experiments. Prior to the tests, the milled woods were pretreated with 1N NaOH, 1N $NHO_3$, and distilled water, respectively, to examine the effect of pretreatment. Within the tested pH range in this study between 3 and 6, copper adsorption efficiency of NaOH-treated wood(96~99%) was superior than $NHO_3$-treated wood(19~31%) and distilled water-treated wood(18~35%). Adsorption behavior of copper onto both raw and $NHO_3$-treated woods was mainly attributed to interaction with carboxylic acid group. For NaOH-treated wood, carboxylate ion produced by hydrolysis was a major functional group responsible for Cu sorption. NaOH treatment of wood changed the ester and carboxylic acid groups into carboxylate group, whereas $NHO_3$ treatment did not affect the production of functional groups which could bind copper. A pseudo second-order kinetic model fitted well for the sorption of copper ion onto NaOH-treated wood. A batch isotherm test using NaOH-treated wood showed that equilibrium sorption data were better represented by the Langmuir model than the Freundlich model.

쥐 뇌의 microsome으로 부터 ${\Delta}^{5}-3{\beta}$-hydroxy steroid acyl 전이효소(${\Delta}^{5}-3{\beta}$-OH-SAT)를 detergent를 이용하여 용해한 뒤에 인산지방질 liposome에서 재구성하여 처리하지 않은 microsome의 ${\Delta}^{5}-3{\beta}$-OH-SAT의 활성도와 비교하였다. 용해에 사용한 detergent중에는 deoxycholic acid가 Tween 80이나 Triton X-100 보다 우수한 ${\Delta}^{5}-3{\beta}$-OH-SAT 활성도를 나타냈으며, liposome 생성에 사용한 인산지방질중에서는 난황 및 대두 phosphatidyl-choline이 가장 높은 활성도를 보였으며 그 다음이 phosphatidylethanolamine이었고 phosphatidylserine과 phosphatidic acid는 재구성하지 않은 용해된 효소보다 ${\Delta}^{5}-3{\beta}$-OH-SAT 활성도가 낮았다. 따라서 인산지방질의 head group의 4차 암모늄기나 amine기는 ${\Delta}^{5}-3{\beta}$-OH-SAT의 재구성활성을 촉진시키고 COOH기가 amine기와 함께 존재하거나 amine기가 없으면 이 효소의 활성이 저해됨을 알 수 있었다.

Although various raw plant materials have been demonstrated to exert anti-obesity effects to a greater or lesser extent in both humans and animals when they are used to supplement the diet, it has not been shown extensively that they influence adipocyte cell differentiation involving lipid metabolic gene expressions. Using a well-established 3T3-L1 preadipocyte differentiation system, we decided to look into molecular and cellular event occurring during adipocyte differentiation when raw plant materials aye included in the process, in an effort to demonstrate the potential use of a screening system to define the functions of traditionally well-known materials. To these ends, the effects of ethanol (EtOH) or EtOH/distilled water (DW) extracts of Wax Gourd were examined using cytochemical and molecular analyses to determine whether components of the extracts modulate adipocyte differentiation of 3T3-Ll preadipocytes in vitro. The cytochemical results demonstrated that EtOH or EtOH/DW extracts did not affect lipid accumulation and cell proliferation, although the degree of lipid accumulation was influenced slightly depending on the extract. EtOH extract was highly effective in apoptotic induction during differentiation of 3T3-Ll preadipocytes (p<0.05). Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis of lipoprotein lipase (LPL), Uncoupling protein (Ucp) 2, 3 and 4 also showed that while LPL expression was not influenced, Ucp2, 3 and 4 were up regulated in the EtOH extract-treated group and down regulated in the EtOH/DW extract-treated group. These changes in gene expressions suggest that the components in different fractions of Wax Gourd extracts may modulate lipid metabolism by either direct or indirect action. Taking these results together, it was concluded that molecular and cellular analyses of adipocyte differentiation involving lipid metabolic genes should facilitate understanding of cellular events occurring during adipocyte differentiation. Furthermore, the experimental scheme and analytical methods used in this study should provide a screening system for the functional study of raw plant materials in obesity research.

Magnesium hydroxide sulfate hydrate whiskers ($5Mg(OH)_2{\cdot}MgSO_4{\cdot}3H_2O$, abbreviated 513 MHSH) were prepared using hydrothermal reaction with magnesium oxide (MgO) and magnesium sulfate ($MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$) as the starting materials. The effects of the molar ratio of $MgSO_4$/MgO and amount of $NH_4OH$ were studied. As a result, 513 MHSH whiskers co-existed with hexagonal plate $Mg(OH)_2$ at low concentration of $SO_4^{2-}$. The molar ratio of $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$/MgO was 7:1, uniform 513 MHSH whiskers were formed without impurity such as $Mg(OH)_2$. Appropriate amount of $NH_4OH$ has affected to formation of high quality MHSH. Their morphologies and structures were determined by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and thermo-gravimetric analyzer (TGA).

본 연구는 알칼리 활성화 슬래그에서 혼합 활성화제에 관한 것이다. 본 연구에서는 수산화나트륨(NaOH, A Case), 수산화칼슘($Ca(OH)_2$, B Case), 수산화마그네슘($Mg(OH)_2$, C Case), 수산화알루미늄($Al(OH)_3$, D Case), 그리고 수산화칼륨(KOH, E Case)의 5가지 수산화계열 활성화제를 사용했다. 이 5가지 수산화계열 활성화제와 탄산나트륨($Na_2CO_3$)를 혼합하였다. 5가지 수산화계열 활성화제의 농도는 3M로 하고, 탄산나트륨은 1M, 2M, 3M로 하였다. 플로우와 응결 특성은 탄산나트륨의 혼합에 따라 감소하는 결과가 나타났다. 그러나 압축응력은 탄산나트륨의 혼합 농도에 따라 증가하는 결과를 나타내었다. 이것은 수산화계열 활성화제와 탄산나트륨의 혼합은 알칼리 활성화 슬래그 모르타르의 특성에 효과적인 것으로 판단된다.
