The purpose of this study was to develop a cocktail approach for the measurement of the permeability of marker compounds, caffeine and propranolol (high permeability), ofloxacin (intermediate), atenolol (low), and quinidine (P-glycoprotein substrate), simultaneously. Then we compared the permeability in Caco-2 cells with that in rat intestinal segments. The difference between individual measurement and cocktail approach was less than 20 %, and the permeabilities of these compounds were similar to those previously reported, suggesting that the cocktail transport study and simultaneous drug analysis were successfully developed and validated in this study. Additionally, in the application of this cocktail method, the permeability of five drugs in rat jejunum was similar to that in ileum but different from that in colon, which was measured using the Ussing chamber system. Moreover, permeability in jejunum and ileum was similar to that in Caco-2 cells. In conclusion, the permeability in Caco-2 cells was equivalent to the permeability in rat jejunum and ileum determined with the Ussing system. Therefore, this newly developed cocktail assay and its application to the Ussing system can be a useful tool for robust and rapid screening for site-specific permeability in rat intestine, thus accelerating the prediction of absorption of new chemical entities.

Objectives: The method of analyzing urinary arsenic by flow injection hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry (FI-HG-AAS) is generally used because it shows relatively greater sensitivity, low detection limits, low blocking action, and is simple to operate. In this study, the results of analysis according to three pre-reductants commonly used in the FI-HG-AAS method were compared with each other. Methods: To analyze urinary arsenic, nineteen urine samples were collected from adults aged 43-79 years old without occupational arsenic exposure. Analysis equipment was FI-HG-AAS (AAnalyst 800/FIAS 400, Perkin- Elmer Inc., USA). The three pre-reductants were potassium iodide (KI/AA), C3H7NO2S (L-cysteine), and a mixture of KI/AA and L-cysteine (KI/AA&L-cysteine). Results: In the results of the analysis, the recovery rate of the method using KI/AA was 82.3%, 95.7% for Lcysteine, and 123.5% for KI/AA and L-cysteine combined. When compared with the results by use of high performance liquid chromatography inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry (HPLC-ICP-MS), the method using L-cysteine was the closest to those using HPLC-ICP-MS ($98.57{\mu}g/L$ for HPLC-ICP-MS; $74.96{\mu}g/L$ for L-cysteine; $69.23{\mu}g/L$ for KI/AA and L-cysteine; $13.06{\mu}g/L$ for KI/AA) and were significantly correlated (R2=0.882). In addition, they showed the lowest coefficient of variation in the results between two laboratories that applied the same method. Conclusion: The efficiency of hydride generation is considered highly important to the analysis of urinary arsenic via FI-HG-AAS. This study suggests that using L-cysteine as a pre-reductant may be suitable and the most rational among the FI-Hg-AAS methods using pre-reductants.

Gas-phase hydrogen atoms create a variety of chemical and physical phenomena on Si surfaces: adsorption, abstraction of pre-adsorbed H, Si etching, Si amorphization, and penetration into the bulk lattice. Thermal desorption/evolution analyses exhibited three distinct peaks, including one from the crystalline bulk. It was previously found that thermal-energy gaseous H(g) atoms penetrate into the Si(100) crystalline bulk within a narrow substrate temperature window(centered at ~460K) and remain trapped in the bulk lattice before evolving out at a temperature as high as ~900K. Developing and sustaining atomic-scale surface roughness, by H-induced silicon etching, is a prerequisite for H absorption and determines the $T_s$ windows. Issues on the H(g) absorption to be further clarified are: (1) the role of the detailed atomic surface structure, together with other experimental conditions, (2) the particular physical lattice sites occupied by, and (3) the chemical nature of, absorbed H(g) atoms. This work has investigated and compared the thermal H(g) atom absorptivity of Si(100), Si(111) and Si(110) samples in detail by using the temperature programmed desorption mass spectrometry (TPD-MS). Due to the differences in the atomic structures of, and in the facility of creating atom-scale etch pits on, Si(100), (100) and (110) surfaces, the H-absorption efficiency was found to be larger in the order of Si(100) > Si(111) > Si(110) with a relative ratio of 1 : 0.22 : 0.045. This intriguing result was interpreted in terms of the atomic-scale surface roughening and kinetic competition among H(g) adsorption, H(a)-by-H(g) abstraction, $SiH_3(a)$-by-H(g) etching, and H(g) penetraion into the crystalline silicon bulk.

Background: Considering the expenses of and difficulties in arsenic speciation by high performance liquid chromatography-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (HPLC-ICP-MS), alternative measurement methods should be useful, especially for large-scale research and projects. Objectives: A measurement method was developed for arsenic speciation using HPLC-atomic fluorescence spectrometry (HPLC-AFS) as an alternative to HPLC-ICP-MS. Methods: Total arsenic and toxic arsenic species in some seafoods were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry coupled with hydride vapor generation (AAS-HVG) and HPLC-AFS, respectively. Recovery rate of arsenic species in seafood was evaluated by ultra sonication, microwave and enzyme (pepsin) for the optimal extraction method. Results: Limits of detection of HPLC-AFS for As³⁺, dimethylarsinate (DMA), monomethylarsonate (MMA) and As⁵⁺ were 0.39, 0.53, 0.60 and 0.64 ㎍/L, respectively. The average accuracy ranged from 97.5 to 108.7%, and the coefficient of variation was in the range of 1.2~16.7%. As³⁺, DMA, MMA and As⁵⁺ were detected in kelp, the sum of toxic arsenic in kelp was 40.4 mg/kg. As³⁺, DMA, MMA and As⁵⁺ were not detected in shrimp and squid, but total arsenic (iAS and oAS) content in shrimp and squid analyzed by AAS-HVG were 18.1 and 24.7 mg/kg, respectively. Conclusions: HPLC-AFS was recommendable for the quantitative analysis method of arsenic species. As toxic arsenic species are detected in seaweeds, further researches are needed for the contribution degree of seafood in arsenic exposure.

아메리슘(Am)은 사용후핵연료의 장기 방사성 독성에 크게 영향을 주기 때문에 고준위 방사성 폐기물 처분의 장기 안전성 평가에 필수적으로 고려되어야 할 원소이다. 분광학적 방법을 이용한 일부 악티나이드 원소의 화학반응 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있는 반면, 아메리슘에 대한 연구는 아직까지 미비한 상황이다. 이 연구에서는 고순도의 시료를 필요로 하는 화학반응 연구를 위하여 $^{241}Am$ 시료를 정제한 후, 액체섬광계수기와 감마선 및 알파선 스펙트럼을 이용하여 정량과 정성분석을 하였다. 액체 광도파 모세관 셀을 이용한 고감도의 UV-Vis 흡수 분광학과 시간분해 레이저 형광 분광학을 이용하여 Am(III) 가수분해물과 옥살레이트(oxalate, Ox) 착물반응을 조사하였다. 산성조건에서 $Am^{3+}$은 503 nm에서 최대 흡수봉우리를 보이며, 몰흡광계수는 $424{\pm}8cm^{-1}{\cdot}M^{-1}$임을 확인하였다. 중성 이상의 pH 조건에서 형성되는 $Am(OH)_3(s)$ 콜로이드 입자에서는 506-507 nm 파장에서 최대 흡수봉우리가 관측되었다. ${Am(Ox)_3}^{3-}$ 착물은 $Am^{3+}$에 비교하여 흡수 및 발광스펙트럼이 각각 4와 5 nm정도 장파장으로 이동하였고 몰흡광계수와 발광세기도 크게 증가하였다. ${Am(Ox)_3}^{3-}$의 발광수명은 23에서 56ns으로 증가하였고 이는 Am(III)의 내부권에 결합하고 있던 약 여섯 개의 물분자가 옥살레이트의 카르복실기로 치환되었음을 의미한다. 이 결과로부터 ${Am(Ox)_3}^{3-}$은 각 옥살레이트 리간드가 두 자리 결합(bidentate)을 하고 있다는 것을 제안하였다.

In the area of the destruction-free NIR analysis of fruit and vegetables development has not yet progressed as far as in grain and similar products. One reason for that is, that in contrast to grains, in fruit and vegetables water appears as the outstanding main-component making up typically 80% by weight of the fruit. Of the M absorption spectrum of pure water the bands at 1450, 970 and 760 nm are the first, second and third overtones respectively of O-H stretch while those at 1940 and 1190 are combination bands involving O-H stretch and O-H bend. The choice of band for spectrometry is governed by considerations of sensitivity and selectivity. The overtone bands are satisfactory for use in moisture measurements from 0 to 4 % depending on path length. Measurements in fruits and vegetables at wavelength areas that are also important for the determination of carbohydrates (sucrose, glucose, fructose) often lead to total absorption in the presence of significant water even if short path lengths are possible. In this work model systems are used containing different carbohydrates in solvents like heavy water (D$_2$O) or dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) that do not contain O-H functional groups.

The outer membrane (OM) of gram-negative bacteria acts as an effective permeability barrier against noxious agents including several antibiotics and organic solvents, and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is the key molecule for this function. Outer membrane modified mutants (Ml-166, M2-42, M3-21) of E. coli DH5$\alpha$/pBSl were selected through a mutation using EMS (ethyl-methane-sulfonate). Among the selected mutants, M3-21 was twice as sensitive as LumisTo $x^{ }$ to benzene and M2-41 was 8 times as sensitive as LumisTo $x^{ }$ to toluene. To identify the structural change in the membrane by mutation, the relative cell surface hydrophobicities and the absorption of the crystal violet to the organisms were measured. All the mutants absorbed more crystal violet than their parent and the absorption of crystal violet increased in cell walls as carbohydrate of lipopolysaccharide decreased. When the cell surface hydrophobicities of DH5/pBSl and its mutants were measured by the BATH, the hydrophobicities of mutants increased compared to their parent in several organic solvents. The difference of lipopolysaccharide between DH5/pBSl and its mutants was identified by various ways such as the SDS-PAGE gel, the screening of LPS molecular weights, the mass spectrometry, and MALDI-TOF.F.

Transparent conductive oxides (TCOs) have attracted attention due to their high electrical conductivity and optical transparency in the visible region. Consequently, TCOs have been widely used as electrode materials in various electronic devices such as flat panel displays and solar cells. Previous studies on TCOs focused on their electrical and optical performances; there have been numerous attempts to improve these properties, such as chemical doping and crystallinity enhancement. Recently, due to rapidly increasing demand for flexible electronics, the academic interest in the mechanical stability of materials has come to the fore as a major issue. In particular, long-term stability under bending is a crucial requirement for flexible electrodes; however, research on this feature is still in the nascent stage. Hydrogen-incorporated amorphous In-Sn-O (a-ITO) thin films were fabricated by introducing hydrogen gas during deposition. The hydrogen concentration in the film was determined by secondary ion mass spectrometry and was found to vary from $4.7{\times}10^{20}$ to $8.1{\times}10^{20}cm^{-3}$ with increasing $H_2$ flow rate. The mechanical stability of the a-ITO thin films dramatically improved because of hydrogen incorporation, without any observable degradation in their electrical or optical properties. With increasing hydrogen concentration, the compressive residual stress gradually decreased and the subgap absorption at around 3.1 eV was suppressed. Considering that the residual stress and subgap absorption mainly originated from defects, hydrogen may be a promising candidate for defect passivation in flexible electronics.
