We investigated the antihypertensive effect of Pet ether extract (PE) of ginger rhizome; its toluene fraction (TF) and Korean ginseng extract (KGE) in deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA) - salt induced and fructose induced hypertensive rats. In DOCA model, DOCA (25 mg/kg, once a week; s.c) was administered in uninephrectomised animals for 4 w. PE (50 mg/kg/day; p.o), TF (10 mg/kg/day; p.o) and KGE (30 mg/kg/day; p.o) were evaluated for their antihypertensive effect. In the fructose model, drinking water was replaced with fructose (10%) for five weeks to induce hypertension. PE (50 mg/kg/day; p.o) and KGE (30 mg/kg/day; p.o) were assessed for its antihypertensive effect in fructose model. After completion of the treatment schedule, vascular reactivity to various agonists like 5-HT, noradrenaline, adrenaline, phenylbiguanide and acetylcholine were recorded in rats of both the models. A cumulative dose response curve (CDRC) of 5-HT was carried out in isolated rat fundus strip of the fructose induced hypertensive rats. Chronic administration of PE (50 mg/kg/day; p.o), TF (10 mg/kg/day; p.o), and KGE (30 mg/kg/day; p.o) significantly reduced the blood pressure in DOCA salt whereas PE (50 mg/kg/day; p.o) and KGE (30 mg/kg/day; p.o) reduced the blood pressure in fructose induced hypertensive rats. Treatment with PE (50 mg/kg/day; p.o) and KGE (30 mg/kg/day; p.o) in fructose model for five weeks shifted the CDRC towards the right on rat fundus. The mechanism of action may partly involve the serotonergic antagonistic property.

A metal mesh TCE film is fabricated using a series of processes such as UV imprinting of a transparent trench pattern (with a width of $2-5{\mu}m$) onto a PET film, filling it with silver paste, wiping of the surface, and heat-curing the silver paste. In this work nanosized (40-50 nm) silver particles are synthesized and mixed with submicron (250-300 nm)-sized silver particles to prepare silver paste for the fabrication of metal mesh-type TCE films. The filling of these silver pastes into the patterned trench layer is examined using a specially designed filling machine and the rheological testing of the silver pastes. The wiping of the trench layer surface to remove any residual silver paste or particles is tested with various mixture solvents, and ethyl cellosolve acetate (ECA):DI water = 90:10 wt% is found to give the best result. The silver paste with 40-50 nm Ag:250-300 nm Ag in a 10:90 wt% mixture gives the highest electrical conductance. The metal mesh TCE film obtained with this silver paste in an optimized process exhibits a light transmittance of 90.4% and haze at 1.2%, which is suitable for TSP application.

$[^{13}N]$Ammonia or $[^{13}N]NH_3$ is one of the most widely used PET tracer for the measurement of MBF. To produce $[^{13}N]NH_3$, devarda's alloy which contains aluminum, copper and zinc is used for the purpose of reduction from $^{13}N$-nitrate/nitrite to $[^{13}N]NH_3$. Since aluminum has neurotoxicity and renal toxicity, the amount of it should be carefully limited for the administration to the human body. Although USP and EP provide a way to identify the aluminum ion concentration, there are some difficulties to perform. Therefore, we tried to develop the modified method for verifying aluminum concentration of test solution. We compared color between test and standard solutions using chrome azurol S in pH 4.6 acetate buffer. We also tested color change of test and standard solutions according to pH, amounts and the order of reagent and time difference These results demonstrated that the color change of the solution can reflect quantitatively measure aluminum ion concentration. We hope the method is to be used effectively and practically in many sites where $[^{13}N]NH_3$ is produced.

Flexible impact force sensors composed of piezoelectric PZT/PDMS composite sandwiched between Al/PET films were fabricated and their voltage signal characteristics were evaluated under varying impact forces for electronic mitt applications. The piezoelectric impact force sensor on an ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) substrate exhibited an output voltage difference of no greater than 40 mV a periodical impact test in with the impact load was increased by as much as 240 N by a restoration time of 5 s in a five-time experiment, implying good sensing ability. Moreover, the impact force sensor embedded four electronic mitts showed a reliable sensitivity of less than 1 mV/N and good repeatability under 100 N-impact force during a cycle test executed 10,000 times. This indicated that the fabricated flexible piezoelectric impact sensor could be used in electronic mitt applications. However, the relatively low elastic limit of substrate material such as EVA or poly-urethane slightly deteriorated the sensitivity of the impact sensor embedded electronic mitt at over 200 N-impact forces.

닭가슴살의 품질변화를 실시간으로 모니터링하기 위하여 pH 지시약, AA, 다공성 기재인 $Tyvek^{(R)}$을 이용하여 신선도 인디케이터를 제조하였다. 닭가슴살의 대표적인 지표물질은 TVBN과 $CO_2$이며, 이는 저장기간에 따라 미생물의 증식과 단백질 분해를 통해 증가한다. 닭가슴살 저장실험 결과 미생물 수로 판단한 초기부패단계의 $CO_2$ 농도와 TVBN 발생량은 각각 19%와 23 mg%로 확인되었다. 지표물질 발생량 데이터를 토대로 BCG 및 AA의 농도별 인디케이터를 제조하여 인디케이터 색변화 시뮬레이션을 실시하였다. 그 결과, AA의 함량에 따른 인디케이터의 색변화구간 조절 가능성이 확인되었으며, 제조한 인디케이터 중 "G0.12_A0.5"의 인디케이터가 닭가슴살 초기 부패판정 농도인 TMA 20 mg%에서 육안으로 확인할 수 있는 뚜렷한 색변화를 보였다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 선정된 최적 조성의 인디케이터를 닭가슴살 포장내부에 부착하였으며, $4^{\circ}C$와 $10^{\circ}C$에서 8일동안 닭가슴살의 이화학적 변화와 그에 따른 인디케이터의 색변화를 관찰하였다. 그 결과, TCD 값을 통해 판단된 인디케이터의 색변화 발생일이 각 온도별 닭가슴살 초기부패판정일과 잘 부합하였으며, 이를 통해 시뮬레이션의 신뢰성을 확보할 수 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구 결과는 저장 중 닭가슴살의 품질변화를 제조한 인디케이터의 포장 내 부착을 통하여 감지하고 실시간 신선도 판단이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.
