Aluminum alloy was examined as a material of low weight reactor for hydrolysis of $NaBH_4$. Aluminum is dissolved with alkali, but there is NaOH as a stabilizer in $NaBH_4$ solution. To decrease corrosion rate of aluminum, decrease NaOH concentration and this result in loss of $NaBH_4$ during storage of $NaBH_4$ solution. Therefore stability of $NaBH_4$ and corrosion of aluminum should be considered in determining the optimum NaOH concentration. $NaBH_4$ stability and corrosion rate of aluminum were measured by hydrogen evolution rate. $NaBH_4$ stability was tested at $20{\sim}50^{\circ}C$ and aluminum corrosion was measured at $60{\sim}90^{\circ}C$. The optimum concentration of NaOH was 0.3 wt%, considering both $NaBH_4$ stability and aluminun corrosion. $NaBH_4$ hydrolysis reaction continued 200min in aluminum No 6061 alloy reactor with 0.3 wt% NaOH at $80{\sim}90^{\circ}C$.

Purpose: Development of a latent antimicrobial soft liner is strongly needed to overcome a possible inflammation related with its dimensional degrade or surface roughness. Modified tissue conditioner (TC) containing chitosan-doped silver nanoparticles (ChSN) complexes were synthesized and assessed for their characterizations. Materials and methods: ChSN were preliminarily synthesized from silver nitrate (AgNO₃), sodium borohydride (NaBH₄) as a reducing agent and chitosan biopolymer as a capping agent. Ultraviolet-visible and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were conducted to confirm the stable reduction of nanoparticles with chitosan. Modified TC blended with ChSN by 0 (control), 1.0, 3.0 and 5.0 % mass fraction were mechanically tested by ultimate tensile strength (UTS), silver ion elution and color stability (n=7). Results: At 24 hour and 7 day storage periods, UTS values were not significant (P>.05) as compared with pristine TC (control) and silver ion was detected with the dose-dependent values of ChSN incorporated. Color stability of TC were influenced by ChSN add, with the higher doses, the significantly greater color changes (P<.05). Conclusion: A stable synthesized ChSN was acquired and modified TC loading ChSN was characterized as silver ion releasing without detrimental physical property. For its clinical application, antimicrobial test, color control and multifactor investigations are still required.

Properties of $NaBH_4$ hydrolysis reaction using Co-P-B/FeCrAlloy catalyst and the catalyst durability were studied. Co-P-B/FeCrAlloy catalyst showed low activation energy such as 25.2 kJ/mol in 5 wt% $NaBH_4$ solution, which was similar that of noble metal catalyst. The activation energy increased as the $NaBH_4$ concentration increased. Formation of gel at high concentration of $NaBH_4$ seriously affected hydrogen evolution rate and the catalyst durability. The catalyst loss decreased as reaction temperature increased due to lower gel formation when the concentration of $NaBH_4$ was over 20 wt%. Considering hydrogen generation rate and durability of catalyst, the catalyst supported with FeCrAlloy heat-treated at $1,000^{\circ}C$ without ultra vibration during dipping and calcination after catalyst dipping was best catalyst. To use catalyst more than three times in 25 wt% $NaBH_4$ solution, it should be reacted at higher temperature than $60^{\circ}C$.

The present paper was investigated to elucidate the nitrite-scavenging ability of vegetable extracts. Vegetable extracts possessed the scavenging ability of nitrite. By fractionatioh of vegetable extracts,nitrite-scavenging ability of garlic (Allitum sativum for. Pekinense), chinese pepper (Zanthexylum schinifolium), onion (Allium cepa), welsh onion (Allium fistulosum) and ginger (Zingiber officinale) extracts were effective in the water-soluble fraction, but carrot (Daucus carota uar. sativa) in the methanol-soluble fraction. Nitrite-scavenging ability of vegetable extracts was also pH-dependent, highest at pH 1.2 and lowest at pH 6.0. Particularly, nitrite-scavenging abilities of water-soluble fractions obtained from garlic and chinese pepper were similar to that of L-ascorbic acid at pH 1.2. After vegetable extracts were treated with sodium borohydride, nitrite-scavenging ability was remarkably decreased at pH 1.2. It is assumed that reducing powers of vegetable extracts participated in their nitritescavenging abilities.

The present paper was investigated to elucidate the nitrite-scavenging ability of seaweed extracts. Seaweed extracts possessed the scavenging ability of nitrite. By fractionation of seaweed extracts, nitrite-scavenging ability of laver(Porphyra tenera), sea lettuce(Enteromorpha compresa) extracts were effective in the water-soluble fraction, but sea mustard (Undaria pinnatifida), sea staghorn (Codium fragile) extracts in the methanol-soluble fraction. Nitrite scavenging ability of seaweed extracts was also pH-dependent, highest at pH1.2 and lowest at pH6.0. Particularly, nitrite-scavenging abilities of water-soluble fractions obtained from laver and sea lettuce were similar to that of L-ascorbic acid at pHl.2. After seaweed extracts were treated with sodium borohydride, nitrite-scavenging ability was remarkably decreased at pH1.2. It is assumed that reducing powers of seaweed extracts participated in their nitrite-scavenging abilities.

The primary concern has been focused on the response and adaptation of mouse fibroblast tumor cells to heat-shock in the level of membrane surface proteins, using two labeling techniques, lactoperoxidase-catalyzed iodination and galactose oxidase-sodium borohydride. Cells arrested in $G_1$ phase exhibited the highest level of LETS protein and high molecular proteins than did cells passing through $G_1/S, S, G_2$ and M, and unsynchronized cells. Confluent cells were found to show an increase in 125K proteins and a decrease in 130K and 100K proteins selectively. The adaptation processes of tumor cells after heat-shock were observed. All the proteins above 80K were reduced immediately after heat-shock, whereas 70K protein increased markedly 24 hours after heat-shock. The 70K protein and high molecular proteins returned to normal level in 48 hours. The 70K protein was found to be trypsin-sensitive and was similarly labeled by galactose-oxidase as well as by lactoperoxidase. It was, therefore, concluded that 70K protein is glycoprotein located on the surface membrane and might be the HSP 70. Possible function of heat-shock protein on the surface membrane and the relation of this protein to differential heat-sensitivity of tumor cells are discussed.

Tc-99m Labeled hexamethylenepropyleneamineoxime ([$^{99m}Tc$]-HMPAO) is a famous amino-oxime compound and is widely used to construct SPECT images of cerebral blood flow. To investigate the relationship between chemical structure and radiolabeling in these kind of diamine-oxime compounds, we synthesized seven compounds by Schiff's base formation and successive reduction with sodium borohydride. They were (RR/SS )-4,8-diaza-3,6,6,9-tetramethylundecane-2,10-dione bisoxime (2), (RR/SS/meso)-4,8-diaza-3,9-dimethy-lundecane-2,10-dione bisoxime (4), (RR/SS/meso)-4,8-diaza-3,10-dimethyldodecane-2,11-dione bisoxime (5), (RR/SS/meso)-4,7-diaza-3,6,6,8-tetramethyldecane-2,9-dione bisoxime (8), (RR/SS/meso)-4,7-diaza-5,6-cyclohexyl-3,8-dimethyldecane-2,9-dione bisoxime (10), (RR/SS/meso)-3,4-bis(1-aza-2-methyl-3-oxime-1-butyl)-benzoic acid (12), and (RR/SS/ meso)-2,3-bis(1-aza-2-methyl-3-oxime-1-butyl) benzophenone (14). Chemical structures of all the synthesized compounds were identified by taking $^1H$ spectrum. Among them, 2 and 4 are propyleneamine oxime (PnAO), 6 is butyleneamine oxime (BnAO) and 8, 10, 12 and 14 are ethyleneamine oxime (EnAO). Each compound (0.5 mg) was incubated with stannous chloride (0.5 g - 8 g), carbonate-bicarbonate buffer (final concentration = 0.1 M, pH 7 - pH 10) and Tc-99m-pertechenate (1 ml). Tc-99m labeling of these compounds were checked by ITLC (acetone), ITLC (normal saline), reverse phase TLC (50 % acetonitrile) and ITLC (ethyl acetate). According to the results, EnAO's were not labeled by Tc-99m in any of above condition. About 11 % of maximum labeling efficiency was obtained with BnAO. However, 4 (PnAO) was labeled with Tc-99m to 85 % which is similar to the labeling efficiency of 2 (HMPAO). Hydrophilic impurity (9 % ) was the most significant problem with the labeling of 4, however, pertechnetate (3 % ) and colloid (3 %) were minor problem. In conclusion, we synthesized seven diamine blsoxlme compounds. Among them, four EnAO compounds were not labeled by Tc-99m. A BnAO was labeled poorly and two PnAO's were labeled well. These labeling can be explained by tertiary structure of their Tc-99m chelate.

최근 소형 다기능, 고기능 전자장비의 개발로 인하여 고밀도 전원이 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 연료전지는 높은 전력 밀도를 가짐으로 인하여 소형 전원 장비에 가능성을 가지는 것으로 여겨지고 있다. 연료전지 중 특히 고분자 전해질 연료전지는 높은 전력밀도와 낮은 작동온도 등으로 인하여 이차전지의 자리를 대체할 수 있을 것으로 보여지지만 현재까지 연료 공급장치의 문제로 인하여 실용화되지 못하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 여러 가지 수소저장 물질 중에서 알칼리 붕소 수소화물을 이용하여 연료전지에 수소를 공급하고자 하며, 수소발생에 사용되는 촉매에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. 알칼리 붕소 수소화물의 수소발생 반응에 사용되는 촉매로는 Pt, Ru, Co, Ni 등이 사용되어질 수 있다. 이중에서 가장 수소발생 능력이 높은 촉매는 Ru이며, 비귀금속 촉매 중에는 Co가 높은 활성을 나타내었다. 본 연구에서는 Ru 촉매와 Co 촉매의 특성을 비교하였으며 연료전지에 수소를 공급할 수 있는 가능성을 확인하였다. Ru와 Co 촉매의 공통적인 특징은 알칼리 붕소화물인 NaBH$_4$의 농도가 높아질수록, 온도가 높아질수록 수소의 발생속도를 높이는 현상을 보였다. 또한 안정화제인 NaOH에 대하여, Ru의 경우는 농도가 높아질수록 수소발생 속도가 낮아졌으며, Co는 그 반대의 결과를 보였다. NaBH$_4$의 분해 반응으로 발생된 수소를 연료전지에 공급하여 2W급의 휴대폰용 연료전지를 구동할 수 있었다. 이로써 알칼리 붕소수소화물로부터 발생된 수소를 이용하여 안정적으로 연료전지를 구동할 수 있는 가능성을 확인하였다. 유류 분해정도를 파악하는 지시자로써 특정 무기 오염물질을 이용할 수 있을 가능성이 있으므로 좀더 이들 관계성에 대한 연구가 진행될 필요성이 있다고 판단된다.고 과학적으로 분석할 수 있는 방법이 될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 의미를 되새기는 것으로 짧은 연구를 시작하겠다. 등은 활성 값이 70% 이상으로 퇴적물 독성이 상대적으로 낮았다. 이중나선 DNA 함량은 28.4 % - 49%로 대조군에 비해서 감소가 크다. 대부분의 정점이 대조군의 30% 내외로 정점 간의 차이는 크지는 않다. 그러나 다른 측정자료와 같이 정점 22에서 18%로 최소치를 나타내고, 정점 2, 12에서 20% 내외의 값을 보인다. 종합적으로 볼 때 오염물질의 유입이 크고, 광양제철 인근 정점 들이 모두 다른 정점에 비해서 낮아서, 퇴적물 독성이 높은 정점으로 조사되었다.hiwo의 광합성 능력은 낮은 농도들에서는 대조구와 유사하였으나, 5 $\mu\textrm{g}$/l의 높은 농도에서는 초기에 매우 낮은 광합성 능력을 보이다가 시간이 경과하면서 대조군보다 더 높은 경향을 나타냈다. 이러한 결과는 식물플랑크톤이 benso[a]pyrene의 낮은 농도에서 노출될 때는 이 물질을 탄소원으로 사용할 가능성이 있음을 시사한다. 본 연구의 결과들은 연안해역에 benso[a]pyrene과 같은 지속성 유기오염물질이 유입되었을 때 내정여부에 따라 식물플랑크톤 군집내 종 천이와 일차생산력에 크게 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 시사한다.TEX>5.2개)였으며, 등급별 회수율은 각각 GI(8.5%), GII(13.4%), GIII(43.9%), GIV(34.2%)로 나타

The studies on the carotenoids in the viscera of abalone (Haliotis discus hannai) have been-carried out. The pigments were extracted with acetone-methanol mixture (4 : 1) from the viscera of abalones which were caught around the coastal water of Korea from March to August. The individual carotenoid in the extracts was separated and purified by the silica gel TLC, $Mg(OH)_2$ impregnated paper chromatography and $Mg_2(OH)_2CO_3$ TLC. The isolated eleven carotenoids were investigated and identified by epoxide test, partition test, reduction with sodium borohydride, alkaline hydrolysis, co-chromatography and comparative test with reference carotenoids and electronic and IR absorption spectrophotometry. ${\alpha}$-Carotene, ${\beta}$-carotene. lutein, zeaxanthin, siponaxanthin, siponein, fucoxanthin, loroxan-thin-like and fucoxanthinol-like have been identified among the eleven carotenoids isolated. It has been found that fucoxanthin, on alkaline treatment, was transformed to the product of which chromophore was the same one as fucochrome and semifucoxanthol. Among the identified nein carotenoids siphonaxanthin, siponein, fucoxanthin, loroxanthin-like and fucoxanthinol-like have not been reported previously to be contained in the shellfish.
