Multilayered CdTe/PSS films were prepared by the electrostatic self-assembly method in an aqueous medium. Positively-charged cadmium telluride (CdTe) nanoparticles and anionic polyelectrolyte, poly (sodium 4-styrene sulfonate) (PSS) were assembled alternately in order to build up a multilayered film structure. A linear proportion of absorbance to the number of bilayers suggests that an equal amount of CdTe was adsorbed after each dipping cycle, which resulted in the buildup of a homogenous film. The binding energies of elements (Cd and Te) in multilayered CdTe/PSS film shifted from those of the CdTe nanoparticles in the pure state. This result indicates that the interfacial electron densities were redistributed by the strong electrostatic interaction between the oppositely-charged CdTe and PSS. Electrochemical properties of the multilayered CdTe/PSS films were studied in detail by cyclic voltammetry (CV).

Objective: To investigate the effect of epirubicin on soluble CD25 (sCD25) secretion by CD4+CD25+ regulatory T (Treg) cells isolated from diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients. Methods: Treg cells were isolated from the peripheral blood mononuclear cells isolated from the newly diagnosed DBLCL patients. The concentration of sCD25 in the supernatant was determined with a commercial sCD25 (IL-2R) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit. The fluorescence intensity of CD25 was detected by flow cytometry. Results: Cell survival rate was significantly decreased along with the increase of epirubicin concentration after treatment for 24 h. There was also a significant difference in the concentration of sCD25 between the epirubicin group and the control group (P<0.01). A positive correlation between the Treg cells survival rate and the concentration of sCD25 was detected (r=0.993, P<0.01). When equal numbers of CD4+CD25+ Treg cells of the epirubicin group and the control group were cultured for another 24 h without epirubicin the CD25 fluorescence intensity on the surface of Treg cells was obviously higher in the epirubicin group than that in the control group (P<0.01), while the sCD25 concentration in the supernatant in the epirubicin group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Epirubicin may improve the body's immune functions by inhibiting the sCD25 secretion by Treg cells in DLBCL patients.

본 연구에서는 천일염, 정제염, 해양심층수염을 사용하여 제조한 절임배추의 냉장저장($0^{\circ}C$) 중 품질변화 및 시판제품과의 품질특성을 비교 조사하였다. pH의 경우 저장기간 전반적으로 S, R, D 구가 CS, CR, CD 구에 비해 높았고, 적정산도는 저장기간 전반적으로 CS, CR, CD 구가 S, R, D 구에 비해 높았다. 수분함량은 저장기간이 경과할수록 삼투압 작용에 의하여 모든 실험군에서 감소하였고, 염도는 S, R, D 구가 2.0~2.6%로 CS, CR, CD 구(0.9~1.8%)에 비해 저장기간 동안 유의적으로 높았다. 총균수 및 유산균수는 CS, CR, CD 구가 저장 1주 이후부터 급격히 증가하여 저장기간 동안 S, R, D 구에 비해 유의적으로 높게 나타나 pH 및 적정산도의 변화에 영향을 주었다. 경도와 씸힘성의 경우 모든 실험군에서 저장기간이 경과함에 따라 감소하였고 저장기간 동안 해양심층수염으로 제조한 절임배추(D)의 경도가 다른 실험군에 비해 유의적으로 높게 나타났다. 유리아미노산 총량은 CD 구가 가장 높았고 D 구가 가장 낮았으며, 필수아미노산의 비율은 소금의 종류에 따른 큰 차이를 보이지 않았지만, 비필수아미노산의 비율은 해양심층수염으로 제조 된 시판제품이 가장 높았다. 유기산 총량은 CD 구가 가장 높았고 해양심층수염으로 제조한 D와 정제염으로 제조한 R 구가 가장 낮았다. 무기질 총함량의 경우에도 CD 구가 실험군 중 가장 높았고, D, S, R, CR, CS 순으로 낮게 나타났다. K와 Mg 함량은 해양심층수염으로 제조한 D 구가 실험군 중 가장 높았고, Na 함량은 CD구가 가장 높았다. 관능적 외관, 산미 및 전체적 기호도는 모든 실험군에서 저장기간이 경과함에 따라 감소하였으나 해양심층수염으로 제조한 절임배추(D)의 외관, 산미 및 전체적 기호도는 저장기간 동안 다른 실험군에 비해 유의적으로 높은 평가를 받았다. 즉, 해양심층수염으로 절임배추를 제조할 경우 천일염이나 정제염으로 절임한 배추에 비해 관능적으로 우수하고 무기질, 유기산 함량이 높은 양질의 절임배추를 제조할 수 있을 것으로 사료되었다.

Recently, ex-vivo gene therapy has emerged as a promising approach to enhance the therapeutic potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) by introducing functional genes in vitro. Here, we explored the need of using selection markers to increase the gene delivery efficiency and evaluated the potential risks associated with their use in the manufacturing process. We used MSCs/CD that carry the cytosine deaminase gene (CD) as a therapeutic gene and a puromycin resistance gene (PuroR) as a selection marker. We evaluated the correlation between the therapeutic efficacy and the purity of therapeutic MSCs/CD by examining their anti-cancer effect on co-cultured U87/GFP cells. To simulate in vivo horizontal transfer of the PuroR gene in vivo, we generated a puromycin-resistant E. coli (E. coli/PuroR) by introducing the PuroR gene and assessed its responsiveness to various antibiotics. We found that the anti-cancer effect of MSCs/CD was directly proportional to their purity, suggesting the crucial role of the PuroR gene in eliminating impure unmodified MSCs and enhancing the purity of MSCs/CD during the manufacturing process. Additionally, we found that clinically available antibiotics were effective in inhibiting the growth of hypothetical microorganism, E. coli/PuroR. In summary, our study highlights the potential benefits of using the PuroR gene as a selection marker to enhance the purity and efficacy of therapeutic cells in MSC-based gene therapy. Furthermore, our study suggests that the potential risk of horizontal transfer of antibiotics resistance genes in vivo can be effectively managed by clinically available antibiotics.

The enantiomeric separation of several amino acid derivatives by reversed-phase liquid chromatography using two (R)-and (S)-naphthylethylcarbamate-β-cyclodextrin(NEC-β-CD) bonded stationary phases was studied to illustrate the chiral recognition model of the enantiomeric separation. The retention and enantioselectivity of the chiral separations with (R)-and (S)-NEC-β-CD bonded phases were compared with similar separations with the native β-CD stationary phases. Especially, the enantioselectivity and elution orders between the derivatized amino acid enantiomers are carefully examined. These results can be illustrated by the chiral recognition models involving inclusion complexation, π-π interaction, and/or hydrophobic interaction. Inclusion complexation and hydrophobic interaction of the naphthyl group of the NEC moiety seem to be major chiral recognition components in the enantiomeric separation of 2,4-dinitrophenyl amino acids and dabsyl amino acids on (R)-and (S)-NEC-β-CD columns. For dansyl amino acids, only the inclusion complexation is the dominant factor. Three different chiral recognition models containing π-π interaction, inclusion complexation and hydrogen bonding were proposed for the separation of the 3,5-dinitrobenzoyl amino acid enantiomers, depending on the size and shape of amino acids.

CdS and $TiO_2$ nanoparticles were made by the precipitation method and sol-gel method, respectively, and they were mixed mechanically and then treated with the hydrothermal processing. CdS-$TiO_2$ composite particulate films were thus prepared by casting CdS-$TiO_2$ mixed sol onto $SnO_2$ conducting glass and a subsequent heat-treatment at $400^{\circ}C$. Again, the physico-chemical and photoelectrochemical properties of these films were controlled by the surface treatment with $TiCl_4$ aqueous solution. The photocurrents and the hydrogen production rates measured under the present experimental conditions varied in the range of $3.5{\sim}4.5mA/cm^2$ and $0.3{\sim}1.8cc/cm^2$-hr, respectively, and showed the maximum values at the $CdS/[CdS+TiO_2]$ mole ratio of 0.2. Also, the surface treatment with $TiCl_4$ aqueous solution caused a considerable improvement in the photocatalytic activity, Probably as a result of close contacts between the primary particles by the etching effect of $TiCl_4$ It was found that the photoelectrochemical performance of these particulate films could be effectively enhanced by this approach.

Three crystal structures of dehydrated Cd(II) and Rb(I) exchanged zeolite A, $Cd_{4.0}Rb_{4.0}-A (a = 12.204(3) {\AA}), Cd_{5.0}Rb_{2.0}-A (a = 12.202(1) {\AA}),$ and $Cd_{5.95}Rb_{0.1}-A (a = 12.250(2) {\AA}),$ have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. Their structures were solved and refined in the cubic space group Pm3m at $21(1)^{\circ}C.$ All crystals were ion exchanged in flowing streams of mixed $Cd(NO_3)_2·4H_2O$ and $RbNO_3$ aqueous solution with total concentration of 0.05 M. All crystals were dehydrated at ca. $450^{\circ}C$ and $2×10^{-6}$ Torr for 2 days. In all of these structures, $Cd^{2+}$ ions are found on threefold axes, each nearly at the center of a 6-oxygen ring. The first three $Rb^+$ ions per unit cell preferentially associate with 8-oxygen rings, and additional $Rb^+$ ions, if present, are found on threefold axes in the large cavity. The final $R_1$ and $R_2$ values for the three structures are 0.087 and 0.079, 0.059 and 0.067, and 0.079 and 0.095, respectively.
