본 연구에서는 다공성 탄소 전극의 음극과 양극 표면에 각각 양이온교환고분자(Nafion)와 음이온교환고분자(aminated polyphenylene oxide, APPO)를 코팅하여 막 결합형 축전식 탈염(membrane capacitive deionization, MCDI) 공정에 적용하였다. 또한 위 공정의 성능을 탄소 전극만으로 구성한 축전식 탈염(capacitive deionization, CDI) 공정과 비교 평가해 보고 염 제거 효율이 최대로 나타나는 MCDI 공정의 최적 운전 조건을 탐색하고자 하였다. 염 제거 효율은 MCDI 공정이 CDI 공정에 비해 높게 나타났으며 Nafion과 APPO를 적용한 MCDI 공정에서 흡착 조건이 1.2 V, 3 min이고 탈착 조건이 -1.0 V, 1 min 일 때의 염 제거 효율이 82.1%로 최댓값을 보임을 확인했다.

화학에너지를 전기에너지로 전환하는 친환경 에너지 자원으로 각광받는 연료전지에서 고분자 전해질 연료전지(proton exchange membrane fuel cell, PEMFC)의 비싼 백금촉매 사용, 고온가습조건에서의 전도도 감소 등의 문제로 음이온교환연료전지(anion exchange membrane fuel cell, AEMFC)가 주목을 받고 있다. 음이온교환연료전지는 비백금계 촉매를 사용하고 산소환원반응의 활성화 에너지가 낮아 효율이 더 우수한 장점이 있다. 하지만, 이산화탄소에 노출되어 전극손상, 이온전도도 감소 등의 문제점을 포함하여 여러 가지 해결해야 할 문제점이 있다. 따라서, 본 미니총설은 음이온 교환연료전지의 다양한 문제점을 여러 연구논문을 통해서 해결방안을 제시하고자 한다.

우리나라 연안에 주로 발생되는 적조인 Cochlodinium polykrikoides를 빠르고 정밀한 생화학적인 방법으로 측정하기 위한 일종의 maker로서 C. polykrikoides의 세포막에 존재하는 특이 항원성을 가진 막 단백질을 분리하였다. 먼저, C. polykrikoides와 gymnodium sangineum의 세포를 삼투압으로 터뜨린 후 원심분리하여 세포막을 모았다. 그 후 양 적조생물의 세포막은 1 mM DTT가 함유된 50 mM Na-carbonate로 용해하고 SDS-PAGE행하여 용해된 막 단백질을 분리하였다. SDS-PAGE로 분리된 막 단백질은 C. polykrikoides의 세포 막 단백질로 제조한 항혈청을 사용하여 immune-blot한 결과 C. polykrikoides의 120 kDa의 단백질이 G. sangineum의 동일한 크기의 막 단백질과는 서로 다른 항원성을 나타내었다.

Chemical durability issue in polymer electrolyte membranes has been a challenge for the commercialization of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). In this study, we proposed a manufacturing method of Nafion composite membrane containing a stable polyimide antioxidant to improve the chemical durability of the membrane. The thermal casting of the Nafion solution with poly (amic acid) induced polyimide reaction. We evaluated proton conductivity, oxidative stability with ex-situ Fenton's test, and fluoride ion emission to analyze the effect of polyimide antioxidants. We confirmed that incorporating the polyimide antioxidant improves the chemical durability of the Nafion membrane while maintaining inherent proton conductivity.

본 논문에서는 고에너지 엑스선(6 MV X선)을 조사한 갑상선의 소포세포막 모델에서 막의 두께차이, 고정전달자[VP-AN% (w/ w)]의 농도차이, OH-이온의 농도차이가 세포내부와 세포외부사이로 갑상선호르몬의 구성성분인 요오드이온의 농도차이로 발생하고 갑상선호르몬의 생성량에 영향을 미치는데 이러한 영향을 구명하기위해서 소포의 세포막을 통한 요오드의 선택적 투과전달 특성에 대하여 연구하였다. 이 실험에 사용한 세포막 모델은 피리딘 양이온을 고정전달자로 한 poly(4-vinylpyridine- co-acrylonitrile :VP-AN)분말을 인장강도의 강화용인 polysulfone과 결합시킨 불균질의 복합막을 사용하였다. 고정전달자[VP-AN% (w/ w)]의 농도차이(0~62 %)에서 36.5 ℃로 방사선을 조사한 소포의 고분자 막(세포막모델)은 형태학적 변화인 인장강도가 비 조사된 세포막모델보다 약 1.2 ~ 1.8배 정도 감소되었다. 방사선을 조사한 갑상선의 소포세포막모델 [2mole AN%(w/w)]에서 막의 두께차이, 고정전달자[VP-AN% (w/ w)]의 농도차이, OH-이온의 농도 차이로 발생하는 요오드이온의 선택적 투과플럭스는 비 조사된 세포막모델보다 막의 두께가 변화 할 때 각각 약 2.1 ~ 4.5배, 약 2.2 ~ 2.5배, 약 2.1 ~ 2.67배 정도 감소되었다. 결국 방사선조사로 인해서 갑상선의 소포세포막에서 요오드이온의 선택적 투과 전달기능이 비정상적으로 되어 세포장해가 발생하고 갑상선호르몬의 생성량 감소도 동반하게 되었다고 사료됐다.

Rat renal proximal tubule suspension was prepared from adult male Sprague Dawley rat (250-300g) by mechanical (non-enzymatical) method and evaluated as a pontential model for mechanistic studies and early screening of nephrotoxicity, using anionic antibiotics (cephaloridine). Cephaloridine (CPL) produced an increase in LDH release into media. This release results from decrease a proximal tubule cell viability and subsequently increase the permeability of cell viability and subsequently increase the permeability of cell membrane. Since loss of intracellular potassium and ATP into media is the sign of disruption of cell membrane, especially basolateral membrane (BLM), CPL induced proximal tubule cell compromise also appear be associated with BLM, maybe $Na^+-K^+$ ATPase. Also seen was significant depression in brush border membrane (BBM) ALP activity and no significantly increase in BBM GGT activities. The inhibition of typical anion, PAH accumulation (especially, CPL 5 mM) and cation, TEA (especially, 4hours incubation) were seen dose dependently. This is because of CPL accumulation in renal proximal tubule and increase of cytotoxicity.

The release of nanoscale membrane-bound vesicles is common in all three domains of life. These vesicles are involved in a variety of biological processes such as cell-to-cell communication, horizontal gene transfer, and substrate transport. Prokaryotes including bacteria and archaea release membrane vesicles (MVs) (20 to 400 nm in diameter) into their extracellular milieu. In spite of structural differences in cell envelope, both Gram-positive and negative bacteria produce MVs that contain the cell membrane of each bacterial species. Archaeal MVs characteristically show surface-layer encircling the vesicles. Filamentous fungi and yeasts as eukaryotic microbes produce bilayered exosomes that have varying electron density. Microbes also form intracellular vesicles and minicells that are similar to MVs and exosomes in shape. Electron and fluorescence microscopy could reveal the presence of DNA in MVs and exosomes. Given the biogenesis of extracellular vesicles from the donor cell, in situ high-resolution microscopy can provide insights on the structural mechanisms underlying the formation and release of microbial extracellular vesicles.

In this study, the stability of an anion exchange membrane water electrolyzer (AEMWE) cell was evaluated in an on-off cycling operation with respect to an applied electric bias, i.e., a current density of 500 mA cm^-2, and an open circuit. The ohmic and polarization resistances of the system were monitored during operation (~800 h) using electrochemical impedance spectra. Specific consideration was given to the ohmic resistance of the cell, especially that of the membrane under on-off cycling conditions, by consistently feeding the cell with KOH solution. Owing to an excess feed solution, a momentary increase in the polarization resistance was observed immediately after the open-circuit. The excess feed solution was mostly recovered by subjecting the cell to the applied electric bias. Stability tests on the AEMWE cell under on-off cycling with continuous feeding even under an open circuit can guarantee long-term stability by avoiding an irreversible increase in ohmic and polarization resistances.

To investigate the postmortem changes in hepatic cell membrane, the rats were sacrificed with cervical dislocation and kept in an incubator at $25^{\circ}C$, 70% of humidity for 12 hours. The biochemical experiments in postmortem were done at 2, 4, 8 and 12 hours. The degree of rigor mortis and algor mortis were increased with the time during 12 hours. The contents of hepatic malondialdehyde were rapidly increased ai 2 hours, and gradually decreased afterward. In histological findings, after 8 hours, the clotted blood was seen in central vein and sinusoids, and especially portal veins were dilated a1though the structure of hepatic lobules was preserved well. Furthermore, both in the histochemical and enzymatic examinations, membrane bounding alkaline phosphatase activities were gradually decreased with the time. In conclusion, the activity of membrane bounding alkaline phosphatase was linearly decreased with time in the early postmortem period and so it might be referred to the possibility fur the estimation of death time in the early postmortem period.

The effects of different light quality on the change of membrane potential difference (PD) of the guard cell in the intact leaf have been investigated. The mombrane PD was about -5.5 mV by white light of 600 $\mu$moles $m^{-2}\; s^{-1}$. The mean PD of change caused by red light was about -5.2 mV at the light intensity of 80 $\mu$moles $m^{-2}\; s^{-1}$. Membrane PD of guard cells in response to blue light was saturated at low light intensity. However, red and green light enhanced the change of membrane PD of guard cells with increasing intensity. In green light the biggest change of memrane PD was around -4 mV, whereas, with blue light the change of of memrane PD was around -2 mV. Accordingly, the membrane PD of guard cell showed the different degree of hyper-polarization by each wavelength.
