This study was designed to analyze the chemical composition of essential oil in 'Shiranuhi' immature fruit and to test their biological activities. 'Shiranuhi' immature essential oils (SIEO) were obtained by steam distillation from fruits collected from Jeju Island and were analyzed using gas chromatograph (GC)-flame ionization detectors (FID) and GC-MS. Fourteen components were identified in the essential oil. Limonene (75.21%) and terpineol (8.68%) were the major components in SIEO. Since acne vulgaris is the combined result of a bacterial infection and the inflammatory response to that infection, we examined whether SIEO possessed antibacterial against skin pathogens. As a result, SIEO showed excellent antibacterial activities against drug-susceptible and -resistant Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus epidermidis, which are acne-causing bacteria. In this study, SIEO was examined on DPPH radical scavenging activities, which showed moderate antioxidant activity ($SC_{50}$, $15.36{\mu}L/mL$). In order to determined whether SIEO can be safely applied to human skin, the cytotoxicity effects of SIEO were determined by colorimetric MTT assays in normal human fibroblasts and keratinocyte HaCaT cells. They exhibited low cytotoxicity at $0.5{\mu}L/mL$ in both celllines. Based on these results, we suggest the possibility that essential oil of 'Shiranuhi' maybe considered as an antibacterial and antioxidant agent.

본 고에서는 최근 재료분석에 활발히 응용되고 있는 EELS 분석장비의 원리와 응용 분야 등에 대해 검토하였다. EELS를 이용하여 수행할 수 있는 주요 응용분야로는 원소의 정성 및 정량분석, 원소 및 화학 맴핑, 화학물의 결함구조를 알 수 있는 전자구조(DOS)에 대한 힌트 등이 있으며, 점차 재료의 근본 적인 성질을 추출할 수 강력한 분석기가 되고 있다. 또한 원소를 분석하고 맹핑하는데 걸리는 시간이 수초에서 수분 이하의 시간으로 매우 짧아 전자빔에 의한 재료의 손상을 최소화시킬 수 있는 장점을 갖고 있다. 특히 나노미터 영역의 분말의 경우 원소의 분포가 불균일하고 전자빔에 의하여 쉽게 변형되는 재료 분석에 매우 유용하다. 향후 TEM의 발달과 함께 EELS는 국부적인 영역에서 가장 다양하고 유용한 정보를 추출할 수 있는 분석기로 자리매김할 것으로 기대된다.

A fluid model of 2D axis-symmetry based on inductively coupled plasma (ICP) reactor using $N_2/NH_3/SiH_4$ gas mixture has been developed for hydrogenated silicon nitride ($SiN_x:H$) deposition. The model was comprised of 62 species (electron, neutral, ions, and excitation species), 218 chemical reactions, and 45 surface reactions. The pressure (10~40 mTorr) and gas mixture ratio ($N_2$ 80~96 %, $NH_3$ 2~10 %, $SiH_4$ 2~10 %) were considered simulation variables and the input power fixed at 1000 W. Different distributions of electron, ions, and molecules density were observed with pressure. Although ionization rate of $SiH_2{^+}$ is higher than $SiH_3{^+}$ by electron direct reaction with $SiH_4$, the number density of $SiH_3{^+}$ is higher than $SiH_2{^+}$ in over 30 mTorr. Also, number density of $NH^+$ and $NH_4{^+}$ dramatically increased by pressure increase because these species are dominantly generated by gas phase reactions. The change of gas mixture ratio not affected electron density and temperature. With $NH_3$ and $SiH_4$ gases ratio increased, $SiH_x$ and $NH_x$ (except $NH^+$ and $NH_4{^+}$) ions and molecules are linearly increased. Number density of amino-silane molecules ($SiH_x(NH_2)_y$) were detected higher in conditions of high $SiH_x$ and $NH_x$ molecules density.

Halogenated organic compounds, such as 1-bromobutane (1-BB), have been used as cleaning agents, agents for chemical syntheses or extraction solvents in workplace. In the present study, immunotoxic effects of 1-BB and its conjugation with glutathione (GSH) were investigated in female BALB/c mice. Animals were treated orally with 1-BB at 375, 750 and 1500 mg/kg in corn oil once for dose response or treated orally with 1-BB at 1500 mg/kg for 6, 12, 24 and 48 hr for time course. S-Butyl GSH was identified in spleen by liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry. Splenic GSH levels were significantly reduced by single treatment with 1-BB. S-Butyl GSH conjugates were detected in spleen from 6 hr after treatment. Oral 1-BB significantly suppressed the antibody response to a T-dependent antigen and the production of splenic intracellular interlukin-2 in response to Con A. Our present results suggest that 1-BB could cause immunotoxicity as well as reduction of splenic GSH content, due to the formation of GSH conjugates in mice. The present results would be useful to understand molecular toxic mechanism of low molecular weight haloalkanes and to develop biological markers for exposure to haloalkanes.

Background: The structural conversions in ginsenosides induced by steaming or heating or acidic condition could improve red ginseng bioactivities significantly. In this paper, the chemical transformations of red American ginseng from fresh Panax quinquefolium L. under steaming were investigated, and the possible mechanisms were discussed. Methods: A method with reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with linear ion trap mass spectrometry ($HPLC-MS^n$)-equipped electrospray ionization ion source was developed for structural analysis and quantitation of ginsenosides in dried and red American ginseng. Results: In total, 59 ginsenosides of protopanaxadiol, protopanaxatriol, oleanane, and ocotillol types were identified in American ginseng before and after steaming process by matching the molecular weight and/or comparing $MS^n$ fragmentation with that of standards and/or known published compounds, and some of them were determined to be disappeared or newly generated under different steaming time and temperature. The specific fragments of each aglycone-type ginsenosides were determined as well as aglycone hydrated and dehydrated ones. The mechanisms were deduced as hydrolysis, hydration, dehydration, and isomerization of neutral and acidic ginsenosides. Furthermore, the relative peak areas of detected compounds were calculated based on peak areas ratio. Conclusion: The multicomponent assessment of American ginseng was conducted by $HPLC-MS^n$. The result is expected to provide possibility for holistic evaluation of the processing procedures of red American ginseng and a scientific basis for the usage of American ginseng in prescription.

음이온기를 갖는 카보네이트형 폴리우레탄을 NCO-말단 프레폴리머법으로 제조하여 이를 제막하고 에탄올수용액분리 성능을 검토하였다. 우레탄수지의 물성을 향상시키기 위해 카보네이트형 폴리올(PTMCG)을 사용하였고, 친수성 향상에는 사슬연장제로 ${\alpha}^{\prime},{\alpha}^{{\prime}{\prime}}$-dimethylpropionic acid를 이용하였으며, trimethylamine으로 우레탄 사슬내의 카르복실기를 이온화시켰다. 우레탄 사슬내의 음이온기 형성을 확인하기 위해 모델반응을 실시하여 IR 분광분석을 행하였으며, 합성한 우레탄수지의 IR 스펙트럼과 비교하였다. 사슬연장제와 폴리올의 반응몰비율이 3:1에서 5:1인 범위에서는 hard segment의 농도, 수소결합 등이 우레탄수지의 물성을 기여하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. DSC에 의한 열분석결과 카르복실기를 함유한 카보네이트형 폴리우레탄수지(PU)는 $Tg-25^{\circ}C$ 및 Tm $45^{\circ}C$의 값을 갖는 것으로 나타났으며, 이를 이온화하여 사슬내에 음이온성기를 갖게한 카보네이트형 폴리우레탄수지(APU)의 경우 PU 수지보다 $8{\sim}10^{\circ}C$ 정도씩 낮은 온도 영역으로 전이되는 경향을 나타내었다. PU 및 APU 수지를 용매로 N, N-dimethylformamide(DMF), 가교제로 hexamethylene diisocyanate(HMDI)를 사용하여 캐스팅법으로 투과증발막을 제조하였다. 팽윤도 측정결과 혼합물중 에탄올농도에 따라 증가하는 경향을 나타내었고, 가교를 통하여 막의 팽윤도를 조절하였으며, 이를 투과증발에 응용한 결과 선택도 2.3~9.8, 투과유량 $27{\sim}79.5g/m^2hr$를 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 폴리올의 분자량을 2,000에서 1,000으로 줄임으로 분리성능을 향상시킬 수 있었다.

GC-OTC/FID(Gas chromatography-Open Tubular Column/Flame Ionization Detector) 계에서 극성 용매(Alcohols)를 분리 하기 위하여 DMSO(Dimethyl sulfoxide)를 사용하였다. 이 계에서는 극성 용매들 보다 DMSO가 늦게 용출이 된다. 이런 계에서 크로마토그래픽 인자인 조정된 머무름 시간($t_R^{\prime}=t_R-t_O$)과 용량 인자{$k^{\prime}=(t_R-t_O)/t_O$} 및 분리 인자{${\alpha}=(t_{R2}-t_O)/(t_{R1}-t_O)$}를 구하기 위하여 불감시간($t_O$)이 필요하다. 그러나 이런 계에서 $t_O$ 를 구하기 위한 보고가 현재까지 된 바가 없기 때문에, 본 연구에서는 $t_O$ 를 구하는 방법을 개발하고자 하였다. $t_O$ 를 계산하기 위하여 DMSO의 머무름 시간($DMSO\;t_R$)을 상용로그로 전환하였다($f(x)={\log}\;t_{R(DMSO)}{\rightarrow}t_O$, $t_O={\log}$ 9.551=0.980). 개발된 방법의 적합 여부를 확인하기 위하여 $CH_4$의 $t_R$과 ${\ln}\;t_{R(DMSO)}$를 ${\log}\;t_{R(DMSO)}$와 비교하였다. 세 가지 방법 중 $CH_4\;t_R$과 ${\ln}\;t_{R(DMSO)}$는 k' 과 ${\alpha}$를 계산하는데 적합하지 않았다. 본 연구에서 개발한 방법인 ${\log}\;t_{R(DMSO)}$는 일반적인 기준인 k'(1${\alpha}(1<{\alpha}<2)$를 만족하였다. 본 연구에서 개발한 계산방법은 쉽고 편리하기 때문에, 이와 유사한 계에서도 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

A sensitive and selective method for quantitation of sofalcone and its active metabolite in human plasma has been established using liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI/MS/MS). Plasma samples were transferred into 96-well plate using an automated sample handling system and spiked with 10 $\mu$L of 2 $\mu$g/mL $d_3$-sofalcone and $d_3$-sofalcone metabolite solutions (internal standard), respectively. After adding 0.5 mL of acetonitrile to the 96-well plate, the plasma samples were then vortexed for 30 sec. After centrifugation, the supernatant was transferred into another 96-well plate and completely evaporated at 40 ${^{\circ}C}$ under a stream of nitrogen. Dry residues were reconstituted with mobile phase and were injected into a $C_{18}$ reversed-phase column. The limit of quantitation of sofalcone and its metabolite was 2 ng/mL, using a sample volume of 0.2 mL for analysis. The reproducibility of the method was evaluated by analyzing 10 replicates over the concentration range of 2 ng/mL to 1000 ng/mL. The validation experiments of the method have shown that the assay has good precision and accuracy. Sofalcone and its metabolite produced a protonated precursor ion ([M+H]$^+$) of m/z 451 and 453, and a corresponding product ion of m/z 315 and 317, respectively. Internal standard ($d_3$-sofalcone and $d_3$-sofalcone metabolite) produced a protonated precursor ion ([M+H]$^+$) of m/z 454 and 456 and a corresponding product ion of m/z 315 and 317, respectively. The method has been successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study of sofalcone and its active metabolite in human plasma.

Polycrystalline silicon films were deposited using hot wire CVD (HWCVD). The deposition of silicon thin films was approached by the theory of charged clusters (TCC). The TCC states that thin films grow by self-assembly of charged clusters or nanoparticles that have nucleated in the gas phase during the normal thin film process. Negatively charged clusters of a few nanometer in size were captured on a transmission electron microscopy (TEM) grid and observed by TEM. The negatively charged clusters are believed to have been generated by ion-induced nucleation on negative ions, which are produced by negative surface ionization on a tungsten hot wire. The electric current on the substrate carried by the negatively charged clusters during deposition was measured to be approximately $-2{\mu}A/cm^2$. Silicon thin films were deposited at different $SiH_4$ and $H_2$ gas mixtures and filament temperatures. The crystalline volume fraction, grain size and the growth rate of the films were measured by Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The deposit ion behavior of the si1icon thin films was related to properties of the charged clusters, which were in turn controlled by the process conditions. In order to verify the effect of the charged clusters on the growth behavior, three different electric biases of -200 V, 0 V and +25 V were applied to the substrate during the process, The deposition rate at an applied bias of +25 V was greater than that at 0 V and -200 V, which means that the si1icon film deposition was the result of the deposit ion of charged clusters generated in the gas phase. The working pressures had a large effect on the growth rate dependency on the bias appled to the substrate, which indicates that pressure affects the charging ratio of neutral to negatively charged clusters. These results suggest that polycrystalline silicon thin films with high crystalline volume fraction and large grain size can be produced by control1ing the behavior of the charged clusters generated in the gas phase of a normal HWCVD reactor.
