Rapid development in molecular biology and recent advancement in recombinant technology increase identification and commercialization of potential protein drugs. Traditional forms of administrations for the peptide and protein drugs often rely on their parenteral injection, since the bioavailability of these therapeutic agents is poor when administered nonparenterally. Tremendous efforts by numerous investigators in the world have been put to improve protein formulations and as a result, a few successful formulations have been developed including sustained-release human growth hormone. For a promising protein delivery technology, efficacy and safety are the first requirement to meet. However, these systems still require periodic injection and increase the incidence of patient compliance. The development of an oral dosage form that improves the absorption of peptide and especially protein drugs is the most desirable formulation but one of the greatest challenges in the pharmaceutical field. The major barriers to developing oral formulations for peptides and proteins are metabolic enzymes and impermeable mucosal tissues in the intestine. Furthermore, chemical and conformational instability of protein drugs is not a small issue in protein pharmaceuticals. Conventional pharmaceutical approaches to address these barriers, which have been successful with traditional organic drug molecules, have not been effective for peptide and protein formulations. It is likely that effective oral formulations for peptides and proteins will remain highly compound specific. A number of innovative oral drug delivery approaches have been recently developed, including the drug entrapment within small vesicles or their passage through the intestinal paracellular pathway. This review provides a summary of the novel approaches currently in progress in the protein oral delivery followed by factors affecting protein oral absorption.

Development of high strength steel requires proper understanding of hydrogen behavior since the higher the steel strength the greater the susceptibility of hydrogen assisted cracking. This paper provides a brief but broad overview on hydrogen entry and transport behavior of high-strength ferritic steels. First of all, hydrogen absorption, diffusion and trapping mechanism of the steels are briefly introduced. Secondly, several experimental methods for analyzing the physical/chemical nature of hydrogen uptake and transport in the steels are reviewed. Among the methods, electrochemical permeation technique utilized widely for evaluating the hydrogen diffusion and trapping behavior in metals and alloys is mainly discussed. Moreover, a modified permeation technique accommodating the externally applied load and its application to a variety of steels are intensively explored. Indeed, successful utilization of the modified permeation technique equipped with a constant load testing device leads to significant academic progress on the hydrogen assisted cracking (HAC) phenomenon of the steels. In order to show how the external and/or residual stress affects mechanical instability of steel due to hydrogen ingress, the relationship among the microstructure, hydrogen permeation, and HAC susceptibility is briefly introduced.

Due to the latest research trend toward wearable energy devices, transparent and stretchable supercapacitors which can sustain their performance even under physical deformation have steadily attracted huge attention. Despite the Ag NW is the most promising candidate for fabrication of transparent and stretchable electronics, the electrochemical instability interrupts its application to development of the energy device. Here, we introduce a transparent and highly stretchable supercapacitor made by Au-Ag core shell NW network percolation electrode. The Au-Ag core shell NW synthesized by a simple solution process not only shows excellent electrical conductivity but also greatly enhanced chemical and electrochemical stability compare to pristine Ag NW. These outstanding properties of the Au-Ag core shell NW are attributed both to the core Ag NW and the Au protecting sheath layer. The proposed Au-Ag core shell NW based supercapacitor exhibits optical transmittance with outstanding mechanical stability withstanding 60% strain without any decrease of the performance. The supercapacitors connected in series are charged and discharged stable in 30% strain turning on a red LED. These notable results demonstrate the potential of the Au-Ag core shell NW as a strong candidate for development of wearable energy devices.

액체산소/케로신 액체로켓엔진에서 케로신은 추진제일 뿐만 아니라 3,000 K 이상의 연소가스로부터 연소실 벽면을 보호하기 위한 냉각제 역할도 수행한다. 케로신은 냉각채널을 통과하면서 높은 온도에 노출되기 때문에 열과 관련한 화학반응이 일어나 탄소 과잉 고체가 침전되는 현상이 발생할 수 있다. 이러한 케로신의 열/유체 특성 시험 데이터는 재생냉각 연소실 설계에 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 재생냉각채널과 케로신에 관련된 해외 연구를 조사하였다. 탄화수소 연료에 대한 전반적인 정보를 시작으로, 냉각채널 벽면에 발생하는 퇴적 현상, 이에 대한 원인/연구결과, 케로신 코킹 시험 장치/예방 방법 등을 체계적으로 정리하고자 하였다.

Objective : To mitigate the risk of iatrogenic instability, new posterior decompression techniques able to preserve musculoskeletal structures have been introduced but never extensively investigated from a biomechanical point of view. This study was aimed to investigate the impact on spinal flexibility caused by a unilateral laminotomy for bilateral decompression, in comparison to the intact condition and a laminectomy with preservation of a bony bridge at the vertebral arch. Secondary aims were to investigate the biomechanical effects of two-level decompression and the quantification of the restoration of stability after posterior fixation. Methods : A universal spine tester was used to measure the flexibility of six L2-L5 human spine specimens in intact conditions and after decompression and fixation surgeries. An incremental damage protocol was applied : 1) unilateral laminotomy for bilateral decompression at L3-L4; 2) on three specimens, the unilateral laminotomy was extended to L4-L5; 3) laminectomy with preservation of a bony bridge at the vertebral arch (at L3-L4 in the first three specimens and at L4-L5 in the rest); and 4) pedicle screw fixation at the involved levels. Results : Unilateral laminotomy for bilateral decompression had a minor influence on the lumbar flexibility. In flexion-extension, the median range of motion increased by 8%. The bone-preserving laminectomy did not cause major changes in spinal flexibility. Two-level decompression approximately induced a twofold destabilization compared to the single-level treatment, with greater effect on the lower level. Posterior fixation reduced the flexibility to values lower than in the intact conditions in all cases. Conclusion : In vitro testing of human lumbar specimens revealed that unilateral laminotomy for bilateral decompression and bone-preserving laminectomy induced a minor destabilization at the operated level. In absence of other pathological factors (e.g., clinical instability, spondylolisthesis), both techniques appear to be safe from a biomechanical point of view.

본 연구에서는 coconut oil과 Tween-Span계 혼합계면활성제를 사용하여 O/W 유화액을 제조하고 유화안정성을 향상시키기 위한 유화조건을 최적화하였다. 이를 위해 최적화과정은 CCD-RSM (central composite design model-response surface methodology)를 이용하였다. 계량인자로는 HLB (hydrophile-lipophilie balance) value, 혼합계면활성제 첨가량, 유화속도 등을 설정하였으며, 반응치로는 평균액적크기(MDS), 유화액의 유화안정도지수(ESI), 열적 불안정도지수(TII)를 설정하였다. CCD-RSM 분석결과 3가지 반응치를 동시에 만족하는 최적조건으로 HLB value (9.1), 혼합계면활성제 첨가량(8.7 wt.%), 유화속도(6,200.8 rpm)로 산출되었으며, CCD-RSM 분석예상값은 MDS (151.0 nm), 유화액의 ESI (99.86%), TII (3.17%)로 나타났다. 이 조건에서의 실제실험 결과 오차율은 3.5% 이하로 나타나 본 연구에서의 O/W 유화액 제조과정에 CCD-RSM 최적화 분석을 적용할 경우 비교적 높은 유의수준의 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

국내에서 최초로 합성, 개발된 유기인계 살충제인 flupyrazofos(KH-502)의 물리화학적 특성으로 수용성, 가수분해, 증기압, 분배계수를 EPA와 OECD 방법에 준하여 측정하였다. 수용성은 $25^{\circ}C$에서 0.80 ppm으로 낮았고 가수분해 반감기는 $25^{\circ}C$에서 266.5시간(pH 4.0), 180.0시간(pH 7.0), 120.9시간(pH 9.0)으로 알칼리 조건에서 불안정하였으며 $40^{\circ}C$에서는 $25^{\circ}C$보다 $2{\sim}4$배 정도 가수분해가 빠르게 진행되었다. 상은($25^{\circ}C$)에서의 증기압은 $2.81{\times}10^{-5}$ torr로 측정되었고, 다른 두 온도(35, $45^{\circ}C$)에서 증기압을 측정하여 log P=0.673-(1565.4/T)라는 관계식을 구하였다. Flupyrazofos의 상온($25^{\circ}C$)에서의 증기압은 diazinon과 유사한 수준이었고, DDVP보다는 약 1,000배 정도 낮은 수치로 휘발에 의하여 환경에 영향을 미칠 가능성은 낮을 것으로 판단되었다. Flupyrazofos의 옥탄올/물 분배계수치를 보면(log Kow=5.24) 먹이연쇄를 통한 생물농축이 예상되나 비교적 가수분해가 빠르기 때문에 비록 수계에 노출된다고 하여도 그 가능성은 매우 낮을 것으로 사료된다.

Nanofiltration (NF) is a recently introduced term in membrane separation. In 1988, Eriksson was one of the first authors using the word 'nanofiltration' explicitly. Some years before, FilmTech started to use this term for their NF50 membrane which was supposed to be a very loose reverse osmosis membrane or a very tight ultrafiltration membrane. Since then, this term has been introduced to indicate a specific boundary of membrane technology in between ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis. The application fields of the NF membranes are very broad as follows: Demeneralizing water, Cleaning up contaminated groundwater, Ultrapure water production, Treatment of effleunts containing heavy metals, Offshore oil platforms, Yeast production, Pulp and paper mills, Textile production, Electroless copper plating, Cheese whey production, Cyclodextrin production, Lactose production. The earliest NF membrane was made by Cadotte et al, using piperazine and trimesoyl chloride as monomers for the formation of polyamide active layer of the composite type membrane. They coated very thin interfacially potymerized polyamide on the surface of the microporous polysulfone supports. The NF membrane exhibited low rejections for monovalent anions (chloride) and high rejections for bivalent anions (sulphate). This membrane was called NS300. Some of the earliest NF membranes, like the NF40 membrane of FilmTech, the NTR7250 of Nitto-Denko and the UTC20 and UTC60 of Toray, are formed by a comparable synthesis route as the NS300 membrane. Commercially available NF membranes nowadays are as follows: ASP35 (Advanced Membrane Technology), MPF21; MPF32 (Kiryat Weizmann), UTC20; UTC60; UTC70; UTC90 (Toray), CTA-LP; TFCS (Fluid Systems), NF45; NF70 (FilmTec), BQ01; MX07; HG01; HG19; SX01; SX10 (Osmonics), 8040-LSY-PVDI (Hydranautics), NF CA30; NF PES 10 (Hoechst), WFN0505 (Stork Friesland). The typical ones among the commercially available NF membranes are polyamide composite membrane consisting of interfacially polymerized polyamide active layer and microporous support. While showing high water fluxes and high rejections of multivalent ions and small organic molecules, these membranes have relatively low chemical stability. These membranes have low chlorine tolerance and are unstable in acid or base solution. This chemical instability is appearing to be a big obstacle for their applications. To improve the chemical stability, we have tried, in this study, to prepare chemically stable NF membranes from PVA. The ionomers and interfacially polymerized polyamide were used for the modification of'the PVA membranes. For the detail study of the active layer, homogeneous NF membranes made only from active layer materials were prepared and for the high performance, composite type NF membranes were prepared by coating the active layer materials on microporous polysulfone supports.
