It has been proposed that oxidative modification of LDL (oxLDL) plays a significant role in the pathogenicity of atherogenesis. We tested the hypothesis that chitin and chitosan may function as antioxidants with respect to 0.1 mg cholesterol/ml LDL incubated with 5 $\mu$ M Cu$^2$$^{+}$alone or in the P338Dl mouse macrophage system using L-ascorbic acid as a standard classical antioxidant. The degree of oxLDL formation was ascertained by the relative electrophoretic mobility (rEM) in the combination of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) levels, and the cytotoxicity of oxLDL was detected by macrophage viability. The oxLDL uptake and foam cell formation of macrophages were measured by Oil Red O staining. Incubation with Cu$^2$$^{+}$and macrophages increased rEM of LDL and stimulated TBARS formation. Culture of macrophages with LDL in the presence 5 $\mu$ M Cu$^2$$^{+}$induced macrophage death. In cell-free system 200 $\mu$g/ml water-soluble chitosan and chitosan-oligosaccharide blocked oxLDL formation. Water-soluble chitosan and chitosan-oligosaccharide blocked oxLDL formation near-completely relative to L-ascorbic acid, whereas water-soluble chitin and chitin-oligosaccharide had no measurable antioxidant effect. In macrophage system water-soluble chitosan and chitosan-oligosaccharide blocked oxidation of LDL with a significant increase in cell viability, and decreased TBARS in medium. As for the inhibitory effect on macrophage foam cell formation, chitosan and its oligosaccharide, but not watersoluble chitin, revealed the effectiveness. The endothelial expression of lectin-like oxLDL receptor-1 (LOX-1) was tested by Western blot analysis, and chitosan, chitosan-oligosaccharide and chitin-oligosaccharide blocked LOX-1 expression. These results indicate that water-soluble chitosan and its oligosaccharide showed the inhibitory effect on Cu$^2$$^{+}$-induced LDL oxidation of macrophages, and chitosan, chitosan-oligosaccharide and chitin-oligosaccharide had blocking effect on oxLDL receptor expression in the human umbilical vein endothelial system. Thus, water-soluble chitosan and its oligosaccharides possess anti-atherogenic potentials possibly through the inhibition of macrophage LDL oxidation or endothelial oxLDL receptor expression depending on chemical types.l types.

다양한 비율의 Pt와 Bi를 carbon black (Vulcan XC-72R)에 담지시킨 Pt-Bi/C 촉매를 환원법을 이용하여 합성하였다. Pt와 Bi의 전구체로는 염화백금산($H_2PtCl_6{\cdot}xH_2O$)과 비스무스트리질산($Bi(NO_3)_3{\cdot}5H_2O$) 수용액을 각각 사용하였으며, 금속을 carbon에 담지하기 전, 금속물질의 분산도를 높여주기 위해 열처리와 산처리를 수행한 carbon black을 사용하였다. XRD (X-ray Diffraction) 분석과 XPS (X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy) 분석을 통하여 Pt-Bi/C 촉매 내에 Pt와 Bi가 소성시키기 전에는 BiPt 혹은 $Bi_2Pt$로 존재하지만 $500^{\circ}C}$에서 소성을 한 후에는 Pt 격자구조 안으로 Bi가 침투하여 alloy을 형성하는 것을 확인하였다. 합성한 전극의 메탄올 산화반응은 전기화학분석장치(Potentiostat; Princeton applied research, VSP)를 사용하여 0.5 M $CH_3OH$와 0.5 M $H_2SO_4$의 혼합수용액에서 순환전압법(cyclic voltammetry, CV)을 이용해 측정하였다. 메탄올 산화에 대한 전기화학적 촉매 활성을 평가한 결과 적절한 양의 Bi를 첨가한 경우, 메탄올 산화반응에 대한 높은 촉매활성을 나타냄을 확인하였다. 메탄올 산화에 대한 활성은 전극과 전해질 사이의 안정성과 밀접한 관련이 있다. 정전압법(Chronoamperometry, CA)을 이용하여 전극의 안정성을 평가한 결과 메탄올 산화반응에 높은 활성을 나타내는 촉매일수록 전극의 안정성도 높은 것을 확인하였다.

This study was carried out to improve the skin care property of the polyester fabric by finishing with sericin. It was known that skin care function, anti-oxidation, anti-tyrosinase activity and anti-elastase activity can be achieved from sericin finish. But, the moisture regain of the finished fabric was measured simply, because the major cause of the discomfort from polyester fabric has been anounced to be wetness. The effects of various treatment conditions on the properties of the finished fabric were measured, and obtained results were as follows: 1. The moisture regain at 40$^{\circ}C$ 90% RH were increased with the sericin uptake increasing. while it was not significant for the effects on the moisture regain depending on the treatment conditions like the degree of polymerization and treatment concentration of the binder. The moisture release of the fabric having sericin uptake 1%, 2% was faster than non treated fabric. The change of the moisture regain of the finished fabric from 40$^{\circ}C$ 90% RH to room temperature was 4∼5 times higher than that of knitted cotton fabric. 2. The frictional static charge was decreased with the degree of polymerization of the binder increasing. While the sericin uptake and treatment concentration of the binder were not significant. 3. The whiteness value of the fabric was slightly decreased by finishing with sericin and binder. In that cases, W values of the finished fabrics were above 90 while that depending on the degree of polymerization of the binder was not significant. 4. The major cause of the yellowness of the finished fabric was proved to be catalyst. The yellowness of the finished fabric with sulfur containing catalyst was lower than that with amine group containing catalyst. 5. The effects of the treatment concentrations of the cross-linking agent, catalyst and drying time on the wash durability were not significant.

Since the role of lignin in the wood cell wall is to keep integrity and structure rigidity of lignocellulosic substrate, lignin of the cell wall has to be destroyed before enzymatic hydrolysis of wood polysaccharides. The aspen wood meals were delignified with ozone in acidic condition. The chemical characteristics of wood meal were investigated. The 60% of lignin and almost zero % of polysaccharides in aspen wood meal was degraded with 10min. ozone treatment. The phenolic hydroxyl groups of lignin in ozonated wood meal were increased with ozonation time. The sugar composition of ozonated wood meal showed that the hemicellulose was more susceptible to ozonation than cellulose. The yield of aldehyde was increased in some degree with 10min. ozone treatment and decreased with longer ozone treatment.

Titanium dioxide ($TiO_2$) nanoparticles were prepared by the oxidation of titanium tetrachloride ($TiCl_4$) in a diffusion flame reactor. The average diameter of particles was 15 to 30 nm and mass fraction of anatase ranged from $40\;to\;80\%$. Effects of particle size and phase composition of those $TiO_2$ nanoparticles on photocatalytic properties such as decomposition of methylene blue and bacteria gas were investigated. The degree of decomposition of methylene blue by the $TiO_2$ nanoparticles under the illumination of the black light was directly proportional to the anantase mass fraction, but inversely to the particle size. The decomposition of bacteria by the $TiO_2$ nanoparticles under the illumination of the fluorescent light showed the same trend as in the case of the methylene blue.

A tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding method was used for the bonding of stainless steel. TIG welding using inert gas (He or Ar gas) is a method to prevent oxidation and nitriding of materials and to combine non-ferrous metals. This method has the advantage of obtaining a smooth weld surface. In this study, the welding characteristics of 304 stainless steel welded by TIG welding method were analyzed by using nondestructive technique. Ultrasonic and Acoustic Emission (AE) was applied to evaluate the micro-damage of TIG welded 304 stainless steel. The velocity and damping coefficient of ultrasonic wave showed a slight difference in HAZ, which is the welding part of stainless steel. The AE parameters of average frequency, rise time and event were analyzed for the dynamic behavior of stainless steel during loading. Optimal AE parameters for evaluating the degree of damage to the specimen have been derived. Fractograph and metal structures of 304 stainless steel using SEM and optical microscope were discussed.

This study was carried to figure out the effect of bleaching on the cationic surfactant (DSDMAC) absorption by cotton fabrics. And physico-chemical change, static electricity, and fabric stiffness of bleached cotton fabrics were measured. Cotton fabrics bleached with sodium hypochlorite soluton and with sodium percarbonate solution were used to analyze the DADMAC absorption. The results were as follows: 1. As the number of bleaching cycles were increased, the degree of oxidation on cotton fabrics was increased. So their carboxyl content was increased and their tensile strength was decreased. 2. DSDMAC absorption by cotton fabrics was increased by bleaching and was in propor- tion to carboxyl content. Therefore, it was groved that DSDMAC absorption by cotton fabrics was motivated by ion exchange mechanism. 3. The static electricity of cotton fabrics almost no change when bleached and unbleached absorption had no effect on the static electricity of cotton fabrics. 4. DSDMAC which was absorbed by cotton fabrics acted as a lubricant. DSDMAC absorption reduced the friction coefficient of yarn, so stiffness of cotton fabric was decreased.

The properties of the alcohol-oxidase from yeasts assimilating of methanol(Hansenula polymorpha CBS 4732, Pichia pastoris CBS 2612 and Candida boidinii CBS 8106) as free(cellules, purified enzymes) and immobilized forms(immobilized cellules, immobilized enzymes) were investigated. Immobilization enhanced the activity and stability of alcohol-oxidase to a certain degree. The optimum temperature of the immobilized alcohol-oxidase was lower than those of the free forms. The pH / activi쇼 profiles of alcohol-oxidase did not change by immobilization, but changed by the microorganisms. When the immobilized cellules were stocked at 4$^{\circ}C$ in 10mM potassium phosphate buffer(pH 7.5 or 8.0), alcohol-oxidase was more stable than those were stocked in potassium phosphate buffer containing 0.65M sucrose. The immobilization modifies the conditions of oxidation on the various substrates. alcohol-oxidase in immobilized forms showed some with higher Km value for methanol than that in free ones.

The main object of this study is to investigate the effect of Al powder as an additive on the sintering of calcined alumina comparing with that of calcined alumina alone. The degree of Al oxidation is calculated by measuring the weight increase during the firing Water absorption bulk density and compressive strength of the $Al_2O_3+Al$ system at each temperature are compared with those of $Al_2O_4$ alone. The $Al_2O_3+Al$ system shows better physical propeties than Al2O3 alone and it seems by the SEM observation that the fine oxidized Al particles(fine $Al_2O_3$ particles submicron unit) fill the interstices of the original $Al_2O_3$ par-ticles and thus result in the well-close-packed arrangement of the particles.
