An efficient synthesis of 1,5-Benzothiazepines via Michael addition of corresponding (E)-1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-(4-(phenylthio)phenyl)prop-2-en-1-one is described under ultrasound irradiation. A series of novel 2-((E)-2,3-dihydro-2-(4-(phenylthio)phenyl)benzo[b][1,4]thiazepin-4-yl)phenol derivatives was confirmed on the basis of $^1H$ NMR, Mass, IR spectral data and Elemental analysis. The synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antimicrobial activities. Most of the compounds were found to be comparable potent than the reference standard drugs. Utilization of ultrasound irradiation, simple reaction conditions, isolation, and purification makes this manipulation very interesting from an economic and environmental perspective.

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have emerged as a highly promising energy harvesting technology capable of harnessing mechanical energy from various environmental vibrations. Their versatility in material selection and efficient conversion of mechanical energy into electric energy make them particularly attractive. TENGs can serve as a valuable technology for self-powered sensor operation in preparation for the IoT era. Additionally, they demonstrate potential for diverse applications, including energy sources for implanted medical devices (IMDs), neural therapy, and wound healing. In this review, we summarize the potential use of this universally applicable triboelectric energy harvesting technology in the disinfection and blocking of pathogens. By integrating triboelectric energy harvesting technology into human clothing, masks, and other accessories, we propose the possibility of blocking pathogens, along with technologies for removing airborne or waterborne infectious agents. Through this, we suggest that triboelectric energy harvesting technology could be an efficient alternative to existing pathogen removal technologies in the future.

A stream purification system was applied to the upper reaches of the Masan Reservoir to improve the water quality. This system consisted of two channels which were constructed on both sides of the stream, one side packed with crushed gravels and the other with plastic filter media. The system operated under low pollutant concentrations and high hydraulic loadings during a dry season to avoid clogging of the filter media. Removal rate and efficiency of chemical oxygen demand (COD) in the channel packed with crushed gravel were $14.8g/m^3/d$ and 11.5%, and for the channel with plastic filter media, $50.1g/m^3/d$ and 13.5%, respectively. Removal efficiencies of total phosphorus (T-P) were 6.6% (gravel) and 10.0% (plastic media). These results indicated plastic filter media having relatively high specific surface areas were more efficient than crushed gravels in removing pollutants. However, due to low influent water quality during dry season, the removal efficiencies were low. The proportion of nitrate nitrogen to total nitrogen (T-N) of the inflow was high but, as the system operated under aerobic condition, nitrate nitrogen could not denitrified. Accordingly, total nitrogen was not attenuated with this system. To improve the reservoir water quality effectively, this system should be able to treat the storm runoff containing higher pollutant loadings. When the filter materials are clogged by the storm runoff instead of backwashing, it would be more efficient to replace them, Therefore, the use of natural materials which are light, easily obtaining and replaceable, and have high specific surface areas is recommended.

In this study, we improved the eggshell-membrane separation process by separating the shell and membrane with EDTA solution, evaluating effects of three different extraction solutions (acetic acid, EDTA, and phosphate solution), and co-purifying multiple eggshell proteins with two successive ion-exchange chromatography procedures (CM Sepharose Fast Flow and DEAE Sepharose Fast Flow). The recovery and residual rates of eggshell and membrane separated by the modified method with added EDTA solution were 93.88%, 91.15% and 1.01%, 2.87%, respectively. Ovocleidin-116 (OC-116) and ovocalyxin-36 (OCX-36) were obtained by loading 50 mM Na-Hepes, pH 7.5, 2 mM DTT and 350 mM NaCl buffer onto the DEAE-FF column at a flow rate of 1 mL/min, ovocleidin-17 (OC-17) was obtained by loading 100 mM NaCl, 50 mM Tris, pH 8.0 on the CM-FF column at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min. The purities of OCX-36, OC-17 and OC-116 were 96.82%, 80.15% and 73.22%, and the recovery rates were 55.27%, 53.38% and 36.34%, respectively. Antibacterial activity test suggested that phosphate solution extract exhibited significantly higher activity against the tested bacterial strains than the acetic acid or EDTA extract, probably due to more types of proteins in the extract. These results demonstrate that this separation method is feasible and efficient.

Recently, antibody-like scaffold proteins have received a great deal of interest in diagnosis and therapy applications because of their intrinsic features that are often required for tumor imaging and therapy. Intrinsic issues that are associated with therapeutic application of antibody-like scaffold proteins, particularly in cancer treatment, include an efficient and straightforward radiolabeling for understanding in vivo biodistribution and excretion route, and monitoring therapeutic responses. Herein, we report an efficient and straightforward method for radiolabeling of antibody-like scaffold proteins with the $[^{99m}Tc(OH_2)_3(CO)_3]^+$ ($^{99m}Tc$-tricarbonyl) by using a site-specific direct labeling method via hexahistidine-tag, which is a widely used for general purification of recombinant proteins with His-affinity chromatography. Repebody is a new class of antibody-like scaffold protein that consists of highly diverse leucine-rich repeat (LRR) modules. Although all possible biomedical applications with repebody are ongoing, it's in vivo biodistribution and excretion pathway has not yet been explored. In this study, hexahistidine ($His_6$)-tag bearing repebody (rEgH9) was labeled with [$^{99m}Tc$]-tricarbonyl. Repebody protein was radiolabeled with high radiolabeling efficiency (>90%) and radiolabeled compound was more than 99% pure after purification. These results clearly demonstrate that the present radiolabeling method will be useful molecular imaging study.

분별침전 공정에서 순도 및 수율에 미치는 온도의 영향을 확인하였다. 분별침전을 위해 일정 온도에서 보관할 경우와 단계적으로 보관 온도를 하강하는 경우에 대한 분별침전 효율을 확인하였다. 일정온도$(0^{\circ}C)$에서 보관할 경우 높은 수율$({\sim}84%)$을 얻을 수 있는 반면 단계적으로 보관 온도를 하강할 경우 상대적으로 높은 순도$({\sim}79%)$를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 단계적으로, 큰 폭으로 보관 온도를 하강 시킬 경우 더 높은 순도를 얻을 수 있었다. 저장온도$(-20^{\circ}C{\sim}12^{\circ}C)$를 일정하게 유지할 경우 paclitaxel 순도 면에서 $0^{\circ}C$가 가장 효과적이었으며 온도변화에 따른 수율은 거의 영향이 없었다. 따라서 최종 정제를 위한 전 처리 공정으로 분별침전 공정이 간단하고 매우 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.

본 실험은 Staphylococcus aureus 로부터 생성되는 enterotoxi B 의 분리 및 정제를 위하여 각종 분리방법을 비교 조사하였다. 배지로부터 Entrotoxin B를 추출하는 방법중 Amberlite CG-50 수지가 가장 간편하고 빠른 방법이었고 CM 수지는 Amberlite 수지에 비해 용출력이 떨어졌으며 분리할 수 있는 toxin의 양은 적었으나 정제도에 있어서는 약 75%로 toxin을 분리하는 처음 단계로서는 높은 편이었다. CM column을 Gradient 용출법으로 사용했을 때에는 하나의 column을 사용해 분리한 분리물 중 정제도가 85%로 가장 높았고, 용출 buffer의 농도 폭을 넓히는 것이 정제도를 높이기 위한 바람직한 방법이었다. 이 실험에 사용한 Sephadex G-50 , 75, 100, Sephacryl, Ultro gel 등의 gel filtration 방법 중 Ultro gel 에 의한 분리방법이 정제도에 있어서는 가장 우수했으며, 이온 교환 수지를 먼저 사용한 분리물에서는 모두 90% 이상의 toxin을 얻을수 있었지만, 한번의 분리도 거치지 않은 배지는 분리도와 정제도에서 현저히 떨어졌고, Sephadex G-50 은 gel colunm중 정제도가 가장 낮았다. FPLC는 위의 분리 ·정제 방법중 가장 빠른 방법이며, 적은 양의 시료로도 측정이 가증하였고, 정제도는 95% 이상이었다.

Preeminent water treatment plans are essential to preserve the water quality of aquatic biotopes. Previous studies have not been sufficient to provide cost-effective maintenance method since they focused only on the purification of deteriorated water that requires a continuous supply of clean water. This study proposes an economical method of water quality maintenance using water treatment media block constructed vertically using porous ceramics, zeolite, and river pebble. The water treatment media block does not require a separate purification area because it functions as a purifier within the ecological pond which can maximize the biotope area. To evaluate the performance of the water treatment media block, we longitudinally tracked the change of water quality indicators (pH, TDS, COND, DO, T-P, T-N, COD) suggested by Water Environment Standards, Ministry of Environment, Republic of Korea. We compared the water quality of one control (A: general ecological pond composition method of the laminated structure) and two experimental groups (B: a combination of aquatic plants and a water treatment media block, C: a water treatment media block only). As a result, we confirmed that the water treatment media block is an efficient and economical method to maintaining the water quality of the ecological pond for a long time. The water treatment media block will be a great help in providing a better aquatic biotope space for aquatic insects and fishes living in clear water.

The human complement receptor type 1 (CR 1, C3 b/C4b receptor) is a polymorphic membrane glycoprotein expressed on human erythrocytes, peripheral leukocytes, plasma and renal glomerular podocytes, which consists of transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains with 30 repeating homologous protein domains known as short consensus repeats (SCR). CR1 has been used as an inhibitor for inflammatory and immune system for the past several years. Recently; it is reported that CRl was found to suppress the hyper-acute rejection in xeno-transplantation and can be used to cure autoimmune diseases. A soluble form of CRl, called sCRl, is a recombinant CRl by cleaving the transmembrane domain at C-terminus and has been expressed in Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells. Several purification methods for sCR1 from CHO cells have been reported, but most of them require complicated steps at high cost. Moreover, such methods are mostly performed under the pH condition apt to denaturing sCR1 and causes sCRl losing its activity. We here report a rapid and efficient method to purify sCR1 from CHO cell. The new method consists of a two-stage of cell culture by cultivating cells in serum medium followed by serum-free medium, and a two-stage of column purification by means of heparin and gel filtration column chromatography. By using this novel method, sCR1 can be purified in a simple and effective way with high yield and purity, furthermore, the purified sCR1 was confirmed to retain its activity to suppress the complement activation in vivo and ex vivo.
