본 논문은 당뇨병의 지표 물질인 glucose의 농도를 극미량의 시료를 사용하여 정량할 수 있는 방법을 개발하기 위해 organic/inorganic 네트웍에 의해 안정화된 나노입자 효소를 이용하여 초소형 효소 전극을 개발하였다. 전극은 실리콘 웨이퍼상에 반도체 공정을 이용하여 마이크로 크기의 금 박막 전극을 제작하였다, Organic/Inorganic 물질과 함께 합성된 glucose oxidase 나노입자는 20nm 크기로 투과형 전자현미경 (Transmission Electron Microscope:TEM)으로 관찰하고, 푸리에변환 적외선분광법(Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer : FTIR) 을 이용하여 분석하였고, 전극 특성을 알아보기 위해 Potentiostat/Galvanostat을 사용하여 전기 화학 실험을 하였다. 제작된 전극은 시간대 전류법으로 glucose의 농도에 따른 감도를 측정하였다. 실험결과에 따라 전극의 표면에서 발생하는 전류는 glucose의 농도에 비례함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 순환 전압전류법을 통하여 감도를 측정하였다.

To evaluate an effect of xanthine oxidase(XO) reaction system on the carbon tetrachloride($CCl_4$) metabolism, $CCl_4$ was given twice at 0.1ml/100g body wt. at intervals of 18 hour to the rats and those pretreated with allopurinol (50mg/kg. body wt.). The influence of XO on the metabolism of $CCl_4$ was focused on the degree of liver damage and the activities of a $CCl_4$ metabolizing marker enzyme, glucose-6-phosphatase. The increasing rate of liver weight per body weight and the levels of serum alanine aminotransferase to the control group were more decreased in allopurinol-pretreated rats than in those treated with $CCl_4$ alone. The liver XO activities were more increased in $CCl_4$-treated rats than the control group and the $CCl_4$-treated rats pretreated with allopurinol showed a decreased activities of XO compared to the $CCl_4$-treated rats. The type conversion (type D --> type O) rate was more decreased tendency in allopurinol pretreated rats than those treated $CCl_4$ alone. In dialyzed liver enzyme preparations, all of the xanthine oxidase activities: $CCl_4$-treated, allopurinol and $CCl_4$-treated rats pretreated with allopurinol showed the more increased Vmax value than the control group, but similar Km value. Moreover, $CCl_4$-treated rats pretreated with allopurinol showed the more increased Vmax value than the group treated with $CCl_4$ alone. In conclusion, it can not be negate the possibility of metabolism of $CCl_4$ by the xanthine oxidase enzyme system.

An actinomycete strain, HSL-613 was isolated -from soil and identified by International Streptomyces Project (ISP) and chemotaxonomic methods. The spore chain of the strain HSL-613 appears in a spiral shape, and its spores are spherical shape with smooth surface. The cell wall contains LL-diaminopimelic acid (DAP). Menaquinone MK-9 (H$_{6}$, H$_{8}$) and iso- and anteiso-branched fatty acids were detected from whole cell extract. Sugars identified from whole cell extract include galactose, glucose, mannose and ribose, which are distinct from general sugar patterns of Streptomyces. Average G+C content in the chromosome is 59%. 5S rRNA of HSL-613 consists of 120 nucleotides as determined by comparing with that of a type strain Streptomyces griseus subsp. KCTC 9080. Through morphological, physiological, and chemical characterization, HSL-613 was identified and named as Streptomyces sp. HSL-613.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the computer input frequency of blood glucose self testing in type2 diabetic patients, for three months. Method: 39 participants were recruited from the endocrinology outpatient department of a tertiary care hospital in an urban city. The computer input frequencies were measured by patients' log in and input of http://www.biodang.com. Glycosylated haemoglobin was determined by a high performance liquid chromatography technique and fasting blood glucose was analyzed by the glucose oxidase method. Diabetes knowledge was measured by a 19 item diabetes knowledge test. Results: The computer input frequency of before breakfast blood glucose was 33.5 for three months. The total blood glucose input frequency tended to be lower in female, aged patients, middle school graduates, those who have no spouse and job, those who have no insulin treatment, obese subjects, and hyperglycemia patients, than in their counterparts. The diabetic knowledge was positively correlated with the computer input frequency of blood glucose self testing. Conclusion: An educational program should be developed to increase the computer input frequency of blood glucose self testing in type2 diabetic patients.

A novel approach to fabricating high-performance glucose sensors is reported, which is based on the process of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs). In this study, we have particularly used ${\alpha}$-lipoic acid (LA) SAMs for the glucose sensors. To our best knowledge, this study is the first one to use LA as SAMs for this purpose. N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) and 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC) were deliberately attached at the same time on the LA SAM. Then, glucose oxidase ($GO_X$) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) were sequentially immobilized. Thus, the HRP/$GO_X$/NHS-EDC/LA-SAM/Au/Cr/glass working electrode was developed. The glucose-sensing capability of the fabricated sensor was systematically measured by the use of cyclic voltammetry in the range of 1-30 mM glucose in phosphate-buffered saline. The result showed a good sensitivity, that is, as high as $27.5{\mu}A/(mM{\cdot}cm^2)$. This result conspicuously demonstrates that LA can be one of promising substances for use as SAMs for accurately monitoring trace levels of glucose concentration in human blood.

Flow injection analysis (FIA) system was developed to monitor glucose concentrations in biotechnological processes. A fiber optic oxygen sensor was used to determine consumption of oxygen concentration by reaction of immobilized glucose oxidase (GOD). The GOD was immobilized on VA-Epoxy carrier and integrated into FIA system. A calibration curve for glucose was obtained in the range of 0.5 $g/L{\sim}3.0$ g/L.

A highly interferent-resistive membrane, poly-5-amino-1-naphthol (poly-5A1N), underlied beneath enzymeembedded poly-1,3-phenylendiamine (poly-m-PD) network for miniturized continuous monitoring glucose sensors. The enzyme layer was prepared from a mixed solution of glucose oxidase (GOx) and m-PD monomer by simple electrolysis. The mass change of poly-5A1N was monitored by electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) in situ and the corresponding thickness was measured. Successive electropolymerization of poly-5A1N and poly-m-PD create a several tens nm-thick bilayer showing excellent selectivity for $H_2O_2$ and low activity loss of immobilized enzymes.

In this study, we report the one-pot synthesis of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) containing platinum nanoparticles with catalytic activity to break down hydrogen peroxide as a peroxidase-mimicking catalyst. A single reducing agent was used to reduce graphene oxide and a platinum precursor at a moderately low temperature of 70℃. The rGO was homogeneously decorated with platinum nanoparticles. The catalytic activity of Pt-rGO was investigated for the oxidation of 3,3',5,5'- tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), a peroxidase substrate, in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. The Pt-rGO coupled with glucose oxidase was also able to detect glucose at millimolar concentrations (up to 1 mM). Our results show that the Pt-rGO composite is a promising catalyst for the detection of hydrogen peroxide. This method was also applied for the detection of glucose.

Several recent studies have reported that reactive oxygen species (ROS), superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), play important roles in various cellular signaling networks. NADPH oxidase (Nox) isozymes have been shown to mediate receptor-mediated ROS generation for physiological signaling processes involved in cell growth, differentiation, apoptosis, and fibrosis. Detectable intracellular levels of ROS can be induced by the electron leakage from mitochondrial respiratory chain as well as by activation of cytochrome p450, glucose oxidase and xanthine oxidase, leading to oxidative stress. The up-regulation and the hyper-activation of NADPH oxidases (Nox) also likely contribute to oxidative stress in pathophysiologic stages. Elevation of the renal ROS level through hyperglycemia-mediated Nox activation results in the oxidative stress which induces a damage to kidney tissues, causing to diabetic nephropathy (DN). Nox inhibitors are currently being developed as the therapeutics of DN. In this review, we summarize Nox-mediated ROS generation and development of Nox inhibitors for therapeutics of DN treatment.

Screen printed carbon electrodes (SPEs) modified with co-immobilized osmium-based redox polymers can be used to apply multi-detecting biosensors. In this study, we report our initial studies of multi-detecting biosensor concepts using two osmium-based redox polymers for horseradish peroxidase-mediated reduction of ${H_2}{O_2}$ coupled to glucose oxidase-mediated oxidation of glucose. We target to synthesize two osmium redox polymers of potentials use, a chloride-containing redox polymer ($E^{O'}$ + 0.520 vs. Ag/AgCl) and a methoxy-containing redox polymer $E^{O'}$ + 0.150 vs. Ag/AgCl). The former show good catalytic electrical signals with horseradish peroxidase and the latter's redox polymer is to be an effective redox mediator of glucose oxidation by glucose oxidase.
