In this study, we demonstrated the antioxidant effect of the Caesalpinia sappan L. extract through the scavenging effect against 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical and the protective effect on protein damage and PC12 cells against cupric ion/hydrogen peroxide. Its IC/sub 50/ value of the scavenging effect against DPPH radical was 7.7 ㎍. Protection of its extract against oxidative bovine serum albumin (BSA)damage induced by hydrogen peroxide was more effective than that of vitamin C. The protective effect on PC12 cells by hydrogen peroxide was shown to be more potent in is extract than in vitamin C. DNA fragmentation analysis also supports this result.

The stability of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) films under the light soaking are very important since the applications of a-Si:H films are solar cells, color sensors, photosensors, and thin film transistors(TFTs). We found the changes of the electric conductivity and the conductivity activation energy (Ea) of a-Si:H films by argon radical annealing. The deposition rate of a-Si:H films depends on the argon radical annealing time. The optical band gap and the hydrogen contents in the a-Si:H films are changes along the argon radical annealing time. We will discuss the microscopic processes of argon radical annealing in a-si:H films.

The study was aimed at evaluating the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of methanol extract of Caesalpinia bonducella leaves (MECB) (Family: Caesalpiniaceae). The effect of MECB on antioxidant activity, reducing power, free radical scavenging (DPPH radical, nitric oxide radical, superoxide anion radical, hydroxyl radical and hydrogen peroxide radical scavenging), total phenolic content and antimicrobial activities were studied. The antioxidant activity of MECB increased in a dose dependent manner. About 50, 100, 250 and 500 g of MECB showed 53.4, 61.2, 69.1 and 76.2 % inhibition respectively on peroxidation of linoleic acid emulsion. Like antioxidant activity, the effect of MECB on reducing power increased in a dose dependent manner. The free radical scavenging activity of MECB was determined by DPPH radical scavenging method. The potency of this activity was increased with increased amount of extract. MECB was found to inhibit the nitric oxide radicals generated from sodium nitroprusside $(IC_{50}\;=\;102.8\;g/ml)$ whereas the $IC_{50}$ value of curcumin was 20.4 g/ml. Moreover, the MECB was found to scavenge the superoxide generated by photoreduction of Riboflavin. MECB was also found to inhibit the hydroxyl radical generated by Fenton reaction, where the $IC_{50}$ value is 104.17 g/ml compared with catechin 5 g/ml, which indicates the antioxidant activity of MECB. The MECB capable of scavenging hydrogen peroxide in a concentration-dependent manner. The amounts of total phenolic compounds were also determined. Antimicrobial activities of MECB were carried out using disc diffusion methods with five Gram positive, four Gram negative and four fungal species. The results obtained in the present study indicate that MECB leaves are potential source of natural antioxidant and antimicrobial agents.

Ganoderma lucidum is commonly known as medically potent mushroom, which has been widely used in China and other oriental countries for the treatment of various diseases, including cancer. In this report, we investigated the anti-oxidant and protective effect of Ganodema lucidum extract (GLE) against the DNA damage induced by free radical and U.V. In the assay of cell growth inhibition, the inhibitory cell growth rate induced by hydroxyl radical was dose-dependently decreased by GLE. This results support that GLE has a detoxifying activity against cytotoxicity of hydroxyl radical in E. coli cell. GLE also protected ColE1 plasmid DNA damage in the concentration of 200$\mu\textrm{g}$ per reaction on the DNA fragmentation assay. The nuclear tailing by hydrogen peroxide in single cell gel electrophoresis(SCGE) was decreased by GLE in the concentration of 50$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml. These data indicate that Ganoderma lucidum has an anti-oxidative activity to hydrogen peroxide. The mutation rate after irradiation of U.V. was reduced by 50$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml GLE and total number of Rif (Rifampicin) resistant mutants was decreased in a concentration dependent manner when added the GLE exogenously in a culture media. According to the results, it is likely that GLE has not only an anti-oxidative activity to hydroxyl radical but also an anti-mutagenic activity to U.V. mutagenesis.

An antioxidant was isolated from Korean mistletoe (Viscum album var. coloratum) by consecutive purification using silica gel, Sephadex LH-20, and RP-HPLC. The active principle was identified as homo-flavoyadorinin-B (3',7-dimethoxyluteolin-4'-O-[apiosyl $(1{\rightarrow}2)$ glucoside]) by spectral analyses. It inhibited 74.6% of hydroxyl radical and 30.6% of superoxide anion radical at 0.01 mM; however, th~compound did not show any scavenging activity against hydrogen peroxide radical. At 0.1 mM, above compound scavenged superoxide anion radical about twice as effective as positive controls, BHT and ${\alpha}-tocopherol$. Radical scavenging activities of homo-flavoyadorinin-B on DPPH, hydroxyl, and hydrogen peroxide radicals were almost same with those of positive controls.

수용액 속에 강력초음파를 조사(照射)하면 공동화기포 (cavitation bubble) 속의 매우 높은 온도의 열에 의해 수증기가 해리되어 OH (hydroxyl radical) 과 H (hydrogen radical) 이 생성되고 그것들이 수용액 속에 함유되어 있는 물질들을 산화 또는 환원시켜 분해시키며, 한편으로는 과산화수소를 생성한다. 따라서 생성된 과산화수소의 양과 유기물질의 초음파 분해반응메카니즘과는 상관관계가 있을 것임을 예측할 수 있으며, 이러한 예측을 확인하기 위해 공기로 포화시킨 증류수와 그 증류수에 각각 TCE, Benzene, 그리고 2,4-DCP 등 세 가지 유기물질들을 용해시킨 수용액으로부터 생성된 과산화수소의 양을 측정하고 그 결과를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 생성된 과산화수소의 양은 증류수>TCE수용액>2,4-DCP수용액 >benzene수용액의 순으로 많고 유기물질의 농도가 낮을수록 적어 TCE는 높은 온도의 수용액에서는 고온과 고압인 공동화기포내와 그 공동화기포가 파열될 때 그 주위에서 직접 열분해되고 저농도의 수용액에서는 라디칼반응에 의해 분해되며, 벤젠과 2,4-DCP는 열분해 및 라디칼반응에 의해 분해된다고 제안된 초음파 분해반응메카니즘과 일치함을 나타내었다. 사용한 실험변수인 초음파의 주파수와 음향출력, 그리고 시료물질의 농도 등의 영향은 주파수가 높고 음향출력이 낮을수록 과산화수소의 생성량이 적어 수중에 강력초음파를 조사(照射)하였을 때의 에너지원인 공동화와 이들 변수와의 관계에 대한 초음파이론과 일치하였다.

The Fenton reaction, which refers to the reaction between ferrous ions and hydrogen peroxide to produce the OH radical, has not been widely applied to the disinfection of microorganisms despite being economic and environmentally friendly. Cho et al. have previously proposed the neutral photo ferrioxalate system as a solution to the problems posed by the Fenton reaction in acidic conditions, but this system still requires an external hydrogen peroxide supply. In the present study, we developed a simple disinfection technology using the photo or solar ferrioxalate reaction without the need for an external hydrogen peroxide supply. E. coli was employed as the indicating microorganism. The study results demonstrated the effectiveness of the photo ferrioxalate system in inactivating E. coli without any external hydrogen peroxide supply, as long as dissolved oxygen is supplied. Furthermore, the solar ferrioxalate system achieved faster inactivation of E. coli than an artificial light source at similar irradiance.

[6]-Gingerol is known as the major bioactive constituent of ginger. In the study, it was observed to effectively protect against ${\bullet}OH$-induced DNA damage ($IC_{50}$ $328.60{\pm}24.41{\mu}M$). Antioxidant assays indicated that [6]-gingerol could efficiently scavenge various free radicals, including ${\bullet}OH$ radical ($IC_{50}$ $70.39{\pm}1.23{\mu}M$), ${\bullet}O_2{^-}$ radical ($IC_{50}$ $228.40{\pm}9.20{\mu}M$), $DPPH{\bullet}$radical ($IC_{50}$ $27.35{\pm}1.44{\mu}M$), and $ABTS{^+}{\bullet}$radical ($IC_{50}$ $2.53{\pm}0.070{\mu}M$), and reduce $Cu^{2+}$ ion ($IC_{50}$ $11.97{\pm}0.68{\mu}M$). In order to investigate the possible mechanism, the reaction product of [6]-gingerol and $DPPH{\bullet}$ radical was further measured using HPLC combined mass spectrometry. The product showed a molecular ion peak at m/z 316 $[M+Na]^+$, and diagnostic fragment loss (m/z 28) for quinone. On this basis, it can be concluded that: (i) [6]-gingerol can effectively protect against ${\bullet}OH$-induced DNA damage; (ii) a possible mechanism for [6]-gingerol to protect against oxidative damage is ${\bullet}OH$ radical scavenging; (iii) [6]-gingerol scavenges ${\bullet}OH$ radical through hydrogen atom ($H{\bullet}$) transfer (HAT) and sequential electron (e) proton transfer (SEPT) mechanisms; and (iv) both mechanisms make [6]-gingerol be oxidized to semi-quinone or quinone forms.
