PVA membrane was widely used in the dehydration pervaporation process. PVA membrane showed remakable selectivity towed water and an excellent film-forming polymer, with a good resistance to orgamic solvents but it has poor stability in aqueous mixtures. Generally the PVA is manufactured by the hydrolysis reaction from poly vinyl acetate(PVAc) and so the degree of PVA hydrolysis is a major parameter for properties of PVA membrane such as the crystallinity and polarity.

To identify the global effects of (p)ppGpp in the gram-positive bacterium Deinococcus radiodurans, which exhibits remarkable resistance to radiation and other stresses, RelA/SpoT homolog (RSHs) mutants were constructed by direct deletion mutagenesis. The results showed that RelA has both synthesis and hydrolysis domains of (p)ppGpp, whereas RelQ only synthesizes (p)ppGpp in D. radiodurans. The growth assay for mutants and complementation analysis revealed that deletion of relA and relQ sensitized the cells to $H_2O_2$, heat shock, and amino acid limitation. Comparative proteomic analysis revealed that the bifunctional RelA is involved in DNA repair, molecular chaperone functions, transcription, the tricarboxylic acid cycle, and metabolism, suggesting that relA maintains the cellular (p)ppGpp levels and plays a crucial role in oxidative resistance in D. radiodurans. The D. radiodurans relA and relQ genes are responsible for (p)ppGpp synthesis/hydrolysis and (p)ppGpp hydrolysis, respectively. (p)ppGpp integrates a general stress response with a targeted re-programming of gene regulation to allow bacteria to respond appropriately towards heat shock, oxidative stress, and starvation. This is the first identification of RelA and RelQ involvement in response to oxidative, heat shock, and starvation stresses in D. radiodurans, which further elucidates the remarkable resistance of this bacterium to stresses.

This study was carried out to evaluate the stability of archival documents produced using papers. The properties of archival documents depend on the type of fillers of papers that are used such as fiber, non cellulose fiber, and mineral. The physio-chemical characteristics of archival documents were analyzed by employing acid hydrolysis against cellulose fiber substances. Fibers of Korean hand-made (Hanji), flex, and cotten papers showed higher pH and the degree of polymerization (DP) than wood fiber and mechanical fiber. Mechanical pulp containing 12.8% of lignin showed the greatest decrease of DP due to acid hydrolysis, and this resulted in increase of degree of aging. The filler found to clay and talc did not contain metal such as $Fe^{+2}$, $Fe^{+3}$, and $Cu^{+2}$. The alkaline metals such as Mg, Ca, and Ti showed greater resistance to acid hydrolysis.

Conventional cancer chemotherapy is seriously limited by tumor cells exhibiting multidrug resistance (MDR), which is caused by changes in the levels or activity of membrane transporters that mediate energy-dependent drug efflux and of proteins that affect drug metabolism and/or drug action. Cancer scientists and oncologists have worked together for some time to understand anticancer drug resistance and develop pharmacological strategies to overcome such resistance. Much focus has been on the reversal of the MDR phenotype by inhibition of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) drug transporters. ABC transporters are a family of transporter proteins that mediate drug resistance and low drug bioavailability by pumping various drugs out of cells at the expense of ATP hydrolysis. Many inhibitors of MDR transporters have been identified, and though some are currently undergoing clinical trials, none are in clinical use. Herein, we briefly review the status of MDR in human cancer, explore the pathways of MDR in chemotherapy, and outline recent advances in the design and development of MDR modulators.

본 연구는 주원료로 도계부산물인 닭털의 NaOH 가수분해물, 경화제로 닭털의 $H_2SO_4$ 가수분해물 및 폼알데히드계가교제를 반응시켜 접착제를 제조하고, 이에 대한 물성 및 내수성 실험을 통하여 닭털의 목질계 판상재용 접착제의 원료화 가능성을 확인하기 위하여 수행하였다. 닭털은 주로 케라틴계 단백질로 구성되어 있었으며, 중금속의 함유량이 매우 낮거나 검출되지 않았다. 알칼리에 대한 닭털의 가수분해율은 수용액 내의 NaOH 농도가 증가함에 따라 계속 증가하였으나, 과도한 가수분해에 따른 단백질 고유의 접착능 손실을 최소화하고 적정한 가수분해 조건을 찾기 위하여 닭털의 가수분해제 내의 NaOH 농도를 5%, 7.5%, 10%로 결정하였다. 접착제의 조성을 보면, 고형분 함량을 기준으로 70%의 닭털 NaOH 가수분해물 또는/그리고 경화제로 닭털의 $H_2SO_4$ 가수분해물 및 30%의 가교제로 조제하였는데, 이 접착제의 고형분 함량은 가수분해 조건 및 가교제의 종류에 따라 28.3 - 44.8% 범위에 존재하였다. 이 접착제의 점도는 상온에서 전반적으로 높았으나, $50^{\circ}C$에서 측정한 결과 분사형 접착제로서 적용이 가능한 것으로 조사되었다. 접착제의 내수성을 비교하기 위하여 측정된 열수 불용해율은 5% 농도의 NaOH 수용액에서 반응시킨 닭털의 알칼리 가수분해물(CF-AK-5%)에 경화제로 5% 농도의 $H_2SO_4$ 수용액에서 반응시킨 닭털의 산가수분해물(CF-AC-5%)을 고형분함량 기준 10% 이상 첨가하여 제조하고 경화시킨 접착제에서 높았다. 또한 접착제 제조시 고형분 함량을 기준으로 30%가 첨가된 가교제별 열수 불용해율은 phenol-formaldehyde (PF), melamine-urea-formaldehyde (MUF), formalin 순으로 조사되었다. 닭털 접착제의 열수 불용해율을 섬유판 제조에 사용되고 있는 석유화학계 합성수지와 비교한 결과, CF-AC-5%에 가교제로 PF를 그리고 경화제로 CF-AC-5%를 첨가하여 조제한 접착제는 기존 멜라민-요소수지의 열수불용해율과 통계학적으로 차이가 없었으며, 가교제로 PF를 사용한 모든 접착제와 고형분 함량을 기준으로 55%의 CF-AK-5%, 15%의 CF-AC-5% 그리고 가교제로 30%의 MUF와 함께 제조한 접착제는 기존 요소수지를 대체할 수 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 이 결과를 토대로 적정한 조건에서 가수분해한 닭털은 목질계 판상재용 접착제의 원료로 사용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

Antibiotic resistance has emerged as a global threat to modern healthcare systems and has nullified many commonly used antibiotics. β-Lactam antibiotics are among the most successful and occupy approximately two-thirds of the prescription antibiotic market. They inhibit the synthesis of the peptidoglycan layer in the bacterial cell wall by mimicking the D-Ala-D-Ala in the pentapeptide crosslinking neighboring glycan chains. To date, various β-lactam antibiotics have been developed to increase the spectrum of activity and evade drug resistance. This review emphasizes the three-dimensional structural characteristics of β-lactam antibiotics regarding the overall scaffold, working mechanism, chemical diversity, and hydrolysis mechanism by β-lactamases. The structural insight into various β-lactams will provide an in-depth understanding of the antibacterial efficacy and susceptibility to drug resistance in multidrug-resistant bacteria and help to develop better β-lactam antibiotics and inhibitors.

Two antibiotics, doxycycline (doxy) and ciprofloxacin (cipro) were applied under a variety of conditions to silk, and to silk that had previously been hydrolyzed. FTIR-ATR analyses indicated that the drastic increase in sorption of antibiotics by hydrolyzed silk was attributable to both chemical and conformational changes that occurred on hydrolysis. A high sorption of doxy by hydrolyzed silk did not necessarily give a more infection-resistant material as determined by a zone of inhibition test. Conversely, the same hydrolysis considerably increased both sorption of cipro and zone of inhibition of cipro-treated silk dyed at 65$^{\circ}C$ and 85$^{\circ}C$.

Chitin is known as biodegradable natural polymer. In spite of various application of chitin derivatives from waste marine sources, commercial use of chitin has been limited due to high resistance to chemicals and the absense of proper solvents. We chitin prepared through the decalcification, bleaching and deproteination from Protunus trituberculatus shells by change of Hackman's method. Also, Microcrystalline chitin made by hydrolysis that was reduce made of resistance solvents used by dilute hydrochloric acid, ultrasonic and hydrogen peroxide. Crosslinked chitin derivatives were preparaed from chitin with crosslink agents(epichlorohydrin, 1,3-dichloropropanol) follwed by crosslinkage at 6C position. The effects of these parameters on chitin dervatives were invastigated by IR, DSC, XRD, BET, PSA and SEM. SEM analysis showed that both chitin and crosslinked chitin had a particle shaped morphology.

Changes in electric resistance was measured to carry out the kinetic analysis of milk gellation upon addition of rennet. Using pasteurized milk and commercial rennin, kinetic properties were investigated during milk gellation in terms of initial hydrolysis and coagulation steps. Specially designed reactor with two platinum electrodes was used throughout the experiments. As a function of either milk concentrations or reaction temperatures, gel time exhibited directly proportional relations: on the contrary, gel time was inversely pro-portional to enzyme concentration. Activation energies for enzymatic degradation and cogulation were 16.3, 4.6 and 34, 8.6 Kcal/mol, repectively. This simple analytical method proved to be very effective to characterize the mechanism of milk gellation. Moreover, unlike other methods, this method reguired simple apparatus and short time of analysis.
