Na-MMT intercalated with PEGMA macromer was prepared using an EtAc/acetone mixture (1/1 by volume) as a solvent. PEGMA/(Na-MMT)-co-MMA/MA nanocomposites was synthesized by copolymerizing intercalated compound with MMA and MA, and then characterization was performed. The results of X-ray diffraction (XRD) showed that in the case of Na-MMT intercalated with PEGMA macromer the d-spacings of silicate of Na-MMT increased with increasing of Na-MMT loading. As the Na-MMT loading increases Tg showed increasing trend through the DSC measurement. TGA result showed that thermal stability of PEGMA/(Na-MMT)-co-MMA/MA nanocomposites improved a little more than the pure PEGMA-co-MMA/MA.

The author investigated the effect of $Mg^#$, $Ca^#$, $Na^+$, $K^+$ and creatine phosphate on the ATPase activity of microsomal fraction isolated from rabbit uterus and obtained the following results : 1) The uterine microsomal fraction contained the $Na^+-$ and $K^+-$ activated ATPase in the presence of $Mg^#$. The ATPase activity increased with protein content in the fraction. 2) The maximum ATPase activity was obtained at $Na^+$ and $K^+$ concentraction of 100 mM respectively. 3) In the absence of $Mg^#$, the ATPase was not activated by $Na^+$ and $K^+$, but inhibited. 4) Car stimulated the $Na^+-$ and $K^+-$ activated ATPase in the presence of $Mg^#$. However, in the absence of $Mg^#$, the ATPase was not activated by $Ca^#$. 5) The $K^+-$ activated ATPase activity was greater than the $Na^+-activated$ ATPase under all conditions. 6) The $Na^+-$ and $K^+$ activated ATPase activity was increased by addition of creatine phosphokinase and creatine phosphate to the reaction mixture.

This study was carried out to investigate the plant growth and ion absorbance balance of various native plants affected by the NaCl concentration (0, 100, 200, 300 mM). Carex blepharicarpa, Carex lenta, Carex matsumarae, Carex sendaica, Iris pseudacorus L., Sedum oryzifolium Makino, Sedum polytrichoides Hemsl., and Typha angustifolia L. were used in this experiment. Carex blepharicarpa, Carex lenta, Carex matsumarae, and Iris pseudacorus L. were tolerant of salinity at the NaCl concentration of 200 mM. The root growth of Carex sendaica and Typha angustifolia L. was suppressed at the NaCl concentration of 100 mM, expecially the root growth responded more sensitively than the upper growth to salinity. The K absorbance of Carex sendaica decreased according to the NaCl application, and the Na/K rate value was 3 at the NaCl concentration of 300 mM. The K, Ca, and Mg absorbance of Typha angustifolia L. decreased at the NaCl concentration of 200~300 mM, and the Na/K rate value was 0.8 at the NaCl concentration of 300 mM. The plant growth of Sedum oryzifolium Makino and Sedum polytrichoides Hemsl. was suppressed at the NaCl concentration of 100~200 mM. The K, Ca, and Mg absorbance of Sedum oryzifolium Makino decreased at the NaCl concentration of 200~300 mM, and Sedum polytrichoides Hemsl. was unaffected by the NaCl application. The Na/K value was 1 in both plants. Therefore, Carex blepharicarpa, Carex lenta, Carex matsumarae, and Iris pseudacorus L. were tolerant plants of salinity at the NaCl concentration of 200 mM considering the plant growth and ion absorbance balance. Especially, the Carex plants were expected to expanding use by the proven tolerance of salinity. The root growth of Carex sendaica, Sedum oryzifolium Makino, Sedum polytrichoides Hemsl., and Typha angustifolia L., was suppressed at the NaCl concentration of 100 mM, but there was no distinct tendency of ion absorbance in leaves according to the NaCl application.

Electrochemical migration characteristics of Pb-free solder alloys are quantitatively correlated with corrosion characteristics in harsh environment conditions. In-situ water drop test and corrosion resistance test for Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder alloys were carried out in NaBr and NaF solutions to obtain the electrochemical migration lifetime and pitting potential, respectively. Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder alloy shows similar ionization and electrochemical migration behavior with pure Sn because of Ag and Cu do not migrate due to the formation of resistant intermetallic compounds inside solder itself. Electrochemical migration lifetime in NaBr is longer than in NaF, which seems to be closely related to higher pitting potential in NaBr than NaF solution. Therefore, it was revealed that electrochemical migration lifetime of Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder alloys showed good correlation to the corrosion resistance, and also the initial ionization step at anode side is believed to be the rate-determining step during electrochemical migration of Pb-free solders in these environments.

This study conducted to elucidate the change of the cation content (Na$^{+}$, $K^{+}$, and $Ca^{2+}$), the L-proline content, and the sugar and starch content in the stems, roots, and leaves of three cultivars of the 30 days old seedling soybeans (Glycine max L. cv. Danwonkong, Hwang-keumkong, and Kwangankong) after 100 mM NaCl stress containing 1/2 Hoaglands nutrient solution in the sand culture. The reduction of the dry matter weight after 100 mM NaCl treatment among cultivars was higher in the order of Kwangankong, Danwonkong, and Hwang-keumkong. The highest reduction of the dry matter weight was occurred at the roots among three parts of plant. The Na$^{+}$ content increased with NaCl treatment in overall and specially greatly increased in roots and stems. The $K^{+}$ and $Ca^{2+}$ content decreased with NaCl treatment at the roots and stems. The $K^{+}$ content, however, at the leaves increased in all three cultivars with the NaCl treatment. The L-proline content with NaCl stress increased greatly. The increment of the L-proline content at the stems and roots of Hwangkeumkong was lower than that of other two cultivars, K wangankong and Danwonkong. The sugar content decreased with NaCl treatment at the stems and leaves. The starch content also decreased at the stems and leaves with NaCl treatment.aCl treatment.

We have investigated nuclear magnetic resonance of $^{23}Na$ nucleus in $NaMgCl_3$ single crystal in the temperature range 200 K~410 K using FT-NMR spectrometer. The spin-lattice relaxation times $T_1$ of $^{23}Na$ nucleus residing at cubic symmetry in the host crystal was measured as a function of temperature. The $T_1$ of $^{23}Na$ nucleus decreased with increasing temperature. The nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate $1/T_1$ of $^{23}Na$ in $NaMgCl_3$ single crystal was proportional to the temperature T. This behavior is explained with the characteristic feature of the direct process between the nuclear spins and single phonon, $1/T_1$ being proportional to the absolute temperature. The activation energy calculated was $E_a=4.82J/mol$.

In order to see if NaCl affected the the emergence rate and the SD action when treated it at the pupal stage of Drosophila melanogaster, an experiment was performed in which the resistibility to NaCl at the pupal stage was examined by the emergence rate and the effects of NaCl on the SD action was studied by k values. The four SD strains and two other strains (cn bw and Oregon-R) were used and NaCl media were prepared by adding NaCl at a concentration of 0.0M, 0.1M, 0.3M, 0.5M, 0.7M, and 1.0M to the standard media for the present experiment. The following conclusions were established: 1. The emergence rate (resistibility to NaCl) when treated NaCl at the pupal stage is significantly different not only among the strains but also among concentrations of NaCl. 2. The emergence rate decreases as concentration of NaCl increases but the rate of decrease shows rather constant so that the curves of decrease are not steep. 3. The emergence rate of the cn bw and Oregon-R strains shows higher value than of the four SD strains, implying that the resistibility to the NaCl is lower in the SD strains than in the two strains; not a few flies are emerged from the media of 1.0M of NaCl. 4. The difference in k values is not significant among concentrations of NaCl but among strains, the k values of the original SD strains are rather higher and constant but those of the recombinant SD strains are rather low and unstable. 5. The SD action is not affected by NaCl as far as once emerged from the culture media whether containing NaCl or not in any developmental stage. Thus such an experiment on NaCl effect is of little value to analyze the mechanism of the SD action in D. melanogaster.

This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of Samhwasan on the Na-K-ATPase activity of heart muscle. The Na-K-ATPase activity was prepared from rabbit heart ventricles. Samhwasan markedly inhibited the Na- K - ATPase activity in a dose-dependent manner with an estimated $I_{50}$ of 0.56%. Hill coefficient was 1.70, indicating that the enzyme has more than one binding site for the Samhwasan. Inhibition of enzyme activity by Samhwasan increased as pretreatment time was prolonged. Inhibition by the drug was not affected by a change in enzyme protein concentration. Kinetic studies of substrate activation of the enzyme indicated classical noncompetitive inhibition, showing significant reduction in Vmax without a change in Km value. Inhibitory effect by Samhwasan was not altered by changes in concentration of $Mg^{2+}$, $Na^+$ or $K^+$, dithiothreitol. a sulfhydryl reducing reagent, did not protect the inhibition of Na-K-ATPase activity by Samhwasan combination of Samhwasan and ouabain showed a cumulative inhibition fashion. These results suggest that Samhwasan inhibits Na-K-ATPase activity of heart ventricles with an unique binding site different from that of ATP, $Mg^{2+}$, $Na^+$ or $K^+$ and ouabain.

The effects of ouabain and diphenylhydantoin on ATPase activity in rat erythrocyte membranes were studied and also influence of K on ATPase activity was studied. The ATPase activity of rat erythrocyte membrane has been shown to consist of two components. The first component requires the Mg but occurs in the absence of Na or K (Mg-ATPase) and is not inhibited by ouabain and stimulated by diphenylhydantoin. The second component requires the presence of Mg and also Na or K (Na-K-Mg-ATPase). It is inhibited by ouabain and is stimulated by diphenylhydantoin in low Na concentration and inhibited in high Na concentration. K inhibit Na-K-Mg-ATPase which is inhibited by ouabain. Ouabain and diphenylhydantoin show reversed effect to Na-K-Mg-ATPase activity. It suggest that the therapeutic effect of diphenylhydantoin on digitalis induced cardiac arrhythmia may be resulted from their effect on ion transport mechanism of cell membrance. And the relevance of these findings to the action of ouabain and diphenylhydantoin on membrane transport mechanism is discussed.

The purpose of this study was to estimate the sodium and potassium intakes of university students in Korea and to evaluate the relationship between blood pressure and related variables. Two hundred and eighty five subjects were selected from among healthy university students aged 17 to 28. The urinary (sodium, potassium urea nitrogen and creatinine) excretions in 24 hrs. were evaluated from the analysis of urine samples gathered for 12hrs. At the same time, dietary intakes of sodium and potassium were assessed by the modified convenient method with the same subjects. The results were as follows : 1) The urinary sodium excretions of male and female students in 24hrs. were estimated at 199.1mEq and 174.5mEq respectively. Daily sodium intakes by the questionnaire were calculated to be 218.5mEq for male students and 218.1mEq for female students. 2) The urinary potassium excretions in male and female students were 48.3mEq/24hr and 43.9mEq/24hr. respectively, and the potassium intakes 48.6mEq/24hr. and 47.4mEq/24h. each 3) No correlations were found between blood pressure and the urinary excretions of sodium potassium or urinary Na/K ratio in college students.
