본 연구에서는 표면처리된 제올라이트에 따른 제올라이트/DGEBA의 경화 동력학과 기계적 계면특성을 고찰하였다. 경화제는 4, 4''-diamino diphenyl methane(DDM)을 사용하였으며, 제올라이트는(PZ) 15와 35 wt% KOH (15-BZ 그리고 35-BZ)로 표면처리하여 XPS와 XRD로 분석하였다. 경화 동력학은 DSC로 분석하였으며, 시편의 기계적 계면특성은 임계응력 세기인자(critical stress intensity factor, $K_{IC}$)와 임계변형에너지 방출속도(critical strain energy release rate, GIC)를 통하여 알아보았다. XPS와 XRD의 결과로부터, KOH로 표면처리된 제올라이트는 나트륨 (Na)이 칼륨(K)으로 이온교환되었으며, 표면처리로 인한 Al-O의 결합세기의 약화로 $Si_{2p}/Al{2p}$의 값이 증가하였다. 동적 DSC와 기계적 계면특성 결과로부터, 제올라이트/DGEBA 중에서 15-BZ의 경화 활성화에너지($E_a$)는 감소하였으며, $K_{IC}$와 $G_{IC}$는 증가하였다. 이러한 결과들은 제올라이트의 표면처리에 의해 산성도가 증가하였으며, 이렇게 증가된 산성도가 제올라이트와 에폭시 사이의 경화반응에 영향을 준 것으로 관찰된다.

Activated carbon (AC) with very large surface area has high capacitance per weight. However, such activation methods tend to suffer from low yields, below 50%, and are low in electrode density and capacitance per volume. Carbon NanoFibers (CNFs) had high surface area polarizability, high electrical conductivity and chemical stability, as well as extremely high mechanical strength and modulus, which make them an important material for electrochemical capacitors. The electrochemical properties of immobilized CNF electrodes were studied for use as in electrical double layer capacitor (EDLC) applications. Immobilized CNFs on Ni foam grown by thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD) were successfully fabricated. CNFs had a uniform diameter range from 50 to 60 nm. Surface area was 56 m$^2$/g. CNF electrodes were compared with AC and multi wall carbon nanotube (MWNT) electrodes. The electrochemical performance of the various electrodes was examined with aqueous electrolyte of 2M KOH. Equivalent series resistance (ESR) of the CNF electrodes was lower than that of AC and MWNT electrodes. The specific capacitance of 47.5 F/g of the CNF electrodes was achieved with discharge current density of 1 mA/cm$^2$.

3-Nitropropionic acid (3-NP) inhibits electron transport in mitochondria, leading to a metabolic failure. In order to elucidate the mechanism underlying this toxicity, we examined a few biochemical changes possibly involved in the process, such as metabolic inhibition, generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), DNA strand breakage, and activation of Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP). Exposure of SK-N-BE(2)C neuroblastoma cells to 3-NP for 48 h caused actual cell death, while inhibition of mitochondrial function was readily observed when exposed for 24 h to low concentrations (0.2${\sim}$2 mM) of 3-NP. The earliest biochemical change detected with low concentration of 3-NP was an accumulation of ROS (4 h after 3-NP exposure) followed by degradation of DNA. PARP activation by damaged DNA was also detectable, but at a later time. The accumulation of ROS and DNA strand breakage were suppressed by the addition of glutathione or N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), which also partially restored mitochondrial function and cell viability. In addition, inhibition of PARP also reduced the 3-NP-induced DNA strand breakage and cytotoxicity. These results suggest that oxidative stress and activation of PARP are the major factors in 3-NP-induced cytotoxicity, and that the inhibition of these factors may be useful in protecting neuroblastoma cells from 3-NP-induced toxicity.

The solvolysis rate constants of 5-nitro-2-furoyl chloride (5-$NO_2(C_4H_2O)$-2-COCl, 1) in 27 different solvents are well correlated with the extended Grunwald-Winstein equation, using the $N_T$ solvent nucleophilicity scale and YCl solvent ionizing scale, with sensitivity values of $1.20{\pm}0.05$ and $0.37{\pm}0.02$ for l and m, respectively. The activation enthalpies (${\Delta}H^{\neq}$) were 5.63 to $13.0kcal{\cdot}mol^{-1}$ and the activation entropies (${\Delta}S^{\neq}$) were -25.9 to $-43.4cal{\cdot}mol^{-1}{\cdot}K^{-1}$, which is consistent with the proposed bimolecular reaction mechanism. The solvent kinetic isotope effect (SKIE, $k_{MeOH}/k_{MeOD}$) of 2.65 was also in accord with the $S_N2$ mechanism and was possibly assisted using a general-base catalysis. The product selectivity (S) for solvolysis of 1 in alcohol/water mixtures was 1.2 to 11, which is also consistent with the proposed bimolecular reaction mechanism.

Ceramium boydenii belongs to euphorbia humitusa of red algae, and is distributed along the coast of Jeju island. This study was conducted to examine the anti-inflammatory effect and action mechanism of C. boydenii in the human keratinocyte cell line HaCaT. The 80% EtOH extract of C. boydenii inhibits the production of MDC (macrophage derived chemokine), an inflammatory chemokine, induced by IFN-${\gamma}$ and TNF-${\alpha}$ in a concentration dependent manner. It also suppressed the phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of STAT1, a key transcription factor in IFN-${\gamma}$ and TNF-${\alpha}$ signaling pathway, at the effective concentrations. These results suggest that C. boydenii demonstrates the anti-inflammatory activity via the suppression of STAT1 activation and has the significant value as an anti-inflammatory source.

양배추 포스포리파제 D(PLD)에 대한 포리아민들의 영향을 조사하였다. PLD 활성도는 phosphatidylcholine small unilamellar 베시클을 기질로 하여 pH- stat 방법으로 생성물질 phosphatidic acid를 적정하여 결정하였다. 양배추 PLD는 스퍼민 1 mM 농도에서 약 4배 활성화되었다. 이 스퍼민 효과는 전에 보고된 쥐 뇌 미토콘드리아 분획의 PLD 활성과 유사한 결과를 보여주고 있다. 양이온성 polypeptide인 polylysine과 polyhistidine에 의해서도 양배추 PLD가 상당히 활성화되는 것을 알았다. 특히 polyhistidine은 0.062 mM 농도에서 약 5.5배의 활성화 효과를 나타냈다. 이 포리아민 효과는 phosphatidylcholine/sodium dodecyl sulfate 혼합미셀계에서도 재확인하였다. 포리아민에 대한 PLD 활성화의 의미를 PLD 활성부위와 관계 지워 고찰하였다.

We recently reported that the ginseng saponin metabolite, compound K (20-O-$\beta$-D-glucopyra-nosyl-20(S)-protopanaxadiol, IH901), inhibits the growth of U937 cells through caspase-dependent apoptosis pathway. In this study, we further characterized the effects of compound K on U937 cells and found that, in addition to apoptosis, compound K induced the arrest of the G1 phase. The compound K treated U937 cells showed increased p21 expression; an inhibitory protein of cyclincdk complex. The up-regulation of p21 was followed by the inactivation of cyclin D and the cdk4 protein, which act at the early $G_1$ phase, and cyclin E, which acts at the late $G_1$ phase. Furthermore, compound K induced the activation of JNK and the transcription factor AP-1, which is a downstream target of JNK. These findings suggest that the up-regulation of p21 and activation of JNK in the compound K treated cells contribute to the arrest of the $G_1$ phase.

The interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) are pacemaking cells required for gastrointestinal motility. The possibility of whether DA-9701, a novel prokinetic agent formulated with Pharbitis Semen and Corydalis Tuber, modulates pacemaker activities in the ICC was tested using the whole cell patch clamp technique. DA-9701 produced membrane depolarization and increased tonic inward pacemaker currents in the voltage-clamp mode. The application of flufenamic acid, a non-selective cation channel blocker, but not niflumic acid, abolished the generation of pacemaker currents induced by DA-9701. Pretreatment with a $Ca^{2+}$-free solution and thapsigargin, a $Ca^{2+}$-ATPase inhibitor in the endoplasmic reticulum, abolished the generation of pacemaker currents. In addition, the tonic inward currents were inhibited by U-73122, an active phospholipase C inhibitor, but not by $GDP-{\beta}-S$, which permanently binds G-binding proteins. Furthermore, the protein kinase C inhibitors, chelerythrine and calphostin C, did not block the DA-9701-induced pacemaker currents. These results suggest that DA-9701 might affect gastrointestinal motility by the modulation of pacemaker activity in the ICC, and the activation is associated with the non-selective cationic channels via external $Ca^{2+}$ influx, phospholipase C activation, and $Ca^{2+}$ release from internal storage in a G protein-independent and protein kinase C-independent manner.
