SIPK와 WIPK의 상위 단계 인산화 효소로 알려진 NtMEK2가 DEX 유도성 시스템에 의해 밝혀졌다. 이 NtMEK2 유전자가 지속적으로 활성화된 돌연변이체인 $NtMEK2^{DD}$의 발현은 SIPK와 WIPK를 활성화 시켜 주므로 과민감 반응과 같은 세포 괴사를 야기하는 것으로 나타나 NtMEK2-SIPK/WIPK 체계가 담배에서 방어 반응을 조절하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 NtMEK2-SIPK/WIPK 체계에 의해서 조절 되는 하위 기질이나 방어관련 유전자들에 대한 연구는 아직 미비한 상태이다. 그래서 본 연구는 NtMEK2-SIPK/WIPK 체계에 매개되는 하위 유전자들을 분리하기 위하여 $NtMEK2^{DD}$ 형질전환 식물체를 이용해 ACP에 기초한 DDRT-PCR을 수행하였다. 그 결과 본 연구를 통해 처음으로 pI2-4, MTS2, SINA, CDM1, HRGP 및 DEG45를 포함해 여섯 개의 DEG들을 선발하였다. 이 유전자들의 발현은 $NtMEK2^{DD}$ 형질전환에서 다시 확인하였으며 특히 pI2-4, CDM1, HRGP의 유전자 발현은 다른 유전자들과 비교해 볼 때 살리실산과 담배모자이크바이러스에 강하게 반응하여 증폭됨을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과를 볼 때 NtMEK2-SIPK/WIPK 체계에 의해 조절되는 세 개의 유전자는 병저항성에 관여하고 있음을 제시한다 하겠다.

Plasma-photocatalytic oxidation process was applied in the decomposition of Triethylamine(TEA) and Methyl ethyl ketone(MEK). Plasma reactor was made entirely of pyrex glass and consists of 24mm inner diameter, 1,800mm length and discharge electrode of 0.4mm stainless steel. And initial concentrations of TEA and MEK for plasma-photocatalytic oxidation are 100 ppm. Odor gas samples were taken by gas-tight syringe from a glass sampling bulb which was located at reactor inlet and outlet, and TEA and MEK were determined by GC-FID. For plasma process, the decomposition efficiency of TEA and MEK were evaluated by varying different flowrates and decomposition efficiency of TEA and MEK increased considerably with decreasing treatment flowrates. For photocatalytic oxidation process, also the decomposition efficiency of TEA and MEK increased considerably with decreasing treatment flowrates. The decomposition efficiency of MEK was 57.8％, 34.2％, 18.8％ respectively and the decomposition efficiency of TEA was reached all 100％. This result is higher than that of plasma process only, From this study, the results indicate that plasma-photocatalytic oxidation process is ideal for treatment of TEA and MEK.

In this study, the incineration of MEK and toluene was studied on a Pt supported alumina catalyst at temperature range from 200 to $350^{\circ}C$. An approach based on the Mars-van Krevelen rate model was used to explain the results. The object of this study was to study the kinetic behavior of the platinum catalyst for deep oxidation. The conversions of MEK and toluene were increased as the inlet concentration was decreased and the reaction temperature was increased. The maximum deep conversion of MEK and toluene were 91.81% and 55.69% at $350^{\circ}C$, respectively. The ${\kappa}_3$ constant increases with temperature faster than the ${\kappa}_1$ constant, that is, the surface concentration of ($VOCs{\cdots}O$) is higher than that of (O) at higher temperature according to the Mars-van Krevelen mechanism. Also the activation energy of toluene was larger than MEK for toluene is aromatic compound which have stronger bonding energy.Therefore, the catalytic incineration kinetics of MEK and toluene with Mars-van Krevelen mechanism could be used as the basic data for industrial processes.

Biological exposure indices (BEI) of toluene, perchloroethylene (PCE) and methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) for Korean workers were studied respectively. Environmental exposures in workplace to organic solvent were measured by personal sampling. Blood toluene, blood perchloroethylene, urinary trichloroacetic acid and urinary MEK were determined by headspace gas chromatography. Urinary hippuric acid were determined by HPLC and corrected by creatinine. BEIs for Korean workers were calculated as the levels of determinants which are correspond to permissible exposure limits in Korea. Blood toluene level of 2.2mg/l and urinary hippuric acid level of 1.7g/g creatinine are correspond to an exposure of 100 ppm toluene. Blood PCE concentration of 1.6mg/l and urinary trichloroacetic acid concentration of 2.9mg/l are correspond to an exposure of 50ppm PCE. Urinary MEK concentration of 1.0mg/l is correspond to an exposure of 200ppm of MEK. BEIs for Korean workers determined in this study are very different to ACGIH's BEI as urinary determinants are much lower and blood determinants are much higher than ACGIH's BEI.

본 연구에서는 multi-bed 플레이트로 폐열재생 부분과 촉매반응 부분으로 구성되어 있는 복합열산화 시스템(Hybrid Thermal Oxidation System)을 이용하여 저온에서 주입 밸브 교체 시간간격과 유입유량을 변화시켜 VOCs(MEK와 Toluene) 제거를 평가하고자 하였다. $350^{\circ}C$의 연소온도 조건에서 VOCs는 완전히 전환되었으며 당량비에 따른 전환율 또한 100%에 근접하였고, HTO 시스템의 연소실은 좌우측의 온도가 균형을 이루며 열효율이 매우 높아 폐열회수 및 재생이 효율적이었다. 주입 밸브 교체 시간간격과 유입 유량 변화에 따른 HTO시스템에서의 VOCs 제거 효율은, MEK와 Toluene 모두 안정적으로 높은 91.1~97.4%의 효율을 나타내었으며, 보조연료량 증가보다는 밸브교대시간을 길게 하였을때 제거 효율이 증가하는 경향을 보여 보조연료량 증가보다 밸브교대시간을 증가시키는 것이 제거 효율을 높이는데 효율적으로 판단된다. 이와 같은 연구결과를 고려할 때 HTO시스템은 저농에서도 VOCs 제거, 특히 MEK과 Toluene 제거에 매우 안정적이며 콤팩트한 시스템으로 판단되며, 적은 설치 부지로 중소기업이 요구하는 새로운 VOCs 제거 시스템으로 적용 가능하리라 판단된다.

본 논문은 $TiO_2$(Degussa, P-25), 바인더(A-9540) 그리고 용제의 배합비율을 바꾸어 코팅액을 제조하여 알루미늄 금속판에 코팅한 후, 고농도의 IPA를 주입하여 분해효율을 고찰하였다. 고형분 함량 비율 변화에서는 $TiO_2$ 함량은 증가하고 바인더가 감소할수록 좋은 효율을 보였고, 용제는 에탄올과 MEK 두 가지 중에 MEK의 분해효율이 좋았다. 용제(MEK)함량 비율 변화에서는 일정량의 용제가 있을 경우 분해효율이 좋았고, 용제함량이 낮아질 경우 코팅액 점도가 높아지고 건조 후에는 표면이 갈라지는 현상을 보였다. 결국, 용제함량 비율 변화는 바인더 함량 실험에도 영향을 주어 1.75 : 0.25 : 10일 때 가장 좋은 분해효율을 보였다.

The objective of this research is to improve the adsorption capacity of adsorbent made from MSWI (Municipal Solid Waste Incinerator) fly ash by surface oxidation. Used oxidation agents were $HNO_{3}$, $H_{2}SO_{4}$ and $(NH_{4})_{2}S_{2}O_{8}$. These agents can modify the surface property of an adsorbent such as specific surface area, pore volume, and functional group. The surface structure was studied by BET method with $N_{2}$ adsorption. The acid value and base value were determined by Boehm's method. The adsorption properties were investigated with benzene and MEK (Methylethylketone). According to the results, the specific surface area of the adsorbent was increased from 309.2 $m^{2}$/g to 553.2 $m^{2}$/g by $HNO_{3}$ oxidation. But $H_{2}SO_{4}$ and $(NH_{4})_{2}S_{2}O_{8}$ oxidation was decreased slightly. After Oxidation, surface acid value increased, but base value decreased. FAA-N shows the highest acid value. The content of oxygen increased greatly and oxygen group was created on the adsorbent surface. The surface oxidation improved the adsorbing capacity for MEK. The amount of adsorbing MEK was increased from 189 $m^{2}$/g to 639 $m^{2}$/g by $HNO_{3}$ oxidation.

The present study was undertaken to investigate the influence of cardamonin on vascular smooth muscle contractility and to determine the mechanism(s) involved. Denuded aortic rings from male rats were used and isometric contractions were recorded and combined with molecular experiments. Cardamonin significantly relaxed fluoride-, phenylephrine-, and phorbol ester-induced vascular contractions, suggesting that it has an anti-hypertensive effect on agonist-induced vascular contraction regardless of endothelial nitric oxide synthesis. Furthermore, cardamonin significantly inhibited the fluoride-induced increase in pMYPT1 level and phenylephrine-induced increase in pERK1/2 level, suggesting inhibition of Rho-kinase and MEK activity and subsequent phosphorylation of MYPT1 and ERK1/2. This study provides evidence that the relaxing effect of cardamonin on agonist-induced vascular contraction regardless of endothelial function involves inhibition of Rho-kinase and MEK activity.

The aim of present study was to investigate the possible influence and related mechanism of resveratrol on U-46619 (high concentration)-induced vasoconstriction. Agonist-induced vascular smooth muscle contractions involve the activation of thick or thin filament pathway. However, there are no reports addressing the question whether this pathway is involved in resveratrol-induced relaxation in rat aortae contracted with high U-46619. We hypothesized that MEK or Rho-kinase inhibition plays a role in vascular relaxation evoked by resveratrol in rat aortae. Endothelium-denuded arterial rings from male Sprague-Dawley rats were used and isometric contractions were recorded using a computerized data acquisition system. Resveratrol fully inhibited U-46619 in low concentration-induced contraction regardless of endothelial function. However, resveratrol partially decreased U-46619 in high concentration-induced contraction regardless of endothelial function. Interestingly, only in U-46619 (high concentration)-induced contraction, no significant decrease was observed in phospho-ERK1/2 levels and slight decrease in phospho-MYPT1 levels suggesting that additional pathways different from them or endothelial nitric oxide synthesis might be involved in the vasorelaxation. In conclusion, in high U-46619-contracted rat aortae, resveratrol showed relaxation response regardless of endothelial function significantly but slightly decreasing MYPT1 phosphorylation rather than ERK1/2 phosphorylation.
