미생물학적 황산염 환원은 황산염을 전자수용체로 이용하는 황산염 환원 박테리아에 의해 황산염이 황화이온으로 변환되는 과정이다. 형성된 황화이온은 주변의 용존 금속 이온과 결합하여 용해도가 낮은 금속 황화물로 침전된다. 이 연구에서는 비소와 중금속으로 오염된 송천 금은광산 일대 토양을 대상으로 하여 토착 박테리아에 의한 황산염 환원을 유도함으로써 독성 원소의 원위치 고정화 기술의 효율성을 평가하였다. 왕수 분해 결과, 대상 토양 내 비소, 구리, 납의 함량은 각각 1,311 mg/kg, 146 mg/kg, 294 mg/kg 등으로 나타나 특히 비소의 오염이 심각한 상태였다. 회분식 실험 결과, 미생물학적 황산염 환원에 의하여 pH 증가, 산화환원전위 감소, 황산염 함량 감소, 비소와 구리 함량 감소 등이 관찰되었다. 이 때 가장 높은 중금속 침전 효율을 유도하는 탄소원과 황산염의 농도 범위는 각각 0.2~0.5%, 100~200 mg/L로 나타났다. 미생물학적 또는 화학적으로 황화물 침전을 유도하게 고안된 컬럼 실험 수행 결과, 비소와 구리는 두 컬럼에서 모두 98% 이상 제거되었다. 그러나 산소를 다량 포함한 용액을 주입한 후, 화학적으로 황화물 침전을 유도한 컬럼에서는 즉각적인 비소와 구리의 재용출 현상이 나타났으나, 미생물학적 황산염 환원을 유도한 컬럼에서는 침전물이 30일 이상 장기간 안정성을 보였다. 미생물학적 컬럼 내에 형성된 검은색 침전물을 분석한 결과 FeS와 CuS로 나타났으며 비소는 대부분 철 황화물에 흡착되어 있는 것으로 확인되었다.

Objective: This study aims to analyze cost-effectiveness of two most-commonly used statins from the perspective of the Korean national health system. Methods: The scope of the analysis included rosuvastatin (5 mg, 10 mg, and 20 mg) and atorvastatin (10 mg, 20 mg, 40 mg, and 80 mg). Effectiveness was defined as percentage (%) and absolute (mg/dL) reductions of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) from the baseline. They were derived from published randomized controlled studies for rosuvastatin and atorvastatin. Effectiveness was defined as reductions in LDL-C levels per mg dose of the drugs. The annual direct medical costs including drug acquisition costs and monitoring costs over the one-year time horizon were calculated for each alternative. The average cost-effectiveness ratios (ACERs) and incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) for each statin dose were calculated. Results: The ACERs for all doses of rosuvastatin (5 mg, 10 mg, and 20 mg) were lower than those for all doses of atorvastatin (10 mg, 20 mg, 40 mg, and 80 mg). Rosuvastatin 10 mg was the most cost-effective statin for LDL-C reduction. In cost-effectiveness analyses for corresponding doses of rosuvastatin and atorvastatin, rosuvastatin was the superior strategy which suggests both higher effectiveness and lower costs than atorvastatin. However, we have to consider this analysis is highly influenced by current price of statins in each market. Conclusion: For reduction of LDL-C levels in Korean patients with dyslipidemia, rosuvastatin 10mg is the most cost-effective statin in the current Korean market.

In this work, the 1L grade integrated metal DOC/DPF filter that can install in engine manifold position was developed to investigate the effect of platinum-coating amount of filter on the improvement of filter activation temperature and reduction of particulate matter (PM). This filter was installed in 2.9L CI engine which meets the EURO-4 emission regulation. Tests for PM reduction efficiency of filter were conducted under ND-13 mode with full-load test condition. It was revealed that the time to reach the activation temperature of metal filter ($280^{\circ}C$) was shorter as the amount of platinum-coating increased. This short activation time can be helpful for the reduction of CO and HC emissions during cold start condition. At the same time, PM reduced as the coating amount increased. The reduction percentage of $DOC_{40}$, $DOC_{20}$, and $DOC_0$ were 96.7% (2.34 mg/kW'h), 95.1% (3.47 mg/kW'h), and 94.5% (3.69 mg/kW'h) compared to previous result (71.4 mg/kW'h), respectively.

The promotion effects of noble metals upon the activity and reducibility in steam methane reforming over $Ni/MgAl_2O_4$ catalysts were investigated. While $Ni/MgAl_2O_4$ catalysts require the pre-reduction by $H_2$, the noble metal-added catalysts show high catalytic activities without pre-treatment. According to $CH_4$-TPR, the addition of noble metal makes the $Ni/MgAl_2O_4$ catalyst easily reducible. The reduction degree of NiO in the noble metal-added catalysts after using at $650^{\circ}C$ without pre-reduction was $15{\sim}20%$, and was lower than that in the $H_2$-reduced $Ni/MgAl_2O_4$ catalyst(reduction degree=27%). The enhancement of the catalytic activity over noble metal-added catalysts results from easier reducibility by addition of noble metal and the synergy effect between noble metal and Ni.

본 연구에서는 하수가 관거를 유하하면서 물리, 화학, 생물학적 반응을 통하여 오염물질이 제거되는 특성을 평가하기 위하여 실제 관거를 대상으로 상, 하류수질변화를 분석하고 관거 퇴적물의 입경변화와 오염물함유량을 평가하였다. 상류와 하류가 2.4 km 떨어진 두 지점에서 24시간 연속 채취된 시료에 대한 DOC 분석결과 상하류의 농도차이는 $-5.8{\sim}18.6\;mg/L$의 범위를 보였다. 상류측 평균 DOC농도를 기준으로 8.4%가 감소하였으며, 관거길이당 감소율은 2.3 mg/L/km, 평균체류시간에 의한 감소율은 0.093 mg/L/min으로 나타났다. SS의 경우 상류와 하류간의 수질차는 $-10.5{\sim}34.6\;mg/L$, 평균 SS 농도차는 13.3 mg/L, 상류수질을 기준으로 10.4%정도 감소하였으며 관거길이당 감소율은 5.5 mg/L/km, 평균체류시간에 의한 감소율은 0.22 mg/L/min으로 DOC에 비하여 약 2배 정도 높은 감소율을 나타내었다. 침입수/유입수를 고려하여 DOC, SS의 누적오염부하를 비교한 결과, DOC의 경우 일누적오염부하를 기준으로 상류 1,230 kg/d, 하류 1,167 kg/d으로 5.2%가 감소하였고, SS의 경우 상류 2,371kg/d, 하류는 2,186 kg/d로 7.8% 감소하였다. 이러한 결과는 하수를 처리장까지 수송하튼 관거시스템내에서 오염부하의 일부가 제거되고 있음을 보여주는 것이며, 하수처리장의 설계 및 운영시 관거를 통한 감소영향을 고려하는 것이 필요함을 알 수 있다.

Membrane biofouling impedes wide application of membrane bioreactor (MBR) for wastewater treatment. Recently, quorum sensing (QS) mechanisms are accounted for one of major mechanisms in biofouling of MBRs. In this study, vanillin was applied to investigate reduction of biofouling in MBRs. MBR sludge was analyzed to contain QS signal molecules by cross-feeding biosensor assay and HPLC. In addition, the inhibitory activity of vanillin against bacterial quorum sensing was verified using an indicator strain CV026. The vanillin doses greater than 125 mg/L to 100 mL of MBR sludge showed 25% reduction of biofilm formed on the membrane surfaces. Two MBRs, i.e., a typical MBR as a control and an MBR with vanillin, were operated. The TMP increases of the control MBR were more rapid compared to those of the MBR with the vanillin dose of 250 mg/L. The treatment efficiencies of the two MBRs on organic removal and MLSS were maintained relatively constant. Extracellular polymeric substance concentrations measured at the end of the MBR operation were 173 mg/g biocake for the control MBR and 119 mg/g biocake for the MBR with vanillin. Vanillin shows great potential as an anti-biofouling agent for MBRs without any interference on microbial activity for wastewater treatment.

In this study, we investigate whether arsenite-induced DNA damage leads to p53-dependent premature senescence using human glioblastoma cells with p53-wild type (U87MG-neo) and p53 deficient (U87MG-E6). A dose dependent relationship between arsenite and reduced cell growth is demonstrated, as well as induced ${\gamma}H2AX$ foci formation in both U87MG-neo and U87MG-E6 cells at low concentrations of arsenite. Senescence was induced by arsenite with senescence-associated ${\beta}$-galactosidase staining. Dimethyl- and trimethyl-lysine 9 of histone H3 (H3DMK9 and H3TMK9) foci formation was accompanied by p21 accumulation only in U87MG-neo but not in U87MG-E6 cells. This suggests that arsenite induces premature senescence as a result of DNA damage with heterochromatin forming through a p53/p21 dependent pathway. p21 and p53 siRNA consistently decreased H3TMK9 foci formation in U87M G-neo but not in U87MG-E6 cells after arsenite treatment. Taken together, arsenite reduces cell growth independently of p53 and induces premature senescence via p53/p21-dependent pathway following DNA damage.

The effects of Mg and Cu amounts on the casting characteristics and tensile property of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys were investigated for the development of high strength aluminium alloys for gravity mold casting. Increase of copper amounts in Al-6%Zn-3%Mgy% Cu alloys resulted in reduction of the fluidity of these alloys and had little effects on the tensile property of these alloys. Increase of magnesium amounts from 1.0wt% to 3.3wt% in Al-6%Zn-x%Mg-0.5%Cu alloys resulted in reduction of the elongation of these alloys from 12% to 3% and increase of the tensile strength of these alloys from 340MPa to 450MPa, but had little effects on the fluidity of these alloys.
