$Na^{+}$는 체내에서 세포외액 (extracellular fluid)의 주요 양이온으로 세포내액과 세포외액은 세포막을 사이에 두고 $Na^{+}$와 $K^{+}$의 높은 농도의 차이를 유지하고 있다. 이러한 농도차이는 세포막에 있는 $Na^{+}$-K$^{+}$ATP ase의 활동에 의하여 유지되며 $Na^{+}$는 체액의 osmolarity와 혈장의 부피 유지, 신경흥분, 근육수축 및 영양소등의 이동에도 중요한 역할을 한다. 체내의 Na balance는 renin-aldosterone system에 의하여 신장에서의 배설조절로 이루어지며, 최근 Na대사에 관여하는 natriuretic hormone이 발견되고 있다. Na의 과잉섭취는 역학적 연구와 동물실험에서 고혈압의 유발인자로 제시되고 있으나, 임상적 연구에서는 Na제한이 혈압강하효과가 있다는 보고와 없다는 보고가 있어 결과가 뚜렷하지 않다. 이는 고혈압 환자중에는 salt-sensitive한 group자 salt-resistant group이 있다는 것과 산업화된 사회들의 Na 섭취량이 이미 너무 높은 수준으로 Na섭취증가와 혈압상승간의 관계를 현재의 연구 방법들로는 찾아내기 어렵다는 ‘saturation effect’로 설명한다. 그러나 Na섭취를 1일 70~100mEq.(NaCl 4.0~5.8g)이하로 줄이면 고혈압 발생이 현저히 감소하고 Na 섭취량이 1일 30mEq.(NaCl 1.7g)이하이면 고혈압은 거의 발생하지 않는다. 그러나 Na섭취가 1일 400mEq.(NaCl 23.2g)이상이 되더라도 인구 중 50~80%는 고혈압에 걸리지 않아 고혈압의 발생은 유전적 인자, 신장 기능의 부족에 의해 지배되고, Na이외에도 K, Ca등의 식이 인자 및 stress, 운동등의 환경적 요인들이 영향을 미친다. Na 섭취량은 자연식품에 들어있는 양 뿐 아니라, 가공과정, 조리가정, 식사 중에 첨가되는 양에 의하여 좌우되므로, Na 섭취량을 측정하기 매우 어렵다. 가장 널리 사용되는 방법은 24시간 소변 중 배설되는 Na의 양으로부터 추정하는 방법으로 우리나라의 경우, 이러한 방법으로 섭취량을 환산할 경우 1일 200~260mEq. (NaCl 11.6~15.1g) 정도이며 이중 80% 이상이 discretionary intake인 것으로 추정된다. 따라서 앞으로 Na섭취를 줄이도록 많은 노력을 기울여야 하겠다.

The water-sewage cohesion agent(polyaluminumchloride(PAC)) and NaOH were used to synthesize $Al(OH)_3$. For various additions of NaOH, characteristics of the synthesized $Al(OH)_3$ was analysed by XRD, SEM and PSA. According to XRD analysis, small amount of NaOH(NaOH:PAC=15g:100g) resulted in amorphous form of $Al(OH)_3$. By increasing NaOH(NaOH:PAC=20g:100g), the mixture of gibbsite(37%), bayerite(35%) and boehmite(28%) were produced. By adding more NaOH(NaOH:PAC=25g:100g), binary mixtures of gibbsite(67%) and bayerite(33%) were formed. Finally, high addition of NaOH(NaOH:PAC=30g:100g) gave the high concentration of gibbsite(gibbsite:bayerite=83:17). Also, SEM analysis indicated that the product featured the plate form with 20 and 30g of NaOH addition. Furthermore it was found that the particle size of the product decreased with the addition of NaOH.

The nuclear magnetic resonance of the $^{23}Na$ nucleus in a $NaBrO_3$ single crystal was investigated at the temperature range of 200 K~410 K. The tendencies of temperature dependence of the nuclear quadrupole coupling for the two magnetically inequivalent Na(I) and Na(II) centers are found to be opposite to each other. The nuclear spin-lattice relaxation mechanism of $^{23}Na$ in the $NaBrO_3$ crystal is investigated, and the result revealed that the Raman process is dominant in the temperature range investigated. The relaxation process of the $^{23}Na$ nuclear spins was well described by a single exponential function in time. The $T_1$ values of the $^{23}Na$ nuclei in the $NaBrO_3$ single crystal decreased with increasing temperature. The calculated activation energy for the $^{23}Na$ is $0.032{\pm}0.002eV$.

This experiment was conducted to investigate effects of NaCl concentration on photosynthetic rate, free proline content and ion content in tobacco. As NaCl concentration was increased growth was retarded. The decrease growth characteristics(shoot/root ratio was 2.0) at 90mM NaCl indicated that this concentration could be a limiting level. As NaCl concentration was increased photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, and water use efficiency were decreased. Photosynthetic rate was highly decreased at 60mM NaCl. There was no significant difference between transpiration rate and water use efficiency. Leaf water potential was decreased as NaCl concentration was increased, in that twice lower at 30mM than that of control and drop largely at 120mM NaCl. Free proline content was increased as NaCl increased until 120mM NaCl and drop at 150mM NaCl. The $Ca^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, and $K^+$ contents were increased until NaCl concentration was 120mM. The $Na^{2+}$ content was slowly increased as NaCl concentration increased until 120mM NaCl, and largely increased at 150mM NaCl. There was no significant difference between $Cl^-$ and NaCl treatments except 30 mM NaCl in which $Cl^-$ content was higher than that of control. As NaCl concentration was increased $K^+/Na^+$ ratio was decreased. The negative correlation between $K^+$ and $Na^+$, and positive correlation between $K^+/Na^+$ and protein content were found.

Aluminum alloy was examined as a material of low weight reactor for hydrolysis of $NaBH_4$. Aluminum is dissolved with alkali, but there is NaOH as a stabilizer in $NaBH_4$ solution. To decrease corrosion rate of aluminum, decrease NaOH concentration and this result in loss of $NaBH_4$ during storage of $NaBH_4$ solution. Therefore stability of $NaBH_4$ and corrosion of aluminum should be considered in determining the optimum NaOH concentration. $NaBH_4$ stability and corrosion rate of aluminum were measured by hydrogen evolution rate. $NaBH_4$ stability was tested at $20{\sim}50^{\circ}C$ and aluminum corrosion was measured at $60{\sim}90^{\circ}C$. The optimum concentration of NaOH was 0.3 wt%, considering both $NaBH_4$ stability and aluminun corrosion. $NaBH_4$ hydrolysis reaction continued 200min in aluminum No 6061 alloy reactor with 0.3 wt% NaOH at $80{\sim}90^{\circ}C$.

The study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of naked neck gene on mortality, cell mediated and humoral immune response in white plumage broiler population. The mortality of homozygous naked neck (Na/Na) broilers (11.71%) was comparatively lower than that of heterozygous naked neck (Na/na) (12.28%) and normally feathered (na/na) (13.59%) broilers. The humoral immune response was measured against (1% v/v) sheep red blood cells (SRBC) for total haemagglutinin (HA) antibody, 2-mercaptoethanol resistance (MER) or (IgG) antibody and 2-mercaptoethanol sensitive (MES) or (IgM) antibody titre on 7 days post-immunization. The titre was expressed as log2 of the highest dilution which shows complete haemagglutination. Total HA titers of Na/Na and Na/na (11.05$\pm$0.53 and 11.09$\pm$0.38) were comparatively higher than that of na/na (10.26$\pm$0.42). The MES antibody titre of Na/Na (8.50$\pm$0.53) and Na/na (7.63$\pm$0.45) broilers were significantly higher as compared to na/na (6.11$\pm$0.32) broilers. The MER titre of na/na genetic group (4.15$\pm$0.42) was significantly higher than Na/Na (2.55$\pm$0.37) and comparatively higher than Na/na (3.45$\pm$0.38) broilers. In vivo cell response to phytohaemagglutinin-P (PHA-P), measured as Foot Index (FI) in mm expressed significantly higher response in Na/na (0.473$\pm$0.05) and Na/Na (0.413$\pm$0.04) broilers as compared to na/na (0.304$\pm$0.03) broilers. The result of present study suggested that white plumage naked neck broilers had better immune response as compared to normally feathered broilers.

This study was performed to investigate the effect of sodium intake on blood pressure and blood parameters. 20 young adult women were fed the diets containing 290.5 mEq (high-Na diet) and 51.3 mEq (low-Na diet) Na for 6 days, respectively. BMI, DBP, and MBP were significantly lower in low-Na diet than those in high-Na diet. 20 subjects were divided into 3 groups according to the salt-sensitivity. In salt-sensitive group, decreases in SBP, DBP, and MBP by low-Na diet were shown. And there were not significant difference in blood pressure of salt-resistant group between high- and low-Na diet. In count-reactive group, MBP in low-Na diet was significantly higher than that in high-Na diet. Hemoglobin, creatinine, uric acid, and haptoglobin levels in serum were significantly higher in low-Na diet than those in high-Na diet. Among groups with different salt-sensitivity, increments of haptoglobin by low-Na diet were shown in salt-sensitive and counter-reactive groups. Actually, low sodium diet affects not only the blood pressure, but other biochemical parameters which in turn affect an individual overall health. Also salt-sensitivity should be considered as an important determinant. Therefore, for the patients who need restricted Na diet, it would be suggested that various biochemical changes and individual salt-sensitivity should be carefully considered along with dietary Na manipulation.

The zeolite X was prepared from the Korean natural clinoptilolite, which contains some mordenite. Thermal treatment removed the clinoptilolite structure from the ore remaining mordenite. The natural clinoptilolites dealuminated with 2N-8N HCI solution and/or thermal treatment were mixed with NaCl, $NaAlO_2$ and NaOH, and reacted to zeolites X at $95^{\circ}C$ for 12~36 hrs. Maximum yield of NaX was obtained for the reactant mixture of 25 gr of natural zeolite acidtreated with 8 N HCI, together with 3.5g NaCl, 8g $NaAlO_2$ and 50 ml of 6N NaOH at $95^{\circ}C$, for 24 hrs.

The PTMSP[Poly(1-trimethylsilyl-1-propyne)]-NaY zeolite composite membranes were prepared by adding 0~50 wt% NaY zeolite to PTMSP. In order to investigate the characteristics of these membranes, we used the analytical methods such as FT-IR, $^1H$-NMR, GPC, DSC, TGA, and SEM. Gas permeation experiments were carried out at $23{\sim}26^{\circ}C$, $2kgf/cm^2$, and the permselectivity of $H_2$ and $N_2$ gases through the composite membranes was studied as a function of the NaY zeolite contents. According to TGA measurements, when NaY zeolite was inserted within the PTMSP, thermal stability of PTMSP was enhanced. Based on SEM observation, NaY zeolite was dispersed in the PTMSP-NaY zeolite composite membrane with a size of $1.5{\mu}m$. The permeability of $H_2$ and $N_2$ through the PTMSP-NaY zeolite composite membranes increased as NaY zeolite content increased. On the contrary, the selectivity($H_2/N_2$) of the PTMSP-NaY zeolite composite membranes decreased as zeolite content increased.

This study was undertaken to investigate the relationship between the $Na^+$ channels of the cardiovascular regulation center and the responses to increased $Na^+$ concentration in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), by observing the effects of icv administration of the agents affecting $Na^+$ transport. Icv infusion of $200\;{\mu}l$ of 1 M NaCl produced hypertension and bradycardia in the urethane-anesthetized rabbit, and the bradycardia was inhibited and reversed to tachycardia by vagotomy. Amiloride, a $Na^+$ transport inhibitor, produced hypertension and bradycardia, which were not altered by vagotomy, and it did not affect the NaCl-induced responses. Benzamil, a derivative of amiloride with higher specificity, neither produced any cardiovascular effects by itself, nor affected the NaCl-induced responses. In vagotomized rabbits, icv amiloride reversed the NaCl-induced tachycardia to a bradycardia, but the bradycardiac effect was not altered by pretreating with NaCl. This study showed that although amiloride and benzamil slightly differ in their cardiovascular action, neither of them did affect the NaCl-induced responses. We suggest that the $Na^+$ channels which are sensitive to amiloride or benzamil in the cardiovascular regulation center are not involved in the NaCl-induced response.
