Objectives In this study, we investigated the biodegradation features of 4 perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) alternatives developed at Changwon National University compared to those of PFOS. Methods Biodegradation testing was performed with microorganisms cultured in the good laboratory practice laboratory of the Korea Environment Corporation for 28 days following the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development guidelines for the testing of chemicals (Test No. 301 C). Results While $C_8F_{17}SO_3Na$, PFOS sodium salt was not degraded after 28 days, the 4 alternatives were biodegraded at the rates of 20.9% for $C_{15}F_9H_{21}S_2O_8Na_2$, 8.4% for $C_{17}F_9H_{25}S_2O_8Na_2$, 22.6% for $C_{23}F_{18}H_{28}S_2O_8Na_2$, and 23.6% for $C_{25}F_{17}H_{32}O_{13}S_3Na_3$. Conclusions $C_{25}F_{17}H_{32}S_3O_{13}Na_3$, $C_{23}F_{18}H_{28}S_2O_8Na_2$, and $C_{15}F_9H_{21}S_2O_8Na_2$ were superior to PFOS in terms of biodegradation rates and surface tension, and thus they were considered highly applicable as PFOS alternatives. Environmental toxicity, human toxicity, and economic feasibility of these compounds should be investigated prior to their commercialization.

반도체 웨이퍼 제조 공정 중 발생하는 질산, 불산, 초산으로 구성된 혼합폐산을 재활용하기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 초기에 $NaNO_3$와 Si powder를 사용하여 불산을 $Na_2SiF_6$로 침전시켜 불소화합물을 제조하였고, 이 때 혼산 중 불산의 농도는 초기 127g/L에서 0.5g/L로 낮아져 불산 회수율은 99.5%였다. $Na_2SiF_6$ 제조 후 남은 혼산의 질산과 초산의 농도는 각각 502g/L, 117g/L였고, 이 혼산에 NaOH를 투입하여 pH=4로 맞춘 후 -440 mmHg, $95^{\circ}C에서 증발농축을 하여 초산 분리 회수하였다. 회수된 초산의 농도는 약 15%였고, 회수율은 85.3% 이상이었다. 또한, 농축여액을 $20^{\circ}C$까지 냉각하여 $NaNO_3$ 결정을 석출시킴으로 질산나트륨을 제조하였고, 그 회수율은 약 93%이상이었다. 제조된 $Na_2SiF_6$와 $NaNO_3$를 $90^{\circ}C$에서 건조시킨 후, XRD 분석한 결과, 순수 $Na_2SiF_6$와 $NaNO_3$만 합성된 것을 확인하였고, 그 순도는 각각 약 97%, 98%로 시판용과 유사하였다.

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.

NaF를 용량별로 Sprague Dawley계 수컷 흰쥐에 경구 투여했을 때, 체중 및 장기 중량, 혈청 지질성분, 혈당 및 단백질 함량과 기본식이를 급여한 대조군인 BD군을 비롯하여 기본식이에 농도별 NaF를 경구 투여한 군들로 나누어 5주간 실험 사육한 결과, 흰쥐의 체중 증가량은 NF25군, NF30군 및 NF50군에서 대조군보다 유의적인 차이를 보이며 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 각 장기무게에서의 변화 중 간장과 심장에서는 대조군에 비해 NaF 경구 투여 군에서 낮게 나타나는 경향이 관찰 되었으며(p<0.05), 폐, 뇌, 신장, 비장 및 고환에서의 각 군의 장기무게는 유의적인 차이가 없었다(p<0.05). 혈청 중 총 콜레스테롤, LDL 콜레스테롤, 유리 콜레스테롤, 중성지방, 인지질, 혈당 농도는 대조군보다 NaF 경구 투여한 군에서 NaF 농도가 높아짐에 따라 증가하였고, HDL 콜레스테롤 농도는 NaF 농도에 따라 점차 감소하는 것으로 관찰되었다. 혈청 중 총 단백질은 NF50군에서 유의적인 차이를 보이며 낮게 나타났으나 나머지 군에서 유의적 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났으며(p<0.05), 알부민 농도와 글로불린 농도 또한 NF50군에서 가장 낮은 결과치로 나타났다. 반면 알부민/글로불린 비는 NaF 농도와 관계가 없는 것으로 관찰되었다. 따라서 일정 이상 농도의 NaF 경구 투여는 흰쥐의 체중 및 지질성분을 증가시키는 것으로 판단되며, 이는 비만 및 이상지질혈증을 초래할 수 있을 것으로 추정된다.

Multi-layered thin films of $Fe_2O_3/Na_3AlF_6/Fe_2O_3/Cu$, Cr, Al were deposited on glass substrate by evaporation process. As high and low refractive index material, $Fe_2O_3$ and $Na_3AlF_6$ were selected and additionally Cu, Al and Cr were chosen as mid reflective layer respectively. Optical properties including reflectance were systematically studied depending on optical thickness of $Na_3AlF_6$ especially $0.25{\lambda}$ and $0.5{\lambda}$. In order to expect the experimental result, the simulation program, the Essential Macleod Program(EMP) was adopted and compared with the experimental data. Based on the results taken by spectrophotometer at viewing angle $45^{\circ}C$, the $Fe_2O_3/Na_3AlF_6/Fe_2O_3/Cu$ show the colour rage between red and orange in $0.25{\lambda}$ and green and pupple in $0.5{\lambda}$ respectively. When the Al was used as mid reflective layers in $Fe_2O_3/Na_3AlF_6/Fe_2O_3$ system, typical yellow colour and mixed colour between green and pupple were appeared in $0.25{\lambda}$ and $0.5{\lambda}$ of $Na_3AlF_6$ respectively. As compared the experimental result to simulation data, it was found out that the experimental data is relatively well matched with the EMP simulation data.

Fluoride has been accepted as an important material for oral health and is widely used to prevent dental caries in dentistry. However, its safety is still questioned by some. Autophagy has been implicated in cancer cell survival and death, and may play an important role in oral cancer. This study was undertaken to examine whether sodium fluoride (NaF) modulates autophagy in SCC25 human tongue squamous cell carcinoma cells. NaF demonstrated anticancer activity via autophagic and apoptotic cell death. Autophagic vacuoles were detectable using observed to form by monodansylcadaverine (MDC) and acridine orange (AO). Analysis of NaF-treated SCC25 cells for the presence of biochemical markers revealed direct effects on the conversion of LC-3II, degradation of p62/SQSTM1, cleavage formation of ATG5 and Beclin-1, and caspase activation. NaF-induced cell death was suppressed by the autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine (3-MA). NaF-induced autophagy was confirmed as a pro-death signal in SCC25 cells. These results implicate NaF as a novel anticancer compound for oral cancer therapy.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of bamboo salts on remineralization effects on subsurface of artificial carious enamel. Methods: Incipient carious enamel was formed in permanent bovine incisors and then specimens were divided into three groups randomly: 3% bamboo salt (BS), 2% (NaF) and the solution of mixed 3% BS and 2% NaF. For remineralization, specimens of each of the three groups were treated for 24 hrs at $37^{\circ}C$ incubator. After treatment, specimens were analyzed using SEM and VHN. Statistical analysis used was one-way ANOVA. Results: In SEM observation, the BS group showed narrower distances between enamel rods than the cases of incipient subsurface caries enamel. The NaF and BS+NaF groups showed that the enamel rods near the surface were destructed, and innumerable round small particles were deposited near the surface of enamel. The BS+NaF group showed more minerals attachment between enamel rods than the cases of other groups. The differences in subsurface microhardness (${\Delta}VHN$) increased all of three groups in total by $80{\mu}m$. The ${\Delta}VHN$ of the BS+NaF group increased significantly more than NaF and BS groups in depth of $50{\mu}m$, $80{\mu}m$. Conclusions: The 3% bamboo salt with 2% NaF solution was found to increase subsurface hardness of incipient caries enamel. Thus, bamboo salt will be used to contribute to prevention on dental caries.

본 논문에서는 양방향 링크의 채널 상태와 트래픽 부하가 비대칭적인 채널에서 네트워크 코딩을 적용하는 기법과 그 방식에 따른 성능에 대해서 살펴본다. 이러한 양방향 링크의 비대칭성을 반영하기 위해 패딩후 네트워크 코딩(Network Coding after Padding: NaP) 방식과 분할 후 네트워크 코딩(Network Coding after Fragmentation: NaF) 방식을 고려한다. NaP 방식은 지금까지 트래픽 부하의 비대칭성만을 반영하기 위해 고려된 바 있으며, 본 논문에서는 실제로 채널의 상태를 동시에 고려할 경우에는 NaP 방식이 갖는 기존의 이득이 오히려 열화되는 것을 보인다. 또한, NaF 방식이 일반적인 양방향 링크 기법뿐만 아니라 NaP 방식보다 항상 성능이 좋다는 것을 보인다.
