This study aim to investigate the effects of supply of oxygen enhances cerebral activation through increased activation in the brain and using a 3 Tesla fMRI system. Five volunteers (right handed, average age of 21.3) were selected as subjects for this study. Oxygen supply equipment that provides 30% oxygen at a constant rate of 15L/min was given using face mask. A 3 Tesla fMRI system using the EPI BOLD technique, and three-pulse sequence technique get of the true axial planes scanned brain images. The author can get the perfusion images of the brain by oxygen inhalation with susceptibility contrast EPI sequence at the volunteers. Complex movement consisted of a finger task in which subjects flexed and extended all fingers repeatedly in union, without the fingers touching each other. Both task consisted of 96 phases including 6 activations and rests contents. Post-processing was done on MRDx software program by using cross-correlation method. The result shows that there was an improvement in performance and also increased activation in several areas in the oxygen method. These finding demonstrates that while performing cognitive tasks, oxygen administration was due to increase of cerebral activation.

Photodynamic therapy(PDT) is a treatment utilizing the generation of singlet oxygen and other reactive oxygen species(ROS), which selectively accumulate in target cells. The aim of present work is to investigate the photodynamic therapy mechanism of 9-HpbD-a-mediated PDT in HeLa cell lines. We studied the general reactive oxygen species(G-ROS) activation after 9-HpbD-a PDT using fluorescence stain with $H_2DCF-DA$. G-ROS activation observed after 9-HpbD-a PDT and higher activation condition was 1 hour after PDT at 0.5 ${\mu}g/ml$ 9-HpbD-a concentration. Sodium azide and reduced glutathione(the singlet oxygen quencher) could protect HeLa cells from cell death induced by 9-HpbD-a PDT. But D-mannitol(the hydroxyl radical scavenger) could not protect cell death. Singlet oxygen played a decisive role in 9-HpbD-a PDT induced HeLa cell death. Type II reaction was the main type of ROS formation at 9-HpbD-a PDT.

Reduced forms of iron, such as zero-valent ion (ZVI) and ferrous ion (Fe[II]), can activate dissolved oxygen in water into reactive oxidants capable of oxidative water treatment. The corrosion of ZVI (or the oxidation of (Fe[II]) forms a hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) intermediate and the subsequent Fenton reaction generates reactive oxidants such as hydroxyl radical ($^{\bullet}OH$) and ferryl ion (Fe[IV]). However, the production of reactive oxidants is limited by multiple factors that restrict the electron transfer from iron to oxygen or that lead the reaction of $H_2O_2$ to undesired pathways. Several efforts have been made to enhance the production of reactive oxidants by iron-induced oxygen activation, such as the use of iron-chelating agents, electron-shuttles, and surface modification on ZVI. This article reviews the chemistry of oxygen activation by ZVI and Fe(II) and its application in oxidative degradation of organic contaminants. Also discussed are the issues which require further investigation to better understand the chemistry and develop practical environmental technologies.

The characteristics of critical spontaneous ignition of granulated activated carbon were investigated In atmospheres of differing oxygen concentration. At the same concentration the larger vessels yielded the lower critical spontaneous ignition temperature. At the same vessel, as the concentration of oxygen was reduced, Ignition occurred later and at higher ambient temperature, and critical spontaneous ignition temperature increased. The apparent activation energy calculated from the Frank-Kamenetskii's ignition theory appeared to be the slight different value respectively and the mean apparent activation energy was 19850㎈/㏖.

The lattice oxygen mechanism (LOM) is considered one of the promising approaches to overcome the sluggish oxygen evolution reaction (OER), bypassing -OOH^* coordination with a high energetic barrier. Activated lattice oxygen can participate in the OER as a reactant and enables O^*-O^* coupling for direct O₂ formation. However, such reaction kinetics inevitably include the generation of oxygen vacancies, which leads to structural degradation, and eventually shortens the lifetime of catalysts. Here, we demonstrate that Se incorporation significantly enhances OER performance and the stability of NiFe (oxy)hydroxide (NiFe) which follows the LOM pathway. In Se introduced NiFe (NiFeSe), Se forms not only metal-Se bonding but also Se-oxygen bonding by replacing oxygen sites and metal sites, respectively. As a result, transition metals show reduced valence states while oxygen shows less reduced valence states (O^-/O₂^2-) which is a clear evidence of lattice oxygen activation. By virtue of its electronic structure modulation, NiFeSe shows enhanced OER activity and long-term stability with robust active lattice oxygen compared to NiFe.

This study aimed to investigate the hypothesis that administration of the air with 30% oxygen compared with normal air (21% oxygen) enhances cognitive functioning through increased activation in the brain. Seventeen college students (right­handed, average age of 24.3) were selected as subjects for this study. An oxygen supply equipment that provides 21% and 30% oxygen at a constant rate of 8L/min was developed. In order to measure the performance level of visuospatial and verbal cognition, two psychological tests were developed. The experiment consisted of two runs, one for cognition task with normal air (21% oxygen) and the other for cognition task with hyperoxic air (30% oxygen). Visuospatial and verbal tasks were presented while brain images were scanned by a 3T fMRI system using the single-shot EPI method. The results showed that there was an improvement in performance and also increased activation in several brain areas in the higher oxygen condition. These results suggest that while performing cognitive tasks, high concentrations of oxygen administration make oxygen administration sufficient, thus making neural network activate more, and the ability to perform cognitive tasks increase.

Phase formation and oxygen ion conduction of La(Ba)Ga(Mg)O3-$\delta$ system was studied, BaLaGa3O7 and BaLaGaO4 formed as a secondary phase above the solubility limit of Ba2+ in La3+ sites. The oxygen ionic conductivity of La(Ba)Ga(Mg)O3-$\delta$ was 0.1 S/cm 80$0^{\circ}C$ The activation energy of the oxygen ion conduction was dependent on temperature. This value was higher at low temperature than at high temperature.

본 연구에서는 산소지시물질을 이용한 새로운 UV-activation 인쇄형 시간-온도 이력지시계(time temperature integrator; TTI)를 개발하였다. $TiO_2$와 glycerol이 UV activation을 위해서 첨가되었으며 glycerol의 경우 비가역적반응을 위해 첨가량을 23 mg으로 조절하였다. 또한 인쇄적성을 위해 zein 함량 0.8 g, 90% ethanol 함량 4.0 g으로 조절하였고 silk screen의 mesh는 250 mesh일 때 최적의 인쇄성상을 나타내었다. 서로 다른 커버필름(PE, PET, OPP, and LLDPE)을 이용하여 색변화속도와 온도의존성을 측정하였다. 각 필름의 $E_a$를 측정한 결과 OPP, PE, LLDPE의 경우 60.07-84.47 kJ/mol의 $E_a$를 나타내어 TTI로서의 적용가능성을 확인할 수 있었다. 반면 PET의 경우 $E_a$가 15.76 kJ/mol으로 적용성이 떨어지는 것으로 판단되었다. 또한 커버필름의 두께의 경우 $E_a$에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났으며 annealing한 필름은 고분자 구조의 변화로 인해 산소 투과도가 annealing하지 않은 동종의 필름보다 PET의 경우 29.8%, PVC의 경우 60.7% 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 새롭게 개발된 UV-activation 인쇄형 TTI는 다양한 커버필름을 통해 산소 투과도와 $E_a$를 조절할 수 있었고 annealing을 통하여 추가적으로 산소 투과도를 조절할 수 있어 다양한 유효기간을 갖는 식품에 광범위하게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

의료용 갈바닉형 산소센서를 이용하여 BOPP, OPP 및 CPP 막의 두께와 온도 변화에 따른 산소 투과 특성을 연구한 결과, 전류와 산소농도의 탁월한 선형관계 (R＞0.999)로부터 구한 산소 투과도는 BOPP ＞ OPP ＞ CPP의 순으로 막의 두께에 의존하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 전기화학적 산소투과도 측정방법은 기존의 압력법에 비하여 간편한 실험방법임을 확인하였다 한편, 산소 투과도에 대한 활성화에너지는 13.1 kJ/mol에서 28.5 kJ/mol 사이의 값으로, 각 막에 따라 다른 값을 나타냈지만 같은 종류의 막에서 두께에 의존하지는 않았다. 이는 고분자의 활성화 에너지는 고분자가 갖고 있는 고유의 물성에 의존하기 때문인 것으로 추정된다.

본 연구에서는 공간 과제 수행 시 21%의 산소 농도와 30%의 고농도 산소 공급이 변연계의 활성화에 어떠한 변화를 유발하는지 관찰하였다. 총 8명의 오른손잡이 남자 대학생을 본 연구의 실험 참여자로 선정하였다. 공간 과제를 수행하는 동안 3T MRI 를 이용하여 뇌기능 영상을 획득하였다. 실험은 21%의 일반 공기 중의 산소 농도와 30%의 고농도 산소를 각각 공급하면서 공간 인지 과제를 수행하는 두 개의 회기로 구성된다. 변연계를 대상이랑(cingulate gyrus), 시상(thalamus), 변연엽(limbic lobe), 시상하부(hypothalamus), 해마(hippocampus), 해마방회(parahippocampa gyrus), 편도(amygdala), 유두체(mammilary body)의 8 개의 영역으로 분리하여 뇌 활성화 영역을 비교하였다. 공간 과제 수행 시 두 가지 산소 농도에 따른 변연계의 활성화 영역은 거의 동일하였다. 그러나 21%의 산소 농도에 비해 30%의 고농도 산소 공급 시 대상이랑(cingulate gyrus)과 시상(thalamus) 영역에서 활성화가 증가하였다. 즉, 30%의 고농도 산소 공급 시 공간 인지 수행 능력의 증가는 공간 인지 처리와 관련이 있는 대뇌 피질 뿐만 아니라 시상(thalamus)과 대상이랑(cingulate gyrus) 같은 피질하 영역에서의 신경 활성화의 증가와도 관련이 있는 것으로 판단된다.
