The most failure mode of PEM fuel cell is gas crossover caused by pinhole formation in MEAs. The degradation phenomena of MEA with pinholes were evaluated in various accelerated operation condition, such as OCV, low humidity and high partial pressure of oxygen. The performances of MEA with pinholes were almost same before and after normal 144 hours operation($70^{\circ}C$, $640mA/cm^2$, 65%RH $H_2/air$). The results of accelerated operation showed that OCV and low humidity condition more deteriorated MEA than gas crossover owing to pinholes. When oxygen was used as cathode gas, the pinholes of MEA were enlarged due to heat of combustion reaction on Pt catalyst of electrodes. This combustion reaction occurred at pinholes near gas inlet and resulted in local MEA failure.

호기성 미생물 고정화를 위해 새로 개발한 평판형막 생물 반응기(FMBR)을 개발하여Aspergillus niger (KCTC 1232)로부터의 구연산 생산을 연구하였다. 반응기는 삼단으로 구성되어 있으며 상층부에는 산소 공급을 위한 공기흐름이 있고 주층부에는 미생물이 고정화되어 있으며 하층부에는 배지가 연속적으로 공급된다. 배지의 초기 pH는 구연산 생성에 있어서 중요한 영향을 미치며 pH가 낮을수록 구연산 생산수율이 높았다. 산소원으로 공기와 순수산소를 이용하여 생산성은 각각0.20, 0.40h/Lh에 달하였다. EH한 배지의 공급속도가 높을수록 생산성이 어느 정도 증가함을 알 수 있었다.

벤질 치환기를 포함하는 질소-산소 혼합 주개 거대고리 리간드와 Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Pb(II) 그리고 Ag(I)와의 상호작용에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 95% 메탄올 용액에서 각 착물의 안정도 상수를 전위차 적정법을 통해 결정하였으며 또한 이들 거대고리 리간드를 포함하는 액체막을 통하여 금속 이온의 이동을 조사하였다. 그 결과 Cu(II)와 Ag(I) 이온의 경우만 사용한 두 리간드와 안정한 착물을 형성하는 것으로 조사되었으며 액체막 이동 실험에서는 Ag(I) 이온의 선택적 이동이 일어남을 확인하였다.

Disulfiram (DSF) is a member of the dithiocarbamate family that can bind copper. Recent studies have shown that DSF has anti-cancer activities, but the mechanism has not been clarified. Therefore, it is important to study the action mechanism of DSF to maximize its anticancer effects. A human leukemia cell line, HL-60, was used in this study. HL-60 cells were treated with DSF and the cellular metabolic activity was measured. DSF increased the cell death of HL-60 cells in annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate/propidium iodide staining analysis. In addition, DSF decreased the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) of the HL-60 cells. The cytotoxicity of DSF on HL-60 cells was observed at 0.4 μM. Interestingly, the reduction of MMP by DSF was recovered by N-acetyl-L-cysteine, an inhibitor of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. This suggests that the decrease in MMP by DSF is closely related to the production of ROS in HL-60 cells, which indicates the relationship between the apoptosis of HL-60 cells by DSF and the role of the mitochondria. This study provides clinicians and researchers with valuable information regarding the anti-cancer activity of DSF in terms of the action mechanism.

졸-겔 공정은 비교적 간단하고 사용이 편리하며 저렴한 설비투자비가 소요되면서도 우수한 물성 및 차단특성을 갖는 코팅 박막을 얻을 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 졸-겔 공정으로 코팅된 필름은 산소 등의 영향에 의해 부패되기 쉬운 식품, 음료, 약품, 의약품 등의 포장재나 단열제로 응용 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 aluminum isopropoxide를 출발물질로 하여 alumina sol을 제조한 후 실란 커플링제를 첨가하여 코팅 용액을 제조하였다. 또한, 제조된 alumina sol 용액을 이축연신 폴리프로필렌(BOPP)에 코팅하여 복합 필름을 만들고 산소 투과 특성을 측정한 결과 순수한 BOPP에 비해서 산소 투과도가 약 85% 정도 감소되는 효과를 보였다.

The present work proposes a simple electrochemical method applicable to any immobilization processes of oxidase using a Clark type oxygen electrode as a base transducer. The present work suggests an optimal immobilization technique among three different methods of glucose oxidase(GOD) onto one side of $37[\mu}$mthick blend membranes, composed o 80% of cellulose triacetate and 20% of polycaprolactone, on the basis of the maximum Michaelis-Menten parameter(Vm) determined by either steady state or transient analyses. The electrode system was made of disk type gold cathode(4mm diameter) and Ag/AgCl anode. One side of the blend membrane was in contact with the cathode surface while the other side was immobilized with GOD either in covalent-bond or cross-linked forms, the latter being covered by $25{\mu}$m thick dialysis membrane of cellulose acetate. The resultant current density was on-line monitored by a potentiostat while glucose level was varied from 1 to 20 mM. The present study shows that direct cross-linking of GOD with glutaraldehyde was mostly preferred for fabrication of glucose sensor, on the basis of resultant kinetic parameters from either steady state or transient analyses.

Recently, enormous research efforts have been focused on the development of non-precious catalysts to replace Pt for electrocatalytic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), and to reduce the cost of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). In recent years, heteroatom (N, B, and P) doped carbon nanostructures have been received enormous importance as a non-precious electrode materials for oxygen reduction. Doping of foreign atom into carbon is able to modify electronic properties of carbon materials. In this study, nitrogen and boron doped carbon nanostructures were synthesized by using a facile and cost-effective thermal annealing route and prepared nanostructures were used as a non-precious electrocatalysts for the ORR in alkaline electrolyte. The nitrogen doped carbon nanocapsules (NCNCs) exhibited higher activity than that of a commercial Pt/C catalyst, excellent stability and resistance to methanol oxidation. The boron-doped carbon nanostructure (BC) prepared at $900^{\circ}C$ showed higher ORR activity than BCs prepared lower temperature (800, $700^{\circ}C$). The heteroatom doped carbon nanomaterials could be promising candidates as a metal-free catalysts for ORR in the PEMFCs.

The comparisons between measured performance of lab-scale PEMFC and calculation were conducted to understand the detail phenomena of PEMFC for the various inlet oxygen humidity of cathode side. Experiments were performed at $65^{\circ}C$ operation temperature and different inlet humidity conditions such as 40%, 60% and 80%. We used the MEA manufactured by oneself which include $Nafion^{(R)}$ 112 membrane, Nafion solution 20%, and carbon paper(E-TEK). As a result of this experiment, cell performance was getting higher by increasing inlet humidity condition at cathode side because ion conductivity of electrolyte membrane is increased. A 3D CFD simulation model of PEMFC was developed using commercially available CFD code that is one of the STAR-CD module, es-pemfc under same operating conditions. Model calculations results were compared with experimental ones on the polarization curves and calculation results are in good agreement with the experimental ones. Local water distribution and current density inside PEMFC are discussed in detail.

The present study was conducted to compare the voltage generation in two-chamber microbial fuel cells (MFCs) with a biocathode where nitrate and oxygen are used as a terminal electron acceptors (TEA) and to investigate the nitrogen removal and the electrochemical characteristics depending on the separators of the MFCs for denitrification. The maximum power density in a biocathode MFC using an anion exchange membrane (AEM) was approximately 40% lower with the use of nitrate as a TEA than when using oxygen. The MFC for denitrification using an AEM allows acetate ($CH_3COO^-$) as a substrate and nitrate ($NO_3{^-}$) as a TEA to be transported to the opposite sides of the chamber through the AEM. Therefore, heterotrophic denitrification and electrochemical denitrification occurred simultaneously at the anode and the cathode, resulting in a higher COD and nitrate removal rate and a lower maximum power density. The MFC for the denitrification using a cation exchange membrane (CEM) does not allow the transport of acetate and nitrate. Therefore, as oxidation of organics and electrochemical denitrification occurred at the anode and at the cathode, respectively, the MFC using a CEM showed a higher coulomb efficiency, a lower COD and nitrate removal rate in comparison with the MFC using an AEM.

Objectives : This study is to investigate whether Carthami flos exhibits a synergistic effect on the apoptotic effect of doxorubicin on human gastric cancer cells. Methods : We used AGS, a human gastric cancer cell line. To investigate the apoptotic efficacy of doxorubicin and Carthami flos, MTT and CCK-8 methods were used. To confirm apoptosis, cell cycle and mitochondrial membrane potential changes were confirmed. To investigate the mechanism of apoptosis, the reactive oxygen species (ROS) experiment was performed. Results : 1. Doxorubicin or Carthami flos induced cell death in the human gastric cancer cell line AGS. 2. Carthami flos showed a synergistic effect of cell death by doxorubicin. 3. The cell cycle and mitochondrial membrane potential changes revealed that cell death was apoptosis. 4. Apoptosis was related to reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Conclusions : This result shows the anticancer synergistic effect of Carthami flos in gastric cancer cells, and is considered to be an important basis for the development of anticancer drugs for Carthami flos.
