  • A pilot scale SBR (effective volume, $20m^3$) for the treatment of piggery wastewater treatment was performed with three different kinds of wastewater; fermenter effluent, scraper type and slurry type. The react phase in SBR was performed by sub-cycle operation consisting of repeated short cycle of anoxic-aerobic step. The fermenter effluent was characterized by the rapid nitrification and $NO_X-N$ accumulation due to depletion of organic matter in wastewater. The scraper type wastewater showed appropriate nitrogen removal efficiency, however, a poor response capacity for high loading rate often resulted in increased nitrogen concentration in effluent. Moreover, severe P release was the most serious problem in scraper type wastewater. SBR treated slurry type wastewater with high nitrogen removal efficiency to satisfy effluent quality requirement. It was thought that high concentration of organic matter in slurry made it possible to uptake P during SBR operation, where P concentration of 140mgP/l was decreased to 8mgP/l. As results, SBR was suitable to treat slurry type wastewater which has been discharged to the ocean till now.

  • Oxaliplatin, a third-generation platinum derivative, is the mainstay of current antineoplastic medications for advanced colorectal cancer therapy. However, peripheral neuropathic complications, especially cold allodynia, undermine the life-prolonging outcome of this anti-cancer agent. Rosavin, a phenylpropanoid derived originally from Rhodiola rosea, exhibits a wide range of therapeutic properties. The present study explored whether and how rosavin alleviates oxaliplatin-induced cold hypersensitivity in mice. In the acetone drop test, cold allodynia behavior was observed from days 3 to 5 after a single injection of oxaliplatin (6 mg/kg, i.p.). Cold allodynia was significantly attenuated following rosavin treatment (10 mg/kg, i.p.). Specific endogenous 5-HT depletion by three consecutive pretreatments with parachlorophenylalanine (150 mg/kg/day, i.p.) abolished the analgesic action of rosavin; this effect was not observed following pretreatment with naloxone (opioid receptor antagonist, 10 mg/kg, i.p.). Furthermore, 5-HT1A receptor antagonist WAY-100635 (0.16 mg/kg, i.p.), but not 5-HT3 receptor antagonist MDL-72222 (1 mg/kg, i.p.), blocked rosavin-induced analgesia. These results suggest that rosavin may provide a novel approach to alleviate oxaliplatin-induced cold allodynia by recruiting the activity of 5-HT1A receptors.

  • CO 가스 감지를 위한 두께 500-600 nm $In_2O_3$를 기저 물질로한 박막센서를 rf magnetron 방법을 이용하여 제작하였다. CO가스에 대한 감도 향상 및 -CH가 포함된 탄화수소 가스들과의 선택성을 높이기 위해 전이 금속인 Cobalt 촉매를 rf sputtering을 이용하여 초박막 형태로 0.7-2.8 nm 까지 두께를 조절하여 증착하고 $500^{\circ}C$ 열처리 후 가스 감도 특성을 조사하였다. CO에 대한 감도는 Co 두께 2.1 nm, 작동온도 $350^{\circ}C$에서 가장 우수하였고, $350^{\circ}C{\sim}400^{\circ}C$, Co (1.4 nm) 에서 $C_3H_8$에 대한 감도가 우수함을 알 수 있었다. 광전자 분석법 (x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy;XPS)을 통하여 초박막 Co가 표면이 $Co_2O_3$가 덮어진 CoO 형태로 존재함을 알 수 있었고, $(n-type)In_2O_3$-(p-type)CoO의 p-n junction 이 형성되었음을 확인하였다. 이러한 p-n junction type 가스센서에는 접합 경계면에서 형성된 전하 공핍층 (depletion layer)의 두께 변화에 따른 저항 변화에 의해 환원성 가스에 대한 감응 기구 (sensing mechanism)를 설명할 수 있었다.

  • Nitric oxide has high affinity for iron, and thus it can cause intracellular iron loss. We tested the idea that intracellular iron can be the primary target of NO toxicity by comparing the signaling mechanisms involved in cell death caused by iron depletion and that caused by NO. Treatment of HL-60 cells with a NO donor, S-nitroso-N-acetyl-DL-penicillamine (SNAP), decreased the intracellular iron level rapidly as that observed with the iron chelator deferoxamine (DFO). Iron chelators such as DFO and mimosine could induce death of human leukemic HL-60 cells by a mechanism requiring activation of p38 kinase, c-Jun N-terminal kinase, caspase-3 and caspase-8. DFO and SNAP also caused release of cytochrome c from mitochondria. Inhibition of p38 kinase by a selective inhibitor, SB203580, abolished the NO and DFO-induced cell death, release of cytochrome c, and activation of caspase-3 and caspase-8, thus indicating that p38 kinase lies upstream in the cell death processes. In a parallel situation, the cells that are sensitive to NO showed similar sensitivity to DFO. Moreover, simultaneous addition of ferric citrate, an iron-containing compound, inhibited the SNAP and DFO-induced activation of caspases and also blocked the NO-mediated cell cycle arrest at $G_1$ phase. Collectively, our data implicate that the NO-induced cell death of tumor cells including HL-60 cells is mediated by depletion of iron and further suggest that activation of p38 kinase lies upstream of cytochrome c release and caspase activation involved in this apoptotic process.

  • Ability of water extract from Prunella vulgaris Labiatae to stimulate immune system and inhibit tumor metastasis in mice was assessed. In experimental lung metastasis, prophylactic intravenous (i.v.) administration of water extract from P. vulgaris significantly inhibited lung metastasis in a dose-dependant manner. Peritoneal macrophages stimulated with P. vulgaris produced various cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-$\alpha$ and interlukin (IL)-12 as well as induced tumoricidal activity. In an assay for natural killer (NK) cell activity, i.v. administration of P. vulgaris significantly augmented NK cytotoxicity. The depletion of NK cells by injection of rabbit anti-asialo GM1 serum abolished the inhibitory effect of P. vulgaris on lung metastasis of colon26-M3.1 cells. These data demonstrate that P. vulgaris activate innate immune system to inhibit the growth of foreign materials including tumor cells in mice.

  • This paper describes the electrical characteristics of polycrystalline (poly) 3C-SiC thin film diodes, in which poly 3C-SiC thin films on n-type and p-type Si wafers, respectively, were deposited by APCVD using HMDS, Hz, and Ar gas at $1180^{\circ}C$ for 3 hr. The schottky diode with Au/poly 3C-SiC/Si(n-type) structure was fabricated. Its threshold voltage ($V_d$), breakdown voltage, thickness of depletion layer, and doping concentration ($N_D$) values were measured as 0.84 V, over 140 V, 61nm, and $2.7\;{\times}\;10^{19}\;cm^3$, respectively. The p-n junction diodes fabricated on the poly 3C-SiC/Si(p-type) were obtained like characteristics of single 3C-SiC p-n junction diodes. Therefore, poly 3C-SiC thin film diodes will be suitable microsensors in conjunction with Si fabrication technology.

  • Recently, interest in renewable energy is increasing due to energy depletion and environmental problems. Among them, solar energy is the most popular feature for its infinite, eco-friendly, easy to maintain and high utilization. In these solar power systems, solar cells have either a current-voltage characteristic curve or a power-voltage characteristic curve with non-linear properties. Therefore, the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technique is important to control this. In this thesis, we will discuss MPPT techniques using a boost converter and demonstrate their behavior using the PSIM program. Also, the MPPT control algorithm for solar energy generation will be proposed.

  • $ISnO_2$ thin films were prepared on p-type and n-type Si substrates to research the interface characteristics between $SnO_2$ and substrate. After the annealing processes, the amorphous structure was formed at the interface to make a Schottky contact. The O 1s spectra showed the bond of 530.4 eV as an amorphous structure, and the Schottky contact. The analysis by the deconvoluted spectra was observed the drastic variation of oxygen vacancies at the amorphous structure because of the depletion layer is directly related to the oxygen vacancy. $SnO_2$ thin film changed the electrical properties depending on the characteristics of substrates. It was confirmed that it is useful to observe the Schottky contact's properties by complementary using the XPS analysis and I-V measurement.

  • 연구배경 : 만성폐쇄성폐질환 환자의 체중감소는 질환자체의 자연경과로 이해하고 있었으나, 체중이 감소된 환자들은 다른 질환에 대한 이환율이 증가하고, 폐성심이나 심부전으로 진행하는 경우가 많아 환자의 예후를 결정하는데 있어 중요한 요인으로 생각하게 되었다. 저자들은 생체전기 저항법률 이용하여 만성폐쇄성폐질환 환자의 영양결핍 정도와, 영양결핍과안정시 폐기능과의 관계를 알아보았다. 대상 및 방법 : 만성폐쇄성폐질환으로 입원한 중등도 혹은 중증 환자를 대상으로 급성기에 나타나는 증상이 호전된 후 퇴원하기 직전에 안정시 폐기능, 동맥혈 가스분석, 호흡 근육 강도, 그리고 체성분 분석을 시행하였다. 체생분분석 결과를 영양결핍과 정상상태로 구분하고 이 두 집단의 안정시 폐기능을 비교하였다. 결 과 : 대상 환자의 59%가 영양결핍 상태였으며, 저체증과 제지방량 결핍이 동시에 있는 경우가 31%이었다. 저체중만 있는 경우가 22%이였으며 제지방량 결핍만 있는 경우는 6%로, 전체 환자의 53%가 저체중이었고 37%의 환자가 제지방량 결핍이었다. 1초간 노력성 호기량 및 노력성 폐활량은 영양상태에 따라 차이가 없었으나, 최대호기유량은 영양겹핍환자가 유의하게 낮았다(p<0.05). 기도저항 및 폐 확산능, 그리고 최대흡기압 역시 영양결핍환자가 정상 환자보다 훨씬 낮았다(p<0.05). 동맥혈 산소분압 및 이산화탄소분압은 두 집단사이에 차이가 없었으며, 잔가량 및 총폐용량은 영양상태에 따라 차이는 없었으나, 영양결핍 환자들이 낮은 경향이었다. 결 론 : 영향결핍은 폐기능저하와 밀접한 관계가 있으며, 만성 폐쇄성폐질환 환자의 예후를 결정하는데 중요하게 작용할 것으로 생각된다. 또한 만성폐쇄성폐질환 환자의 치료에 기류제한의 완화 및 급성악화의 조절과 더불어 근육량 및 활동능력을 유지하기 위하여 영양학적인 측면을 고려하여야 할 것으로 생각된다.

  • 연구배경: 적출 흰쥐 심장에서 짧은 기간 동안 칼슘 파라독스를 반복하면(칼슘결핍 및 재투여에 의한 칼슘 전처치, calcium-free preconditioning-calcium depletion and repletion)하면 후속 되는 보다 긴 기간 동안의 허혈에 대하여 재관류시 심장기능 회복 증가, 괴사크기의 감소 등 허혈성 전처치에서 나타나는 것과 유사한 심근보호 효과가 있음이 최근 보고되어 있다. 본 실험에서는 적출 토끼 심장을 이용하여 칼슘결핍용액으로 전처치할 경우 ischemic preconditioning(이하 IP)와 유사한 심근보호 효과가 나타나는가의 유무를 기능 및 형태학적 측면에서 확인하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 체중 1.5∼2.0 kg의 건강한 흰토끼(New Zealand White rabbit)의 적출 심장을 이용하여 Langendorff 방법에 따라 관류하여 일정한 기준치가 유지되면 전체 허혈(5분)-재관류(10분) 1회 실시로 IP를 유도하고 45분 동안 전체허혈후 120분 동안 재관류하였다(IP군, n=7). 대조군(n=7)에서는 IP없이 45분 동안 전체허혈후 120분 동안 재관류를 실시하였다. 칼슘결핍용액 투여 전처치군(n=7)에서는 5분 동안 칼슘결핍용액을 투여 후 10분 동안 칼슘이 포함된 관류액으로 관류하고 45분 동안 허혈을 실시한 후 120분 동안 재관류하였다. 허혈후 재관류 기간 동안 좌심실 기능, 관혈류 등을 측정하였으며 심근괴사 크기는 1% tetrazolium으로 염색하여 형태계측 하였다. 결과는 분산분석(ANOVA)을 실시하여 유의성이 있다고 판정되면 Tukey's post-hoc test로 검정하였다. 결과: 45분 동안 허혈후 LVDP, dP/dt, 관혈류 등은 다른 실험군에 비하여 IP군에서 현저히 증가하였으나 칼슘결핍용액 투여 전처치군에서는 오히려 허혈 대조군에 비하여 현저히 감소하였다. 그러나 칼슘결핍용액 투여 전처치군에서는 IP군에서와 같이 허혈 대조군에 비하여 심근괴사 범위가 현저히 감소되었다. 결론: 이상의 결과로 적출 관류 토끼 심장에서 칼슘결핍용액 투여로 전처치할 경우 후속된 장시간 동안의 허혈에 대하여 좌심실기능 회복 증가는 기대할 수 없으나 심근괴사 범위 한정 등의 보호효과가 있는 것으로 생각된다.
