축류형 혈액펌프에서 발생하는 용혈이 이 펌프의 성공여부를 결정짓는 주요한 요인의 하나이다. 지금까지는 용혈을 알아내기 위해서는 in-vitro 적인 실험에 의하여 용혈량을 추정하였으나, 수치유체해석에 의한 용혈량의 추정이 가능하다고 생각된다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 다양한 형태의 임펠러에 대하여, 난류모델은 k-$\varepsilon$모델을 사용하여 3차원 수치유체역학 해석을 시도하였다. 수치유체해석에 있어서는 펌프 유입측에 입자를 흘려 넣어 이 입자가 매일 10ms마다 받는 난류에너지를 구하여 전단응력으로 환산하였다. 해석결과 전단응력은 주로 임펠러의 후방에서 나타나는 것을 알 수 있었다. 수치유체해석결과의 신뢰성을 확인하기 위하여 임펠러의 in-vitro 실험에 의한 용혈시험 결과를 비교하였으나, 양자 사이에 상관도는 높은 것을 알 수 있었다. 상기한바와 같이 유체 해석에 의한 용혈 예측은 물론 용혈이 발생하는 주요 부위의 예측이 가능함을 시사하고 있어, 축류형 혈액펌프 개발시 용혈 특성 개선을 위한 설계도구로써의 유용함을 확인하였다.

LSM is widely used as a cathode material in SOFC, because of its high electrochemical activity, good stability and compatibility with YSZ electrolyte at high temperature. However, LSM in traditional cathode materials will not generate a satisfactory performance at intermediate temperature. In order to reduce the polarization resistance of cell with the operating temperature of SOFC system, the cathode material of LSCF is one of the most suitable electrode materials because of its high mixed ionic and electronic conductivity. In this report, cathode material, $La_{0.6}Sr_{0.4}Co_{0.2}Fe_{0.8}O_3$ powder for intermediate temperature SOFC was synthesized by Pechini method using the starting materials such as nitrate of La, Sr, Co and Fe including ethylene glycol, etc. As a result, the synthesized powder that calcined above $700^{\circ}C$ exhibits successfully perovskite structure, indicating phase-pure of LSCF. Moreover, the particle size, surface area, crystal structure and morphology of the synthesized oxide powders were characterized by SEM, XRD, and BET, etc. In order to evaluate the electrochemical performance for the synthesized powder, slury mixture using the synthesized cathode material was coated by screen-printing process on the anode-supported electrolyte which was prepared by a tape casting method and co-sintering. Finally, electrochemical studies of the SOFC unit cell, including measurements such as power density and impedance, were performed.

본 연구는 용해도가 낮은 수용성 활성물질인 바이오틴(biotin)의 안정화 및 용해도 증가를 목적으로 나노리포좀을 활용하였다. 이번 실험을 통해 바이오틴 나노리포좀의 안정성에 pH가 큰 영향을 준다는 사실을 확인할 수 있었으며, pH 상승이 바이오틴 활성에 튼 영향을 미치지 않음을 확인하였다. 또한 제타사이저(zetasizer)로 입자크기, 제타전위(zeta potential) 및 다분산지수(polydispersity index)를 측정하여 안정성을 평가하였다. 입자크기는 평균 100 ~ 250 nm, 제타전위 -80 ~ -30 mV로 나노리포좀 제조가 가능함을 확인하였다. 바이오틴 나노리포좀 내의 바이오틴 캡슐화율(capsulation efficiency)을 측정하기 위해 dialysis membrane method (DMM)를 이용하여 평가하였으며, 이를 통해 알지닌을 첨가시킨 바이오틴 나노리포좀이 일반 바이오틴 나노리포좀보다 캡슐화율이 5 배 높은 것으로 측정되었다. 바이오틴 나노리포좀의 경피흡수율을 측정하기 위해 in vitro franz diffusion cell method를 통해 확인하였으며, cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo - TEM)을 통해 바이오틴 나노리포좀이 잘 형성되었는지 확인하였다. 본 논문을 통하여 모발건강과 밀접한 관계가 있는 것으로 소개된 바이오틴을 약물전달체(drug delivery carrier)인 나노리포좀에 캡슐화시켜 기존의 낮은 용해도 및 석출되는 문제를 보완한 바이오틴 나노리포좀을 만들 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The stem extract from Pyrus serotina var has natural antioxidant ability, but the extraction method does not result in a soluble compound in cosmetic formulations. This study investigated the cosmetic efficacy of the Pyrus serotina var stem extract and its epidermis permeation ability when combined with polymer micelles and a cell penetrating peptide. The total concentration of polyphenol compounds was determined to be 103.1644 ± 1.38 mg/g in the ethanol extract and 78.97 ± 1.45 mg/g in the hydrothermal extract. The 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging effects were 55.94 ± 0.22% in the ethanol extract at 1,000 mg/L. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity rates were 104.05 ± 3.28% in the ethanol extract at 62.5 mg/L. The elastase inhibition rate was 67.21 ± 2.72% in the ethanol extract at 1,000 mg/L. An antimicrobial effect was observed in the Propionibacterium acnes strain. In the epidermal permeability experiment, it was confirmed that formulation of the polymer micelle containing the Pyrus serotina var stem extract and cell penetrating peptide (R6, hexa-D-arginine) showed small particle size and much better skin permeability. The cumulative amount of total Pyrus serotina var stem extract that penetrated to the skin over time increased over 24 hours in three formulations. The three formulations showed 51.61 ㎍/㎠ (Formulation 0), 75.97 ㎍/㎠ (Formulation 1) and 95.23 ㎍/㎠ (Formulation 2) skin penetration, respectively. Therefore, it was confirmed that the ethanol extracts of Pyrus serotina var stem showed good cosmetic efficacy and excellent epidermis permeation ability when combined with a polymer micelle and cell penetrating peptide. Thus, this extract has the potential to be used as a safe and natural cosmetic material in the future.

In order for formulation of rectal containing OMZ, the OMZ suppositories were prepared using water-soluble base, PEG 4000 base and oil-soluble base, Witepsol H 15. Chemical stability of OMZ in suppositories was increased when Witepsol H 15 was used as a suppository base and arginine was added as a stabilizer. The decomposition of OMZ in suppository bases followed the first-order kinetics and their rate constants were 0.11 day $^{1}(t_{1/2}$=/6.25 days) for Witepsol H 15 suppository and 0.48 day $^{1}(t_{1/2}$=/1.43 days) for PEG 4000 suppository, respectively. On the other hand, the decomposition rate constants of Witepsol suppository and PEG suppository stabilized with arginine were 3.89$\times$10$^{-3}$(t$_{1/2}$=171.1 days) and 8.76$\times$10$^{-3}$ day $^{1}(t_{1/2}=79.9 days), respectively. Shelf-lives of the Witepsol and PEG suppositories stabilized with arginine were t$_{90%}$=291.8 days and t$_{90%}$=282.1 days at $35^{\circ}C$ and 75% RH, respectively. The dissolution test of OMZ suppositories was performed by rotating dialysis cell(RDC) method and the release rate constant was calculated by the simplified Higuchi's equation, Q'=K' t$^{1/2}$. Dissolution of OMZ from suppositories was augmented as arginine was added, particle size of OMZ was reduced and a suitable surfactant such as SLS was added. RDC method was more appropriate and available than Paddle method to evaluate the dissolution rate of lipophilic-base suppositoies. Arginine was found to be a very useful exipient for the enhancement of stability and dissolution of OMZ in suppositories.

With the aim to improve the specificity and to reduce the cytotoxicity of polyethylenimine (PEI), we have synthesized the conjugates of the branched PEI (25 kDa) with transferrin. The trans-ferrin-PEI (TP) conjugates with five compositions were synthesized using periodate oxidation method and confirmed by FT-IR spectroscopy and gel permeation chromatography. The free amine contents of TP conjugates, which were able to condense and deliver DNA, increased as the amount of PEI increased. TP/DNA polyplexes were characterized by measuring gel elec-trophoresis, ethidium bromide fluorescence quenching, particle size and zeta potential of complexes. Complete complexation of the polyplexes was observed above the N/P ratio of 5 in TP/DNA, and above 3 in PEI/DNA, respectively. The zeta potential of the complexes decreased as the amount of transferrin in TP conjugates increased. Transfection efficiency of TP conjugates was evaluated in HeLa cell and Jurkat cell systems. Among the five compositions of TP conjugates, TP-2 system mediated a higher $\beta$-galactosidase gene expression than PEI system in Jurkat cell which was known to express elevated numbers of transferrin receptors. From the results of the cell viability based on MTT assay, TP conjugates showed lower cytotoxicity com-pared with the PEI system. We expect that the TP conjugate can be used efficiently as a non-viral gene delivery vector.

We analyzed the drift current by charged particles according to the loading methods applied into a closed cell by electronic ink at a reflective-type display panel using an electrophoretic mechanism. For this experiment, various panels were fabricated with injection voltages for electronic ink taking values in the range -4~0 V. The size of each cell was 220 ㎛ × 220 ㎛ and height of the barrier rib was 54.28 ㎛. The electronic ink was fabricated by mixing electrically neutral fluid and single-charge white particles. Drift current was measured by moving charged particles. A biasing voltage of 6 V was applied to the display panel. As a result, the drift current was proportional to the injection voltage for electronic ink, but it decreased in case of an injection voltage above -3 V. Our experimentation ascertained that the concentration of charged particles injected into closed cells is controlled by the injection voltage and the selective injection of charged particles above movable q/m is possible.
