This study is focused on the possibility of copper alloy metal fiber for an antimicrobial activity in the water soluble metal working fluids. Electrochemical potential of Cu/Zn ion is -268mV, and easily makes radicals with molecular oxygen. Especially, hydroperoxide radical shows strong toxicity to the strains. Plasma membrane causes conformational change when hydroperoxide radical binds to plasma membrane. Elution of copper ion from copper alloy metal fiber is detected in metal working fluid. As a result antimicrobial activity of copper alloy metal fiber in metal working fluid is superior to that of copper fiber.

The stainless steel sheet which is one of primary barrier components for membrane on LNG ship is ordinarily welded by either TIG or PAW. The weld shapes of acceptant tolerance for membrane construction are scripted by G.T.T.(Gaztransport ＆ Technigaz)‘s rules such as penetration depth, weld throat and weld length etc. This paper presents relationship between weld metal shear strength and weld penetration formed with plasma arc welding. The results show penetration depth is not decisive factor on shear strength, but weld throat and length.

During epididymal transit, mammalian sperm acquire selected proteins secreted by the epididymis. We previously showed that a disintegrin and metalloprotease (ADAM) 7 is expressed specifically in the epididymis and transferred to the sperm surface during epididymal transit. Here, we show that mouse ADAM7 secreted to the epididymal lumen is associated with membranous vesicles known as epididymosomes. Furthermore, we found that ADAM7 can be transferred directly from epididymal vesicles to sperm and that it is an integral plasma membrane protein in sperm. Thus, our study provides new information regarding the unique mode of secretion and interaction of ADAM7 during the epididymis-to-sperm transfer process.

In order to investigate the oligomerization state of the plasma membrane proteolipid apoprotein purified from the bovine kidney, fluorescence polarization experiment was carried out in the two different solvent systems, i.e., water and organic solvent(chloroform-methanol). The molecular volumes of the proteins estimated from the Perrin equation, were to be 45,258$A^3$ and 17,608$A^3$ in water and organic solvent, respectively. These values indicate that a trimerization is possibly occurring in the aqueous environment. As an auxiliary experiment for the calculation of the molecular volume using Perrin equation, fluorescence quenching constants ($K_q$) with the quencher acrylamide and fluorescence lifetimes (${\tau}_F$) of the intrinsic fluorophore tryptophan residue were estimated in the two different solvent systems. $K_q$ in water was 18.21$M^{-1}$ and it was 46.24$M^{-1}$ in organic solvent. Fluorescence lifetimes of tryptophan residue were calculated to be 2.80 nsec. in water and 3.81 nsec. in organic solvent, respectively.

The rat mast cell line RBL-2H3 contains both phospholipase D (PLD)1 and PLD2. Previous studies with this cell line indicated that expressed PLD1 and PLD2 are both strongly activated by stimulants of secretion. We now show by use of PLDs tagged with enhanced green fluorescent protein that PLD1, which is largely associated with secretory granules, redistributes to the plasma membrane in stimulated cells by processes reminiscent of exocytosis and fusion of granules with the plasma membrane.

Intramolecular excimer formation of 1,3-di(1-pyrenyl)propane (Py-3-Py) and fluorescence polarization of 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) were used to investigate the effects of parathyroid hormone (PTH) on the bulk bilayer fluidity of the plasma membrane vesicles isolated from cultured osteoblasts (OB-PMV). In a dose-dependent manner, rat PTH-(1-34) [rPTH-(1-34)] increased the excimer to monomer fluorescence intensity ratio (I'/I) of Py-3-Py and decreased the anisotropy (r) of DPH in OB-PMV. This indicates that PTH increased both the lateral and rotational diffusion of the probes in OB-PMY. Selective quenching of DPH fluorescence by trinitrophenyl groups was utilized to examine the transbilayer fluidity asymmetry of OB-PMV. The anisotropy, limiting anisotropy, and order parameter of DPH in the inner monolayer were 0.024, 0.032, and 0.062 greater than calculated for the outer monolayer of OB-PMY. Selective quenching of DPH fluorescence by trinitrophenyl groups was also utilized to examine the transbilayer effects of PTH on the fluidity of OB-PMV. rPTH-(1-34) had a greater fluidizing effect on the outer monolayer as compared to the inner monolayer of OB-PMV. Thus, it has been proven that PTH exhibits a selective rather than nonselective fluidizing effect within transbilayer domains of OB-PMV.

In the particulate fraction obtained from PKC-down regulated K562 cells by treatment for 24 h with 200nM TPA, phosphorylation of two proteins with molecular weight, 100 kDa and 23 kDa (designated p100 and p23, respectvely) was depleted and addition of exogenous purified PKC to this fraction failed to testore their phosphorylation. However, in the soluble fraction, all of phosphoproteins abolished by long-term treatment with TPA were restored by exogenously added PKC. Phosphorylation of two proteins was increased by short-term tretment (20 min), and diminished with the persistant exposure to TPA as well as at a concentration as low as 1nM. When K562 cells were treated with 1 nM and 200 nM TPA for 24 h, phosphorylation of p100 was restored with or without exogenous PKC on 2-3day and 6day after removal of treated TPA, respectively. Two-dimensional electrophoresis of phosphoproteins revealed that phosphorylated p100 (pl=5.9) and p66 species were completely absent from the particulate fraction of K562 cells treated with 200nM TPA for 24 h. These results suggest that the interaction of sensitive endogenous substrates, p100 and p23 with the plasma membrane might be regulated by PKC-down regulation without displacement to the cytosol and the interaction of p100 with the membrane might be reveersible.

The permeation, solution and diffusion of simple gases ($He, H_2, O_2, N_2$ and CH$_4$) and condensible vapers($CO_2, SO_2, C_2H_4$ and $C_3H_8$), and the mixed gases ($O_2/N_2$ mixtures and $CO_2/CH_4$ mixtures) through composite membrane was studied. Composit membranes were made by deposition of aromatic fluorocarbons onto polymer substrams of porous Celgard in a microwave discharge. In the both cases of simple gases and condensible vapors, as the kinetic molecular diameter of the permeant molecules increased, the permeability decreased. However, when the kinetic molecular dimemr are similar, the condensible vapors showed higher permeabilities than that of permanent gases. The vapor solubility increased with increasing critical temperature of the vapors. However, in the case of propane, despite its high critical temperature, it showed lower solubility than other vapors. The vapor diffusivity decreased with increasing kinetic diameter of the molecule. Compared to conventional polymers, the plasma polymers showed much lower values for vapor diffusivities. The pressure of the permeant did not affect the permeability. The permeability was also not affected by the composition in cases of mixed gases.

A novel self-humidifying composite membrane for the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) at low humidity condition was developed. The $Pt/TiO_2 catalyst particles were synthesized via supercritical impregnation methods. Pt precursor was dissolved in supercritical carbon dioxide and impregnated onto $TiO_2$ particles. Pt precursors were platinum(II) acetylacetonate, Dimethyl(1,5-cyclooctadiene) platinum(II) and we controlled the ratio of Pt to $TiO_2$ The impregnated Pt precursor was converted to $TiO_2$ supported Pt nanoparticle under various reducing conditions. $TiO_2$ catalyst particles were dispersed uniformly into the Nafion solution, and then $Pt/TiO_2/Nafion$composite membrane was prepared using solution-cast method. The size, dispersion and content of the platinum had been characterized with Transmission Electron Micrograph (TEM), X-ray diffract ion (XRD) and Inductively Coupled Plasma - Atomic Emission Spectrometer (ICP-AES). The cell performance with the self-humidifying composite membrane was compared with a recast Nafion membrane under both humidified and dry conditions at 65 $^{\circ}C$.

혈액 속의 글루코우즈의 농도를 측정하기 위해 포스파젠 고분자로 만들어진 진단막을 제조하였다. 혈액 속에 존재할 가능성이 있는 장애성분들이 글루코우즈의 농도측정에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 그러한 물질들 중, ascorbic acid (AA)는 기준 플라즈마 용액보다 3~9% 정도 높은 K/S 결과치를 나타내었고, tolbutamide (TA)는 기준용액보다 11~13% 정도 낮은 K/S 결과치를 나타내었고, triglycerides와 bovine serum albumin (BSA)은 기준용액 보다 20~25% 정도 낮은 K/S 결과치를 나타내었다. 그러나 위의 물질들을 제외하고는 대부분의 장애성분들이 포스파젠 고분자 진단막을 이용한 혈당측정에 큰 영향을 미치지 않는다는 것을 보여 주었다.
