The effect of antioxidants on photochemical reaction of pefloxacin by UVB (290~320 nm) was investigated and the possible mechanism of phototoxicity on the skin was also studied. The photo-degradation of pefloxacin by UVB was suppressed by cysteine, reduced glutathione and ascorbic acid, but was promoted by ${\alpha}-tocopherol$. Squalene, accounts for more than 10% of skin surface lipids, was peroxidized by pefloxacin through both radical and singlet oxygen mechanism.

Aldehyde and active form of free oxygen produced in alcohol metabolism in liver are the cause of liver cell damage. The main system of alcohol metabolism is composed of alcohol dehydrogenase(ADH), aldehyde dehydrogenase(ALDH) and cytochrome P4502E1. Alcohol dehydrogenase is reversible in alcohol metabolism. To block the backward reaction and enhance alcohol oxidation, acetaldehyde trapping agents were assayed. The assay was carried out by measuring decreasing NADH at 340nm, using acetaldcehyde and NADH as substrate and coenzyme respectively. (omitted)

We report here the results on N-acetyl-N"-methylamide of oxazolidine (Ac-Oxa-NHMe) calculated using the ab initio molecular orbital method with the self-consistent reaction field (SCRF) theory at the HF level of theory with the 6-31 +G(d) basis set. The displacement of the $\gamma$-$CH_2$ group in proline ring by oxygen atom has affected the structure of proline, cis-trans equilibrium, and rotational barrier. The up-puckered structure is found to be prevalent for the trans conformers of the Oxa amide. (omitted)

It is well known that oxygen radicals induce neuronal cell damage by initiation of lipid peroxidation chain reaction. Recent work has been also demonstrated that enzymatically generated free radicals cause the release of glutamate and aspartate from cultured rat hippocampal slices.(omitted)

Citrate process로 제조한 $La_{1-x}Ca_xCoO_3$에서 Ca이 20mole% doping된 perovskite oxide가 산소환원반응에 대해 가장 높은 전류밀도와 specific activity를 보여주었으며 cyclic voltammogram에서 carbon만으로 제조된 전극에서보다 carbon과 Perovskite oxide를 혼합한 전극에서 높은 산소흡착/탈착전류를 보였다. 입자크기분포와 소결효과에 의해 $900^{\circ}C$, 5시간 공기중에서 소결한 $La_{0.8}Ca_{0.2}CoO_3$가 산소환원반응에 대한 전기화학적 촉매특성이 우수하였다.

본 논문에서는 비 산화물인 불소화합물 게이트절면막을 이용하여 박막반도체 다이아몬드 MS계면(Metal-Insulator-Semiconductor Interface)의 전기적 안정화를 실현하였다. 특히 산소 게터링 효과(Oxygen-Gettering Effect)에 의한 표면준위 억제를 통해, 박막반도체 다이아몬드 MIS계면에 있어서 최적의 전기적 특성을 부여하는 BiF2 게이트절연막을 개발하였다. 본 논문의 결과에 의하면, BaF$_2$ 게이트 절연막을 이용하여 제작한 A1/BaF2/diamond MIS 다이오드와 MISFET(Metal-Insulator-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor)로부터 저농도의 ~10101/$\textrm{cm}^2$ eV의 표면준위밀도가 관측되었고, 그리고 이제까지 발표된 다이아몬드 박막반도_체 FET중 최고치인 400 $\textrm{cm}^2$/Vs의 유효이동도가 관찰되었다.

Effects of surface defect distribution on flame instability during flame-surface interaction are experimentally investigated. To examine the chemical quenching phenomenon, we prepared thermally grown silicon oxide plates with well-defined defect density. Ion implantation was used to control the number of defects, i.e. oxygen vacancies. In an attempt to preferentially remove the oxygen atoms from silicon dioxide surface, argon ions with low energy level from 3keV to 5keV were irradiated at the incident angle of $60^{\circ}C$. Compositional and structural modification of $SiO_2$ induced by low-energy $Ar^+$ ion irradiation has been characterized by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). The analysis shows that as the ion energy increases, the number of structural defect also increases and non-stoichiometric condition of $SiO_x(x{\le}2)$ plates is enhanced. From the quenching distance measurements, we found out that when the surface temperature is under $300^{\circ}C$, the quenching distance decreases on account of reduced heat loss; as the surface temperature increases over $300^{\circ}C$, however, quenching distance increases despite reduced heat loss effect. Such aberrant behavior is caused by heterogeneous chemical reaction between active radicals and surface defect sites. The higher defect density, the larger quenching distance. This results means that chemical quenching is governed by radical adsorption and can be parameterized by the oxygen vacancy density on the surface.

For the fabrication of high efficient bifunctional electrocatalyst of oxygen electrode for PEM URFC (Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Unitized Regenerative Fuel Cell), which is a promising energy storage and conversion system using hydrogen as the energy medium, several bifunctional electrocatalysts were prepared and tested in a single cell URFC system. The catalysts for oxygen electrode revealed fuel cell performance in the order of Pt black > PtIr > PtRuOx > PtRu ~ PtRuIr > PtIrOx, whereas water electrolysis performance in the order of PtIr ~ PtIrOx > PtRu > PtRuIr > PtRuOx ~ Pt black. Considering both reaction modes PtIr was the most effective elctrocatalyst for oxygen electrode of present PEM URFC system. In addition, the water electrolysis performance was significantly improved when Ir or IrOx was added to Pt black just 1 wt.% without the decrease of fuel cell performance. Based on the catalyst screening and the optimization of catalyst composition and loading, the optimum catalyst electrodes for PEM URFC were $1.0mg/cm^2$ of Pt black as hydrogen electrode and $2.0mg/cm^2$ of PtIr (99:1) as oxygen electrode.

다양한 응용분야에서 활용될 수 있는 고체고분자연료전지의 경우 현재 상용화에 가장 큰 걸림돌이 되고 있는 것이 고가의 백금 촉매이다. 따라서 특히 최근 들어 산소환원반응에서 백금을 대체하는 물질을 개발하기 위한 연구가 전세계적으로 확산되고 있다. 그러나 촉매 개발 시 경제성 관점 외에 내구성도 고려해야 하는데, 이런 관점에서 백금과 유사한 물성과 활성이 기대되는 백금족 원소들이 한 대안이 될 것이다. 가장 백금과 유사한 물성, 활성을 나타내는 팔라듐과 칼코겐화물 형태의 루테늄이 지금까지 가장 많이 연구가 되었으며 상대적으로 이리듐, 로듐, 오스뮴은 산소환원 촉매로 많은 연구가 되지 않았다. RDE (rotating disk electrode)를 이용한 반쪽전지 실험이나 연료전지 MEA (membrane electrode assembly) 운전을 통하여 백금과 활성을 비교해보면 팔라듐 계열의 비백금 촉매가 가장 백금에 가까운 활성을 나타내고 있음을 알 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 각 백금족 원소들 기반의, 현재까지 문헌상으로 보고된 촉매조성들을 분석하여 비백금 산소환원 촉매 개발에 도움이 되고자 한다.

Studies on hypoxia-signaling pathways have revealed novel Fe(II) and $\alpha$-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases that hydroxylate prolyl or asparaginyl residues of a transactivator, Hypoxia-Inducible $Factor-\alpha(HIF-\alpha)$ protein. The recognition of these unprecedented dioxygenases has led to open a new paradigm that the hydroxylation mediates an instant post-translational modification of a protein in response to the changes in cellular concentrations of oxygen, reducing agents, or $\alpha$-ketoglutarate. Activity of $HIF-\alpha$ is repressed by two hydroxylases. One is $HIF-\alpha$ specific prolyl-hydroxylases, referred as prolyl-hydroxylase domain(PHD). The other is $HIF-\alpha$ specific asparaginyl-hydroxylase, referred as factor-inhibiting HIF-1(FIH-1). The facts (i) that many dioxygenases commonly use molecular oxygen and reducing agents during detoxification of xenobiotics, (ii) that detoxification reaction produces radicals and reactive oxygen species, and (iii) that activities of both PHD and FIH-1 are regulated by the changes in the balance between oxygen species and reducing agents, imply the possibility that the activity of $HIF-\alpha$ can be increased during detoxification process. The importance of $HIF-\alpha$ in cancer and ischemic diseases has been emphasized since its target genes mediate various hypoxic responses including angiogenesis, erythropoiesis, glycolysis, pH balance, metastasis, invasion and cell survival. Therefore, activators of PHDs and FIH-1 can be potential anticancer drugs which could reduce the activity of HIF, whereas inhibitors, for preventing ischemic diseases. This review highlights these novel dioxygenases, PHDs and FIH-1 as specific target against not only cancers but also ischemic diseases.
