  • 본 시험은 벼 종이멀칭이앙 시 유기물원 및 유기물원과 완효성비료 조합 시 벼 생육, 잡초방제, 토양에 미치는 영향을 구명하고자 경기도 수원에 소재하는 작물과학원 벼시험포장 강서통에서 대안벼를 2004년 5월 28일에 중묘를 종이멀칭기계 이앙하였다. 시용한 유기물원은 퇴비, 볏짚 및 청예호밀을 투입하였다. 시용한 퇴비의 생중은 $10,000kg\;ha^{-1}$이고 C/N율은 17.5, 볏짚의 생중은 $10,000kg\;ha^{-1}$이고 C/N율은 44.2, 청예호밀은 생초중 $11,380kg\;ha^{-1}$이고 C/N율은 42.6이었다. 완효성 비료와 유기물원과 혼합 시 완효성비료의 시용량은 관행질소 시비량의 80%를 기준으로 하여 시용하였다. 완효성비료의 비종은 LCU (Latex Coated Urea, 21-7-9)복비를 시용하였다. 피복재료는 생분해성 폴리에스터 (PES $10{\mu}m$)+재생지를 이용하여 피복하였다. 유기물 시용 후 벼 종이멀칭이앙 시모의 결주율은 관행이앙과 큰 차이가 없었다. 잡초발생 및 방제가는 호밀이 투입된 구에서 잡초발생이 적었고 방제가도 높은 경향이었다. 주요시기별 토양의 산화환원전위는 볏짚+완효성 비료 80%구가 분얼기에 가장 낮았다. 볏짚과 퇴비 단용구는 유수형성기까지 산화환원전위가 감소하는 경향이었다. 주요시기별 토양 중 $NH_4{^+}-N$는 분얼기에는 청예호밀+완효성 80%구가 가장 높았고 퇴비시용구에서 유수형성기까지 용출이 되는 경향이었다. 벼 수량은 청예호밀+완효성 80%구와 퇴비+완효성 80%구가 관행과 통계적으로 차이가 없었다. 볏짚+완효성 80%구는 수량이 통계적으로 유의하게 감소하였다.

  • The effect of an electrochemically generated oxidation-reduction potential and electric pulse on ethanol production and growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC 26603 was experimented and compared with effects of electron mediators (neutral red, benzyl viologen, and thionine), chemical oxidants (hydrogen peroxide and hypochlorite), chemical reductants (sulfite and nitrite), oxygen, and hydrogen. The oxidation (anodic) and reduction (cathodic) potential and electric pulse activated ethanol production and growth, and changed the total soluble protein pattern of the test strain. Neutral red electrochemically reduced activated ethanol production and growth of the test strain, but benzyl viologen and thionine did not. Nitrite inhibited ethanol production but did not influence growth of the test strain. Hydrogen peroxide, hypochlorite, and sulfite did not influence ethanol production and growth of the test strain. Hydrogen and oxygen also did not influence the growth and ethanol production. It shows that the test strain may perceive electrochemically generated oxidation-reduction potential and electric pulse as an environmental factor.

  • Background: Radix et Rhizoma Ginseng (thereafter called ginseng) has been used as a medicinal herb for thousands of years to maintain people's physical vitality and is also a non-organ-specific cancer preventive and therapeutic traditional medicine in several epidemiologic and preclinical studies. Owing to few toxic side effects and strong enhancement on body immunity, ginseng has admirable application potential and value in cancer chemoprevention. The study aims at investigating the chemopreventive effects of ginseng on cutaneous carcinoma and the underlying mechanisms. Methods: The mouse skin cancer model was induced by 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene/12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate. Ultraperformance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry was used for identifying various ginsenosides, the main active ingredients of ginseng. Comprehensive approaches (including network pharmacology, bioinformatics, and experimental verification) were used to explore the potential targets of ginseng. Results: Ginseng treatment inhibited cutaneous carcinoma in terms of initiation and promotion. The content of Rb1, Rb2, Rc, and Rd ginsenosides was the highest in both mouse blood and skin tissues. Ginseng and its active components well maintained the redox homeostasis and modulated the immune response in the model. Specifically, ginseng treatment inhibited the initiation of skin cancer by enhancing T-cell-mediated immune response through upregulating HSP27 expression and inhibited the promotion of skin cancer by maintaining cellular redox homeostasis through promoting nuclear translocation of Nrf2. Conclusion: According to the study results, ginseng can be potentially used for cutaneous carcinoma as a chemopreventive agent by enhancing cell-mediated immunity and maintaining redox homeostasis with multiple components, targets, and links.

  • 납이 용해된 수용성메탄술폰산을 전해액으로 사용하는 레독스 플로우 전지의 전기화학적 특성과 성능을 평가하였다. 납과 이산화납의 부착, 용해과정을 평가하기 위해 전압전류법을 실시하였다. 음전위쪽으로 순방향 주사에서 뚜렷한 환원피크는 관찰되지 않고, 전류는 서서히 증가하였다. 음전위 구간에서 역방향 주사에서 산화피크의 on-set potential은 -0.47 V(vs SCE)에서 관찰되었다. 양전위 구간에서는 순방향과 역방향에서 뚜렷한 피크가 나타났다. 비이커 셀내에 설치된 전극으로 충방전 실험을 실시하였다. 납의 충전(부착)은 약 0.5 V(vs SCE), 납의 방전(용해)는 약 0.25 V(vs SCE)에서 진행되었으며, 충전 및 방전시의 전위 차이는 약 0.25 V이다. 이산화납의 초기 충전(부착)은 1.7 V(vs SCE)에서 진행되었고, 방전(용해)은 0.95 V 부근의 일정전위에서 진행되었다. 두번째 사이클에서, 충전은 1.5 V(vs SCE)이하에서 시작되고, 이후 전위가 1.7 V(vs SCE)로 증가하였다. 방전 전위는 약 1.0 V로 안정적으로 유지하였다.

  • The redox characteristics of 2-arylaldehydehydrazono-3-phenyl-5-substituted-2, 3-dihydro-1, 3, 4-thiadiazoles (1a-h) have been investigated in nonaqueous solvents such as 1, 2-dichloroethane (DCE), dichloromethane (DCM), acetonitrile (AN), Tetrahydrofuran (THF), and dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) at platinum electrode. Through controlled potential electrolysis, the oxidation and reduction products of the investigated compounds had been separated and indentified. The redox mechanism had been suggested and proved. It had been found that all the investigated compounds were oxidized in two irreversible one-electron processes following the well-known pattern of The EC-mechanism; the first electron loss gives the corresponding cation-radical which is followed by proton removal from the ortho-position in the N-phenyl ring forming the radical. The obtained radical undergoes a second electron uptake from the nitrogen in the N = C group forming the unstable intermediate (di-radical cation) which undergoes ring closure forming the corresponding cation. The formed cation was stabilized in solution through its combination with a perchlorate anion from the medium. On the other hand, these compounds are reduced in a single two-electron process or in a successive two one-electron processes following the well known pattern of the EEC-mechanism according to the nature of the substituent; the first one gives the anion-radical followed by a second electron reduction to give the dianion which is basic enough to abstract protons from the media to saturate the (C = O) bond.

  • Background: Curcumin has has been reported to exert anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidation and anti-angiogenic activity in various types of cancer. It has also been shown to induce apoptosis in leukemia cells. We aimed to unravel the role of the redox pathway in Curcumin mediated apoptosis with a panel of human leukemic cells. Materials and Methods: In this study in vitro cytotoxicity of Curcumin was measured by MTT assay and apoptotic effects were assessed by annexin V/PI, DAPI staining, cell cycle analysis, measurement of caspase activity and PARP cleavage. Effects of Curcumin on intracellular redox balance were assessed using fluorescent probes like $H_2DCFDA$, JC1 and an ApoGSH Glutathione Detection Kit respectively. Results: Curcumin showed differential anti-proliferative and apoptotic effects on different human leukemic cell lines in contrast to minimal effects on normal cells. Curcumin induced apoptosis was associated with the generation of intracellular ROS, loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, intracellular GSH depletion, caspase activation. Conclusions: As Curcumin induces programmed cell death specifically in leukemic cells it holds a great promise as a future therapeutic agent in the treatment of leukemia.
