초임계 이산화탄소를 이용하여 다공성 고분자 모노리스를 제조하는 실험적 연구를 행하여, 단량체의 종류와 중합반응 조건들이 생성되는 고분자 모노리스의 물성에 미치는 영향을 실험적으로 조사하였다. 중합반응은 반응이 진행되는 동안 반응물의 상변화를 관찰할 수 있도록 사파이어 창을 부착한 고압 반응기 내에서 진행되었으며, 단량체의 농도가 매우 낮은 경우를 제외하고는 반응기 내부형태와 동일한 형상의 건조하고 다공성인 고분자 모노리스를 얻었을 수 있었다. 생성되는 고분자 모노리스의 비 표면적은 반응혼합물 중의 단량체 농도와 중합반응 압력에 따라 증가하였으며, 기계적 강도는 경도 보강제 MMA를 첨가하여 증대시킬 수 있었다.

본 연구는 ethyl 및 propyl gallate를 첨가제로 사용하여 대표적인 친수성 렌즈 재료로 사용되는 HEMA (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)와 교차결합제인 EGDMA (ethylene glycol dimethacrylate), MMA (methyl methacrylate), AA (acrylic acid) 그리고 개시제인 AIBN (azobisisobutyronitrile)과 함께 공중합 하였다. 생성된 고분자의 물리적 특성을 측정한 결과, 굴절률 1.433-1.435, 함수율 38.71-38.99%, 가시광선 투과율 85.4-88.8%, 인장강도 0.2468-0.2740 kgf 그리고 접촉각의 경우 $49.77^{\circ}$에서 $36.29^{\circ}$ 범위의 분포를 나타내었다. Ethyl 및 propyl gallate를 0.1-1.0% 첨가한 친수성 콘택트렌즈의 경우, UV-B 영역에서 49.0-7.4%, UV-A 영역에서 71.0-43.4%의 투과율을 나타내어 자외선 차단 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 실험 결과 중합된 ethyl gallate와 propyl gallate를 첨가한 친수성 안의료용 콘택트렌즈 재료의 경우, 기본적인 의료용 렌즈의 물성을 만족하였으며 함수율의 큰 변화를 나타내지 않으면서도 우수한 습윤성과 자외선 차단효과를 증가시키는 결과를 보였다.

The physical and optical properties of polymers with 2-fluoroaniline and 4-fluoroaniline added, which can be used for hydrophilic ophthalmic lenses, were investigated in this study. The UV-blocking properties of 2- and 4-fluoroaniline were also investigated by measuring their UV transmissibility. 2- and 4-Fluoroaniline were used as additives for the basic combination of HEMA, 5% AA, and 1% MMA, and the materials were copolymerized with EGDMA as the cross-linking agent and AIBN as the initiator. The refractive index, water content, optical transmittance, tensile strength, and contact angle were measured to evaluate the physical properties of the produced hydrogel lens. The measured physical properties of the hydrogel contact lens produced with the copolymerized polymer showed a refractive index of 1.425-1.436; a water content of 36.95-44.65%; a visual light transmittance of 66.0-81.0%; a tensile strength of 0.138-0.281 kgf; and a contact angle of $55.02-57.87^{\circ}$. The UV transmissibility was significantly reduced, which indicates that 2-fluoroaniline and 4-fluoroaniline have UV-blocking properties. This study showed that 2- and 4-fluoroaniline are expected to be used as UV-blocking materials in hydrogel ophthalmic lenses whose physical properties, such as their refractive index and water content, do not change.

Nitric oxide(NO) synthase was identified and characterized by determining the L-citrulline formed in the NO-Arg pathway in pancreatic tissues. NO synthase activities in chicken pancreas were dependent upon the concentration of L-Arg which is the substrate molecule for the NO synthase, the amount of the enzyme protein used, and linearly on the incubation time. NO synthase in mouse pancreas was found to be constitutive, not induced by lipopolysaccharide treatment. In vitro NO synthase activities of chicken pancreas were inhibited 36%, 21%, 12% and 44% by $200\;{\mu}M$ of MMA, DMA, D'MA and NAME respectively. These results suggest the presence of NO and NO synthase in the pancreas.

The aim of this study was to evaluate welders' exposure to hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) and nickel (Ni) during welding operations in a Korean shipyard. The airborne Cr(VI) and Ni concentrations were measured during metal inert gas (MIG) welding on mild and stainless steel, and manual metal arc (MMA) welding on mild steel. The geometric mean (GM) of Cr(VI) concentrations inside the welding helmet during MIG welding on mild steel were $0.0018mg/m^3$ inside a ship section, and $0.0015-0.0026mg/m^3$ at the welding shops. All of the personal breathing zone air samples were below the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) Threshold Limit Value ($TLV^{(R)}$) of $0.01mg/m^3$. Conversely, eighty-eight percent(21 of 24) of the personal breathing zone air samples exceeded the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) recommended exposure limit of $0.001mg/m^3$. Ni was not detected on 20 of 23 air samples collected during MIG welding on mild steel. The three Ni samples above the limit of detection ranged from 0.015 to $0.044mg/m^3$. The GM of Cr(VI) concentrations during MMA welding on mild steel were $0.0013mg/m^3$, but Ni was not detected in the air samples during this operation. It is assumed that the airborne Cr(VI) and Ni during mild steel welding were derived from the base metals which contained about 0.03% Cr and 0.03% Ni. The GM of airborne total Cr, Cr(VI) and Ni concentrations during MIG welding on stainless steel were 4.02, 0.13 and $0.86mg/m^3$, respectively, and the levels of Cr(VI) and Ni were above the ACGIH-$TLV^{(R)}$. Cr(VI) comprised about 35.5% of the total chromium(Cr) from MIG welding on mild steel, and about 8.4% of total Cr from MIG welding on stainless steel. The ratios of Cr(VI) to total Cr were significantly different among welding shops. It was concluded that welders were exposed to high levels of Cr(VI) and Ni during welding on stainless steel, and were exposed to low levels of Cr(VI) even during welding on mild steel.
