본 연구에서는 외부온열 온도$(~40^{\circ}C)$에서 항암약물(doxorubicin)이 방출되는 온도민감성 리포좀에 대하여 연구하였다. 온도민감성 리포좀은 외부온열온도에서 하한임계용액온도의 성질을 나타내는 N-isopropylacrylamide (NIP-AAm)와 Acrylamide(AAm)의 합성고분자에 의하여 변형되었다. 변형된 리포좀으로부터 약물(doxorubicin)의 방출은 온도와 시간의 변화에 따라서 형광강도를 측정하여 결정하였다. Poly(NIPAAm-co-AAm) copolymer에 의하여 변형된 리포좀으로부터 약물(doxorubicin)의 방출은 Poly(NIPAAm-co-AAm) copolymer가 온열온도 범위$(~40{\pm}2^{\circ}C)$에서 적절한 전이를 나타내기 때문에 증가하였다. 또한, 리포좀으로부터 약물의 방출은 5분 이내에 완료되었고, 변형된 리포좀의 크기는 120~170 nm 이었다. 본 연구에서는 온도에 의하여 제어 할 수 있는 온도민감성 리포좀을 제조하였다. 이것은 온도 제어에 따른 종양 표적화에 대한 약물전달시스템에서 활용 될 수 있을 것이다.

A rapid and sensitive method for the determination of glyphosate, a phosphated amino acid herbicide, in whole blood is presented. After removal of protein, the whale blood was purified by using the anion exchange resin (Dowex 1), and derivatized with 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate (FMCL). Derivatized glyphosate from blood sample was injected onto a Whatman partisil 10SAX column and separated with 0.1M phosphate buffer (pH 2.5) and acetonitrile (ratio=3:1). The high performance liquid chromatography-fluorescence detection gave the detection limit of 86pg and linearity of 0.9999 in the range of 0.25 $\mu$g/ml and 25 $\mu$g/ml. The recoveries of glyphosate added to the blood samples were ranged from 75.3% to 100.4% compared to the samples prepared in water. The derivatized glyphosate was stable at various acidity and temperature. This method has been successfully applied to the blood samples of lethal intoxication with the herbicide glyphosate.

To examine the chilling tolerance lipids, we compared the chilling susceptibility of photosystem II of wild type tobacco plants with that of transgenic tobacco plants, in which the sensitivity to chilling had been enhanced by genetic modification of fatty acid unsaturation of chloroplast membrane lipids. The transgenic tobacco plants were found to contain reduced levels of unsaturated membrane fatty acids by being tansformed with cDNA for glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase from squash. For the purpose of studying on the functional integrity of photosystem II during low-temperature photoinhibition, the photochemical efficiency was measured as the ration of the maximun fluorescence of chlorophyll (Fv/Fm) of photosystem II. In parallel with an investigation on the transgenic plants, susceptibility of chilling-resistant species, such as spinah and pea, and of chilling-sensitive ones, such as squash and sweet potato, to low-temperature photoinhibition was also compared in terms of room temperature-induced chlorophyll fluorescence from photosystem II. When leaf disks from the two genotypes of tobacco plants were exposed to light at 5$^{\circ}C$, the transgenic plants showed more rapid decline in photochemical activity of photosysytme II than wild-type plants. When they were pretreated with lincomycin, an inhibitor of chloroplast-encoded protein synthesis, the extent of photoinhibition was even more accelerated. More impottantly, they showed a comparable extent of photoinhibition in the presence of lincomycin, making a clear contrast to the discrepancy observed in the discrepancy observed in the absence of lincomycin. Restoration of Fv/Fm during recovery from low-temperature photoinhibition occurred more slowly in the transgenic tobacco plants than the wild-type. These findings are discussed in relation to fatty acid unsaturation of membrane phosphatidylglycerol. It appears that the ability of plants to rapidly regenerate the active photosystem II complex from might explain, in part, why chilling-resistant plants can toleratlow-temperature photoinhibition.

Novel pH-sensitive moieties containing an s-triazine ring were synthesized with sulfonamide and secondary amino groups. The synthesized pH-sensitive moieties were used for the synthesis of a pH-sensitive amphiphilic ABA triblock copolymer. The pH-sensitive triblock copolymer was composed of diblock copolymers, methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-poly ($\varepsilon$-caprolactone-co-D,L-lactide) (MPEG-PCLA), and pH-sensitive moiety. These copolymers could be dissolved molecularly in both acidic and basic aqueous media at room temperature due to secondary amino and sulfonamide groups. The synthesized s-triazine rings containing pH-sensitive compounds were characterized by ${^1}H-NMR,\;{^13}C-NMR$, and LC/MSD spectral data. The synthesized diblock and triblock copolymers were also characterized by ${^1}H-NMR$ and GPC analyses. The critical micelle concentrations at various pH conditions were determined by fluorescence technique using pyrene as a probe. Furthermore, the micellization and demicellization study of the triblock copolymer was done with pH-sensitive groups. The sensitivity towards pH change was further established by acid-base titration.

The photosynthetic activities in relation to oxygen evolution rates, quantum yield, CO2 uptake rates and room temperature chlorophyll fluorescence were investigated in cotyledons of cucumber seedlings exposed to low temperature (at 4$^{\circ}C$) for 24 h. Light-chilling caused more inhibition on light-saturated maximum oxygen evolution rates, quantum yield, and CO2 uptake rates than dark-chilling did in the cucumber plant. Light-chilling induced more marked increase in Fo and decrease in (Fv)m/Fm than dark-chilling did in the room temperature chlorophyll induction kinetics. The above results affected by chilling in the light are considered to be associated with the partial damage of the reaction center of PS II and the decreased photosynthetic activities. There occurred a large decrease in qQ with little change in qNP in the light-chilling plant. When light- and dark-chilled plants were recovered at room temperature for 24 h and their chlorophyll fluorescences were induced with light doubling technique, light-chilled plants showed more smaller magnitude and rate of fluorescence relaxation than dark-chilled plants. These suggest that light-chilling might cause some alterations in transthylakoid pH formation, and that photosynthetic apparatus of cucumber cotyledons is more susceptible to light-chilling. In the fast fluorescence induction kinetics, FR was decreased by 60% in the light-chilled plants with reference to $25^{\circ}C$ light-grown plants, while the dark-chilled plants showed a decreased rate of only 20% with reference to $25^{\circ}C$ dark-treated plants for 24 h, indicating that cucumber seedling is very sensitive to chilling stress. So, it is certain that chilling injury to the photosynthetic apparatus is strongly dependent on the presence of light in cucumber seedlings.

Background: Measurement of chlorophyll fluorescence (CF) is useful for detection the ability of plants to tolerate environmental stresses such as drought, and excessive sunlight. Cnidium officinale Makino is highly sensitive to water stress and excessive sunlight. In this study, we evaluated the effect of soil water and shade treatment on the photosynthesis and leaf temperature change of C. officinale. Methods and Results: C. officinale was cultivated under uniform irrigation for 1 week drought stress (no watering) for 6 days. A significant decrease in CF was observed on the 5th day of withholding water (approximately 6% of soil water content) regardless of shading. Notably, the Rfd_lss parameter (CF decrease rates) with and without shade treatment was reduced by 73.1% and 56.5% respectively, at 6 days compared with those at the initial stage (0 day). The patterns of the degree of CF parameters corresponded to those of the soil water content and difference between leaf temperature (Ts) and air temperature (Ta). Meanwhile, CF parameters recovered to the 3 - 4 days levels after re-watering, while the soil water potential was completely restored. The suitable soil water content for C. officinale optimal growth was between -5 kPa and -10 kPa in this experiment. Conclusions: Lack of soil water in the cultivation of C. officinale, even with shading, decreased latent heat cooling through transpiration. As a result, heat dissipation declined, and the plant was subjected to drought stress. Soil water content plays a major role in photosynthesis and leaf temperature in C. officinale.

질소레이저, optode 및 광증배관을 사용하여 우라늄 농도를 원격 실시간으로 측정할 수 있는 방법을 연구하였다. 원격 측정에서 보다 효과적으로 우라늄 형광을 집광할 수 있는 optode를 설계하였으며, optode를 이용하여 우라늄 이온으로부터 나온 형광을 광섬유로 전송하여 광증배관으로 검출하였다. 신호처리에서는 온도 변화와 quencher들의 방해효과가 거의 없는 형광의 초기치를 유도하여 사용하므로 보다 정확한 우라늄 농도를 측정할 수 있었다. 측정 결과 우라늄 농도 변화에 따른 형광 강도의 변화를 쉽게 감지할 수 있었으며, 검출한계는 0.06ppm을 얻었고, $0.1{\sim}2ppm$ 범위에서 직선성이 우수하였다.

본 연구에서는 경화촉진제로서 N,N-dimethyl benzyl amine (BDMA) 또는 1-cyanoethyl-2-ethyl-4-methyl imidazole (2E4MZ-CN)을 포함하고 있는 산무수물계 경화제에 의한 diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA)의 경화거동을 형광분석기를 사용하여 광물리적 특성 변화의 관점에서 해석하였다. 이를 위해 1,3-bis-(1-pyrene)propane (BPP) probe를 에폭시수지 내에 균일하게 도입시켰다. 주위 환경 겔화에 의한 분자의 공간구조 변화에 민감한 BPP probe는 분자내 여기체 형광을 잘 형성하였으며 에폭시수지의 경화반응에 따른 미세점도 변화 또는 분자의 움직임에 민감하였다. 에폭시수지의 경화거동은 경화시간, 경화온도 및 경화촉진제의 종류에 따른 단량체 형광세기 ($I_{M}$ ), 여기체 형광세기 ($I_{E}$ ) 그리고 $I_{M}$ /$I_{E}$ 값의 변화로부터 설명되었다. 그 결과는 이전의 DSC 또는 torsion pendulum을 이용하여 에폭시-산무수물계에 대하여 얻어진 경화거동 결과와 일치하였다. 또한, 형광분석 방법은 다른 분석 방법에서 해석이 어려운 저온영역에서의 열경화성 수지의 경화거동에 대한 정보를 제시하였다.

To investigate the early symptoms of light-chilling, alterations of chlorophyll fluorescence transients were monitored in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L. cv. Ilmichungjang) leaves. During 24 h chilling, decreases in (Fv)m/Fm, qE and qQ, and an increase in Fo were observed. The chilling effects were not recovered at room temperature, and a significant increase in Fo was observed during the recovery period. After 6 h chilling, ‘dip’(D) level of the transients became obscure, and the negative slope after ‘peak’(P) disappeared. The first derivative (dFv/dt) of the fast fluorescence rise curve was used to obtain more accurate information about the changes in the transients. The maximal rate of the fluorescence increase in the D-p rise curve (Fr) has been the most frequently used chilling stress indicator. However, a correct value of Fr could not be measured when the D level became obscure. This problem was overcome by introducing a new indicator, HFr (dFv/dt at Fv = 1/2 (Fv)m), and HFr gave very similar values to Fr. To monitor the changes in curvature around D level, another new parameter, ${\Delta}S$(D-Fr), was also introduced. These three parameters decreased very sensitively during light-chilling. In addition, increases in these parameters were observed during the first 2 h chilling, but this increase in Fr was also observed in pea leaf discs dark-chilled for 15 min, suggesting that this very early change is a common response to chilling in both pea and cucumber leaves. Quenching coefficients were also very sensitive to chilling, especially qE. Discussion on the usage of these parameters as chilling stress indicators is given in the text.
