TREK (TWIK-RElated $K^+$ channels) and TRAAK (TWIK-Related Arachidonic acid Activated $K^+$ channels) were expressed in COS-7 cells, and the channel activities were recorded from inside-out membrane patches using holding potential of - 40 mV in symmetrical 150 mM $K^+$ solution. Intracellular application of an oxidizing agent, 5,5'-dithio-bis (2-nitrobenzoic acid) (DTNB), markedly decreased the activity of the TREK2, and the activity was partially reversed by the reducing agent, dithiothreitol (DTT). In order to examine the possibility that the target sites for the oxidizing agents might be located in the C-terminus of TREK2, two chimeras were constructed: TREK2 (1-383)/TASK3C and TREK2 (1-353)/TASK3C. The channel activity in the TREK2 (1-383)/TASK3C chimera was still inhibited by DTNB, but not in the TREK2 (1-353)/TASK3C chimera. These results indicate that TREK2 is inhibited by oxidation, and that the target site for oxidation is located between the amino acid residues 353 and 383 in the C-terminus of the TREK2 protein.

졸-겔법에 의해 출발물질로 aluminum isopropoxide를 사용하여, 메탄올용매 내에서 가수분해 시킨 후 해교제인 초산, 질산 또는 염산을 각각 첨가하여 해교 시켜 3종류의 alumina sol을 제조하였다. 또한 이 sol에 실란커플링제인(3-glycidyloxypropyl) trimethoxysilane을 첨가하여 코팅 용액을 제조한 후, 이용액을 polycarbonate 기재 위에 담금 코팅 후 열 경화시켜 코팅 도막을 형성하였다. 이 과정 중 해교제의 종류 변화가 코팅 도막의 물성에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 그 결과 해교제로서 강산인 염산이나 질산을 사용한 코팅 도막은 H나 2H의 연필경도와 5B의 부착력을 나타내어 우수한 물성을 나타내었다. 반면에 해교제로서 약산인 초산을 사용한 경우에는 HB의 연필경도와 3B의 부착력을 보여 좋지 못한 물성을 나타내었다.

In this study, the effects of multi-complex agents addition on characteristics of electroless Ni plating solution are investigated. The species and the concentration of complexing agents are major factors to control the deposition rate, P concentration, and surface morphology of plating films. Adipic acid increases the deposition rate in regardless of single- or mutli-complex agent addition. However, lactic acid effectively increases the deposition rate in case of multi-addition as the complex agents with adipic or sodium succinate acid. In addition, sodium citric acid and malic acid show good stabilizing effects of plating solution and lowering the deposition rate, because they have high complexibility. Therefore, it is suggested that the development of Ni-P plating solution suitable for diverse usages can be carried out systematically using the database from this study.

메탄술폰산은 우수한 물리화학적 특성을 지니고 있어 금속의 침출에 효과적이다. 분자구조 및 코발트와 니켈 금속의 침출자료를 이용하여 메탄술폰산과 황산의 화학적 반응성을 비교하였다. 유발과 공명효과는 두 산의 반응성에 큰 영향을 미쳤다. 동일한 침출조건에서 코발트와 니켈의 침출률은 메탄술폰산보다 황산에서 높았다. 메탄술폰산의 강한 산도와 금속염의 높은 용해도를 고려하면 메탄술폰산을 금속회수시 침출제로 이용하는 것이 가능하다.

The purpose of the paper is to explore the current knowledge on the nutritional evaluation, cholesterol-lowering effect and antitumor activity of kimchi and its ingredients(Korean cabbage, garlic, red pepper powder, ginger and onion). Kimchi contains high contents of nutrients such as vitamins(ascorbic acid, $\beta$-carotene and vitamin B complex), minerals(calcium, potassium, iron and phosphorous), essential amino acids and dietary fiber. Kimch also contains high levels of lactic acid bacteria, allicin, capsaicin, organic acid, phenol compounds, flavonoid and sulfur compounds. The dietary fiber and lactic acid bacteria isolated from kimchi are effective in improving intestinal microflora of human. Isoluble dietary fiber shows anticancer activity, but soluble dietary fiber shows hypocholesterolemic effect. Lactic acid bacteria isolated from kimchi acts as a hypocholesterolemic or anticancer agent. A major ingredient of kimchi is mainly cruciferous and allium family vegetables, which were also reported to prevent cancer and atherosclerosis. It is suggested that kimchi is important not only as one of the traditional fermented Korean food but also as therapeutic agent for carcinogenesis and hypercholesterolemic state.

A facile synthesis of 2-aryl-5-benzoxazolepropionic acid derivatives(1 0a-d), which are potent antiinflammatory agent, is reported. Methyl ${\alpha}$-(p-hydroxyphenyl)propionate(5) was prepared from Friedel-Crafts reaction of isopropoxy benzene with methyl ${\alpha}$-chloro-${\alpha}$-(methylthio) acetate(1), followed by desulfurization, methylation and clevage of ether bond. Compounds(10a-d) were made from(5) by a sequence of nitration, reduction, formation of benzoxazole ring, and hydrolysis in good yields, respectively.

편광필름용 점착제를 합성하기 위해 아크릴 단량체를 사용하여 용액중합이 수행되었다. 사용된 아크릴 단량체는 2-ethylhexylacrylate, butylacrylate, acrylic acid였으며, 비율은 점착제의 유리전이온도 $-40^{\circ}C$에 맞추어 2-ethylhexylacrylate: butylacrylate: acrylic acid=25:50:3.5로 하였다. 중합된 점착제에 커플링제를 1 wt% 첨가하였을 때 점착제의 광투과율이 매우 증가하였다. 이러한 현상은 커플링제의 Si-O 결합이 액정셀에 대한 점착력을 향상시킨 결과임을 알 수 있었다. 가교제를 단량체 대비 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 wt% 첨가하였을 매 가교제의 함량이 증가할수록 초기점착력은 감소하고 응집력은 증가하였다. 접촉각 분석에서 가교제의 함량이 증가할수록 표면에너지가 커져 접촉각이 감소하였다. 내열성 측정에서 가교제의 증가나 온도변화에 관계없이 아크릴 점착제는 우수한 내열성을 보였으며 절단면의 관찰에서 가교제의 함량이 증가할수록 절단면이 매끄럽고 깨끗하였다. 종합적으로 점착제의 초기점착력, 응집력, 표면에너지, 절단면의 상태 등을 고려하여 적정 가교제의 투입량을 1.0 wt%로 확정하였다.

The antibrowning effcts of cysteine, citric acid and ascorbic acid on the browning reaction of enzymatic garlic hydrolyzate were investigated at 37$^{\circ}C$ for 12 days. Cysteine was the most effective antibrowning agent followed by citric acid. The antibrowning effects of cysteine and citric acid were greater as concentrations increased, and the optimal concentration of both cysteine and citric acid as antibrowning agents was 0.3%. Ascorbic acid itself contributed to the browning reaction and showed an accelerating effect as the concentration increased. The addition of 0.1% ascorbic acid as synergist either to 0.3% cysteine or 0.3% citric acid did not enhance significantly the antibrowning effect of cysteine or citric acid. When stored at 3$0^{\circ}C$, 4$0^{\circ}C$ and 5$0^{\circ}C$, the browning reaction was accelerated as the temperature increased, especially at 5$0^{\circ}C$. Even though the effects of citric acid and cysteine as inhibitors on the browning reaction decreased as temperature increased, cysteine was more effective in decreasing browning reaction than citric acid.

Waste paper stands for the major biodegradable organic fraction of most of municipal solid waste. The potential of waste paper for glucose production was investigated in this current work. The pretreatment was accomplished by first subjecting waste paper to disintegration time (30 s), followed by ink removal of disintegrated waste paper using an deinking agent. Concentrated acid hydrolysis of waste paper with sulfuric acid was optimized to maximize glucose conversion. The concentrated acid hydrolysis conditions for waste paper (disintegrated time: 30 s, deinking agent loading : 15 ml) were optimized by using central composite design and response surface methodology. The optimization process employed a central composite design, where the investigated variables were acid concentration (60~80%), loading sulfuric acid (1~5 ml) and reaction time (1~5 h). All the tested variables were identified to have significant effects (p < 0.05) on glucose conversion. The optimum concentrated acid hydrolysis conditions were acid concentration of 70.8%, loading sulfuric acid of 3.2 ml and a reaction time of 3.6 h. This research of concentrated acid hydrolysis was a promising method to improve glucose conversion for waste paper.

Coumaroyl dipeptide amide, Coumaric acid-LG-$NH_2$, was prepared successfully using the solid-phase method, and its efficacy as a skin whitening agent was studied. Coumaric acid-LG-$NH_2$ was prepared with Rink-amide resin, and 96.354% of purity was obtained. Using MTT assay and LDH release assay, we found that it exhibited very low cytotoxicity. And, we found that Coumaric acid-LG-$NH_2$ inhibited tyrosinase activity dose-dependently and showed superior tyrosinase inhibitory activity to well-known whitening agent, arbutin. $IC_{50}$ value of Coumaric acid-LG-$NH_2$ was 182.4 ${\mu}M$, and $IC_{50}$ value of arbutin was 384.6 ${\mu}M$. Also, in measurement of melanin contents using B16F1 melanoma cell lines, Coumaric acid-LG-$NH_2$ reduced melanin production induced by ${\alpha}$-MSH statistically significant, and showed superior melanin inhibitory activity to p-coumaric acid or arbutin. In addition, Coumaric acid-LG-$NH_2$ reduced MC1R mRNA expression level. Thus, we concluded that MC1R pathway is the significant pathway of Coumaric acid-LG-$NH_2$, and Coumaric acid-LG-$NH_2$ has great potential to be used as novel whitening agents.
