Coagulation can be used for pretreatment of NF membrane filtration. Foulants such as organic matter and particulate can be removed effectively with the process while high flux recovery is maintained. Recently various types of polyaluminium coagulants including polyaluminium chloride(PAC) are commercially available for water treatment. This study examines effects of polymeric Al and hydrolysis products of PAC on nanofiltration membrane performance. Dominant hydrolysis products were polymeric Al, $Al(OH)_3$, and ${Al(OH)_4}^{-1}$ at acidic, neutral, and alkaline pH conditions, respectively. Under acidic pH condition, flux decline was increased with increasing PAC concentrations, possibly due to polymeric Al adsorption on membrane pore and/or surfaces. For neutral and alkaline pH conditions, little flux decline was observed with increasing PAC concentrations except the highest ${Al(OH)_4}^{-1}$ concentration, with which rapid flux decline was shown. Removal of ionic matters was also varied with pH conditions in this study. Especially, conductivity removal was substantially low and $Ca^{2+}$ concentration in the permeate was quite high at neutral pH condition.

본 연구에서는 어린감과 성숙감의 탄닌 함량 및 담즙산과의 결합능력을 비교 조사하였다. 또한 사람의 장내 세포인 Caco-2 cell에 어린감과 성숙감 추출물을 처리한 후 고농도의 DCA로 자극시켜 생성되는 NO의 수준과 TEER의 차이를 확인하였다. 탄닌 함량과 담즙산의 결합능력은 성숙감에 비해 어린감에서 유의적으로 높은 것으로 나타났으며 어린감 산성 에탄올 추출물에서 유의적으로 가장 높은 탄닌 함량 및 담즙산 결합능력을 보였다. NO 생성 억제능으로 확인한 염증반응에서도 어린감 산성 에탄올 추출물이 유의적으로 가장 높은 효과를 보였으며 DCA에 의해 유도된 장세포 간극의 느슨함을 유의하게 막아줄 수 있음이 확인되었다. 본 연구 결과를 토대로 어린감의 산성 에탄올 추출물은 고지방 식사를 통해 고농도로 축적되는 담즙산에 의해 형성된 유해한 장내 환경을 건강하게 유지시켜줄 수 있는 기능성 소재로 개발할 가능성이 있음이 확인되었다.

Increased attention has been paid to the presence of veterinary antibiotics in various environmental matrices due to their toxicological behavior in the ecosystem and development of antibiotic-resistant strains of pathogenic bacteria. In the this review, 37 target antimicrobials were selected based on annual sales of antibiotics for livestock in South Korea 2014. Also, extraction and clean-up methods for the determination of the antibiotic residues in liquid samples including water, milk, and honey were comprehensively reviewed in the literature. Solid-phase extraction (SPE) was commonly used as a pre-treatment method for the samples. Most of the analytes were extracted in acidic conditions (2.5~4.0) except for aminoglycosides, which were extracted in neutral conditions (7.0~8.0). ${\beta}-Lactams$ showed the highest recoveries in neutral pH due to their degradation characteristics in acidic media. Starta-X, Oasis HLB, and Oasis MCX were frequently applied as an SPE cartridge and Oasis HLB showed the highest recoveries for the majority of antibiotic classes. The homogenized honey and milk were extracted by mixing with acids for deproteinization. Solids and other interfering substances in the extract were eliminated by centrifugation followed by membrane filtration or SPE before injection into HPLC.

Wet Scrubber reacts the incoming pollutant gas with cleaning water (water + absorbent) to absorb pollutants and release the clean air to the atmosphere. Wet scrubbers and packed tower scrubbers using this principle are widely used in businesses that emit acid gases. In particular, in the etching process using hydrochloric acid (HCl), alkaline washing water (NaOH) having a pH of about 8 to 11 is used to absorb a large amount of acid gas. However, These salts are attached to the injection nozzle (nozzle), filling material (packing), and the demister (Demister), causing air pollution, human damage, and inoperability due to clogging and acid gas discharge. Therefore, In this study, an improvement plan was proposed to manage the washing water with pH 3~4 acidic washing water. The test method takes samples from the Wet Scrubber flue measurement laboratory twice a month for 1 year. Hydrogen chloride (HCl) concentration (ppm) was measured, and nozzle clogging and scale conditions were measured, compared, and analyzed through a differential pressure gauge and a pressure gauge. As a result of the check, it was visually confirmed that the scale was reduced to 50% or less in the spray nozzle, filler, and demister. In addition, the emission limit of hydrogen chloride in accordance with the Enforcement Regulation of the Air Quality Conservation Act [Annex 8] met 3 ppm or less. Therefore, even if the washing water is operated in an acidic pH range of 3 to 4, it is expected to reduce air pollution and human damage due to clogging of internal parts, and it is expected to reduce maintenance costs such as regular cleaning or replacement of parts.

A direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) was applied to treat strong nitrogenous wastewater of anaerobic digestion supernatant (ADS) and human urine (HU). The ammonia transfer was evaluated in terms of specific ammonia transfer (SAT) value, which is the ratio of total ammoniacal nitrogen divided by the amount of water transferred. The acidification resulted in low SAT values and high quality of produced water. The ammonia transfer control in the acidic condition was stronger for HU than ADS due to higher alkalinity (pH 8.8) and ammonia concentration (5700 mg-N/L) of HU. Acidified HU at pH 4 exhibited a SAT value of 1.64 × 10^-5, which was significantly smaller than the SAT value of 3.00 × 10^-3 for the original HU. The low pH enhanced the water flux for ADS, but HU showed a steep decrease in water flux due to enhanced fouling. It was considered that the fouling intensity in acidic conditions depends on the characteristics of the wastewater source. The major foulants on the MD membrane were NaCl, CaCO₃ and CuSO₄ as recognized by the SEM-EDS. Acidified ADS and HU at pH 4 showed relatively high N content of 8.18 % and 28.03 %, respectively, as organic fouling.

우리나라의 건강기능식품법에서는 인삼 또는 홍삼의 기능성이 자양강장, 면역증진 및 원기회복으로 한정되어 있다. 지금까지 홍삼에 함유된 갈변물질과 산성다당체에 대해서 많은 연구가 수행되었는데, 갈변물질은 항산화 활성과 면역증진기능, 그리고 산성다당체는 소화기관암의 증상개선, 면역기능 증진, 혈압개선, 혈액응고방지, 조혈기능, 알콜해독(간기능 회복, 고지혈 개선 등) 등의 효능이 우수하다고 보고되었다. 이러한 관점에서 현재 인삼과 홍삼의 3가지 기능성외에 항산화활성이라든지 그 외 더 많은 기능성을 추가할 필요성이 있으며, 또 홍삼에 함유되어 있는 활성성분을 적극적으로 이용하여 기준규격형제품은 물론이고 질병위험감소에 대해서 기능성을 표시할 수 있는 개별인정형 제품이나 나아가서는 일반 또는 전문의약품으로 개발하여 홍삼의 이용 가능성을 극대화시키고 국제적으로 경쟁력이 있는 한국인삼으로 그 위상을 제고시켜야 한다고 생각한다.

K-1 유류비축기지는 인위적 지하 공동을 이용하기 때문에 주변 지하수계의 안정이 중요하다. 기지 주변의 지하수계 특성을 이해하기 위해 광역적 지하수 유동특성, 기지내 공간적 지하수위 분포 양상을 파악하였으며, 지하수 유동에 영향을 미치는 지질 요소를 검토하였다. 연구지역에서 지히수 유동에 크게 영향을 미칠 수 있는 지질구조적 특성은 2가지로서, 편마암-화강암 관입경계를 따라 재활성된 부분과 산성 암맥을 따라 발달한 단열 및 단층이다. 기지 내 4개 관측공들의 수위변동 양상을 검토한 결과, 대부분 강우와 지표수 유입 혹은 공동내 주입수에 의해 지하수위 변동이 영향을 받고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이 연구에서는 기지 남쪽에 위치한 관정으로부터의 양수가 기지의 지하수위 변동에 미치는 영향에 대해 검토하였다. 산성 암맥을 따라 기지로부터 1.2km 남쪽에 위치한 지점에서의 양수작업은 관측 당시에 기지내 지하수위 변동에 영향을 미치지 않았으나, 모델링 결과에 의하면 $250\;m^3$/day 이상의 양수량으로 지속적인 양수작업이 진행되는 경우 지하수 시스템 안정을 위해 주의가 요구된다.

Previously, the methanolic extract of Paeonia moutan seeds was found to potently inhibit soybean lipoxy-genase (SLO). Hence to isolate SLO inhibitor, the defattd methaniolic extract of the seeds was consecutively partitioned wiht ether, ethyl acetate,n-butanol ,adn water. The ether souble fraction showing strong inhibitory activity against SLO was further fractionated into a strongly acidic, a weakly acidic, and a neutral fractions. The strongly acidic components of the ether extract were successively subjected to chromatography on a silica gel, Sephadex LH-20, and preparative HPLC. Four phenolic compounds were isolated , and twio of them showing a strong SLO inhibition activity were identified as luteolin (IC50=2.32$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml) and 5,6,4'-trihydroxy-7,3'- dimethoxylflavone (IC50=0.31$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml) by UV, IR, 1H-& 13C-NMR, and MS spectroscopy. In addition, two flavonoids showed significantly antioxidative activity as strong as that of of $\alpha$-tocopherol (p<0.05) in the autoxidation system of linoleic acid. These results suggest that luteolin and 5,6,4'-trihydroxy-7,3'-dimethoxy-flavone may be used as a potential source of anti-inflammatory agents with antioxidative activity.

The present study was conducted to investigate the single and 2-week repeated dose toxicity of red ginseng acidic polysaccharide (RGAP) in Sprague-Dawley rats. The test article was administered orally to rats at dose levels of 0, and 2000 mg/kg/day for single dose toxicity study and at dose levels of 0, 250, 500, and 1000 mg/kg/day for repeated dose toxicity study. In both studies, there were no treatment-related effects on mortality, clinical signs, food and water consumption, ophthalmoscopy, urinalysis, hematology, serum biochemistry, necropsy findings and organ weights of all animals treated RGAP. Based on these results, it was concluded that the 2-week repeated oral dose of RGAP may have no toxic effect in rats at a dose level of 1000 mg/kg/day. In the condition of this study, the no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) was considered to be 1000 mg/kg/day for both sexes.

Anticoagulant activities were tested for the fifteen kinds of medicinal plants by measuring activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT). Of them five kinds or species (Artemisia princeps, Sanguisorba officinalis, Artemisia apiacea, Eclipa alba, Schizonepeta tenuifolia) were selected and fractionated for the preparation of acidic polysaccharides. They were extracted with water by refluxing and the extracts were precipitated with ethanol. The precipitates were separated based on charge using a DEAE-Sephadex. The low salt and high salt fractions were sulfated with anhydrous pyridine and chlorosulfonic acid complex. In vitro anticoagulant activities of sulfated polysaccharides were tested by measuring aPTT, prothrombin time (PT), and factor Xa clotting time using normal human plasma. No relationship was found between the amount of uronic acids and anticoagulant activities, but the sulfated ones show the increase of activities. In vivo anticoagulant properties of the sulfated polysaccharide from Artemisia apiacea were also tested by the intraveneous administration of three different doses (3,5 and 10 mg/kg) to rats. APTT and PT were increased significantly and the action of factor Xa and thrombin mediated through antithrombin III were inhibited slightly.
