A series of samples of the Nd1-x(Ba0.40Mg0.60)1+xFeO4-y (x=0.00, 0.10, 0.20, and 0.30) system has been synthesized at 1450 ℃ under an atmospheric air pressure. The x-ray powder diffraction analysis of the solid solutions assigns the structure of all the compositions to orthorhombic system. Mohr salt analysis shows that τ and y values increase with x value and nonstoichiometric chemical formulas of the system can be formulated from the x, τ, and y values. Oxygen vacancies are distributed along c-axis in the perovskite layer. The magnetic ordering temperature remains unchanged with x value. Electrical conductivity and activation energy depend only on the mixed valence state of Fe ion. Conduction mechanism can be suggested as the hopping of electron between eg orbitals of Fe3+ and Fe4+ ions through Fe3+-O-Fe4+ bonds. Magnetic susceptibility and electrical conductivity are discussed with the nonstoichiometric chemical formulas.

Biomarkers identify various stages and interactions on the pathway from exposure to disease. The three categories of biomarkers are those measuring susceptibility, exposure and effect. Susceptibility biomarkers are identifiable genetic variations affecting absorption, metabolism or response to environmental agents. Biomarkers of exposure indicate the amount of a foreign compound that is absorbed into the body. Biological measurements performed on human tissues are vastly expanding the capabilities of classical epidemiology, which has relied primarily on estimates of human exposure derived form chemical levels in the air, water, and other exposure routes. Biomarkers of exposure indicate the amount of a foreign compound that is absorbed into the body. Biological measurements performed on human tissues are vastly expanding the capabilities of classical epidemiology, which has relied primarily on estimates of human exposure derived form chemical levels in the air, water, and other exposure routes. The biomarker response is typical of chemical pollution by specific classes of compound, such as (i) heavy metals (mercury, cadmium, lead, zinc), responsible for the induction of metallothionein synthesis, and (ii) organochlorinated pollutants (PCBs, dioxins, DDT congeners) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which induce the mixed function oxygenase (MFO) involved in their bio transformations and elimination. Currently genomic researches are developed in human cDNA clone subarrays oriented toward the expression of genes involved in responses to xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes, cell cycle components, oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes, DNA repair genes, estrogen-responsive genes, oxidative stress genes, and genes known to be involved in apoptotic cell death. Several research laboratories in Korea for kicking off these Environmental Genomics were summarized.

양기와 음기를 보하는 약재로 알려진 양기석과 음기석 및 연옥에 대한 의료적 활용을 파악하고, 광물학적 특성, 분광학적 및 자기적 특성을 규명하기 위하여 X선 형광분석, X-선 회절분석, 주사전자현미경, 적외선 분광분석, 핵자기 공명분석 및 감응자기력을 실시하였다. 광물성 한약으로 사용되는 양기석은 양기석으로 확인되었으뗘, 연옥은 투각섬석으로 구성되었다. 또한, 음기석은 주로 질석으로 구성되며, 소량의 카올리나이트와 할로이사이트를 함유하였다. 사슬형 규산염 중 각섬석군에 속하는 이들 연옥과 양기석은 유사한 범위의 분광학적 특성을 가지며, 연옥은 4$0^{\circ}C$에서 방사에너지가 큰 반면, 양기석은 15$0^{\circ}C$에서 방사에너지가 크다 음기석은 각섬석군의 광물보다 4$0^{\circ}C$와 15$0^{\circ}C$에서 모두 낮은 방사에너지를 나타내었다. 광물성 한약을 증류수에 20일간 침적한 후에 측정한 NMR분석에서의 선폭은 음기석, 양기석, 연옥의 순으로 감소되나, 80일이 경과한 후의 결과는 음기석, 연옥, 양기석 순으로 감소하였다. 양기석과 음기석은 가열 온도가 높아짐에 따라 감응 자기력 값이 대체적으로 증가하고, 연옥은 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 광물별로는 상온과 가열시 모두 음기석, 양기석, 연옥의 순으로 감소하였다.

Antibiotics polymer prepared by chemical bonding and simple blending of antibacterial into polymers have attracted much interest because of their long-lasting and antibacterial activity. Antibiotics polymer can significantly reduce losses associated with dissolution, photolytic decomposition and volatillization. Further more, increased efficiency safety and selectivity are additional benefits which may be realized. In this study, Antibiotics polymer was synthesized by chemical reaction of polyacrylic acid with sulfamethazine by N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide(DCC) method. Antibacterial susceptibility was determined against Streptococcus pyrogenes[gram(+)] and Esherichia coli.[gram(-)] using a standardized disc test. As a result, the synthetic antibiotics polymer exhibited the broad susceptibilty against Streptococcus pyrogenes and Esherichia coli. Especially, the antibiotic effect of antibacterial polymer against Gram negative(Esherichia coli) was much stronger than that against Gram positive(Streptococcus pyrogenes).

The application of Carbon and graphite based materials in unprotected environment is limited to a temperature of $450^{\circ}C$ or so because of their susceptibility to oxidation at this temperature and higher. To over come these obstacles a low cost chemical vapour reaction process (CVR) was developed to give crystalline and high purity SiC coating on graphite and isotropic C/C composite. CVR is most effective carbothermal reduction method for conversation of a few micron of carbon layer to SiC. In the CVR method, a sic conversation layer is formed by reaction between carbon and gaseous reagent silicon monoxide at high temperature. Characterization of SiC coating was carried out using SEM. The other properties studied were hardness density and conversion efficiency.

Dual-action agents are unique chemical entities comprised of two different types of antibacterial compounds covalently linked together in a single molecule in such a way that both components are able to exert their bactericidal properties. Crosslinked sulfadiazine-sulfacetamide such as antibiotics synthesized by crosslingking reaction such as glutaraldehyde. These structures of the compounds were confirmed by IR, NMR. 4 strains of Gram(+) and Gram(-) revealed effective susceptibility to synthetic crosslinked sulfadiazine-sulfacetamide.

Background: Polymorphisms of the Taq I gene have been associated with prostate cancer risk. Methods:We applied a fixed-effects model to combine odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). The Egger's test was carried out to evaluate potential publication bias. Results: A total of 10 case-control studies enrolling 1,141 prostate cancer patients and 1,685 controls were included in this meta-analysis. Compared with the T allele, the OR for the C allele was 0.81 (0.70-0.94). The ORs for CT and CC+CT genotypes were 0.86 (0.74-1.01) and 0.84 (0.73-0.97) compared to wide type genotype (homozygote TT). Conclusions: The present meta-analysis suggests that the TF gene Taq I polymorphism may reduce the prostate cancer risk in Asian populations.

Due to its unique physical, mechanical, and chemical properties, hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) is an essential telechelic polymer that is used and applicable in areas ranging from automotive to aerospace and coatings industries. It is a key precursor in polyurethane chemistry and is celebrated for its versatility and ability to undergo various post-polymerization modifications to meet specific industrial needs. This review focuses on the sophisticated methodologies employed to enhance the stability and functionality of HTPB through targeted chemical modifications. Representative techniques include hydrogenation, which suppresses the oxidation susceptibility of polymers by saturating weak double bonds, and epoxidation, which introduces epoxy groups that increase the reactivity and compatibility with polar additives. These modifications not only preserve the inherent attributes of HTPB, they also amplify their utility across a spectrum of applications, from aerospace to automotive industries, where enhanced material performance is critical. This study outlines the challenges in modifying HTPB, discusses the chemical strategies employed, and showcases the improved performance characteristics of the resulting polymers, thus providing a comprehensive overview of the current advancements and future potential of HTPB utilization.

살충제 diazinon과 fenitrothion 및 제초제 butachlor에 대하여, continuous flow system하에서 송사리 생육단계별 감수성 비교를 위한 96시간 급성 독성 실험을 한 결과와 model agrosystem에서 실제 관행량의 butachlor를 살포하여 물속의 butachlor의 농도와 공시어의 각 생육단계별 치사율을 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 가. 농약의 종류에 관계없이 송사리의 가장 민감한 생육단계는 부화후 1주일 경과된 치어시기 즉 stage IV이었다. 나. Continuous flow system하에서 송사리 생육단계별로 96시간 급성독성 실험을 한 결과 유기인계 살충제인 diazinon의 극한치 비율은 21.4이며 fenitrothion의 경우 비율은 8.4이었고, 제초제 butachlor의 극한치 비율은 23.9로서 가장 높은 극한치 비율이 측정되었다. 따라서 3종의 농약중 가장 감수성이 높은 시기에서 가장 낮은 $96h-LC_{50}$값을 나타낸것은 butachlor로서 독성이 강함이 관찰되었다. 다. 논물에서의 butachlor는 살포 2일후 최고치에 도달한 후 반감기는 토양+물에 butachlor를 처리한 군이 6.1일 물에만 butachlor를 처리한 군은 9.7일로 나타났고, butachlor의 용출 및 분해에는 토양에 의한 영향이 컸다. 라. 생육단계별 및 처리별 공시어의 치사율은 통계적으로 유의성이 인정되었으며, 생육단계 별로는 stageⅣ 및 Ⅷ이 가장 butachlor에 대한 감수성이 높았다. 따라서 실제 논에서 butachlor를 관행 시용량을 살포 했을 때 송사리의 생육초기단계에는 많은 영향을 받을 것으로 예상된다. 결국, 농약등의 화학물질에 대한 어류의 생육단계에 따른 감수성 변화는 선택된 어종과 chemical에 따라서 다소의 차이는 있으나 발육 초기단계인 초기 post-larva시기에서 감수성이 가장 높게 나타난다고 사료된다. 따라서 화학물질의 환경독성 평가에 있어서 급성어독성외에 화학물질에 대한 민감도가 높은 시기인 초기생육단계에 미치는 영향도 함께 평가되어야 한다고 생각된다.
