The acrylic copolymers with variation in side chain were synthesized based on molecular design. Wettability and adhesion properties on the wafer surface were investigated for these acrylic copolymer pressure sensitive adhesives. Three-dimensional networks of linear acrylic copolymers were produced with epoxy-type Tetra-DX cross-linking agent. The effect of cross-linking on adhesion characteristics was investigated. The side chain of acrylic copolymer played more important role in wettability than the interfacial interaction. As the degree of cross-linking increased, both probe tack and peel strength decreased. Also, heat resistance measured by SAFT increased with cross-linking; however, it showed the deterioration when excess cross-linking agent was added.

Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) such as $N^{\varepsilon}$-(carboxy-methyl)lysine (CML) have been implicated in the development of diabetic nephropathy. The aim of this study was to investigate the inhibitory effects of ethanolic extract of Aster koraiensis (AKE) on AGEs formation and AGEs-collagen cross-linking in vitro and CMLs formation in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. AKE significantly inhibited AGEs formation ($IC_{50}$ value of $18.74{\mu}g/mL$) and AGEs-collagen cross-linking ($IC_{50}$ value of 0.274 mg/mL) in vitro than the well-known glycation inhibitor aminoguanidine ($IC_{50}$ value of $72.12{\mu}g/mL$ and 1.99 mg/mL, respectively). AKE (100 mg/kg per day) was given to diabetic rats for 9 weeks. In STZ-induced diabetic rats, severe hyperglycemia was developed, and urinary CMLs and plasma CMLs were markedly increased. Immunohistochemical stain revealed that CMLs were accumulated within renal glomerulus in STZ-induced diabetic rats. However, AKE significantly reduced urinary CMLs and plasma CMLs in diabetic rats. CMLs accumulation was inhibited by AKE treatment in the renal glomerulus. These results suggest that AKE had an inhibitory effect of AGE accumulation in the glomeruli of diabetic rat and could be an inhibitor of AGE-induced protein cross-linking. The oral administration of AKE may significantly help to prevent the progression of diabetic nephropathy in patients with diabetes.

The optimum annealing conditions of corn starch slurry were studied for RS4 type resistant starch production by phosphorylated cross-linking. When a corn starch slurry was cross-linked by using phosphate salts (STMP/STPP mixture) in the presence of 0.9%, 1.2% and 1.5% NaOH/st.ds, a high concentration of NaOH resulted in a rapid increase of the RS contents at the early reaction stage. However, similar RS contents were obtained after 12 h of cross-linking regardless of NaOH concentrations. The annealing treatment was conducted under various conditions such as pH between 2-10, temperature $40-60^{\circ}C$, time 0-14 h followed by phosphorylated cross-linking. The lower slurry pH was for the annealing treatment, the higher RS contents were obtained after cross-linking. When the slurry annealed for various period of time and temperature, a maximal amount of RS was formed after 2 h of annealing at $50^{\circ}C$ of annealing temperature of the starch slurry (pH 2.0). Therefore, an optimal annealing conditions at pH 2.0 and $50^{\circ}C$ for 2 h were proposed under the cross-linking conditions of sodium sulfate 10%/st.ds, NaOH 1.2%/st.ds and 12 h of the reaction time. The RS contents were linearly increased with the increase of phosphate salt addition. The RS4 prepared under the optimal conditions contained RS 72.3% and its phosphorus content was 0.36%/st.ds, which was below the limit (0.4%/st.ds) of modified starch by Korea Food Additives Code.

When illuminated with strong visible light, the reaction center Dl protein of photo system II is photodamage and degraded. Reactive oxygen species and endogenous cationic radicals generated by photochemical reactions are the cause of the damage to the Dl protein. Recently we found that the photodamaged Dl protein cross-links with the surrounding polypeptides such as D2 and CP43 in photosystem II. As the cross-linking reaction is dependent on the presence of oxygen, reactive oxygen species are suggested to be involved. Among the reactive oxygen species examined, ？ OH was most effective in the formation of the cross-linked products. These results indicate that the cross-linking is mostly due to ？ OH generated at photosystem II. The cross-linking site of the Dl protein is not known. As several tyrosine residues exist at the D­E loop of the Dl protein, there is a possibility that di-Tyr is formed between the D­E loop of the Dl protein and surrounding polypeptides during the strong illumination. Therefore, we examined the formation of di-Tyr using the monoclonal antibody against di-Tyr under excess illumination of the photosystem II membranes. The results obtained here suggest that no di-Tyr is formed during the excess illumination of photosystem II.

Backgorund: WEHI-231 B cell line is a representative model for $IgM^+$ mature B cells. To understand the signaling differences between mature and immature B cells, we compared the responsiveness of WEHI-231 and Bal 17 B cell lines to BCR cross-linking. Methods: The extents of tyrosine phosphorylation, ligand-induced internalization, and activation-induced cell death upon BCR cross-linking were compared in two cell lines. Results: Despite a higher expression of BCR, cross-linking of BCR on WEHI-231 cell evoked a weaker level of tyrosine phosphorylation and BCR endocytosis than Bal 17 cells. Furthermore, the endocytosed BCR could not enter the lysosomal compartment and stayed as peripheral spots in WEHI-231 cells. Conclusion: WEHI-231 cell showed preferred BCR-mediated signaling pathways leading to a reduced capability of antigen presentation as well as the enhanced apoptosis in comparision with Bal 17 cells. These results might reflect the signaling differences between mature and immature B cells.

Ground garlic inhibited the cross-linking reaction of myosin and incorporation of monodansylcadaverine (MDC) in salted Alaska pollack surimi catalyzed by transglutaminase (TGase). The component responsible for the inhibition was a thermostable, low molecular weight compound. The component also inhibited microbial transglutaminase (MTGase). The inhibition by garlic was reversibly recovered upon addition of 2-mercaptoethanol. The inhibitory component was therefore hypothesized to contain sulfhydryl groups within its structure. Alliin itself did not inhibit the cross-linking reaction. However, the addition of alliin together with garlic increased the inhibition. This result suggested that compounds derived from alliin was responsible for the inhibition of TGase activity.

There is a growing demand for a high voltage silicone rubber composite with high mechanical property and high electrical property. The effect of modified cross-linking agent on the mechanical, electrical properties, and short-circuit test performance of silicone rubber insulators have been investigated. To use base polymer, the various silicone polymers were prepared by the equilibrium polymerization. Aluminum trihydrate surface was treated by vinyl silane. Liquid silicone rubber nanocomposite was prepared from the compounding of VPMPS, HPDMS, catalyst, and alumina trihydrate modified with 1,3,5-trivinyl-l,3,5-trimethylcyclotrisiloxane. The mechanical property and electrical property for insulation materials were measured, indicating the high tensile strength and the good short-circuit property.

We studied about electrical, chemical and mechanical characteristics of XLPE by dicumyl peroxide(DCP) and trimethylolpropane triacrylate(TMPTA) content ratio. DCP content was changed from 1.0 to 2.Sphr increasing 0.5phr. TMPTA content was changed 0.5 to 1.5phr increasing 0.5phr. Thermal analysis (DSC) was carried out in order to observe tendency of Tg according to DCP and TMPTA content. Tensile strength was measured in order to observe mechanical strength. In experimental results, content DCP 2.0phr and TMPTA 1.0phr has highest breakdown strength. Content DCP 2.0phr and TMPTA 0.5phr has lowest dielectric constant. Tendency of Tg did not affected by DCP and TMPTA content. Breakdown strength and Specific inductive capacity was measured.

In this research, the relationships between the chemical structures of 10 different acrylate monomers with 3 different cross-linking monomers were evaluated. The thermal stabilities of the prepared copolymers were evaluated by their weight-loss percentage through thermogravimetric analysis, and their glass-transition temperatures were analyzed using differential scanning calorimetry. Based on the results, some relationships between the chemical structures of the monomers and their properties were derived and are discussed herein.
