어류의 감염 조직으로부터 edwardsiellosis의 원인균인 Edwardsiella tarda를 whole cell 자체로 직접 검출할 수 있는 solid phase ELISA법을 연구하였다. A. hydrophila ATCC7966, V. anguillarum HUFP5001, Y. ruckeri 11-4, E. ictaluri 및 Streptococcus sp. NG8206 등의 어병세균에 대해 ELISA법으로 실시한 교차반응 분석에서 A. hydrophila ATCC7966 균주와 V. anguillarum HUFP5001 균주가 E. tarda Edk-2에 대한 토끼 항혈청에 대해 높은 교차반응을 나타내었으나, 항혈청을 A. hydrophila ATCC7966 FKC로 흡착시킴으로써 교차반응을 제거할 수가 있었다. 그러나, 응집항체가 측정 결과와는 달리, ELISA 분석에서는 E. tarda 분리 균주간의 교차반응이 매우 높은 것으로 나타났다. Tissue homogenate내에 있는 항원을 검출함에 있어, 조직내의 지질이나 단백질 성분이 함께 분석용 plate에 coating되어 감도가 훨씬 감소하므로 ELISA법의 적용을 위해서는 감염 조직의 homogenate를 PBS에 100배 이상 희석한 후 진단을 실시해야 하는 것으로 나타났다. Tissue homogenate내에 있는 생균을 항원으로 하여 직접 검출할 때에는 검출한계가 $1{\times}10^3$ cells/ml로 나타나 FKC 항원의 사용에 비하여 더 증가된 감도를 보여주었다. 결론적으로 본 ELISA법은 양식장에서 발생한 edwardsiellosis를 진단함에 있어서 특이적이고 신속하며 민감한 방법으로 확인되었다.

The highly potent cytotoxic DNA-DNA cross-linker consists of two cyclopropa[c]pyrrolo[3,4-3]indol-4(5H)-ones insoles [(+)-CPI-I] joined by a bisamido pyrrole (abbreviated to "Pyrrole"). The Pyrrole is a synthetic analog of Bizelesin, which is currently in phase II clinical trials due to its excellent in vivo antitumor activity. The Pyrrole has 10 times more potent cytotoxicity than Bizelesin and mostly form DNA-DNA interstrand cross-links through the N3 of adenines spaced 7 bp apart. The Pyrrole requires a centrally positioned GC base pair for high cross-linking reactivity (i.e., $5^1$-T$AT_2$A*-$3^1$), while Bizelesin prefers purely AT-rich sequences (i.e., $5^1$-T$AT_4$A*-$3^1$, where /(equation omitted) represents the cross-strand adenine alkylation and A* represents an adenine alkylation) (Park et al., 1996). In this study, the high-field $^1$H-NMR and rMD studies are conducted on the 1 1-mer DNA duplex adduct of the Pyrrole where the 5′(equation omitted)TAGTTA*-3′sequence is cross-linked by the drug. A severe structural perturbation is observed in the intervening sequences of cross-linking site, while a normal B-DNA structure is maintained in the region next to the drug-modified adenines. Based upon these observations, we propose that the interplay between the bisamido pyrrole unit of the drug and central C/C base pair (hydrogen-bonding interactions) is involved in the process of cross-linking reaction, and sequence specificity is the outcome of those interactions. This study suggests a mechanism for the sequence specific cross-linking reaction of the Pyrrole, and provides a further insight to develop new DNA sequence selective and distortive cross-linking agents.

3,3',4,4'-Tetrachlorobiphenyl (IUPAC PCB77) is one of seven indicative polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the surface sediments. The current study presents a novel polyclonal antibody for the determination of the PCB77 using indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Under optimum conditions, PCB77 was determined within the concentration range of 0.01-100 ${\mu}g\;L^{-1}$, with a detection limit of 0.057 ${\mu}g\;L^{-1}$. The assays were tested for their cross-reactivity profiles using 3 selected congeners and 4 Aroclor products. The assays were highly specific for coplanar PCB congeners, but less specific for Aroclor1248. The spiked recoveries from five sediment samples were 86%-114% for PCB77 from ELISA, which were satisfactory. The current study demonstrated that the developed antiserum and immunoassay procedure can be used to detect PCB77 in environmental samples. The results of the sediment analysis were confirmed by conventional GC/ECD.

폴리올레핀 산업에서 발생되는 올레핀 함유 배 가스(off-gas)에서 올레핀만을 선택적으로 분리하기 위해, 폴리디메틸실록산(Polydimethylsiloxane)계열의 막 소재들에 대한 올레핀과 질소의 투과특성을 연구하였다. 막 소재로는 가교 형태의 폴리디메틸실록산(Polydimethylsiloxane, 이하 PDMS라 칭함)막, 폴리실록산이미드(Polysiloxaneimide, 이하 PSI라 칭함)막, 아크릴변성 Oligo-PDMS가 부가된 Oligo-PDMS막들을 대상으로 공급기체의 온도($-20{\sim}50^{\circ}C$)와 압력(1∼25 atm)을 변화시키면서 에틸렌($C_2H_4$), 프로필렌($C_3H_6$), 부틸렌($C_4H_8$), 질소($N_2$) 기체의 단일투과특성을 조사하였다. 실험결과, 사용되는 막소재의 특징에 따라 다양한 투과특성을 보였다. 세 가지 막소재중에서 PDMS막이 가장 넓은 사용압력범위에서 높은 에틸렌투과도 및 에틸렌/질소의 분리특성을 보였으며 이 막을 대상으로 여러 투과조건에서 투과특성을 연구하였다. 선택된 가교 PDMS막을 통한 올레핀, 질소 기체들의 투과도는 투과기체의 분자크기(확산도 선택성)보다, 투과기체의 응축온도(용해도 선택성)에 좌우되는 경향을 보였다. 공급기체의 온도가 감소하거나 압력이 증가할 때, 응축성 기체인 올레핀 기체의 투과도는 증가하고, 비응축성 기체인 질소는 감소하는 특징을 보였으며 이에 따라 올레핀/질소의 선택도가 크게 증가하는 특징을 보였다. 이러한 결과들은 고무상 고분자막에서 보여지는 응축성, 비응축성 기체들의 전형적인 투과특성을 보여준다.

Food allergy represents a severe problem for many societies, including sensitive populations, academies, health authorities, and the food industry. Peanut allergy occupies a special place in the food allergy spectrum. To prevent consumption by consumers suffering from a peanut allergy, a rapid and sensitive detection method is essential to identify unintended peanut adulteration in processed foods. In this study, we produced four monoclonal antibodies (MAbs; RO 3A1-12, PB 4C12-10, PB 5F9-23, and PB 6G4-30) specific to thermo-stable and soluble proteins (TSSPs) of peanut and developed an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) based on the MAbs. Among them, PB 5F9-23 MAb was firmly bound to Ara h 1, and other MAbs strongly reacted to Ara h 3 in the Western blot analysis. An antibody cocktail solution of the MAbs was used to enhance the sensitivity of an indirect ELISA, and the limit of detection of the indirect ELISA based on the antibody cocktail solution was 1 ng/ml and improved compared to the indirect ELISA based on the single MAb (11 ng/ml). The cross-reaction analysis revealed the high specificity of developed MAbs to peanut TSSPs without cross-reaction to other food allergens, including nuts. Subsequently, analyzing processed foods by indirect ELISA, all foods labeled as containing peanuts in the product description were confirmed to be positive. The results indicate that the developed antibodies exhibit high specificity and sensitivity to peanuts and can be used as bio-receptors in immunoassays or biosensors to detect intentional or unintentional adulteration of peanuts in processed foods, particularly heat-processed foods.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a natural polymer consisting of disaccharide units of D-glucuronic acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine. It has a great potential and success in cosmetic and biomedical applications. However, native HA is highly soluble and easily metabolized by enzymes such as hyaluronidase. Thus, various studies have been reported on modifying the physicochemical properties of HA, while maintaining its biocompatibility. For controlled drug delivery, many trials for fabricating HA microspheres were achieved under chemical reaction. The HA microspheres fabricated to improve the physical stability of HA using adipic acid dihydrazide (ADH) by cross-linking reaction has been reported earlier, however it lacks the desired physical stability and rapidly decomposes by swelling or enzymes. Therefore, we prepared double cross-linked HA microspheres (DC-HA microspheres) and alginate containing HA microspheres (AC-HA microspheres) to enhance its physicochemical properties. DC-HA microspheres were prepared using trisodium trimetaphosphate (STMP) under crosslinking reaction after ADH cross-linking reaction. AC-HA microspheres were prepared by adding alginate as a networking polymer. These microspheres were characterized by morphology, particle size, zeta potential, stability against hyaluronidase. Results showed that the DC-HA and AC-HA microspheres are more stable than that of HA microspheres.

p-(2-Vinyloxyethoxy)benzylidenemalononitrile 2 and methyl p-(2-vinyloxyethoxy)benzylidenecyanoacetate 3 was prepared by the condensation of p-(2-vinyloxyethoxy)benzaldehyde 1 with malononitrile or methyl cyanoacetate, respectively. Vinyl ether monomers 2 and 3 polymerized quantitatively with radical initiators in γ-butyrolactone solution at 65 ℃. The trisubstituted terminal double bond participated in the vinyl polymerization and radical polymerization of 2 and 3 led to swelling polymers 4 and 5 that were not soluble in common solvents due to cross-linking. Under the same polymerization conditions ethylvinyl ether polymerized well with model compounds of p-methoxybenzylidenemalononitrile 6 and methyl p-methoxybenzylidenecyanoacetate 7, respectively, to give 1:1 alternating copolymers 8 and 9 in high yields. Polymers 4 and 5 showed a thermal stability up to 300 ℃ without any characteristic Tg peaks in DSC thermograms. Alternating copolymers 8 and 9 were soluble in common solvents such as acetone and DMSO, and the inherent viscosities of the polymers were in the range of 0.36-0.74 dL/g. Films cast from acetone solution were cloudy and tough and Tg values obtained from DSC thermograms were in the range of 59-60 ℃.

Highly active, stable, and magnetically separable immobilized enzymes were developed using carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and diethylaminoethyl cellulose DEAE-C; hereafter designated "DEAE" as supporting materials. Iron oxide nanoparticles penetrated the micropores of the supporting materials, rendering them magnetically separable. Lipase (LP) was immobilized on the surface of the supporting materials by using cross-linked enzyme aggregation (CLEA) by glutaraldehyde. The activity of enzyme aggregates coated on DEAE was approximately 2 times higher than that of enzyme aggregates coated on CMC. This is explained by the fact that enzyme aggregates with amine residues are more efficient than those with carboxyl residues. After a 96-h enantioselective ibuprofen esterification reaction, 6% ibuprofen propyl ester was produced from the racemic mixture of ibuprofen by using DEAE-LP, and 2.8% using CMC-LP.

Addition of 30% propylene glycol was required to maintain sink condition in the evaluation of percutaneous absorption of estradiol and norethindrone acetate. The permeability of estradiol was higher in silicone and SIS adhesives. However, estradiol was crystallized in silicone, SIS, and SBS adhesive matrix. The permeability ratio of estradiol or norethindrone acetate from acrylic pressure sensitive adhesives varied widely depending on the functional group of the acrylic adhesives. PEO grafting to acrylic adhesive seemed to change physicochemical property of acrylic adhesive and increased the permeability of estradiol and norethindrone acetate significantly. On the contrary, highly cross-linked enhancer compatible acrylic adhesive decreased the permeability of both estradiol and norethindrone acetate. $Span^{\circledR}$ 20 provided the highest enhancing effect on the permeability of both estradiol and norethindrone acetate followed by oleic acid and $Crovol^{\circledR}$ EP40. The permeability of the drugs from the developed system was comparable to that from commercial $Combitran^{\circledR}$, although significantly lower amount of estradiol and norethindrone acetate were loaded in the developed system.

Thermosets are highly cross-linked polymers with a three-dimensional molecular structure. The network structure gives rise to mechanical properties, however, one major drawback of thermosets, which also results from their network structure, is their poor resistance to impact and to crack initiation. In this study, to solve this problem, the reactive thermoplastics such as amine terminated polyetherimide (ATPEI), ATPEI-CTBN-ATPEI(ABA) triblock copolymer, CTBN-ATPEI(AB) diblock copolymer, and carboxyl group modified ATPEI was synthesized, after that blended with epoxy resin, and the carbon fiber reinforced composites were fabricated. The impact load, energy, and delamination were investigated by using drop weight impact test and C-scan test. As a results, the ABA/epoxy blend system showed good impact properties.
