Background: We aimed to investigate the effect of Citrous limon extract (CLE) on oxidative stress-induced cytotoxicity and nitric oxide (NO) generation and the tooth bleaching effect of CLE as a substitute for hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and determine the feasibility and application of CLE as a safe and effective natural tooth bleaching agent. Methods: The protective effect of CLE on H₂O₂-induced cytotoxicity in Raw264.7 macrophages was investigated by the MTT assay. The inhibitory effect of CLE on the generation of H₂O₂-induced NO was confirmed by the NO assay, and the changes in inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) protein expression were confirmed by western blotting. Stained bovine teeth were treated with/without 15% and/or 35% CLE and H₂O₂, 15% sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃) for 3 hours, and were irradiated with/without bleaching light (BL) for 15 minutes. The color change of the treated bovine tooth surface was measured using a colorimeter. Results: The viability of Raw264.7 cells treated with each concentration of CLE and 500 μM H₂O₂ significantly increased as CLE increased, and NO generation and iNOS protein expression were significantly reduced in cells treated with 300 ㎍ CLE+/500 μM H₂O₂+ and 300 ㎍ CLE+/500 μM H₂O₂+/150 ㎍ NaHCO₃+. The bleaching effect of 35% CLE+ was higher than that of 15% CLE+ and 15% NaHCO₃+, and the effect was similar to that of 15% H₂O₂+. The 35% CLE+/15% NaHCO₃+ showed the greatest bleaching effect and was higher than that of the groups irradiated with the BL. The greatest bleaching effect was observed with 35% CLE+/15% NaHCO₃+, followed by 35% H₂O₂+/BL+. Conclusion: CLE inhibited oxidative stress-induced cytotoxicity and NO generation in Raw264.7 cells and, could replace H₂O₂, which causes side effects and risks in teeth breaching treatment. It showed greatest teeth bleaching effect when combined with NaHCO₃. CLE is an effective and safe natural tooth bleaching substitute.

The effects of the methanol subfraction of Pueraria radix on hydrogen peroxide-induced lipid peroxidation and Cd-induced cytotoxicity were investigated in NIH3T3 fibroblasts. After the methanol subfraction treatment, the content of MDA induced by 600${\mu}$M H2O2 significantly decreased in proportion to the subfraction concentrations as well as 50${\mu}$M CdCl2-induced cytotoxicity. Especially, 200$\mu\textrm{g}$/mg concentration of methanol subfraction was strongly shown inhibition of lipid peroxidation and detoxification of Cd. These results suggest that the methanol subfraction of Pueraria radix retains a potential antioxidant and protective effect against cadmium.

Previous studies have shown that one of the primary causes of increased iron content in the brain may be the release of excess iron from intracellular iron storage molecules such as ferritin. Free iron generates ROS that cause oxidative cell damage. Carnosine and related compounds such as endogenous histidine dipetides have antioxidant activities. We have investigated the protective effects of carnosine and homocarnosine against oxidative damage of DNA induced by reaction of ferritin with $H_2O_2$. The results show that carnosine and homocarnosine prevented ferritin/$H_2O_2$-mediated DNA strand breakage. These compounds effectively inhibited ferritin/$H_2O_2$-mediated hydroxyl radical generation and decreased the mutagenicity of DNA induced by the ferritin/$H_2O_2$ reaction. Our results suggest that carnosine and related compounds might have antioxidant effects on DNA under pathophysiological conditions leading to degenerative damage such as neurodegenerative disorders.

Ramjets are capable of much higher specific impulse than liquid rocket engines for high speed flight in the atmosphere. Ramjets, however, cannot generate thrust at low flight speed. Therefore, an additional propulsion device to accelerate the ramjet vehicle to a supersonic speed is required. In this study, we propose a novel ramjet propulsion system with a $H_2O_2$/Kerosene rocket as the accelerator for initial stage. In order to test the feasibility of this concept, consecutive reactors was built; one for the decomposition of $H_2O_2$ and the other for kerosene combustion. Decomposed $H_2O_2$ jet was injected to combustor through converging nozzle from gas generator and over this hot oxygen jet, kerosene was injected by spay injector. Through the various test cases, hypergolic ignition test was carried out and steady combustion was achieved.

남조류 독소인 마이크로시스틴은 여름철 우리나라 여러 호수들에 존재하여 물고기와 가축 그리고 인간에게 강한 독성을 나타내는 독소이다. 본 연구에서는 화학적 산화제인 염소($Cl_2$), 과망간산칼륨($KMnO_4$), 과산화수소수($H_2O_2$)를 이용하여 마이크로시스틴중 가장 독성이 강한 마이크로시스틴 LR의 분해실험을 시도하였다. 수중 마이크로시스틴LR의 농도 측정은 마이크로시스틴 LR의 단일클론항체를 이용한 효소면역흡착분석법으로 측정하였다. 실험결과 염소는 마이크로시스틴 LR의 농도 800 pg/mL, $Cl_2$의 농도 12 ppm, 암소방치시간 40분, pH 7에서 가장 잘 분해되었으며, 또한 pH 8 이상에서는 독소 파괴가 눈에 띄게 감소하였다. 과망간산칼륨의 경우 마이크로시스틴 LR의 농도 2000 pg/mL, $KMnO_4$의 농도 1.2 ppm, 암소방치시간 60분, pH 7에서 가장 잘 분해되었다. 그러나 과산화수소수에 의한 마이크로시스틴 LR의 분해는 느린 화학 반응 속도 때문에 효과적이지 못함을 알수 있었다.

Although soft tunic syndrome (STS) in the ascidian is a serious disease, helpful measures have yet not been established. It was examined in this study by applying aniti-parasitic drugs to eradicate the causative protozoa Azumiobodo hoyamushi from infected ascidians. Formalin was synergistic in killing parasites in vitro when co-treated with hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) or bronopol, but not with chloramine-T or povidone-iodine (PVP-I), when tested with in vitro parasite culture. The synergistic effects did not change when $formalin-H_2O_2$ (or bronopol) ratios were changed. It was found that treatment periods less than 60 min achieved a sub-maximal efficacy. Increasing drug concentration while keeping 30 min period improved anti-parasitic effects. Anti-parasitic effects of $formalin(F)+H_2O_2$(H) were also assessed in an in vivo STS model infected with cultured parasites. It was observed that combined 50 (40F + 10H) and 100 (80F +20H) ppm were effective in partially preventing STS-caused mortality. In horizontally transmitted artificial STS model, significant prevention of ascidian mortality was also observed after 50 ppm. Marked reduction of living parasites were noted after drug treatments in vivo. The results provide a highly useful basis to develop a preventive or treatment measure against the currently uncontrollable STS in the ascidian.

고농도 과산화수소를 이용하는 1,200 N 급 이원추진제 로켓 엔진 개발을 위한 기존 연구와 더불어, 특성길이의 영향 및 추력 측정을 통한 실질적인 성능을 평가하였다. 특성길이는 0.95, 1.07과 1.20 m, 총 3가지 경우에 대하여 실험을 수행하였으며, 특성길이의 증가에 따라 $C^*$ 효율 및 Isp 효율 모두 증가함을 확인하였다. 설계 당량비에서의 최대 $C^*$ 및 Isp 효율은 각각 98.4%와 93.1%로 측정되었다. 엔진 성능 평가 결과를 바탕으로 분해된 과산화수소를 이용한 엔진에서의 최적 특성길이를 제안하고, 설계 당량비에서의 추력 및 비추력 효율을 이용하여 진공에서의 엔진성능을 예측하여 보았다. 그 결과, 지상 218.4 s, 진공 253.3 s의 비추력과, 진공 추력 1035.3 N의 성능을 예상할 수 있다.

블랙드로스로부터 순수한 알루미나를 회수하기 위해 기계적 처리한 블랙드로스의 수산화나트륨 침출용액을 대상으로 침전실험을 수행했다. 본 연구에서는 합성용액에 과산화수소를 침전제로 첨가했다. 실험변수중 과산화수소의 농도와 과산화수소와 용액의 부피비가 수산화알루미늄의 침전에 큰 영향을 미쳤다. 최적 조건에서 용액중 알루미네이트이온이 대부분 침전되었다. 수산화알루미늄을 $1200^{\circ}C$에서 하소시켜 ${\theta}$와 ${\alpha}$상을 지닌 알루미나를 얻었고 제조한 알루미나의 특성은 XRD와 EDS로 측정했다. 알루미나 입자의 평균 입경은 $3.73{\mu}m$ 이었다.

In order to evaluate on the effect of kaempferol on the cytotoxicity of oxygen tree radicals, XTT assay was performed to determine the cell viability after skin fibroblasts derived from human (Detroit 51) that were treated with various concentrations of hydrogen peroxide $(H_2O_2)$. And also, the effect of kaempferol on the cytotoxicity induced by H202 that was examined by cell viability, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity in these cultures. $H_2O_2$ decreased cell viability in dose-dependent manner in these cultures and the $XTT_{90}\;and\;XTT_{50}$ values were determined at concentration of $35{\mu}M\;and\;90{\mu}M$ of $H_2O_2$ after skin fibroblasts derived from human were treated with $15{\sim}90{\mu}M$ of $H_2O_2$ for 6 hours, respectively. $H_2O_2$ was highly toxic on cultured skin fibroblasts derived from human by toxic criteria of Brenfreund and Puerner (1984). In the protective effect of kaempferol on $H_2O_2$-induced cytotoxicity, kaempferol increased DPPH radical scavenging activity and significantly decreased LDH activity. From these results, it is suggested that oxygen tree radical, $H_2O_2$, was highly toxic on cultured skin fibroblasts derived from human, and also kaempferol of flavonoid showed the protection on $H_2O_2$-induced cytotoxicity.
