The present experiment was performed to investigate the protective effects of paeonol isolated from Moutan Cortex Radicis on primary cultured rat hepatocytes exposed to Br-A23187 ($Ca^{2+}$ ionophore). Br-A23187 is frequently used as a model of cell killing as inducing both necrotic and apoptotic cell death. Hepatocytes were isolated by collagenase perfusion from livers of fasted male Sprague Dawley rats and cultured overnight. Cell viability was determined by propidium iodide using fluorocytometry in Krebs-Ringer-HEPES buffer at pH 7.4. In addition, intracellular calcium was measured by excitation at 340 and 380 nm and emission at 505 nm using a luminescence spectrophotometer. Paeonol (20-100 ${\mu}M$) inhibited cell killing induced by 10 ${\mu}M$ Br-A23187, in a dose-dependent manner. Paeonol also reduced increased intracellular calcium level when hepatocytes were exposed to Br-A23187. Therefore, the present results suggest that paeonol protects the hepatocytotoxicity induced by Br-A23187, via inhibiting the influx of calcium into into rat hepatocytes.

The optical properties of InP/GaP short-period superlattice (SPS) structures grown at various temperatures from $400^{\circ}C$ to $490^{\circ}C$ have been investigated by using temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL) and emission wavelength-dependent time-resolved PL measurements. The PL peak energy for SPS samples decreases as the growth temperature increases. The decreased PL energy of ~10 meV for the sample grown at $425^{\circ}C$ compared to that for $400^{\circ}C$-grown sample is due to the CuPt-B type ordering, while the SPS samples grown at $460^{\circ}C$ and $490^{\circ}C$ exhibit the significant reduction of the PL peak energies due to the combined effects of the formation of lateral composition modulation (LCM) and CuPt-B type ordering. The SPS samples with LCM structure show the enhanced carrier lifetime due to the spatial separation of carriers. This study represents that the bandgap energy of InP/GaP SPS structures can be controlled by varying growth temperature, leading to LCM formation and CuPt-B type ordering.

Changes in accumulated pulsed photostimulated luminescene (PPSL) signals were observed after storage, which affected the ability to detect irradiation in black and white peppers. The PPSL curves were accumulated linearly during the 120 s measurement times, and PPSL signals increased according to irradiation doses. Threshold levels of black and white peppers were below 557$\pm$220 and 503$\pm$92 photon counts in 60 s, and below 679$\pm$351 and 812 $\pm$ 648 photon counts in 120 s, respectively. The PPSL signals of black and white peppers linearly increased with irradiation dose up to 5 kGy, but very little from 5~10 kCy. The accumulated PPSL signals of irradiated black and white peppers had higher decay rates when stored in normal room conditions than in a darkroom Detection of irradiation was possible for up to 12 months after irradiation, if the samples were stored in a darkroom.

The cmc's of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)/Triton X-100 surfactant mixtures were determined by surface tension measurement at various surfactant compositions. The cmc values were lower than those predicted from ideal mixture. The regular solution theory was applied to calculate the interaction parameter, micellar composition, and the activity coefficients of surfactants in the mixed micelle. The interaction parameter (${\beta}$) was - 2.1. The nonideality arised largely from decreased activity of SDS in the mixed micelle. The mean aggregation numbers (${\bar{n}}$) and micropolarity of hydrocarbon region of the mixed micelles were determined by luminescence probe techniques. The total aggregation number (${\bar{n}}_{SDS}+{\bar{n}}_{TX}$) in mixed micelles showed little dependency on the composition of the micelle. The apparent dielectric constant of the hydrocarbon region of the micelle vs micellar composition plot showed positive deviation from linearity. Emission and emission quenching of excited tris(2,2'-bipyridine)ruthenium(Ⅱ) cation, $(Ru(bpy)_3^{2+})$, by methylviologen ($MV^{2+}$) were also investigated in the mixed micellar solutions. The quenching rate was lowest when the mole fraction of SDS in the surfactant mixtures (${\alpha}_{SDS}$) is about 0.25 and highest at ${\alpha}_{SDS}$ = 0.85. This was explained in terms of combined effects of binding of the cations with the micelle and mobility of the bound cations on the surface of the micelles.

Zinc selenide (ZnSe) nanoparticles were synthesized in aqueous solution using glutathione (GSH) as a ligand. The influence of the ligand content, reaction temperature, and hydroxyl ion concentration (pH) on the fabrication of the ZnSe particles was investigated. The optical properties of the synthesized ZnSe particles were characterized using various analytical techniques. The nanoparticles absorbed UV-vis light in the range of 350-400 nm, which is shorter than the absorption wavelength of bulk ZnSe particles (460 nm). The lowest ligand concentration for achieving good light absorption and emission properties was 0.6 mmol. The reaction temperature had an impact on the emission properties; photoluminescence spectroscopic analysis showed that the photo-discharge characteristics were greatly enhanced at high temperatures. These discharge characteristics were also affected by the hydroxyl ion concentration in solution; at pH 13, sound emission characteristics were observed, even at a low temperature of 25℃. The manufactured nanoparticles showed excellent light absorption and emission properties, suggesting the possibility of fabricating ZnSe QDs in aqueous solutions at low temperatures.

The aim of this study is to monitor reporter gene expression under osteocalcin gene promoter, using a real-time molecular imaging system, as tool to investigate osteoblast differentiation. The promoter region of mouse osteocalcin gene 2 (mOG2), the best-characterized osteoblast-specific gene, was inserted in promoterless luciferase reporter vector. Expression of reporter gene was confirmed and relationship between the reporter gene expression and osteoblastic differentiation was evaluated. Gene expression according to osteoblstic differentiation on biomaterials, utilizing a real-time molecular imaging system, was monitored. Luciferase was expressed at the only cells transduced with pGL4/mOGP and the level of expression was statistically higher at cells cultured in mineralization medium than cells in growth medium. CCCD camera detected the luciferase expression and was visible differentiation-dependent intensity of luminescence. The cells produced osteocalcin with time-dependent increment in BMP-2 treated cells and there was difference between BMP-2 treated cells and untreated cells at 14days. There was difference at the level of luciferase expression under pGL4/mOGP between BMP-2 treated cells and untreated cells at 3days. CCCD camera detected the luciferase expression at cells transduced with pGL4/mOGP on Ti disc and was visible differentiation-dependent intensity of luminescence This study shows that 1) expression of luciferase is regulated by the mouse OC promoter, 2) the CCCD detection system is a reliable quantitative gene detection tool for the osteoblast differentiation, 3) the dynamics of mouse OC promoter regulation during osteoblast differentiation is achieved in real time and quantitatively on biomaterial. The present system is a very reliable system for monitoring of osteoblast differentiation in real time and may be used for monitoring the effects of growth factors, drug, cytokines and biomaterials on osteoblast differentiation in animal.

졸-겔법 및 졸-겔법과 연소법을 함께 사용한 하이브리드법으로 각각 얻어진 건식 젤을 열처리하여 $Ba_2SiO_4:Eu^{2+}$ ($B_2S:Eu^{2+}$) 분말을 합성하였으며, 이들 공정에 따른 구조 및 발광 특성 변화를 조사 하였다. Si 공급원으로서는 tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS)를 사용하였다. 졸-겔법에 의한 건식 젤로 하소 과정 없이 합성한 경우 TEOS 양의 변화에 따라서 상전이가 관찰되었으며, 1.2M TEOS에서 $B_2S:Eu^{2+}$ 단일상을 얻었을 수 있었다. 반면에 하소 과정을 거친 1.2M TEOS로 합성된 분말에서는 졸-겔법과 하이브리드법 모두 $B_2S:Eu^{2+}$와 미량의 $BaSiO_3:Eu^{2+}$ ($BS:Eu^{2+}$) 상이 혼재하는 분말을 얻을 수 있었으나, 이들 분말은 하소 과정 없이 합성된 것보다 발광특성이 약 두배 정도 우수하였다. 하이브리드법에 의한 $B_2S:Eu^{2+}$는 졸-겔법에 의한 것에 비하여 발광강도가 약간 떨어지나 공정 시간을 획기적으로 단축 시킬 수 있는 장점을 보이고 있었다. 1.1M TEOS로 하소 과정을 거쳐 하이브리드법으로 얻어진 분말은 $B_2S:Eu^{2+}$ 단일상으로 구성되어 있었으며, $Eu^{2+}$이온의 $4f^65d^1{\rightarrow}4f^7$ 전이에 의한 가장 강한 강도를 갖는 녹색 발광 (505 nm) 스펙트럼을 보이고 있었다.

광섬유 직물 기반 스마트 의류가 국, 내외로 개발되고 있는 실정이며, 기존의 일반적인 광섬유는 직물화가 어렵고 내구성, 내수성이 결여되어 세탁 및 유지 관리의 한계로 인해 에칭된 광섬유사의 표면에 합성수지를 코팅 처리하는 '내수성 광섬유사 가공 기술'이 최근 개발 되었다. 본 연구에서는 제직 후 측광가공 된 유연 광섬유 직물을 대상으로 광섬유사 길이에 따른 특성과 광원 색채에 따른 발광 특성을 분석, 평가하여 디지털 컬러 의류의 적용 적합성을 파악하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 광섬유사 길이에 따른 총 4가지 유연 광섬유 직물시료를 제직하여, 이를 대상으로 광원 색채에 따른 유연 광섬유 직물의 휘도, 물리적 가시도, 지각적 가시도를 측정함으로써 발광특성을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 10cm인 유연 광섬유 직물과 녹색 광원을 사용한 경우가 최대가시거리 100m로 디지털 컬러 의류 즉, 안전보호 기능의 산악복 적용에 가장 적합한 발광효과를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로 본 연구의 결과는 앞으로 유연 광섬유 직물 적용 의류 개발과 관련된 후속 연구의 자료로서 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
