Objectives : The present study investigated effects of Artemisia Capillaris Thunberg ethanol extract(EtOH ext). on lowering lipid, anti-oxidation and concentration of plasma inflammatory mediators using rat fed on high oxidized fat. Methods : We divided fat sprague-dawley rats fed on high oxidized into 4 groups. They were normal group, feed with 100 mg/kg Artemisia Capillaris Thunberg group, feed with 200 mg/kg Artemisia Capillaris Thunberg group and feed with 300 mg/kg Artemisia capilaris Thunberg group. They were administered for 4 weeks. We measured concentration of plasma free fatty acid(FFA), plasma triglyceride, plasma total cholesterol, and plasma low density lipoprotein-cholesterol(LDL-cholesterol), plasma high density lipoprotein-cholesterol(HDL-cholesterol), concentration of liver total cholesterol and liver triglyceride (TG), concentration of plasma thiobarbituric acid reactive substance(TBARS) and liver thiobarbituric acid reactive substance(TBARS), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity, superoxide dismutase(SOD) activity and catalase(CAT) activity, plasma nitric oxide(NO), ceruloplasmin and ${\alpha}-glycoprotein$. Results : 1. The Artemisia Capillaris Thunberg EtOH ext. groups showed low concentration of plasma FFA, plasma triglyceride, plasma total cholesterol and plasma LDL-cholesterol compared to control group. However, concentration of plasma HDL-cholesterol was increased in the Artemisia Capillaris Thunberg EtOH ext. groups. 2. Concentration of liver total cholesterol and liver TG showed a significantly decrement in all Artemisia Capillaris Thunberg EtOH ext. groups than that of control group. 3. The Artemisia Capillaris Thunberg EtOH ext. groups showed lower values in concentration of plasma TBARS and liver TBARS than that of control group. The values of GSH-Px activity, SOD activity and CAT activity were increased in the Artemisia Capillaris Thunberg EtOH ext. groups. 4. The values of plasma NO, ceruloplasmin and ${\alpha}-glycoprotein$ were decreased in Artemisia Capillaris Thunberg EtOH ext. groups. Conclusions : Based on the results in this study, the Artemisia Capillaris Thunberg EtOH ext. showed a positive effect in lowering lipid, anti-oxidation and decrement of plasma inflammatory mediators.

질산산화법(nitric acid oxidation method)은 저온에서 안정적인 산화막을 형성하는 직접산화공정으로 azeotropic point(68 wt%)인 120도 이하의 온도에서 산화막을 형성한다. 120도에서 형성한 질산산화막은 CVD법으로 형성한 산화막 보다 낮은 누설전류밀도(leakage current density)를 나타낸다. 또한 질산의 농도가 증가함에 따라 형성한 산화막의 누설전류밀도가 감소하며, 이는 열산화법으로 형성한 산화막 보다 낮다. 질산산화의 낮은 누설전류밀도는 형성한 산화막의 높은 원자 밀도와 낮은 계면준위밀도에 의한 것으로 이 특성을 이용하여 게이트 절연막(gate insulator)과 태양전지의 passivation막으로 응용되고 있다.

To identify the effect and mechanism of carbon monoxide (CO) on delayed rectifier K⁺ currents (I_K) of human cardiac fibroblasts (HCFs), we used the wholecell mode patch-clamp technique. Application of CO delivered by carbon monoxidereleasing molecule-3 (CORM3) increased the amplitude of outward K⁺ currents, and diphenyl phosphine oxide-1 (a specific I_K blocker) inhibited the currents. CORM3-induced augmentation was blocked by pretreatment with nitric oxide synthase blockers (L-NG-monomethyl arginine citrate and L-NG-nitro arginine methyl ester). Pretreatment with KT5823 (a protein kinas G blocker), 1H-[1,-2,-4] oxadiazolo-[4,-3-a] quinoxalin-1-on (ODQ, a soluble guanylate cyclase blocker), KT5720 (a protein kinase A blocker), and SQ22536 (an adenylate cyclase blocker) blocked the CORM3 stimulating effect on I_K. In addition, pretreatment with SB239063 (a p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase [MAPK] blocker) and PD98059 (a p44/42 MAPK blocker) also blocked the CORM3's effect on the currents. When testing the involvement of S-nitrosylation, pretreatment of N-ethylmaleimide (a thiol-alkylating reagent) blocked CO-induced I_K activation and DL-dithiothreitol (a reducing agent) reversed this effect. Pretreatment with 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(1-methylpyridinium-4-yl)-21H,23H porphyrin manganese (III) pentachloride and manganese (III) tetrakis (4-benzoic acid) porphyrin chloride (superoxide dismutase mimetics), diphenyleneiodonium chloride (an NADPH oxidase blocker), or allopurinol (a xanthine oxidase blocker) also inhibited CO-induced I_K activation. These results suggest that CO enhances I_K in HCFs through the nitric oxide, phosphorylation by protein kinase G, protein kinase A, and MAPK, S-nitrosylation and reduction/oxidation (redox) signaling pathways.

In this study, oxidized graphene nanoplatelet(GO) was prepared by oxidizing graphene nanoplatelet(GNP) with nitric acid in order to solve the problem of dispersion of GNP, one of nano materials. GNP/Epoxy and GO/Epoxy paint were prepared by mixing GNP, GO with 0.1, 0.3, 0.5 and 1.0 wt.% in epoxy paint and the mechanical properties were evaluated. As a result, GNP/Epoxy and GO/Epoxy paints showed better mechanical properties than Neat Epoxy which did not incorporate GNP, GO. Especially, when 0.3 wt.% of GO was incorporated into epoxy resin, it showed higher tensile strength than Neat Epoxy. It was confirmed that acid treatment of GNP was effective in improving the mechanical properties of epoxy paint. However, graphene material was found that it was not effective in improving the bond performance of the epoxy paint.

백금과 티탄늄-이리듐전극으로 0.5 M의 철(II)과 코발트(II) 이온을 함유한 8.0 M의 질산용액 중에서 분자량이 1000, 4000, 20000인 폴리에틸렌글리콜류의 매개전해산화를 하였다. Fe(III)/Fe(II)와 Co(III)/Co(II) 산화환원계를 이용하여 전류밀도, 전극종, 전해질농도, 제거효율 등을 검토하였다. 백금전극 상에서 $0.67A/cm^2$의 전류밀도로 180~210 min 간 Fe(III)/Fe(II)와 Co(III)/Co(II) 전해환원계에서 매개전해산화에 의하여 폴리에틸렌글리콜류는 탄산가스로 분해되었다. 매개전해산화시 폴리에틸렌글리콜류의 제거효율은 Fe(III)/Fe(II) 산화환원계보다 Co(III)/Co(II) 산화환원계가 우수하였고 분자량이 1000, 4000, 20000인 폴리에틸렌글리콜류의 매개전해산화 제거효율은 100%이었다.

원자력산업에서의 지르코늄합금 튜브 제조공정은 튜브 산세 시 질산과 불산을 사용하고 있어 세척 시 발생되는 폐수의 주요 오염물질은 질산성질소와 불소성분으로 이루어져 있다. 오염물질인 불소와 질산성질소의 처리를 위해, 다양한 실험을 거쳐 처리기술을 검토한 결과를 토대로, 당사의 폐수처리공정은 1차 화학응집처리에 의한 불소성분 제거공정, 황산화 탈질반응을 이용한 SOD (Sulfur Oxidation Denitrification)공법에 의한 독립영양탈질공정, 2차 화학응집처리공정으로 구성하여 운영하고 있다. 본 폐수처리공정의 특징은, 질산성질소제거를 위해 황산화 탈질공법(SOD Process)을 적용한 것이다. SOD공법은 기존의 황탈질공법과는 달리 황과 알칼리성물질을 일체화한 충진담체(JSC Pellet)를 사용한 기술로, 유기탄소원이 전혀 없는 무기계폐수의 탈질기술로서 주목받고 있다. 현재까지 폐수처리장의 운영결과를 보면, 유입수의 평균 T-N농도가 설계값인 100 mg/L를 상회하는 147.55 mg/L이었지만, 처리수의 평균 T-N농도는 12.72 mg/L로 91%의 높은 제거율을 안정하게 유지하고 있다. 이상의 결과로, SOD공법이 무기계 산업폐수의 질산성질소제거에 매우 유용한 공법임이 확인되었으며, 신규 개발한 미생물활성화제(특허출원 중)를 사용함에 의해 증식속도가 늦은 독립영양미생물의 활성이 안정적으로 유지되었다.

In this study, we synthesized a glycosylated derivative of caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) using the amylosucrase from Deinococcus geothermalis with sucrose as a substrate and examined its solubility, chemical stability, and anti-inflammatory activity. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy showed that the resulting glycosylated CAPE (G-CAPE) was the new compound caffeic acid phenethyl ester-4-O-${\alpha}-{\small{D}}$-glucopyranoside. G-CAPE was 770 times more soluble than CAPE and highly stable in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium and buffered solutions, as estimated by its half-life. The glycosylation of CAPE did not significantly affect its anti-inflammatory activity, which was assessed by examining lipopolysaccharide-induced nitric oxide production and using a nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 reporter assay. Furthermore, a cellular uptake experiment using high-performance liquid chromatography analysis of the cell-free extracts of RAW 264.7 cells demonstrated that G-CAPE was gradually converted to CAPE within the cells. These results demonstrate that the glycosylation of CAPE increases its bioavailability by helping to protect this vital molecule from chemical or enzymatic oxidation, indicating that G-CAPE is a promising candidate for prodrug therapy.
