산화억제제로 사용한 이규화 몰리브덴($MoSi_2$)의 함량에 따른 일방향 탄소/탄소 복합재료의 마찰 및 마모 특성에 관하여 대기상태 하에서 정속마찰시험기를 이용하여 측정하였다. 그 결과, 탄소/탄소 복합재료는 마찰온도 150~180${\circ}C$에서 급격한 마찰계수의 전이, 즉 normal wear 영역에서의 낮은 마찰계수(${\mu}$=0.15~0.2)에서 dusting wear 영역에서의 높은 마찰계수(${\mu}$=0.5~0.6)로의 전이를 나타내었다. 이렇게 마찰계수가 전이하는 온도범위의 존재는 탄소/탄소 복합재료로 만든 브레이크가 복합재료의 열적 특성에 큰 영향을 받는다는 것을 의미한다. 그리고 산화억제제인 $MoSi_2$를 가지는 탄소/탄소 복합재료는 이를 함유하지 않은 복합재료에 비해 약 1.5배 정도의 낮은 평균마찰계수 및 마모율을 나타내었으며, 특히 4 wt% $MoSi_2$ 함량을 가진 복합재료가 가장 큰 마모활성화 에너지 값을 나타내었다.

High temperature corrosion behavior of AISI-type 316L stainless steel for the MCFC(molten carbonate fuel cell) bipolar application was studied by immersion test and penetration attack method in anode environment ($650^{\circ}C$, $Li_2CO_3/K_2CO_3=62/38$ mol%, $H_2/CO_2=80/20$ vol%) without or with different $CaCO_3$ content. Not only immersion test method but also morphological observation of samples in the carbonate melts are adopted as experimental methods. With aid of the morphological observation of cross section of samples immersed in a carbonate melt was possible to obtain penetration attack. The concentration effect of $CaCO_3$ inhibitor was investigated in order to verify the optimum concentration for practical application in MCFC stack operation. The corrosion rate in the presence of $CaCO_3$ was proven to be decreased as a function of $CaCO_3$ concentration. The corrosion rate in the presence of $CaCO_3$ was measured with a value of 6.9 mpy which is 2.4 times lower than that of inhibitor-free electrolyte. The cross section microscopy revealed that the internal penetration by oxidation in molten carbonate is very severe. In this case, the attack was occurred not only dissolution loss in the electrolyte by corrosion reaction but also weight gain through oxide layer by internal penetration.

Objective: This study evaluates goat sperm motility in response to metabolic substrates and various inhibitors, aiming to assess the relative contribution of glycolysis and mitochondrial oxidation for sperm movement and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production. Methods: In the present study, two main metabolic substrates; 0 to 0.5 mM glucose and 0 to 30 mM pyruvate were used to evaluate their contribution to sperm movements of goats. Using a 3-chloro-1,2-propanediol (3-MCPD), a specific inhibitor for glycolysis, and carbonyl cyanide 3-chlorophenylhydrazone as an inhibitor for oxidative phosphorylation, cellular mechanisms into ATP-generating pathways in relation to sperm movements and ATP production were observed. Data were analysed using one-way analysis of variance for multiple comparisons. Results: Sperm motility analysis showed that either glucose or pyruvate supported sperm movement during 0 to 30 min incubation. However, the supporting effects were abolished by the addition of a glycolysis inhibitor or mitochondrial uncoupler, concomitant with a significant decrease in ATP production. Although oxidative phosphorylation produces larger ATP concentrations than those from glycolysis, sperm progressivity in relation to these two metabolic pathways is comparable. Conclusion: Based on the present study, we suggest that goat sperm use glucose and pyruvate to generate cellular energy through glycolysis and mitochondrial respiration pathways to maintain sperm movement.

Acid mine drainage occurs when sulfide minerals are exposed to an oxidizing environment. The objective of this study was to inhibit the oxidation of pyrite by applying various coating agent such as $KH_2PO_4$, MgO and $KMnO_4$ over its surface as an oxidation inhibitors. Experiments were conducted for 8 days to test the feasibility of oxidation inhibitors. The optimal condition of coating agent for standard pyrite and IK mine was the combination of 0.01M $KH_2PO_4$, 0.01M NaOAc and 0.01M NaClO. Otherwise, for YD mine the combination of 0.01M $KMnO_4$, 0.01M NaOAc and 0.01M NaClO. The $SO_4^{2-}$ reduction efficiency of pyrite, IK and YD mine samples was 70, 92 and 84%, respectively. For 8 days, no significant increase of $SO_4^{2-}$ from pyrite sample coated with inhibitor was observed. The pH of solution remains in between 4 to 6 for the reaction conditions.

본 연구에서는 고온 산화분위기 하에서 탄소/탄소 복합재료의 내산화 특성 향상을 위해 사용된 이규화 몰리브덴(MoSi$_2$)의 함량(0. 4, 12. 그리고 20 wt%)에 따른 복합재료의 충격특성에 관하여 고찰하였다. 결과로서, MoSi$_2$가 함침된 탄소/탄소 복합재료는 이를 함유하지 않은 것에 비하여 충격특성 향상의 원인이 되는 탄소섬유와 매트릭스 수지간의 계면결합력 증가를 가져왔으며, 특히 12 wt% MoSi$_2$가 현재의 시스템에서 가장 우수한 충격특성을 나타내었다. 이는 복합재료 내의 탄소섬유, 필러, 그리고 매트릭스 수지간의 계면 접착력의 증가를 가져오는 90$0^{\circ}C$ 전후에서 MoSi$_2$의 취성­연성 전이(BDT) 작용 때문이라 사료된다.

Thyroid peroxidase is a biochemical target protein for the antithyroid drugs. Ethanol extracts from one hundred and thirty seven natural products were screened for the inhibition of thyroid peroxidase activity. Thyroid peroxidase was purified from porcine thyroids, and the inhibition of peroxidase activity was evaluated using guaiacol oxidation (C-C coupling) assay. Twenty one natural products expressed a remarkable inhibition (>50%) of peroxidase activity at $330{\mu\textrm{g}}$ solid weight/m. The 50% inhibitory concentration ($IC_{50}$) of 70% ethanol extract from six potent natural products ranged from 3.1 to $31.2{\;}{\mu\textrm{g}}$ solid weight/m, in contrast to the range ($0.33~0.54{\;}{\mu\textrm{g}}/ml$) of $IC_{50}$ values fro catechin and epigallocatechin gallate as positive controls. Noteworthy, the extract of Camellia taliensis showed irreversible inhibition of the enzyme. It is suggested that extract from some natural products such as Camellia taliensis, Rheum undulatum or Euphorbia perinensis, exhibiting a potent inhibition of peroxidase activity, may be developed as sources of potent antithyroid agents.

Enzymatic oxidation of pyrogallol was efficiently transformed to an oxidative product, purpurogallin (PPG). Here, the anticoagulant activities of PPG were examined by monitoring activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), prothrombin time (PT), and the activities of thrombin and activated factor X (FXa). And, the effects of PPG on expression of plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) and tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) were evaluated in tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-${\alpha}$ activated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Treatment with PPG resulted in prolonged aPTT and PT and inhibition of the activities of thrombin and FXa, as well as inhibited production of thrombin and FXa in HUVECs. In addition, PPG inhibited thrombin-catalyzed fibrin polymerization and platelet aggregation. PPG also elicited anticoagulant effects in mice. In addition, treatment with PPG resulted in significant reduction of the PAI-1 to t-PA ratio. Collectively, PPG possesses antithrombotic activities and offers a basis for development of a novel anticoagulant.

To show the effects of metallothionein (MT) on the activity of enzymes involved in the removal of reactive oxygen species, MT has been added to the assay systems of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase and peroxidase. We have used assay systems of SOD based on NADPH oxidation and nitrite formation from hydroxylammonium chloride as an assay of superoxide breakdown rate. The two assay systems showed different results at the high concentration of MT. MT showed the scavenging of superoxide in the SOD assay system in the presence and absence of SOD. MT added to the SOD assay system behaved as an activator of SOD, but apo-MT behaved as an inhibitor. When MT was added to the assay system in the presence of a fixed amount of SOD, the breakdown rate of superoxide increased. The effects of MT on the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide and the activity of catalase and peroxidase decomposing hydrogen peroxide were evaluated. MT decreased the activities of catalase and peroxidase. We have concluded that the function of MT as an antioxidant might effect the level of superoxide scavenging and not the level of hydrogen peroxide.

일반적인 3-전극 시스템의 순환전압전류법을 사용하여 유기부식억제제인 트리에탄올아민(TEA)을 첨가하여 SCM440 강에 대한 전류-전압 곡선을 측정하였다. 그 결과 SCM440 강의 C-V특성은 순환전압전류법으로부터 산화전류에 기인한 비가역 공정으로 나타났다. 확산계수는 부식억제제 TEA의 농도를 $2.5{\times}10^{-4}M$에서 $5.0{\times}10^{-4}M$로 2배로 증가시킴에 따라 확산계수는 각각 $2.561{\times}10^{-6}cm^2s^{-1}$에서 $1.707{\times}10^{-6}cm^2s^{-1}$로 1.5배로 감소하므로 부식억제효과가 좋음을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 전해질 농도변화에 따르는 효과는 전해질 농도를 0.5 N에서 1.0 N로 증가시키면, 확산계수는 각각 $5.12{\times}10^{-6}cm^2s^{-1}$에서 $2.56{\times}10^{-6}cm^2s^{-1}$로 2배로 감소하므로 1.0 N의 전해질의 사용이 적합하였다.
