ZnO micro/nanocrystals with different morphologies were synthesized by thermal evaporation of various zinc source materials in an air atmosphere. Zinc acetate, zinc carbonate and zinc iodide were used as the source materials. No catalysts or substrates were used in the synthesis of the ZnO crystals. The scanning electron microscope(SEM) image showed that the morphology of ZnO crystals was strongly dependent on the source materials, which suggests that source material is one of the key factors in controlling the morphology of the obtained ZnO crystals. Tetrapods, nanogranular shaped crystals, spherical particles and crayon-shaped crystals were obtained using different source materials. The X-ray diffraction(XRD) pattern revealed that the all the ZnO crystals had hexagonal wurtzite crystalline structures. An ultraviolet emission was observed in the cathodoluminescence spectrum of the ZnO crystals prepared via thermal evaporation of Zn powder. However, a strong green emission centered at around 500 nm was observed in the cathodoluminescence spectra of the ZnO crystals prepared using zinc salts as the source materials.

아연비료로서 ZnEDTA와 $ZnSO_4$의 유효도를 평가하기 위해서 수도의 아연흡수 실험을 시도했다. 수도의 아연흡수에 있어서 급원별(給源別) 아연 유효도는 토양에 따라서 차이(差異)가 있었다. pH가 높은 제천(提川) 석회암질(石灰岩質) 토양에서는 ZnEDTA가 $ZnSO_4$보다 수도체아연 농도(濃度)와 아연 흡수량(吸收量)을 증가시키는데 더 유효했다. 그러나 산성(酸性)인 금곡토양의 경우도 ZnEDTA의 유효성이 인정(認定)되지 않았다. ZnEDTA를 처리(處理)한 제천(提川) 석회암질(石灰岩質) 토양에서 생육(生育)한 수도는 $ZnSO_4$ 처리구 수도보다 분얼수와 초장(草丈)이 컸고 건물생산량(建物生産量)도 높았다. 아연급원에 관계없이 아연와 유기물(有機物) 처리구에서 자란 수도의 분얼수, 초장(草丈), 건물생산량(建物生産量)은 모두 다 적었다. 이것은 유기물(有機物)을 첨가(添加)하므로서 시비(施肥) 아연의 고정(固定)이 더 일어나서 수도체의 아연수율이 적기 때문이라고 본다. 아연고정 정도(程度)는 제천(提川) 석회암질(石灰岩質) 토양에서 컸다.

ZnO의 나노 구조는 화학적으로 안정하고 큰 결합에너지를 가지는 성질 때문에 청색 영역에서 작동하는 광전소자의 제작에 대단히 유용하다. ZnO 나노 구조들은 화학 기상 성장법, 기상 에피텍시 성장법, 화학적 용액 성장법과 같은 여러 가지 방법으로 성장하고 있다. 여러 가지 성장방법 중에서도 전기 화학 증착법으로 성장된 ZnO의 나노 구조는 가격이 저렴하고 낮은 온도에서 성장이 가능하며 대면적화를 할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 전기 화학 증착법으로 ZnO을 성장할 때 3개의 전극을 사용하여 성장하였다. ITO 기판을 음극으로 백금 전극을 양극으로 사용하였고 기준 전극은 Ag/AgCl을 사용하였다. Zinc Nitrate의 몰 농도를 변화하면서 ZnO 나노구조를 성장 하였다. 성장한 ZnO 나노구조를 $400^{\circ}C$에서 2 분정도 열처리를 하였다. 성장된 ZnO을 X-선회절장치를 분석하게 되면 (0002) 피크가 $34.35^{\circ}$에서 주되게 나타났다. 주사 전자 현미경상은 Zinc Nitrate의 몰 농도가 낮을 때 성장한 ZnO 는 나노세선 형태로 형성되었음을 보여주었다. Zinc Nitrate의 농도가 높아지게 되면 ZnO 나노구조가 나노 막대 또는 나노 접시 모양으로 변화되었다. 300 K에서 광루미네선스 스펙트럼은 형성된 나노구조가 엑시톤과 관련된 주된 피크가 Zinc Nitrate 농도에 따라 변화하게 되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이 실험결과는 ZnO 나노구조의 미세구조와 광학적 성질이 Zinc Nitrate의 농도에 영향을 많이 받는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The effect of dietary zinc deficiency and age on lipid peroxide level was investigaed in rats. Zinc level in serum and liver were also measured. Fifty Sprague-Dawly male rats aging 8 months(older rats) and 2 months(younger rats) were used as experimental animal. Zinc deficient diet(1.1ppm) and normal zinc diet(36.5ppm) were used as experimental diets. Rats in each age group were divided into zinc deficient(ZnDF), zinc pair-fed(ZnPF) and zinc ad-libitum(ZnAL) to remove the variances of food intake. After 4 weeks of experimetal period, rats were sacrificed. Thiobarbituric acid reactive substance(TBARS) levels in plasma and liver, lipofuscin and conjugated diene levels in liver were measured as lipid peroxide index. Food intakes of all groups were not different because zinc deficiency did not reduce food intake in ZnDF group. Younger rats gained weight continuously, while older rats lost weight in the begining of experiment and regained afterwards. In older rats, serum zinc level was decreaed while plasma TBARS. level was increased in ZnDF group. In younger rats, plasma TBARS concentration was increased in dietary zinc deficient rats although serum zinc concentration was not reduced. Liver zinc concentration was significantly higher in older rats comparing to younger rats. However, there was no difference among the three dietary groups. Liver TBARS level was not different by age or dietary zinc level. However it was tended to be higher in older rats. However there was no difference by the dietary zinc level. In both age groups, ZnDF group significantly increased plasma TBARS levels, which suggested dietary zinc deficiency could increase lipid peroxidation in part. Significantly higher levels of lipofuscin and conjugated diene in older rats suggested lipid peroxidation was accelerated by aging.

It is well established that zinc plays an important role in bone metabolism and mineralization. The role of zinc in bone formation is well documented in animal models, but not much reported in cell models. In the present study, we evaluated zinc deficiency effects on osteoblastic cell proliferation, alkaline phosphatase activity and expression, and extracellular matrix bone nodule formation and bone-related gene expression in osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells. To deplete cellular zinc, chelexed-FBS and interpermeable zinc chelator TPEN were used. MC3T3-E1 cells were cultured in zinc concentration-dependent (0-15 ${\mu}M\;ZnCl_2$) and time-dependent (0-20 days) manners. MC3T3-E1 cell proliferation by MTT assay was increased as medium zinc level increased (p<0.05). Cellular Ca level and alkaline phosphatase activity were increased as medium zinc level increased (p<0.05). Alkaline phosphatase expression, a marker of commitment to the osteoblast lineage, measured by alkaline phosphatase staining was increased as medium zinc level increased. Extracellular calcium deposits measured by von Kossa staining for nodule formation also appeared higher in Zn+(15 ${\mu}M\;ZnCl_2$) than in Zn-(0 ${\mu}M\;ZnCl_2$). Bone formation marker genes, alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin, were also expressed higher in Zn+ than in Zn-. The current work supports the beneficial effect of zinc on bone mineralization and bone-related gene expression. The results also promote further study as to the molecular mechanism of zinc deficiency for bone formation and thus facilitate to design preventive strategies for zinc-deficient bone diseases.

The study was designed to assess the zinc nutritional status by gestational age of pregnant women visiting in public health centers in Ulsan. The subjects were divided into 3 trimester by last menstrual period(LMP). Interview for dietary zinc intake and general characteristics of each subjects was given and biochemical analysis of blood and urine was performed. Serum zinc concentration and urinary zinc excretion were analyzed by Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer, and alkaline phosphatase(ALP) activity was analyzed by Bowers & McComb\\`s method with Schimadzu automatic analyser. Also urinary creatinine was analyzed by Hawk\\`s method. Mean intake of zinc was 6.61${\pm}$1.57mg and did not meet the RDA(44.1% of RDA) for pregnant women by gestational age. Zn intake of 3rd trimester was significantly increased but dietary zinc was almost supplied with cereal and grain (47.30%) which were reported with low zinc availability due to phytate. Mean concentration of serum Zn in 1st trimester was 86.4${\pm}$10.5$\mu\textrm{g}$/dl, was 72.4${\pm}$10.3$\mu\textrm{g}$/dl in trimester and 65.1${\pm}$10.8$\mu\textrm{g}$/dl in 3rd trimester and was declined significantly by gestational age during pregnancy. In was concluded that a decline in serum Zn by gestional age was not influenced by amount of Zn intake. However ALP activity and urinary zinc excretion increased significantly by gestational age. Zinc nutritional status of pregnant women was not confirmed yet due to the physiological changes during pregnancy. However, the pregnant woman may be in a marginal zinc deficient status because of low amount of Zn intake and low bioavailability of Zn from dietary sources.

암모니아수와 zinc acetate로부터 액상 수열합성법에 의한 ZnO의 제조에 있어 반응온도, 반응물의 농도와 혼합방법, 용액의 pH 등 반응조건에 따른 ZnO 입자의 형상과 입자분포 등 제조특성을 고찰하고, UV 조사하에 tartrazine의 광분해를 측정하여 합성된 ZnO의 광촉매로서의 성능을 확인하였다. 반응용액의 pH가 높을수록 ZnO 입자의 평균 크기는 증가하였고, zinc acetate의 농도가 증가할수록 그리고 반응온도가 증가할수록 입자의 크기는 감소하였다. 반응용액의 혼합시 암모니아수 주입 후에 zinc acetate를 첨가하였을 경우 더 작은 입자를 얻을 수 있었다. 최소 크기의 ZnO 입자의 생성을 위한 최적 조건은 용액의 pH 11.2, zinc acetate의 농도 0.6 M, 반응온도 $90^{\circ}C$였으며, 입자 평균크기는 3.133 ${\mu}$m이었다. 합성온도 $80^{\circ}C$, zinc acetate 농도 1.0M 및 반응용액의 pH 11.2의 조건에서 합성된 ZnO에 의한 tartrazine의 광촉매 분해는 분해시간 60분에서 약 97%의 분해율을 보였다.

The effect of helminthiasis on zinc metabolism was monitored using endogenous $^{65}Zn$ after intraperitoneal injection of 1 g of $^{65}Zn$ as zinc chloride. In the first experiment zinc turnover was investigated in 18 male weanling rats, which were randomly divided into 3 groups. One group was infected with 73 third stage larvae of Nippostrongylus brasiliensis per gram body weight ; the other groups were the pair-fed and ad lib-fed controls. The route of loss of zinc was investigated in the second experiment with the same design using 18 animals with a lower dose of infection (33 larvae per gram body weight). The biological half life of endogenous $^{65}Zn$ was lower (p<0.05) in the infected group as compared to the controls. In the later phase of infection (9th to 16th day) there was reduced retention of $^{65}Zn$ and increased loss (p<0.05) of $^{65}Zn$ from the body though urine and faeces. It was concluded that infection of N. brasiliensis was accompanied by increased loss of endogenous Zn through faeces and urine.

본 연구자는 Zinc Selenium autometallography ($ZnSe^{AMG}$) (Danscher et al., 1997) 염색법을 중심으로 중추신경계통 내 zinc ($Zn^{2+}$)의 분포와 이들을 함유하고 있는 신경종말, 소위 ZEN(zinc-enriched) terminals의 미세구조에 관하여 보고한 바 있다. 이번 연구에서는 다른 몇 가지, 즉 Neo-Timm staining (Danscher, 1982), TSQ fluorescence staining (Frederickson et al.,1987), Zinc transporter-3 Immunohistochemistry ($ZnT3^{IHC}$) (Palmiter et at., 1997) 염색법으로 흰쥐 해마복합체에 분포하는 $Zn^{2+}$를 염색한 후 이들의 염색패턴에서 차이점을 밝히고자 하였다. $ZnSe^{AMG}$ 염색법은 $Zn^{2+}$에 대한 특이성은 다소 떨어지나 광학 및 전자현미경하에서 관찰이 가능하며, 반영구적인 표본으로 보관이 가능하다는 장점이 있었고, TSQ는 $Zn^{2+}$에 대한 특이성이 매우 높을 뿐 아니라 그 염색법이 매우 간단하다는 장점이 있는 반면 형광물질의 안정성과 표본보관이 용이하지 않다는 단점이 있다. 그 외 Neo-Timm 염색법은 TSQ형광염색법과 유사한 염색 패턴을 보였으며, $ZnT3^{IHC}$염색법은 오히려 $ZnSe^{AMG}$에 가까운 염색의 결과를 보였다. 본 연구의 결과는 중추신경계통 내 $Zn^{2+}$에 관한 형태학적 연구에서 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
