A chemically sintered and binder-free paste of TiO₂ nanoparticles (NPs) was prepared using a binary-liquid mixture of 1-octanol and CCl₄. The 1:1 (v/v) complex of CCl₄ and 1-octanol easily interacted chemically with the TiO₂ NPs and induced the formation of a highly viscous paste. The as-prepared binary-liquid paste (P_BL)-based TiO₂ film exhibited the complete removal of the binary-liquid and residuals with the subsequent low-temperature sintering (~150℃) and UV-O₃ treatment. This facilitated the fabrication of TiO₂ photoanodes for flexible dye-sensitized solar cells (f-DSSCs). For comparison purposes, pure 1-octanol-based TiO₂ paste (P_O) with moderate viscosity was prepared. The P_BL-based TiO₂ film exhibited strong adhesion and high mechanical stability with the conducting oxide coated glass and plastic substrates compared to the P_O-based film. The corresponding low-temperature sintered P_BL-based f-DSSC showed a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 3.5%, while it was 2.0% for P_O-based f-DSSC. The P_BL-based low- and high-temperature (500℃) sintered glass-based rigid DSSCs exhibited the PCE of 6.0 and 6.3%, respectively, while this value was 7.1% for a 500℃ sintered rigid DSSC based on a commercial (or conventional) paste.

The epidemiological, animal and cell effects of plant metabolites suggest versatile health benefits of flavonoids. However, whether flavonoids affect the deleterious biological activity of oxygenated cholesterol molecules remains to be elucidated. The present study investigated the effects of 4'-O-methylalpinumisoflavone (mAI) isolated from Maclura tricuspidata (Cudrania tricuspidata) on the 27-hydroxycholesterol (27OHChol)-induced activation of monocytes/macrophages using human THP-1 cells. mAI dose-dependently impaired the expression of C-C motif chemokine ligand (CCL)2 chemokine and the migration of monocytic cells enhanced by 27OHChol. mAI downregulated the surface and cellular levels of CD14 and inhibited the release of soluble CD14. This isoflavone significantly weakened the lipopolysaccharide responses that were enhanced in the presence of 27OHChol, and inhibited the transcription and secretion of the active gene product of matrix metalloproteinase-9. mAI also suppressed the expression of C-C motif chemokine receptor 5 ligands, including CL3 and CCL4, and M1-phenotype markers induced by 27OHChol. Furthermore, mAI impaired phosphorylation of the nuclear factor-κB p65 subunit without affecting the phosphorylation of Akt. These results indicate that mAI inhibits the activation of monocytes/macrophages to the immunostimulatory phenotype in a milieu rich in 27OHChol, suggesting potential benefits of the flavonoid for the treatment of diseases in which the pathogenesis is linked to 27OHChol-induced inflammatory responses.

기존에 membrane의 소재로 사용되어 왔던 Polyethersulfone은 막 제조 특성이 우수하고 여러 가지 환경에 대한 저항성이 뛰어나서 많이 이용되어 왔지만 소수성을 띠므로 농도분극과 fouling등 많은 문제점을 안고 있다. 이런 문제점을 극복하기 위하여 친수성의 도입, 물리적, 화학적 세척등 여러 가지 방법을 사용하고 있고 본 연구에서는 hydrophobic Polyethersulfone에 hydrophilic Sulfonate group(-SO$_3$H)을 도입하여 이와같은 문제를 극복하고자 했다. 본 연구에서 사용한 sulfonating agent로는 Chlorosulfonic acid (in CCl$_4$)를 사용하였다.

$^{13}C$ NMR chemical shifts for 18 ${\alpha}-susbstituted$ toluenes at high dilution in $CCl_4$ solution have been determined. Substituents are as follows: H, Me, Et, n-Pr, iso-Pr, Ph, F, Cl, Br, $NH_2$, NHMe, $NMe_2$, OH, OMe, OCOMe, $CO_2Me$, $CO_2Et$, CN. Those chemical shifts of the methylene carbon of the toluene and the ${\alpha}-carbon$ of the n-butane systems are correlated well. (r=.975, slope=.962)

Hepatoprotective activity of different extracts of Citrullus colocynthis L. sch. (roots) (cucurbitaceae) was investigated in albino rats by inducing hepatotoxicity with carbon tetrachloride. The alcoholic extract of Citrullus colocynthis sch. 100 mg/kg b.w. has been shown to posses significant hepatoprotective effect by lowering the serum level of transaminases (GPT & GOT), alkaline phosphate (ALP) and bilirubin (P < 0.05 to P < 0.001).

산업폐기물 소각시스템으로 현재 널리 이용되고 있는 대형 로타리 킬른형 소각로를 모델로 선정하여 소각로 설계에 필요한 제반변수에 대한 영향을 슈퍼컴퓨터를 이용하여 분석하였다. 화염억제 작용이 있으며 소각처리시 유독물질을 배출하는 $CCl_4$를 폐기물로 주입하는 경우 비평형 난류반응모델을 도입하여 반응장 해석을 한 결과 실험결과와 정성적으로 일치된 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.
