The kinetics of direct methanation over activated charcoal-supported molybdenum catalyst at 30 bar was studied in a cylindrical fixed-bed reactor. When the temperature was not higher than 400℃, the CO conversion increased with increasing temperature according to the Arrhenius law of reaction kinetics. While XRD and Raman analysis showed that Mo was present as Mo oxides after reduction or methanation, TEM and XPS analysis showed that Mo₂C was formed after methanation depending on the loading of Mo precursor. When the temperature was as high as 500℃, the CO conversion was dependent not only on the Arrhenius law but also on the catalyzed reaction by nanoparticles, which came off from the reactor and thermocouple by metal dusting. These nanoparticles were made of Ni, Fe, Cr and alloy, and attributed to the formation of carbon deposit on the wall of the reactor and on the surface of the thermocouple. The carbon deposit consisted of amorphous and disordered carbon filaments.

A novel mannose-binding tuber lectin with in vitro antiproliferative activity towards human cancer cell lines and antiviral activity against HSV-II was isolated from fresh tubers of a traditional Chinese medicinal herb, Typhonium divaricatum (L.) Decne by a combined procedure involving extraction, ammonium sulfate precipitation, ion exchange chromatography on DEAE-SEPHAROSE, CM-SEPHAROSE and gel-filtration on sephacryl S-200. The apparent molecular mass of the purified Typhonium divaricatum lectin (TDL) was 48 kDa. TDL exhibits hemagglutinating activity toward rabbit erythrocytes at 0.95 $\mu$g/ml, and its activity could be strongly inhibited by mannan, ovomucoid, asialofetuin and thyroglobulin. TDL showed antiproliferative activity towards some well established human cancer cell lines, e.g. Pro-01 (56.7 $\pm$ 6.8), Bre-04 (41.5 $\pm$ 4.8), and Lu-04 (11.4 $\pm$ 0.3). The anti-HSV-II activity of TDL was elucidated by testing its HSV-II infection inhibitory activity in Vero cells with $TC_50$ and $EC_50$ of 5.176 mg/ml and 3.054 $\mu$g/ml respectively. The full-length cDNA sequence of TDL was 1145 bp and contained an 813-bp open reading frame (ORF) encoding a 271 amino acid precursor of 29-kDa. Homology analysis showed that TDL had high homology with many other mannose-binding lectins. Secondary and three-dimensional structures analyses showed that TDL is heterotetramer and similar with lectins from mannose-binding lectin superfamily, especially those from family Araceae.

Composite membranes with a titania layer were prepared by soaking-rolling method with the titania sol of nanoparticles formed in the sol-gel process and investigated regarding the vapor permeation of various organic mixtures. The support modification was conducted by pressing $SiO_2$ xerogel of 500 nm in particle size under 10 MPa on the surface of a porous stainless steel (SUS) substrate and designed the multi-layered structure by coating the intermediate layer of ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$. Microstructure of titania membrane was affected by heat-treatment and synthesis conditions of precursor sol, and titania formed at calcination temperature of 300$^{\circ}C$ with sol of [$H^+$]/[TIP]=0.3 possessed surface area of 210 $m^2$/g, average pore size of 1.25 nm. The titania composite membrane showed high $H_2/N_2$ selectivity and water/ethanol selectivity as 25-30 and 50-100, respectively. As a result of vapor permeation for water-alcohol and alcohol-alcohol mixture, titania composite membrane showed water-permselective and molecular-sieve permeation behavior. However, water/methanol selectivity of the membrane was very low because of chemical affinity of permeants for the membrane by similar physicochemical properties of water and methanol.

Using a single step chemical synthesis, we synthesized the potential tumor imaging agent $^{99m}Tc$-diglucose-diethylenetriamine (DGTA) from diethylenetriamine and natural D-glucose. 10 min Incubation of 10 mg of precursor with 50 ${\mu}g$ of $SnCl_2{\cdot}2H_2O$ at room temperature yielded over 95% of $^{99m}Tc$ labeling. The stability for 6 hours in saline or human plasma was over 90%. In vitro tumor cell uptake assays using the SNU-C5 and 9 L cell lines showed that, in 0-400 mg/dL glucose medium, cell uptake of $^{99m}Tc$-DGTA was 1.5-8 times higher than that of [$^{18}F$]FDG. Moreover, [$^{18}F$]FDG uptake was dependent on glucose concentration in the medium, whereas cellular uptake of $^{99m}Tc$-DGTA was not dependent on glucose concentration, suggesting that the two compounds have different uptake mechanisms by tumor cells.

A method based on ethyl acetate extraction and gas chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry was developed for determining tetraconazole residues in fruits and vegetables. A 10 g homogenized sample was mixed with 10 mL ethyl acetate, shaken vigorously for 3 min, stored at $-20^{\circ}C$ for 15 min, and then vortexed vigorously for 1 min; 1 g NaCl and 4 g anhydrous $MgSO_4$ were added. The clean-up was carried out by applying dispersive solid-phase with 150 mg $MgSO_4$and 50 mg primary secondary amine. Three precursor product ion transitions for tetraconazole were measured and evaluated to provide the maximum degree of confidence. Average recoveries in fruits and vegetables at three levels (0.005, 0.05 and 0.5 mg/kg) ranged from 85.53% to 110.66% with relative standard deviations ($RSD_r$) from 1.3% to 17.5%. The LODs ranged from 0.002 to 0.004 ${\mu}g$/kg, and LOQs ranged from 0.006 to 0.012 ${\mu}g$/kg. This method was also applied to determine tetraconazole residue in cucumber dissipation experiment under field conditions. The half-lives of tetraconazole in cucumber were in the range of 2.1-3.1 days.

An atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APcI) LC/MS/MS method was developed for the simultaneous analysis of fluoroquinolones (norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, enrofloxacin, danofloxacin) residues in eggs. The spiked and blank samples were extracted from whole eggs using 50mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.4). The extract was cleaned up by passage though $Oasis^{(R)}$ MAX extraction cartridge for solid-phase extraction followed by elution with 4% formic acid in methanol. The extract of sample was separated on a Waters $Atlantis^{TM}$ $dC_{18}$ reversed-phase column ($4.6{\times}150mm,\;5{\mu}m$) and analyzed by APcI positive mode mass spectrometry. The mobile phase consists of aqueous 0.2% nonafluoropentanoic acid (NFPA) and methanol. Multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) using the precursor to product ion combinations of m/z $320\;{\dashrightarrow}\;302,\;332\;{\dashrightarrow}\;314,\;360\;{\dashrightarrow}\;342$ and m/z $358\;{\dashrightarrow}\;340$ were used to quantify norfloxacin (NOR), ciprofloxacin (CIP), enrofloxacin (ENR) and danofloxacin (DAN), respectively. The limits of quantification (LOQ) were 7.8ppb for NOR, 8.5ppb for CIP, 8.9ppb for ENR, and 4.8ppb for DAN. Average recoveries of fortified sample at levels of 0.025 to 0.1 ppm were estimated 71.29% for NOR, 75.27% for CIP, 85.51% for ENR and 81.22% for DAN. These results could be applied for the confirmation and quantification in eggs.

In the perspective of saving energy in buildings, high performance of insulation and air tightness for improving the heating and the cooling efficiency has brought the positive effect in an economical view. However, these building energy saving technologies cause the lack of ventilation, which is the direct cause of increasing the indoor contaminants, and it is also very harmful to residents because they spend over 90% of their time in the indoor area. Therefore, the ventilation is important to keep indoor environment clean and it can also save energy consumption. In this study, a HEPA type breathing wall is designed as a passive ventilation system to collect airborne particles and to supply fresh outdoor air. To make fine porous structures, polymer nano fibers which were made by electro spinning method are used as a precursor. The nano fibers are coated with SiO2 nano particles and finally the HEPA type breathing wall is made by sintering in the electric furnace at $300\sim500^{\circ}C$. The pressure drops of nano ceramic structure are 8.2, 25.5 and 44.9 mmAq at the face velocity of 2.0, 5.9 and 8.8 cm/s, respectively. Also the water vapor permeability is $3.6g/m^2{\cdot}h{\cdot}mmHg$. In this research, the porous nano ceramic structures are obtained and the possibility for the usage of a material for HEPA type breathing wall can be obtained.

An amperometric glucose biosensor has been developed based on the use of the nanoporous composite film of sol-gel-derived zirconia and perfluorosulfonated ionomer, Nafion, for the encapsulation of glucose oxidase (GOx) on a platinized glassy carbon electrode. Zirconium isopropoxide (ZrOPr) was used as a sol-gel precursor for the preparation of zirconia/Nafion composite film and the performance of the resulting glucose biosensor was tuned by controlling the water content in the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of sol-gel stock solution. The presence of Nafion polymer in the sol-gel-derived zirconia in the biosensor resulted in faster response time and higher sensitivity compared to those obtained at the pure zirconia- and pure Nafion-based biosensors. Because of the nanoporous nature of the composite film, the glucose biosensor based on the zirconia/Nafion composite film can reach 95% of steady-state current less than 5 s. In addition, the biosensor responds to glucose linearly in the range of 0.03-15.08 mM with a sensitivity of 3.40 $\mu$A/mM and the detection limit of 0.037 mM (S/N = 3). Moreover, the biosensor exhibited good sensor-to-sensor reproducibility (~5%) and long-term stability (90% of its original activity retained after 4 weeks) when stored in 50 mM phosphate buffer at pH 7 at 4 ${^{\circ}C}$.

검사실에서 사용하는 참고치는 검사결과의 해석에 기준이 되는 것으로 적절치 못한 경우 위양성이나 위음성과 같은 오류를 범할 수 있어 올바른 참고치 설정은 매우 중요하다. Proinsulin은 insulin의 전구체물질로서 당뇨병과 인슐린종의 판단에 중요한 검사로 사용되고 있다. 현재 본원 검사실에서 사용되는 Proinsulin 시약은 미국에서 제조되었고 참고치 또한 제조사에서 제공하는 수치를 검증을 통해 사용하였다. 그러나 통상적인 추천은 각 검사실에서 검사실 집단에 적합한 참고치를 도출하여 사용하는 것을 권고하고 있다. 따라서 본원에 내원하는 수진자를 대상으로 참고치를 재평가하기로 하였다. 2011년 12월 8일부터 21일까지 본원 건강의학센터에 내원한 수진자 737명 중 당뇨병 진단을 받은 환자와 Fasting Glucose, HbA1c, Insulin, C-peptide 검사에서 참고치를 벗어 난 환자를 제외한 563명을 대상으로 하였다. 대상자 563명 (남자 275명, 여자 288명)을 3가지 집단(전체, 남자, 여자)으로 구분하고, SPSS(version 19.0)를 사용하여 정규분포 검증을 실시하였다. 각각의 집단 모두 정규분포를 이루지 않아 비정규분포 시 사용하는 Percentile법으로 하한 2.5%에서 상한 97.5%를 참고치 범위로 설정하였다. 전체 대상의 측정값을 크기 순으로 나열하면 4.5~52.0 pM의 범위로 남자 5.3~51.9 pM, 여자 4.5~52.0 pM의 범위를 보였다. Percentile 법으로 하한 2.5%에서 상한 97.5%로 설정한 경우에는 전체535명(남자 259명, 여자 276명)으로 6.7~26.5 pM의 범위였으며 남자 6.8~26.5 pM, 여자 6.7~26.5 pM의 범위를 보였다.Proinsulin 시약 제조사에서 제공된 참고치는 6.4~9.4 pM이며 본 연구에서 재설정된 참고치는 6.7~26.5 pM이다. 이 차이는 서양인과 한국인의 인종간 특이성 때문인 것으로 추정된다. 따라서 가장 이상적인 참고치는 각자의 병원에 내원하는 정상인들을 대상으로 설정하는 것이다. 본원은 내분비내과와 협의를 통해 2012년 8월 1일부터 재설정된 참고치를 사용하고 있다.
