Self-photoinitiating acrylate (SPIA) which can undergo self-initiation under UV irradiation was synthesized by a Michael addition in the presence of a base catalyst. The SPIA polymerizations were investigated by photo-differential scanning calorimeter (photo-DSC) and surface physical properties such as pendulum hardness and pencil hardness. The results showed that the SPIA can cure upon UV irradiation by itself without a photoinitiator. But we found out that both the curing rate and the conversion were too low for the self-curing reaction of SPIA. In order to improve the SPIA curing properties, we introduced the SPIA/cationic hybrid system and observed the effects of the addition of commercial free radical type monomer and photoinitiator on the curing behaviors. SPIA/cationic hybrid system was the best suitable to improve the SPIA curing properties. The kinetic analysis indicated that the cationic monomer and photoinitiator apparently accelerated the cure reaction and rate of the hybrid SPIA system, mostly due to the synergistic effect of cationic monomer and photoinitiator increasing the mobility of active species and the generation of reactive species (free radical, cation) during the photopolymerization process. The physical properties showed that, unlike typical free radical system, the hybrid systems did not show oxygen inhibition effect because of cationic reaction on the coating surface.

This study was conducted to examine the antioxidant activity of 80% ethanol extract of celery seeds and to verify the effectiveness of extracts as a natural antioxidant to improve the stability of oil-in-water emulsions. The radical scavenging activity of 80% ethanol extract of celery seeds was significantly increased at 0.125, 0.25, and 0.5 mg/mL (p<0.05). Additionally, the total phenolic content and FRAP value were equal to $8.2{\pm}2.3mol$ tannic acid equivalent/g extract and $195.0{\pm}12.6mol$ ascorbic acid equivalent/g extract, respectively. The headspace oxygen content was significantly higher in the group treated with 80% ethanol extract of celery seeds than in the control group (p<0.05). The amounts of lipid hydroperoxide and conjugated diene were significantly reduced compared to the control group (p<0.05). The results showed that the extract of celery seeds had excellent antioxidant ability and it could be used as a natural antioxidant owing to the increased oxidative stability of the emulsified product.

The ovarian hormone-deficiency induced ovariectomy rat is widely used as an aging model due to its practicality, convenience, and cost effectiveness. The surgically ovariectomized rat induces reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation like aging phenomena. Free oxygen radicals have been proposed as important causative agents of aging. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of chondroitin sulfate (CS) to prevent ovariectomy (OVX)-induced oxidative stress. The OVX rats were given intraperitoneally CS at doses of 100 mg/kg and 200 mg/kg daily for fifteen weeks. Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were determined as well as the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), reduced-glutathione (GSH), oxidized-glutathione (GSSG), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) in the liver. The liver antioxidative enzyme activity was elevated while MDA concentration decreased in all CS treated animals. The results demonstrated that CS reduced oxidative stress in a dose dependent manner. These results suggest that CS might be a useful candidate for antioxidative reagent.

The present study investigated anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory activity of glycoprotein isolated from Morus Indica Linne (MIL glycoprotein). We found that MIL glycoprotein has a molecular weight of 32 kD and consists of carbohydrate (40.03%) and protein (59.97%), and that it has a strong scavenging activity against 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), hydroxyl radical $({\cdot}OH)$, and superoxide anion $(O_2{\cdot}\;^-)$ radicals. In addition, MIL glycoprotein had a stable character and an optimal DPPH radical scavenging activity in the alkaline and neutral pH solution, and up to at 105. However, the results indicated that it has a minimal scavenging activity in the metal ionic solution ($Ca^{2+}$, $Mn^{2+}$, and $Mg^{2+}$) in the presence of EDTA. In addition, we further investigated whether MIL glycoprotein scavenges oxygen radicals and blocks inflammation-related signals in the bisphenol A (BPA)-stimulated Raw 264.7 cells. The results in this study showed that it has a character to scavenge the productions of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO) dose-dependently. Also it blocked the activities of inflammation-related signals such as nuclear factor-kappa B ($NF-{\kappa}B$) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). For example, it had an inhibitory effect on the activation of $NF-{\kappa}B$ (p50) and iNOS proteins at 200 ${\mu}g/mL$ MIL glycoprotein. Here, we speculate that MIL glycoprotein is one of natural antioxidants and of modulators of the BPA-induced inflammation.

Here, we showed that Acanthocoris sordidus extract inhibited both cell and DNA damage caused by oxidative stress. In a radical scavenging assay, the scavenging activity of the A. sordidus extract against 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and hydroxyl radicals was 48.9% and 37.8%, respectively, that of ascorbic acid, which was used as a positive control. The ferrous iron chelating activity of the A. sordidus extract was 80.0% compared to that when ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) was used a control. To verify the inhibitory effect of the extract on oxidative cell damage induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS), a lipid peroxidation assay was performed. The results showed that peroxidation was completely inhibited in an extract-treated group compared to a radical-treated group. The level of p21 protein expression was 68.1% that of a control sample. The DNA cleavage-inhibiting property of the A. sordidus extract-treated group was 53.3% that of a control group. Moreover, the phosphorylation of the H2AX protein was reduced to 39.0% of that treated with radical agents, indicating that the extract might inhibit the DNA damage that causes radical oxidation. Taken together, our findings suggest that the A. sordidus extract is effective not only in repressing oxidation by free oxygen radicals and hydroxyl radicals but also in decreasing cell and DNA damage caused by oxidative stress.

고분자/금속 복합재료는 현대 전자산업에 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 그러나 이들간의 계면은 고분자의 수축 또는 계면 안정성의 저하로 인하여 박리가 일어나게 된다. 즉, 계면의 접합이 떨어지게 되면 전기 화학적인 반응이 계면에서 발생하여 드러난 금속부위는 산화되고 산소가 환원될 때 발생하는 OH기와 같은 라디칼들에 의해 금속과 고분자 사이의 결합이 파괴되어 금속표면으로부터의 고분자의 박리가 발생한다. (중략)

PEMFC의 상용화 진입에 있어서 걸림돌 중의 하나가 열화(degradation)에 의한 성능감소이다. PEMFC 고분자 막의 열화가 PEMFC 성능 감소에 많은 영향을 미친다. 고분자 막의 성능 감소 원인은 여러가지가 있지만 무가습/OCV조건에서 성능 감소가 잘 된다. 그 이유에 대해서는 OCV/무가습 조건에서 과산화수소나 라디칼이 많이 형성될 수 있다는 것과, OCV조건에서 사용되지 못하는 수소와 산소의 gas-crossover 가 많기 때문이라는 것 그리고 무가습 조건에서 수소와 산소의 분압이 높아 gas-crossover 가 유리하고 악의 건조에 따른 물리적인 영향 등등이 거론되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 같은 조건에서 Cell 운전온도가 막열화에 미치는 영향을 실험하였다. OCV 여려 조건 에서 단위전지 실험을 한 후 I-V, 수소 투과도, 임피던스, FER(fluoride emission rate)등을 측정해 그 결과를 검토 분석하였다. OCV/Anode 무가습 조건이 알려진 대로 막열화 가속조건 이었음을 확인하였고, 실험 결과 Cell 운전온도가 $10^{\circ}C$증가 할 때마다 FER(fluroide emission rate)이 즉 막 열화속도가 약 2배정도 증가함을 보였다.

This study compared and analyzed the antioxidant activities of various organic solvent fractions from the leaves and roots of Peucedanum insolens Kitagawa. For this study, the dried leaves and roots of P. insolens Kitagawa were first extracted using 70% ethanol. The extracts were sequentially sub-fractionated in the order of hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate, n-butanol, and water. The results revealed that the distribution of total phenolic contents by organic solvent fractions showed the same pattern in both the leaves and roots, with the highest in the ethyl acetate fraction (101.1±1.0 mg vs 71.2±3.4 mg of GAE/mg), but the lowest content in the hexane fraction (9.5±0.2 mg vs 7.5±2.1 mg of GAE/mg). The distribution of total flavonoid content in the organic solvent fractions showed the same pattern as that of total phenolic content. The results of DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP assays showed that the leaf and root extracts exhibited free radical scavenging activity in the same pattern, particularly, the ethyl acetate fraction had the highest activity. These results indicate that not only the roots of P. insolens Kitagawa but also the leaves possess potential substances that exhibit strong antioxidant activity. Significant correlations (R=0.903, p<0.0001, DPPH radical; R=0.891, p<0.001, ABTS radical; R=0.745, p<0.05, FRAP radical) between total phenolics and radical scavenging activities, but also significant correlations (R=0.867, p<0.001, DPPH vs. ABTS radicals; R=0.882, p<0.0001, DPPH vs. FRAP radicals; R=0.973, p<0.0001, ABTS vs. FRAP radicals) between radical scavenging activities were found in the organic solvent fractions. Therefore, as in the roots of P. insolens Kitagawa, the leaves possess strong antioxidant capacity and can be used as the main antioxidant material.
