Numerous drugs are chiral because they possess one or more chiral centers. Enantiomers may differ in their pharmacokinetic, pharmacological and toxicological properties. However, the significance of stereochemistry of drugs in their therapeutic uses has received relatively little attention until recently. The US FDA issued a guideline on stereoisomeric drugs in 1992, and the European agency describes tests for new drug substances which are optically active in an ICH(International Conference of Harmonization) guideline. According to the guidance, enantiomers may differ in their pharmacokinetic, pharmacological and toxicological properties. Therefore, in this paper, we examined the recently published Canadian guidance, stereochemical issues in chiral drug development, which will be references to make a guidance on stereochemical issues in chiral drug development in Korea.

본 논문에서는 바이러스와 같은 생화학 물질의 분자구조를 3 차원 모델로 시각화하여 관찰하고, 그 분자모델을 직관적인 방법으로 조작하기 위한 가상 현실 분자 모델링 시스템을 제안한다. 이 시스템을 사용하면, 입체영상 디스플레이 장치와 데이터 글러브 및 동작 추적 장치를 사용하여 3 차원 분자 모델을 실감나게 조작할 수 있어서 효율적으로 분자들을 관찰하고 결합, 분리하는 등의 분자 모델링 작업이 가능하다. 사용자들은 마우스나 키보드 등의 장비 대신에 자연스러운 몸 동작이나 손 동작을 이용하여 분자 모델링 작업을 위한 동작을 하게 된다. 분자들의 결합을 화학적으로 정확하게, 그리고 실시간으로 시뮬레이션 하기 위해서 에너지 계산 알고리즘을 구현하였으며 이러한 작업이 가능하도록 분자 구조를 표현하는 새로운 자료구조를 제안하였다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 동작 기반의 VR 분자 모델링 시스템의 타당성을 검증하기 위하여 HIV 바이러스 분자를 가지고 분자 모델링 작업을 수행하였고, 사용자 테스트를 실시하여 기존의 방식과 작업 성능 및 사용자 만족도를 비교하였다.

플라즈마를 이용하는 건식 식각 또는 박막 증착 장비(PECVD)의 경우 웨이퍼에 rf bias를 인가하여 이온의 에너지와 입사각을 조절한다. 종래에는 웨이퍼의 가장 자리 3 mm영역을 공정 대상에서 제외하는 exclusion area로 지정하였으나 점차 공정 기술의 발달로 2 mm 이내로 감소하고 있다. 따라서 웨이퍼의 가장 자리에서 발생하는 전기장의 방향 및 크기 변화를 조절할 수 있는 기술의 개발이 필요하게 되었으며 그중 핵심적인 부품이 Si 또는 SiC로 제작되는 edge ring이다. Focus ring이라고도 불리는 이 부품은 웨이퍼 상에서 반경 방향으로 흐르는 가스의 유속이 가장 자리에 근접하면 빨라지는 현상과 이에 의해 식각/증착 화학 반응 속도가 증가하는 문제를 완화하기 위한 것과 적절한 전기 전도도를 부여함으로써 가장 자리의 전기장 분포를 최적화 할 수 있는 새로운 설계 변수로 활용할 수 있다. 스퍼터링의 경우에도 웨이퍼 중앙과 주변 부는 마그네트론 음극의 회전 링과의 입체각이 차이가 나므로 가장 자리의 경우 트렌치나 홀의 내측이 외측에 비해서 증착막의 두께가 얇아지는 문제가 있으며 건식 식각의 경우 홀의 형상이 수직에서 벗어나는 경향이 발생할 수 있다. 또한 사용 시간에 비례해서 edge ring의 형상이 변화하는데 상대적으로 고가품이어서 교체 주기를 설정하는 보다 합리적 기준이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 전산 유체 역학 모델을 사용하는 ESI사의 CFD-ACE+를 활용하여 edge ring의 형상과 재질이 갖는 영향을 전산 모사하기 위한 기초 작업을 그림 1과 같이 진행하였다. 2D-CCP model에 Ar 가스를 가정하고 비유 전율 10내외 전도도 $0.1/Ohm{\cdot}m$정도의 재질에 대한 용량성 결합 플라즈마에 대해서 계산을 하고 이 때 기판에 인가되는 고주파 전력에 의한 이온의 입사 에너지 분포 및 각도 분포를 Monte Carlo 방법으로 처리하여 계산하였다.

Palladium on carbon catalysts for hexafluoropropylene hydrogenation were prepared using imidazolium hexafluorophosphate with various cation parts. The morphology of palladium was relatively affected by the cation parts of the ionic liquid. With increasing alkyl chains of the ionic liquid cation, the shape of palladium particle changed from spherical to cylindrical due to the effect of steric stabilization. After calcination at $500^{\circ}C$, all catalysts possessed the comparable crystal structure. Under the identical reaction conditions, the catalyst prepared using the ionic liquid with hexyl chain in cation parts showed the most effective reactivity.

The efficient use of a chiral shift agent (3) containing bifunctional group (thiourea and tertiary amine) for the determination of the enantiomeric purity of racemic mixture (Hemiesters) has been studied. The diastereomeric complexes derived from a chiral shift agent (3) with various hemiesters gave rise to well separate signals of the methoxy protons of hemiesters. Good splitting signals for enantiomers of hemiesters in ¹H NMR are originated form the hydrogen bonds between carbonyl groups of hemiester and bifunctional groups of a chiral shift agent (3) such as thiourea moiety and tertiary amine. This study provides a quick and simple way to determine the chiral purity of hemiester using chiral transfer agent (3).

Vinyl acetate usually used in PVA resin preparation was converted to PVAc by bulk polymerization using AIBN as a initiator and PVA was synthesized by changing the concentration of NaOH added for saponification subsequently. As a result of estimating molecular weight using GPC, molecular weight increased as the NaOH concentration increased to 2.5 N, 5.0 N, 7.5 N and 10.0 N and polydispersity had similar values of 2.1~2.3, however, showed slightly decreasing tendency. In addition, PVA saponificated by 10.0 N-NaOH showed high syndiotacticity in observation of tacticity using NMR spectroscopy. From this fact, the degree of tacticity was predicted to be high and it was in good agreement with the tendency of polydispersity by GPC. Also, from the result of FT-IR spectroscopy, it might be known that hydrolysis was more promoted in the PVA with 10.0 N-NaOH than other NaOH concentration. Intrinsic viscosity measured using Ubbelohde viscometer, which increased as the concentration of NaOH added for saponification increased. The change of shear strength with the change of shear rate was investigated using Brookfield viscometer, in consequence, viscosity of PVA synthesized decreased as shear rate increased. PVA solution confirmed to show the shear thining behavior by Casson plot and PVA with 10.0 N-NaOH had the largest yield value. DSC measurement was performed to know the thermal properties of PVA. Tp had nearly constant value of 214$^{\circ}C$ in all cases except for adding 2.5 N-NaOH and $\Delta$H was increased as the concentration of NaOH increased. From this properties, it was concluded that the degree of hydrogen bonding was proportional to the added concentration of NaOH and the increase of the degree of hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interaction could affect the rheological and thermal properties of title compound.

The present study was designed to examine effect of short term treadmill and weight-training on aging arophy in the rat skeletal muscle. Male rats of 24 months old were used. Each groups included control, treadmill and weight-training for 4 weeks by using treadmill apparatus and body press apparatus. The histo and cytochemical, ultrastructural and stereological changes in senile skeletal muscles of the rat were observed in the present study. During the training period the body weight and muscular weight in all groups remained constant. The volume density of muscle fiber type IIC and IIB were increased, that of type IIA was decreased, but type I remained constant in treadmill-training group. In weight-training rat, the density of type IIA and IIB were increased, both those of type IIC was decreased. But, all changes of muscle fiber type is not significant. Senile control group some usual formation of mild contraction band, liposuscin pigment and muscular splitting were observed. After treadmill-training, histological and ultrastructural changes occurred in the muscle fiber, such as irregularity of the sarcolemma, interfibrillar vacuolization, longitudinal splitting, and widened I-bond. After weight-training, the changes occurred in the trained muscle fiber, such as appearances of many lysosomes and autophagic vacuoles, severe contraction band, and breakup of myofibrils. Histo and cytochemical studies showed that the activities of succinic dehydrogenase and acid phosphatase remained constant, activities of $Mg^{++}$-ATPase decrease with training. Stereological changes were not observed in the volume and numerical density of all subject component, but the surface density of mitochondrial inner membrane was increased with treadmill-training. These experimental results suggested that endurance training during short-term may result in the adaptible response in senile skeletal muscles. On the other side, weight-training is bad for senile skeletal muscle.

Twenty six derivatives of bis-aromatic ${\alpha},{\beta}$-unsaturated ketones as substrate(S) were synthesized and their fungicidal activities in vivo against rice blast(Pyricularia oryzae), tomato leaf blight(Phytophtora infestans) and barley powdery mildew(Erysiphe graminis) were examined. The quantitative structure-activity relationship(QSAR) between the fungicidal activities($pI_{50}$) and a physicochemical parameters of substitued($R_{2}$) phenyl backbone group in 2-thienyl and 2-furyl substituents were analyzed with regression equations. The activities of substituted($R_{2}$) phenyl backbone in 2-thienyl substituents, $1{\sim}10$ would depend largely on the resonance(R>0), molecular refractivity($M_{R}<0$) and optimal length of substituent(($L_{1})opt.=5.50{\AA}$). Whereas, in case of 2-furyl substituents, $10{\sim}26$ optimal molar attraction constant ($F_{opt}=0.49{\sim}l.11$), optimal steric($Es_{opt}=1.78$) constant and indicator variables(Io & Ip) for position of substituents. The fungicidal activity relationship of 2-thienyl substituents against Pyricularia oryzae and Phytophtora infestans have been a reciprocal proportioned.

Sudden deaths have occurred in feedlot cattle with marked necro-hemorrhagic enteritis of the jejunum, ileum and colon. Suckling beef calves are the most frequently affected. Over-consumption of large amounts of milk, inadequate colostrum intake, chilling and stress are conducive to the development of enterotoxemia. Enterotoxemia caused by Clostridium perfringens type D mostly occurs following a sudden change of diet, particularly to feeds made richer in order to grow the cattle to market weight in feedlots. During July 2006, sudden deaths of cattle occurred in the Youngcheon regional area of Gyeongbuk province. There were no significant clinical signs except anorexia, depression, intermittent diarrhea and mild respiratory failure. Histological findings revealed a prominent intranuclear inclusion as well as infiltration of the globular leukocytes in various organs including the heart, kidneys, liver, spleen and lymph nodes. Spleen and lymphatic tissues showed lymphatic necrosis and a starry sky appearance. In the submucosa of the small intestines, basophilic aggregation was detected with massive infiltration of the globular leukocytes and eosinophils. Gram staining for the tissue sections containing inclusions of the small intestines revealed a positive histochemical reaction. Taken together, we suggest that Clostridium perfringens type D-induced enterotoxemia is determined to be the cause of sudden death of feedlot cattle.
