Optimum analytical conditions for cyclic voltammetry (CV) and square wave (SW) stripping voltammetry were determined using mercury-mixed carbon nanotube paste electrode (PE). The results approached the microgram working ranges of SW: 10.0-80.0 $ugL^{-1}$ and CV: 100-700 $ugL^{-1}$ Cd (II); working conditions of 300-Hz frequency, 100 mV amplitude, 1.6 V accumulation potential, 400 sec accumulation time, and 40 mV increment potential. First, analysis was performed through direct assay of cadmium ions deep into the fishs brain core and plant tissue in real time with a preconcentration time of 400 sec. The relative standard deviation of 10.0 $mgL^{-1}$ Cd (II) observed was 0.064 (n = 12) at optimum conditions. The low detection limit (S/N) was set at 0.6 $ugL^{-1}$ ($5.33{\times}10^{-9}$ M). The methods can be used in direct analysis in vivo or in real-time monitoring of plant tissue.

초롱꽃과에 속하는 도라지는 항염증, 항산화, 항암작용뿐 아니라 간기능 강화에도 작용하여 한방에서 만성염증성 질환의 치료제로 널리 사용되고 있다. 이번 연구에서 마우스 대식세포주인 RAW 246.7 세포와 비장으로부터 분리한 T세포에서 도라지 추출액(CC), 도라지 추출물이 함유된 활맥단 추출액(HWAL, 도라지 82% 함유) 및 맥환추출액(MAEK, 도라지 7% 함유)을 처리하여 대식세포와 T세포의 활성과 관련 있는 유전자의 발현을 통해 면역증진 및 항염증 효과를 real-time RT-PCR 기법을 통해 확인해 보았다. 그 결과, 활성화된 T세포에서 많이 발현되는 c-fos (10배 이상), CD40L 유전자(6배 이상)의 경우, 맥환 추출액 처리군에서 가장 높은 발현이 유도되어 면역활성 효과가 높을 것으로 사료되었다. 도라지 추출액과 활맥단 추출액의 경우도 c-fos 유전자의 발현을 유의적으로 증가시켰지만 미약하였고, CD40L의 경우는 영향을 주지 않았다. 도라지 추출액을 처리한 군에서 면역활성을 유도하는 M1 대식세포에서 많이 발현되는 iNOS 유전자의 발현이 유의하게 증가되었다. 반면에 활맥단 추출액을 처리한 대식세포는 M2 표식인자인 Ym1, arginase1 (ARG1) 유전자의 발현이 유의적으로 상승하였다. 결론적으로 도라지가 다량 포함된 맥환 추출액은 면역활성을 유도하는데 탁월한 효과를 나타내며, 도라지 함유가 적게 포함된 활맥단 추출액은 항염증 작용에 탁월한 효과가 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate(APDC)를 착화제로 사용하여 해수중 흔적량 비스무트, 카드뮴, 인듐을 동시에 용매추출하여 정량하는 방법을 연구하였다. 최적조건을 찾기위하여, 시료용액의 pH, 착화제의 양, 흔들어주는 시간, 유기용매의 종류 등에 대하여 조사하였고 역추출효율도 검토하였다. 해수시료 200mL를 취하여, pH를 4.0으로 조정하고 1% APDC 5.0mL를 첨가하고, MIBK 10.0mL로 35분 동안 흔들어 추출한다. 그리고 0.05M 수산화나트륨용액 10mL로 유기층의 HPDC를 세척한다. 유기층을 150.mu.g/mL Pd(II)를 포함하는 4M 질산으로 5분동안 흔들어 분석원소를 역추출한다. 팔라윰이 포함된 4M질산은 역추출효율을 증가시키고 흡광도 측정에서 매트릭스를 개선하여 감도를 증가시켰다. 바탕 흡광도에 대한 표준편차의 3배에 해당하는 농도로서의 검출한계는 Bi(III) :0.038, Cd(II) : 0.0057, In(III) : 0.023 ng/mL이었다. 동해 시료2 가지를 취하여 본방법으로 정량한 결과 Bi(III), In(III)은 검출한계 이하였고, Cd(II)는 0.018과 0.016 ng/mL이었다. 해수시료에 일정량 원소를 가해서 구한 회수율은 모두 90% 이상으로 아칼리금속 매트릭스에서 흔적량 원소의 동시분석에 이 방법이 응용될수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

The uptake of cadmium in animals is mainly accumulated in and affected to the liver and kidney by binding with red blood cells and serum albumin. The process accounts for more than 50% of the total accumulated cadmium in the body. The kidneys may be damaged without regarding the pathway uptake of cadmium. In a group of rats on supplements of 1% chlorella and 40 ppm cadmium, the concentration of cadmium in urine greatly decreased by 66% compared to control group, and the total synthesis of metallothionein decreased by 48.6% compared to control group. However, no previous study has assessed the protective effect on kidney damage induced by cadmium uptake through supplementation with chlorella. This study analyzed the biochemical marker for kidney damage in the rats after uptake of 40 ppm $CdCl_2$ and supplementation of the diet of Sprague Dawley (SD) rats with 1%, 5%, and 10% chlorella during 4 weeks. In a group of SD rats on supplementation with 1% chlorella and uptake of 40 ppm $CdCl_2,\;\beta_2$ microglobulin in the urine was found to be $3.1\pm0.6\;{\mu}g/L$, a decrease of 58% compared to a group of Sp rats on uptake of $CdCl_2$ only, in which the $\beta_2$ microglobulin was found to be $4.9\pm0.7\;{\mu}g/L$. According to the results of histopathological observation, the accumulation of mild and localized chronic inflammatory cells in kidney tissues was observed in 50% of the SD rats on uptake of cadmium only. In contrast, only 30% of the SD rats on supplementation with 1% chlorella and uptake of 40ppm $CdCl_2$, representing a histopathological abnormality, and there were no histopathological abnormalities at all in groups of SD rats on supplementation with 5% or 10% chlorella and uptake of 40 ppm $CdCl_2$. In conclusion, protein, calcium, and iron, which account for more than 50% of the total dried chlorella composition, may contribute to the reduction nephrotoxicity by stimulating both inhibited absorption of cadium and increased excretion of accumulated cadmium in kidneys.

TBTCl, Hg 그리고 Cd의 각 저해농도에 폭로시킨 총알고둥의 호흡 및 질소 배설률은 폭로시간의 경과에 따라 대체로 폭로전반에는 감소하다가 다시 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 각 오염원에 따른 조직학적 변화양상은 TBTCl에서 아가미, Hg에서는 소화관 그리고 Cd의 경우에는 발 근육층부분에서 가장 크게 나타났다.

The physicochemical properties of melatonin (MT) in propylene glycol (PG) and 2-hydroxypropyl-.betha.-cyclodextrin $(2-HP{\beta}CD)$ vehicles were characterized. MT was endothermally decomposed as determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Melting point and heat of fusion obtained were $116.9{\pm}0.24^{\circ}C $.and $7249{\pm}217 cal/mol$., respectively. MT as received from a manufacture was very pure, at least 99.9%. The solubility of MT in PG solution increased slowly until reaching 40% PG and then steeply increased. Solubility of MT increased linearly as concentration of $2-HP{\beta}CD$ without PG INCREASED$(R^2=0.993)$. MT solubility in the mixtures of pg and $2-HP{\beta}CD$ also increased linearly but was less than the sum of its solubility in $2-HP{\beta}CD$ and PG individually. The MT solubility was low in water, simulated gastric or intestinal fluid but the highest in the mixture of PG(40v/v%) and $2-HP{\beta}CD$ (30w/v%) although efficiency of MT solubilization in $2-HP{\beta}CD$ decreased as the concentration of PG increased. MT was degraded in a fashion of the first order kinetics $(r^2>0.90)$. MT was unstable in strong acidic solution (HCl-NaCl buffer, pH 1.4) but relatively stable in other pH values of 4-10 at $70^{\circ}C$. In HCl-NaCl buffer, MT in 10% PG was more quickly degraded and then slowed dpwm at a higher concentration. However, the degradation rate constant of MT in 2-HP.betha.CD was not changed significantly when compared to the water. The current studies can be applied to the dosage formulations for the purpose of enhancing percutaneous absorption or bioavailability of MT.

청색 발광 SrS:CuCl TFEL 소자의 휘도를 향상시키기 위하여 황 압력과 열처리 조건을 최적화하여 SrS:CuCl TFEL 소자를 제작하였다. 전자빔 증착 장비를 이용하여 SrS:CuCl 형광체를 6000 ~ 8000 ${\AA}$ 두께로 증착 시킨 후, 800 $^{\circ}C$에서 3분 동안 열처리하여 TFEL 소자를 제작시켰다. 형광체 결정은 열처리 온도 및 열처리 지속 시간의 증가에 따라 향상되었다. SrS:CuCl TFEL 소자는 468 nm 와 500 nm에서 발광 피크 파장을 나타내었고, CIE 색 좌표는 x = 0.21, y = 0.33로 청색 빛이 방출되었다. SrS:CuCl TFEL 소자의 휘도$(L_{40})$는 형광체 증착 중의 황 압력에 크게 의존하여 황 압력을 $8{\times}10^{-6}$ torr에서 $2{\tiems}10^{-5}$ torr로 증가시켰을 때 262 cd/$m^2$에서 728 cd/$m^2$로 증가되었다.

A column preconcentration method with pulverized Amberlite XAD-4 loaded with bismuthiol I (BI) has been developed for the determination of trace Cd(II) and Cu(II) in various real samples by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Various experimental conditions, such as the size of XAD-4, adsorption flow rate, amount of bismuthiol I, stirring time for adsorbing bismuthiol I on XAD-4, pH of sample solution, amount of XAD-4- BI, desorption solvent, and desorption flow rate, were optimized. Also, the adsorption capacity and the adsorption rate of Cd(II) and Cu(II) on XAD-4-BI were investigated. The interfering effects of various concomitant ions were investigated, Bi(III), Sn(II) and Fe(III) were found to affect the determination. But the interference by these ions was completely eliminated by adjusting the amount of XAD-4-BI resin to 0.70 g, although the adsorption flow rate was slower. For Cd(II) our proposed technique obtained a dynamic range of 0.5-40 ng mL-1, a correlation coefficient (R2) of 0.9913, and a detection limit of 0.3 ng mL-1. For Cu(II), the corresponding values were 2.0-120 ng mL-1, 0.9921 and 1.02 ng mL-1. To validate this proposed technique, the aqueous samples (stream water, reservoir water, tap water and wastewater), the diluted brass sample and the plastic sample, as real samples, were used. Recovery yields of 91-103% were obtained. These measured data were not different from ICP-MS data at 95% confidence level. Our proposed method was also validated using rice flour CRM (normal, fortified) samples. From the results of our experiment, we found that the technique we present here can be applied to the determination of Cd(II) and Cu(II) in various real samples.
