In this study, transition metal coated carbon nanofibers (CNFs) were synthesized and applied as anode materials of Li secondary batteries. CNFs/Ni foam was immersed into 0.01 M transition metal solutions after growing CNFs on Ni foam via chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. Transition metal coated CNFs/Ni foam was dried in an oven at $80^{\circ}C$. Morphologies, compositions, and crystal quality of CNFs-transition metal composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy (Raman), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), respectively. Electrochemical characteristics of CNFs-transition metal composites as anodes of Li secondary batteries were investigated using a three-electrode cell. Transition metal/CNFs/Ni foam was directly employed as a working electrode without any binder. Lithium foil was used as both counter and reference electrodes while 1 M $LiClO_4$ was employed as the electrolyte after it was dissolved in a mixture of propylene carbonate:ethylene carbonate (PC:EC) at 1:1 volume ratio. Galvanostatic charge/discharge cycling and cyclic voltammetry measurements were taken at room temperature using a battery tester. In particular, the capacity of the synthesized CNFs-Fe was improved compared to that of CNFs. After 30 cycles, the capacity of CNFs-Fe was increased by 78%. Among four transition metals of Fe, Cu, Co and Ni coated on carbon nanofibers, the retention rate of CNFs-Fe was the highest at 41%. The initial capacity of CNFs-Fe with 670 mAh/g was reduced to 275 mAh/g after 30 cycles.

A novel $N_3S_1$ chelate, Pro-Lys-Cys (PKC) to cyclic RGD to radiolabel with $^{99m}Tc$ was conjugated in an effort to decrease the high intestinal accumulation observed for $^{99m}Tc$-labeled PGC-RGD. The target specificity of the resulting PKC-RGD was similar to that of PGC-RGD as determined by a cell binding assay and a competition binding assay. The $^{99m}Tc$ radiolabeling of PKC-RGD resulted in radiochemical yields of 98% under mild conditions at high specific activities. Biodistribution data in normal mice clearly showed a significant decrease in intestinal uptake at 2 h postinjection for the $^{99m}Tc-PKC-c$ (RGDyK) compared to the $^{99m}Tc-GC-c$ (RGDyK) (from $19.65%ID{\cdot}g^{-1}$ to $7.31%ID{\cdot}g^{-1}$ for the GI tract). The $^{99m}Tc-PKC-c$ (RGDyK) biodistribution was also shown by a higher retention of radioactivity in the whole body, but with kidney accumulation over 8-fold higher than observed with $^{99m}Tc-PGC-c$ (RGDyK) at 2 h ($12.62%ID{\cdot}g^{-1}$ for PKC-RGD and $1.54%ID{\cdot}g^{-1}$ for PGC-RGD, respectively). These results show that the biodistribution may be altered especially concerning lipophilicity resulting in renal rather than hepatobiliary excretion. This comparative study made it possible to explore the effects of lipophilicity on the biodistribution of $^{99m}Tc$-labeled c (RGDyK) through the use of different tripeptide $N_3S_1$ chelators. Therefore, $^{99m}Tc-PKC-c$ (RGDyK) may be an attractive alternative for the in vivo imaging of integrin receptors.

Si을 리튬이온전지 음극활물질로 사용하기 위해 입도를 $0.5{\mu}m$ 보다 작은 크기로 제어하였고 표면에 탄소를 약 10 nm 두께로 코팅하였다. 그 위에 탄소섬유를 50~150 wt% 양으로 성장시키고 다시 한 번 탄소코팅을 진행하였다. 이렇게 만들어진 Si 합성물질은 전기전도성을 높이기 위한 공정으로 이종 금속을 혼합하였으며 수명 특성을 개선하기 위해 흑연과 복합화하였다. 실험 변수에 따른 재료들의 물리화학적 특성을 XRD, SEM 및 TEM을 사용하여 측정하였고 코인셀을 제조하여 전기화학적 특성을 평가하였다. Si/PC (Pyrolytic Carbon)/CNF (Carbon Nano Fiber)보다 Si/PC/CNF/PC가 전체적으로 Si 함량이 줄어 방전용량은 상대적으로 낮게 나타났지만 전지평가에서 중요한 수명특성에서는 좋은 결과를 보여주었다. 0.2 C rate에서 $1512mA\;h\;g^{-1}$의 초기 방전 용량과 78%의 초기 효율을 나타내었고 10 싸이클에서 94%의 용량 보존율을 보여주었다.

Colostrum, which contains various immune and growth factors, aids wound healing by promoting keratinocyte proliferation. Aquaporins (AQPs) are small, hydrophobic membrane proteins that regulate cellular water retention. However, few studies have examined the effect of processed colostrum whey on AQP-3 expression in human skin cells. Here, we investigated the effect of milk, colostrum, fermented milk, and fermented colostrum whey on AQP-3 expression in keratinocyte HaCaT cells. Concentrations of 100-400 ㎍/mL of fermented colostrum whey were found to induce HaCaT cell proliferation. AQP-3 was found to be expressed exclusively in HaCaT cells. AQP-3 expression was significantly increased in 100 ㎍/mL fermented colostrum whey-treated cells compared with that in controls. Moreover, fermented colostrum increased p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) phosphorylation, but not ERK1/2 phosphorylation. Thus, our results suggest that fermented colostrum whey increased AQP-3 expression in, and the proliferation of, keratinocytes via JNK and p38 MAPK activation.

Lithium sulfur (Li-S) batteries have attracted considerable attention as a promising candidate for next-generation power sources due to their high theoretical energy density, low cost, and eco-friendliness. However, the poor electrical conductivity of sulfur and its insoluble discharging products (Li₂S₂/Li₂S), large volume changes, severe self-discharge, and dissolution of lithium polysulfide intermediates result in rapid capacity fading, low Coulombic efficiency, and safety risks, hindering Li-S battery commercial development. In this study, a three-dimensionally (3D) connected hierarchical porous carbon framework (HPCF) derived from waste sunflower seed shells was synthesized as a sulfur host for Li-S batteries via a chemical activation method. The natural 3D connected structure of the HPCF, originating from the raw material, can effectively enhance the conductivity and accessibility of the electrolyte, accelerating the Li⁺/electron transfer. Additionally, the generated micropores of the HPCF, originated from the chemical activation process, can prevent polysulfide dissolution due to the limited space, thereby improving the electrochemical performance and cycling stability. The HPCF/S cell shows a superior capacity retention of 540 mA h g^-1 after 70 cycles at 0.1 C, and an excellent cycling stability at 2 C for 700 cycles. This study provides a potential biomass-derived material for low-cost long-life Li-S batteries.

Objectives : Polyporus umbellatus is a medicinal mushroom that has been used for over thousands years in Chinese medicine as a powerful diuretic to relieve fluid retention and edema. Dermal papilla is located at the bottom of the hair follicle and connected to the blood vessels where it gets the nutrients and oxygen to nurture hair follicle. This study examined the mechanism through which the ethanol extract of Polyporus umbellatus (EPU) promoted the proliferation of human dermal papilla cells (HHDPCs). Methods : To estimate the proliferative effects of EPU on HHDPCs, cell viability was estimated by thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Western blotting was used to investgate the activation of ERK, phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt, β-catenin, GSK-3β and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1). Cells were treated with inhibitors of ERK and Akt prior to EPU treatment. Results : EPU promoted the proliferation of HHDPCs and the phosphorylation of ERK and Akt in dose dependent manner. However, the proliferative effect of EPU on HHDPCs was inhibited by pre-treatment of ERK inhibitor (PD98059) and Akt inhibitor (LY294002). Furthermore, EPU respectively stimulated the protein expression of β-catenin and phosphorylated GSK-3β. EPU significantly increased the protein expression levels of proliferation and cytoprotection related genes such as Bcl-2, SIRT-1, and HO-1 in cells. Conclusion : This results suggest that EPU promoted the proliferation of HHDPCs via activating PI3K/Akt and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in HHDPCs.

1) 강력한 $K^+$ 통로개방제인 pinacidil은 투여한 pinacidil의 농도, T1-201의 방사능양, 실험에 사용된 심근세포 수에 따라 차이는 있었지만 배양된 심근세포의 T1-201섭취를 1.6-2.5배 감소시켰고, 심근내로 유입시킨 T1-201의 세포외로의 배출을 1.6-3.1배 증가시켰다. Pinacidil의 T1-201의 세포내로의 섭취억제는 세포내로 유입되는 T1-201의 세포 내에서의 저류가 억제되어 일어났을 것으로 추측된다. 2) 생쥐체내에 주사한 pinacidil의 효과는 실험관내의 심근세포의 변화처럼 뚜렸하지는 않았지만 T1-201을 주사한 생쥐에서 10분 이후 pinacidil의 정맥주사한 경우에는 혈액과 간장의 방사능치는 치료하지 않은 군보다 약간 높았고, 신장과 심장의 방사능치는 약간 낮은 경향을 보였다. 이상의 배양된 심근세포와 생쥐체내 실험의 연구결과는 항고혈압약제나, 항협심증약, 기관지천식 치료제로 사용되는 $K^+$통로개방제는 심근내로의 T1-201 축적을 억제하고 배출을 촉진시켜. T1-201 심근관류스캔의 판독에 영향을 미칠 수 있을 수 있을 것으로 추측된다.

Effect of sulfur (S) on utilization efficiency of fresh cassava foliage and cassava hay in dairy cows was evaluated using thirty-two $1^{st}-2^{nd}$ lactation Holstein-Friesian crossbred dairy cows. The experimental treatment was a 2${\times}$2 factorial arrangement in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) using two roughages (rice straw+fresh cassava foliage (FCF) and rice straw+cassava hay (CH)) and two elemental sulfur (S) levels (0.15 and 0.4% S of dry matter (DM)), respectively. Four dietary treatments (FCF+0.15, FCF+0.4, CH+0.15 and CH+0.4) were offered ad libitum in the form of a total mixed ration (TMR) with concentrate to roughage (chopped rice straw+chopped cassava foliage) ratio at 60:40. Fresh cassava foliage or cassava hay resulted in similar dry mater intake, rumen ecology parameters, total tract digestibility, blood chemistry, milk production and composition. However, HCN intake, blood and milk thiocyanate concentration were significantly higher (p<0.01) in cows fed fresh cassava foliage with no sign of potential toxicity. Dry matter intake, body weight changes, molar percentage of propionate in rumen, neutral detergent fiber (NDF) digestibility and nitrogen (N) retention of cows tended to be increased while DM digestibility (65.6, 72.7, 68.6 and 72.1% of total DM intake for the respective treatments), rumen bacteria population (1.4, 1.7, 1.6 and $1.7{\times}10^{11}$ cell/ml for respective treatments), fungal zoospore population (0.4, 0.6, 0.4 and $0.5{\times}10^{6}$ cell/ml for respective treatments), urinary allantoin (25.3, 28.0, 26.3 and 27.6 g/d for respective treatments), microbial N yield (136.0, 154.6, 142.8 and 151.3 g N/d for respective treatments) and milk protein content (3.4, 3.5, 3.2 and 3.5% for respective treatments) were significantly (p<0.05) higher in cows fed on supplemented sulfur at 0.4% of DM in comparison with 0.15% S-supplemented diets. Based on these results, it is concluded that cassava foliage could be used as a portion of roughage for dairy cows and supplementation of S would be nutritionally beneficial.
