A dense mixed ionic and electronic conducting ceramic membrane is one of the most promising materials because it can be used for separation of oxygen from the mixture gas. The $ABO_3$ perovskite structure shows high chemical stability at high temperatures under reduction and oxidation atmospheres. $BaCo_{1-x-y}Fe_xZr_yO_{3-{\delta}}$ (BCFZ) was well-known material as high mechanical strength, low thermal conductivity and stability in the high valence state. Glycine Nitrate Process (GNP) is rapid and effective method for powder synthesis using glycine as a fuel and show higher product crystallinity compared to solid state reaction and citrate-EDTA method. BCFZ was fabricated by modified glycine nitrate process. In order to control the burn-up reaction, $NH_4NO_3$ was used as extra nitrate. According to X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) results, BCFZ was single phase regardless of Zr dopants from y=0.1 to 0.3 on B sites. The green compacts were sintered at $1200^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. Oxygen permeability, methane partial oxidation rate and hydrogen production ability of the membranes were characterized by using Micro Gas Chromatography (Micro GC) under various condition. The high oxygen permeation flux of BCFZ 1-451 was about $1ml{\cdot}cm^{-2}s^{-1}$. Using the humidified Argon gas, BCFZ 1-433 produced hydrogen about $1ml{\cdot}cm^{-2}s^{-1}$.

To identify the effect and mechanism of carbon monoxide (CO) on delayed rectifier K⁺ currents (I_K) of human cardiac fibroblasts (HCFs), we used the wholecell mode patch-clamp technique. Application of CO delivered by carbon monoxidereleasing molecule-3 (CORM3) increased the amplitude of outward K⁺ currents, and diphenyl phosphine oxide-1 (a specific I_K blocker) inhibited the currents. CORM3-induced augmentation was blocked by pretreatment with nitric oxide synthase blockers (L-NG-monomethyl arginine citrate and L-NG-nitro arginine methyl ester). Pretreatment with KT5823 (a protein kinas G blocker), 1H-[1,-2,-4] oxadiazolo-[4,-3-a] quinoxalin-1-on (ODQ, a soluble guanylate cyclase blocker), KT5720 (a protein kinase A blocker), and SQ22536 (an adenylate cyclase blocker) blocked the CORM3 stimulating effect on I_K. In addition, pretreatment with SB239063 (a p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase [MAPK] blocker) and PD98059 (a p44/42 MAPK blocker) also blocked the CORM3's effect on the currents. When testing the involvement of S-nitrosylation, pretreatment of N-ethylmaleimide (a thiol-alkylating reagent) blocked CO-induced I_K activation and DL-dithiothreitol (a reducing agent) reversed this effect. Pretreatment with 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(1-methylpyridinium-4-yl)-21H,23H porphyrin manganese (III) pentachloride and manganese (III) tetrakis (4-benzoic acid) porphyrin chloride (superoxide dismutase mimetics), diphenyleneiodonium chloride (an NADPH oxidase blocker), or allopurinol (a xanthine oxidase blocker) also inhibited CO-induced I_K activation. These results suggest that CO enhances I_K in HCFs through the nitric oxide, phosphorylation by protein kinase G, protein kinase A, and MAPK, S-nitrosylation and reduction/oxidation (redox) signaling pathways.

We investigated the effects of diet manipulation on pro- and macro-glycogen accumulation and mobilization during exercise in different kinds of muscle fiber and tissue. Thirty-two Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into groups representing one of two dietary conditions: high fat (HF, n=16) or standard chow (CHOW, n=16). Each dietary group was fm1her divided into control (REST, n=8) and exercise (EXE, n=8). After an eight-week dietary intervention period, the animals in EXE swam for 3 hours while the animals in REST remained at rest Skeletal muscle (soleus, red gastrocnemius and white gastrocnemius) and liver samples were then dissected out and used for analyses. 1here was no statistical difference in body weight between the animals in the HF and mow groups (p>.05). Three hours of exercise significantly increased plasma free fatty acid (FFA) concentration in the animals in the CHOW group but not in the animals in the HF group. Both citrate. synthase (CS) and $\beta$-hydroxyacyl dehydrogenase ($\beta$-HAD) activities in skeletal muscles were higher in the HF group than in the mow group. CS and $\beta$-HAD activities were also the highest in red gastrocnemius and the lowest in white gastrocnemius. At both time points (i.e., rest and immediately after exercise) intramuscular triglyceride (IMTG) and liver TG concentrations were significantly higher in the HF compared to the CHOW. IMTG and liver TG changed selectively in the CHOW. Except in white gastrocnemius muscle, there was no significant difference in total glycogen content between HF and mow at rest. Although exercise significantly lowered total glycogen content in all groups and tissues (p<.05), the degree of reduction was markedly greater in the mow than in the HF. Whereas changes in proglycogen concentration showed a trend similar to those of total glycogen, alterations in macroglycogen concentrations clearly differed from those of total glycogen. Specifically, the degree of reduction of macroglycogen following three hours of exercise was substantially greater in the CHOW than in the HF. These results suggest that metabolic alterations induced by a long-term high fat diet may be caused by macro-glycogen rather than pro-glycogen.

철을 이용한 반응벽체 (permeable reactive barrier, PRBs) 기술은 유기 화합물로 오염된 지하수를 환원적 반응에 의해 정화시키는 공법이다. 벽체의 매질로 주로 사용되는 영가 철은 반응이 진행됨에 따라 점차 2가 및 3가 철로 산화되어 제거능이 점차 저감된다. 자연계에 존재하거나 동정된 철 환원 박테리아는 산화된 Fe(III)를 Fe(II)로 환원시키는 능력을 가지고 있으며 이와 같이 환원된 Fe(II)는 반응 표면적을 넓히고 다시 할로겐 유기 화합물을 환원적으로 제거할 수 있도록 한다. 본 연구는 철 환원 박테리아로 순수균인 Shewanella algae BrY에 의한 산화철의 환원 경향을 aqueous phase와 solid phase로 나누어 관찰하고 환원된 철이 TCE 제거에 미치는 영향을 iron(II,III) oxide와 iron(III) oxide를 대상으로 하여 파악하는 것을 목표로 하였다. 박테리아는 배지 내에 존재하는 Fe(III)를 우선적으로 사용하여 Fe(II)로 환원시켰으며 선택성은 떨어지지만 입자상의 산화철 표면에 존재하는 Fe(III)도 환원시켰다. 또한 동량의 산화철이 존재할 때 iron(II,III) oxide에 비해 박테리아가 전자수용체로 사용할 수 있는 Fe(III)가 풍부한 iron(III) oxide의 환원이 더 잘 일어남을 알 수 있었고, 환원된 Fe(II)는 박테리아 또는 다른 철 산화물과 침전을 형성하였으며 TCE와의 반응속도 및 제거 능력을 향상시키는 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 담수녹조류인 그물말(Hydrodictyon reticulatum, HR)을 산업바이오 자원으로서 활용하는 방안을 강구하고자 일차적으로 효소당화의 용이성을 검토하였다. HR에 대하여 효소당화를 2% 고형분 함량에서 동일조건으로 수행했을 때, 다른 종류의 바이오매스(Spirulina, Chlorella, Scenedesmus, Cladophora, Corn stover)보다 glucose 수득율이 가장 높았다. HR을 분말화하지 않아도 최적조건의 효소처리량에서 당화가 모두 이루어지며, HR 당화용액의 citrate buffer strength가 0.1mM까지 낮아도 당수득율에 큰 지장이 없었다. 또한 HR을 고온의 전처리없이 실온상태에서 바로 당화시켜도 $120^{\circ}C$ 처리에 비해 10% 미만의 당화율 감소만 나타내었다. 발효균주의 일반적인 생장적온인 $37^{\circ}C$ 또는 pH 6.5에서도 당화가 정상적으로 잘 일어나 당화/발효를 동시에 진행시킬 수 있는 바이오매스로의 특징을 보였다. 효소량을 기준량의 1/10정도 줄여도 최적조건의 70~80%에 해당하는 glucose 수득율을 나타내었다. 그리고 본 실험조건에서 HR의 고형분 함량 10%까지 당수득율이 떨어지지 않았고 15%이상되어야 감소하기 시작하여 고농도 당용액 생산에도 좋은 특성을 나타내었다. 이들의 제반 결과는 HR이 당화가 매우 쉽게 일어나는 특징을 가진 조류 바이오매스임을 나타내준다. 이러한 장점뿐만 아니라 수집하기가 매우 용이한 사상조류(flilamentous algae)이기 때문에 다른 종류의 조류 바이오매스에 비해 바이오화학제품 생산을 위한 원료로서 향후 이용가치가 매우 높을 것으로 판단된다.

Resveratrol (RES) and genistein (GEN) are the dietary natural products known to possess chemopreventive property and also the ability to repair DNA damage induced by mutagens/carcinogens. It is believed that the therapeutic activity of these compounds could be primarily due to their interaction with nucleic acids but detailed reports are not available. We here explore the interaction of these drugs with nucleic acids considering DNA and RNA as a potential therapeutic target. The interaction of RES and GEN has been analysed in buffered solution with DNA [saline sodium citrate (SSC)] and RNA [tris ethylene diammine tetra acetic acid (TE)] using UV-absorption and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The UV analysis revealed lesser binding affinity with nucleic acids at lower concentration of RES (P/D = 5.00 and 10.00), while at higher drug concentration (P/D = 0.75, 1.00 and 2.50) hyperchromic effect with shift in the ${\lambda}_{max}$ is noted for DNA and RNA. A major RES-nucleic acids complexes was observed through base pairs and phosphate backbone groups with K = $35.782\;M^{-1}$ and K = $34.25\;M^{-1}$ for DNA-RES and RNA-RES complexes respectively. At various concentrations of GEN (P/D = 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00 and 2.50) hyperchromicity with shift in the ${\lambda}_{max}$ from 260 $\rightarrow$ 263 om and 260 $\rightarrow$ 270 nm is observed for DNA-GEN and RNA-GEN complexes respectively. The binding constant (from UV analysis) for GEN-nucleic acids complexes could not be obtained due to GEN absorbance overlap with that of nucleic acids at 260 nm. Nevertheless a detailed analysis with regard to the interaction of these drugs (RES/GEN) with DNA and RNA could feasibly be understood by FTIR spectroscopy. The NH band of free DNA and RNA which appeared at $3550-3100\;cm^{-1}$ and $3650-2700\;cm^{-1}$ shifted to $3450-2950\;cm^{-1}$ and $3550-3000\;cm^{-1}$ in DNA-RES and RNA-RES complexes respectively. Similarly shifts corresponding to $3650-3100\;cm^{-1}$ and $3420-3000\;cm^{-1}$ have been observed in DNA-GEN and RNA-GEN complexes respectively. The observed reduction in NH band of free nucleic acids upon complexation of these drugs is an indication of the involvement of the hydroxyl (OH) and imino (NH) group during the interaction of the drugs and nucleic acids (DNA/RNA) through H-bonded formation. The interaction of RES and GEN with bases appears in the order of G $\geq$ T > C > A and A > C $\geq$ T > G. Further interaction of these natural compounds with DNA and RNA is also supported by changes in the vibrational frequency (shift/intensity) in symmetrical and asymmetrical stretching of aromatic rings of drugs in the complex spectra. No appreciable shift is observed in the DNA and RNA marker bands, indicating that the B-DNA form and A-family conformation of RNA are not altered during their interaction with RES and GEN.

This study was performed to investigate the effect of feeding garcinia cambogia extract (HCA) and/or L-carnitine and exercise (swimming) on body weight in rats. Forty-eight male rats (Charles River CD (SD) IGS) of eight weeks old and weighing $323.5\pm2.4g$ were raised for two months with high fat diet ($40\%$ fat as calorie) to induce obesity. After induction of obesity, rats weighing $552.8\pm5.8g$ were blocked into eight groups according to body weight and raised for six weeks with diet containing HCA and/or L-carnitine. Plasma aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, total protein and albumin levels were in normal ranges. Food and calorie intakes of H + C and H + C/H groups were highest among non-exercise (m) groups and exercise (I) groups. Food and calorie intakes of m groups were higher than those of I groups. E groups showed significantly lower body weight gain and calorie efficiency ratio than m groups and H/E group was the lowest among all groups. Perirenal fat pad weights of E groups were lower than m groups, and epididymal fat pad weights of H and H + C groups were lower than CO and C groups among m groups regardless of exercise treatment. Brown adipose tissue weights of I groups were higher than fn groups and highest in H/E group among all groups. Liver citrate lyase activities of H and C groups were lower than CO and H + C groups regardless of exercise treatment. The differences between NE groups and E groups were not found to be significantly. Liver carnitine acyltranferase activity was not significantly different among all groups. Fecal total lipid, triglyceride and total cholesterol excretions were found to be higher in H and H + C uoups compared to CO and C groups both in NE and E animals, those of lipid excretions of NE groups were higher than E groups. In conclusion, HCA was more effective in reduction of body weight and body fat than L-carnitine or HCA + L-carnitine. HCA ingestion with exercise was far more effective than without exercise treatment in reducing body weight and body fat.

본 연구는 수산양식분야에서 용수를 살균하기 위해 제품화되어 있는 UV 및 플라즈마 장치를 100 ℓ 수조에 적용하고 처리수를 1 ℓ씩 채수, 농축하여 시료 내 세균 수의 변화를 확인하여 두 가지 처리 방식에 따른 효과를 비교하였다. 각 장치를 6시간 동안 작동시키면서 일반 해수 내 세균을 MA, TCBS, SS 배지에 배양하여 세균 수 변화를 확인하였고, 살균처리된 해수 내 Edwardsiella piscicida를 인위 접종한 후 처리수 내 E. piscicida 세균 수 변화를 확인한 결과 UV 장치와 플라즈마 장치 간의 세균 저감 효율은 99.5~99.9% 수준으로 거의 유사한 수준으로 확인되었다. 2가지 장치를 적용하여 100 ℓ의 수량을 동일한 시간 동안 처리하였을 때, 플라즈마 방식의 경우 UV 장치와 비교하여 더 짧은 시간 안에 세균을 사멸하는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 본 연구에서는 단기적(6시간)으로만 세균 수 변화를 확인한 것으로, 사료찌꺼기, 배설물, 연안 오염 등에 따라 수질의 변동이 크고 biofilm과 유기물이 많이 존재하는 실제 양식환경을 고려할 때, 탁도와 유기물의 존재에 따라 한계가 있는 UV 처리 방식보다는 지속적이고 일정한 효과를 유지할 수 있는 플라즈마 처리 방식이 보다 효율적일 것으로 사료된다.
