A cationic lipid emulsion (o/w) containing lipiodol and 1, 2-dioleoyl-sn- glycero-3-trimethylammonium-propane (DOTAP) has been prepared as a gene delivery system. In order to increase the transfection efficiency of the lipiodol emulsion, 1 2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-ethanolamine (DOPE) and polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate (Tween 80) were incorporated as additional lipids. By including DOPE and Tween 80, the cationic emulsion became a more potent gene carrier under in vitro condition in the presence of serum, and under in vivo condition. (omitted)

Wet-spun silk fibers have attracted the attention of many researchers because of 1) the unique properties of silk as a biomaterial, including good biocompatibility and cyto-compatability and 2) the various methods available to control the structure and properties of the fiber. Cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) have typically been used as a reinforcing material for natural and synthetic polymers. In this study, CNF-embedded silk fibroin (SF) nanocomposite fibers were prepared for the first time. The effects of CNF content on the rheology of the dope solution and the characteristics of wet-spun CNF/SF composite fibers were also examined. A 5% SF formic acid solution that contained no CNFs showed nearly Newtonian fluid behavior, with slight shear thinning. However, after the addition of 1% CNFs, the viscosity of the dope solution increased significantly, and apparent shear thinning was observed. The maximum draw ratio of the CNF/SF composite fibers decreased as the CNF content increased. Interestingly, the crystallinity index for the silk in the CNF/SF fibers was sequentially reduced as the CNF content was increased. This phenomenon may be due to the fact that the CNFs prevent ${\beta}$-sheet crystallization of the SF by elimination of formic acid from the dope solution during the coagulation process. The CNF/SF composite fibers displayed a relatively smooth surface with stripes, at low magnification (${\times}500$). However, a rugged nanoscale surface was observed at high magnification (${\times}10,000$), and the surface roughness increased with the CNF content.

트리아세틸 셀룰로오스(triacetyl cellulose, TAC) 용액필름 가공 시, 가공 공정 변수인 TAC 도프(dope)의 농도, 용매 제거 온도, 열처리 온도와 흐름특성 증가를 위하여 사용되는 가소제의 첨가가 TAC 필름의 구조 변형에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 사용 도프의 농도가 높을수록, 용매 제거 온도가 높을수록 TAC의 결정화가 더 잘 발현됨을 알 수 있으며 이러한 결정화는 TAC 필름의 제조 후 열처리에 의하여 증가됨을 확인하였다. 또한, 가소제의 첨가에 의한 주사슬의 유연성 증가에 의하여 용융온도 및 결정화도가 감소하며 첨가된 가소제의 방향족 구조로 인하여 필름의 열분해 안정성이 우수해짐을 알 수 있었다.

Hollow fiber (HF) membranes are gaining wide interest over flat membranes due to their compaction and high area to surface volume ratio. This work addresses the fabrication of HF from polysulfone (PS) and polyethersulfone (PES) using N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) as solvent in addition to other additives to achieve desired characteristics. The semi-pilot spinning system includes jacketed vessel, four spinneret block, coagulation and washing baths in addition to dryer and winder. Different parameters affecting dry-wet spinning phase inversion process were investigated. Dope compositions of PES, NMP and polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) of varying molecular weights as additive were addressed. Some critical parameters of importance were also investigated. Those include dope flow rate, air gap, coagulation & washing baths and drying temperatures. The measured dope viscosity was in the range from 1.7 to 36.5 Pa.s. Air gap distance was adjusted from 20 to 45 cm and coagulation bath temperature from 20 to $46^{\circ}C$. The HF membranes were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM) and mechanical properties. Results indicated prevalence of finger like structure and average surface roughness from about 29 to 78.3 nm. Profile of stress strain characteristics revealed suitability of the fibers for downstream interventions for fabrication of thin film composite membrane. Different empirical correlations were formulated which enable deeper understanding of the interaction of the above mentioned variables. Data of pure water permeability (PWP) confirmed that the fabricated samples fall within the microfiltration (MF)-ultrafiltration (UF) range of membrane separation.

다양한 형태의 Polysulfone 막을 MBR공정에 적용하기 위해 제조하였다. 특히 제조공정에 있어서 여러 형태의 에테르형 알코올을 사용 도프용액에 첨가시킴으로써, 공경크기에 미치는 영향력을 조사하였다. 본 연구에서는 공경의 크기는 첨가된 첨가제의 끓는점에 의한 영향력보다는 그들 자체(첨가된 첨가제)의 분자구조에 의한 확산에 더 큰 영향력을 받고 있음을 보여주었다. 분자적으로 methoxy ($CH_3$-O-) < secondary propanol ($-CH_2$-CH(OH)$-CH_3$) < ethoxy ($CH_3-CH_2-O-$)의 순으로 공경크기가 커지고 그에 따라 순수투과도 또한 커짐을 보여주었다. 이러한 현상은 첨가된 용매가 분자적으로 ether형 알코올의 bulky한 정도에 따라 공경의 형성이 다른 형태로 나타나고 있음을 보여주고 있다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 형태의 ether형 alcohol를 통하여 바라고자하는 형태(평균 pore size 0.1~0.4 ${\mu}m$)의 MF (microfiltration)막을 제조할 수 있었으며, MBR (membrane bio-reactor)에 적용한 결과 2달 동안 안정되게 운전되었다.

Poly(ethylene glycol)-phosphatidylethanolamine conjugate (PEG-PE) has been used in preparing longcirculating liposomes. As a substitute for PEG-PE which can also be used in the long-circulating liposome formualtions, but can be prepared more readily with a lower cost, PEG-Phe-Chol was synthesized from PEG, phenylalanine, and cholesterol. The addition of the PEG derivative to distearoylphosphatidylcholine (DSPC) led to the formation of mixed micelles as well as liposomes when the derivative content was 10 mol% or greater. On the other hand, the addition of just 5 mol% PEG-Phe-Chol to dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE) generated mixed micelles as well as liposomes, but the formation of mixed micelles was completely inhibited by the addition of cholesterol. The leakage of entrapped calcein out of DOPE/cholesterol (7/3) liposomes containing 5 mol% PEG-Phe-Chol was about 45% during the incubation time for 24 h in 50% rabbit plasma, which was similar to that of the same liposomes containing 5 mol% PEG-dipalmitoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DPPE) under the identical conditions.

Several investigators have shown that CpG-DNA has outstanding effects as a Th1-responsive adjuvant and that its potent adjuvant effects are enhanced by encapsulation with a liposome of proper composition. In this study, we showed that encapsulation with phosphatidyl-${\beta}$-oleoyl-${\gamma}$-palmitoyl ethanolamine (DOPE): cholesterol hemisuccinate (CHEMS) complex enhances the immunostimulatory activity of CpG DNA and the binding of CpG-DNA to TLR9. We also examined involvement of myeloid differentiation protein (MyD88) and NF-${\kappa}B$ activation in liposome-encapsulated CpG-DNA-induced IL-8 promoter activation. In this manuscript, the natural phosphodiester bond CpG-DNA encapsulated by DOPE : CHEMS complex is designated as Lipoplex(O). Importantly, we successfully screened B cell epitopes of envelope protein (E protein) of hepatitis C virus (HCV-E) and attachment glycoprotein G of human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV-G) by immunization with complexes of several peptides and Lipoplex(O) without carriers. Therefore, Lipoplex(O) is potentially applicable as a universal adjuvant for peptide-based epitope screening and antibody production.
