본 연구는 1,4-dioxane을 함유한 폐수를 $O_3/H_2O_2$ 고급산화공정에서 1,4-dioxane의 제거율 및 생물학적분해 가능성을 실험하였다. 산화공정에 사용한 반응기는 bubble column 형태이며, 초기 pH 및 과산화수소의 초기농도를 달리하여 14-dioxane의 제거특성을 실험하였다. $H_2O_2$의 초기농도는 $40{\sim}120\;mg/L$로 조절하였으며, 초기 pH는 6과 9로 조절하여 산화반응에 의한 1,4-dioxane의 제거율 및 $BOD_5$, TOC 등을 분석하였다. 실험 결과 동일한 초기 pH에서 $H_2O_2$의 초기농도가 높을수록 1,4-dioxane의 제거율은 증가하였다. 오존의 소비량과 과산화수소의 초기농도 사이에는 직선적인 제거율을 나타내었으며, 이러한 이유는 높은 초기 $H_2O_2$ 농도에서 hydroxyl radical($OH{\cdot}$) 및 hydroperoxy ions(${HO_2}^-$)의 생성을 가속화 시킨 것에 기인한다고 판단되었다. $O_3/H_2O_2$ 고급산화공정에서 과산화수소의 초기농도는 1,4-dioxane의 제거와 생물학적 분해가능성을 높이는 것으로 관찰되었다.

본 연구에서는 시안 성분을 제거함에 있어 처리수의 재활용이 가능한 과산화수소에 의한 시안분해 특성을 규명하기 위한 실험을 수행하였다. 수용액중의 과산화수소의 자가분해반응은 pH와 금속촉매(Cu) 유무에 크게 좌우된다. pH 10 이하에서는 자가분해반응은 미미하여 90%이상의 과산화수소가 잔류하지만 pH 12에서는 90경과시 잔류 과산화수소가 9%이하로 낮아졌다. 금속촉매 첨가(5 g Cu/L)한 경우 pH 12에서도 40분 경과후 대부분의 과산화수소가 분해되었다. 유리시안의 휘발성은 용액의 pH에 크게 좌우된다. 동일한 240분 경과시 pH 8이하에서 대부분의 시안이 휘발하는데 반하여 pH 10이상에서는 10%미만이 휘발하였다. 비촉매반응에 의한 과산화수소의 시안분해실험에서는 $H_2$$O_2$/CN 몰비 4까지 과다하게 증가하여도 8%가량의 시안이 잔류하였다. 그러나 구리촉매반응에 의한 과산화수소의 시안분해 실험에서는 과산화수소 및 구리 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 분해속도가 증가하였다. 그러나 일정량 이상 첨가시 과산화수소의 자체분해 반응에 의해 $H_2$$O_2$의 시안분해 효율이 감소하며 과산화수소와 구리의 적정투입량은$ H_2$$O_2$/CN 몰비 2, Cu 몰비 0.05로서 이때의 분해속도는 22 mM/min, $H_2O$$_2$효율은 57%이었다. 또한 이러한 적정조건에서 70분 반응시 완전제거가 가능하였다.

Oxidative stress is one of the contributors of neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer's disease. According to previous studies, Aster yomena (Kitam.) Honda (AY) possesses variable pharmacological activities including anti-coagulant and anti-obesity effect. In this study, we aimed to determine the neuroprotective effect of ethyl acetate fraction from Aster yomena (Kitam.) Honda (EFAY) against oxidative stress. Therefore, we carried out 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,3-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and 2',7'-dichlorofluorescin diacetate assays in SH-SY5Y neuronal cells treated with hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂). H₂O₂-treated control cells exhibited reduced viability of cells, and increased LDH release and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production compared to normal cells. However, treatment with EFAY restored the cell viability and inhibited LDH release and ROS production. To investigate the underlying mechanisms by which EFAY attenuated neuronal oxidative damage, we measured protein expressions using Western blot analysis. Consequently, it was observed that EFAY down-regulated cyclooxygenase-2 and interleukin-1β protein expressions in H₂O₂-treated SH-SY5Y cells that mediated inflammatory reaction. In addition, apoptosis-related proteins including B-cell lymphoma-2-associated X protein/B-cell lymphoma-2 ratio, cleaved caspase-9, and cleaved-poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase protein expressions were suppressed when H₂O₂-treated cells were exposed to EFAY. Our results indicate that EFAY ameliorated H₂O₂-induced neuronal damage by regulating inflammation and apoptosis. Altogether, AY could be potential therapeutic agent for neurodegenerative diseases.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of water extract from Artemisiae Argi Folium (WAAF) on hepatotoxicity caused by acetaminophen (AAP) and acetaldehyde which are regarded as hepatotoxin. Artemisiae Argi Folium was known to have the antibacterial, immune-enhancing, and anticoagulative properties. In Korean Medicine, Artemisiae Argi Folium is supposed to be related with 'liver meridian' according to traditional medical theory. AAP and acetaldehyde reduce the intracellular production of hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) and nitric oxide (NO) production of human hepatocyte HepG2. The intracellular production of hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) was measured by dihydrorhodamine 123 (DHR) assay. NO production was measured with Griess test. WAAF increased the production of $H_2O_2$ and NO reduced by AAP and acetaldehyde in HepG2 cells. Therefore, It could be suggested that WAAF has the hepatoprotective activity against AAP and acetaldehyde.

In chlorine dioxide delignigication or bleaching, chlorate is mainly formed by the reaction between chlorite and hypochlorous acid, thus scavengers of chlorine or hypochlorous acid can be used to reduce the formation of chlorate which is unfavorable to environment. In this study, additives such as sulfamic acid, DMSO, hydrogen peroxide, or sodium chlorite was added to chlorine solution or pure $ClO_2$ solution to check their reactivity with $Cl_2$ and $ClO_2$. These additives were also added directly into general $ClO_2$ solution which contained certain amount of chlorine, then the additive-treated $ClO_2$ solution were used in bleaching stages. The aim of this procedure was to remove the original amount of chlorine that was thought to be possibly the main reason for the formation of chlorate and AOX. The additives were found to be able to eliminate chlorine very fast and selectively, but $H_2$ $O_2$ should be used under pH4, otherwise it also reacts with $ClO_2$. After the additives reacted With $Cl_2$, DMSO turned into an inactive product $(CH_3)_2SO_2$, While Sulfamic acid turned into $HClSO_3H$ that still remained active in oxidation, and $NaClO_2$ produced $ClO_2$. The addition of $HNaClO_2$ showed significant improvement in delignification but the deeper delignification led to higher formation of chlorate. When the additive-treated chlorine dioxide solutions were used in bleaching, both sulfamic acid, DMSO, and hydrogen peroxide showed no significant changes of DE brightness and Kappa number. The formation of chlorate was reduced by addition of sulfamic acid, DMSO and hydrogen peroxide.

Oxidative stress is one of the pathogenic mechanisms of various neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease. Neuroglia, the most abundant cells in the brain, is thought to play an important role in the antioxidant defense system and neuronal metabolic support against neurotoxicity and oxidative stress. We investigated the protective effect of paeoniflorin (PF) against oxidative stress in C6 glial cells. Exposure of C6 glial cells to hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂, 500 μM) significantly decreased cell viability and increased amounts of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release, indicating H₂O₂-induced cellular damage. However, treatment with PF significantly attenuated H₂O₂-induced cell death as shown by increased cell survival and decreased LDH release. The H₂O₂-stimulated reactive oxygen species production was also suppressed, and it may be associated with improvement of superoxide dismutase activity by treatment with PF. In addition, an increase in ratio of Bcl-2/Bax protein expression was observed after treatment with PF. In particular, the down-stream of the apoptotic signaling pathway was inhibited in the presence of PF, mostly by reduction of cleaved-poly ADP ribose polymerase, cleaved caspase-3, and -9 protein expression. Furthermore, H₂O₂-induced phosphorylation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 was attenuated by treatment with PF. Taken together, neuroprotective effect of PF against oxidative stress probably result from the regulation of apoptotic pathway in C6 glial cells. In conclusion, our findings suggest that PF may be a potent therapeutic agent for neurodegenerative disorders.

Objectives: Hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) surface treatment of fiber posts has been reported to increase bond strength of fiber posts to resin cements. However, residual oxygen radicals might jeopardize the bonding procedure. This study examined the effect of three antioxidant agents on the bond strength of fiber posts to conventional and self-adhesive resin cements. Materials and Methods: Post spaces were prepared in forty human maxillary second premolars. Posts were divided into five groups of 8 each: G1 (control), no pre-treatment; G2, 10% $H_2O_2$ pre-treatment; G3, G4 and G5. After $H_2O_2$ application, Hesperidin (HES), Sodium Ascorbate (SA) or Rosmarinic acid (RA) was applied on each group respectively. In each group four posts were cemented with Duo-Link conventional resin cement and the others with self-adhesive BisCem cement. Push-out test was performed and data were analyzed using 2-way ANOVA and tukey's post-hoc test (${\alpha}=0.05$). Results: There was a statistically significant interaction between the cement type and post surface treatment on push-out bond strength of fiber posts (p < 0.001, F = 16). Also it was shown that different posts' surface treatments significantly affect the push-out bond strength of fiber posts (p = 0.001). $H_2O_2$ treated posts (G2) and control posts (G1) cemented with Duo-link showed the highest ($15.96{\pm}5.07MPa$) and lowest bond strengths ($6.79{\pm}3.94$) respectively. Conclusions: It was concluded that $H_2O_2$ surface treatment might enhance the bond strength of fiber posts cemented with conventional resin cements. The effect of antioxidants as post's surface treatment agents depends on the characteristics of resin cements used for bonding procedure.

Stress breaks body balance, which can cause diverse physiological disorders and worsen preexisting diseases. However, recent studies have reported that controllable stress and overcoming from stress reinforce resilience to resist against more intense stress afterwards. In this study, we investigated the protective effect of corticosterone (CORT), a representative stress hormone against hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂)-induced neuronal cell death and its underlying molecular mechanism in SH-SY5Y cells, a human neuroblastoma cell line. The decreased cell viability by H₂O₂ was effectively restored by the pretreatment with low concentration of CORT (0.03 μM for 72 h) in the cells. H₂O₂-increased expression of apoptotic markers such as PUMA and Bim was decreased by CORT pretreatment. Furthermore, pretreatment of CORT attenuated H₂O₂-mediated oxidative damages by upregulation of antioxidant enzymes via activation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2). These findings suggest that low concentration of CORT with eustressed condition enhances intracellular self-defense against H₂O₂-mediated oxidative cell death, suggesting a role of low concentration of CORT as one of key molecules for resilience and neuronal cell survival.
