We studied the blue fluorescent OLED with Mg:Ag, Al, Ni as anode materials. Blue fluorescent OLEDs were fabricated using Anode / $MoO_3$ (3 nm) / 2-TNATA (60 nm) / NPB (30 nm) / SH-1 : BD-2 (5 vol.%, 30 nm) / Bphen (40 nm) / Liq (1 nm) / Al (150 nm). Current density of OLED with Mg:Ag was not measured due to too low work function, and that of OLED with Al showed $45.2mA/cm^2$ at 12 V. Luminance and Current efficiency of OLED with Al showed $385.1cd/m^2$ and 0.9 cd/A. Current density of OLED with Ni of 8, 10, 12 nm thickness showed 10, 12.9, $37.2mA/cm^2$, respectively. Luminance and Current efficiency of OLED with Ni of 8, 10, 12 nm thickness showed 670.9, 991.2, $1,320cd/m^2$ and 6.7, 7.7, 3.6 cd/A, respectively. Transmittance of Al was 52.2% at 476 nm wavelength and that of Ni of 8, 10, 12 nm thickness was 79, 77, 74 %, respectively. In spite of best current density, OLED with Al showed the lowest luminance and current efficiency because of low work function and poor transmittance. When thickness of Ni was increased to 12nm, current efficiency was sharply lower owing to bad transmittance and unbalance of holes and electrons. Finally, OLED with Ni of 10 nm thicknes showed the highest current efficiency.

Background: To investigate the effect of pectinase-treated Panax ginseng (GINST) in cellular and male subfertility animal models. Methods: Hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$)-induced mouse spermatocyte GC-2spd cells were used as an in vitro model. Cell viability was measured using MTT assay. For the in vivo study, GINST (200 mg/kg) mixed with a regular pellet diet was administered orally for 4 mo, and the changes in the mRNA and protein expression level of antioxidative and spermatogenic genes in young and aged control rats were compared using real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and western blotting. Results: GINST treatment ($50{\mu}g/mL$, $100{\mu}g/mL$, and $200{\mu}g/mL$) significantly (p < 0.05) inhibited the $H_2O_2$-induced ($200{\mu}M$) cytotoxicity in GC-2spd cells. Furthermore, GINST ($50{\mu}g/mL$ and $100{\mu}g/mL$) significantly (p < 0.05) ameliorated the $H_2O_2$-induced decrease in the expression level of antioxidant enzymes (peroxiredoxin 3 and 4, glutathione S-transferase m5, and glutathione peroxidase 4), spermatogenesis-related protein such as inhibin-${\alpha}$, and specific sex hormone receptors (androgen receptor, luteinizing hormone receptor, and follicle-stimulating hormone receptor) in GC-2spd cells. Similarly, the altered expression level of the above mentioned genes and of spermatogenesis-related nectin-2 and cAMP response element-binding protein in aged rat testes was ameliorated with GINST (200 mg/kg) treatment. Taken together, GINST attenuated $H_2O_2$-induced oxidative stress in GC-2 cells and modulated the expression of antioxidant-related genes and of spermatogenic-related proteins and sex hormone receptors in aged rats. Conclusion: GINST may be a potential natural agent for the protection against or treatment of oxidative stress-induced male subfertility and aging-induced male subfertility.

Co-application of organic coating and cathodic protection has not provided enough durability to low-alloyed steels inseawater ballast tank (SBT) environments. An attempt has made to study the effect of alloy elements (Al, Cr, Cu, Mo, Ni, Si, W) on general and localized corrosion resistance of steels as basic research to develop new low-allowed steels resistive to corrosion in SBT environments. For this study, we measured the corrosion rate by the weigh loss method after periodic immersion in synthetic seawater at $60^{\circ}C$, evaluated the localized corrosion resistance by an immersion test in concentrated chloride solution with the critical pH depending on the alloy element (Fe, Cr, Al, Ni), determined the permeability of chloride ion across the rust layer by measuring the membrane potential, and finally, we analyzed the rust layer by EPMA mapping and compared the result with the E-pH diagram calculated in the study. The immersion test of up to 55 days in the synthetic seawater showed that chromium, aluminium, and nickel are beneficial but the other elements are detrimental to corrosion resistance. Among the beneficial elements, chromium and aluminium effectively decreased the corrosion rate of the steels during the initial immersion, while nickel effectively decreased the corrosion rate in a longer than 30-day immersion. The low corrosion rate of Cr- or Al-alloyed steel in the initial period was due to the formation of $Cr_2FeO_4$ or $Al_2FeO_4$, respectively -the predicted oxide in the E-pH diagram- which is known as a more protective oxide than $Fe_3O_4$. The increased corrosion rate of Cr-alloyed steels with alonger than 30-day exposure was due to low localized corrosion resistance, which is explained bythe effect of the alloying element on a critical pH. In the meantime, the low corrosion rate of Ni-alloyed steel with a longer than 30-day exposure wasdue to an Ni enriched layer containing $Fe_2NiO_4$, the predicted oxide in the E-pH diagram. Finally, the measurement of the membrane potential depending on the alloying element showed that a lower permeability of chloride ion does not always result in higher corrosion resistance in seawater.

분자 내 수소결합 가능성을 가지고 있는 2-fluorocyclopropanemethanol과 2-chlorocyclopropanemethanol에 대하여 MP2/6-311++G(d,p) 방법과 B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) 방법으로 최적화 계산을 수행하였다. 두 분자 모두 가장 안정한 conformer에서 O-H의 수소가 F나 Cl을 향하고 있어 수소결합 가능성을 보이기는 하나 $H{\cdots}F$, $H{\cdots}Cl$ 거리가 van der Waals radii보다 커서 강한 수소결합이라 보기 힘들고 두 번째 안정한 conformer의 경우가 가까운 $H{\cdots}F$, $H{\cdots}Cl$ 거리를 보이며 더 강한 수소결합 가능성을 보였다. 그러나 에너지가 5 ~ 7 kJ 더 높게 나타났다. Methanol group과 F나 Cl이 서로 반대 방향을 향할 때 일반적으로 안정하나 앞의 가장 안정한 conformer보다는 에너지가 높다.

This study investigated the shear bond strengths between abrasion-resistant denture teeth and composite resins according to surface treatments. Denture teeth for this study were Trubyte IPN teeth(Dentsply Inc., USA) with interpenetrating polymer network and Endura Posterio (Shofu Inc. Japan) of composite resin teeth, and restorative composite resins were Clearfil FII (Kuraray, Japan) of the self-cured composite resin and Z100(3M Dental Product, USA) of the light-cured composite resin. Five different surface treatments were evaluated: (1) $50{\mu}m\;A1_2O_3$ sandblasting: (2) #100 carbide paper; (3) chloroform; (4) retentive holes; and (5) no treatment. After surface treatments, denture teeth were examined by scanning electron microscopy(SEM), and the maximum shear bond strengths between abrasion-resistant denture teeth and composite resins were measured using Instron. The results were as follows; 1. IPN teeth treated with sandblasting had the highest shear bond strength, and Endura treated with sandblasting and carbide paper had significantly greater shear bond strength than with any other surface treatment. 2. Regardless or composite resins, the shear bond strength on Endura was greater than on IPN teeth. 3. Regardless of denture teeth, the shear bond strength of Clearfil FII was greater han of Z100. 4. In appearance of SEM, IPN teeth treated with sandblasting showed generalized roughness on the all of surface, however, carbide paper treatment resulted in partly rough. Endura treated with sandblasting and carbide paper showed similar surface characteristics. Wetting denture teeth surface with chloroform removed the debris and created a particle-free and smooth surface.

Objectives : This study investigated whether the water extract of Spatholobi Caulis (SCE) has the ability to protect hepatocyte against oxidative stress induced by tert-butylhydroperoxide (tBHP) in vitro and $CCl_4$ in vivo. Methods : In vitro, HepG2 cells pre-treated with Spatholobi Caulis water extract (1, 3, 10, $30{\mu}g$/ml) for 12h and further incubated with tBHP ($100{\mu}M$) for the next 12h. Cell viability was assessed by MTT assay. In vivo, rats were orally administrated with the aqueous extract of Spatholobi Caulis (SCE; 50, 100 mg/kg) for 4 days and then, injected with $CCl_4$ 1 mg/kg body weight to induce acute liver damage. Results : Treatment with SCE inhibited cell death induced by tBHP, as evidenced by alterations in the levels of the proteins associated with apoptosis:SCE prevented a decrease in $Bcl_2$, and cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase and pro-caspase-3. Moreover, SCE inhibited the ability of tBHP to generate $H_2O_2$ production, thereby restoring GSH content. Moreover, SCE treatments in rats effectively decreased liver injuries induced by a single dose of $CCl_4$, as evidenced by decreases in hepatic degeneration and inflammation as well as plasma alanine aminotransferase and lactate dehydrogenase activities. Consistently, treatments of SCE also protected liver in rats stimulated by $CCl_4$, as indicated by restoration GSH and prevention of MDA in the liver. Conclusions : SCE has the ability 1) to protect hepatocyte against oxidative stress induced by tBHP and 2) to prevent $CCl_4$-inducible acute liver toxicity. Present findings may be informative not only in elucidating the pharmacological mechanism of Spatholobi Caulis, but in determining its potential application for oxidative cellular damage in the liver.

오존산화공정에서 수산화라디칼(OH.)의 생성속도가 다양한 실험조건(오존의 주입농도, 니트로벤젠의 농도, scavenger, pH, 과산화수소)에서 측정되었다. 니트로벤젠은 오존과의 직접적인 반응보다는 수산화라디칼에 의해 분해되었으며 분해속도는 오존과 니트로벤젠의 농도의 함수로 표현되었다. 또한 수산화라디칼 scavenger의 농도가 증가할수록 반응속도는 감소하였다. 실험상에서 얻은 모든 결과는 일차반응속도식을 따랐다. Probe compound와 scavenger를 이용한 경쟁적 방법을 사용하여 수산화라디칼을 측정하였는데, 그 결과 수산화라디칼의 생성속도는 오존의 농도에 선형적으로 비례하였으며, 오존 1몰당 수산화라디칼은 0.24몰이 생성되었다. 동일 오존농도에서 pH의 변화에 따른 수산화라디칼의 생성속도가 측정되었으며, (pH 10.2 ($0.91Ms^{-1}$) > pH 7.3($0.72Ms^{-1}$) > pH 5.6($0.67Ms^{-1}$) > pH 3.4($0.63Ms^{-1}$)) 중성이하의 pH에서보다 알칼리성 pH에서 수산화라디칼은 많이 발생됨을 알 수 있다. 또한 과산화수소의 첨가도 수산화라디칼의 생성속도를 증진시키는 결과를 낳았다. pH의 조절과 과산화수소의 첨가시 발생속도를 비교해보면 과산화수소를 첨가했을 때 수산화라디칼의 발생속도는 1.6배정도 더 크게 측정되었는데 이는 수산화라디칼을 발생시키는 데 있어서 과산화수소의 첨가가 pH의 조절보다는 더 좋은 증진제로써 작용할 수 있다는 것을 설명해준다. 이러한 결과들은 오염된 토양이나 지하수를 처리하기 위한 오존을 이용한 고급산화공정에 충분히 적용될 수 있을 것이라 판단된다.
