TBP(tributyl phosphate)를 사용하여 왕수 침출액으로부터 질산과 금을 추출하여 회수하는 공정을 개발하기 위한 기초연구가 수행되었다. 순수한 왕수용액으로부터 추출제의 농도, 질산과 염산의 농도 비에 따른 질산의 추출거동을 조사하였으며, 금을 함유하는 왕수용액으로부터 질산과 금의 추출율을 구하였다. McCabe-Thiele 도로부터 얻어진 조업단수와 상비로 역류추출을 행하여 이론적인 추출단수를 검증하였다. 유기상에 장진된 질산과 금의 연속적인 회수를 위한 탈거실험을 수행하였다. 질산과 금의 추출과 염산의 영향을 고려하여 O/A = 1:0.85의 조건으로 역류추출을 통해 2단에 의해 $103.0mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$의 금은 99.9% 추출되었으며, 3단에 의해 $151.2g{\cdot}L^{-1}$의 질산은 98.0% 추출되었다. 질산과 금의 탈거제로는 증류수와 티오황산나트륨이 사용되었으며 탈거율은 각각 99.5%, 92.0%이었다. 이와 같은 연구결과로 왕수용액에 함유되어 있던 금과 질산을 동시에 추출하고 연속적인 탈거공정에 의해서 질산과 금을 회수하는 것이 가능함을 확인하였다.

전기화학적 매개산화 공정에서 발생하는 질산 폐액으로부터 은 및 고농도 질산을 회수하기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 고농도 질산용액 내에 포함된 은의 회수는 전착법으로 이루어졌으며, 질산농도 3M이하에서는 거의 100%의 전류효율로 98% 이상의 은을 회수할 수 있었다. 또한 질산의 회수를 위한 증발 실험이 수행되었으며, 증발률이 25에서 0.5~1.0mol%의$ NaNO_3$를 함유한 3.5M의 질산 공급폐액으로부터 질산의 절대회수율은 약 80~90%로써 2.8~3.1m의 질산을 얻을 수 있었다. 증발공정에서 회수된 묽은 질산 용액을 고농도 질산용액으로 농축하여 MEO 공정에 재사용하기 위한 처리용량 4kg/hr인 증류탑의 설계 인자 및 운전조건을 Naphtali-Sandholm의 MEH 모델을 사용하여 계산하였다. 단 효율이 70% 이상인 11개의 단으로 구성된 증류탑의 공급단을 6단으로 하고 환류비 0.25, 재비기 열용량 2.7㎾, 응축기 열량 0.5㎾로 운전할 경우 시간당 1.03kg의 12M 질산용액과 2.97kg의 물을 얻을수 있었다.

본 연구 목적은 비-가시성 금 정광을 마이크로웨이브-질산용출 시키고, 여과지를 이용하여 금을 단순하게 얻고자 하였다. 본 실험에서 사용된 시료의 경우 질산농도별로 마이크로웨이브-질산용출실험을 수행한 결과 Fe, Te, Ag 등은 완전용출(100%) 되었지만, Au는 용해되지 않았다. 용출용액을 3장의 여과지로 여과하여 SEM/EDS 분석한 결과 첫 번째, 두 번째 및 세 번째 여과지의 표면 및 단면 모두에서 Au가 검출되었다. 고체-잔류물이 포함된 여과지 3장을 모두 납-시금법에 사용한 결과 질산농도 모두에서 금 입자들이 회수되었다. 최대 금 입자(452.50g/t)가 얻어진 용출조건은 질산농도 6M에서 그리고 마이크로웨이브 조사시간 12분에서였다.

Stimulated alveolar macrophages and neutrophils produce nitric oxide, a free radical by an inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS), which reacts with superoxide anion to form peroxynitrite, a more highly reactive toxic species. The objectives of the present study were to evaluate acute inflammatory lung injury and to determine iNOS mRNA induction and nitric oxide production by rat broncho-alveolar lavage cells following intratracheal treatment of silica. After 4 h exposure to silica, differential counts of broncho-alveolar lavage cells and lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) activity as well as total protein in the broncho-alveolar lavage fluid were determined. Broncho-alveolar lavage cells were also assayed for iNOS mRNA and the productions of nitrite and nitrate measured in the cells cultured. Differential analysis of broncho-alveolar lavage cells showed that the number of alveolar macrophages slightly decreased following silica treatment; however, red blood cells, lymphocytes, and neutrophils significantly were increased by 9-, 14-, and 119-fold following silica treatment, respectively, compared with the saline control. It was also found significant increases in the LDH activity and total protein in the lavage fluid obtained from silica-treated rats, indicating silica-induced acute lung injury. Northern blot analysis demonstrated that the steady state levels of iNOS mRNA in broncho-alveolar lavage cells were increased following silica treatment. The productions of nitrite and nitrate in the cultured cells were significantly increased by 2-fold following silica treatment, respectively, which were attenuated by the NOS inhibitor $N{\omega}-nitro-L-arginine-methyl$ ester(L-NAME) and partially reversed by L-arginine. These findings suggest that nitric oxide production in alveolar macrophages and recruited neutrophils is increased in response to silica. Nitric oxide may contribute in part to acute inflammatory lung injury.

To evaluate the involvement of nitric oxide production on the endothelium-dependent relaxation in diabetes, we have measured vascular and endothelial function and nitric oxide concentration, and the expression level of endothelial nitric oxide synthase in the streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Diabetic rats were induced by the injection of streptozotocin (50 mg/kg i.v.) in the Sprague-Dawley rats. Vasoconstrictor responses to norepinephrine (NE) showed that maximal contraction to norepinephrine $(10^{-5}\;M)$ was significantly enhanced in the aorta of diabetic rats. Endothelium-dependent relaxation induced by acetylcholine was markedly impaired in the aorta of diabetic rats, these responses were little improved by the pretreatment with indomethacin. However, endothelium-independent relaxation induced by nitroprusside was not altered in the diabetic rats. Plasma nitrite and nitrate $(NO_2/_3)$ levels in diabetic rats were significantly lower than in non-diabetic rats. Western blot analysis using a monoclonal antibody against endothelial cell nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) revealed that the protein level was lower in the aorta of diabetic rats than in non-diabetic rats. These data indicate that nitric oxide formation and eNOS expression is reduced in diabetes, and this would, in part, account for the impaired endothelium-dependent relaxation in the aorta of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.

본 연구 목적은 비-가시성 금 형태로 산출되는 황화광물 정광을 마이크로웨이브-질산용출하여 황화광물을 효과적으로 용해시키고자 하였고, 고체-잔류물을 납-시금법을 적용하여 금을 회수하고자 하였다. 따라서 질산농도, 용출시간 그리고 시료 첨가량 효과에 대하여 마이크로웨이브-용출실험을 각각 수행하였다. 고체-잔류물의 무게 감소율은 질산농도가 증가할수록 그리고 용출시간이 증가할수록 증가하였지만 시료 첨가량이 증가하면 무게 감소율이 감소하였다. 마이크로웨이브-질산용출을 수행한 결과 질산농도 6 M에서, 마이크로웨이브 용출시간 18분에서 황철석이 완전히 사라진 것을 XRD 분석에서 확인하였다. 고체-잔류물에 대하여 납-시금법을 수행한 결과, 질산농도가 증가할수록 그리고 용출시간이 증가할수록 함량이 증가된 금 입자들을 회수하였다. 반면에 시료 첨가량이 증가할수록 금 함량이 감소하는 입자들을 회수하였다.

Hypertension is a multifactorial disease. Both genetic and environmental factors have been implicated in its etiology. Since the impairment of nitric oxide (NOS) production plays an important role in the pathogenesis of hypertension, endothelial nitric oxide synthase (ecNOS) gene is supposed to be a candidate gene of hypertension. Our study group investigated the 27 bp insertion/deletion (Ins/Del) polymorphism of ecNOS gene in 99 Korean normotensives and 98 hypertensives, respectively. There was no significant association with any cardiovascular risk factors as well as hypertension in Koreans. The Ins/Del polymorphism of the ecNOS gene indicated the similar allele distribution among ethnic groups studied. Further studies using larger sample size and subject information is required to describe the general picture of the association between the ecNOS gene polymorphic loci and hypertension

Nitric oxide (NO), synthesized from L-arginine by three isoforms of NO synthase (NOS), is a gaseous signaling molecule with an astonishingly wide range of biological and pathophysiological activities, including vasorelaxation, angiogenesis, anti-inflammation, and anti-apoptosis in mammalian cells. Recent studies have shown that NO donors and inhaled NO convert to biologically active NO under biological conditions and act as a signaling molecule in pathophysiological conditions. This review will discuss the roles of NO and its potential therapeutic implication in various human diseases, such as tumor, vascular regeneration, hypertension, wound healing, and ischemia-reperfusion injury.

The excessive release of proinflammatory products by activated microglia causes neurotoxicity, and this has been implicated in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. Harpagophytum procumbens (Pedaliaceae) has been widely used for the treatment of pain and arthritis in the clinical field. In this study, we investigated the effect of Harpagophytum procumbens against lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation. From the present results, the aqueous extract of Harpagophytum procumbens was shown to suppress prostaglandin-E2 synthesis and nitric oxide production by inhibiting the lipopolysaccharide-stimulated enhancement of cyclooxygenase-2 and inducible nitric oxide synthase expressions in mouse BV2 microglial cells. These results suggest that Harpagophytum procumbens may offer a valuable means of therapy for the treatment of brain inflammatory diseases by attenuating lipopolysaccharide-induced prostaglandin-E2 synthesis and nitric oxide production.
