The promoting effect of hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) against the cytotoxicity of 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ($MPP^+$) in differentiated PC12 cells was assessed by measuring the effect on the mitochondrial membrane permeability. Treatment of PC12 cells with $MPP^+$ resulted in the nuclear damage, decrease in the mitochondrial transmembrane potential, cytosolic accumulation of cytochrome c, activation of caspase-3, increase in the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and depletion of GSH. Addition of $H_2O_2$ enhanced the $MPP^+-induced$ nuclear damage and cell death. Catalase, Carboxy-PTIO, Mn-TBAP, N-acetylcysteine, cyclosporin A and trifluoperazine inhibited the cytotoxic effect of $MPP^+$ in the presence of $H_2O_2$. Addition of $H_2O_2$ promoted the change in the mitochondrial membrane permeability, ROS formation and decrease in GSH contents due to $MPP^+$ in PC12 cells. The results show that the $H_2O_2$ treatment promotes the cytotoxicity of $MPP^+$ against PC12 cells. $H_2O_2$ may enhance the $MPP^+$-induced viability loss in PC12 cells by promoting the mitochondrial membrane permeability change, release of cytochrome c and subsequent activation of caspase-3, which is associated with the increased formation of ROS and depletion of GSH. The findings suggest that $H_2O_2$ as a promoting agent for the formation of mitochondrial permeability transition may enhance the neuronal cell injury caused by neurotoxins.

Grafting과 주형용액 성분의 조절에 의한 붕괴 반웅과 방사선애 의한 graft 중합의 공간적 변화는 발견되지 않았다. 스틸렌-셀루로즈 아세테이트 grafts의 내절연성은 스틸렌 함량이 증가할수록 증가한 반면 친수성 단량체에 관한 grafts는 확실한 효과를 나타내지 않았다. 동시 조사법에 의해 graft된 셀루로즈 아세테이트막과 비교해 보면 전조사법에 의해 graft된 막은 ${\gamma}$선 또는 전자선의 방사선선량과 graft %에 관계없이 거의 변하지 않았다. VP:St: BPO 시스템내 디비닐벤젠 (DB) 또는 트리메틸프로판트리아크레이트(TMPT) 같은 가교제의 혼합으로 점차 graft %는 증가되었다. 셀루로즈 아세테이트막에 대한 St:VP:BPO 용액의 grafting에 관한 활성화 에너지는 55$^{\circ}$-8$0^{\circ}C$에서 약 21.8Kca1/mole이었다. Grafting의 초기속도 (%/hr)는 선량강도의 0.76 승에 비례하였다.

양친성 PCZ-r-PEG 랜덤 공중합체를 기반으로 한 수열합성법을 통해 자가조립된 메조기공 이산화티타늄 마이크로 스피어를 합성하였다. 중합된 PCZ-r-PEG는 푸리에 변환 적외분광법(fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, FT-IR), 핵자기공명(nuclear magnetic resonance, NMR), 젤 투과 크로마토그래피(gel permeation chromatography, GPC) 그리고 투과전자 현미경(transmission electron microscopy, TEM)을 통해 그 특성이 분석되었다. 다공성 이산화티타늄 입자는 PCZ-r-PEG, 글루코스(glucose), 물을 테트라히드로푸란(tetrahydrofuran, THF) 용액에 분산시킨 뒤 $150^{\circ}C$, 12시간 동안 반응시켰다. 다공성 이산화티타늄 입자의 구조와 결정성 분석을 위해 주사전자현미경(scanning electron microscopy, SEM)과 엑스선 회절(X-ray diffraction, XRD)이 사용되었다.

조직공학용 생체 물질로 사용하고자 가교제 1,3-butadiene diepoxide (BD)를 사용하여 락타이드와 가교시킨 히아루론산 막을 제조하였다. 막의 락타이드 및 BD 반응도는 핵자기 공명 분광볍으로 결정하였다. BD 농도가 높을 경우 6%이하의 성장저해 현상이 나타났으나 그 값은 세포 성장에 문제되지 않을 정도로 충분히 낮았다. 가교온도가 낮을수록 탄성 율은 증가하고 팽윤도는 감소하였다. 막의 생분해속도는 가교온도가 낮을수록 감소하였다. 약물방출 실험 결과 가교 온도가 낮을수록 막을 통한 약물 투과는 감소하였다.

This study was accomplished to get the foundation design data of VMD(Vacuum Membrane Distillation) system for Solar Thermal VMD plant. VMD experiment was designed to evaluate thermal performance of VMD using PVDF(polyvinylidene fluoride) hollow fiber hydrophobic membranes. The total membrane surface area in a VMD module is $5.3m^2$. Experimental equipments to evaluate VMD system consists of various parts such as VMD module, heat exchanger, heater, storage tank, pump, flow meter, micro filter. The experimental conditions to evaluate VMD module were salt concentration, temperature, flow rate of feed sea water. Salt concentration of feed water were used by aqueous NaCl solutions of 25g/l, 35g/l and 45g/l concentration. As a result, increase in permeate flux of VMD module is due to the increasing feed water temperature and feed water flow rate. Also, decrease in permeate flux of VMD module is due to increasing salinity of feed water. VMD module required about 590 kWh/day of heating energy to produce $1m^3/day$ of fresh water.

A series of novel PBI/SrTiO₃ nanocomposite membranes composed of polybenzimidazole (PBI) and strontium titanate (SrTiO₃) with a perovskite structure were fabricated with various concentrations of SrTiO₃ through a solution casting method. Various characterization techniques such as proton nuclear magnetic resonance, thermogravimetric analysis, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and AC impedance spectroscopy were used to investigate the chemical structure, thermal, phosphate absorption and morphological properties, and proton conductivity of the fabricated nanocomposite membranes. The optimized PBI/SrTiO₃-8 polymer nanocomposite membrane containing 8wt% of SrTiO₃ showed a higher proton conductivity of 7.95 × 10^-2 S/cm at 160℃ compared to other nanocomposite membranes. The PBI/SrTiO₃-8 composite membrane also showed higher thermal stability compared to pristine PBI. In addition, the roughness change of the polymer composite membrane was also investigated by AFM. Based on these results, nanocomposite membranes based on perovskite structures are expected to be considered as potential candidates for high-temperature PEM fuel cell applications.

The development of separation technology is an important research subject as is clear from its role in the Japanese government's research and development program for basic technology for the next generation(1981~1990). Japan is poor not only in mineral resources but also in energy resources and if a sudden change occurs in oil producing facility or an accident occurs in a nuclear power plant, then energy policy must undergo changes and economic foundations may collapse. Japan has already experienced this. Although, oil prices are stable at present and Japan can import oil at low cost due to the yen appreciation, Japan needs to promote development work for any new energy crisis that may come in the future. This has been the motive for gas separation membrane development in Japan. The study of gas permeation through polymer membranes, which is the basis for membranes for gas separation, at Japanese universities began many years ago, but interest in membranes for gas separation was aroused mainly by the Government. The development of gas separation membranes in Japan started with membranes for oxygen separation on an industrial scale.

The present study is of ultra-fine structures of Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Microsporum canis and Epidermophyton floccosum by means of electron microscopy and reveals the following. 1. In contrast to the bacteria, the normal fungus contains nuclear membrane, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulun, distinct cell wall and cell membrane and secretory granules as observed in the higher plants and animals. 2. Thickening of the cell wall, inapparent cell wall, inapparent cell membrane with the appearance of electron thin area(ETA) and increase of inclusions were observed in the L-1 treated groups. 3. Thickening of cell wall and increase of ETA were more apparent in the Epidermophyton floccosum than the other groups. 4. Increase of electron thin area was thought to be associated with autolysis.
