The major problem in closing water like lakes and ponds in Korea is that because they are exposed to surrounding, so easily polluted. The pollution in closing water can be caused by not only artificial factor like sewage but also natural factor like elution from sediment. For insurance of safe and satisfied water source, lots of studies and projects are now going on. In this study, we examined the behavior and effect of microbubble ($3{\sim}10{\mu}m$) produced by device called O.S.D (Oxygen Solubillization Device) in small size pond. The value of oxygen transfer coefficient ($K_La$) was 0.68/min independently of air flow rate, 6.5 times higher than commercial aeration stone and the variation of nitrogen concentration was $0.008NO_3/O_2$, DO concentration was potentially saturated for 24 hr. From the results of pilot plant, SOD of experiment (O.S.D) and control were $12.18gO_2{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}d^{-1}$ and $47.95gO_2{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}d^{-1}$ respectively. In conclusion, because O.S.D has extraordinary physico-chemical characteristics, it can contribute to improvement of both the waterbody and the sediment environment.

Effects of hydrogen and oxygen additives on structural, optical, and electrical properties of ZnO films were extensively examined. ZnO films were deposited using RF sputtering by varying the gas mixing ratio of $H_2$ and $O_2$. Optical transmittances at visible region, electrical resistivities, and micro-structures of ZnO films were characterized in terms of the kind and amount of additive gases. It was observed that the material properties of ZnO films required for their use in transparent thin film transistors, such as approximately $10^3{\Omega}cm$ in resistivity and higher than 85% in transmittance, can be achieved by controlling the gas mixing ratio of $O_2/H_2$ (sccm) in the range of 2/2~2/8.

Objectives Oxidative stress, in which antioxidant proteins and scavenger protection are overwhelmed by reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, is recognized as one of central causes of disuse muscle atrophy. In this study, the hypothesis that oral treatment with Dangguibohyul-tang (Dangguibuxuetang) could attenuate immobilization-induced skeletal muscle atrophy was tested. Methods The hindlimb immobilization was performed with casting tape to keep the left ankle joint in a fully extended position. The Rats in Dangguibohyul-tang treated group (DGBHT) (n=10) were orally administrated Dangguibohyul-tang water extract, and rats of Control group (n=10) were given with saline only. After 2 weeks of immobilization, the morphology of right and left gastrocnemius muscles in both DGBHT and Control groups were assessed by hematoxylin and eosin staining. Results Dangguibohyul-tang water extract represented the significant protective effects against the reductions of the left gastrocnemius muscles weight and average cross section area to compared with Control group. Moreover, the treatment with Dangguibohyul-tang extract significantly enhanced the Cu/Zn-SOD activities in gastrocnemius muscle compared with Control group. Conclusions Thses results suggest that Dangguibohyul-tang has protective effects against immobilization-induced muscle atrophy by increasing the Cu/Zn-SOD activities in gastrocnemius muscle.

This study was carried out to identify the effect of oxidative stress on the pathogenesis of manganese intoxication. Five rats in experimental group were given with $MnCl_2$intraperitoneally for 4 weeks(4 mg/kg once daily 5 days per week) and another five rats for control group were given with normal saline. In experimental group, manganese concentrations increased significantly in nucleus accumbens by 142% (p<0.05), SOD activities increased significantly by 124%(p<0.01), and MDA concentrations increased significantly 148%(p<0.05) compared with control group. Among fatty acids, total n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids(PU) increased significantly by 231%(p<0.05) compared with control group. Arachidonic acids(AA) increased by 224%(p<0.05), and these increase were composed mostly of n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids(PUFA). Among n-3 PUFAs except linolenic acids, eicosapentanolc acid(EPA) decreased significantly by 38%(p 0.01) and docosahexanoic acids(DHA) decreased by 30% p<0.05) compared with control group. Our results suggest that the oxygen free radicals produced by manganese may cause compositional changes of fBtty acids in nucleus accumbens of the rat. Characteristics of fatty acids compositional changes by manganese were the decrease of EPAs and DHAs(n-3 PUFAs), and increase of AAs(n-6 PUFAs). These changes with the increase of MDA, suggest that manganese neurotokxcity is caused by lipid perokidation mediated with oxygen free radicals, especially superoxide radicals.

1) The oxygen consumption was studied with albino rats under normal environment after they were given Cytochrome C intravenously (10mg/kg). The cosumption was 74.6cc/kg min. with that of control, 75.4cc/kg. min. The difference of the consumptions was not statistically significant. However, under 0.5% CO environment, the oxygen consumption of the Cytochrome C treated rats (62.5cc/kg min) was significantly greater than the control (42.1cc/kg min.) 2) The recovery time of rat acutely poisoned by 1% CO was studied. The recovery time of the Cytochrome C treated group was 37.2 minutes and in control group it was 52.2 minutes. Also significant difference of fatality was noted between the treated group (21.8%) and the untreated group (49.7%) 3) The combined effects of the hyperbaric oxygenation (100% $O_2$ at 3 atmospheric pressures) and the Cytochrome C administration was compared with the effect of the simple hyperbaric oxygenation. There was no significant difference of recovery time between the experimental group while the fatality of the experiment group was lower than control group.

Soil-borne infectious disease including Pythium aphanidermatum and Rhizoctonia solani causes severe damage to plants, such as cucumber. This soil-borne infectious disease was not controlled effectively by chemical pesticide. Since these diseases spread through the soil, chemical agents are usually ineffective. Instead, biological control, including antagonistic microbe can be used as a preferred control method. An efficient method was developed to select an antagonistic strain to be used as a biological control agent strain. In this new method, surface tension reduction potential of an isolate was included in the ‘decision factor’ in addition to the other factors, such as growth rate, and pathogen inhibition rate. Considering these 3 decision factors by a statistical method, an isolate from soil was selected and was identified as Bacillus sp. GB16. In the pot test, this strain showed the best performance among the isolated strains. The lowest disease incidence rate and fastest seed growth was observed when Bacillus sp. GB16 was used. Therefore this strain was considered as plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). The action of surface tension reducing component was deduced as the enhancement of wetting, spreading, and residing of antagonistic strain in the rhizosphere. This result showed that new selection method was significantly effective in selecting the best antagonistic strain for biological control of soil-borne infectious plant pathogen. The antifungal substances against P. aphanidermatum and R. solani were partially purified from the culture filtrates of Bacillus sp. GB16. In this study, lipopeptide possessing antifungal activity was isolated from Bacillus sp. GB16 cultures by various purification procedures and was identified as a surfactin-like lipopeptide based on the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), high performance liquid chromatography mass spectroscopy (HPLC-MS), and quadrupole time-of-flight (Q-TOF) ESI-MS/MS data. The lipopeptide, named GB16-BS, completely inhibited the growth of Pythium aphanidermatum, Rhizoctonia solani, Penicillium sp., and Botrytis cineria at concentrations of 10 and 50 mg/L, respectively. A novel method to prevent the foaming and to provide oxygen was developed. During the production of surface active agent, such as lipopeptide (surfactin), large amount of foam was produced by aeration. This resulted in the carryover of cells to the outside of the fermentor, which leads to the significant loss of cells. Instead of using cell-toxic antifoaming agents, low amount of hydrogen peroxide was added. Catalase produced by cells converted hydrogen peroxide into oxygen and water. Also addition of corn oil as an oxygen vector as well as antifoaming agent was attempted. In addition, Ca-stearate, a metal soap, was added to enhance the antifoam activity of com oil. These methods could prevent the foaming significantly and maintained high dissolved oxygen in spite of lower aeration and agitation. Using these methods, high cell density, could be achieved with increased lipopeptide productivity. In conclusion to produce an effective biological control agent for soil-borne infectious disease, following strategies were attempted i) effective screening of antagonist by including surface tension as an important decision factor ii) identification of antifungal compound produced from the isolated strain iii) novel oxygenation by $H_2O_2-catalase$ with vegetable oil for antifungal lipopeptide production.

초록(한글) 입력자 : 퇴적층 산소요구는 수중의 퇴적층에서 생물학적 호기성 대사와 화학적 산화에 소모되는 용존산소량으로 1999년 4월부터 11월 사이에 팔당호 현장에서의 SOD는 조사시점에 따라 $4{\sim}5$ 시간동안 $1.57{\sim}12.55$ mg $O_{2}m^{-2}h^{-1}$로 나타났다. 또한 SOD는 퇴적유기물의 양과 퇴적층 내로의 산소 확산의 영향이 컸다. 초기 30분 동안에 물과 퇴적층의 산소요구를 비교하면 SOD가 수층 전체 산소소모의 $63.8{\sim}94$%를 차지하였다. 실험실 내의 SOD 측정에서 화학적 퇴적층 산소요구는 크게 일어나지 않았으며 퇴적층의 탄소성 산소요구는 전체 SOD보다 적게 나타났다. 이 결과로부터 팔당호의 SOD는 주로 생물학적 산소요구에 의한 것이며 질화작용에 의한 산소요구가 SOD에 큰 비중을 차지함을 알 수 있었다. 퇴적층의 두께가 SOD에 미치는 영향은 퇴적물의 특성에 크게 좌우되며 유속을 2배로 빠르게 한 경우에는 SOD가 $1.4{\sim}1.9$배 증가하였다. 본 연구를 통해 SOD가 수층의 용존산소를 감소시키는 주요한 요인임을 알 수 있었으며 상수원으로 이용되는 호수에서 이를 감안한 수질관리가 적용되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

The characterization of the reactively sputtered ITO layer on the PET film has been studied. The PEM device has been used to determine the optimum stoichimetry through control of the amount of oxygen incorporated into the alloy target and the optimum operation conditions to produce films with the highest electrical conductivity and visible transparency. The PEP film was pre-treated under the plasma discharge condition to remove the adsorbed gases and to modify the surface morphology. The results revealed that by adjusting the flow rate of oxygen with the spectral intensity of indium target, the composition of plasma gas can be kept constant during the entire deposition period. The resistivity of ITO film obtained was fond to be about 37$\Omega\Box$, and the transmittance of visual range was about 86%.
