본 연구에서는 반응성 산소족이 수정능력획득, 칩체반응에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 반응성 산소족으로 superoxide anion은 xanthine (X) -xanthine oxidase (XO) system을, hydroperoxide는 $H_2O$$_2$를 농도별로 처 리하였으며, nitric oxide (NO)는 NO donor인 sodium nitroprusside (SNP)를 처리하였다 또한 남성불임요인의 하나로 알려진 leukocytospermia에 대한 영향을 알아보기 위해 lymphocyte를 농도별로 처리하였고, 일반적인 배양기내 산소농도인 20% $O_2$농도를 생체내 농도와 유사한 5% $O_2$ 농도로 낮추었을 때 의 결과를 알아보고자 하였다. 수정능력 획득 정도와 첨체반응률을 알아보기 위해 chlortetracycline (CTC) 염색방법을 이용하였다. 지질과산화 정도는 정자내 malondialdehyde (MDA)의 생성량을 흡광기를 이용하여 정량하였다. $H_2O$$_2$, X-XO, SNP와 lymphocyte 처리군은 1시간 배양시에 수정능력획득률이 유의하게 증가하였으나, 저산소처리군에서는 차이가 없었다. 저 농도의 $H_2O$$_2$를 처리한 경우에는 지질과산화 정도가 감소하였으나, 고 농도에서는 대조군에 비해 유의하게 증가하였다. 고 농도의 Iymphocyte를 처리한 경우에는 1시간 처리시에 지질과산화가 유의하게 증가하였으나, 처리된 산소농도에 따른 지질과산화의 차이는 없었다. 첨체반응률의 경우, 처리한 모든 반응성 산소족에서 대조군에 비해 높은 첨체반응률을 확인하였다. X(100 $\mu$M)-XO(100mIU)의 경우가 가장 높은 첨체반응률을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과들은 반응성 산소족이 수정능력획득, 지질과산화 그리고 첨체반응에 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하여 주었다. 또한 반응성 산소족이 생성된 경우에 수정능력획득이 보다 빠르게 진행되어지는 것은 반응성 산소족이 정자의 과운동성과 수정능력획득의 중요한 조절자임을 시사한다고 사료된다.

In past, dye diffusion and dyeing rate in fibers have been emphasized in dyeing phenomena. However, in the light of the properties of colloids in the surface of disperse phase and dispersion, there exist specific characters such as adsorption or electric double layer, which seems to play important roles in determining the physiochemical properties in the dyeing system. Electrostatic bonding, hydrogen bonding and Van der Waals adsorption are common in dyeing as well as covalent bonding. Particularly, electrostatic bonding is premised on the existance of ionic radicals in fibers. The present study was aimed to clarify the electrokinetic phenomena of dyeing through the role of electric double layer by ion in amphoteric fibers with different ionic effects under different pH. Spectrophotometric analysis method was used to compare dyeing condition of surface, which can be detected by electrokinetic phenomena and the inner of fibers after deceleration of dyed fibers. Nylon and wool, the typical amphoteric fibers were dyed with monoazo acid dyes such as C.I. Acid Orange 20, and C.I. Acid Orange 10. Various combinations were prepared by combining pH, temperature and dye concentration, in order to generate streaming electric potential which were measured by microvolt meter and specific conductivity meter. The results were transformed to zeta potential by Helmholtz-Smoluchowski formular and to surface electric charge density by Suzawa formular, surface dye amount, and effective surface area of fibers. The amount of dyes of inner fibers were also measured by the Lambert-Beer’s law. The main results obtained are as follows. 1. By measuring zeta pontential, it was possible to detect the dyeing mechanism, surface charge density, surface dye amount and effective surface area concerning dye adsorption of the amphoteric fibers. 2. Zeta pontential increases in negative at low pH and high dye concentration in the process of dyeing. This implied that there existed ionic bond formation in the dyeing mechanism between acid dyes and amphoteric fibers. 3. Dibasic acid dye had little changing rate in zeta potential due to the difference in solubility of dye and in number of dissociated ions per dye molecule to bond with amino radicals of amphoteric fibers. The dye adsorption of mono basic acid dye was higher than that of dibasic acid dye. 4. The effective surface areas concerning dyeing were $6.3E+05\;cm^2/g$ in nylon, $1.6E+07\;cm^2/g$ in wool fiber being higher order of wool then nylon.

White-rot basidiomycetes are the organisms that decompose lignin most efficiently, and Trametes villosa is a promising species for ligninolytic enzyme production. There are several publications on T. villosa applications for lignin degradation regarding the expression and secretion of laccase and manganese peroxidase (MnP) but no reports on the identification and characterization of lignin peroxidase (LiP), a relevant enzyme for the efficient breakdown of lignin. The object of this study was to identify and partially characterize, for the first time, gDNA, mRNA, and the corresponding lignin peroxidase (TvLiP) protein from T. villosa strain CCMB561 from the Brazilian semiarid region. The presence of ligninolytic enzymes produced by this strain grown in inducer media was qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed by spectrophotometry, qPCR, and dye fading using Remazol Brilliant Blue R. The spectrophotometric analysis showed that LiP activity was higher than that of MnP. The greatest LiP expression as measured by qPCR occurred on the $7^{th}$ day, and the ABSA medium (agar, sugarcane bagasse, and ammonium sulfate) was the best that favored LiP expression. The amplification of the TvLiP gene median region covering approximately 50% of the T. versicolor LPGIV gene (87% identity); the presence of Trp199, Leu115, Asp193, Trp199, and Ala203 in the translated amplicon of the T. villosa mRNA; and the close phylogenetic relationship between TvLiP and T. versicolor LiP all indicate that the target enzyme is a lignin peroxidase. Therefore, T. villosa CCMB561 has great potential for use as a LiP, MnP, and Lac producer for industrial applications.

The need for rapid on-site monitoring of hydroponic macronutrients has led to the use of ion-selective electrodes, because of their advantages over spectrophotometric methods, including simple methodology, direct measurement of analyte, sensitivity over a wide concentration range, and low cost. Stability and repeatability of response can be a concern when using multiple ion-selective electrodes to measure concentrations in a series of samples because accuracy might be limited by drifts in electrode potential. A computer-based measurement system could improve accuracy and precision because of both consistent control of sample preparation and easy calibration of sensors. Our goal was to investigate the applicability of a cobalt-based electrode used in conjunction with a laboratory-made automated test stand for quantitative determination of ${PO_4}^-$ in hydroponic solution. Six hydroponic solutions were prepared by diluting highly concentrated paprika hydroponicsolution to provide a concentration range of 1 to 300 ppm $PO_4$-P. A calibration curve relating electrode response to phosphate in paprika hydroponic solution titrated to pH 4 with 0.025M KHP was developed based on the Nikolskii-Eisenman equation with a coefficient of determination ($R^2$) of 0.94. The laboratory-made test stand consisting of three cobalt-based electrodes measured phosphate concentrations similar to those obtained with standard laboratory methods (a regression slope of 0.98 with $R^2$ = 0.80). However, the y intercept was relatively high, 30 ppm, probably due to the relatively large amount of variation present among multiple measurements of the same sample. Further studies on the high variation in EMFs obtained with cobalt electrodes during replicate measurements were required for P estimations comparable to those obtained with standard laboratory instruments.

미성숙 사과를 70% ethanol 추출물에 대해 n-hexane, EtOAc 및 n-BuOH로 순차 용매 분획하였고, 얻어진 결과물에 대하여 DPPH 및 $ABTS^+$ radical 소거능 및 tyrosinase 저해활성을 평가하였다. DPPH 라디칼 소거능은 페놀성 화합물의 함량이 상대적으로 높은 EtOAc 가용부의 $IC_{50}$값은 $51.2{\pm}1.9{\mu}g/mL$으로 상대적으로 가장 우수한 활성을 확인 하였으며, 미성숙 사과 알콜 추출물에 존재하는 페놀성 화합물이 라디칼 소거능과의 연관성을 시사하였다. 또한 $ABTS^+$ 라디칼 소거능은 EtOAc층의 $IC_{50}$값은 $28.3{\pm}1.5{\mu}g/mL$의 소거 활성이 확인 되었고, 강한 활성물질의 존재가 시사되었다. 또한, tyrosinase 저해활성을 측정한 결과, 상대적으로 우수한 DPPH 및 $ABTS^+$ 라디칼 소거능을 나타낸 EtOAc 층의 $IC_{50}$은 $101.2{\pm}1.7mg/mL$의 저해 활성을 나타내었으며 이는 대조군인 kojic acid의 $IC_{50}$값인 $57.2{\pm}2.1{\mu}g/mL$에 비해 약하나 단일물질로 정제할 경우 더욱 강한 효능의 화합물이 존재할 가능성이 있음을 시사하였다. 향후 이들 활성물질 동정을 통한 활성 기작에 대한 연구가 필요하며 본 연구결과는 보다 우수한 라디칼 소거능 및 tyrosinase 저해능을 가지는 새로운 선도화합물 발굴을 위한 기초자료로 활용가능하리라 사료된다.

Statement of problem : Problem of matching the appearance of porcelain restorations with the patient's natural dentition has always been a concern to dental clinicians. Recently, demands for esthetics, even in restorations requiring strength, has brought a revolution to dentistry and increased use of zirconia. Among the various factors, shade and translucency or the core can significantly affect the overall esthetics of the restoration and should be considered when selecting an all-ceramic system. Purpose : The purpose of this study was to spectrophotometrically evaluate the influence of different zirconia systems and core thickness on the final shade of all-ceramic restorations using the CIEL$^*a^*b^*$ system. Material and Methods: Core specimens (n : 20 per group) of In-Ceram Alumina, In-Ceram Zirconia, Digident CAD/CAM Zirconia, Cercon Zirconia were fabricated 20mm in diameter. 10 specimens of each group were fabricated at core thickness of 0.5mm and 0.7mm. These core specimens were veneered with shade Al & A3 porcelain of the recommended manufacturer. CIEL$^*a^*b^*$ coordinates were recorded for each specimen with a spectrophotometer (Model CM-2600d, Minolta, Japan). Color differences were calculated using the equation ${\Delta}E^*=[({\Delta}L^*)^2+({\Delta}a^*)^2+({\Delta}b^*)^2]^{\frac{1}{2}}$. Results : 1. Specimens of core thickness 0.5mm and 0.7mm did not exhibit clinically perceived color difference. 2. Regarding shade reproducibility, In-Ceram Alumina and In-Ceram Zirconia showed significant difference within each group. 3. Cercon Zirconia group showed the highest $L^*$ value and Digident Zirconia group showed lowest $a^*$ & $b^*$ value. 4. Generally the shade difference between materials was higher in the A3 shade group than in the Al shade group. Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, there was no color difference after increase in core thickness and every all-ceramic system has color characteristics that clinicians have to consider when selecting materials. Also, manufacturers of different porcelain systems must make every effort to achieve color reproducibility.

해당화의 항산화 활성 및 ascorbic acid(vitamin C)와 ${\beta}-carotene$ (provitamin A)의 부위별 및 채취시기별 함량분포를 조사하였다. 항산화활성에서는 뿌리 $(RC_{50}\;=\;0.5{\mu}g/ml$이하)와 줄기 $(RC_{50}\;=\;0.5{\mu}g/ml)$부분이 특히 강하였으며 부위별로 보면 뿌리, 줄기, 잎, 열매 순으로 나타났고, 부위별 ascorbic acid함량분포를 보면 해당화는 잎, 열매, 줄기, 뿌리 순으로 감소하였으며 특히 11월에 채취한 시료의 경우 잎에 가장 높은 함량을 나타내었다. 이는 열매의 함량을 기준으로 할 때 해당화는 약 4.2배로 매우 높은 함량임을 알 수 있다. 해당화는 11월에 채취한 것이 9월에 채취한 것보다 약 $1.59\;{\sim}\;1.77$배 높은 함량을 보였으며, 부위별 ${\beta}-carotene$의 함량분포를 보면 해당화는 열매, 잎 순으로 함량이 낮아짐을 알 수 있으며, 11월에 채취한 해당화 열매의 f-carotene 함량이 높았고, 줄기와 뿌리에서는 ${\beta}-carotene$이 확인되지 않았으나 ether extract량으로 볼 때 carotene 이외의 성분의 존재를 예측할 수 있었다. 잎의 ${\beta}-carotene$ 함량은 해당화의 경우는 9월에 채취한 것이 11월에 채취 한 것보다 약간 높았다. 이상의 실험 결과로 볼 때 해당화에는 ${\beta}-carotene$이나 비타민 C 같은 항산화 비타민을 많이 함유하고 있어 앞으로 이를 이용한 기능성 식품 개발이 기대되어진다.

In this study, an approx. 2.5-kb gene fragment including the catalase gene from Rhodospirillum rubrum S1 was cloned and characterized. The determination of the complete nucleotide sequence revealed that the cloned DNA fragment was organized into three open reading frames, designated as ORF1, catalase, and ORF3 in that order. The catalase gene consisted of 1,455 nucleotides and 484 amino acids, including the initiation and stop codons, and was located 326 bp upstream in the opposite direction of ORF1. The catalase was overproduced in Escherichia coli UM255, a catalase-deficient mutant, and then purified for the biochemical characterization of the enzyme. The purified catalase had an estimated molecular mass of 189 kDa, consisting of four identical subunits of 61 kDa. The enzyme exhibited activity over a broad pH range from pH 5.0 to pH 11.0 and temperature range from $20^{\circ}C$ to $60^{\circ}C$C. The catalase activity was inhibited by 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole, cyanide, azide, and hydroxylamine. The enzyme's $K_m$ value and $V_{max}$ of the catalase for $H_2O_2$ were 21.8 mM and 39,960 U/mg, respectively. Spectrophotometric analysis revealed that the ratio of $A_{406}$ to $A_{280}$ for the catalase was 0.97, indicating the presence of a ferric component. The absorption spectrum of catalase-4 exhibited a Soret band at 406 nm, which is typical of a heme-containing catalase. Treatment of the enzyme with dithionite did not alter the spectral shape and revealed no peroxidase activity. The combined results of the gene sequence and biochemical characterization proved that the catalase cloned from strain S1 in this study was a typical monofunctional catalase, which differed from the other types of catalases found in strain S1.
