Fe-based pigments have attracted much interest owing to their eco-friendliness. In particular, the color of nanosized pigments can be tuned by controlling their size and morphology. This study reports on the effect of length on the coloration of ${\beta}$-FeOOH pigments prepared using an $NH_4OH$ solution. First, rod-type ${\beta}$-FeOOH is prepared by the hydrolysis of $FeCl_3{\cdot}6H_2O$ and $NH_4OH$. When the amount of $NH_4OH$ is increased, the length of the rods decreases. Thus, the length of the nanorods can be adjusted from 10 nm to 300 nm. The color of ${\beta}$-FeOOH changes from orangered to yellow depending on the length of ${\beta}$-FeOOH. The color and phase structure of ${\beta}$-FeOOH is characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy, CIE Lab color parameter measurements, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD).

Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are a diverse family of homo- or heteropentameric ligand-gated ion channels. Understanding the physiological role of each nAChR subtype and the key residues responsible for normal and pathological states is important. ${\alpha}$-Conotoxin neuropeptides are highly selective probes capable of discriminating different subtypes of nAChRs. In this study, we performed homology modeling to generate the neuronal ${\alpha}3$, ${\beta}2$ and ${\beta}4$ subunits using the x-ray structure of the ${\alpha}1$ subunit as a template. The structures of the extracellular domains containing ligand binding sites in the ${\alpha}3{\beta}2$ and ${\alpha}3{\beta}4$ nAChR subtypes were constructed using MD simulations and ligand docking processes in their free and ligand-bound states using ${\alpha}$-conotoxin GIC, which exhibited the highest ${\alpha}3{\beta}2$ vs. ${\alpha}3{\beta}4$ discrimination ratio. The results provide a reasonable structural basis for such a discriminatory ability, supporting the idea that the present strategy can be used for future investigations on nAChR-ligand complexes.

Objectives The object of this study was to assess the effect of Gyejibokryunghwan (GBH) on anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activities in RAW 264.7 cells and on factors associated with fracture union in tibia-fractured rats. Methods The 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity was measured to assess anti-oxidant activity. The production of nitric oxide (NO), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-$1{\beta}$ ($IL-1{\beta}$) and tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ ($TNF-{\alpha}$) in the RAW 264.7 cells were measured to assess anti-inflammatory activity. The production of osteocalcin, calcitonin, carboxy-terminal telepeptides of type II collagen (CTXII), transforming growth factor-${\beta}$ ($TGF-{\beta}$), bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) in serum of tibia-fractured rats were measured to assess the effects of fracture union. X-rays were taken every two weeks from 0 to 4th week to assess fracture union effect. Results DPPH radical scavenging activity of GBH was increased according to concentration of GBH in RAW 264.7 cell. NO, prostaglandin $E_2$ ($PGE_2$), IL-6, $IL-1{\beta}$ and $TNF-{\alpha}$ were significantly decreased, indicating anti-inflammatory effect. Osteocalcin, calcitonin, $TGF-{\beta}$ were significantly increased in the experimental groups. CTXII was significantly decreased in the experimental groups. BMP-2 was not significantly changed in the experimental groups. The X-ray showed that the experimental group has better healing effects on tibia-fractured rats than control group. Conclusions From above result, GBH has an effect on anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory activities in RAW 264.7 cells. GBH showed significant results in factors related with fracture union and radiologic examination. In conclusion, GBH can help fracture union and it well be expected to be used actively in clinics.

고순도의 $\beta-Ga_{2}O_{3}$ 나노로드(nanorods)가 니켈산화물 나노입자를 촉매로 사용하고 갈륨금속분말을 원료물질로 이용하여 화학기상증착법으로 합성되었다. 전계방출형 주사전자현미경을 이용하여 $\beta-Ga_{2}O_{3}$ 나노로드를 관찰한 결과, 평균직경은 약 160 nm 그리고 평균길이는 $4{\mu}m$였으며 vaporsolid(VS) 성장기구를 통하여 성장되었음을 알 수 있었다. X-선 회절시험과 고분해능 투과전자 현미경을 이용한 결정구조 분석 결과, 합성된 나노로드의 내부는 단사정계 결정구조를 가지는 단결정의 $\beta-Ga_{2}O_{3}$로 이루어져 있고 외벽은 비정질 갈륨옥사이드로 이루어진 코어-셀 구조로 구성되어 있는 것을 확인하였다. 합성된 $\beta-Ga_{2}O_{3}$ 나노로드를 음극 활물질로 사용하여 전극을 제조하고 전기화학적 특성을 분석한 결과, 리튬/$\beta-Ga_{2}O_{3}$ 나노로드 전지는 첫 방전 시 867 mAh/g-$\beta-Ga_{2}O_{3}$의 높은 용량을 나타내었으나 초기 비가역 용량으로 인해 62%의 낮은 충 방전 효율을 나타내었다. 그러나 5 사이클 이후 높은 충 방전 효율을 보이며 30 사이클까지 안정된 사이클 특성을 나타내었다.

The structure of alclofenac was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The compound was recrystallized from chloroform solution in monoclinic system space group $C_{2}$/c, with Z = 8, a = 8, a = 23.349(9), b =14.295 (3), c = 7.192 (2) $\AA$, $\beta$ = 111.32 (3)$^{\circ}$, and $d_{dbs}$ = 1.29, $d_{caic}$ = 1.30. The structure was solved by direct method and refined by least-squares procedure to the final R-value being 0.044 for 1055 reflections (F ${\geq}6${\sigma}$(F)). The molecules are dimerized by OH..O type hydrogen bonds related by two-fold axis.

We observed initial rusting process of steel containing Al under wet/dry cyclic condition with NaCl solution film using in situ X-ray diffraction spectroscopy at SPring-8 synchrotron radiation facility. It was found that mass fraction of iron oxides such as ${\alpha}-FeOOH$, ${\beta}-FeOOH$ and ${\gamma}-FeOOH$ varied with Al content. Some kinds of Al oxides were also found at the initial stage of corrosion. Those corrosion products might affect the corrosion process and corrosion rate of the steel.

Radiation synovectomy is an useful alternative treatment to rheumatoid arthritis and Re$\^$188/ is suggested as an ideal radiopharmaceutical agents because beta ray (2.1 MeV) emitted from Re$\^$188/ is appropriate for synovial cell ablation and gamma ray (155 KeV) is ideal for dosimetry. Its' ideal particle size (2-5 mm) was achieved by conjugation with tin-colloid, In this study, we investigated the toxicity, stability and biodistribution to evaluate the suitability of DA-7911 as a synovectomy agent.
