  • This study was composed of four treatments [no treatment, phosphate + limestone layer treatment, phosphate + sodium bicarbonate + cement layer treatment, and phosphate + sodium bicarbonate + limestone layer treatment] for figuring out vegetation effects on the acid drainage slope. Treated acid neutralizing techniques were effective for neutralizing acidity and vegetative growth in order of [first: phosphate + sodium bicarbonate + limestone layer treatment, second: phosphate + sodium bicarbonate+cement layer treatment, third: phosphate + limestone layer treatment and fourth: no treatment] on the acid drainage slope. We found out that sodium bicarbonate treatment was additory effect on neutralizing acidity and increasing vegetaive growth besides phosphate and neutralizing layer treatments. In neutralizing layer treatments, Limestone layer was more effective for vegetation and acidity compared to cement layer treatment. Cement layer showed negative initial vegetative growth probably due to high soil hardness and toxicity in spite of acid neutralizing effect. Concerning plants growth characteristics, The surface coverage rates of herbaceous plants, namely as Lotus corniculatus var. japonicus and Coreopsis drummondii L were high in the phosphate + sodium bicarbonate + limestone layer treatment while Festuca arundinacea was high in the phosphate + sodium bicarbonate + cement layer treatment. We also figured out that soil acidity affected more on root than top vegetative growth.

  • The experiments were performed to determine whether the cardiac depressant action of lidocaine is directly associated with the utilization of endogenous substrates in isolated rat atria, by using citrate and bicarbonate-free medium known as potent inhibitors of phosphofructokinases (PFK) enzyme step. Citrate and bicarbonate-free medium produced negative inotropic action of isolated rat atria incubated in normal Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate glucose medium. Pyruvate and acetate increased the force of contraction of atria depressed by citrate or bicarbonate-free medium, whereas fructose was without effect indicating the inhibitory effect of citrate and bicarbonate-free medium at some point in the glycolytic pathway such as the PFK step in atria. In the absence of exogenous substrate, citrate and bicarbonate-free medium produced a marked depression of the force of substrate-depleted atria indicating that utilization of endogenous substrate above the PFK step, probably cardiac glycogen, is also impaired by citrate or bicarbonate-free medium. Lidocaine produced further depression of the contractile force of atria depressed by citrate. These results argue strongly for an additional mechanism of cardiac depression caused by lidocaine involving the sites below the PFK.

  • This study investigated the effects of tangsuyuk batter ingredients on sensory. The optimal condition was evaluated by using RSM(response surface methodology). Five ingredients(wheat flour, corn starch, sodium bicarbonate, alum, water) were used as independent variables, coding 36 experimental trials. The resulting sensory scores(flavor, fracture, color, overall acceptability) were used as dependent variables. Each dependent variable showed significant differences(p<0.05). When the amount of sodium bicarbonate was increased, the sensory scores for flavor and fracture also increased. Sensory scores for color also increased when the amount of sodium bicarbonate was increased and the amount of alum decreased. Overall acceptability scored higher when the amount of sodium bicarbonate was increased. This is therefore indicates that sodium bicarbonate is likely a very important ingredient in the batter. The effects of each ingredient on sensory were thus investigated. The optimum ratios of wheat flour, corn starch, sodium bicarbonate, alum and water were predicted to be 27.55%, 19.34%, 0.27%, 0.19% and 52.65% respectively.

  • Bicarbonate has been considered as a better approach for supplying CO2 to microalgae cells microenvironments than gas bubbling owing to cost-effectiveness and easy operation. However, the β-carotene production was too low in Dunaliella salina cultivated with bicarbonate in previous studies. Also, the difference in photosynthetic efficiency between these two carbon sources (bicarbonate and CO2) has seldom been discussed. In this study, the culture conditions, including NaHCO3, Ca2+, Mg2+ and microelement concentrations, were optimized when bicarbonate was used as carbon source. Under optimized condition, a maximum biomass concentration of 0.71 g/l and corresponding β-carotene content of 4.76% were obtained, with β-carotene yield of 32.0 mg/l, much higher than previous studies with NaHCO3. Finally, these optimized conditions with bicarbonate were compared with CO2 bubbling by online monitoring. There was a notable difference in Fv/Fm value between cultivations with bicarbonate and CO2, but there was no difference in the Fv/Fm periodic changing patterns. This indicates that the high concentration of NaHCO3 used in this study served as a stress factor for β-carotene accumulation, although high productivity of biomass was still obtained.

  • Metabolic acidosis is commonly encountered issues in the management of critically ill neonates and especially of preterm infants during early neonatal days. In extremely premature infants, low glomerular filtration rate and immaturity of renal tubules to produce new bicarbonate causes renal bicarbonate loss. Higher intake of amino acids, relatively greater contribution of protein to the energy metabolism and mineralization process in growing bones are also responsible for higher acid load in premature infant than in adult. Despite widespread use of sodium bicarbonate in the management of severe metabolic acidosis, use of sodium bicarbonate in premature infants should be restricted to a reasonable but unproven exception such as ongoing renal loss. Despite concern about the low pH value (<7.2) which can compromise cellular metabolic function, no treatment guideline has been established regarding the management of metabolic acidosis in premature infants. Appropriately powered randomized controlled trials of base therapy to treat metabolic acidosis in critically ill newborn infants are demanding.

  • The use of the supernatant from a Bacillus subtilis culture mixed with sodium bicarbonate was explored as a means of controlling stem brown spot disease in dragon fruit plants. In in vitro experiments, the B. subtilis supernatant used with sodium bicarbonate showed a strong inhibition effect on the growth of the fungus, Neoscytalidium dimidiatum, the agent causing stem brown spot disease and was notably effective in preventing fungal invasion of dragon fruit plant. This combination not only directly suppressed the growth of N. dimidiatum, but also indirectly affected the development of the disease by eliciting the dragon-fruit plant's defense response. Substantial levels of the pathogenesis-related proteins, chitinase and glucanase, and the phenylpropanoid biosynthetic pathway enzymes, peroxidase and phenyl alanine ammonia-lyase, were triggered. Significant lignin deposition was also detected in treated cladodes of injured dragon fruit plants in in vivo experiments. In summary, B. subtilis supernatant combined with sodium bicarbonate protected dragon fruit plant loss through stem brown spot disease during plant development in the field through pathogenic fungal inhibition and the induction of defense response mechanisms.

  • Bicarbonate 완충용액에서 Co-RDE를 이용하여 RDE 회전속도와 완충용액 속의 염화이온이 Co의 부식과 부동화에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. Co-RDE의 회전속도가 부식에 미치는 영향은 Levich 식과 일치하였으며 부동화 막을 파괴하는데 염화이온의 효과가 큼을 알 수 있었다. 혼합 전위 이론을 사용하여 대류확산 조건에서 회전속도의 증가에 따라 부식전위가 양의 방향으로 증가하는 모형을 발견하였다. Tafel 영역에서 Co의 용해반응과 수소가 발생하는 환원반응은 전하이동과 물질이동을 이용하여 설명할 수 있었다.
