More attention has been paid to the research on decolorization of dyeing wastewater nowadays. In this study, an investigation into the decolorization of dyeing wastewater was conducted using a combination of coagulant, carboxymethyl chitosan (NOCC) and coagulant aid, polyscrylamide (PAM). The factors influencing the decolorization efficiency, such as pH value, coagulant and the dosages of coagulant, were discussed. The results showed that using PAM as coagulant aid could reach a high decolorization efficiency compared with using NOCC alone. The optimal conditions were pH 2.3, 480 mg/L for NOCC, and 4-8 mg/L for PAM. Under the optimum conditions, the rate of decolorization could achieve 99%, and the removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD) could achieve 90%. In addition, the membrane processes with chitosan/rare-earth-metals could enhance the decolorization rate of Direct Black FF to 94.7%, and Indanthren Red F3B to 98.2%, respectively.

Chitosan, an unbranched (1-4)-linked-2-amino-2-deoxy-$\beta$-D-glucan, is prepared by chemical N-deacetylation of chitin, which is the main structure element of the cuticles of crab, shrimp, and insects, and is found in the cell walls of bacteria. It has the same main chain in its molecule like that of natural heparin. Heparin, an anionic polysaccharide, is the best of anticoagulants that have been found so far. In this study, to improve the blood compatibility of chitosan, 2-(methacrylovloxy)-ethyl-2-(trimethylammonium)ethyl phosphate(MTP) with phospholipid polar groups was grafted on the chitosan membranes and the biochemical properties the MTP-grafted chitosan membranes were investigated.

A novel O-diethylaminoethyl chitosan (DEAE-chitosan) was synthesized via Schiff's reaction between chitosan and benzaldehyde. $C_2$ amino group was protected via Schiffs base reaction with benzaldehyde to form N-benzylidene chitosan. After reaction with diethylaminoethyl chloride, Schiffs base was removed by reacting O-diethylaminothyl-N-benzylidene chitosan and hydrochloric acid. Tensile strength of DEAE-chitosan was improved due to the incorporation of bulky side group in $C_6$ position of chitosan. DEAE-chitosan showed a pH-dependent swelling characteristics. Release rate of riboflavin was dependent on the water content of DEAE-chitosan that is a function of crosslinking degrees.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of guided tissue regeneration(GTR) technique using chitosan nanofiber membrane and to compare it to the clinical efficacy following GTR using PLA/PLGA(copolymer of polvlactic acid and polylacticglycolic acid) membrane in mandibular class II furcation defects in human. The chitosan nanofiber membranes were applied to the mandibular class II furcation defects of 13 patients(test group) and PLA/PLGA membranes were applied to those of 11 patients(control group). Probing pocket depth, clinical attachment level, gingival recession, plaque index and gingival index were measured at baseline and 3 months postoperatively. Vertical and horizontal furcation defect depth were measured at surgery. Both groups were statistically analyzed by Wilcoxon signed Ranks Test and Mann-Whitney Test using SPSS program. The results were as follows: 1. Probing pocket depth, clinical attachment loss and gingival index were significantly reduced at 3 months postoperatively compared to values of baseline in both groups(p<0.05). 2. Gingival recession and plaque index were not significantly decreased at 3 months postoperatively compared to values of baseline in both groups. 3. No significant difference between two groups could be detected with regard to changes of probing pocket depth, gingival recession, clinical attachment level, plaque index and gingival index at 3 months postoperatively. In conclusion, chitosan nanofiber membrane is effective in the treatment of human mandibular class II furcation defects and a longer period study is needed to fully evaluate the outcomes.

Novel chitosan (CS) based membrane networks were developed by solution casting and followed by crosslinking with different crosslinkers such as glutaraldehyde, urea-formaldehyde, and thiourea-formaldehyde. The developed membrane networks were designated as CS-GA, CS-UF and CS-TF. Crosslinking reaction of CS membranes was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Membrane rigidity and compactness were studied by the differential scanning calorimetry. The surface morphology of CS membranes was characterized by scanning electron microscopy. The sorption behaviour with respect to contact time, initial pH and initial metal ion concentration were investigated. The maximum adsorption capacity of CS-GA, CS-UF and CS-TF sorbents was found to be 1.03, 1.2 and 1.18 mM/g for $Cu^{2+}$ and 1.48, 1.55 and 2.18 mM/g for $Ni^{2+}$ respectively. Swelling experiments have been performed on the membrane networks at $30^{\circ}C$. Desorption studies were performed in acid media and EDTA and it was found that the membranes are reusable for the metal ion removal for three cycles. The developed membranes could be successfully used for the separation of $Cu^{2+}$ and $Ni^{2+}$ metal ions from aqueous solutions.

Chitosan oligosaccharides (COSs) were prepared and fractionated into three groups of COS [a high molecular weight COS (HMWCOS), medium molecular weight COS (LMWCOS), and low molecular weight COS (LMWCOS)] according to their molecular weight, using an ultrafiltration membrane enzymatic bioreactor designed earlier [8]. Antitumor activity of these COSs was then examined against Sarcoma 180 solid (S180) or Uterine cervix carcinoma No. 14 (Ul4) tumor cell-bearing mice. Among these COSs, MMWCOS with molecular weight range from 1.5 to 5.5 kDa effectively inhibited the growth of both tumor cells in the mice. In addition, the administration of MMWCOS resulted in increased thymus weight among lymphoid organs. The mice treated with MMWCOS showed improved survival rate and larger number of survivors after 40 days of feeding. The most effective of MMWCOS far antitumor activity in the S180- or U14-bearing mice was 20 mg/kg/day or more.

The applicability of the ultrafiltration process for color removal from dye-containing water has been examined in this study. The optimization of major process variables, such as dye concentration, chitosan concentration and transmembrane pressure on permeate flux and color removal efficiency was investigated. To find the most appropriate results for the experiment, the Box-Wilson experimental design method was employed. The results were correlated by a response function and the coefficients were determined by regression analysis. Permeate flux variation and color removal efficiency determined from the response functions were in good agreement with the experimental results. The optimum conditions of chitosan concentration, dye concentration and pressure were 50 mg/l, 50 mg/l and 3 bars, respectively for the highest permeate flux. On the other hand, optimum conditions for color removal efficiency were determined as 50 mg/l of dye concentration, 50 mg/l of chitosan concentration and 1 bar of pressure.

해양 다당류인 chitosan과 alginate를 이용해서 캡슐을 제조할 수 있었으며 그 성상을 물고기 알과 같은 형태 즉 인조어란의 성상으로 만들 수 있었다. 캡슐의 크기는 공기 사출기의 유속에 의해 1~5mm로 조절할 수 있었다. 캡슐의 기계적 강도는 chitosan요액의 pH와 이온의 농도에 의해 조절할 수 있었으며 원하는 어란의 기계적 강도를 가진 인조캡슐을 제조할 수 있었다. 이러한 인조어란 대체품의 제조이외에도 타분야인 의약, 산업 및 식품 분야에 이용이 가능한 캡슐로 이용 될 것이다.

Deacetylated chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) had effective antiprotozoal activity against Trichomonas vaginalis (Minimal Inhibitory Concentration, MIC 0.25%), whereas 80% acetylated cas showed no antiprotozoal activity (MIC > 1 %). an the other hand, 80% acetylated cas showed growth stimulatory activity against the protozoa. When T. vaginalis was treated with 98% deacetylated COS at 0.25% concentration, the viability of the protozoa was rapidly decreased within 15 min, and the protozoa completely died within 40 min. Ultrastructural changes of trichomonads treated with COS included a loss of defined nuclear membrane and endoplasmic reticulum membranes, an increase in the number of free ribosome, vacuolation, and ultimately lysis of the cell membrane. These results indicate that deacetylated COS can be used as an antitrichomonal agent, although its lethal mechanism is not known.

글루탈알데히드와 황산을 이용하여 가교된 키토산 복합막을 제조하였다. 제조된 복합막은 글루탈알데히드와 황산용액을 이용하여 표면말을 선택적으로 가교하엿다. 제조된 키토산 막에서의 키토산과 아세트산간의 착체형성의 영향을 관찰하기 위하여 수산화나트륨으로 중화하여 성능을 비교하였다. 황산으로 표면을 가교한 경우 코팅된 활성층의 투과증발에 대한 영향을 관찰하였다. 글루탈알데히드로 가교된 키토산복합막은 지지체의 종류를 변화시키면서 투과증발성능을 비교하였다. 지지체의 순수투과성능이 증가할수록 투과유량은 비슷한 값들을 유지하였으며, 선택도는 증가하다가 다시 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 수산화나트륨으로 키토산을 중화시킨 경우에는 선택도는 감소하였고 투과유량은 유지되는 경향을 나타내었다. 황산을 이용하여 표면을 이온가교시킨 경우 키토산 복합막은 활성충우ㅏ 두께가 증가할수록 가교시간이 증가하여야 최적의 가교조건을 나타내었다.
