Hyaluronic acid from Liparis tessellatus eggs (HALTE) was grafted with caffeic acid (CA-g-HALTE), ferulic acid (FA-g-HALTE), gallic acid (GA-g-HALTE), and nisin (Nisin-g-HALTE) and investigated for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant potential in lipopolysaccharides-stimulated RAW 264.7 mouse macrophages. Nitric oxide (NO) generation and prostaglandin E₂ activity were measured after treatment with the grafted HALTE samples. All grafted HALTE samples exhibited more antioxidant activity against 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radicals than 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl radicals. Nisin-g-HALTE showed the least antioxidant activity. Additionally, the NO assay results showed that all grafted samples had no cytotoxic effect on RAW 264.7 macrophages and reduced macrophage activity after treatment. The most effective concentrations of CA-g-HALTE and FA-g-HALTE were found to be above 100 ㎍/mL. Increased sample concentration resulted in increased activity except with Nisin-gHALTE at 100 ㎍/mL. CA-g-HALTE, FA-g-HALTE, GA-g-HALTE, and Nisin-g-HALTE were found to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential, which can be further explored for use in food, cosmetic, nutraceutical, and biomedical applications.

실크 피브로인의 가수분해를 통해 생산된 펩타이드 성분에 의해 murine macrophage RAW264.7 세포에 의한 nitric oxide 생성이 촉진됨을 발견하였다. 산 및 효소적 가수분해물의 가수분해도를 비교한 결과 실크 피브로인 단백질은 산 가수분해에 의해 가장 효과적으로 분해되었으며 효소적 가수분해의 경우에는 pepsin, trypsin, Alcalase의 순으로 가수분해도가 높았다. 산 가수분해물을 단독으로 macrophage에 처리하였을 때 처리농도에 따라 NO 생성촉진활성이 높아졌으나 이 활성은 가수분해물 내의 펩타이드 성분들과 오염되어 혼재하는 LPS 성분의 상호작용에 의한 것임이 확인되었다. 함유된 LPS 성분들을 한외여과에 의해 제거한 효소적 가수분해물들의 NO 생성촉진활성은 peptic hydrolysate가 가장 높았고 tryptic-, Alcalase hydrolysate 순이었다. 이러한 활성의 차이는 가수분해물 내의 고분자량 펩타이드 분포가 많을수록 활성이 높다는 관계에 기인하였으나 산 가수분해물의 경우에는 예외적으로 나타났다. 각 가수분해물의 아미노산 조성을 분석한 결과 arginine, lysine의 함량이 높을수록 활성이 높으며 alanine의 glycine에 대한 비율이 커질수록 활성이 높아졌다. 산 가수분해물의 경우에는 낮은 분자량의 펩타이드들이 많이 분포하지만 arginine 및 alanine의 함량이 높아 비교적 높은 NO 생성 촉진활성을 나타내는 것으로 확인되었다.

본 연구에서는 원시 활성탄에 질산을 이용한 산 처리 또는 LiOH를 첨착한 후, 이에 대한 이산화탄소의 흡착 특성을 수분의 공존 유, 무 상태에서 고정층 파과 실험을 통해 평가하였다. 질산 처리 및 LiOH 첨착에 따른 활성탄의 표면 성상 및 물리, 화학적 특성은 SEM, EDS, 질소 흡착, FTIR, XRD를 이용하여 고찰하였다. 질산 처리로 인해 원시 활성탄의 비표면적은 감소하였지만 활성탄 표면에서 산소 함량은 증가하였으며, 질산의 산화 반응으로 활성탄 표면에 탄소 및 산소 외에 질소를 포함한 새로운 관능기가 생성되었다. LiOH 첨착으로 인한 비표면적의 감소 폭은 질산 처리한 활성탄이 원시 활성탄에 비해 작게 나타났다. LiOH를 2 wt% 이상으로 첨착하면 상당 부분의 LiOH가 활성탄 세공 내부에 들어가지 못하고 외부 표면에 존재하였다. 고정층 파과 실험을 통해 질산 처리 및 LiOH 첨착량 증가에 따라 활성탄의 이산화탄소 흡착 성능은 향상되었다. 또한 공급가스 내에 수분이 공존함에 따라 이산화탄소 흡착량이 증가하였다. LiOH가 첨착된 활성탄에서 이산화탄소 흡착 후 LiOH는 화학반응에 의해 $Li_2CO_3$로 전환함을 확인하였다.

The quality standards of solid refuse fuel (SRF) define the values for 12 physico-chemical properties, including moisture, lower heating value, and metal compounds, according to Article 20 of the Enforcement Rules of the Act on Resource Saving and Recycling Promotion. These parameters are evaluated via various SRF Quality Test Methods, but problems related to the heavy metal content have been observed in the microwave acid digestion method. Therefore, these methods and their applicability need improvement. In this study, the appropriate testing conditions were derived by varying the parameters of microwave acid digestion, such as microwave power and pre-treatment time. The pre-treatment of SRF as a function of the microwave power revealed an incomplete decomposition of the sample at 600 W, and the heavy metal content analysis was difficult to perform under 9 mL of nitric acid and 3 mL of hydrochloric acid. The experiments with the reference materials under nitric acid at 600 W lasted 30 minutes, and 1,000 W for 20 or 30 minutes were considered optimal conditions. The results confirmed that a mixture of SRF and an acid would take about 20 minutes to reach $180^{\circ}C$, requiring at least 30 minutes of pre-treatment. The accuracy was within 30% of the standard deviation, with a precision of 70 ~ 130% of the heavy metal recovery rate. By applying these conditions to SRF, the results for each condition were not significantly different and the heavy metal standards for As, Pb, Cd, and Cr were satisfied.

The present paper deals with the liquid-liquid extraction and flat sheet supported liquid membrane studies of Pd(II) separation from nitric acid medium using a novel synthesized ligand, namely, N,N,N',N'-tetraethyl-2,2-thiodiethanthiodiglycolamide (TETEDGA). The effect of various diluents and stripping reagents on the extraction of Pd(II) was studied. The liquid-liquid extraction studies showed complete extraction of Pd(II) in ~ 5 min. The influence of nitric acid and TETEDGA concentration on the distribution of Pd(II) has been investigated. The increase in nitric acid concentration resulted in increase in extraction of Pd(II). Stoichiometry of the extracted species was found to be $Pd(NO_3)_2{\cdot}TETEDGA$ by slope analysis method. Extraction studies with SSCD solution showed negligible uptake of Pt, Cr, Ni, and Fe, thus showing very high selectivity and extractability of TETEDGA for Pd(II). The flat sheet supported liquid membrane studies showed quantitative transport of Pd(II), ~99%, from the feed ($3M\;HNO_3$) to the strippant (0.02 M thiourea diluted in $0.4M\;HNO_3$) using 0.01 M TETEDGA as a carrier diluted in n-dodecane. Extraction time was ~160 min. Parameters such as feed acidity, TETEDGA concentration in membrane phase, membrane porosity etc. were optimized to achieve maximum transport rate. Permeability coefficient value of $2.66{\times}10^{-3}cm/s$ was observed using TETEDGA (0.01 M) as carrier, at 3 M, $HNO_3$ feed acidity across $0.2{\mu}m$ PTFE as membrane. The membrane was found to be stable over five runs of the operation.

In 2014, the first demineralization plant, using nanofiltration (NF) membrane coupled with renewable energies was realized at Al Annouar high school of Sidi Taibi, Kenitra, Morocco. This project has revealed difficulties related to the membrane performances loss (pressure increase, flux decline, poor water quality of the produced water and increase of energy consumption), as consequences of membrane fouling. To solve this problem, an autopsy of the membrane was done in order to determine the nature and origin of the fouling. The samples of membrane and fouling were then analyzed by scanning electron microscopy using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) connected with an energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) detection system and X-ray diffractometer (XRD). Moreover, three cleaning solutions (hydrochloric acid, nitric acid and sulfuric acid) were tested and assessed in a single cleaning step to find the suitable one for the fouled membrane to regain its initial permeability and performances. The analysis of the experimental results showed that the fouling layer is mainly composed of calcium carbonate (inorganic fouling). Results showed also that the permeability is improved by the hydrochloric acid cleaning (pH=3) with a cleaning efficiency of 93%. Cleaning efficiency did not exceed 75 % with nitric acid (pH=3) and 40 % with sulfuric acid (pH=3).

The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory protective effects of $\beta$-glucan from barley on RAW 264.7 murine macrophage cells induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were examined. The RAW 264.7 murine macrophages were preincubated with various concentrations ($0-200\;{\mu}g/mL$) of $\beta$-glucan and stimulated with LPS to induce oxidative stress and inflammation. The $\beta$-glucan treatments were found to reduce thiobarbituric acid-reactive substance (TBARS) accumulation, and enhance glutathione levels and the activities of antioxidative enzymes, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, glutathione reductase, and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-px) in the LPS-stimulated macrophages as compared to the LPS-only treated cells. Nitric oxide (NO) production was significantly suppressed in a dose-dependent manner (p<0.05) with an $IC_{50}$ of $104\;{\mu}g/mL$. Further treatment with $\beta$-glucan at $200\;{\mu}g/mL$ suppressed NO production to 2% of the LPS-control, and suppressed the levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) protein and mRNA in a dose-dependent manner. The specific DNA binding activity of nuclear factor ${\kappa}B\;(NF{\kappa}B)$ was significantly suppressed by $\beta$-glucan treatment with an $IC_{50}$ of $220\;{\mu}g/mL$ in a dose-dependent manner. Finally, barley $\beta$-glucan ameliorates NO production and iNOS expression through the down-regulation of $NF{\kappa}B$ activity, which may be mediated by attenuated oxidative stress in RAW 264.7 macrophages.
