본 연구에서는 리튬이온배터리용 고용량 음극활물질인 실리콘의 부피팽창을 완화하고 사이클 안정성을 향상시키기 위해 SiOx@C 복합소재를 제조하였다. Stӧber 법을 통해 입자 크기가 각각 100, 200, 500 nm인 SiO₂를 합성하였고, 마그네슘 열환원을 통해 SiOx (0≤x≤2)를 제조하였다. 그 후 SiOx에 PVC를 탄화시켜 SiOx와 C의 비율에 따라 SiOx@C 음극활물질을 합성하였다. 제조된 SiOx와 SiOx@C 음극활물질의 물리적 특성은 XRD, SEM, TGA, 라만분광법, XPS, BET를 사용해 분석하였다. 그리고 사이클 테스트, 율속특성, CV, EIS 테스트를 통해 전기화학적 특성을 조사하였다. 입자 크기가 가장 작은 100 nm SiOx에 SiOx:C=70:30으로 탄소를 코팅하여 제조된 SiOx@C-7030은 100 사이클에서 1055 mAh/g의 방전용량과 81.9%의 용량을 유지하여 가장 우수한 전기화학적 특성을 보여주었다. 이는 SiOx 음극활물질 입자의 크기를 줄이고, 탄소를 코팅하여 사이클 안정성을 향상시킬 수 있다는 것을 의미한다.

Oxidized LDL (oxLDL) performs critical roles in atherosclerosis by inducing macrophage foam cell formation and promoting inflammation. There have been reports showing that oxLDL modulates macrophage cytoskeletal functions for oxLDL uptake and trapping, however, the precise mechanism has not been clearly elucidated. Our study examined the effect of oxLDL on non-muscle myosin heavy chain IIA (MHC-IIA) in macrophages. We demonstrated that oxLDL induces phosphorylation of MHC-IIA (Ser1917) in peritoneal macrophages from wild-type mice and THP-1, a human monocytic cell line, but not in macrophages deficient for CD36, a scavenger receptor for oxLDL. Protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor-treated macrophages did not undergo the oxLDL-induced MHC-IIA phosphorylation. Our immunoprecipitation revealed that oxLDL increased physical association between PKC and MHC-IIA, supporting the role of PKC in this process. We conclude that oxLDL via CD36 induces PKC-mediated MHC-IIA (Ser1917) phosphorylation and this may affect oxLDL-induced functions of macrophages involved in atherosclerosis.

In this study, we investigated that the resistance switching characteristics of W-doped NbOx films with increasing W doping concentration. The W-doped NbOx based ReRAM devices with a TiN/W-doped NbOx/Pt/Ti/SiO2 were fabricated on Si substrates. The 50 nm thick W-doped NbOx films were deposited by reactive dc magnetron co-sputtering at $400^{\circ}C$ and oxygen partial pressure of 35%. Micro-structure of W-doped NbOx films and atomic concentration were investigated by XRD, TEM and XPS, respectively. The W-doped NbOx films showed set/reset resistance switching behavior at various W doping concentrations. The process voltage of set/reset is decreased and whereas the initial current level is increased with increasing W doping concentration in NbOx films. The change of resistance switching behavior depending on doping concentration was discussed in terms of concentration of metallic tungsten of oxygen of W-doped NbOx.

In this study, we investigated that the resistance switching characteristics of Al-doped MgOx films with increasing Al doping concentration and increasing film thickness. The Al-doped MgOx based ReRAM devices with a TiN/Al-doped MgOx/Pt/Ti/SiO2 were fabricated on Si substrates. The 5 nm, 10 nm, and 15 nm thick Al-doped MgOx films were deposited by reactive dc magnetron co-sputtering at $300^{\circ}C$ and oxygen partial ratio of 60% (Ar: 16 sccm, O2: 24 sccm). Micro-structure of Al-doped MgOx films and atomic concentration were investigated by XRD and XPS, respectively. The Al-doped MgOx films showed set/reset resistance switching behavior at various Al doping concentrations. The process voltage of forming/set is decreased and whereas the initial current level is increased with decreasing thickness of Al-doped MgOx films. Besides, the initial current of Al-doped MgOx films is increased with increasing Al doping concentration in MgOx films. The change of resistance switching behavior depending on doping concentration was discussed in terms of concentration of non-lattice oxygen of Al-doped MgOx.

최근 고화질 및 대용량 영상의 등장으로 메모리 디바이스에 대한 연구가 활발하다. 메모리 디바이스의 oxide 층은 tunnel layer, trap layer와 blocking layer로 나누어지며, tunnel layer와 trap layer 사이 계면의 상태는 메모리 특성에 큰 영향을 준다. 한편, AlOx는 메모리 디바이스의 tunnel layer에 주로 적용되는 물질로서, AlOx를 형성하는 방법에는 진공공정을 이용하여 증착하는 방법과 알루미늄을 산화시켜 형성하는 방법이 있다. 그 중, 진공공정 방법인 RF 스퍼터를 이용하는 방법은 증착시 sputtering으로 인하여 표면에 손상을 주게 되어, 산화시켜 형성한 AlOx에 비해 막질이 좋지 않다는 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 우수한 막질의 메모리 디바이스를 제작하기 위하여 산화시켜 형성한 AlOx를 tunnel layer로 적용시킨 MOSCAP을 제작하여 메모리 특성을 평가하였다. 제작된 소자는 n-Si (1-20 ohm-cm) 기판을 사용하였다. Tunnel layer는 e-beam evaporator를 이용하여 Al을 5 nm 두께로 증착하고 퍼니스를 이용하여 O2 분위기에서 $300^{\circ}C$의 온도로 1시간 동안 산화시켜 AlOx을 형성하였으며, 비교군으로 RF 스퍼터를 이용하여 AlOx를 10 nm 두께로 증착한 소자를 같이 제작하였다. 순차적으로, trap layer와 blocking layer는 RF 스퍼터를 이용하여 각각 HfOx 30 nm와 SiOx 30 nm를 증착하였다. 마지막으로 전극 물질로는 Al을 e-beam evaporator를 이용하여 150 nm 두께로 증착하였다. 제작된 소자에서 메모리 측정을 한 결과, 같은 크기의 윈도우를 비교하였을 때 산화시킨 AlOx를 tunnel layer로 적용한 MOSCAP에서 더 적은 전압으로도 program 동작이 나타나는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 내구성을 확인하기 위해 program/erase를 103회 반복하여 endurance를 측정한 결과, 스퍼터로 증착한 AlOx를 적용한 MOSCAP에서는 24 %의 메모리 윈도우 감소가 일어난 반면에, 산화시킨 AlOx를 적용한 MOSCAP에서는 메모리 윈도우 감소가 5 % 미만으로 일어났다. 결과적으로 산화시킨 AlOx를 메모리소자의 tunnel layer로 적용한 MOSCAP에서 더 뛰어난 내구성을 나타냈으며, 추후 최적의 oxide 두께와 열처리 조건을 통해 더 뛰어난 메모리 특성을 가지는 메모리 디바이스 제작이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of the packaging method on the lipid and protein oxidation, and color in aged top round from Hanwoo (Korean native cattle) for 14 d at $4^{\circ}C$. Catalase activity was the highest (p<0.05) in vacuum packaging (VP) treatment during storage, and was higher (p<0.05) in 50% Ox-MAP and 50% Ox-MAP+vacuum skin packaging (VSP) treatments than in other treatments at d 14. Superoxide dismutase activity was higher (p<0.05) in VP, 50% Ox-MAP, and 50% Ox-MAP+VSP treatments than in other treatments at d 14. During storage, total antioxidant activity was the highest (p<0.05) in VP treatment and was higher (p<0.05) in 50% Ox-MAP+VSP treatment than in 80% Ox-MAP treatment. TBARS value was the lowest (p<0.05) in VP treatment during storage and was lower (p<0.05) in 50% Ox-MAP and Ox-MAP+VSP treatments than in 80% Ox-MAP and Ox-MAP treatments, respectively. Carbonyl content was the lowest (p<0.05) in VP treatment from 10 d. From 7 d, the $a^*$ value was the highest (p<0.05) in VP treatment and was higher (p<0.05) in 50% Ox-MAP and 50% Ox-MAP+VSP treatments than in other treatments. The $b^*$ value was the highest (p<0.05) in VP treatment from 3 d, and was higher (p<0.05) in 80% Ox-MAP+VSP, 50% Ox-MAP, and 50% Ox-MAP+ VSP treatments than in 80% Ox-MAP treatment at d 14. Therefore, VP improved the oxidation and red color stabilities in stored-aged top round compared with Ox-MAP. In addition, 50% Ox-MAP improved the lipid oxidation and red color stabilities compared with 80% Ox-MAP, and its inhibitory effect on lipid oxidation was enhanced by combination with VSP.

벼에서 인산흡수 관련 유전자를 이용하여 무기양분이 제한된 토양에서도 작물의 생장을 극대화시키는 무기영양 이용능력이 강화된 차세대 작물을 개발하고자 인산흡수력이 강화된 OsPT(Phosphate transporter)1, 4, 7, 8-OX 계통을 세대진전시켜 T5 세대에서 유전자의 안정적 도입을 확인하였다. 형질전환 계통들의 뿌리발달 상황을 조사해 본 결과, T/R율이 모든 형질전환 계통에서 동진벼보다 높은 경향을 보였다. OsPT1-OX 및 OsPT4-OX 계통은 모본인 동진벼에 비해 전반적으로 초장, 간장 및 수장은 짧았으나 OsPT7-OX 및 OsPT8-OX 계통은 주요 농업적 특성이 비슷하였다. 인산 무시용 시 OsPT1, 7, 8-OX 계통들은 출수기가 1~2일 정도 조숙화되었으나 인산흡수량이 과다하였던 OsPT4-OX계통은 오히려 2일 정도 만숙화되어 출수기 반응이 뚜렷하였다. 인산 무시용시 관행시비 대비 쌀수량 감소율은 동진벼가 18%로 컸으나 OsPT1-OX, 7, 8계통들은 각각 10, 15, 9%에 불과하였다. 인산 무시용시 모본인 동진벼에 비해 OsPT1, 4, 7, 8-OX 계통들은 출수기의 식물체 인산흡수량이 각각 104, 128, 26, 14% 증가하였으나 질소함량은 10, 16, 12, 5% 증가에 그쳤다. 동진벼에 비하여 P/N율이 높고 간장이 짧은 OsPT1-OX과 4-OX 계통은 (2N)P시험구에서 간장이 각각 6, 4 cm 회복되었다. OsPTs-OX의 인산함량(%)을 분석한 결과, OsPT4-OX >1-OX >7-OX >8-OX 순으로 나타난 반면, OsPT1-OX이 인산흡수율이 높으면서도 생육의 변화가 적어 개체당 총 인산흡수량(g/개체)은 OsPT1-OX >4-OX >7-OX >8-OX 순으로 OsPT1-OX이 인산흡수증진 신품종으로 가장 유망하였다. OsPT1-OX계통의 부위별 인산흡수량은 줄기와 잎에서 동진벼의 2.4배, 2.2배였으나 현미와 영에서는 차이가 없었다.

Drug delivery to the brain may be achieved by producing chimeric peptide, attaching the drug to protein 'vectors' which are transported into the brain from the blood by a receptor-mediated transcytosis through the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Since the BBB expresses high concentrations of transferrin receptor, and it was reported that anti-transferrin receptor mouse monoclonal antibody (OX26) undergoes transcytosis through the BBB, it is logical to assume that a drug delivery system via transferrin receptor-mediated transcytosis is a promising strategy. In the present study, therefore, we tested feasibility of several OX26 based vectors for the brain delivery of a model drug. Avidin-based delivery vectors such as OX26-streptavidin (OX26-SA), OX26-neutralite avidin (OX26-NLA) were chemically synthesized vectors and OX26 immunoglobulin G 3 type $C_{H}3$ fusion avidin $(OX26\;IgG3C_H3-AV)$ was genetically engineered. To improve the efficiency of producing chimeric peptide, we used avidin-biotin technology. Pharmacokinetics of $[^3H]biotin$ bound to OX26-SA, OX26-NLA and $OX26\;IgG3C_H3-AV$ was determined by intravenous injection technique, and their stabilities in plasma were analyzed using HPLC. The brain delivery of $[^3H]biotin$ bound to OX26-SA, OX26-NLA and OX26\;$IgG3C_{H}3-AV$ (expressed as %ID/g brain) was $0.22{\pm}0.01$, $0.18{\pm}0.01$ and $0.25{\pm}0.09$, respectively. The areas under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) for OX26-SA, OX26-NLA, $OX26\;IgG3C_H3-AV$ from time zero to 60 min were $209{\pm}10$, $195{\pm}9$, $134{\pm}29\;%ID\;min/ml$ respectively and their total clearances $(CL_{tot})$ were $1.00{\pm}0.09$, $1.08{\pm}0.07$ and $1.54{\pm}0.29\;ml/min/kg$, espectively. These results showed that these vectors possess preferable pharmaceutical (e.g., resonable stability) and pharmacokinetics (e.g., significant brain uptake and enhanced AUC) for brain delivery. Therefore, these vectors may be broadly useful in the brain delivery of drugs that are not transported into the brain to a significant extent.

Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) has been shown to modulate transactivations by the peroxisome proliferator activated receptor (PPAR)$\gamma$ and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF$\kappa$B). In this study, the oxLDL signaling pathways involved with the NF$\kappa$B transactivation were investigated by utilizing a reporter construct driven by three upstream NF$\kappa$B binding sites, and various pharmacological inhibitors. OxLDL and its constituent lysophophatidylcholine (lysoPC) induced a rapid and transient increase of intracellular calcium and stimulated the NF-KB transactivation in resting RAW264.7 macrophage cells in an oxidation-dependent manner. The NF$\kappa$B activation by oxLDL or lysoPC was inhibited by protein kinase C inhibitors or an intracellular calcium chelator. Tyrosine kinase or PI3 kinase inhibitors did not block the NF$\kappa$B transactivation. Furthermore, the oxLDL-induced NF$\kappa$B activity was abolished by the PPAR$\gamma$ ligands. When the endocytosis of oxLDL was blocked by cytochalasin B, the NF$\kappa$B transactivation by oxLDL was synergistically increased, while PPAR transactivation was blocked. These results suggest that oxLDL activates NF-$\kappa$B in resting macrophages via protein kinase C- and/or calcium-dependent pathways, which does not involve the endocytic processing of oxLDL. The endocytosis-dependent PPAR$\gamma$ activation by oxLDL may function as an inactivation route of the oxLDL induced NF$\kappa$B signal. Short heterodimer partner (SHP), specifically expressed in liver and a limited number of other tissues, is an unusual orphan nuclear receptor that lacks the conventional DNA-binding domain. In this work, we found that SHP expression is abundant in murine macrophage cell line RAW 264.7 but suppressed by oxLDL and its constituent I3-HODE, a ligand for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor y. Furthermore, SHP acted as a transcription coactivator of nuclear factor-$\kappa$B (NF$\kappa$B) and was essential for the previously described NF$\kappa$B transactivation by lysoPC, one of the oxLDL constituents. Accordingly, NF$\kappa$B, transcriptionally active in the beginning, became progressively inert in oxLDL-treated RAW 264.7 cells, as oxLDL decreased the SHP expression. Thus, SHP appears to be an important modulatory component to regulate the transcriptional activities of NF$\kappa$B in oxLDL-treated, resting macrophage cells.
