PS/PPO 블렌등의 동적 탄성율 E*($\omega$)와 동적 스트레인-광학계수 O*($\omega$)을 유리전이 영역에서 동시에 측정하여, PS/PPO 3종류조성블렌드의 E*($\omega$)와 O*($\omega$)완화거동을 조성 단 일 중합체와 비교고찰하였다. PS/PPO 블렌드의 $\alpha$-분산 점탄성 거동은 조성에 관계없이 거 의 유사하여 조성 고분자가 상호 협동적으로 완화하는 것을 알수 있었다. 그러나 광학적 완 화 스펙트럼 O*($\omega$)는 정성적으로 명확히 다른 거동을 보였다. 단일 PS와 PPO의 O*($\omega$)는 전 영역에 걸쳐 상반된 부로를 나타냈으며 두 고분자의 블렌드는 조성고분자의 반대부호를 상호보상으로 인하여 복굴절이 감소하였다. 3종류블렌드는 PPO의 조성이 증가함에 따라 상 호보상에 의해 O*($\omega$)의부호가 순차적으로 변하여 반전하였으며, 저 복굴절 PS/PPO 블렌드 의 PS조성이 65-80wt% 범위내에 있음을 추정할수 있었다. 상이한 부호를 갖는 복굴절 특 성으로 인하여 블렌드 내에서 각 성분 고분자의 완화 기여를 다순 가성법칙에 의해 정량적 으로 계산하는 것이 가능하였다. 또한 PS/PPO 블렌드의 상용성을 광학적 부분 기여 파라메 터를 사용하여 고찰하였다.

Pulmonary surfactant (PS) therapy in premature infants has a remarkable impact on improving survival and outcomes in neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). Early PS therapy involves instillation of PS upon delivery of very premature infants or if there is evidence of RDS, such as an increased requirement of oxygen 2 hours after birth, especially in infants <30 weeks gestation. Early PS treatment in very premature infants results in a significant reduction in the severity of RDS, mortality, and incidence of pneumothorax, pulmonary interstitial emphysema, and bronchopulmonary dysplasia in comparison with late PS treatment. According to European and American consensus guidelines on the management of neonatal RDS, early PS instillation should be considered for infants <30 weeks gestation, infants with a birth weight <1,250 g, or if the mother has not received antepartum corticosteroids. We suggest that the Korean health insurance policy on RDS be modified so that PS can be used for better clinical outcomes of very premature infants.

N-type porous silicon (PS) layers and thermally oxidized PS layers have been characterized by various measuring techniques such as photoluminescence (PL), Raman spectroscopy, IR, HRSEM and transmittance measurements. The top surface of PS layer shows a stronger photoluminescence peak than its bottom part, and this is ascribed to the difference in number of fine silicon particles of 2~3 nm in diameter. Observed characteristics of PL spectra are explained in terms of microstructures in the n-type PS layers. Common features for both p-type and n-type PS layers are as follows: the parts which can emit visible photoluminescence are not amorphous, but crystalline, and such parts are composed of nanocrystallites of several nm's whose orientations are slightly different from Si substrate, and such fine silicon particles absorb much hydrogen atoms near the surfaces. Light emission is strongly dependent on such fine silicon particles. Photoluminescence is due to charge carrier confinement in such three dimensional structure (sponge-like structure). Characteristics of visible light emission from n-type PS can be explained in terms of modification of band structure accompanied by bandgap widening and localized levels in bandstructure. It is also shown that hydrogen and oxygen atoms existing on residual silicon parts play an important role on emission stability.

Familial form of Alzheimer's disease (FAD) is caused by mutations in presenilin-1 and presenilin-2 (PS2). PS1 and PS2 mutation are known to similar effects on the production of amyloid $\beta$ peptide (A$\beta$) and cause of cell death in the Alzheimer's brain. The importance of the alternation of calcium homeostasis in the neuronal cell death by PS1 mutation in a variety of experimental system has been demonstrated. (omitted)

Alzheimer's disease(AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease, which is pathologically characterized by neuritic plaques and neurofibrillary tangles associated with the acetylchohnesterase, apolipoprotein E and butylcholinesterase, and by mutations in the presenilin genes PS1 and PS2, and amyloid precursor proteins (APPs)'s overexpression. The present research is to examine the inhibition effect of BYCNT on PS-1, PS-2 and APPs's overexpression by detected to Western blotting. To verify the effects of BYCNT on cognitive deficits further, we tested it on the scopolamine(1mg/kg)-induced amnesia model of the mice using the Morris water maze tests, and there was ameliorative effects of memory impairment as a protection from scopolamine. BYCNT only partially blocked the increase in blood serum level of acetylcholinesterase and Uric acid induced by scopolamine, whereas blood glucose level was shown to attenuate the amnesia induced by scopolamine and inreased extracellular serum level compared with only scopolamine injection. In conclusion, studies of BYCNT that has been known as anti-choline and inhibition ablilities of APPs overexpression, this could also be used further as a important research data for a preventive and promising symptomatic treatment for Alzheimer's disease.

Zeolite (FZ) prepared using coal fly ash from an Ulsan industrial complex was immobilized with polysulfone (PS) to fabricate PS-FZ beads. The prepared PS-FZ beads were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The optimum ratio for preparing PS-FZ beads was 1 g of PS to 2 g of FZ. The removal efficiencies of Sr and Cu ions by the PS-FZ beads increased as the solution pH increased and nearly reached a plateau at pH 4. A pseudo-second-order model morel fit the adsorption kinetics of both ions by the PS-FZ beads better than a pseudo-first-order model. The Langmuir isotherm model fit the equilibrium data well. The maximum adsorption capacities calculated from the Langmuir isotherm model were 46.73 mg/g and 62.54 mg/g for the Sr and Cu ions, respectively. Additionally, the values of thermodynamic parameters such as free energy (${\Delta}G^{\circ}$), enthalpy (${\Delta}H^{\circ}$) and entropy (${\Delta}S^{\circ}$) were determined. The results implied that the prepared PS-FZ beads could be interesting an alternative material for Sr and Cu ion removal.

Objectives : This study was designed to evaluate the effects of Phaseoli Semen Herbal-acupuncture(PS-HA) at $KI_{10}$ in acute nephritis induced by lipopolysaccharide(LPS) in rat. Methods : The rats were divided into 5 groups, which were control, LPS, PS-HA, NP and saline group. LPS, PS-HA, NP and saline groups were given LPS to induce acute nephritis and control group did not receive LPS. LPS group did not receive any treatment after the onset of acute nephritis. PS-HA, NP and saline group received PS-HA, normal acupuncture, and saline injection at $KI_{10}$ three times per week, respectively. To evaluate the effect of PS-HA at $KI_{10}$, the complete blood count, BUN, creatinine, TNF-${\alpha}$, and CINC-1 in serum were measured. To show its effect on renal function, creatinine, and total protein in urine was measured as well as urine output. The level of myeloperoxidase in renal tissue was quantified and complete histology was done in kidney samples obtained from the rats. Results : PS-HA group showed a significant reduction in the proportion of WBC and neutrophil, serum BUN, TNF-${\alpha}$, and CINC-1 compared to LPS group. Furthermore, a significant increase in urine output and a decrease in urinary creatinine level, MPO in renal tissue, and number of neutrophils at glomerulus was observed in PS-HA group compared to LPS group Conclusions : PS-HA at $KI_{10}$ was shown to have a significantly effect on treating LPS induced acute nephrits. Therefore, future study is needed to further evaluate the clinical usefulness of PS-HA at $KI_{10}$ in treating acute nephritis.

Substitution of natural fine aggregates with industrial by-products like precious slag balls (PS Balls) offers various advantages like technical, economic and environmental which are very important in the present era of sustainability in construction industry. PS balls are manufactured by subjecting steel slag to slag atomizing Technology (SAT) which imparts them the desirable characteristics of fine aggregates. The main objective of this research paper is to assess the feasibility of producing good quality concrete by using PS balls, to identify the potential benefits by their incorporation and to provide solution for increasing their utilization in concrete applications. The study investigates the effect of PS balls as partial replacement of fine aggregates in various percentages (20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100%) on mechanical properties of concrete such as compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, and flexural strength. The optimum mix was found to be at 40% replacement of PS balls with maximum strength of 62.89 MPa at 28 days curing. Permeability of concrete was performed and it resulted in a more durable concrete with replacement of PS balls at 40% and 100% as fine aggregates. These two specific values were considered as optimum replacement is 40% and also the maximum possible replacement is 100%. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis was done and it was found that the PS balls in concrete were unaffected and with optimum percentage of PS balls as fine aggregates in concrete resulted in good strength and less cracks. Hence, it is possible to produce good workable concrete with low water to cement ratio and higher strength concrete by incorporating PS balls.

Reduced graphene oxide (RGO)를 수용성 고분자인 poly(styrene sulfonate) (PSS)로 wrapping한 수분산성 그래핀 치환체인 G-PSS와 전도성 고분자인 poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT/PSS)의 복합화에 관하여 연구하였다. G-PSS의 존재 하에서 PEDOT/PSS의 제자리 화학 중합 반응을 수행하여 복합체(GP)를 얻었다. 생성물의 XPS, IR 및 Raman 분석을 통하여 모노머인 EDOT의 중합이 원활하게 진행되어 PEDOT/PSS가 생성됨과 동시에 그래핀과 복합화되었다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 GP는 $4.46{\times}10^2S/m$의 전도도를 나타냈으며, 0.5%의 농도까지 물에 분산이 되어 G-PSS보다 전기적 특성 및 수분산성 모두 우수하였다.
