In order to develop a suitable secondary renal disease model and diagnostic markers of renal disease in the rat, the change of PIIIP (aminoterminal procollagen III peptide) in serum and hydroxyproline levels in the renal tissue that reflect the synthesis of extracellular matrix (ECM) during development of experimental renal diseases were observed. Two types of experimental primary diseases, diabetes mellitus administrated by streptozotocin (STZ, 75 mg/kg, i.p.) and liver cirrhosis produced by bile duct ligation/scission (BDL/s) operation, were induced. The hydroxyproline level increased according to the high PIIIP and NCl(carboxyterminal procollagen IV peptide) in Western blot analysis as early as 1 week in the STZ treated-rat kidney. Increased renal ECM was observed at 15 weeks in STZ and BDL/s model under the microscopic examination. High PAS positive reaction was found in capillary basement membrane in STZ treated-rats and mesangium in BDL/s operated rats at this time, showing the histological characteristics of diabetic nephropathy and cirrhotic glomerulonephritis in human, respectively. Such secondary renal failure were supported by additional tests including urinalysis and renal function test. The serum PIIIP detected by ELISA was a useful parameter to estimate synthesis rate of renal ECM during development of renal disease without extrarenal fibrosis i.e. liver cirrhosis in rats. This study is proposed that STZ treatment or BDL/s operation may be a suitable experimental animal model for the induction and development of chronic secondary renal diseases. Morover, it was found that hydroxyproline level in renal tissues was a good parameter of the change of renal ECM at the early stage of the diseases without apparent histological changes. Especially, serum PIIIP could be a choice as a diagnostic or prognostic marker during the development of renal diseases in rats.

The long-term stability of sulfonic acid-containing polyimides has been investigated. The hydrolytic degradation of homopolyimide and the block copolyimide comprising $27\;mol\%$ of 2,2'-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzidine and $9\;mol\%$ of m-phenylenediamine (BTFMB27mPl0[7/(3+1)]), was quantified through viscosity measurements and FT-IR spectroscopic analyses. The viscosity decrease with respect to time and the degradation rate were similar. The degrees of degradation with respect to time under ambient conditions and at elevated temperature in water were monitored by FT-IR spectroscopy. A new absorption peak was observed at $1786\;cm^{-1},$ which we corresponds to the presence of anhydride end groups formed by hydrolytic scission of the imide rings.

본 연구에서는 면시험포와 cellophane film을 이용하여 xenon arc lamp 를 사용한 인공기후조 안에서 광선의 파장에 따른 강도의 변화와 변색을 조사하였다. Pyrex와 quartz filter를 사용하여 광선의 파장이 섬유의 성질을 변화시키는 중요한 요인임을 밝히고 first-order kinetic model을 사용하여 반응속도를 측정하였다. 또 면섬유의 황변현상을 화학적으로분석하여 파장이 긴 자외선과 가시광선의 영역에서는 황변과 동시에 표백효과가 있음을 알게 되었고 그 속도를 측정하였다. 세가지의 중요한 말단기분석을 통해 carbonyl기의 양이 제일 많고 carboxyl기와 peroxide기도 존재함을 분석하였고 또 이들의 양은 온도와 습도에 따라 변화하는 것으로 나타났다 Cellulose chain의 중합도를 측정하고 이를 cellulose bond scission과 연결시켜서 중합도와 섬유의 강도저하와의 관계를 연구하였다.

MDA(malondialdehyde) is the parameter of lipid peroxidation. The change of MDA value was investigated in normal and in fibrotic rats by bile duct ligation and scission operation. In order to know how does lipid peroxidation play under the fibrotic condition we studied whether MDA as lipid peroxidation marker has correlation with one of the liver fibrotic parameters.(omitted)

Thermal decomposition characteristics of ethyl methacrylate (EMA) and Styrene (St.) copolymer was investigated with synthesis at 8$0^{\circ}C$ in a continuous stirred tank reacto (CSTR) using toluene and benzoyl peroxide(BPO) as solvent and initiator, respectively. The thermal decomposition was considered to be side scission at below 30$0^{\circ}C$ and estimated 2nd-order reaction kinetics of EMA/St. copolymer. The activation energies of decomposition on this copolymers were in the ranges of 38-43 kcal/mol for EMA/St. and a good additivity rule was observed in each composition. The thermogravimetric trace curves agreed well with the theoretical calculation.

The mechanical degradation of $poly(\alpha-methyl$ styrene) in several mixed solvents (chlorobenzene-n-butyl alcohol, chlorobenzene-sec-butyl alcohol, chlorobenzene-Kerosene, chlorobenzene-methylketone) was studied using the capillary flow method. The velocity constant of scission reaction (K) and the limited degree of polymerization (g) were compared at the same value of [${\eta}$], which is considered as the parameter of molecular dimension of polymers in solution. As results, (K) did not change much, even if the species and the volume fraction of poor(non-) solvents changed, while the value of (g) changed according to the species of poor (non-) solvents and the value of [${\eta}$] these results were discussed.

Structural changes attending polyacrylonitrile(PAN) upon heating and treating with nucleophilic reagents have been studied for some time and a few authors have studied on the thermal degradation, particularly on the characterization of degradation products in PAN. It is the purpose of this paper to report the kinetic study on the thermal degradation above $250^{\circ}C$ and make some suggestions as to the degradation process and mechanism in PAN. The degradation process in PAN is considered that three reactions are combined in two steps. Random chain scission accompanying the naphthylidine-type ring formation is the first step and the degradation of naphthylidine-type ring occurred as the next step. The reactions in the first step are competitive so that the maximum weight loss on pyrolysis of PAN, under such a condition that the degradation of naphthylidine-type ring is negligible, is depended on the relative reaction rate of these two competitive reactions.

This paper reports on the evaluation of weathering resistance, tracking test and salt-fog of various kinds of cycloaliphatic epoxy systems. It was found that UV irradiation induced the loss of hydrophobic level due to the chain scission attack at the surface. It could be seen that samples containing an UV absorbent/antioxidant and a silicone oil additive knave a good performance in weathering ageing, whereas ATH filled ones have high resistance against tracking failure than others. Under salt-fog test, specimens mixed with silicone oil could suppress leakage current development. It was thought that silicone oil mixed into cycloaliphatic epoxy system could lead to lower the surface energy and to retain hydrophobic properties for a long time, which are desirable for outdoor performances.

Autophagy is a lysosome-dependent degradation process that is essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis. In recent years, more studies have focused on the late stages of autophagy. Our group discovered and studied the terminal step of autophagy, namely autophagic lysosome reformation (ALR). ALR is the process that regenerates functional lysosomes from autolysosomes, thus maintaining lysosome homeostasis. ALR involves clathrin-mediated membrane budding from autolysosomes, elongation of membrane tubules along microtubules with the pulling force provided by the motor protein KIF5B, proto-lysosome scission by dynamin 2, and finally maturation of proto-lysosomes to functional lysosomes. In this review, we will summarize progress in unveiling the molecular mechanisms underlying ALR and its potential pathophysiological roles.

리놀레산 과산화물이 펩신의 활성도에 미치는 영향을 실험한 결과 여러 온도와 pH 조건하에서 리놀레산 과산화물에 의해 펩신 활성도는 감소되었다. 또한, 각종 라디칼 소거제와 금속 이온 존재하에서 펩신 활성을 측정한 결과와 전기영동 결과에 비추에 볼 때 효소의 활성감소는 시스템내에 존재했던 라디칼에 의한 효소자체의 손상에서 비롯된 것으로 생각되었다.
