The immunosuppressive effects of safrole were studied in female BALB/c mouse. Mice were given 100,200and 400mg safrole/kg daily for 14days and evaluated on day 15. The day 4 immunogloblin-M antibody response to T-dependent antigen, sheep red blood cells (SRBC) was inhibited dose-dependently in all doses studied. In vitro antibody response to polyclonal antigen, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) by spleen cell suspensions from safrole-treated mice were also significantly inhibited. When safrole was treated for 14days to mice, and mitogen-induced proliferation of splenocytes were assayed on day 15, there were significant suppression of responses to B-cell mitogen, LPS and T-cell mitogen concanavalin A(Con A) at a dose of 400mg safrole/kg. Direct addition of safrole on the splenocyte culture also produced a dose dependent suppression on in vitro antibody response to LPS, and mitogen-induced lymphoproliferatin at doses of 100,200,400 and 800${\mu}M$ safrole. The role of metabolic activation in safrole-induced suppression of in vitro antibody response was studied using splenocyte-hepatocyte coculture system. The suppression of in vitro antibody respose to LPS by safrole was not altered when safrole were incubated in the splenocyte-hepatocyte system for 4hr as compared with direct addition of safrole in splenocytes culture. Neither the addition of salicylamide, sulfotransferase inhibitor, nor the addation of inorganic sulfate, sulfation cofactor to the splenocyte-hepatocyte coculture, altered the suppression of antibody response by safrole. These results suggest that the immunosuppression by safrole may not by produced by the reactive metabolites which are mediated in carcinogenesis of safrole.

In this study, the mixing method of positive paste and mixing temperature to improve the capacity of the lead-acid batteries has been investigated. The results show that the initial current capacity of lead acid battery depend on the mixing temperature and mixing method of positive paste. In the results of the capacity cycle repetition tests for estimating the life cycle, the 3BS showed the PCL. but the fine 4BS represented certain improved cycles compared to that of the coarse 4BS. It was considered that the fine 4BS showed higher bond strength between active materials than the coarse 4BS and represented large contact areas and that lead to prevent possible sulfation due to the suppression of insulating layers.

하수시설 및 복개 구조물 등은 용해 시 산성으로 작용하는 황화수소에 크게 노출되어, 황산화균의 작용에 의해 강산성의 황산이온이 생성된다. 이에 따라 콘크리트의 생화학적 부식에 의한 열화가 촉진되며, 콘크리트 손상을 더욱 가속화하여 내구성이 크게 저하될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 콘크리트에서 황산화균이 유기 생체적으로 사용하는 황화수소를 제거하기 위해, 금속의 살균성을 이용하여 금속 및 금속염 분말을 콘크리트에 혼입한 후, 황산화 억제 성능을 평가하였다. 이를 위해 중성화한 콘크리트 시편의 황산화균에 대한 항균 성능을 비교 평가하였고, 급속 염소이온 침투시험을 통해 금속 및 금속염계 항균제 첨가량에 따른 콘크리트 염화물 침투깊이 및 확산계수를 측정하였다. 또한 야외에서 폭로시킨 콘크리트 시편의 표면 상태의 생화학적 상태를 관측하여, 항균콘크리트의 성능 및 적용성을 확인하였다.
