We investigated the effects of hydrogen plasma treatment on the physical and electrical properties of fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) films used for amorphous silicon (a-Si) thin film solar cells. A slight increase in carrier concentration by the hydrogen doping effect was observed for the FTO film exposed to the hydrogen plasma for 5 min. For further exposure to the plasma, the chemical reduction became prominent and resulted in deterioration of the electrical and optical properties of the film. XPS analysis revealed that the chemical reduction of SnO2 to Sn metallic state occurs on the surface region. It was found that the defects formed by hydrogen plasma act as recombination centers at the interface between FTO electrode and p-layer of a-Si solar cells. This phenomenon resulted in the deterioration of the cell performance. The averaged conversion efficiency (6.82%) of the cells on pristine FTO hydrogen substrate was decreased to 5.81% for the cells on FTO treated for 5 min, which is mainly attributed to the decrease in short-circuit current density.

Song, Jae-Young,Choi, Yeo-Jeong,Kim, Jeong-Min,Kim, Yoo-Ree,Jo, Jin-Seong,Park, Jin-Sik,Park, Hee-Jin,Song, Yun-Gyu,Lee, Kon-Ho,Kang, Hyung-Lyun,Baik, Seung-Chul,Youn, Hee-Shang,Cho, Myung-Je,Rhee, Kw The Korean Society for Microbiology 2011 Journal of Bacteriology and Virology Vol.41 No.4

Gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT) was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from the cell extract of H. pylori. The purified enzyme consisted of heavy and light subunits with molecular weights of 38 kDa and 21 kDa, respectively. N-terminal amino acid sequence of heavy and light subunits revealed that H. pylori GGT was processed into 3 parts for a signal peptide of 27 amino acid residues, a heavy subunit of 352 residues, and a light subunit of 188 residues during translation. The reaction rate for hydrolysis of ${\gamma}$-GpNA was 84.4 ${\mu}mol/min$ per milligram of protein, and that for the ${\gamma}$-glutamyl transfer from ${\gamma}$-GpNA to gly-gly was 23.8 ${\mu}mol/min$ per milligram of protein. The apparent Km values of H. pylori GGT for ${\gamma}$-glutamyl compounds were on the order of $10^{-3}$ to $10^{-4}$ M and those for acceptor peptides and amino acids were on the order of $10^{-1}$ to $10^{-2}$ M. The GGT protein kept approximately 80% of the initial enzymatic activity on incubation at $60^{\circ}C$ for 15 min. The optimum temperature and pH for reactions of both hydrolysis and transpeptidation were $40^{\circ}C$ and 9.0, respectively. The transpeptidation and hydrolysis reactions catalyzed by H. pylori GGT were strongly inhibited by L-Gln and moderately inhibited by L-Ala, L-Ser, ${\beta}$-chloro-L-Ala, and L-Glu. These results demonstrated that the biochemical properties of H. pylori GGT are different from those of other bacterial GGTs. Further, H. pylori GGT might degrade glutathione in the gastric mucous layer of humans if the enzyme could be secreted in the bacterial niches.

시금치에 fumaric acid와 mild heat의 병합처리를 통해 병원성 미생물 제어효과를 규명하고자 시금치에 E. coli O157:H7, L. mon℃ytogenes 를 접종한 후 각 단일처리 후 미생물 수 변화를 측정하였다. Fumaric acid (0.1, 0.3, 0.5%)와 mild heat (40, 50, 60℃)의 각 단일처리 실험 결과를 토대로, 병합처리를 위한 fumaric acid의 최적농도는 0.5%, mild heat 처리조건으로 50℃ 에서 5 min으로 선정하였고, 병합처리 시 L. mon℃ytogenes, E. coli O157:H7의 수는 대조구에 비해 각각 2.53, 2.62 log CFU/g 감소하였다. 그리고 신선한 시금치에 병합처리 후 4℃에서 12일간 저장하면서 미생물 수 감소 및 품질 변화를 조사하였다. 시금치의 초기 미생물 수에 있어서 대조구와 비교하여, 병합 처리구에서 총 호기성 균을 2.77 log CFU/g 감소시켰다. 특히, 저장 12일 후 병합 처리구의 총 호기성 균 수는 4.84 log CFU/g으로 대조구와 비교하여 1.82 log CFU/g의 감균 효과를 가졌다. 또한 시금치의 저장 중 Hunter 색도 값 및 비타민 C 함량에 있어서 처리구 간의 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았다. 따라서 본 연구 결과, fumaric acid와 mild heat의 병합처리가 시금치의 미생물학적 안전성 유지에 효과적인 처리라고 판단된다. The objective of this study was to examine the combined effect of fumaric acid with mild heat on the inactivation of microorganisms on spinach. Spinach leaves were in℃ulated with Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Listeria mon℃ytogenes. Based on the results of single treatment of fumaric acid (0.1, 0.3, and 0.5%) or mild heat (40, 50, and 60℃) regarding the inactivation of the in℃ulated bacteria, the optimal condition for the combined treatment was suggested to be 0.5% fumaric acid and mild heat treatment at 50℃ for 5 min. The combined treatment of fumaric acid with mild heat caused 2.53 and 2.62 log reductions of the populations of L. mon℃ytogenes and E. coli O157:H7, respectively. In addition, during storage of fresh spinach at 4℃ for 12 d, the combined treatment reduced initially the populations of total aerobic bacteria by 2.77 log CFU/g compared with the control. In particular, after 12 d of storage, the population of total aerobic bacteria for the combined treatment sample was 4.84 log CFU/g, whereas the control sample had 6.66 log CFU/g. Color and vitamin C content of spinach samples were not altered significantly by the combined treatment during storage. These results indicate that the combined treatment of fumaric acid with mild heat is an effective method to control microorganisms on spinach during storage.

Potassium cocoyl glycinate (PCG) as a green surfactant was used to evaluate the possibility to substitute petrochemical surfactants for productivity improvement of enzymatic hydrolysis. Yellow poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera L. ) was subjected to NaOH (0.1%, 1.0% and 10.0%) pretreatment at 121°C for 60 min. Pretreated substrate (5.0% w/v) was hydrolyzed by enzyme under the variety PCG concentrations up to 0.3%. The optimum dose of PCG was around 0.03% at which it resulted in the highest total sugar production for all pretreatment conditions. The total sugar production of pretreated yellow poplar with 0.1%, 1.0% and 10.0% of NaOH increased from 2.3, 20.1, 20.8 g/L to 7.7, 25.7, 31.8 g/L under 0.03% of PCG concentration at 72 h hydrolysis. The effect of PCG to improve enzymatic hydrolysis was significantly promising as compared to other researches applying surfactants for hydrolysis. In conclusion, application of PCG was a promising alternative to replace petrochemical surfactants in enzymatic hydrolysis processes due to the high sugar production and positive influence on the ecosystem.

We investigated the effects of methanol extract of Fructus Chebula (MEFC) on local and systemic anaphylaxis. Passive cutaneous anaphylaxis inhibited to 61.42 12.8 % by oral administration of MEFC(I.0 glkg). MEFC inhibited compound 48/80-induced anaphylactic shock 100% with doses of 0.05-1.0 glkg . Administrations of MEFC (1.0 glkg) 60 min before, 5 min after, and 10 min after the compound 48/80 treatment were shown the mortality rates as 0%. MEFC (0.01-1.0 glkg) inhibited the histamine release significantly from the rat peritoneal mast cells by compound 48/80. These results indicate that MEFC inhibits mast cell mediated anaphylactic reactions by inhibition of mast cell degranulation in vivo and in vitro.

An HPLC method was employed for the determination of ethambutol in human plasma. After addition of internal standard (IS, octylamine, 2 μg/mL) and alkalinization of the plasma with 5 M sodium hydroxide, the drug and IS were extracted into the mixture of chloroform and diethyl ether (40:60, v/v). Following a 15-min vortex-mixing and a 10-min centrifugation, the organic phase was spiked with 100 pL of phenylethylisocyanate (2000 μg/mL) for chemical derivatization, mixed for 5 min and evaporated to dryness under a stream of nitrogen. The residue was reconstituted with 100 μL of mobile phase and 20 pL was injected into Cl8 column with a mobile phase consisting of methanol:water (70:30, v/v). The samples were detected utilizing an ultraviolet detector at 200 nm. The method was specific and validated with a limit of 0.15 μg/mL. Infra- and inter-day precision and accuracy were acceptable for all quality control samples including the lower limit of quantification. The applicability of this method was demonstrated by analysis of human plasma after oral administration of a single 1200-mg dose to 20 healthy subjects. From the plasma ethambutol concentration vs. time curves, the mean AUC was 9.61 ± 1.64 μg hr/mL. and Cmax of 2.68 μg/mL reached 2.73 hr after administration. The mean biological half-life of ethambutol was 3.46 ± 1.21 hr. Based on the results, this simple and validated assay could readily be used in any pharmacokinetic studies using humans.

Secretory (S-IgA) isotype antibody (Ab) is known to play an essential role in the primary defense against various infectious agents in mucosal tissue. However, it has been mostly unsuccessful in the induction of antigen (Ag)-specific IgA Ab response in this site by peroral vaccination. In the present study, we investigated the effect of cholera toxin (CI) as a mucosal adjuvant and alginates-microspheres as a carrier on BSA-specific IgA Ab response in gut-associated lymphoid tissue`(GALT). Peroral immunization of BSA plus CT conferred a great BSA-specific IgA response but IgG response on intestinal fluid (IF). In contrast, intraperitoneal immunization of BSA with Freund's adjuvant readily induced BSA-specific IgG response but IgA response in IF. Further, number of CT specific IgA-secreting cells was substantially increased in mesenteric lymph node when CT-encapsulated-VI alginates-microspheres was administered perorally. Taken together, these results indicate that peroral immunization of soluble antigen in combination of CT or microspheres significantly enhances antigen-specific IgA response in GALT.

목적 : 상용화된 PK simulation software를 이용하여 vancomycin의 치료적 약물농도 측정(Therapeutic Drug Monitoring, 이하 TDM)이 의뢰된 환자에서, 측정된 vancomycin 혈청농도와 평균 약동학 지표를 이용하여 계산된 예측농도를 비교하고, 실측 농도와 예측 농도 사이에 차이를 나타내는 요인이 무엇인지를 알아보고자 하였다. 재료 및 방법 : 2001년 3월부터 2002년 9월까지 188명으로부터 vancomycin TDM이 의뢰된 239건의 결과를 분석하였다. Vancomycin을 투여하기 30분 전에 측정된 최저 농도로 CAPCIL^(R) (Simkin Inc.) 프로그램에서 single-point linear 방법으로 약동학 지표(분포용적 : Vd_(m), 청소율: Cl_(m), 반감기 : T_(1/2m))와 이에 따른 실측 농도(ECm, 이하 실측치)를 구하였다. 또한 CAPCIL^(R) 프로그램에서 이들 환자의 평균 약동학 지표(Vd_(p), Cl_(p), T_(1/2p))를 이용한 예측 농도(EC_(p), 이하 예측치)를 계산하였다. 먼저 전체에서 실측치와 예측치의 평균에 차이가 있는지 비교하였으며 신기능 및 체중에 따라 실측치와 예측치의 차이가 있는지 알아보았다. 다음으로 예측 최저 농도를 기준으로 실측 최저 농도와 차이(%dEC=(EC_(m)-EC_(p))/EC_(p))를 세 그룹으로 나누어서 각 그룹 간에 차이를 나타내는 요인이 무엇인지 알아보았다. 통계는 SAS 프로그램을 이용하여paired t-test, ANOVA, multiple regression 등으로 처리하였으며 P<0.05를 유의한 것으로 간주하였다. 결과 : Vancomycin TDM이 의뢰된 188명중 남자 1ll명, 여자 77명이었다. 총 239건에서 실측 최저 농도는 예측 최저 농도보다 유의하게 낮았고(11.9±9.9 ㎍/ml vs. 19.2±19.5 ㎍/ml), 약동학 지표 중 청소율과 분포용적은 예측한 값보다 유의하게 높았다. 신기능 및 체중에 따른 각각의 군에서도 비슷한 양상을 보였다. 예측 최저 농도와 실측 최저 농도의 차이에 따라 구분한 세 군간에 농도 차이를 나타낸 요인으로는 몸무게, 나이, 키, IBW, BUN, Ccr이었으며, 이중 다변량 분석에서 나이, 몸무게, BUN이 실측치와 예측치의 차이에 영향을 주는 요인으로 나타났다. 결론 : 신기능이 저하되었을 경우와 저체중, 고령인 경우 실측 농도에 비해 더 높은 농도로 예측하는 경향으로 나타나 최적의 치료 농도를 유지하기 위해서는 이와 같은 환자에서 특히 vancomycin TDM이 필요하다고 생각된다. Background : We measured plasma vancomycin concentrations as a part of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) consultation and compared and analyzed the estimated plasma steady-state therapeutic drug levels of vancomycin obtained on the basis of measured concentrations and by population PK parameters using a PK simulation software in Korean patients to find the factors influencing the discrepancies that lie between these estimates. Materials and Methods : We analyzed the PK parameters of the 188 patients for whom vancomycin TDM was done for 239 episodes between March, 2001 and September, 2002. The trough vancomycin plasma concentrations were measured from plasma samples that were drawn 30 minutes before a vancomycin dose. Based on the measured concentrations, we estimated the steady-state therapeutic levels (EC_(m)) and PK parameters (apparent volumes of distribution, Vd_(m); clearance, Cl_(m); and half life, T_(1/2m)) using the single-point linear method utilized in CAPCIL (Simkin, Inc.) software program. We compared these with the steady-state levels and PK parameters estimated based on population PK database supplied by the software (EC_(p), Vd_(p), Cl_(p), and T_(1/2p)). We stratified and compared the values based on the patients' renal functions, body weights relative to ideal body weights, the magnitude of differences between EC_(m) and EC_(p). Multiple logistic regression using SAS software package was done to analyze factors that significantly influence the discrepancies. Results:One hundred and eleven were males, and 77 were females. The mean ECm were significantly lower than the mean ECp (11.9±9.9 μg/ml vs. 19.2±19.5 μg/ml). Clm and Vdm were higher than Cl_(p) and Vd_(p), respectively. The same patterns could be applied to the subclasses of patients based on renal functions and body weights. The factors that contribute to the differences in EC_(m) and EC_(p) were body weight, age, height, IBW, BUN, and Clcr, of which age, body weight, and BUN were found to be most significant by multiple regression analysis. Conclusions : Significant sizes of discrepancies between the estimated plasma steady-state therapeutic drug levels of vancomycin obtained on the basis of measured concentrations and by population PK parameters using a PK simulation software in Korean patients necessitate adjustment of dosage and confirmation of steady-state levels by follow-up TDM. We emphasize the need for obtaining vancomycin population PK database in Korean patients.
