대나무수액의 자유라디칼 소거능을 측정하기 위하여 DPPH를 이용한 자유 라디칼 소거능 실험을 수행하여 항산화 효과를 측정한 결과 대나무수액의 농도가 높을수록 DPPH 활성이 뛰어남을 알 수 있었고, ROS를 이용하여 항산화효과를 확인하였다. 배양된 대식세포에 대나무수액을 농도별로 첨가한 결과 대나무수액 농토가 높을수록 과산화수소에 의해 유도된 산화적 자극이 감소하였다. 또한 세포 생존에 미치는 영향을 알고자 대나무수액을 농도별로 첨가하여 24시간

활성산소 (reactive oxygen species, ROS)에 대한 현삼(Scrophulariae Radix, SR)추출물의 항산화 효과를 조사하기 위하여 NIH3T3 섬유모세포를 배양한 후 H2O2의 세포독성분석과 이에 대한 SR추출물의 영향을 항산화 측면에서 조사하였다. 본 실험에서 H2O2는 세포생존율의 감소함으로서 세포독성을 나타냈으며 이는 Borenfreund와 Puerner(1984)의 독성판정기준에 의하여 강독성인 것으로 나타났다. 한편, H2O2에 대한 SR추출물의 항산화 효과에 대한 분석에 있어서 SR추출물은 H2O2의 세포독성에 대하여 세포생존율의 증가를 비롯하여 LDH 활성감소 및 DPPH-자유기제거능을 나타냄으로서 항산화 효과를 나타냈다.

This study assessed the characteristics of emission and cell toxicology of Methylethylketone(MEK) in ambient air of industrial area. MEK is produced by the oxidation of sec-butyl alcohol and used as the solvent for making ink, printing, coating of film, bonding material and drug extraction. The MEK concentrations in the ambient-air of industrial area in Gimhae City was detected in the range of 25.4～1,580 ㎍/㎥ with an average 297.4 ㎍/㎥. The concentration of MEK showed a descending tendency from April to August followed by its increased tendency since then. The effects of MEK on the human lung cancer A549 cells was examined by the generation of Reactive Oxygen Species(ROS) and cytotoxicity. The range of MEK concentration detected in the area induced ROS generation affecting the oxidation state with a little effects on the viability of the cells.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of Pine needle extract on lipid oxidation and free radical reaction in iron sources reacted with active oxygen species. The results were summarized as follow; The pine needle extracts didn`t show a distinct effect on reduction of lipid oxidation if the iron ion didn`t exist in oil emulsion. The pine needle extracts played role as a strong chelating agents to bind iron ion if Ferrous iron(Fe\ulcorner) exist in oil emulsion. Ferric iron(Fe) was lower effect than Ferrous iron(Fe) on free radical reaction in oil emulsion. And also, the Fe\ulcorner reacted with pine needle extract did not show distinct effect on free radical reaction, compared to Fe\ulcorner reacted with pine needle extract. And also, Pine needle extracts reacted with H\ulcornerO\ulcorner were tended to show a low oxygen scavenging ability in case of H\ulcornerO\ulcorner only was existed, compared to those of H\ulcornerO\ulcorner + Fe\ulcorner complex. Pine needle extracts were the most powerful Fe\ulcorner binding agents, compared to other strong synthetic antioxidants such as EDTA and DTPA.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of pressure and dissolved oxygen concentration on the activated sludge and to determine the optimum depth of deep shaft process. Some results from this study were summarized as follows. 1. It is considered that low sludge product in the activated sludge system maintaining high dissolved oxygen concentration is attributed to the increase of endogeneous respiration rate caused by the increase of aerobic zone in the sludge floc. 2. The increase of dissolved oxygen concentration does not affect to the increase of organic removal efficiency greatly and therefore the limiting factor is the substrate transfer into the inner part of floc. 3. The yield coefficient, Y is decreased in proportion to the increase of oxygen concentration. In this study, Y values arre ranged from 0.70 to 0.41 according to the variation of dissolved oxygen concentration from 18.0㎎/ℓ to 258 ㎎/ℓ. 4. The optimum depth of deep shaft process should be determined within the limits of non-toxicity to the microorganism and it is about 100m in this study.
