Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are widely used in various fields because they make it easy to control porous structures according to combinations of metal ions and organic linkers. In addition, ZIF (zeolitic imidazolate framework), a type of MOF, is made up of transition metal ions such as Co2+ or Zn2+ and linkers such as imidazole or imidazole derivatives. ZIF- 67, composed of Co2+ and 2-methyl imidazole, exhibits both chemical stability and catalytic activity. Recently, due to increasing need for energy technology and carbon-neutral policies, catalysis applications have attracted tremendous research attention. Moreover, demand is increasing for material development in the electrocatalytic water splitting and metal-air battery fields; there is also a need for bifunctional catalysts capable of both oxidation/reduction reactions. This review summarizes recent progress of bifunctional catalysts for electrocatalytic water splitting and metal-air batteries using ZIF-67. In particular, the field is classified into areas of thermal decomposition, introduction of heterogeneous elements, and complex formation with carbonbased materials or polyacrylonitrile. This review also focuses on synthetic methods and performance evaluation.

꼬막은 해양 어업으로써 아시아 전 지역에 있어서 중요한 수산자원 중 하나이다. 하지만, 공장 의 산업화, 해양 환경오염, 그리고 지구 온난화로 인해 해양 어업 생산량이 급격히 떨어졌다. 우리나라 남해안의 주요 수산자원인 꼬막의 유전적 특성을 파악하기 위하여 꼬막의 전장유전 체를 해독하고 염색체 서열을 규명하였다. 915.4 Mb의 게놈을 조립하였고, 19개의 염색체 유전자 서열을 식별하였다. 꼬막의 유전체에서 25,134개의 유전자들을 확인하였고, 그 중에 22,745개 의 유전자들에 대한 기능을 확인했으며, 4,014개의 유전자들에 대한 KEGG pathway를 분석하 였다. 꼬막유전체와 8종의 다른 패류와 비교유전체 분석을 통하여 확장/감소(gene gain and loss) 분석을 수행한 결과, 725개의 유전자군의 확장과 479개의 유전자군의 감소를 확인하였다. 꼬막의 homeobox 유전자 클러스터는 촉수담륜동물 내에서 잘 보존된 유전자 구조를 보였다. 또한, 꼬막은 3개의 hemoglobin 유전자들이 피조개의 hemoglobin과 높은 유사성을 보였다. 꼬막의 전장유전체 정보를 통해 꼬막의 환경 적응과 진화의 유전적 특성과 생리적 특성뿐만 아니라, 꼬막 양식의 효율성을 높이는 양식산업에 널리 이용될 수 있는 유전적 정보를 제공 할 것이다.

본 연구는 여수 인근 13개 무인도 주변 해역의 굴 Crassostrea gigas (n=410, SH 43.3±11.4 mm) 에서 확인된 인터섹스 현상을 보고하고자 하였다. 전체 성비(암:수)는 1:1.1이었으나 채집 정점 별로 성비의 차이를 보였다. 가장도, 소경도, 중삼도에서는 암컷이 65% 이상의 높은 비율을 보 였으며, 송도, 초도, 부서도에서는 수컷이 65% 이상의 높은 비율을 나타냈다. 전체 intersexuality 는 약 12.8%로 암컷에서 약 34.7%, 수컷에서 약 64.3%로 수컷에서 높았다. Intersexuality는 가막만의 초도에서 약 43.8%로 가장 높았다. 조직학적으로 인터섹스는 intrafollicular type, interfollicular type, mixed type의 세 가지 형태로 나눌 수 있었다. 이들 세 가지 형태 가운데 intrafollicular type이 약 81.6%로 가장 우세하였다. 본 연구에서 보고된 굴의 인터섹스 원인에 관해서는 추후 세부적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

본 연구에서는 PEBAX2533에 합성된 GO와 PEI-GO의 함량을 달리 첨가하여 혼합막을 제조하고 N2와 CO2의 투과 특성을 연구하였다. PEBAX/GO 혼합막의 N2와 CO2 투과도는 전체적으로 GO 함량이 증가할수록 감소하였고, GO 0.3 wt%에서 가장 높은 CO2/N2 선택도 58.9를 보였다. 그리고 PEBAX/PEI-GO 혼합막에서 N2 투과도는 PEI-GO 함량이 증가함에 따라 감소하였고, CO2 투과도는 PEI-GO 함량에 따라 다른 경향을 보였으며 전체적으로 PEBAX/GO 혼합막보다 더 높은 CO2/N2 선택도를 보였다. 특히 PEI-GO 0.3 wt%는 혼합막들 중 가장 높은 CO2/N2 선택도인 73.5를 보이며 Robeson upper bound 위에 위치하는 긍정적인 결과를 얻었다. 이는 본연의 GO 구조에 의한 molecular sieving channel 효과와 CO2에 친화성이 있는 GO의 구조 내에 존재하는 작용기 그리고 GO를 PEI로 개질함으로써 PEI에 결합되어 있는 amine에 의한 효과가 함께 작용했기 때문으로 생각된다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the improvement effect of biomarkers through the supply of natural diet in the juvenile hybrid abalone (Haliotis discus discus♀*H. madaka♂). For the study, the shell length of about 17 mm and the total weight of 0.83 g were used. The feeding conditions were set as the natural diet group (dried laver) and the formulated diet group, and the experiment duration was 16 weeks. The survival rate was about 14% higher in the natural diet group than the formulated diet group, and growth was also faster in the natural diet group. Shell malformation rate was lower in the natural diet group (7.5%) than the formulated diet group (21.5%). In the biochemical composition, except for carbohydrates, both experimental groups showed similar values. The degeneration of epithelial cells in the hepatopancreatic tubule was lower in the natural diet group than the formulated diet group, and the activity of basophilic cell was higher in the natural diet group. These results indicate that it is worth considering the supply of natural diet for the breeding of juvenile hybrid abalone and the improvement of the quality of the formulated diet (H. discus discus♀*H. madaka♂).

This study was designed to investigate the intracellular signaling pathways and immunoenhancing effect of macrophage activation by crude polysaccharides (CPP) extracted from citrus peels. CPP did not affect the cytotoxicity of RAW264.7 cells, but showed dose-dependent effects on cell viability. Also, CPP showed high production of chemokine (nitric oxide (NO)) and cytokines (interleukin (IL)-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α). CPP increased IL-6, TNF-α, and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) mRNA expression dose-dependently. CPP also strongly induced the phosphorylation of the ERK, p38, and IκBα pathways in RAW 264.7 cells. In anti-pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) experiments, the effect of CPP on NO production was strongly suppressed by neutralizing toll-like receptor (TLR)2, TLR4, and Dectin1 antibodies, whereas IL-6 and TNF-α production by CPP was mainly suppressed by mannose receptor (MR). Therefore, these results suggest that CPP treatment-induced NO production was regulated by the ERK, p38, and NF-κB pathways through TLR2, TLR4, and Dectin1 receptors, whereas IL-6 and TNF-α production was primarily regulated by the ERK, p38, and NF-κB pathways through MR receptors.

This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of odor-causing substances in Yeosu national industrial complex, which is designated as an “Odor management Area,” in 2019 and the surrounding area. The sampling sites were divided into three areas: five sites within the industrial complex (Management area), one site within the borders of the complex (Boundary area), and two sites within residential areas (Affected area) affected by odors. The odor compounds were collected from March to September at dawn, daytime, and night. The analytical items were meteorological data, complex odor, legally-designated 22 odor compounds and other VOCs. Complex odor was exceeded on the limit three occasions at two sites in the management area. Ammonia, two types of sulfides, three types of aldehydes, and five VOCs were detected to be within the emission standards. Ammonia was the most frequently detected compounds. Aldehydes and sulfur compounds made a relatively high contribution to the level of odors. Therefore, aldehydes and sulfur compounds should be reduced first in order to prevent odors from occurring.

In this study, chemical information on a total of 20 individual compounds was constructed to identify isoflavones from the previous reports related with used parts(seeds, leaves, stems, pods) and products of soybean(Glycine max L.). Through constructed library and UPLC-DAD-QToF/MS analysis, a total of 19 individual isoflavones including aglycones, glucosides, acetylglucosides and malonylglucosides as major compounds was identified and quantified from 14 selected soybean seeds. Among them, genistein 7-O-(2"-O-apiosyl)glucoside and genistein 7-O-(6"-O-apiosyl)glucoside(ambocin) were identified tentatively as novel compounds in soybean seeds. Besides, among malonylglucosides, glycitein 4'-O-(6''-O-malonyl)glucoside was estimated for the first time. Total isoflavone contents were distributed from 240.21 to 445.21(mg/100 g, dry matter) and 7-O-6''-O-malonylglucosides were composed of 77.8% on total isoflavone as well as genistein derivatives were confirmed as major class. It was considered importantly that the development of isoflavone-rich varieties was necessary to strengthen their effects such as anti-inflammation, anti-cancer and menopause mitigation. The qualitative and quantitative data presented precisely in this study could be help to select and breed isoflavone-rich varieties. Furthermore, their basic isoflavone profile is expected to be applied to estimate the change of isoflavone conjugates on bioavailability after soy food supplements.

본 연구에서는 ZIF-8와 amine으로 개질된 ZIF-8 (amineZIF-8) 함량에 따른 PEBAX/ZIF-8, PEBAX/amineZIF-8 복 합막을 제조하고, 각 복합막에 대해 N2와 CO2의 기체투과 성질을 조사하였다. N2와 CO2 투과도는 PEBAX/ZIF-8 복합막의 경 우 ZIF-8 함량이 많아질수록 증가하였고, PEBAX/amineZIF-8 복합막의 경우 amineZIF-8 20 wt%까지 증가하다가 그 이상의 함량에서는 감소하였다. CO2/N2 이상 선택도는 PEBAX/ZIF-8과 PEBAX/amineZIF-8 복합막 모두 ZIF-8과 amineZIF-8의 함량 20 wt%까지는 증가하다가 그 이후 감소하였고, PEBAX/amineZIF-8 복합막의 경우는 감소폭이 적었다. AmineZIF-8 20 wt% 에서 CO2/N2 이상 선택도가 가장 높았던 이유는 amine 개질로 PEBAX와 amineZIF-8 사이에서의 호환성을 높이고, amineZIF-8 이 PEBAX 내에 고르게 분산되면서 3.4 Å 기공 크기를 갖고 있는 ZIF-8 효과와 CO2에 친화성이 있는 amine의 효과를 가장 크 게 받았기 때문으로 보인다.

This study surveyed Chinese elderly consumers to determine their purchasing behavior, importance, and satisfaction with HMR products in China. Three hundred and seventy people were surveyed: 184 males and 186 females aged 55 to 70 years. Two hundred and sixty-seven (72.25%) of the surveyed consumers had an average monthly income of 6,000 yuan or less, and 313 (84.9%) responded that they spend 3000 yuan or less on groceries per month. Three hundred and fortyeight (94.1%) showed a high interest in health management. Regarding the frequency of purchasing HMR products, most responded that they purchased HMR products more than once or twice a week, with a single purchase of 100 yuan or less for each purchase. The respondents preferred 2 or 3 serving packagings in a refrigerated form. For all forms of products, those made as in-house meals, outdoor meals, as a snack or night snack, for serving guests, for trips, camping, and on-thego products, the participants mostly responded that they frequently purchased the product. When purchasing HMR products, the importance of hygiene, convenience in purchase accessibility, the freshness of ingredients, and an indication of the nutritional content were considered as a high rank. After purchase, the satisfaction of SNS and mobile application advertisements and promotions, amount per serving, take out convenience, and new menu were considered low-rank. The IPA results showed that marking the origin of the ingredients and new menu are areas needing improvement. The study results may be used as base data for developing elderly friendly HMR products and establishing its marketing strategies.
