본 실험은 140 mM HCl 60% Alcohol로 유도된 SD rat를 이용해 각 천연물질의 위염 예방효과를 보고자 하였다. 실험에 사용한 천연소재는 질려자, 갯기름나물, 삼채 뿌리이며, 분쇄기를 이용해 분말화 한 후 열수추출하여 사용했다. 그룹별 각 3마리씩 1군(정상대조군), 2군(증류수 투여 후 140 mM HCl 60% Alcohol 실험적 위염 유발), 3군(질려자 추출물 투여 후 140 mM HCl 60% Alcohol 실험적 위염 유발), 4군(갯기 름나물 추출물 투여 후 140 mM HCl 60% Alcohol 실험적 위염 유발), 5군(삼채뿌리 추출물 투여 후 140 mM HCl 60% Alcohol 실험적 위염 유발)으로 분류되어 각 군 별로 시험물질을 경구 투여했다. 3군, 4군 및 5군은 일주일 간 해당하는 천연물질은 300 mg/kg/day로 경구투여 하였다. 투여기간 후 마지막으로 시험물질을 투여한 후, 급성 위염 유발하고 1시간 뒤 희생시켜 위를 적출하였다. 급성 위염으로 인해 손상된 위 조직을 통해 손상면적 측정 및 병리학적 검사를 진행한 결과, 해당 실험은 천연소 재를 투여한 실험군에서 위 점막 손상 및 출혈이 감소하였음을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구는 질려자, 갯기름나물, 삼채뿌리 추출물이 급성 위염 예방에 대한 효과를 가지고 있으며, 기능성 보조제 및 건강기능식품의 유용한 소재로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Glass-ceramics were developed many years ago and have been applied in many fields such as electronics, chemistry, optics, etc. Much is already known about glass-ceramic technology, but many challenges in glass-ceramic research are still unresolved. Recently, large amounts of slag have steadily increased in the steel industry as by-products. To promote recycling of industrial waste, including steel industry slags, many studies have been performed on the fabrication of basalt-based highstrength glass-ceramics. In this study, we have fabricated such ceramics using various slags to replace high performance castbasalt, which is currently imported. Glass-ceramic material was prepared in similar chemical compositions with commercial cast-basalt through a pyro process using slags and power plant by-product (Fe-Ni slag, converter slag, dephosphorization slag, Fly ash). The properties of the glass-ceramic material were characterized using DTA, XRD, and FE-SEM; measurements of compressive strength, Vicker’s hardness, and abrasion were carefully performed. It is found that the prepared glass-ceramic material showed better performance than that of commercial cast-basalt.

Methanol is one of the clean burning fuel with versatile applications. As a combustion fuel, it provides extremely low emissions. Methanol can also be used as a primary transporation fuel or a fuel additive and expecially as a raw metalial for methyl t-butyl ether. Methanol synthesis from synthetic gas was carried out in the Ru-CuO/ZnO/Al2O3 catalytic system. The influence of various factors, such as the reaction temperature, the concentration of ruthenium (Ru) and the reaction pressure was discussed, respectively, and the most preferred condition were obtained. The results showed that metanol synthesis could be prepared from carbon monoxide and hydrogen under reaction conditions. The reaction of Ru-CuO/ZnO/Al2O3 catalyst (E-catalyst) was operated most preferably at 160oC and 40 bar.
