Transition metal doped nanostructured powders were synthesized by mechanical alloying(MA) to shift the adsorption threshold into the visible light region. The synthesized powders were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM and BET for structural analysis, UV-Vis and photoluminescence spectrum for the optical study. Also, photocatalytic abilities were evaluated by decomposition of 4-chlorophenol(4CP) under ultraviolet and visible light irradiations. Optical studies showed that the absorption wavelength of transition metal ions doped powders moved to visible light range, which was believed to be induced by the energy level change due to the doping. Among the prepared powders, doped powders, showed excellent photooxidative ability in 4CP decomposition

In ultrastructure study of testis, Sertoli cells start to differentiate at 16 days of gestation. Transcripts of FSH receptor, IGF-I receptor, ER receptor and androgen receptor were highly and initially expressed at 16 day of gestation. As results of in situ PCR at 16 day of gestation, transcripts of FSH, IGF-I receptor were detected in Sertoli cells and spermatogonia, whereas the receptors of and androgen were detected in Sertoli cells. Therefore, expression of FSH and estrogen androgen, IGF-I and could play an important role during fetal and prepubertal testicular development by stage specific manner in mouse.
