In this study, extinction limit and emission characteristics of COG(Coke Oven Gas), was numerically investigated using counterflow nonpremixed flames to verify usage as a combustion fuel. Also, ammonia (NH3) added COG was studied to reduce carbon emission. OPPDIF code with GRI 3.0 detailed kinetic mechanism was used to predict the extinction limit, EINOx and NO production rates. As results, the extinction limit of COG was greatly expanded compared to CH4, and it was confirmed that the maximum flame temperature at the extinction point was also greatly reduced due to H2, which accounts for 55% of COG. When NH3 was added, the extinction limits gradually decreased, and the maximum flame temperature at the extinction point increased, which is due to the low combustion reactivity of NH3. Meanwhile, it can be confirmed that NOx emissions increased rapidly as NH3 was added.

소염·진통 의약품 성분인 beclomethasone, dexamethasone, prednisolone, ketoprofen, phenylbutazone 5종에 대 한 동시분석을 위해 LC-MS/MS 분석 조건 중 MRM 방식 으로 각 성분의 MS 분석 최적조건을 결정하고, 정량이온 으로 beclomethasone 409.1/391.0, dexamethasone은 393.1/ 372.9, prednisolone은 361.0/343.1, ketoprofen은 255.0/209.0, phenylbutazone은 309.1/160.1 을 분석하였다. 혼합표준용 액을 기울기용매 조건으로 이동상 A(0.1% 개미산), B(0.1% 개미산을 함유한 아세토니트릴)를 이용하여 17분 동안 분 석한 결과, prednisolone (tR: 7.34 min), dexamethasone (tR: 7.73 min), beclomethasone (tR: 7.82 min), phenylbutazone (tR: 8.31 min), ketoprofen (tR: 9.24 min) 순서로 검출되었 다. 5종 성분 모두 약 2-100 ng/mL 농도 수준의 검정곡선 에서 R2 값이 0.999 이상의 우수한 직선성을 나타내었고, prednisolone을 제외한 4종 성분의 검출한계는 0.4-0.9 ng/ mL, 정량한계는 0.81-2.22 ng/mL 였으며, prednisolone은 그보다 다소 높은 4.60, 11.46 ng/mL 이었다. 환제품의 기 타가공품 공시료에 5종 성분 혼합표준용액을 최종농도가 5, 20, 50 ng/mL 이 되도록 직접 첨가하여 분석한 결과, 모든 농도에서 80% 이상의 우수한 회수율을 얻을 수 있 었고, 일내 일간 반복 분석의 상대표준편차(%)를 통해 모 든 성분에서 비교적 재현성 있는 결과가 나타났다. 실제 인터넷 상에서 유통중인 식품에 이 분석법을 적용한 결과 모든 제품에서 검출되진 않았으나, 소비자들의 건강상 위 해를 끼칠 수 있는 이들 성분의 동시분석법을 활용한 지 속적인 모니터링이 필요한 실정이다.

Korean Sophora japonica has been found to posses an anti-inflammatory activity. In this study, Korean Sophora japonica extract, rutin, was used to know whether rutin inhibits to produce inflammatory mediators NO and TNF-α from the mouse peritoneal macrophages that were treated an inflammatory agent LPS. The rutin-1 hr pretreated macrophages were incubated with LPS for 0.5~5 hrs, and then collected the supernatant and the cell lysate for measurements of the level of iNOS, NO, TNF-α mRNA, TNF-α, and p-NF-kB. Minimal and maximal effective doses of the rutin on them were 1 and 100μg/ml, respectively. The maximal effective dose of rutin certainly inhibted the productions of iNOS, NO, TNF-α mRNA, TNF-αand p-NF-kB from the LPS-treated macrophages (p〈0.0001). Its ED50 for inhibition of TNF-α mRNA and p-NF-kB was 5μg/ml, and for iNOS, NO, and TNF-α was 10μg/ml. The rutin did not have any cytotoxic effect. As the results, the Sophora japonica rutin could be a good candidate for an anti-inflammatory action.
