Background: Bioprostheses for cardiovascular surgery have limitations in their use following as calicification. ${\alpha}$-galactosidase epitope is known as a stimulant of immune response and then shows a progressing calcification. The objective of this study was to evaluate histologic characteristics and mechanical properties of decellularization and treated with ${\alpha}$-galactosidase. Materials and Methods: Bovine pericardial tissues were allocated into three groups: fixation only with glutaraldehyde, decellularization with sodium dodesyl sulfate and decellularization plus treatment with ${\alpha}$-galactosidase. We confirmed immunohistological characteristics and mechanical properties as fatigue test, permeability test, compliance test, tensile strength (strain) test and thermal stability test. Results: Decellularization and elimination of ${\alpha}$-gal were confirmed through immunohistologic findings. Decellularization had decreased mechanical properties compared to fixation only group in permeability (before fatigue test p=0.02, after fatigue test p=0.034), compliance (after fatigue test p=0.041), and tensile strength test (p=0.00). The group of decellularization plus treatment with ${\alpha}$-galactosidase had less desirable mechanical properties than the group of decellularization in concerns of permeability (before fatigue test p=0.043) and strain test (p=0.001). Conclusion: Favorable decellularization and elimination of ${\alpha}$-gal were obtained in this study through immunohistologic findings. However, those treatment including decellularization and elimination of ${\alpha}$-gal implied the decreased mechanical properties in specific ways. We need more study to complete appropriate bioprosthesis with decellularization and elimination of ${\alpha}$-gal including favorable mechanical properties too.

The determination of $\alpha$-pyrrolidone in ginseng extract by gas liquid chromatography (GLC) was established. $\alpha$-Pyrrolidone in extract was tentatively identified by comparison of the relative retention time of sample peak with those of reference compound and coinjection noted peak enhancement. The .alpha.-pyrrolidone peak elimination was demonstrated by formation of oxime when treated with excess of NH$_{2}$OH ${\cdot}$ HCl and NaOH, allowed to stand at room temperature for 5 minute. The elimination was also observed when samples were treated by the same procedure. The above method was proved to be useful for the determination of $\alpha$-pyrrolidone in ginseng extract and in ginseng extract mixed with 51 plant extracts.

${\alpha}$,${\alpha}$-Dibromovalerophenone and ${\alpha}$,${\alpha}$-dichlorovalerophenone were prepared and their photochemical behaviors were investigated. The former gives C-Br cleavage products and the latter gives mainly the Yang photocyclization products upon irradiation. The reactivity of the chlorine substituted ketone turned out to be quite different from that of ${\alpha}$,${\alpha}$-difluorovalerophenone which gives both the cyclization and elimination products from the 1,4-biradical intermediate.

Gas-Phase reactions of methyl and ethyl nitrites with anionic nucleophiles of SH-, F- and OH- are investigated theoretically at the MP2/6-311+G* level. The SN2 processes are all highly exothermic and proceed with a typ-icaI double-weIl reaction coordinate profile. The elimination reactions of methyl nitrite with SH- and F- are double-well energy surface processes,with stabilizedproduct complexes of NO-...H2S and NO-...HF, pro-ceeding by an E1 cb-like E2 mechanism. The $\beta-elimination$ of ethyl nitrite is an E2 type process. The $\alpha-elimi-nation$ reactions of methyl and ethyl nitrites with OH- have triple-well energy profiles of Elcb pathway with an $\alpha-carbanion$ intermediate which is stabilized bythe vicinal $nc\alpha-{\sigma}*o-N$ charge transfer interactions. CompIex-ation ofmethyl carbanion with HF seems to provide a stable intermediate within a triple-well energy profile of El cb channel in the reaction of F- with methyl nitrite.

It is known that hydantoin derivative can be synthesized according to the method of Bucherer-Bergs, which employs the interaction of the carbonyl compounds with potassium cyanide and ammonium carbonate in dilute alcohol solution. In a converting study of .alpha.-dietylaminoacetophenone with KCN and ($NH_{4})_{2}CO_{3}$ to hydantoin, the attempted 5-diethylaminomethyl-5-phenylhydantoin was not formed. In this reaction diethylaminomethly group was unexpectedly eliminated and 5-phenylhydantoin was obtained, instead of the anticipated compound.

The reactions of alkanesulfonyl chlorides with pyridines in the presence of various solvents have been studied by means of kinetic method. Alkanesulfonyl chlorides bearing ${\alpha}$-hydrogen with the normal attack of pyridine is found to be at the ${\alpha}$-hydrogen with elimination to form the sulfene intermediate evidently. From the mass spectra by the reaction of ethanesulfonyl chloride with 3-picoline in the presence of methanol-$d_1$, it has shown that the reaction has a witness favorable to the slulfene intermediate.

An $\alpha$-D-galactosidase ($\alpha$-D-galactoside galactohydrolase, EC 3. 2. 1. 22) from earthworm was purified by affinity chromatography using N-$\varepsilon$-aminocaproyl-$\alpha$-D-galactopyranosylamine coupled to sepharose and its properties were examined. The specific activity of the purified enzyme, tested with p-nitrophenyl-$\alpha$-D-galactopyranoside as substrate, was 314 units/mg protein, representing an 122-fold purification of the original crude extract. The final preparation obtained from by Sephadex G-25 chromatography showed a single band on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The molecular weight was determined to be 48,000 by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The purified galactosidase was showed maximum activity at pH 4.5 and 4$0^{\circ}C$, and was stable in the pH and temperature ranges from 4.0 to 5.5 and 30 to 5$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. The enzyme activity was inhibited by Zn2+, Hg2+ and Co2+. When the purified $\alpha$-galactosidase treated to guar gum for 6 hour, gel-promoting property was increased. It was clear that enzymatic elimination of galactose from guar gum by purified $\alpha$-galactosidase would lead to a significant increase in gelation ability.

The high position condition 10 escape which the obesity person appeals. Obesity Pattern-Identification question it will yell and 243 subjects which to the obesity in the patient of 517 subjects which draw up correspond. (longitude obesity 153 person, altitude obesity 90 person) against it analyzes. In order to analyze the reliability of the items which diagnose each Pattern-Identification it used Cronbach alpha coefficient and escape it did the alpha of each item. Alpha value of each Pattern-Identification than appears more highly the item which it will be able to consider an elimination in the item which decreases a reliability. In that phlegm-retention syndrome is bigger alpha coefficient 0.784 than 'meal quantity is few'(0.787) a possibility of seeing in the item which decreases a reliability to the place where it diagnoses it puts in phlegm-retention syndrome.
