  • The antioxidant activities of two crude extracts ($CH_2Cl_2$ and MeOH) and their solvent fractions (n-hexane, 85% aq. MeOH, n-BuOH, and $H_2O$ fractions) from Corydalis heterocarpa were determined by evaluating authentic $ONOO^-$ and $ONOO^-$ generated from SIN-1 (3-morpholinsydnonimine) in vitro as well as by measuring the degree of occurrence of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO). Scavenging activities of solvent fractions on authentic $ONOO^-$ increased in the order of n-BuOH > 85% aq. MeOH > $H_2O$ > n-hexane fractions, while those on $ONOO^-$ generated from SIN-1 increased in the order of n-BuOH > 85% aq. MeOH > $H_2O$ > n-hexane fractions. In addition, all solvent fractions effectively inhibited the intracellular ROS and NO levels. The n-BuOH fraction especially exhibited the strongest ROS scavenging effect. Further purification of n-BuOH fraction led to the isolation of cnidimoside A, which presented the potent ROS scavenging effect at $10\;{\mu}M$. From these results, extracts of C. heterocarpa and its component, cnidimoside A, were predicted to be potentially useful as ingredients for protecting against oxidation.

  • The antioxidant effects of dichloromethane, ethylacetate or water fraction of kimchi added to the 1% cholesterol diet were studied. Six New Zealand white rabbits in each group were fed either control diet (basal diet containing 1% cholesterol) or experimental diet containing dichloromethane (CH$_2$Cl$_2$), ethylacetate (EtOAc) or water ($H_2O$) fraction of kimchi in the control diet for 16 weeks. The amount of each solvent fraction of kimchi added to the experimental diet was equivalent to 5% of freeze-dried kimchi. Levels of hepatic lipid oxidation expressed as TBARS or peroxide value for the experimental groups were lower than that of control (p<0.05). Liver homogenated of the experimental group containing dichloromethane fraction of kimchi inhibited LDL oxidation in the presence of Cu++ by 46% (p<0.05). The activities of catalase, Glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), Cu, Zn-superoxide (Cu, Zn-SOD) and Mn-superoxide (Mn-SOD) of experimental groups were lower than those of control group. Low enzyme activities observed from the kimchi solvent fraction groups might be due to the level of lipid oxidation progressed less in these groups. The most significant antioxidant effects were observed from dichloromethane fraction of kimchi among the experimental groups. The major fatty acids of hepatic phospholipid of rabbit were C18:2 and C18:0. But the major fatty acid profile was changed into C16:0, C18:0, C18:1, and C18:2 when rabbit was fed 1% cholesterol diet for 16 weeks, and this profile was almost the same as in rabbit fed diet containing kimchi solvent fraction. The ratio for unsaturated fatty acid to saturated fatty acid decreased by cholesterol induced diet and it was not corrected by kimchi solvent fractions.

  • Polycrystalline silicon carbide (SiC) thick films were depostied by low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) using CH3SiCl3 (MTS) and H2 gaseous mixture onto isotropic graphite substrate. Effects of deposition variables on the SiC film were investigated. Deposition rate had been found to be surface-reaction controlled below reactor temperature of 120$0^{\circ}C$ and mass-transport controlled over 125$0^{\circ}C$. Apparent activation energy value decreased below 120$0^{\circ}C$ and deposition rate decreased above 125$0^{\circ}C$ by depletion effect of the reactant gas in the direction of flow in a horizontal hot wall reactor. Microstructure of the as-deposited SiC films was strongly influenced by deposition temperature and position. Microstructural change occurred greater in the mass transport controlled region than surface reaction controlled region. The as-deposited SiC layers in this experiment showed stoichiometric composition and there were no polytype except for $\beta$-SiC. The preferred orientation plane of the polycrystalline SiC layers was (220) plane at a high reactant gas concentration in the mass transfer controlled region. As depletion effect of reactant concentration was increased, SiC films preferentially grow as (111) plane.

  • This study was performed to investigate the disinfection efficiency and the formation characteristics of disinfection by-products(DBPs) by chlorination in the sewage effluent. The effluent was sampled from the sewage treatment plants operated in the activated sludge process and the advanced sewage process. The type of DBPs investigated were Trihalomethanes(THMs), Dichloroacetonitrile(DCAN), Chloral hydrate(CH), Dichloroacetic acid(DCAA), Trichloroacetic acid(TCAA). Major findings are as follows. First, the optimum injection concentration for chlorination in sewage effluent were found to be in the range $0.5{\sim}1.0mg\;cl_2/L$. Also, It was found that the chlorine dosage in the effluent of activated sludge process was higher than in the effluent of advanced sewage process. Second, the maximum formation concentration of THMs were $12.7{\mu}g/L$. The THMs formation reaction was finished in a short time of several seconds and chloroform was mainly formed. Also, it was found that the concentration of ammonium nitrogen is higher, the concentration of THMs is lower. Third, it was found that DCAA and TCAA were mainly formed as DBPs by disinfection.

  • Several bacteria are known as the causal agents of diseases of the cultivated button mushroom(Agaricus bisporus) and oyster mushroom(Pleurotus ostreatus). Pseudomonas tolaasii is the causal agent of brown blotch disease of commercial mushrooms. Pseudomonas sp. HC1 is a potent biological control agent to control brown blotch disease caused by Pseudomonas tolaasii. This can markedly reduce the level of extracellular toxins (i.e., tolaasins) produced by Pseudomonas tolaasii, the most destructive pathogen of cultivated mushrooms. To define the optimum conditions for the mass production of the Pseudomonas sp. HC1, we have investigated optimum culture conditions and effects of various nutrient source on the bacterial growth. The optimum initial pH and temperature were determined as pH 5.0 and $20^{\circ}C$, respectively. The optimal culture medium for the growth of tolaasin inhibitor bacterium was determined as follows: 0.9% dextrin, 1.5% yest extract, 0.5% $(NH_4)_2HPO_4$, 4mM $FeCl_3$, and 3.0% cysteine.

  • This study was conducted to develop an economical optimum medium composition for the mass production of $Lactobacillus$ $plantarum$ and $Lactobacillus$ $reuteri$, livestock probiotics. Medium ingredient factors were selected on the basis of MRS broth composition, and the 15 ingredient variables were as follows: sucrose, glucose, molasses, yeast extract, corn steep liquor, soy peptone, dipotassium phosphate, manganese chloride, magnesium chloride, tween 80, sodium chloride, sodium acetate, ammonium citrate, sodium sulphate, and ferrous sulphate. The Plackett Burman design, consisting of 20 runs, was employed for the analysis of ingredient effects on cell growth of $L.$ $plantarum$ and $L.$ $reuteri$. As a result, sucrose, glucose, molasses, yeast extract, corn steep liquor, soy peptone, sodium acetate, and ammonium citrate positively influenced the growth of $L.$ $plantarum$. Additionally, yeast extract, soy peptone, $K_2PHO_4$, and tween 80 positively influenced the growth of $L.$ $reuteri$. Positive effects were found from sucrose, yeast extract, and soy peptone in the integrated analysis of the effects of both $L.$ $plantarum$ and $L.$ $reuteri$. Finally, effective medium components for both strains were found as follows: sucrose (20.0 g/l), glucose (5.0 g/l), soy peptone (11.0 g/l), yeast extract (5.0 g/l), $K_2PHO_4$ (0.2 g/l), $CH_3COONa$ (2 g/l), and $MgCl_2$ (0.02 g/l).

  • Purpose $[^{11}C]$acetate has been proved useful in detecting the myocardial oxygen metabolism and various malignancies including prostate cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, renal cell carcinoma and brain tumors. The purpose of study was to improve the radiosynthesis yield of $[^{11}C]$acetate on a automated radiosynthesis module. Materials and Methods $[^{11}C]$acetate was prepared by carboxylation of grignard reagent, methylmagnesium chloride, with $[^{11}C]$$CO_2$ gas, followed by hydrolysis with 1 mM acetic acid and purification using solid phase extraction cartridges. The effect of the reaction temperature ($0^{\circ}C$, $10^{\circ}C$, $-55^{\circ}C$) and cyclotron beam time (10 min, 15 min, 20 min, 25 min) on the radiosynthesis yield were investigated in the $[^{11}C]$acetate labeling reaction. Results The maximum radiosynthesis yield was obtained at $-10^{\circ}C$ of reaction temperature. The radioactivities of $[^{11}C]$acetate acquired at $-10^{\circ}C$ reaction temperature was 2.4 times higher than those of $[^{11}C]$acetate acquired at $-55^{\circ}C$. Radiosynthesis yield of $[^{11}C]$acetate increased with increasing cyclotron beam time. Conclusion This study shows that radiosynthesis yield of $[^{11}C]$acetate highly dependent on reaction temperature. The best radiosynthesis yield was obtained in reaction of grignard reagent with $[^{11}C]$$CO_2$ at $-10^{\circ}C$. This radiolabeling conditions will be ideal for routine clinical application.

  • Corrosion resistances in various acids and high temperature oxidation properties have been investigated for the Ni-base superalloy KM 1557. Corrosion tests were performed in $H_2SO_4$, HCl, $HNO_3$, $H_3PO_4$ and $CH_3COOH$. Oxidation tests were carried out in air for 20 and 110hrs at $900^{\circ}C$, $950^{\circ}C$ and $1050^{\circ}C$. Hot corrosion tests were done in salt bath of 75% $Na_2SO_4-25%$ NaCl at $900^{\circ}C$ for 20hrs. After the tests, the samples were observed by optical microscopy and analysed by EPMA and X-ray mapping in order to investigate the distribution of composition. It was shown that corrosion resistances in various acids and hot salt bath were proven to be excellent. It was suggested that the amounts of oxides were determined mainly by the depth of internal and intergranular $Al_2O_3$ oxide layers.

  • Whole plants of Vitex rotundifolia were extracted for 2 days with methylene chloride ($CH_2Cl_2$) followed by extraction of the residue for an additional 2 days. The same procedure was also applied using methanol (MeOH). The two crude extracts were combined and partitioned between $CH_2Cl_2$ and $H_2O$. The organic layer was further partitioned between n-hexane and 85% aq. MeOH, and the aqueous layer was also further fractionated with n-BuOH and $H_2O$, successively. From the 85% aq. MeOH fraction, one compound was isolated through the repeated HPLC. According to the results of physicochemical data including NMR and MS, the chemical structure of the compound was determined as artemetin (1). The antiproliferative effects of the crude extracts, fractions, and compound against HT1080, AGS, MCF-7 and HT-29 human cancer cells were compared with the control by using MTT assay. In the comparative analysis, the 85% aq. MeOH fraction exhibited the strongest antiproliferative effects on human cancer cell lines in a dose-dependent manner (p<0.05). In addition, exposure of compound 1 isolated from 85% aq. MeOH fraction led to strong antiproliferative effect in HT1080 cancer cell lines. These results suggest that the extracts and compound isolated from V. rotundifolia may be used as potential chemopreventive and chemotherapeutic agents.
