남해 동부 연안 지역 지하수의 해수 침투 영향을 광역적으로 파악하기 위하여, 202개소의 지하수 시료를 채취하고 수리지구화학적 연구를 수행하였다. 전체 시료 중 14.4%가 500 $\mu\textrm{m}$/cm을 초과하는 높은 EC값을 나타내어 해수 영향을 시사해 주었다. 해수 영향 판단의 또 다른 파라메터로 사용되는 CI/HCO$_3$ 몰비는 전체 시료의 23.3%가 1.3 이상의 값을 나타내었다. 한편, 대표적으로 해수침투 영향 및 인위적 오염의 영향을 각각 반영하는 것으로 알려진 Cl과 NO$_3$의 농도에 관한 누적도수분포도를 작성하여 배경수질군과 오염영향군을 구분짓는 배경치(background concentration)를 구한 결과, 각각 Cl = 22.3 mg/1 및 NO$_3$= 23.1 mg/l로 나타났다. 이 두 파라메터의 농도 분포를 기준으로 하여 채취된 지하수 시료를 크게 4개의 그룹으로 나눌 수 있었다. 그 결과, 자연적 또는 인위적 기원의 오염이 배제된 그룹 1은 전체 시료의 31%, 자연적 오염(해수 영향)을 반영하는 그룹 2는 전체의 24%, 인위적 오염의 영향을 반영하는 그룹 3은 전체의 9%, 해수 영향 및 인위적 오염을 동시에 반영하는 그룹4는 전체의 36%로 나타났다. 또한 그룹2와 그룹4는 대부분 Na-Cl유형으로 진화하는 Ca-Cl유형을 나타내었다. 따라서, 여러 지구화학 방법에 의한 해수 영향 판단 결과는 서로 잘 일치하고 있음을 알 수 있다. 결국, 지구화학적 파라메터를 종합적으로 활용함으로써, 연안 지역 해수침투의 효과적인 파악은 물론 예측 및 방지, 복구에 효과적으로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.으로 토양에서 유동 가능성이 있는 중금속만을 추출하였다. 분석실험은 토양의 Cd2+ 와 Pb2+를 대상으로 행하여졌으며, 여러 토양에서 추출 분석한 결과를 EDTA분석결과와 비교하였다. 실험결과, 중금속은 매우 신속하게 고분자 자성체와 결합하였고, 그 후 자성체를 외부 자장으로 모은 후 산으로 용해시키고, 결합된 중금속은 Graphite furnace AAS로 분석함으로써 빠르고 효율적으로 분석실험을 수행할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 한편, 실험에서 나타난 수치들을 비교 검토한 결과 토양 분석시 sandy soil에서는 자성체를 이용한 분석이 EDTA에 의한 방법보다 더 높은 추출도를 보인 반면, silt 함량이 많은 토양의 경우에서 EDTA분석에서 더 높은 중금속 추출도를 보였다.s 중에서 490nm와 555nm의 복합밴드를 포함하는 OC2 알고리즘(ocean color chlorophyll 2 algorithm)을 사용하는 것이 OC2 series 및 OC4 알고리즘보다 좋은 추정 값을 도출할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.환경에서는 5일에서 7월에 주로 이 충체의 유충이 발육되고 전파되는 것으로 추측되었다.러 가지 방법들을 적극 적용하여 금후 검토해볼 필요가 있을 것이다.잡은 전혀 삭과가 형성되지 않았다. 이 결과는 종간 교잡종을 자방친으로 하고 그 자방친의 화분친을 사용할 때만 교잡이 이루어지고 있음을 나타내고 있다. 따라서 여교잡을 통한 종간잡종 품종육성 활용방안을 금후 적극 확대 검토해야 할 것이다하였다.함을 보이고 있다.X> , ZnCl$_{3}$$^{-}$같은 이온과 MgCl$^{+}$, MgCl$_{2}$같은 이온종을 형성하기 때문인것 같다. 한편 어

Among 27 Bacillus sp. isolated from Meju, a traditional Korean soybean fermented food, a strain MJ-226 was selected due to its strong fibrinolytic activity, and it was identified to be Bacillus subtilis MJ-226 according to morphological and biochemical characterization and sugar utilization. The fibrinolytic enzyme of B. subtilis MJ-226 was maximally produced by cultivating in the Tryptic Soy Broth (TSB) for 24~26 h at $37^{\circ}C$, and the enzymes activity was promoted with adding glucose, fructose, peptone or yeast extract to TSB. The fibrinolytic enzyme was stable at the range of pH from 6.0 to 8.0, and between 35 and $40^{\circ}C$. Also, when the crude enzyme was exposed to various metal ions and chemical inhibitors for 12 h, the enzyme stability was maintained by $MnSO_4$, $CaCl_2$, KCl, and NaCl. However, the stability was destroyed by treatment with $CuSO_4$, $MgSO_4$, $ZnSO_4$, $FeSO_4$, and $BaCl_2$, and the enzyme was unstable in the presence of chemical inhibitors such as iodoacetic acid, leupeptin, phenylmethanesulphonyl fluoride (PMSF), sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), thiourea, trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (CDTA) and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA).

A bacterium producing a fibrinolytic enzyme was isolated from Cheonggukjang. The bacterium was identified as a strain of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens by 16S rDNA analysis and designated as B. amyloliquefaciens HC188. The optimum culture medium appeared to be one containing 0.5% (w/v) maltose and 0.5% (w/v) soytone. Bacterial growth in the optimal medium at $37^{\circ}C$ reached the stationary phase after 27 h of incubation and the fibrinolytic enzyme showed optimum activity at 24 h. The enzyme was purified by 20-80% ammonium sulfate precipitation, CM Sepharose fast flow ion exchange chromatography, and Sephacryl S-200HR column chromatography. Its specific activity was 38359.3 units/mg protein and the yield was 5.5% of the total activity of the crude extracts. The molecular weight was 24.7 kDa and the amino acids of the N-terminal sequence were AQSVPYGVSQIKAPA. The fibrinolytic enzyme activity had an optimum temperature of $40^{\circ}C$ and an optimum pH of 8.0, and the enzyme was stable in the ranges $20-40^{\circ}C$ and pH 6.0-8.0. Enzyme activity was increased by $Ca^{2+}$ and $Co^{2+}$ but inhibited by $Cu^{2+}$, EDTA, and PMSF. It is suggested that the purified enzyme is a metallo-serine protease.

Addition of two different salt mixtures of sodium phosphates, Ca-EDTA, $NaNO_2$ and sodium citrate were investigated for their effects on relative viscosity, textrue, sensory properties of kimchi and solids contents of kimchi and kimchi liquid during fermentation at $4{\sim}3.5^{\circ}C$. The salt mixtures were added into half fermented kimchi with the concentration range of $0.001{\sim}0.01\;M$. The results showed that higher values in viscosity of kimchi liquids were obtained for those fermented at low temperature and with salts mixtures added. The hardness of Chinese cabbage was gernerally increased until pH 4.0 reached and then decreased thereafter for those fermented without salts mixture. However the salts added kimchi showed no decrease and a slightly harder texture measured at the late stage of fermentation. Soluble solids concentration steadly decreased in kimchi liquids for those salts mixture added while those without salts mixture were initially increased followed by slow decrease. Comparison of sensory properties showed that the degree of changes was reduced when salt mixture was added. Higher scores in fresh-sourness and acidic taste, hardness and chewiness in texture and lower moldy odor were obtained when the data was compared for those kimchi having the pH range of $4.0{\sim}4.2$.

알지네이트 하이드로 젤은 해조류에서 추출되는 천연 고분자인 알지네이트가 칼슘 또는 마그네슘 양이온과 이온가교(Ioninc cross linking)를 형성할 때 알지네이트의 고분자 구조가 칼슘, 마그네슘 양이온을 감싸면서 형성되는 고분자이다. 알지네이트 하이드로 젤은 높은 생체적합성(Biocompatibility)으로 인해 세포 재생을 위한 조직공학 및 재생의학, 약물전달 등의 제약 관련 분야에 광범위하게 적용될 수 있는 물질로 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 마이크로 플루이딕 칩을 이용하여 알지네이트 튜브를 제조하였다. 먼저 유동 포커싱 방식(flow focussing)을 유도할 수 있는 PDMS(Polydimethylsiloxane) 마이크로 플루이딕 칩을 제조하였다. 마이크로 플루이딕 칩은 CNC(Computer Numeric Control) milling machine을 이용한 template를 만들고 NOA mold를 이용하여 최종 PDMS 칩을 제작하였다. 튜브를 만들기 위한 마이크로 채널은 내부 채널 ($200{\times}200um$), 중간 채널 ($200{\times}200um$) 및 외부 채널 ($200{\times}200um$)로 구성되며 내부, 중간, 외부의 유체가 합류하는 수집채널은 폭 500 um, 깊이 200 um로 구성되었다. 운반체로는 5%의 acetic acid를 함유한 mineral oil를 이용하였으며 내부의 core flow는 $H_2O$로 하였다. 중간 유체인 2% 알지네이트 프리폴리머는 칼슘 이온의 존재 하에서 젤화 과정이 매우 빠르기 때문에 마이크로 채널 내부에서의 반응을 제어하고 막힘을 방지하기 위해 수용성 복합 칼슘-에틸렌 디아민 테트라 아세트산 (EDTA)을 사용하였다. 본 마이크로 플루이딕 칩에 각각의 유체를 이동시켰을 때, 운반체인 oil phase의 수소이온은 중간 유체인 알지네이트 프리폴리머와의 계면을 통해 확산되어 Ca-EDTA 복합체로부터 칼슘 양이온의 방출을 유발하게 된다. 방출된 칼슘 양이온은 알지네이트 고분자와의 이온 가교를 통해 알지네이트 하이드로 젤을 형성하여, 각 유체의 flow에 따라 알지네이트 튜브를 쉽고 빠르게 제조 가능하였다. 본 연구에서 제조된 알지네이트 튜브는 인체 내 장기간 약물 전달을 위한 나노섬유로 활용하거나 인공혈관을 구성하는 extracellular matrix로 활용될 잠재력을 가지고 있어 추후 활발한 연구개발이 진행될 예정이다.

The in vitro guinea pig ureter responded to 5 sec trains of electrical stimuli with two contractions; the first an 'on response' (ON) occurred with $0.1{\sim}0.3$ sec after the onset o the stimulus train, the second an 'off response'(OFF) occurred $0.2{\sim}1.0$ sec after the termination of the stimulus train. Relaxation occurred between the two responses during a time when the stimulus was still being delivered. Longer duration and/or higher frequencies of stimuli within the train were required to elicit the OFF than the ON. Decreasing temperature from $37^{\circ}$ to $22^{\circ}$ decreased ON amplitude and increased OFF amplitude. $Ca^{++}$-free solution, 2 mM EDTA, 1 mM $Mn^{++}$ or $1{\mu}M$ verapamil rapidly abolished ON. OFF persisted when ON had disappeared by repeated stimulation at 0.12 train per sec. Conversely, caffeine, $50{\mu}M$ and theophylline, $10{\mu}M$ abolished OFF with only slight reduction of ON, and sodium nitroprusside decreased preferentially ON amplitude rather than OFF. Relaxation between ON and OFF was incomplete in low $Na^+$ solution. ON and OFF were not affected by the neural blockers tetrodotoxin, atropine or phentolamine, also pyrilamine and methysergide, and relaxation between ON and OFF was $Na^+$ dependent. Furthermore, ON depends on free $Ca^{++}$ and OFF is more dependent on bound or stored $Ca^{++}$.

The metabolic disturbance and nephrotoxicity induced by sodium dichromate (20 mg/kg, SC) have been diminished by the administration of Korean red ginseng extract (100 mg/kg, PO). Red ginseng has a powerful potency on the blood urea nitrogen (BUN) increment shown in the early 2h after dichromate intoxication. It normalized the dichromate induced hepatic glycogenolysis. The effect of red ginseng on dichromate induced nephrotoxicity was investigated by hematological analysis, and urinalysis. Ginseng treatment significantly reduced the increases in the urinary excretion of protein and glucose. These effects were dose dependent. Ginseng protected the accumulation of BUN and cretonne in the blood, caused by dichromate intoxication. Unlike CaEDTA, ginseng did not change the urinary excretion chromium. And it could not convert htxavalent chromium to trivalent chromium. These results suggest that ginseng treatment is effective in decreasing the metabolic disturbance, one of the earliest signs of dichromate toxicity, resulting in the protective effect of dichromate induced renal damage.

The effects of kanendomycin on the potassium permeability in the rabbit erythrocyte membrane are investigated and the results are summarized as follows. 1. Kanendomycin causes the efflux of $K^+\;and\;influx\;of\;Na^+$ across the rabbit erythrocyte membrane. 2. Osmotic resistance of kanendomycin treated erythrocytes is diminished. This diminution of osmotic resistance is more pronounced by increasing concentration of kanendomycin and longer incubation time. But osmotic resistance is rather increased in the presence of lower concentration of kanendomycin. 3. Cysteine and glutathione have little influence on $K^+$ efflux induced by kanendomycin. 4. EDTA has no effect on the increase in $K^+$ outflux by kanendomycin while PCMB augments slightly on $K^+$ outflux. 5. Kanendomycin inhibits $Ca^{++}$ binding competitively to rabbit erythrocyte membrane fragments.

Entomopathogenic nematodes are used for insect control. Herein, an extracellular protease was partially purified from a culture supernatant of Xenorhabdus nematophilus, a symbiotic bacterium of an entomopathogenic nematode, Steinernema glaseri: using precipitation with $80\%$ v/v isopropyl alcohol followed by gel permeation chromatography with a packed Sephacryl S-300 HR media. The partially purified protease exhibited maximal activity at pH 7 in the presence of 1 mM $CaCl_2$. The protease was identified as a metallo-protease based on the inhibition of its activity by the metal chelating agent, EDTA.
