Novel polythiol materials of urethane lens series for plastic optical lens were synthesized from polyol materials via thioisouronium of thiourea with c-HCl in refluxing aqueous solution, in which polythiol material was carried out from hydrolysis of thioisouronium by ammonia water. Their structure properties were identified by EA, EI-MS, FT-IR, $^1H\;and\;^{13}C$ NMR spectroscopies and TGA. Their ophthalmic lenses as polythiourethane material were prepared by thermal curing to an injected glass mold using the evenly solutions of diisocyanates series (TDI, XDI, HDI or IPDI) with polythiols. Polythiourethane shows that the strong stretching mode for SH group of polythiol disappeared in FT-IR spectra after thermosetting polymerization. Thermal deformation starting temperature of ophthalmic lenses was determined by TMA. Ophthalmic lenses made from characteristic polythiol and diisocyanate series have transparency, colorless and good impact strength, in which thermal resistance and impact strength of ophthalmic lenses were influenced by diisocyanate series. Physical properties of ophthalmic lens have contrast thermal resistance with impact strength. The property of thermal resistance and impact strength for respective ophthalmic lenses was examined by TMA and drop ball test.

Lysobacter capsici YS1215 isolated from soil previously showed nematicidal potential for biological control of the root-knot nematode. In this study, lactic acid, a nematicidal compound, was isolated from culture filtrate of YS1215, and its ovicidal activity was investigated. Purification and identification of lactic acid were performed by a series of column chromatographies and identified by $^1H$ and $^{13}C$ NMR spectra and GC-MS analysis. Our results showed that bacterial culture filtrate containing lactic acid significantly inhibited egg hatching. The lowest egg hatch rate (5.9%) was found at a high concentration ($25 {\mu}l/ml$) of lactic acid at 5 days after incubation, followed by 20 (15.2%), 15 (23.7%), 10 (29.8%), and $5(36.4%){\mu}l/ml$, while egg hatching in the control (sterile distilled water) was 44.5%. This is the first report of lactic acid as an ovicidal compound, and it may be considered as an alternative of chemical pesticide against root-knot nematodes.

Paeoniae radix has been considered as one of the most important crude drugs used in traditional oriental medicine and has been employed as a circulatory tonic in care of weakness, night sweats, and lumbar pain, etc. Platelet activation plays an important role in thrombosis and haemostasis. Active compounds for the inhibition of platelet activation from Paeoniae radix were extracted and fractionated into five fractions. Its fraction two and three of ethyl acetate extract inhibited the aggregation of washed rabbit platelets induced by collagen. Two active compounds, bezoyloxypaeoniflorin and paeoniflorin, were isolated from fraction two and three by silica gel column and high performance liquid chromatography. The chemical structures were determined by comparison of their proton and carbon nuclear magnetic resonance spectra. Benzoyloxypaeoniflorin showed strong inhibition at the concentration of 100 ug/mL against collagen-induced washed rabbit platelets aggregation. It is suggested that Paeoniae radix has become food material to prevent a cardiovascular disease.

The isomeric intermediates, $3{\alpha}$and $3{\beta}-amino-5{\alpha}-cholestane required for the synthesis of N-nitrosoureas, N-(2-chloroethyl)-N-nitrosocarbamoyl-$3{\alpha}-amino-5{\alpha}$-cholestane (9), N-methyl-N-nitrosocarbamoyl-3${\alpha}-amino-5{\alpha}-cholestane$ (10), N-(2-chloroethyl)-N-nitrosocarbamoyl-$3{\beta}-amino-5{\alpha}-cholestane$: (7), and N-methyl-N-nitrosocarbamoyl-$3{\beta}-amino-5{\alpha}-cholestane$ (8) were obtained through the $LiAlH_{4}$ reduction of $5{\alpha}$-cholestan-3-one oxime, followed by the chromatographic separation: the assignment of the stereochemistry of both isomers were based on the shape and chemical shift of $C_{3}$-proton resonances on their NMR spectra and on the elution mobility on the TLC. The urea intermediates, N-(2-chloroethyl) carbamoyl-3.alpha.-amino-5.alpha.-cholestane (13), N-methylcarbamoyl-$3{\alpha}-amino-5{\alpha}-cholestane$ (14), N-(2-chloroethyl) carbamoyl-$3{\beta}-amino-5{\alpha}-cholestane (11) and N-methyl-$3{\beta}-amino-5{\alpha}$-cholestane (12) were prepared by the treatment of each isomers ($3{\alpha}$-amino-and $3{\beta}-amino-5{\alpha}$-cholestane) with alkyl isocyanates in anhydrous $CHCl_{3}$, and the corresponding nitrosoureas, 7-10 were obtained by the nitrosation of the ureas, 11-14, with AcOH (or HCOOH)/$NaNO_{2}$ in ice-cold condition. The inhibitory activity of the nitrosoureas, 7-10, and their intermediates, 12-14 towards the growth of L1210 murine leukemia cells, were examined. Among them, the compounds 9 and 10 exhibited high activity having $ED_{50}$ to be 5.5g/ml and 6.1g/ml, respectively.

Degradable poly(butylene succinate) (PBS)/poly(TEX>${\varepsilon}$-caprolactone) (PCL) copolyesters were prepared by using transesterification between poly(butylene succinate) and poly(TEX>${\varepsilon}$-caprolactone). The thermal and mechanical properties of copolyesters were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry and tensile testing. Interchange reaction between PBS and PCL molecules could be identified from proton NMR spectra. The reduced viscosity of the PBS/PCL copolyesters increased with reaction time except for a series of PBS/PCL (50/50 wt%) copolyesters. For all the compositions, the melting point and crystallization temperature of high-$T_m$ component (PBS) decreased as reaction time increased. From the results of tensile testing, it was found that stress and strain at break of the PBS/PCL copolymers containing less than 40 wt% PCL improved as compared to those of pure PBS, but at 50 wt% PCL stress at break of PBS/PCL copolymers was lowered due to decrease of crystallinity. On the other hand, Young's moduli of all the copolyesters decreased with both reaction time and PCL content.

The effects of the treatment of an acidic solution at pH 2 on polyacrylonitrile ultrafiltration (UF) membranes were investigated using a circular cross-flow filtration bench with a membrane module. A substantial reduction in the membrane permeability was observed after 80 hours' treatment of the acidic solution. In addition, the analyses of the sample solutions by ultraviolet/visible absorption spectroscopy and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS), which were taken from the feed tank as a function of the treatment time, showed that a new organic compound was produced in the course of the treatment. From a thorough search of the mass spectral library we presumed the new compound to be 1,6-dioxacyclododecane-7,12-dione (DCD), one of the well-known additives for polyurethane. Based on further experimental results, including the scanning electron microscope (SEM) images and the solid-state NMR spectra of the membranes used for the treatment of the acidic solution, we suggested that the decrease of the permeate flux resulted not from the deformation of the membranes, but from the fouling by DCD eluted from the polyurethane tubes in the filtration bench during the treatment. Those results imply that the reactivity to an acidic solution of the parts comprising the filtration bench is as important as that of the membranes themselves for effective treatments of acidic solutions, for efficient chemical cleaning by strong acids, and also in determining the pH limit of the solutions that can be treated by the membranes.

The purpose of this study is to quantitate regional neurochemical profile of regional normal adult mice brain and assess regional metabolic differences by using ex vivo $^1H$ high-resolution magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy ($^1H$ HR-MAS NMRS). The animals were matched in sex and age. The collected brain tissue included frontal cortex, temporal cortex, thalamus, and hippocampus. Quantitative 1D spectra were acquired on 40 samples with the CPMG pulse sequence (8 kHz spectral window, TR/TE = 5500/2.2 ms, NEX = 128, scan time: 17 min 20 sec). The mass of brain tissue and $D_2O$+TSP solvent were 8~14 mg and 7~13 mg. A total of 16 metabolites were quantified as follow: Acet, NAA, NAAG, tCr, Cr, tCho, Cho, GPC + PC, mIns, Lac, GABA, Glu, Gln, Tau and Ala. As a results, Acet, Cho, NAA, NAAG and mIns were showed significantly different aspects on frontal cortex, hippocampus, temporal cortex and thalamus respectively. The present study demonstrated that absolute metabolite concentrations were significantly different among four brain regions of adult mice. Our finding might be helpful to investigate brain metabolism of neuro-disease in animal model.
