This study was conducted to investigate the characteristics of sponge cake quality added with different levels of Schizandra chinensis powder. Schizandra chinensis sponge cake was prepared with different levels of Schizandra chinensis (0, 5, 15, 20%). The proximate composition contents of Schizandra chinensis powder were analyzed as composed of 8.732% moisture, 10.25 crude protein, 8.63 crude lipid, and 1.98 crude ash. Results show that the baking loss rate was decreased with levels of Schizandra chinensis powder added, and the height was decreased as the Schizandra chinensis powder increased. As added ratio of Schizandra chinensis powder increased, L and b values were decreased. In addition, the texture properties result showed that the hardness and cohesiveness of sponge cake increased as the Schizandra chinensis powder added, while springiness decreased. Last, the sensory evaluation showed that the group of 5% Schizandra chinensis powder had the highest preference scores. Therefore, Sponge cake added with 5% Schizandra chinensis powder add gave the better taste and quality to sponge cakes in this study.

We have examined In order to compare each other from explosion and combustion characteristics about the dusts which collects from manufacturing process of wheat flour and cosmetics manufacturing process of functional Keratin removal soap at the small and medium enterprise style. We measured explosive pressure and explosive lower limit which follows in change of concentration change at the time of talc addition uses Hartman dust explosion apparatus, also measured weight loss and endothermic quantity uses DSC and TGA. The explosion test results show that increased explosive lower limit concentration and explosive pressure decreased by the increased ratio of the talc dust. And the DSC results show that heat flux and temperature decreased by the increased ratio of the talc dust. Also increased in raising temperature causes initial smoldering temperature to move towards low temperature section and the endothermic quantity increased on a large scale. Together the TGA results show that weight loss decreased by the increased ratio of the talc dust. From this research we have assured the successive dust explosion mechanism study will play a key role as a significant safety securing guideline against the dust explosion.

This study was performed to investigate the effect of Brassica rapa (BR) sprouts on weight reduction and cholesterol-lowering action in rats fed high fat diet for 4 weeks. Weight-matched male Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned to four groups according to dietary fat levels (10% or 20% of diet wt.). Experimental groups were normal diet group (N), high fat diet group (HF), high fat diet with 5% BR sprouts powder group (HF-BRL), and high fat diet with 10% BR sprouts powder group (HF-BRH). The body weight gain was increased in HF group, but gradually decreased to the corresponding level of the N group fed BR sprouts powder. The concentrations of serum LDL-cholesterol, atherogenic index and cardiac risk factor tended to decrease in the BR sprouts powder fed groups compared with the HF group. However, HDL-cholesterol concentration in serum decreased in the HF group and markedly increased in the BR sprouts powder fed groups. Concentrations of triglyceride and total cholesterol in liver were also markedly decreased in the BR sprouts powder fed groups. Triglyceride concentrations of epididymal and mesenteric adipose tissues in the BR sprouts powder fed groups were also decreased compared with the HF group. These results indicate that BR sprouts powder may reduce fat accumulation and body weight, and have cholesterol-lowering effect.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the resistance to degradation of four commercial composite resins-Prodigy(Kerr, USA), Vitalescence(Ultradent, USA), Z 250(3M, USA), Filtek flow(3M, USA)- in an alkaline solution. Resistance to degradation was evaluated on the basis of following parameters: (a) mass loss(%), (b) Si loss(ppm), (c) degradation depth($\mu}m$). The results were as follows: 1. There was no significant difference between Prodigy and Vitalescence, also Z 250 and Filtek flow. But, there was significant difference between former group and latter group. 2. The sequence of the degree of degradation layer depth was in descending order by Z 250, Filtek flow, Prodigy, Vitalescence. There was significant difference among the materials. 3. The sequence of the Si loss was in descending order by Filtek flow, Z 250, Prodigy, Vitalescence. There was significant difference among the materials. 4. The correlation coefficient between mass loss and degradation layer depth(r=0.714, p<0.05), mass loss and Si loss(r=0.770, p<0.05), and degradation layer depth and Si loss(r=0.930, p<0.05) were relatively high. 5. When observed with SEM, destruction of bonding was observed between resin matrix and filler. 6. When observed with CLSM, degradation layer depth of composite resin surface was observed.

The goal of this study was to evaluate the anti-obesity effect of radish leaf extracts (MU-C) and radish leaf extracts with 3% citric acid (MU-CA) in a high-fat diet (HFD)-induced C57BL/6 mice. The effects of radish leaf extracts on adipogenesis were also investigated using 3T3-L1 adipocytes. As determined by Oil red O staining, MU-C inhibited adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Four-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were fed an HFD for 6 weeks and then treated with radish leaf extracts (500 mg/kg, p.o.) for 6 weeks. Then, the serum levels of Aspartate aminotransferase, Alanine aminotransferase, Total cholesterol, Triglyceride and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in the mice were measured using an automatic chemical analyzer and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Administration of MU-C significantly reduced the fat weight when compared with HFD controls. As confirmed by histopathologic analysis, adipose tissue size markedly decreased in mice treated with MU-C. Therefore, this study could provide a basis for investigating the clinical use of MU-C as an agent for preventing obesity.

Biodegradable wafers were prepared with poly (L-lactide-co-glycolide) (50 : 50 mole ratio of lactide to glycolide, molecular weight:5000 g/mole) by direct compression method for the sustained release of nifedipine to investigate the possibility of the treatment of hypertension. PLGA wafers were prepared by altering initial drug/polymer loading ratio, wafer thickness, and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) content. These wafers showed new zero-order release patterns for 11 days, and various biphasic release patterns could be obtained by altering the composition of wafers such as addition of matrix binder as HPMC to the PLGA wafer to reduce release rate of initial phase. The onset of polymer mass loss only occured after 4 days and about 40% of mass loss was observed after 11 days nifedipine release. This system had advantages in terms of simplicity in design and obviousness of drug release rate and may be useful as an implantable dosage form.

This study was performed to evaluate the anti-obesity and lipid-lowering effects of phytoplant diets in rats fed with a high-fat/cholesterol diet (HFCD). Experimental diet formulae contained various phytoplants such as brown rice, barley, soybean, germinated brown rice, malt, black bean, sea tangle, and/or dietary fibers including polydextrose, garcinia combogia, glucomannan, ${\small}L$-carnitine, and chitosan. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed with a HFCD for 6 weeks and then fed with a HFCD with/without phytoplants for another 6 weeks. Rats fed with phytoplant diets showed lower body weights, liver weights, visceral fat levels, and blood lipid levels compared to those of rats fed with HFCD alone. In addition, rats administered phytoplant diets showed increased daily feces production during the second experimental phase. These results suggest that phytoplant diets improve body weight, feces production, adipose tissue weight, and lipid metabolism.

The effect of dietary selenium on the activity of $\delta$-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALAD) inhibited by the administration of lead were investigated in rats. The levels of dietary lead in the acetate form were 0(contro)200, 1, 000, 2, 000 and 5, 000ppm. Except control group four-level of lead diet groups were again subdivided into two depending on with and without 0.5ppm selenium supplementation. Sixty-three 40-day-old male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 141$\pm$5g were distributed into total of nine diet groups according to RCB design and fed ad libidum for 4 weeks. Lead dietary groups did not show any significnat difference in food intake from the control group. Food efficiency and weight gain were lower in 2.000ppm and 5, 000ppm lead groups but not found in selenium supplemented ones. Hemoglobin contents hematocrit values ALAD activities in blood were significantly decreased and urinary aminolevulinic acid(ALA) excretion increa-sed with increasing dietary lead levels but partly restored by selenium supplementation. however only in 200, 1, 000 and 2, 000ppm dietary lead groups. On the other hand the hepatic ALAD activites of all four lead groups were recovered 19-30% from suppression by selenium supplementation. It was concluded that selenium administration alleviated lead toxicity in rats.

전기방전에 대한 shed 재료의 열화내성과 우수한 발수성의 장기간 유지특성은 폴리머 애자의 장기성능에 있어서 가장 중요한 인자들이다. 애자 제조시 무결점 성형성 또한 중요한데 열화내성을 확보하기 위해 다량의 ATH의 첨가가 수반되기 때문에 적절한 process oil의 사용이 불가피하다. 사용하는 오일의 종류와 량에 따라 옥외절연물의 장기성능에 영향을 주는 표면발수성이나 방전내성은 크게 차이가 나는 것으로 밝혀지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 화학적 구조와 정도가 다른 몇 가지 실리콘 fluid들을 실리콘 고무에 처방하여 기본물성과 초고압 옥외절연물의 shed 재료로서 장기성능에 영향을 주는 방전열화내성과 표면발수성의 회복특성을 평가하였다. 실리콘 고무의 무결점 사출성형에 가소도가 중요한데 동일한 무기물 첨가조건에서 유사한 가소도를 갖게 하는데 필요한 량은 fluid들의 종류에 따라서 상당한 차이가 있었다. 특히 PDMS는 점도는 낮지만 분자량이 커서 많은 량이 첨가되어 기계적 특성저하가 크게 일어났다. 코로나 처리후 발수성 회복특성은 fluid들의 분자크기와 반응기의 종류에 따라 상당히 영향을 받았으며 분자가 클수록 초기회복속도는 다소 느려도 최종의 상시발수성은 다소 높게 유지되었으며 2일 이내에 거의 초기 접촉각으로 회복되었다. 내아크성은 무게손실이 적을수록 오차범위도 작은 안정된 특성을 보였으며 fluid들의 종류에 따른 무게손실의 차이는 크지 않았다. 트래킹 방전에 의한 무게 감소는 fluid의 분자가 크면서 페닐기를 가진 fluid들이 첨가된 고무가 우수한 특성을 보였다.

Effects of raw soy flour(RSF) and RSF with magnesium supplementation(RSF+Mg) feeding on lipid metabolism and serum glucose concentration of diabetic and nondiabetic rats were studied. Male rats(Sprague-Dawley, body weight $332.8\pm19.3g)$ were assigned to four dietary groups and fed for 4 weeks. For each experimental diet some rats were injected with streptozotocin in intraperitonium (i.p.) to induce diabetes, and other rats were injected with buffer i.p. as a nondiabetic group. The diabetic rats fed diets of control, RSP and RSF+Mg showed significant body weight decrease(-67~-79g) compared with nondiabetic group. Pancreas weights in diabetic RSF and RSF + Mg groups were heavier than those of the control and nondiabetic groups. , Fasting serum glucose level of diabetic RSF and RSF+Mg groups significantly decreased by 73 and 44% compared with the diabetic control group, but they significantly increased by 77 and 111% compared with the nondiabetic group. Serum triglyceride, phospholipid and total cholesterol concentration of diabetic RSF and RSF + Mg groups significantly decreased compared with the diabetic control group. Serum HDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterolitoal cholesterol ratio and liver total cholesterol were not affected by RSF and RSP+Mg feeding, Liver total lipid and triglyceride concentration were significantly lower in diabetic groups than those in the nondiabetic group. The results indicated that RSF and RSF+Mg feeding did not produce hyperlipemia and somewhat improved the glucose levels in diabetic rats.
