Serum Samples from adult of Korean cattles including 40 females and 20 males were analyzed by sodium salt precipitation and colorimetric method in the purpose of the determination of total serum protein, albumin, globulin, ${\alpha}$-globulin, ${\beta}$-globulin and ${\gamma}$-globulin. The results obtained arc summarized as follows: 1. Mean value of total serum protein showed a slight variation from 7.6%, and its regional and sex differences were not found to be significant. 2. Contents of albumin in serum showed lower level than that of globulin as low level of A/G ratio 0.4 in proportion. 3. Contents of Serum ${\alpha}$-globulin showed 1.4w/v% and $1.51{\pm}0.46$w/v% in each group of female, and $1.31{\pm}0.26$w/v%, in the group of male. 4. Contents of serum ${\beta}$-globulin showed 1.74w/v%, 1.95w/v%, in each group of female, and 1.82w/v% in the group of male. 5. Contents of serum ${\gamma}$-globulin showed 2.32w/v%, 2.30w/v% in each group of female, and 2.30w/v%, in the group of male.

In this study, a read-out integrated circuit (ROIC) that can be applied to a colorimetry-based optical sensor for analyzing total phosphorus and total nitrogen was developed and characterized. The proposed ROIC minimizes the effect on temperature fluctuation, improves sensitivity, and extends the dynamic range by utilizing a dual optical path and feedback control circuit. Using a dual optical path makes it possible to calibrate the output signal of the optical sensor automatically, along with the temperature fluctuation. The calibrated voltage is fed back into the measurement stage; thus, the output current of the measurement is adaptively controlled. As a result, the sensitivity and dynamic range of the proposed ROIC are improved. Finally, a total-phosphorus analysis was conducted by utilizing the ROIC. The ROIC was found to operate stably over a wide temperature range.

A modified hydroxamate method was developed for determination of fat content in milk. Fat globules in milk were destroyed by adding ethanol and diethyl ether, and a homogeneous reaction system was obtained. The homogenate was reacted with hydroxylamine, milk fat formed ferric hydroxamate chelates which had red-purple color, and the ferric hydroxamate chelates was analyzed colorimetrically. This method was simpler than original hydroxamate method and comparable with the Babcock method in accuracy.

A new colorimetric test ($Cariview^{(R)}$) using a new type of pH indicator can reflect the acidogenic potential of plaque bacteria. The objective of this study was to evaluate the correlation between $Cariview^{(R)}$ and the caries experience (measured through the dmft index) of children, and to compare $Cariview^{(R)}$ with Dentocult $SM^{(R)}$. Having obtained informed consent, 135 children less than 6 years old participated in the study. We examined their dmft index, and performed two caries activity tests ($Cariview^{(R)}$ and Dentocult $SM^{(R)}$) according to the manufacturers' instructions. In the results, $Cariview^{(R)}$ showed a moderate correlation with the dmft index (r = 0.43, p < 0.01). $Cariview^{(R)}$ showed a sensitivity of 68.8%, a specificity of 69.2%, and an area under curve of 0.686 in the ROC curve analysis. $Cariview^{(R)}$ had a significant correlation with the children's caries experience and had a slightly better explanatory ability than Dentocult $SM^{(R)}$. Furthermore, $Cariview^{(R)}$ was convenient and easy to use on uncooperative children, and also had an educational effect with its visual colors. It is suggested that $Cariview^{(R)}$ could be used clinically to identify the children susceptible to develop caries and to establish a preventive strategy.

The free, ester and insoluble bound phenolic acids in the extracts from defatted perilla seed flour were isolated and their antioxidative activities were evaluated in comparison with commercial synthetic antioxidants. Total phenolic content of the perilla seed was 0.75% as chlorogenic acid. Each percent ratio of the content of free, ester, and insoluble bound phenolic acid to total phenolic content was 87.5, 7.5 and 5.0% respectively. Chlorogenic acid was identified as a major phenolic acid and a small amount of caffeic acid was also identified in the free phenolic acid extract, but they were not found in soluble ester and insoluble bound phenolic extracts by two dimensional paper chromatography. Each type phenolic extract from 30g of deffated perilla flour showed antioxidant activity similar to that of BHT (0.02%, w/w) in 200g of soybean oil substrate inspite of the difference of each phenolic content.

In order to find out the degree of mercury contamination of common foodstuffs a series of determination was carried out by a highly sensitive activation analysis and the following results were obtained. 1. Polished rice contained 0.050 ppm of mercury whereas rice bran had 0.095 ppm mercury which was found in other grain in lesser degree. 2. Vegetables and fruits also contained $0.035{\sim}0.190\;ppm$ of mercury with relatively small variations from sample except persimmon which had a considerably higher amount of mercury. 3. Soybean sprout contained an unexpectantly high amount of mercury. 4. Of the animal products chicken and egg contained more mercury than the meat.

Anion chromatographic (lC) method was developed for the determination of sulfites infoods. Sulfites refer to sulfur dioxide that was separated from a food sample by addition of acid and heating, and carried into a trapping solution by distillation. The trapping solution was applied to IC system. Sulfites was separated on an anionic separator column, HPIC-AS4A with 0.75mM $NAHCO_3/2.25mM\;Na_2CO_3$ as the eluent and determined by the use of conductivity detector. The recoveries of sulfites added to water, carrot and apple at level of 1 ppm were 99.8%, 91.6% and 83.5%, respectively. The detection limit was 0.2 ppm in the case of a 10 g sample size. All experiment could be finished within 20 minutes

The determination of ADA(adenosine deaminase) activity in pleural fluid is useful in differental diagnosis of pleural effusion. The conventional method of determining ADA activity used by Giusti was influenced by contamination of ammonia. Additionally, because Giusti's method was mannual method a determining the ADA activities in sample, was not easily automated. In 1993, Oosthuizen HM with collegues developed simple kinetic method for determining ADA activity. It was reliable and suiable method for automation. In this study, we have measured ADA activity in 162 patients with various pleural effusion by Hitachi 747 autoanalyser using the Oosthuizen kinetic method for the purpuse of determination of new diagnostic cut-off value for the tuberculous effusion and evaluation of the correlation between the conventional method and new automated method. This new method of an enzymatic reaction involves 2, 6-dichlorophenolindophenol dye(DICP), adenosine, xanthine oxidase(XO), and nucleoside phosphorylase(NP). The results were as follows: 1) The mean pleural ADA activity of the tuberculous effusion was $52.53{\pm}16.43\;U/L$ and significantly higher than that of other groups(p<0.001). If the diagnostic cut-off value of pleural ADA activity for tuberculous effusion is above 30 U/L, the sensitivity is 96% and the specificity is 90%. 2) The mean pleural to serum ADA activity ratio of the tuberculous effusion was $2.29{\pm}0.96$ and it was also significantly higher than that of other pleural groups(p<0.001). If the diagnostic cut-off value of pleural to serum ADA activity ratio is 1.5, the sensitivity is 80% and the specificity is 88% in the diagnosis of tuberculous pleural effusion. 3) The new kinetic method is correlates well to Giuisti's conventional method(r=0.971). In conclusion, the new kinetic method described is easily automated and seems to be suitable for the routine determination of ADA activity.

녹용의 알려진 약리작용 중에서 녹용의 상용량 투여에 의해 나타나는 것은 강장작용과 창상치유작용이므로 이러한 작용이 진정한 녹용의 효능으로 간주될 수 있으나 이러한 작용을 생물활성 검색법으로 활용하여 녹용의 유효성분을 검색하기에는 재현성과 간편성이라는 면에서 어려운 점이 없지 않다. 녹용의 효능이 생체의 질소평형이 음의 방향으로 진행되었을 때 이를 정상 수준으로 복귀시키는 생물활성에 기인할 것이라는 가정하에서, 실험적으로 생체내 질소편형을 음의 방향으로 전환시킬 수 있는 급성기 반응 (acute-phase responce)을 야기시킨 다음 녹용의 효과를 연구하였다. 흰쥐의 급성기 반응물질 (acute-phase reactants, APR) 중에 서 positive ARP인 ceruloplasmin, $\alpha$-cysteine pretense inhibitor(= T-kininogen)는 비색정량법으로 간편하게 측정될수 있음에 착안하여 이 단백질을 지표로 삼아 turpentine oil로 급성 염증을 유발시킨 전후에 녹용 물추출액의 효과를 측정하였다. 그 결과 녹용의 상용량에서 괴소 4일 이상 경구투여한 흰쥐에서 급성 염증유발 후 4일에서 ceruloplasmin 의 혈중농도가 현저히 감소함을 알수 있었다. 급성 염증 유발후 녹용의 경구투여한 실험에서는 적어도 녹용 상용량의 3배 이상을 투여하여야 만 ceruloplasmin 혈중 농도를 감소시킬 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 수립된 생물활성을 이용하여 녹용의 유효 성분을 단리할 계획이다.
