The influence of addition of arrow(Pueraria hirsuta Matsum) root flour and its fractions by ultrafiltration on the flow properties of the rice flour-water systems were investigated. The flow properties of rice flour pastes during cold storage$(5^{\circ}C)$ were measured and the components from arrow root flour responsible for changes of flow properties were screened. Addition of arrow root flour significantly changed the flow properties of rice flour pastes. Permeate fractions by ultrafiltration, representing low molecular weight component fraction, significantly affected the flow property of rice flour paste stored at $5^{\circ}C$. Addition of permeate fraction to rice flour pastes rapidly decreased the consistency index, yield stress and pseudoplasticity, and showed a stability of flow property during storage suggesting the retardation of rice starch retrogradation. Permeate fractions of ultrafiltration were identified as puerarin, daidzein and daidzin known to representive isoflavonoid from arrow root.

Juice obtained from premature citrus fruits was deacidified by electrodialysis (ED), and its physicochemical and functional properties were evaluated. Total acidities decreased from 3.15 (Aug), 1.62 (Sep), and 1.45% (Oct) to 2.37 (Aug), 0.86 (Sep), and 0.74% (Oct) by electrodialysis for 100 min, respectively, whereas $^{\circ}Brix$ to acid ratio increased, and pH and color remained almost unchanged. Free sugar content of premature citrus juice remained almost unchanged, while organic acid content decreased significantly. Narirutin and hesperidin contents among flavonoids slightly, but not significantly, decreased. $K^+,\;PO_4\;^{2-},\;SO_42^-,\;and\;Cl^-$ contents decreased by ED, with $K^+$ content showing more than 60% decrease, while $Na^+$ content increased 2.5-3.5 times. Total polyphenol content and electron-donating ability decreased slightly by ED, while nitrite-scavenging ability remained almost constant. Sensory evaluation indicated juice (Sep) subjected to ED processing to $12^{\circ}Brix$ with sugar had the highest preference.

여포액이 여포안에서는 난자의 성숙을 억제하지만 여포액을 일단 여포 밖으로 내어 배양액을 섞거나 혹은 여포액만으로 난자를 배양할 때 난자는 성숙분열을 일으키는 것을 보아 왔다. 저자들은 소의 여포액 내의 성분중 어떤 것 들이 난자 성숙에 유효한 가를 밝히기 위하여 본 실험을 행하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 여포액을 투석하여 얻은 dialysable fraction을 이용하여 난자를 배양하였을 때 높은 성숙율을 얻었다. 반대로 non-dialysable fraction를 포함하는 기본배양액 내에서는 난자의 성숙율은 극히 낮았으며 퇴화하는 경향이 있었다. 둘째, paper chromatography 의 방법으로 dialysable fraction이 포함하는 free amino acid를 조사한 결과 8가지의 amino acid가 동정되었다. 이 amino acid를 기본배양액에 섞어 배양액으로 만들어 난자를 배양했을 때 난자성숙율이 90%이상이었고 제 2차 중기까지 도달한 난자는 30시간 이내에 10% 정도였다. 셋째, 상기의 amino acid가 들어있는 배양액에 다시 biotin를 첨가하여 배양하면 48시간내에 제 2차 분열 중기까지 도달하는 난자가 60%에 이르렀다. 위 결과로 보아 여포액은 in vitro인 경우 난자의 성숙을 유발하며 성숙을 유발하는 주요 성분은 여포액내에 포함되어 있는 몇가지 amino acid와 biotin과 같은 vitamine B가 될 것이라는 결론을 얻었다.

Purpose : Genetic and clinical factors can influence the permeability of the peritoneal membrane. The peritoneal equilibration test (PET) is helpful in measuring peritoneal permeability in peritoneal dialysis (PD). We investigated the influence of genetic polymorphism of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) on the PET parameters. Methods : Pediatric patients who underwent PET within 12 months of initiating PD at Seoul National University Children's Hospital and Samsung Medical Center were selected. The patients with positive history of peritonitis before PET were excluded. The VEGF -2578C/A, -14978T/C, -1154G/A, -634G/C, and +936C/T single-nucleotide polymorphisms were genotyped. Results : The mean 4-hour dialysate-to-plasma ratio for creatinine (D/P creatinine) and the mean 4-hour dialysate glucose to baseline dialysate glucose ratio (D/$D_0$ glucose) were $0.56{\pm}0.13$ and $0.43{\pm}0.11$, respectively. The patients with haplotype CTGGC showed higher 4-hour D/P creatinine ($0.67{\pm}0.12$ vs $0.50{\pm}0.09$, P=0.007) and lower 4-hour D/$D_0$ glucose ($0.35{\pm}0.12$ vs $0.47{\pm}0.08$, P=0.037) than those without haplotype CTGGC. Conclusion : The VEGF genetic polymorphism may influence the peritoneal solute transport.

The purpose of this study was to develop a supplemental healthy food that can help prevent high blood pressure-related diseases caused due to the excessive consumption of sodium in salt. This was achieved by using ion-displacement techniques to produce mineral salt with lower sodium content by using fermented brown rice by-products rich in minerals. Mineral salt containing 2019.2 mg/100 g of potassium, 678.5 mg/100 g of magnesium, 48.7 mg/100 g of calcium, and 19.5 mg/100 g of sodium was obtained by fermenting brown rice by-products to create a culture medium for the mineral salt. Mineral salt containing 1769.7 mg/100 g of potassium, 573.6 mg/100 g of magnesium, 35.3 mg/100 g of calcium, and 19.5 mg/100 g of sodium was obtained by filtering and refining the by-product extract of fermented brown rice. The results showed that when the stream velocity of the instrument used for electrolysis was 200 mL/min and the current and the concentration of the reactive liquid in the purified water chamber were higher, the effect of electrolysis was greater. Ion hot water extraction of the fermented brown rice by-products improved by up to 95% and was collected as purified water within 90 min of the reaction time. Chloride ions with pH 7.4 were produced by mixing sodium hydroxide in a purified saline water chamber with electro-analyzed water. The salt produced in this study contained low sodium, 5.7~30%, as compared to 40% sodium content of the normal salt.

To evaluate the feasibility of electrodialysis for nitrate-nitrogen removal from wastewater, the effect of operating parameters on the removal of nitrate-nitrogen was experimentally estimated. The limiting current density (LCD) linearly increased with the nitrate concentration and the flow rate. The time when the nitrate concentration of diluate reached at 20 mg/L was linearly proportional to concentration of diluate, and the concentration of concentrate did not affect the removal rate. Increase in the flow rate gave a positive effect on the removal rate and became insignificant at How rates greater than 1.6 L/min. The removal rate increased with the applied voltage, but the increment in the removal rate decreased as the applied voltage approached the LCD. From the operation of the electrodialysis module used in this research, the flow rate of 1.6 L/min and the voltage corresponding to the 80~90% of LCD were found be the optimum operating condition for the nitrate removal from highly concentrated nitrate-nitrogen solutions.

Catecholamines, serotonin and their metabolites were measured in the posterior hypothalamus of urethane-anesthetized normotensive Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY) and spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) using brain microdialysis which is a recently developed experimental method to measure the release of neurotransmitters and their metabolites at the localized brain area in vivo. Microdialysis probe was implanted stereotaxically to the rat posterior hypothalamus and perfused by Ringer's solution. Monoamines and their metabolites were quantified by reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection. In vitro recovery test of microdialysis showed that there exist inverse relationship between the perfusion flow rate and the relative recovery of neurochemical compounds. The estimated extracellular concentration of dopamine was about 32 nM, of norepinephrine 50 nM, of epinephrine 50 nM, of serotonin 73 nM, of 3, 4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) 281 nM, of homovanillic acid (HVA) 181 nM, and of 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5HIAA) 3767 nM in the hypothalamic perfusate of the normotensive rat. There was no difference in the basal level of monoamines between the SHR and the WKY. In contrast, the level of DOPAC, HVA and 5HIAA in SHR was higher than that in the WKY, This study demonstrated that the microdialysis technique should be an applicable tool for in vivo measurement of central neurochemical substances.

Peritoneal dialysis has been widely considered to be the dialytic treatment of choice for acute renal failure in infants and young children, because the technique is simple, safe and easily adapted for these patients. Also peritoneal dialysis in infants might have more effective ultrafiltration and clearance than in adults. In certain circumstances associated with hemodynamic instability, ordinary volume peritoneal dialysis(30-50 ml/kg body weight per exchange) or hemodialysis may not be suitable unfortunately. But frequent cycled, low volume, high concentration peritoneal dialysis may be more available to manage the hemodynamically untable acute renal failure of newborns and infants. Seven infants underwent peritoneal dialysis for hemodynamically unstable acute renal failure with low exchange volume($14.2{\pm}4.2ml/kg$), short exchange time(30 to 45 minutes) and hypertonic glucose solution(4.25% dextrose). Age was $1.9{\pm}1.3$ months and body weight was $4.6{\pm}1.6kg $. Etiology of acute renal failure was secondary to sepsis with or without shock(5 cases) and postcardiac operation(2 cases). Catheter was inserted percutaneously with pigtail catheter or Tenkhoff catheter by Seldinger method. Dialysate was commercially obtained Peritosol which contained sodium, chloride, potassium, magnesium, lactate and calcium. Net ultrafiltration(ml/min) showed no difference between low volume dialysis and control($0.27{\pm}0.09$ versus $0.29{\pm}0.09$) Blood BUN decreased from $95.7{\pm}37.5$ to $75.7{\pm}25.9mg/dl$ and blood pH increased from $7.122{\pm}0.048$ to $7.326{\pm}0.063$ after 24 hours of peritoneal dialysis. We experienced hyperglycemia which were controlled by insulin(2 episodes), leakage at the exit site(2), mild hyponatremia(1) and Escherichia coli peritonitis(1). Two children of low volume dialysis died despite the treatment. In our experience, low volume and high concentration peritoneal dialysis with frequent exchange may have sufficient ultrafiltration and clearance without significant complications in the certain risked acute renal failure of infants.
