고양이 말초혈액 다형핵백혈구 (PMN)의 유주활성에 있어서 계난백유래물질 (EWD)의 면역증강 효과를 검토하였다. PMN의 유주활성은 EWD 그 자체 및 EWD로 배양한 PMN의 배양상층액에서는 활성이 존재하지 않았다. 그러나 EWD로 배양한 MNC 배양상층액에서는 PMN에 대한 유주활성이 증가되었다. 본 활성은 checkerboard assay를 통해 진성 유주활성으로 밝혀졌다. 이러한 고양이 PMN 유주활성은 human recombinant interleukin-8(hr IL-8)에 의해서도 증가되었다. IL-8의 또 다른 특성인 세포 형태변형 실험에서도 EWD로 배양한 MNC의 배양상층액과 hr IL-8 모두에서 높은 수준의 세포 형태변형효과를 나타내었다. 이와 같이 EWD로 배양한 MNC의 배양상층액과 hr IL-8 모두에서 증가된 PMN의 유주활성 및 세포변형효과는 anti-human IL-8mAb에 의해 농도의존적으로 억제되었다. 이상의 결과로부터 EWD는 고양이 PMN의 유주활성에 있어서 면역증강 효과가 있으며, 이것은 EWD에의해 활성화된 MNC에서 분비되는 IL-8양 유주성 인자에 의해 PMN의 유주활성 증가 및 세포 형태 변형이 일어나는 것으로 사료되었다.

양파 조미액으로부터 ACE 저해활성 물질을 분리하기 위해 hexane, ethylether, ethylacetate, butanol과 물로 분획시, 4.8g의 당 함량과 31.9 mg의 phenol성 물질을 함유한 butanol 분획이 82.1%의 ACE 저해활성을 나타내었고, 70.3%의 ACE 저해활성을 보인 양퍄 조미액보다 높은 저해활성을 보였다. Butanol 분획을 Amberite XAD-2column으로 분리한 결과, ACE 저해활성을 보이는 미흡착 분획(F1)를 얻었다. 활성분획 F1을 Sephadex LH-20column으로 분획한 결과, 4개(F1-1,F1-2,F1-3,F1-4)의 분획을 얻었으며, 이중 F1-3 분획의 ACE 저해활성은 93%로 가장 높은 저해활성을 보였다. Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography에 의해 얻어진 활성분획F1-3을 Supercosil LC-18 column을 이용하여 분리한 결과, 6분대에서 ACE 저해활성을 가지는 단일 peak(F1-3a)를 얻었다. 각 정제 과정에서 얻은 분획들은 전형적인 flavonoid의 band I과 bandII의 피크를 보였다. 또한 ACE에 대한 저해기작은 flavonoid 물질이 보이는 전형적인 비경쟁적 저해양상을 보였다.

Antioxidative activity and inhibitory activity of angiotensin I converting enzyme(ACE), aminopeptidase N(APN) and $\alpha$-amylase were investigated in the methanol extracts from 25 fern plants native to Jeju Island, in order to screen the plant species containing bioactive materials for functional foods or medicines. The antioxidative activity was higher in Cytomium fortunei(41.9%) and Rumohra standishii(34.1%) than in leaves of Thea sinensis(30.9%), a small tree for antioxidative beverage. Inhibitory activities of ACE and APN were relatively high in Cytomium fortunei as 26.7% and 28.2% respectively. $\alpha$-Amylase inhibitory activity was higher than 50% in 10 species. Particularly, Cytomium fortunei(87.4%) and Dryopteris erythrosora(71.6%) showed the inhibitory activities higher than those of other form plants. Of 25 fern plants investigated here, Cytomium fortunei showed not only the highest antioxidative activity but also the highest inhibitory activity of ACE, APN and $\alpha$-amylase. It suggests that Cytomium fortunei could be potentially used as a resource of bioactive materials for fuctional foods or medicines.

The examination to find out how the activity of glutamine synthetase (GSA) develop in each wheat leaves during the growth period was carried out. GSA/g FW/leaf were very low at leaf differentiation stage and increased highly several times by unfolding and development of leaf, and declined deeply with the advance of senescence in each leaves. GSA/g FW/leaf were risen gradually from the every lower leaves to the every upper leaves, in consequence activity level and maximum peak per g fresh weight of 7th-flag leaves were two or three times higher than those at the 1st-4th leaves in all of 12 applied nitrogen treatments, thereupon. the highest activities per g fresh weight showed in the 8th leaves. GSA/g FW/leaf was shown two peaks in the 6th-flag leaves and one peak in 1st-4th leaves, respectively. GSA/g FW/leaf (except for senescence leaves) and GSA/plant were increased gradually to the infloresscence emerging stage and were shown the first maximum peak at 13 days before anthesis, then were declined rapidly. to the milk ripe stage (7 days after anthesis). and were shown the second maximum peak at the early dough ripe stage (22 days after anthesis) .

The study was performed using of ethanol and water extracts of Fatsia japonica Decne. et Planch. in anticancer and immune activities. All extracts of 1.0 $g/{\ell}$ concentration were increased in over 60% of the anticancer activites in A549 and MCF7 cells. Root barks inhibited 55%, 74% in A549 and MCF7 cell by adding ethanol extracts of $g/{\ell}$ concentration. The cytotoxicity of human lung nomal cell (HEL299) counted up to about 22% for ethanol extracts of root barks in 1 $g/{\ell}$ concentration. The activity of human immune T and B cells were increased up to $140{\sim}170%$ by adding ethanol extract of the root barks. Increasing trend of secretion of cytokine (IL-6, $TNF-{\alpha}$) from human B and T cell for 5 days cultivation has been abserved. From the results, the anticancer and immune-stimulatory activities of the roots extract were higher than the extracts of other parts.

The purpose of this study was to compare muscular activities according to the mastery of Taekwondo kicking motions with the subjects of 8 demonstration team members and 8 undergraduates in Taekwondo major at University. The muscles mainly used for Taekwondo's front kick, tornado kick, or turning hook kick are total 8 trunk muscles and 8 lower limb muscles of the kicking foot as well as the supporting foot. Analyzing the muscular activities of those areas comparatively, the study has reached the following results. At the front kick, non-experts showed higher lower abdominal muscle, biceps thigh muscle activity of the kicking foot and lateral gastrocnemius muscle activity of the supporting foot but lower 2 spinals muscular activity than experts. At the tornado kick (or turning kick), in the turning motion, experts indicated higher activity in biceps muscle of thigh and spinalis than non-experts whereas in the kicking motion, they didn't show the difference between groups except biceps thigh muscle activity. At the turning hook kick, non-experts indicated higher lateral gastrocnemius muscle activity of the kicking foot and quadricpes femoris muscle activity of supporting foot muscular activity than experts. In summary, experts tend to use their trunk in the turning motion for rapid turning and show rather low muscular activity of their kicking foot. However, non-experts indicate high muscular activity in their kicking foot and supporting foot, which means to maintain balance in the kicking motion, they tend to make use of their lower limb more than trunk muscle, and it leads to an inefficient motion.

In order to understand more clearly the integration between N-assmilation and C-metabolism in relation to N fertilization, a pot experiment with 5 different level of N fertilization(0, 5, 10, 25, 50 mM NO$_3$$_{[-10]}$ ) was conducted in Manchester, U.K. The peas (Pisum sativum L., cv. Early Onward) were sown in vermiculate (5 cm depth) and cultivated for 6 days under temperature controlled dark room conditions ($25^{\circ}C$). The plants received frequent irrigation with a nutrient solution: it was fertilized every 2 days, 3 times a day at 10h, 13h, 16h respectively. Elevated NO$_3$$^{[-10]}$ concentration, the activity levels of NR, NiR, total GS(crude extract), GS$_2$(plastid) in both root and shoot were increased and reached the peak in 5～25 mM, except NiR specific activity which increased its activity continually until 50 mM NO$_3$$^{[-10]}$ treatment. Total activities of GS (crude extract) in both root and shoot became higher than those of GS$_2$(Plastid), and the activity ratios of total GS in the crude extract and GS$_2$ in the plastids were 3.0 to 4.3 in root, but 3.2 to 10.6 in shoot. It was concluded that the reductants and A TP from OPPP itself should be enough to achieve the high rate of NR, NiR, GS$_1$, GS$_2$ in plant root and shoot for reduction or assimilation of nitrogen, but these enzyme activities might be inhibited by an excess of NO$_3$$^{[-10]}$ influx over the reduction capacity.

Surfactants have been extensively considered for decontamination of the subsurface polluted with hydrophobic organic compounds. In order to investigate the effect of molecular structures on the solubilization of hydrophobic organic compounds, solubility enhancement of two PAHs in solutions of three different surfactants-conventional, dianionic, and gemini. The batch experimental results showed that the gemini was the most effective and the dianionic was the least, indicating that organic carbon content of the surfactants was the major factor which determines the sorption capacity of surfactant aggregates in water, unlike some of the previous reports.
