Fifty-four sesame oils were assayed for authenticity by measurement of linolenic acid content (which is less than 0.5% by weight in genuine oil). Sesame oils (A-F) from major companies and oils (G-J) extracted from sesame seeds in our laboratory were used as standards for comparison. By fatty acid composition analysis, 33 of 54 samples showed levels of linolenic acid more than 0.5% by weight. In addition, the ratio of linoleic acid to oleic acid (C18:2/C18:1) in samples A-F ranged from 1.05 to 1.12, whereas the 54 collected samples showed a wide range of ratios, from 0.92 to 2.21.

Although recent studies have shown the usibility of [F-18]FDG small animal Positron Emission Tommography (PET) as a functional neuroimaging technique in behavioural small animal study, researches showing the detection power of functional changes in the brain are still limited. Thus, in the study, we performed [F-18]FDG small animal PET neuroimaging in the well-established fear behavioural experiment. Twelve rats were exposed on cat for 30 minutes after the [F-18]FDG injection. As a result, the brain activity in bilateral amygdala areas significantly increased in the fear condition. In addition, the fear condition evoked the functional activities of hypothalamus, which seemed to be related to the response to stress. These clear localization of fear related brain regions may reflect that a functional neuroimaging technique using [F-18]FDG small animal PET has functional detectibility enough to be applied in small animal behavioral research.

$^{18}F-FDG$ PET in combination with conventional imaging modalities could help avoid unnecessary biopsy for the primary mass, and it also has a high diagnostic accuracy in patients with dense breasts. In the assessment of metastasis, $^{18}F-FDG$ PET was useful to select patients who required sentinel lymph node biopsy and to detect extra-axillary lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis. To increase the sensitivity for osteoblastic bone metastasis, bone scintigraphy should be added. In the detection of recurrence, $^{18}F-FDG$ PET showed a higher diagnostic accuracy than tumor marker or computed tomography, and therefore it can be used in routine breast cancer follow-up. $^{18}F-FDG$ PET has been reported that it correctly predicted the response of neoadjuvant chemotherapy on as early as 8th day of treatment. Therefore, it is useful for the early detect of therapeutic response in advanced breast cancer.

This review focuses on the clinical use of $^{18}F-FDG$ PET in small cell lung cancer. For initial staging of small cell lung cancer, $^{18}F-FDG$ PET appears to be better than conventional staging methods. $^{18}F-FDG$ PET seems to be potentially useful for detecting recurrence, restaging and therapy response assessment in small cell lung cancer. However, due to small number of literatures, the role of $^{18}F-FDG$ PET in small cell lung cancer requires further investigations.

The 2D/E gel analysis for polypeptide expression reflecting I-18 C gene (early-ecdysterone inducible gene) has conducted the emerged C. riparius adults from larval phase exposure to tebufenozide acting as an ecdysteroidal molting hormone. Control group, the amount of ORE II of the I-18 C gene was larger than that of ORE I of this gene. After treatments, ORE I of the I-18 C gene was overexpressed as the polypeptide, whereas ORF II of this gene was expressed as the polypeptide and was clearly reduced expression. Accordingly, we consider that tebufenozide exhibited endocrine disruptions related processing of ecdysteroid receptor protein reflecting ORF II of I-18 C gene. Also, earlier emergence day was related overexpressed polypeptide reflecting ORE I of I-18 C gene. In this study result, tebufenozide induced changing of physiological condition, and then polypeptide expression reflecting early-ecdysterone inducible I-18 C gene was different between control group and exposure group.

The interfacial reaction, spangle and coating thickness of galvanized steel in Ni added Zn-0.18Al bath have been investigated. The size of spangle and thickness of reaction layer were observed under an optical microscope, SEM and EDS. Analysing the experimental results concerning spangle size of galvanized steel it was found that Ni addition in Zn-0.18Al bath tended to be minimized spangle size. For Zn-0.18Al bath, addition of 0.1Ni suppressed the formation of Fe-Zn intermetallic compounds but increased with Ni content above 0.1%. The coating thickness of galvanized steel was reduced with Ni addition in Zn-0.18Al bath, especially in Zn-0.18Al-0.05Ni bath. Addition of Al in Ni containing bath resulted in forming the Al-Ni intermetallic compounds such as $Al_3$Ni$_2$ and $Al_2$Ni which consist most of top precipitates.

A simple and efficient synthetic route for making purpurin-18-N-aminoimides is described. The purpurin-18-Naminoimides are obtained by treatment of purpurin-18 methyl ester with various amines. These new compounds have long wavelength absorptions in the range of 706 - 711 nm. In preliminary screening, the purpurin-18-N-aminoimides have shown promising photosensitizing activity for the cancer cell by in vitro study in photodynamic therapy.

Large scale purification to get antifungal antibiotic KRF-001 of 90% purity, was investigated using preparative HPLC. Crude KRF-001 was purified by XAD-7 adsorption chromatography, acid precipitation and microfiltration. Microfiltration was the most effective isolation method of crude KRF-001. The purification methods using C18 chromatography was convenient compared with the conventional methods. Delta PAK C18 column and Bonda PAK C18 column were adapted large scale purification of KRF-001. Gradient system of prep HPLC using Delta PAK C18 column was more effective. With these conditions, final recovery of KRF-001 yielded 77%.

This study was designed to determine the distribution of trans fatty acids (tFAs) isomers of Processed foods commonly consumed in Korea. The tFAs positional isomers were analyzed using GC/MS spectrometer with HP-23 cis/trans FAME, capillary column (50m $\times$ 0.20 mm, id., 0.2 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ film thickness) for 41 food samples. TFAs isomers were identified by comparing retention time with standards and GC/MS spectrum. In margarines, the content of tFAs ranged from 4.0% to 25.16% and the most abundant positional isomer of tFAs was C18:1 $\Delta$9t. In oils and fats, lards contained higher levels of tFAs (5.70~16.54%) than shortenings (6.77~10.55%). Shortenings contained higher levels of C18:1 $\Delta$9t (3.1~5.1%) than lard (1.6~4.3%), but corn oils had no tFAs. In seasonings, mayonnaise had no C16:1 $\Delta$9t, whereas C18:3t was detected. The content of tFAs in confectioneries was wide (16.20~52.16%). Among them, instant popcorns contained the highest amount of tFAs. Milk and dairy products showed even distribution of tFAS such as C18:1t, C18:2t, and C18:3t. Predominant tFAS isomer of condensed milk and ice cream was C16:1 $\Delta$9t. Frozen french fries and fried chicken contained higher levels of C18:1$\Delta$9t (9.4%), whereas grilled pork (jowl) had no C18:1 $\Delta$9t. The amount of tFAs per serving size was the highest in popcorn, followed by frozen pizza, frozen french fries, fried chicken, and bakeries.
