A series of experiments was conducted to identify the potential of five phytoplankton species as standard test species for marine ecotoxicological tests. The candidate phytoplankton species are Skeletonema costatum, Heterosigma akashiwo, Prorocentrum micans, Isochrysis galbana, and Tetraselmis suecica. Salinity tolerance and sensitivity on potassium dichromate as a reference material were identified. Toxicity of eleven ocean dumped sewage sludges and four red tide expellent extracts were estimated by the inhibition of population growth rates (PGR) of marine diatom S. costatum, While most species revealed relatively weak tolerance on salinity, T. suecica demonstrated the highest salinity tolerance ranged from $5\~35$ psu and the others $15\~35$ psu. H. akashiwo revealed the highest sensitivity as 72h $IC_{50}$=0.76mg/L and T. suecica the lowest as 72h $IC_{50}$=8.89mg/L on potassium dichromate. Sludge extracts from industrial waste, domestic sewage and livestock farm waste sludge showed high toxicity as 72h $IC_{50}$<$2\%$ and lowest toxicity from filtration bed sludge as 72h $IC_{50}$=$30.50\%$ NOEC (No Observed Effective Concentration) of sludge extract ranged from <$0.4\%$ to $1.6\%$ and this indicated high phytotoxicity of ocean dumped sewage sludge. The test sensitivity of phytoplankton PGR inhibition was much higher than those of marine rotifer Brachionus plicatilis mortality test and bioluminescent inhibition test by marine bacteria Vibrio fischeri, and comparable with the sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus intermedius) fertilization test. As a result the phytotoxicity test using phytoplankton PGR inhibition ($IC_{50}$) must be a useful tool for marine phyto-toxicological evaluation of ocean dumped materials.

This study was designed to investigate the anti-tumor effects of fresh carrot juice, methanol-extracts, and $\beta$-carotene on the human lung cancer cell line NCI-H1299. The anti-tumor effect was evaluated by the MTT assay in vitro. The anti-tumor effect of fresh carrot juice against NCI-H1299 lasted up to 96 hours after exposure; the viability rate of lung cancer cells decreased below 50% after 48 hours, and further after 72 hours. The strongest propagation inhibition effect of fresh carrot juice was shown at the concentration of 2000 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ after 72 hours and the viability rates was 45.98% even at the concentration of 25 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$. The value of $IC_{50}$/ was 23.1$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ when the elapsed time was 72 hours. The viability rate of methanol-extract was 52.4% under the concentration of 2000 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ and the elapsed time of 72 hours. Under the concentration of 1000 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ and the elapsed time of 48 hours, $\beta$ -carotene decreased the viability rate to 29.99%. The $IC_{50}$/ value of $\beta$-carotene was 691.2$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ after 72 hours. According to the above results, the anti-tumor effect arose in NCI-H1299 when the concentration of the fresh carrot juice or the $\beta$-carotene was more than 25 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ or 1000 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$, respectively. On the other hand, the methanol-extracts showed a weak anti-tumor effect even at a concentration as high as 2000 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$.

To compare skin irritation and cytotoxicity of anti-wrinkle agents, we examined skin irritation of six anti-wrinkle agents (ascorbic acid, glycolic acid, all trans-retinoic acid, ginseng extract, retinol, EB) in New Zealand white rabbit. Cytotoxicity of these agents was determined by MTT [tetrazolium salt 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide] at multi-time points in cultured HaCaT cell, a human immortalized keratinocyte cell. We then analyzed correlation between skin irritation and cytotoxicity by spearman's rank correlation analysis. All trans-retinoic acid showed the highest primary irritation index (0.92) in skin irritation test. Being all the six agents not irritant, retinal showed the most cytotoxic agents. The correlation between skin irritation and cytotoxicity ($IC_{50}$/ at different time point was 0.814, 0.757, 0.814 and 0.7 at 3, 24, 48 and 72 h, respectively. We also fecund that IC$_{20}$ and IC$_{80}$ of these agents showed similar correlation with skin irritation. These results therefore demonstrated that there is close correlation between skin irritation and cytotoxicity $IC_{50}$/ value by MTT in HaCaT cell at early time points by anti-wrinkle agents or IC$_{20}$ value. $IC_{50}$/ at earily time point or IC$_{20}$ values may be reliable alternative determinant of skin irritation.n.

To our knowledge, this is the first study aiming to optimize the extraction conditions of total phenolic compounds (TPC) and total flavonoids contents (TFC) from Argania spinosa leaves using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) with a Box-Behnken design (BBD). The optimal conditions obtained were 5% (w/v) solvent-to-solid ratio, 72.33% ethanol concentration, and 10h ours as an extraction time, which resulted in an extract with maximum TPC (131.63 mg GAE/g dw) and TFC (10.66 mg QE/g dw). Under the optimal extraction conditions, the antioxidant activity of the extracts of leaves of argan tree showed a moderate antiradical capacity of DPPH (IC₅₀ = 0,130 mg/mL) and ABTS (IC₅₀ = 0.198 mg/mL). However, the leaves of argan tree showed a very interesting reducing power of Iron (IC₅₀ = 0.448 mg/ml) which is similar to that of the ascorbic acid (IC₅₀ = 0.371 mg/mL).

High-temperature Superconductor(HTS) tubes were fabricated in term of different diameter, length and thickness by centrigugal forming method. For powder melting by induction the optimum range of melting temperatures and preheating temperature were $1050^{\circ}C{\sim}1100^{\circ}C\;amd\;550^{\circ}C$ for 30min, respectively. The mould renting speed was 1000rpm. A tube was annealed at $840^{\circ}C$ for 72hours in oxygen atmosphere. The plate-like grains were well developed along the renting direction and typical grain size was about more than $40{\mu}m$. It was found that Ic values increased with increasing the tube diameter while the Ic decreased with increasing tube thickness. Also Ic decreased with increasing the tube length. The measured Ic in $50mm{\times}70mm{\times}25mm$ tube was about 896Amp.

탱자나무(Poncirus trifoliata Rafinesque)는 운향과의 낙엽관목으로 건조된 미성숙 과실은 지실(枳實)이라는 한약 재료로 사용되며, 완숙된 탱자나무의 과실은 지각(枳殼)이란 한약자원의 대용품으로 사용된다. 미성숙된 탱자에 관해서는 항균, 항산화 및 지질저하 효과가 있다고 보고되어 있으나 완숙된 탱자에 대한 생리활성 효능에 대해서는 연구 된 바 없어 이에 본 연구에서는 과피, 과육, 과즙 그리고 씨로 분리하여 물과 에탄올을 용매로 추출하여 생리활성 효능을 측정하였다. 플라보노이드 화합물은 과육에서 20.39 mg/g으로, 과즙 18.72 mg/g를 함유하였으며, 폴리페놀 화합물은 과피의 에탄올 추출물에서 60.54 mg/g, 과피 물 추출물은 45.91 mg/g를 함유하였다. 상이한 농도와 pH 조건에서의 아질산염소거능을 측정한 결과 pH 1.2의 2.0 mg/mL에서 과피 물추출물이 52.27%로 가장 낮았다. Tyrosinase 저해율은 과피에탄올 추출물에서 23.23%였으며, DPPH 라디칼 소거율은 0.5 mg/mL의 농도에서 과피 물 추출물이 약 80%로 $IC_{50}$은 147.73 ${\mu}g$/mL였다. Xanthine oxidase에 대한 저해효과를 $IC_{50}$으로 나타낸 결과 과육 추출물이 대조군이 ascorbic acid (18.68 ${\mu}g$/mL)보다 낮은 18.28 ${\mu}g$/mL였으며, 과피 추출물에서도 비교적 높은 xanthine oxidase 저해율을 보였다. 이상의 결과 탱자나무의 완숙된 과피는 다량의 생리활성 물질을 함유하며 우수한 아질산염 소거능과 전자공여활성을 나타내며, 과육과 과즙은 플라보노이드 함량이 다른 부위보다 높았고 과육에서는 99% 이상의 xanthine oxidase 저해율을 그리고 과즙에서는 전자공여능이 90% 이상으로 기능성 제품의 개발 가능성을 제시하였다.

Western blot을 이용하여 tyrosinase, tyrosinase related protein-1 (TRP-1), TRP-2 단백질의 발현 감소를 확인하였다. 복령피 추출물과 3-$\beta$-hydroxylanosta-7,9(11),24-trien-4-oic acid는 우수한 미백 효능을 갖는 화장품 소재로의 개발 가능성이 클 것으로 기대된다.

For powder melting by induction the optimum range of melting temperatures and preheating temperature were $1050^{\circ}C{\sim}1100^{\circ}C$ and $550^{\circ}C$ for 30min, respectively. The mould roating speed was 1000rpm. A tube was annealed at $840^{\circ}C$ for 72hours in oxygen atmosphere. The plate-like grains were well developed along the roating direction and typical grain size was about more than $40{\mu}m$. It was found that Ic values increased with increasing the preheating temperature and speed of mold rotation. While Ic decreased with increasing the cooling rate. The measured Ic in $50mm{\times}70mm{\times}2.5mm$ tube was about 896Amp.
