Cordyceps militaris L. (C. militaris) has been traditionally used as tonic medicine for metabolic syndrome. Cordycepin, has been reported with immunomodulatory, antitumor, and hepatoprotective effect, is the main extract from C. militaris. This study was conducted to evaluate the alcohol degradation and hepatoprotective effect of cordycepin-enriched C. militaris extract (CM) powder in chronic and binge ethanol (ethanol Lieber-DeCarli diet)-fed male C57BL/6 Mice. Cordycepin-enriched C. militaris extract powder was orally administered once daily at dose levels of 0, 125, 250, and 500 mg·kg^-1·day^-1 for 16 days. For evaluating alcohol degradation, ethanol concentration and alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) activity were measured in serum. Serum ethanol (EtOH) concentration was decreased at CM treated groups, and the activities of ADH and ALDH were increased dose-dependently at CM treated groups compare to EtOH model group. In clinical chemistry, the values of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were lower in CM treated groups than those in EtOH model group. Additionally, absolute and relative (to body weight) liver weights were statistically decreased in the CM treated groups compared to the EtOH model group. In conclusion, our study showed that cordycepin-enriched C. militaris extract powder exhibits hepatoprotective effect by upregulating the ADH and ALDH enzyme in an alcoholic liver disease model.

A series of tests was performed to determine a threshold concentration of water-soluble organic permeant(ethanol) for permeability to be increased in clay and to estimate long-term permeability behaviors, effects of overburden pressure and compaction conditions on permeability in clay. Results of study are as follows ; 1. A threshold concentration of water-soluble organic permeant(ethanol) in clay was about 7O~8O% and its dielectric constant was 40, and dielectric constant seems to be closely related with absolute permeability. 2. Permeability of long-term tests was more or less larger than that of short-term tests. 3. Overburden pressures applied for a long time elapsed have little effects on the restriction of permeability increase. 4. Since water content has no effects of compaction capability when it is compacted with OMC or wet side of OMC, its permeability is to be estimated as same level of dry side of OMC. 5. Clays matured in the humid chamber are increased in permeability 2 times larger than unmatured ones. Thixotropy, therefore, should be considered in the design procedures because field conditions of construction would be quite similar to this..

An attempt has been made to investigate the possible occurrence of aflatoxins, a group of micotoxin which are toxic metabolites produced by Aspergillus flavus, and aflatoxin like substances in fungal fermented soybean products such as meju and soybean paste. Chloroform extracts from 15 samples which has been defated with petroleum ether are subjected to separations with thin-layer chromatography on silica gel washed with methanol prior to film coating, improves the chromatographic separation and ultraviolet absorption spectral identification. In addition to fluorescencing spot having an Rf value which is same as aflatoxin $B_1$, many of the fluorescencing spots have been occurred in every sample examined. Each fluorescencing spot is scratched and the ethanol extracts are subjected to further separation with thin-layer chromatography. Each fluorescence substance is eluted with ultra violet transparent absolute ethanol and the ultraviolet absorption spectra are checked. None of the absorption curve of eluates shsow accordance with the curve of aflatoxin. 2, 4-Dinitrophenyl hydrazine reagent, Tollen's reagent and ninhydrin reagent are applied on the chromatogram- The data show that aflatoxin is not present in any of the fungal preparations examined.

Optically pure(-)-and (+)-$\alpha$-hydroxy-$\alpha$-(p-chlorobiphenyl)acetic acids were prepared. The racemate was synthesized through three steps. By condensation of p-cnorobiphenyl with diethyl ketomalonate in the presence of SnCl$_{4}$, diethyl $\alpha$-hydroxy-$\alpha$-(p-chlorobiphenyl)malonate (1) was formed and subsequently ($\pm$)-$\alpha$-hydroxy-$\alpha$-(p-chlorobiphenyl)acetic acid (3) was obtained through hydrolysis and decarboxylation. For the separation of the racemate the classical resolution method, derivatization of a racemate by reaction with an optically pure compound was employed. In this case the optically pure compound were [R]-(+)-$\alpha$-methylbenzylamine and [S]-(-)-$\alpha$-methylbenzylamine. Diastereomeric salts between acids and bases could be easily separated by crystallization in absolute ethanol.

A sensitive spectrophotofluorometric method was developed for the analysis of 2[[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]amino]-3-phridine carboxylic acid (I) in urine. The method is based on the fluoroscence behavior of the I-aluminum complex in absolute ethanol. This fluorophore has activation and emission wavelengths of 355 and 450 nm, respectively. Optimum conditions for the reaction were investigated. The fluorescence was linear in the range of 0.25 3.0 ug of I/ml. Replicate studies of spiked urine samples, each containing 2.5 ug of I/ml showed good precision with a relative standard deviation of 0.019. Overall recovery percent from five spiked urine samples was 99.4 $\pm$1.32%.

Multiple rugate structures can be etched on a silicon wafer and placed in the same physical location, showing that many sharp spectral lines can be obtained in the optical reflectivity spectrum. Porous silicon samples were prepared by electrochemical etch of heavily doped p-type silicon wafers. The etching solution consisted of a 3:1 volume mixture of aqueous 48% hydrofluoric acid and absolute ethanol. Galvanostatic etch was carried out in a Teflon cell by using a two-electrode configuration with a Pt mesh counterelectrode. A sinusoidal current density waveform varying between 51.5 and $74.6mA/cm^2$ is applied. The anodization current was supplied by a Keithley 2420 high-precision constant current source which is controlled by a computer to allow the formation of PSi multilayer.

To develop new COX-2 inhibitors, 1,5-diarylhydantoins and 1,5-diaryl-2-thiohydantoins were synthesized from phenylacetic acids by esterification, bromination, C-N bond formation and cyclization. Esters 1-3 were efficiently synthesized from the starting materials by reflux in absolute methanol for 3 h containing concentrated sulfuric acid as catalyst. Bromination was carried out with N-bromosuccinimide at rt in dichloromethane. Bromides 4-6 were reacted with aniline, p-anisidine, sulfanilamide in ethanol (or N,N-dimethylformamide) to provide the amines 7-15. Hydantoins and 2-thiohydantoins 16-46 were synthesized from amines 7-15 by treating them with potassium isocyanate (or potassium thiocyanate) and triethylamine. The synthetic process from alkyl α-anilinophenylacetate 7-15 to 3-alkylhydantoins was carried out in a one-pot reaction using alkyl isocyanate (alkyl isothiocyanate).

In a preliminary screening of the plant extracts for the antigastritic action in rats, the extract of Aralia elata(Araliaceae) showed positive activity in HCI plus ethanol induced gastric lesion. Systematic fractions with hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate and butanol resulted in the most patent activity with the butanol fraction: This butanol fraction at the oral dose of 200 mg/kg exhibited significant inhibition of absolute alcohol induced gastric lesion which was more potent than 100 mg/kg of cimetidine and had significant stimulation of mucus secretion. The butanol fraction showed significant decreases in the ulcer indices of Shay ulcers and inhibition of gastric juice secretion with acid output in pylorus-ligated stomachs of rats. It also suppressed the acetic acid induced gastric ulcer. These results might suggest that the butanol fraction had inhibitory action in gastric lesion and ulceration through inhibition of gastric acid secretion and stimulation of mucin secretion in the stomachs of rats.
