  • Ten healthy wome 2-~25 years participated in a 5-week metabolic study to investigate the daily riboflavin requirement of Korean women. Three daily menu and meal patterns were used. Low riboflavin(LR) diet provided riboflavin at a level of 0.71mg / 1000Kcal based on food composition table. High riboflavin(HR) diet provided 1.14mg / 1000Kcal. The riboflavin status was assessed by erythrocyte glutathione reductase activity coefficient(EGRAC) and urinary exretion of riboflavin. Mean EGRAC of LR period and HR period were 1.17+0.08 and 1.01+0.03, repectively. There were discrepanices of riboflavin content of experimental diet between chemical analysis and calculation by Korean food composition table. Urinary riboflavin excretion of subjects was acceptable over the whole study period. It appeared that 0.71mg / 1000Kcal is requirement of riboflavin to maintain EGRAC withing normal range. Thus, it is suggested that current recommendation of 0.6mg / 1000Kcal of riboflavin intake may not be adequate as RDA level in Korea.

  • Cyclodxtrin homologues(CDs), produced by cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase(CGTase), were simultaneously partitioned in aqueous two-phase system(ATPS). Partition coefficients of CDs were measured in PEG/dextran systems. Phosphate, citrate, sulfate were tested as salt. ATPS of PEG/salt and PEG/dextran had the partition coefficients of the CDs, larger than unity. However, PEG/dextran system was observed better than PEG/salt as CGTase activity decreased sharply with salt concentration. Enzymatic rection occurred mainly in PEG-rich bottom phase because of the low partition coefficient of CGTase. The resulting CDs transferred to the PEG-rich top phase, obeying the diffusional partition. In the ATPS of 7% PEG(M.W.40, 000), 7mg/ml of CDs were obtained in top phase at 4.5 hours.

  • The study was carried out to evaluate the characteristics of biodegradation by Pseudomonas putida G7 in soil column. The reactor system was used to investigate mass transfer of VOCs as Toluene in a column of unsaturated soil. Determination of the fate of VOCs in unsaturated soil is necessary to evaluate the feasibility of natural attenuation as a VOCs remediation strategy. The objective of this study was to develop a mechanistically based mathematical model that would consider the interdependence of VOC transport, microbial activity, and sorptive interactions in a moist, unsaturated soil. Because the focus of the model was on description of natural attenuation, the advective VOCs transport that is induced in engineered remediation processes such as vapor extraction was not considered. It can be concluded that the coefficient for gas liquid mass-transfer was found to be a key parameter controlling the ability of bacteria to VOCs. Finally, it appeared that bioremediation technology of VOCs which are difficult to be decomposed by chemical methods.

  • Effects of phenobarbital pretreatment on the pharmacokinetics of enterohepatic recirculating griseofulvin were investigated by comparing normal to bile duct cannulated rats and also the effects of enhanced endogeneous bile flow on the absorption of griseofulvin were studied by means of in situ recirculation method in phenobarbital-pretreated rats. Phenobarbital was administered orally for five days at the dose of 75 mg/kg/day. The influence of phenobarbital pretreatment on the absorption rate constant, area under the plasma concentration-time curve, maximum plasma concentration of orally administered griseofulvin was not found in bile duct cannulated rats. Decreased absorption clearance and apparent partition coefficient of griseofulvin in accordance with the amount of endogeneous bile juice seemed to be due to the decrease of thermodynamic activity of griseofulvin as bile forms the micelle with griseofulvin.

  • Health care has attracted a lot of attention, recently due to an increase in life expectancy and interest in health. Various biometric data of the user are collected by using the air pressure sensor, gyro sensor, acceleration sensor, and heart rate sensor to perform the Smart Health Care Activity Tracker function. Basically, smartphone application is made and tested for biometric data collection, but the Arduino platform and bio-signal measurement sensor are used to confirm the accuracy of the measured value of the smartphone. Use the Google Maps API to set user goals and provide guidance on the location of the user and the points the user wants. Also, the basic configuration of the main UI is composed of the screen of the camera, and it is possible for the user to confirm the forward while using the application, so that accident prevention is possible.

  • This study was designed to describe the management of menopause of the climacteric-women. The subjects of this study were 95 climacteric-women in Taejon city. The instrument used for this study was Management of Menopause Scale developed by Song(1997). The data were collected from December 1997 to June 1998. The data were analyzed by using the SPSS(PC+) program. The information was obtained by use of Mean, Standard Deviation, Pearson correlation coefficient and ANOVA. The results were as Follows; 1. Among the categories of management of menopause, dietary management($3.74{\pm}1.25$) was the highest and management of exercise and activity ($3.35{\pm}0.93$), self contorl($3.13{\pm}1.21$), management of professional health maintenance($2.75{\pm}1.32$), management of sex life($2.11{\pm}1.92$) were in order. 2. On considering the relationship between the climacteric-women's management of menopause and their general characteristics, age(r=-0.38, P=0.00) and educational background(F=4.8247, P=0.00) were statistically significant.

  • The dried fruit-body of Daedaleopsis tricolor was extracted by the petroleum ether. The extracts were purified by liquid-liquid extraction, column chromatography, and recrystallization. The purified compound was a colorless orthorhombic crystal form. Its melting point, molecular weight and molar extinction coefficient $(\varepsilon)$ were estimated $168-170^{\circ}C$, 424 and 3,935 at 208 nm, respectively. Its structure was elucidated to be 20(29)-lupen-3-one by UV-Vis, FT-IR, NMR and X-ray crystallographic analysis. It showed antifungal activities against Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Microsporum gypseum, and antibacterial activities against Escherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas pyocyanea, Bacillus subtilis, and Staphylococcus aureus. In addition, this compound showed an antioxidative activity on lipid-peroxidation by 6.4%.

  • In this paper, scrubber modeling and optimization works have been performed for the removal of ethanol contained in the feed nitrogen gas. Ethanol content at scrubber top gas stream was reduced to 20 ppm in mole by contacting counter-currently with water as a solvent. Some of the liquid withdrawn at the scrubber bottom stream has been recycled to the scrubber in order to reduce the amount of waste water.

  • To elucidate the influence of nitrogen application rate on cool tolerance at the booting stage and respiratory activity of anther at the heading stage in the rice plants, the relationships among nitrogen content in the leaf blade and leaf sheath+culm at young microspore stage, cool tolerance at the booting stage and respiratory activity of anther at the heading stage were investigated for 3 rice cultivars-Yeomyungbyeo, Unbongbyeo and Milyang 23. Nitrogen content in the leaf blade at the young microspore stage was negatively correlated with respiratory rate of anther at the heading stage and fertility index, respectively. Respiratory activity of anther at the heading stage with 10ppm nitrogen application was higher than that of anther with 100ppm nitrogen application. On the Arrhenius plot of respiratory activity of anther at the heading stage, Yeomyungbyeo and Unbongbyeo showed a break at 18$^{\circ}C$ and 18.5$^{\circ}C$, respectively, with 100ppm nitrogen application, but did not show a break in respiratory activity of anther with 10ppm nitrogen application, while Milyang 23 showed a break at 20.5$^{\circ}C$ and 21$^{\circ}C$ with 10ppm and 100ppm nitrogen application, respectively. The highest correlation coefficient between fertility and respiratory rate of anther at the heading stage was shown at 20$^{\circ}C$ in the temperature range of 15$^{\circ}C$-30$^{\circ}C$.
