Quantitative gas chromatographic method for determining the ant repellent activity of cineol, ${\alpha}$-terpineol, linalool, and piperitone which usually found in Chinese Prickly Ash Zanthoxylum piperitum DC. was developed. These monoterpenes showed higher ant repellent activities than DEET due perhaps to their volatility. Gas chromatographic method quantified the volatility of the four monoterpenes and DEET.

Transaminase has been a popular methods in the clinical laboratory for the diagnosis of particular diseases. The methods we are familiar with should be considered further on the serum states provided on the test to be done. (serum freshness, temperature and duration preserved) I have studied transaminase activities of the serum preserved under frozen (-10$\circ$C), refrigerated (4$\circ$C) and room temperature conditions. At a given interval those activities of serum are measured and then the results are compared with the optical density and calculated for the standard deviation and percent variation (Table 1. & Fig. 1.) G.O.T. activity is maintained decreased at a relatively constant rate from 2nd day to 14th day preservation under frozen and refrigerated but its activity variation at 25$\circ$C are far greater than the above conditions throughout the test periods. Elevated G.P.T. level of serum compared with G.O.T. are remained at any temperature and duration. Unless the determination of amino acid level study can not ruled out clearly.

The expression of a pullulanase gene in Pichia pastoris was investigated. The gene encoding pullulanase was cloned by PCR using the chromosomal DNA of Bacillus naganoensis as the template. The expression vector pPIC9K-Pu was constructed by inserting the pullulanase gene into plasmid pPIC9K and then transformed into Pichia pastoris SMD 1168 by electroporation. Activity determination, SDS-PAGE, and PCR amplification indicated that the gene of the pullulanase from B. naganoensis had successfully been expressed in SMD 1168 and the molecular size of the expressed recombinant product was about 119.9 kDa. This is the first report on the successful expression of the pullulanase from B. naganoensis in P. pastoris. The transformant secreted recombinant pullulanase with the activity of 350.8 IU/ml in shake-flask culture. The properties of the recombinant pullulanase were characterized.

In the course of screening for nitric oxide inhibitors in activated microglial BV-2 cells, cyclo(dehydrohistidyl-L-tryptophyl) was isolated from solid-state fermentation cultures of an unidentified fungal strain, Fb956. Its structure was determined by spectroscopic methods including 2D NMR and chiral TLC analyses. Cyclo(dehydrohistidyl-L-tryptophyl) was found to have an inhibitory activity on nitric oxide production with an $IC_{50}$ of $6.5\;{\mu}M$ in activated BV-2 cells. The structure determination and biological activity of cyclo(dehydrohistidyl-L-tryptophyl) was reported for the first time in this study.

Biological determination of Pivampicillin hydrochloride was examined and an available method has been established. Unhydrolyzed Pivampicillin hydrochloride has no antibacterial activity, but it exhibits an antibacterial activity hydrolyzed with liberation of ampicillin by nonspecific enzymes present in blood and tissues from various species in vitro and in vivo. Using these properties, Pivampicillin hydrochloride can be determined as ampicillin by use of an agar-diffusion method with Bacillus subtilis as the assay organism.

Pasteurella haemolytica is well known to cause severe pneumonia, consolidation and oedema of the lung, and fibrinous pleurisy under the stress and infection of virus in the cattle. In the course of our screening for antimicrobial agents against P.haemloytica, compound 51086 has been isolated from the fermentation broth of Streptimyces sp. 51086. The compound 51086 was purified by SiO2, Sephadex LH-20 and ODS column chromatographies and HPLC, subsequently. The structure of compound 51086 was determined as hygromycin A by combination of 1H NMR, 13C NMR, HMBC, and ESI-MS. This compound showed significant antibacterial activity against P.haemolytica and P.multocida.

Alismatis Rhizoma has been used as diuretics and antiphlogistics in the Chinese oriental medicine. A trypsin inhibitor was isolated from Alismatis Rhizoma using DEAE ion exchange column, trypsin affinity column, and FPLC chromatography, and its activity and characteristics were studied. The purifed Alismatis Rhizoma trypsin inhibitor (ARTI) was estimated to be about 22 kDa. The sequence determination on N-terminal amino acid residues and 84 amino acid residues has been completed, yet no homology has been found with trypsin inhibitors reported at NCBI. ARTI did not show inhibitory activities on chymotrypsin and elastase, however it exhibited a significant inhibitory activity on bovine trypsin, and formed a complex with rat liver 10-formyltetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase.

Effects of dammarane glycosides of Panax ginseng on primary cultured chicken embryonic brain cells were studied by microscopic observation and determination of the activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHC). Brain cells were prepared from the brain of 10-day-old chicken embryo and cultured with either a standard medium consisted of 85% Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM), 10% horse serum and 5% chicken embryonic extracts or a deficient medium consisted of 90% DMEM and 10% horse serum. It was observed that dammarane glycosides of Panax ginseng seemed to show the tendency to stimulate the neurite outgrowth of brain cells which were cultured with a deficient medium under microscopic observation. The activity of PDHC in brain cells cultured with a deficient medium was increased by dammarane glycosides of Panax ginseng.

Chlorophyll a and b, pheophytin a and b and $\beta$-carotene, crude chlorophylls and carotenoids (CCC) extracts of mustard leaf kimchi were isolated by DEAE-sepharose CL-6B and Sepharose CL-6B colume and TLC. The effects of chlorophyll a and b, pheophytin a and b and $\beta$-carotene on linoleic acid autoxidation were examined by the determination of peroxide value and conjugated dienoic acid content. Among them, chlorophyll a showed greater antioxidative activity than others, followed by chlorophyll b, pheophytin a, pheophytin b and $\beta$-carotene. Degradation of pheophytin b was observed to be slower than others and $\beta$-carotene showed highest degradation level during the autoxidation reaction of linoleic acid.

S. fradiae showed the highest acetanilide p-hydroxylation activity in the tested strains. And S. fradiae was well characterized genetically, especially with respect to tylosin production. Two mutants, which lost hydroxylation, were isolated in 140 regenerated colonies from protoplasts. In restriction enzyme digesion of total DNAs, isolation of giant linear plasmid DNA and determination of antibiotic resistances to chloramphenicol, tylosin, hygromycin B and mitomycin C, any differences among mutants and a wild type strain were not detected. These facts suggest that lesion on 6, 000 Kb chromosomal DNA was responsible for the lack of p-hydroxylation activity induced by protoplast formation and regeneration.
