Recombinant $\beta$-glucosidase from Thermus caldophilus GK24 was easily purified partially by a heat treatment procedure, resulting in 8-fold and recovery yield of 80% from crude enzyme. When the $\beta$-glucosidase was incubated with a 80% glucose solution (w/w), gentiobiose ($\beta$1,6-glucobiose) was the major product in the reaction mixture. The optimal conditions for producing gentiobiose (11% yields of total sugar) were pH 8-9 and 7$0^{\circ}C$ for 72 h.

Objectives : The present study was designed to determine the effects of mixture of Achyranthis Japonicae Radix, Scutellariae Radix, and Acanthopanacis Cortex on monosodium iodoacetate (MIA)-induced osteoarthritis in rats. The mixture was composed of Achyranthis Japonicae Radix, Scutellariae Radix, and Acanthopanacis Cortex extracts. Methods : Arthritis was induced by injection of MIA into knee joints of rats. At the end of experiment, gross examination on the articular structures of knee joints were performed. Proteoglycan (PG) contents in articular cartilages were analysed as well. Tumor necrosis $factor-{\alpha}$($TNF-{\alpha}$) and $interleukin-1{\beta}$ ($IL-1{\beta}$) contents in synovial fluids were measured by ELISA method and matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2), MMP9, and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase 1 (TIMP1) mRNA were measured by a realtime PCR. Results : The surfaces of the articular cartilage were observed. The severity of osteoarthritis in the treated group were alleviated compared with control group. PG contents in articular cartilages of the treated group were increased compared with control group. $IL-1{\beta}$ contents in synovial fluids of the treated group were significantly decreased compared with control group. MMP2 and MMP9 mRNA contents in articular cartilages were significantly decreased compared with control group and TIMP1 mRNA contents were increased compared with control group. Conclusions : On the basis of these results, we concluded that Achyranthis Japonicae Radix-containing mixture treatment has anti-arthritic effects on the MIA-induced osteoarthritis in rats. And the effects were related with the reduction of $IL-1{\beta}$ in synovial membranes and the consequent reduction of MMP2 and MMP9 expressions.

생리활성이 우수한 발효홍삼농축액 특유의 쓴맛과 발효과정 중 생성된 신맛 등의 이미를 개선하기 위해 ${\beta}$-, ${\gamma}$-cyclodextrin(CD) 혼합시료를 이용하여 이미를 포접시켜 관능평가와 ginsenoside Rb1 및 총산도를 분석하고 최대 포접효율을 나타내는 ${\beta}$-, ${\gamma}-CD$ 혼합시료의 농도를 반응표면분석 중심합성법으로 계획하여 기호성이 증진된 발효홍삼농축액을 제조하는 최적화 조건을 확인하였다. ${\beta}$-, ${\gamma}-CD$ 혼합시료를 이용한 쓴맛 포접 효과를 확인한 결과 예측된 정상점은 최저점으로 ${\beta}-CD$가 3.74%이고 ${\gamma}-CD$ 20.63%일 때 쓴맛이 2.07로 최소값을 나타내었다. Ginsenoside Rb1 포접 효과를 확인한 결과 예측된 정상점은 최대값으로 분석한 결과 ${\beta}-CD$가 3.47%이고 ${\gamma}-CD$가 19.89%일 때 ginsenoside Rb1이 96.75%로 최대값을 나타내었다. ${\beta}$-, ${\gamma}-CD$ 혼합시료를 이용한 신맛 포접 효과는 ${\beta}-CD$가 9.34%이고 ${\gamma}-CD$ 7.96%일 때 신맛이 5.63으로 최소값을 나타내었다. 젖산의 포접 효과는 ${\beta}-CD$가 16.00%이고 ${\gamma}-CD$ 13.18%일 때 젖산의 포접효율이 67.73%로 최대값을 나타내었다. 실험 결과를 중심으로 최적 조건을 중첩시켜 ${\beta}-CD$와 ${\gamma}-CD$의 함량을 달리하여 발효홍삼농축액의 이미를 줄이기 위해서는 신맛의 포접 정도는 6, 쓴맛 포접 정도는 4, 산의 포접 정도는 65%, ginsenoside 포접 정도는 95%로 하는 조건을 만족하는 영역으로 ${\beta}-CD$와 ${\gamma}-CD$의 첨가량은 ${\beta}-CD$가 10%이고 ${\gamma}-CD$가 13%임을 알 수 있었다.

PTMSP-PEI 복합막과 PTMSP-Silica-PEI 복합막을 제조하고, 막의 특성을 FT-IR, GPC, SEM 등을 사용하여 조사하였다. PTMSP-Silica-PEI 복합막은 silica의 함량이 23∼60 wt%로 증가하면서 입자의 크기는 점차 작아지고 입자의 분포는 균일하게 되었다. PTMSP-PEI 복합막과 PTMSP-Silica-PEI 복합막에 의한 $H_2$/$N_2$ 혼합기체분리는 $25^{\circ}C$, $\Delta$P 5 psi∼30 psi 범위에서 조사되었다. PTMSP-PEI 복합막과 PTMSP-Silica-PEI 복합막들의 수소에 대한 분리인자($\alpha$, $\beta$, (equation omitted)) 값은 투과셀의 압력이 증가할수록 그리고 silica의 함량이 증가할수록 증가하였다. $25^{\circ}C$, $\Delta$P 30 psi에서 PTMSP-PEI 복합막의 수소에 대한 $\alpha$, $\beta$, (equation omitted) 값은 2.28, 1.58, 1.44이고 silica 60 wt%인 PTMSP-Silica-PEI 복합막의 수소에 대한 $\alpha$, $\beta$, (equation omitted) 값은 3.34, 1.95, 1.72 이었다.

Trichoderma sp. FJ1의 cellulase 생산을 위한 배지조성의 검토에서, 질소원으로서 0.1% bacto peptone을 사용하였을 때 생산성이 향상되었으며, 순수 상업용기질인 avicel과 섬유소 폐기물인 볏짚의 혼합배양에서 높은 효소생산성이 얻어졌다. 경제적인 효소생산성을 위한 기질로 섬유소 폐기물의 농도와 혼합비를 검토한 결과, 1%농도에서 볏짚과 펄프를 50:50으로 사용했을시 CMCase, xylanase, ${\beta}-glucosidase$, avicelase는 24.3, 38.7, 1.5, 0.6 U/ml가 얻어졌다. 이러한 효소생산성은 타 보고서의 결과보다 동등이상의 우위를 보여주고 있으며 섬유소 폐기물의 생물학적 당화기술에 크게 기여하리라 사료된다.

$\beta$-Sitosterol, campesterol and stigmasterol have been known to the phytosterols the most frequently found in plants. Metabolism of phytosterols was investigated using rat feces and liver microsomes. Feces were collected after phytosterols (a well characterized mixture of $\beta$-sitosterol 40%, campesterol 30% and dihydrobrasicasterol) were administered orally (0.5 ${g/kg$) to rats. Metabolites of phytosterols were identified using GC/MS. Three peaks were eluted at 12.47, 12.65, 12.87 min and had characteristic molecular ions m/z 428, 430, 432, respectively. Three fecal metabolites were identified as androstadienedione, androstenedione, and androstanedione. No metabolites could be detected in the rat liver microsomal reaction mixture. The results suggest that the metabolites of phytosterols in rat feces are formed by oxidation at 3- position, saturation at 5- and 6- position, and 17- side chain cleavage in the rat large intestine.

The methanolic extract of the marine sponge Raspilia hirsute collected from Keomun Island resulted in three types of sterols: a mixture of (24S)-Poriferasta-5, 25-diene-$3\beta$, 24-diol and (24R)-Stigmasta-5, 25-diene-$3\beta$, 24 -diol (1), 25,26,27-Trinorcholest-5-en-$3\beta$,24-diol (2), and Pregn-5-en-20-on-$3\beta$-ol (3). The isolation and structural determination of these sterols are reported here. Compound 1 showed moderate cytotoxicity against human Leukemia cell line K562.

The crude ethanol extracts (stem and fruits), their fractions and two triterpenes, $\beta$-Amyrin and 12-Oleanene 3$\beta$, 21$\beta$-diol, isolated as a mixture from the chloroform soluble fraction of an ethanolic extract of Duranta repens stem, were evaluated for antibacterial, antifungal activities by the disc diffusion method and cytotoxicity by brine shrimp lethality bioassay. The structures of the two compounds were confirmed by IR, $^1H$-NMR, $^{13}C$-NMR and LC-MS spectral data. The chloroform soluble fraction of stem and ethanol extract of fruits possess potent antishigellosis activity and also exhibited moderate activity against some pathogenic bacteria and fungi but the isolated compound 1 (mixture of $\beta$-Amyrin and 12-Oleanene 3$\beta$, 21$\beta$-diol) showed mild to moderate inhibitory activity to microbial growth. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of the extracts (stem and fruits), their fractions and compound 1 were found to be in the range of 32$\sim$128 ${\mu}g/ml$. The chloroform soluble fractions of stem and ethanol extract of fruit showed significant cytotoxicity with $LC_{50}$ value of 0.94 ${\mu}g/ml$ and 0.49 ${\mu}g/ml$, respectively against brine shrimp larvae.

A mixture of acylglucosyl sterols together with ${\beta}-sitosterol$, ${\beta}-sitosterol\;3{\beta}-O-glucoside$ and fatty acids was isolated from the roots of Caragana chamlagu as their acetate forms and the structure elucidated by chemical and spectroscopic means. The major acylglucosyl sterol was ${\beta}-sitosteryl\;3-O-[6'-O-oleoyl]-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$ while the minor components were $6'-O-palmitoyl-\;and\;6'-O-stearoyl-{\beta}-D-glucosyl$ sitosterol congeners. The isolation and structure elucidation of these acylglucosyl sterols are reported for the first time from the genus Caragana.

This paper proposes new parameterizations of the tilted beta binomial distribution, obtained from the combination of the binomial distribution and the tilted beta distribution, where the beta component of the mixture is parameterized as a function of their mean and variance. These new parameterized distributions include as particular cases the beta rectangular binomial and the beta binomial distributions. After that, we propose new linear regression models to deal with overdispersed binomial datasets. These new models are defined from the proposed new parameterization of the tilted beta binomial distribution, and assume regression structures for the mean and variance parameters. These new linear regression models are fitted by applying Bayesian methods and using the OpenBUGS software. The proposed regression models are fitted to a school absenteeism dataset and to the seeds germination rate according to the type seed and root.
