This study aimed to develop an optimal processing method for the production of apple-mango jelly for domestic suppliers, by analyzing the quality attributes of the jelly. According to the central composite design, a total of 11 experimental points were designed including the content of apple-mango juice (X₁), and the sugar content (X₂). The responses were analyzed including the color values (CIE Lab and color difference), physicochemical properties (water activity, sweetness, pH, and total acidity), and textural properties (hardness and gel strength). Regression analysis was conducted, except for total acidity, and showed no significant difference for all the experimental points (p<0.05). Quadratic model was derived for all responses with an R square value ranging from 0.8590 to 0.9978. Based on regression model, the appropriate mixing ratio of apple-mango jelly was found to be 31.11% of apple mango juice and 14.65% of sugar. Through this study, the possibility for developing jelly product using apple-mango was confirmed, and it is expected that these findings will contribute to the improvement of the agricultural industry.

Oil fly ash is known as one source of raw materials from which vanadium and nickel metals can be recovered. The current recovery process of valuable metals from oil fly ash is mainly the hydrormetallurgy one. Nevertheless, a great amount about 50~80%, of unburned carbon remains as byproduct after hydrormetallursy process. In Taiwan, if hydrormetallursy processes have proceeded, it can be estimated that the annual production of unburned carbon is 25 thousand tons. From the viewpoint of resource recycling, this study is a preliminary study and investigates in recovery of sub micron- graphitized carbon from unburned carbon by a designed process. The designed process included the following steps: 1.selecting a portion with +400mesh size from unburned carbon; 2.treating the selected in ultrasonic waves; 3.using a 400mesh sieve to obtain the product which is under 400mesh; 4.Removal ash from the product. In regard to treatment by ultrasonic waves in the designed process, treating time of ultrasonic waves is a simple and only variance in this study. The results indicate that the production yields increase with the treating time of ultrasonic waves; the production yield in specific conditions of this study can reach about 23%, in which ash content in product is about 2.5%. According to results of SEM, TEM and XRD, the products from the designed process are flakes in shape, several microns in size and graphitized carbon in carbon crystal phase. Except to graphitized carbon, there are a little carbon blacks, which are graphite 2H in carbon crystal phase in the products. Conclusively, the designed process is possibly applicable, by which comes to the recovery of micron- graphitized carbon.

히알루론산(HA, Hyaluronic acid)은 β-1, 3-N-acetyl glucosamine과 β-1, 4-glucuronic acid가 반복된 선형 폴리머 고분자로서 생물학적 활성 및 생체친화성 특성 때문에 의약 및 약학분야에서 중요한 분자로 여겨지고 있다. 본 연구는 HA을 S. dysgalactiae으로 얻고, 화학적 방법을 통해 황화된 히알루론산(S-HA, Sulfated hyaluronic acid) 유도체를 합성하여 그 구조와 항염증 활성을 비교하였다. HA의 생산은 S. dysgalactiae를 5 l 생물반응기를 이용하여 대량 배양하여 수용성 히알루론산(HA-WS, water soluble hyaluronic acid)과 비수용성 히알루론산(HA-WI, water insoluble hyaluronic acid)을 분리 정제하였다. 특히 HA-WI를 황화시켜 황화된 히알루론산(S-HA) 유도체를 합성하였으며, 그 수율은 90%로 나타났다. 합성된 S-HA의 구조를 FT-IR 및 ¹H/¹³C-NMR를 통해 S. dysgalactiae로부터 생산된 표준 HA, HA-WS 및 HA-WI와 비교 분석한 결과, 황으로 치환된 양상을 확인하였다. 또한, S-HA 의 항염증 활성을 RAW 264.7 대식세포를 통해 확인한 결과, S-HA는 천연 형태의 HA (HA, HA-WS)보다 nitric oxide (NO)와 COX-2 및 PGE₂ 유전자 발현이 유의하게 낮게 발현되었다. 염증 매개 cytokine인 TNF-α (<80 pg/ml) 및 IL-6 (<100 pg/ml)의 생성도 S-HA가 천연 HA보다 낮은 수준으로 정량되었다. 이 같은 결과에서 황화된 S-HA은 천연 히알루론산보다 용해성이 우수하고 염증관련 사이토카인의 생성 억제를 통해 항염증 효과를 나타내므로 염증치료제, 성형 및 생체 적용 약물전달 소재로 그 활용이 기대된다.

Background: Ginseng possesses antitumor effects, and ginsenosides are considered to be one of its main active chemical components. Ginsenosides can further be hydrolyzed to generate secondary saponins, and 20(R)-panaxotriol is an important sapogenin of ginsenosides. We aimed to synthesize a new ginsengenin derivative from 20(R)-panaxotriol and investigate its antitumor activity in vivo and in vitro. Methods: Here, 20(R)-panaxotriol was selected as a precursor and was modified into its derivatives. The new products were characterized by ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR and HR-MS and evaluated by molecular docking, MTT, luciferase reporter assay, western blotting, immunofluorescent staining, colony formation assay, EdU labeling and immunofluorescence, apoptosis assay, cells migration assay, transwell assay and in vivo antitumor activity assay. Results: The derivative with the best antitumor activity was identified as 6,12-dihydroxy-4,4,8,10,14-pentamethyl-17-(2,6,6-trimethyltetrahydro-2H-pyran-2-yl)hexadecahydro-1H-cyclopenta[a]phenanthren-3-yl(tert-butoxycarbonyl)glycinate (A11). The focus of this research was on the antitumor activity of the derivatives. The efficacy of the derivative A11 (IC₅₀ < 0.3 µM) was more than 100 times higher than that of 20(R)- panaxotriol (IC₅₀ > 30 µM). In addition, A11 inhibited the protein expression and nuclear accumulation of the hypoxia-inducible factor HIF-1α in HeLa cells under hypoxic conditions in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, A11 dose-dependently inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of HeLa cells, while promoting their apoptosis. Notably, the inhibition by A11 was more significant than that by 20(R)-panaxotriol (p < 0.01) in vivo. Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first study to report the production of derivative A11 from 20(R)-panaxotriol and its superior antitumor activity compared to its precursor. Moreover, derivative A11 can be used to further study and develop novel antitumor drugs.

Levofloxacin pharmacokinetic profiles were evaluated in 6 healthy female rabbits after intravenous (I/V), intramuscular (I/M), or subcutaneous (S/C) administration routes at a single dose of 5 mg/kg in a 3 × 3 cross-over study. Plasma levofloxacin concentrations were detected using a validated Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography method with a fluorescence detector. Levofloxacin was quantifiable up to 10 h post-drug administration. Mean AUC_0-last values of 9.03 ± 2.66, 9.07 ± 1.80, and 9.28 ± 1.56 mg/h^*L were obtained via I/V, I/M, and S/C, respectively. Plasma clearance was 0.6 mL/g*h after I/V administration. Peak plasma concentrations using the I/M and S/C routes were 3.33 ± 0.39 and 2.91 ± 0.56 ㎍/mL. Bioavailability values, after extravascular administration were complete, - 105% ± 27% (I/M) and 118% ± 40% (S/C). Average extraction ratio of levofloxacin after I/V administration was 7%. Additionally, levofloxacin administration effects on tear production and osmolarity were evaluated. Tear osmolarity decreased within 48 h post-drug administration. All 3 levofloxacin administration routes produced similar pharmacokinetic profiles. The studied dose is unlikely to be effective in rabbits; however, it was calculated that a daily dose of 29 mg/kg appears effective for I/V administration for pathogens with MIC < 0.5 ㎍/mL.

For the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals, chiral alcohols are useful intermediates. Among them, (R)-ethyl-4-chloro-3-hydroxybutanoate ((R)-ECHB) is an important building block for the synthesis of L-carnitine. (R)-ECHB is produced from ethyl-4-chloro-3-oxobutanoate (ECOB) by a reductase-mediated, enantioselective reduction reaction. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae YOL151W reductase that is expressed in Escherichia coli cells exhibited an enantioselective reduction reaction toward ECOB. By virtue of the C-terminal His-tag, the YOL151W reductase was purified from the cell-free extract using Ni²⁺-NTA column chromatography and immobilized onto Ni²⁺-magnetic microparticles. The physical properties of the immobilized reductase (Imm-Red) were measured using electron microscopy, a magnetic property measurement system, and a zeta potential system; the average size of the particles was approximately 1 μm and the saturated magnetic value was 31.76 emu/g. A neodymium magnet was used to recover the immobilized enzyme within 2 min. The Imm-Red showed an optimum temperature at 45℃ and an optimum pH at 6.0. In addition, Bacillus megaterium glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) was produced in the E. coli cells and was used in the coupling reaction to regenerate the NADPH cofactor. The reduction/oxidation coupling reaction composed of the Imm-Red and GDH converted 20 mM ECOB exclusively into (R)-ECHB with an e.e._p value of 98%.

김치의 재료로 우리나라에서 중요한 채소인 배추는 호냉성으로 여름에는 서늘한 고랭지역에서 주로 재배된다. 고랭지에서 배추 재배 시 주로 배추를 매년 이어짓기하거나 감자와 번갈아 가면서 재배하고 있는데, 본 연구에서는 두 가지 작부체계 하에서 토양 물리화학성, 배추 생산성 그리고 배추 무기성분의 차이를 분석하고 평가하였다. 결과적으로 토양 내 유기물, 유효인산, 칼륨(K⁺)은 두 작부체계 모두 6년의 재배 이후 감소하였으며, 토양 pH는 배추 이어짓기 작부에서만 감소하였다. 표토의 공극률 또한 두 작부체계에서 모두 감소하였으나 감자와 돌려짓기 작부에서는 심토의 공극률이 증가하였다. 돌려짓기 작부에서는 배추와 잎의 크기가 유의하게 높아 높은 수량을 얻었다. 식물체 분석 결과 6년의 재배 이후 두 작부체계 모두 배추의 총 질소, Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺은 증가하고 총탄소와 인산함량은 감소하였는데, 총질소와 Mg²⁺은 이어짓기 작부에서 Ca²⁺은 돌려짓기 작부에서 감소하여 배추 재배 시 작부체계가 토양의 물리화학성과 작물의 생산성에 영향을 줌을 시사하였다.
