Soyasaponins are glycosylated, which gives rise to a wide diversity of structures and functions. We evaluated for inhibitory effects of 4 soyasaponins on antigen-induced degranulation in RBL-2H3 Cells. 4 soyasaponins had shown dose-dependently inhibited histamine and ${\beta}$-hexosaminidase.

Re-188 is useful candidate for therapeutic radionuclide because it has a physical half life of 17 hours, contains beta emissions suitable for therapy(maximum energy 2.12MeV) and emits a gamma ray that is suitable for quantitative diagnostic scanning(155keV). To use Re-188 as a radionuclide compound of angioplasty balloon radiotherapy, we investigated the labelling method and biodistribution of Re-188-DTPA We postulated that labeled Re-188-DTPA is preferable because it would be excreted via urinary system more easily than other compounds. To label Re-188 with DTPA, 1ml of 222MBq(6mCi) of Re-188 was added to DTPA solution(DTPA 20mg, $SnCl_2{\cdot}2H_2O$ 10mg, pH 3.5) and boiled at $100^{\circ}C$ for 120min in water bath. pH was adjusted to 5 with 2.3% sodium acetate. Labeling efficiency was measured using TLC-SG(acetone, saline). We evaluated biodistribution of Re-188-DTPA in sacrificed mice at 10 and 60 minutes after injection. We acquired images of kidneys, and drew time-activity curves in normal dogs and rats and calculated Tmax and Tl/2 in rats. The labelling efficiency was 95.7% on average. Labelling of Re-188-DTPA was.stable(90% after 5hours) in vitro at room temperature. According to time-activity curves of dogs and rats, it took 15 to 20 minutes after injection for Re-188-DTPA to be washed out through kidneys. In conclusion, Re-188-DTPA was successfully labeled, Re-188-DTPA was stable in vitro and was excreted early via kidneys in animals. We could recommend Re-188-DTPA as radionuclide of potential use in angioplasty balloon radiotherapy.

The culture broth of a ${\beta}$-glucan-producing bacterium, Paenibacillus polymyxa JB115, was confirmed to show the antibiosis against pathogenic bacteria of livestock disease. The antibacterial substance produced by P. polymyxa JB115 exhibited strong bactericidal or bacteriostatic effect on the growth of livestock pathogenic bacteria including Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella choleraesuis, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This antibacterial substance also showed high stabilities in broad pH range (pH 3-11) and in broad temperature range $(40-121^{\circ}C)$, which is good enough to apply spray-dry method for the formulation of culture broth. It was also found that the antibacterial substance was very stable in artificial gastric fluid and bile acid, which implies the anticipated antibacterial activity against gastrointestinal bacteria harmful for livestocks. In conclusion, the culture broth of P. polymyxa JB115 can be developed as a multifuctional feed additive containing immune-enhancing ${\beta}$-glucan as well as antibacterial agent against livestock pathogenic bacteria.

To circumvent the skin problem from phenylethanol (PhE), we have studied on the enzymatic synthesis of phenylethanol galactoside (PhE-gal) as an alternative to PhE. Base on the previous study, we optimized the reaction conditions for PhE-gal synthesis from PhE using E. coli β-galactosidase (β-gal). The optimal amount of β-gal, PhE concentration, pH, and temperature for PhE-gal synthesis were 0.45 U/ml, 1%, 8.0, 40℃, respectively. Under these conditions, about 81.9 mM PhE was converted into about 47.4 mM PhE-gal, in which the conversion yield was about 57.9%. Meanwhile, when the reaction mixture containing PhE and PhE-gal was mixed and fractionated with water-immiscible solvent (EA or MC), it was observed that PhE-gal was distributed in water phase, and PhE was distributed in solvent phase. Additionally, PhE-gal was clearly distributed into water phase when MC was used, but PE-gal was not when EA was used. In the future, we are planning to carried out the continuing study on developing an alternative cosmetic preservative using PhE-gal.

B-SiC thin films were fabricated on Si(100) substrate under 1 atom by fVD. The effects of deposition conditions on the growth and the properties especially crystallinity and prefer ential alignment of these thin films were investigated. SiH4 and CH4 were used as source gases and H2 as Carrier gas. Th9 growth Of B-SiC thin films with changing parameters such as the growth temperature, the ratio of source gases (SiH4/CH4 ) and the total amount of source gases. The grown thin films were characterized by using SEM, a -step, XRD, Raman Spectro- scopy and TEM. Chemical conversion process improved the quality of thin films due to the formation of SiC buffer layer. The crystallinity of SiC thin films was improved when the growth temperature was higher than l150t and the amount of CH4 exceeded that of SiH4. The better crystallinity, the better alignment to the crystalline direction of substates. TEM analyses of the good quality thin films showed that the grain size was bigger at the surface than at the interface and the defect density is not depend on the ratio of the source gases.

Optimum conditions of the cellulose-hydrolysis reaction with mixed enzymes(cellulase extracted from Penicellium funiculosum mixed with $\beta$-glucosidase extracted from Almod) were investigated to increase the production of glucose from cellulose. Experimental result showed that optimum conditions fro pH, activity ratio of $\beta$-glucosidase to cellulase, concentration of mixed enzymes, concentration of cellulose as a substrate, and temperature range were 4.2, 0.4, 0.8, U/mL, 40 g/L, and 37$\pm$3$^\circ C$, respectively. In these conditions, quantities of glucose productions by using mixed enzymes were larger than those by using cellulase at optimum conditions.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of Palmiwon on the type 1-prediabetic models induced by streptozotocin (STZ) in RINm5F cells and HIT-T15 cells. Palmiwon increased the cell proliferation and insulin release when pre- and post-treated for the STZ-exposed pancreatic beta cells. The cell proliferation and insulin release of these beta cells were measured by $^3$H-thymidine uptake and RIA, respectively. We also analyzed nutrients such as sugars, fatty acid and amino acids and minerals containing in Palmiwon using by gas chromatography, amino acid analyzer and AA spectrometer, respectively. Palmiwon seems to have protective and recovery properties on the prediabetic model in cellular level, which were ascribe to various nutrients and minerals containing in Palmiwon. From these results, it could be suggested that Palmiwon may be available as preventive and therapeutic prescription of type 1 diabetes mellitus.

${\beta}$-Silicon carbide(${\beta}$-SiC) whiskers could be synthesized by the carbothermal reduction of kaolin at tem-peratures between 1400 and 1500$^{\circ}C$. The whiskers were grown up to about 1150 of aspect ratio by VS mechanism (showing tapering tips) and to about 45 of that by VLS mechanism (showing round droplet tips) respectively. Hydrocarbon like methane in the reaction atmosphere promoted the formation of gaseous il-icon monoxide(SiO) from silicon dioxide(SiO2) and subsequently reacted with it to form whiskers. The for-mation of ${\beta}$-SiC whiskers increased with increasing carbon content(to 30 wt%) and reaction temperatures. The max. yield of ${\beta}$-SiC whiskers was 15% at 1500$^{\circ}C$ under 20%CH4/80%H2.
