Cibotii Rhizoma, the dried rhizome of Cibotium barometz J. Smith (C. barometz), has long been used to treat bone or nervous system disorders. In this regard, we isolated three main phenolic compounds, onitin-4-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (1), irisdichototins E & F epimeric mixture (2), and protocatechuic acid (3) from C. barometz methanol extract. In addition, we screened their antioxidative activities by DPPH, ABTS radical, and superoxide scavenging assays. Among these three compounds, irisdichototins E & F and protocatechuic acid showed strong antioxidant activities. Also, the antioxidant activities of the C. barometz extracts were proportional to the contents of irisdichototins E & F and protocatechuic acid, thus these two phenolic compounds could be main active compounds of C. barometz. In addition, onitin-4-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside is considered as a marker compound of C. barometz because this compound is specifically contained in C. barometz which belongs to Pteridophyta order. A rapid analysis method for the simultaneous determination of phenolic compounds was also developed by UPLC (Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography). Using the developed method, the two active compounds (irisdichototins E & F and protocatechuic acid) and a marker compound (onitin-4-O-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside) were successfully quantified in 14 commercial samples that were collected from different regions.

The semiconducting ${\beta}-FeSi_2$ compound has been recognized as a thermoelectric material with excel-lent oxidation resistance and stable characteristics at elevated temperature. In the present work, we applied mechanical alloying(MA) technique to produce ${\beta}-FeSi_2$ compound using a mixture of elemental iron and silicon powders. The mechanical alloying was carried out using a Fritsch P-5 planetary mill under Ar gas atmosphere. The MA powders were characterized by the X-ray diffraction with Cu-K $\alpha$ radiation, thermal analysis and scanning electron microscopy. The single ${\beta}-FeSi_2$ phase has been obtained by mechanical alloying of $Fe_{33}Si_{67}$ mixture powders for 120 hrs or for 70 hrs coupled with the subsequent heat treatment up to $700^{\circ}C$. The grain size of ${\beta}-FeSi_2$ powders analyzed by Hall plot method was 44nm.

In preparation of NBD dimer, one of the industrially useful multicyclic hydrocarbon compound, various catalyst, solvent and byproducts were included in reaction product at the end of dimerization reaction. In order to increase the yield of NBD dimer mixture, first of all, effective separation process development was required. The research for improvement of NBD dimer yield were performed by use of eco-friendly and recyclable separation solvent.

The cavity of triple filter was filled with the mixture of clinoptilolite and charcoal(1:1, V/V). The particle size of clinoptilolite was 30$\pm$5 A.S.T.M mesh. The reduction effects of the important gaseous components by this mixture were obtained as follows: 1) In comparison with the normal cellulose acetate niter, the contents of nicotine and T.P.M. were reduced about 35% and 22% respectively. 2) Many aliphatic and cyclic compounds were also substantially reduced in an average of 60%. 3) In contrast with the charcoal, the removal efficiency of clinoptilolite was revealed as higher (15-20%) in case of aliphatic compounds than the one (10-15%) of cyclic compounds. The above results showed us that the removal function of gaseous components was quite complementary each other (charcoal and clinoptilolite).

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to find a reasonable solution to a current status of drug classification between the drugs of western conventional (allopathic) medicine and Korean medicine. A clear and distinct concept on the drugs of allopathic medicine and Korean medicine based on reasonable concepts and broad consensus is a pressing issue in Korea, and will facilitate the development of herbal medicinal products and pharmaceutical industry. Methods : Considering the issue of drug classification from domestic and international regulations, we reviewed the current Drug Law of Korea and China, Guidance for Industry, Botanical Drug Products of USA, Directive 2004/24/EC of the European parliament and of the council. Results : In Korea, the drug classification of allopathic medicine and Korean medicine is quite vague even though differential licensure system is enforced for the clinicians of allopathic medicine and Korean medicine field. According to the definition in the Drug Law, the scope of Korean medicine drug is so broad that even a drug made of single-compound material, as well as herbal extract of crude mixture, is regarded as a drug of Korean medicine, as long as the material may be separated from medicinal herbs, animal tissues, or mineral resources. Only new compound not found in natural resources are outside of the scope of Korean medicine drug. In USA and EU, medicinal products manufactured from herbs are approved by separate regulations for the herbs with special waivers. In China, the category of new medicine and the definition of allopathic medicine and traditional chinese medicine are clearly specified and classified. Conclusions : As medicines are validated therapeutic materials for efficacy and toxicity, we suggest that generally the concept of conventional medicines is based on a single compound that has been synthesized and individually validated and that of Korean medicines is based on a compound extracted from natural materials or a complex of compounds that has been validated as a whole in its totality.

The phytochemical study of nutmeg, the seeds of Myristica fragrans Houttuyn (Myristicaceae) led to the isolation of three lignans, safrole (I), macelignan (III), and a 3,4 : 3',4'-bis(methylenedioxy)lignan (II). The compound II was identified by a mixture (1:1) of (8S, 8'R)- and (8S, 8'S)-forms of bis(3, 4-methylenedioxy)-8, 8'-neolignan by $^1$H-, $^{13}$ C-NMR and $^1$H-$^1$H COSY spectral data. The compound II was isolated for the first time from Myristica fragrans.

Kraft oak lignin and ricestraw lignin from acetosolve pulping were dissolved in 50/50 mixture of tetralin/m-cresol solvent. The dissolved lignin was reacted in the pressurized autoclave which was operating at $350{\sim}500^{\circ}C$ of reaction temperature and 10~20 atms of reaction pressure respectively_Hydrogen pressure of 60~80kg/$cm^2$ was exercising into the pressurized autoclave reactor to create thermochemical hydrogenolysis reaction. It was identified by GLC, GC-MS and HPLC that the alkyl-aryl-${\beta}$-O-4 ether bond of lignin was cleaved and degraded into various smaller molecules of aromatic compound such as phenols and cresols under the reaction conditions around $300^{\circ}C$ and 10 atms of reaction temoerature and pressure. Hydrogenolysis reaction of lignin compound which was done above $500^{\circ}C$ of reaction temperature and 20 atms of reaction pressure showed that the amount of aromatic compound such as phenols and cresols degraded from reactant lignin was decreasing with newly present and increasing water out of product mixtures. It was supposed that new aliphatic compound of high molecular weight hydrocarbon is composed due to higher reaction temperature and pressure of hydrogenolysis reaction such as $500^{\circ}C$ and 20 atms, even though it was almost impossible, to identify what kind of degraded products it was by HPLC.

Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) fabrics were treated with a silica particle and phosphate flame retardant to determine the optimum process condition of the digital textile printing(DTP) media. The treating conditions for the study were 6 conditions, from F1 to F6, in which F3, F4 and F5 were treated with mixture of both silica particle and phosphate compound in process of pad, dry and cure fixation. F6 was treated with phosphate compound only and silica particle coating successively. Xanthan gum was used to control the migration of liquid phosphate compound onto PET fabrics. The change in surface morphology of fabrics treated with silica particle and phosphate compound was observed by SEM and flame retardance was evaluated by limiting oxygen index(LOI). It was observed that F6 was the excellent flame retardance and low bleeding in printing, Collectively, the printing characteristics of silica to cyan, magenta, yellow and black ink and flame retardance of fabrics finished with phosphate compound were identified in this study.
