Chemical changes in components of ginseng roots by heat treatment were observed. We have let the roots of fresh ginseng, of steamed ginseng and the water soluble parts obtained from preparing steamed one be subject to our research. Acids, bases, neutral substances and genins from each one of the above came up to 12 fractions. Having the fractions through column chromatography and TLC test thereafter, we determined the Rf values of each spots presented. Among so many similar values of them, 15 spots of heterogenous component in the fresh ginseng and 6 spots in the steamed one, and 10 spots in that of water soluble parts wre detected. Considering this data obtained, we can assume that partialor all of some components of fresh ginseng might be passed into water parts while preparing steamed ginseng from fresh ones and also some components of the later (fresh ginseng) might have been converted into other substances while being heated.

The history of fermented condiments symbolizes that of the fermentation industry of Korea. Daesang Co. (ex Miwon) initiated the production of MSG using fermentation process in 1960 for the very first time. Ever since, both Daesang and CJ Co. (ex Cheil Jedang) have scrambled for taking up bigger share of Korean market in the field of MSG, IG-coated MSG, and mixed seasoning. It is noteworthy that both companies have powerfully contributed to the development of Korean fermentation industry. Daesang initiated exporting plants to Indonesia in 1973, whereas CJ has become the global leader of the IMP market. Furthermore, both of them have developed such as not only amino acids but also nucleic acid-related substances, organic acids, enzymes etc. with glutamic acid as a platform. It is anticipated that the two will develop the newly diversified edible substances and various kinds of fermented foods along with new food cultures.

Euchrestaflavanone B (EFB) is a flavonoid that can be found in root bark, particularly in Cudrania tricuspidata (C. tricuspidata). The extract of C. tricuspidata is widespread throughout Asia and used in traditional medicine. In a previous study, we found anti-platelet effects of substances isolated from C. tricuspidata on collagen-induced human platelets. However, the C. tricuspidata still contains numerous substances, thus, we have searched new candidate, EFB isolated from C. tricuspidata for anti-platelet effect. Our results showed that EFA inhibited collagen-induced platelet aggregation and glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (αIIb/β3)-mediated signaling events, including platelet adhesion, granule secretion, thromboxane A2 production and clot retraction. These results suggest that EFA has inhibitory effects on human platelet activities and thrombus formation and has potential value as a natural substance for preventing platelet-induced thrombosis.

Recently, companion animal culture has grown rapidly and mature, raising interest in preventing and treating animal diseases. In particular, viral infection was a serious threat to companion animal health because there was no proper antiviral drugs. Synthetic antiviral drugs have limitations such as low efficiency, toxicity, and occurrence of resistant viruses. Therefore, attempts to find new anti-viral drugs from natural sources have continued. This review focused on the natural products and active substances that exhibit antiviral activity against three viruses: canine distemper virus (CDV), canine parvovirus (CPV), and feline calicivirus (FCV) that cause fatal diseases in dogs and cats. Natural plant extracts, flavonoids, polysaccharides, alkaloids and saponins showed antiviral activity with various mechanisms and differences in activity depending on the structure. Especially, quercetin and epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) showed antiviral activity through a multi-mechanism that interferes with the attachment and penetration stages of the virus and inhibits the viral polymerase within the cell. Some natural plant extracts showed a virucidal activity and showed the potential effect as a preventative agent to prevent the viral infection. This review is expected to provide research trend on the development of antiviral natural products for companion animals.

The demand for natural substances with anti-melanogenic activity is increasing due to the recent interest in skin whitening. Intensive investigation on the culture broth of Streptomyces sp. SCO-736, a marine bacterium from the Antarctica coast, has led to the isolation of a new natural product named antaroide (1). The chemical structure was established through the interpretation of MS, UV, and NMR spectroscopic data. Antaroide is a nine-membered macrolide with lactone and lactam moieties. To investigate its applicability in skin whitening cosmetics, its anti-melanogenic activity in B16F10 murine melanoma cells was examined. As a result, antaroide displayed strong inhibitory activities against melanin synthesis and also attenuated the dendrite formation induced by the α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Antaroide suppressed the mRNA expression of the melanogenic enzymes such as tyrosinase, TRP-1 and TRP-2. This suggests that it may serve as a transcriptional regulator of melanogenesis. Collectively, the discovery of this novel natural nine-membered macrolide and its anti-melanogenic activity could give new insights for the development of skin whitening agents.

U. unicinctus 난자를 대상으로 인공수정 후 수정막 형성에 따른 물질적 기원과 첨체반응 등에 관련된 구조변화에 대하여 광학현미경과 전자현미경을 이용하여 관찰하였다. 관찰결과에 의하면 1차 수정막의 물질은 과잉의 정자에 대한 효과적 방어 기능을 보유한 난외막 표층 기원의 물질이었으며, 2차 수정막은 피질과립의 분비에 의하여 형성되었다. 3차 수정막은 광학현미경하에서 특이한 구조의 관찰은 없었으나 전자현미경에 의한 관찰시 많은 입자상 물질들로 구성되었으며, 수정 후 60분에는 이들 입자물질의 응집에 의해서 수정막은 경과되는 것으로 관찰되었다. 1차 수정막과 난외막 표층의 유사성 그리고 1차 수정막의 형성과 미세융모의 퇴화가 동시적인 사건이라는 것은 미세융모가 U. unicinctus에서 정자의 수용체로 작용할 수 있는 것으로 추정할 수 있었다. 첨체소관에 의한 난세포막 침투시 침체 단부에서 과립상의 물질이 표층(surface coat)에 확산되었다. 첨체소관은 첨체의 기부에서 시작되고, 첨체간격을 통하여 신장되었다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to determine the exposure risk to tattoo components by analyzing skin absorption using the in vitro method. Tattoos are commonly used for cosmetic purposes, and the skin of not only the operator but of the people who are undergoing the cosmetic procedure is continuously exposed to hazardous chemicals. Methods: Skin permeation risk determination was conducted by the in vitro Franz diffusion cell method according to the ingredient types of tattoo dyes, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), non-volatile organic compounds and heavy metals, using hairless mouse full skin and human cadaver epidermis. Results: The major components with good skin penetration for each type of tattoo dye ingredient were clarified. Among the tatto dye ingredients, 1,2-Dichlorobenzene, Zn, Al, Pb and Ti showed good skin penetration. Most of the skin transmission rates were higher in hairless mouse full skin than in human cadaver epidermis. Conclusion: A possible exposure risk to hazardous substances in tattoo dyes was confirmed from this study. These results are expected to provide a positive contribution to the establishment of management regulations for tattoo dyes.

This study deals a way to reduce the transformer noises. The first step is to identify the source of the transformer noises. The second step is obtaining the vibration characteristics of transformer; its natural frequencies and mode shapes. Based on these information, an method to reduce the vibration of transformer can be found. The cause of transformer noises is mainly due to the magnetostrictive vibration of a core which is made of ferromagnetic substances. It is well known that the magnetostrictive vibration of a core is unavoidable, and a way to reduce the transformer noise by structural design is needed. It requires understanding the vibration characteristics. The natural frequencies and the mode shapes of transformer are analyzed by performing the modal testing.

Natural organic matter (NOM) is among the most common pollutant in underground and surface waters. It comprises of humic substances which contains anionic macromolecules such as aliphatic and aromatic compounds of a wide range of molecular weights along with carboxylic, phenolic functional groups. Although the concentration of NOM in potable water usually lies in the range of 1-10 ppm. Conventional treatment technologies are facing challenge in removing NOM effectively. The main issues are concentrated to low efficiency, membrane fouling, and harmful by-product formation. Ion-exchangers can be considered as an efficient and economic pretreatment technology for the removal of NOM. It not only consumes less time for pretreatment but also resist formation of trihalomethanes (THMs), an unwanted harmful by-product. This article provides a comprehensive review of ion exchange processes for the removal of NOM.
