산업도시인 울산지역의 토양을 대상으로 단계별추출법을 통해 토양 내 축적된 중금속의 총 농도와 존재형태에 대해서 분석하였다. 울산지역을 오염배출원의 특성별로 6개(녹지, 주거지, 교통밀집, 기계 및 조선공단, 석유화학공단, 비철금속공단) 지역으로 구분하여 토양시료를 채취하였다. 연속추출법에 의하여 분석한 토양 중 중금속의 총 농도는 대체적으로 비철금속공단지역 >> 기계 및 조선공단지역 > 교통밀집지역 > 녹지 > 주거지의 순으로 나타났다. 거의 대부분의 지역에서 Cd, Cr 및 Ni은 50% 이상이 residual의 형태로 존재하였고 다음으로 Fe & Mn oxide 형태였다. 그러나 다른 지역보다 다소 높은 중금속 농도를 보였던 비철금속 공단지역에서는 residual의 존재비율이 낮았으며, 다른 지점에 비해 organic & sulfides의 비율이 높았다. Cu는 지역에 따라 다소 다른 존재형태를 보였다. Pb와 Zn은 Fe & Mn oxide가 가장 중요한 존재형태였고 Pb의 경우 그 다음으로 residual이 높은 존재형태를 보였다. 토양이나 빗물의 pH와 같은 환경 조건의 변화에 따라 쉽게 자연계로 유입될 수 있는 이동성을 가진 exchangeable 및 carbonates형태의 중금속이 차지하는 비율은 분석대상 전 지점에 걸쳐 대체적으로 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 비철금속 공단지역의 토양에서는 중금속의 총 농도가 심각하게 높게 나타났다. 그래서 토양 중 이동성 중금속의 상대적인 존재비율은 낮을지라도, 그 지역의 매우 높은 총 농도 때문에 많은 양의 중금속이 자연계에 유입될 가능성이 크다고 볼 수 있다. 따라서 배출원에서의 사전 오염방지 대책이나 중금속에 오염된 토양의 복원 등 긴급한 대책이 절실한 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 왕수추출법과 연속추출법에서 얻어진 중금속의 총 농도는 Cd를 제외하고 전 항목에 대해 높은 결정계수(0.7 < R2 < 0.9)를 보였다.

Choleretic effect and absorption of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) in rats were studied using UDCA alone and it's ${\beta}-cyclodextrin$ $({\beta}-CyD)$ inclusin complex (UDCA-IC). In spite of increase in solubility and dissolution rate, absorption of UDCA-IC was decreased compared with UDCA alone. Choleretic effect of UDCA-IC was also decreased. It looks that UDCA forms stronger inclusion complex with ${\beta}-CyD$ than any other drug or organic biological material. From this study, it was suggested that UDCA might be used as a new potential competing agent when inclusion complexes of drugs with ${\beta}-CyD$ were administered for the improvement of poor bioavailability.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the in vitro inhibitory effects of Fucofuroeckol-A isolated from Eisenia bicyclis against tyrosinase activity and 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX)-induced melanin biosynthesis in B16F10 melanoma cells. Result: Among the ethanolic (EtOH) extract of E. bicyclis and its organic solvent fractions, the ethyl acetate (EtOAc) soluble fraction showed a noticeable inhibitory effect on mushroom tyrosinase with an $IC_{50}$ value of $37.6{\pm}0.1{\mu}g/mL$. Repeated column chromatography of the active EtOAc fraction resulted in the isolation of Fucofuroeckol-A. It evidenced more potent tyrosinase inhibitory effect with an $IC_{50}$ value of $11.4{\pm}1.4{\mu}M$ than arbutin ($IC_{50}=1076.6{\pm}44.3{\mu}M$), which was used as a positive control. Lineweaver-Burk plots suggest that Fucofuroeckol-A plays as a noncompetitive inhibitor against tyrosinase. Furthermore, we have evaluated the inhibitory effects of Fucofuroeckol-A on IBMX-induced melanin formation in B16F10 melanoma cells. Fucofuroeckol-A ($12.5-100{\mu}M$) exhibited a significant inhibition of melanin production in the melanoma cells. Conclusion: In the present study, we suggested that Fucofuroeckol-A might prove possibility as a novel inhibitor of melanin biosynthesis in cosmetic applications.

A novel current-type data driver for active matrix organic light emitting diode (AMOLED) is proposed for current uniformity enhancement among its output channels. New architecture is composed of shadow DACs that precharge output stages, a single-real DAC that correct the output level to a real target current level and output stages that operate in 3 states of sampling, correcting and driving. Simulation results show that the proposed driving method and circuits improve the current uniformity among output channels of a current-type driver IC.

This study was conducted to determine the occurrence of leaf rot and leaf ring spot, caused by Rhizoctonia solani in Chinese cabbage under seedling nursery and cultivation greenhouses. Symptoms of leaf rot and leaf ring spot were found in three Chinese cabbage cultivars, Brassica campestris subsp. pekinensis, 'Ryeokgwang', 'Daetong', and 'CR mat'. In Hwacheon, the disease incidence was 73.8% in the seedling stage of the Chinese cabbage. In Icheon, the symptoms were observed on the upper leaves of the Chinese cabbage cultivar, 'Norangmini' with 20.5% of disease incidence. The symptoms appeared as primary lesions consisting of small, circular necrotic ring spots with gray color, 1.4-3.0 mm in diameter, accompanied by secondary rot lesions with large irregular borders of leaves. The color of mycelial mat of 20 isolates was dark brown and light brown. The average hyphal diameter of all the isolates was within 5.01-11.12 ${\mu}m$. Among the 20 strains isolated from Chinese cabbage, 16 isolates and four isolates anastomosed with the AG-1 (IB) and AG-1 (IC), respectively. Twenty isolates tested were only virulent on foliage parts of Chinese cabbage leaves but were avirulent on stem parts of the plants. Based on the mycological characteristics and pathogenicity test on host plants, the fungus was identified as Rhizoctonia solani.

Objectives: This study was to investigate the anti-oxidation and anti-cancer activity of Chaga mushroom extract. Extraction condition optimization and beta-glucan analysis and anti-cancer activity tests were also done. Methods: Optimum extraction conditions for Chaga mushroom extract were at a temperature of $90^{\circ}C$ and 2hrs with 10 times of water. Extraction yield and economics were best under these conditions. Results: Anti-oxidation activity was the highest with the fraction of 100,000 MWCO and $IC_{50}$ value was $13{\mu}g/ml$ and this value was comparable to that of vitamin E, alpha-tocopherol. Among the fractions from various organic solvents, ethyl acetate fraction showed the highest anti-oxidation activity with $IC_{50}$ value of $7{\mu}g/ml$. For anti-cancer activity, chloroform fraction showed little anti-cancer activity and ethyl acetate fraction showed the best anti-cancer activity with $IC_{50}$ $1.5{\mu}g/ml$ for stomach cancer cells. Anti-cancer activities for different molecular weight fractions were the best in the fraction of molecular weight less than 100,000Da, and $IC_{50}$ values for stomach cancer cells and liver cancer cells were 1.7 and $1.4{\mu}g/ml$, respectively. Conclusions: From these results, we can conclude that the extract of Chaga mushroom could be a good source for functional food and natural anti-cancer medicine.

The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays a key role in angiogenesis, which is a process where new blood vessels develop from the endothelium of a pre-existing vasculature. VEGF exerts its activity by binding to its receptor tyrosine kinase, KDR/Flk-1, which is expressed on the surface of endothelial cells. A methanol extract and organic solvent (n-hexane, ethyl acetate, n-butanol, aqueous) fractions from Rubus coreanus were examined for their inhibitory effects on VEGF binding to the VEGF receptor. The methanol extract from the crude drug were found to significantly inhibit VEGF binding to the VEGF receptor ($IC_{50}$$\thickapprox$27 $\mu$g/mL). Among the fractions examined, the aqueous fraction from the medicinal plant showed potent inhibitory effects against the binding of KDR/Flk-1-Fc to immobilized $VEGF_{165}$ in a dose­dependent manner ($IC_{50}$$\thickapprox$11 $\mu$g/mL). Sanguiin H-6 was isolated as an active principle from the aqueous fraction, and inhibited the binding of KDR/Flk-1-Fc to immobilized $VEGF_{165}$ in a dose­dependent manner ($IC_{50}$$\thickapprox$0.3 $\mu$g/mL). In addition, sanguiin H-6 efficiently blocked the VEGF­induced HUVEC proliferation in a dose-dependent manner ($IC_{50}$$\thickapprox$7.4 $\mu$g/mL) but had no effect on the growth of HT1080 human fibrosarcoma cells. This suggests that sanguiin H-6 might be a potential anti-angiogenic agent.

식물자원으로부터 식물병원균에 대한 항균물질을 탐색하고자 국내에서 재배한 40종의 약용식물 추출물을 대상으로 항균활성을 검색하였다. 우선, 각 식물을 methanol (MeOH)로 추출, 농축한 MeOH추출물을 시료로 하여 $2000{\mu}g/mL$ 농도수준에서 6가지 식물병에 대한 in vivo 방제효과를 조사하였다. 40종의 시료 중 14종의 시료가 적어도 한가지이상의 식물병에 대하여 90% 이상의 방제효과를 나타내었다. 벼 도열병, 토마토 역병 및 밀 붉은녹병에 대해서는 각각 8개, 7개 및 3개의 시료가 90% 이상의 효과를 나타내었으나, 벼 잎집무늬마름병, 토마토 잿빛곰팡이병 및 보리 흰가루병에 대해서는 90% 이상의 방제효과를 보이는 시료는 없었다. 벼 도열병에 대하여 높은 활성을 보이는 당귀(Angelica gigas, 당귀(當歸))와 백지 (Angelica dahurica, 백지(白芷))의 MeOH추출물로부터 solvent partitioning과 column chromatography를 통하여 각각 1개 및 2개의 항균물질을 분리하였으며 이들 물질은 질량분석 및 핵자기공명분석에 의하여 모두 coumarin계 물질인 decursin, imperatorin 및 isoimperatorin으로 동정되었다. 구조와 항균활성간의 관계를 알아보기 위하여 분리한 3개의 물질을 7번 위치에 free hydroxyl기를 가지고 있는 umbelliferone (7-hydroxycoumarin)과 scopoletin (6-methoxy-7-hydroxycoumarin)과 비교하여 in vitro 및 in vivo 항균활성을 조사하였다. In vitro에서 균사생육억제활성을 조사한 결과, 이들 물질들은 대상식물병원 곰팡이에 대하여 50% 균사생육억제농도 ($IC_{50}$)가 대부분 $200{\mu}g/mL$ 이상으로 나타나 항균활성이 비교적 약한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 7번 위치에 hydroxyl기가 노출되어 있는 umbelliferone과 scopoletin보다는 7번 위치의 free hydroxyl기 대신에 cyclic alkoxy기로 존재하는 decursin과 imperatorin이 곰팡이에 대한 항균활성이 강한 것으로 나타났다. 특히, decursin과 imperatorin은 각각 Pythium ultimum과 Magnaporthe grisea에 대하여 $25{\mu}g/mL$ 이하의 $IC_{50}$를 보여 강한 항균활성을 나타냈다. In vivo 실험에서는 decursin과 imperatorin은 여섯 가지 식물병 중 벼 도열병에 대하여 항균활성이 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 다른 세 개의 물질은 식물병 방제활성이 거의 없는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 실험결과 7-hydroxycoumarin계 물질들의 항진균활성과 관련하여 7번 위치에 free hydroxyl기가 있는 것보다는 이 hydroxyl기가 보다 안정한 cyclic alkoxy기로 치환되는 것이 높은 항균활성을 나타내는데 중요하다는 것을 알 수 있었다.
