This study was conducted to develop a new biomaterial to be used for skin whitening. The melanin elimination effect of chondroitin sulfate and phelinus linteus mushroom in rabbit back skin were evaluated. Rabbit dorsum was exposed to chronic UV irradiation(320nm) once daily for 30 days after initial melanin injection (100mg/kg). And then, chondroitin sulfate and phelinus linteus mushroom at dose of 0.7g for 30days were applied on the zone. The dorsal skin was histologically examined. Furthermore, we investigated free-radical extinction effect, antioxidation and tyrosinase activity inhibition effects. The histological study indicated that chondroitin sulfate and phelinus linteus mushroom decreasd melanine pigment significantly. As a result, chondroitin sulfate and phelinus linteus mushroom have a remarkable effect on the skin whitening by melanin elimination.

For the purpose of reuse the wasted by-products from the skate process to the health functional food or medicinal material, chondroitin sulfate was extracted from the skate cartilage with the method of hydrolysis with protease enzyme, and the contents of chondroitin sulfate and hydrolyzed protein were measured qualitatively and quantitatively. The effects of chondroitin sulfate on body weight or liver weight changes, hepatotoxicity elimination and anti-inflammatory actions were measured from in vivo test with feed-treated mice. From the hydrolytic extraction of skate cartilage with the mixture of 1% alcalase and 1% protease for 4 hours, the extraction yield of chondroitin sulfate was about 32.55%. The content and molecular weight of chondroitin sulfate was 26.63% and $2.85{\times}10^5Da$., respectively and the content ratio of chondroitin sulfate to protein was measured to 1 to 2.76 with gel permeation chromatography. For the odor component, trimethylamine decreased about 30% but almost not ammonia from chondroitin sulfate with the treatment of activated carbon. From the feeding chondroitin sulfate to mice, the control effect of body and liver weights decrease was measured, anti-inflammatory action and hepatotoxicity elimination action were also measured. From these results, process operation conditions for manufacturing of chondroitin sulfate were suggested.

Styrene을 제거하기 위한 biofilter가 연구되었다. 운전 초기에 활성슬러지를 접종함으로써 start-up 기간을 24시간으로 줄일 수 있었다. 운전중 질소원 고갈 현상이 발생하였고 첨가된 ammonium sulfate양에 따라 제거된 styrene의 양을 정량적으로 구하여 이것을 biofilter의 장기운전에 이용할 수 있었다. Styrene의 maximum elimination $capacity(EC_{max})$와 critical elimination $capacity(EC_{cr})$는 각각 4.8kg $C\;/m^3{cdot}day$, 1.248kg $C\;/m^3{cdot}day$이었으며 styrene 농도 400ppmv까지를 분해하는데 EBRT 1min으로 제거율 95% 이상을 달성할 수 있었다.

The reaction of sulfur dioxide with cupric oxide was investigated over a temperature range of 300-50$0^{\circ}C$, and the regenaration reaction was studied using cupric sulfate and hydrogen over a temperature range of 240-35$0^{\circ}C$ in a fixed bed reactor. The experimental results showed that the efficiencies for elimination and regenaration reactions were maximum at 45$0^{\circ}C$ and at 30$0^{\circ}C$ respectively. In both cases the experimental data could be interpreted properly by shrinking unreacted core model while the chemical reaction is rate controlling step. The reaction rate constants were determined to be 24.88 exp(-6724/RT) (cm/min) for elimination reaction, and 0.0165 exp(-2047/RT)(cm/min ) for regeneration reaction.

Streptomyces bobili (YS-40) 의 Hg, Ag, penicillin-G, ampicillin, chloramphenicol, oxytetracycline, streptomycin, kanamycin에 대한 생육최소저해농도는 각각 15, 10, >3,000, >100, >1,000. >100. <5, <5 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$였으며 본 균주의 R-plasmid를 제거시키기 위하여 ethidium bromide, acriflavine, sodium dodecyl sulfate 등의 curing agent를 처리시킨 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. Ethidium bromide를 10$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$의 농도로 처리했을 때 98.0% 정도의 R-plasmid를 제거시킬 수 있었다. pH 7.0에서 curing시킴으로서 R-plasmid가 가장 잘 제거되었으며 분균을 24시간동안 배양해서 curing시킴으로서 R-plasmid의 제거율이 가장 높게 나타났다. Ethidium bromide에 의해서 R-plasmid가 제거된 균과 원균을 여러가지 색소생성배지에서 배양시켜 배양상의 특성을 조사해 본 결과 peptone-beef extract agar 배지에서 aerial mass color가 greyish pink에서 grey로 변했으며 tryptone-yeast extract broth에서 배지에서 soluble pigment가 pale brown에서 무색으로 변했다. 이 결과로는 aerial mycelium, melanin 생성과 R-plasmid 는 무관하다고 추측된다.

Biofiltration of polluted gas streams contained $H_2S$ was studied. The experiments were performed in a laboratory-scale reactor with a porous ceramic media inoculated with sulfur oxidizing bacterium, TAS which was isolated from activiated sludge. The concentration of $H_2S$ in the inlet gas varied from 109 to 3,841 ppm, at the various space velocities(SV) of 50 $h^{-1}$ to 250 $h^{-1}$. Various tests have been conducted to evaluate the effects of such parameters as pH, concentration of sulfate ion and retention time on the pressure drop and maximum elimination capacity. The removal efficiency of $H_2S$ decreased as the $H_2S$ concentration or gas velocity increased in the inlet gas. Pressure drop was insignificant in this system. The maximum elimination capacity could reach up to 16.35g-S/kg-dry packing material/day.

Dermatan sulfate (DS) was isolated from eel skin (Anguilla japonica) bv actinase and endonuclease digeslions followed by ${\beta}$-elimination reaction and DEAE-Sephacel chromatography. DS was a major glycosaminoglycan in eel skin with 88% of the total uronic acid. The content of IdoA2S$\alpha$1longrightarrow4GalNAc4S sequence in eel skin. which is known to be a binding site to heparin cofactor II. was two times higher than that of dermatan sulfate from porcine skin. The anti-lla activity of eel skin dermatan sulfate mediated through heparin cofactor ll(NCL) was 25 units/mg. whereas DS from porcine skin shows 23.2 units/mg. The average molecular weight was determined as 14 kDa by gel chromatography on a TSKgel G3000SWXL column. Based on H1 NMR spectroscopy. we suggest that 3-sulfated and/or 2.3-sulfated ldoA residues are present in the chain.

Background: Bioprostheses for cardiovascular surgery have limitations in their use following as calicification. ${\alpha}$-galactosidase epitope is known as a stimulant of immune response and then shows a progressing calcification. The objective of this study was to evaluate histologic characteristics and mechanical properties of decellularization and treated with ${\alpha}$-galactosidase. Materials and Methods: Bovine pericardial tissues were allocated into three groups: fixation only with glutaraldehyde, decellularization with sodium dodesyl sulfate and decellularization plus treatment with ${\alpha}$-galactosidase. We confirmed immunohistological characteristics and mechanical properties as fatigue test, permeability test, compliance test, tensile strength (strain) test and thermal stability test. Results: Decellularization and elimination of ${\alpha}$-gal were confirmed through immunohistologic findings. Decellularization had decreased mechanical properties compared to fixation only group in permeability (before fatigue test p=0.02, after fatigue test p=0.034), compliance (after fatigue test p=0.041), and tensile strength test (p=0.00). The group of decellularization plus treatment with ${\alpha}$-galactosidase had less desirable mechanical properties than the group of decellularization in concerns of permeability (before fatigue test p=0.043) and strain test (p=0.001). Conclusion: Favorable decellularization and elimination of ${\alpha}$-gal were obtained in this study through immunohistologic findings. However, those treatment including decellularization and elimination of ${\alpha}$-gal implied the decreased mechanical properties in specific ways. We need more study to complete appropriate bioprosthesis with decellularization and elimination of ${\alpha}$-gal including favorable mechanical properties too.

Kunitz-type soybean trypsin inhibitor (SBTI) and chondroitin sulfate (A, and C type) were conjugated using sodium periodate method. And the physicochemical, pharmacokinetic properties and immunogenecity of the conjugates (Chon-A-SBTI or Chon-C-SBTI) were characterized. We expected the conjugation using chondroitin sulfate to reduce the immunogenecity and to improve the pharmacological effect. As the results, the mean molecular weight of the conjugate highly increased. After I.V. injection of the radiolabeled conjugates or native SBTI into mice, it was found that native SBTI showed rapid elimination from plasma, whereas Chon-A-SBTI and Chon-C-SBTI were slowly eliminated. Organ distribution of the two agents at 30 min after I.V. injection was different : Chon-A-SBTI or Chon-C-SBTI accumulated to a large extent in the liver (13% in Chon-A-SBTI and 16% in Chon-C-SBTI), whereas native SBTI was taken up more rapidly by the kidney (107% dose/g of tissue) and excreated into the urine (26%). In addition we evaluated the therapeutic value of the conjugates by using the sublethal septic shock model caused by pseudomonal elastase and tested the immunogenecity by passive cutaneous anaphylaxis shock (PCA). The conjugates were more effective than native SBTI against pseudomonal elastase induced septic shock in guinea pig. In case of the conjugates, the pharmacological and therapeutic effect lasted over 3 hours long. In immunogenecity test, both of the conjugates showed the reduction of their immunogenecity, especially Chon-A-SBTI looked most effective.

Among solute carrier proteins, the organic anion transporters (OATs) play an important role for the elimination or reabsorption of endogenous and exogenous negatively charged anionic compounds. Among OATs, SLC22A9 (hOAT7) transports estrone sulfate with high affinity. The net decrease of estrogen, especially in post-menopausal women induces rapid bone loss. The present study was performed to search the SNP within exon regions of SLC22A9 in Korean females with osteoporosis. Fifty healthy controls and 50 osteoporosis patients were screened for the genetic polymorphism in the coding region of SLC22A9 using GC-clamped PCR and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE). Six SNPs were found on the SLC22A9 gene from Korean women with/without osteoporosis. The SNPs were located as follows: two SNPs in the osteoporosis group (A645G and T1277C), three SNPs in the control group (G1449T, C1467T and C1487T) and one SNP in both the osteoporosis and control groups (G767A). The G767A, T1277C and C1487T SNPs result in an amino acid substitution, from synonymous vs nonsynonymous substitution arginine to glutamine (R256Q), phenylalanine to serine (F426S) and proline to leucine (P496L), respectively. The Km values and Vmax of the wild type, R256Q, P496L and F426S were 8.84, 8.87, 9.83 and $12.74{\mu}M$, and 1.97, 1.96, 2.06 and 1.55 pmol/oocyte/h, respectively. The present study demonstrates that the SLC22A9 variant F426S is causing inter-individual variation that is leading to the differences in transport of the steroid sulfate conjugate (estrone sulfate) and, therefore this could be used as a marker for certain disease including osteoporosis.
