The purpose of this study was to detect Mycobacterium bovis in cattle(serum, milk, lung, lymph node) by PCR. Nineteen samples from 7 skin test-positive cattle were analyzed. The amplified band of IS6110 by PCR was detected from 2 samples in lung and Iymph node. But the sensitivities of the present methods for detecting M bovis in milk and serum are deficient. Because the PCR sensitivity has been shown to be hindered by the method used to isolate the nucleic acid target. PCR-based methods have the potential to be faster, more accurate, and the most efficient means of detecting M bovis. The detection of M bovis by PCR will contribute to the more efficient detection and control of tuberculosis.

A high performance liquid chromatographic method has been developed for the simultaneous analysis of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in plasma. The simultaneous determination of ibuprofen, fenoprofen and ketoprofen is performed by RP-HPLC with UV detection. The chromatographic system consisted of Spherisorb octyl column$(5{\mu}m)$ ; the mobile phase was $acetonitrile\;-\;0.5\%$ phosphoric acid(55 : 45, v/v) and the detection wavelength was 230nm. Tolmetin was employed as an internal standard. The method described is rapid and simple with sensitivity limits of $2.0{\mu}g/ml$ ibuprofen, $0.5{\mu}g/ml$ fenoprofen and $0.3{\mu}g/ml$ ketoprofen and is suitable for routine clinical and pharmacokinetic studies.

In order to get taste sensation 116 male and 82 female subjects were tested by dropping solution on tongue. Table I shows the number of subjects in each selected age group. none of the subjects complained gastrointestinal discomforts and drinking and smoking habits were moderate (Less than 5 cigarettes a day). Taste sensation was elicited by applying standard tap water solutions of sucrose(sweet), , sodium chloride(salty), citric acid (sour) and quinine (bitter) on tongue. The dour concentrations of each solution are given in Table 2. The test were done about 1 hour after meal . A drop of approximately 0.1 ml of the lowest concentration of solution was placed on tongue. The number of subjects who recognized the taste of concentrations were recorded in each age group. The obtained results were as follows ; 1. The sweet taste sensation of each age group was more sensitive in female than in male. 2. Decreased level of sensitivity to sweet. salty, sour and bitter taste was detected in the 40 year age group. 3. Females tent to be more sensitive to taste than males generally.

Nuclear bodies are subnuclear, spheroidal, and membraneless compartments that concentrate specific proteins and/or RNAs. They serve as sites of biogenesis, storage, and sequestration of specific RNAs, proteins, or ribonucleoprotein complexes. Recent studies reveal that a subset of nuclear bodies in various eukaryotic organisms is constructed using architectural long noncoding RNAs (arcRNAs). Here, we describe the unifying mechanistic principles of the construction and function of these bodies, especially focusing on liquid-liquid phase separation induced by architectural molecules that form multiple weakly adhesive interactions. We also discuss three possible advantages of using arcRNAs rather than architectural proteins to build the bodies: position-specificity, rapidity, and economy in sequestering nucleic acid-binding proteins. Moreover, we introduce two recently devised methods to discover novel arcRNA-constructed bodies; one that focuses on the RNase-sensitivity of these bodies, and another that focuses on "semi-extractability" of arcRNAs.

A CAB cDNA clone(pKGCAB) encoding the light harvesting chlorophyll a/b binding protein of the semi-shade plant, Korean ginseng(Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer) was isolated by the one-way path random sequencing of ginseng cDNA library clones and transgenic tobacco plants(Nicotiana tabacum NC82) were produced by the transformation of this ginseng CAB gene in use of Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA4404. The CAB gene showed type 1 structure of LHCP-II, 84% similarity in nucleotide sequence and 92% in amino acid sequence to that of Nicotiana tabacum CAB40, respectively. Seed germination and initial growth of the transgenic tobacco plants transformed with the cDNA fragment were accelerated under low light intensity compared with those of normal tobacco plant, that may result from the higher light sensitivity of the transgenic plants than that of the normal.

The genetically-engineered Escherichia coli strain, DPD2540, which contains a fabA:::luxCDAbefusion gene, gives a bioluminescent output when membrane fatty acid synthesis is needed. For more pactical application of this strain in the filed as biosensor, freezedrying was adopted. A 12% surcrose solution with Luria-Bertani (LB) broth, as determined by the viability after freeze-drying, was found to be most most effective composition for lyophilization solution among various compositions testitons tested. Rapid freezing with liquid nitrogen also gave the best viability after freeze-drying as compared to samples frozen at-7$0^{\circ}C$ and -2$0^{\circ}C$. The biosensing activities of the cells showed a greater sensitivity when the cells from the expontial phase were freeze-dried. Finally, the optimum temperature for use of the freeze-dried cells in the biodencor field was determined.

Gas sensing materials for detecting inflammable gas such as alcohol, propane, acetic acid, carbon monoxide, hydrogen were developed by utiliting $MgO-Cr_2O_3-TiO_2$ system. Between 30$0^{\circ}C$ and 50$0^{\circ}C$, reversible chemisorption becomes dominant and the electrical canduction of P-type semiconductive with the gas chemisorption. The ceramic sensor exhibits a high sensitivity to particular reducing gas such as alcohol, whereas propane and butane have little effect on the resistivity. The time response of adsorption is estimated to be about 20 sec. On the other hand, the desorption process, which corresponds to oxidation due to oxygen adsorption, take more than 60 sec. Thus the ceramic sensor can be used as a alcohol sensor in an ambient aunosphere. As the oxygen concentration is increased from 0.1 to 10 precent($10^3-10^6ppm$), the resistance decreases rapidly but stabilizes at higher concentration.

The diagnostic assay of calcium ion was sought using a modified sensor with square-wave stripping voltammetry (SWSV) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). In this study, simple graphite pencil was used as working, reference, and auxiliary electrodes. By coating the working electrodes with DNA, their sensitivity was very much improved, and good results were yielded. Moreover, clean seawater was used as an electrolyte solution instead of acid and base electrolytes to lessen the expenses involved in the experiment. The analytical optimum conditions were also examined. These conditions were attained at the low detection limit of $0.6ugL^1$. After that, the results were applied to drinking water of milk contain.

In order to facilitate the quality control of betaine from the fruits of Lycium chinense, we have developed a rapid and simple method for quantitative determination. Determination was achieved on a Discovery C18 column with an isocratic solvent system of 0.32% perfluoropentanoic acid aqueous-acetonitrile at a flow-rate of 0.5 mL/min and detected an ELSD. The method was reproducible with intra- and inter-day variations of less than 6% (R.S.D). The recoveries were in the range of 90.01~100.05%. The method turned out to be fast and simple, furthermore, to have a good selectivity and sensitivity for the quantity determination of betaine in the fruits of L.chinense.

Tin dioxide nanoparticles are prepared using a newly developed synthesis method of plasma-assisted electrolysis. A high voltage is applied to the tin metal plate to apply a high pressure and temperature to the synthesized oxide layer on the metal surface, producing nanoparticles in a low concentration of sulfuric acid. The particle size, morphology, and size distribution is controlled by the concentration of electrolytes and frequency of the power supply. The as-prepared powder of tin dioxide nanoparticles is used to fabricate a gas sensor to investigate the potential application. The particle-based gas sensor exhibits a short response and recovery time. There is sensitivity to the reduction gas for the gas flowing at rates of 50, 250, and 500 ppm of $H_2S$ gas.
