Objectives: The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of drinking alcohol on bio-electrical potential at twelve source points. Methods: Twenty healthy adults were assigned to alcohol and water groups by a random cross-over design. Bio-electrical potential at twelve source points were measured before and after drinking alcohol or water and the change of bio-electrical potential was analyzed and compared between the alcohol and the water groups. Results: Bio-electrical potential at LI4, ST42, KI3, PC7, TE4, GB40, LR3 in the alcohol group was significantly increased compared to those in the water group. Conclusions: Drinking alcohol increased bio-electrical potential at source points of LI, ST, KI, PC, TE, GB and LR in healthy human subjects.

The rates of solvolysis of $cis-[Co(en)_2Cl_2]^+$ complex have been investigated using spectrophotometric method at various pressures up to 1500 bar in several binary-aqueous mixtures(water-methyl alcohol, water-acetone, water-isopropyl alcohol and water-ethylene glycol). The activation volumes obtained from the pressure effect on rate constants were 1.13∼4.44 cm3mole-1 for methyl alcohol, 1.13∼3.59$cm^3mole^{-1}$ for acetone, 0.82∼3.44$cm^3mole^{-1}$ for isopropyl alcohol and 1.13∼2.68cm3mole-1 for ethylene glycol. In case of water-methyl alcohol, in addition to, the rates of solvolysis of this complex were determined in the presence of Fe(Ⅱ) ion and the activation volumes were -0.56∼1.59cm3mole$^{-1}$. The rates of solvolysis of this complex were analyzed by comparing with the results obtained from activation volumes and free energy cycle.

The aim of this study was to find out the effectiveness on germinated seed of Rhynchosia Volubilis for Female Bone Morphogenesis. For this purpose, We compared two methods. water extract and alcohol extract using germinated Rhynchosia Volubilis(GRV) according to germinating days were conducted to measure the polyphosphate contents and investigate HOS-TE85 propagation rate. Both water and alcohol extract two methods were not toxicant. And if not excessively treated, alcohol extract rate were more about $5{\sim}15$ times than water extract rate. So usually water extract were better than alcohol extract. but in case of osteoporosis, alcohol extract were effective.

Lycium barbarum extract has a high potential to be developed as a health functional food due to the various health-promoting effects of Lycium barbarum. This study analyzed changes in nutritional and functional components depending on the extraction solvent (purified water and a mixture of purified water and alcohol) and the condition of the sample. The nutritional components (carbohydrates, protein, fat, ash), organic acids, amino acids, total phenolic compounds, and total flavonoids of the extract produced during the extraction process were analyzed. The nutritional composition and functional substances of the extracts showed some differences depending on the type of solvent and the condition of the sample. The amounts of crude protein (7.61%), crude fat (1.63%), carbohydrate (90.22%), and ash (0.54%) of dried Lycium barbarum extract using purified water as a solvent were similar to those of the powder sample extract. The highest content of citric acid was 4.31 mg/mL, similar to the case of acetic acid, when the powder sample used a mixture of purified water and alcohol as a solvent. The highest amino acid content was 357.39 mg/mL when the powder sample was mixed with purified water and alcohol as a solvent. The total amount of phenolic compounds was 686.16 g/L when the powder sample was extracted with a mixture of purified water and alcohol as a solvent. The highest total flavonoid content was 111.32 g/L when the powder sample was extracted with a mixture of purified water and alcohol as a solvent.

Objectives : To find out more pharmacologically efficient way of extraction of herbal dicoction, Gamichungsangbohatang (GMCSBHT). Methods : Several main components of GMCSBHT was compared and analysed between hot water extract of GMCSBHT and Alcohol(70% ethanol) extract of GMCSBHT via HPLC method. Results : Hot water extract of GMCSBHT showed relatively more component content than ethanol extract of GMCSBHT. Also weighted mean of main components of hot water extraction of GMCSBHT was higher than that of alcohol extract of GMCSBHT. But from chromatographic pattern analysis of matching ratio and similarity ratio showed that these two forms of extracts might have different chemical composition, and 3D PDA plot of alcohol extract of GMCSBHT showed high peaks near UV $190{\sim}220nm$ which was invisible in hot water extract of GMCSBHT. Conclusion : Alcohol extract of GMCSBHT may have some special components which do not exist in hot water extract of GMCSBHT.

Water and alcohol extracts were prepared from dried and powdered leaves of Thuja orientalis (T. orientalis). The reducing power, total phenolic content, the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl scavenging activity, inhibitory effect on Fe (II)-EDTA-$H_{2}O_{2}$ (Fenton reaction system) induced DNA damage and inhibitory effect on human red blood cell (RBC) hemolysis were evaluated in the present study. At a concentration of 200 mg, water and alcohol extracts of T. orientalis inhibited the hydrolysis of DNA by 72.859% and 65.312%, respectively. Water and alcohol extracts of T. orientalis also inhibited 2,2'-Azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride induced RBC hemolysis to the extent of 69.30% and 54.55%, respectively. The reducing power and antioxidative activity of water extract was found to be more than that of alcohol extract. This is attributable to the presence of higher amount of phenolic compounds in water extract. The present results indicate that the T. orientalis extracts are rich sources of natural antioxidants and can protect DNA and human red blood cells against free radical induced oxidative damage.

Poly(trimethylene terephthalate)(PTT) fiber was pretreated with organic solvent/water solution of various compositions. The organic solvents used in this experiment were benzyl alcohol, n-buthanol, and N,N-dimethylformamide(DMF). Density of the fibers were investigated as a measure of crystallite region. The dye uptake increased in the order of pretreatment with hot water < untreated < 5% benzyl alcohol < 100% benzyl alcohol < 90% benzyl alcohol; hot water < untreated $\risingdotseq$ 5% butanol < 100% beutanol < 90% butanol; hot water $\risingdotseq$ 5% DMF < untreated < 90% DMF < 100% DMF. The dye uptake increases with increase of crystallinity. It seems likely that the recrystallization process during the pretreatment with organic solvent/water solutions leads to an increase in the microvoid and then a large increase in the dye uptake. Also the dyeing rate increased and the dyeing transition temperature decreased with the pretreatments. The results obtained are corresponds with the plasticization of the fiber structure formed during the pretreatrnent.

The objective of this study is to provide the basic information for developing a high-value ginseng product using ginseng saponin and prosapogenin. In order to achieve such aim, Ginsenoside compositions of black ginseng (BG) extracts with various solvent conditions were examined by HPLC. The total saponin and the prosapogenin content of 95$\%$ ethyl alcohol extract were higher than that of the either 50$\%$ ethyl alcohol extract or distilled water extract. As a result, the order of the total saponin and the prosapogenin content was 1) 95$\%$ ethyl alcohol,2) 50$\%$ ethyl alcohol,3) the first and second mixture of 95$\%$ ethyl alcohol, distilled water, and 4) distilled water extract. In the case of fine black ginseng (FBG), the first and second mixture extracts of 95$\%$ ethyl alcohol and distilled water were the highest. In addition, the ratio of the protopanaxadiol group and the protopanaxatriol group (PD/PT) showed that the ratio of BG ranged from 0.304 to 0.601, while the ratio of FBG ranged from 1.166 to 1.657.

An artificial photolysis system of water or aqueous alcohol is studied. Upon irradiation of agarose gel system containing colloidal CdS or TiO$_2$ particles with Rh catalyst, hydrogen and oxygen are produced from water. When an alcohol is used as an electron donor in the agarose system, hydrogen and oxidized form of alcohol, the corresponding an aldehyde, is produced. The photolysis mechanism of water or alcohol in the agarose system is proposed.
