To develop a methodology for absolute determination of the surface areal density of functional groups on organic and bio thin films, medium energy ion scattering (MEIS) spectroscopy was utilized to provide references for calibration of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) or Fourier transformation-infrared (FT-IR) intensities. By using the MEIS, XPS, and FT-IR techniques, we were able to analyze the organic thin film of a Ru dye compound ($C_{58}H_{86}O_8N_8S_2Ru$), which consists of one Ru atom and various stoichiometric functional groups. From the MEIS analysis, the absolute surface areal density of Ru atoms (or Ru dye molecules) was determined. The surface areal densities of stoichiometric functional groups in the Ru dye compound were used as references for the calibration of XPS and FT-IR intensities for each functional group. The complementary use of MEIS, XPS, and FT-IR to determine the absolute surface areal density of functional groups on organic and bio thin films will be useful for more reliable development of applications based on organic thin films in areas such as flexible displays, solar cells, organic sensors, biomaterials, and biochips.

Objectives : The purpose of this paper was to suggest new diagnostic method that was to supersede the estimation of electrical properties at acupoints. Thus, we developed the multi- frequencies bioelectrical impedance measurement system so as to analyze the state of bio-ions in body fluid as body compositions, not skin impedance at acupoint. Methods : At low frequency, the current does not penetrate the cell membrane and at high frequency, the current passes through both intracellular and extracellular fluid because of the decreas of cell membrane impedance. To confirm the reflection of composition in extracellular fluid or intracellular fluid of segment such as acupoint, the system was developed to detect the acupoint potential between adjacent two points in the area of LU3, LU4 and LU9 using 5,50 and 200KHz. Results : The detected acupoint potential has been decreased according to elevation of frequency. As a result of correlation of left/right identical acupoint, we observed a high correlation of three types of acupoint potential at multi-frequencies. Moreover, we observed the low correlation at 5KHz, and that was a significant factor to be considered as unbalanced relationship of identical acupoints. Conclusions : On the basis of meridian theoretical point of view, we may infer the acupoint's physiological composition using the multi-frequencies bioelectrical impedance measurement system.

EC 기준 순환식 양액재배에서 식물의 양분 흡수와 배액율은 재사용 양액 내의 이온 비율과 농도에 영향을 미친다. 본 연구는 파프리카(Capsicum annum L. 'Boogie')의 EC 기준 순환식 양액재배에서 시간과 배액율에 따른 이온 농도의 변화를 분석하기 위해 수행하였다. 첫 번째 실험에서 수집된 배액을 EC $2.2dS{\cdot}m^{-1}$로 조정하고 새로 조성한 양액과 혼합하여 재사용 하고 주기적으로 샘플링 하여 이온의 농도를 분석하였다. 두번째 실험은 7%, 16%, 39%, 51%의 배액율을 적용하고 배액과 배액을 원수로 희석하고 새로 조성한 양액과 혼합하였을 때의 EC 변화와 이온 농도를 분석하고 비교하였다. 재사용 양액에서의 $K^+$ : $Ca^{2+}$와 $SO_4^{2-}$ : $NO_3^-$와 같은 이온 간의 비율 변화를 조사하였다. 첫번째 실험에서의 이온 농도의 변화 범위는 각각 $K^+$ 1.13, $Ca^{2+}$ 5.35, $Mg^{2+}$ 0.92, $NO_3^-$ 0.9 $SO_4^{2-}$ 1.10, $PO_4^{3-}$ $0.19meq{\cdot}L^{-1}$이었다. 이온 간의 비율 변화는 양이온에서는 주로 $K^+$ : $Ca^{2+}$을 중심으로 음이온에서는 $NO_3^-$ : $SO_4^{2-}$을 중심으로 나타났다. 두 번째 실험에서 배액율에 따른 배액의 배액율이 증가함에 따라 점차 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다. 배액 내 각 이온의 농도도 배액율의 증가에 따른 감소 경향을 보였다. 배액율에 따른 배액 내 이온 간의 비율 변화에는 차이가 없었다. 그러나 배액을 희석하고 새로 조성한 양액과 혼합함에 따라 교정 효과에 차이가 나타났다. 7% 의 배액율이 새 양액의 이온 비율에 가장 근접하였으며, 16%, 51% 39% 순으로 교정되었다. 교정에 따른 이온 비율 변화는 $K^+$ : $Ca^{2+}$와 $NO_3^-$와 $PO_4^{3-}$를 중심으로 나타났다.

Black pine barks from the southern region of Korea were extracted using pressurized hot water and the water soluble extracts were then separated in a stepwise fashion using a variety of solvents, column chromatography (CC), thin layer chromatography (TLC), and high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). The antioxidant activities of each fraction and the active compounds were determined based on the radical scavenging activities of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), reductive potential of ferric ion, and total phenol contents. A DPPH test showed that the half maximal effective concentration ($EC_{50}$ value : $6.59{\pm}0.31\;{\mu}g/mL$) of the ethyl acetate fraction (ca. 0.67%) was almost the same as that of the control compounds and inversely proportional to the value of the total phenol contents. The cell viability of the water extracts was confirmed by methyl thiazol-2-yl-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) with enzyme linked immune sorbent assay (ELISA). Catechin, epicatechin, quercetin and ferulic acid were isolated from the ethyl acetate fraction as active compounds and identified by nuclear magnetic resonance. The antioxidant activity as value of DPPH of each of the separated compounds was lower than the ethyl acetate fraction, and ferulic acid was the lowest among these compounds.

In this study, n-butanol and ethyl acetate extracts were prepared from raw yam (Dioscorea batatas DECNE.). Their antioxidative potencies were investigated employing various in vitro methods, such as ferrous ion chelating, ${\beta}$-carotene bleaching assay, lipid peroxidation inhibition and nitric oxide (NO) radical scavenging and nitrite scavenging activity. The n-butanol fraction was assayed to possess stronger antioxidant activity by ${\beta}$-carotene bleaching assay, lipid peroxidation inhibition and NO radical scavenging activity. However, ethyl acetate extract was more effective in chelating ferrous ion and scavenging nitrite. Based on the results obtained, yam is a potential active ingredient that could be applied in antioxidation as well as bio-health functional food to take a good part in prevention of human diseases and aging.

This study aims to evaluate the antioxidative activities of cow-milk kefir and goat-milk kefir. Antioxidative mechanisms, including radical-scavenging effects, ferrous-ion chelating ability, reducing power and antioxidant activity, were investigated herein. Kefirs demonstrated significantly greater scavenging effects upon 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and superoxide radicals, an inhibition effect upon linoleic-acid peroxidation, and more substantial reducing power, but reduced glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity than was the case for milks. There was no significant difference between milks and kefirs as regards ferrous-ion chelating ability and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity. These findings have demonstrated that kefirs possess antioxidant activity, thereby suggesting that kefirs are potential candidates for the role of useful natural antioxidant supplements for the human diet.

A gallocyanine-bound nanoporous titanium dioxide electrode system was investigated to carry out a mediated enzyme reaction. Gallocyanine was bound either directly or through an aminopropylsilane linker to the film of nanoporous titanium dioxide and used as a mediator for nitrate reductase in the mediated enzymatic nitrate reduction. The electrode with the aminopropylsilane linker showed 20% higher efficiency of electron transfer at the same potential than that directly linked. The prepared electrodes showed $0.26{\mu}mol/h$ nitrate reduction at a $100mm^2$ surface of the electrode, and linear current response on nitrate ion concentration up to 1.0 mM, which is very useful as a biosensor of nitrate ion in water.

Acetyl-L-carnitine, a physiological component of the L-carnitine family, has been proposed for treating Alzheimer's disease in pharmacological doses. Acetyl-L-carnitine and d3-acetylcarnitine (internal standard) were analyzed by electrospray ionization / tandem mass spectrometry (ESI/MS/MS) after derivatization to their butylesters through treatment with butanolic hydrogen chloride. Acetyl-L-carnitine produced a protonated precursor ion at m/z 260 and a corresponding product ion of m/z 85. Analytes were separated on a Capcell Pak C18 (2.0${\times}$150mm, 5 mm). (omitted)
