A neutral polysaccharide, GP, was isolated from a fermentation broth of Ganoderma lucidum Acid hydrolysis and a paper chromatography analysis indicated that the polysacchride was composed of glucose, xylose, and mannose. The molecular weight was estimated to be $2.9{\times}10^4$. The oral administration of GP to mice showed that it can inhibit liver damage induced by GalN and $CCl_4$.

Biodegradation of carbon tetrachloride (CTC) in denitrifying and aerobic columns was investigated under various conditions of electron-acceptor and electron-donor availability. CTC removal increased when the electron-acceptor (nitrate) injection was stopped in the denitrifying column; however, CTC remova1 decreased when electron donor (acetate) was deleted in the denitrifying and the aerobic column. Small fractions of the CTC removed appeared as chloroform, indicating that reductive dechlorination of CTC was occurring. The results from the denitrifying column support the hypothesis that CTC behaves as an electron acceptor that competes for the pool of available electrons inside the bacterial cells.

This paper proposes a fast and efficient method to extract the skin and bone automatically in CT images. First, the images were smoothed by applying an anisotropic diffusion filter to remove noise. The whole body was then detected by thresholding, which was set automatically. In addition, the contour of the skin was segmented using morphological operators and connected component labeling (CCL). Finally, the bone was extracted by iterative thresholding.

In this paper, a new size-reduction approach for branch-line coupler is introduced which uses parallel end-shorted coupled lines with lumped capacitors. The characteristic of the new design was analyzed using even-odd mode method, and simulated on HFSS before fabricated on the FR4 epoxy glass cloth copper-clad plat (CCL) PCB substrate at center frequency of 1 GHz. The electrical length of transmission line was reduced to 15 degrees, therefore the size of branch-line coupler was largely reduced approximately maintaining the same characteristic around the stable center frequency. The insertion loss of the branch-line coupler filter was -4.39 dB. The size of the overall hybrid is $20mm{\times}20mm$. Measurements results were well agreed with the simulated ones.

Arylmethyl halides(benzyl chloride, BZYC; benzal chloride, BZYA; benzotrichloride, BZTC) and related compounds(benzyl alcohol, BZYA; benzoyl chloride, BZOC) were determined by GC using capillary column. Detailed results are as follows. 1. Stability In methanol benzotrichloride slowly transferred to benzoyl chloride by hydrolysis(ca. 7.5% for 5 days), but the others were stable. Therefore, benzotrichloride solution should be prepared just before analysis. 2. GC analysis Tenax-GC was used to absorbent and desorption solvents were $CCl_4$ and MeOH. Arylmethyl halides were analyzed within 7.5min without interference with related compounds. The calibration curve(ca. 15-80 ppm in soln), repeatability(n=10) and the desorption efficiency were good. Limit of detection by NIOSH method was about 0.003 ppm for arylmethyl halide, respectively. To analyze arylmethyl halides and related compounds in working places GC using capillary column is anticipated to be used effectively.

Nine copper(Ⅱ) oxyanion, and mixed oxyanion complexes that have four- or five-coordinate geometries around copper(Ⅱ) centers were derived from sparteine copper(Ⅱ) dinitrate precursor [Cu($C_{15}$$H_{26}$N2)(NO3)2]. The precursor complex undergoes an anion exchange with various oxyanions, and an interchange reaction with other sparteine copper(Ⅱ) complexes. The [Cu($C_{15}$$H_{26}$N2)(CH3CO2)2] also undergoes "halogen atom abstraction" reaction with CCl4 to produce the mixed anion complex [Cu($C_{15}$$H_{26}$N2)(CH3CO2)Cl]. The whole set of prepared complexes has been used for the comparative electrochemical and spectroscopic studies.

Several biological activities of extracts from roots of Cichorium intybus Linne (Compositae) were studied in this paper. The antiinflammatory activity of the methanol extract of this root was investigated against carrageenin induced edema in rat‘s hind paw. Significant inhibitory effects were observed at the dose of 1,000 mg/kg and were compared with aspirin as a control. The hepatoprotective activities of the methanol extract, ethylacetate and butanol fraction were studied on mice whose livers are damaged by $CCl_4$. The serum transaminase activities (ALT, AST) were reduced at the dose of 1,000 mg/kg of the methanol extract, 500 mg/kg of ethylacetate and butanol fraction, respectively. The bile juice secretion was also increased significantly from each fraction. The antidiabetic activity was examined on strepto-zotocin-induced diabetic rats with methanol extract. Methanol extract gave a significant reduction of blood glucose levels in 1 week and 3 weeks.

To investigate the effect of ILGUAN-JEON on liver and gastrointestinal track. this experiment were performed and obtained results wewe as follows. 1. ILGUAN-JEON depressed the isolated intestine movement and showed anti- acethylcholine and barium chloride effect in mice. 2. ILGUAN-JEON showed anti- acethylcholine and barium chloride effect on isolated stomach in rats. 3. ILGUAN-JEON showed anti-ulcer effect in rats induced by indomethacin and pyrous cracking. 4. ILGUAN-JEON depressed the gastric lesion in rats induced by HCI-ethanol. 5. ILGUAN-JEON depressed the gastric juice and pepsin secretion, free acid and total acid level in Shay rats. 6. ILGUAN-JEON depressed the GOT and GPT level in rats induced by $CCl_4$ and d-galactosamine. From above results, think that ILGUAN-JEON can be applied to recover the liver and gastrointestinal function.

Two polysaccharides, ACP-UMP and ACP-ULF, were purified from the aerial part of Artemisia capillaris by anion-exchange chromatography, ultrafiltration, and gel filtration chromatography. The polysaccharides appeared to be homogenious from the results of HPLC. The molecular weights of ACP-UMF and ACP-ULF were estimated to be 16305.92 D and 3292.26 D, respectively, by MALDI-TOF MS. The sugar compositions were determined by GC to be arabinose 10.05%, xylose 1.67%, mannose 5.45G, galactose 39.06%, glucose 15.43% for ACP-UMF and arabinose 11.60%, xylose 11.15%, mannose 6.37% galactose 32.47%, glucose 18.35% for ACP-ULF. A polysaccharide, SP-M was determined to be 2462.52 D by MALDI-TOF MS. SP-M consisted mainly of rhamnose 36.49%, arabinose 29.00%, and glucose 19.38%. Incubation of CCl4-intoxicated hepatocytes with ACP-UMF reduced the levels of glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT) and cellular malondialdehyde (MDA) to 62.8% and 23.8%. ACP-ULF also reduced the levels of GPT and MDA to 46.1% and 38.1% and 26.3%, respectively.

Various amines (Triethylamine, Diethylamine, Dimethylaniline, Pyridine and Diphenylamine) and electron acceptors (Carbontetrachloride, iodine monochloride and iodine) were reacted in the hexane solvent system to form a charge transfer complex in each case. The tendency of forming a charge transfer complex by these electron acceptors was proportional to the basicity of amines and the different type of complex was formed as the polarity of electron donor had markedly changed, which were identified by ultraviolet spectrophotometry. A correlation between the formation of complex and the basicity of amine and the polarity of electron acceptor was discussed.
