In this paper, a new buffer control method is proposed for improving the performance of the frequency domain part of the 3D audio (3DA) core codec. For the proposed buffer control method, we first combine the 3DA RM9 with the 3GPP AAC buffer control method which includes the psychoacoustic model and rate-distortion control process with the spectral hole avoidance algorithm. Then, we revise the 3GPP buffer control method so as to achieve a faithful bit allocation to the frames with higher activity. With the MUSHRA test, we prove that the proposed buffer control method demonstrates better performance than the 3DA RM9 and 3GPP AAC.

DA-125, a new anthracycline antibiotic, showed antitumor activity against animal tumors and human tumors. Therefore we studied the cardiotoxic potential of DA-125 in hamsters and rats as a part of safety research, and compared it with that of doxorubicin(DXR). In acute cardiotoxicity test model used hamsters DA-125 was administered intravenously at a dose of 6, 9, 12 mg/kg, and DXR at 3 mg/kg was given. The electrocardiogram(ECG) of hamsters was recorded for 30 minutes after administration. The DA-125 caused slight ECG alterations at a dose of 6 mg/kg. At a dose of 12 mg/kg DA-125 induced moderate to remarkable changes in ECG like decrease of heart rate, widening of PR interval and 07 interval, and A-V block in 3 out of 5 animals. The severity of ECG alteration at 12 mg/kg of DA-125 was similar to that at 3mg/kg of DXR and these changes caused by DA-125 and DXR recovered within 10 minutes after injection. In chronic cardiotoxicity test model used rats, DA-125 was administered intravenously once a week for three weeks at a dose of 6, 9mg/kg and DXR was given at a dose of 6mg/kg. Electrocardiogram was recorded every week from the start of administration to 2 weeks after the last administration and the animals were sacrificed for histological heart examination at 1 week or 2 weeks after the last administration. DA-125 did not cause any abnormal changes in ECG and in histological heart examination due to administration, but DXR caused widening of ST segment, QRS complex, and QT interval from 1 week after administration and these changes were continued to necropsy. These alterations in ECG were accompanied by cardiac histological lesions such as vacuolation in myocardiac cells, interstitial edema and necrosis of myocytes. These results suggest that DA-125 is less cardiotoxic than DXR.

The pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution of DA-3285 (recombinant human erythropoietin, recently manufactured by Research Laboratories of Dong-A Pharmaceutical Company) were studied in the laboratory animals. The plasma, urine, and tissue concentration of DA-3285 were measured by a double-antibody sandwich enzyme immunoassay. After intravenous administration of DA-3285, 20, 100, 500 and 2500 units/kg to rats, the plasma concentrations declined polyexponentially with the terminal half-lives of 2.15, 2.10, 2.31, and 2.35 hr, respectively. Total body clearance (20.7∼26.6 mι/hr/kg) and apparent volume of distribution at steady state (57.2∼70.1 mι/kg) were independent of the dose and AUC increased proportionally with the dose. The renal clearance was much lower than total body clearance, suggesting that extrarenal clearance, presumably metabolism , plays a significant role in elimination of DA-3285. In all rat tissues, the tissue to plasma ratios were smaller than unity, indicating less affinity of DA-3285 to rat tissues and was proved by considerably less value of Vdss. After 3 times a week for consecutive 3 weeks i.v. administration of DA-3285, 100 units/kg to rats, the plasma concentrations and pharmacokinetic parameters of DA-3285 were not significantly different from those in a single administration. After s.c. administration to the rat, plasma concentrations of DA-3285 peaked at 6 hr and the extent of bioavailability was 26.7%. In mice, rabbits and dogs, at DA-3285 dose of 100 units/kg, the mean terminal haw-lives were 2.78, 3.05, and 4.01 hr, respectively. Compared with reported data in the literatures, DA-3285 has similar properties to rh-EPO manufactured by other companies in view of pharmacokinetics.

The aim of this study is to find out the changes that have happened to korea DA-BANG(tea-room). This survey was carried out from 1876 to 1997 and the subject of this study is korea DA-BANGS in Seoul. Following conclusions were obtained from this study. 1) DA-BANG came into being from Koryo ages and more DA-BANGS from 1920's. 2) DA-BANG has changed in the following order : GAEWHA DA-BAHG(that were used to meet, communicate and negotiate foreigners when out country was opening ports), MUNWHA DA-BANG(that were used cultural space for example, exhibitio, display etc.), SEANGWHAL DA-BANG(the place that used a part of living space ; meeting friends to make appointment, etc.), SANGUB DA-BANG(commercial tea-room ; the place that makes money.) 3) Considering early MUNWHA DA-BANG, we can regard the beginning of korea interior architecture as 1920's. 4) The decline of DA-BANG is due to the increase of vending machine, expensive tea, costly rent, employee's dear wages and customer's needs that pursues westernization and convenient life as well as the moodof more comfortable tea-room(for example, fresh air, agreeable mood etc.).

We cloned a gene encoding acetyl xylan esterase(axeA) of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) and studied its expression pattern in Escherichia coli. The full sequence of axeA was amplified by PCR. Sequence analysis of the PCR product revealed an open reading frame of 1,008 nucleotides encoding a protein consisted of 335 amino acid residues, with a calculated molecular mass of about 38 kDa. The base sequence showed 98% homology to the same gene of Streptomyces lividans. Two different kinds of acetyl xylan esterases were produced in Escherichia coli(pLacI) by IPTG induction; their molecular weights were 38 kDa and 34 kDa, respectively. Of these, 38 kDa protein seemed to be a total protein holding N-terminal signal peptide region, whereas 34 kDa protein seemed to be a matured protein without signal peptide which was produced by peptide bond cleavage between two amino acid residues of alanine 41 and alanine 42.

신장 근위세뇨관세포들은 사구체에서 여과된 물질의 재흡수, 분비 및 대사에 관여하는 여러 호르몬들의 수용체들을 가지고 있다. 이들중에서 dopamine(DA)과 angiotensin II(ANG II)가 $Na^{+}/H^{+}$ 상호운반계 조절에 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 본 연구는 초대배양한 토끼 신장 근위세뇨관세포의 $Na^+$ uptake에 있어서 DA과 ANG II의 상호관계를 알아보고자 실시하였다. DA은 농도의존적으로 $Na^+$ uptake를 유의성 있게 억제하였다($10^{-6}M$ ; $83.2{\pm}7.2%$, $10^{-3}M$ ; $67.2{\pm}3.8%$ vs. control)(p<0.05). $DA_1$ 작동제(SKF 38393, $10^{-6}M$)는 대조군의 $81.4{\pm}6.7%$ 까지 $Na^+$ uptake를 유의성 있게 억제하였으나(p < 0.05) $DA_2$ 작동제는 영향을 미치지 않았다. $DA_1$ 길항제(SCH 23390, $10^{-6}M$)에 의해 DA의 $Na^+$ uptake 억제효과는 차단되었으나 $DA_2$ 길항제(spiperone, $10^{-6}M$)에 의해서는 영향을 받지 않았다. DA과 대조적으로 $10^{-11}M$ ANG II는 $AT_1$ 수용체를 통하여 대조군의 $120.7{\pm}4.9%$까지 $Na^+$ uptake를 유의성 있게 촉진하였다. (p < 0.05). DA 및 $10^{-11}M$ ANG II를 병합처리하였을 때 DA은 농도의존적으로 ANG II에 유도된 $Na^+$ uptake 촉진효과를 유의성 있게 차단하였다(p<0.05). 한편 ANG II에 의해 유도된 $Na^+$ uptake촉진작용은 $DA_1$ 또는 $DA_2$ 작동제에 의해 차단되었으나 DA에 의한 차단 효과는 $DA_1$ 및 $DA_2$ 길항제를 병합처리하였을 때만 반전되었다. 결론적으로 DA은 $DA_1$ 수용체를 통하여 $Na^+$ uptake를 억제하였으나 ANG II에 의한 $Na^+$ uptake 촉진작용의 억제에는 $DA_1$ 및 $DA_2$ 수용체 모두가 관여하였다.

To prepare oligouronic acids from high-molecular-weight alginates, sea tangle (Laminaria japonica) alginates were hydrolyzed at various pHs for 1 hr at 80$^{\circ}C$. The effects of hydrolysis pH (HpH) on the average molecular weight (AMW) and MW distribution ratios (DRs) in the hydrolyzed alginates were investigated. As HpH decreased, the DRs of the alginates with MW>500 kDa and MW=300-500 kDa decreased exponentially, while it increased exponentially for MW<50 kDa. For MW=100-300 kDa, DR increased exponentially as HpH fell from 5.0 to 3.5, and then decreased exponentially. Similarly, for MW=50-100 kDa, DR increased exponentially as HpH increased to 1.0 from 5.0, and then decreased exponentially. As HpH decreased, the MW cutoff size and AMW of alginates fraction with the highest DR were decreased. For HpH 4.5 and 5.0, the MW cutoff size with the highest DRs was MW=300-500 kDa; the DRs were 28.9 and 32.6%, respectively; and the AMW of both was about 400 kDa, for HpH 3.5 and 4.0, the cutoff size was MW=100-300 kDa; the DRs were about 28%: and the AMWs were both about 200 kDa. For HpH 3.0, the cutoff size was MW=50-100; the DR was 29.0%; and the AMW was 73 kDa. For HpH values below 2.0, the MW cutoff size with the highest DRs was MW<50 kDa, and all of the AMWs were below 28 kDa.

The phytase(myo-inositol hexkisphosphate phosphohydrolase ; EC 3.1.3.8) activity was observed only in the homogenate of intestinal mucosa, though the activity of alkaline phisphatase was measurable in various organs. In addition, no protein bands were detected in any other organs on immunoblotting using the anti-90kDa phytase antiserum. Thses results suggest that phytase is specifically present in small intestinal mucosa, and that hydrolysis of phytic acid(inositol-hexakisphosphate) can be allotted for a physiological role of the intestine-specific enzyme. The activities of phytase was increased during development of rat. The 70kDa phytase appeared just after birth, but the 90kDa phytase was not observed until adult period, suggesting that the 90kDa phytase was synthesized in response to weanling.

Dissolution and degradation of the parasporal crystal proteins produced from B. thuringiensis var. kurstaki, B. thuringiensis var. dendrolimus and B. thuringiensis var. aizawai were investigated. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis showed that the crystals contained major protein with molecular weight of approximately 134 kDa for B. thuringiensis var. aizawai 143 kDa for B. thuringiensis var. kurstaki and 149 kDa for B. thuringiensis var. dendrolimus, respectively. Crystals of three other strains were incubated alkali solutions at various pH or gut juice of Silkwarm Bombyx mori, Fall webworm Hyphantria cunea, and Common Cabbage worm Pieris rapae. When crystals of these strains were solubilized by alkali solutions, no major differences among strains B. thuringiensis could be detected. Among the strains studied, crystal protins (130-66 kDa) consist of protease resistant polypeptides in the 45-66 kDa size range when treated with gut juice of three insect species.
