In this study, the rutin contents in buckwheat and buckwheat foods were determined. Rutin in buckwheat and buckwheat foods was extracted with methanol and separated by High Performance Liquid Chromatography(HPLC) equipped with Lambda-Max Model 481 detector set at 355 nm using a ${\mu}$ Bondapak $C_{18}$ column and a 2.5% acetic acid:methanol:acetonitrile (35:5:10, v:v:v) solvent. There were differences in the rutin contents among the different species of buckwheat. The rutin contents in buckwheat groats were ranged from 8.84 mg to 24.77 mg/100g. The rutin contents in commercial buckwheat groats and flours were ranged from 15.04 mg to 20.92 mg/100g. The rutin contents in commercial dried buckwheat noodles, steamed buckwheat noodles, and buckwheat cookies were ranged from 1.76 mg to 10.84 mg/100g.

As a search for natural antioxidants, antioxdative fractions in Pueraria roots were extracted, identified using column chromatography, thin layer chromatography or high performance liquid chromatography. The components which have most effective antioxidative activities were further identified by IR and GC-MS. Separated antioxidative components were then added to four different oils to examine their antioxidative activities. Yield of extract obtained from pueraria root powder by solvent extraction using four step solvent systems was 2.54%. Antioxidative activity of the extracts was as effective as that of 100 ppm ${\delta}$-tocopherol addition, when 0.1% of the extracts was added to linoleic acid. The strongest antioxidative component of methanol extract of pueraria root was identified as puerarin. Aunioxidative activity of puerarin on lard was more effective than ${\alpha}$-tocopherol, but less effective than ${\delta}$-tocopherol. When the puerarin was added to edible oil and heat treated at $145^{\circ}C$, the acid value was lowest in lard and was highest in soybean oil. Antioxidative activity in terms of carbonyl value, thiobarbituric acid value and anisidine value was most high in palm oil and least in soybean and cottonseed oil.

Background: Ginsenosides are the unique and bioactive components in ginseng. Ginsenosides are affected by the growing environment and conditions. In New Zealand (NZ), Panax ginseng Meyer (P. ginseng) is grown as a secondary crop under a pine tree canopy with an open-field forest environment. There is no thorough analysis reported about NZ-grown ginseng. Methods: Ginsenosides from NZ-grown P. ginseng in different parts (main root, fine root, rhizome, stem, and leaf) with different ages (6, 12, 13, and 14 years) were extracted by ultrasonic extraction and characterized by Liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry. Twenty-one ginsenosides in these samples were accurately quantified and relatively quantified with 13 ginsenoside standards. Results: All compounds were separated in 40 min, and a total of 102 ginsenosides were identified by matching MS spectra data with 23 standard references or published known ginsenosides from P. ginseng. The quantitative results showed that the total content of ginsenosides in various parts of P. ginseng varied, which was not obviously dependent on age. In the underground parts, the 13-year-old ginseng root contained more abundant ginsenosides among tested ginseng samples, whereas in the aboveground parts, the greatest amount of ginsenosides was from the 14-year-old sample. In addition, the amount of ginsenosides is higher in the leaf and fine root and much lower in the stem than in the other parts of P. ginseng. Conclusion: This study provides the first-ever comprehensive report on NZ-grown wild simulated P. ginseng.

Cryptomonads are unicellular, biflagellate algae. Generally, cryptomonad cells cannot be preserved well because of their fragile nature, and an improved methodology should be developed to identify cryptomonads from natural habitats. In this study, we tried using several cytological fixatives, including glutaraldehyde, formaldehyde, and their combinations to preserve field samples collected from various waters, and the currently used fixative, Lugol's solution was tested for comparison. Results showed that among the fixatives tested, glutaraldehyde preserved the samples best, and the optimal concentration of glutaraldehyde was 2%. The cell morphology was well preserved by glutaraldehyde. Cells kept their original color, volume, and shape, and important taxonomic features such as furrow/gullet complex, ejectosomes, as well as flagella could be observed clearly, whereas these organelles frequently disappeared in Lugol's solution preserved samples. The osmotic adjustments and buffers tested could not preserve cell density significantly higher. Statistical calculation showed the cell density in the samples preserved by 2% glutaraldehyde remained stable after 43 days of the fixation procedure. In addition, DNA was extracted from glutaraldehyde preserved samples by grinding with liquid nitrogen and the 18S rDNA sequence was amplified by PCR. The sequence was virtually identical to the reference sequence, and phylogenetic analyses showed very close relationship between it and sequences from the same organism. To sum up, the present study demonstrated that 2% unbuffered glutaraldehyde, without osmotic adjustments, can preserve cryptomonads cells for identification, in terms of both light microscopy and phylogenetic analyses based on DNA sequences.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate on the interfacial morphology between dentin and restorative materials. In this in vitro study, the cavity wall restorated with 3 different kinds of tooth colored restorative materials [resin-modified Glass Ionomer cement (Fuji II LC), composite resin (Z-100), compomer (Dyract)]. The thirty extracted human molar teeth without caries and/or restorations are used. The experimental teeth were randomly divided into three groups of ten teeth each. In each group, Wedge shaped cavities (width: 3mm, length: 2mm, depth: 1.5mm) were prepared at the cementoenamel junction on buccal and lingual surfaces. The adhesive of composite resin were mixed with rhodamine B. Primer of composite resin, Prime & Bond 2.1 of Dyract and liquid of Fuji II LC were mixed with fluorescein. In group 1, the cavity wall was treatment with dentin conditioner, and then restorated with Fuji II LC. In group 2, the cavity wall was treatment with Prime & Bond 2.1 and then restorated with Dyract. In group 3, the cavity wall was etching with 10% maleic acid, applied with primer and bonding agent and then restorated with Z-100. The interface between dentin and restorative materials was observed by fluoresence imaging with a confocal laser scanning microscope. The results were as follows : 1. In Glass ionomer group, adaptation of resin modified Glass-ionomer restoration against cavity wall is tight, but the crack formed inside of restoration were observed. 2. In Dyract group, the penetration of resin tag is shorter and the width of hybrid layer is narrower than composite resin group. 3. In Z-100 group, primer penetrated deeply through dentinal tubule. Also bonding agent was penetrated along the primer, but the penetration length is shorter than primer part, and in 3-D image, the resin tag is conical shape and lateral branch is observed.

A liquid chromatographic method with tandom spectrometric detection (LC/MS/MS) for the simultaneous determination of doxifluridine and its active metabolite, 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) was developed over the concentration range of $5{\sim}2000$ ng/ml, respectively. Doxifluridine, 5-FU and internal standard, 5-chlorouracil (5-CU), were extracted from liver and intestine tissue via protein precipitation. Acetonitrile was used as the extraction solvent and the supernatant was evaporated and reconstructed in mobile phase. Optimum chromatographic separation was achieved on a Agilent Zorbax $C_{18}$ ($100\;mm{\times}2.1\;mm$, $3.5\;{\mu}m$) column with mobile phase run in isocratic with methanol : water (20 : 80, v/v). The flow rate was 0.2 ml/min with total cycle time of 5 min. The lower limit of quantification was validated at 5.0 ng/ml of liver and intestine tissue, for both doxifluridine and 5-FU, respectively. The intra-day and inter-day precision and accuracy of quality control (QC) samples were <11% coefficient of variation and <7% relative error from theoretical concentration for both analytes. In addition, the special designed stability study was performed, because the metabolism of doxifluridine occurs spontaneously even in ice bath for monkey liver. The stability of doxifluridine in liver and intestine of monkey and beagle dog was compared. It was found that bioanalytical validation could not be performed for the monkey liver; however, beagle dog's liver has relatively low speed of metabolism compared to monkey liver and instead of monkey liver, beagle dog's liver could be used for the validation. Bioanalytical validation could be performed in monkey intestine. Eventually, this developed method for liver and intestine will be useful in support of the toxicokinetic and pharmacokinetic studies of doxifluridine and 5-FU.

A method was developed to separate, detect and qualify aldicarb, bendiocarb, carbaryl, carbofuran, ethiofencarb, methomyl, methiocarb, propoxur in meats and fruits. Experimental beef and fork samples were fortified with 0.05mg/kg of carbamate pesticides for analysis. Carbamate-detected pear by HPLC fluorescence detector(HPLC/FLS) are extracted with acetonitril and refined by solid phase extraction(SPE) filled with aminopropyl-bonded silca, In the following step, the injected materials into LC/MS are analyzed to result in the fact that bendiocarb, carbaryl, carbofuran, ethiofencarb, methomyl, methiocarb, propoxur presents several sorts of fraction ions following with; [M+H]$^{+}$, [M+Na]$^{+}$,［M-CONH$CH_3$]$^{+}$, [M-OCONH$CH_3$]$^{+}$. In addition, ethiofencarb presents [M-SCH$_2$$CH_3$]$^{+}$ ion distinctive and aldicarb presents [M+Na]$^{+}$ and [M-OCONH$CH_3$]$^{+}$ ion which is the most decisive fraction ion for pesticides such as bendiocarb, carbaryl, carbofuran, ethiofencarb, methiocarb, methomyl, propoxur excluding [M+H]$^{+}$ ion. However, [M-OCONH$CH_3$]$^{+}$ and [M-OCONH$CH_3$]$^{+}$ fraction ion charactering carbamate pesticides are detected most efficiently with fragment voltage 50ev. As a result, for rluantitative analysis, [M+Na]$^{+}$ ion is the most decisive ion for detection of aldicarb and [M+H]$^{+}$ ion is the most decisive fraction ion for Pesticides such as bendiocarb, carbaryl, carbofuran, ethiofencarb, methiocarb, methomyl, propoxur. Carbaryl-detected pear by HPLC/FLS are analyzed by L/MS and the result shows that [M+H]$^{+}$ and [M-CONH$CH_3$]$^{+}$ ions charactering carbaryl are detected.ering carbaryl are detected.

Silver-alginate and copper-alginate were prepared with Na-alginate extracted from marine brown algae(Sargassum fluitans). The antibacterial effect of Ag-alginate or Cu-alginate against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli was carried out by measuring optical density of liquid culture at 600 nm. The cell growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli was very active at pH 7, and was inhibited by adding Ag-alginate with more than 0.006 wt.% of silver content. The antibacterial effect of Ag-alginate against S. aureus and E. coli was better than that of Cu-alginate at the same metal concentration. The cell growth of S. aureus was less inhibitory than E. coli at the same concentration of Ag-alginate. The cell growth of S. aureus and E. coli was also influenced by the characteristics of counter ion of silver.
