Maximum amount of the aminopeptidase M inhibitors produced by Streptomyces griseoplanus SL20209 in 500 ml-Erlenmeyer flask was accumulated after cultivation for 3 days at 28$\circ$C, thereafter the amount of inhibitors decreased slowly with a pH change to alkaline. Arabinose, xylose, mannose and soluble starch were good carbon sources for the production of the inhibitors. On the other hand, glucose was only good for the cell growth but potently inhibited the production of inhibitors. Natural organic nitrogen sources such as soybean meal, fish meal, gluten meal and peanut powder were good for the production of inhibitors, however, soytone, peptone and inorganic nitrogens such as NH$_{4}$C1 and NH$_{4}$NO$_{3}$ were poor. Inclusion of yeast extract (0.5%, w/v) or K$_{2}$HPO$_{4}$ (0.05%) into the production medium increased the production of inhibitors by accelerating cell growth. The production of inhibitors was slightly increased on the medium containing CaCO$_{3}$ (0.3%) and zeolite (0.5%), respectively. Optimal temperature and initial pH range for the production ot inhibitors were determined to be 28$\circ$C and 6.0-7.0, respectively. Employing two improved production media consisting of 3% arabinose or soluble starch, 2.5% soybean meal, 0.5% yeast extract, 0.05% K$_{2}$HP0$_{4}$, 0.1% CaCO$_{3}$ and 0.3% zeolite (pH 6.8), 1.8-fold increase in the amount of inhibitors was achieved, comparing with the basal medium used.

The physicochemical properties of the $\alpha$-amylase inhibitors from black bean and naked barley is Korea were investigated. Preincubation time for maximum inhibition was 30min and no activity change was seen after that time. Optimum pH of the $\alpha$-amylase inhibitors from the black bean and naked barley was pH 7.0 and the inhibitory activities were stable in the range of pH 6.0~8.0 in both phosphate and Tris-HCI buffer solutions. Both inhibitors maintained more than 50% of activity after incubation for 17 min at 7$0^{\circ}C$. The inhibitors from the black bean and naked barley maintained more than 50% of activities after treatment for 40 min and 30 min with pepsin, and 30 min and 50 min with trypsin, respectively. Both inhibitors functioned via a noncompetitive mechanism and were active against porcine pancreatic and human salivary $\alpha$-amylases. The activities of both inhibitors were linear for the ionic stength ranging from 0 to 0.9. The addition of 70 mM maltose to the reaction mixture caused a maximum increase in the relative activities of both inhibitors, but it did not affect the dissociation of the EI complex. The activities of both inhibitors were significantly enhanced by adding 1mM of K+ or Mg2+.

Vascular smooth muscle relaxation is modulated by an increase in cGMP subsequent to nitric oxide (NO) production by endothelial cells. The effects of cAMP and cGMP phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors were investigated in phenylephrine-precontracted rat aorta rings by using the specific inhibitors of PDE I, III, IV and V as relaxing agents (calmodulin-activated PDE inhibitors, IBMX and $W_7$, type I; cAMP-specific PDE inhibitors, milrinone, type IV; Ro 20-1724, type III and cGMP-specific PDE inhibitor, zaprinast, type V). All the PDE inhibitors produced a concentration-dependent relaxation in the ring with intact endothelium (+E). Except for milrinone, all the PDE inhibitors-induced relaxations were inhibited by removal of extracellular $Ca^{2+}$, $N^G$-nitro-L-arginine, $N^G$-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester, methylene blue (MS) or nifedipine. The specific PDE I and PDE IV inhibitors both produced endothelium-independent relaxations which were inhibited by MS in -E rings. However, zaprinast had no effect in -E rings. Except for milrinone, sodium nitroprusside (a NO donor)-induced relaxation was significantly augmented by all PDE inhibitors in +E rings. The results suggest that I) the vasorelaxant properties of IBMX, $W_7$, Ro 20-1724 and zaprinast are dependent on endothelium or on interaction with $Ca^{2+}$ regulation, 2) each PDE is differently distributed in vascular tissues (endothelial and smooth muscle cells), 3) the vasodilations of PDE inhibitors are due to the increase of cAMP and cGMP formation through inhibition of cAMP- and cGMP-PDE and 4) the vasodilation action of milrinone does not involve in endothelial-cyclic nucleotide system.

Influences of Co and inhibitors from nano-sized WC materials were observed in the sintering process. VC and $Cr_3C_2$ were used as inhibitors. The crystal structure and surface images of sintered nano-sized WC materials, as functions of Co and inhibitors, were evaluated by XRD and FE-SEM analyses. The relative densities of sintered nano-sized WC materials did not change even with increased quantity of Co and increased temperature. The density of sintered nano-sized WC materials with inhibitors was lower than that of sintered nano-sized WC materials without inhibitors. No difference in hardness due to change of inhibitors was found.

To determine the regulatory roles of phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors on $PGE_2$-induced osteoclastogenesis, we investigated the effect of PDE inhibitors on osteoclast formation in the presence of $PGE_2$. Among PDE isozyme specific inhibitors, milrinone, a selective PDE3 inhibitor, and rolipram, a specific PDE4 inhibitor, increased $PGE_2$-induced osteoclast formation in cocultures of mouse bone marrow cells and osteoblasts. To verify that whether the PDE3 and PDE4 inhibitors act indirectly on osteoblasts, we measured the concentration of intracellular cAMP in osteoblasts. Treatment of milrinone or rolipram increased $PGE_2$-stimulated cAMP levels in osteoblasts. Furthermore, northern blot analysis revealed that the PDE3 and PDE4 inhibitors works synergistically with $PGE_2$ to increase the expression of TRANCE mRNA in osteoblasts. On the contrary, the PDE3 and PDE4 inhibitors did not augment the number of osteoclasts differentiated from bone marrow cells by $PGE_2$. In conclusion, the stimulation of $PGE_2$-induced osteoclast formation by the PDE3 and PDE4 inhibitors are attributable to their indirect effect on osteoblasts, not to their direct effect on bone marrow-derived osteoclast precursors.

염화물에 의한 콘크리트 중의 철근부식을 억제하기 위하여 콘크리트 배합시 방청제를 사용하는 방안이 일반적으로 많이 사용되고 있으나. 국내에서는 아직까지 방청제의 방식효과에 대한 연구는 찾아보기 어려운 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 염화물의 영향을 받는 콘크리트 중의 철근부식 억제를 위한 방안으로 방청제를 사용하여 철근의 방청효과를 알아보기 위하여 3종류의 방청제와 각각 사용량을 변화시킨 시험체를 제작하여 부식촉진 실험을 실시하였으며, 철근의 자연전위와 부시면적율을 측정하여 방식효과에 대하여 평가하였다. 그 결과 염화물의 혼입량이 지나치게 많을 경우에는 방청제의 양을 증가시켜도 방청효과가 크게 향상되지 않았으나. 염화물의 혼입량을 동일하게 사용하고 방청제의 양을 증가시켜도 방청효과가 크게 향상되지 않았으나, 염화물의 혼입량을 동일하게 방청제의 양을 증가시킬 경우에는 방청효과가 현저하게 좋아짐을 알 수 있었다.

Effects of $\alpha$-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) and $\alpha$-difluoromethylarginine (DFMA), inhibitors of polyamine syntheic enzymes (ornithine decarboxylase, arginine decarboxylase), on ovary were investigated during pupal-adult development of Helicoverpa assulta. Two inhibitors (DFMO, DFMA) showed definite inhibition effects on ovarian development. The inhibition effect on ovaries weight was more marked in DFMA-injection than that observed in DFMO-injection. Two inhibitors (DFMO, DFMA) gave rise to a peculiar decrease in ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) or arginine decarboxylase (ADC) activity in ovaries, 72 hrs (5-day old pupa) post injection. However, DFMO clearly exhibited supression of ODC activity after 96 hrs (6-day old pupa). In addition, two inhibitors (DFMO, DFMA) diminished putrescine content in the ovary. The spermidine level was slightly decreased by each injection of the inhibitors. However, two inhibitors (DFMO, DFMA) raised the spermine content at certain developmental stages in the ovary. Although the effect of DFMA was less severe, two inhibitors (DFMO, DFMA) caused not only an overall delay in ovarian development, but also abnormalities in cellular differentiation. Noted effects in the pupal ovary were the appearance of irregular nurse cells and partial destruction of follicle epidermal cells. Adult ovary showed rapid degradation of nurse cells, a reduction in the number of follicle epidermal cells and immature oocytes that had a low yolk content.

Concern about green water problem has surfaced as a serious issue in Korea. In order to solve this problem, it is necessary to research inhibition of green water and corrosion control of copper pipe in water service. This paper discovered that moderate corrosion inhibitors can solve the green water problem and copper corrosion in water service by adding the optimal concentration of corrosion inhibitors based on regulation. Firstly, in the case of phosphate based corrosion inhibitors, as dosage of the corrosion inhibitor increases from 1 mg/L to 5 mg/L, the relative effect of corrosion inhibitor declines rapidly. Secondly, except for 1 mg/L dosage of silicate based inhibitor, relative effects of the inhibitor displays a positive number depending on inhibitor concentration. The most significant result is that the amount of copper release shows a downward trend, whereas the phosphate based inhibitor accelerates copper ion release as the inhibitor dosage increases. Thirdly, as the dosage of mixed inhibitors increases to 10 mg/L, the copper release change shows a similar trend of phosphate based inhibitor. Lastly, according to the Langelier saturation index (LI), silicate based inhibitors have the most non corrosive value. Larson ratio (LR) indicates that phosphate based inhibitors are the least corrosive. Korea water index (KWI) represents that silicate based inhibitors are most effective in controlling copper pipe corrosion.
