Composition of intramuscular lipids, phospholipid classes and phospholipid molecular species in traditional Chinese duck meat products was investigated. Free fatty acids and phospholipids were identified and quantified by gas and high performance liquid chromatography, and phospholipid molecular species were determined by mass spectrometry. The results showed that raw duck meat had high quantities of phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine. The percentages of phospholipid classes decreased during three kinds of processing of duck meat products. A selective degradation of phospholipid molecular species with polyunsaturated fatty acids was found in dry-cured duck, but was not found in roasted and water-boiled duck products.

A sensitive surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensor for the detection of odorants has been constructed by depositing different phospholipids and fatty acids on the surface of the SAW device wi th the Langmuir-Blodgett technique. The characteristics of SAW device operating at 310 MHz deposited with phosphatidylcholine were analyzed. Amyl acetate, acetoin, menthone and other organic gases showed different affinities. The identification of odorants depending on the species of lipid used for coating is discussed in terms of the similarity of the normalized resonant frequency shift pattern. Using a number of different lipid-coated SAW devices, odorants could be identified by a neural-network pattern recognition with back-propagation algorithm.

The effects of amphotericin B (150 $\mu$g/ml) and cycloheximide (10 $\mu$g/ml) on the biosynthesis of phospholipid and their fatty acid composition in chloroplast isolated from Chlorella were analyzed to compare with control. The levels of total lipid, phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), and phosphatidylcholine (PC) in the group treated with antibiotics were decreased. However, the biosynthesis of phosphatidylinositol (PI) was not affected by antibiotics. The major fatty acid in chloroplast envelope was linolenic acid (27.71%) in control and stearic acid (21.59%) in the group treated with amphotericin B. It was showed that the group treated with cycloheximide contained more unsaturated fatty acid than the control.

Chemical and photochemical precesses during food storage an preparation rapidly degrade $\beta$-carotene, the most active form of carotenoids. We investigated the possibility of liposomes as tool to preserve $\beta$-carotene. Liposomes with $\beta$-carotene were prepared as multilamellar vesicles by using soybean phosphatidylcholine, in terms of the ratio of $\beta$-carotene to phospholipid and pH. Incorporated efficiency was 99.7% at 1:0.05 of phospholipid : $\beta$-carotene and at pH 9.0. As the concentration of $\beta$-carotene increased, the incorporated efficiency increased progressively. pH did not affect the incorporation efficiency greatly.

Hemoglobin is oxygen carrier protein within erythrocyte in blood. Apoprotein of this, globin, is synthesized in the cytosol but it's cofactor, heme, is synthesized in the mitochondria. It has not been known very well how globin receives the heme from mitochondria and folds to hemoglobin. In this folding process, the initial structure of globin seems to be very important. A small volume of globin at acid pH was added rapidly into the bulk of an egg phosphatidylcholine $60\%$ liposome, containing hemins, at neutral pH according to the Rapid Dilution method. It was observed that an acid-induced unfolding structure of globin is initially needed to receive hemins from the lipid bilayer of liposomes. Also, this conclusion was confirmed with the absorption spectrum of the refolded globin separated by centrifugation.

A novel drug delivery system, detergent-phospholipid mixed micelles as proliposomes, for water-insoluble compounds was developed by investigating (i) spontaneous formation of small unilamellar vesicles (SUV) from bile salt-egg phosphatidylcholine mixed micelles, (ii) the molecular mechanism of micelle-to-vesicle transition in aqueous mixtures of detergent-phospholipid, (iii) preparation and screening of a suitable liposomal formulation for a lipophilic drug: solubilization of the drug within the lipid bilayer, evaluation of the solubility limit, and characterization of the resulting product with respect to the physical properties and stability of the drug in the system, and (iv) testing antitumor activity in vitro. The results showed that the new carrier had a strong possibility to be a biocompatible universal formulation for water-insoluble drugs.

It is well known that the state of existence of molecules on the surface of water changes during compression of the molecules. Electric methods, such as the measurement of the surface potential or displacement current, are also useful for investigating dynamic changes of the molecular state on the water surface during compression. Maxwell-Displacement-Current(MDC) measuring technique has been applied to the study of monolayers of Arachidic acid and L-$\alpha$-Dimyristoyl Phosphatidylcholine(L-$\alpha$-DMPC). The displacement current was generated from monolayers on a water surface by monolayer compression. Displacement current was generated in the gas state, gas/liquid state, and liquid state in the course of monolayer compression. The researchers examined diplacement current of electric conduction organic monolayer generated due to orient change of monolayers alkylchain.

Escherichia coli에 copper chloride 50 ppm, manganese chloride 100 ppm, nickel chloride 100 ppm을 각각 처리하여 세포를 배양하는 동안에 이들 세포에서 일어나는 인지질 생합성 및 지방산 조성의 변화를 대조구와 비교하여 분석하였다. 세포의 생장과 total lipid, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylglycerol, cardiolipin은 대조구조에 비해 금속 화합물 처리구에서 저해되었는데 nickel chloride가 가장 큰 억제 효과를 나타내었다. 그러나 phosphatidylinositol은 금속화합물의 영향을 받지 않았다. 인지질 생합성에 이용된 주요 지방산은 대조구는 palmitic acid(평균 25.47%)와 palmitoleic acid(평균 12.27%)가 인지질 생합성에 도입되었고 copper chloride 처리구는 palmitic acid(평균 30.13%)와 stearic acid(평균 9.12%)로 나타났다. manganese chloride 처리구와 nickel chloride 처리구에서는 모두 palmitic acid(평균 24.16%, 평균 21.77%)와 linoleic acid(평균 9.48%, 평균 11.88%)가 인지질 생합성에 이용된 주요 지방산으로 분석되었다.

For transdermal delivery of ceramides, various liposomes formulations were studied and evaluated. Sodium deoxycholate (SDC), Tween 20 and Span 85 were used as edge activators. The skin permeation of ceramides was performed using a Franz cell apparatus with hairless mouse skin. Among edge activators, SDC showed the higher values of deformability index and skin permeation than did others. For optimization of formulations, we varied the ratios of lipids to edge activators and the compositions between phosphatidylcholine (PC) and ceramides. The optimal ratio of lipid to SDC was observed to be 6:1 (w:w) and that of PC and ceramide was 1:1. Our results suggest that the skin permeation of ceramides could be enhanced by optimized deformable formulations of liposomes containing SDC as a major edge activator.

Syndecan-4 cytoplasmic domain was tested to confirm the interactions with the bilayer membrane using $^{31}P$ solid-state NMR measurements. Syndecan-4 was known as a coreceptor with integrins in the cell adhesion. The syndecan-4 V region is not understood of its functional roles and tested its ability of the interaction with multilamellar vesicles. The $^{31}P$ powder pattern was dramatically changed and showed isotropic peak which imply the bilayer membrane changed its topology to the micelle-like structure. Especially, phosphatidylcholine membrane was affected this effect more than phosphatidylethanolamine membrane.
