This study aimed to increase the sugar and ethanol yield from the mengkuang plant biomass through biological and liquid hot water (LHW) pretreatment and their combination. The results showed that biological pretreatments with 5% inoculum of the fungus Trametes versicolor resulted in the highest alpha cellulose content incubated for 30 days, and 10% inoculum resulted in the lowest lignin content. LHW pretreatment decreased the hemicellulose content of pulps from 10.17% to 9.99%. T. versicolor altered the structure of the mengkuang pulp by degrading the lignin and lignocellulose matrix. The resulting delignification and cellulose degradation facilitate the hydrolysis of cellulose into sugars. The alpha cellulose content after biological-LHW pretreatment was higher (78.99%) compared to LHW-biological pretreatment (76.85%). Scanning electron microscopy analysis showed that biological-LHW combinated treatment degrades the cell wall structures. The ethanol yield for biological-LHW pretreated sample was observed 43.86% (13.11 g/L ethanol by weight of the substrate, which is much higher than that of LHW-biological pretreatment (34.02%; 9.097 g/L). The highest reducing sugar content about 45.10% was observed with a resulting ethanol content of 15.5 g/L at LHW pretreatment temperature of $180^{\circ}C$ for 30 min.

This Study was designed to investigate the effects of Sibjeondaebo-tang (SDT) and Gamy-Sibjeondaebo-tang (GST, Sibjeondaebo-tang adding Cervi Pantotrichum Cornu) on the improvement in regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) and mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) in normal rats, and in the rats with cerebral ischemia induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion, and further to determine the mechanisms. And, It was to investigate the effects of the SDT and GST with the change of histologic examination through the BDNF in the hippocampus CA1. In changes of cerebral hemodynamics, SDT and GST significantly increased rCBF in a dose-dependent manner but decreased MABP in normal rats. In mechanism of cerebral hemodynamics, Increase of GST-induced rCBF was significantly inhibited by pretreatment with methylene blue (0.01 mg/kg, i.p.), an inhibitor of guanylate cyclase, and Decrease of GST-induced MABP was significantly increased by pretreatment with methylene. These results suggested that the action of GST was mediated by guantlate cyclase pathway. In cerebral ischemics, the rCBF was stably improved by SDT (10 mg/kg, i.p.) significantly and stably increased by GST (10 mg/kg, i.p.) during the period of cerebral reperfusion, which contrast with the findings of rapid and marked increase in Control group. These results suggested that GST had anti-ischemic action in cerebral ischemic state. In histological examination through TTC stain, Sample A group and Sample B group decreased discoloration in the cortical part at $28^{th}$ day after MCAO induction. In immunohistochemistric response of BDNF, Sample A group and Sample B group increased respondent effect at $28^{th}$ day after MCAO induction. These results suggest that GST can Increase rCBF in normal state, as well as improve the stability of rCBF in cerebral ischemic state. Furthermore, methylene blue inhibitor study suggested the mechanism of blood flow enhancement by GST may be mediated by guanylate cyclase pathway.

Capture of non-glycoproteins during lectin affinity chromatography is frequently observed, although it would seem to be anomalous. In actuality, lectin affinity chromatography works at post-translational modification (PTM) sites on a glycoprotein which is not involved in protein-protein interactions (PPIs). In this study, serial affinity column set (SACS) using lectins followed by proteomics methods was used to identify PPI mechanisms of captured proteins in human plasma. MetaCore, STRING, Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA), and IntAct were individually used to elucidate the interactions of the identified abundant proteins and to obtain the corresponding interaction maps. The abundant non-glycoproteins were captured with the binding to the selected glycoproteins. Therefore, depletion process in sample pretreatment for abundant protein removal should be considered with more caution because it may lose precious disease-related low abundant proteins through PPIs of the removed abundant proteins in human plasma during the depletion process in biomarker discovery. Glycoproteins bearing specific glycans are frequently associated with cancer and can be specifically isolated by lectin affinity chromatography. Therefore, SACS using Lycopersicon esculentum lectin (LEL) can also be used to study disease interactomes.

Electrokinesis and dielectrophoresis are important transport phenomena produced by external electric field applied to a microchannel containing a conductive fluid. We developed a CFD code to predict electrokinetic and dielectrophoretic flows in a microchannel with a uniform circular post array. Using the code, we calculated particle velocities driven by electrokinesis and dielectrophoresis, and conducted Monte Carlo simulations to visualize the particle motions. The code was validated by comparing the results with those from previous studies in literature. At a low electric field, electrokinesis and diffusion is the dominant transport mechanism. At a moderate electric field, dielectrophoresis is balanced with electrokinesis and diffusion, resulting in flowing filaments of particles in the microchannels. However, dielectrophoresis overwhelms the flow at a high electric field and traps particles locally. These results provide useful insight for optimizing design parameters of a microfluidic chip for biochemical analysis, especially for development of on-chip sample pretreatment techniques using electrokinetic and dielectrophoretic effects.

Saururus chinensis is used as a raw material of an anti-rheumatic, poultice, sedative and stomachic. The tea of dried Saururus chinensis leaves has a function of relaxing pains in back and breast and of treating stomach ailments. The plant has the functions of anti-inflammatory, depurative, diuretic, febrifuge and refrigerant. The extraction of functional material is carried out by methanol and ethanol solvents. Mechanochemical grinding is applied as a pretreatment process before extraction to enhance the extraction efficiency by increasing the surface area of the materials while changing the chemical properties of the materials. Extraction of functional materials from the Saururus chinensis after grinding as a pretreatment using the mechanochemical technology was accomplished in this study to investigate the effect of grinding on the antioxidant activities of the extract. Saururus chinensis was ground by the planetary ball mill and the morphology was analyzed by SEM. Mechanochemical pretreatment increased the yields of functional materials from 5.9 g to 6.4, 7.0, and 8.1 g after grinding of 30 minutes, 1 hour and 2 hours, respectively. Nitrite scavenging ability increased from 53.0-71.0% to 61.0-79.0% for the methanol extraction in the solution of pH 1.2. Also, Electron donating abilities were increased from 7.90-33.51% to 11.97-38.51% for the methanol extraction. The extract concentration for the half inhibition of DPPH radicals was reduced from $278{\mu}g/mL$ in the original sample to $263{\mu}g/mL$ in the sample after grinding for the methanol extraction.

본 연구에서는 토양 및 지하수 중 미세플라스틱(MP) 분석법 표준화를 위해 관련 국내·외 연구동향을 검토하고 매체 별 시료채취 방법, 전처리 방법 및 분석 장치의 종류 등에 관한 대표적인 방법을 리뷰하였다. 토양 시료채취는 시료채취 지점선정, 채취 깊이 및 시료량을 고려하고 있으며 대부분 15 cm 이내(표토) 깊이에서 약 1 kg의 시료를 혼합채취하는 것으로 파악되었다. 지하수 시료채취는 정치방법과 연속흐름방법 중 연속흐름방식이 대표적이고 채취량 300~1,000 L 구간에서 유량 2~6 L/min로 채취하며 현장 여과하였다. 처리 방법은 두 매체에 공통적으로 유기물 분해와 밀도차 분리로 나뉘며 유기물 분해방법인 H₂O₂, 산, 알칼리, 효소 활용 중 H₂O₂가 추천된다. 밀도 분리는 NaCl, ZnCl₂, ZnBr₂ 등의 시약 중 NaCl이 주로 사용되나 분석하고자 하는 MP의 밀도에 따라 시약을 선택적으로 활용할 수 있다. 분석 기기는 비파괴적 분석법인 FTIR, Raman과 파괴 분석법인 Py-GC/MS가 대표적이다. µ-FTIR은 직경 10 ㎛ 이상 Raman은 1 ㎛ 이상의 MP 재질과 개수 분석이 가능하나 전처리를 통해 유기물과 같은 분광분석의 방해요소를 충분히 제거해야 한다. Py-GC/MS는 복잡한 전처리가 필요 없고 특정 재질의 정량분석이 가능하여 지속적으로 연구되어지고 있다.
