Typha orientalis' stem (TOS) is traditionally used as an herbal medicine for difficulty in urination, galactophoritis purulenta, whooping cough, and allergic dermatitis. However, its effect in experimental models remains unknown. Here, we report the effect of TOS on the phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) plus calcium ionophore A23187-induced inflammatory cytokine production and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) activation in the human mast cell line, HMC-1. TOS inhibited PMA plus A23187-induced cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-$\alpha$) and interleukin (IL)-6. Maximal inhibition rate of TNF-$\alpha$ and IL-6 production by TOS (1 mg/ml) was about 44.02%, and 45.20%, respectively (P < 0.05). In addition, TOS inhibited the expression of TNF-$\alpha$ and IL-6 mRNA under the same condition. Moreover, TOS partially blocked PMA plus A23187-induced ERK phosphorylation. These results suggested TOS could inhibit the cytokine production through blocking of ERK activity.

Alkali soluble(AS) fraction, revealed the highest antitumor activity of the alkali extracted fractions of G. lucidum IY 009, was loaded on DEAE cellulose(OH$^{-}$ form) column. AS-1, AS-2, AS-3, AS-4 and AS-5 were obtained by stepwise elution with H$_{2}$O, 0.1 M NaHCO$_{3}$, 0.3 M NaHCO$_{3}$, 0.5 M NaHCO$_{3}$ and 0.5 N NaOH respectively, and their antitumor activities(I.R. %) against the sarcoma 180 were 97.5%, 68.0%, 73.0%, 81.0% and 66.0% respectively. AS-1 observed highest antitumor activity was appeared as single peak on the Sepharose CL-4B column chromatography, and their molecular weight was about 580,000 dalton. The carbohydrate content of AS-1 was 98.9%, their monosaccharide consisted of 67.5% of mannose, 22.5% of xylose, 5.8% of glucose, 1.8% of galactose and 2.0% of ribose. AS-1 was assumed $\alpha $linkaged xylomannan having infrared absorption at 864.3 cm$^{-1}$. The main alditol acetates of AS-1 were identified as 1,5-Di-O-acetyl1-2,3,4-Tri-O-methylxylitol, 1,4,5-Tro-O-acety1-2,3,6-Tri-O-methylmannitol and 1,3,4,5-Tetra-O-acety1-2,6-Di-O-methylmannitol by methylation analysis, and their molar ratio was 1 : 2 : 1. The core portion of AS-1 might be $\alpha $-(1$\longrightarrow $ 4)mannopyranosyl unit branched with side chain, C1 of xylopyranosyl residue linked to C3 of every 3 mannopyranosyl units, and the degree of polymerization of structural unit in AS-1 was about 835.

A faujasite NaY zeolite membrane was prepared on a tubular ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ support by the secondary growth process, and effects of permeation test conditions on the $CO_2/N_2$ separation were investigated. A NaY zeolite membrane with good $CO_2/N_2$ separation was successfully synthesized by using the hydrothermal solution ($Al_2O_3:SiO_2:Na_2O:H_2O$ = 1:6:14:840 in a molar base): at a permeation temperature of $30^{\circ}C$, its $CO_2$ permeance and $CO_2/N_2$ separation factor were $2.5{\times}10^{-7}mol/m^2secPa$ and 34, respectively. The $CO_2$ and $N_2$ permeations were highly dependent on permeation test conditions (feed composition, feeding rate, feed pressure, He sweeping rate and permeation temperature). The results indicated that (i) $CO_2$ and $N_2$ permeations through NaY zeolite membrane are governed by surface and micropore diffusions, respectively, (ii) the preparation of NaY zeolite membrane with a large permeating area is one of the most difficult hurdles for its real applications, and (iii) the retardation of $N_2$ permeation is an effective key to improve $CO_2/N_2$ separation factor in NaY zeolite membrane.

The purpose of this study was to compare effects of insulin and IGFs on growth, apical membrane enzyme activities and membrane transport systems of primary cultured rabbit kidney proximal tubule cells. Results were as follows: 1. Insulin and IGF-I produced significant growth stimulatory effects at $5{\times}10^{-10}M.\;IGF-II(5×10^{-10}\;M)$ did not stimulate significant cell growth. 2. Insulin stimulated the phosphorylation of a 97 KD protein. It was difficult to determine whether this band represents insulin and/or the IGF-I receptor. 3. The activities of apical membrane enzymes (alkaline phosphatase, leucine aminopeptidase, and ${\gamma}-glutamyl \;transpeptidase)$ were observed to be diminished after the cells were placed in the culture environment. 4. The uptake of ${\alpha}-MG,$ Pi and Na was significantly increased in cells incubated with insulin or IGF-I, IGF-II had no effect on the uptake of these substrates. 5. Na-pump activity, as assayed by Rb uptake, was significantly increased in cells treated with insulin or IGFs. In conclusion, insulin and IGF-I exert stimulatory effects on growth and membrane transporter(glucose, Na, Pi, and Na-pump) activities in primary cultured rabbit kidney proximal tubule cells. IGF-II had no effect on cell growth and membrane transporter(glucose, Na and Pi) activities.

이온크로마토그래피를 이용하여 Pu 화학종의 분리방법을 검토하였다. 환원제(KI, $NaNO_2$) 또는 산화제(KBrO_3$)를 사용하여 Pu의 산화수를 조절한 후 1-octanesulfonate 와 ${\alpha}$-HiBA 용리액을 사용하는 동적계에서 $PuO_2^{2+},\; PC^{4+}$ 및 $Pu^{3+}$의 화학종을 각각 안정하게 개별분리하였다. Iodide와 nitrite를 동시에 사용하여 Pu 화학종들을 $Pu^{3+}$까지 환원한 다음 이온크로마토그래피로 안정하게 분리하였다.

We studied the effect of methanol extract of Sargassum hemiphylum(SH) on atopic allergic reaction. SH dose-dependently inhibited interleukin (IL)-8 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-$\alpha$ secretion from the PMA- plus A23187- stimulated HMC-1. SH also dose-dependently inhibited the histamine and $\beta$-hexosaminidase release from mast cells. (omitted)

AOT-Isooctane 역마이셀계를 이용한 단백질 추출 및 회수에 영향을 미치는 여러 가지 요인과 단백질 혼합물로부터의 선택적인 분리에 대해 연구 검토하였다. Lysozyme, ${\alpha}-chymotrypsin$은 AOT 100 mM까지 높은 추출율을 보이다가 100 mM 이상에서는 점차 감소하였고, BSA는 200 mM까지 추출율이 증가하다가 그 이상에서는 감소하였다. pH에 따른 단백질의 역마이셀로의 추출은 등전점이 높은 lysozyme이 pH4-10, ${\alpha}-chymotrypsin$과 trypsin은 각각 pH5, 5.4에서 95% 이상의 높은 추출율을 보였으며 등전점이 낮은 pepsin과 BSA는 어떤 pH 영역에서도 거의 추출되지 않았다. 이온강도를 증가시켰을 때 단백질의 추출이 감소하였고, Wo가 감소하면서 역마이셀의 크기도 감소하였으며 이온에 따라 $Mg^{2+}>Na^+>Ca^{2+}>K^+$의 순으로 타났다. 단백질 회수시에는 전반적으로 추출과는 반대경향을 보였으며, lysozyme의 경우 회수하는 수용액이 1.0M KCl-pH 12.2일 때, ${\alpha}-chymotrypsin$은 0.5M KCl-pH6.7, trypsin은 0.5M KCl-pH 12.6일 때 85% 이상의 높은 회수율을 얻었다. BSA/lysozyme 혼합물로부터 각각의 분리를 시도하였는데, BSA는 forward transfer 후 역마이셀내로 추출되지 않은 채 수용액상에 남게하고 lysozyme은 역마이셀내로 추출시킨 후 backward transfer 과정을 거쳐 새로운 수용액상으로 회수하여 전기영동으로 확인하였다.

삼광광상은 선캠브리아기 경기육괴의 화강편마암내에 발달된 단열대(NE, NW)를 따라 충진한 8개의 괴상맥으로 구성된 중열수 석영맥광상이다. 이 광상의 광화작용은 여러번의 단열작용에 의해 형성된 두시기의 석영+방해석시기(광화I시기)와 방해석시기(광화II시기)로 구성된다. 광화I시기의 열수작용에 의한 변질작용은 견운모화, 녹니석화, 탄산염화, 황철석화, 규화, 및 점토화작용등이 관찰되며 견운모대는 석영맥과 접촉한 부분에서 녹니석대는 석영맥으로부터 멀어짐에 따라 관찰된다. 견운모대의 모암변질광물은 대부분이 견운모 및 석영이며 일부 일라이트, 탄산염광물, 녹니석으로 구성된다. 녹니석대의 모암변질광물은 주로 녹니석, 석영과 소량 견운모, 탄산염광물 및 녹염석으로 구성된다. 견운모의 Fe/(Fe+Mg) 값은 0.45${\sim}$0.50(0.48$\pm$0.02)이며 백운모-펜자이트족에 해당되고 녹니석의 Fe/(Fe+Mg) 값은 0.74${\sim}$0.81(0.77$\pm$0.03)이고 대부분 브런스비자이트에 해당된다. 견운모와 녹니석에 대한 $Al_{IV}$-FE/(FE+Mg)의 다이어그램은 변질시 같은 광종의 견운모와 녹니석의 형성온도를 나타내는 지시자로써 유용하다. 이것은 계산된 녹니석 단종의 활동도가 $a3(Fe_5Al_2Si_3O_{10}(OH)_6$=0.0275${\sim}$0.0413, $a2(Mg_5Al_2Si_3O_{10}(OH)_6$=1.18E-10${\sim}$7.79E-7, $a1(Mg_6Si_4O_{10}(OH)_6$=4.92E-10${\sim}$9.29E-7로서 삼광광상의 녹니석은 iron-rich 녹니석으로 비교적 고온 (T>450$^{\circ}C$에서 모암과 평형상태에서 온도가 감소함에 따라 형성되었음을 알 수 있다. 모암변질시 ${\alpha}Na^+$, ${\alpha}K^+$, ${\alpha}Ca^{2+}$ 및 ${\alpha}Mg^{2+}$는 각각 ${\alpha}Na^+$=0.0476($400^{\circ}C$), 0.0863($350^{\circ}C$), ${\alpha}K^+$=0.0154($400^{\circ}C$), 0.0231($350^{\circ}C$), ${\alpha}Ca^{2+}$=2.42E-11($400^{\circ}C$), 7.07E-10($350^{\circ}C$), ${\alpha}Mg^{2+}$=1.59E-12($400^{\circ}C$), 1.77E-11($350^{\circ}C$)이며 열수용액의 pH는 5.4${\sim}$6.4($400^{\circ}C$), 5.3${\sim}$5.7($350^{\circ}C$)로서 모암변질시 열수용액는 약산성이었음을 알 수 있다. 모암변질시 이득원소(부화원소)는 $TiO_2$, $Fe_2O_3(T)$,CaO, MnO, MgO, As, Ag, Cu, Zn, Ni, Co, W, V, Br, Cs, Rb, Sc, Bi, Nb, Sb, Se, Sn 및 Lu 등이며 특히 대부분의 광상에서 Ag, As, Zn, Sc, Sb, S,$CO_2$ 등의 원소가 현저하게 증가하므로 중열수 및 천열수 금-은광상의 탐사에 지시원소로서 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
