The carp (Cyprinus carpio) used in the experiment were hatched in the spring this year and reared to 5.96g($4.84{\sim}6.55g$) in mean weight in a nursery pond at Daeyon fish farm, Pusan, Korea. The sample fish were exposed to different conditions of total ammonia (TA-N) concentrations 10, 20 and 30ppm and pH 6.5, 7.0, 7.5 and 8.0 at water temperatures 20, 25 and $30^{\circ}C$ for 24, 48 and 72 hours. After the procedure, the gill, liver and kidney of the fish were examined histopathologically. In this experiment, with the rise of water temperature, increase of pH and ammonia concentration, and the extension of exposure time the three organs showed the tendency of apparent abnormal changes such as hypertrophy and necrosis in their tissues. At $20^{\circ}C$ of water temperature gill tissue did not show any abnormality regardless of the change of pH at 10 ppm of ammonia concentration for 24 hours of exposure, but beyond the conditions given above, there occurred hypertrophy and the epithelium of gill lamellae was detached. The detach of gill lamellae epithelium initiated from the proximal part of the gill lamellae then gradually spread toward the uppermost tip. The heavier vacuolation of the liver was observed with the rise of water temperature and pH, and such morbid state in the liver was considered to be the result of edema in the liver tissue. The kidney showed no damage to the renal tubule epithelium at pH 6.5, but it was damaged at pH 8.0 when exposed to 30 ppm ammonia at $20^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours.

본 연구는 dermal equivalent를 이용하여 AHA류(lactic acid, glycolic acid, citric acid 및 malic acid) 및 보습 원료(sodium hyaluronate, glycerine, natural carbohydrate complex)에 대한 wound healing 효과 및 그 기작을 알아보기 위한 것이다. AHA류 및 보습 원료의 독성은 dermal equivalent를 이용하여 m assay를 실시한 후 적정 농도를 petri dish위에 조성한 dermal equivalent에 처리하였다. 그리고 wound healing 효과를 알아보기 위하여 collagen 수축률을 측정하였다. 또한 collagen 합성을 촉진하는 것으로 잘알려진 vitamin C도 함께 처리하였다. AHA류의 경우 평균 pH 2-3으로 매우 낮기 때문에 4N NaOH를 이용하여 pH를 6-7사이로 조절한 sample를 함께 실험하였다. 보습 원료의 경우 전반적으로 10% 이상의 높은 NR$_{50}$보여 주었다. 특히 sodium hyaluronate(1% stock solution)의 경우에는 16% NR$_{50}$를 보여 주었다. pH를 6-7로 조절한 AHA류의 경우에는 전반적으로 0.6% 내외의 NR$_{50}$를 보이는 가운데 lactic acid는 상대적으로 높은2% NR$_{50}$를 보여 주었다. Collagen 수축률 측정 실험 결과에서는 2% sodium hyaluronate(1% stock solution)가 대조군에 비하여 처리 후 2일째 25%내외의 향상된 수축률을 보여 주었다. pH를6-7로 조절한 AHA류 중 0.1%의 malic acid의 경우에서는 대조군에 비하여 처리 후 1일째 및 2일째 각각 28% 및 35%의 수축률을 보여 주었으며 pH를 6-7로 조절한 0.1% vitamin C에서도 유사한 결과를 보여 주었다. 반면에 pH를 6-7로 조절한 0.1% citric acid의 경우에는 10-20%의 낮은 수축률을 보여 주었다. MTT assay를 이용한 UV 조사 후 pH를 6-7로 조절한 AHA류의 repairing UV damage 효과에 대한 실험에서 0.1% 및 0.01%의 malic acid와 0.01% citric acid은 irradiation control에 비하여 약 10% 이상 세포수를 증가시켰다. 그러나 예외적으로 citric acid의 경우 0.1% 농도에서 오히려 20%내외로 세포수가 감소되는 경향을 보여주었다. 그리고 lactic acid 및 glycolic acid는 두드러지는 효과를 나타내지 않았다. Collagen 합성을 측정 실험에서는 pH를 6-7로 조절한 AHA류에서는 대조군에 비하여 상대적으로 12-19% 더 합성을 촉진하였다. 반면에 pH가 2-3인 AHA류의 경우에는 대조 군과 유사하거나 조금 낮은 합성율을 보여 주었다.

The objective of this study was to determine the resistance of Cronobacter sakazakii in acidic environments. The D-values of CAFM2 (ATCC 29544), EB 1, EB 5, and EB 41 at pH 2.5 in TSB were significantly (p<0.05) higher when cells were adapted at pH 4.5 in TSB for 5-h then when cells were not adapted at pH 4.5 in TSB. The D-values of CAFM2, EB1, and EB 41 at pH 2.5 in TSB were significantly (p<0.05) higher when cells were adapted at pH 4.5 in TSB for 10-h then when cells were not adapted at pH 4.5 in TSB. The D-values of CAFM2 and EB1 at pH 2.5 in TSB were significantly (p<0.05) higher when cells were adapted at pH 4.5 in TSB for 24-h then when cells were not adapted at pH 4.5 in TSB. The adaptation of C. sakazakii to mild acidic environments may result in increased resistance to severe acidic environments. The D-values of all test strains at pH 2.5 in TSB were significantly (p<0.05) higher when cells were cultured at pH 4.5 then when they were cultured at pH 7.2 in TSB. These data indicate that cells cultured in mildly acidic environments may result in increased resistance to severe acidic environments. The acid adaptation of C. sakazakii showed an increased resistance to acidic environments. The acid adaptation response of C. sakazakii has important implications for food safety, which should be considered when food preservation measures are developed.

Recent studies have reported that the distribution of HPV-16 sequence variation differs geographically, and more specifically that HPV-16 E6/E7 intratypic variants might carry a high risk for development of ICC (invasive cervical cancer) and CIN (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia) in a given population. To investigate the genetic diversities of HPV-16 E6/E7 oncogene by region, we collected nineteen HPV-16 isolates from sexually high-risk women in Busan, and analyzed the HPV-16 E6/E7 coding regions (nt 34 to 880) with HPV-16 E6/E7 specific PCR amplification. At the nucleotide levet eleven variants of the E6 genes and nine variants of the E7 genes were identified as follows: E6 T178G (n=l1), E6 T178A (n=l), E6 T350G (n=3), E6 A442C (n=2), E6 AI04T, E6 All1G, E6 C116T, E6 G145T, E6 T183G, E6 C335T, E6 G522C and E7 A647G (n=12), E7 A645C, E7 A777C, E7 G663A, E7 T732C, E7 T760C, E7 A775T, E7 T789C and E7 T795G, respectively. At the amino acid levet the isolated HPV-16 E6 and E7 genes showed eleven E6 variants: E6 D25E (n=12), E6 L83V (n=4), E6 E113D (n=2), E6 MIL, E6 Q3R, E6 P5S, E6 Q14H, E6 D25N, E6 127R, E6 H78Y, E6 C140S and three E7 variants: N29S (n=12), L28F, T72S. HPV16 E6 L83V, the dominant variant in the Caucasian population, showed relatively low frequencies in our study population. We elucidated that the dominant HPV-16 E6/E7 variants were HPV-16 E6 D25E (63.2%) and HPV-16 E7 N29S (63.2%), which were phylogenetically included in Asian lineage. Further study is needed to evaluate the risk of cervical cancer related HPV-16 E6/E7 intratypic variants in the Korean population.

Confonmation of (Z)-cinnamonitrile have been studied by molecular orbital theoretically using extended Huckel theory(EHT) and CNDO/2 molecular orbital calculation methods. The results indicate that the stability of conformation is(Z)-gauch>(Z)-planar. The rate constants for alkalie hydrolysis of cinnamonitrile at pH 7.0-14.0 range have been determined by ultra-violet spectrophotometry in 50% methanol at $25^{\circ}C$ and the following rate equation which can be applied over wide pH range was obtained; $${\therefore}k=({\frac{1.41{\times}10^{-14}+1.21{\times}10^7/[H_3O^+]}{2.65{\times}10^{-7}+1.64/[H_3O^+]})+9.14{\times}10^9/[H_3O^+]$$ The rate equation reveals that, at pH 7.0-10.0, the reaction is initiated by the addition of water molecule to unsaturated cabon-carhon double bond of cinnamonitrile and ${\alpha}C-{\beta}C$ bond scission follow subsequently in neutral and alkalie media. At pH 12.0-14.0, in strong alkalie solution, that so-called Michael type nucleophilic addition that the over-all rate constants is only dependent upon the concentration of hydroxide ion occurs competitively and are very complicated. Hence, the reaction mechanism of alkalie hydrolysis of cinnamonitrile which did not carefully before can be fully explained.

Ultra-fine calcium phosphate powders were synthesized by the reaction of Ca(OH)2 suspension with various phosphoric aqueous solutions such as (NH4)2HPO4, H4P2O7 and H3PO4, and the characterization of powders was examined for each synthetic condition. When (NH4)2HPO4 and H3PO4 were used, hydroxyapatite powders with poor crystallinity were obtained. In the case of H4P2O7, amorphous calcium phosphate was obtained up to 0.3 mol/ι Ca(OH)2 suspension, but above the concentration, poor crystalline hydroxyapatite was produced. Crystalline phases of powders heat-treated at 80$0^{\circ}C$ were hydroxyapatite, $\beta$-tricalcium phosphate and $\beta$-tricalcium phosphate for the case of (NH4)2HPO4, H4P2O7 and H3PO4, respectively. SEM observation revealed that the shapes of synthesized powders were vigorously agglomerated spherical with the size below 100 nm, but TEM observation revealed that primary shapes of particles were rod for (NH4)2HPO4 and H3PO4 and were sphere for H4P2O7. There was no dependence of the concentration of Ca(OH)2 suspension. In the case that reaction temperature and pH of the suspension were raised, the inclination to the hydroxyapatite were remarkable. The amorphous calcium phosphate synthesized in this experiment contained water about 20% , and was crystallized to $\beta$-tricalcium phosphate at 69$0^{\circ}C$.

The growth inhibition of enteropathogenic Escheriohia coli $A_2$and Escherichia coli G$_7$, causing the diarrhea in piglets, by the organic acid producing bacteria was studied in vitro. The metabolites of the organic acid bacteria, such as lactic acid, acetic acid inhibited the growth of E. coli $A_2$and E. coli G$_7$ in BL medium. The more the organic acid producing bacteria have ability to produce the organic acids, the higher these bacteria excelled the inhibitory efficacy against enteropathogenic E. coli. Among the strains examined, Lactobacillus casei Y and Streptococcus faecium C showed relatively strong growth inhibition against enteropathogenic E. coli.. When the organic acid producing bacteria and the enteropathogenic E. coli were incubated simultaneously in BL medium, bacteriostasis of E. coli was observed when the pH of BL culture was lowered to 5.0, and bacteriocidal effect was observed when the pH became Bess than 4.5, E. coli. $A_2$was more resistant to the organic acid bacteria than E. coli G$_7$.

Low-salted and fermented squid products, squid jeotkal was prepared and fermented at $10^{\circ}C$. During fermentation of squid, microbiological and chemical changes were examined. Sensory evaluation was also carried out. After 20 days of fermentation, taste and flavor of the squid jeotkal containing $10\%$ NaCl were proven to be the best; in contrast, the jeotkal with $7\%$ NaCl exhibited the highest sensory score. At the period showing the best flavor and taste, viable cell count reached to $10^8/g$. Throughout the fermentation period, types of microorganisms isolated were significantly different in squid jeotkal of different salinity. In general, protease producer and bacteria producing components of jeotkal-flavor and organic acids more likely contributed to producing the jeotkal of the best quality. pH of the squid jeotkal with $10\%$ salinity maintained under pH 7.0 throughout the fermentation periods; however, in the case of the jeotkal with $7\%$ salinity, pH increased over pH 7.0 after day 25. Similar tendency was observed in the results from VBN and hypoxanthine formation. Total nitrogen was decreased as fermentation proceeded; in contrast, total free amino acids were increased.
