The complete larval development of Enocheir japonicus De Haan reared in the laboratory is described and illustrated. E. japonicus passes through 5 zoeal stages before metamorphosis to the megalopal stage. The megalopa and crab I inStar are attained in 17 and 27 days after hatching, respectively. The culture was carried out under a photoperiod of 14 h light and 10 h dark and a constant temperature of $25^{\circ}C$. Morphological charaderistics of each larval stage of this species are compared with those of E. japonicus from Japan. Morphological features between zoea I of the Varuninae are briefly discussed.

본 연구의 목적은 방향족 화합물의 생분해능이 우수한 토양 방선균을 분리하여 방선균에 의한 방향족 화합물의 생분해 기작 및 생분해 특성을 연구하는 것이다. 본 연구실에서는 phenol을 model compound로 실험한 결과, 일반 토양에서 분리한 많은 방선균들이 비록 농노의 차이를 보이기는 하지만 phenol의 생분해능을 갖고 있었다. 그러나 이들 대다수의 방선균들을 낮은 농도의 phenol에서만 일정 기간 성장을 하며, morphological differentiation 및 포자의 형성과 같은 일반적인 방선균의 성장 특성은 전혀 관찰되지 않았다. 이들 중 몇 종류의 분리된 방선균들 낮은 농도에서의 우수한 성장은 물론이고 상당히 높은 농도 (7mM)에서도 phenol을 유일한 탄소 및 에너지원으로 사용하여 성장하며 정상적인 morphological differentiation을 진행시킴이 관찰되었다. 특히 PD001로 명명된 phenol 분해능이 우수한 방선균에서는 일반적인 방선균 성장 온도 (3$0^{\circ}C$) 보다 높은 45$^{\circ}C$의 고온에서 더 빠른 성장을 보이는 고온성 방선균의 특징도 관찰되었다.

Over-consumption of alcohol leads to many side-effects such as malnutrition, liver disease, and neuronal disorders and many investigators have tired to identify methods for preventing the side-effects of drinking. In this study, we demonstrated the protective effect of a new food component, SAC-1, containing Hovenia dulcis Thumb and Lonicera caerulea Thumb extract against the side-effects of drinking. We observed that blood alcohol concentration, glutamic oxaloacetate transaminase, lipid peroxidation, and total glutathione level decreased significantly in plasma and liver of mice fed the SAC-1 extract before alcohol intoxication. In particular, SAC-1 had more of a protective effect than that of Hovenia dulcis Thumb extract alone. These results suggest that SAC-1 should further be developed to treat alcohol detoxification and stimulate antioxidative potentials.

This study was conducted to compare the physiological conditions of black porgy (Acanthopagrus schlegeli) when reared in freshwater (0 psu) and seawater (35 psu) during 90 days. In terms of stress response, there was no significant difference in cortisol levels of the fish reared either freshwater or seawater until 60 days. Although cortisol level of fish reared in freshwater(12.6$\pm$5.0 ng/ml) was significantly higher than in seawater (4.5$\pm$2.9 ng/ml) at the end of experiment, these values were stable levels as compared with that of non-stressed fish. No significant differences in plasma osmolalities were recognized between the fish reared in freshwater (346.7$\pm$4.6$\~$356.5$\pm$2.1 mOsm/kg) and seawater (350.0$\pm$2.0$\~$357.0$\pm$22.6 mOsm/kg). Normal structure of gill lamellae without histological damage or cell necrosis has been observed in the fish reared in freshwater. In connection with growth and survival rate, total length and body weight of fish reared in freshwater were slightly longer and higher than those of fish reared in seawater. Survival rate of black porgy reared in freshwater was slightly higher than that of fish reared in seawater, but there was no significant difference. The results suggest that black porgy is reared with normal growth rate in freshwater without stress.

This study was aimed to investigate the contents of chemical components and the biological activity of fermented Omija (Schizandra chinensis Baillon.) beverage (FOB), which have not been well known up to now. General compositions and the contents of mineral and vitamin of FOB were lower than Omija before fermentation (OBF). In addition, most sucrose was digested into glucose and fructose in FOB. This suggests that the beneficial contents may be made from general compositions by fermentation, though more evidences are needed. Antioxidant activity of FOB was measured by using 2,2-diphenyl-l-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging activity and superoxide dismutase-like activity (SODA). DPPH radical scavenging activity and SODA were increased in a dose-dependent manner, and were about 79.7% and 60.8% at four times diluted FOB (25% of FOB), respectively. The FOB also showed strong antibacterial activity on Escherichia coli. Beauty effect of FOB was demonstrated by the analysis of tyrosinase and elastase inhibitory activities, and they were remarkably increased in a dose-dependent manner. Tyrosinase inhibitory activity was about 82% at two times diluted FOB (50% of FOB) and elastase inhibitory activity was 78.2% at five times diluted FOB (20% of FOB). These results suggest that FOB has a strong antioxidant activity, and tyrosinase and elastase inhibitory effects.

Cholesterol-lowering effect of pine nut on mice was investigated by examining changes in body weight, feed intake, and triglyceride, total cholesterol, high density liporotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and very low density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C) contents in mice plasma. Changes in body weight and feed intake between pre-designed experimental animal groups fed various contents of cholesterol and pine nut and control group fed basal diet were not significantly different. Food efficiency ratio of experimental groups fed higher than 10% pine nut was significantly higher than that of control group. Apparent differences in atherogenic index representing cholesterol-lowering effect in plasma were not found among all groups fed 0-20% pine nut. Inhibition activities of water and hexane extracts of pine nut on HMG-CoA reductase and cholesterol esterase were examined in vitro. Hexane extract showed 66% inhibition effect on HMG-CoA reductase, whereas none was observed with water extract.

The Vampire has relatively universal images in through the cultural and verbal usages. The comic Higajima and movie display the latest image of Japanese Vampire of asian mode of production. After the Meiji political reformation of 18th Century, Japanese had rapidly changed into European style in every places. However, the Higajima is denied the structural changes, it is insisted that the changing is only the skin deep and colour of hair but the structure of the society is same as feudal Japan. Asian mode of production is claimed by Karl Marx, according to him, it is before the historical developing model in Europe and it was controversial. The major character of modern Japanese history would be the change of hierarchy of king-shogun-samurai-peasant based on the regional ground. The feudal structure is changed by the Meiji reformation and Japan was rushed for the westernized country rather than the asian mode of production. However, Higajima argued that the changing is just the clothes of ruler but the democracy and individual citizenship was lost in that reformation. Vampire is cursed creature that cannot see the sun and it has not the functioned as a human organ. For human it is dead but this creature actively moves and stronger than human and much superior than human in every aspects. It is managed the feeding through the suck the human blood and power to seduction. Even it is not exist, it is quite symbolic phenomenon of cultural usage of superior entity of chain of feeding. The aim of this paper is display the symbolic code Vampire of Asian mode of production in Higajima and political struggling of Japan in actual. To search of the cultural meaning and possibility of the Korean solution of modernity.

capillary leak syndrome and organ dysfunction in infants. Removing harmful cytokines and complement anaphylatoxins after cardiopulmonary bypass may attenuate this response. This study was conducted to see if the modified ultrafiltration and postoperative peritoneal dialysis can reduce plasma inflammatory mediators in pediatric cardiac surgery. Material and Method: 30 infants (age 1.1 to 12.6 months) who underwent closures of ventricular septal defect using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) were enrolled in this study. These patients were divided into three groups; 10 patients selected randomly underwent modified ultrafiltration (Group U), 10 with small body weights ($\leq$5 kg) received postoperative peritoneal dialysis (Group P), and 10 patients did not undergo modified ultrafiltration nor receivcd peritoneal dialysis (Group C). Serum samples were obtained before and after CPB, and after peritoneal dialysis. Effluents sample were also obtained after modified ultrafiltration or peritoneal dialysis. C3a and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were measured by radioimmunoassay and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay respectively. Result: There was no differences in CPB time, aortic cross-clamping title, and lowest temperature during CPB. The effluents of peritoneal dialysis contained significant amount of C3a and IL-6, but there was no definitive decrease of serum concentration of C3a and IL-6. The effluents of modified ultrafiltration had some amount of C3a and negligible IL-6, and there was no decrease of serum concentration of these (actors. Conclusion: The effluents of peritoneal dialysis contained significant amount of proinflammatory cytokine, IL-6 and complement, C3a. However this study failed to elucidate the decrease in serum levels of these factors. The modified ultrafiltration also was not able to reduce the serum levels of C3a or IL-6 in our study as well.

A stoichiometric mixture of evaporating materials for $ZnIn_2Se_4$ single crystal thin films was prepared from horizontal electric furnace. To obtain the single crystal thin films, $ZnIn_2Se_4$ mixed crystal was deposited on thoroughly etched semi-insulating GaAs(100) substrate by the Hot Wall Epitaxy (HWE) system. The source and substrate temperatures were $630^{\circ}C$ and $400^{\circ}C$, respectively. The crystalline structure of the single crystal thin films was investigated by the photoluminescence and double crystal X-ray diffraction (DCXD). The carrier density and mobility of $ZnIn_2Se_4$ single crystal thin films measured from Hall effect by van der Pauw method are $9.41\times10^{16}cm^{-3}$ and $292cm^2/v{\cdot}s$ at 293 K, respectively. The temperature dependence of the energy band gap of the $ZnIn_2Se_4$ obtained from the absorption spectra was well described by the Varshni's relation, $E_g(T)=1.8622eV-(5.23\times10^{-4}eV/K)T^2/(T+775.5K)$. The crystal field and the spin-orbit splitting energies for the valence band of the $ZnIn_2Se_4$ have been estimated to be 182.7 meV and 42.6 meV, respectively, by means of the photocurrent spectra and the Hopfield quasicubic model. These results indicate that the splitting of the ${\Delta}so$ definitely exists in the ${\Gamma}_5$ states of the valence band of the $ZnIn_2Se_4/GaAs$ epilayer. The three photo current peaks observed at 10 K are ascribed to the $A_{1}-$, $B_{1}-exciton$ for n = 1 and $C_{27}-exciton$ peaks for n = 27.
