브라디키닌은 체내에서 강력한 혈관 확장 작용을 일으키는 autacoid(local hormone)로서 혈압의 항상성 유지, 모세혈관 투과성 증진, 염증 및 통증 반응 등에 관여하고 여러 장관 평활근을 수축시킨다. 또한 septic 혹은 endotoxic shock의 여러 원인 물질로도 생각되어진다. 최근 rhinovirus로 인한 감기의 제증상 원인 물질로도 브라디키닌이 주목을 받고있다. 이와같이 브라디키닌온 다양한 질병에 있어 중요한 원인 물질로 여겨지므로 브라디키닌 길항제들은 한두 질병의 치료제로 개발될 가능성이 높음이 강력히 제시되고 있는 실정이다. 이의 개발을 위해서 브라디키닌 수용체에 대한 연구는 필수적이라고 할 수 있다. 본 연구는 두 부분으로 나누어 진행중인데 첫째, 이제까지 보고된 브라디키닌 길항 물질들은 대부분이 브라디키닌의 특정 아미노산 잔기를 치환시킨 펩타이드 유도체로서 이들을 경구 투여시 peptidase어 의하여 쉽게 분해되고 또한 부분적인 효능제 활성을 갖는 불리한 점을 감안하여, 비펩타이드성 브라디키닌 길항제를 개발할 목적으로 한방 및 민간에서 자주 사용되어온 생약중에 브라디키닌 작용에 선택적 길항효과가 있는 물질을 검색한 바 활성을 보인 황금으로부터 작용 성분을 추적중에 있다. 둘째, 브라디키닌 수용체를 순수하게 분리 정제하기 위한 첫 단계로서 이 수용체의 결합시험(binding assay) 방법을 확립하고 더불어 여러 조직내(흰쥐의 여러 기관, 토끼 및 사람의 신장)의 브라디키닌 수용체의 분포를 파악하는 일이다. 횐쥐 조직의 실험 결과로부터 신장에 브라디키닌 수용체가 많이 분포함을 확인되었고 향후 토끼 신장으로부터 동수용체를 분리하고자 한다. 또한 토끼 신장의 근위세뇨관일차배양세포을 이용하여 브라디키닌의 신장에서의 작용기전도 살펴보고 있다.+}$, $Na^{+}$, NH$_{4}$$^{+}$ 및 H$^{+}$) 수용액 메디움에서의 Cd(II), Mg(II) 및 Zn(II)의 Dowex 1-X8, Cl$^{-}$ 수지에 대한 흡착은 역시 어떤 메디움에서도 Cd(II) 흡착이 제일 크며, 다음이 Zn(II) 이고 착이온을 형성않는 Mg(II)이 제일 작았다. 한편 메디움 종류별 D값의 크기순위는 H$^{+}$>K$^{+}$> $Na^{+}$>NH$_{4}$$^{+}$이였다. 메디움의 종류에 따라 D값의 차이가 나는 것은 금속이온의 착이온 형성과 금속이온의 용액내에서의 이온종의 상태와 관련이 있다고 생각된다. 마.

Standard Zircaloy-4 sheets, charged with 230-250ppm hydrogen by the gas-charging method and homogenized at $400^{\circ}C$ for 72hrs in a vacuum, were corroded in pure water and aqueous LiOH solutions using static autoclaves at $350^{\circ}C$. Their corrosion behaviors were characterized by measuring their weight gains with the corrosion time and observing their microstructures using an optical microscope and a scanning electron microscope. The elemental depth profiles for hydrogen and lithium were measured using a secondary ion mass spectrometry(S1MS) to confirm their distributions at the oxidelmetal interface. The normal Zircaloy-4 specimens corroded abruptly and heavily at the concentration of Li ions more than 30ppm in the aqueous solution. This is due to accelerations by the rapid oxidation of many Zr- hydrides formed by the large amount of absorbed hydrogen, resulting from the increased substitution of $Li^{+}$ ions with $Zr^{4+}$-sites in the oxide as the Li ion concentration increased. The specimens that had been charged with amounts of hydrogen greater than its solubility corroded early with a more rapid acceleration than normal specimens, regardless of the corrosion solutions. At longer corrosion times. however, normal specimens showed a rather accelerated corrosion rate compared to the hydrogen-charged specimens. These slower corrosion rates of the hydrogen-charged specimens at the longer corrosion times would be due to the pre-existent Zr-hydride in the matrix, which causes the hydrogen pick- up into the specimen to be depressed, when the oxide with an appropriate thickness formed.

The exo-polysaccharide producing microorganism, Aureobasidium pullulans IMS-822, was isolated and identified from soil. The viscosity-average molecular weight of exo-polysaccharide was calculated as $8.9{\times}10^5$ by Mark-Houwink equation. The sugar component of exo-polysaccharide was determined as glucose by HPLC analysis. The IR spectra indicated that the exo-polysaccharide has an absorption peak at 890 $cm^{-1}$ for the ${\beta}-configuration$ of D-glucan. The $^{13}C$ NMR signal at ${\delta}$ 86.62 ppm arose from the substituted C-3 of glucose. The signal at ${\delta}$ 72.11 ppm was assigned to C-6 of branched ${\beta}-(1{\to}3)-D-glucosyl$ residues. Viscosity and Congo red reaction indicated that {\beta}-(1{\to}3)(1{\to}6)-glucan$ produced by A. pullulans IMS-822 has a highly ordered hydrogen-bond dependent conformation in aqueous solution, which collapses in strong alkaline solution.

Ethyl cellulose-g-poly(ethylene glycol) (EP) was synthesized by esterification of carboxylic acid functionalized methoxy polyethylene glycol (MPEG-COOH) with ethyl cellulose (EC) in order to develop a hydrophilic substrate for thin-film composite (TFC) membrane in a forward osmosis (FO) system. A porous EP substrate, fabricated by a non-solvent induced phase separation method, was found to be more hydrophilic than the EC substrate due to the presence of polyethylene glycol (PEG) side chains in the EP. Since the EP substrate exhibits smaller water contact angles and higher porosity, the structural parameter (S) of TFC-EP is smaller than that of TFC-EC, indicating that internal concentration polarization (ICP) within porous substrates can occur less when TFC-EP is used as a membrane. For example, the water flux value of the TFC-EP is 15.7 LMH, whereas the water flux value of the TFC-EC is only 6.6 LMH. Therefore, we strongly believe that the TFC-EP could be a promising candidate with good FO performances.

Template condensation reactions of formaldehyde with appropriate tetramines and diamines in the presence of N(II) or Cu(II) ion produce square planar complexes of hexaaza macrotricyclic and macrotetracyclic ligands $[M(L)]^{2+}$(M = Ni(II) or Cu(II); L = 4-methyl-1,3,6,8,11,14-hexaazatricyclo[12,2,1,$1^{8,11}$]octadecane(C), 1,3,10,12,15,18-hexaazatetracyclo[16,2,1,$1^{12,15},0^{4,9}]$docosane(D) 4-methyl-1,3,6,8,12,15-hexaazatricyclo[13,3,1,$1^{8,12}$]eicosane(F), or 1,3,10,12,16,19-hexaazatetracyclo[l7,3,1,$1^{12,16},0^{4,9}]$tetracosane(G). These complexes contain two 1,3-diazacyclopentane or 1,3-diazacyclohexane rings in the six-membered chelate rings. The complexes of C and F contain one methyl group and those of D and G one cyclohexane ring in the five-membered chelate ring. Synthesis and characterization of the Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes are presented. The effects of the ligand structure on the equilibrium $[Ni(L)]^{2+}2H_2O{\rightleftharpoons}[Ni(L)(H_2O)_2]^{2+}$ in aqueous solutions are described.

Maintenance of an optimal air quality in the enclosed pig building is potentially important in terms of pig performance and farmer health. The objective of this on-site experiment is to evaluate and compare efficiencies of currently utilized biological additives to reduce odor emissions from the enclosed pig building. As a result, generally all the additives except for salt water, artificial spice and essential oil were proved ineffective in reducing odor generation. The beneficial effects of salt water, artificial spice and essential oil on odor reduction were highlighted on ammonia, odor intensity and offensiveness, and sulfuric odorous compounds, respectively. To efficiently utilize odor masking agent such as the artificial spice, ventilation rate should keep slightly lower than the optimal level. Essential oil functioned well as not only masking agent but also antimicrobial agent for reducing odor. To precisely quantify odor concentration, it should be measured by not the odor sensor but the olfactometry technique.

Background:Liquid nitrogen freezing techniques have already met with widespread success in biology and medicine as a means of long-term storage for cells and tissues. The use of cryoprotectants such as glycerol and dimethylsulphoxide to prevent ice crystal formation, with carefully controlled rates of freezing and thawing, allows both structure and viability to be retained almost indefinitely. Cryopreservation of various tissues has various con-trolled rates of freezing. Material and Method: To find the optimal freezing curve and the chamber temperature, we approached the thermodynamic calculation of tissues in two ways. One is the direct calculation method. We should know the thermophysical characteristics of all components, latent heat of fusion, area, density and volume, etc. This kind of calculation is so sophisticated and some variables may not be determined. The other is the indirect calculation method. We performed the tissue freezing with already used freezing curve and we observed the actual freezing curve of that tissue. And we modified the freezing curve with several steps of calculation, polynomial regression analysis, time constant calculation, thermal response calculation and inverse calculation of chamber temperature. Result: We applied that freezing program on mesenchymal stem cell, chondrocyte, and osteoblast. The tissue temperature decreased according to the ideal freezing curve without temperature rising. We did not find any differences in survival. The reason is postulated to be that freezing material is too small and contains cellular components. We expect the significant difference in cellular viability if the freezing curve is applied on a large scale of tissues. Conclusion: This program would be helpful in finding the chamber temperature for the ideal freezing curie easily.

Starch phosphates were prepared from the corn starch mixed with 2% sodium tripolyphosphate by twin-screw extruder with a feed rate of 20 kg/hr and an extrusion temperature of $130^{\circ}C$, and the effects of extrusion variables on the physicochemical properties (target parameters) of starch phosphates were investigated. Interrelations of system parameters (specific mechanical energy and extrudate moisture) and rheological properities of starch was analyzed by using the response surface analysis. Degree of substitution (DS) was increased with increasing the feed moisture, and showed the maximum value at the screw of near 250 rpm, Degree of gelatinization was proportionally increased with increasing the screw speed and decreasing the feed moisture. Apparent viscosity of the paste was increased with increasing the feed moisture, but it was not significantly affected by the screw speed. It was found by scanning electron microscopy that the starch microgranules were much more degradaded, and as consequent result, the intrinsic viscosity was decreased, whereas, water solubility index was increased. The rate of retrogradation of the gels was retarded with increasing DS and decreasing viscosity.

Thiamine derivatives of thiamine tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide (TTFD) and thiamine propyl disulfide (TPD) were obtained in a good yield and purity by use of thiothiamine $(SB_1)$ and also described in details for the preparing sodium tetrahydrofurfuryl thiosulphate (Bunte's salt) with and without KI. The optimum reaction conditions for the preparation of TTFD was set in which the Box-Wilson plan was applied. The reaction conditions are as follows; 1. pH value of aqueous solution of thiol type of $B_1{\cdot}HCl;12.09$ 2. Quantity of Bunte's salt (to $B_1{\cdot}HCl\;20G$); 35.01g 3. Reaction temperature; $15.59^{\circ}C$ Studies on ultraviolet absorption were made at various pH and showed that the absorption maxima are shifted with change of pH. The absorption maxima are at $244{\sim}246nm,\;234{\sim}235nm$ in TTFD, and $245{\sim}246nm,\;233{\sim}235nm$ in TPD. The structure was proved by the infrared spectral evidence. Quantitative determination was studied.

Tolclofos-methyl is one of the most widely used organophosphorous pesticides in control of soil-borne diseases in ginseng field. In Korea, residues of tolclofosmethyl in ginseng and cultivation soil is quite often detecting. The objective of this study was to know the possibility for the accelerated degradation of tolclofos-methyl by various chemical treatment under soil slurry condition. The degradation of tolclofos-methyl was accelerated by zerovalent metals treatment in soil slurry. The degradation rate of tolclofos-methyl was found to be at higher zerovalent zinc than unannealed zerovalent and annealed zerovalent iron. The effect of different sizes of zerovalent iron on tolclofos-methyl degradation was showed that the smaller size of zerovalent iron, the greater the degradation rate. In aqueous solution of pH 4.0 below the degradation rate of tolclofos-methyl was very high. Under this experimental condition, tolclofos-methyl degradation was the greatest at 2% (w/v) of ZVI under 0.1 N of HCl in 24 hours, the degradation rate was 94.4%. By testing various chemicals, it was found that $Fe_2(SO_4)_3$ as iron source showed better for degrading tolclofos-methyl in $H_2O_2$ 500 mM treatment and sodium sulfite also showed the degradable possibility tolclofos-methyl in soil slurry.
