Kidney stones occur in approximately 1% of the population during their lifetime. Although the development of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) has revolutionized the theraphy of urolithiasis, the rate of recurrence of urothiasis, the rate of recurrenece of stones after SWL is about 50% within 10 years, which still represents serious problems for patienes. So to clarify the mechanism of Urocalum, and QS (Quercus salicina Blume) extract in the treatment of urolithiasis. Rat calcium oxalate urolithiasis was induced by oral administration of ethylene glycol and the vitamin D3 analog alfacalcidol for 14 days and QS extract was given to rats. After the last administration, we measured in urine, serum and renal oxidative stress marker. Ethylene glycol and alfacalcidol treatment increased BUN, creatinine, uric acid and XO. This increase was significantly suppressed by the administration of QS extract. These finding suggest that the QS extract plays a role in the prevention of stone formation and recureence in urolithiasis.

Administration of hot water extracts from Acanthopanax senticosus (GF-2) prophylactically and therapeutically inhibited the systemic anaphylactic shock induced by compound 48/80 in mouse. GF-2 significantly inhibited the production of histamine and eosinophyl in mouse serum through the injection of compound 48/80 in a dose-dependent manner. GF-2 inhibited dose dependently $TNF-{\alpha}$ production of peritoneal exudative cells activated by lipopolysaccharide. Intraperitoneal injection of GF-2 suppressed the production of IgG1 and IgE antibodies in mice immunized with a mixture of ovalbumin and aluminium hydroxide. These results suggest that GF-2 may be beneficial for the treatment of nonspecific and specific anaphylactic reactions and can be potentially applied to the treatment of allergic diseases.

Optimal conditions for hot water extraction of Liriope spicata tuber were investigated with changes in solvent ratio(2∼6 fold) and heating time(1∼5 hr) by response surface methodology. The content of extractable solids increased with an increased in solvent ratio, and the highest content showed at heating time of 3 hr. The content of total steroid saponin increased with a decrease in solvent ratio, and increased with an increase in heating time at increasing the solvent ratio. The content of non-reducing sugar containing oligosaccharides at a lower solvent ratio didn’t show changes depending on heating time, while that at a higher ration decreased with an increase in heating time. Optimal extraction conditions using hot water as the limited conditions of 15∼18% extractable solids, 1.5∼2.0% total steroid saponin, 6∼8% reducing sugar, 6∼7% non-reducing sugar and 13∼15 brix were 3 hrs of heating time and 4 fold of solvent ratio.

synthesis of artificial kaolinite and the transformation of domestic halloysite have been attempted by means of the hydrothermal treatment. The hydrothermal reaction of the mixtures of gibbsite and amorphous silica was conducted for the synthesis of kaolinite under the pressure of 125MPa at 30$0^{\circ}C$ and especially the seed of kaolinite was added so as to facilitate the synthesis reaction. Domestic pink kaolin of B-grade was hydrothermally treated, in a similar way, for the transformation of crystalline form of it. Boehmite and the artificial kaolinite less than 0.4${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ could be obtained through the hydrothermal reaction. It could also be found that the majority of hyalloysite was transformed into the plate-type kaolinite through the recrystallization by treating hydrothermally for a long time.

Hydrated sodium silicate was synthesized by hydrothermal reaction using anhydrous sodium silicate. The optimum additions of water was 25wt% to make hydrated sodium silicate with homogeneous and purposed water contents. Porous ceramics with homogeneous microstructure and spherical closed pore can be fabricated by elimination of the large pores(a few mm in size) which was formed during first heat treatment through the decomposition of water. Spherical closed pore was formed above $600^{\circ}C$ and the pore size was increased with increasing second heat treatment temperature due to growth of pores. The size of spherical closed pore was varied from 35 to $233\;{\mu}m$ and specific gravity was varied from 0.2 to 1.02 depending on the combinations of the first and second heat treatment temperature.

부산에서 북동쪽으로 대략 25km 떨어진 지점에 위치하고 있는 일광광산 부근의 지질은 백악기 화산암ㆍ퇴적암 그리고 이를 관입한 화강암류와 이 암주 내에 발달하는 구리-중석을 함유하고 있는 각력파이프광상으로 이루어져 있다. 일광광산의 화강암류는 거의 타원형으로 felsic한 중앙부와 mafic한 양상의 주변부로 나뉘어지며, 암주 내에 수직적인 원통형의 각력파이프가 광화대를 이루고 있고, 그 주변에는 모암변질대가 발달되어 있다. 각력파이프를 충진하고 있는 vein과 화강암의 중앙부에는 전기석이 풍부하게 산출되고 있다. 일광광산에서 산출되는 전기석은 야외 관찰시 각력파이프 중심에서부터 외곽부쪽으로 전기석의 풍부함이 감소하며 산출형태도 달라진다. 파이프에서 대략반경 150m내에서 전기석은 침상형 의 방사상 모양 내지 rosettes형으로 풍부하게 산출되며, 화강암내의 mafic한 암편을 치환한 형태로 산출되기도 한다. 암주의 중앙부 주변부에서는 거의 미세한 구상형으로 산재되어 나타나고 있다. 전기석은 복잡한 화학식 {(Na, Ca)(Fe, Mg)$_3$(Al, Li)$_{6}$(BO$_3$)$_3$Si$_{6}$O$_{18}$ (OH, F)$_4$}을 갖는 붕산 규산염광물이다. 이러 한 다양한 성분은 마그마의 진화과정, 모암의 특성, 온도, 압력, 성분과 같은 물리ㆍ화학적 성질에 따라 전기석의 성분이 체계적으로 변하기 때문에 모암과 전기석 기원과의 상관관계를 파악할 수 있다. 파이프 부근의 화강암류는 현미 경상에서 전기석이 석류석과 같이 풍부하게 나타나며 장석들은 변질받은 상태로 세리사이트, 녹렴석으로 나타나고, 흑운모와 각섬석은 녹니석화되어 변질된 상태를 보이고 있다. 파이프 중심에서 외곽부로 갈수록 전기석의 함량은 줄어들고 있고 장석들이 알바이트ㆍ칼스베드 쌍정을 보이며, 흑운모가 각섬석보다는 우세하게 나타나고 있다. 전기석은 주상 결정, 자형 내지 반자형의 입자로 다색성을 보이며, 결정 중심에서 가장자리로 갈수록 파란색과 황갈색의 광학적 누대구조를 관찰할 수 있다. 일광광산에서 산출되는 전기석에 대한 현미경 관찰은 열수기원임을 지시하고 있다. 야외조사와 현미경 관찰의 예비조사에 의하면 일광광산의 전기석이 형성된 환경은 다른2가지 화학적인 저장소의 혼합 효과의 결과로 생성되어진 것으로 예상된다. 일광의 화강암류를 만든 마그마는 전기석을 형성할 만큼의 Fe-Mg성분이 충분하지 않았을 것이다. 화강암 내에 흑운모와 각섬석의 결정작용에 의해 마그마의 Fe-Mg성분이 고갈되어지고 이로 인해 그 함량이 감소하며 상대적으로 마그마 내에 남은 붕소(B$_2$O$_3$)는 열수로 용리되고 흑운모, 각섬석과 평형을 유지하며 열수에 남아있게 된다. 잔류용융체에 남은 붕소의 함량은 전기석을 만들기에 충분함에도 불구하고, Fe-Mg 함량이 부족하여 마그마 기원의 전기석 결정을 만들 수가 없다가 광맥이 형성된 시기에 또 다른 열수가 공급되면서 이전의 평형이 깨지고 기존의 흑운모와 같은 염기성 광물이 붕소(B)를 함유한 새로운 열수와 반응하여 전기석을 형성한 것으로 예상한다. 앞으로 전암과 광물에 대해 지화학적 연구를 통해 화강암류와 전기석과의 지화학적 연관성, 주성분 원소와 열수의 특성과의 상관관계, 전기석의 기원(마그마 기원인지 열수기원인지)이 보다 정확하게 파악될 것이다. 마그마 진화에 따른 전기석의 성분변화와 기원을 이용하여 일광광산의 동광화대를 형성한 마그마 계에서 열수계로 이어지는 지질학적 과정을 이해할 수 있을 것이며, 암석 성인론적 지시자로서 어떠한 중요성을 갖는지 논의되어질 수 있다.

We prepared 2 different crude polysaccharides from persimmon leaves, by hot water (PLW-0) and pectinase digestion (PLE-0), respectively. PLW-0 and PLE-0 showed similar sugar compositions and contained 11 different sugars, including rarely observed sugars such as 2-methyl-fucose, 2-methyl-xylose, apiose, and aceric acid. However, the uronic acid content of PLE-0 was lower than that of PLW-0, because of pectinase treatment. In normal mice, administration of PLW-0 and PLE-0 increased the spleen index and splenocyte proliferation. The effect of PLE-0 on the spleen index and splenocyte proliferation was greater than that of PLW-0. We subsequently assessed the immunomodulatory activities of PLW-0 and PLE-0 on cyclophosphamide (CY)-induced immunosuppressed mice. We revealed that mice treated with PLW- 0 or PLE-0 showed increased splenocyte proliferation, NK cell activity, and white blood cell numbers. Taken together, our results indicate that PLW-0 and PLE-0 can enhance immune function in normal mice and modulate CY-induced immune suppression.

The variation of H/F coefficient (Hubnerite/Feberite coefficient) and the temperature of formation with depth have been studied for the hydrothermal tungsten-quartz veins from Ssangjeon, Weolag, Cheongyang, and Sannae mines. All samples were selected at the same paragenetic stage and mineral assemblege according to depth. The studied mines provide an opportunity to examine and regional variations in wolframite composition in different provinces. The formation temperature is linearly related to the depth. At the Weolag, Cheongyang and Sannae mines, the H/F ratio of wolframite and filling temperatures of fluid inclusions in quartz show a general tendency to decrease at shallow levels, in spite of different geological settings. This implies the pH of fluid will decrease vertically with falling temperature and the high H/F ratio of wolframite in deep zone result in an increase of pH with depth. The Ssangjeon mine exhibits a tendency to increase slightly upwards at shallow level. This implies a different geochemical environment (high pH environment) for the Ssangjeon mine, as compared to the other three mines. The H/F coefficient pattern suggests that it is a useful geothermometer for vein-type tungsten deposits in Korea. The H/F coefficient as an indication of depth should be examined for use in exploration.

Rare and unusual occurrence of hydrothermal minerals were found in Geode mine area. They are developed in the late stage of hydrothermal alteration of earlier skarns and later by the open-space filling crystallization. The alteration of earlier skarns of clinopyroxene, garnet, and plagioclase formed mainly chlorite or sometimes uncommon hydrothermal minerals of prehnite, illite, and pumpellyite. Open-space filling crystallization characterized by hydrothermal minerals developedin open sapce or good are prehnite, pumpellyite, clinozoisite, illite, and Ca-zeolites of stilbite annstellerite. Mineral phases and paragenesis are examined in detail by microscopy, XRD, SEM, and EPMA. Using the Schreinemaker's method, equibrium reactions among these minerals are establishedand isothemal-isobaric phase diagrams of $\mu$$H_2O$-$\mu$$CO_2$cot are plotted. Hydrothermal minerals such asprehnite, pumpellyite, clinozoisite, illite, and some chlorite were ffrmed under high partial pressure of $CO_2$with relatively low $H_2$O fugacity. Later, stilbite and calcite in association with illite crystallized under relatively both high partial Pressure of $CO_2$and high $H_2$O fugacity.

To investigate the alleviative effect of white tea water extract on the inflammation and skin barrier damage, skin aging animal model was produced by the irradiation of UVB to the backs of hairless mice for 12 weeks. And then experimental materials were applied topically for 4 weeks. At the 28th day of experiment, positive control (PC, 0.01% retinoic acid treatment) and experimental groups (E1, 1% white tea water extract treatment; E2, 2% white tea water extract treatment) had significantly (p<0.001) lower values of both skin erythema index and transepidermal water loss (TEWL) than the control (C, saline treatment) group. The appearance of mast cell and the degree of its degranulation in dermal and subcutaneous layers were remarkably reduced in E1 and E2 groups compared to the C group. It is found that white tea water extract is effective in skin barrier damage and inflammation in hairless mouse.
