The cytidine bio-sensors have been constructed by immobilizing the bacterium Proteus mirabilis and organelle on an ammonia gas sensor. The bacterial sensor was investigated for the effects of pH, temperature, buffer solution, bacterial amounts, interferences and lifetime. The bacterial sensor had linearity in the range of 5.0 ${\times}$ 10$^{-4}$M ∼ 1.0 ${times}$ 10$^{-2}$M cytidine with a slope of 56 mV/decade at pH 7.8, 30$^{\circ}C$ and 3 mg in 1.0 M phosphate buffer solution. This bacterial sensor was compared with it's organelle sensor.

This study was carried out to discuss a colorimetric method for the determination of nitrite in meat products issued by the Ministry of Health and Social Affaires of Korea (1985). 1) The recovery rates of nitrite of test solution extracted in the room temperature were higher than those obtained by the heating extraction. 2) In the room temperature, samples prepared with the sUce were more effective than the blendina method and the distlled water as extractina solvent for nitrite was more effective tban tbe phospbate buffer solution. 3) The extracting time showed that thirty minutes were enough to extract nitrite and the diazotizingcoupling reagents, 30% of sulfanilamide and N-l-naphthylethyienediamine were better than others. 4) The nitrite in a test soiution greatly decreased when the solution was distilled. In this case, the test solution should be used as a control. 5) Ten minutes were enough to couple nitrite.

Complex formation of magnesium-Eriochrome Black T at constant ionic strength and hydrogen ion concentration have been studied spectrophotometrically in acetonitrile solution. The measured pH values were calibrated with standard buffer solutions by using a glass electrode Ag/0.1M $AgNO_3$ reference electrode couple. The results are as follows;$E_{glass}=716+59.1\;logA_{H+}[mv]$+(in mv. vs. Ag reference electrode for picric acid $-10^{-3}M$ tetramethylammonium picrate buffer), and $E_{glass}=1,193+59.1\;logA_{H+}[mv]$(in mv. vs. Ag reference electrode for 1,3-diphenylguanidine $-3{\times}10^{-3}M $ 1,3-diphenylguanidine perchlorate buffer). The acid dissociation exponent of ligand, $ pK_{H,EBT-}$was found to be 9.1. The conditional formation constants of $MgEBT^{-}$complex by log-ratio method were 3.97 (when m = 2) and 5.02 (when m = 1) as $log K_n$, respectively, for the reaction of $H_mEBT^{(3-m)-} + Mg^{2+} {\leftrightarrow}MgEBT^{-} + mH^{+}$. The present study showed that$MgEBT^{-}$ has the composition of 1:1 which agrees with the result of Schwarzenbach et al. in aqueous solution.

Vanadate가 가토 신피질절편에서 PAH이동과 Na-K-ATPase활성에 미치는 효과를 관찰한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1) Vanadate는 Na-K-ATPase활성을 농도에 따라 억제하였으며 $7.94{\times}10^{-7}M$에서 이 효소의 활성이 50% 억제되었다. 2) Vanadate는 PAH의 능동적이동을 농도에 따라 억제하였으며 50%억제농도는 대략 $10^{-4}M$ 이었고, 수동적이동에는 영향을 미치지 못하였다. 조직내 Na과 K의 양도 vanadate가 PAH이동을 억제하는 농도 범위에서 같이 변화하였고 산소소모량은 $10^{-4}M$까지는 약간 감소하였으나 $10^{-3}M$에서는 오히려 증가하였다. 3) 30분간 preincubation한 후에도 15분까지의 PAH이동은 30분 이후에 비해 vanadate에 의해 적게 억제되었다. 4) $10^{-4}M$ vanadate와 $10^{-4}M$ ouabain은 가역적으로 PAH 이동을 억제하였으며 $10^{-3}M$ vanadate는 비가역적으로 억제하였고 장시간 세척후에도 거의 같은 정도의 억제양상을 나타내었다. 5) Vanadate에 의한 PAH이동의 억제정도는 incubation용액내 $Na^+$의 감소, $K^+$의 증가에 의하여 증가하였고 $Ca^{2+}$의 농도 변화에 의해서는 영향을 받지 않았다. 6) Vanadate가 존재치 않을 때 Tris완충용액 사용시는 pH 8.2까지 PAH축적정도가 증가하였고 phosphate완충용액 사용시는 pH 7.4에서 최대축적치를 보였다. pH가 증가함에 따라 억제정도는 증가하였으며 같은 pH에서도 완충용액의 종류에 따라 vanadate에 의한 억제정도가 달랐다. 7) Vanadate와 ouabain은 PAH이등과 Na-K-ATPase활성에 부가적 억제작용을 나타내었다. 이상의 결과로 vanadate는 가토신장의 세포내부에서 Na-K-ATPase를 가역적으로 억제함으로써 PAH의 이동을 억제하는 것으로 생각되며 PAH의 이동은 Na-K-ATPase활성과 기능적으로 밀접히 연결되어 있는 것으로 생각된다.

The surface plasmon resonance ellipsometer (SPRE), using a multiple air injection system with an extraction of air system, has been proposed and developed to minimize measurement error of signals due to diffusion of reagent into running buffer. Since the diffusion of reagent into running buffer affects the refractive index of the running buffer by changing the concentration, characteristics of binding between various bio-molecules don't appear clearly in measurement results. The diffusion between running buffer and reagent can be blocked by using an air bubble injection system. An extraction of air system is used to remove the noise signal due to unnecessary air bubbles flowing in a channel. Reliability of measurement results has been improved by using the valve system.

A preparation method and response characteristics of a glucose sensor which consisted of pH-ISFET and glucose oxidase-immobilized membrane were investigated. The pH-ISFET glucose sensor was fabricated by immbilizing bovine serum albumin and glucose oxidase with glutaraldehyde on gate of the pH-ISFET. Effects of pH and concentration of working buffer and enzyme load on the pontentiometric response of the pH-ISFET glucose sensor were examined. Response characteristics for the determination of glucose in synthetic physiological saline solution(pH 7.4) were as follows. That is the concentration range of linear response, slope of linear response(sensitivity), and response time were $1.0{\times}10^{-4}{\sim}6.0{\times}10^{-3}M $, 4.1 mV/decade, and 12~15 min., respectively.

Formation of superoxide anion $O_2\bar{{\bullet}}$ in the autoxidation of L-ascorbic acid (AsA) in the presence of heavy metal ions were determined. The generation of $O_2\bar{{\bullet}}$ was studied by using superoxide dismutase (SOD) in aqueous and buffer solution, and using nitro bule tetrazolium (NBT) in methanol solution. The remaining amount of AsA was significantly higher in the presence of SOD than in its absence. It suggested that SOD stabilizes AsA in aqueous and buffer solution because of scavenging $O_2\bar{{\bullet}}$ formed during the autoxidation reaction of AsA in the presence of heavy metal ions. NBT has an absorption maximum at about 560 nm in methanol solution. The absorbance at 560 nm increased during the oxidation of AsA, suggested the formation of $O_2\bar{{\bullet}}$in methanol solution. Thus, the formation of $O_2\bar{{\bullet}}$ was confirmed during the autoxidation of AsA not only in aqueous solution but also in methanol solution in the presence heavy metal ions.

Small intestinal submucosa (SIS) is consisted with collagen and glycosaminoglycan as well as some growth factors which can stimulate cell activity. Recently, it has been recognized that SIS has been successfully examined in the bio-medical application as biomaterials without xenograft immune-rejection response. We prepared native SIS sheets and acid treated SIS sheets by acetic acid with 1 or 5-layered sheets, respectively. The water uptake ability of native and acid treated SIS sheets was examined to evaluate the possibility as wound dressings. Morphologies of SIS sheets were characterized by SEM and the effects of various buffer solutions and different pH solutions on the water uptake ability were observed for 16 days. We observed that the acid treated SIS sheets had higher water uptake ability than native SIS sheets. Also, the water uptake ability of these was slightly higher in various buffers than distilled water. In conclusion, this study suggests that native and acid treated SIS sheets could be useful for the applications of wound dressing and biodegradable injectable materials.

This study was carried out to investigate the stability of dinobuton (2-sec-butyl-4,6-dinitrophenyl isopropyl carbonate) in distilled water and buffer solutions and its persistence in soils. When dinobuton was incubated at $30^{\circ}C$ and $60^{\circ}C$ in distilled water, the half-lives of dinobuton was 28 and 6 days, respectively. The decomposition of dinobuton was, therefore, faster at high temperature than at low temperature. The half-life of dinobuton was about 27 days in the acidic solution $(pH\; 4{\sim}6)$, whereas 10 and 4 days in the alkaline solutions of pH 9, and 10, respectively. Thus dinobuton was stable in acidic solution, and unstable in alkaline solution. Dinoseb (2-sec-butyl-4,6-dinitrophenol), which is produced in the degradation process of dinobuton, was produced in small amounts in distilled water and buffer solutions. The half-life of dinobuton in sterilized soil was about 16 days longer than in non-sterilized soil. Dinoseb was also more persistent in sterilized soil than in non-sterilized one.
