CFC compounds such as CFC-113 and 1,1,1-TCE, etc. have been used in various industries due to their excellent chemical stability, thermodynamic characteristics, non-inflammability and anti-corrosiveness. However, in oder to protect the earth environment, "the Montreal Protocol on substances that deplete the ozone layer" was adopted in 1989 for prevention of production and utilization of these CFC compounds and alternative cleaning agent have been required in the industry. The objective of this study is to develop non-aqueous cleaning agents that do not require major change of cleaning system, have excellent cleaning efficiency, are favorable to the environment, are harmless to the human body, and are not generated corrosive materials. In this work, non-aqueous cleaning agents have been formulated with glycol ether series and paraffinic hydrocarbon series with siloxane, and their physical properties and cleaning efficiencies were analyzed and compared with those of regulated materials. As a result of physical properties measurement of the formulated cleaning agents, it is expected that they may have good penetration ability into contaminated materials due to their properties with low density and low surface tension. Measurement of flash point and vapor pressure of the cleaning agents will be helpful for evaluation of their safety and working environment. The experimental results of cleaning flux, solder and grease by the formulated cleaning agents show that their cleaning abilities of soils were good and that there were no residues on the substance after cleaning. Therefore, alternative cleaning agents which have equivalent cleaning ability to regulating materials, good penetration ability and low hazard to human body, have been developed in this work.

We developed the doxorubicin-loaded PLGA double-layered microspheres using relatively simple oil-in-water (O/W) solvent evaporation method for sustained release of doxorubicin and investigated the release behavior according to PLGA molecular weight and initial drug loading. The double-layered microsphere was characterized on the surface, the cross-section morphology, the behavior of doxorubicin release for 5 weeks by SEM and fluorescence spectrophotometer. Double-layered microspheres showed smooth surfaces and clear difference between core and outer-shell. As the PLGA molecular weight increased, the release rate of doxorubicin-loaded, double-layered microspheres decreased. These results showed that the release behaviors can be controlled by the variation of molecular weight of PLGA.

Poly(${\varepsilon}$-caprolactone) (PCL) nanofibers and PCL/silica membranes were synthesized by sol-gel derived electrospinning and casting, respectively. Smooth PCL nanofibers were obtained from the precursor containing N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). PCL/silica membranes were prepared by varying the tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) contents from 0 to 40 vol% to investigate the effect of silica addition on mechanical properties and cytotoxicity of the membranes. Although the strength of the membranes decreased from 12 to 8 MPa with increasing the silica content, the strength remained almost constant 7 weeks after dipping in phosphate buffered saline solution (PBS). The strength reduction was attributed to the presence of a patterned surface pores and micro-pores present in the walls between pores. The crystal structure of the membranes was orthorhombic and the crystallite size decreased from 57 to 18 nm with increasing the silica content. From the agar overlay test, the PCL/silica membranes exhibited neither deformation and discoloration nor lysis of L-929 fibroblast cells.

The purified antifungal substances produced by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens IUB158-03 was positive to ninhydrin but negative to aniline, suggesting that the antifungal substance could be a peptide. FAB-MS, UV adsorption spectrum, and amino acid composition analysis revealed that the molecular weight of the antifungal substance was 1042 and that maximal adsorption was at 220 nm and 277 nm. The antifungal substance was composed of $Asn_3$, $Gln_2$, $Ser_1$, $Gly_1$, and $Tyr_1$. The composition and structural characteristics of antifungal substance were analysed by $^1H$-NMR spectrum, $^1H$-COSY, HMQC, which revealed that the compound belongs to the iturin A family. Temperature and pH had little effect on the stability of the antifungal substance in the ranges of $-70{\sim}121^{\circ}C$ and pH 6.0~10.0, respectively. It showed strong antibiotic activity against fungi. An in vitro cytotoxicity test using NIH3T3 cell showed that the antifungal substance does not have cytotoxicity. The number of circulating leukocytes and the hematobiological analysis of the mice administered with the antifungal substances was similar to those of the control group, indicating no cytotoxicity in vivo. Therefore, the antifungal substances extracted from culture broth of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens IUB158-03 have future potential as biocontrol agents against plant diseases caused by fungi.

The in vitro thrombin inhibitory activities of 304 crude extracts from 76 kinds of korean wild insects were evaluated. Measurement of thrombin time showed that the DMSO extracts of Acrida cinerea cinerea (Thunberg), Anax parthenope julius Brauer, Eurydema rugosa Motschulsky, and Stethophyma magister (Rehn) and the water extracts of Dolycoris baccarum Linne, Lixus divaricatus Motschulsky, Metrioptera bonneti, Moechotypa diphysis (Pascoe), Nicrophorus concolor sp., and Tomapoderus ruficollis (Fabricius) had strong thrombin inhibitory activity. No prominent changes of activated partial thromboplastin time by treatment of the selected extracts suggested direct inhibition of thrombin activity by the insect extracts. DPPH scavenging activity of selected extracts showed that the extract of A. cinerea cinerea (Thunberg), D. baccarum Linne, L. divaricatus Motschulsky and N. concolor sp. has good antioxidant activity as well as antithombin activity. Our results suggested that some of korean wild insects could be developed as a natural source of antithrombosis.

As an approach to study a new natural antioxidant for edible fats and oils, antioxidative fractions from acorn powder were characterized. The oxidative stabilities of soybean, palm, beef tallow, and lard oil containing the acorn active fraction extracted with various organic solvents were studied by determining the peroxide value during the storage at $60^{\circ}C.$ And this effective antioxidative components were isolated and identified by thin layer chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography. The proximate compositions of acorn powder were water 11.9~12.0%, protein 7.1~7.4%, starch 65.5~69.4%, fat 2.1~2.6%, fiber 2.1~3.6%, ash 2.4~2.6%, and total tannin 4.6~6.8%, respectively. The final yield of fraction extracted by sequential order of acetone : $H_2O$(1 : 1) and ethylacetate was 2.8~3.1%. Gallic acid, digallic acid and gallotannin were contained this final fraction. The main antioxidative activity was speculated due to the presence of gallic acid in acorn powder extract. The antioxidative activity was more effective in fat water emulsion than just fat system. Antioxidative activities measured by peroxide value were quite high in beef tallow and soybean emulsion, but low in lard and palm oil emulsion in the concentration of 200ppm acorn extract. Therefore, the addition of 200ppm acorn extract was suggested to expect effective antioxidation concentration in the reaction system.

버섯은 균사체와 자실체를 가진 고등균류로서 옛날부터 식용은 물론 약용으로 많이 사용되어 왔으며 부작용이 없는 저칼로리 식품으로서, 영양적인 측면과 의약품으로서의 효능을 가진 식품으로 인식되어 소비량이 날로 증가하는 추세이다. 버섯은 항균자용, 항암작용, 면역증강작용, 혈압강하 효과 및 혈중 콜레스테롤합성 억제효과 등의 다양한 생리활성을 나타내고 있어 국내에서도 버섯의 균사체 배양이 활기를 띄고 있다. 본 연구에서는 5종류의 버섯(아가리쿠스, 상황, 노루궁뎅이, 운지, 동충하초)의 균사체 배양원액을 10%, 30%, 50%, 100% 함유한 음료로서 전자공여능, 아질산염소거능, MDA cell과 A549 cell에 대한 암세포 증식억제 작용을 조사하였다. 5종류의 버섯 균사체 음료의 전자공여능은 발효원액을 30% 함유한 경우에 72∼89%였으며 100% 원액의 경우는 87∼93%의 탁월한 항산화능을 나타내었다. 균사체 음료의 아질산염 소거능은 노루궁뎅이버섯이 가장 높아서 균사체 원액은 73%, 112 희석액은 51%였으며 다음은 동충하초의 균사체 원액이 52%를 나타내었고 나머지 3종류의 버섯 균사체는 28∼36%의 아질산염소거능을 나타내었다. 균사체 발효음료 원액은 MBA cell에 대하여 5종류의 버섯 모두에서 82∼85%의 높은 암세포 증식억제작용을 나타내었고 동충하초는 1/2 희석액에서도 80%이상의 증식억제활성을 나타내었다. 균사체 발효음료 원액의 A549 cell에 대한 증식억제능은 동충하초 발효원액이 68%, 상황 발효원액이 50%로서 MDA cell에 대한 증식억제효과 보다는 효능이 낮은 편이었다. 전체적으로 5종류의 버섯 균사체 발효음료는 항산화작용, 아질산염소거능, 항암활성이 우수한 기능성 음료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.적으로 평가하는데 적합하나 아직 국내에선 X-선을 이용한 가공용 감자의 내부 결함특성에 대한 연구는 이뤄지지 않고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 가공용 감자의 내부결함 특성중 하나인 내부동공의 X-선에 의한 특성을 본 연구소에 있는 X-선 발생장비로 측정해 보고 비파괴적인 방법으로 실시간 가능성을 시험하였다. 감자는 수원 농산물 도매시장에서 2003년산 가공용 감자 (품종:선농)를 구매하여 사용하였다. 감자내 내부동공은 35 ∼ 40 kV와 5.25 mA값으로 발생된 X-선에 의해 잘 검출되는 것으로 나타나, 현장에서 충분히 활용가능 할 것으로 판단되었다. 금후, 실시간으로 내부동공을 검출할 수 있는 시스템을 개발할 계획이다.정한 결과 메탄올에서는 5% 농도차이가 그 추출효율에 유의적인 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 에탄올에서는 40%에서 가장 높은 함량이 측정되었고 아세톤에서는 50%에서 측정되었다. 따라서 시료의 상태와 상관없이 배 과피의 페놀성물질 추출용매로는 40∼70%의 함수 아세톤이 적합한 것으로 사료된다.en delicious는 상온에서60일 동안 보관하였을 경우, 사과표피의 색도 변화를 현저히 지연시킴을 확인하였다. 또한 control과 비교하여 성공적으로 사과에 코팅하였으며, 상온에서 보관하여을 때 사과의 품질을 30일 이상 연장하는 효과를 관찰하였다. 이들 결과로부터 대두단백질 필름이 과일 등의 포장제로서 이용할 가능성을 확인하였다.로 [-wh] 겹의문사는 복수 의미를 지닐 수 없 다. 그러면 단수 의미는 어떻게 생성되는가\ulcorner 본 논문에서는 표면적 형태에도 불구하고 [-wh]의미의 겹의문사는 병렬적 관계의 합성어가 아니라 내부구조를 지니지 않은 단순한 단어(minimal $X^{0}$ elements

The present study describes the cytotoxic effect of Artemisia fukudo extracts. The extract from A. fukudo by 80% ethanol was fractionated with n-hexane, dichloromethane, ethylacetate, and butanol in serial. The cytotoxicity of A. fukudo extracts was examined for its effect on the growth of HL-60 cells by the colorimetric 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. In addition, we used the HL-60 cells to see what effects the A. fukudo extracts will have on apoptosis of cancer cells. We checked the cell activity, cell morphologic changes, DNA fragmentation, and DNA content after 24 hr incubation with administering 25 ${\mu}g/mL$ of the A. fukudo extracts. In the treatment of the low concentration of n-hexane and dichloromethane fractions, the survival rate of HL-60 cells is lower than that of the control. The laddering-pattern DNA fragmentation was observed in the treatment with n-hexane and dichloromethane fractions. The DNA content of the cells apoptosis measured as the density of sub-$G_{1}$ hypodiploid cells by flow cytometric analysis. The number of sub-$G_{1}$ hypodiploid cells increased in the treatment with n-hexane and dichloromethane fractions. These fractions obstructed the cell cohesion and caused the blebbing of the cell membrane and fragmentation of the nucleus, both of which are symptoms of apoptosis. These results suggest that A. fukudo has a great potential value as food additives, medicinal supplements for patients with chronic diseases, and preventive measures against cancer.

The effects of added alcohols on the critical micelle concentration(CMC) of cetylpyridinium bromide(CPB) were investigated by the UV-Vis spectrophotometer at the temperature range of 8∼45$^{\circ}C$. The CMC of CPB was increased with the addition of methanol in the whole temperature region studied, while decreased with the addition of ethanol and propanol. The increase of CMC with the addition of methanol may be attributable to the increasing solvent power of the methanol-water mixture, because methanol was scarcely solubilized into the palisade layer of the micelle of CPB. The decrease of CMC with the inclusion of ethanol and propanol may be derived from the solubilization of alcohols into the micelles. On the other hand, the CMC was decreased with the temperature rise in the low-temperature region below about 25$^{\circ}C$, and the CMC was increased in the high-temperature region above that. The thermodynamic parameters (${\Delta}G_M^{\circ},\;{\Delta}H_M^{\circ},\;and\;{\Delta}S_M^{\circ}$) of the micellization of CPB were obtained in some aqueous alcohol solutions. In the whole temperature region (8∼45$^{\circ}C$), the values of ${\Delta}G_M^{\circ}$ were negative, while those of ${\Delta}S_M^{\circ}$ were positive. And in the temperature region below about 25$^{\circ}C$ the ${\Delta}H_M^{\circ}$ values were positive, while in the temperature region above that the values were negative.

The objective of this study was to investigate the physicochemical properties of domestic strong wheat flour (DSWF). Three commercial DSWFs (D1, D2, and D3) were compared with imported strong wheat flour (ISWF). DSWFs had higher moisture content, crude protein content, lightness, and whiteness than ISWF. DSWFs showed lower solvent retention capacity and water absorption index than ISWF. DSWFs also showed significantly higher water solubility index than ISWF (P<0.05). Setback values by rapid visco analysis were significantly higher in D1 and D2 than in ISWF and D3, which means ISWF and D3 were better in retarding retrogradation. Differential scanning calorimetry results showed that ISWF required 6.2 J/g of energy for phase transition, whereas DSWFs needed 6.67~7.13 J/g. The farinograph results showed that ISWF had higher water absorption, longer dough stability time, and significantly higher softening of dough at 20 min than DSWF (P<0.05). Dough resistance and extensibility were higher in ISWF than in DSWFs.
