The purpose of this study was to reveal the influence of consumers' Hanbok involvement and arousal seeking tendency on their Hanbok preference and purchasing behavior. The survey subjects were male and female consumers ranging in age from teens to those in their fifties. An online survey was conducted, and 627 people were analyzed. Version 26.0 of SPSS was used to perform a t-test as well as frequency, correlation, factor, reliability, and regression analyses. As a result, both Hanbok involvement and arousal seeking tendency derived four factors each. All four factors of Hanbok involvement had a significant effect on Hanbok preference. Two factors of arousal seeking tendency had a significant effect on Hanbok preference. Hanbok preference had a partially significant effect on Hanbok purchasing behavior. Hanbok involvement and arousal seeking tendency had a partially significant impact on Hanbok purchasing behavior. In conclusion, this study is meaningful in that it, for the first time, derived the factor of Hanbok involvement by considering the concept of involvement as it relates to Hanbok and identified that involvement and arousal seeking tendency are variables that affect Hanbok preference and purchasing behavior.

To obtain large pools of lactic acid bacteria, a strain was isolated from Tongchimi. Through its sugar fermentation and analysis of 16S rRNA gene, it was identified to be Lactobacillus plantarum HB1. This strain is Gram-positive and catalase-negative. In the range of 1～88 bp in the HB1 16S rRNA gene, the HB1 strain was homologous with other L. plantarum strains by almost 100%, and in the range of the rest 32 bp, the HB1 strain showed considerable variation, compared to other strains. Nitrate which may exist in radish can be easily converted to nitrite. The nitrite interacts with amine, and becomes nitrosamine which may cause stomach cancer. The culture obtained by HB1 strain could eliminate 400 ${\mu}M$ nitrite within 1.5 hr. It is necessary to isolate specific components which are involved in nitrite elimination in the culture and to study on its mechanism.

The effect of vanadate on the optimum pH of Na-K-ATPase was investigated. The results were as follows: 1) The optimum PH of Na-K-ATPase was shifted from PH 7.4 to 6.8 at 10 mM K by $5{\times}10^{-6}M$ vanadate. 2) The ratio of Na-K-ATPase activity at pH 6.8 and 7.4 increased with increasing vanadate concentration. 3) Inspite of the presence of $5{\times}10^{-6}M$ vanadate Na-K-ATPase activity at pH 7.4 was higher than that at pH 6.8 below 50 mM $Na^+$, and the ratio of Na-K-ATPase activity at pH 7,4 and 6.8 was higher than that of the control. 4) Na-K-ATPase activity at pH 7.4 was higher than that at pH 6.8 below 7mM $K^+$. 5) Optimum pH of Na-K-ATPase activity was shifted from pH 7.4 to 6.8 by $10^{-5}M$ vanadate at 5 mM $K^+$. 6) $K^+$-pNPPase activity increased with lowering of pH, and the degree of inhibition of $K^+$-pNPPase activity by $10^{-7}$M vanadate was decreased with lowering of pH. These results suggest that vanadate shifts the optimum pH of Na-K-ATPase activity to more acidic PH than PH 7.4. This effect may not be caused by the decrease in the inhibitory potency of vanadate itself to Na-K-ATPase by the change of medium pH, but mainly by the alteration of Na-and K-binding site, which appears in the presence of vanadate only.
