The general pharmacological effects of DWQ-013, a new synthetic quinolone antibacterial agent, were examined on the central nervous system in experimentral animals and the following results were obtained. Drug interaction of DWQ-013 with theophylline, fenbufen and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs was also examined. DWQ-013 decreased touch escape effect on the general behavior and decreased body temperature at a concentration of 1000 mg/kg in mice. But DWQ 013 had no effect on the locomotor activity, rotarod perfomance and traction test in mice. Furthermore, DWQ-013 increased pentobarbital-induced sleeping time and affected the onset time in acetic acid-induced writhing test in mice. DWQ-013 reduced onset time and death time on strychnine-induced convulsions and death time on pentylenetetrazole-induced convulsions at a concentration of 1000 mg/kg in mice. But, the drug had no effect on the electroshock. DWQ-013 did not interact with fenbufen and any other NSAIDs but it did interact with theophylline. From these results, it could be suggested that DWQ-013 had less pharmacological effect than other quinolones on the central nervous system.

In our previous studies, we had clarified many pharmacological effects of majarine: the bacteriostatic effect in vitro; the potentiation of hypnotic action of alcohol; hypotensive effect in rats and hypothermic effect in mice. This study was undertaken to search for a new antihypertensive drug. Red crystalline was obtained from majarine (which was extracted from Berberis koreana Palibin) by chemical methods. And this crystalline was identified as $C_{19}H＿{16}NO＿4$ contained one hydroxy group instead of methoxy group of majarine in isoquinoline ring and named 'Majarol' (5,6-Dihydro-9-hydroxy, 10-methoxybenzo-[g]-1,3-benzodioxolo [5,6-a] quinolizinium). We examined the effects of majarol on blood pressure and heart rate in urethane ancsthetized rats and the rate and amplitude of contraction of isolated frog heart. Several drugs: atropine sulfate, diphenhydramine chloride, hexamethonium bromide, phentolamine, epinephrine, propranolol and isoproterenol were used to clarify the mechanism of the hypotensive action of majarol. The results of experimints were as follows; 1. In low dose (0.5-2mg/kg, i.v.), majarol showed a typical transient hypotensive effect and slight decrease in heart rate. In high dose (5-10 mg/kg, i.v.), majarol showed a typical transient and a subsequent prolonged hypotensive effect and a significant prolonged decrease in heart rate was followed. 2. The hypotensive effects of majarol was not abolished by the pretreatments with atropine sulfate, hexamethonium bromide and diphenhydramine. The pretreatment with phentolamine inhibited significantly the hypotensive effects of majarol and the pretreatment wtih majarol blocked markedly the hypertensive effect of epinephrine. The positive chronotropic effect of isoproterenol was not blocked by the pretreatment with majarol. 3. In low dose, majarol increased the amplitude and decreased rate of contraction, but in high dose, majarol inhibited the amplitude and rate of contraction of isolated frog heart.

$TiO_2$ powders were synthesized via hydrolysis reaction of titanium n-propoxide in n-propanol solvent and the reaction rates were studied by use of UV-vis spectroscopic method. Concentration of water, reaction temperature, reaction time and acid-base effects of the solution were investigated to determine the optimum conditions for $TiO_2$ powder synthesis. The reaction were controlled to proceed to pseudo-first orders reaction in the presence of excess water in n-propanol solvent. The rate constants which varied with temperature and concentration of water were calculated by Guggenheim method. Reaction using $D_2O$ was also carried out to determine the catalytic character of water. $TiO_2$ powders were synthesized only in the neutral and basic solution and those were almost spheric forms having average particle size of $0.4-0.7{\mu}m$ diameter. Particle size decreased with increasing concentration of water and reaction temperature, however, increased with increasing reaction time. Associative $S_N2$ mechanism for the hydrolysis was proposed from the data of n-value in the transition state and thermodynamic parameter. $D_2O$ solvent isotope effect showed that $H_2O$ molecules reacted as nucleophilic catalysis.

Poly(ester-imide)(PEI) for the electrical insulation coating was synthesized and evaluated with one-step method as well as two-step method. For the synthesis of poly(ester-imide), imide repeat unit of N,N'-(4,4'-diphenylmethane) bistrimellitimide(DID) was initially made from trimellitic anhydride(TMA) and methylene dianiline(MDA), followed by the second stage reaction of esterification. One-step reaction was performed by reaction of TMA, MDA, dimethyl terephthalate(DMT), ethylene glycol(EG), and 1,3,5-tris-(2-hydroxy ethyl) isocyanurate(THEIC) in m-cresol solvent at a time. The synthesized poly(ester-imide) was cured with xylene, P-5030K(phenol-formaldehyde resin), TK-8(TDI type blocked polyisocyanate) and tetrapropyltitanate(TPT). It was found that the content of hydroxyl group, amount of DMT, and imide repeat unit played important role for the properties of electrical insulation coating film.

The production of hepatoprotective exo-polysaccharide by using synthetic and industrial grade media of the submerged mycelial culture of Ganoderma lucidum WK-003 was compared. The optimum concentrations of molasses and corn steep liquor (industrial grade) for the production of exo-polysaccharide were 5% and 2.5%, respectively. The productions of the exo-polysaccharide by using a 5l jar fermenter with industrial grade medium and synthetic medium were 11.2 g D.W./l and 7.2g D.W./l, respectively. Glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT) activities in the serum of intoxicated Sprague-Dawley rats by oral administration of the exo-polysaccharide produced from the industrial grade and synthetic media for 4 consecutive days were decreased from 704 IU/L to 356IU/L and 704IU/L to 349IU/L, respectively.

A set of lab-scale polymer synthetic fiber packed column wetlands composing three columns (CW1, CW2 and CW3) with different hydraulic regimes, recirculation frequencies and pollutant loading rates, were operated in 2012. Synthetic fiber tested as an alternative wetland medium for soil mixture or gravel which has been widely used, has very high pore size and volume, so that clogging opportunity can be greatly avoided. The inflow to the wetland was artificial stormwater. All the wetlands achieved effective removal of TSS (94%~96%), TCOD (68%~73%), TN (35%~58%), TKN (62%~73%) and NH4-N (85%~ 99%). Particularly, it was observed that COD was released from the fiber during one distinct period in all wetlands. This was probably due to the degradation of polymer fiber, and the released organic matters were found to serve as carbon source for denitrification. In addition, with longer retention time and frequent recirculation, lower effluent concentration was observed. With higher pollutant loading rate, higher nitrification and denitrification rates were achieved. However, although organic matters were released from the fiber, the lack of carbon source was still the limiting factor for the system since the release persisted only for 40 days.

To understand the application in farm for the fish aquaculture, we investigated biological and pathological traits on red sea bream Pagrus major which were reared in each copper-alloy net cage and the synthetic fiber net cage for 9 months. Two groups of cage were made and set in Yokji-eup, Tongyoung, Gyeongsangnam-do in size of 25 m in diameter and 10 m of depth. Survival rate of the red sea bream in the rearing copper-alloy net cage and synthetic fiber cage showed 99.75% and 99.70% respectively, there was no significant difference. Daily weight growth rate in each net was shown to 2.13 g/day and 1.65 g/day. Health analysis by blood composition analysis showed a favorable result in the copper-alloy net cage rather than in the synthetic fiber net. Bioaccumulation of heavy metal such as Cu and Zn especially in gonad was higher than other organ. Bioaccumulation of Cu and Zn in the muscle was lower compared to the permitted standard for food safety. Pathogenic infection test discovered Microcotyle tai for parasite, V. alginolyticus and other five species for bacteria. But there was a little bit difference of bacteria infection in copper-alloy net cage and copper-alloy net cage is expected to be has antibacterial effect. Thus, copper-alloy net cage can be applied to farm considering its system stability, recycling, antibiosis and food safety.

Copolymerization of the 4-vinylpyridine with vinylacetate and divinylbenzene initiated by azobis-isobutyronitrile was carried out in DMF in presence $BaCl_2$ at $98^{\circ}C$. Ion exchange res in, poly 4-vinylpyridine-vinylsulfonic acid-divinylbenzene was prepared by sulfonation of 4-vinylpyridine-vinylacetatp-divinylbenzene with concentrated sulfuric acid. The compositions of each synthetic resin were identified by means of ir adsorption spectroscopy. Anion and cation capacities of 4-vinylpyridine-vinylsulfonic acid-divinylbenzene ion exchanger were 2.5meq/g and 4.8meq/g, respectively. Adsorption of Cd(II) and Cu(II) ions have showed larger quantity in alkalie media. A study also was made of the influence of alcohol on the distribution coefficient of Cd(II) and Cu(II) ions between the synthetic ion exchanger, and solution containing hydrochloric acid, various alcohols and water. The distribution coefficients of metal ions decrease generally as the number of branches of carbon in the molecule of butyl alcohol increase. (t-BuOH

The charge-transfer compound (OMTTF)AuCl$_4$ was prepared from the direct reaction of octamethylenethiafulvalene (OMTTF) with HAuCl$_4{\cdot}xH_2$O in THF. (OMTTF)$_2PtCl_4$, (OMTTF)_2IrCl_6{\cdot}2H_2$O, and (OMTTF)Os$Cl_5{\cdot}THF$ were also formed using $H_2PtCl_6{\cdot}xH_2O$, $H_2IrCl_6{\cdot}xH_2O$ and $H_2OsCl_6$, respectively. The prepared compounds were characterized by magnetic (EPR, magnetic susceptibility), spectroscopic (IR, UV-Vis), electrochemical (CV) methods, and the powdered electrical conductivity measurement. The powdered electrical conductivities at room temperature were ~$10^{-7}S{\cdot}cm^{-1}$. The experimental results show that $OMTTF^+$ monocation radicals exist in all of the prepared compounds. The redox potential of OMTTF supports that $OMTTF^+$ is relatively stable. The magnetic properties indicate that there are significant magnetic interactions between the localized odd electrons on the central metal (Ir and Os) ions and the odd electrons resided on $OMTTF^+$ cation radicals in both (OMTTF) $_2IrCl_6{\cdot}2H_2O$ and (OMTTF)$OsCl_5{\cdot}THF$.
