Triphenyl Tetrazolium Chloride(TCC) reduction test is simple and sensitive to some residual antibiotics (especially to penicillin) in milk, but comparatively insensible to sulfo-namides. The volumn of sample is also large. Thus this study was undertaken to increase the detectable level of sulfonamides in raw milk. In this study, we used small transparent plastic hole and pulp disc instead of 10m1 test tube and made test medium in which was added 0.08%TTC, 0.3% agar, 10% skim milk, approximately $10^6$ CFU/ml streptococcus thermophilus and 5ppm Trimethoprim to enhance the sensitivity for sulfonamides The results of TCC reduction test by disc plate method were summarized as follows : 1. sensitivity to residual sulfonamides were much higher than official TCC reduction test. Detectable limites of sulfamethazine, sulfamerazine, sulfathiazole, sulfachloropy-ridazine, sulfadimethoxine, sulfamononethoxine, sulfadiazine and sulfaquinoxaline were 0.1-0.5ppm levels. 2. Detectable limites to some antibiotics were simillar or good than that of official method as 0.005-0.1ppm to three ${\beta}$ -lactams, 0.25-0.5ppm to one macrolide, 2-10ppm to three aminoglycosides, 0.2-0.5ppm to three tetracycline, 0.1-0.5ppm to chloramphenicol. 3. Only 0.1ml of milk was needed to test and the test medium could be stored appnoximatly 7days in the refrigerator. So test procedure was convenient than offcial method. 4. These results suggest that disc plate method is more useful to detect bacterial growth inhibition substances including sulfonamides in raw milk.

Five hunderds and thirty four samples collected from some farms in Daejeon area were used to determine the antibiotic resideus in milk by T.T.C. test. The results were summerized as follows: 1) Among 250 random samples tested for one month, positives were 18.4% and suspects 21.2%. Another 122 sampls were divide into 3 groups with interval of 3 days, and 23% of positives and 36% of suspects were found. 2) From individual test of 162 samples from farms which produced positive milk, 5% of positives and 2% of suspects were appeared. Of the mixed milk 59% of them was found positive or suspect. 3) In order to protect antibiotic residues in marketing milk, milk must be tested with interval of 3 days. And if cows were treated with mastitis drug, it will be better to use the drug with food blue and not to be sold the milk up to 3 days or more after the treatment.

The disappearance of seaweed flora in some rocky areas, which is known as algal whitening, barren ground, coralline flats, or deforested areas, is associated with some species of coralline algae. To determine the biological characteristics of a representative species of crustose coralline alga, the 18S rDNA gene was sequenced to identify the genus Lithophyllum. According to its morphological and distributional characteristics, it was deduced to be L. yessoense. Viability was measured using triphenyl tetrazolium chloride and showed high viability from December to February. Culture conditions of $16^{\circ}C$, a 16 hr light, 8 hr dark cycle, and 30 ${\mu}E/m^2/s$ light intensity were optimal for maintaining the viability of the alga for up to five days. Included in the fatty acids was 9.7% ${\omega}$-3 eicosapentaenoic acid. An electron microscopy scan of the surface structure revealed round craters about 3.6 ${\mu}m$ in diameter, which were covered with rough, irregular, and angular polygon-shaped structures about 1.0 to 3.7 ${\mu}m$ in size. Based on the composition and structure found in our study, biomimetic coralline alga might become an environmentally friendly antifouling material against the attachment of soft foulants.

A long-term rice paddy field, which is located in the National Institute of Crop Science (Suwon city, Korea) has been managed for studying of fertilization and composting impact on paddy soil fertility since 1954. The objective of this research was to evaluate soil quality through dehydrogenase analysis in long-term paddy soil treatment plots, such as control, N fertilization (N), NPK fertilization (NPK), and rice straw compost with NPK (CNPK). Dehydrogenase-producing bacterial population developing red-colored triphenyl formazan (TPF) was highly correlated to the dehydrogenase activity in rice paddy soils sampled prior to waterlog. The dehydrogenase-producing bacterial population and dehydrogenase activity was comparatively high in plots of NPK, and CNPK, which organic matter content was relatively high.

The growth. freezing resistance and electrophoretic protein patterns of carrot callus cultures were investigated following treatment with NaCl for various' intervals at 20$^{\circ}C$. Following 7 day exposure to 250 mM NaCl. freezing tolerance increased, which was measured by 2.3.5-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) assay and fresh weight was reduced compared to control cells. Changes of electrophoretic patterns of total and boiling stable proteins were investigated using one or two dimensional gel system. Several proteins with molecular weight of 43 and 21 kDa increased by NaCl treatment. The most prominent change was detected in 21 kDa protein. The steady state level of this protein increased in NaCl treated cells, but decreased in control cells. Twenty one kDa protein was detected only in the NaCl treated cell when boiling stable protein was analyzed. The isoelectric point of 21 kDa protein was identified as 5.7. The timing of increase of 21 kDa protein was correlated to freezing resistance which implied the role of this protein in the induction of freezing resistance of the cell.

Introduction: In aged people, stroke incidence is increased. But standardized experimental animal protocol study for the research of stroke therapy is rare. There is little report on the success rate of cerebral artery occlusion model using standardized Nylon thread length of precise thread end-size controlled. Method: In this study, the operator intended the occlusion of middle cerebral artery (MCA) using $0.18{\pm}0.02mm$ end 5-0 Nylon thread. Middle cerebral artery occlusion was induced for 60min under isoflurane anesthesia. After 60min, the operator removed the Nylon thread and reperfusion was induced for 23hrs. The mice was killed 23hrs after reperfusion and infarction area of brain was confirmed by 1.5% TTC (2,3,5-tryphenyl tetrazolium chloride) staining. Results: According to end size and insert length of Nylon thread, Middle cerebral artery occlusion (n=50), internal carotid artery occlusion (n= 14), distal middle cerebral artery occlusion (n= 36), anterior cerebral artery (n= 1) were induced. And no infarction (n= 50) was observed. Conclusion: According to weight of mice, the operator induced reversible cerebral artery occlusion model by different insert length (30.0~36.9g : 9.0mm, 37.0~40.0g : 9.5mm) of Nylon thread. Success of cerebral artery occlusion model was confirmed by checking infarction area using TTC staining. The success rate (66.9%, 101/151) of reversible cerebral artery occlusion model in the mouse and the operational conditions are shown.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate time course of signal enhancement on Gadomer-17 enhance MRI, and to correlate the size of enhanced area with that of the infarct area on 2'3'5'-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride(TTC) histochemical examination for the assessment of myocardial viability in reperfused Myocardial Infarction in a cat model. Tan cats(average weight: 3.8 kg) which had undergone 90 minutes of occlusion of the LAD followed by 90 minutes of reperfusion underwent MR T2-weighted imaging, and T1-weighted imaging, enhanced T1-weighted imaging. We used 1.5T Magneton Vision MRI system(Siemens, Erlangen, Germany). Signal intensities were measured in the enhanced and non-enhanced areas of enhanced T1-weighted imaging. and TTC histochemical staining the size of the abnormal signal area on each image was compared with that of the infarct area. Maximum enhancement was detected during a $40{\sim}60$ minute period with an average enhancement of $168{\pm}9.9%$ of normal myocardium. TTC staining revealed that the size of the high signal area on T2-weighted images and of the enhanced area on enhanced T1-weighted images was greater than that of the infarct area($T2=48.1%{\pm}3.7$, enhanced $T1=47.2%{\pm}2.6$, TTC $staining=38.7%{\pm}3.1$ ; p<0.05). In reperfused Myocardial Infarction in a cat model, enhanced MR imaging delineates reversibly and irreversibly damaged myocardium, with a strong enhancement and a broad temporal window. We may therefore expect that enhanced MR image is useful for demonstrating myocardial injury.
