L/C transaction, the most important issue for the seller and the buyer is the theory of documentary transaction and the theory of strict compliance which are the principles of L/C transactions. According to the leading cases in England and America where the practice of L/C transactions was created and developed, the descriptions of the commodities specified on all the documents which are submitted based on an L/C, should be identical to the descriptions of commodities specified in the L/C. And further, many leading cases of L/C continuously repeat to emphasize strict compliance. However, the recent leading cases in and out of the country show that the principle of strict compliance is being weakened. The leading cases in America show two trends of weakening the principle of strict compliance. That is, on the contrary to strict compliance, tends to apply substantial compliance (which puts more value on the substance of the documents). These leading cases reflect the attitudes of the judicial and the legislative authorization that don't want to approve formal approach to the commercial law. Recently, the Supreme Court of Korea is giving a decision on the principle of strict compliance, "The documents attached to an L/C should strictly comply with the conditions in the L/C, but it doesn't mean that they should be perfectly identical without any mistake in words. In case the bank can understand through reasonable care that a small mistake in words is too trivial to give different meaning or to give damage to the conditions of the L/C, the documents are regarded to comply with the conditions of the L/C. However, the judgment should be based on whether the difference between the documents and the L/C can be admitted by the international standard bank transaction practice or not." This decision tells that the principle of strict compliance is quite much modified so application of this modification can't be ignored. However, from the viewpoint of the party who requests to open an L/C, there is a criticism that a bank's arbitrary judgement can be involved. Therefore, reviewing the original purpose of L/C transactions (activating international transactions), the principle of strict compliance may be thought old-fashioned because it emphasizes a form, but in reality, for prompt transaction and payment, the principle of strict compliance should be observed in L/C transactions. And further, if a legislative device is prepared to systematically compensate for several side-effects, the principle of strict compliance will improve dynamic flow of prompt and low-costly L/C transactions. On the other hand, it will be able to protect the interested parties.

결과 및 고찰: 이 약의 흰쥐에서의 체내동태는 혈중농도로 볼 때 2-exponential pharmacokinetics에 따르고, HPLC법으로 정량한 경우의 $T_1$/$_2$$\alpha$, $T_1$/$_2$$\beta$, AUC, C $L_{T}$, C $L_{R}$, V $D_{SS}$ 는 각각 1.90min, 21.89min, 1899.36$\mu\textrm{g}$ㆍmin/ml, 10.66ml/min/kg, 7.48ml/min/kg, 0.28l/kg으로 bioassay법과는 약간의 차이를 보였다. 분포특성은 간장과 신장에 많이 이행하였으며, 폐로의 이행도 적지만 관찰되었다. 이 약의 단백결합률은 그 농도가 31.3$\mu$M일 때 42.3%였고 water/n-octanol계에서의 유상으로의 분배는 거의 일어나지 않았다. 이 약의 분포용적이 작은 것은 단백결합 때문이라기보다는 높은 극성때문으로 추정되었다. 이 약의 C $L_{R}$은 GFR의 문헌치보다 컸으며 C $L_{T}$의 약 2/3을 차지하므로 약물소실에 있어서 신장의 기여도가 크고 신배설 과정에 신분비가 관여하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이런 사실은 CAZ나 CTX등의 기존 세파계 항생제들과 유사했으며, 추후 다회투여시와 용량의존적 체내동태에 관해 더 많은 연구가 필요하리라 생각되었다.되었다.

Temperature-dependent pharmacokinetics of ciprofloxacin (CIP) was studied in the cultured olive flounders, Paralichthys olivaceus, and black rockfish, Sebastes schlegeli using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) originally developed for quinolone determination from livestock. Pharmacokinetics of CIP was apparently affected by ambient water temperature. In a two-compartment model for flounders after oral dosage of 20 mg/kg, $K_{01},\;at\;13^{\circ}C$ and $23^{\circ}C$ were 4.18 and 1.20/hr, respectively. The $K_{10},\;T_{max}\;and\;C_{max}\;at\;13^{\circ}C$ were 5.574/hr, l4.37${\mu}g/mL\;and\;3.15{\mu}g/mL,$ respectively. The corresponding values at $23^{\circ}C$ were l2.84/hr, 15.39${\mu}g/mL\;and\;6.38{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. The AUC, $T_{1/2} (\alpha)\;and\;T_{1/2}\;(\beta)$ were 278.23 ${\mu}g \cdot hr/mL$, 0.24hr and 47.02hr at $13^{\circ}C$ and 3l7.8l${\mu}g \cdot hr/mL$, 0.30 hrs and 60.78hrs at $23^{\circ}C$ for the flounder, respectively. Similar CIP pharmacokinetics were revealed in the black rockfish after oral dosage of 20 mg/kg under the two water temperature regimes. These pharmacokinetical results have some implication in the optimal usage of recently introduced antibacterials in the farmed fish, which were primarily adapted for poultry and mammalian species.

A good amount of work has been done on degree of approximation of functions belonging to Lip${\alpha}$, Lip($\xi$(t),r) and W($L_r,\xi(t)$) and classes using Ces$\`{a}$ro, N$\"{o}$rlund and generalised N$\"{o}$rlund single summability methods by a number of researchers ([1], [10], [8], [6], [7], [2], [3], [4], [9]). But till now, nothing seems to have been done so far to obtain the degree of approximation of functions using (N,$p_n$)(C, 1) product summability method. Therefore the purpose of present paper is to establish two quite new theorems on degree of approximation of function $f\;\in\;Lip({\alpha},r)$ class and $f\;\in\;W(L_r,\;\xi(t))$ class by (N, $p_n$)(C, 1) product summability means of its Fourier series.

Water-soluble fraction (WSF) from edible mushroom hinmogi (Tremella fuciformis) were obtained by water extraction, and polysaccharides in the WSF were separated by ethanol precipitation. The inhibitory effects of the polysaccharides on 3T3-L1 adipocyte differentiation were evaluated by the reduction of peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor ${\gamma}$ ($PPAR{\gamma}$) translation, triglyceride accumulation, Oil Red-O staining, and expression levels of $PPAR{\gamma}$, CCAAT/enhancer binding protein a (C/$EBP{\alpha}$), and leptin. The $PPAR{\gamma}$ translation in 3T3-L1 cells was inhibited by the treatment with polysaccharide precipitated by 80% ethanol (P80) which showed highest inhibitory activity among polysaccharides tested. In addition, treatment of P80 to 3T3-L1 cells significantly inhibited the triglyceride accumulation, Oil Red-O staining, and mRNA expression of $PPAR{\gamma}$, C/$EBP{\alpha}$, and leptin in a dose-dependent manner. Based upon these results, P80 from edible mushroom hinmogi shows the inhibitory activity on the differentiation of 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Therefore, it might be employed as a potential anti-obesity material.

The bacterial strain was isolated from the 4th day's fermented Dolsan Leaf Mustard Kimchi(DLMK) at $20^{\circ}C$/TEX>. It was used as Kimchi starter, and then its physiological activity was investigated for 50 days at $4^{\circ}C$/TEX> and $10^{\circ}C$/TEX> The physiological activity of DLMK was examined for both antioxidative and Angiotensine Converting Enzyme(ACE) inhibitory activity. In the starter-inoculated DLMK(1 X $10^{10}$ CFU/mL) at 4 and $10^{\circ}C$, the optimal ripening period was more shortend than that of control(without starter) up to about 5.6 and 5 times, respectively. The maximal antioxidative activity in the starter-inoculated DLMK(1 X $10^{10}$ 10 CFU/mL) at 4 and $10^{\circ}C$ were 67% and 75%, respectively. The yield of cell concentration per day($lnX_{max}$/$t_{max}$) and the yield of antioxidative activity per day($P_{max}$/ｔ$t_{max}$) had a linear relationship. Also, the yield of antioxidative activity per day was increased with increasing the concentration of inoculated bacterium. By adding 1 X $10^{10}$ CFU/mL at 4 and $10^{\circ}C$, the ACE inhibitory activity of DLMK was maximal. The rates of inhibiting activities were 52% and 76%, respectively. Consequently, physiological activities were significantly affected by the inoculation concentrations of starter, but bacterium itself was not appeared the physiological activity. We assume that the bacterium metabolizes certain materials in DLMK and released compounds such as glucosinolates or its metabolized forms from DLMK show the antioxidative and ACE inhibitory activity.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of Salvia plebeia R. Br. ethanolic extract with different aspects (stem/leaf and whole plant) on differentiation and lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. The morphological changes and the degrees of lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 cells were measured by Oil Red O staining and intra-cellular triglyceride (TG) assay. The mRNA expressions of special peroxisome proliferation activated receptor- genes (PPAR), CCAAT/ enhancer-binding protein (C/$EBP{\alpha}$), fatty acid synthase (FAS) and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) were detected by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The 50% ethanolic extracts ($100{\mu}g/mL$) of stem and leaf (SALE) and 30% ethanolic extracts (100 g/mL) of whole plant (SAE) from Salvia plebeia R. Br. were significantly attenuated lipid accumulation during adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 cells. Ethyl acetate-soluble fractions ($50{\mu}g/mL$) significantly inhibited lipid droplet accumulation in 3T3-L1 cells. In addition, SALE induced down-regulation of specific adipogenic transcriptional factors (C/$EBP{\alpha}$ and $PPAR{\gamma}$) and target genes (FAS and LPL) during adipogenesis. Salvia plebeia R. Br. may be used as a safe and efficient natural substance to manage obesity.

In this study, iron (Fe) impregnated granular activated carbon (Fe-GAC) has been synthesized and characterized for various properties. Comparative studies have been performed for use of Fe-GAC as an adsorbent as well as a catalyst during catalytic oxidation of hydroquinone (HQ). In the batch adsorption study, effect of process parameter like initial HQ concentration ($C_o=25-1,000mg/L$), pH (2-10), contact time (t: 0-24 h), temperature (T: $15-45^{\circ}C$) and adsorbent dose (w: 5-50 g/L) have been studied. Maximum HQ adsorption efficiency of 75% was obtained at optimum parametric condition of: pH = 4, w = 40 g/L and t = 14 h. Pseudo-second order model best-fitted the HQ adsorption kinetics whereas Langmuir model best-represented the isothermal equilibrium behavior. During oxidation studies, effect of various process parameters like initial HQ concentration ($C_o:20-100mg/L$), pH (4-8), oxidant dose ($C_{H2O2}:0.4-1.6mL/L$) and catalyst dose (m: 0.5-1.5 g/L) have been optimized using Taguchi experimental design matrix. Maximum HQ removal efficiency of 83.56% was obtained at optimum condition of $C_o=100mg/L$, pH = 6, $C_{H2O2}=0.4mL/L,$ and m = 1 g/L. Overall use of Fe-GAC during catalytic oxidation seems to be a better as compared to its use an adsorbent for treatment of HQ bearing wastewater.

Obesity is epidemic worldwide and has reportedly been linked to the progression of several metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. The natural products are decreasing the side effects of medicines used for obesity and also have health benefits dut to their numerous bioactive compounds. In this context, Artemisia scoparia is a widespread plant that has been suggested as possessing various types of bioactivity. In this study, the crude extract from A. scoparia (ASE) was tested for its ability to suppress adipogenesis in mouse 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes. The molecular pathway by which ASE affects differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells was also investigated. The introduction of ASE to differentiating 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes resulted in suppressed adipogenesis, as confirmed by decreased intracellular lipid accumulation. The differentiating cells treated with 10 and $100{\mu}g/ml$ of ASE showed 21.9 and 29.0% less lipid accumulation, respectively, than untreated adipocytes. In addition, the results indicated that ASE treatment lowered the expression of the adipogenesis-related factors $PPAR{\gamma}$, $C/EBP{\alpha}$, and SREBP-1c. Furthermore, treating with ASE notably decreased levels of phosphorylated p38, ERK, and JNK in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. These results indicate that ASE exhibits significant anti-adipogenesis activity by downregulating the MAPK and $PPAR{\gamma}$ pathways during the differentiation of 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes. Therefore, A. scoparia may be a potential source of natural products against obesity.

Let $\mathbf{c}=\{c_n\}_{n{\in}\mathbb{Z}}\in{\ell}^1(\mathbb{Z})$ and $\{f_n\}_{n{\in}\mathbb{Z}}$ be a frame (Riesz basis, respectively) of $L^2(\mathbb{R})$. We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions of $\mathbf{c}$ under which $\{\mathbf{c}{\ast}_{\lambda}f_n\}_{n{\in}\mathbb{Z}}$ becomes a frame (Riesz basis, respectively) of $L^2(\mathbb{R})$, where ${\lambda}$ > 0 and $(\mathbf{c}{\ast}_{\lambda}f)(t)\;:=\;{\sum}_{n{\in}\mathbb{Z}}c_nf(t-n{\lambda})$. When $\{\mathbf{c}{\ast}_{\lambda}f_n\}_{n{\in}\mathbb{Z}}$ becomes a frame of $L^2(\mathbb{R})$, we present its frame operator and the canonical dual frame in a simple form. Some interesting examples are included.
