The purpose of this experiment was to measure the leaking and solubility of commonly used dental restorative materials - Silux plus (CS), Hi-pol (CH), Clearfil F-II, Fissureseal (FS), Glass-Ionomer cement Fuji Type II (GI), Amalgam Cavex 68 (AM), Zinc Phosphate Cement (ZP) and gutta-percha (GP) and investigate the relation between the solubility and marginal leakage. Disc-shape specimens were fabricated with each material and dipped into deionized water, 0.01M lactic acid and 0.005M KOH solution, thus the total ionic concentrations in each solution was measured with ion chromatograph after 1, 3, and 7 days, respectively. For the solubility test, each specimen was immersed in 0.001M and 0.01M lactic acid for 24 hours, respectively and total weight loss was calculated. Also, Zn leaking through the margin of restorations was measured. The obtained results were as follows: 1. The amounts of eluted ion from the eight materials were most in 0.01M lactic acid and least in deionized water. 2. Of the eight materials, the fluoride release was greatest for glass ionomer cement (GI) in 0.01 M lactic acid after 7 days. 3. In analysis of the divalent cation, Mg was eluted most for zinc phosphate cement (ZP) and Ca for Clearfil F-II (CF) in 0.01M lactic acid after 7 days. 4. In analysis of transition metals, Cu and Zn were detected only. 5. The solubility rate of eight materials was greater in 0.01M lactic acid than in 0.001M for 24 hours, for zinc phosphate cement (ZP) the rate was greatest (5.4%) in 0.001M lactic acid, and amalgam least (0.01%). 6. The Zn concentration of restorative material with Z.P.C base was greater in 0.01M lactic acid than in 0.001M lactic acid.

The content of Ca in milk exceeds the typical saturation level of Ca salts, which is necessary for neonate growth. This calcium is distributed between the casein micelles in the colloidal and aqueous phases. Information on the properties of calcium activity in the aqueous phase is limited compared with that on the properties of bound or sequestrated calcium. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the changes in calcium activity in fresh milk using an ion-selective electrode and to assess the relationship between calcium activity and milk production in hot season. Milk samples collected from 10 cows at the National Agricultural Research Center for Kyushu Okinawa Region in June to October (Min-Max: 7.2-$35.2^{\circ}C$, 24.3-100% RH) were analyzed on total calcium concentrations and calcium activity. We observed that the rectal temperature of the cows increased according to elevation of ambient temperature but that the pH of the collected milk ($6.61{\pm}0.01$ (Mean${\pm}$SEM)) was not significantly influenced by rectal and ambient temperature. Total calcium concentrations and calcium activity in fresh milk decreased in July (Min-Max: 21.1-$33.5^{\circ}C$, 48.9-100.0% RH) compared with the values after August (Min-Max: 18.1-$35.0^{\circ}C$, 26.5-96.2% RH) (p<0.05); however, there was no significant correlation between the two parameters. The ratio of calcium activity to total calcium concentration decreased after August compared with the values in June and July (p<0.05). The calcium activity in fresh milk was positively correlated with milk yield (r = 0.45, p<0.01) and negatively correlated with milk lactose content (r = -0.53, p<0.01). These results suggest that the calcium activity in milk could be affected by ambient temperature and might be associated with milking production in hot season.

수중 부유입자의 효과적인 제거 방안을 모색하고자 $CaCO_3$로 구성된 부유물의 계면화학적 특성을 고찰하였다. pH에 따른 전기영동도 측정에서는 수중 $OH^-$의 작용으로 pH가 상승함에 따라 electrokinetic potential은 음의 방향으로 변환하는 것으로 나타났다. 계면활성제는 부유물의 안정성에 영향을 끼치는 바, 계면활성제의 농도 및 전하에 따라 영향을 미치는 양상이 다르게 나타났다. 무기응집제의 경우에 있어서도 그 전하가 및 농도에 따라 부유물의 계면화학적 거동이 달라졌으며 이는 DLVO 이론에 의거하여 작성된 potential energy의 변화추이와 관련하여 이론적으로 해석될 수 있었다. Non-specific adsorption은 전기이중층의 압축을 초래하여 electrokinetic potential의 절대값 감소를 야기시켰으며 specific adsorption은 부유입자의 IEP 및 PZC가 상호 반대방향으로 이동하는 결과를 나타내었다.

목재 저장소의 토양에서 분리된 호열성 세균인 Paenibacillus sp. DG-22로부터 xylanase를 생산하기 위한 배양조건을 최적화시키기 위해 연구를 수행하였다. Xylanase생산은 세포의 생장과 연관된 양상을 나타내었다. Xylanase 활성은 배양상청액에서만 발견된 반면 $\beta-xylosidase$활성은 주로 세포와 결합되어 있었다. Xylanase활성의 형성은 자일란에 의해 유도되었고 포도당과 자일로스에 의해서 억제되었다. 여러 상업적 자일란을 이용하여 xylanase의 생산양상을 조사한 결과 0.1-0.5%의 birchwood xylan에서 가장 높은 생산율을 나타내었다. 조사된 여러 질소 원들 중 효모추출물이 xylanase생산을 위하여 최적이었다. xylanase의 활성은 $Co^{2+},\; Cu^{2+},\; Fe^{3+},\; Hg^{2+}\;$ 와$\; Mn^{2+}$ 이온들에 의하여 억제된 반면 $Ca^{2+},\; Mg^{2+},\; Ni^{2+},\; Zn^{2+}$ 이온들과 DTT에 의해서는 촉진되었다. 수은은 5 mM의 농도에서 xylanase 활성을 완전히 파괴하였다. 자일란 가수분해의 주된 산물은 자일로바이오스, 자일로트라이오스 그리고 자일로 올리고당이었고 이것은 이 효소가 endoxylanase라는 것을 나타낸다.

Two simple, rapid and sensitive spectrophotometric methods for the determination of three fluoroquinolones, namely levofloxacin, norfloxacin and ciprofloxacin have been performed either in pure form or in their tablets. In the first method, levofloxacin and norfloxacin are directly treated with bromocresol green (BCG) in dichloromethane while ciprofloxacin is allowed to react with the same dye in aqueous acidic buffer. Highly yellow colored complex species were formed instantaneously in case of levofloxacin and norfloxacin or after extraction into dichloromethane for ciprofloxacin. The formed complexes are quantified spectrophotometrically at their absorption maxima at 411 nm for levofloxacin and 412 nm for norfloxacin and ciprofloxacin. The second method involves the reaction of levofloxacin with ${\rho}$-chloranilic acid ( ${\rho}$-CA) and norfloxacin with tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) in acetonitrile to give complexes with maximum absorbance at 521 and 333 nm for the two drugs, respectively. Adopting the first procedure, calibration graphs were linear over the range 1- 20 ${\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$ with mean percentage recoveries of 100.41 ${\pm}$ 0.72, 99.99 ${\pm}$ 0.54 and 100.23 ${\pm}$ 0.91 for the theree drugs, respectively. For the second procedure, the concentration ranges were 15-250 ${\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$ for levofloxacin using ${\rho}$-CA and 0.8-16 ${\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$ for norfloxacin using TCNE with mean percentage recoveries of 99.88 ${\pm}$ 0.45 and 100.26 ${\pm}$ 0.68 for the two drugs, respectively. The proposed methods were successfully applied to determine these drugs in their tablet formulations and the results compared favorably to that of reference methods. The proposed methods are recommended for quality control and routine analysis.

Atmospheric particulate matters were collected by 8-stage non viable cascade impactor from October 2002 to August at Jeju City. Eight water-soluble ionic components $(Na^+,\;NH_{4}_{+},\;K^+,\;Ca{2+},\;Mg^{2+},\;CI^-,\;NO_{3}^-\;and\;SO_{4}^{2-})$ were analyzed by Ion Chromatography. The concentration of particulate matters and eight water-soluble ionic components were determined to investigate their size distributions. Particulate matters exhibited a tri-modal distribution with peak value around $0.9,\;4.0{\mu}m\;and\;9.5{\mu}m.$ In summer, the last peak value was lower than other season values likely due to particulate matter scavenged by rain water. Four ionic components $(Na^+,\;Ca^{2+},\;Mg^{2+}\;and\;CI^-)$ exhibited a bi-modal distribution in the coarse mode whereas three ionic components $(NH_{4}^+,\;K^+\;and\;SO_{4}^{2-})$ in the fine mode, with maximum peak value around $0.9{\mu}m.\;NO_{3}^-$ was found in both the coarse and the fine mode. The enrichment factor (E.F.) of each ionic components was calculated. Based upon E.F., it is considered that $Na^+,\;CI^-,\;and\;K^+$ in coarse paricle mode were delivered form oceanic source, but other components might have other source origins.

This study is mainly focused on micellar effect of tetradecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide(TTABr) solution including alkylbenzimidazole(R-BI) on dephosphorylation of diphenyl-4-nitrophenylphosphinate(DPNPIN) in carbonate buffer(pH 10.7). Dephosphorylation of DPNPIN is accelerated by $BI^{\Theta}$ ion in $10^2$ M Carbonate buffer(pH 10.7) of $4{\times}10^{-4}$ M TTABr solution up to 80 times as compared with the reaction in Carbonate buffer by no benzimidazole(BI) solution of TTABr. The value of pseudo first order rate constant($k_{\psi}$) of the reaction in TTABr solution reached a maximum rate constant increasing micelle concentration. The reaction mediated by $R-BI^{\Theta}$ in micellar solutions are obviously slower than those by $BI^{\Theta}$, and the reaction rate were decreased with increase of lengths of alkyl groups. It seems due to steric effect of alkyl groups of $R-BI^{\Theta}$ in Stern layer of micellar solution. The surfactant reagent, TTABr, strongly catalyzes the reaction of DPNPIN with R-BI and its anion($R-BI^{\Theta}$) in Carbonate buffer(pH 10.7). For example, $4{\times}10^{-4}$ M TTABr in $1{\times}10^{-4}$ M BI solution increase the rate constant($k_{\psi}=99.7{\times}10^{-4}1/sec$) of the dephosphorylation by a factor ca. 28, when compared with reaction($k_{\psi}=3.5{\times}10^{-4}1/sec$) in BI solution(without TTABr). And no TTABr solution, in BI solution increase the rate constant($k_{\psi}=3.5{\times}10^{-4}1/sec$) of the dephosphorylation by a factor ca. 39, when compared with reaction ($k_{\psi}=1.0{\times}10^{-5}1/sec$) in water solution(without BI).

카올리나이트에 의한 세슘-137 및 스트론튬-90 흡착에 대한 지하수의 주요 양이온 ($Ca^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, $K^+$, $Na^+$ 및 음이온 ($SO_4{^{2-}}$, $HCO_3{^-}$)의 영향을 그리고 pH의 영향을 뱃치실험을 통하여 알아보았다. 세슘 및 스트론튬 흡착에 대한 지하수 양이온들의 농도, 전하, 이온반경사이의 상대적인 영향을 알아보기 위하여 통계적 방법으로 디자인된 3차원적인 Kd 모델링 방법이 시도되었다. 모델링결과 흡착에 미치는 정도는 양이온의 수화반경이 가장 큰 영향을 미치며, 그다음 이온들의 전하, 농도의 순서임이 밝혀졌다. pH변화에 따른 카올리나이트의 제타전위를 측정하고 amphoteric 반응측면에서 Cs, Sr 흡착 특성을 설명하였다. 카올리나이트의 Cs 및 Sr 흡착에 대한 경쟁양이온들의 이온강도가 pH 보다는 더 큰 영향을 미친다. 탄산수소이온의 농도는 스트론튬의 흡착거동에 상당한 영향을 미친다. 이는 탄산수소이온 ($HCO_3{^-}$)의 농도변화에 다른 pH의 변화에 기인하는 것 뿐만아니라, WATWQ4F 프로그램을 이용한 열역학적 계산에 의하면 Strontianite ($SrCO_3$)의 침전에 의한 것으로 해석된다.

The objective of this study was to investigate antioxidant activities of freeze-dried, main root, and fine root of ginseng (Panax ginseng CA. Meyer), which were extracted with various solvents including ethanol, methanol, and water. Ethanol extracts in both parts showed the most powerful scavenging activities against DPPH radicals. Especially, ethanol extract of fine root had higher reducing power and antioxidant capacity than that of main root. The highest antioxidant activity in linoleic acid emulsion system was also observed in fine root extracted with ethanol, followed by methanol and water. Both ferrous ion chelating activity and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) of extracts were increased with the increase of extracts concentration. These results suggest that ethanol extract of fine root of ginseng has the most effective antioxidant capacity compared to the methanol and water extracts tested in the present study. Thus it can be applied for the effective extraction of functional material from ginseng for the usage of pharmaceutical and/or food industries.

The intracellular alginase from Vibrio sp. AL-145 was purified by ion chromatography on DEAE-Cellulose column, Q-Sepharose column, and gel filtration on Sephadex G-100 column. The optimum pH and temperature for the activity of the purified intracellular enzyme were 8.0 and 37$\circ$C, respectively. The enzyme was stable at the pH range of 7.5-8.5, and at 30$\circ$C for 30 min. The molecular weight of the intracellular enzyme was estimated to be about 23, 000 daltons by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. NaCl was required for enzyme activity and the optimum concentration was 0.5 M. The activity of intracellular enzyme was inhibited by Co$^{2+}$, Hg$^{2+}$, Zn$^{2+}$, 0-phenanthroline, $\rho$-CMB, EDTA and iodoacetate, and stimulated by Ca$^{2+}$, L-cysteine and 2-mercaptoethanol. This enzyme was an alginase specifically degrading alginic acid.
