An adult one-year-old male Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber) died of a traumatic injury to its right leg from a fall. At necropsy, fibrinopurulent exudates were observed in the thoracic cavity. Histopathologic examination showed that the pericardium, thoracic wall, pulmonary pleura and the lungs were markedly thickened due to mixtures of necrotic cellular debris, neutrophils, fibrin, red blood cells, and bacterial aggregates. Pure culture of Klebsiella (K.) pneumoniae was isolated from the thoracic exudates, pleura and heart tissues. Based on these findings, this is the first report describing pleuritis and pericarditis associated to K. pneumoniae in a beaver.

Polyethylene glycols (PEGs) are products of condensed ethylene oxide and water that can have various derivatives and functions. Since many PEG types are hydrophilic, they are favorably used as penetration enhancers, especially in topical dermatological preparations. PEGs, together with their typically nonionic derivatives, are broadly utilized in cosmetic products as surfactants, emulsifiers, cleansing agents, humectants, and skin conditioners. The compounds studied in this review include PEG/PPG-17/6 copolymer, PEG-20 glyceryl triisostearate, PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil, and PEG-60 hydrogenated castor oil. Overall, much of the data available in this review are on PEGylated oils (PEG-40 and PEG-60 hydrogenated castor oils), which were recommended as safe for use in cosmetics up to 100% concentration. Currently, PEG-20 glyceryl triisostearate and PEGylated oils are considered safe for cosmetic use according to the results of relevant studies. Additionally, PEG/PPG-17/6 copolymer should be further studied to ensure its safety as a cosmetic ingredient.

New thornless cultivar of castor aralia(Kalopanax septemlobus Koidz.) was developed and selected in Cheongsong, Prov. of GyeongSangbuk-do during the period from 1994 to 1999 by Korea Forest Research Institute(KFRI). The new thornless cultivar, "Cheongsong II" is characterized by a thinner outer-bark and soft, wider leaves, and is particularly characterized by thornless stems. This cultivar has a thinner outer-bark(8.82mm) when compared with thorned type trees(13.95mm). It also has a larger leaves than does thorned type trees. Consequently, the new thornless cultivar, "Cheongsong II" is defined to have thinner bark and longer and wider leaves than do other thorned type trees. thorned type trees.

The effect of lofexidine, clonidine, and other drugs on castor oilinduced diarrhea in rats was investigated. Castor oil was administered orally and drugs were administered intraperitoneally. The results were as follows. 1. Lofexidine(0.1-43{\mu}mol$/kg) blocked dose dependently caster oil-induced diarrhea like clonidine, but its potency was weaker than that of clonidine, 1. Yohimbine (1-10{\mu}mol/kg$) antagonized the antidiarrheal action of lofexidine and clonidine. 3. Prazosin (3-30{\mu}mol/kg$) did not antagonize the antidiarrheal action of lofexidine and clonidine. 4. Metoclopramide, bromocriptine mesylate, and nadolol did not affect antidiarrheal action of lofexidine significantly. 5. Loperamid prolonged the antidiarrheal action of lofexidine.

The reaction conditions optimization, including the temperature of the reaction, amount of catalyst required, and reaction time for the linoleic acids (LAs) and conjugated linoleic acids (CLAs) production by catalytic dehydration of castor oil via saponification was investigated by response surface methodology (RSM). It was confirmed that all three parameters (temperature, time, and amount of catalyst) were influential factors in isolating LAs and CLAs. When the temperature was increased, the iodine value increased, and the reaction time and catalyst amount increased. The optimal reaction conditions were: 240 ℃, 2.2 h reaction time, and 7 wt% catalyst amount. The maximum iodine value reached 156.25 with 91.69% conversion to the essential fatty acids.

BACKGROUND: Castor oil and wormseed extract are important active ingredients for biopesticide, and ricinoleic acid in castor oil and three monoterpenes (ascaridole, carvacrol and p-cymene) in wormseed extract are known bioactive substances. However, their stabilities had not been studied, even though the stability was the core property for estimation of shelf-life of biopesticide. Aimed to investigate the thermal stabilities of the bioactive substances in castor oil and wormseed extracts. METHODS AND RESULTS: The contents of ricinoleic acid and three monoterpenes (ascaridole, carvacrol and p-cymene) were analyzed by gas chromatography (GC). The thermal stabilities of the bioactive substance were measured at $0^{\circ}C$, $23^{\circ}C$, $30^{\circ}C$, $40^{\circ}C$, $45^{\circ}C$ and $54^{\circ}C$ for 84 d. The half-lives of ricinoleic acid in biopesticides was ranged from 28.9 d to 57.8 d at $30^{\circ}C$, and the stability of pure castor oil were located in the range ($t_{1/2}$=46.2d for Indian product and 27.7 d for Korean product) at the same temperature. The half-lives of the total monoterpenes in biopesticides were ranged from 3.9 d to 27.7 d at $30^{\circ}C$. Among the monoterpenes, the stability ascaridole and p-cymene were decreased in acidic condition. All the bioactive substances showed similar stability on the different thermal conditions. CONCLUSION:The half-lives of most bioactive substance from castor oil and wormseed extracts were less than 100 d. To increase the stability of bioactive substance in biopesticide, stabilizing additives like antioxidant and oxygen remover should be considered to extend of the shelf-life.

나노에멀젼이란 20 ~ 200nm 정도의 입자 크기를 갖는 에멀젼으로 투명하거나 반투명한 외관을 가지며, 작은 입자 사이즈로 유효물질의 피부 투과율을 향상시킬 수 있다는 장점이 있어 다양한 분야에서 응용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 오일의 required HLB와 종류가 나노에멀젼 형성에 미치는 영향에 대하여 알아보기 위해 required HLB가 다른 오일 8가지, 종류가 다른 16가지의 오일을 선정하여 연구를 진행하였다. 이때 사용한 계면활성제로는 Polysorbate 60 (HLB 14.9), Sorbitan stearate (HLB 4.7), PEG-60 hydrogenated castor oil (HLB 14.0)이며 Polysorbate 60과 Sorbitan stearate를 혼합하여 HLB 14.0으로 고정한 것과 Polysorbate 60, PEG-60 hydrogenated castor oil을 각각 사용하여 제조하였다. 오일의 종류에 따라 나노에멀젼 형성이 다르게 나타났으며 에스터계 구조를 가지는 오일이 비교적 우수한 나노에멀젼 형성 능력을 보여주었는데, 특히 Cetyl ethylhexanoin이 평균 40nm 이하의 작은 사이즈로 생성된 후 큰 변화없이 안정한 나노에멀젼이 형성된 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, Polysorbate 60과 Sorbitan stearate를 혼합하여 사용하는 것이 PEG-60 hydrogenated castor oil 혹은 Polysorbate 60 각각 단독으로 사용하는 것보다 우수한 나노에멀젼 형성 능력을 가지는 것으로 나타났다.

전분을 이용한 환경친화성 고분자 플라스틱 재료에는 전분충진형, blend형 등이 있으나, 대체로 전분은 보조재료로 사용된다. 이에 반해 extruder를 이용한 전분발포체나 TPS (Thermoplastic starch) 등은 전분을 주재료로 사용하여 플라스틱 재료를 만드는 것이지만, TPS 필름의 Tg가 실온보다 높아 glassy 상태의 brittle한 성질로 인해 물성이 낮으며, 수분 친화적인 성질로 인해 플라스틱 재료로서의 사용이 제한되는 단점이 있다[1,2]. (중략)

본 연구에서는 석유계 폴리올을 대체하기 위하여 식물성 천연유인 피마자유를 개질한 천연유 기반 폴리올(Castor Oil based Polyol, COP)을 사용하여 폴리우레탄 폼을 합성하였다. 접촉각과 표면장력실험을 통해 계면활성제에 따른 석유계 폴리올과 COP와의 상용성을 측정하였다. 최적의 COP 함량과 계면활성제(surfactant)를 찾기 위해 COP 함량을 0 wt%에서 80 wt%까지 변화시키고, 계면활성제 L-580K, DC-5950, BF-2470를 사용하여 폴리우레탄 폼을 합성한 결과 COP의 함량이 30wt%이고 계면활성제로 BF-2470을 사용하였을 때 가장 우수한 기계적 물성을 나타내었다.

This study was performed to identify the effect of Backchulsan and Backpeundu, on the muco-substances of the goblet cells in the small and large intestines of the mouse. After injected castor oil into oral cavity, the experimental animals were administrated with 5.952mg per 30g body weight of Backchulsan, with 0.519mg per 30g body weight of Backpeundu. The specimens used in this study were obtained from the small and large intestines of the mouse. All specimens were stained with periodic acid-Schiff reaction, alcian blue pH 2.5 and alcian blue pH 1.0 procedures. The results were as follows : 1. The most remarkable decrease of neutral and acid mucosubstance was observed in the control group 1 and 6 hours after castor oil administration. 2. Increase of neutral and mucosubstance was observed in Backchulsan administration group 3 hours in comparision with that of control group administrated of castor oil, especially of the upper and lower villi regions. 3. Increase of neutral and acid mucosubstance was observed in Backpeundu administration group 6 hours in comparision with that of control group administration of castor oil. 4. The most remarkable increase of neutral and acid mucosubstance was observed in Backchulsan administration group after 3 hours in comparision with that of Backpeundu administration group.
