We used an elcosanoic acid material and the material was very famous as an thin film bio and insulating material. Eicosanoic acid monolayer was deposited by Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique and a subphase was a $CdCl_2$ solution as a $2\times10^{-4}mol/l$. Also, we used a bottom electrode as an $Al/Al_2O_3$ and a top electrode as a Al. When the positive and negative bias applied to the molecular device, the behavior shows that a tunnel switching characteristics. This results were analyzed regarding various mechanisms.

Electron transfer through an Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) monolayer film sandwiched between metal electrodes. We used an eicosanoic acid material and the material was very famous as a thin film insulating material. Eicosanoic acid monolayer was deposited by Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) technique and a subphase was a $CdCl_2$ solution as a 2${\times}10^{-4}$ mol/L. Also we used a bottom electrode as an Al/$Al_2O_3$ and a top electrode as a Al and Ti/Al. Here, the $Al_2O_3$ on the bottom electrode was deposited by thermal evaporation method. The $Al_2O_3$ layer was acted on a tunneling barrier and insulating layer in tunnel diode. It was found that the proper transfer surface pressure for film deposition was 25 mN/m and the limiting area per molecule was about 24 ${\AA}^2$/molecule. When the positive and negative bias applied to the molecular device, the behavior shows that a tunnel switching characteristics. This result were analyzed regarding various mechanisms.

Petal of Azalea(Rhododendron mucronulatum Turcz) was incubated with Gokja at 3$0^{\circ}C$ for seven days and the essential oil components of petal of Azalea before and after incubated were analyzed using a GC/MSD. Ten or more essential oil components including n-heneicosane n-tricosane n-tetreacosane n-pentacosane n-heptacosane n-nonacosane and n-hentriacontane were identified from the petal of Azal-ea before incubated while oxygen-containng compounds including (E)-heptenal 2-ethoxy-1 -hexanol n-hexadecanoic acid methyl ester 9, 12-octadecadienoic acid methyl ester 9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid methyl ester, n-octadecanoic acid methyl ester n-eicosanoic acid methyl ester and 9-docosaenoic acid methyl ester as well as n-alkanes such as n-tricosane that n-pentacosane were identified from the petal of Azalea after incubated. These results suggest that n-alkanes in petal of Azalea might be degraded and some oxygen-containing compounds such as aldehyde, esters and /or acids might be produced when pet-al of Azalea is incubated with Gokja.

The fatty and organic acids, and barbaloin in various parts of aloe species dried at different temperatures were analyzed by GC and HPLC. Seven fatty acids and six organic acids were identified and quantified. In the case of fatty acids, generally, the contents of palmitic and eicosanoic acid were abundants, and compared to the total contents of seven fatty acids, Aloe arborescence variant 1 was abundant, but Aloe saponaria was poor. And six fatty acids were distributed in the aloe species with the exception of linoleic acid. The contents of malic, citric and oxalic acids in the aloe species were higher than those of other acids, and compared to the sum of contents of six organic acids, Aloe saponaria was high, but Aloe arborescence variant 1 was low. Therefore Aloe arborescence variant 1 was abundant in total fatty acids, but poor in total organic acids. The contents of fatty and organic acids in the sample dried at $65^{\circ}C$ and $80^{\circ}C$ air circulation were almost similar. The contents of fatty and organic acids in the freeze-dried samples were lower than in the other dried samples. The contents of barbaloin in Aloe arborescence and A. arborescence variant 1 were higher than those of other various samples, and barbaloin was not detected in Aloe saponaria. As the drying temperature was increased, the contents of barbaloin in the various parts of the Aloe vera decreased.

The current study was designed to assess the effects of emulsified sausage supplemented with ginseng saponin on lipid metabolism by applying a rat model. Four groups of 8 rats (5 wk old) were each allocated one of 4 treatments: basal feed (C), and basal feed with 20% sausage powder containing 0% (S0), 2% (S2) and 4% (S4) ginseng saponin. The experiment was conducted for 4 wk. The results did not differ among the treatments with different amounts of sausage (ST), but daily feed intake (p<0.01) and feed conversion (p<0.001) were significantly increased in STs compared to C. Both total serum cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations were significantly (p<0.001) reduced, by 45 and 46%, and 48 and 46%, in S2 and S4, respectively, compared to S0. In the liver, the total cholesterol level was dramatically (p<0.05) decreased according to increasing sausage powder levels. In particular, S4 showed approximately 14% reduction compared to S0 (p<0.05). Liver triglyceride content also showed a similar tendency, where S2 and S4 resulted in 7% and 31% reduction. With regard to fatty acid composition in the liver tissues, palmitic acid (16:0), oleic acid (18:1), eicosanoic acid (20:1), and eicosatrienoic acid (20:3) did not differ among the STs, whereas both linoleic acid (18:2) (p<0.01) and linolenic acid (18:3) (p<0.001) showed significant increases in S2 compared to S0. The current data demonstrated that emulsified sausages supplemented with ginseng saponin effectively reduce total cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations in the serum and liver, and increase unsaturated and essential fatty acid in the liver. These data collectively imply that the sausage improved the overall lipid profile in a rat model, and can be further generalized to the result that emulsified sausage can improve lipid metabolism depending on the products' formula.

Chemical investigations of the stony coral Alveopora japonica Eguchi (Poritidae) resulted in the isolation of four known compounds (1 - 4). The structures of 1 - 4 were identified as a sterol, ergosta-5,24(28)-dien-$3{\beta}$-ol (1), a mixture of monoacyl glycrols (2), eicosanoic acid and tetracosanoic acid, and two nucleosides, thymine (3) and 2'-deoxythymidine (4), respectively, on the basis of spectroscopic and physicochemical analyses including 1D- and 2D- NMR techniques as well as by comparison of their data with the published values. Compounds 1 - 4 were isolated from this species for the first time. Moreover, these compounds (1 - 4) were found in the genus Alveopora and the family Poritidae for the first time.
