In this study, we assessed the effect of vitamin components (such as biotin, thiamine-HCl, and folic acid) on microorganism microbial growth and ethanol production was examined to enhance increase the ethanol concentration in the Clostridium autoethanogenum culture process using syngas as a sole carbon source. Biotin and folic acid concentrations of 0.2, 2, 20, and 100 ㎍/L were used in the culture experiments at 0.2, 2, 20, and 100 ㎍/L concentrations. The maximum ethanol concentrations of 2.81 g/L and 3.12 g/L were obtained by adding at 0.2 ㎍/L biotin and folic acid, respectively. Moreover, Thiaminethiamine--HCl at concentrations of 0.5, 5, 50, and 250 ㎍/L were was examined evaluated to in the culture experiments. The maximum ethanol concentration of 2.84 g/L was observed at 0.5 ㎍/L of thiamine--HCl. As a resultThus, the optimized concentrations of biotin, thiamine--HCl, and folic acid were determined at 0.2, 0.5, and 0.2 ㎍/L, respectively, for enhancing increasing the ethanol production. In conclusion, the maximum ethanol production was obtained by adding the minimal concentration of vitamins in C. autoethanogenum culture.

Cellular effects of ethanol in YD-15 tongue carcinoma cells were assessed by MTT assay, caspase activity assay, Western blotting and flow cytometry. Ethanol inhibited the growth and proliferation of YD-15 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner in an MTT assay. The effects of ethanol on cell cycle control at low percent range of ethanol concentration (0 to 1.5%), the condition not inducing YD-15 cell death, was investigated after exposing cells to alcohol for a certain period of time. Western blotting on the expression of cell cycle inhibitors showed that p21 and p27 was up-regulated as ethanol concentration increases from 0 to 1.5% whilst the cell cycle regulators, cdk1, cdk2, and cdk4 as well as Cyclin A, Cyclin B1 and Cyclin E1, were gradually down-regulated. Flow cytometric analysis of cell cycle distribution revealed that YD-15 cells exposed to 1.5% ethanol for 24 h was mainly arrested at G2/M phase. However, ethanol induced apoptosis in YD-15 cells exposed to 2.5% or higher percent of ethanol. The cleaved PARP, a marker of caspase-3 mediated apoptosis, and the activation of caspase-3 and -7 were detected by caspase activity assay or Western blotting. Our results suggest that ethanol elicits inhibitory effect on the growth and proliferation of YD-15 tongue carcinoma cells by mediating cell cycle arrest at G2/M at low concentration range and ultimately induces apoptosis under the condition of high concentration.

Sulconazole nitrate(SCN), an imidazole derivative which has been effective in the treatment of dermatophytosis, tinea versicolor and candidiasis, was formulated as a gel containing drug, poloxamer 407, ethanol and propylene glycol. The resulting SCN gels were evaluated with respect to their viscosity, drug release rate, skin permeation rate. The apparent viscosity of SCN gel increased in proportion to poloxamer 407, drug and propylene glycol concentration. In case ethanol was added, the apparent viscosity decreased. The drug release rate of SCN gel increased in proportion to temperature and ethanol concentration. But the drug release rate decreased as the concentration of poloxamer 407 increased. The increase of drug concentration induced nonlinear increase of drug release rate. When propylene glycol was added at the level of 10%, the drug release rate increased but from 15% it decreased. The skin permeation rate decreased in high concentration of poloxamer 407. The skin permeation rate of SCN gel containing 15% ethanol increased about twice than that of gel without ethanol. The increase of drug concentration induced nonlinear increase of skin permeation rate. When propylene glycol was added at the level of 10%, the skin permeation rate increased but from 15% it decreased.

This study was designed to examine the effect of estrogen deficiency on the metabolism of ethanol in ovariectomized rats. Female rats were assigned to an ovariectomy (OVX) and a sham (SHAM) surgery group. Gain body weight was greater in incresed in OVX group and especially uterus weight significantly decrease depending on the concentration of estrogen after 3 month of ovariectomy. Ethanol at the tolerative dose (6 g/kg) was injected to rats by oral administration to measure the concentration of ethanol in blood. The area under the blood concentration time curve (AUC) was significantly lower in OVX group than SHAM group. The significant decrease in AUC in OVX group indicates that the estrogen deficiency leads to changes of the factors related to ethanol metabolism. Activity of hepatic alcohol dehydrogenase was not significantly influenced by the ovariectomy and also the ethanol elimination rate in vivo was not different. Cytochrome P450 isozymes did not show any changes except CYP 1A1 and 2E1. Level of hepatic glutathione in OVX group was higher after treatment of ethanol. Therefore the reduction of AUC appears not to be directly associated with the difference of ethanol metabolizing enzyme, but to be related with the physical factors like body weight.

To produce ethanol from Jerusalem artichoke powder efficiently, Kluyveromyces marxianus F043 cells were encapsulated in 2% sodium alginate and were cultured in a countinuous reactor to investigate the fermentation properties. Immobilized K. marxianus F043 cells were activated for 48 hours in a fermentor for continuous ethanol production. The culture in a CSTR using a Jerusalem artichoke substrate treated with 2% cellulase showed a decrease in ethanol concentration and an increase in residual saccharide concentration with a increasing dilution rate. Optimum conditions for high ethanol productivity and low residual saccharide output were clarified to be given at a dilution rate of 0.2 h$^{-1}$ and a Jerusalem artichoke medium concentration of 75 g/l. Ethanol productivity of 3.1 g/l-h and saccharide utilization of 62.6% were obtained under the optimum condition. When the fermentation was performed for 3 weeks under these conditions, the effluent medium showed stable ethanol concentrations of 16.3 - 17.9 g/l and viable cells of 6.60-7.16 log cells/ml without contamination. Trace amounts of methyl, n-propyl, iso-butyl, isoamyl alcohols besides ethanol were detected.

이 연구에서는 합성가스를 유일한 탄소원으로 사용하는 Clostridium autoethanogenum 배양에서 배지 성분 중 금속이온의 농도가 균주 성장과 대사산물 생산에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. C. autoethanogenum 배양에 사용되는 기본 배지구성 성분의 금속이온 종류 중 molybdenum, nickel, cobalt를 조사 대상으로 선정하여 이 성분들의 농도를 달리하였을 때 균주 성장과 에탄올, 아세트산 생산에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다. Molybdenum은 0, 0.001, 0.01, 0.1 g/L농도를 시험하였으며 0.001 g/L에서 에탄올 생산량이 약간 증가하는 경향을 보였지만 시험한 농도 범위 내에서 뚜렷한 영향이 관찰되지 않았다. Nickel은 0, 0.001, 0.01, 0.1 g/L의 농도 범위에서 균주 성장과 에탄올 생산에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였으며, 0.01 g/L 농도에서 에탄올 생산농도가 기본 배지 농도인 0.1 g/L에서보다 26% 증가되는 것을 확인하였다. Cobalt는 0, 0.018, 0.18, 1.8 g/L 농도 범위에서 균주 성장과 에탄올 생산에 미치는 영향을 분석하였으며, 기본 배지 조건인 0.18 g/L의 이상의 농도에서는 균주 성장이 약간 저해되는 현상이 관찰되었다. 결과적으로 연구에 사용된 세 가지 금속이온 성분 중 cobalt는 배지 내 성분 농도에 따른 에탄올 생산농도 향상을 이루지 못하였으나, molybdenum, nickel은 기본 배지 내 일반적인 농도의 1/10을 사용함으로써 에탄올 생산농도 향상을 이룰 수 있었다.

A single large dose of ethanol as well as chronic ethanol consumption produces alcoholic fatty liver in human and experimental animals. We examined the effects of YH439, a potential hepatoprotective agent, on alcoholic fatty liver generation in adult female rats. In rats treated with YH439 (250 mg/kg, po) 4 hr prior to a single dose of ethanol (6 g/kg, po), a significant decrease in hepatic triglyceride accumulation was observed. YH439 also has an inhibitory effect on hepatic triglyceride and cholesterol accumulation induced by repeated ethanol treatments for one week. Because it has been known that induction of alcoholic fatty liver is associated with lipid peroxidation and/or hepatic glutathione depression, the effect of YH439 on these parameters was determined in the livers of rats treated with ethanol. Coadministration with YH439 inhibited MDA formation and gIutathione depression induced by acute or repeated ethanol administration. In order to determine the effect of YH439 on ethanol metabolism in vivo, disappearance of ethanol from blood was measured. In rats treated with a single dose of ethanol (6 g/kg, po), the ethanol concentration in blood reached a peak approximately 120 min following the treatment which declined linearly for 18 hrs. YH439 had no effect on the decline of blood ethanol concentration regardless of the dose of ethanol given to rats. These results in this study suggest that YH439 has an inhibitory effect on fatty liver generation induced by acute or repeated ethanol consumption through a mechanism not directly related to the rate of ethanol metabolism in vivo.
