Since Non-Extraction treatment in some orthodontic case shows unstable result and unfavorable profile, extraction is selected as inevitable treatment option for the harmonious profile, facial skeleton, and the stable dentition on both arches. For the achievement of proper goal, premolars, molars, sometimes incisors or canines are selected to be extracted. The first Premolar is usually extracted for relieving the crowded dentition with which the molar relations are class I to gain stable dentition and proper profile, but often results in the depression of profile or the loss of vortical dimension. On the contrary, the extracton of the second molar helps maintaining the fullness of profile and the vertical dimension, prevents additional space closural procedures which often make the procedures complicated, relieves both anterior and posterior crowding, and substitutes the extraction fossae for newly erupting 3rd molars. From the point of recurrence, the second molar extraction procedure, therefore, is more beneficial. This cases showed the good results of second molar extraction procedures in the patients with class I crowding.

The order of Rhododendro-Quercetalia mongolicae representing temperate oak forests in Korea was characterized in terms of presence of taxa of different rank. 140 releves were analysed for percentage contribution of each species, genera and families in syntaxa under consideration as well as extracton of diagnostic genera and families for syntaxa by an ordination technique. The Rhododendro-Quercetalia is characterized by high diversity of tree and shrub species contributing 40% of the total floristic composition as well as by a high contribution of the genus Rhododendron and the absence of the genus Fagus, characteristic of the QuercoFagetea sensu lato. The character families for the Rhododendron and Quercus include Liliaceae and Compositae, whereas Acer, Carex, Viola, Rhododendron and Quercus are the most common among genera. Rhododendron and Quercus are regarded as the transgressive cheractergenera, whereas the families of Pinaceae and Ericaceae are considered companions (in sense of the terminology of the Braun-Blanquet syntaxonomy) for the order. Family appeared to be an inadequate rank for diagnoses of alliances and suballiances. On the other hand, genus was found to be the most effective rank in differentiating the alliances and suballiances. The Lindero-Quercenion shares the same character-genera with the order Rhododendro-Quercetalia. Character genera of the suballiances Callicarpo-quercenion are Carpinus, Styrax, Smilax and Callicarpa, and those of the Pino-Quercion list Euonymus, Saussurea and Tilia.

The purposes of this study were to investigate the effects of bamboo (SasacoreanaNakai)extracton chemical characteristics and biological activities. pH ranges of bamboo extract using water and ethanol were between 5.2 and 6.1. The concentration of total phenol compounds using ethanol extract was 0.51%, which was about 2.0 fold higher than that of water extract. The mineral concentrations were order of K, Mg, Ca, and Na, respectively. The nitrite scavenging ratio of bamboo extract using ethanol was 20.4% in vitro. In the case of bamboo extract using water, it was 18.0%. Especially, the maximum nitrite scavenging ratio was obtained at pH 1.5. On the other hand, when pH was increased from 3.0 to 6.0, the nitrite scavenging ratio was decreased from 16.2% to 3.0%. The antioxidant activity of bamboo extract in vitro was increased from 100 to 160% when bamboo extract using ethanol was increased from 10 to $50{\mu}L$. These results suggest that the bamboo extract of Sasa coreana Nakai using ethanol can be used in bioactive and functional material.

Objectives Cigarette smoking had been recorded as the main cause of impaired endothelium-dependent vasodilation in smokers by reducing nitric oxide (NO), a production of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). However, the mechanism of NO impairment via eNOS activity is unclear until now. In this study, cell passage is suggested to be a relevant factor to eNOS expression under cigarette smoking stress. Methods Bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAECs) were chosen as the research subject with passages ranking from 6 to 9 (6P to 9P). After exposure of cigarette smoking extract (CSE) solution, MTT assay and Western blot method were performed to check the cell viability as well as eNOS protein concentration. In these experiments, four concentrations of CSE at 0.5, 1, 2, and 4% were selected for treatment. Results Our results showed that cells almost died at 4% of CSE. Besides, eNOS protein mass had a linear decrease under the increase of CSE concentration. In addition, the effect of CSE on eNOS expression was dissimilar between different passages. Conclusions This study indicated that CSE had effect on both cell viability and eNOS expression. Besides, a reduction in protein mass was matched with the decrease of cell viability due to CSE tress. Last but not least, the response of eNOS protein to different concentration of CSE at different passages was disparate, making the hypothesis about cell passage related inhibition of eNOS caused by CSE solution.

To extract insoluble proteins from abolished soybean meal, the meal was treatesd with phytase and protease produced by Aspergillus sp. SM-15 and Aspergillus sp. MS-18. The extraction of insoluble soybean protein was increased at alkaline range more than pH 5 in case of phytase, pH 7 to 11 in case of protease and pH 5 to 12 in case of the mixed enzyme of phytase and protease. The optimum extraction temperature of insoluble protein was 5$0^{\circ}C$ for phytase and the mixed enzyme of phytase and protease, and 6$0^{\circ}C$ for protease. The optimum treatment time for extraction of protein was 9 hrs for phytase, 11 hrs for protease and the mixed enzyme of phytase and protease and optimum unit of enzyme for extraction of protein was 600 unit, 40 unit and 900 unit＋60 unit in case of phytase, protease, phytase and protease, respectively. The treatment of mixed enzyme showed higher extracton rate of protein than single enzyme treatment. The foaming capacity, foaming stability, emulsion capacity, and emulsion stability of soybean meal protein by the treatment of the enzymes increased at all pH range. Further more oil absorption as well as water absorption capacities by the treatment of the enzymes were also increased. The functional properteis of the soybean meal protein treated by the mixed enzyme were higher than those of soybean meal protein treated by the single enzyme.

Hepatoprotective and antioxidant activities of Acer mono and A. okamotoanum were compared after being extracted by low temperature and high pressure (LTHP) at 20 MPa and $60^{\circ}C$ for 15 minutes. Extraction yield of both A. mono and A. okamotoanum was increased about 40~43% by this extraction process. On scavenging activities, the bark of A. okamotoanum from this extraction process showed the highest activity as about 97%. This value was higher than that from conventional water extraction and A. mono extracts. Both of A. mono and A. okamotoanum showed high ability on nitrite scavenging, but decreasing tendency according to increasing of pH. On SOD-like test, A. okamotoanum had the highest activity as 46.28% at $1.0\;mg/m{\ell}$ concentration. A. okamotoanum extracted by LTHP also showed the highest activity as 197.38% in adding $1.0\;mg/m{\ell}$ concentration. Generally, the extracts from low temperature and high pressure extraction process are higher hepatoprotective and antioxidant activities than that from conventional water extraction. It can conclude that the bark of A. okamotoanum has better biological activities than other parts of A. mono.

The green marine algae, Capsosiphon fulvescens (CF) is a food supplement cultivated in south coast of Southern Korea. The purpose of this study was to investigate the mechanism of CF-induced hypopigmentation. The present study was designed to determine the effect of CF extracton melanogenesis in B16 cells, particularly its specific effects on tyrosinase and tyrosinase-related protein 2 (TRP-2). We measured melanin contents and analyzed melanosome associated protein levels using Western blot and Reverse transcription-polymerase chian reaction (RT-PCR) analysis. CF extract markedly inhibited melanin synthesis and tyrosinase activity. In addition, cellular dendricity was slightly decreased by CF extract. In further experiments, CF extract significantly reduced the protein levels of tyrosinase and TRP-2 in B16 cells. RT-PCR analysis revealed that tyrosinase and TRP-2 mRNA levels were unaffected by CF treatment. Therefore, these results suggest that hypopigmentary effect of CF was due to post-translational degradationof tyrosinase and TRP-2.

This study was conducted to investigate of Mori Folium Water Extract (MF) on anti-inflammation activity. MF Water extracts after 24 houres cultivation were examined to ascertain the cell viability of mouse macrophage RAW 264.7 cells. The influence of the Water extracts in RAW 264.7 macrophage cells treated with LPS was investigated. nitric oxide (NO) production, nterleukin$(IL)-1{\alpha}$ IL-6 and IL-10 increased generation of cytokines. mouse macrophage RAW 264.7 cells cell viability changes were no decreas after MTT assay of MF Water extract. The MF water extracts inhibited NO generation caused by LPS in the macrophages over $25{\mu}g/mL$. The MF water extracts increased in the control group the $IL-1{\alpha}$ and IL-6 activation generated by LPS in the macrophages over $50{\mu}g/mL$. Accordingly, it was found that different MF water extract concentrations significantly influenced certain anti-inflammation activities in RAW 264.7 macrophage cells. The results of this study are expected to be highly applicable to health - friendly functional materials. Further studies are needed to confirm the signaling pathways associated with anti-inflammation of macrophages through continuous studies.
