The most upcoming technical issue of automotive coating is the compact coating process. Pre-primed coating is the outstanding technology eliminating electro-deposition and primer coating process. The main properties of pre-primed coating for automotive are flexibility, corrosion resistance, and weldability. Therefore, we synthesized the conventional polyester, elastomeric polyester and polyvinylidene fluoride resins and evaluated their properties to use as weldable pre-primed automotive coatings. As the results of flexibility and curing behavior, the elastomeric polyester coating was most appropriate to use for the pre-primed automotive coatings.

The physiological properties of extracts from Hizikia fusiforme with different extraction methods (hot water extraction, autoclave extraction and high pressure extraction) were investigated. The amounts of substances related to polyphenol and flavonoids contents were the highest in autoclave extract (30.51 mg/g and 4.78 mg/g, respectively). The DPPH radical scavenging activity was the highest in the autoclave extract (81.80%) at the 5 mg/mL. Autoclave extract exhibited the strongest ABTS radical scavenging activity and reducing power among the three extraction methods. However, ferrous ion chelating, TBA reactive substances and xanthine oxidase inhibition activity of high pressure extract were higher than those of the other extracts. Additionally, the tyrosinase and elastase inhibition activities of high pressure extract with a concentration of 1 mg/mL were higher than those of the other extracts. These results suggest that extracts of Hizikia fusiforme have a potential to act as functional materials, and autoclave and high pressure extractions are superior to hot water extraction for enhancement of the biological activity.

In this study, we evaluated the protective effects of the hot water extract from red bean (Phaseolus angularis) against oxidative DNA and cell damage induced by hydroxyl radical. The antioxidant activities were evaluated by hydroxyl radical and hydrogen peroxide scavenging assay, and $Fe^{2+}$-chelating assay. Although the extract with hot water didn't scavenge the hydroxyl radical, it removed and chelated hydrogen peroxide and ferrous iron necessary for the induction of hydroxyl radical by 71% and 64% at 200 ${\mu}g/ml$, respectively. Its protective effect on oxidative DNA damage was carried using ${\Psi}$X-174 RF I plasmid DNA comparing the conversion level of supercoiled form of the plasmid DNA into open-circular form and linear form and the expression level of phospho-H2AX in NIH 3T3 cells. In ${\Psi}$X-174 RF I plasmid DNA cleavage assay, it inhibited oxidative DNA damage by 96% at 200 ${\mu}g/ml$. Also, it decreased the expression of phospho-H2AX by 50.1% at 200 ${\mu}g/ml$. Its protective effect against oxidative cell damage was measured by MTT assay and the expression level of p21 protein in NIH 3T3 cells. In MTT assay for the protective effect against the oxidative cell damage, it inhibited the oxidative cell death and the abnormal cell growth induced by hydroxyl radical. Also, it inhibited p21 protein expression by 98% at 200 ${\mu}g/ml$. In conclusion, the results of the present studies indicate that hot water extract from red bean exhibits antioxidant properties and inhibit oxidative DNA damage and the cell death caused by hydroxyl radical.

Mistletoes are hemi-parasitic plant growing on different host tree and shrubs. They are traditionally used in folkloric medicine for the treatment of diarrhea, cough, diabetes, hypertension, cancer and skin infection. The purpose of this study was to determine the contents of phenolics and antioxidant activity of 70% ethanol, 100% methanol and hot water extracts of Jeju camellia mistletoe (Korthalsella japonica Engl.). Ethanol was most effective in extracting total phenols (7,427 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE)/100 g) and flavonoid (1,777 mg rutin equivalent (RE)/100 g). The free radical scavenging activity, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) (EC₅₀ = 7.8 mg/ml) and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) (EC₅₀ = 1.4 mg/ml), and the capacity for chelating metal ions (EC₅₀ = 8.0 mg/ml) and reducing power (EC₅₀ = 14.9 mg/ml) of the samples also higher in ethanolic extracts. The strong correlation (r² = −0.996～−0.881) between antioxidant capacities and the phenolic contents implied that phenolic compounds are a major contributor to the antioxidant activity of the ethanolic extracts of Jeju camellia mistletoe. As conclusions, Jeju camellia mistletoe contains bioactive substances with a potential for reducing the physiological as well as oxidative stress and this could explain the suggested cancer preventive effect of these plants as well as their protective role on other major diseases.

Antioxidant substances were extracted from flowers of Aster scaber, Aster maackii, Coreopsis lanceolata and Coreopsis tinctoria using 2 types of extraction methods- ultrasonic wave and reflux, and antioxidant effects were compared. Higher yield of extract was obtained by ultrasonic wave method in all 4 species. Extraction time was different depending on species, but in all 4 species DPPH and ABTS free radical scavenging and ferrous ion chelating activity were higher or similar by ultrasonic wave than reflux method. Content of total polyphenol and flavonoid was mainly higher by ultrasonic wave than reflux method. Longer the treatment, the more the antioxidant activity and bioactive substances. Anti-lipid peroxidation of ultrasonic and reflux extracts obtained from flowers of Aster scaber and Coreopsis lanceolata were compared. Flower extract of Aster scaber obtained by reflux method showed the highest inhibition effect against peroxidation of linoleic acid, but extract of Coreopsis lanceolata obtained by 15-minute ultrasonic extract showed the highest effect. Ultrasonic wave extraction was more economical and efficient method than reflux extraction.

This study was carry out to investigate the quality characteristics of Korean native black ground pork compared with modern genotype ground pork during refrigerated storage. Korean native black pig and modern genotype pig were slaughtered at 75 kg and 105 kg of live weight, and for 240 days and 210 days of feeding periods, respectively. The ground lean pork (M. semimembranosus) was stored for 9 days at 4℃. The crude fat and crude protein contents were significantly (p<0.05) higher in Korean native black pork. The pH value after 5 days of storage was significantly (p<0.05) lower in Korean native black pork than in modern genotype pork. WHC of Korean native black pork was significantly (p<0.05) higher than that of modern genotype pork over time. The Korean native black pork maintained black reddish color because it had lower CIE L/sup */ value and higher CIE a/sup */ value than the modern genotype pork. CIE L/sup */, b/sup */, C/sup */ and h/sup O/ values decreased as storage time increased. TBARS (thiobarbituric acid reactive substance), POV (peroxide value) and FOX (ferrous oxidation xylenol orange) tended to increase as storage time increased in all of the groups, in particular, those values increased more rapidly in Korean native black pork. Total saturated fatty acid and stearic acid contents had significantly higher in Korean native black pork (p<0.05).

Gastric mucosal damage by iron pills is often reported. However, iron pill aspiration is uncommon. Oxidation of the impacted iron pill causes bronchial mucosal damage that progresses to chronic bronchial inflammation, necrosis, endobronchial stenosis and rarely, perforation. We reported a case of a 92-year-old woman with chronic productive cough and significant left-sided atelectasis. Bronchoscopy revealed substantial luminal narrowing with exudative inflammation of the left main bronchus. Bronchial washing cytology showed necroinflammatory exudate and a small amount of brown material. Mucosal biopsy showed diffuse brown pigments indicative of ferrous pigments, crystal deposition, and marked tissue degeneration. After vigorous coughing, she expectorated dark sediments and her symptoms and radiological abnormalities improved. There are a few such reports worldwide; however, this was the first case reported in Korea. Careful observation of aspiration-prone patients and early detection of iron pill aspiration may prevent iron pill-induced bronchial injury.

Nutritional requirements and cultural conditions for the production of extracellular gelatin-degrading proteolytic enzyme by Bacillus subtilis B0021 were investigated. Optimum carbon source for proteolytic enzyme production was salicin, but it was substituted by glucose for economical reason. The fermentation medium giving a maximum proteolytic enzyme activity was consisted of 1.5%(w/v) glucose, 2.5%(w/v) yeast extract, and 0.001%(w/v) manganese sulfate and 0.002%(w/v) ferrous sulfate. Proteolytic enzyme activity of B. subtilis B0021 was completely inhibited by 0.5%(w/v) tannic acid. Initial pH was optimal at 7.0 and the enzyme activity in the flask culture usually reached a maximal level after 36 hours of fermentation at $30^{\circ}C$. In the $5\ell$ fermentor fermentation at $30^{\circ}C$, enzyme activity was maximum at 36 hour of cultivation but after this enzyme activity was decreased rapidly. Initial viscosity of 45%(w/v) gelatin(2,800mPas) was decreased rapidly to 96%(mPas) after hydrolysis for 4hr at $40^{\circ}C$ by crude enzyme of B. subtilis B0021.

In this study, we evaluated the protective effects of ethanol extracts from Dendranthema indicum on cell and DNA damages induced by oxidative stress. Antioxidant activities of D. indicum extracts are higher than scavenging activities of DPPH free radical and hydroxyl radical by 92.8% and 73.8%, respectively, and higher than ferrous iron chelating effects by 59.4%. D. indicum extracts showed a protective effect on oxidative cell damage by inhibiting lipid peroxidation by 90.3% in the control group, and inhibiting expression level of p21 protein by 79.6% for the control group. This means D. indicum extracts have a great protective effect against oxidative stress. DNA fragmentation inhibition in D. indicum extracts were 89.6% for the control group, which makes the movement of DNA tail reduced, and phosphorylation of H2AX was 20.2% of the radical experiment group. This means that D. indicum extracts effectively inhibit DNA fragmentation and H2AX phosphorylation. Taken together, we suggest that ethanol extract from D. indicum has a role as a useful chemopreventor against oxidative damage.
