The effects of negative carbon ion beam energy on the bonding configuration, hardness and surface roughness of DLC film prepared by a direct metal ion beam deposition system were investigated. As the negative carbon ion beam energy increased from 25 to 150 eV, the $sp^3$ fraction of DLC films was increased from 32 to 67%, while the surface roughness was decreased. The films prepared at 150 eV showed the more flat surface morphology of the film than that of the film prepared under another ion beam energy conditions. Surface roughness of DLC film varied from 0.62 to 0.22 nm with depositing carbon ion beam energy. Surface nano-hardness increased from 12 to 57 Gpa when increasing the negative carbon ion beam energy from 25 to 150 eV, and then decreased when increasing the ion beam energy from 150 to 200 eV.

Enzymatic hydrolysate of porphyran from Porphyra yezoensis was prepared by treatment with ${\beta}$-agarase. The hydrolysate was fractioned into molecular sizes of <3, 3-30, and 30-300 kDa using an ultrafiltration membrane. The membrane fractions were further separated into neutral and anionic fractions using Dowex $1{\times}8$ ion exchange chromatography. After hydrolysis of porphyran with ${\beta}$-agarase, 23.2% of the starting porphyran was recovered as a neutral fraction of low-molecular weight (<3 kDa), and 28.9% remained as an enzyme-resistant anionic fraction of high molecular weight (>300 kDa). Desulfation of porphyran and $^{13}C$-NMR analysis of the anionic fraction of low molecular weight (<3 kDa) showed that the anionic fraction has a backbone consisting of 3-linked ${\beta}$-D-galactose units alternating with either 4-linked a-L-galactose 6-sulfate or 3, 6-anhydro-a-L-galactose units. These results indicate that porphryan is a copolymer of two moieties, about 25% of which are composed of neoagarose moieties and 75% as anionic moieties.

To detect falcarinol in Acanthopanax senticosus, its stem and bark were extracted with methanol fractionated with petroleum ether and diethyl ether, and separated by silica gel column chromatography, Resulting six crude samples were compared with standard falcarinol through TLC on silica gel plates. Fraction 6 showed $R_{f}$ value of 0.46 similar to that of standard falcarinol. Through analytical reverse phase HPLC/PDA, UV spectra of standard falcarinol and traction 6 recorded between 200 and 340 nm showed identical peaks and UV spectra patterns. GC/MS revealed standard falcarinol and fraction 6 have equal retention times of 7.4 and 8.5 min before and after TMS-derivatization, respectively. Standard falcarinol and fraction 6 showed more similar spectrum patterns after TMS-derivatization than before. These results confirm presence of falcarinol in A. senticosus.

Direct use of negative ions for modification of materials has opened new research such as charging-free ion implantation and new materials syntheses by pure kinetic bonding reactions. For these purposes, a new solid-state ce-sium ion source has been developed in the laboratory scale. In this paper, diamond like carbon(DLC) films were prepared on silicon wafer by a negative cesium ion gun. This system does not need any gas in the chamber; deposition occurs under high vacuum. The ion source has good control of the C- beam energy(from 80 to 150eV). The result of Raman spectrophotometer shows that the degree of diamond-like character in the films, $sp^3$ fraction, increased as ion beam energy increases. The nanoindentation hardness of the films also increases from 7 to 14 GPa as a function of beam energy. DLC films showed ultra-smooth surface(Ra~1$\AA$)and an impurity-free quality.

한우 난소의 황체는 다양한 세포들로 구성되어 있으며 난소의 생식기능유지와 임신유지에 중요한 인자가 복잡하게 관련되어 있으며 이들 황체에서 분비하는 단백질은 황체기능에 필수적으로 중요한 작용을 한다. 본 연구는 난소의 황체일령에 따른 단백질 분비 패턴을 조사함으로써 황체세포의 기능과 임신 유지에 관련되는 인자들을 조사하기 위하여 수행하였다. 한우에서 채취한 난소에서 황체를 분리, 황체시기별(전기, 중기, 말기)로 구분하여 cytosol을 분리 정제하였다. 황체시기별로 분리된 황체 단백질의 성분을 분석하기 위해 ion-exchange chromatography를 이용하여 단백질 패턴을 조사, 추출된 fraction을 단백질 정량후 SDS-PAGE를 실시하였다. 그 결과 중기에서의 단백질의 농도가 가장 높았으며, 특히 단백질 패턴 또한 다른 양상을 보였다. 시기별로 구분한 각각의 fraction을 SDS-PAGE로 조사했을 때 중기와 말기황체 cytosol의 fraction 3번과 4번에서 다른 양상을 보였으며 SDS-PAGE에서 120kb, 95kb, 34kb, 25kb 등의 단백질 밴드를 확인할 수 있었다. 초, 중기황체에서만 특이하게 검출되는 단백질 band를 확인할 수 있었으며 이 들 단백질을 구체적으로 확인하기 위하여 Two-Dimensional electrophoresis를 이용하여 실험을 수행하였다. 시기별로 분리된 황체를 일반적인 IEF단백질 분리법으로 cytosol을 회수한 후 IPG-system을 이용하여 1차원 전기영동을 한 후, SDS-PAGE로 이차원 전기영동을 실시하였다. 이차원 전기영동 결과, SDS-PAGE의 결과와 비슷한 위치에 부분적으로 다른 spot의 양상을 보였다. 특히 기능황체에서의 특이적 발현 spot을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과들로부터 황체의 progesterone분비기능의 역할을 수행하기 위한 단백질들이 전, 중기에 발현된다는 것을 알 수 있고 퇴행황체에서는 발현이 안되고 있는 것을 알 수 있다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 다른 양상을 띤 spot을 분리하여 어떤 단백질인지를 분석하여 각각의 황체단백질의 특성을 규명할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Glutamic acid can be crystallized inside cation exchange column when displacer NaOH concentration is high enough to concentrate displaced glutamic acid beyond its solubility limit. Resulting crystal layer of glutamic acid was moved with liquid phase through the column, and thus could be eluted from the column and recovered in fraction collector. For the purpose of enhancing crystal recovery, effects of operating parameters on the crystal formation were investigated. The increase in the degree of crosslinking of resin favored crystal recovery because of its low degree of swelling. Higher concentration of displacer NaOH was advantageous. If NaOH concentration is too high, however, crystal recovery was lowered due to the solubility-enhancing effects of high pH and ionic strength. The decrease of mobile phase flow rate enhanced crystal recovery because enough time to attain local equilibrium could be provided, but film diffusion would control the overall crystal formation with extremely low flow rate. Lower temperature reduced solubility of glutamic acid and thus favored crystal formation unless the rate of ion exchange was severely reduced. The ion exchange operated by displacement mode coupled with crystallization was advantageous in reducing the burden of further purification steps and in preventing purity-loss resulted from overlapping between adjacent bands.

Ethanol extract of Alpiniae Katsumadaii semen inhibited potently cholesterol esterase activity in vitro. Chloroform fraction of ethanol extract showed the stronger inhibitory effect than other solvent fractions-ethylacetate fraction, butanol fraction, and aqueous fraction. The chloroform frac ion of Alpiniae katsumadaii semen were studied as a candidator of plasma cholesterol lowering material in high cholesterol-fed rats. In high cholesterol-fed rats, the diet with chloroform fraction of 100 mg/kg and 150 mg/kg lowered not only plasma neutral lipids contents 25.9% and 26.5% but also plasma total cholesterol level 11.8% and 20.8%, respectively. Plasma HDL-cholesterol level and Atherogenic Index(AI) in Alpiniae chloroform fraction-fed rats were recovered as those level of normal rats.

It was observed that the hot water extract of the leaves of Capsicum annuum L., a Korean edible plant, had a potent anti-complementary activity. Crude polysaccharide fraction(CAL-0) was obtained by methanol reflux, ethanol precipitation, dialysis and lyophilization. CAL-0 contained 51.8% of total sugar, 8.2% of uronic acid and 16.8% of protein, and consisted of mainly arabinose, galactose and glucose as neutral sugars and galacturonic acid as uronic acid. The anti-complementary activity of CAL-0 decreased greatly by periodate oxidation, but was not changed by pronase treatment. Also, the anti-complementary activity of CAL-0 was reduced partially in the absence of the $Ca^{2+}$ ion. The crude polysaccharide CAL-0 was found to activate the C3 component both in the presence and in the absence of $Ca^{2+}$ through the crossed-immunoelectrophoresis suggesting that those involved in both classical and alternative complement pathway CAL-0 was further separated to an unabsorbed fraction(CAL-1) and six absorbed fractions(CAL-2longrightarrowCAL-7) on DEAE Sepharose CL-6B ion exchange column. Among them four major fractions in activity and yield were obtained, and consisted mainly of arabinose, galactose and glucose with various molar ratios. The major fraction, CAL-2, was purified to give a high molecular fraction(CAL-2-I) and a low molecular fraction(CAL-2-II) on Sepharose CL-6B column. The anti-complementary activity of CAL-2-I, a molecular weight of about 61,000, was higher than it of CAL-2-II.-II.

The electrical properties of polysilicon thin films implanted with $B_2H_6$ diluted in $H_2$ as dopant source using ion mass doping technique and the effect of radiation damage on the dopant activation behavior were investigated. Comparing the SIMS profiles of boron in polysilicon films with that obtained from computer simulation using TRIM92 the most probable ion species were $B_2H_x\;^+$(x＝1, 2, 3‥‥) type molecular ions. As a result of the Implantation of energetic massive ions, a continuous amorphized layer was created in polysilicon films where the fraction of amorphized layer varied with doping time. This amorphization comes from the fact that mass separation of implanting species is not employed in this ion mass doping technique. In the dopant activation behavior, reverse annealing phenomenon appeared in the intermediate annealing temperature range for a severely damaged specimen. The experimental result showed that the off-state current of the p-channel polysilicon thin film transistor is dependent on the degree of radiation damage.

The result of the screening of lectins on 28 species of marine shell fishes(mollusks) showed that 10 species (Tapes philippinarum, Cyclosunetta menstrualis, Neptunea arthritica cumingii, Omphalius pfeifferi carpenteri, Chlorostoma argyrostoma turbinatum, Chiorostoma argyrostoma lischkei, Semisulcosira corea, Neptunea polycosta, Babylonica japonica, Noverita didyma) were present hemagglutinating properties to human A, B, and O group, and animal blood erythrocytes. A new lectin from Tapes philippinarum. was isolated and partially characterized. The lectin was purified by (NH$_4$)$_2$SO$_4$ precipitation and ion exchange chromatography on DE 53 column. Six fractions were obtained from DE 53 column by salt gradient elution but only 0.3M, and 0.4M NaCl fraction had strong lectin activity. On its 0.3M NaCl fraction, purity was identified by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. This lectin was inhibited by N-acetyl-D-galactosamine. It seems that two kinds of lectin react as antigen by immunochemical studies.
