Dried lavers, Porphyra yezoensis Ueda, were stored at $20^{\circ}C$ for 10, 25 and 45 days under a dry and humid conditions respectively, and changes in the contents of organic acids were studied by GLC and supplementary use of GC-MS. 1) Out of eight acids determined, i. e., pyruvic, lactic, oxalic, malonic, fumaric, succinic, malic, and citric acid, relatively abundant ones were oxalic, succinic, malic, and citric acid. 2) Oxalic, malic, and succinic acid did not show any notable changes in their contents under a dry condition, however, under a humid condition the contents of the former tow acids decreased rapidly showing contrast to that of succinic acid, of which content increased markedly. The content of citric acid rapidly· decreased independent of the storage conditions. 3) Among some unidentified components, two of them were presumed to be aromatic acids from their mass spectra. The contents of the two acids decreased slowly under a dry condition, however, rapidly decreased under a humid condition and after 45 days storage almost all of them disappeared. 4) The contents of total volatile acids were increased under the both storage conditions, however, the rate of increment was larger under a humid than under a dry condition.

In order to clarify the possible contamination of rice straw used as a crude feed for livestock, Korean native cattle and cow, by pesticides, the samples collected from 21 sites in Korea were analyzed by a multiresidue method for 10 pesticides with GLC to obtain the following results. 1. Detection limits were 0.001ppm in butachlor, 0.002ppm in chlorpyrifos, 0.003ppm in BPMC, pirimiphos-methyl and diazinon, 0.004ppm in fenitrothion, 0.005ppm in phenthoate, 0.009ppm in IBP, 0.015ppm in carbofuran, and 0.03ppm in carbaryl. 2. In recovery tests, 73-101% of the pesticides applied were recovered, the recovery being low in carbofuran and chlorpyrifos. 3. Butachlor, 2-chloroacetanilide herbicide, and BPMC, carbaryl, and carbofuran, carbamate insecticides, were not detected in any sample. 4. In organophosphorus insecticides, the amounts of fenitrothion in sample No. 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 12, 20 and 21 were in the range of 0.01-0.05ppm, those of phenthoate detected in sample No. 10 and 12 were 0.4 and 0.17ppm, respectively, and those of IBP in all samples, with the exception of sample No. 7, 12, 16, 17, 20, and 21, were in the range of 0.01-0.20ppm. The residues of chlorpyrifos, diazinon, and pirimiphos-methyl were not detected.

Composite soil samples from 236 sites representing paddy field, up-land, orchard and plastic film house were examined for organochlorine residues by GLC-ECD. Detection frequencies and residual levels of most persistent organochlorine residues in the soil samples were found to depend on the cropping practices. Highest organochlorine residues were found in orchard soils and followed, in decreasing order, plastic film house, up-land and paddy field soils. ${\alpha}-Endosulfan$, dieldrin, p,p'-DDD and p,p'-DDT were responsible for the observed high organochlorine residues in the orchard soils. ${\alpha}-BHC$ and ${\gamma}-BHC$ were detected in all 236 soil samples. The mean residue levels of both BHC isomers were, however, remained fairly low. Residues of PCNB and ${\alpha}-endosulfan$ in native soils are reported, for the first time, in present work. PCNB was present in up-land plastic film house soils while ${\alpha}-endosulfan$ was found in all agricultural soils studied. High levels of p,p'-DDT and dieldrin were discussed in relation to crops cultivated, amount and duration of the pesticides usage. Need for continued observations on the persistent residue of pesticides in soils, already banned for general use, is emphasized.

To get information on the behavior of phorate in vegetables under the subtropical conditions, phorate granule (10%) was applied to silt loam soil at the rate of 40㎏ a.i./ha and incorporated to 10㎝ soil depth just befere sowing. Insecticide residues in vegetables were determined with GLC and confirmed qualitatively with TLC. Phorate and its metabolites were absorbed by the radish and carrot roots and rapidly translocated into foliages. The compounds detected in vegetables were phorate, phorate sulfoxide, and phorate sulfone. Residue levels of compounds in radishes were higher in foliages than in roots and much more residues were present in leaf lamina than in midribs. The concentration of the total residues in vegetable roots was rapidly decreased with the time, while the amount of total residues in radish roots was increased with the time. Therefore, the rapid decline of residue levels in vegetables was mainly attributed to the dilution of insecticide residues by the rapid growth of these vegetables.

Waters, sediments and crucian carps samples collected bimonthly from Nakdong river during- the period of August 1982 to June 1983 were analyzed for organophosphorus pesticide residues by GLC equipped with a flame photometric detector. Among the environmental samples, IBP, diazinon, phenthoate, parathion, malathion and fenitrothion residues were found only in waters and crucian carps and sediments samples were devoid of the residues. In addition, seasonal variations of the residues in waters and crucian carps were observed. Waters and crucian carps samples collected in August, when pesticides are generally in great demand, contained all the organophosphorus pesticide residues while no organophosphorus were detected in waters and crucian carps samples collected in February, April or December. The most abundant residues in the two environmental samples were diazinon and IBP and residue levels of parathion, malathion and fenitrothion were found extremely low.

Much attention has been paid to the fact that quite a few herbicides such as phenylcarbamates, phenylureas, and acylanilides form azo compounds known as carcinogens by virtue of the microoranisms in soil. In consequence, many investigators synthesized. TCAB, an azo compound, starting from 3,4-dichloronitrobenzene for the related studies. However, the authors were under the necessity of synthesizing $^{14}C-ring-labeled$ TCAB from $^{14}C-ring-labeled$ 3,4-DCA available, in addition to making up for the disadvantage of dechlorination in the reduction of 3,4-dichloronitrobenzene. The new method is as follows:TCAB, $^{14}C-ring-labeled$ and non-labeled, was produced by aerial oxidation of 3,4-DCA catalyzed by CuCl with pyridine as solvent at $60^{\circ}C$ for 5-12 hrs, giving 80.2% yield. The procedure forpurification was described in detail. The identities of TCAB isomers were confirmed by means of autoradiography, TLC, GLC, IR, and MS.

Experimatal maxillary sinusitis was induced in New Zealand white rabbits by blocking the maxillary sinus ostium. The distribution of lectin receptors was explored in the mucosa with induced maxillary sinusitis using colloidal gold label complex with lectin WGA purified from wheat germ (Triticum vulgaris). The lectin WGA gold complex, shown to recognize GlcNac (N-acetylglucosamine) and NeuNAc (N-acetylneuraminic acid) regions, was applied to detect binding sites in Lowicryl HM 20 sections and viewed under the electron microscope. An increased height of the cylindric cells, ciliary loss and hyperplasia of the secretory cells were observed. Examination of normal sinus mucosa labeled with gold-labeled lectins showed the distribution of sialoglycoconjugates to be mainly in the ciliary layer and the granules in the secretory cells. Inflamed mucosa had increased labeling intensity of gold-labeled WGA in the cilia and the secretory granules. These results indicate that lectin WGA receptors are located in the cilia and secretory granules. Specific changes in the lectin binding pattern were apparent in the inflamed mucosa in the experimentally induced acute sinusitis, in comparison with normal mucosa, conceivably as a part of host defense reactions.

This study was carried out to survey the residual characteristics of pesticides and assess their safety. Nineteen agricultural commodities, collected from wholesale and traditional markets in Cheongju. Nineteen agricultural commodities including perilla leaves were collected from the markets on October 29th, 2010. Total 240 pesticides which can be analyzed by multiresidue analysis method by GLC and HPLC were monitored and the pesticides detected were confirmed by GC-MSD and LC-MS. Five pesticides, alachlor, bifenthrin, endosulfan, procymidone and triflumizole, were detected from five samples, such as welsh onion, leek and celery in case of wholesale market and perilla leaves and welsh onion in case of traditional market. Detection rate of 13.2% was obtained as a result of pesticide analysis but 2.6% of the pesticides detected exceeded their maximum residue limits. The estimated daily intakes (EDIs) and maximum permissible intakes (MPIs) of the pesticides detected were less than 26% and 0.05% of their acceptable daily intakes (ADIs) respectively, representing that residue levels of the pesticides detected would be safe.

For effective separation of the N-TFA n-butyl ester amino acids on the stainless steel column by GLC, dual column of the mixed stationary phases, 3.36% OV-17+3.0% SE-30(column 1) and 1% NPGS +0.5% OV-17+0.5% SE-30(column 2) on chromosorb W HP 100-120 mesh, were used. On the column 1. the nineteen amino acids except histidine were obtained. However, alanine and valine peaks were not separated by this column. On the column 2, the sixteen amino acid peaks showed good separation, but tryptophan. arginine, histidine, and tyrosine peaks were not obtained. Calibration graphs for all amino acids obtained by the plotting the ratios of their peaks hights to that of internal standard versus the micro mole of the amino acids in the range $1.25{\times}10^{-3}{\mu}mol-1.0{\times}10^{-2}{\mu}mole$ showed linearity and passed through the origin.

Samples of red ginseng. which had been manufactured and packaged by the Korea Monopoly Corporation. were stored at ambient temperatures $(12-28^{\circ}C)$ and humidities $(55-68\%)$ for one to nine years to examine their overall quality stability and. in particular. antioxidant activity. The approximate compositions. contents of various solvent extracts. and TLC and HPLC patterns of ginsenosides in the samples which are otherwise susceptible to oxidation. were stable as judged by the changes of the TLC and GLC patterns of the lipids and fatty acids. It was also found that polyunsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic (C18: 2) and linolenic acid (C18: 3) present in the samples had been very stable during the long storage periods. The intensity of the brown color of the red ginseng samples increased significantly with storage time. The pH of the aqueous extracts of the samples also increased slightly during storage. The coloration changes seem to indicate that extensive browning reactions had occurred during storage. The reducing powers of aqueous and ethanol extracts and antioxidant activity of ethyl acetate extracts also increased with storage time. The increase in reducing powers and antioxidant activity appeared to be directly attributable to the increased amounts of non-enzymatic browning reaction products formed progressively during the long storage periods. Therefore. it seems that those antioxidative compounds. which will be progressively formed in red ginseng through non-enzymatic browning reactions during the manufacturing process and long-term storage. will not only contribute to their overall quality stability but also have some significant relationship with their antiaging pharmacological effects.
