The efficient production of glucose isomerase (G. I0.) produced form Arthrobacter sp. L-3 was studied. The optimum culture time of the enzyme was 40hr. The maximum enzyme activity was found at glucose concentration 1%. G. I. activity did not affect inoculum size. The glucose isomerase activity was strongly influenced by the addition of glucose.

Effects of xylose and glucose on the xylitol production were investigated with Candida parapsilosis KFCC 10875. With increasing the ratio of glucose to xylose, xylitol production decreased but ethanol and glycerol production increased. The maximum concentrations of ethanol and glycerol were 21.5 g/l and 3.6 g/l, respectively, in a medium consisting of 10 g/l xylose and 40 g/l glucose. No xylitol was formed in the glucose medium without xylose since xylitol could not be produced from glucose alone. The inhibitory effect of ethanol, a major by-product, on xylitol production was also studied. As the added ethanol concentration was increased, xylitol production decreased. When cells were inoculated in a xylose medium after removing the by-product (ethanol), xylitol production was not inhibited. The concentrated cells grown on xylose or glucose were inoculated in a fermentor containing the xylose medium. The total activities $(specific{\;}activities{\times}\;cell\;concentration)$ of xylose reductase and xylitol dehydrogenase in concentrated cells grown on glucose were the same as those in a normal fermentation; the specific activities of the above enzymes in the cells grown on xylose were the same as those in a normal fermentation. It indicates that the xylitol productivity of concentrated cells grown on xylose could be increased with increasing the cell concentration. By using concentrated cells of 20 g/l grown on xylose, the final xylitol concentration of 40 g/l was obtained for 18 h fermentation from 50 g/l xylose.

Well-aligned Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires were synthesized on silicon substrates by a carbothermal evaporation method using a mixture of ZnO and graphite powder with Au thin film was used as a catalyst. The XRD results showed that as-prepared product is the hexagonal wurzite ZnO nanostructure and SEM images demonstrated that ZnO nanowires had been grown along the [0001] direction with hexagonal cross section. As-grown ZnO nanowires were coated with glucose oxidase (GOx) for glucose sensing. Glucose converted into gluconic acid by reaction with GOx and two electrons are generated. They transfer into ZnO nanowires due to the electric force between electrons and the positively charged ZnO nanostructures in PBS. Photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy was employed for investigating the movements of electrons, and the peak PL intensity increased with the glucose concentration and became saturated when the glucose concentration is above 10 mM. These results demonstrate that ZnO nanostructures have potential applications in biosensors.

The aqueous glucose solution was separated by the membrane distillation with hydrophobic pojytetrafluoroethylcnc microfiltration membrane, The nominal pore size of the membrane was 0.2${\mu}m$. As the operating temperature increased from 40$^{\cirt}C$ to 70$^{\cirt}C$, the membrane permeation flux increased from 3.6 LMH to IL2 LlVIH, but the glucose rejection decreased 99% to 65% Also, the permeation nux and rejection decreased 25% and 6%, respectively, as the concentration of glucose solution increased 2 wt% to 4 wt%.

We developed a glucose sensor using glucose dehydrogenase flavin adenine dinucleotide (GDH-FAD). The structure of the three-layer glucose sensor was simplified, in which a single-layer design was used to lower the unit cost, and GDH-FAD was used to increase the measurement reliability. GDH-FAD has less impact on the 20 interfering substances that affect blood glucose measurement, such as galactose and maltose compared to glucose oxidase (GOD), and is not affected by the oxygen saturation; therefore, it is possible to measure both arterial or venous blood and thus less susceptibility to hematocrit. In this study, we developed a single-layer glucose sensor strip with low hematocrit effect using the GDH-FAD enzyme, and measured and evaluated the performance.

Recently, diabetes has been found to be associated with osteoporosis. Specially in IDDM. In both type I and type II diabetes, glucose levels are elevated. Thus, a linkage between high glucose and osteoporosis can not be ruled out. In this study, an attempt has been made to observe the effect of high glucose on bone formation; osteoblast like UMR 106 cells were treated with high glucose (22 mM, 33 mM) for 1, 3 or 7 days. The high concentration of glucose inhibited markers. of bone formation activity such as alkaline phosphatase and collagen synthesis. In addition, reduction in the level of total cellular protein in response to high glucose was also observed. This study showed high glucose concentration could alter the bone metabolism leading to a defective bone formation and thus paving the linkage of such situation to diabetic complications.

Xylitol production from xylose and glucose was investigated using Candida tropicalis KFCC-10960. As glucose concentration in xylose medium was increased, ethanol production increased. However, xylitol production was maximum at glucose concentration of 10 g/l. The concentrated cells grown on xylose or glucose were inoculated in xylose medium. The specific activities of xylose reductase and xylitol dehydrogenase, and xylitol production in concentrated cells grown on glucose were the same as those in concentrated cells grown on xylose. The results suggested that cells grown on glucose had the same xylitol producing activity as those grown on xylose. By feeding glucose in xylose medium, cell growth was achieved from glucose and xylitol production was obtained from xylose. By using this technique, a final xylitol concentration of 261 g/l was achieved from 300 g/l xylose in 41 hours which corresponded to a xylitol yield from xylose of 87% and a xylitol productivity of 6.37 g/1-h.

In this study, the two sampling methods for blood glucose measurement were evaluated in order to reduce pre-analytical error. For this purpose, glucose levels of Li-heparinized plasma (LHP) and Na-fluorinated plasma (NFP) in blood collected from healthy volunteers were determined by using routine hexokinase procedures. The percentage range of pre-analytical error was quantitated by comparing LHP glucose values with NFP glucose values according to delaying analytical time (0, 60, and 120 min). LHP glucose values were decreased by 6.6% in 60 min., 17.7% in 120 min, whereas NFP glucose values decreased by 1.1% in 60 min, 2.0% in 120 min. Therefore it may be recommended that the NFP sampling method should be used for routine blood glucose determination in diabetes mellitus diagnosis.
