Nonionic surfactants, diglycerol N-acyl glutamates were prepared through the esterification of N-acryl glutamic acids and glycidol in the presence of quarternary ammonium salts. Their cmc evaluated by the surface tension method was $0.15{\sim}0.75mol/{\ell}$, and the surface tension of aqueous solution was decreased to 28~35dyne/cm. L-DGLG with acyl group of carbon number of 12 showed good foaming power and emulsifying power, and the emulsifying power in toluene was stronger than in soybean oil. Dispersion effect of L-DGPG and L-DGSG with acyl group of carbon number of 16 and 18 in carbon black and ferric oxide were higher than L-DGLG. All of them showed good biodegradability at $20^{\circ}C$.

Objective : Globus pallidus interna (GPi) is acknowledged as an essential treatment for advanced Parkinson's disease (PD). Nonetheless, the neurotransmitter study about its results is undiscovered. The goal of this research was to examine influences of entopeduncular nucleus (EPN) stimulation, identical to human GPi, in no-lesioned (NL) rat and 6-hydroxydopamine (6-HD)-lesioned rat on glutamate change in the striatum. Methods : Extracellular glutamate level changes in striatum of NL category, NL with deep brain stimulation (DBS) category, 6-HD category, and 6-HD with DBS category were examined using microdialysis and high-pressure liquid chromatography. Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) immunoreactivities in substantia nigra and striatum of the four categories were also analyzed. Results : Extracellular glutamate levels in the striatum of NL with DBS category and 6-HD with DBS category were significantly increased by EPN stimulation compared to those in the NL category and 6-HD category. EPN stimulation had no significant effect on the expression of TH in NL or 6-HD category. Conclusion : Clinical results of GPi DBS are not only limited to direct inhibitory outflow to thalamus. They also include extensive alteration within basal ganglia.
