In the present study, at first, azo Schiff base ligand of (N,N'-bis(5-phenylazosalicylaldehyde)-ethylenediamine) ($H_2L$) has been synthesized by condensation reaction of 5-phenylazosalicylaldehyde and ethylenediamine in 2:1 molar ratio, respectively. Then, its cobalt complex (CoL) was synthesized by reaction of $Co(OAc)_2{\cdot}4H_2O$ with ligand ($H_2L$) in 1:1 molar ratio in ethanol solvent. This ligand and its cobalt complex containing azo functional groups were characterized using elemental analysis, $^1H$-NMR, UV-vis and IR spectroscopies. Subsequently, the interaction between native calf thymus deoxyribonucleic acid (ct-DNA) and CoL complex was investigated in 10 mM Tris/HCl buffer solution, pH = 7 using UV-vis absorption, thermal denaturation technique and viscosity measurements. From spectrophotometric titration experiments, the binding constant of CoL complex with ct-DNA was found to be $(2.4{\pm}0.2){\times}10^4M^{-1}$. The thermodynamic parameters were calculated by van't Hoff equation.The enthalpy and entropy changes were $5753.94{\pm}172.66kcal/mol$ and $43.93{\pm}1.18cal/mol{\cdot}K$ at $25^{\circ}C$, respectively. Thermal denaturation experiments represent the increasing of melting temperature of ct-DNA (about $0.93^{\circ}C$) due to binding of CoL complex. The results indicate that the process is entropy-driven and suggest that hydrophobic interactions are the main driving force for the complex formation.

In this study, antibacterial activity and cytotoxicity of the extracts from pericarp and seed of $Vitis$ $coignetiea$, which were extracted with 0.1% HCl-60% ethanol, were analyzed. The antibacterial activity of the extracts was determined by paper disc diffusion method against food spoilage and food-borne pathogens. The pericarp extract showed high antibacterial activity against $Bacillus$ $cereus$, $Escherichia$ $coli$ O157:H7, and $Pseudomonas$ $aeruginosa$, and the seed extract represented the high antibacterial activity against $B.$ $cereus$, $E.$ $coli$ O157:H7, and $Staphylococcus$ $aureus$. The cytotoxicity of the $Vitis$ $coignetiea$ extract against human cancer cells was determined using the MTT assay and SRB assay. The pericarp extract represented strong growth-inhibition activity against G361 and Hep3B cells and the seed extract greatly inhibited the growth of HeLa and G361 cells in the MTT assay. In addition, the pericarp extract displayed a high inhibition activity against the growth of AGS cells and the seed extract greatly inhibited the growth of HeLa, Hep3B, and MCF7 cells in the SRB assay. Especially, the cytotoxicities of the seed extract against HeLa were significantly higher than those of the extract against other cancer cells at all test concentrations. This study demonstrates that the extract from pericarp and seed of $Vitis$ $coignetiea$ possess high antibacterial activity and cytotoxicity.

The aimed of the presence study was to determine the antiulcer potential of virgin coconut oil (VCO), either extracted by wet process (VCO_A) or fermentation process (VCO_B), and to compare their effectiveness against the copra oil (CO) using the HCl/ethanol-induced gastric ulcer model. Earlier, the oils underwent chemical analysis to determine the free fatty acids composition, physicochemical properties and anti-oxidant capability. In the antiulcer study, rats (n=6) were pre-treated orally for 7 consecutive days with distilled water (vehicle), 100 mg/kg ranitidine (positive group) or the respective oils (10, 50, and 100% concentration). One hour after the last test solutions administration on Day 7^th, the animals were subjected to the gastric ulcer assay. Macroscopic and microscopic analyses were performed on the collected rat's stomachs. From the results obtained, the chemical analysis revealed i) the presence of high content of lauric acid followed by myristic acid and palmitic acid in all oils and; ii) the significant (^*p< 0.05) different in anisidine- and peroxide-value, percentage of free fatty acid, total phenolic content and total antioxidant activity among the oils. The animal study demonstrated that all oil possess significant (^*p< 0.05) antiulcer activity with VCO_B being the most effective oil followed by VCO_A and CO. The macroscopic observations were supported by the microscopic findings. Interestingly, all oils were more effective than 100 mg/kg ranitidine (reference drug). In conclusion, coconut oils exert remarkable antiulcer activity depending on their methods of extraction, possibly via the modulation of its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity.

$N_1-alkyl-5-fluorouracil$ derivatives from 2-chloro-ethylacrylate(CEA) were synthesized. The reaction of 5-fluorouracil(5-FU) with 2-chloroethyl acrylate gave 1-hydroxyethyl-5-fluorouracil(HEFU) in 70% yield. The treatment of HEFU with acryloyl chloride afforded 1-acryloyloxyethyl-5-fluorouracil (AOEFU). Poly(1-acryloyloxyethyl-5-fluorouracil)[Poly(AOEFU)] was also synthesized from 5-fluorouracil and Poly(CEA). The hydrolysis rates of $N_1-alkyl-5-fluorouracil$ derivatives were observed by means of UV spectrophotometer at 265 nm in ethanol-water(1 : 1); k = the constant of hydrolysis rate, $k=1.38{\times}10^{-4}$/sec for HEFU, $k=9.25{\times}10^{-5}$/sec for AOEFU, $k=4.16{\times}10^{-5}$k = 4.16 ${\times}$ $10-5}sec$ for Poly(AOEFU). The differential thermal analysis and thermogravimetry of 5-fluorouracil derivatives have been discussed.

PVC membrane, which has been used for membrane of electrolyte sensors, shortened sensor lifetime due to poor adhesion to sensor surface and exhibited difficulty in standardization and mass-production. To overcome these problems, the membrane solution was prepared with neutral carrier, matrix(TEOS:DEDMS=1:3), solvent(ethanol), and a catalyzer(HCl). The fabricated electrolyte sensors showed typical electrical characteristics of MISFET (metal-insulator-semiconductor field-effect transistor). The K-, Ca- and Na-ISFETs showed sensitivity of 53, 25 and 50 mV/decade in wide concentration range, respectively. The response time was about 90 seconds and the drift was 0.05mV/hour. These results suggest that the sol-gel method and the lift-off technique can be applied to formation of membranes and expected to improve mass-productivity, standardzation of the sensors.

Objectives : Pyeongwi-san is widely used in Korean medicine for acute indigestion or gastrodynia. As a therapeutic agent for digestive diseases of modern people, in order to confirm the mechanism of Pyeongwi-san on digestive tract disease and the difference of therapeutic efficacy between its formulation, a comparative efficacy test was conducted on digestive tract disease animal model. Methods : For LPS enteritis animal model, male SD rats were intraorally treated with different formulation types of Pyeongwi-san, and then intraperitoneally administered LPS one hour later to induce enteritis. After 5 hours, blood was collected and TNFα, IL-1β, IL-6 and PGE2 were confirmed by ELISA. For acute gastritis animal model, male SD rats were intraorally treated with different formulation types of Pyeongwi-san according to the prescribed concentration, and then intraorally administered 60% ethanol and 150 mM HCl one hour later to induce acute gastritis. After 5 hours, blood was collected and TNFα,IL-6 were confirmed by ELISA. Results : In the LPS-administered enteritis animal model, Pyeongwi-san decreased TNFα, IL-1β, PGE2 and especially IL-6. Pyeongwi-san also decreased IL-6 in acute gastritis animal model. In addition, there was no significant difference in efficacy between the two formulations when compared with inflammatory markers. Conclusions : The efficacy of Pyeongwi-san was confirmed in the inflammatory markers related to digestive inflammatory diseases, and the efficay between two formulations of Pyeongwi-san was relatively similar. Further studies are needed to investigate the new applicability of Pyeongwi-san on different inflammatory diseases that have similar inflammation markers identified in this experiment.

Rheum tanguticum has long been used in oriental medicine as antipyretics, analgesics, anti-inflammation, aperient, hypertension medicine and medicine for skin disease. This study has investigated the effectiveness of defense for gastritis making use of Rheum tanguticum and its similar plants, Rumex cripus, Rheum officinale, Rhem palmatum and Rheum undulatum. Chysophanol, chrysophanol-8-O-glc, Desoxyrhaponticin desoxyrhaponti-genin, emodin, isorhaponticin, 2-methoxy-4-hydroxyanthraquinone-5-O-glc, physcion, pirace-tannol-3'-O-glc, resveratrol, rhaponticin and rhapontigenin are used as the components of Rheum tanguticum. In HCl ethanol-induced gastritis in rat, the most effective extract was 70 percent ethanol which is of Rheum tanguticum, showing the inhibition of 91.8 percent to the gastric lesions. 70% ethanol extract of Rhem palmatum and Rumex cripus shown inhibition of 75.6 percent and 73.2 percent, respectively. This effectiveness is considered as acid-neutralizing capacity, anti-H.pylori and anti-oxidant activity. 70% ethanol extract of Rheum tanguticum and its component, piracetannol-3'-O-glc exhibited higher free radical scavenging activity than others. These results suggest that Rheum species extracts and their active components could be utilized for the treatment of gastritis. Furthermore, these results are expected to contribute the standardization with objectivity and reliability for Rheum species, medicinal herbs. In addition, it can contribute to the prevention of indiscriminate distribution of imitation, and the rising rate of dependence on imports of medicinal herbs, and mixing prevention of low-quality goods.

직접 알콜 연료전지는 액체인 알콜을 직접 연료전지에 공급하여 연소시킴으로써 높은 효율을 갖는 휴대용전원으로 주목받는 장치이다. 직접 알콜 연료전지에 담지체로 사용되는 탄소 소재는 넓은 표면적과 우수한 전기전도도를 가지고 있다는 장점 있으나 금속 촉매와의 상호작용이 약하여 촉매 활성에 영향을 주지 못한다. 산화물을 담지체로 사용할 경우 이러한 금속-담지체 간의 상호작용으로 인한 촉매활성 증가 및 입자성장 억제의 효과를 기대할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는, 안티몬 도핑된 주석산화물 (Sb-doped SnO2 : ATO nanoparticle)을 직접 메탄올 연료전지용 담지체어 적용하였으며 합성 과정은 다음과 같다. SnC14 5H2O SbC13, NaOH, HCl 수용액 혼합물을 삼구 플라스크에 넣고 $100^{\circ}C$ 온도에서 환류(reflux) 시킨 후 세척 및 건조하여 Air 분위기에서 열처리하였다. 합성된 산화물 수용액에 폴리올 방법으로 합성된 백금 콜로이드를 담지하였으며, 세척과 건조를 통하여 산화물에 담지된 백금 촉매를 촉매를 합성하였다. 촉매의 구조분석을 위해 XRD, TEM을 사용하였으며, 전극촉매로서의 활성을 평가하기 위해 cyclic voltammetry을 평가하였다. 본 연구에서는 백금의 담지량에 따른 Costripping voltammetry특성과 메탄올 및 에탄올 산화 반응 특성에 대하여, 탄소를 담지체로 사용한 Pt/C 촉매와 비교 평가하였다. 알콜 산화반응 평가결과, 주석산화물에 담지한 촉매가 탄소를 담지체로 사용한 촉매보다 우수한 활성을 나타내었으며 활성증가는 메탄올에 비해 에탄올 산화 반응의 경우 크게 증가하였다. 막과 비교해 보았다. $ZrO_2$ 입자는 전도성이며 동시에 친수성을 나타내기 때문에 상용 막에 비하여 함수율 및 수소이온 전도도가 우수하게 나타났다. 복합막의 이러한 물성은 $100^{\circ}C$이상의 고온에서 전해질 막 내의 물 관리를 용이하게 한다. 단위 전지 운전 온도 $130^{\circ}C$, 상대습도 37%의 운전 조건에서도 상당히 우수한 전지 성능을 보임에 따라 고온/저가습 조건에서 상용 Nafion 112 막보다 우수한 막 특성을 나타냄을 확인하였다.소/배후방사능비는 각각 $2.18{\pm}0.03,\;2.56{\pm}0.11,\;3.08{\pm}0.18,\;3.77{\pm}0.17,\;4.70{\pm}0.45$ 그리고 $5.59{\pm}0.40$이었고, $^{67}Ga$-citrate의 경우 2시간, 24시간, 48시간에 $3.06{\pm}0.84,\;4.12{\pm}0.54\;4.55{\pm}0.74 $이었다. 결론 : Transferrin에 $^{99m}Tc$을 이용한 방사성표지가 성공적으로 이루어졌고, $^{99m}Tc$-transferrin의 표지효율은 8시간까지 95% 이상의 안정된 방사성표지효율을 보였다. $^{99m}Tc$-transferrin을 이용한 감염영상을 성공적으로 얻을 수 있었으며, $^{67}Ga$-citrate 영상과 비교하여 더 빠른 시간 안에 우수한 영상을 얻을 수 있었다. 그러므로 $^{99m}Tc$<
