본 연구는 Lactobacillus paracasei와 Lactobacillus rhamnosus가 요구르트에 오염된 효모의 증식을 억제해서 품질을 향상시키기 위하여 진행하였다. 효모 투입 후 저장기간 동안 효모의 증식 속도는 Lactobacillus paracasei와 Lactobacillus rhamnosus가 포함된 실험구가 대조구에 비해 최소 1일에서 최대 4일까지 지연시켰다. 스웰링 현상은 대조구에 비해 실험구가 효모의 증식 속도를 일정 기간 지연시켜 주는 효과가 있었다. 따라서 요구르트 제조 시 Lactobacillus paracasei와 Lactobacillus rhamnosus를 사용한다면, 저장기간 동안의 품질 안정성이 향상되어 유통기한을 연장할 수 있고, 이로 인해 발효유 제조업체의 생산성과 소비자의 식품 안전성이 향상되는 것으로 사료된다. 또한 Lactobacillus paracasei와 Lactobacillus rhamnosus가 요구르트의 품질 기준인 후산 발효와 관능에 미치는 영향에 대해 조사하였다. 요구르트 제조 후 $10^{\circ}C$에서 저장할 경우 대조구에 비해 실험구의 산도 변화 폭은 미미하여 후산 발효가 거의 일어나지 않았다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이는 제조일로부터 유통기한 만료일까지 일정하게 관능적 풍미를 유지시켜 줄 수 있다는 것을 의미하며, 이로 인해 소비자에 대한 관능적 품질향상을 꾀할 수 있다. 그리고 Lactobacillus paracasei와 Lactobacillus rhamnosus가 추가된 실험구는 대조구에 비해 조직감이 상대적으로 좋았으며, 풍미나 맛 또한 우수하였다. 즉, 요구르트에 Lactobacillus paracasei와 Lactobacillus rhamnosus의 사용은 효모의 증식 억제를 통해 제품 품질의 안전성 향상, 후산 발효 억제로 인한 품질의 균일성 증대, 조직감 및 풍미 향상으로 인한 관능적 품질 향상에 긍정적인 영향을 끼칠 것으로 판단된다.

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of seminal vesicle fluid (SVF) on the acrosome reaction (AR) occurred spontaneously or induced by $Ca^{2+}$ ionophore A23187, follicular fluid, and progesterone in mouse epididymal sperm. SVF was divided into high (MW>10 kD) and low (MW<10 kD) fractions by ultrafiltration. The low MW fraction of SVF decreased the rate of spontaneous AR, however the high MW fraction did not. It suggested that the low MW fraction of SVF might have contained decapacitation factor(s) responsible for prolonging of time need for capacitation. When sperm preincubated for 60 min in the presence of SVF, the rate of AR induced by A23187 was decreased, but prolongation of preincubation time for 120 min significantly potentiated the AR by A23187. It suggested that addition of SVF into sperm preincubation medium imposed the epididymal sperm a condition similar to ejaculation. AR induced by human follicular fluid or progesterone was also inhibited by SVF. It suggested that substance in SVF might have affected AR of mouse sperm by inhibiting the interaction between AR inducing ligands and sperm surface receptors involved in acrosomal exocytosis.

Xylitol is well-known to have an anti-caries effect by inhibiting the replication of cariogenic bacteria. In addition, xylitol enhances saliva secretion. However, the precise molecular mechanism of xylitol on saliva secretion is yet to be elucidated. Thus, in this study, we aimed to investigate the stimulatory effect of xylitol on saliva secretion and to further evaluate the involvement of xylitol in muscarinic type 3 receptor (M3R) signaling. For determining these effects, we measured the saliva flow rate following xylitol treatment in healthy individuals and patients with dry mouth. We further tested the effects of xylitol on M3R signaling in human salivary gland (HSG) cells using real-time quantitative reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction, immunoblotting, and immunostaining. Xylitol candy significantly increased the salivary flow rate and intracellular calcium release in HSG cells via the M3R signaling pathway. In addition, the expressions of M3R and aquaporin 5 were induced by xylitol treatment. Lastly, we investigated the distribution of M3R and aquaporin 5 in HSG cells. Xylitol was found to activate M3R, thereby inducing increases in $Ca^{2+}$ concentration. Stimulation of the muscarinic receptor induced by xylitol activated the internalization of M3R and subsequent trafficking of aquaporin 5. Taken together, these findings suggest a molecular mechanism for secretory effects of xylitol on salivary epithelial cells.

The inhibitory effect of rice(Oryza sartiva L., illpumbyeo) against mutagenicity induced by tryptophan pyrolysates were investigated using Salmonella typhimurium reversion assay. Both methanol extracts of obtained from brown and white rice were found to possess strong activites of inhibiting the mutagenicities of 3-amino-1,4-dimethyl-5H-pyriod[4,3-b]indol(Trp-P-1) and 3-amino-1-methyl-5H-pyrido[4,3-b]indol(Trp-P-2) on Salmonella typhimurium reversion assay. As the concentration of methanol extract increased, inhibitory effect on mutagenicity increased but reached at steady state as inhibition rate of 90% when the concentration was above 10mg/plate. There was no significant difference(p>0.05) in inhibitory effect of methanol extracts between brown and white rice against tryptophan pyrolysates.

This research was carried out to investigate the corrosion prevention effect in the water distribution system by galvanized zinc-brass pipe which is using potential between brass and zinc. As a result of this study, pH and conductivity of influent were constant in spite of its installation, and it was difficult to estimate the effect of the installation with temporary increased and reduced concentration of Zn and Fe ions, respectively. However, since the corrosion rate of the steel coupon with galvanized zinc-brass pipe was relatively low, it has an effect of inhibiting corrosion.

Seventeen lactic acid bacterial strains (LAB) were isolated using MRS agar medium from Jeotgal, a Korean fermented food, purchased at the Jukdo market of Pohang. To identify the strains isolated, they were tested by examining their cell morphologies, gram-staining, catalase activity, arginine hydrolase activity, D-L lactate form and carbohydrate fermentation. According to the phenotypic characteristics, three strains were tentatively identified as Lactobacillus spp., ten were Enterococcus spp. (or Streptococcus spp., or Pediococcus spp.) and the rest were Leuconostoc spp. (or Weissella spp.). Five strains among 17 were chosen by preliminary bacteriocin activity test. Four bacterial strains which inhibited both indicator microorganisms were identified by 16S rRNA sequencing. The results are as follows; Leuconostoc mesenteroides (HK 4), Leuconostoc mesenteroides (HK 5), Leuconostoc mesenteroides(HK 11), Streptococcus salivarius(HK 8). In order to check LAB which are showing a high survival rate in gut, we investigated three strains inhibiting both indicator microorganisms in artificial gastric acid and bile juice -all except HK8. The three strains mentioned above grew in extreme low acid conditions.

To investigate the effects of hydrocortisone on new-born rat cardiac endothelial cells in culture, the endothelial cells were isolated by means of enzyme-cocktail method. The cells were cultivated in Lees modified Dulbeco\ulcorner medium and 10[M or 10[M of hydrocortisone was added to the medium. The cells were harvested or coverglass and processed for thiamin pyrophosphatase reaction and Feulgen reaction. The enzymatic activities of Golgi complex, number of cells and number of large nucleated[more than tetraploid] cells were counted and discussed for their significance. The results were summarized as follows; 1. Hydrocortisone seemed to accelerate the rate of recovery of cardiac endothelial cells from isolation damage. 2. Endothelial cells treated with hydrocortisone revealed strong positive reaction to thiamine pyrophosphatase in early culture and 10 M group had stronger reaction than that of 10 AM group 3. Hydrocortisone had inhibiting effects on endothelial proliferation and the higher the concentration of the reagent was the stronger effects. 4. Hydrocortisone inhibited the appearance of large nucleate cells in endothelial cell population. 5. Hydrocortisone seemed to suppress the nuclear DNA synthesis.

Intravenously administered total water extract of Hoelen, (Pachymae fungus) in a dose of 10mg/kg and its methanol lextract, in a smaller dose than total water extract, produced significantly increase on urinary volume, sodium nad potassium excretion, and osmolar nad free water clearances. Increasing the doses produced more pronounced renal responses. Glomerular filtration rate and renal plasma flow changed littl with both extract. On the contrary, water extract from residue obtained on extraction with organic solvents exhibited no significant changes on the parameters of the renal function. In experiments, in which the total water extract was infused directly into a renal artery and urines from both ureters were collected separetely, a small dose of 0.3mg/kg/min showed no diuresis, but a large dose of 1.0mg/kg/min elicited diuretic action even on the contralateral kindneys. It is, therfore, concluded that Hoelen induces diuresis, mainly by inhibiting reabsorption of electrolytes in the renal tubules, and that the renotropic action may be mediated by some endogenous humoral substances.

Corrosion release behavior of Alloy 690 in high-temperature water was investigated under the conditions of injected Zn concentrations of 0 ppb, 10 ppb and 50 ppb. A protective oxide film composed of Zn(Fe_xCr_1-x)₂O₄ and Cr₂O₃ was formed with Zn injection, resulting in a better corrosion resistance. In comparison with the Zn-free condition, the corrosion release rate under the Zn-injection conditions was smaller. The corrosion release inhibiting factors were 1.7 and 1.9 under the conditions of 10 ppb and 50 ppb Zn-injection respectively. A foreseen application of the corrosion and corrosion release rates has been proposed and discussed.
