We isolated a sphingonyelinase (SMase) inhibitor, which would be a potential reagent to regulate cell proliferation, oncogenesis, and inflammation, from a strain of Streptomyces sp.. In this paper, we report the optimal conditions for the production of SMase inhibitor, designed as sphinin, from Streptomyces sp. F50970. The optimal carbon and nitrogen source were 1% soluble starch and 0.05%-0.15% trypton. Most of monosaccharides and high concentration of soluble starch above 1.0% caused falling of pH and sphinin production. Zn2+, Cu2+, Fe2+, Mn2+, and Co2+inhibited cell growth and the production of sphinin. Inorganic phosphate promoted the sphinin production. Optimal initial pH for the production of sphinin was 7.5-8.0. Addition of CaCO3 to the medium resulted in an increase of inhibitor production. Based on these results, we designed a fermentation medium for the production of a SMase inhibitor, sphinin, from Streptomyces sp. F50970.

The corrosion protection methods of reinforcing steel in concrete are the various methods such as increasing thickness of cover concrete, using of reinforcing bars coated with epoxy, dosage of corrosion inhibitor as concrete admixture, cathodic protection method and etc. The most economical method of them will be the corrosion protection method using corrosion inhibitor as concrete admixture. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to investigate the performance of corrosion protection of ordinary strength and high strength concrete using corrosion inhibitor, respectively. For this purpose, after manufacturing ordinary strength and high strength concrete with and without corrosion inhibitor, the accelerated corrosion tests for reinforcing steel were conducted according to the periodic cycles (140 day) of wetting ($65^{\circ}C$, 90% R.H.) and drying period ($15^{\circ}C$, 65% R.H.). As a result, th high strength concrete using corrosion inhibitor showed an excellent performance of corrosion protection.

To develop a new anti-dementia acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor from edible mushrooms, AChE inhibitory activities were determined on water and ethanol extracts of various edible mushrooms from oriental medicine markets and agriculture markets. As a result, the 70% ethanol extract from Pholiota adiposa fruiting body had the highest AChE inhibitory activity of 30.6, and its water extract also had an AChE inhibitory activity of 23.8%. Therefore, we finally selected P. adiposa as a potent anti-dementia AChE inhibitor-containing mushroom. The AChE inhibitor of P. adiposa was maximally extracted when its fruiting body was treated with water for 3hr at $70^{\circ}C$ and 70% ethanol for 12 hr at $70^{\circ}C$, respectively.

The objectives of the current studies were to establish the optimal conditions for the production of extracellular protease inhibitor in a strain of Streptomyces fradiae. As results, it was found that cell specific growth rate was very critical for the production of protease inhibitor and the optimum specific growth rate was found to be 0.05 h$^{-1}$ . Dissolved oxygen tension and pH were also important to regulate the inhibitor production. The inhibitory mode of the purified inhibitor to .alpha.-chymotrypsin was found to be competitive (K$_{i}$=5.5*10$^{-7}$ M). One mole of inhibitor could bind two moles of .alpha.-chymotrypsin and the complex has very low dissociation constant.t.

Tyrosine kinase inhibitor is known to prolong progression free survival in radioiodine refractory thyroid cancer patients. Fatigue/asthenia/malaise is one of most common adverse events by the tyrosine kinase inhibitor treatment, and management of the adverse event is important to keep the drug medication longer which is essential for the survival benefit. In the case report, a radioiodine refractory thyroid cancer patient receiving tyrosine kinase inhibitor experienced severe fatigue, and a pathologic fracture of right humerus occurred by slipping down which was tightly linked with the adverse event of the drug. The pathologic fracture was surgically well managed and the adverse event was well controlled by supportive managements combined with dose reduction of the tyrosine kinase inhibitor. The drug administration to the patient was kept more than 1 year without progression of the disease.

Streptomyces sp. producing $\beta$-lactamase inhibitor were isolated from soil. The culture conditions for the production of the $\beta$-lactamase inhibitor were evaluated and isolation produce of the $\beta$-lactamase inhibitor from the culture broth was also established. Some characters of the partially purified $\beta$-lactamase were determined.

The corrosion of the embedded steel rebars and the consequent deterioration of the reinforced concrete structure has become a challenging concern to the construction industries for the fiscal deficit. However, corrosion inhibitors are potential and being widely used for corrosion mitigation to solve such problems. This study has been focused on the mixed type of corrosion inhibitor where one component of the corrosion inhibitor is organic and another one is inorganic material. 0.1 (M) triethanolamine (TEA) and 0.01 (M) sodium hexametaphosphate (SHMP) have been mixed in distilled water to produce the mixed inhibitor. Studies of the steel rebar corrosion in chloride contaminated (3.5 wt.% NaCl) concrete pore (CCCP) solution has been conducted using different concentrations of corrosion inhibitor. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) method is involved to understand the corrosion behaviour of the steel rebars at different exposure durations.
