This study was carried out to investigate the effect of energy transport using capillary pumped loop with PVA sponge wick. The results obtained from this study are as follows. The configuration of capillary pumped loop was adequate and PVA sponge was of great use for the manufacture of capillary pump. The energy transport reached maximum when the working fluid amount was 750cc the wall temperature distribution indicated high values through out the entire length of the pipe. As the opening of a nozzle was increased, energy transport was increased but the effect was decreased.

Pectus excavatum is rare, but it is the most common type of sternal congenital disorder. There are many surgical methods to correct pectus excavatum such as the Ravitch method, Wada method, Silastic mold method, and the Nuss operation. We report a case of minimal invasive surgery for pectus excavatum using a polyvinyl alcohol sponge.

A new glycerol ether has been isolated from a marine sponge Stelletta sp. By bioactivity-guided fractionation. The structure was established on the basis of NMR and MS analyses. The compound was evaluated for cytotoxicity against a small panel of five human tumor cell lines and exhibited significant cytotoxicity.

Bioactivity guided fractionation of the cultured filtrates of Aspergillus versicolor, which was derived from a marine sponge Petrosia sp., yielded three polyketides: decumbenones A (1),B (2), and versiol (3). These compounds were identified on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic and MS analysis. The absolute configuration was defined by the modified Mosher's method. The isolated compounds were tested for cytotoxicity against a panel of five human solid tumor cell lines and antibacterial activity against twenty clinically isolated methicillin-resistant strains. This is the first report on the isolation of these compounds from a marine source.

해면동물 P. incrustans 시료를 거제도 해금강 연안에서 SCUBA 다이빙에 의하여 채집하였으며, 채집한 시료를 메탄올로 반복해서 추출한 후에 다시 dichloromethane으로 반복 추출하였다 얻어진 유기 조추출물을 n-butanol과 물을 이용하여 분배한 후 n-butanol 층은 다시 15% 메탄올 수용액층과 n-hexane으로 분배하였다. n-Hexane 분배 분획에 대한 silica flash chromatography와 이렇게 얻어진 크로마토그래피 분획에 대한 반복적인 HPLC에 의해서 saringosterol을 분리할 수 있었으며, 이차원적 핵자기 공명 분광기법에 의하여 이 화합물을 구성하는 탄소원자들의 위치를 정확히 지정할 수 있었다. 이 스테로이드는 아직까지 우리나라에서 채집한 해양생물에서는 분리된 적이 없으며 이 화합물의 탄소 위치에 대한 정확한 지정도 처음으로 이루어졌다.

The ethanolic extracts of two shallow water sponge species collected from the Aegean Sea afforded thirteen terpenoids in total, two of which were determined to be new. The structure elucidation of the terpenoids was carried out by spectroscopic techniques and comparison with related authentic compounds. The terpenoids have also been assayed for antibacterial activity. This is the first report about the metabolites isolated from the marine sponges of the Aegean Sea in Turkey.

A new species of harpacticoid copepod Alteuthoides affinis associated with the sponge Callyspongia elegans (Thiele) was collected from offshore waters of Cheju Island, Korea, and is described with illustrations. In this genus, only one species, A. kootare Hicks, has been known to occur in association with an hexacnellid sponge from New Zealand. The new species is similar to A. kootare in the general morphologies such as the shape of body, oral appendages, and thoraxic legs. However, it can be separated from A. kootare by the expanded genital double semite, P1 exopod bearing only one claw without reduced accessary nail, and acute rostrum.

Aloe (Aloe vera L.), cucumber (Cucumis sativus L. var. tuberculatus Gabaj.) and sponge.gourd (Luffa cylindrica L.) are well utilized in Asian countries as traditional medicines and cosmetics, or foods. And we carried out an experiment to see if there are some specific ratios among trace metals on the plants. Though the metal concentrations varied significantly depending on the sampling periods, aloe gel is high in iron (Fe) and calcium (Ca). Cucumber fruit juice is also high in iron (Fe) and potassium (K). Sponge.gourd sap contains a high amount of zinc (Zn) and calcium (Ca). The uses of the previous 3 plant parts are considered to have some relations to their different ratios and of their trace metals.

As part of a program to discover bioactive natural products from marine organisms, two new enantiomers, ent-3,6-Epidioxy-4,6,8,10-tetraethyltetradeca-7,11-dienoic acid and ent-[3,5-Diethyl-5-(2-ethyl-hex-3-enyl)-5H-furan-2-ylidene]-acetic acid methyl ether, were isolated from a sponge Plakortis sp. These compounds showed strong in vitro antiproliferative effects on promastigotes of Leishmania mexicania, flagellate protozoan that causes leishmaniasis. Structures were assumed by interpretation of NMR spectroscopic data and optical rotation. Both compounds exhibited significant antileishmanial activities in vitro with $IC_{50}$ of 1.0-23.0 ${\mu}g/ml$.
