Substitution effect of white radish' by-product (WRB) and tunic of sea squirt (TSS) for Undaria in feed on growth and carcass composition of abalone was determined. Eight-hundred forty juveniles were distributed into 12 containers. Three formulated diets were prepared in triplicate. A 15% Undaria was included in the control diet. The 15% Undaria was substituted with a same amount of WRB and TSS, referred to as the DRG and TSS diets, respectively. Finally, dry Undaria was also prepared to compare effect of the formulated diets on performance of abalone. The experimental diets were fed to abalone once a day at a satiation level with a little leftover. The feeding trial lasted for 16 weeks. Crude protein, crude lipid, and ash content of the experimental diets changed over all period of time. Higher crude protein and lipid and ash contents retained in all formulated diets compared to the Undaria were observed at 24 and 48 h after seawater immersion. Survival of abalone was not affected by the experimental diets. Weight gain and specific growth rate (SGR) of abalone fed the TSS diet was greater than all other diets. Weight gain and SGR of abalone fed the control diet was not different from those of abalone fed the WRB diet. Proximates of the soft body of abalone was affected by the diets. In conclusion, WRB and TSS are the promising feed ingredients to replace Undaria in abalone feed; especially, TSS is superior to either Undaria or WRB. The formulated diets produced improved growth performance of abalone over the single Undaria.

Objectives This study was performed to investigate the effects of Bujasasim-tang ethanol extract (BST) on oxidative stress, inflammation and osteoarthritic rat model. Methods To ensure safety of BST, heavy metal levels were measured and cytotoxicity test was done. In vitro, To evaluate antioxidative effects of BST, total phenolic contents, 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2'-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) scavenging activity, reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were measured. Also, to evaluate anti-inflammatory effects of BST treated group, total nitric oxide (NO) and pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-$1{\beta}$, IL-6, TNF-${\alpha}$) levels were measured in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. In vivo, We injected MIA $50{\mu}l$ (60 mg/ml) into knee joints of rats to induce osteoarthritis. Rats were divided into total 3 groups (normal, control, BST treated group, each n=7). Normal group was not treated at all without inducing osteoarthritis and taken normal diet. Control group was induced osteoarthritis by MIA and taken with 2 ml of distilled water once a day for 4 weeks. BST treated group was induced osteoarthritis by MIA and taken BST 2 ml (200 mg/kg/mouse) once a day for 4 weeks. We evaluated dynamic weight bearing with the Incapacitance Test Meter. At the end of experiment, the rats were sacrificed to observe the functions of liver and kidney, changes of WBC, neutrophil, lymphocyte, monocyte levels in blood, to evaluate the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, tissue inhibitor of metallopreteinases-1 (TIMP-1), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), prostaglandin $E_2$ ($PGE_2$), leukotriene $B_4$ ($LTB_4$) within serum. We observed change of articular structures by Hematoxylin & Eosin (H&E), safranin-O staining method and measured amount of cartilage by micro CT-arthrography. Statistical analysis was done by unpaired student's t-test with significance level at p<0.05 in SPSS 11.0 for windows. Results 1. Safety of the BST was identified. 2. AST, ALT, BUN, creatinine levels of BST treated group were within normal limit. In vitro, 1. DPPH and ABTS free radical scavenging activities of BST showed dose-dependent increase. 2. ROS production were significantly decreased. 3. Total nitric oxide (NO) and IL-$1{\beta}$ production were decreased. 4. IL-6 and TNF-${\alpha}$ production were significantly decreased. In vivo, 1. Weight bearing ability was significantly increased. 2. WBC, neutrophil, lymphocyte, monocyte levels in blood were decreased. 3. IL-$1{\beta}$ and TNF-${\alpha}$ levels in serum were significantly decreased. and the IL-6 level was decreased. 4. TIMP-1, MMP-9, $LTB_4$, $PGE_2$ levels in serum were significantly decreased. 5. Cartilage volume of BST treated group was significantly increased. Also changes of cartilage, synovial membrane, fibrous tissue were suppressed. Conclusions The results obtained in this study Bujasasim-tang have effects of antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, relieve pain and protection of cartilage. Therefore we expect that Bujasasim-tang is effective treatment for osteoarthritis.

종래의 산업폐수 처리기술로는 중금속 함유 폐수에 수용성의 금속염을 첨가하여 가성소다 혹은 소석회를 이용하여 pH를 조정하고 고분자 응집제를 첨가하여 금속의 수산화물을 생성시켜 이를 부상 혹은 침전시켜 Sludge화하여 제거하는 방법이 주로 사용되고 있다. 그 외 질소, 인, 유기물이 함유된 폐수의 경우에는 Biological Oxidation Techniques, 활성탄 흡착방식이 주로 채택되고 있다.[1-3] 이러한 폐수처리기술은 화학약품 사용량이 과다하고 이는 Sludge 생성량을 증대하고 2차 폐수처리가 필요로 하는 경우가 많고, 처리장이 면적이 넓어야 하고 대용량의 Sludge 제거창치가 필요하여 고비용의 처리공정으로 문제점을 가지고 있다.[2-3] 이에 본 연구에서는 이러한 기존 기술의 문제점을 보완할 수 있고 기존 기술로는 완벽하게 처리하기 곤란한 악성 폐수들에 대한 새로운 고도처리기술로 초전도 마그네트를 이용한 고구배 자기분리기술에 대한 기초연구를 하였다. 본 연구에서 사용한 고구배 자기분리 시스템은 무헬륨 전도냉각방식으로 자기분리를 위해 사용한 필터는 SUS 430 재질의 메쉬 형태로 제작하여 실험하였다. 또한, 자기분리 처리를 위한 전처리 공정으로는 응집제를 첨가하여 자기분리 효율을 높이고자 하였다. 자기분리 처리대상수로는 포항제철에 압연 강판에 사용되는 냉각수를 대상으로 자기분리 처리에 대한 효과를 실험하였다. 또한, 자기분리에 대한 특성을 평가하기 위해 강자성의 $Fe_3O_4$ 미세자성분말을 첨가하여 처리수내의 들어있는 유기물질에 대해 자기분리 자장 및 유속에 대한 처리효율을 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 자기분리 처리는 1~6 Tesla에서 자기필터는 디스크 형태로 다층으로 연속적으로 적층하였으며, 처리유속은 1~4 l/min으로 하였다. 고농도인 처리폐수를 자가분리 인가 자장에 따라 처리하여 고농도에서는 70%, 저농도에서는 98 %까지 처리되었다. 또한, 자기분리용 필터는 SUS 430 재질의 mesh 망을 사용하였으며 인가자장 및 유속변화에 대한 실험 결과 탁도 및 농도는 필터 크기의 영향은 거의 차이가 없었으며 단지 인가자장 및 유속에 따라서 지수적으로 감소하였다. 자기분리된 용액 내 $Fe_3O_4$ 입도 분석 결과 자기분리 이전에 분포하던 $10\sim20\;{\mu}m$의 입자는 거의 제거되었으며 2 ${\mu}m$ 이하의 입자들은 실험 횟수에 따라 점점 직경이 작은 쪽으로 분포가 좁아졌으며, 마그네타이트의 자화율을 분석한 결과 약 0.8 Tesla에서 포화 되었으며 처리수의 탁도 및 농도가 자장에 따라 감소하는 것으 알 수 있었다.

The virus infecting French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) was identified as Bean Common Mosaic Virus(BCMV) based on the host range, symptomatology, serology, morphology of virus particles and inclusion bodies. Isolates of BCMV were obtained from seeds of P. vulgaris collected at Suweon, Jangsu and Jinju in Korea. French bean produced vein clearing, mosaic, stunting and leaf curling. Symptom of Chenopodium quinoa was local lesions on the inoculated leaves, not on the upper leaves. The electron micrograph of the virus from French bean was flexuous approximately 750nm in length. Cylindrical and pinwheel cytoplasmic inclusion bodies were observed in French bean leaf infected by BCMV. BCMV from the French bean was transmitted through seed and green peach aphid, Myzus persicae. The thermal inactivation point was $55\~60^{\circ}C$, dilution end point was $10^{-3}\~10^{-5}$ and longevity in vitro was $2\~3$ days for BCMV from French bean. The isolates of BCMV reacted positively against BCMV antiserum. The extract of BCMV infected bean leaves, Azukibean mosaic virus (AZMV) and Cowpea aphid borne mosaic virus(CaMV) also reacted with BCMV antiserum, however, BCMV and CaMV showed the spur in agar gel diffusion test.

Development of new burning additives against nitrate salts used in past tobacco industry examined to reduce harmful nitrogenous compounds in smoke. Among several additives treated, the best effect by means of elevation of combustibility and reduction of tar and nicotin contents in smoke was observed by adding sodium citrate from 0.6 to 1% in tabacco. The following results were obtained through investigating combustibility, chemical composition, and differential thermal analysis of the tabacco treated with the buring additives. 1) The close relation was observed between the levels of the smoke components and combustibility of the treated tabacco. 2) Differential thermal analysis (D.T.A.) of citrate-treated tobacco shows an increase in H. Value and a decrease in L. Value as compared with other tobacco sample. 3) The D.T.A. of sodium-nitrate and sodium-citrate shows that sodium-nitrate gives endothermal reaction at $270^{\circ}$ and $310^{\circ}$ and sodium citrate gives exothermal reaction at $290^{\circ}$ with endothermal reaction at $170^{\circ}\;and\;310^{\circ}$. 4) $Na_3-citrate-treated$ tobacco shows an increase in smoke generation between room temperature and $350^{\circ}$ (Zone A) and a decrease in smoke generation between $350^{\circ}$ and $900^{\circ}$ (Zone B) compared with untreated tobacco. The smoke from these tobacco also contains lower levels of Tar, Nicotine, Phenols, Nitrogen oxides and Benzpyrene, and elevation of static Burning rate.

The effect of hydrocortisone or Panax ginseng, and/or a combination of hydrocortisone and Panax ginseng on phytohaemagglutinin (PHA-P)-induced transformation of peripheral blood lymphocytes were studied in 4 normal healthy adult volunteers. Increasing concentrations of Panax ginseng 0.16-1.60${\mu}g$/ml caused a doserelated inhibition of PHA-P transformation of lymphocytes. A combination of 500${\mu}g$/ml hydrocortisone and 0.80${\mu}g$/ml Panax ginseng produced a greater suppression of PHA-P stimulation than either drug used alone. This suggests that Panax ginseng has a steroid-like effect in vitro, and may have a potentiating effect with hydrocortisone on T-cell mediated immunity. The in vivo effects of Panax ginseng were further studied in 6 healthy adult volunteers. PHA-P transformation studies were performed before and after Panax ginseng capsules were taken for 2 weeks and at a higher dosage at 4 weeks. Our results showed that in 3 subjects, there was significant inhibition of PHA-P transformation at 4 weeks.

Cryoextraction (a freeze concentration using an instrument) can increase the sugar concentration in grape juice by reducing its water content, similar to the natural freezing of grapes for natural ice wine. In this study, fermentation of freeze-concentrated Campbell Early grape (Vitis labruscana) juice to 36 $^{\circ}Bx$ was carried out using Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains D8 and S13 isolated from Korean grapes. During the fermentation, strains S13 and D8 showed rapid sugar reduction and alcohol production compared with S. cerevisiae Fermivin$^{(R)}$ used as a control. After nine-day fermentation, the residual sugar contents were lower in W13(9.77%) and D8 wine(9.07) than that in Fermivin$^{(R)}$ wine(14.0%). Total acid content was high in the D8>S13>Fermivin$^{(R)}$ wine, in that order. The acetaldehyde content was highest in the D8 wine and lowest in the Fermivin$^{(R)}$ wine, among the three. The methanol content was slightly higher in the S13 and D8 wines than in the Fermivin$^{(R)}$ wine. In the sensory evaluation, the S13 wine exhibited the highest score in flavor and taste among the three wines. Both the two S13 and D8 wines exhibited higher scores than Fermivin$^{(R)}$ wine in overall preference.

Ultra-fine $Co_{1+x}$F $e_{2-}$2x/ $Ti_{x}$ $O_4$ferrite powders have been prepared by the sol-gel method. The crystallographic and magnetic properties of the sample have been investigated by means of x-ray diffraction, Mossbauer spetroscopy and vibrating sample magnetometry. The formation of nano crystallized particles is confirmed. The x-ray diffractions of all samples with various compositions clearly indicate the presence of spinel structure. The Mossbauer spectra could be fitted as the superposition of two sextets due to F $e^{3+}$ A-site and B-site. The IS and QS values nearly constant with substituted Co-Ti contents, whereas $H_{hf}$ of B-site decreases with increasing Co-Ti substitution in $Co_{1+x}$F $e_{2-}$2x/ $Ti_{x}$ $O_4$. The magnetic behaviour of powders shows that the saturation magnetization and the coercivity decrease with increasing x in $Co_{1+x}$F $e_{2-}$2x/ $Ti_{x}$ $O_4$.$.X>.
