Hair will be persuit of beautifulness of human being in various permanent wave by many kinds of its drugs. Skin is based upon the hair which enroll the body of high living animals and have multiple membrane structure In this study used rat the effects of commercial permanent wave products to skin which are composed with L- cysteine and bases Results are as follow: the content of penetration 4 hors later with steady state and no significant changeable after 20 hours later. In cysteine groups, lag time and permeability coefficient of healthy skin is 2.22hr and 0.13$\mu\textrm{g}$/㎥ hr, lag time and permeability coefficient of old skin is 4.01 hr and 0.108 $\mu\textrm{g}$/㎥ hr . In conclusion of study lag time and permeability coefficient in old skin and wounded skin are faster than healthy skin. We notified that fine rinkle and rash of skin were changeable in the case of treating with permanent wave drugs than normal skin.

Variations of the seventeen amino acids(aspartic acid, threonine, serine, glutamic acid, proline, glycine, alanine, cystein, valine, methionine, isoleucine, leucine, tyrosine, phenylalanine, histidine, lysine, arginine) were analyzed in human hair sample by amino acid auto analyzer(AAA). The effect of bleaching and permanent wave manipulation on the amino acid composition of hair were investigated. Hair samples were collected from 10 males in their thirties. Hair samples were treated with 10 mL of 6 N hydrochloric acid at $110^{\circ}C$ for 24 h and analysed by AAA. The results showed that the amino acid content of normal hair(73.9%) decreased to 71.5% and 69.3% after bleaching and permanent wave treatment, respectively. Furthermore, mean contents of lysine and tyrosine in amino acids showed obviously decreased about 25% by permanent wave and bleaching treatment. On the other hand, serine, cystein, leucine and histidine were not changed.

To increase the productivity of in vitro development, the antioxidants have been used for culture system of bovine oocytes and embryos. However, comparative studies on these molecules are rare and direct beneficial effects on blastocyst production cannot be discriminated for best results. The study was conducted to determine the influence of N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), N-acetyl-L-cysteine amide (NACA), glutathione (GSH) and cysteamime (CYS) on maturation competence of COCs from GV to MII stage and productivity of blastocyst formation during in vitro fertilization and culture. There was no difference among maturation rates of oocytes to metaphase II with polar body with antioxidants for any of the treatment groups (p>0.05). However, the significant improvement on the rate of blastocysts ($32.3{\pm}5.0%$) was found in 0.1 mM CYS treatment than 0.3 mM NAC, 0.2 mM NACA or 0.5mM GSH (p<0.05). The addition of NAC ($18.8{\pm}3.7%$) or NACA ($21.2{\pm}3.9%$) did not improve development competence to morula and blastocysts than control ($24.4{\pm}4.1%$) and GSH ($26.5{\pm}5.0%$) (p>0.05). Our study showed that medium supplementation with CYS during IVM and IVC improved the rate of bovine embryo development but not with NAC, NACA and GSH addition.

A fermentation study of the recombinant Escherichia coli system has been tired to overproduce a recombinant Paragonimus westermani cysteine proteinase, rPwCP1. Using the modified LB media, main cultures and chemical induction with IPTG were carried out to examine the possibility of secretory protein overproduction at high cell density culture. As a result, the target protein of rPwCP1, purified by metal affinity chromatography and gel filtration, has been shown at 50.8 kDa on SDS-PAGE, and its final concentration turns out to be 350mg/L.

In order to maximize hydrogen production by Enterobacter cloacae YJ-1, anaerobic hydrogen producing bacteria, the medium composition was optimized. Glucose was better than other carbon sources in hydrogen production and its production was 975.4 mL/L at $2\%$ (w/v) for 48 h. Organic nitrogen sources were more effective than inorganic nitrogen sources and also yeast extract among organic nitrogens was the most effective in hydrogen production. Among metal ions, $Na_2MoO_4$ was most effective, and its production was 1753.3mL/L at $0.04\%$ (w/v). Addition of amino acid was very effective with compare to another components of medium, and cystein was most effective among them. Under the optimum medium obtained in batch culture, semi-batch culture in order to produce continuous hydrogen was run. The highest hydrogen production was earned at $3\%$(w/v) of glucose and the amount was 2215.4 mL/L.

To investigate the effects of pre-treatment and packaging materials for dried persimmon during 6 month storage, the citric acid, salt, xylitol, L-cystein was pre-treated on dried persimmon, and then packed with LDPE film($0.06\;{\mu}m$) and N/LDPE($0.06\;{\mu}m$). The rate of moisture contents, browning, fungi and weight loss of dried persimmon pre-treated with citric acid, salt, xylitol, L-cystein were changed a little in N/LDPE, but were highly changed in LDPE. The commodity of dried persimmon packed with N/LDPE was also higher than that of LDPE.

Polyphenol oxidase from Jerusalem artichoke(Helianthus tuberosus L.) tubers was partially purified by precipitation with ammonium sulfate, followed by gel filtration on Sephadex G-100. The enzyme showed maximal activity at pH 6.5 and $4^{\circ}C$. Kinetic studies indicated $K_{m}$ value of 3 mM for catechol and activation energy of 72.6 kcal/mole. As for substrate specificity of polyphenol oxidase the enzyme showed high affinity towards diphenol compounds, but not towards monophenols. The enzamatic browning was completely inhibited at 1 mM concentration of L-ascorbic acid, sodium hydrosulfite and L-cystein(HCl). The activity of polyphenol oxidase in 0.1 M potassium phosphate buffer(pH 6.5) was fairly stable for a week at $4^{\circ}C$, while it decreased remarkably at $25^{\circ}C$.

Iron has a crucial role in growth as part of metalo-proteins like haemoglobin or myoglobin, enzymes; they are also involved in energetic reactions. Iron plays a vital role in fertility. At high doses, Iron has a harmful consequence on the reproductive system, which can be strongly reflected the final stage of spermatogenesis. Nutritional products are claiming to use nanotechnology and it is important to recognize the potential toxicity of nano-sized nutrients. Recently iron nanoparticles were proposed as a food additive for poultry. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of L-cystein coated iron oxide nanoparticles on reproductive performance in male quails. The results of Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer, Alternating Gradient Force Magnetometer and Scaning Electron Microscopy showed that iron oxide nanoparticles was produced and have been coated with L-cycstein (Fe₃O₄-Cys NPs). A total of 100 one-week-old quail chicks were randomly placed to five groups of five replicates. Four quails (two male and two females) were raised in an individual cage for each replicate. The five experimental treatment diets consisted; negative control diet, with no Iron supplementation; positive control diet supplemented with 60 mg/kg of Fe₃O₄; treatment diets supplemented with 0.6, 6 and 60 mg/kg of L-cystein coated iron oxide nanoparticles. The hemoglobin, Red blood cell, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, gonadal somatic index, daily sperm production, total testicular sperm and sperm viability of the male quails that were fed with diet supplemented by 0.6 mg/kg of Fe₃O₄-Cys NPs were improved as compare with negative control. This study showed that not only the use of the Fe₃O₄-Cys nanoparticles had no side effects but also it can be used as a feed additive to improve the reproductive performance in male quails.

A series of S-(2,2-diethoxycarbonyl-1-phenylethyl)-L-cysteine derivatives (10a-e) were synthesized from the reaction of $\beta$$\beta$-diethoxycarbonylstyrene with L-cysteine in 1:1 aqueous methanol. Thus, S-(2,2-diethoxycarbonyl-1-phenylethyl)-L-cysteine( 10a), S-[2,2-diethoxycarbonyl-1-(3',4'-methylendioxy)ph enylethyl]-L-cysteine (10b), S-[2,2-diethoxycarbonyl-1-(3',4',5'-trimethoxy)phe nylethyl]-L-cyseine (10c), S-[2,2-diethoxycarbonyl-1-(p-hydroxy)phenylethyl] -L-cysteine (10d), S-[2,2-diethoxycarbonyl-1-(p-methoxy)phenylethyl] -L-cysteine (10e) were obtained in moderate to excellent yields. The structure of the adducts was characterized by analytical and spectral data. The effects of pH upon the product yields were also briefly examined.
