Quantitative analysis of (+)-catechin (C), (-)-epigallocatechin (EGC), (-)-epicatechin (EC), (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), (-)-epicatechin gallate (ECG) and caffeine in commercial green tea was carried out by HPLC employing gradient elution of 0.1% acetic acid and acetonitrile on ODS column. The optimized HPLC method provided satisfactory linearity, accuracy and precision. The relationship between the concentration of the components and cultivated region of the commercial green tea was not significant, while the concentration of EGCG, ECG and caffeine decreased significantly in the later harvested green tea samples (p<0.01). Multivariate analysis of the components was performed in order to characterize and evaluate the cultivated region and harvest period-related variation. Hierarchical clustering and discriminant analysis were applied to classify the geographical and seasonal origins of the green tea samples. The classification accuracy of the cultivated region and harvest period by discriminant analysis was 95% and 91%, respectively, indicating that this method could be reliable and convenient for the quality control of herbal products with different origin.

We investigated the most effective pre-treatment processes and LC/MS/MS condition for microcystins analysis. With a step-by-step pre-treatment, efficiencies of several established methods were compared. At the level of cell burst, sonication method was found to be the most efficient. As a mycrocystins first extraction solvent, 5% acetic acid showed the highest efficiency. An isolation and recovery rate of mycrocystins of ODS Sep-Pak $C_{18}$ cartridge was higher than HLB SPE cartridge. As a final elution solvent from cartridge, 100% MeOH had a better efficiency than others. Using a LC/MS/MS, effective analytical methods were established. C18 reverse column was used and gradient elution was performed with using acetonitrile, 0.1% formic acid as a mobile phase. We analysed to 0.8 mL/min flow rate fit to the $5{\mu}m$ particle size column and $55^{\circ}C$ housing temperature. The validity of established analytical method was evaluated that MDL as average $0.050{\pm}0.014{\mu}g/L$ and LOQ as average $0.160{\pm}0.045{\mu}g/L$ had a good sensitivity over 40 magnification rather than $2{\mu}g/L$ detection limit of HPLC.

A methylotrophic Actinomycetes strain, which produce the anti-oral cancer activity compound, was isolated from soil and estimated as Amylocolatosis sp. based on taxonomic studies. A methanol didn't have influence on the production of the anticancer compounds. These compound were isolated by ethylacetate extract, silica gel column chromatography, sephadex LH-20 column and reverse phase HPLC. The compounds were very stable under heat ($121^{\circ}C$), acid(pH 2.0) and alkali(pH 11.0) treatment. The cytotoxic effect of isolated anticancer compounds on various cancer cell lines such as A549, SNU-1, KB, L1210, and Sarcoma 180 was investigated by MTT assay method. And these produced compounds also showed the broad antimicrobial spectrum to test strains such as bacteria and yeast.

Subject : After acupuncture at So-Chung(HT9) in humans(n=4) we intend to know the differents of acupuncture at acupuncture and non-acupuncture on the electrical frequency change and signal transmission along the meridian with different acupuncture manipulation method. Met6ods : The etectrical signal on the heart merdian acupuncture point, So-Bu(HT8), Shin-Moon(HT7) and So-Hae(HT3), and control non acupuncture points was measured by electrodes biopack instrument. Acupuncture needles(diameter: 0.25mm, length:30mm) were used for acupuncture. The frequency was recorded before, during and after needling the So-chung. Results : After acupuncture the components between 2 and 5Hz frequency level were decreased comparing with that of pre-acupuncture state. Time-delayed correlation coefficient was increased every 10 seconds. It imply that the signal may be transferred. These effects did not appear at non acupuncture point and also did not arise when there was no ki(氣) feeling. These results suggest that acupuncture stimulation is similar to 2~5Hz frequency electric acupuncture. and ki feeling and manipulation which can induce ki feeling is very important in acupuncture clinic.

Lipids of Job's tears (Yullmoo) were extracted by the mixture of chloroform: methanol (2:1, v/v) and from these lipids, triglycerides were separated by column chromatography (Sephadex G-25 column) and then confirmed by thin layer chromatography (TLC) and reconfirmed by gas chromatography (GC). The triglycerides were fractionated into 6 groups on the basis of their partition numbers (PN) by reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on a column Shimpack CLC-ODS using tetrahydrofuran-acetonitril (25:75) mixture as a solvent. Each of these collected fractions gave one to two peaks in the GC chromatograms according to the acyl carbon number (CN) of the triglyceride and fatty acid composition of the triglycerides were also analyzed by GC. From the results, the major triglycerides of Job's tears lipids were estimated to be C18:1 C18:2 C18:2 (OLL, 38.2%), C16:0 C18:2 C18:3 (PLLn, 15.7%), C18:1 C18:1 C18:2 (OOL, 12.6%).

As the economic power is improved and the customer's demand is hard to please, the noise and vibration is the most important yardstick that can determine the quality of the product. Especially, as the airconditioner's demand increase suddenly, the product of quality and the noise is becoming a decisive factor of determining whether purchase the product or not. Therefore, every manufactory is investing a lot of money and research to cut down the unpleasantness induced from noise and vibration. And they are emphasizing their product's difference by advertising a silence very actively. With these reason, the demand of a silent indoor air-conditioner is the essential research filed when the product is develop(:d. In this study, the noise and vibration is visualized in the space and frequency domain by using experimental methods such as operational deflection shape (ODS), modal testing and sound intensity. Also the location of noise source and its characteristic is analyzed in an acoustical point of view to reduce the structure borne noise that come from the fan motor, and the pertinent control method is suggested. Furthermore, the most suitable shape of the motor bracket is suggested by applying FEM and DOE (Design of experiments) in the noise and vibration point a view.

관행재배 농산물에 대한 유기재배 농산물의 우수성이 구전되고 있으나 객관적인 과학적 데이터가 부족한 실정이다. 그래서 본 연구에서는 한국인이 주식으로 하고 있는 쌀(동진 1호)을 대상으로 생산이력이 분명한 유기 및 관행재배 시료를 이용하여 독자적으로 확립한 분석법을 이용해 유기 및 관행재배 쌀에 함유된 생리활성성분의 함량 비교를 행하였다. 생리활성성분 분석은 $\gamma$-oryzanol, $\beta$-sitosterol 및 tocopherol류를 대상으로 행하였다. 쌀에 함유된 주요 4종의 $\gamma$-oryzanol류의 동정을 위해 그 4종 화합물들을 ESI-MS 및 NMR 분석을 행한 결과, ODS 컬럼 상에서 cycloartenyl ferulate, 24-methylene cycloartenyl ferulate, campesteryl ferulate 및 $\beta$-sitosteryl ferulate 순으로 용출됨을 확인하였다. 동정된 각 성분들을 HPLC로 분석한 결과, cycloartenyl ferulate와 $\beta$-sitosteryl ferulate의 함량은관행보다 유기재배 쌀에서 유의(p<0.05)하게 높은 값을 보였다. 또한 $\gamma$-oryzanol 중 24-methylene cycloartenyl ferulate와 campesteryl ferulate의 함량은 유의차는 인정되지 않았으나 관행보다 유기재배 쌀에서 더 높은 경향을 보였다. 그리고 $\beta$-sitosterol 함량에 있어서는 유의차가 인정되지 않았으나 관행보다 유기재배 쌀에서 더 높은 경향을 나타냈다. 관행재배와 유기재배 쌀의 tocopherol류의 함량을 분석한 결과, $\alpha$-tocopherol의 함량에 있어서는 관행과 유기재배 쌀 간의 유의차가 관찰되지 않았고, $\beta$- and/or $\gamma$-tocopherols의 함량에 있어서는 유기재배 쌀에서 더 높은 경향이 관찰되었다. 이처럼 쌀에 함유된 생리활성 성분과 그로 인해 발휘되는 기능성 측면에 있어서 유기농산물의 우수성은 유기농산물 재배 농가의 수익 창출에 도움이 되는 홍보자료 제공 및 식품 기능학적 측면에 있어 중요한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있으리라 기대된다. 그러나 본 결과는 본 실험에서 대상으로 한 시료에 한정될 수 있으며, 유기재배 방법과 재배환경 및 조건에 따라 다양한 결과가 얻어질 수 있음에 주의가 요구된다.

Sclerotinia sp. (isolate BWC98-105) causes stem blight and root rot in Leghum sp., and is presently being evaluated as a potential mycoherbicide for the control of Trifoliorium repens. Bioassays have shown that Sclerotinia sp. produces phytotoxic substance which is biologically active against T. repens. Two biologically active compounds, designated as compoundsI and II, were produced in vitro from the culture filtrate of BWC98-105 isolate Sclerotium sp. Compounds I and II were purified by means of liquid-liquid extraction and $C_{18}$ open column chromatography (300 ${\times}$ 30 mm, i.d). To determine the purity, the purified compounds were analyzed by RP-HPLC. The analytical RP-HPLC column was a TOSOH ODS-120T (150 ${\times}$ 4.6 mm i.d, Japan), of which the flow rate was set at 0.7 mL/min using the linear gradient solvent system initiated with 15 % methanol to 85 % methanol for 50 min with monitoring at 254 nm. Under these RP-HPLC conditions, compounds I and II eluted at 3.49 and 4.13 min, respectively. Compound II was found to be most potent and host specific. However, compound I had a unique antibiotic activity against phytopathogenic bacteria like bacterial leaf blight (Xanthomonas oryzae) on rice, where it played a less important role in producing toxicity on T. repens. No toxin activity was detected in the water fraction after partitioning with several organic solvents. However, toxin activity was detected in the ethyl acetate and butanol fractions. In the leaf bioassay using compound II, the disease first appeared within 4-5 h as water soaked rot, which subsequently developed into well-defined blight affecting the whole plant.
