Observation of intra-vascular threadlike structures in the blood vessels of rats is reported with the images by differential interference contrast microscope, and fluorescence inverted microscope of the acridine-orange stained samples. The confocal microscope image and the hematoxylin-eosin staining revealed the distinctive pattern of nuclei distribution that clearly discerned the threadlike structure from fibrin, capillary, small venule, arteriole, or lymph vessel. Physiological function of the intra-vascular thread in connection with acupuncture is discussed. Especially, this threadlike duct can be a circulation path for herb-liquid flow, which may provide the scientific mechanism for therapeutic effect of herbal acupuncture.

Low yield of a thermostable pectinesterase(TSPE) from citrus fruits has made its detailed study extremely tedious and difficult; therefore, maximizing TSPE extraction is desirable. It is assumed that TSPE is bound to the cell components via ionic linkage and covalent bonds. Therefore, in this study, variations in extraction time, pH, NaCl concentration and commercial enzyme preparations were used to increase the yield of TSPE from Valencia orange. The largest recovery of TSPE, obtained by heating extracted pectinesterase(PE) at $70^{\circ}C\;for\;5{\sim}10$ minute, was achieved using actate buffer(pH 4.14) with 1 M NaCl and 0.2% $Cytolase^{TM}$ 104(a mixture of cellulase, hemicellulase and pectinase; Genecor, Inc). The two aquous phase partitioning with 5.0% Triton X-114 could be used as a tool for separation of thermolabile pectinesterase(TLPE) and TSPE from crude PE. Also, water extraction and $0{\sim}0.3$ ammonium sulfate fractionation could be used for removing non-pectinesterase protein.

The phagocytic petencies and birefringences of peritoneal mast cells of rats treated with particular dyes (neutral red, toluidine blue, pyronin, methylene blue, alcian blue, trypan blue, carmine, orange G, aniline blue, Janus green B, and India ink) were analyzed by means of phase contrast microscopy and polarizing microscopy. In addition, cytomorphic effects of the dyes on the peritoneal mast cells were also discussed. Phagocytic activities or ingestion of the dye particles were not observed in most cases, except for the India ink group. Hardly a macrophage appeared without some dark particles which were ingested or phagocytosed. Trypan blue and aniline blue produced very weak birefringence in the cytoplasm of mast cells but the rest did not produce even in the acid medium (neutral red and toluidine blue). The short and slender ectoplasmic processes of the mast cells and the leucocytes were also found in certain groups. The cytomorphic effects of the dyes on the mast cell were slight and variable.

In order to produce color cocoon, 3 rd day 5 th instar silkworm was cultivated with dye mixed artificial diet. Silkworm fed by artificial diet mixed with gardenia pigment spun blue colored cocoon, by Orange II orange cocoon, by methyl orange yellowish cocoon, and by Acid blue R bluish cocoon. Cocoon weight and cocoon shell weight ratio of silkworm fed by colored artificial diet were lower than those of normal silkworm.

Idiopathic renal hypouricemia is a disorder characterized by impaired urate handling in the renal tubules. Most patients with hypouricemia are asymptomatic and are found incidentally, but the condition is known to be at high risk for exercise-induced acute renal failure or urolithiasis. URAT1 protein encoded by SLC22A12 gene has been identified recently as a urate/anion exchanger in the human kidney. Inactivation mutations in SLC22A12 gene have been shown to cause renal idiopathic hypouricemia. We experienced a 3-year-old boy who presented with persistent orange-colored urine since infancy. His urine contained many uric acid crystals, while the serum showed hypouricemia(0.7 mg/dL). The fractional excretion of uric acid was increased to 41.7%. SLC22a12 gene analysis revealed W258X homozygote alleles. Renal hypouricemia must be included in the differential diagnosis of red-urine and SLC22A12 gene analysis is recommended in idiopathic renal hypouricemia.

A field experiment was conducted to examine the fruit quality characters in second generation ($F_2$) hybrid cultivar and to compare the fruit characters with original $F_1$ hybrid cultivar of minipaprika (yellow and orange type) at the Research Farm, Hwacheon in July, 2010. Fruit characters varied within $F_2$ population of each minipaprika type. In minipaprika yellow, fruit weight varied from 12.2 g to 50.8 g (average 28.5 g) and fruit length/width varied from 1.4 to 2.8 (average, 2.0). Pericarp thickness ranged from 1.8 mm to 4.1 mm (average, 2.9 mm). Total soluble solid (TSS) varied from $6.2^{\circ}Brix$ to $13.5^{\circ}Brix$ with an average of $8.7^{\circ}Brix$. Fruit volume varied from 10.3 cc to 46.7 cc with an average of 24.4 cc. In minipaprika orange type, fruit weight ranged from 19.7 g to 42.4 g (average, 29.0 g) and fruit length/width varied from 1.5 to 2.6 (average, 2.0). Pericarp thickness varied from 2.1 mm to 4.1 mm with an average of 3.0 mm. TSS varied from $5.0^{\circ}Brix$ to $12.2^{\circ}Brix$ (average, $7.9^{\circ}Brix$) and average fruit volume was 24.6 cc ranging from 10.7 cc to 35.0 cc. The average fruit quality characters in $F_2$ population in both yellow and orange minipaprika did not differ from their $F_1$ hybrid parent and $F_2$ seed can be an additional way to supply high yielding hybrid cultivars at lower cost to the minipaprika growers.

A new gerbera cultivar 'Ringgo' was bred by the 'Seohaenongsan' in 2013. 'Ma' with yellow and 'Caravan' with salmon orange, which have semi-double flower, were artificially crossed in 2010. After investigation of the characteristics for four years (from 2010 to 2013), it was selected specially for the use of cut flower. The 'Ringgo' had brilliant orange color (RHS O24A) with dark brown center. The flower was semi-double and 11.1 cm in diameter. And inner ray floret and disc diameter are 6.6 cm and 2.8 cm, respectively. It is a vigorous cultivar having a long and thick peduncle of which length and upper width were 54.7 cm and 4.6 mm, respectively. The vase life of 'Harmony' was 10.1 days, which was 1.2 days longer than the standard cultivar 'Dune'. And its average yield was 55.3 stems per plant, which were 6.6 stems more than the control.

Sodium salt of photoluminescent Eu-containing polyoxometalate (Eu-POM) was newly synthesized and its chemical structure and physical properties characterized. The Eu-POM was unstable outside the pH range 5.5-8.5, and a pH just over 7 gave the best yield. We have investigated the photoluminescent properties of Eu-POM with changing the reactants ratio of heteropolytungstate and $EuCl_3{\cdot}6H_2O}$. The Eu-POM was characterized by UV/Vis, FT-IR, $^1H$-NMR, PL and XPS. Eu-POM emits orange light of 590nm when excited with the light of 280nm. Furthermore, we made dodecyltrimethylammonium (DDTA) salt of Eu-POM (Eu-POM/DDTA) by exchange of the counter cation. The Eu-POM/DDTA is soluble in common organic solvents, while Eu-POM is only soluble in water. And it emits reddish orange light of 625nm when excited with light of 250nm.

The objective of this study was to find in what color Korean handmade paper(Hanji) is dyed when it is dyed with a pigment extracted from waste onion peelings using different kinds of mordant, and how the paper is discolored and variety of strength under the condition of accelerated aging test. The results of this experiment are as follows. 1. Korean handmade paper was dyed in different colors according to the kinds of mordant. Mainly it was dyed in orange-brown, and sometimes in gold or khaki. 2. Korean handmade paper dyed was not discolored much, which suggests that the pigment is strong under the condition of aging. 3. As for durability, Korean handmade paper dyed in gold was strongest. Korean handmade paper, to which aluminum sulfate, iron sulfate or sodium dichromate was applied as mordant, had poor durability. Thus, these were not suitable as mordant.

Quaternary aminized cellulosic adsorbents (C $A_{QA}$ ) which exhibit adsorption capacities for anionic dyestuffs for the treatment of colored waste water and re-use of the treated water were studied. The isotherms and thermodynamic parameters of C.I. Acid Orange 7, solution considered as a model of negatively charged coloring matters for C $A_{QA}$ , were determined. Batch method and flow method were employed to determine decoloring capacity of cellulosic adsorbents for Orange 7. The cellulosic adsorbents exhibited much better adsorption capacity than activated carbon. Furthermore the exhausted cellulosic adsorbents could be readily regenerated by washing with dilute sodium hydroxide.
