To isolate and purify the antimicrobial and antitumor agents in Xanthium strumarium L. hydrothermal extract. The crude extract was extracted in ether or ethylacetate under neutral, acidic, and alkali conditions. The antimicrobial activity of each extract was tested against 16 strains of bacteria, 2 strains of yeast, and 2 strains of fungus. The ether neutral extract (XE-N) exhibited the strongest growth inhibition upon the 8 strains of gram-positive bacteria, 6 strains of gram-negative bacteria and Cryptococcus neoformans. Fluorescein diacetate (FDA) testing of XE-N and XEA-N showed growth inhibition of the 3 strains of E. coli, S. aureus and C. albicans even at 30 ng/mL, with the exception of p. aeruginosa. XE-N-S1 and XE-N-S3 from neutral ether extract (XE-N), XE-N-S3 from the acidic ether extract (XE-A), and XEA-N-S1 from ethylacetate (XEA-N) were purified as antimicrobial and antitumor agents. However all purified compounds decomposed with the exception of XE-N-S1. The results upon the antitumor activities of the crude extract and of its purified compounds, showed that XE-N-S1 had the best antitumor activity against HeLa cells. In terms of antitumor activity against HepG2 cells, XE-N-S1 and XE-N-S3 were superior, and against HT29 cells XE-N and XE-N-Sl were good, against Saos2, NCI H522, NCI H1703, Clone M3 cells XE-N-51 was very good, and against LN CAP cells XE-N-S3 was the best. Comparing of cellular toxicities various extracts and purified compounds with the existing antitumor agents, XE-A, XEA-A and XEA-B had the lowest toxicity, and XE-B had a lower toxicity than etoposide. XE-N-S1 and XE-N-S3 showed higher toxicities than etoposide, and the toxicity of XE-A-S3 was higher than that of etoposide, and lower than that of csplatin.

The crystal structure of piperidinothiosemicarbazide, $C_6H_{13}N_3S$, has been determined by single crystal X-ray analysis. The space group is P21/c with four molecules in the unit cell of dimensions $a=14.68{\pm}0.04,\;b=4.59{\pm}0.02,\;c=12.92{\pm}0.04{\AA}\;and\;{\beta}=109.4{\pm}0.2^{\circ}$. Three-dimensional photographic intensities were estimated visually. The structure has been solved by an interpretation of a Patterson synthesis and refined by block-diagonal least-squares methods to give a final R value of 0.14 for 378 observed independent reflections. There are two independent hydrogen bonds in the structure. One of them is of the type N-H${\ldots}$S with the length 3.28 and $3.39{\AA}$, and another is of the type N-H${\ldots}$N with the length $3.03{\AA}$. Apart from the hydrogen bonding system the molecules are held together in the crystal by van der Waals forces.

Micro wires manufactured by the straightening progress are widely used in bio-medical and semi-conductor fields. In this study, we have developed a novel straightener which uses the direct heating method for straightening. In order to avoid the surface oxidization, during the heating process, we supplied the inert gas(Ar) and examined the effect of the gas flow rate. The effect of the tension and the current applied to the tungsten micro wires were thoroughly studied. From various experiments, it was found that when the tension is $500{\sim}600gf$ and the current is about 1.5A, we obtained higher straightness(${\approx}1{\mu}m/1000{\mu}m$) and roundness ($<{\pm}2{\mu}m/100{\mu}m$).

Double ionization of the K- shell accompanying K- shell electron capture of the 0.035 MeV transition of $^{125}I$ has been studied by counting coincidences between $K_{\alpha}$ hypersatellite X-rays and Ka satellite X-rays emitted when double vacancies are filled. The $^{125}I\;and\;^{125}Te^m$ source materials were used in the measurement. We obtained the coincidence spectrum using two NaI(T1) detectors and a Ge(Li) detector and TAC(Time-to-Amplitude Converter), and then analysed the measured coincidence number $N(K_{\alpha}^{II},\;K_{\alpha}^s)$, the total number $N(K_{\alpha})$ of K X-ray. The probability per K-shell electron capture that a double vacancy is formed, $P_{KK}$ is formed, $P_{KK}$ is found to be $2.15{\times}10^{-4}$.

To investigate the growth and nutrient uptake response of sorghum${\times}$sudangrass ($S{\times}S$) hybrid to different rate of livestock manure compost, a field experiment was conducted in the experimental grassland of Chonnam National University. Six treatments were laid out in a randomized block design with triplicates; control (no input), synthetic fertilizer (20 g N $m^{-2}$ and 20 g $P_2O_5\;m^{-2}$), compost 1 (3.4 g N $m^{-2}$ and 3.6 g $P_2O_5\;m^{-2}$), compost 2 (6.8 g N $m^{-2}$ and 7.2 g $P_2O_5\;m^{-2}$), compost 4 (13.4 g N $m^{-2}$ and 14.4 g $P_2O_5\;m^{-2}$), and compost 6 (20.2 g N $m^{-2}$ and 21.6 g $P_2O_5\;m^{-2}$). Ninety days after treatment, above-ground parts of the plants were harvested and measured for dry matter yield (DMY) and amounts of nutrients (N and P) uptake. Synthetic fertilizer application achieved the greatest DMY (2.4 kg $m^{-2}$) and nutrient uptake (38.3 g N $m^{-2}$ and 15.3 g $P_2O_5\;m^{-2}$). Increasing compost application rate tended to enhance DMY accumulation and nutrient uptake (P<0.01), but DMYs of compost 4 (1.9 kg $m^{-2}$) and 6 (1.8 kg $m^{-2}$) treatments were not different. Therefore, it was suggested that application compost alone may not achieve DMY of $S{\times}S$ hybrid compatible to synthetic fertilizer application. As nutrient uptake efficiency data showed that availability of compost P could be better than SF, it might be a strategy to apply compost as P source with supplementary N application such as liquid manure, SF or green manure if necessary considering availability of N input and the yield goals.

A series of poly(imide-aramid-sulfone)s with alternatingly introduced imide/aramid groups were prepared by reacting divinyl sulfone (DVS) and $N^1,N^4$-bis(4-(vinylsulfonyl)phenyl)terephthalamide (2) with pyromellitic diimide. Three model compounds, N-[2-(p-aminophnenylsulfonyl)ethyl]phthalimide (3), 2,2'-(2,2'-sulfonylbis(ethane-2,1-diyl))diisoindoline-1,3-dione (4), and N,N-bis(4-(2-(1,3-dioxoisoindolin-2-yl)ethylsulfonyl)phenyl)terephthalamide (5), resembling polymers were prepared with good yields by reacting p-aminophenyl vinyl sulfone, DVS, and 2 with phthalimide. Condensation polymerization was carried out by Michael-type addition reaction of the difunctional phthalimide group with the DVS group in the presence of tetrabutylammonium hydroxide (TBAH), resulting in poly(imide-aramid-sulfone)s 6-12 with moderate molecular weights and good yields. They were highly soluble in polar solvents such as N,N-dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide, N-methylpyrrolidinone and tetrahydrofuran. The ratios of DVS/2 were 1/0, 3/1, 2/1, 1/1, 1/2, 1/3, and 0/1. Molecular weight and physical properties such as solubility, viscosity, and thermal properties of the polymers were examined.

The effect of N-Nitrosodimethylamine(NDMA) on the glycoconjugates of rat lingual salivary gland was examined by prelectin histochemical methods. Sprague-Dawley rats weighing about 250-300g were divided into control and experimental groups. Each rat of experimental groups was administrated NDMA(17mg/kg) orally and sacrificed in 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96 and 120 hours after NDMA administration. The regional differences and change of glycoco-njugates were elucidated by prelectin histochemical methods, such as periodic acid Schiff's(PAS) reaction, alcian blue (AB) pH 2.5, AB pH 0.4, AB pH 2.5-PAS, aldehyde fuchsin(AF) pH 1.7-AB pH 2.5 and high iron diamine(HID)-AB pH 2.5 staining. The major morphological changes in the von Ebner’s gland of NDMA administrated groups were withering and des-truction of serous acini, diminution and disappearance of cytoplasmic granules and vacuolation in cytoplasm of serous cells, and mucinous changes of duct epithelial cells. These changes were noted in NDMA administrated groups for 12 to 72 hours. In the lingual mucous gland of NDMA administrated groups, the major morphological changes were enlargement, fusion and destruction of mucous acini, loss of cytoplasmic granules and vacuolated generation in cytop-lasm of mucous cells, and mucinous change of duct epithelial cells. These changes were severe in NDMA administra-ted groups for 12 to 72 hours. In NDMA administrated groups of lingual von Ebner's gland for 12 and 72 hours, the neutral glycoconjugates be-come diminished remarkably compared to the control group. The decreased amount of neutral glycoconjugates tended to be gradually recovered from 96 hours group. The acidic glycoconjugates which were not detected in control group were found in a few serous cells of these gland of NDMA administrated groups for 6 to 48 hours and 120 ho-urs. The remarkable decrease of neutral and acidic glycoconjugates was observed in the lingual mucous glands 3, 24 and 48 hours after NDMA administration, and the striking decrease of acidic glycoconjugates was found in 72 hours groups. Among acidic glycoconjugates, sulfated glycoconjugates tended to decrease in NDMA administrated groups for 72 hours, while sialic glycoconjugates were increased in NDMA administrated groups for 3, 12 and 48 hours.

Chitosan is the deacetylation product of chitin. Chitosan was converted to N-alkyl chitosan derivatives using proper aldehyde having different alkyl chains, then chitosan derivatives with quaternary ammonium salt were producted by quaternization with methyl iodide. Their antibacterial activities aganst S. aureus(ATCC 6538P) and E. coli (ATCC 14339), gram-positive bacteria and gram-negative bacteria, respectively, as introduced alkyl length were evaluated by shake flask method using colony count. The antibacteiral activity was found to be increased as alkyl chains. hydrophobic goups. These antibacterial agents were more active against S. aureus than E. coli. It may be due to the different of structure of cytoplasmic membrane.
