Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection has recently shown to be associated with diabetes mellitus. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between chronic hepatitis B and diabetes mellitus indicators. We evaluated anthropometry, metabolic syndrome risk factors, fasting glucose, HbA1c, and C-peptide among the normal and HBV subjects. The partial correlation and average comparison analysis were used to assess the independent association between chronic hepatitis B and diabetes mellitus indicators. Average comparisons of normal and HBV subjects were significantly different in fasting glucose (p<0.000), HbA1c (p<0.000), C-peptide (p<0.000), alanine transaminase (ALT) (p<0.000) and aspartate transaminase (AST) (p<0.000). We may suggest that HBV infection is related to diabetes mellitus indicators such as fasting glucose, HbA1c and C-peptide.

Change of protein component in soybean sprout grown at four temperatures was investigated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Main bands were identified using purified seed globulins. Electrophoretogram showed 5 main bands (a. b, c, d, and p) and 10 minor bands in seed and maximum number (19) of bands (8 main band including 0 and 11 minor) at 4th day after germination in cotyledon. All bands appeared in axis protein but resolution was poor. In cotyledon, a component (most rapidly) and b+c+d component decreased while o+p component and other minor components were increased at 6th day and decreased thereafter. In axis all components increased rapidly, especially in minor components and b+c+d component. High growing temperature accelerated decrease in cotyledon and increase in axis of protein, especially for 11S. The a component was identified as 7S, b+c+d as 11S and o+p as 2S globulin.

The previous extensive in vitro studies on the antioxidative activities of a number of Korean grains, vegetables, seaweeds and mushrooms, and the various combinations of these food source exhibited a wide range of antioxidative activities, and four food mixtures composed of 5 kinds of foods (5A, 5B, 5C and 5D) were designed from 16 selective foods showing. high antioxidant effect, in vitro, to find the good combinations for the meal planning. Mixture 5B or 5C contained very high levels of total flavonoid and polyphenol, and ethanol extract from 5A, 5B or 5C showed very strong inhibitory effects against in vitro $Fe^{2+}-induced$ lipid peroxidation and ethanol extract from 5B or 5C showed remarkable DPPH radical scavenging effect and lipid peroxide-protein conjugation inhibition effect. And in vivo study was also carried out with two mixtures (5B, 5C). Powders (P5B, P5C) or ethanol extracts (E5B, E5C) of these mixtures were supplemented to Sprague-Dawley rats fed on high fat $(15\%)-high$ cholesterol $(1\%)$ semipurified diet for 5 weeks. The total antioxidant power in serum was significantly higher in P5B, P5C, E5B and E5C groups than in high fat control group, and $ascorbate-Fe^{2+}-induced$ TBARS was significantly lowered by E5B supplementation in rat liver. In liver tissue, Cu, Zn-SOD activity was significantly higher in P5B and E5B groups than in high fat control group, while catalase or GSH-peroxidase (GPx) activity was not changed by any supplementations. In kidney, Cu, Zn­SOD activity was significantly higher in P5B group than in high fat control group, while GPx activity was not changed by any supplementations. Taken together, mixture 5B and 5C showed very strong antioxidative effects both in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, the ingredient Korean foods of 5B and 5C could be recommended to take a lot together for prevention from age-related chronic diseases.

Escherichia coli RNase P is composed of a large RNA subunit (M1 RNA) and a small protein subunit (C5 protein). Since both subunits are assembled in a 1:1 ratio, expression of M1 RNA and C5 protein should be coordinately regulated for RNase P to be efficiently synthesized in the cell. However, it is not known yet how the coordination occurs. In this study, we investigated how overexpression of C5 protein affects expression of the rnpB gene encoding M1 RNA, using a lysogenic strain, which carries an rnpB-lacZ transcription fusion. Primer extension analysis of rnpB-lacZ fusion transcripts showed that the overexpression of C5 protein increased the amount of the fusion transcripts, suggesting that rnpB expression increases with the increase of intracellular level of C5 protein.

The crystal structure of p-phenylenediamine dihydrochloride has been determined from X-ray oscillation and Weissenberg photographs. The crystal is triclinic, space group $C_i1-P{\bar\1},$ with cell dimensions $a = 4.38{\pm}0.02, b = 5.90{\pm}0.02, c = 8.76{\pm}0.03 {\AA}, {\alpha} = 110{\AA}1, {\beta} = 96{\pm}1\; and\; {\gamma} = 101{\pm}1^{\circ}.$ There is one molecule in the unit cell. The atomic coordinates were found by means of two-dimensional Fourier projection and ($F_o-F_c$) projection along the a, b and c axes. The structure of p-phenylenediamine dihydrochloride is discussed in relation to the structures of hexamethylenediamine dihydrochloride, hexamethylenediamine dihydroiodide and ethylenediamine dihydrochloride.

Inadequate nutritional status of pregnancy can cause underweight and premature birth, undergrowth and deliverance of physically and mentally defected babyies. The purpose of this study is to provide guidelines for preventing preterm delivery in the aspect of nutritional factors. The nutrient intakes were compared between a preterm delivery group and a normal term delivery group to recognize risk factors of preterm delivery. The results obtained are summarized as follows. The pregnancy period was statistically longer in the normal term group (p<0.0001). Weight increase was statistically higher in the normal term group (p<0.0001). Calories (p<0.05), carbohydrates (p<0.0005), dietary fibers (p<0.0001), potassium (p<0.0005), vitamin $B_1$ (p<0.0005), vitamin $B_6$ (p<0.05), vitamin C (p<0.0001), and folic acid (p<0.05) intakes were statistically higher in the normal term group. Nutrient density of vitamin $B_1$ (p<0.05) and vitamin C (p<0.0001) in the normal term group was statistically higher. Nutrient adequacy ratio of zinc (p<0.05), vitamin $B_1$ (p<0.05) and folic acid (p<0.05) were statistically higher in the normal term group. Index of Nutritional Quality of vitamin $B_1$ (p<0.05) and vitamin C (p<0.0001) were statistically higher in the normal term group. In this study, the normal term delivery showed higher intakes of calories, carbohydrates, dietary fiber, crude fiber, potassium, vitamin $B_1$, vitamin $B_6$ vitamin C and folic acid than the preterm delivery group. Deficiencies in various nutrients may lead to preterm delivery, therefore, balanced nutrient intake is recommended to prevent preterm delivery.

1) Two xylanase (designed as A and B) of Myriococcus albomyces were purified from an extract of wheat koji culture. Puriscation steps included first ammonium sulfate fractionation followed successively by SE-Sephadex column chromatgraphy. DEAE-Sephadex column chromatography and gel filtration on Sephadex G-100 repectively. 2) The optimum pH and pH stability for crude xylanse were found to be pH 5.0 and pH 4.0-7.0 respectively. 3) The optimium temperature was found to he 5$0^{\circ}C$ and for the thermal statbility of xylanase, the enryme incubated at $65^{\circ}C$ for 60min did not affect their stability. 4) The purised xylanase A and B were considered as liquefying xylanase and saccharogenic xylauase repectively. 5) The Bylanase A was most active at pH 4.0 and range of pH 3.0-8.0 at 3$0^{\circ}C$ for six hrs. The B was most active at pH 5.0 showing stability range of pH 4.0 to 8.5 at 3$0^{\circ}C$ for 6 hrs. incubation respectively. The Optimum temperature of xylanase A and B were found to be 7$0^{\circ}C$ and $65^{\circ}C$ for 60min repectively.

Let B denote the unit ball in $C^n$, and ν the normalized Lebesgue measure on B. For $\alpha$ > -1, define $dv_\alpha$(z) ＝ $c_\alpha$$(1-\midz\mid^2)^{\alpha}$dν(z), z $\in$ B. Here $c_\alpha$ is a positive constant such that $v_\alpha$(B) ＝ 1. Let H(B) denote the space of all holomorphic functions in B. For $p\geq1$, define the Bergman-Privalov space $(AN)^{p}(v_\alpha)$ by $(AN)^{p}(v_\alpha)$ = ${f\inH(B)$ : $\int_B{log(1+\midf\mid)}^pdv_\alpha\;<\;\infty}$ In this paper we prove that a function $f\inH(B)$ is in $(AN)^{p}$$(v_\alpha)$ if and only if $(1+\midf\mid)^{-2}{log(1+\midf\mid)}^{p-2}\mid\nablaf\mid^2\;\epsilon\;L^1(v_\alpha)$ in the case 1＜p＜$\infty$, or $(1+\midf\mid)^{-2}\midf\mid^{-1}\mid{\nabla}f\mid^2\;\epsilon\;L^1(v_\alpha)$ in the case p ＝ 1, where $nabla$f is the gradient of f with respect to the Bergman metric on B. This is an analogous result to the characterization of the Hardy spaces by M. Stoll [18] and that of the Bergman spaces by C. Ouyang-W. Yang-R. Zhao [13].
