This study was carried out to investigate the extract yield, total polyphenolic compounds content, electron donating activity (EDA) and nitrite scavenging activity (NSA) of various red pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) seeds. The water and ethanol extracts showed yields in the ranges of $11.30{\sim}18.93%$ and $3.00{\sim}5.25%$, respectively. Ethanol extract yield was higher than water. In the total polyphenol content, water and ethanol extracts were in the range of $10.22{\pm}1.29{\sim}25.98{\pm}0.55mg/$ and $8.00{\pm}0.57{\sim}33.99{\pm}0.09mg/g$, respectively. Also, nitrite scavenging activities were $70.11{\pm}0.71{\sim}94.07{\pm}0.86%$ and $81.93{\pm}1.77{\sim}99.90{\pm}0.70%$ for water and ethanol extracts, respectively. In the electron donating activity, water extracts showed lower activity than ethanol extracts. The electron donating activity of water extracts was in the range of $0.04{\pm}0.07{\sim}14.31{\pm}0.06%$ while that of NSA of ethanol extracts was $35.48{\pm}0.23{\sim}73.83{\pm}0.04%$.

The temperature dependence of the kinetic parameters of the aspartase-catalyzed reaction has been examined in the direction of deamination. The pK1values at 37$^{\circ}C$, 25$^{\circ}C$, 16$^{\circ}C$ and 7$^{\circ}C$ were 6.2 $\pm$ 0.1, 6.3 $\pm$ 0.1, $6.7{\pm}0.3$ and 6.9 $\pm$ 0.3, respectively. On the other hand, the pK2 values at 37$^{\circ}C$,25$^{\circ}C$, 16$^{\circ}C$ and 7$^{\circ}C$ were 8.1 $\pm0.2$, 8.3 $\pm$ 0.2, 8.2 $\pm$ 0.3 and 8.0 $\pm$ 0.2,respectively. The enthalpy of ionization, DHion, calculated from the slope of pK1, are 6.0 $\pm$ 0.3 kcal/mol. These results validate the prediction that aspartase requires a histidine residue for a general base, and a cysteine (or having a carboxyl functional group) for a general acid.

Objectives: Chronic pain is one of the most common experiences of humans and a typical psychophysiological disorder. The aim of this study was to measure the psychophysiological responses in chronic pain patients using a biofeedback system, and to compare them with the results from normal healthy subjects. Methods: Forty two patients with chronic pain (17 males and 25 females, average age $44.67{\pm}11.10$ years) and 42 normal healthy controls (17 males and 25 females, average age $45.17{\pm}10.46$ years) participated in this study. Electromyography (EMG), skin conductance (SC), and skin temperature (ST) were recorded using biofeedback system during the 3 phases (baseline, stress, and recovery) of stress reactivity test, and average values of them were calculated. Difference of values between two groups in each corresponding phase was analyzed with independent t-test, and change of values across phases of stress reactivity test was analyzed with paired t-test (all two-tailed, p<0.05). Results: Compared to normal controls, chronic pain patients had higher value of EMG (baseline: $8.10{\pm}5.97{\mu}V$ vs $4.72{\pm}1.52{\mu}V$, t=-3.56, p<0.01; stress: $11.25{\pm}6.89{\mu}V$ vs $8.49{\pm}4.78{\mu}V$, t=-2.13, p<0.05; recovery: $7.12{\pm}3.77{\mu}V$ vs $4.78{\pm}1.59{\mu}V$, t=-3.70, p<0.01) and SC (baseline: $1.06{\pm}1.0{\mu}S$ vs $0.42{\pm}0.29{\mu}S$, t=-4.0. p<0.01; stress: $1.87{\pm}2.05{\mu}S$ vs $1.03{\pm}0.86{\mu}S$, t=-2.47, p<0.05; recovery: $1.74{\pm}1.77{\mu}S$ vs $0.64{\pm}0.59{\mu}S$, t=-3.8, p<0.01) in all the 3 phases. But, skin temperature comparison did not reveal significant differences in all the 3 phases between two groups. Conclusion: Psychophysiological responses of chronic pain patients in stress reactivity test were different from those of normal healthy controls. These results suggest that sympathetic nervous system is more activated in chronic pain patients.

In this paper, we measured and analysised the power change of tear lens for 85 patients - 170 myopia eyes - who are fitted using RGP lens, considering the BGR of RGP lens, the corneal astigmatism power, and corneal curvature. We got the following results from these experiments; 1. When the BCR of RGP lens changes, the diopters of tear lens of "on-k", 0.05Pt, 01.0Ft, 0.05St, and 0.10St are -0.25D, -0.46D, -0.63D, +0.07D, and +0.26D, respectively. 2. When the corneal astigmatism power changes, the diopters of tear lens of group below 0.75D, group of 1.00D~1.25D, group of 1.50D~1.75D, and group over 2.00D in "on-k" state, are -0.25D, -0.18D, -0.09D, and -0.39D, respectively. 3. When the corneal astigmatism power changes and the BCR of test lens is changed by 0.05mm step, the change values of tear lens diopter for 0.05St and 0.05Ft approximate to ${\pm}0.25D$, while these for 0.10St and 0.10Ft don't approximate to the value below ${\pm}0.25D$.[are irregular value below ${\pm}0.25D$.] 4. When the corneal curvature and the HCR of RGP lens change, the diopters of tear lens of group below 7.50mm, group of 7.55~7.80mm, group of 7.85~8.20mm, and group over 8.25mm in "on-k" state, are -0.40D, -0.11D, -0.20D, and -0.19D, respectively. 5. When the BCR of test lens is changed by 0.05mm step and the corneal curvature increases, the change values of tear lens diopter decrease, while these over 8.25mm are mean value ${\pm}0.17D$ and the value below ${\pm}0.25D$.
