The effect of ethanol extracts of Gilkyung(Platicodi Radix, Platicodongrandiflorum A, DC), Onji(Polygalae Radix, Polygala tennuifolia Willdenow) and Deoduk(Codonopsis lanceolate Radix, Codonopsis lanceolata) on expectorant activity of rat trachea was investigated. Following treatment of 50% ethanol extract of these medicinal plants (25 mg/rat), the content of neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine and histamine in tissue was significantly increased. The secretions of acid glycoproteins and the artificially injected phenol red were also increased. However, there was no significant difference except Onji From the histological study through periodic acid Schiff and alcian blue stain, the thickness of inner membrane of acinar glands and the stained glycoproteins on surface of epithelium and on the glands were observed in all the rats trachea treated with extract of medicinal plants. In vitro, the viscosity of mucin solution was slightly decreased with an addition of the extracts. Onji showed the most effective expectorant activity among them at the identical conditions. The mechanism of expectorant activity of these medicinal plants seems to be due to stimulation of secretion and changes of rheological properties of mucus.

Luteolin (LUT), a bioflavonoid has been used as a chemopreventive agent world-wide against chemically induced cancer. Hence we designed an experiment to assess chemopreventive action of LUT on lipid peroxidation (LPO) and glycoconjugates in azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colon carcinogenesis. Colon cancer was induced by 15 mg/body kg. body weight of AOM and administration of LUT (at the dose of 1.2 mg/kg. body weight) was till end of the study. Analysis of lipid peroxidative end products such as protein carbonyl (PC), malonadehyde (MDA) and conjucated dienes (CD) demonstrated significant increase in in AOM-induced animals with reduction by LUT (p<0.05). Increased levels of glycoconjugates such as hexose, hexosamine, sialic acid, fucose and mucoprotein were analyzed in serum and colon tissues examined histopathologically by periodic acid Schiff's (PAS) staining were also reversed by LUT l(p<0.05). The secondary marker of colon cancer mucin depleted foci (MDF) was assessed in control and experimental group of animals. A characteristic increase of MDF was observed in AOM-induced colon cancer animals. Treatment with LUT decreased the incidence of MDF. These results suggest that LUT alters the expression of glycoconjugates and suppress colon cancer. Hence, we speculate that LUT can be used as a chemopreventive agent to treat colon cancer.

In order to examine how the solid-liquid interface responds to temperature variation depending on the materials characteristics, i.e. faceted phase or nonfaceted phase, the moving solid-liquid interface of transparent organic material, as a model substance for metallic materials (pivalic acid, camphene, salol, and camphor-50wt% naphthalene) was observed in-situ. Plots of the interface movement distance against time were obtained. The solid-liquid interface of the nonfaceted phase is atomically rough; it migrates in continuous mode, giving smooth curves of the distance-time plot. This is the case for pivalic acid and camphene. It was expected that the faceted phases would show different types of curves of the distance-time plot because of the atomically smooth solid-liquid interface. However, salol (faceted phase) shows a curve of the distance-time plot as smooth as that of the nonfaceted phases. This indicates that the solid-liquid interface of salol migrates as continuously as that of the nonfaceted phases. This is in contrast with the case of naphthalene, one of the faceted phases, for which the solid-liquid interface migrates in "stop and go" mode, giving a stepwise curve of the distance-time plot.

This study was undertaken to observe the salivary gland of the white rat when exposed to single and fractionated doses of Cobalt-60 irradiation. One hundred fifty white rats of the experiment were devided into control and 3 experimental groups. In experimental groups, group I receivcd 1200 rads everyweek untill 4800 rads reached, group II received 1500 rads and group III received 2000 rads with single dose. irradiation was carried out using a RAC-120 Cobalt-60 Teletherapy Unit with a dose rate 84.3 r/min, field size 4×5 cm measured at 80 from source. Rats were serially sacrificed at the following postirradiation time intervals: 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, 14, 21, 28, 35, and 42days. At sacrifice, the parotid and submandibular glands were dissected out in toto, and stained with: 1) hematoxylin and eosin; 2) periodic acid Shiff; 3) toludine blue.

By combining the multi-faceted environmental responsiveness of polymer hydrogels with photonically active structures, there has been a significant effort to create color-tunable photonic crystal sensors by changing either the periodic spacing of the structure or the dielectric constants of the materials. Here, we show that reversible spiral and helical opal switches with both dimensional and optical functionalities that respond to environmental chemistry can be constructed. When the transparent opal switch is swollen in hydrophilic acetic acid, right-handed spirals and helices that exhibit angularly dependent colors from Bragg diffraction are formed. When the transparent opal switch is swollen in hydrophobic hexane, left-handed spirals which exhibit angularly dependent colors from Bragg diffraction are formed. When the transparent opal switch is swollen in hydrophobic hexane solvent, a left-handed spiral and helix with an angularly independent bluish color is formed. After deswelling, all switches returned back to the transparent planar state. These color-tunable, reversible spiral and helical opal switches can be useful as mechanical actuators, and electrical devices as well as optical components.

A leucine aminopeptidase has been isolated from the culture medium of the soil fungus, Aspergillus flavus. The enzyme was found to be a glycoprotein, as judged by electrophoresis analysis and the subsequent staining by the periodic acid-Schiff's reagent. Carbohydrate moieties could be cleaved by N-glycosidase, but not by O-glycosidase, indicating that the glucans are linked to the asparagine residue in the protein. Removal of N-glucans was observed without prior denaturation of the protein, implying that the N-glycosidic linkage is exposed and accessible to glycosidase. When the activity of native or deglycosylated enzyme was measured in the presence of various metal ions, removal of carbohydrates increased the aminopeptidase activity of the enzyme.

Biochemical methods were selected to evaluate the role of exopolymeric substances in the stability of biofilms used in bioremediation processes. Biofilms of Thiomonas arsenivorans formed on pozzolana were thus treated with pronase (protein target), lectins (Con A or PNA), calcofluor or periodic acid (polysaccharides target), DNase (DNA target), and lipase (triglycerides target). Neither protease nor DNase treatments had any effect on bacterial adhesion. Lectins and calcofluor treatments mainly affected young biofilms. Lipase treatment had a noticeable effect on biofilm stability whatever the biofilm age. Results suggest that it would be an increased resistance of mature biofilms that protects them from external attacks.

A nine-month-old male ostrich (Struthio camelus) exhibited loss of appetite and dyspnea for 10 days, followed by emaciation and death. Grossly, multiple white nodules measuring 1-3 mm in diameter were observed in the surface of and inside of the lung and in the mucosa of the air sac. Microscopically, the granuloma formations were observed in the lung and air sac. The core of granuloma consisted mainly of macrophages and fibroblasts. The thin layer comprising the giant cells and macrophages surrounded the granuloma. By Periodic acid Schiff reaction, mycelia were detected especially in the core of granuloma. From the present results, the causative agent inducing the death of an ostrich was thought to be Aspergillus sp. This is the first report of the occurrence of acute Aspergillus pneumonia (brooder pneumonia) in an adult male ostrich in Korea.

The author has studied histochemically on the giant cells appeqring in the 10 giant cell lesions which had been collected from the biopsies at the deaprtment of oral pathology, college of dentistry, Seoul national university and dental sections of several hospitals in Seoul. The results obtained were as follows: 1. The giant cells varied in size had 2 to 10 nuclei without any mitotic figures. 2. The giant cells showed high granularity in cytoplasm, extreme irregularity in outline of nuclear and cytoplasmic membrane, and very large and prominent nucleoli. 3. The giant cells were reacted moderately by Periodic Acid-Schiffraction. 4. The chtoplams of giant cells were stained moderately of deeply with Pyronin, and their nuclei with Methyl green. 5. In the sections stained with Iron-Hematoxylin, the giant cells showed microvacules and fine granular type mitochondria aggregated close to nuclei but not phagocytosed materials.
