The cytotoxic effects of lipid extracts from soybean products were studied using K562 human leukemia cell, Yac1 mouse leukemia cell and S 180 mouse sarcoma cell. Total lipids from soybean powder, soybean curd residue and doenjang were extracted with chloroform/methanol (2 : 1) and water saturated butanol, consecutively, and fractionated into acetone supernatants (AS fraction) and acetone precipitates (AP fraction) by adding excess acetone. AS fraction of doenjang lipids showed the strongest cytotoxic effects on K562, Yac1 and S180 cancer cells, whereas each lipid fraction of soybean curd residue also showed relatively weak cytotoxic effects on cancer cells but soybean powder did not. AS and AP fractions of doenjang contained more free fatty acids than those of soybean curd residue and soybean. And when lipid fractions were digested with 0.4 N KOH/methanol, doenjang lipid fractions showed to contain some alkali-stable substances which showed positive reaction with ninhydrin solution on silica TLC separation.

This study was conducted to investigate various physiochemical activities of carrageenan hydrolysates obtained with organic acid treatments. The hydrolysates treated with citrate and malate at $100^{\circ}C,\;110^{\circ}C\;and\;120^{\circ}C$ had antimicrobial activities against Bacillus cereus and Bacillus subtilis. Especially, the hydrolysates with malate at $120^{\circ}C$ for 180 min treatment had the strongest antimicrobial activity to Bacillus subtilis. Regardless of the hydrolysis conditions, inhibition ratios of tyrosinase activity by citrate and malate under $100{\sim}120^{\circ}C$ were over 97%. Especially, the inhibition ratios for tyrosinase activity of the hydrolysates obtained with citrate at $100^{\circ}C$ for 180 min and at $120^{\circ}C$ for 90 min were 99.4% and 98.2%, respectively. Also, the inhibition ratios for tyrosinase activity of the hydrolysates obtained with malate under the same conditions were about 99.5% and 99.3%, respectively. The APTT as anticoagulant activity of carrageenan hydrolysates with 0.3% malate and citrate at $80^{\circ}C$ for 180 min were $2,451{\pm}18(sec)\;and\;1,617{\pm}15(sec)$, respectively.

This study evaluates the dynamic tensile behavior of HPFRCC according to compressive strength levels of 100, 140 and 180 MPa. Firstly, the compressive stress-strain relationship of 100, 140 and 180 MPa class HPFRCC was analyzed. As a result, the compressive strengths were 112, 150 and 202 MPa, respectively, and the elastic modulus increased with increasing compressive strength. The static tensile strengths of HPFRCC of 100, 140 and 180 MPa were 10.7, 11.5 and 16.5 MPa, and tensile strength also increased with increasing compressive strength. On the other hand, static tensile strength and energy absorption capacity at 100 and 140 MPa class HPFRCC showed no significant difference according to the compressive strength level. It was influenced by the specification of specimen and the arrangement of steel fiber. As a result of evaluating the dynamic impact tensile strength of HPFRCC, tensile strength and dynamic impact factor of all HPFRCCs tended to increase with increasing strain rate from 10-1/s to 150/s. In the same strain rate range, the DIF of the tensile strength was measured higher as the compressive strength of HPFRCC was lower. It is considered that HPFRCC of 100 MPa is the best in terms of efficiency. Therefore, it is advantageous to use HPFRCC with high compressive strength when a high level of tensile performance is required, and it is preferable to use HPFRCC close to the target compressive strength for more efficient approach at a high strain rate such as explosion.

Effects of kochujang (Korean red pepper soybean paste) extracts on tumor formation, natural killer (NK) cell activity in spleen and glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity in liver were investigated in the sarcoma-180 cell transplanted mice. Inhibitory effects of these samples on lung metastasis of colon 26-M3.1 cells were also evaluated in the Balb/c mice. The injection of methanol extracts from traditional kochujang I (TK I, 0-day fermented), II (TKII, 6-month fermented), commercial kochujang (CK, 1-month fermented) and red pepper powder (RPP) significantly reduced tumor formation in Balb/c mice (p<0.05), TKII decreased tumor growth by 46% compared with control, resulting in the smallest tumor weight. The transplantation of sarcoma-180 cells increased the spleen/body weight ratio of Balb/c mice, while TKI and TKll significantly decreased this index (p<0.05). The effect of TKll and CK, fermented kochujang, on the NK cell activity of splenocytes was higher than that of sarcoma-180 cells transplanted control group. TK II recovered the activity of hepatic GST that was decreased by the transplantation of sarcoma- 180 cells in to the mice. All kochujang-treated mice had significantly fewer lung metastatic colonies than control mice. TKII was the most effective in inhibiting lung metastasis of colon 26-M3.1 cells. These results indicated that optimally ripened (6-month) TK had more suppressive effects on tumor formation and lung metastasis than RPP and kochujang without fermentation and commercially prepared kochujang in mice.

Background: Realgar which contains arsenic components has been used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) as an anticancer drug. However, neither Realgar nor its formula are soluble in water. As a result, high dose of Realgar has to be administered to achieve an effective blood medicine concentration, and this is associated with adverse side effects. The objective of the present study was to increase the solubility of a formula using hydrometallurgy technology as well as investigating its effects on in vitro and in vivo cell proliferation and apoptosis in Sarcoma-180 cell line. Materials and Methods: Antiproliferative activity of Realgar Bioleaching Solution (RBS) was evaluated by MTT assay. Further, effects of RBS on cell proliferation and apoptosis were studied using flow cytometry and transmission electron microscopy. Kunming mice were administered RBS in vivo, where arsenic specifically targeted solid tumors. Results: The results indicated that RBS extract potently inhibited the tumor growth of Sarcoma-180 cell line in a dose-dependent manner. Flow cytometry and transmission electron microscopy further indicated that RBS significantly induced cell apoptosis through the inhibition of cell cycle pathway in a dose-dependent manner. Further, on RBS administration to mice, arsenic was specifically targeted to solid tumor.s Conclusions: RBS could substitute for traditional Realgar or its formula to work as a potent tool in cancer treatment.

Farnesyl protein transferase는 Ras precursor의 C-terminal에 있는 cystein residue에 farnesyl group을 결합시키는 효소다. 이 효소를 bovine testis에서 30-50% ammonium sulfate fractionation, DEAE-sephacel ion exchange, Sephacryl s-300 gel filtration, hexapeptide(KKCVIM) affinity chromatography를 통해 30000배로 분리하였다. 분리된 효소는 gel filtration시 약 100kDa으로, SDS-polyacrylamide 전기영동시 50kDa의 인접한 두 bands로 나타났고 이것은 $\alpha$, $\beta$ subunits으로 생각되었다. $\alpha$ subunit을 encoding하는 RAM2 유전자를 site directed mutagenesis로 145번의 histidine을 aspartate로, 140번의 aspartate를 asparagine 으로 바꾸었더니 optimal pH와 $K_{m}$ 값이 변했다. Diethyl pyrocarbonate로 histidine residues를 chemical modification시켰을때 효소의 활성이 저하되었다. 145번 histidine이 aspartate로 바뀐 돌연변이효소에서 비교적 느리게 활성이 저하되므로 145번 histidine이 이 효소의 active site에 있을것으로 추측된다.

In order to estimate the an adequate application level for dry matter production of orchardgrass(Dactylis glomerata L.) were investigated in different application levels of food waste compost and mineral nitrogen in 3 cuttings per annum, and to evaluated the soil improving effect of food waste compost. Annual food waste compost and mineral nitrogen were applied at levels of 0, 10, 20, 40 and $60ton\;ha^{-1}$, and 0, 90, 180 and $270kg\;ha^{-1}$, respectively. Significantly higher dry matter yield of orchardgrass obtained were ranges of $8.92{\sim}9.70ton\;ha-1$ at levels of $180{\sim}270kg\;ha^{-1}\;yr^{-1}$ than that of other levels of mineral nitrogen. Relative yield of each cut to annual dry matter yield were 32.0% 49.2% and 18.8% for 1st cut, 2nd cut and 3rd cut in mineral nitrogen treatment. Significantly higher dry matter yield of orchardgrass obtained were ranges of $8.04{\sim}8.90ton\;ha^{-1}$ at levels of $20{\sim}60ton\;ha^{-1}\;yr^{-1}$ than that of other levels of food waste compost. The efficiency of dry matter production to application of mineral nitrogen(kg DM $kg^{-1}$ N) were 21.2, 19.0 and 15.6kg at levels of 90, 180 and $270kg\;ha^{-1}\;yr^{-1}$, respectively. Higher efficiency of dry matter Production obtained were 27.6~20.2 kg at levels of $90{\sim}180kg\;ha^{-1}$ of mineral nitrogen applied to $20ton\;ha^{-1}$ of food waste compost, it may due to accelerated mineralization by mineral nitrogen application. Highest efficiency of dry matter production to application of food waste compost (kg DM $ton^{-1}$ FWC) obtained was 71.0 kg at level of $40ton\;ha^{-1}\;yr^{-1}$. Maximum dry matter yield of orchardgrass obtained were $9.98ton\;ha^{-1}$ at limiting level of mineral nitrogen of $358.5kg\;ha^{-1}$ and $9.12ton\;ha^{-1}$ at limiting level of food waste compost of $49.3ton\;ha^{-1}$ per annum, respectively. Ranges of $20{\sim}49.3ton\;ha^{-1}$ of food waste compost and $180{\sim}358.5kg\;ha^{-1}$ of mineral nitrogen were estimated an adequate levels for increase in dry matter production, and to maintenance for orchardgrass pastures. Application of food waste compost was affected to improve the soil characteristics.
