폐수 중의 6가크롬을 음이온 교환체인 aliquat-336(tri-caprylmethyl ammonium chloride)으로 이온쌍을 형성시켜 유기용매인 p-xylene으로 추출하여 원자흡수분광도법으로 정량하는 방법에 대하여 조사 검토하였다. Toluene을 용매로 사용하여 유기물을 제거한 폐수 100ml를 취하여 염산으로 pH 0.5 되게 산성화시킨 다음 aliquat-336을 0.01M되게 녹인 p-xylene 20ml로 6가크롬을 추출하였다. 표준물첨가법에 의해 air-acetylene 불꽃에서 용매중에 추출된 6가크롬을 정량하였다. Al(III), Fe(III), Cr(III)이온들은 6가크롬의 추출 및 흡광도 측정에 방해 하지 않았으며, Fe(III)이온이 6가크롬을 3가크롬으로 환원시키기 때문이다. 또한 유기물이 존재하면 6가크롬의 흡광도를 감소시키므로 이런 방해유기물을 toluene으로 추출 제거하였다. 최적 조건으로 분석한 결과는 96%이상의 회수율을 보여 주었고 이는 미량 분석에서 정확한 방법이라 할 수 있고, 상대평균편차가 3.95%로서 재현성도 비교적 좋았다.

Memantine HCl을 자외부 유도화제인 MPCN과 반응시켜 흡광광도법으로 정량하였다. 유도화반응은 pH 5, $50^{\circ}C$에서 MPCN을 1:20배 몰비로 사용하여 30분간 반응시켰으며 dichloromethane으로 추출한 후 324.5nm에서 흡광도를 측정하였다. 그 결과 memantine HCl의 최종 농도로써 $5.0{\times}10^{-6}{\sim}6.5{\times}10^{-5}M$ 사이에서 직선성을 나타냈으며 detection limit는 $0.43{\mu}g/ml$이었다. 본 분석법을 제제에 적용하였을 때 주사제는 $100.08{\pm}0.72%$였고 정제는 $99.75{\pm}0.77%$로, 부형제에 의한 영향 없이 간편하고 신속하게 재현성 있는 결과를 나타내므로 의약품의 품질관리에 효과적으로 응용될 수 있으리라 사료된다.

This study was performed to isolate some strains of Bifidobacterium breve from fecal materials of neonates and to screen them for the biotransformation activity of converting linoleic acid into conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). Fecal samples were collected from twenty healthy neonates between 14 and 100 days old, and four hundred colonies were randomly selected from a Bifidobacterium selective transoligosaccharide medium. A duplex polymerase chain reaction technique was developed for the rapid and accurate molecular characterization of the B. breve strains that have been reported to show the species-specific characteristic of CLA production. They are identified by 16S ribosomal DNA, fructose-6-phosphate phosphoketolase encoding genes (xfp), and rapid pulsed field gel electrophoresis. Thirty-six isolates were identified as B. breve, and just two of the 12 neonates were harboring B. breve strains. Each isolate showed different CLA-producing ability in the spectrophotometric assay. All of the positive strains from the primary spectrophotometric assay were confirmed for their CLA-producing activities using gas-chromatographic analysis, and their conversion rates were different, depending on the strain isolated in this study. Some strains of B. breve were successfully isolated and characterized based on the CLA-producing activity, and further studies are necessary to characterize the enzyme and the gene responsible for the enzyme activity.

Many factors may affect periodontal changes during the physiologic conditions of woman(e.g. puberty, menstrual cycle, pregnancy, menopause). Recently many research has focused on the immunological changes of host, but the exact mechanism is not clear. Collagen is a major constituent of periodontium, and collagenase specifically digests the collagen and plays a role in destruction of periodontal tissue. So, I suppose that it participates with the cytokines in the inflammation of gingiva and vascular response during the changes of female sex hormones. Because there are some evidences of the existence of the receptors of estrogen and progesterone in the gingiva, it may be a target tissue of female sex hormones. In this experiment, gingival fibroblast and periodontal ligament cell were cultured in the presence of various concentrations of estrogen or progesterone corresponding to the menstrual cycle and pregnancy. Collagenase activity of the supernatant of culture media was determined by Spectrophotometric collagenase assay. The enzyme activity was calculated by the % decrease of the coated collagen. 1. The estrogen at both concentrations had no effect on the activity of collagenase of the gingival fibroblast. 2. The progesterone had some effect on the collagenase activity of the gingival fibroblast at low and high concentration of menstrual cycle, and elevated the enzyme activity at all range of pregnancy concentrations. 3. In periodontal ligament cells, estrogen elevated the enzyme activity at the early pregnancy concentration and progesterone elevated at the concentration just before menstruation. In this experiment, pregesterone elevated the collagenase activity of gingival fibroblast and periodontal ligament cells. But the mechanism of the up-regulation of the enzyme activity was not confirmed. The more experiments of direct effect of progesterone on gingival at the molecular level(e.g. northern blot analysis) can reveal the exact mechanism.

There were many reports that elevations in the levels of active and latent collagenase in gingival crevicular fluid(GCF) have been correlated positively with periodontal disease activity. To provide a simple diagnostic approach for testing GCF collagenolytic activity, the detection limit of enzyme activity was compared using radiofibril assay(Sodek et.al.1981) and spectrophotometric collagenolytic assay(Nethery et al. 1986). The detection limits of both assay for standard bacterial enzyme were similar and the radiofibril assay showed a little (1/2) lower detection limit for tad pole collagenase. To evaluate the relationship between periodontal tissue destruction and the collagenolytic activity, GCF was collected, and latent and active enzyme activities were measured by a spectrophotometric collagenolytic assay. Twelve subjects showing progressive lesions were selected according to the presence of immediate tissue destruction, frequent abscess formation, and increasing need for tooth extraction, and the absence of underlying systemic disease and previous antibiotic medication history within 6 months. Comparisons were made between sites with either: 1) inflammation with a previous history of progressive loss of periodontal tissue and bone support(2l progressive sites): 2) previous history of bone loss and periodontal destruction but now clinically stable(12 comparably stable sites); or 3) no loss of periodontal tissue and bone support(11 control sites including 5 gingivitis sites and 6 healthy sites). Active collagenase activity was the highest in the progressive sites and decreased in the order of the gingivitis sites, the stable sites, and the healthy sites. The total enzyme activity was $2{\sim}3$ fold higher in the progressive sites and the gingivitis sites, compared to the stable and the healthy sites. The ratio of active to total collagenolytic activity was twice in the progressive sites. Analysis of active collagenase level(5mU) and the ratio of active to total collagenolytic activity(0.8) as a diagnositic test indicates that these measurements have the sensitivity of 0.81 and 0.86, the specificity of 0.70 and 0.65, and the overall agreement of 0.75 and 0.73, respectively. Thus, this method has significant merits as a diagnostic tool to determine wherher the site is in a state of remission or progression.

흡착 분리 방법을 이용하여 고순도 삼염화실란(TCS) 중의 미량 붕소 농도를 분광광도법적으로 측정하는 방법을 제안하였다. TCS중의 붕소 화합물과 복합체를 잘 형성하고 황산-quinalizarin계 발색 시약에 잘 녹으며 측정시 간섭 효과를 나타내지 않는 Lewis 염기성 물질로 NaCl이 선택되었다. 이러한 흡착 분리 방법을 통해 TCS분석 도중에 실리카겔 및 기포가 생성되는 문제를 방지할 수 있었는데, 반도체급 TCS중의 붕소 농도는 ${\pm}$20%의 표준편차 범위내에서 6.1 ${\mu}$g/l로 측정되었다. 반면 NaCl로 붕소화합물을 제거시킨 정제된 TCS 중의 붕소 농도는 0.2 ${\mu}$g/l이어서 NaCl의 우수한 흡착 성능을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 NaCl이 TCS 정제 중 붕소 제거에 효과적임을 다른 잘 알려진 흡착제들과 비교 분석하였다.

Two simple, rapid and sensitive spectrophotometric methods for the determination of three fluoroquinolones, namely levofloxacin, norfloxacin and ciprofloxacin have been performed either in pure form or in their tablets. In the first method, levofloxacin and norfloxacin are directly treated with bromocresol green (BCG) in dichloromethane while ciprofloxacin is allowed to react with the same dye in aqueous acidic buffer. Highly yellow colored complex species were formed instantaneously in case of levofloxacin and norfloxacin or after extraction into dichloromethane for ciprofloxacin. The formed complexes are quantified spectrophotometrically at their absorption maxima at 411 nm for levofloxacin and 412 nm for norfloxacin and ciprofloxacin. The second method involves the reaction of levofloxacin with ${\rho}$-chloranilic acid ( ${\rho}$-CA) and norfloxacin with tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) in acetonitrile to give complexes with maximum absorbance at 521 and 333 nm for the two drugs, respectively. Adopting the first procedure, calibration graphs were linear over the range 1- 20 ${\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$ with mean percentage recoveries of 100.41 ${\pm}$ 0.72, 99.99 ${\pm}$ 0.54 and 100.23 ${\pm}$ 0.91 for the theree drugs, respectively. For the second procedure, the concentration ranges were 15-250 ${\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$ for levofloxacin using ${\rho}$-CA and 0.8-16 ${\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$ for norfloxacin using TCNE with mean percentage recoveries of 99.88 ${\pm}$ 0.45 and 100.26 ${\pm}$ 0.68 for the two drugs, respectively. The proposed methods were successfully applied to determine these drugs in their tablet formulations and the results compared favorably to that of reference methods. The proposed methods are recommended for quality control and routine analysis.

여러 가지 탄소물질을 사용하여 변형된 스테인레스 금속재 Two-bulbs를 사용하여 Li-CIC를 합성하였다. 합성한 결과 출발물질의 구조적 특성에 따라 여러 가지 색깔의 층간화합물이 각각 형성되었다. 합성된 Li-CIC들은 X-선 회절법을 이용하여 출발물질의 결정화도에 따라 stage 형성과정을 확인하였다. 이들 결과에서 출발물질의 결정화도가 좋은 천연흑연과 흑연섬유는 낮은 stage(1 stage, 2 stage)가 형성되었고, 결정화도가 나쁜 탄소섬유와 석유계 코크스는 높은 stage(3 stage, 4 stage, 5 stage)가 얻어졌다. 또한 (hkl)회절선의 이값을 계산된 값과 비교하였을 때 이들 값들은 거의 일치하였다. 그러나 결정화도가 나쁜 경우 다소의 차이가 있음을 보이고 있다. 이들 Li-CIC에 대하여 UV/VIS 분광기를 사용하여 stage 안정성과 에너지 상태를 알수 있었다. X-선 회절법에 의한 결과와 UV/VIS 분광학적 데이터는 결정화도가 좋은 탄소물질은 에너지와 반사율의 관계곡선이 뚜렷하게 나타났음을 제시하였다. 이들 결과는 타소층과 층사이에 전하운반자와 관계가 있으며, 이들 성질이 삽입물질의 농도와 관계있음을 알수 있었다. 뿐만 아니라 본 연구는 Li-CIC의 삽입과정에서 고성능 에너지 저장제에 대한 정보를 역시 제공하여 준다.

Two Spectrophotometric procedures are presented for the determination of two commonly used H2-receptor antagonists, nizatidine (I) and ranitidine hydrochloride (II). The methods are based mainly on charge transfer complexation reaction of these drugs with either ${\rho}-chloranilic$ acid (${\rho}-CA$) or 2, 3 dichloro-5, 6-dicyanoquinone (DDQ). The produced colored products are quantified spectrophotometrically at 515 and 467 nm in chloranilic acid and 000 methods, respectively. The molar ratios for the reaction products and the optimum assay conditions were studied. The methods determine the cited drugs in concentration ranges of 20-200 and $20-160\;\mu\textrm{g}/mL$ for nizatidine and ranges of 20-240 and $20-140\;\mu\textrm{g}/mL$ for ranitidine with chloranilic acid and DDQ methods, respectively. A more detailed investigation of the complexes formed was made with respect to their composition, association constant, molar absorptivity and free energy change. The proposed procedures were successfully utilized in the determination of the drugs in pharmaceutical preparations. The standard addition method was applied by adding nizatidine and ranitidine to the previously analyzed tablets or capsules. The recovery of each drug was calculated by comparing the concentration obtained from the spiked mixtures with those of the pure drug. The results of analysis of commercial tablets and the recovery study (standard addition method) of the cited drugs suggested that there is no interference from any excipients, which are present in tablets or capsules. Statistical comparison of the results was performed with regard to accuracy and precision using student's t-test and F-ratio at 95％ confidence level. There is no significant difference between the reported and proposed methods with regard to accuracy and precision.

Variouss concentrationss of free malonaldehyde were prepared from 1,1,3,3-tetraethoxy propane (TEP). Spectrophoto-metric determination and HPLC analysis of free malonaldehyde instead of malonaldehyde-thiobaribituric acid (MA-TBA) complex were conducted. Malonaldehyde was well separated on a $\mu$Bondapak C18 column. The absorbances at 254 nm and the HPLC peak areas of free malonaldehyde increased with the increase in its concentration. The correlation coefficient between absorbances and peak areas was 0.998. The total time elapsed to conduct the whole procedure was less than 15 minutes. This method directly measured the amount of free malonaldehyde in a short period of time successfully. This procedure is expected to be used as a rapid, accurate and specific means to de-termine the development of lipid oxidation in food.
