The removal of hemoglobin from acrylic acid grafted Nylon fabrics has been investigated. In order to change detergency of Nylon 6 fabric, acrylic acid(AA) were graft copolymerized on Nylon fabric using ammonium persulfate(APS) as a initiator, and then acrylic acid grafted Nylon was treated with NaOH solution. The graft ratio increased linearly with increasing acrylic acid concentration. The graft ratio was the highest when the concentration of APS was 0.05%, and it decreased as the concentration of APS increased. The surface of Nylon fabric became rough due to graft. Moisture regain was increased by graft and alkaline treatment, contact angle was also improved compared with the ungrafted. The hemoglobin was easily solubilized and removed from grafted Nylon fabric, while it was difficult to remove hemoglobin from ungrafted Nylon fabric. The effects of graft on removal of hemoglobin was related with increase of moisture regain and transformation of COOH to COONa by alkaline treatment.

The synthesis of stearic acid composite phase change material (PCM) was investigated and the samples produced were characterized for use in latent heat storage, using a simple chemical sol-gel process. The PCM was encapsulated to tetraethyl orthosilicate by various preparation ratios of stearic acid (5, 10, 15, 20, 30 and 50%). Fourier transformation infrared spectroscope (FT-IR) and X-Ray diffraction (XRD) were performed to determine the chemical structure and crystalloid phase of the microencapsulated PCM. SATEOS1 (5%) shows the best proportion for the PCM. With the presence of stearic acid as core materials and SiO2 as the supporting materials, it does not show any chemical reaction between both of them. SATEOS1 shows promising potential for thermal energy storage as it shows a better encapsulation efficiency and good thermal stability.

In the presence of laccase, generation of monomeric aromatic acids from nonphenolic lignin model dimer veratrylglycerol-$\beta$-vanillate ether (VVE) was observed. The addition of acetovanillone (AV) or acetosyringone (AS) intensified this process, i.e. transformation was more extensive than in the experiments omitting mediators. Among the products isovanillic (IA) and vanillic (VA) acids were identified.

Background: Notoginsenoside Ft1 is a promising potential candidate for cardiovascular and cancer disease therapy owing to its positive pharmacological activities. However, the yield of Ft1 is ultralow utilizing reported methods. Herein, an acid hydrolyzing strategy was implemented in the acquirement of rare notoginsenoside Ft1. Methods: Chemical profiles were identified by ultraperformance liquid chromatography coupled with quadruple-time-of-flight and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q/TOF-ESI-MS). The acid hydrolyzing dynamic changes of chemical compositions and the possible transformation pathways of saponins were monitored by ultrahigh-performance LC coupled with tandem MS (UHPLC-MS/ MS). Results and conclusion: Notoginsenoside Ft1 was epimerized from notoginsenoside ST4, which was generated through cleaving the carbohydrate side chains at C-20 of notoginsenosides Fa and Fc, and vinaginsenoside R7, and further converted to other compounds via hydroxylation at C-25 or hydrolysis of the carbohydrate side chains at C-3 under the acid conditions. High temperature contributed to the hydroxylation reaction at C-25 and 25% acetic acid concentration was conducive to the preparation of notoginsenoside Ft1. C-20 epimers of notoginsenoside Ft1 and ST4 were successfully separated utilizing solvent method of acetic acid solution. The theoretical preparation yield rate of notoginsenoside Ft1 was about 1.8%, which would be beneficial to further study on its bioactivities and clinical application.

An 1.4 kb of the fad3 cDNA encoding microsomal linoleic acid desaturase catalyzing the conversion of linoleic acid (18:2, ${\omega}-6$) to linolenic acid (18:2, ${\omega}-3$) was introduced into tobacco plants by the Agrobacterium-mediated plant transformation, Among the transgenic tobacco plants conferring kanamycin resistance, five transformants showing increment in unsaturated fatty acid contents were selected and further analyzed for the transgenecity, In genomic Southern blot analyses, copy numbers of the integrated fad3 DNA in chromosomal DNA of the five transgenic tobacco plants were varied among the transgenic lines. By Northern blot analyses, the abundancy of the fad3 mRNA transcript directed by Cauliflower Mosaic Virus 35S promoter was consistent with the relative copy number of the fad3 DNA integrated in the chromosome of transgenic tobacco plants. When compared with the wild type, accumulation of linolenic acid in transgenic tobacco roots was elevated 3.7- to 4.7-fold showing a corresponding decrease in the linoleic acid contents; however, slight increments for linolenic acid were noticed in transgenic leaf tissues. These results indicated that the elevated level of fad3 expression is achieved in transgenic tobacco plants.

The promoter region flanking the 5’ CAZFP1 coding region was isolated from the genomic DNA of Capsicum annuum. To identify the upstream region of the CAZFP1 gene required for promoter activity, a series of CAZFP1 promoter deletion derivatives was created. Each deletion construct was analyzed by Agrobacterium-mediated transient transformation in tobacco leaves after infection by Pseudomonas syringae pv. tabaci, or treatment with methyl jasmonate (MeJA), ethylene, abscisic acid (ABA), salicylic acid (SA), cold and wounding. Promoter fragments of 685 bp or longer showed 7-fold or greater induction after P. s. pv. tabaci infection and MeJA treatment. The CAZFP1 full-length promoter (-999 bp) also showed 6-fold induction in response to ethylene. The transiently transformed tobacco leaves with the CAZFP1 full length promoter fused-GUS gene showed more than 5-fold induction in response to SA, ABA and cold. These results suggest that the CAZFP1 promoter contains responsive elements for pathogen, MeJA, ethylene, SA, ABA and cold.

The objective of this paper is to compare the variation of surface properties by hydrochloric acid pre-treatment and of metallic potassium and their salts loading effect for activated carbon after surfaces transformation by acid. From the results of nitrogen adsorption, each isotherm shows a distinct knee band, which is closely related to the characteristic of microporous carbons with capillary condensation in micropores. In order to present the causes of the differences in surface properties and $S_{BET}$ after the samples were treated with hydrochloric acid, pore structure and surface morphology are investigated by adsorption analysis. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns indicate that activated carbons show better performance for metallic potassium and potassium salts by pre-treatment with hydrochloric acid. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) pictures of potassium/activated carbon particles provide information about the homogeneous distribution of metal or metal complex on the surface. For the chemical composition microanalysis for potassium treatment of the activated carbon pre-treated with hydrochloric acid, samples were analyzed by energy disperse X-ray (EDX). Finally, the type and quality of oxygen groups are determined from the method proposed by Boehm. A positive influence of the acidic groups on the carbon surface by acid treatment is also demonstrated by an increase in the contents of potassium salts with increasing of acidic groups calculated from Boehm titration.

Robinia pseudoacacia var. umbraculifera, commonly called umbrella black locust were regenerated after co-cultivation of internode segments with Agrobacterium tumefaciens which included yeast cadmium factor 1 (YCF 1) gene. The tolerance to cadmium and lead for plants can be increased by the YCF1 gene expression. Moreover, the recent studies have shown that YCF1 gene transgenic plants increase the accumulation of cadmium and lead into plant vacuoles. The effect of plant growth regulator such as 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), ${\alpha}$-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), 6-benzyladenine (BA), and thidiazuron (TDZ) were studied to evaluate the propagation of plants through internode explants. The efficient induction of multiple adventitious shoots and callus were observed on a medium supplemented with 0.1 mg/L TDZ + 0.2 mg/L BA. To induce shoot elongation and rooting, regenerated shoots were transferred into basal MS medium without any plant growth regulator. Successful Agrobacterium tumefaciens mediated transformation was obtained by 20 min vacuum-infiltration with $50{\mu}M$ acetosyringone on the optimal multiple shoot induction medium with 30 mg/L hygromycin and 300 mg/L cefotaxime. To confirm the integration and expression of transgene, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and Reverse Transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) were performed with specific primers. The frequency of transformation was approximately 18.94%. This study can be used to genetic engineering of phytoremediator.

When ginsenosides Rbl, Rb2, and Rc were anaerobically incubated with commercial and human intestinal lactic acid bacteria, most commercial lactic acid bacteria did not metabolize these ginsenosides to compound K. However, lactic acid bacteria, B. minimum KK-1, Bifidobacterium cholerium KK-2, and B. cuniculi K-513, isolated from human intestinal microflora transformed these ginsensosides to compound K. When the bacterial mixtures of commercial lactic acid bacteria were incubated with these ginsenosides, these compounds were not transfformed to compound K. However, when Bzfidobacterium KK-1 and KX-2 were miked, these ginsenosides were synergistically transformed to compound K. When water extract of ginseng was incubated with these mixed bifidobacteria, compound K was potently produced. Therefore, it is suggested that, if ginseng with these mixed bifidobacteria is fermented, compound K-enforced ginseng materials could be produced that show cytotoxicity against tumor cell lines.
