참깨박에 함유되어 있는 불용성 형태의 단백질을 가용성 형태의 단백질로 용출시키기 위하여 Bacillus sp. CW-1121이 생성하는 효소를 작용시켰다. 이때 참깨박의 단백질 용출을 위한 최적 pH는 7.5였으며, 최적 온도는 $40^{\circ}C$였고 최적 조건하에서 2시간의 소화로 약 60%의 용해도를 보였다. 단백질의 용해도는 참깨 단백질이 pH4.5에서 가장 낮아 등전점을 보였고, pH3.0과 pH6.0 이상에서는 크게 증가하였다. 효소처리 참깨박 단백질을 전기영동한 결과 수용성 단백질은 4개, 염용성 단백질은 2개의 밴드가 관찰되었다. 분리 단백의 아미노산 조성은 수용성 단백질의 경우 serine이 17.24 mg/g, 염용성 단백질은 glutamic acid가 10.77 mg/g, 유리아미노산은 glutamic acid가 6.55 mg/g으로 가장 많이 함유되어 있었으며 특히 필수아미노산의 조성도 상당히 좋은 편이었다.

For heuristic purposes, the relative ratio of urease contents inside and outside cells was surveyed using nine ureB+ strains of Helicobacter pylori. the ratio of the enzyme specific activity appeared to vary greatly between the various H. pylori strains, ranging from 0.5 to 2.5. Besides the above compartment, urease was also richly found in the membrane fraction, especially in either peripheral or integral form. The urease distribution across the H. pylori membrane was significantly influenced by the ambient pH; the specific activity of external urease was highest at pH 5.5 with a narrow plateau, whereas the internal specific activity was highest within a pH range of 4.5 to 6.5 with a broad plateau. These finding strongly suggest that H. pylori urease is secretory and responded to the external pH. However, at pH 4.0 or below, no urease activity was detected in either the internal or external compartment, although an increase in the color development with 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonate (TNBS) was observed. Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) demonstrated that these phenomena may be related to a specific proteolysis in certain proteins, including urease or ${\gamma}$-glutamyl transpeptidase. Interestingly, the effect of ammonium ions n alleviating the enzyme inactivation inside the H. pylori cells was remarkably similar to that of D-glucose. In addition, it would appear that the cation acted as a surrogate of not only $Na^+$ but also $K^+$ thereby increasing the H. pylori P-type ATPase activity. This is of great interest, as it implies that the urease action in H. pylori is indispensible at any locus.

A gene encoding a putative alanine racemase in Xanthomonas. oryzae pv. oryzae was cloned, expressed and characterized. Expression of the cloned gene was performed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3)pLys using a pET-21(a) vector harbouring $6{\times}histidine$ tag. Purification of the recombinant alanine racemase by affinity chromatography resulted in major one band by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacryl amide gel electrophoresis analysis, showing about 45 kDa of molecular weight. The alanine racemase gene, cloned in this experiment, appears to be constitutively expressed in X. oryzae, as analyzed by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. The enzyme was the most active toward L-alanine and secondly D-alanine, showing a racemic reaction, thus the enzyme is considered as an alanine racemase. The enzyme was considerably activated by addition of pyridoxal-5-phosphate (PLP), showing that 75% increase in activity was observed at 0.3 mM, compared with control. D-Cysteine as well as L-cysteine significantly inhibited the enzyme activity. The inhibitions by cysteines were more prominent in the absence of PLP, showing 9 and 5% of control activity at 2 mM of addition, respectively. The enzyme was the most active at pH 8.0 and more stable at alkaline pHs than acidic pH condition.

A general study on the upgrading of mica minerals which are mainly found in pegmatite deposits was carried out for the purpose of developing a technique for recovering mica in form of comercial grade products. By the way the grade one of about 5~6% $K_2O$ still is not developed. The target of this research work is to be establish a process for the efficient concentration of muscovite, containing more than 10% $K_2O$. The tests are applied to incraese the recovery and grade of concentrates in term of variations of conditions. The test sample consists of mainly muscovite and gangue mineral such as quartz, pyrite and chlorite. Decantation and shaking table tests were ineffective to up-grade this low grade one, but flotation method gave satisfactory result. By means of grade one, but flotation method gave satisfactory result. By means of grindability tests, an optimum result could be obtained from the sample ground to -48mesh feed size. The flotation result indicates that the dodecyl ammonium chloride used as a cationic collector is effective on the negatively charged surface, while the sodium dodecyl sulfate as an anionic collector is effective on the positively charged surface. Muscovite was floated by petroleum sulfonate as well as amine type collector, it also floated by MIBC as well as pine oil frother under well condition. Fine muscovite concentrates of about 10.68% $K_2O$ was obtained with 22.4% yield, by decantation, the muscovite concentrates of 10.10% $K_2O$ was obtained with 23.54% yield, by table concentration, the muscovite concentrates of 11.51% $K_2O$ was obtained with 23.0% yield by flotation.

본 연구에서는 유황오리의 우수성을 확인하기 위하여 유황오리, 일반오리, 닭을 열수추출 하여 유황오리의 대장염 염증에 대한 억제 효과를 알아보고자 하였다. Balb/c 수컷 마우스에 2.5% DSS로 궤양성 대장염을 유도하였고 이에 대한 대장염의 염증 억제효과를 검토하였다. 모든 실험군 중에서 정상군의 대장 길이가 가장 길었고, 대조군의 대장 길이가 가장 짧았다. 유황오리 고농도군, 저농도군의 대장의 길이는 일반오리 고농도군 저농도군의 대장 길이보다 길었으며, 닭고농도군, 저농도군의 대장의 길이는 일반오리 추출물보다 짧았다. 유황오리 저농도군에서 대장 길이가 시료처리군 중에서 가장 길었고, 대장염 증상의 개선 효과를 나타내었다. 대장의 조직학적 관찰에서 대장의 길이의 축소 정도가 증가함에 따라 대장조직의 점막층의 선와부의 손실이 증가되었다. 대장염 염증 초기에 증가하는 염증성 biomarker인 혈청 IL-$1{\beta}$, IL-6, TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-17A, IL-12의 생성은 유황오리 저농도군에서만 대조군보다 유의적으로 감소하였고, 정상군과 비슷한 수준을 보였다(P<0.05). 대장염을 일으킨 대장조직에서의 염증성인자인 IL-6, TNF-${\alpha}$, COX-2, iNOS의 mRNA 발현에서도 유황오리 추출액이 일반오리 추출액보다 더 많이 감소하였고, 유황오리 저농도군에서 가장 많이 감소되었다. 이상의 결과로 DSS로 대장염이 유도된 마우스에서 유황오리 추출액이 일반오리와 닭 추출액보다 더 높은 항염증 효과를 나타내었고 처리 농도에 따른 차이가 있었으며, 유황오리 추출액을 1 mL/kg으로 투여하였을 때 대장의 염증을 억제하는 효과가 가장 우수하였다.

아저해농도(亞沮害濃度)란 세포의 성장을 저해하는 최소 저해 농도(minimum inhibitory concentrations; MIC)이하의 농도를 말하는데, 적용된 화학물질의 동력학에 따라 항균물질은 반드시 이러한 농도로 존재하는 시기를 거치게 되며, 아저해농도의 항균물질은 세포의 성장을 저해하지는 않지만 세균의 대사와 성장에 스트레스로 작용하게 되어 세포의 성질과 독력인자 발현에 영향을 줄 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구는 여러 항균물질의 최소저해농도를 결정하고 아저해농도의 항균물질이 존재 시 세포 성질과 독력 인자에 미치는 영향을 알아보고, 치아우식증의 예방에 대한 화학적 접근법의 효용성을 조사하기 위해 계획되었다. 연구대상 세균으로는 mutans그룹 streptococci 중 두 가지 대표적인 세균종인 S. mutans (S. mutans Ingbritt)와 S. sobrinus (S. sobrinus 6715-7)를 사용하였고 화학물질 8종 (Sanguinaria extract; SG. Chlorhexidine digluconate; CHX, Fluoride; F, Propolis; PP, Hydrogen peroxide HP, Triclosan; TC, Sodium dodecyl sulfate: SDS, Cetylpyridinium chloride; CC) 을 단계 희석하여 배지에 첨가하여 최소저해농도를 구하였으며 아저해농도의 항균물질을 배지에 첨가하여 5% $CO_2$ 존재 하에 $37^{\circ}C$에서 배양하여 이러한 항균물질을 첨가하지 않은 배지에서 배양한 세균과 성장속도, 산생성능, 체표소수성, 수산화인회석에의 부착능, glucan생성능, 세균응집능 등을 비교 관찰하였다. 아저해농도의 항균물질은 세포의 성장과 체표소수성, 타액으로 처리한 수산화인회석에 대한 세균의 부착과 glucan합성에 영향을 주는 것이 관찰되었다. 또한 12시간 배양 후 S. mutans와 S. sobrinus 모두에서 대조군에 비해 통계적으로 유의하게 최종 pH가 높게 나타나 산생성능이 억제되는 것이 관찰되었다 (p<0.05). 세균을 proteinase K로 전처리한 경우 처리하지 않았을 때 보다 세균응집역가가 증가하거나 응집이 관찰되지 않았다. 본 연구의 결과에 따르면, 각각의 항균물질은 아저해농도에서도 알려진 작용기전과 유사하게 세균의 성질에 영향을 주었고 이러한 농도에서도 지속적으로 세균을 억제할 수 있었다. 따라서 이러한 항균물질의 사용은 치아우식증의 효과적 예방법의 하나가 될 수 있다

A new tetracyclic triterpenoid [4,4,24-trimethylcholesta-${\Delta}^{8,9;14,5;24,28}$-trien-$3{\beta},11{\beta},12{\alpha}$-triol-12-acetate, 3-sulfate] sodium salt (1), together with eight known compounds including ergosterol $5{\alpha},8{\alpha}$-endoperoxide (2), 1,9-dihydroxy-3-methoxy-2-methylpterocarpan (3), 3-O-${\beta}$-D-2-acetyl-amino-2-deoxyglucopyranoxyloleanoic acid (4), hydnocarpin (5), derrone (6), isovitexin (7), erythrinin C (8), and 5,4'-dihydroxy-2"-hydroxyisopropyldihydrofurano [4,5:7,8]-isoflavone (9), were isolated from the EtOAc soluble fraction of the methanol extract of aerial part of Desmodium uncinatum collected in the western highland of Cameroon. The structures of these compounds were established by comprehensive interpretation of their spectral data mainly including 1D- ($^1H$ and $^{13}C$), 2D-NMR($^1H$-$^1H$ COSY, HMQC, HMBC) spectroscopic and ESI-TOF-MS mass spectrometric analysis. The isolation of an integracide-like compound from plant origin is a very unusual finding.

Aloe-emodin (AE), a natural anthraquinone compound, has been reported to exhibit anticancer activity in various cancer cell lines and anti-inflammatory effects in murine macrophages. In the present study, we investigated the cancer chemopreventive effects of AE in an Apc-deficient Min mouse model. In the first experiment, male Min mice were fed a basal diet or diets containing 5 ppm AE and 10 ppm AE for 12 weeks. The dietary administration of 5 ppm AE significantly reduced the number of colorectal tumors. In a second experiment, we investigated the effects of AE on colitis-related colon carcinogenesis in Min mouse treated with dextran sodium sulfate (DSS). Female Min mice were administered 1% DSS in their drinking water for 7 days. AE was given to mice in their diet at a dose of 5 or 50 ppm for 5 weeks. Feeding with AE significantly reduced the number of colorectal tumors. When proliferation of cells in normal-appearing colonic mucosa was assessed by monoclonal anti-rat Ki-67 antibody (MIB-5) immunohistochemistry in experiments 1 and 2, the AE treatment significantly decreased the mean MIB-5-labeling index. These results suggest that the dietary administration of low-dose AE may have chemopreventive effects against development of colorectal tumors in Min mice, possibly in part by reducing cell proliferation in colorectal mucosa.
