Protease-catalyzed liberation of sialyloligosaccharide from raw egg yolk was investigated in biphasic system, water-immiscible hexane system. Biphasic system 1, in which water was the continuous phase, was better than the opposite biphasic system ll in sialyloligosaccharide liberation. The optimal conditions of temperature, water content and reaction time were $30^{\circ}C$, 20% and 12 hours, respectively. Protease activity was strongly influenced by the amount of water present in the reaction mixture. The liberation of sialyloligosaccharide was accelerated by protease pre-treatment at $30^{\circ}C$ in 0.2 M NaCl solution, prior to addition of hexane (Biphasic system I).

Cancer is now a worldwide problem. Although we have obtained a deeper understanding of the disease with the help of the science and technology, we still cannot reach the essence of cancer. Based on the former theory of carcinogenic and researches, we submit a new theory called "Spatial -Temporal Biphasic Carcinogenesis" to explain its development from the viewpoints of time and space.

본 논문에서는 개발된 biphasic 자동형 제세동기 시스템의 임상적 효용성을 동물실험을 통하여 검증하였다. 개발된 제세동기 시스템은 기존의 monophasic 제세동기와는 달리 낮은 에너지로 세동을 제거하는 biphasic 형으로, 이미 실험실 환경의 테스트를 통해 시스템의 안정성과 알고리즘의 탁월한 검출 능력이 확인되었다. 시스템의 임상적 안전성 및 효용성을 확인하기 위하여 8마리의 돼지를 사용하여 시스템의 적절한 세동 검출 및 세동제거능력을 실험하였고, 그 후 시스템의 효용성을 향상시키기 위한 연구로 같은 양의 에너지를 다른 전압 레벨에서 방전시켜 이에 따른 제 세동 효율을 조사하고, 또한 세동 신호의 규칙성과 방전시점에 따른 제 세동 효과를 평가하였다.

The natural crosslinking agent genipin has been applied widely in biomedicines and foods nowadays. Because of the special hemiacetal ring structure in its molecule, it can only be prepared by hydrolysis of geniposide according to biocatalysis. In this research, strategies including aqueous-organic biphasic catalysis and substrate fed-batch mode were adopted to improve the biocatalysis process of genipin. A 10 L ethyl acetate-aqueous biphasic system with geniposide fed-batch led to a satisfying genipin yield. With Fusarium solani ACCC 36223, 15.7 g/l genipin in the ethyl acetate phase was obtained, corresponding to space-time yields of 0.654 g l^-1 h^-1.

The use of peroxidase in the nitration of phenols is gaining interest as compared with traditional chemical reactions. We investigated the kinetic characteristics of phenol nitration catalyzed by horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in an aqueous-organic biphasic system using n-butanol as the organic solvent and ${NO_2}^-$ and $H_2O_2$ as substrates. The reaction rate was mainly controlled by the reaction kinetics in the aqueous phase when appropriate agitation was used to enhance mass transfer in the biphasic system. The initial velocity of the reaction increased with increasing HRP concentration. Additionally, an increase in the substrate concentrations of phenol (0-2 mM in organic phase) or $H_2O_2$ (0-0.1 mM in aqueous phase) enhanced the nitration efficiency catalyzed by HRP. In contrast, high concentrations of organic solvent decreased the kinetic parameter $V_{max}/K_m$. No inhibition of enzyme activity was observed when the concentrations of phenol and $H_2O_2$ were at or below 10 mM and 0.1 mM, respectively. On the basis of the peroxidase catalytic mechanism, a double-substrate ping-pong kinetic model was established. The kinetic parameters were ${K_m}^{H_2O_2}=1.09mM$, ${K_m}^{PhOH}=9.45mM$, and $V_{max}=0.196mM/min$. The proposed model was well fit to the data obtained from additional independent experiments under the suggested optimal synthesis conditions. The kinetic model developed in this paper lays a foundation for further comprehensive study of enzymatic nitration kinetics.

In this study, interface-assembled carbonyl reductase (IACR) was prepared and used in the synthesis of S-licarbazepine in a toluene/Tris-HCl biphasic system. The carbonyl reductase (CR) was conjugated with polystyrene to form a surfactant-like structure at the interface of the toluene/Tris-HCl biphasic system. The interface-assembled efficiency of IACR reached 83% when the CR (180 U/mg) and polystyrene concentration were $8{\times}10^2g/ml$ and $3.75{\times}10^3g/ml$, respectively. The conversion reached 95.6% and the enantiometric excess of S-licarbazepine was 98.6% when $3.97{\times}10^6nmol/l$ oxcarbazepine was converted by IACR using 6% ethanol as a co-substrate in toluene/Tris-HCl (12.5:10) at $30^{\circ}C$ and $43{\times}g$ for 6 h. IACR could be reused efficiently five times.

Intervertebral disc(IVD) mainly consists of Annulus fibrosus(AF) and Nucleus pulposus(NP), playing a role of distributing a mechanical load on vertebral body. IVD tissue engineering has been developed the methods to achieve anatomic morphology and restoration of biological function. The goal of present study is to identify the possibilities for creating a substitute of IVD the morphology and biological functions are the same as undamaged complete IVD. To fabricate the AF and NP combine biphasic IVD tissue, AF tissue scaffolds have been printed by 3D bio-printing system with natural biomaterials and NP tissues have been prepared by scaffold-free culture system. We evaluated whether the combined structure of 3D printed AF scaffold and scaffold-free NP tissue construct could support the architecture and cell functions as IVD tissue. 3D printed AF scaffolds were printed with 60 degree angle stripe patterned lamella structure(the inner-diameter is 5mm, outer-diameter is 10 mm and height is 3 mm). In the cytotoxicity test, the 3D printed AF scaffold showed good cell compatibility. The results of histological and immunohistochemical staining also showed the newly synthesized collagens and glycosaminoglycans, which are specific makers of AF tissue. And scaffold-free NP tissue actively synthesized glycosaminoglycans and type 2 collagen, which are the major components of NP tissue. When we combined two engineered tissues to realize the IVD, combined biphasic tissues showed a good integration between the two tissues. In conclusion, this study describes the fabrication of Engineered biphasic IVD tissue by using enable techniques of tissue engineering. This fabricated biphasic tissue would be used as a model system for the study of the native IVD tissue. In the future, it may have the potential to replace the damaged IVD in the future.

As an attempt to replacing petroleum-based chemicals with bio-based ones, synthesis of furfural from biomass-derived xylose attracts much attention in recent days. Conventionally, furfural from xylose has been produced via the utilization of highly corrosive, toxic, and environmentally unfriendly mineral acids such as sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid. In this study, microwave-assisted biphasic reaction process in the presence of novel bio-based heterogeneous acid catalysts was developed for the eco-benign and effective synthesis of furfural from xylose. The microwave was irradiated for reaction acceleration and a biphasic system consisting of $H_2O$ : MIBK (1 : 2) was designed for continuous extraction of furfural into the organic phase in order to reduce the undesired side products formed by decomposition/condensation/oligomerization in the acidic aqueous phase. Moreover, sulfonated amorphous carbonaceous materials were prepared from wood powder, the most abundant lignocellulosic biomass. The prepared catalysts were characterized by FT-IR, XPS, BET, elemental analysis and they were used as bio-based heterogeneous acid catalysts for the dehydration of xylose into furfural more effectively. For further optimization, the effect of temperature, reaction time, water/organic solvent ratio, and substrate/catalyst ratio on the xylose conversion and furfural yield were investigated and 100% conversion of xylose and 74% yield of furfural was achieved within 5 h at $180^{\circ}C$. The bio-based heterogeneous acid catalysts could be used three times without any significant loss of activity. This greener protocol provides highly selective conversion of xylose to furfural as well as facile isolation of product and bio-based heterogeneous acid catalysts can alternate the environmentally-burdened mineral acids.

In this paper, an automatic external biphasic defibrillator that removes ventricular fibrillation efficiently with a low discharging energy has been developed. The system is composed of software including a fibrillation detection algorithm and a system control algorithm, and hardware including a high voltage charging/discharging part and a signal processing part. The stability of the developed system has been confirmed through continuous charging/discharging test of 160 times and the detection capability of the real-time fibrillation detection algorithm has been estimated by applying a total of 30 various fibrillation signals. In order to verify the clinical efficiency and safety, the system has been applied to five pigs before and after fibrillation inductions. Also, we have investigated the system efficiency in removing fibrillation by applying two different discharging waveforms, which have the same energy but different voltage levels.
