Ziperol, anti-tussive, is considerably bitter. Therefore, it is necessary to mitigate the bitterness in ziperol syrup for children. In this experiment, it was attempted to mitigate the bitterness of zipeprol by means of polymers such as $\beta$-cyclodextrin, arabic gum, HPMC(hydroxypropyl methylcellulose), PEG 2000(polyethyleneglycol 2000), PVP(polyvinylpyrrolidone). Caffeine was used as the reference standard of bitterness. In the result of this experiment, $\beta$-cyclodextrin, would mitigate the bitterness of zipeprol more largely than any other polymers. Arabic gum was the second choice which would mitigate the bitterness of zipeprol.

Subdural empyema is a rare form of intracranial sepsis associated with high morbidity and mortality. The most frequent cause is extension of paranasal sinusitis through emissary veins or of mastoiditis through the mucosa, bone, and dura mater. Development of subdural empyema after pyogenic meningitis is known to be very unusual in adults. We report a rare case of fatal subdural empyema, an unusual complication of pyogenic meningitis. Our bitter experience suggests that subdural empyema should be borne in mind in patient with pyogenic meningitis who exhibit neurological deterioration.

Rhabdomyolysis is a rare but potentially life-threatening disorder caused by the release of injured skeletal muscle components into the circulation. The authors report a case of severe head injury, in which a hyperosmolar state and continuous seizure complicated by severe rhabdomyolysis and acute renal failure evolved during the course of treatment resulted in a fatal outcome despite intensive supportive treatment. Our bitter experience suggests that rhabdomyolysis should be born in mind in patients with severe head injury who may develop hyperosmolar state and continuous seizure.

In order to investigate the conformational preferences to elicit the tastes, conformational free energy calculations using the empirical potential ECEPP/3 and the hydration shell model were carried out on the L-aspartyl dipeptide methyl esters, L-$\^$+/HAsp$\^$-/-D-Xaa-OMe, in the unhydrated state, where Xaa includes sweet (Ala, Abu, Ser, Thr, Val, and lle), bitter (Phe, Trp, and Leu), and tasteless (Tyr and Met) residues.

Simple coacervation of bovine serum albumin was studied to prepare biodegradable microacapsule. Albumin microcapsules were prepared by using acrylonitrilestyrene polymer (M-80) resin beads and sulfamethoxydiazine as the core materials. The albumin to beads ratio was found to be 1:2.3 and the albumin to sulfamethoxydiazine ratio to be 1:2.9. The 50% release times (T$_{50%}$) of sulfamethoxydiazine and microencapsulated sulfamethoxydiazine were 6 min. and 73 min., respectively. The surface appearance of the microcapsule collected after release experiment was not different from those of the original microcapsule. In addition to slowing release of drug the microencapsulation process masked characteristic bitter taste of sulfamethoxydiazine.

Taste is a critically important sense for the survival of an organism. However, structure and distribution of taste receptors were only recently investigated. Although expression of the ion channels responsible for the sense of salty taste and acidity was observed in the non-taste cells, receptors for sweet and bitter taste were only identified in taste cells. Salivary glands are involved in the sensing of taste and plays important roles in the transduction of taste. The purpose of this study is to examine whether taste receptors are present in the salivary glands and to provide clues for the investigation of the taste-salivary glands interaction. Using microarray and RT-PCR analyses, the presence of taste receptor mRNAs in the rat von Ebner gland and submandibular gland was confirmed. Type I taste receptors were preferentially expressed in von Ebner gland, whereas type II taste receptors were expressed in both von Ebner gland and submandibular gland. The tastespecific signal tranducing proteins, $G_{\alpha}gustducin$ and phospholipase C ${\beta}2$, were also detected in both salivary glands by immunohistochemistry. Finally, the activation of the calcium signal in response to bitter taste in the acinar cells was also observed. Taken together, these results suggest that taste receptors are present in the von Ebner gland and submandibular gland and that type II taste receptors are functionally active in both salivary glands.
