Fish backbone, a major by-product in the fish processing industry, accounts for about 15% of whole fish weight. In this study, recovery of bioavailable calcium from Alaska pollack (Theragra chalcogramma) backbone by-products using enzymatic hydrolysis was investigated. Finely ground fish backbones were hydrolyzed with two proteolytic enzymes (pepsin and protease) to obtain soluble calcium from the by-products. The pepsin digest had a higher degradation efficiency (88%) than protease. Four different concentrations of the fish backbone calcium (100, 250, 500 and 1000 mg/L) prepared by the pepsin digest were treated with $Na_2HPO_4$ at a concentration gradient (0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 10, 15 and 20 mM) to evaluate their solubility, revealing that solubilities of the fish backbone calcium were superior to those of $CaCl_2$ at all the calcium and $Na_2HPO_4$ concentrations. Among the tested concentrations the highest solubility was found in the pepsin digest containing a calcium concentration of 1000 mg/L. Thus, hydrolyzing with pepsin is an effective mode of recovering bioavailable calcium from Alaska pollack fish backbones.

정제된 Aigeok Polysaccharide의 분자량은 $5.5{\times}10^4$ Da였고, 분자량 분포는 단분산도에 가까웠으며, FT-IR 스펙트럼으로부터 메칠에스테르화된 정도는 낮은 것으로 확인되었다. Aigeok polysaccharide의 겔화 속도는 칼슘이온과 온도에 크게 영향을 받으며 4.08mM 칼슘 이온이 첨가될 때까지는 탄성률의 세기가 증가하였다가 그 이상이 되면 저장탄성률과 손실탄성률 모두 감소하였다. Aigeok polysaccharide의 화학적 구조와 junction zone은 적절한 양의 칼슘이온에 의해 안정화됨을 알 수 있었고 과량의 칼슘농도하에서는 그물구조 형성이 방해를 받아 탄성률은 감소하였다. 겔화 속도 상수는 온도가 증가함에 따라 감소하였고 이는 Aigeok 분자간에 수소결합이 주된 역할을 한다는 것을 알 수 있었다. Aigeok polysaccharide의 겔화 능력은 4.08mM의 칼슘 첨가와 $5^{\circ}C$에서 가장 안정한 겔을 형성함을 알 수 있었고, 반응식이 겔화를 추정하는데 좋은 표준이 됨을 알 수 있었다.

단감 '부유' 품종은 저장 단감의 대부분을 차지하고 있다. 저장중 발생하는 과정부갈변 현상과 과피흑변 현상은 과일의 상품성 저하의 주 원인이 되고 있으며, 과실내에서 칼슘함량이 상대적으로 낮은 부위에서 단감의 갈변이 발생하고 있다. 따라서 본 시험은 재배 중 토양관주 및 엽면시비가 토양 수체 및 과실내 칼슘 함량과 갈변발생에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 실시하였다. 과실중 칼슘 함량은 Ca 엽면시비에서 칼슘 함량이 다른 처리구에 비해 가장 높게 나타났으며 다음으로 Ca + IBA 처리구와 Ca 관주 처리의 순으로 나타났다. 토양관주처리에 의한 흡수가 일정부분 이루어진 것으로 판단된다. 과일부위별 칼슘 함량은 경와부>적도면>과정부 순으로 나타나, 갈변이 주로 발생하는 부위인 과정부에서 가장 낮게 나타났다. 과일 특성 조사에서 당도, 경도, 중량은 처리간 뚜렷한 경향차를 보이지 않았다. 이후 저온 저장 후 상온 보관에서 1주일이 지났을 때 과정부갈변과 발생이 Ca 엽면시비에서 14%, Ca 관주에서 20%로 대조구의 50%에 비해 현저히 감소하는 경향을 보여주었다. 이상의 결과에서 토양관주처리와 엽면시비를 통해 토양, 엽 및 과실내 칼슘 함량이 증가함을 보여주었고, 특히 과실 과정부의 칼슘 함량의 증가로 저장중 과정부갈변이 크게 감소한 것으로 판단된다.

Propranolol is one of clinically useful antiarrhythmic agents and electrophysiologically classified as group II. And the negative inotropic effect which is not related to adrenolytic effect has been demonstrated with high concentration of propranolol. On the other hand, it has been well known that the calcium plays a central role in excitation-contraction coupling process of myocardium and also in electrophysiological changes of cell membrane. Author studies the effect of propranolol on calcium uptake and release in sarcoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria prepared from porcine myocardium to investigate the mechanism of action of propranolol on myocardium. The results are summarized as follow: 1] The maximum Ca++-uptake of sarcoplasmic reticulum is inhibited by propranolol in a dose dependent manner. 2] The release of calcium from sarcoplasmic reticulum is not affected by propranolol but with higher than 1x10-3 M of propranolol, rate of calcium release from sarcoplasmic reticulum is decreased. 3] Propranolol inhibits the maximum uptake and uptake rate of calcium in mitochondria non-competitively. [Ki = 6.21 x 10-4 M] 4] The rate of Na+ induced calcium release from mitochondrion shows a function of [Na+]2 and is inhibited by propranolol with the concentration significantly lower than that affect the calcium uptake in sarcoplasmic reticulum and in mitochondria [Ki = 2.91 x 10-5 M]. These results suggest that propranolol affects the intracellular calcium homeostasis which may considered to be one of the mechanism of action of propranolol on myocardium.

Emiliania huxleyi (a haptophyte) is the most abundant coccolithophore species that produces delicate calcite scales called coccoliths. In this study, we identified several candidate genes associated with coccolith production by comparing the transcriptomes of the calcifying (CCMP 371) and non-calcifying (CCMP 2090) strains of E. huxleyi. Among the candidates, genes highly expressed in CCMP 371 were identified. To confirm whether these genes are associated with calcification, we modulated coccolith production in CCMP 371 by culturing it at different calcium concentrations. At an ambient (10 mM) concentration of calcium in the growth medium, CCMP 371 sustained its calcifying ability. However, at a low (0.1 mM) concentration or absence of calcium, there was no calcite formation, demonstrating that calcium-limiting conditions negatively affect calcification. We also evaluated the expression patterns of the putative genes in cells grown at different calcium concentrations by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. In addition, we showed that the growth rate of cells cultured under calcium-limiting conditions does not differ from that under ambient conditions. Further studies are required to investigate the roles of the putative calcification-associated genes at the molecular level.

These are many kinds of self-hardening methods for sand mold using sodium silicate. When sodium silicate solution is mixed with calcium-orthosilicate powder hardening reaction occurs, which is based for self-hardening method at high temperature. The high temperature strength and resicual strength of mold are related to the mole ratio of sodium silicate and the contents of calcium-orthosilicate powder. The results obtained in this study were as follows: 1) The high temperature strength of mold was maximum at about $600^{\circ}C$, and at higher temperature showed lower value on the contrary. 2) The high temperature strength of mold was increased by increasing the amount of sodium silicate having lower mole ratio and high concentration. 3) The residual strength of mold was reduced by increasing the mole ratio of sodium silicate and increasing the concentration of calcium-orthosilicate.

The effects of dietary magnesium, calcium on the serum cholesterol concentration in rabbit was studied for a period of 21 days using isocalorids and isonitrogenous basal diet. It is investigated that the serum cholesterol level lowering by feeding with calcium, magnesium, sesame oil and perilla oil, did not appeared but perilla oil and magnesium feeding group appeared a little bit lowering. There was no effect for the total protein, but there was some sort of effect for albumin and globulin. Particulary, alpa-globulin was increased by calcium, magnesium, sesame oil and perilla oil feeding groups. The esterified cholesterol was increased at the magnesium and perilla oil diet group. It is also, investigate that there is almost no effect for the electrolytes concentration and transport phenomena in the cell through magnesium, calcium, sesame oil and perilla oil diet groups.

A cross-sectional study was performed to estimate the nutritional status of Korean male lead workers and to assess the relationship between calcium nutritional status and blood lead levels. A flood consumption survey was conducted by the 24-hr recall method with 118 lead workers and 63 non-lead exposed controls. Blood lead levels were analyzed from whole blood and serum calcium concentrations were also assessed. Results of dietary analysis showed Korean lead workers consumed relatively sufficient nutrients (more than 75% of RDA) except, calcium. Mean dietary calcium intake of lead workers was 502.2mg(72% of RDA) while that of the non-lead workers was estimated as 600.8mg(86% of RDA). Intakes of protein, iron, niacin and vitamin C of lead workers were significantly lower than those of non-lead workers. There was a wide range of blood lead levels(5.5 to 73.5$\mu\textrm{g}$/㎗) observed while mean blood lead level of lead workers was 30.9$\mu\textrm{g}$/㎗. However, 98% of lead workers showed normal serum ca1cium concentrations (range ; 8.9 to 10.7mg/㎗, mean ; 9.77mg/㎗) while 66% of lead workers were estimated to intake a dietary calcium lower than 75% of RDA. Mean blood lead levels of non-1ead workers were significantly lower(mean ; 5.1$\mu\textrm{g}$/㎗, p ＜ 0.001) and the serum calcium concentration was significantly higher(mean ; 10.20mg/㎗, p ＜ 0.001) than lead workers. Results of unadjusted correlation showed that serum calcium level and dietary calcium intake were negatively correlated with blood lead concentration. In a multiple regression of blood lead levels with variables known as affecting blood lead 1eve1 such as age, body mass index and occupational lead exposure, serum calcium was insignificant while dietary calcium intake showed statistically significant(p ＜ 0.05) relation. Since calcium is a very important nutrient to reduce hazardous effects of lead, it should be strongly recommended that lead workers need to increase dietary calcium intake.
