Hot-water extract, Fr. 1, of Phellinus linteus mycelium was fractionated into Fr. 2, 3, 4, and 5 by the difference of solubility in ethanol. The polysaccharide fractions were studied for their immunostimulating activity on in vitro T-independent polyc1onal antibody response to trinitrophenyl-haptened SRBC (sheep red blood cell). The Fr. 4 with the highest immunostimulating activity was subjected to DEAE-cellulose ion exchange chromatography and gave five fractions, 4-I, II, III, IV, and V. The in vitro immunostimulating assay of the five fractions showed that 4-I and 4-III had a similar activity to that of LPS but the other fractions had low activity. By analyses of chemical composition and HPLC, all fractions obtained were found to be heteropolysaccharide-protein complex. The molecular weights ranged from 9, 000 to 15, 000. Sugar analyses showed that glucose, galactose, mannose, arabinose, and xylose were main component. Uronic acid and amino sugar were also detected in the fractions. It should be noted that the molecular weight (15, 000) of 4-III was very small and the structure of 4-III may be different from the known immunostimulating branched $\beta$-(1longrightarrow3)-glucan.

목재의 탄화기구를 이해하기 위하여 굴참나무재를 사용하여 $250{\sim}740^{\circ}C$의 온도조건에서 탄화하였다. 탄화온도가 높아질수록 시험체의 부피는 수축하였고, 방사 방향으로 할렬이 발생하였다. 탄화온도가 증가함에 따라 목탄의 중량감소율은 증가되었으며, 특히 탄화온도 $300{\sim}340^{\circ}C$에서 급격히 증가하는 경향이 나타났다. 목재의 도관은 탄화 시 방사방향보다 접선방향으로 매우 크게 수축하였다. 탄화온도 $250{\sim}300^{\circ}C$의 경우, 목섬유나 도관 주위의 유세포들이 탄화되지 않은 세포벽 형태를 보여주었다. 그러나 탄화온도 $340^{\circ}C$이상에서는 세포벽층이 매끄러운 비결정형인 목탄의 형태가 관찰되기 시작하였다. 탄화온도 $300^{\circ}C$까지는 목재 셀룰로오스의 결정성이 남아있었으나 $340^{\circ}C$ 이상에서는 비결정성으로 변화되고 있는 것이 관찰되었다.

Most, if not all, Basidiomycetes mushrooms have biologically active polysaccharides showing potent antitumor activity with immunomodulating properties. These polysaccharides have various chemical compositions and belong primarily to the $\beta$-glucan group. In this study, the crude water-soluble polysaccharide HEF-P, which was obtained from the fruiting body of Hericium erinaceus by hot water extraction and ethanol precipitation, was fractionated by DEAE-cellulose and Sepharose CL-6B column chromatographies. This process resulted in four polysaccharide fractions, named HEF-NP Fr I, HEF-NP Fr II, HEF-AP Fr I, and HEF-AP Fr II. Of these fractions, HEF-AP Fr II was able to upregulate the functional events mediated by activated macrophages, such as production of nitric oxide and expression ofcytokines (IL-1${\beta}$ and TNF-${\alpha}$). The molecular mass of HEF-AP Fr II was estimated by gel filtration to be 13 kDa. Its structural characteristics were investigated by a combination of chemical and instrumental analyses, including methylation, reductive cleavage, acetylation, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Results indicate that HEF-AP Fr II is a low-molecular-mass polysaccharide with a laminarin-like triple helix conformation of a ${\beta}$-1,3-branched-${\beta}$-1,6-glucan.

Outer membrane proteins(OMPs) of Brucella abortus 1119-3 strain were extracted by Triton X-100 treatment, and fractionated by DEAE-cellulose column chromatography and Sephacryl S-300 column chromatography. The antigenic proteins in these fractions were identified by Western blot analysis. In Western blot analysis, a single band(38kDa) was observed in the DEAE fractions from 36th fraction to 38th fraction against sera of cattle infected with B abortus. And other fractions have several bands. However, the Sephacryl S-300 fractions exhibited a total of 3 peaks of proteins with a broad range from about 30 to 116kDa. In order to characterize further, the extracted OMPs and the DEAE fractions were analyzed by two dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(2-DE) and Western blot using serum from naturally infected cattle with Brucella spp. The 2-DE immunoblots of DEAE fraction showed immunoreactive spots more than twenty two. The major protein spots have ranging from about 32 to 47kDa. The pI values of the spots were detected from pH 4.7 to 5.4. Among the major protein spots, the 38kDa protein which is a specific antigen, located at the point of approximately a pI 4.8.

Recent days, various inner wears, sheets and interior goods are manufactured using materials dyed with loess emphasizing its improved blood circulation, metabolism, anti-bacterial, deodorizing properties, and far-infrared ray emissions. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of chitosan treatment on the dyeing of cotton fabric using loess as colorants. Particle size of loess, the morphology and dyeability(K/S) of chitosan crosslinked cotton fabrics, and washing durability of loess dyed cotton fabric were investigated. In this study, cotton fabrics were treated with a crosslinking agent, epichlorohydrin, in the presence of chitosan to improve the dyeing properties of cotton fabrics with natural dye by the chemical linking of chitosan to the cellulose structure. This process was applied by means of the conventional mercerizing process. The results obtained were as follows; Mean average diameter of loess was $1.13{\mu}m$. According to various conditions, the optimum dyeing conditions for cotton fabrics pretreated by 1% chitosan treatment was where 10%(owb) of loess was applied at $90^{\circ}C$ for 120minutes, while for cotton fabrics without chitosan treatment was where 15%(owb) of loess was applied at $90^{\circ}C$ for 150minutes. Overall, K/S value of loess dyed cotton fabric pretreated with 1% chitosan was higher than that of cotton fabrics without chitosan treatment. The Color fastness, washing fastness and light fastness of loess were excellent as 4-5grade.

Colloidal silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been commercialized as the typically stabilized form via the addition of a variety of surfactants or polymers. Herein, to examine the effects of stabilizing AgNPs in suspension, we modified the surface of bare AgNPs with four type of surfactants (NaDDBS, SDS, TW80, CTAB) and polymers (PVP, PAA, PAH, CMC). The modified AgNPs was applied to compare suspension stability and nanotoxicity test using Escherichia coli (E. coli) as a model organism. Modification of AgNPs surface using chemical stabilizer may be not related with molecular weight, but chemical structure such as ionic state and functional group of stabilizer. In this study, it is noteworthy that AgNPs modified with a cationic stabilizer (CTAB, PAH) were importantly toxic to E. coli, rather than anionic stabilizers (NaDDBS, SDS). Comparing similar anionic stabilizer, i.e., NaDDBS and SDS, the result showed that lipophilicity of chemical structure can affect on E. coli, because NaDDBS, which contains a lipophilic benzene ring, accelerated the cytotoxicity of AgNPs. Interestingly, none of the stabilizers tested, including biocompatible nonionic stabilizers (i.e., TW80 and cellulose) caused a reduction in AgNP toxicity. This showed that toxicity of AgNPs cannot be reduced using stabilizers.

Some ammonium oxalate soluble pectic fragments prepared from cultured cell wall of Ephycla distrahya elicited the accumulation of p-coumarocylamino acids (p-CAA) in E. distachya cultures while water soluble and alkali soluble fractions had no activity. Partial purification of the pectic fragments fraction using DEAE-cellulose chromatography afforded two active fractions (PS-I and PS-II) which were composed of mainly uronic acids (98-99 w/w %). They elicited the accumulation of p-CAA in an amount of 52-60 nmol per gram fresh weight of cultures. The acidic sugar compositions of PS-I and PS-II were found to be galacturonic acid and glucuronic acid by TLC analysis. They were supposed to act as endogenous elicitors of p-CAA accumulation. In order to investigate the effect of ethylene on p-CAA accumulation, Ethrel, which is known as ethylene generator, and ACC(1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid), a direct precusor of ethylene biosynthesis, were added to the culture. However, they did not glycopeptide elicitor [(Con A-II)], either. Consequently, no relationships between ethylene and p-CAA accumulation were recognized. Several tentative elicitors were teted for their activity. Commercial yeast glucan, $CuCl_2$, laminarin and laminariheptaose had slight activity whereas ${\alpha}$-methylmannopyranoside and commercial yeast mannan had no elicitor activity. ${\alpha}$-methylmannopyranoside which has been known as a tentative inhibitor of glucan elicitor in Glycine max did not affect on the elicitor activity of Con A-II.

The effects of catalysts addition on the pyrolysis reaction of biomass have been studied in a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). The sample biomasses were Bamboo, Pine and Hinoki. The catalysts tested were K, Zn, Cu metal compounds. The pyrolysis reactions were tested in the nonisothermal condition from the room temperature to $550^{\circ}C$ at a heating rate $50^{\circ}C/min$ on the flowing of $N_2$ purge gases. Cellulose contents of Bamboo was higher than that of Pine and Hinoki. As the results, the pyrolysis reaction of volatile matter was finished near the temperature $450^{\circ}C$. The initial decomposition temperatures of the volatile matters ($T_i$) were $165^{\circ}C$ for Bamboo, $190^{\circ}C$ for Pine, and $193^{\circ}C$ for Hinoki. $T_i$ decreased with increasing the catalyst amounts in the sample biomasses. The temperature of maximum reaction rate ($T_{max}$) were $338^{\circ}C$ for Bamboo, $378^{\circ}C$ for Pine, and $377^{\circ}C$ for Hinoki. The effects of catalysts addition on the $T_{max}$ were to decreased it. The reducing effects about $T_{max}$ was the most effective for K metal compounds catalyst. The char amounts remained after pyrolysis at $550^{\circ}C$ were 26.2% for Bamboo, 20.7% for Pine, and 20.9% for Hinoki. The char amounts increased with the catalyst amounts.
