This study was conducted to investigate the antioxidative activity and tyrosinase inhibitory activity of 50% ethanol extract and its fractions from the branch of Rhododendron schlippenbachii. In DPPH radical scavenging ability, butanol and ethyl acetate fractions showed 59.98% and 55.17% of relative activity compared with positive control (ascorbic acid), but the 50% ethanol extract showed relatively low activity. In nitric oxide (NO) scavenging ability, the ethyl acetate and butanol fractions showed 141.80% and 131.55% relative activity compared with ascorbic acid as used for positive control. On the other hand, tyrosinase inhibitory activity of the ethyl acetate and butanol fractions showed about twice higher activity than positive control (arbutin). It means that the ethyl acetate and butanol fractions from the extract of R. schlippenbachii branch has ability for used as effective radical scavenger and tyrosinase inhibitor.

본 연구는 아이들이 문장제 또는 수식 형태의 나눗셈의 결과를 여러 타입의 분수들-진분수, 가분수, 대분수-과 연관시키면서 분수가 가지는 여러 하위 개념 중 몫에 대한 개념 도식을 어떻게 구성해 가는지에 대하여 미국의 5학년 초등학생 네 명을 대상으로 이루어졌다. 실험 결과는 다음과 같았다. 균등분배 상황에서, 아이들은 나눗셈을 두 가지 방식으로 개념화하였다. 첫째, 아이들이 나눗셈을 통해 대분수 형태의 몫을 산출했을 경우, 이 대분수 형태의 몫은 진분수와 가분수 형태의 분수들을 부분-전체의 하위개념이 아니라 몫이라는 하위개념으로 이해하는데 개념적인 기초가 되었다. 둘째, 진분수 형태의 몫을 얻은 경우, 아이들은 그 몫을 곱셈구조의 예로 보려는 경향이 있었다. 즉, $a{\times}b=c$ ; $a{\div}c=\frac{1}{b}$ ; $b{\div}c=\frac{1}{a}$. 하지만, 장제법 계산은 소수 형태의 몫을 생산함으로써 아이들이 이 구조를 깨닫는 것을 어렵게 했다.

Objectives: To evaluate residual disease in uterine cervical cancer patients treated with teletherapy using combined high dose rate Cobalt-60 brachytherapy. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study of uterine cervical cancer patients, FIGO stages IB-IVB (International Federation of Gynecologists and Obstetricians recommendations), treated by radiotherapy alone between April 1986 and December 1988 was conducted and the outcomes analysed. The patients were treated using teletherapy 50 Gy/25 fractions, five fractions per week to the whole pelvis together with HDR Cobalt -60 afterloading brachytherapy of 850 cGy/fraction, weekly to point A for 2 fractions. Results: The study covered 141 patients with uterine cervical cancer. The mean age was 50.0 years with a range of 30-78 years. The mean tumor size was 4.1 cm in diameter (range 1-8 cm). Mean follow - up time was 2.94 years (range 1 month-6.92 years). The overall incidence of residual locoregional disease was 3.5%. Residual disease, according to stage IIB, IIIB and IVA was present in 2.78%, 3.37% and 50.0%. It was noted that there was no evidence of residual disease in stage IB and IIA cases. Conclusion: Combined teletherapy along with high dose rate Cobalt -60 brachytherapy of 850 cGy/fraction, weekly to point A for 2 fractions resulted in overall 3.5% residual disease and a 96.5% complete response. The proposed recommendation for improving outcome is initiation of measurements for early detection of disease.

Water-soluble crude polysaccharide (TM-1) prepared from the leaves of Teucrium viscidum var. miquelianum was fractionated into three polysaccharide fractions, TM-2, TM-3 and TM-4 by the addition of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide. The major polysaccharide fraction, TM-2, consisted of glucose, galactose, rhamnose, mannose, glucuronic acid and galacturonic acid, and all fractions contained galactose and glutose as the major neutral sugars. TM-4 showed the highest anti-complementary activity. When TM-4 was futher fractionated by anion exchange chromatography, TM4- II a and TM4-II b showed the most Potent anti-complementary activity. TM4- II a was composed mainly of galactose, arabinose and glucose in the molar ratios of 2.13 : 0.94 : 1.00 respectively, and contained a small amount of galacturonic acid and glucuronic acid.

This study investigated the immuno-potentiating activities of Japanese mud shrimp Upogebia major. We examined the effects of enzymatic hydrolysate from U. major on the production of nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin $E_2$ ($PGE_2$) and on the expression of pro-inflammation cytokines including $TNF-{\alpha}$, IL-6 and $IL-1{\beta}$ in RAW 264.7 cells. The treatment of six enzymatic hydrolysates of U. major (alcalase, ${\alpha}$-chymotrypsin [${\alpha}-Chy$], trypsin, pepsin, neutrase, protamex) significantly increased the production of NO in RAW 264.7 cells, with ${\alpha}-Chy$ having the greatest effect. This hydrolysate was fractionated by two ultrafiltration membranes at 3 and 10 kDa to created three fractions (below 3 kDa, between 3 and 10 kDa, and above 10 kDa). Of these, the <3 kDa and >10 kDa fractions showed significant increases in NO production. These two fractions also induced $PGE_2$ production in RAW 264.7 cells and showed significant increases in the expression of all cytokines studied. These results suggest that enzymatic hydrolysate from U. major is a potentially useful food material with immune-potentiating effects.

In this paper, we investigate to determine quality characteristics, fatty acid composition and cytotoxic effect of extracts and fractions from whole Lycopus lucidus Turcz. roots. Additionally, we evaluated cytotoxic activity against the growth of human fibrosarcoma cells (HT-1080) and human gastric adenocarcinoma (AGS), human colon cancer cell (HT-29) lines using a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Acetone+methylene chloride (A+M) and methanol (MeOH) extracts from L. lucidus Turcz. were obtained through solvent extraction. Then we further fractionated both extracts with n-hexane, 85% aq. MeOH, n-butanol (n-BuOH) and water. In fatty acid composition, L. lucidus Turcz. contained 33.2% of 18:1n-9 and 1.81% of 18:3n-3, respectively. The incorporation of treatment with A+M and MeOH extracts and n-hexane, 85% aq. MeOH, n-butanol (n-BuOH) and water fractions dose-dependently increased cytotoxicity against the growth of HT-1080 and AGS, HT-29 cancer cells (p<0.05). The A+M extract had a higher inhibitory effect on the growth of all cancer cells in comparison to MeOH extract. Among the fractions, the 85% aq. MeOH and n-hexane fractions showed a higher inhibitory effect after proliferating the three cancer cells. These results suggest that the 85% aq. MeOH and n-hexane fractions have a potential to inhibit the growth of human cancer cell lines.

Contents of phytochemicals in citron (Citrus junos Sieb. ex Tanaka) seeds and their effects on antioxidant activities were investigated. Methanol extract of defatted citron seeds contained the highest amounts of total polyphenols followed by 70% ethanol and water extracts. Neohesperidin was the most predominant citrus flavanones in these extracts. The highest amounts of limonoids were found in methanol extract, and this extract was the most efficient in scavenging both DPPH and ABTS radicals. All 3 extracts also exhibited good antioxidant activities against attack of linoleate free radicals on $\beta$-carotene. When methanol extract was sequentially fractionated into ether, ethyl acetate, n-butanol, and water fractions, butanol fraction contained the highest amounts of polyphenols otherwise most of limonoids were concentrated in ethyl acetate fraction. A positive relationship between radical scavenging activities and total polyphenol contents in fractions was observed while antioxidant activity on $\beta$-carotene seemed more related with contents of limonoids and other hydrophobic polyphenols.

Whole plants of Zostera asiatica were extracted twice with acetone/methylene chloride (A+M) and methanol (MeOH) in turn. The combined crude extracts were evaporated in vacuo and then the residue was partitioned between water and methylene chloride. The aqueous layer was fractionated into $H_2O$ and n-butanol and then the organic layer was also fractionated into 85% aq. MeOH and n-hexane, successively. The crude extracts and their solvent fractions were evaluated for their inhibitory effect on growth of human cancer cells AGS, HT-29, MCF-7, and HT-1080 cells by MTT reduction assay. Among samples tested, 85% aq. MeOH and n-hexane fractions showed strong cytotoxic effect against AGS, HT-29, and MCF-7 cells. On the other hand, for HT-1080 cell, 85% aq. MeOH fraction exhibited the strongest cytotoxic effect.
