The characteristics of de-emulsification of pertroleum emulsion by Nocardia amarae were investigated. Insoluble medium containing n-hexadecane was more effective than soluble medium in de-emulsification of emulsion containing diesel and bunker C as the organic phase. Emulsion made by the addition of xanthan or bioemulsifier was de-emulsified by N. amarae, and longer culture age was effective. In low viscosity range, organic phase with longer carbon chain was more effective. The contact, angle between bacterial film and water droplet in air increased from 16 degree for 4 day culture age to 26 degree for 15 day. The contact angle between bacterial film and water droplet in kerosene, n-heyxane or n-hexadecane also increased to greater than 100 degree after 3 day culture age. The hydrophobicity of bactgerial film increased according to the culture age.

Oxyapatite[Ca₂Nd₈(SiO₄)₆O₂] glass-ceramics have been suggested as wasteforms for the immobilisation of rare-earth radioactive nuclides because of their high waste-loading capability and good chemical durability. In particular, a partitioning effect is predicted to contribute to an enhancement of corrosion resistance in glass-ceramics compared with that of conjugate glasses of the same composition. Because rare-earths are inherently insoluble nuclides, detection of changes in corrosion behavior between glass-ceramics and conjugate glasses under normal conditions is not easy. In this study, therefore, we revealed the partitioning effect by exposing glass-ceramics and glasses to solution of pH 2, 7 and 10 at 90 ℃ for 20 d. In addition, we proposed the corrosion mechanism for oxyapatite glass-ceramics under various corrosion conditions. Especially, the glassy phase dissolved first, followed by the oxyapatite phase during pH 7 corrosion.

이 연구는 효모 세포를 catabolic repression과 derepression시켰을 때, poly-P 합성 및 분해에 직접 관련된 tripoly-Pase와 poly-Pase의 활성도 동태를 조사하여 세포내 인산 대사 조절양상을 해석하고자 하였다. 또 TLC 방법을 통하여 무기 폴리인산을 분석하고, 배양시기 및 인산 첨가배양에 따른 무기폴리인산의 세포내 축적 상태, 세포내 위치, 전환과정을 조사하기 위해 염색을 통한 volutin 과립의 세포학적 관찰을 행하였다. Tripoly-Pase 활성도는 catabolic repression시킨 세포에서 derepression된 세포에 비하여 6배 이상 증가하였으며, poly-Pase 활성도는 산 불용성 무기폴리인산인 poly-P-"B"가 최대 축적량을 나타날 시기에 최대의 활성도를 보였다. Linear poly-P의 분석에서는 tripoly-P가 주로 검출되었고 n>8이상인 poly-P가 다량 검출되었다. catabolic derepression시킨 세포에서 volutin과립의 형성을 세포학적으로 관찰하였을 때, 세포벽에 존재하는 산 불용성 무기 폴리인산이 우선적으로 합성되었으며, 배양함에 따라 세포질, 핵 또는 액포로 전이되었다.

상이동 촉매기법을 기반으로 한 rose bengal 시약은 중성이나 염기성 용액에서 녹지 않는 난용성 염을 형성하는 칼슘을 타겟팅하는 시약으로, 물에 젖은 검체에서 잠재지문 현출시 효과적일 것으로 기대되어 최근 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 그 동안 선행연구에서는 rose bengal 시약으로 현출된 지문의 형광 특성을 관찰하지 않았을 뿐만 아니라 제시된 시약의 제조법 또한 최적 현출 조건인지 검토되지 않았다. 이에 본 연구는 rose bengal 염료의 최대방출형광을 바탕으로 rose bengal염료와 상이동촉매제(Tetrabutylammonium)의 농도를 달리하여 최적의 시약 조성을 찾고자 하였다. 그 결과 rose bengal과 상이동촉매제의 농도가 각 0.01 M: 0.008 M일 때 가장 효과적인 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

고지혈증 치료제로 잘 알려져 있는 난용성 약물인 심바스타틴(Simvastatin)을 대상으로 더메틸에테르를 용매로 사용하고 초임계이산화탄소를 역용매로 사용하는 초임계 역용매 재결정법에 의해 약물 미세입자를 제조할 때, 운전조건을 설정하는데 활용될 수 있는 가이드라인을 제공하기 위하여 simvastatin/디메틸에테르/초임계이산화탄소 3성분계 혼합물의 상거동을 연구하였다. 가변부피 투시 셀이 장착된 고압 상평형장치를 사용하여 여러 가지 조건에서 3성분계 혼합물의 구름점(cloud point)을 측정함으로서 디메틸에테르와 초임계이산화탄소의 혼합용매에서 simvastatin의 용해도를 온도, 압력, 용매 조성의 함수로 결정하였다. 주어진 온도에서 simvastatin 약물의 용해도는 디메틸에테르의 조성과 압력이 증가할수록, 온도가 감소할수록 증가하였다.

Monoliths are functional porous materials with a three-dimensional continuous interconnected pore structure in a single piece. A monolith with uniform shape based on poly(${\gamma}$-glutamic acid) (PGA) has been prepared via a thermally induced phase separation technique using a mixture of dimethyl sulfoxide, water, and ethanol as solvent. The morphology of the obtained monolith was observed by scanning electron microscopy and the surface area of the monolith was evaluated by the Brunauer Emmett Teller method. The effects of fabrication parameters such as the concentration and molecular mass of PGA and the solvent composition have been systematically investigated. The PGA monolith was cross-linked with hexamethylene diisocyanate to produce the water-insoluble monolith. The addition of sodium chloride to the phase separation solvent affected the properties of the cross-linked monolith. The swelling ratio of the cross-linked monolith toward aqueous solutions depended on the buffer pH as well as the monolith fabrication condition. Copper(II) ion was efficiently adsorbed on the cross-linked PGA monolith, and the obtained copper-immobilized monolith showed strong antibacterial activity for Escherichia coli. By combination of the characteristic properties of PGA (e.g., high biocompatibility and biodegradability) and the unique features of monoliths (e.g., through-pore structure, large surface area, and high porosity with small pore size), the PGA monolith possesses large potentials for various industrial applications in the biomedical, environmental, analytical, and separation fields.

A strain of Streptomyces sp. SK-862, isolated from soil in Wonju city, was able to prodce a biologically active substance that has a strong inhibitory activity against proteolsis by trypsin. The inhyibitory substance was extracted by n-butanol, and then purified by the adsorption chromatography followed by the reverse-phase high performacne liquid chromatography. The purified substance was stable over the pH range from 2 to 10, but was unstable when treated at 8$0^{\circ}C$ for 60 min. This substance was soluble in water, methanol, ethanol nd butanol, but insoluble in chlorofrom and ethylacetate. The Rf value of the purified substance on the thin layer chromatography were 0.56 in n-butanol : methanol : water(5 : 3 : 1v/v) solvent system compare dto 0.23 in ethanol : ammonium hydoxide : water(8 : 1 : 1v/v) solvent system. This substance has maximum absorption at 259 nm. The chemical reaction of the substance was negative for sugar but positive for ninhydrine and iodine reaction.

Metoclopramide reacts with ammonium cobaltothiocyanate to form a stable ion pair which has an absorption maximum of 625mm. The reaction product was insoluble in water but soluble in most organic solvents. 1,2-Dichlorethane was the best extracting solvent among the several organic solvents tested. Metoclopramide can be determinded not only by visible light spectrophotometry but also indirectly by estimation of cobalt in the organic phase by flameless atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Linear relationship was found between absorbance and concentration in the range of 10$^{-4/}$-10$^{-3}$M by spectrophotometry and 10$^{-5}$-10$^{-4}$M by flameless atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The coefficient of variation by spectrophotometry was 0.9% and that of flameless atomic absorption was 1.8%. There was no interference with excipients, pH, temperature and reaction time. With this method, it is possible to determine accurately metoclopramide and tertiary amines in pharmaceutical preparations.

Simple procedures have been devised for purifying recombinant human interleukin-2 (hIL-2), which was expressed in Escberichia coli using sequences of glucagon molecules and enterokinase cleavage site as an N-terminus fusion partner. The insoluble aggregates of recombinant fusion protein produced in E. coli cytoplasm were easily dissolved by simple alkaline pH shift $(8\rightarrow12\rightarrow8)$. Following enterokinase cleavage, the recombinant hIL-2 was finally purified by one-step reversed-phase HPLC with high purity. The ease and high efficiency of this simple purification process seem to mainly result from the role of used glucagon fusion partner, which could be applied to the production of other therapeutically important proteins.

Nanoemulsions have been widely investigated for many years because of their attractive and unique characteristics. Nanoemulsions are composed of oil, surfactant, co-surfactant and water. Especially, cosurfactant plays a critical role in formation of nanoemulsions. In pharmaceutical area, a pre-concentrate form of nanoemulsions which is known as self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems (SNEDDS) was available for some water-insoluble drugs. In this study, we investigated the functional behaviors of cosurfactant in design of SNEDDS and nanoemulsions. Cremophor RH 40$^{(R)}$, Propylene carbonate and medium chain triglyceride were selected for surfactant, cosurfactant and oil, respectively. Cyclosporine was employed as a drug. Phase diagrams showed the area of isotropic o/w region which forms o/w nanoemulsions was not significantly affected by the compositional ratio of cosurfactant. But, drug solubilization capacity, droplet size of nanoemulsions and drug release rate were greatly affected by the cosurfactant.
