Poly(D,L-lactic acid) (PLA) microspheres containing alprazolam(APZ) were prepared by a solvent-emulsion evaporation method and their release patterns were investigated in vitro. Various batches of microspheres with different size and drug content were obtained by changing the ratio of APZ to PLA, PLA concentration in the dispersed phase and stirring rate. Rod-like APZ crystals on microsphere surface, which were released rapidly and could act as a loading dose, were observed with increasing drug content. The release rate was increased with increase in drug contents and decrease in the molecular weight of PLA. The release rate of APZ for long-acting injectable delivery system in vitro, which would aid in predicting in vitro release profile, could be controlled by properly optimizing various factors affecting characteristics of microspheres.

Bacillus amyloliquefacieus 01용한 회분식 배양시 탄소원인 maltose와 glucose에서 저해제 acetic a acid, lactic acid가 세포성장과 생성물 생성에 미치 는 영향에 대해 검토한 결과, acetic acid가 저해제 로 작용함을 확인하였고, acetic acid 첨가시 초기농 도가 증가할수록 세포성장은 현저하게 감소되었다. ${\alpha}$-Amylase 생성 최대치는 maltose $10g/\ell$ 의 경우 a acetic acid 초기농도 $0.5g/\ell$ 일때 24시간 배양시에 l25unit/ml로 가장 높았고, glucose $10g/\ell$ 의 경우 acetic acid 초기놓도 $2.0g/\ell$ 일때 20시간 배양시에 331.55unit/ml로 가장 높았다. Acetic acid 초기농 도가 과량 일때는 세포의 성장이 최저 상태이고, ${\alpha}$-amylase 생성도 급격히 감소하였다. 저해제로 ace­t tic acid 첨가시 탄소원인 maltose와 glucose를 비 교하면 glucose에서 maltose 보다는 세포가 더 성장되었고, ${\alpha}$-amylase의 생성도 더 많게 나타났으며, 두 가지 탄소원에 다같이 저해 작용을 나타냈다.

This study describes a novel strategy to regulate the metabolic flux for lactic acid production in Lactobacillus casei. The ldhL gene encoding _L-lactate dehydrogenase (L-LDH) was overexpressed in L. casei, and a two-stage oxygen supply strategy (TOS) that maintained a medium oxygen supply level during the early fermentation phase, and a low oxygen supply level in the later phase was carried out. As a consequence, a maximum L-LDH activity of 95.6 U/ml was obtained in the recombinant strain, which was over 4-fold higher than that of the initial strain. Under the TOS for L. casei (pMG-ldhL), the maximum lactic acid concentration of 159.6 g/l was obtained in 36 h, corresponding to a 62.8% increase. The results presented here provide a novel way to regulate the metabolic flux of L. casei for lactic acid production in different fermentation stages, which is available to enhance organic acid production in other strains.

Poly(L-lactic acid-co-succinic acid-co-l,4-butane diol) (PLASB) was synthesized by direct condensation copolymerization of L-lactic acid (LA), succinic acid (SA), and 1,4-butanediol (BD) in the bulk using titanium(IV) butoxide as a catalyst. The weight-average molecular weight ofPLASB was $2.1{\times}10^{5}$ when the contents of SA and BD were each 0.5 mol/100 mol of LA. Electrospinning was used to fabricate porous membranes from this newly synthesized bioabsorbable PLASB dissolved in mixed solvents of methylene chloride and dimethylformamide. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images indicated that the fiber diameters and nanostructured morphologies of the electrospun membranes depended on the processing parameters, such as the solvent ratioand the polymer concentration. By adjusting both the solvent mixture ratio and the polymer concentration, we could fabricate uniform nanofiber non-woven membranes. Cell proliferation on the electrospun porous PLASB membranes was evaluated using mouse fibroblast cells; we compare these results with those of the cell responses on bulk PLASB films.

This study was performed to investigate the possibility of the addition of mugwort herb extract (MH) and vitamin C (VC) alone (0.05%) and in combination (0.05% each) on shelf-life of seasoned pork. The combination of VC+MH demonstrated a significant reduction in thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, and volatile basic nitrogen in seasoned pork. Also, the pH values, total lactic acid concentration, lactic acid bacteria count, and the sensory properties (discoloration, flavor, and overall acceptability) of seasoned pork were not significantly affected by adding MH and/or VC. All seasoned pork were rejected by sensory panel when LAB count reached levels of 5-6 Log CFU/g, TLA concentration has been above a level of 3.6-3.9 mg lactic acid/g, and pH values ranged from 5.31-5.51 (15 d). Therefore, the findings showed that spoilage of seasoned pork does not appear to be the result of lipid oxidation, but is caused by lactic acid producing bacteria which result in sour odor.

The objective of the present study is to analyze the lactic acid bacteria (LAB) effects on rye silage fermentation at different stages. Different stages (Booting, Heading, Flowering, and Late flowering stage) of rye were collected from the National livestock farm, National Institute of Animal Science, South Korea. Rye sample was inculcated with lactic acid bacteria and incubated at the anaerobic condition for three months. The nutrient profile such as crude protein (CP), Acid detergent fibre, Neutral detergent fibre and total digestibility nutrients were increased in both control and LAB inculcated samples at all the stages of rye forage. The pH of rye silage was reduced at both stages by LAB inoculation as compared with control. The lactate content was increased in all stages of rye sample by LAB. The acetate concentration and butyrate was reduced in LAB inoculated rye sample. However, acetate concentration was slightly high in LAB inculcated rye at heading and late flowering stage. The LAB population was greater in LAB inoculated rye sample as compared with control sample. However, the massive population was noted in booting stage of rye than the other stages. It indicates the inoculated LAB is the main reason for increasing fermentation quality in the sample through pH reduction by lactate production. Overall results suggest that the isolated lactic acid bacterium is the potent strain that could be suitable for rye forage fermentation at different stages.

The end products of the metabolism of the oral microorganism, organic acids, are an element that produces dental caries. Four organic acids in plaque fluid, lactic acid, acetic acid, succinic acid, propionic acid which take the important role in producing dental caries, were chosen to evaluate the effect of acid type and concentration. The subject, $100{\mu}m$ in thickness, were immersed in acid-buffer solution which has the different acid concentration of 10mM, 25mM, 50mM, 100mM and pH 4.3 and degree of saturation was $0.153{\pm}0.003$ kept in constant and were operated to produce artificial caries under different demineralization time (1, 2, 3 day) at x25. The results were obtained by observing under polarizing microscope at x25. 1. The subsurface lesion, specific finding of incipient enamel caries, showed positive birefringence. but surface zone and sound enamel showed negative birefringence. 2. The demineralization rate of enamel was increased as the acid concentration increased. 3. The subsurface lesion showed increasing depth in the order of lactic, acetic, propionic acid, succinic acid. 4. The concentration of organic acid in artificial caries system had an independent effect on demineralization rate in enamel under the constant pH and degree of saturation. The result of this study showed that not only pH and the acid strength but the concentration of organic acid had an independent effect on demineralization rate in early enamel caries. And through the further research on the factors influencing enamel demineralization, it will be necessary to develop an effective caries preventive therapy.

본 연구는 유산균발효유의 타입에 따른 치아부식증의 발생정도를 확인하고, 치아부식증을 예방하는 방법을 확인하고자 하였다. 유산균발효유는 액상발효유, 스터드타입 농후발효유, 드링크타입 농후발효유를 사용했고, 실험에 사용된 치아시편은 우치를 사용했다. 치아부식증을 예방하는 방법으로 유산균발효유에 칼슘을 첨가하는 방법, 유산균발효유 노출 전 치아에 고농도와 저농도의 불소를 도포하는 방법과 이 두 가지 방법을 함께 적용하여 치아부식증의 예방효과를 측정했다. 시편을 실험음료를 침지한 결과 액상발효유의 표면경도가 가장 많이 감소했다. 예방처리 전과 후의 표면경도 차이를 비교했을 때 Ca 2%군과 NaF 0.05%+Ca 0.5%군은 음성대조군과 유의한 차이를 보이지 않아 치아부식증을 예방하는 효과적인 방법임을 확인했다. 하지만 맛의 변화 및 성분의 안정성 등을 고려할 때 고농도의 칼슘을 첨가하는 것 보다 저농도의 칼슘을 첨가하는 방법을 제안한다. 본 연구는 칼슘섭취와 불소도포를 단독으로 또는 동시에 적용함에 따른 차이를 확인하는 의미가 있는 연구이지만 타액 등 구강환경에 의한 작용이 배제되었기에 타액을 이용한 순환모델을 적용하는 후속연구가 필요할 것이다. 따라서 유산균발효 섭취 시 치아부식증의 가능성을 인식하고, 그로 인한 치아부식증을 예방하기 위해서는 저농도 칼슘과 저농도 불소를 함께 사용하는 것을 권장한다.

A two-stage process of nanofiltration and water-splitting electrodialysis was investigated for lactic acid recovery from fermentation broth. In this process, sodium lactate is isolated from fermentation broth in the first stage of nanofiltration by using an NTR-729HF membrane, and then is converted to lactic acid in the second stage by water-splitting electrodialysis. To determine the optimal operating conditions for nanofiltration, the effects of pressure, lactate concentration, pH, and known added impurities were studied. Lactate rejection was less than 5%, magnesium rejection approximated 45%, and calcium rejection was at 40%. In subsequent water-splitting electrodialysis, both the sodium lactate conversion to lactic acid and sodium hydroxide recovery, were about 95%, with a power requirement of $0.9{\sim}1.0\; kWh$ per kg of lactate.

Environmental endocrine disruptors (EDs) are toxic, hormone-like chemicals which can be found in our normal daily life. We have examined if EDs can inhibit the monocellular microorganisms such as lactic acid bacteria or if the growth of lactic acid bacteria could be resistant to the endocrine disruptors. We have used Lactobacillus paracasei subsp. paracasei (KCTC No. 3165) as an experimental strain and bisphenol A, benzophenone and phenylphenol for the comparison purpose. Experiments included the evaluation of turbidity, absorbance and actual cell counts. We found that No.3165 was somewhat resistant to EDs naturally, however, high concentration of EDs could inhibit the growth of No. 3165 completely. Different EDs showed different spectrum of inhibit. This study should contribute to the development of more resistant lactic acid bacteria to EDs and to the development of functional fermented beverage.
