Most cases of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma occur in adults. MALT lymphoma is very rare in children. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is known to be an important etiologic factor predisposing to the development of gastric MALT lymphoma. A 12-year-old girl was admitted because of intermittent abdominal pain occurring over the preceding 2 years. Nodular gastritis of the stomach was demonstrated on endoscopy. H. pylori infection was confirmed using the rapid urease test and histopathology. Histopathological examination of gastric biopsy specimens revealed lymphoepithelial lesions pathognomonic of MALT lymphoma, and immunohistochemical staining for CD20 was diffusely positive. Therefore, the patient was diagnosed with gastric MALT lymphoma. Clinical manifestations and histopathologic findings compatible with MALT lymphoma improved with the eradication of H. pylori infection. We report a case of primary gastric MALT lymphoma in a child, associated with H. pylori infection and presenting as nodular gastritis.

The pulmonary lymphomas were thought to originate in specialized lymphoid tissue that is associated with bronchial mucosa(bronchus-associated lymphoid tissue(BALT)), and they were categorized as mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue(MALT) lymphoma. MALT lymphoma consists of a monoclonal population of cell, in contrast to reactive lymphoid proliferation, which consists of polyclonal cells. Lymphoma arising from MALT(=MALToma) represents a distinct clinicopathologic features. It is usually localized 10 their original site for a long time and shows much more favorable prognosis than lymphoma at other site. Some MALT lymphoma could arise simultaneously or successively in different organ or that cells from MALT lymphoma might circulate and give rise to another lymphoma by homing in the MALT of another organ, such as breast, salivary gland, stomach etc, and can be multifocally disseminated or recurred. We report a case of low-grade B-cell lymphoma of the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue(MALT) of the lung, which was confirmed by open lung biopsy, immunohistochemistry and PCR assay.

Barley has been used for the production of malt in the brewing industry. Malting is the process of preparing barley through partial germination. Malt extract is the most important quality parameter for malt quality. The grain and malt quality parameters of ten Korean malting barley varieties were studied. Malts was prepared using Phoeix automated micro malting system(Phoenix Bio, Australia). Quality analysis of Barley and malt was determined according to European brewery convention(EBC, 1998) and American society of brewing chemists(ASBC, 1997) method. And the hordeins of barley and malt were extracted with 50% isopropyl alcohol(IPA, 2-propanol) of 1% dithiothreitol(DTT). The analysis of hordeins was carried out by ultra-performance liquid chromatography(UPLC). The mean values of 1000-grains weight, assortment rate, protein content, starch content, beta-glucan content, husk rate, germination energy, germination capacity and water sensitivity of grain were 45.8g, 86.8%, 11.9%, 58.0%, 3.8%, 14.0%, 96.2%, 97.2%, 10.0%, respectively. The mean values of protein content, friability, diastatic power, extract, soluble protein, Kolbach index, beta-glucan of malt and wort were 11.3%, 87.6%, 201WK(Windish Kolbach), 79.3%, 4.6%, 41%, 85mg/L, respectively. UPLC analysis of grain and malt hordeins revealed that the amount of hordeins significantly degraded during malting. Also, we could successfully be used to compare hordein polypeptide patterns with malt quality.

Quality of Sikhe, the Korean conventional rice beverage depended on the characteristics of saccharifying activities of various amylases, intrinsic flavour, budding rate and so on. To improve the quality of Sikhe, characteristics of malt produced with wheat, covered barley and naked barley were evaluated. The germination rate of wheat was 82%, but those of naked and covered barley were 69% and 56% for 6 days, respectively. Malt prepared from germinated grains with 1.5~2.0 times length of buds had the highest saccharifying power. when the extraction of enzyme and reducing sugar was carried out at 5$0^{\circ}C$ for 4 hr, saccarifying power and reducing sugar contents were the highest. Malt of wheat had the highest saccharifying power. Malt of naked barley had higher saccharifying power than that of covered barley. The amylase types of wheat, covered barley and naked barley were similar to $\beta$-amylase.

Korean traditional Sikhye is made from rice and malt, and It's main product Is maltose. However commercial Sikhye differs from traditional Sikhye because it's main component is sucrose. Sikhye industry faces many problems such as contamination of malt with microorganisms, low amylase activity of malt and technical difficulties. There is no commercial Sikhye which is only using rice and malt by these reasons. To produce the traditional Sikhye free from these problems, it is necessary to restrict the microorganisms of malt and to standardize the amylase activity of malt. In addition, the Introduction of effective control and sanitaric process is required. In Sikhye production. if $\beta$-amylase and isoamylase or pullulanase were added, starch could be saccharified 100% as maltose. Accordingly, this method brings us the low cost of Sikhye.

${\alpha}-amylase\;and\;{\beta}-amylase$ were extracted from barley and wheat malt, respectively. Their kinetic parameters on gultinous and nonglutinous rice starch were examined. During the germination of barley and wheat, the increaments of ATP levels were significant after 2-day germination and the levels were reduced after 5 days. The dry weights were decreased after 3 days. The activities of amylases were the highest for 6 days in the barley and wheat malt. As for ${\alpha}-amylase$, that the substrate affinity of barley malt on nonglutionous rice starch was greater than other cases. The $V_{max}$ values of ${\alpha}-amylase$ from wheat malt on either type of rice starch showed high, and from barley malt on nonglutinous rice starch were high. The ${\beta}-amylse$ from barley malt showed high substrate affinity on the glutinous rice starch, and $V_{max}$ value of the enzyme from wheat malt on glutinous rice starch was higher than other. The substrate efficiency ($V_{max}/K_{m}$) of ${\beta}-amylase$ on the non glutinous rice strach was better than other cases.

This study was carried out to study the characteristics of 6 different Sikhaes and the activity of malt. The Sikhae, a kind of the traditional Korean beverages, is made from rice and malt. The result were summarized as follows. !. Though it takes longer when malt is manufactured at the 15$^{\circ}C$ than at the 25$^{\circ}C$, more excellent malt can be obtained at the 15$^{\circ}C$ because the activity of amylase is much higher. 2. The length of the whole malt is between 3 and 4 cm when the activity of amylase is highest. When sprout grows longer than this, the activity of anzyme falls low remarkably and the worth of malt is decreased. 3. Among the material grain to make Sikhae, the saccharifying of glutinous rice was best and the saccharifying of barleys was not so good. 4. The Sikhaes from rice and glutinous rice are not easily swollen, but the Sikhae from the barley is easily swollen and turbid. 5. The result by the sensory evaluation to determine the ranking is in the following order; Glutinous rice, Tongil glutinous rice, Nonglutinous rice, Tongil rice, Hulled barley, Naked barley.

Methods of adding barley malt as source of carbohydrates and enzymes in the production of kanjang in order to improve it's tastes and qualities were investigated. Soybean meju, soybean-malt meju and soybean meju cummalt was mashed with 20% salt brine in the ratio of 1:3 respectively, matured and analyzed the chemical compositions of the soy sauce mash samples for 150 days of maturing. Organoleptic evaluations for the matured soy sauce samples were done. The higher total nitrogen, TCA soluble nitrogen, O.D. at 500 nm, pure extract and lactic acid content could be observed with the soy sauce mash made of soybean-malt meju than those of contrast one from the beginning of the mashing throughout to the whole maturing period of 150 days. The higher the content of malt in the soybean-malt meju, the higher those content in the mash. But the lower content of those compositions in the soy sauce mash made of soybean meju cum malt than those in the contrast was found. The highest scores in all the sensory characteristics including 7.56 points, which were significantly different from that of contrast soy sauce at 5% level, in overall palatability were obtained by the soy sauce made of soybean-malt meju added with 30% malt in the organoleptic evaluations.

The possibility of developing new kinds of lactic acid beverage from a malt syrup was studied. The optimum sugar concentration of malt syrup for the cultivation of lactic acid bacteria was $10^{\circ}Bx$. The acidity of the fermented malt syrup was improved by the supplement of yeast extract(0.5%) or sodium citrate(0.08%). Though the activity of Lactobacillus lactis in malt syrup was superior to other strains, sensory test indicated that the mixed culture of Lactobacillus lactis and Streptococcus diacetilactis was better because of masking malt flavour. The changes in acidity and viable cells of malt syrup during the lactic fermentation were not so good as skim milk medium, but malt syrup medium containing milk(50 : 50) was nearly similar to skim milk medium. In the sensory scores among samples, no significant differences(P<0.05) were noted between fermented milk and fermented malt syrup containing milk, but fermented malt syrup showed a poor quality. However fermented malt syrup was not inferior to marketing lactic fermented fruit juices with regards to the lactic acid fermented beverage type.

This study was to determine the optimum conditions of malt extracting temperature, extracting time of malt in water, ratio of malt to water, and rice volume of malt extract water on saccharification in producing sikhe (sweet rice drink) using central composite design of response surface methodology. Glucose and maltose were analyzed by a biosensor having dual cathode system. The optimum temperatures of malt extracting for glucose and maltose were 60 and $55^{\circ}C$. The saccharification power for the two sugars was highest when malt powder soaked for 6.5 and 5.75 hour, respectively. And ratios of malt to water for optimum saccharification were 1 : 6.3 to 1 : 8.8, respectively. The optimum volumes of malt extracting to rice for the two sugars were 0.48% and 0.6%, respectively. The application of response surface methodology to sikhe processing showed a good correlation with high significance.
