Supercritical Fluid Chromatography(SFC) has been developed as an analytical technique for the compounds that is difficult to analyze by conventional chromatography. Since supercritical fluid $CO_2$ is difficult to elute solutes with high polarity, modified supercritical $CO_2$, was used as a mobile phase. In conventional method, silica column which is saturated with modifier was used. However, with this method, we can not control the quantity of modifier. In this paper, we developed a new method which can control quantity of modifier mixed in supercritical fluid $CO_2$. The quantity of $H_2O$ mixed was measured with amperometric microsensor which was made by perflurosulfonate ionomer(PFSI) film. we have also obtained a good supercritical fluid chromatogram of PAH mixture by use of a modifier composition programming method.

Studies into the cell death program termed apoptosis have resulted in new information regarding how cells control and execute their own demise, including insights into the mechanism by which death-preventing factors can inhibit Bax-induced caspase activation. We investigated high temperature stress-induced cell death in Brassica rapa. Using a yeast functional screening from a Brassica rapa cDNA library, the BH5-127 EST clone encoding an apoptotic suppressor peptide was identified. However, a phylogenic tree showed that BH5-127 clusters within a clade containing SUMO-1 (Small Ubiquitin-like Modifier-1). BH5-127 was confirmed similar to have function to SUMO-1 as Fas suppression. Expression of BH5-127 showed that substantial suppression of cell death survived on SD-galactose-$Leu^-$-$Ura^-$ medium. The results suggest that BrSE ($\underline{B}$rassica rapa $\underline{S}$entrin $\underline{E}$ST, BH5-127) is one of the important regulatory proteins in programming cell death, especially in the seedling stage of Chinese cabbage.
