Effects of diallyl sulfide (DAS), a component of garlic, on thioacetamide-induced hepatotoxicity were investigated in male ICR mice. When mice treated subcutaneously with 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg of DAS in corn oil for three consecutive days, the activity of cytochrome P450 (P450) 2E1-selective p-nitrophenol hydroxylase was dose-dependently suppressed. In addition, the activities of P450 2B-selective benzyloxyresorufin O-debenzylase and pentoxyresorufin O-depentylase were dose-dependently induced by the treatment with DAS. (omitted)

An analytical method was developed for the determination of phenol (P) and the seven substituted phenols in water samples and fish tissue samples collected from three streams located in eastern Gangwon State in spring and summer. The phenols were extracted and then derivatized to phenyl acetates using acetic anhydride. The derivatives were subsequently identified and quantified using gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. P and 4-nitrophenol (4NP) were found at relatively high levels in water, ranging from below the method detection limit (MDL) to 3.32 ㎍/L and from < MDL to 4.91 ㎍/L, respectively. P and 4NP were also the dominant compounds in the fish tissue, ranging from < MDL to 407 ㎍/kg and from < MDL to 870 ㎍/kg, respectively. Phenol concentrations were significantly higher in spring than in summer. The ecological risk quotient calculated for P was higher than 4NP but not high enough to pose any risk of adverse effects to fish health.

Three parathion-degrading bacteria and eight pairs of bacteria showing syntrophic metabolism of parathion were isolated from rice field soils, and their genetic and phenotypic characteristics were investigated. The three isolates and eight syntrophic pairs were able to utilize parathion as a sole source of carbon and energy, producing p-nitrophenol as the intermediate metabolite during the complete degradation of parathion. Analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that the isolates were related to members of the genera Burkholderia, Arthrobacter, Pseudomonas, Variovorax, and Ensifer. The chromosomal DNA patterns of the isolates obtained by polymerasechain-reaction (PCR) amplification of repetitive extragenic palindromic (REP) sequences were distinct from one another. Ten of the isolates had plasmids. All of the isolates and syntrophic pairs were able to degrade parathion-related compounds such as EPN, p-nitrophenol, fenitrothion, and methyl parathion. When analyzed with PCR amplification and dot-blotting hybridization using various primers targeted for the organophosphorus pesticide hydrolase genes of previously reported isolates, most of the isolates did not show positive signals, suggesting that their parathion hydrolase genes had no significant sequence homology with those of the previously reported organosphophate pesticide-degrading isolates.

Twenty-seven fenitrothion-degrading bacteria were isolated from different soils, and their genetic and phenotypic characteristics were investigated. Analysis of the 16S rDNA sequence showed that the isolates were related to members of the genera Burkholderia, Pseudomonas, Sphingomonas, Cupriavidus, Corynebacterium, and Arthrobacter. Among the 27 isolates, 12 different chromosomal DNA fingerprinting patterns were obtained by polymerase chain reaction(PCR) amplification of repetitive extra genic palindromic(REP) sequences. The isolates were able to utilize fenitrothion as a sole source of carbon and energy, producing 3-methyl-4-nitrophenol as the intermediate metabolite during the complete degradation of fenitrothion. Twenty-two of 27 isolates were able to degrade parathion, methyl-parathion, and p-nitrophenol but only strain BS2 could degrade EPN(O-ethyl-O-p-nitrophenyl phenylphosphorothioate) as a sole source of carbon and energy for growth. Eighteen of the 27 isolates had plasmids. When analyzed with PCR amplification and dot-blotting hybridization using various specific primers targeted to the organophosphorus pesticide hydrolase genes of the previously reported isolates, none of the isolates showed positive signals, suggesting that the corresponding genes of our isolates had no significant sequence homology with those of the previously isolated organophosphate pesticide-degrading bacteria.

The effect of dietary capsaicin (8-methyl-N-vanillyl-6-nonenamide, CAP) on drug-metabolizing enzyme activities was investigated in mice. Male ICR mice were divided into 4 groups and fed diets containing 0, 5, 20, 100 ppm CAP for 4 seeks. Hepatic drug-metabolizing enzyme activities and serum alanine aminotransferase and aspartate transaminease activities were measured. There was no difference in hepatic alanine aminotransferse and aspartate transaminase activities among the groups. Hepatic microsomal cytochrome P450 in CAP fed groups, but p-nitrophenol hydroxylase and the cytosolic acitivity of glutathione S-transferase activities were decreased in the dietary CAP supplemetned groups compared to the control. These results suggest that the dietary CAP at a low dose differentially modulates drug-metabolizing enzyme acitvities without causing hepatic toxicity.

Diazotized chitin (CHITN) was synthesized reacting with NaN3 and HCl to alkaline hydrolyzed chitin for the support of immobilized enzyme. Immobilized $\beta$-glucosidase on diazotized chitin(CHITN-Gase) was produced reacting with glutaraldehyds as bifunctional reagent. CHITN-Gase activities were determined reacting with p-nitrophenol-$\beta$-D-glucopyranoside in plug flow reactor as a reference. Optimum temperature, optimum pH, reaction constant and deactivation rate were determined with variation of flow rate and H/D. The particle size of immobilized enzyme in the best was, 35 mesh (CHITN35-Gase). The optimum conditions of immobilized enzyme were $70^{\circ}C$ in temperature and 5.0 in pH. Diameter and flow rate of plug flow reactor in the best was 8.5mm in diameter and 0.8ml/min in flow rate. Reaction constant was mainly influenced by electrostatic force. The best glucose hydrolizing activities of CHITN3 5-Gase was 3.34$\times$10-5 M/1. while that of native-$\beta$-glucosidase was 2.44$\times$10-5 M/1.

The role of cytochrome P-450 2E1 (P450 2E1) in the early phase of alcoholic fatty liver was examined. Female rats were pretreated with either allyl sulfide (200 mg/kg, po), disulfiram (500 mg/kg, po), YH 439 (250 mg/kg, po) or pyrazine (200 mg/kg/day$\times$2 days, ip). Marked changes in carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatotoxicity and caboxyhemoglobin (COHb) elevation due to dichloromethane administration were observed in rats treated with one of the P450 2E1 modulators. A single dose of ethanol (6 g/kg, po) increased the hepatic triglyceride contents approximately 2 fold, which was inhibited completely by YH 439 pretreatment. However, the other P450 2E1 modulators failed to alter the ethanol-induced hepatic triglyceride accumulation. In vitro hepatic microsomal enzyme activity was determined in 4 week old premature and 12 week old adult rats. Aminopyrine-N demethylation was not different, but p-nitrophenol hydroxylation and p-nitroanisole O-demethylation were significantly higher in premature rats. However, no difference in the triglyceride accumulation induced by an intraperitoneal dose of ethanol (3 g/kg) was noted between premature and adult rats. The results suggest that the P450 2E1 activity dose not play an important role in the induction of acute alcoholic fatty liver.

본 연구는 페놀 분해균주인 P-99를 이용하여 슬러리상 반응기에서 페놀 또는 PNP (p-Nitrophenol)에 오염된 토양을 생물학적으로 복원시키는 방안을 모색하기 위해 수행되었다. 순수미생물에 의한 페놀의 분해는 혼합 미생물간의 경쟁적 상호작용을 배제시켜 활성슬러지의 지체시간보다 3배 정도 짧게 나타났다. 페놀 분해균주인 P-99는 300mg/L의 페놀을 26시간 안에 완전하게 분해하였으며, 페놀 1mg이 제거될 때 0.1457mg의 P-99 미생물이 생성되었다. PNP는 단일기질로 반응기내에 존재할 경우 페놀 분해균주인 P-99에 의한 분해는 일어나지 않았으나, 페놀에 유도된 경우 공대사 작용에 의해 효과적으로 분해할 수 있었으며, 이 때 PNP 분해에 있어서 성자기질인 페놀의 이용도는 0.027mg PNP/mg phenol이었다. 페놀과 PNP가 혼합기질로 반응기내에 존재할 경우 PNP의 농도가 증가할수록 미생물에 대한 저해작용이 증가되어 페놀의 분해속도가 감소하였으며, 슬러리상 반응기에서 미생물에 의한 페놀 및 PNP의 분해는 대상물질의 일부가 액상에서 토양의 표면으로 흡착되고 산소의 전달속도가 상승하여 액상에서 보다 2배 이상 가속화되었다.
