In previous studies we reported that the levels of RBC, hemoglobulin and hematocrit in SAM Rl and SAM P6 were increased significantly from 7 day after oral administration of the pilose antler extract, 5g/kg/day, and were lasted during the study. Therefore, this study was performed to elucidate mechanism of erythropoietic action by the extract administration. SAM Rl and SAM P6 were chosen as experimental animals. At age of 12 weeks, pilose antler extract were given 0.3 and 5 g/kg/day (p.o.) each for 0, 7 and 14 days in both animals. Complete blood cells (CBC) such as WBC, lymphocytes, monocytes, granulocytes, RBC, hemoglobulin, and hematocrit were counted. And plasma concentration of erythropoietin (EPO) which is the major regulator of erythropoiesis was measured using $\^$125/I-antierythropoietin IgG. Ferritin concentration in plasma was also analyzed.

This study was undertaken to investigate the differentiation, from spore germination to hyphae growth and phialide formation, of Aspergillus niger through the method of synchronous and submerged culture. Through continuous experiments by shake culture with potassium acetate medium, we observed the formation of spores at appropriate concentration and pH. Potassium acetate medium was set pH 5.5, 6.0, 6.5 and 7.0 on each scale, and control, 20 mM, and 40 mM, 80 mM and 160 mM concentrations on the other scale. Aspergillus niger was cultured in the defined media at $28^{\circ}C$, and mycelial dry weight, changes of pH and the onset of sporulation were checked. The mycelial dry weight, increased in potassium acetate medium, and pH increased during mycelial growth and gradually decreased after the spore formation. When pH increased excessively in Potassium acetate medium with pH 7.0, the mycelia could not adapt and mycelial dry weight decreased gradually. At pH 5.5, the onset of sporulation was done within one day at 20 mM it took, at 80 mM three days and at 160 mM concentration. in two days, at 40 mM one to four days were taken, 80 mM concentration respectively. At pH 6.5, the onset of sporulation was done in three days and four days at 80 mM concentrations respectively. Spore formation was not shown at pH 7.0. In controlled medium with all levels of pH, spore formation was not shown.

Rates and equilibriurn of complex formation between $Ni^{2+}$ and D-penicillamine have been investigated in aqueous solutions. Kinetic study on the complex formation were performed in the pH range of 8∼9 by the use of pressure-jump technique. D-Penicillamine coordinates to the nickel(II) ion utilizing sulfur and nitrogen as donor atoms in the high pH condition (pH 9.2). However, in the pH range of 8.25∼9.07, the stepwise stability constant becomes drastically reduced and the undissociated mercapto group does not participate in bonding. The rate-determining step of the complexation reaction is found to be the release of a water molecule from the inner-coordination sphere of $Ni^{2+}$ ion.

Characterizing nicotine delivery from tobacco products is important in the understanding of their addictive potential. Most previous studies report total nicotine and have not differentiated between nicotine in its protonated or free-base form. The amount of free nicotine calculated by determining pH and nicotine contents. The pH and nicotine contents in smokeless tobacco product, tobacco products and tobacco leaves were analyzed by Health Canada-Official Method T-310 and CORESTA Recommended Method $N^{\circ}62$. The content of free nicotine was calculated according to the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation and the value of $\alpha_{fb}$(the fraction of nicotine that is in the free base form) by using a pKa value of 8.02 for nicotine. The percentage of free nicotine then was calculated by dividing the free nicotine content by total nicotine content. The pH value and percentage of free nicotine ranged from 5.01 to 5.45 and $0.10\%\;to\;0.27\%$ in cut tobacco and 5.10 to 7.10 and $0.12\%\;to\;10.73\%$ in tobacco leaves, respectively.

The information related to the heavy metal pollution in the environment was obtained from studies on the effects of pH, phosphate and soil properties on the adsorption of metal ions (Cd, Cu, Ni, and Zn) by soils. Three soil materials; soil 1 with low CEC (8.2 me/100g) and low organic carbon content (0.34%); soil 2 with high CEC (36.4 me/100g) and low organic carbon content (1.8%) and soil 3 with high CEC (49.9 me/100g) and high organic carbon content (14.7%) were used. Soils were adjusted to several pH's and equilibrated with metal ion mixtures of 4 different concentrations, each having equal equivalents of each metal ion (0.63, 1.88, 3.12 and 4.38 micromoles per one gram soil with and without 10 micromoles of phosphate per one gram soil). Reported here are the results of the equilibrium study on soil I. The rest of the results on soil 2 and soil 3 will be repoted subsequeutly. Generally higher metal ion concentration solution resulted in higher final metal ion concentrations in the equilibrated solution and phosphate had minimal effect except it tended to enhance removal of cadmium and zinc from equilibrated solutions while it tended to decrease the removal of copper and nickel. In soil 1, percentages of added metal ions removed at pH 5.10 were; Cu 97, Ni 69, Cd 63, and Zn 55, while increasing pH to 6.40, they were increased to Cu 90.9, Zn 99, Ni 96, and Cd 92 per As initial metal ion concentration increased, final metal ion concentrations in the equilibrated solution showed a relationship with pH of the system as they fit to the equation $p[M^{++}]=a$ pH+b where $p[M^{++}]=-log$[metal ion concentration in Mol/liter]. The magnitude of pH and soil effects were reflected in slope (a) of the equation, and were different among metal ions and soils. Slopes (a) for metal ions in the aqueous system are all 2. In soil 1 they were; Zn 1.23, Cu 0.99, Ni 0.69 and Cd 0.59 at highest concentration. The adsorption of Cd, Ni, and Zn in soil 1 could be represented by the Iangmuir isotherm. However, construction of the Iangmuir isotherm required the correction for pH differences.

A series of thermal destruction studies of the most heat resistant yeast strain No. 15 among 61 isolates were conducted in order to establish the optimum pasteurization condition of peach solid pack. The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1. A survival curve of the selected yeast strain No. 15 at $58^{\circ}C$ consisted of heat labile and heat stable fraction, showing broken curve. 2. The actively growing cell showed less recovery rate than 10 day rested cell after agitation-growing for 90 hr. For heating menstrua, peptone solution gave higher recovery rate than peach juice. For recovery medium, YM agar gave higher recovery rate than peach juice agar. The selected yeast was more resistant to heat at pH 4.0 than at pH 3.5 in both heating menstrua and recovery medium. 3. Z value of TDT curve of the selected yeast (heating : at pH 3.5 in peach juice. recovery: at pH 3.5 in peach juice agar) was $4.8^{\circ}C$. 4. The selected yeast No. 15 was identified as Torulopsis candida. 5. In the inoculated pack test of 4 oz can, it was concluded that the optimum P.U. 70/5 was 168 (center temp; $78.5^{\circ}C$, initial temp; $18^{\circ}C$, processing time; 18 min, initial yeast count; $1.0{\times}10^7$ per can).

In the present study, lactic acid bacterium that has antibacterial activity against Helicobacter pylori was isolated from feces of newborn baby. The selection was based on the ability to inhibit the growth of H. pylori and to withstand harsh environmental conditions such as acidic pH and high bile concentration. By biochemical test and 16S rDNA sequencing, selected strain was turned out to be an Pediococcus acidilactici, therefore designated to P. acidilactici GMB7330. In order to investigate the inhibitory effects of P. acidilactici GMB7330 on the growth of H. pylori, we have tested in vitro studies such as cell viability and urease test. These results showed that antibacterial activity of P. acidilactici GMB7330 significantly decreased the viable cell count and urease activity of H. pylori. Antibacterial activity of P. acidilactici GMB7330 against H. pylori remained after pH adjustment to neutral, and the concentration of lactate produced from P. acidilactici GMB7330 was not enough to inhibit H. pylori. On the basis of the analysis by transmission electron microscope, it demonstrated that addition of P. acidilactici GMB7330 destroyed the cell structure of H. pylori. These results strongly suggested that P. acidilactici GMB7330 produce antibacterial substances to be able to inhibit the growth of H. pylori other than lactic acid.
