The present study was designed to examine the effect of tested preparation, WY-91 (consisting of ginseng extract, ganoderma extract and Royal jelly) on alcohol-induced unusual metabolism(such as blood glucose(BG), triBlyceride(TG), and blood urea nitrogen(BUN) level in blood) and nrperinlental liver injury($CCl_4$ and high fat diet) in mice. WY-91 lowered the level of blood glucose (BG),triglyceride(TG) and blood urea nitrogen(BUN) induced by alcohol in a dose-dependent manner. This preparation could protect hepatic function from a damages caused by high fat diet and $CCl_4$ administration(p.o.).

An experimental study was conducted to study the behavior of slab-column connections under lateral load. Test variables include gravity shear ratio$(V_g/V_o=0.3,\;0.5)$ and flexural reinforcement ratio of slab(p=0.01, 0.015). Strength and ductility of tested specimens were evaluated in accordance with gravity shear ratios and slab reinforcement ratios. Shear stresses of Code's equation at the critical section were also compared with experimental results.

Trifoliate orange seed extracts (TSEs) were prepared from different solvents, water (TW), ethanol (TE), and n-hexane (TH), and assessed for their antimicrobial activities against six gram-negative food-borne pathogens (Escherichia coli KCTC 1039, Escherichia coli O157:H7 ATCC 43895, Salmonella Enteritidis ATCC 3311, Salmonella Typhimurium KCCM 11862, Shigella sonnei KCTC 2518, and Vibrio parahaemolyticus ATCC 17802). Among the tested TSEs, TE and TH showed a slight inhibition activity on V. parahaemolyticus ATCC 17802, but a good growth inhibition activity on Sal. Typhimurium KCCM 11862. TH and TE showed steady growth inhibition activity with increasing growth time after 6 hr when compared to the control (p<0.05). From these results, we confirmed the possibility of TH and TE as antimicrobial materials.

This study was performed to investigate the antimicrobial effects of Euphorbia humifusa ethanol-extract against food-borne pathogens. The growth inhibitory effects of the extract at a concentration of 250, 500, 1,000 or 2,000 mg/L on food poisoning microorganism were determined against Salmonella typhimurium, Listeria monocytogenes, Yersinia enterocolitica, Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Staphylococcus aureus. The microorganisms growth was not affected by the extract at the concentration up to 250 mg/L, but was significantly (p<0.05) inhibited by the extract at a concentration higher than 1,000 mg/L. The extract of Euphorbia humifusa had strong antimicrobial activity against all test strains at a concentration of 2,000 mg/L. The results in the present study demonstrate antimicrobial effects of Euphorbia humifusa ethanol-extract against food-borne pathogens, suggesting that Euphorbia humifusa could be an effective natural antibacterial agent in food.

수소 분리막은 수소 분리층과 지지체로 구분되며, 수소 분리막의 수소 투과 및 선택도는 지지체의 표면조도, 평탄도 및 거대기공 크기에 크게 의존한다. 본 연구에서는 표면연마 및 $ZrO_2$ 파우더 매립을 사용한 표면처리 공정을 통해 다 공성 스테인레스 강 지지체의 표면조도 및 평탄도와 거대기공을 제어함으로써 균일하고 치밀한 분리층을 형성 할 수 있었으며, 상용화 공정($350^{\circ}C{\sim}500^{\circ}C$, 1bar(${\Delta}P$))에서 무한대의 수소 선택도와 $17.5ml/min{\cdot}cm^2{\cdot}atm$의 수소 투과도를 얻을 수 있었다.

Total organic carbon(TOC) can be determined by means of combustion and flame ionization detector. The principle of string method is that a sample acidified to pH2 and transferred into combustion tube by string is oxidized with air. Another combustion tube method is that organic compounds are oxidized in the combustion tube charged with CuO and cobalt asbestos after the acidified sample is injected directly by microsyringe. Carbon dioxide evolved was reduced under specially treated nickel catalyst and hydrogen, the methane produced was detected by flame ionization detector. Linear relationship was found between concentration and the peak height by the string method. The peak area in the case of combustion tube method is in the range of 1-200ppm. The coefficient of variation by string method was 2.3% and that by combustion tube method was 1.8%. The lower detectable limit was about 10mol. Advantages of the latter are simplicity, sensitivity and reproducibility. TOC in contineous stream can also be determined automatically by means of the string method.

A recovery process of pure alumina powder from the wasted aluminum etching solution of electrolytic condenser works was studied. The possibility of this process was considered in the basis of thermodynamic data nad physico-chemical properties for the recovered materials were tested. In order to obtain pure alumina, Fe3+ and Cu2+ in the solution as impurities were solvent-extracted, respectively, and then, Al3+ was precipitated by changing the pH of the solution. As the results, more than 99.9% of Al3+ in the solution was recovered by the precipitation method. The weight of the precipitate was reduced to about 65 wt.% of the original one by calcination and the sizes of the recovered powders were in order of 3-5$\mu\textrm{m}$. The precipitates were transformed to $\alpha$-Al2O3 at the calcination temperature about 120$0^{\circ}C$.

HP0892 (SwissProt/TrEMBL ID O25552) is a 90-residue conserved hypothetical protein from Helicobacter pylori strain 26695, with a calculated pI of 9.38 and a molecular mass of 10.41 kDa. It belongs to the Plasmid stabilization system protein family (PF05016) in the Pfam database. Proteins with sequence similarity to HP0892 exist in Vibrio choierae, Enterococcus faecalis, Campylobacter jejuni, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, Escherichia coli O157. Here we report the sequence-specific backbone resonance assignments of HP0892 using multidimentional heteronuclear NMR spectroscopy. About 97.0% (422/435) of the HN, N, CO, $C{\beta}$, $C{\alpha}$ resonances of 90 residues of HP0892 were assigned. On the basis of the resonance assignments, three helical regions and four strand regions were identified using the CSI program. This study is a prerequisite for calculating the solution structure of HP0892, and will be useful for studying its interaction with other molecules.

Background : Prone position improves oxygenation in some patients with ARDS. According to some authors, prone position can also improve the deteriorated hemodynamics induced by PEEP. But these respiratory and hemodynamic effects of prone position has not yet been fully established. Methods : Twentythree consequtive patients with ARDS(M : F= 11 : 12, $62.1{\pm}20.8yrs$) were the subjects for this study. ABGA, static compliance of the respiratory system, mean arterial pressure and pulse rate were obtained in supine position and at 5min, 0.5h and 2h of prone position. Positive respiratory response was defined as 20mmHg or more increase in $PaO_2/FIO_2$ within 2h of prone position. Early of late respiratory responses were defined if the positive response was observed within of after 3 day of ARDS onset, respectively. Positive hemodynamic response was defined as 10mmHg or more increase in mean arterial pressure at 5min of prone position. Results : Fifteen patients (65%) showed positive respiratory response. In the respiratory responders, $PaO_2$ was $69.8{\pm}17.6mmHg$ in supine position, $83.2{\pm}22.6mmHg$ in prone position 0.5h, $96.8{\pm}22.7mmHg$ in prone position 2h(p<0.001), and $PaO_2/FIO_2$ was $108{\pm}41mmHg$, $137{\pm}57mmHg$, $158{\pm}50mmHg$, respectively(p=0.001). Age, sex, cause of ARDS, supine $PaO_2$ and $PaO_2/FIO_2$ were not different between the respiratory responders and the nonresponders. The respiratory responders, however, showed higher mean arterial pressure than the nonresponders($91.1{\pm}13.1mmHg$ vs. $76.0{\pm}18.7mmHg$, p=0.035), and tendency of higher survival rate(9/15 vs. 2/8, p=0.074). Static compliance of the respiratory system was decreased in prone position 0.5h($28.4{\pm}7.9ml/cm$ $H_2O$ vs. $23.8{\pm}7.6ml/cm$ $H_2O$, p=0.007). The overall rate of early response(n=23) and late response(n=11) were similar(14/23 vs. 7/11, p>0.05). But patient without early response showed late response only in 25%(1/4), while patient with early response showed late response in 85.7%(6/7)(p=0.072). Five patients(22%) showed positive hemodynamic response, two of them being respiratory nonresponders. There were no differences in the baseline mean arterial pressure or the level of PEEP applied in supine between the hemodynamic responders and the hemodynamic nonresponders. Conclusions : Prone position either improved oxygenation or increased arterial pressure in significant proportion of patients with ARDS. And the respiratory response to prone position was thought to be determined in the early stage of ARDS.
