In an attempt to develop an injectable form of practically insoluble biphenyl dimethyl dicarboxylate (DDB), the effect of various vehicles, cosolvents and hydrotropic agents was investigated. It was found that polyethylene glycol (PEG) 400 revealed the best solvency toward DDB (17.7 mg/ml at $37^{\circ}C$), and decreasing order of the solubility was as follows: PEG 400>PEG 300>diethylene glycol monoethyl ether (DGME)>PEG-8 glyceryl caprylate/caprate. Among the hydrotropes used, sodium salicylate, sodium benzoate and nicotinamide were effective in increasing the solubility in water. The solubility of DDB in 2 M sodium salicylate, sodium benzoate and nicotinamide solutions was increased 44.3, 23.5 and 44.0 times than that in water, respectively. The addition of sodium salicylate and sodium benzoate to PEG 300-water PEG 400-water and DGME-water cosolvents remarkably increased the solubility of DDB, and significantly retarded precipitate formation when mixed with water Hemolytic properties of DDB injections (2 mg/4~10 ml) in PEG 300-water or DGME-water (60:40 v/v) cosolvents containing sodium benzoate (0.14~0.35 M) were very low. It was concluded from the results that these solutions would be applied to the design of new DDB injections.

A sensitive and efficient assay method was applied to determine the level of glutamic acid (GA) and ${\gamma}-aminobutyric$ acid (GABA) in frontal cortex and hippocampus of rat administrated with ethanol and drugs. The compounds were derivatized with ο-phthalaldehyde (OPA) and 2-mercaptoethanof for precolunm analysis. The condition for the simultaneous determination of GA, GABA and $\beta-aminobutyric$ acid (BABA) by high performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection was reverse phase $C_{18}$ column as stationary phase, 0.1 M phosphate buffer containing 0.1 mM $Na_4EDTA$ : methanol = 55:45 (v+v) pH 3.8 as mobile phase and 0.7V electrode voltage. The stability of reaction product of GA, GABA and BABA with OPA could be increased by adding the same volume of polyethylene glycol 400 to reaction mixture. The GABA level in frotal cortex of rat was significantly decreased by the administration of picrotoxin and diazepam, but it was significantly increased by the administration of red ginseng total saponin, N-methyl-D-glucamine and (-)-deprenyl.

The experiments have been performed to obtain zinc complex compound with smaller particle sizes, which is used as a charge control agent in manufacturing toner. Metallic salts and polyhydric alcohols have been studied to investigate their effects on the formation and the triboelectric charge of zinc complex-compound particle with different sizes. Reactants such as zinc chloride and 3,5-di-tert.-butyl salicylic acid have been used to form the complex compound. Polyethylene glycol (PEG-300), glycerin and ethylene glycol have been added into the zinc chloride solution beforehand to lower the reaction rate in the formation of zinc complex-compound. Aluminium(III) chloride has been mixed in the zinc chloride solution beforehand to restrain the particle size from growing. When PEG-300 and aluminium(III) chloride are used to lower the reaction rate and to restrain the particle size from growing, the average particle size of zinc complex compound decreases from $5.28{\mu}m$ to $2.33{\mu}m$, which was 44.1% of $5.28{\mu}m$.

The power capacitors used as vehicle inverters must have a small size, high capacitance, high voltage, fast response and wide operating temperature. Our thin film capacitor was fabricated by alumina layers as a dielectric material and a metal electrode instead of a liquid electrolyte in an aluminum electrolytic capacitor. We analyzed the micro structures and the electrical properties of the thin film capacitors fabricated by nano-channel alumina and metal electrodes. The metal electrode was filled into the alumina nano-channel by electroless nickel plating with polyethylene glycol and a palladium catalyst. The spherical metals were formed inside the alumina nano pores. The breakdown voltage and leakage current increased by the chemical reaction of the alumina layer and $PdCl_2$ solution. The thickness of the electroless plated nickel layer was 300 nm. We observed the nano pores in the interface between the alumina layer and the metal electrode. The alumina capacitors with nickel electrodes had a capacitance density of 100 $nF/cm^2$, dielectric loss of 0.01, breakdown voltage of 0.7MV/cm and leakage current of $10^4{\mu}A$.

$LiMnPO_4$ particle were prepare by a hydrothermal reaction. The particles prepared by adding polyethylene glycol(PEG) and carbon to the starting reaction solution were fine crystalline in the range of 200-300nm. The discharge capacity of the sample as a lithium secondary battery was $25mAhg^{-1}$ at $0.04mAcm^{-2}$, larger than that of the sample prepared by the hydrothermal method without PEG and carbon.

Objectives: This study investigated the removal efficacy and cytotoxicity of a newly developed calcium hydroxide paste (cleaniCal, Maruchi) using N-2-methyl-pyrrolidone (NMP) as a vehicle in comparison with ApexCal (Ivoclar Vivadent) and Calcipex II (Nishika), which use different vehicles such as polyethylene glycol and propylene glycol, respectively. Materials and Methods: Thirty maxillary premolars with oval-shaped canals were divided into 3 groups and the teeth were filled with one of the pastes. After removal of the paste, micro-computed tomographic (${\mu}$-CT) imaging was obtained to assess the volume of residual paste in the root canal of each tooth. The teeth were then split longitudinally and the area of the paste-coated surface was evaluated by stereomicroscopy. The cytotoxicity of each product was assessed using an agar overlay assay. The effect of each vehicle on cell viability was evaluated using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. The data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and Tukey's tests to detect any significance (p < 0.05). Results: In the ${\mu}$-CT and stereomicroscopic analysis, cleaniCal exhibited less remnants of medicament than ApexCal and Calcipex. cleaniCal showed a higher cytotoxicity than the other pastes in the agar overlay assay. Furthermore, NMP exhibited lower cell viability compared to the other vehicles. Conclusions: cleaniCal showed better removal efficacy compared to the other products. However, clinicians should be aware of the higher cytotoxicity of the NMP-based material and consider its possible adverse effects on periradicular tissue when it is overfilled.

The effect of three antifoam agents: PPG(polypropylene glycol), PEG(polyethylene glycol) and CA-110(aquous emulsion with 16% silicon oil component), was examined on the lincomycin production during cultivation of S. lincolnensis. Both PEG and PPG were effective in foam depressing during the flask cultures. As a result, the lincomycin production was enhanced upto about 400 mg/L in a optimized medium (OP-1) containing PEG or PPG. In contrast, the effect of antifoam agents in flasks was not remarkable for the various initial concentrations ranging from 0.5 g/L to 5 g/L with the basic medium(UP-1). But the lincomycin production in small fermentor showed the great different results in comparison with that in flasks under the same conditions. The lincomycin productions in small fermentor were 325 mg/L and 130 mg/L respectively for the following initial PPG concentrations, 0.5 g/L and 1 g/L.

Purified Helicobacter pylori urease displayed a sigmoid curve in the plot of velocity versus [S] at urea concentrations less than 0.1mM. Under conditions where preservatives, glycerol, or polyethylene glycol (PEG) were added to the enzyme reaction, the substrate hydrolysis was consistent with Michaelis-Menten kinetics, with a $K_m$ of $0.21\;{\pm}\;0.06\;mM$ and a $V_{max}$ of $1,200\;{\pm}\;300\;{\mu}mol\;min^{-1}\;mg^{-1}$. However, at saturating substrate concentrations, the kinetic parameters of H. pylori urease were unaffected by the presence of the preservatives, and enzyme catalysis conformed to Michaelis-Menten kinetics. The Hill coefficients of the enzyme-catalyzed urea hydrolysis in the presence and absence of PEG were 1 and 2, respectively. Based on these findings, we suggest that H. pylori urease may exist in aggregated and dissociated forms, each with intact function but differing kinetics that may be of importance in maximizing urea breakdown at varying urea concentrations in vivo.

In an attempt to develop a non-aqueous liquid formulation of practically insoluble biphenyl dimethyl dicarboxylate (DDB), dissolution and permeation studies were performed. Various non-aqueous DDB solutions were formulated and filled into empty hard capsules. Dissolution rates of a new formulation were compared with those of commercially available DDB preparations using one and eight dose units. Dissolution rates after 2 hr of DDB tablets (DDB 25 mg), hard capsules (DDB 7.5 mg) and soft capsules (DDB 7.5 mg) on market and new formulation (DDB 7.5 mg) were 6.3, 15.0, 84.5 and 98.0%, respectively. Higher doses (8 units) resulted in a supersaturation within one hr of dissolution, and dissolved amounts were reduced markedly. Due to the saturation and precipitation, a directly proportional dose-dissolution relationship was not observed. The addition of copolyvidone and/or glycyrrhizic acid ammonium salt to DDB solution in polyethylene glycol 300 and 400 inhibited the formation of precipitates during dissolution and markedly enhanced the rabbit duodenal permeation of DDB. From the site-specific gastrointestinal permeation studies, it was found that permeation rates of DDB after mixing of non-aqueous DDB solutions with aqueous buffered solutions were faster in the order of $rectal\;<\;colonic\;{\risingdotseq}\;ileal\;{\risingdotseq}\;duodenal\;<\;jejunal\;<\;gastric$.
