Chelating agents to sand lance fish sauce for the prevention of precipitate formation were applied. The precipitates consisted of crude protein (74.4%), ash (18.7%), and other components (6.9%). Sand lance sauce was mainly composed of glutamic acid (3.69 mg/g), alanine (2.96 mg/g), and lysine (2.64 mg/g). However, there was an increase in the amount of hydrophobic amino acids, phenylalanine, isoleucine, and leucine, in the precipitates. Sodium ions were not detected in the precipitate; rather, the main elements were Mg ($1.98{\times}10^4\;{\mu}g/g)$, K ($1.36{\times}10^4\;{\mu}g/g)$, and Ca ($6.66{\times}10^2\;{\mu}g/g)$. In HPLC analysis, fish sauce was composed of 2 main peaks with molecular weights of 85.5 and 528.4 Da, respectively. However, the precipitate contained one peak with a molecular weight of 1,513.5 Da. The addition of 0.2% malic acid and citric acid caused 55 and 70% prevention of the precipitate, respectively. Citric acid was the most effective chelating agent and efficiently prevented precipitation in the fish sauce.

Metallic impurities, such as Fe, Cu, and Au, become generation and recombination centers for minority carriers when combined with oxide precipitates or silicon self-interstitial clusters. As these centers may cause leakage and discharge in silicon devices, their prevention through gettering of the metallic impurities is an important issue. In this article, key aspects of intrinsic gettering, such as oxygen control, wafer cleaning, device area denudation, and bulk oxygen precipitation are discussed, and a practical method of implementing intrinsic gettering is outlined.

Background: Acute leukaemia is characterized by fast growth of abnormal clones of haemopoietic precursor cells inside bone marrow leading to undue accumulation in the bone marrow. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common form of childhood cancer. Materials and Methods: The study concerned 50 children diagnosed with ALL (mean age, $8.55{\pm}2.54$) compared to 40 healthy controls (mean age, $8.00{\pm}1.85$). The Hb, serum copper, ceruloplasmin oxidase, advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs), total antioxidant activity (TAA) and protein were measured in all groups.One proteinous component was isolated by gel filtration chromatography from the precipitate produced by polyethylene glycol. Results: Significantly higher levels of AOPP, copper and decrease in total antioxidant activity were noted in the cases. Statistical analysis also showed a significant increase (p<0.01) in the activity of serum ceruloplasmin oxidase in patients with ALL compared to normal subjects .The maximum velocity (Vmax) and Michaelis constant had values of 104.2 U/L and 11.7 mM, respectively. The ${\Delta}H^*$ values for ceruloplasmin oxidase in ALL patients were positive, confirming the reaction to be endothermic. Conclusions: The results from this study showed a significant increase in AOPP, ceruloplasmine oxidase and decrease in total antioxidant activity .These parameters may play a role in development of DNA damage in childhood patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).The ${\Delta}S^*$ and ${\Delta}G^*$ values were negative, these refer that the reaction of ES formation is spontaneous, but needs energy in a so-called endergonic reaction. Also the negative ${\Delta}S^*$ value of ceruloplasmin oxidase indicates that the complex [$ES^*$] is further modulated through increasing structure arrangement.

To solubilize practically insoluble biphenyl dimethyl dicarboxylate (DDB), which has been used for the treatment of chronic hepatitis as tablets or hard capsules, the solubilities of DDB in various hydrophilic, oily and hydrocarbon vehicles, and aqueous surfactant solutions were measured by high performance liquid chromatography. It was found that, among the vehicles studied, polyethylene glycol (PEG) 300 revealed the best solvency, and the solubility reached 17.6 mg/ml at 37$^{\circ}C$. The addition of glycyrrhizic acid ammonium salt (GAA) to DDB-PEG 300 solution (5-20 mg/g) inhibited the formation of precipitates, and at the concentration of 10 mg/g, any precipitaction was not observed even after 2 years at 4$^{\circ}C$. Furthermore, GAA markedly enhanced the permeation of DDB through the rabbit duodenal mucosa in a concentration dependent manner. The addition of copolyvidone (ca. 1.0%) to DDB-GAA-PEG 300 system (1 : 0.5 97.5 w/w) was most effective in preventing the considerable precipitation of DDB-PEG 300 solution (7.5 mg/750 mg) when mixed with water of 300-900 ml at 37$^{\circ}C$. GAA showed a synergistic effect in the prevention of precipitate formation. This finding suggests that this DDB formulation may form less precipitation when DDB soft capsules disintegrate and diffuse into the gastrointestinal fluid, resulting in improving the bioavailability Dissolution rate of DDB (7.5 mg) from sort elastic capsules of DDB-GAA-PEG 300 system was rapid. The supersaturation state was maintained for 2 hr at the concentration of 7.35$\pm$3.3 mg in 900 ml of water without precipitation. The total amount of DDB dissolved from this new formulation was 5.3 and 6.1 times higher, when compared to marketed DDB tablets (25 mg) and capsules (7.5 mg), respectively.

The physical method used to prevent a landslide has the risk of environmental pollution. Calcite forming bacteria (CFB) have been received increasing attention as a novel and environmental friendly strategy for the soil improvement. In this study, we selected 11 CFB strains with high calcite production. We also examined survivability and calcite productivity of the strains under various stress conditions to select strains with high resistance to various stresses. Two strains was selected by environment stress. Sphingobacterium sp. KJ-32 and Viridibacillus arenosi B-25 precipitate calcite more than other strains at pH 5 and $15^{\circ}C$ respectively. Bio-consolidated soil cakes were made using various calcium salts (calcium chloride, calcium acetate, calcium lactate, calcium gluconate) with mixed culture of 2 strains. Among them, the calcite made using calcium chloride was the largest. These observations demonstrate that this bio-consolidation technology has the potential for eco-friendly prevention of landslide and soil improvement.

Andersen-Tawil syndrome (ATS) is a rare genetic disease characterized by a triad of episodic flaccid muscle weakness, ventricular arrhythmias, and physical anomalies. ATS patients have various cardiac arrhythmias that can cause sudden death. Implantation of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) is required when life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias do not respond to medical treatment. An 11-year-old girl underwent surgery for an ICD implantation. For general anesthesia in ATS patients, anesthesiologists should focus on the potentially difficult airway, serious cardiac arrhythmias, such as ventricular tachycardia (VT), and delayed recovery from neuromuscular blockade. We followed the difficult airway algorithm, avoided drugs that can precipitate QT prolongation and fatal cardiac arrhythmias, and tried to maintain normoxia, normocarbia, normothermia, normoglycemia, and pain control for prevention of sympathetic stimulation. We report the successful application of general anesthesia for ICD implantation in a pediatric patient with ATS and recurrent VT.

본 연구는 효모 내에서 생합성된 유기게르마늄을 함유한 게르마늄강화효모 Geranti Bio Ge-Yeast 내에 무기게르마늄이 존재하지 않거나 불검출임을 확인하기 위해 수행하였으며, 이를 뒷받침하기 위한 과학적 논거를 제시하기 위해 $GeO_2$ 정성분석 프로토콜을 수립하여 실험을 실시하였다. 1당량의 $NaBH_4$를 $GeO_2$에 가하면 갈홍색의 침전이 관찰되고 2당량의 $NaBH_4$를 가하면 진한 갈색의 침전이 생성되는데 이 독특한 색을 띠는 침전 생성으로부터 $GeO_2$의 존재를 정성적으로 분석이 가능하였다. $SiO_2$와의 반응 시 색 변화가 일어나지 않는 것으로 보아 색은 Ge-O와 B간의 결합에 의해 생기는 전하이동 전이 때문일 것으로 생각되며, 게르마늄강화효모와의 반응에서는 발색이나 침전이 형성되지 않아 $GeO_2$가 존재하지 않음을 확인하였다. 투석막 외부의 여과액을 취하여 상기 $GeO_2$ 정성 프로토콜에 따라 $NaBH_4$와 반응을 시도하여도 특이한 색 변화와 갈홍색 침전이 관찰되지 않았으므로 투석막을 통과하여 외부에 존재하는 게르마늄도 역시 $GeO_2$의 형태가 아닌 유기게르마늄일 것으로 사료된다. Geranti Bio Ge-Yeast는 생합성 기법을 사용하여 생산된 게르마늄을 강화한 유기게르마늄으로서 더 다양한 분석과 연구를 통해 각각의 single compound들의 구조를 규명하고 분리 정제하는 연구가 필요하리라 사료된다.

Tannins are phenolic compounds that precipitate proteins and composed of a very diverse group of oligomers and polymers. Tannins are potential biological antioxidants, which are widely believed to be an important line of defense against oxidative damage and may participate in the prevention of cancer and cardiovascular disease. Persimmon(Diospyros kaki L.) has been cultivated in East Asia and is a good source of nutritional antioxidant vitamins, carotenoids and tannins. In general persimmon peel was regarded as a waste matter, although based on recent studies, the peel contains more carotenoids and polyphenols than pulp. Several investigation conducted in experimental animals have reported that dietary persimmon fruit and peel effectively lowered the levels of plasma total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol. We conducted experiments to investigate in vitro antioxidative activities of persimmon peel powder (PP) and its soluble tannin extract (ST) and their dietary effects on productive performances and physiological responses in poultry. The PP and ST exhibited in vitro antioxidative activity in SOD - like activity model. The yolk color and eggshell color were significantly improved by the addition of PP and ST into layer diets. The contents of total cholesterol, triacylglycerol and phospholipid of liver in the groups fed diets containing PP and ST tended to be reduce as compared with those of control. With adding of PP and ST, Haugh unit was increased after 7 and 14 days of storage. In conclusion, PP and ST can be used as valuable feed additives for reducing hepatic lipid contents without harmful effects on overall productive performances and physiological responses in laying hens.

When rivers and lakes are contaminated with numerous contaminants, usually the contaminants are finally deposited on the sediments of the waterbody. Many clean up technologies have been developed for the contaminated sediments. Among several technologies dredging is one of the best methods because dredging removes all the contaminated sediments from the water and the contaminated sediments can be completely treated with physical and chemical methods. However the most worried phenomenon is suspension of fine particles during the dredging process. The suspended particle can release contaminants into water and resulted in spread of the contaminants and the increase of risk due to the resuspension of the precipitated contaminants such as heavy metals and toxic organic compounds. Therefore the success of the dredging process depends on the prevention of resuspension of fine particles. Advanced dredging processes employ pumping the sediment with water onto a ship and release the turbid water pumped with sediment into waterbody after collection of sediment solids. Before release of the turbid water into lake or river, just a few minutes allowed to precipitate the suspended particle due to the limited area on a dredging ship. However the fine particle cannot be removed by the gravitational settling over a few minutes. Environmental technology such as coagulation and precipitation could be applied for the settling of fine particles. However, the process needs coagulants and big settling tanks. For the quick settling of the fine particles suspended during dredging process magnetic separation has been tested in current study. Magnetic force increased the settling velocity and the increased settling process can reduce the volume of settling tank usually located in a ship for dredging. The magnetic assisted settling also decreased the heavy metal release through the turbid water by precipitating highly contaminated particles with magnetic force.

Additives such as glycerol, methanol, acetone, and ethanol were used to prevent $NaBO_2$ from precipitation, and their effects on hydrogen generation properties of $NaBH_4$ hydrolysis were investigated. When the concentration of additives was 5 wt%, the additives such as methanol, acetone, and ethanol could not prevent $NaBO_2$ precipitation. Although glycerol prevented $NaBO_2$ precipitation, conversion efficiency decreased to 78.0% due to its viscosity. Based on test results, hydrogen generation tests were also performed at various concentration of glycerol and methanol to investigate the concentration effects on hydrogen generation properties. As the concentration of glycerol increased from 1 wt% to 3 wt%, conversion efficiency increased owing to additive effect. When its concentration increased to 5 wt%, conversion efficiency decreased due to its viscosity. As the concentration of methanol increased from 5 wt% to 10 wt%, conversion efficiency increased owing to additive effect. When its concentration increased to 15 wt%, conversion efficiency decreased due to $NaB(OCH_3)_4$ precipitate. Although conversion efficiency decreased about 1% when 3 wt% glycerol was added, $NaBO_2$ precipitation was prevented. Consequently, addition of 3 wt% glycerol to $NaBH_4$ solution improves stability of hydrogen generation system.
