Polyphosphate의 Candida albicans와 Trichophyton mentagrophytes에 대한 항진균 작용에 대하여 연구하였다. 평균 사슬길이가 15, 45, 75인 polyphosphate는 진균에 대하여 성장억제 효과를 나타낸 반면, pyrophosphate는 성장억제 효과가 없었다. 사슬길이가 증가함에 따라서 진균 성장억제 효과가 증가하는 것으로 관찰되었으며 $800\;{\mu}g/ml$ 농도에서는 균주의 성장을 완전히 억제시켰다. $Mg^{2+}$나 $Ca^{2+}$의 첨가는 polyphosphate의 성장억제 효과를 감소시켰다. Polyphosphate를 처리한 C. albicans에서는 핵산물질의 유리가 관찰되었으며, 세포 swelling이나 표면돌출과 같은 세포형태 변화도 관찰되었다. 세포막 불투과성 물질인 propidium iodide는 Polyphosphate를 처리한 C. albicans의 핵을 염색하는 것이 관찰되었다. Polyphosphate의 항진균 작용은 polyphosphate가 진균 세포벽이나 세포막의 필수 양이온에 대한 chelation 효과에 의한 것으로 사려된다.

Callus cultures of Azadirachta indica flower petals were established on MS medium supplemented with naphthalene acetic acid (1 mg/L), kinetin (0.5 mg/L) and sucrose $(3\%\;w/v)$. Cell cultures of Azadirachta indica were established and studied the growth and production kinetics. Half 85 medium supplemented with dicamba (2 mg/L), kinetin (1 mg/L) and sucrose $(3\%\;w/v)$ was found to be suitable for initiation and maintenance of cell cultures from the calli. MS medium supplemented with naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) (1 mg/L), kinetin (0.5 mg/L) and sucrose $(3\%\;w/v)$ was found to be suitable as production medium. Around $80\%\;(0.05\%\;w/v)$ of azadirachtin was found to be intracellular. The effect of various precursors, elicitors, permeabilizing agents and growth retardants in cell cultures was studied. The addition of precursors sodium acetate (10 mg/L), squalene (10 mg/L), isopentenyl pyrophosphate (1 mg/L) and geranyl pyrophosphate (1 mg/L) to the cell cultures on day 3 has shown significant increase in bioproduction of azadirachtin $(64.94{\pm}4.40\;mg/L,\;72.81{\pm}0.04\;mg/L,\;51.63{\pm}1.26\;mg/L\;and\;30.70{\pm}0.28\;mg/L\;respectively)$ over the control cultures $(4.70{\pm}0.27 mg/L)$. $5\%$ v/v cell extracts of Fusarium solani has shown moderate increase in the content of azadirachtin $(5.71{\pm}0.34\;mg/L)$ when compared to control cultures $(2.40{\pm}0.56\;mg/L)$. The addition of methyl jasmonate $(500\;{\mu}M/L)$ on day 3 has shown $\~4$ fold improvement in bioproduction of azadirachtln $(6.92{\pm}0.11\;mg/L)$ when compared to control cultures $(1.63{\pm}0.02\;mg/L)$. There was no significant effect of the studied growth retardants and permeabilizing agents on bioproduction of azadirachtin. Cells are cultivated in large volumes using the effective precursors.

Study Design: Prospective study. Purpose: To assess the prevalence of periodontoid calcification and its associations with acute cervical pain. Overview of Literature: Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) deposition disease is a common rheumatological disorder that occurs especially in elderly patients. Although CPPD crystals induce acute arthritis, these crystals are not usually symptomatic. Calcification surrounding the odontoid process (periodontoid calcification) has been reported to induce inflammation, resulting in acute neck pain. This disease is called crowned dens syndrome. Whether calcification induces inflammation or whether the crystals are symptomatic remains unclear. Methods: The prevalence of periodontoid calcification at the atlas transverse ligament was examined by computed tomography of the upper cervical spine in patients suspected of brain disease but no cervical pain (control group, n=296), patients with pseudogout of the peripheral joints but no cervical pain (arthritis group, n=41), and patients with acute neck pain (neck pain group, n=22). Next, the correlation between the prevalence of periodontoid calcification and symptoms was analyzed. Results: In the control group, 40 patients (13.5%) showed periodontoid calcification with no significant difference in the prevalence with gender. The prevalence of calcification increased significantly with age (p=0.002). In the arthritis group, 26 patients (63.4%) reported periodontoid calcification. In the neck pain group, 14 patients (63.6%) reported periodontoid calcification. Multiple logistic regression analysis by age and group revealed that higher age, inclusion in the arthritis group, and inclusion in the neck pain group significantly affected the prevalence of calcification. Conclusions: Our results cumulatively suggest that periodontoid calcification is an aging-related reaction and that calcification per se does not always cause neck pain. Periodontoid calcification was observed more frequently in patients with pseudogout of the peripheral joints and in those with acute neck pain than in asymptomatic control patients.

꽃잎맨드라미 anthocyanin을 식용색소(食用色素)로 이용할 목적으로 모델시스템하에서 anthocyanin 안정성(安定性)에 미치는 온도, pH, 당류(糖類) 및 그 분해산물(分解産物), ascorbic acid, quercetin, sodium pyrophosphate, thiouea 그리고 금속(金屬) 이온들의 영향을 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. pH가 8.0에서 1.0으로 낮아짐에 따라 anthocyanin의 파괴(破壞)가 지연되였는데 pH 2.0에서는 초기의 anthocyanin 파괴(破壞)가 pH 2.0, 3.0에서 보다 더 빨랐다. 2. 수용액내에서 가열 $(80^{\circ}C)$시 pH 2.0에서의 anthocyanin잔존량(殘存量)이 다른 pH수준에서보다 더 많았으며 저장온도가 상승함에 따라 색소(色素)의 파괴(破壞)가 크게 촉진되었는데 $40^{\circ}C$의 암소(暗笑)에서 10일후 19%정도 $2^{\circ}C$에서는 90%정도 남아 있었고 $2^{\circ}C$에서의 반감기(半減期)는 63일이었으나 $40^{\circ}C$에서는 1.7일로 떨어졌다. 이 색소파괴(色素破壞) 반응(反應)의 활성화(活性化)에너지는 18.93kcal/mole였다. 3. AA의 농도가 15 mg/100 ml에서 50 mg/100 ml로 증가함에 따라 반면에 색소잔존량(色素殘存量)은 줄어 들었다. 4. Anthocyanin의 파괴(破壞)에 대한 glucose와 fructose영향사이에 뚜렷한 차이가 없었으며 당류분해물(糖類分解物)중에서는 formic acid, levulinic acid, furfural 순으로 색소잔존율(色素殘存率)이 감소하였으며 furfural anthocyanin 파괴작용(破壞作用)이 가장 심하였다. 5. Ascorbic acid 공존하(共存下)에서 quercetin, sodium pyrophosphate 다같이 anthocyanin에 대한 보호작용을 인정할 수 없었으나 thiourea가 50 및 100 mg/100 ml인 처리구에서는 색소손실량(色素損失量)이 상당히 줄어 들었다. 6. 금속(金屬) 이온들중 $Hg^{2+}$과 $Cu^{2+}$은 30 ppm에서 기타 금속(金屬)이온들에 비하여 anthocyanin의 파괴(破壞)를 촉진시켰다.

The composition and the microstructure of the Sn-Ni alloy electrodeposited in pyrophosphate bath were investigated according to the electrolysis conditions. The cathode current efficiency increased with the addition of $NH_4CI$ and glycine, while it decreased with the increase of current density. The Sn content of the alloy deposits increased with the increase of $NH_4CI$ in the bath. The alloys with 51~71wt.% Sn had the NiSn single phase structure. The preferred orientation of the single phase alloys changed from (110) to (110)+(101) with the increase of current density and cathode overpotential. The single phase alloys with 50~60wt.%Sn had the smooth surface structure with fine crystallite, while the multiphase alloys showed the surface structure with crystal size and cracks at high curret density.

The optimal condition for minimal agglomeration of barium titanyl oxalate tetrahydrate, the precipitate on preparing barium titanate by oxalate process, was investigated. Burette-dropping and dual-nozzle-spraying were used as adding methods. pH of washing water for precipitates was changed, and sodium pyrophosphate solution, methanol, ethoanol, and acetone were used as washing agents for precipitates, as well as distilled water. Drying temperature was changed from $50^{\circ}C$ to $120^{\circ}C$. Spraying, methanol-washing, and drying at $60^{\circ}C$ showed the most dispersed distribution, Below $70^{\circ}C$, the crystalline phases were observed.

ZnO-P2O5 system glass containing 45 to 60 mol% ZnO has been melted at 120$0^{\circ}C$ and crystallized through heat treatment. Each condition of crystallization was determined by measurement of dilatometric softening point and DTA. The principal crystalline phase was identified as zinc metaphosphate [Zn(PO3)2] in the glasses containing 45~55 mol% ZnO and zinc pyrophosphate (Zn2P2O7) in the sample of 60 mol% ZnO with X-ray diffraction patterns. The crystalline mechanism was investigated by XRD and SEM. As the results, the specimens containing 50~60% ZnO showed the existence of oriented structure due to one-dimensional crystal growth.

Phenylglyoxal diethyl pyrocarbonate (DEPC), and 1-cyclohexyl-3-[2-morpholinoethyl]-carbodiimide metho-p-toluenesulfonate (CMC) are modifying reagents specific for arginine, histidine, and aspartate or glutamate, respectively. They were found to inactivate S. cerevisiae farnesyl protein transferase (FPTase). The peptide substrate protected the enzyme against inactivation by CMC and the other substrate farnesyl pyrophosphate showed protection against inactivation by phenylglyoxal. while neither of the two substrates protected the enzyme against DEPC inactivation. These results suggest the presence of aspartate/glutamate, arginine and histidine residues at the active site of this enzyme.

It was examined that the rheological behaviors of fly ash 70wt%-clay 30wt% slip in which nonplastic fly ash was a major component. We have systematically investigated the effects of deflocculant(Tetrasodium pyrophosphate ; Na4P2O7 nH2O Sodium silicate; Na2SiO3) and coagulant(CaSO4) on the rheological behavior of ash-clay slip. Ash-clay slip have been characterized on the basis of the time dependent rheology which was done out by the gel-curve test. Dispersion mechanism of ash-clay slip is the steric stabilization by the Na2SiO3 coating of cenospheres surface. Coagulated slip seems to have the new network structure and shows the gellation behaviors which makes it possible to direct coagulated casting(DCC).
