In order to examine the mechanism of asbestos clastogenicity, CHO cells were treated with chrysotile and crocidolite. Crocidolite and chrysotile were able to induce lipid peroxidation in a dose dependent manner. Ultrafiltrate of culture media from CHO cells treated with chrysotile/crocidolite induced sister chromatid exchange in CHO cells. Ultrafiltrate of culture media from CHO cells treated with chrysotile induced chromosome aberration but it was not statistically significant. Simultaneous treatment of 3-Aminobenzamide (3-AB) or cytosine arabinoside (Ara C) with crocidolite had no effect on the frequency of chromosome aberration by crocidolite whetease posttreatment of caffeine significantly increased the chromosomel aberration by crocidolite. This indicated that DNA damage by asbestos took place at late stage of cell cycle. The results suggested that the ultrafiltrate of media contained clastogenic factor (CF) and lipid peroxidation might be involved in the formation of CF.

Objectives : This study aim to find out the reason why perspiration related with the Heart in Korean Medicine. Results : Perspiration is closely connected with the Heart because sweat is a kind of ultrafiltrate of the blood and the Heart conducts blood. In order to perspire, it is necessary to increase blood flow to capillary surrounding sweat glands. The Heart plays an important role in increasing blood flow to capillary surrounding sweat glands. Perspiration controls the body temperature. It must be increase the blood flow to skin in order that down the high body temperature. The Heart plays an important role in increasing blood flow. Conclusions : Perspiration is closely connected with the Heart because sweat is a kind of ultrafiltrate of the blood and there are plenty capillary surround sweat gland. The Heart controls the blood flow to skin in order to regulate of body temperature.

Angiotensin converting enzyme(ACE) inhibitory peptides lowering blood pressure were fractionated from a commercial soybean paste(Doenjang). When the freeze-dried sample of soybean paste was extracted with cold water, the recovery yield of total nitrogen(TN) was shown to be 73.3% in 30 minutes. The cold water extract was filtered through PM-10 membrane(Amicon) for 3 hours in order to remove high molecular weight polypeptides. The TN and salt of ultrafiltrate were recovered to 80.8% and 99.2%, respectively, and its ACE $IC_{50}$ was $41.8{\mu}g/ml$. When the ultrafiltrate was divided into 7 fractions by reverse phase prep-HPLC, F5 fraction showed the highest ACE inhibitory activity ($IC_{50}=6.8{\mu}g/ml$) and salt could be collected into F1 fraction. Subsequently, the F5 fraction was divided into another five fractions by ion exchange prep-HPLC, all of which appeared to be high ACE inhibitory activity($IC_{50}=2.5{\sim}8.3{\mu}g/ml$). Among them, F53 fraction had the highest ACE inhibitory activity, and its main amino acid component was found to be histidine.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a protein-free, standardized dialysate/ultrafiltrate (HD) derivatives from calf blood (Solcoseryl$^{(R)}$) for second-intention full-thickness skin wound healing in dogs. Three $2{\times}2cm$ area-matched full-thickness skin wounds were created bilaterally on the dorsolateral aspect of the trunk of nine dogs. In each dog, two wounds were treated with HD, cemella asiatica extract (Centrasol$^{(R)}$) and normal saline, respectively. For six weeks, the wounds were evaluated grossly for contraction, epithelialization and healing and were examined histopathologically. In the first week of the wound healing period, HD stimulated wound contraction and healing more significantly than centasol and normal saline (p<0.05). Neutrophils were more increased in the HD-treated wounds than those in centasol or normal saline treated wounds. In the second week, HD stimulated epithelialization more significantly than centasol or normal saline (p<0.05), and neovascularization and granulation more increased in the HD-treated wounds than those in centasol and normal saline treated wounds. In conclusion, HD was the most effective on early wound contraction, epithelialization and healings among three experimental drugs in full-thickness skin wound.

The extracts from tomatoes, apples, carrots, mallows, watercreses+pine needles, Angelica keiskei Koiz, jujubes and lemons were selected and mixed at the ratio of 3 : 3 : 3 : 1/2 : 1/2 : 1/2 : 1/2 : 1/5 on the basis of sensory evaluation. The mixed extracts were divided into three lots and treated as follows. The first lot was heated for 15 sec at $96^{\circ}C$ without centrifugation and filtration, the second filtered through a ultramembrane filter. For the third one, the ultrafiltrate combined with autoclaved retentates on the membrane filter and the previous centrifugal precipitation. The mixed juices were stored in the glass bottles with atmosphere or in film package with nitrogen gas. And then they were stored at $4^{\circ}$ and $20^{\circ}C$. During storage the treated juices showed $pH\;4.07{\sim}4.10$, titratable acidity $66.35{\sim}84.08$, soluble solid $7{\sim}9^{\circ}Brix$, reducing sugar $5.42{\sim}6.97%$, glucose $1.96{\sim}2.30%$ and fructose $3.46{\sim}4.14%$. The ultrafiltered juices showed yellow color, different from orange color of other treatment lots. Peroxidase activity and microbial population were inhibited by thermal treatment and ultrafiltration. The browning effects of the mixed juice of fruits and vegetables during storage were caused by ascorbic acid oxidation and non-enzymatic browning reaction, which could be reduced by change and packing with nitrogen gas instead of atmosphere inside bottles.
