Dipalmitoyl phosphatidyl choline(DPPC), Polyphenol Derivatives, and Hematoxylin-Eosin were directly sonicated in acidic condition for 6 minutes to give clear stock solutions. Absorbtion properties of Polyphenol Derivatives in lecithin vesicle of Diphalmitoyl phosphatidyl choline system at $25^{\circ}C$ have been studied by absorbtion spectroscopy. The equilibrium of Polyphenol Derivatives between monomer and dimer in lecithin vesicles have been existed at low concentration of Polyphenol Derivatives, but oligomer has been formed in vesicle at high concentration of lecithin vesicles. By adding Bacteriorhodopsin(BR) to constant concentration of Polyphenol Derivatives decreased the absorbtion ratio(${\alpha}/{\beta}$) of Polyphenol Derivatives was increased during phase transition of dipalmitoyl phosphatidyl choline. In the presence of column eluted lamella vesicle and mixture of uni- and multilamella aggregates. The differences of rate between column eluted- and mixture were observed, therefore column eluted lamella reaction was represented more catalytic effect. The phase transition temperature of hydrolysis on Dipalmitoyl phosphatidyl choline and Polyphenol Derivatives were measured higher than it of Dipalmitoyl phosphatidyl choline and no Polyphenol Derivatives.

Oocytes maturation, characterized by germinal vesicle (GV) breakdown, formation of the first meiotic spindle, expulsion of the first polar body and arrest in metaphase of second meiotic division (MII), occurs in preovulatory follicles in response to the surge of gonadotropin and leads to an ovulated oocyte in vivo. However, meiotic resumption in vitro occurs spontaneously following removal of cumulus-oocytes complexes (COCs) from the follicle. (omitted)

Membranes are a central feature of all biological systems and their ability to control many cellular processes is critically important. As a result, a better understanding of how molecules bind to biological membranes is an active area of research. In this report, the interaction between our biomimetic structures and different biological membranes is reported using both model vesicle and in vitro bacterial cell experiments. These results show that lipid composition is more important for selectivity than overall net charge. An effort is made to connect model vesicle studies with in vitro data and naturally occurring lipid compositions.

Synapsins were the first presynaptic proteins identified and have served as the flagship of the presynaptic protein field. Here we review recent studies demonstrating that different members of the synapsin family play different roles at presynaptic terminals employing different types of synaptic vesicles. The structural underpinnings for these functions are just beginning to be understood and should provide a focus for future efforts.

Actin filament is a major cytoskeleton in synapses and highly enriched in the presynaptic and postsynaptic compartments. Their roles in synaptic vesicle recycling and synaptogenesis have been extensively studied but functional evidence whether actin filaments are involved in these processes is as yet lacking. Dysfunction in synaptic vesicle recycling causes various diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Schizophrenia, Bipolar disease, depression etc.

Hershberger assay is known as one of the in vivo-short-term scrrning assays for endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), but this method is not a validated test system. In the present study, the establishment of Hershberger assay to detect EDCs was tried using a model substance, di(n-butyl)phthalate (DBP), a plasticizer for plastics. Thirty-six immature male rats were randomly assigned to six groups: DBP 0, 40, 200, and 1000mg/kg, a positive control (flutamide 20 mg/kg), and a combination group(DBP 1000mg/kg and testosterone 50 ug/kg). DBP and flutamide were administered by gavage to male rats from day 21 to 40 post partum. Testosterone was subcutaneously injected during the same period. We evaluated body weigth gain, weights of ventral prostate, seminal vesicle, and levator ani and bulvocavernous muscle, and serum concentrations of testosterone and lutenizing hormone in male rats. The weights of seminal vesicle and levator ani and bulvocavernous muscle of males receiving 1000mg/kg of DBP was significantly lower than controls. There was no effect of DBP-treatment on body weight gain, prostate weight, and hormone concentrations. In the positive control group, the weights of seminal vesicle and levator ani and bulvocavernous muscle of males receiving 20mg/kg of flutamide were significantly lower than controls. In the combination group, there was no effect of co-treatment of DBP and testosterone on all parameters effect against DBP. This method was found to be a useful short-term screening assay system for EDCs.

Spermatid differentiations during spermiogenesis and mature sperm ultrastructure in male Crassostrea nipponica were investigated by transmission electron microscope observations. The morphology of the spermatozoon of this species has a primitive type and is similar to those of other bivalves. Mature spermatozoa consist of broad, cap-shaped acrosomal vesicle and an axial rod in subacrosomal materials on an oval nucleus showing deeply invaginated anteriorly, two triplet substructure centrioles surrounded by four spherical mitochondria, and satelite fibres, which appear near the distal centriole. The acrosomal vesicle of spermatozoa of C. nipponica resemble to those of other investigated ostreids. Especially, two transverse bands (stripes) appear at the anterior region of the acrosomal vesicle, unlikely 2-3 transverse bands (stripes) in C. gigas. It is assumed that differences in this acrosomal substructure are associated with the inability of fertilization between the genus Crassostrea and other genus species in Ostreidae. Therefore, we can use sperm morphology in the resolution of taxonomic relationships within the Ostreidea. The sperm is approximately $48-50{\mu}m$ in length including an oval sperm nucleus (about $1.0{\mu}m$ in length and $1.41{\mu}m$ in width), an acrosome (about $0.48{\mu}m$ in length and 0.30 in width) and tail flagellum ($46-48{\mu}m$). The axoneme of the sperm tail flagellum consists of nine pairs of microtubules at the periphery and a pair at the center. The axoneme of the sperm tail shows a 9 + 2 structure. These morphological charateristics of acrosomal vesicle belong to the family Ostreidae in the subclass Pteriomorphia.

Phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C(PI-PLC) is a second messenger of signal transducer on cell membrane. In the previous study, PLC of bovine brain has been purified three isozymes. In this paper, uterus and seminal vesicle have been purified. Two peaks of PI-PLC activity were resolved when bovine uterus and seminal vesicle proteins were chromatographed on a DEAE and phenyl TSK 5PW HPLC column. Each two peak was compared with PI-PLC I, IT and ill from bovine brain and we got the retension time on HPLC. The peak fractions with PLC activity were tested homogeneity with brain PLC monoclonal antibodies(Mab). Mab-labeled affigels were bounded in the range of 73.8%~97.5% with PLC I, IT and III. Homogeneity of fractions were revealed that DEAE F-1 and phenyl F-1-I were highest level of PLC III in uterus and seminal vesicle and DEAE F-2 and phenyl F-2-I were mixed PLC I and II.

We investigated the property of formation of mono-vesicle(designated nano-some) with using of the combined co-emulsifiers and phospholipid. Nano-some was prepared with hydrogenated lecithin(HL) and diethanolamine cetyl phosphate(DEA-CP) by swelling reaction. Kojic acid and kojic dipalmitate could be made stabilization by nano-some system using microfluidizer(MF). Nano-some has a good affinity to skin by means of this system. The composition was compounded by 2% of hydrogenated lecithin (phosphatidyl choline contained with 75%, 0.5% of DEA-CP and 0.5% of diglyceryl dioleate (DGDO). To make nano-some, several conditions of MF have to be considered as follows. The optimum pH was 6.0. The pressure was 10,000psi and passage temperature was at $306^{\circ}C$. The nano-some base was passed to homogenize continually 3 times through MF. The Particle size distributions of the vesicles were with in $57{\sim}75.7nm$(mean 66nm) by measuring the Zetasizer-3000. Zeta potential of vesicles with 3 times passage through MF was -24.8mV. Formations for nano-some vesicle certificated photograph by scanning electric magnification (SEM). Stability of nano-some was very good for 6months. The turbidity was very good transparency compared nano-some with liposome. It was formed the mono vesicle in the opposite direction to be formed the multi-lamellar vesicle of liposome.
