Urease was immobilized with calcium alginate by entrapment method in the form of spherical beads and stored in Tris/acetate buffer (pH 7.3) at $4^{\circ}C$. Urease immobilized at different concentration of alginate beads (3%, 4% and 5%) showed higher apparent $K_{m}$ values than the soluble urease. Furthermore, $K_{m}$ has been shown to be corelated with effective diffusion coefficient (De) at different concentration of alginate gel. The present study showed that diffusion and reaction contribute to control the overall rate.

The aim of the present study was to elucidate whether gallic acid could modulate the inflammatory allergic reaction and to study its mechanism of action Gallic acid inhibited compound 48/80- or immunoglobulin E (IgE)-induced histamine release from mast cells. The inhibitory effect of gallic acid on the histamine release was mediated by modulation of cAMP and intracellular calcium. Gallic acid decreased the phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate plus calcium ionophore A23187-stimulated pro-inflammatory cytokine gene expression and production such as TNF- ${\alpha}$ and IL-6 in human mast cells, and the inhibitory effect of gallic acid was on dependent nuclear factor- ${\kappa}$B and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase. Our findings provide evidence that gallic acid inhibits mast cell-derived inflammatory allergic reaction by blocking histamine release and pro-inflammatory cytokine expression.

The bio-mediated production of calcite crystals by calcinogenic bacteria has great applicable value for the restoration of deteriorated calcareous monuments, because of its high purity and coherency. An investigation of the conditions for calcite production by an alkalophilic Bacillus amyloliquefaciens CMB01 strain was made. Optimal calcite precipitation occurred when the bacterium was cultured at pH 8.0 and 30$^{\circ}C$, and in B4 medium that consisted of 0.4% yeast extract, 0.5% glucose, and 1.5% calcium acetate. Calcium ion of the bacterially induced calcite was analyzed by an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) spectrophotometer. Optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of the calcite revealed a typical rombohedral polycrystalline structure.

The biogenic corrosion of mortars adopted in sewage repair by sulfuric acid-producing bacteria was considered in this paper. Calcium aluminate cement (CAC) was known to resist microbiologically-induced corrosion significantly better than portland and blended portland cement.In this study, CAC as well portland cement mortars were tested as main binder to evaluate the corrosion resistance by the chemical immersion test. Replacement ratios of CAC were changed as 0, 20, 40, 50, 60% of OPC binder and 0, 2, 4, 6% of EVA(Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) were also adopted to increase properties of CAC repair mortars in sewage application. Setting time, compressive strength, acid resistance and adhesive strength were measured for various experiments. As a results of the experiments, the proper formulation of repair mortars was found at 40% of CAC and 4% of EVA. Finally, the CAC mortars adopted in field sewer pipe and were demonstrated to superior in adhesion and workability.

In this study, I have tested the effects of the agents and dyeing conditions on the Brazil-wood dyestuff as one plant dyestuffs. According to the tests, I have fount that color differenciation depending opon the agents and procedual condtitions. As the agents, Alm induced redness and light yellowness by Aluminum Acetate, dark greenness or blueness by Ferrous chloride, dark redness by Stannous Chloride, dark grenness or blueness by Copperous Chloride, light yellowness or greenness by Calcium Dihydroxide. On the other hand, color-fastness differed from various mordant agents. The color-fastnes was solid using multiple agents than sole agent.

Synaptosome에 의한 [$^3$H]-serotonin의 일반적인 흡수특성과 이 과정에 납이 미치는 영향을 in vitro와 in vitro에서 관찰하였다. 흰쥐의 대뇌와 뇌간에서 각각 분리한 synaptosome의 흡수친화력은 대뇌가 Km=0.5$\mu$M, 뇌간이 Km=0.1$\mu$M로 모두 고친화성 흡수였고 뇌간에서 더 높았다. 또한 이 흡수과정에 sodium과 potassium이온이 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. Synaptosome이 [$^3$H]-serotonin을 흡수하는 과정은 납에 의해 억제되었고 이러한 납의 독성영향은 in vitro와 in vitro에서 유사한 결과를 보였다.

Recently, we demonstrated that human serum amyloid P component (SAP) specifically recognizes exposed bacterial peptidoglycan (PGN) of wall teichoic acid (WTA)-deficient Staphylococcus aureus ${\Delta}$tagO mutant cells and then induces complement-independent phagocytosis. In our preliminary experiments, we found the existence of human serum immunoglobulins that recognize S. aureus PGN (anti-PGNIgGs), which may be involved in complement-dependent opsonophagocytosis against infected S. aureus cells. We assumed that purified serum anti-PGN-IgGs and S. aureus ${\Delta}$tagO mutant cells are good tools to study the molecular mechanism of anti-PGN-IgG-mediated phagocytosis. Therefore, we tried to identify the intracellular molecule(s) that is involved in the anti-PGN-IgG-mediated phagocytosis using purified human serum anti-PGN-IgGs and different S. aureus mutant cells. Here, we show that anti-PGN-IgG-mediated phagocytosis in phorbol myristate acetate-treated U937 cells is mediated by $Ca^{2+}$ release from intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ stores and anti-PGN-IgGdependent $Ca^{2+}$ mobilization is controlled via a phospholipase C${\gamma}$-2-mediated pathway.

Lidocaine의 심근수축력 억제 작용에 관한 기전연구 일환으로 lidocaine에 의해 수축력이 감소된 흰쥐 적출심방에 대한 fructose의 효과를 검토하였다. Fructose는 기질제거에 의해 감소된 적출심방의 수축력을 현저히 증가시켰으며, 30mM에서 최대 증가효과를 나타냈다. Krebs-Ringer glucose용액에 현수한 적출심방의 수축력은 0.1mM lidocaine에 의해 약 50%의 감소를 나타냈으며, 30mM fructose의 투여는 이 감소된 수축력을 현저히 증가 시켰다. Lidocaine 억제심방에 대한 fructose의 실험 성적은 pyruvate나 acetate에서 얻은 실험성적과 유사하였다. 그러나 같은 농도의 fructose는 저 calcium(1/2)농도의 Krebs-Ringer glucose medium에서 감소(약 50% 감소)된 적출심방의 수축력을 증가시키지 못하였다. 이상의 결과에서 lidocaine은 심근내 포도당 대사를 해당과정에서 억제한다는 가능성을 재확인하고 있으며, 나아가서 lidocaine은 해당과정의 phosphofructokinase step 이전의 초기단계에서 억제하고 있을 가능성을 시사하고 있다.

본 실험은 방사선을 이용하여 Polyester 직포의 흡수성과 염색성 그리고 대전성을 증진시키기 위한 연구로서 실온하에서 함침법으로 Acrylic acid또는 4-vinylpyridine을 Polyester 직포에 접목시켰다. Polyester 직포를 25$^{\circ}$또는 7$0^{\circ}C$에서 Acrylic acid나 Acrylic acid와 4-vinylpyridine의 emulsion 용액에 함침시켰으며 함침된 Polyester 직포를 질소깨스 존재 하에서 Co-60의 l-rays로 조사시켰다. Acrylic acid가 접목된 Polyester 직포를 Sodium carbonate, Calcium acetate 또는 Potassium persulfate로 처리하였을 때 흡수율은 더욱 증가하였으며 직포 표면에 형성된 polyacrylic acid 는 0.1% NaoH 용액으로 대부분 추출되었다. 4-vinylpyridine과 Acrylic acid의 혼합용액을 함침용액으로 사용하였을 경우 4-VP/AA의 비율과 방사선 선량이 커짐에 따라 접목율은 점점 증가함을 보여주었다. 여러가지로 처리된 Polyester 직포 표면에 물방울을 떨어 뜨렸을 때의 Contact angle을 측정하여 보니 접목율이 증가함에 따라 대전성은 감소하였다. Acryli acid가 접목된 Polyester 섬유를 Salt로 처리하여 전자 현미경으로 관찰하여 본 결과 일련의 무정형 형태로 결합되어 있었다.

Transgluaminase반응을 이용하여 ATP analog들$(C^8-ATP와 N^6-ATP)$을 casein에 고정화하였다. 고정화 ATP는 hexokinase에 의해 탈인산화되어 약55%가 ATP형으로 전환되었으며, 이는 acetate kinase에 의해 역으로 인산화되어 약80%가 ATP형으로 전환 되었다. $\beta$-Casein은 $$\alpha$_s_1-casein$에 비하여 glutamine 잔기의 수가 많으며,$N^6-ATP$의 경우 이의 alkyl carbamyl기와 casein의 carboxamide기 간의 정전기적 반발에 원인이 있는 것으로 보인다. ATP는 고정화하므로써 안정성이 증대되었으며, 고정화 ATP의 km치는 유리상의 ATP및 ATP analog의 그것과 비슷하였으나, 최대속도는 감소되었다. 고정하 ATP는 반응액에서 calcium의 첨가로 쉽게 침전되어 용액으로부터 거의 완전히 회수 되므로써, 반응액으로부터의 회수분리가 가능한 이점을 가졌다.
