Abstract: Disclosed herein are a sensor for detecting cancerous tissue, a method of manufacturing the same, and a method of monitoring the presence and status of cancerous tissue in real time. The sensor for detecting cancerous tissue includes a board, one or more pairs of needle electrodes, and an output unit. The needle electrodes are formed on the board, and obtain electrical signals from tissue. The output unit outputs the electrical signals, obtained from the electrodes, to the outside.

Abstract: A biodegradable and thermosensitive poly(organophosphazene) with a functional group, a preparation method thereof, and a use thereof for delivery of bioactive substances are provided.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of converting butyric acid contained in a fermentation broth into biofuel. This chemical conversion method includes separating biohydrogen from gases generated in the course of production of butyric acid through fermentation of carbohydrate, extracting butyric acid from the broth using an insoluble solvent, esterifying butyric acid thus producing butylbutyrate, and hydrogenolyzing all or part of butylbutyrate, thus obtaining butanol. Thereby, biobutanol can be efficiently and economically produced, and butylbutyrate, which has oxidation stability superior to that of conventional biodiesel (fatty acid methyl ester) and is thus regarded as novel biofuel, can be produced together.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a poly(organophosphazene)-bioactive molecule conjugates in which biodegradable and thermosensitive poly(organophosphazene) with a functional group showing the sol-gel phase transition with change of temperature is combined with various bioactive molecules, such as drugs, a preparation method thereof, and a use thereof for delivery of bioactive molecules.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of preparing trans fat-free oils and fats by an enzymatic interesterification (EI), and trans fat-free oils and fats prepared by the method. Specifically, the method comprises the steps of: 1) mixing fully hydrogenated fat derived from vegetable oil with RBD olive oil; 2) adding lipase to the mixed oil and reacting the mixed oil with lipase at 65 to 80° C. for 1 to 4 hours (1st reaction step); and 3) reacting the mixed oil from step 2) with the lipase at 40 to 60° C. for 44 to 47 hours (2nd reaction step).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a biodegradable and thermosensitive poly(organophosphazene) with a functional group, a preparation method thereof, and a use thereof for delivery of bioactive substances. According to the present invention, poly(organophosphazene) is a phosphagen-based polymer showing biodegradability, thermosensitivity, and sol-gel phase transition depending on temperature change, whereby when administered into a living body with bioactive substances such as drugs, the poly(organophosphazene) forms a gel-phase at body temperature to be capable of controlled release of the bioactive substances. Further, the poly(organophosphazene) has functional groups to chemically bind with bioactive substances through an ionic bond, covalent bond, or coordinate covalent bond to be capable of a sustained release of the bioactive substances due to its good binding property. Therefore, the poly(organophosphazene) is useful as a delivery material for bioactive substances.
