Rice alcoholic beverages, cheongju and beopju, which are recorded in "Koryodokyung", "Koryosageolyo", and "Koryosa", were used in national and royal ceremonies, and yakju was used in the Palgwanhoi ritual. In the late 11thcentury, King Munjong imported hwaju and haenginjabeopju from the royal family of the Song Dynasty. Alcoholic beverages in the early 12thcentury included the medical use for kings, such as gyehyangeoju, which the Emperor of the Song Dynasty sent to King Yejong, baekjainju, which was sent to King Myeongjong for his health, and yangju, which is goat milk fermented alcohol from the nomads in the northern regions. In the early13th century there was also dongrak, which is a horse-milk fermented alcohol, grape wine sent from Yuan to King Chungryeol in the late 13th century, and sangjonju, a type of special cheongju sent from Yuan in the early 14th century. Baekju from Yuan was recorded in oral traditions, which suggests that soju, which is distilled cheongju, was consumed in the late 14th century. Gold and silver wares for alcoholic beverages had important political, social, and economic meanings as national gifts to other countries and internally as the king's royal gift to his subjects. In the late 14th century, soju was prohibited, and the use of gold and silver wares for alcoholic beverages was banned at the same time. This study examined the historical characteristics of the use of traditional rice alcoholic beverages, the emotional preference for foreign alcoholic beverages, and the gold and silver wares used for alcoholic beverages Koryo Dynasty.

Background : Anemarrhena asphodeloides has efficacy such as anti-fungal, anti-cancerous, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, Anti-UV etc. Metal nanoparticles are used for photo imaging, cancer resection and drug delivery etc in medical field. Therefore A. asphodeloides nanoparticles will be expected better efficacy for therapeutic properties in medical field. Methods and Results : The water extract of A. asphodeloides mediated the synthesis of Aa-AgNPs and Aa-AuNPs. Their characterized by several physicochemical techniques such as UV-Vis spectrophotometry, FE-TEM, EDX spectroscopy, SAED pattern, DLS size analysis, XRD analysis, and FTIR analysis. Both Aa-Ag/AuNPs were evaluated for cytotoxicity towards 3T3-L1, A549, HT29 and MCF7. Aa-AgNPs and Aa-Au NPs were found to be spherical, face-centered cubic nanocrystals with hydrodynamic diameter of 190 and 258 ㎚. In vitro cytotoxic analysis revealed that up to 50 ㎍/㎖-1 concentration Aa-Au NPs did not exhibit any toxicity on 3T3-L1, HT29 and MCF7 cell lines, while being specifically cytotoxic to A549 cell line. On the contrary, Aa-Ag NPs displayed a significantly higher toxicity in all cell lines specially MCF7 cell line. ROS generation was not affected by Aa-Au NPs, but Aa-AgNPs has a higher potential to induce oxidative stress in A549 cells than HT29 and MCF7 cells. Aa-Au NPs have the potential for anticancer agent during lung cancer treatment. Aa-AgNPs is also exhibited to inhibit cell migration by induce oxidatie stress. Conclusion : The Aa-Au/AgNPs might have the anticancer potential and might be effective in the lung cancer therapy, however further evaluation is must needed.

금-은 함유 황화광물 정광으로부터 Au와 Ag를 용출시키기 위하여 황화광물 정광을 건식과 습식으로 전처리하였다. 전처리한 황화광물에 대하여 광물학적 연구와 티오요소 용출실험을 수행하였다. 평균입도와 등전위는 정광시료에서 보다 건식 전-처리 시료에서 낮게 나타났고, 건식 전-처리 시료 보다 습식 전-처리 시료에서 더 낮게 나타났다. XRD 분석결과, 습식 전-처리 시료에서만 비정질의 특성이 나타났다. 정광시료에서, 최대의 Au, Ag 용출인자는 1.0 g의 티오요소, 1.0 M의 황산제2철, 2.0 M의 황산 농도에서 그리고 60℃의 용출온도에서였다. Au, Ag용출률은 건식 전-처리 시료에서 보다 습식 전-처리 시료에서 언제나 많이 그리고 빠르게 나타났다. 따라서, 향후 적당한 미분쇄 첨가제와 시간으로 전처리를 수행하고 비-시안 용매를 적용한다면 친환경적으로 Au, Ag를 용출시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

염소-차아염소산 용액을 소성정광에 적용하여 gold와 silver를 효과적으로 용출시키고자 하였다. 염소 : 차아염소산 혼합비율 1.5 : 1, 그리고 NaCl 농도를 1 M으로 적용하였을 때 Au 용출율은 겨우 75%와 81%이였다. 그러나 광액농도를 1%로, 그리고 용출온도를 65℃로 적용하자 Au 용출율이 100%에 도달되었다. 왕수분해 및 염소-차아염소산 용출 고체 잔유물을 XRD분석을 실시한 결과 석영이 관찰되었다. 따라서 석영 속에 함유된 gold는 염소-차아염소산으로 용출시키지 못할 것으로 사료된다. 따라서 석영 속의 gold를 용출시키기 위해서는 더 작은 미립자로 전처리하거나 더 강력한 산화제를 적용해야 할 것이다.
