-This study was conducted to investigate the antioxidative activity and cytotoxicity of fermented Allium victorialis extract. The results were as follows; The total polyphenol content of A. victorialis extract was 2.63 mg/g, and that of fermented A. victorialis extract was 1.65 mg/g which decreased a little by fermentation. The total flavonoid content of A. victorialis extract was 57.77 mg/g, and that of fermented A. victorialis extract was 62.27 mg/g, and this could increase a little from fermentation. Electron donating ability of A. victorialis extract was lower than vitamin C(97.71%), but before fermentation it was 82.29% and after fermentation it became 82.40%. Nitrite scavenging ability of A. victorialis extract before and after fermentation showed lower numerical value than that of butylated hydroxytoluene(BHT) at pH 2.5 but that of A. victorialis extract expressed higher than that of BHT. Superoxide dismutase-like activity showed relatively low level, 15%. Nitrite production increased by A. victorialis extract but was inhibited after fermentation. Methyl diamphetamine (MDA) content was inhibited with increased concentration of A. victorialis extract compared with H2O2 treatment but there was not any difference before and after fermentation. Therefore, production of lipid peroxide(LPO) was inhibited by A. victorialis extract. Cell viability of fibroblast cell was tend to slightly decrease with increased concentration of A. victorialis extract, but not different with control.

Homogeneous olefin polymerization catalysts are activated in situ with a co-catalyst ([PhN(Me)2-H]+[B(C6F5)4]− or [Ph3C]+[B(C6F5)4]−) in bulk polymerization media. These co-catalysts are insoluble in hydrocarbon solvents, requiring excess co-catalyst (>3 eq). Feeding the activated species as a solution in an aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent may be advantageous over the in situ activation method. In this study, highly pure and soluble ammonium tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borates ([Me(C18H37)2N-H]+[B(C6F5)4]− and [(C18H37)2NH2]+[B(C6F5)4]−) containing neither water nor Cl− salt impurities were prepared easily via the acid–base reaction of [PhN(Me)2-H]+[B(C6F5)4]− and the corresponding amine. Using the prepared ammonium salts, the activation reactions of commercial-process-relevant metallocene (rac-[ethylenebis(tetrahydroindenyl)]Zr(Me)2 (1-ZrMe2), [Ph2C(Cp)(3,6-tBu2Flu)]Hf(Me)2 (3-HfMe2), [Ph2C(Cp)(2,7-tBu2Flu)]Hf(Me)2 (4-HfMe2)) and half-metallocene complexes ([(h5-Me4C5)Si(Me)2(k-NtBu)]Ti(Me)2 (5-TiMe2), [(h5-Me4C5)(C9H9(k-N))]Ti(Me)2 (6-TiMe2), and [(h5-Me3C7H1S)(C10H11(k-N))]Ti(Me)2 (7-TiMe2)) were monitored in C6D12 with 1H NMR spectroscopy. Stable [L-M(Me)(NMe(C18H37)2)]+[B(C6F5)4]− species were cleanly generated from 1-ZrMe2, 3-HfMe2, and 4-HfMe2, while the species types generated from 5-TiMe2, 6-TiMe2, and 7-TiMe2 were unstable for subsequent transformation to other species (presumably, [L-Ti(CH2N(C18H37)2)]+[B(C6F5)4]−-type species). [L-TiCl(N(H)(C18H37)2)]+[B(C6F5)4]−-type species were also prepared from 5-TiCl(Me) and 6-TiCl(Me), which were newly prepared in this study. The prepared [L-M(Me)(NMe(C18H37)2)]+[B(C6F5)4]−-, [L-Ti(CH2N(C18H37)2)]+[B(C6F5)4]−-, and [L-TiCl(N(H)(C18H37)2)]+[B(C6F5)4]−-type species, which are soluble and stable in aliphatic hydrocarbon solvents, were highly active in ethylene/1-octene copolymerization performed in aliphatic hydrocarbon solvents.

Schools where adolescents spend most of their time should develop a variety of activity programs to encourage them to participate in more physical activities in physical education time, break time, lunch time, and after-school time. To support the direction, educational policy and students and parents' perception on physical education should be changed, and organized plans should be developed through cooperation with experts of communities.
