This study was performed to provide the basic information on characteristics of groundwater pollution in Gyeongsan city. Forty two groundwater samples were collected, and pH, DO, COD, $NH_3-N,\;NO_3^--N$, T-N, $PO_4^{3-}-P$, Cl, Ca, Mg, hardness, evaporate residues and others were investigated. And, ANOVA analyses were carried out to reveal the differences in water pollution indicator values of by industry, commerce/residence and agriculture areas. The results were as follows. 1. The mean values of pH, DO, COD, $NH_3-N,\;NO_3^--N$, T-N, $PO_4^{3-}-P$, Cl, evaporate residues, Ca and hardness were 6.9, $7.9mg/\ell,\;0.4mg/\ell,\;2.44mg/\ell,\;2.73mg/\ell,\;6.06mg/\ell,\;0.82mg/\ell,\;32.72mg/\ell,\;381.67mg/\ell,\;41.53mg/\ell,\;177.17mg/\ell$, respectively. 2. As groundwater became deeper, the values of Cl, Ca, Mg, Na, hardness and evaporate residues remarkably increased, but those of COD, $NH_3^--N,\;NO_3^--N,\;NO_2^-N$, T-N decreased. 3. The values of COD, Cl, Ca, Mg, Na, hardness and evaporate residues were very high in industrial area, and those of $NH_3-N,\;NO_2^--N$, T-N were very high in commercial/residential area, and those of $NO_3^--N$ were a little high in agricultural area. 4. The correlations between depth and each value of Mg, Na, Fe, hardness and evaporate residues were highly positive, and those between DO and each value of Mg, Cu, Fe, hardness and evaporate residues were highly negative. 5. According to ANOVA analyses, the differences in three area groups (industry, commerce/residence and agriculture) on the values of $NH_3-N$, T-N, evaporate residues, hardness, Ca, Mg, K and Fe were significant at 1% level.

Sodium chloride (NaCl) replacement with calcium chloride (CaCl₂) effect on protein solubility, proteolytic enzyme and quality characteristics of a chicken soup prepared from spent hen (SH) chicken were investigated. By means of immerse marination prior to cooking, a total of 60 skinless SH breast meat were randomly allocated into ten groups admitted to treatments with marinade solution containing sodium tripolyphosphate (STPP) and reduced percentage of NaCl with CaCl₂ at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% at 4±2℃ for 20 h. STPP was adjusted to 0.5% for all treatments and NaCl replacement at 0% was used as control. The different methods, particularly boiling at 100℃ and retorting at 121℃, 1.5 kgf/cm² for 60 minutes, were applied following marination. An upregulation of cathepsin-B and caspase-3 enzymes were a consequences from a higher percentage of CaCl₂ within meat environment. Accordingly, modified the protein solubility in particular the myofibrillar and total protein solubility. In addition, a significant increase in water holding capacity (WHC), pH value, myofibril fragmentation index (MFI), and moisture content was obtained due to salt replacement (p<0.05). Limited effect was observed for shear force value, collagen content and cooking yield. Eventually, this study implied that although protelytic enzyme and protein solubility was upregulated by the replacement of NaCl with CaCl₂ at >75%, extensive effect on texture properties was not observed. Therefore, NaCl replacement at 75% could be a promising strategy for quality improvement of SH chicken soup.

Backgrounds/Aims: While patients with borderline resectable pancreatic cancer (BRPC) are a target population for neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC), formal guidelines for neoadjuvant therapy are lacking. We assessed the perioperative and oncological outcomes in patients with BRPC undergoing NAC with FOLFIRINOX for patients undergoing upfront surgery (US). Methods: The AHPBA criteria for borderline resectability and/or a CA19-9 level > 100 µ/mL defined borderline resectable tumors retrieved from a prospectively populated institutional registry from 2007 to 2020. The primary outcome was overall survival (OS) at 1 and 3 years. A Cox Proportional Hazard model based on intention to treat was used. A receiver-operator characteristics (ROC) curve was constructed to assess the discriminatory capability of the use of CA19-9 > 100 µ/mL to predict resectability and mortality. Results: Forty BRPC patients underwent NAC, while 46 underwent US. The median OS with NAC was 19.8 months (interquartile range [IQR], 10.3-44.24) vs. 10.6 months (IQR, 6.37-17.6) with US. At 1 year, 70% of the NAC group and 41.3% of the US group survived (p = 0.008). At 3 years, 42.5 % of the NAC group and 10.9% of the US group survived (p = 0.001). NAC significantly reduced the hazard of death (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.20; 95% confidence interval, 0.07-0.54; p = 0.001). CA19-9 > 100 µ/mL showed poor discrimination in predicting mortality, but was a moderate predictor of resectability. Conclusions: We found a survival benefit of NAC with FOLFIRINOX for BRPC. Greater pre-treatment of CA19-9 and multivessel involvement on initial imaging were associated with progression of the disease following NAC.

The phase transformation, variation of secondary phase, and critical current density $(J_c) for (Bi,Pb)_2Sr_2Ca_2Cu_3O_10 (2223)$ tapes have been studied through the thermal slide heat treatment (TSHT) process. This process consists of a multiple variations of oxygen partial pressures and temperatures at the initial heat treatment During the initial heat treatment some secondary phase such as $(Ca,Sr)_2CuO_3(2/1 AEC), (Ca,Sr)_{14}Cu_{24}O_{41} (14/24 AEC), and (Bi,Pb)_2Sr_2CuO_y$(2201, amorphous phase) farm in Bi-2223 tapes, especially at the 2223 grain boundaries. These secondary phases are detrimental to the phase transformation and final properties. In order to control the secondary phase in Bi-2223 tapes the amount and size of secondary phases among the TSHT process were observed. The results indicate that the amount and particle size of AEC particles were smaller when the TSHT process was used than when the normal process at the initial heat treatment was used which results in the improved $J_c$ properties after the final process.

This study was performed to evaluate the properties of permeable polymer concrete with fly ash and CaCO3. The following conclusions are drawn. The static modulusof elasticity is in the range of 1.19 $\times$105 ~1.49$\times$105 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$, which is approximately 53 ~56% of that of the normal cement concrete. The oission's number of permeable polymer concrete is in the range of 3.95 ~6.53, which is less than that of the normal cement concrete. The dynamic modulus of elasticity is in the range of 1.29$\times$105 ~1.59$\times$105 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$, which is approximately less compared to that of the normal cement of the static modulus . Fly ash 50% and CaCO3 50% filled permeable polymer concrete has showed higher dynamic modulus. The water permeability is in therange of 3.971 ~4.393$\ell$ /$\textrm{cm}^2$/h, and it is largely dependent upon the mix design. These concrete can be used to the structures which need water permeability.

Polycrystalline Tl-1223 superconductors with a chemical composition of (Tl, Pb, Bi)TEX>$ (Sr, Ba)<_2$$Ca_2$$Cu_3$$O_{x}$ were synthesized by the solid state reaction method. The optimum chemical composition was $Tl_{0.8}$ $Pb_{0.2}$ $Bi_{0.2}$ $Sr_{1.8}$ $Ba_{0.2}$ $Ca_{2.2}$ $Cu_3$$O_{x}$ And the optimum sintering temperature and time were $905^{\circ}C$ and 7.5h, respectively. The sample was evaluated for their superconducting properties by magnetization measurement. The critical temperature $T_{c}$ is 120 K and the critical current density $J_{c}$ (T=5K, 0T) is estimated to be ∼ $10^{5}$ A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ for $Tl_{0.8}$ $Pb_{0.2}$ $Bi_{0.2}$ $Sr_{1.8}$ $Ba_{0.2}$ $Ca_{2.2}$$Cu_3$$O_{x}$ .

The significance of endometrial cells on cervicovaginal smears is underestimated. The aim of this study is to evaluate the detection rate of endometrial cells on cervicovaginal smears. The materials consisted of two groups. Group I was 701 cervicovaginal smears from patients with no gynecological problems. Group II was 208 cervicovaginal smears from patients with abnormal uterine bleeding followed by endometrial curettage; 31 cases of endometrial adenocarclnoma(CA), 19 cases of endometrial hyperplasia(HP), 83 cases of dysfunctional uterine bleeding(DUB), and 75 cases of normal endometrium. Cervicovaginal smears were reviewed according to the criteria of The Bethesda System. Endometrial cells were identified in 15 of 701 cases(2.1%) in group I and 64 of 208 cases(30.8%) in group II. Among group II, detection rate of endometrial cells was the highest in CA (51.6%) compared to HP(26.3%), DUB(41.0%), and normal endometrium(12.0%) (p<0.05). Cytologic atypia of endometrial cells was not found In group I, but was more frequently identified in CA(87.5%) than in HP(10.5%) or DUB(14.7%) (p<0.05). Exfollatlon of endometrial cells might be related to abnormal endometrial lesion, and reporting of endometrial cells in the cervicovaginal smear may increase a chance to detect endometrial lesions especially in patients with abnormal uterine bleeding.

11종의 시판 부로일러용 배합사료의 품질을 비교하기 위하여 서울대학교 농과대학에서 사료의 일반성분 및 Ca, P의 분석은 물론 572수의 스타브로계 육욕종 병아리로 8주간 사양시험을 실시하였던 바 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 부로일러 사료의 가격은 제조하는 공장에 따라 전기의 경우 공장도 가격이 kg당 41.00에서 45.00원까지, 후기의 경우 공장도 가격이 kg당 39.00원으로부터 43.20원까지, 대리점 가격은 40.20원으로부터 47.20원까지로서 상당한 차이가 있었다. 2. 부로일러 사료의 일반 성분 및 Ca, P 함량에 있어서 제조하는 공장에 따라 상당한 차이가 있었는데 전기사료의 단백질함량은 20.38$\~$23.98$\%$, 후기의 것은 17.14$\~$21.57$\%$였으며, Ca, P함량은 앞으로 개선의 여지가 많았다. 3. 부로일러 사료의 제조공장에 따라 병아리의 성장율, 사료섭취량, 사료효율 등이 현저하게 달라졌다. 대체로 최종체중은 1.74$\~$1.91kg(평균 1.82kg)이었으며 사료효율은 2.4$\~$2.6정도였다. 4. 부로일러 사료의 품질이 다르고 또한 kg당 가격이 달랐기 때문에 조수익성에 있어서도 사료에 따라 크게 달랐다. 증체나 사료효율에 미치는 영향이 비슷한 경우 사료의 가격이 싼 것을 선택하는 것이 경제적으로 유리하다는 것이 밝혀졌다. 5. 앞으로 이와 같은 유형의 시험이 주기적으로 이루어져야 사료의 품질개선을 통한 양계업자의 권익보호가 될 것으로 생각되므로 정부는 현행 사료검사제도에 생물학적 검사를 겸행하기를 건의하는 바이다.

This study has been carried out to determine the seasonal characteristics of concentration of various ionic (CI-, NO3-, SO42-, Na+, NH+, K+, Ca2+) and heavy metallic (Pb, Mn, Cu, Ni) species in Pusan from August 1997 to April 1998. The concentrations of CI-, Na+, K+ were higher during summer with 2.98 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/㎥. Seasonal variation of total concentration of but the concentration of NH4+ was higher during winter with 2.46${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/㎥. Seasonal variation of total concentration of heavy metals(Pb, Cu, Mn, Ni) were 186.0 ng/㎥ in summer, 222.6 ng/㎥ in autumn, and 135.83 ng/㎥ in winter. Over the seasons inspected, the concentration of Mn was higher in coarse particles than fine particles and concentration of Ni was higher in fine particles than coarse particles. during yellow sand period, the concentration of TSP was increased about two times than that of other period. SO42-, Ca2+ concentrations were higher than other ionic components because of soil particles. The concentration of Ni showed 94.62ng/㎥ was increased about 4~5 times than other period. Principal component of the yellow sand, SO42-, Ca2+ could be discreased by rainfall and washout effect of atmospheric aerosol was higher in coarse particles than fine particles. Results from PCA(principal component analysis) showed that major pollutant was NaCl by seasalt particulate and (NH4)2SO4.

Effects of ${AI_2O_3}/{P_2O_5}$ ratio on the crystallization of a series of glasses with the nominal composition of 41.4wt % $SiO_2$, 35.0wt % CaO, 20.6wt % (${P_2O_5}$+${AI_2O_3}$) and 3.0wt% MgO were investigated with DTA, XRD and SEM. The major crystalline phases are apatite and anorthite. The glass transition temperature ($T_g$) and the softening point ($T_s$) are shifted to the upper temperature by increasing $AI_2O_3$ content. The temperature of apatite crystallization ($T_{p1}$) is increased by $AI_2O_3$ content, but the tempera¬ture of anorthite crystallization ($T_{p2}$) is not affected significantly. With increased of $AI_2O_3$, the apatite crystallization is decreased, but anorthite crystallization is increased.
