1. Objectives: Yeolda-Hanso tang (YH) has long been used as traditional herbal formula in Korea as various diseases. Now we modified Yeolda-Hanso tang (YH) for neurodegenerative diseases treatment and named New-Yeolda-Hanso tang (NYH). We investigated neuroprotective effects of NYH on NGF-differentiated PC12 cells cytotoxicity induced by $\beta$-Amyloid peptide (A$\beta$25-35) and evaluated the ability of NYH to prevent and treat for neurodegenerative diseases via autophagy enhancement. 2. Methods and Results: 1) Protective effect of NYH on PC12 cells cytotoxity induced by A$\beta$25-35. PC12 cells survival was measured by MTT and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) assay. $20{\mu}M$ $\beta$-Amyloid peptide (A$\beta$25-35) induced cytotoxicity on NGF-differentiated PC12 cells. NYH attenuated the cytotoxic effects of A$\beta$25-35 in a dose-dependent manner. 2) Pharmacological induction of Autophagy by NYH in PC12 cells Autophagy induction and activation was measured by immunoblot assay. Marker of autophagy, LC3 II expression and the ratio of LC3-II/I was slightly increased in the protein treated with YH, and significantly augmented in the protein treated with NYH. NYH-induced increase of LC3-II protein level was inhibited by 3MA. 3) Induction of Autophagy by NYH on A$\beta$25-35-induced injury in PC12 cells In MTT assay, $100{\mu}g/ml$ re-treated NYH attenuated $20{\mu}M$ A$\beta$25-35-induced cytotoxicity in PC12 cells. Protection effect of NYH was blocked by autophagy inhibitor 3MA. In immunoblot assay, $1200{\mu}g/ml$ pre-treated NYH activated autophagy in $20{\mu}M$ A$\beta$25-35-induced cytotoxicity in PC12 cells. The observed effect was partially blocked by 3MA. 3. Conclusions: All the results indicated that NYH possesses neuroprotective potential partially mediated by autophagy enhancement and NYH may be considered to be a promising new herbal formula to prevent and treat for neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Purpose: This study was conducted to identify factors influencing endoscopy nurses' protective behavior against radiation exposure. Methods: Data were collected using self-report questionnaires from 122 endoscopy nurses in 21 hospitals located in Seoul, Gyeonggi province and six metropolitan cities in Korea. Collected data were analyzed using SPSS 18.0 program and included multiple regression analysis. Results: 1) There were significant relationships between protective behavior and protective environment (r=.74, p<.001), number of education sessions on radiation protection (r=.32, p<.001), number of protective devices (r=.28, p=.002), number of fellow nurses (r=.27, p=.003), and protective attitude (r=.18, p=.048). 2) Protective environment (${\beta}=0.79$, p<.001), type of hospital foundation (${\beta}=0.18$, p=.011) and marital status (${\beta}=-0.13$, p=.040) significantly predicted endoscopy nurses' protective behavior against radiation exposure (adjusted R square=.58, p<.001). The most powerful predictor for protective behavior against radiation exposure was a protective environment. Conclusion: Effective protective behavior of endoscopy nurses from radiation exposure requires improvement in their protective environment. Hospital administrators and managers should make efforts to increase protective facilities in endoscopy departments and provide endoscopy nurses with regular education on radiation protection.

전자포획 핵종인 $^{133}Ba$ 용액의 방사능 측정이 ${\beta}-{\gamma}$ 동시계수 방법에 의하여 수행되었다. $4{\pi}$ 비례계수기와 두개의 NaI(Tl) 섬광검출기를 사용하여 베타, 감마 및 동시계수 채널에서 계수율을 측정하였다. 효율외삽법으로 산출된 용액의 비 방사능은 기준시간(1984년 3월 15일 0시, UT)에 대하여 $(1151.01{\pm})2.99)\;kBq{\cdot}g^{-1}$이었다. 국제도량형국이 주관한 방사능 측정의 국제비교에 의하면, 이 결과는 그 비교에서 얻어진 평균값에 대하여 약 0.84%의 차이를 나타냈다.

외삽형 전리함을 사용하여 $^{90}Sr+^{90}Y(1.65mCi)$ 베타선원에 대해 교정점 30cm 거리에서 조직표면의 흡수선량을 측정하였다. 이때 흡수선량 측정에 영향을 주는 유효단면적, 입사창 감쇠율, 극성효과, 이온 재결합을 등의 보정인자를 분석하였다. 이들 인자를 보정한 후의 조직표면의 흡수선량은 $1.493{\mu}Gy/sec({\pm}2.9%)$로 평가되었다.

Given a sequence ｛ $X_{n}$｝ of independent and identically distributed random variables with F, a sequential procedure for the p-th quantile ξ$_{P}$= $F^{-1}$ (P), 0$\beta$-protection. Some asymptotic properties for the proposed procedure and of an involved stopping time are proved: asymptotic consistency, asymptotic efficiency and asymptotic normality. From one of the results an effect of smoothing based on kernel functions is discussed. The results are also extended to the contaminated case.e.e.

베타선 스펙트럼의 최대 에너지가 확실하게 구별되는 2개의 핵종만을 포함하는 혼합시료의 경우에는 최대 에너지가 다르다는 점을 이용하여 손쉽게 각 핵종의 방사능 값을 측정할 수 있다. 그러나 3개 이상의 베타 방출 핵종이 포함된 혼합물에 대해서는 각 핵종의 스펙트럼이 서로 겹치기 때문에 이러한 방법으로 구해진 방사능 값은 신뢰도가 떨어지게 된다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 최소자승법을 이용하여 혼합물의 중첩된 베타선 스펙트럼을 각각 분리 정량분석 할 수 있는 방법을 제시하였다. 또한, 실제로 4개의 베타 방출 핵종($^3H,\;^{14}C,\;^{36}Cl\;^{90}Sr$)이 혼합된 시료를 조제하여 본 분석법을 검증한 결과 참고치(Reference value)와 분석치가 7% 이내에서 잘 일치함을 보였다.

The impact of storage on the neuroprotective effects against $A\beta$-induced cell death and physicochemical characteristics of milk fortified with BF-7 were investigated. The BF-7 milk exerted protection of neuronal cells SK-N-SH from amyloid beta ($A\beta$)-induced neuronal stress. Our results showed that incubation of the cell with pretreated BF-7 milk, significantly attenuated apoptotic stress by $A\beta$, considered in cell morphology and nucleus shape. The general compositions were maintained consistently in BF-7 fortified milk (BF-7 milk). The BF-7 did not make any disturbance on pH and titratable acidity. The color change was not detected, either. Also, any microorganism had not been detected with more than 7 days storage at $4^{\circ}C$. In sensory evaluation study. the average scores of each sensory attribute were quite similar with plain milk. In conclusion, our results strongly indicate that BF-7 characteristics are quite adequate to be included in milk and BF-7 milk is still working well on neuro-protection, result in enforcing our brain and delaying neurodegeneration.

A phytoremediation study has been conducted to see if some known aquatic plants can remove the pesticides, endosulfan-${\alpha},\;{\beta}$ and fenitrothion which are frequently used in the crop protection and golf course management, and are likely to exist as residual pollutants in the aquatic ecosystems. Among the five aquatic plants tested in the microcosms, water lily Nymphaea tetragona Georgi showed the highest degradation efficacies (85~95%) for the three pesticides as opposed to the control(13~26%). The efficacies for the other plants were in the range of 46~80% in the order of Pistia stratiotes, Cyperus helferi, Eichhornia crassipes, and Iris pseudoacorus. Fenitrothion, an organo-phosphorus pesticide, was much more vulnerable to the phytoremediation than the organo-chlorine pesticides, endosulfan-${\alpha}$ and endosulfan-${\beta}$. The kinetic rate constants ($min^{-1}$) for removal of the three pesticides were more than 10 times higher than the control (non-planting) in case of Nymphaea tetragona Georgi. This aquatic plant showed kinetic rate constants about 2 times as much as the lower kinetic rate constants shown by Iris pseudoacorus. The reason for the highest degradation efficacy of water lily would be that the plant can live in the sediment and possess roots and broad leaves which could absorb or accumulate and degrade more pollutants in association with microbes. These results indicate that some of the selected aquatic plants planted near the agricultural lands and wetlands could contribute to remediation of pesticides present in these places, and could be applicable to protection of the aquatic ecosystems.
