본 연구는 실제 유류오염토양을 in situ 토양세정법으로 정화시 기술 적용성을 평가하기 위한 회분식 기초연구로 적정 계면활성제의 종류와 농도를 결정하고자 하였다. 증류수만의 진탕효과로 인한 TPH 제거는 약 30%이었으며, 계면활성제 희석시 사용되는 용액으로는 증류수를 사용한 경우에 비하여 지하수(해수 혼합)의 유입으로 인하여 약 2~6%의 효율저하가 나타났다. 토양과 계면활성제 용액비는 회분식 실험에서 TPH 제거효율에 미치는 영향이 미미하였다. 단독 또는 혼합 계면활성제 농도를 0.1~4.0 wt%까지 변화시켜 세정한 결과 종류별로는 Tween-80, SWA-1503, SWA-1503+SDS에서 평균 제거율이 80% 이상으로 대체적으로 높은 효율을 보였으며, 농도에 따른 차이는 크지 않아 0.1 wt% 농도를 최적 농도로 판단하였다.

팽이버섯의 선도유지를 위한 적정 포장방법을 구명하기 위하여 팽이버섯의 호흡특성과 필름두께에 따른 기체조성을 사전 조사한 다음 현행 포장방법인 일반필름포장(PM)과 진공포장(VM), 그리고 $CO_2$ 25%와 50%, $O_2$ 10%와 20%를 각각 혼합하여 충전한 가스포장(AM)을 $1^{\circ}C$에서 12일 동안 저장하면서 선도유지특성을 비교하였다. 팽이버섯의 호흡 속도는 $0^{\circ}C$에서 $26.4\;mL{\cdot}CO_2/kg/hr$, $10^{\circ}C$ $80.0\;mL{\cdot}CO_2/kg/hr$, $20^{\circ}C$에서 $130.9\;mL{\cdot}CO_2/kg/hr$, $30^{\circ}C$에서 $173.5 \;mL{\cdot}CO_2/kg/hr$로 조사되었으며, 기체투과율이 좋은 LDPE 필름을 사용할 경우 40 및 $60{\mu}m$ 보다 $20{\mu}m$의 두께가 저장 12일까지도 생육최저산소농도를 훨씬 상회하는 안정된 상태를 나타내었다. 따라서 팽이버섯을 $20{\mu}m$의 LDPE 필름에 상기 각각의 포장방법을 적용하여 저장한 결과 AM에서는 고농도의 $CO_2$에 의한 호흡율 억제효과가 있었으며 진공포장을 제외한 모든 포장방법에서 저장 종료시점(12일)까지도 혐기적 호흡의 발생우려는 없었다. 중량감소율과 표면색은 $O_2$가 없는 VM에서 가장 억제되었으나 산소함유 포장방법 중에서는 50:10($%CO_2:%O_2$)의 AM이 가장 우수한 억제력을 나타내었다. 그러나 VM은 저장 2일경 심한 이취발생으로, PM은 저장 5일 경 높은 자루의 신장율로 상품성을 소실한 반면 AM의 여러 가스조성 중 50:10의 비율이 저장 12일 동안 이취, 변색 및 곰팡이 발생 등이 발생하지 않으면서 상품성을 유지하는 효과가 가장 높게 나타났다.

The present study was set to evaluate the effect of pomegranate extracts on improvement of the menopausal syndromes such as face flushing in ovariectomized rats by carrying out short- and long-term experiments. Pomegranate extracts used to feed rats were prepared from the pulp part which does not contain the rid of the pomegranate, and were dissolved in propylene glycol. From the short-term (16 days) experiment, it was clear that when the 25, 250, 1,250 mg/kg/day concentrations of pomegranate extracts were orally fed to ovariectomized rats, the body temperature of the rats in all the 3 groups were decreased with statistical significance compared to other control groups which were fed with propylene glycol only. Especially, the body temperature decreased by $2.7^{\circ}C$ compared to control groups even when the pomegranate extracts were fed at the low concentration of 25 mg/kg/day implying the usefulness of pomegranate extracts in improving face flushing troubles. In addition, the body weight of the groups fed with pomegranate extracts also decreased when compared to groups fed with only propylene glycol, and the results were also statistically significant. In case of the estradiol level in the blood of rats, the levels were somewhat higher in the groups fed with pomegranate extracts than the control groups, even though the difference was not statistically significant. As found from the results of the short-term experiment, in long-term experiment, the groups fed with pomegranate extracts showed statistically significant decrease in the body temperature and the body weight, whereas the increase of the estradiol levels in blood in each groups were statistically insignificant. During the short- and long-term experiments, no sign of toxicity was found in rats fed with pomegranate extracts indicating no toxic side effects of the pomegranate extracts when orally fed. The concentrations of pomegranate extracts 25, 250, 1250 mg/kg/day treated to ovariectomized rats in this study can be estimated to be 1.5, 15, and 75 g/day when treated to women whose body weight is 60 kg which is average for women with menopausal syndromes. Since even the 75 g/day of high concentration of pomegranate extracts did not show any toxicity in short- and long-term experiments, taking 1.5 g/day concentration of pomegranate extracts would be safe dose for not causing any side effects. Therefore, it can be concluded from the results of this study that taking 1.5 g/day of pomegranate extracts for certain period time will improve the menopausal syndromes including face flushing.

파일럿 규모의 유리화플랜트에서 일련의 시험을 통해 고온 세라믹 캔들 필터 시스템의 주요 운전 변수 및 성능을 평가하였다. 실증 시험결과 매 시험초기에는 필터 표면 먼지층(Dust cake)의 생성으로 인해 필터 매질에 걸리는 차압이 급격히 상승하였다. 그런 다음 차압은 곧 일정한 범위에서 안정되었고, 표면유속(Face velocity)에 비례하여 계속적으로 변화하였다. 이와 반대로, 필터 투과율(Permeability)은 매시험 초기에 급격히 감소하였다. 필터표면 먼지의 역세정은 공기압 3～5 bar범위 일때 효율적이었다. 필터 입구 및 출구에서 동시에 등속으로 채취한 먼지농도를 바탕으로 필터의 먼지 포집율(Dust collection efficiency)을 평가한 결과 필터 성능은 설계값인 99.9%과 같은 것으로 나타났다. 100시간의 장기시험을 포함한 일련의 실증시험을 수행하는 동안 고온 필터 시스템의 성능에 영향을 주는 특별한 문제점은 발견되지 않았다.

현장비원위치(Ex-situ) 공법 적용이 불가능한 부지에서, 디젤로 오염된 오염 토양과 지하수를 동시에 복원하기 위하여 과산화수소를 이용한 현장원위치 화학적 산화법(chemical oxidation)과 공기분사법(air-sparging)을 연계한 복합 복원 공정의 정화 효율 규명을 위한 실내 실험을 실시하였다. TPH 농도가 2,401 mg/kg(A 토양)과 9,551 mg/kg(B 토양)인 두 종류의 현장 오염 토양을 대상으로 과산화수소용액을 이용한 화학적 산화법의 디젤 제거 효율 규명을 위한 배치(회분식) 실험 결과, 과산화수소 50% 용액에 의해 토양 초기 TPH 농도의 18%와 15%까지 감소하였다. 과산화수소 용액 20%를 이용한 칼럼 세정 실험 결과, 세정에 의해서 A 토양과 B 토양의 경우 각각 초기 TPH 양의 78%와 72%가 제거되었다. 칼럼 실험에서 과산화수소의 산화반응에 의해 완전 분해되어 무기가스상(주로 $CO_2$과 $H_2O$)으로 제거된 양까지 고려한다면, 과산화수소용액이 오염 토양과 접촉하면서 충분한 산화과정을 거쳐 대부분의 유류가 토양으로부터 제거되었음을 알 수 있었다. 공기분사법을 이용한 디젤 오염 지하수 정화 실험의 경우, TPH 농도가 820 mg/L인 고농도의 인공 지하수 경우에도 공기분사 72시간 이내에 폐수배출허용기준인 5 mg/L 보다 낮아져, 디젤 제거 효율이 매우 높은 것으로 나타났다. 다만, 오염 토양 내 다량의 디젤 자유상이 존재하는 경우 토양으로부터 지하수로의 지속적인 자유상 디젤의 질량 이동에 의하여, 공기분사법의 지하수 정화 효율은 매우 낮았다. 마지막으로, 과산화수소를 이용한 현장원위치 화학적 산화법과 공기분사법을 연계한 복합 공정의 디젤 정화 효율을 규명하는 박스 실험을 실시하였다. 토양 내 자유상 디젤을 먼저 제거하기 위해 과산화수소 용액을 이용한 토양세정법을 실시한 후, 토양 내 TPH가 제거 되는 정도에 따라 후차적으로 공기분사법을 적용함으로써 토양 및 지하수로부터 디젤을 효과적으로 제거할 수 있었다. 20% 과산화수소 용액의 23 L 세정과 2,160 L의 공기분사에 의해 토양의 TPH 농도는 9,551 mg/kg에서 390 mg/kg으로 낮아졌으며, 오염 지하수의 TPH 농도도 5 mg/L 이하로 낮출 수 있었다. 본 실험들에서 얻어진 결과를 바탕으로 실제 현장에서 대단위 공정을 운영하는데 필요한 복원 공정의 최적 조건들을 도출해 낼 수 있으리라 판단되며, 유류로 오염된 토양 뿐 아니라 오염 지하수까지 동시에 정화할 수 있는 복합 공정 개발을 위한 중요한 기술 자료로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Gaseous pollutants in Namsan Nos. 1, 2, and 3 tunnels and Pukak tunnel were measured along the road by an air-monitoring van from the evening of February 9 to the morning of February 12 in 1993. Average concentrations of pollutants in Namsan tunnels were 9.2-13.5 ppm CO and 0.037-0.047 ppm SO$_{2}$. Average concentrations of SO$_{2}$ in Pukak tunnel was 0.79 ppm, higher than those in Namsan tunnels, due to the traffic of heavy-duty buses and trucks. The pollutant concentrations in Namsan tunnesl could be explained by emission of passenger cars using unleaded gasolin and LPG taxies. Average concentration of NO$_{x}$ in Namsan tunnels was at least 1.1 ppm, estimated from the emission factor of pasenger cars using unleaded gasoline. Pollutant concentrations in Namsan No. 3 tunnel were higher at the exit because of the piston action of air mass in the tunnel provided by the traffic. Fans installed at Namsan and Pukak tunnes could be useful, but their flushing action of ambient air in the tunnel was not clearly observed.d.

This study was aimed to characterize osteogenic potential of rat bone marrow stromal cells (BMSC) isolated with standard flushing method and investigate the plasticity of transdifferentiation between osteoblastic and adipocytic lineage of cultured BMSC. Unlike aspiration method in human, rat bone marrow was extracted by means of irrigation with culture media that elevates the possibility of co-extraction of committed osteoprogenitor, or preosteoblast or other progenitor cells of several types present inside bone marrow. The cultured stromal cells showed high ALP activity which is representative marker of osteoblast without any treatment. Osteogenic inducers such as Dex and BMP-2 were examined for the evaluation of their effect on osteogenic and adipocytic differentiation of stromal cells, because they function as osteoinductive agent in stromal cells, but simultaneously induce adipogenic differentiation. Osteogenic differentiation was evaluated by measuring alkaline phosphatase activity or mRNA expression of osteoblast markers such as osteopontin, bone sialoprotein, collagen type I and CbfaI, and in vitro matrix mineralization by von Kossa staining. Oil red staining method was used to detect adipocyte and adipocytic marker, aP2 and $PPAR{\gamma}2$ expression was examined using RT-PCR. It can be supposed that irrigation procedure resulted in high portion of already differentiation-committed osteoprogenitor cell showing elevated ALP activity and strong mineralization only under the supplement of $100{\mu}M$ ascorbic 2-phosphate and 10mM ${\beta}$-glycerophosphate without any treatment of osteogenic inducers such as Dex and BMP-2. Dex and BMP-2 seemed to transdifferentiate osteoprogenitor cells having high ALP activity into adipocytes temporarily, but continuous treatment redifferentiated into osteoblast and developed in vitro matrix mineralization. This property must be considered either in tissue engineering for bone regeneration, or in research of characterization of osteogenic differentiation, with rat BMSC isolated by the standard irrigation method.

Escherichia cole NZN111, which is known as a pfl ldhA double mutant strin, was metabolically engineered to produce succinic acid by overexpressing malic enzyme into the E. coli controlled by a trc promoter. Fermentation studies were carried out in a LB medium by first growing cells aerobically to an $OD_{600}$ of 5. At this point, 0.01 mM IPTG was added to induce the overexpression of malic enzyme and the agitation speed was gradually lowered. When the culture $OD_{600}$ reached 11, a complete anaerobic condition was achieved by flushing with a $CO_3-H_2$ gas mixture. When NZN111(pTrcML) was cultured at $37^{\circ}C$, the final succinic acid concentration of 2.8 g/l could be obtained after 30 h of anaerobic cultivation. The fermentation results were analyzed by the calculation of metabolic fluxes. Metaolic flux analysis showed that about 85% of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) was converted to pyruvate, and further converted to malic acid by malic enzyme.

A great volume of radioactive concrete is generated during the operation and the decommissioning of nuclear facilities. The washing-electrokinetic technology in this study, which combined an electrokinetic method and a washing method, was developed to decontaminate the concrete generated in nuclear facilities. The results of only an electrokinetic decontamination for the concrete showed that cobalt was removed to below 1% from the concrete due to its high pH. Therefore, the washing-electrokinetic technology was applied to lower the pH of the concrete. Namely, when the concrete was washed with 3 M of hydrochloric acid for 4 hours (0.17 day), the $CaCO_3$ in the concrete was decomposed into $CO_2$ and the pH of the concrete was reduced to 3.7, and the cobalt and cesium in the concrete were removed by up to 85.0% and 76.3% respectively. Next, when the washed concrete was decontaminated by the electrokinetic method with 0.01M of acetic acid in the 1L electrokinetic equipment for 14.83 days, the cobalt and the cesium in the concrete were both removed by up to 99.7% and 99.6% respectively. The removal efficiencies of the cobalt and cesium by 0.01M of acetic acid were increased more than those by 0.05M of acetic acid due to the increase of the concrete zeta potential. The total effluent volume generated from the washing-electrokinetic decontamination was 11.55L (7.2ml/g).

The long term goal of this research is to develop an efficient procedure for large scale production of genetically identical or cloned animals. To improve nuclear transpalntation efficiency in the rabbit, this study evaluated the age of nuclear recipient oocytes on the different steps of nuclear transplantation. The ovulated oocytes in different ages were collected from the superovulated does by flushing oviducts with Dulbecco's phosphate buffered saline(D-PBS) supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum(FCS) from 13 to 15, 17 to 20 and 23 to 26 hours after hCG injection. The denuded oocytes were used as nuclear recipient cytoplasm following enucleation by micromanipulation. The blastomeres separated from the 8-cell embryos were used as nuclear donor. The enucleated oocytes receiving a blastomere in the perivitteline space were fused in the 0.28 M mannitol solution at 1.5 kV/cm, 60 sec for three times. The fused oocytes were co-cultured with the monolayered rabbit oviductal epithelial cells in TGM-199 solution with 10% FCS for 72 hours at 37$^{\circ}C$ in a 5% $CO_2$ incubator. The cultured nuclear transplant embryos and in vivo developed embryos collected at 72 hours after hCG injection were stained with Hoechst 33342 dye. Their cell numbers were counted under a fluorescent microscope. The results obtained were summarized as follows ; 1. The aged oocytes(20 hrs. post hCG) showed significantly(P<0.05) higher fusionrates(70 ~ 90%) than the recently ovulated oocytes(30.8%) 2. The aged oocytes which were electrically activated and fused at 20 hours developed to blastocyst at significantly(P<0.05) high rate, while none of the recently ovulated oocytes developed to blastocyst. 3. Even though the aged oocytes at 23~26 hours showed higher fusion rate(85.7%), not only they were inadequate to manipulate but also their developmental potential to blastocyst was highly impaired. 4. The developmental potential in vitro of nuclear transplant embryos was significantly retarded than in vivo deveolped embryos.
