In order to investigate the behavior of particulate carbon and benzo(a)pyrene(B(a)P) in the ambient air, suspended particle matters were collected from April, 1990 to February, 1992, and total carbon(TC), organic carbon(OC), elemental carbon(EC) and B(a)P were measured by an elemental analyzer and a HPLC. The results were as follows the average concentration of TC was 38.6 $\mug/m^3$ and its concentration was higher in winter(45.4 $\mug/m^3$) and fa11(44.3 $\mug/m^3$) than in summer(36.8 $\mug/m^3$) and spring(28.9 $\mug/m^3$). The monthly concentration trends both of EC and OC was similar, but seasonal variation of EC concentrations was larger than that of OC. The average concentration of B (a)P was 2.2 ng/m$^3$, and was higher in winter(4.1 ng/m$^3$) and fall(3.2 ng/m$^3$) than in spring(1.2 ng/m$^3$) and summer(0.6 ng/m$^3$). The seasonal behavior of carbon and B(a)P was to similar except for summer. The correlation coefficient(r) between EC and B(a)P was 0.71, and the correlation coefficient(r) between OC and B(a)P was 0.66.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of different yarn twisting methods on physical properties. Plain single jersey structured fabrics were knitted from Kevlar yarn, and from Kevlar/HPPE, and from Kevlar/Basalt fiber, and from Kevlar/Glass fiber and Kevlar/Stainless steel fiber blended and core-spun yarns. and then, The fabrics were coated NBR Latex. The physical properties, including tear strength, modulus, degree of penetration, heat resistance, and cut resistance of the knitted fabrics were investigated and compared. Kevlar/HPPE blended yarn fabrics recorded the highest heat resistance (13 Sec.). and Kevlar/HPPE blended yarn fabrics had good cut resistance (Cut Level 4).

An investigation was carried out to evaluate the effects of pebble size on the small-scale sewage treatment apparatus by natural purification method that consisted of aerobic and anaerobic plot. pH and EC in both plots varied minimally regardless of pebble size. DO in aerobic plot increased as the pebble size decreased. That in the anaerobic plot was slightly less in comparison with that of the aerobic plot but varied minimally, $2.4{\sim}5.1\;mg/L$ regardless of pebble size. Under all experimental conditions, removals of BOD, COD and turbidity in anaerobic plot were more than 98, 91 and 98, 98% respectively. Removals of T-N and T-P increased as pebble size decreased. Under all experimental conditions, removals of T-N and T-P in anaerobic plot were about $45{\sim}59$ and $480{\sim}96%$, respectively. Judging from the above results, it should be considered that the optimum pebble size and pebble permeability in both plot was $2{\sim}4$ and $0.1{\sim}4\;mm$, respectively.

The measurement of pathologically low levels of tissue $pO_2$ is an important diagnostic goal for determining the prognosis of many clinically important diseases including cardiovascular insufficiency, stroke and cancer. The target tissues nowaday have mostly been tumors or the myocardium, with less attention centered on the brain. Radiolabelled nitroimidazole or derivatives may be useful in identifying the hypoxic cells in cerebrovascular disease or traumatic brain injury, and hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. In acute stroke, the target of therapy is the severely hypoxic but salvageable tissue. $^{18}F-MISO$ PET and $^{99}mTc-EC-metronidazole$ SPECT in patients with acute ischemic stroke identified hypoxic tissues and ischemic penumbra, and predicted its outcome. A study using $^{123}I-IAZA$ in patient with closed head injury detected the hypoxic tissues after head injury. Up till now these radiopharmaceuticals have drawbacks due to its relatively low concentration with hypoxic tissues associated with/without low blood-brain barrier permeability and the necessity to wait a long time to achieve acceptable target to background ratios for imaging in acute ischemic stroke. It is needed to develop new hypoxic marker exhibiting more rapid localization in the hypoxic region in the brain. And then, the hypoxic brain imaging with imidazoles or non-imidazoles may be very useful in detecting the hypoxic tissues, determining therapeutic strategies and developing therapeutic drugs in several neurological disease, especially, in acute ischemic stroke.

Lipocortin 1 has been proposed as a putative mediator of anti-inflammatory actions of glucocorticoids. We investigated the role of lipocortin 1 in the effect of dexamethasone using rat splenic leukocytes. Concanavalin A(ConA; 1 ${\mu}g/ml$) increased the leukocyte proliferation and nitric oxide(NO) generation, which were measured as $[^3H]-thymidine$ uptake by the cells and nitrite accumulation in the culture media, respectively. Dexamethasone suppressed ConA-induced cell proliferation, in a concentration-dependent manner with $EC_{50}$ around 50nM. The addition of anti-lipocortin l(Anti-LCl) reversed dexamethasone effects: 0.24, 1.2, 6 ${\mu}g/ml$ of Anti-LC1 reversed dexamethasone(50 nM)-induced suppression of thymidine uptake by $9{\pm}3%$, $16{\pm}3%$, $36{\pm}5%$, respectively; 0.24, 1.2, and 6 ${\mu}g/ml$ of Anti-LCI reversed dexa-methasone-induced decrease of nitrite concentration by $49{\pm}16%$, $61{\pm}20%$, $77{\pm}19%$, respectively. The present data indicate that lipocortin 1 mediates, at least in part, glucocorticoids-induced suppression of leukocyte proliferation and blockade of NO generation.

확산형 시료 채취기와 직독식 기기(공정시험법, Nitrogen Oxides Analyzer Model; EC 9841, Ecotech, Australia)에 의한 $NO_2$, 농도를 비교하고, 능동시료채취기(공정시험법)와 확산형포집기에 의한 HCHO(포름알데히드) 농도를 비교하기 위해 서울 ${\cdot}$ 경기 또는 대전, 충남 ${\cdot}$ 북지역에 소재한 11개 시설(종합병원 4곳, 노인 병원 1곳, 보건소 1곳, 복지관 3곳, 보육시설 2곳)을 대상으로 수행하였다. 1. 포름알데히드의능동 포집법(공정시험법)에 의한 시료(n=87)의 평균농도는 $11.44{\pm}11.07ppb$이고, 확산형 시료 채취기 의한 시료(n=40)의 평균농도는 $11.91{\pm}7.37ppb$으로 비슷한 값이 나왔고, 통계적으로 유의하지 않았다(p=0.806). 2. 포름알데히드 능동 포집법에 의한 농도와 확산형 시료 채취기에 의한 농도와의 상관계수 r=0.404(p=0.037)로 나타나 이 두 가지의 방법은 특정시간 포름알데히드 측정에 사용하여도 어느 정도 비교하기에는 적합할 것으로 생각된다. 3. 이산화질소의 노출정도는 직독식 기기(공정시험방법)와 확산형 시료 채취기로 각각 1시간 (오전, 오후 각각 2회), 8시간 측정하였다. 공정시험방법(n=61)에 의한 1시간-시료 평균농도는$44.48{\pm}37.96ppb$이고, 확산형 시료 채취기(n=61)에 의한 1시간-시료 평균농도는 $3.58{\pm}2.07ppb$으로 통계적으로 유의하였다(p=0.000). 직독식 기기(n=61)에 의한 8시간-시료 평균농도는 $34.85{\pm}22.83ppb$이고, 확산형 시료 채취기(n=61)에 의한 8시간-시료 평균농도 $8.32{\pm}4.44ppb$으로 통계적으로도 유의하였다(p=0.000). 4. 이산화질소를 직독식 기기(공정시험방법)와 확산형 시료 채취기로 측정한 1시간-시료 농도의 상관계수 r=0.253(p=0.268)이고 8시간-시료 일 때 상관계수 r=0.367(p=0.102)로 나타나 확산형 시료 채취기를 직독식 기기(공정시험방법) 대체 사용방법으로 이용하기에는 적합하지 않다고 생각된다.
