The effects of elevated atmospheric $CO_2$ on photosynthesis and growth of Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris subsp. napus var. pekinensis) were investigated to predict productivity in highland cropping in an environment where $CO_2$ levels are increasing. Vegetative growth, based on fresh weight of the aerial part, and leaf characteristics (number, area, length, and width) of Chinese cabbage grown for 5 weeks, increased significantly under elevated $CO_2$ ($800{\mu}mol{\cdot}mol^{-1}$) compared to ambient $CO_2$ ($400{\mu}mol{\cdot}mol^{-1}$). The photosynthetic rate (A), stomatal conductance ($g_s$), and water use efficiency (WUE) increased, although the transpiration rate (E) decreased, under elevated atmospheric $CO_2$. The photosynthetic light-response parameters, the maximum photosynthetic rate ($A_{max}$) and apparent quantum yield (${\varphi}$), were higher at elevated $CO_2$ than at ambient $CO_2$, while the light compensation point ($Q_{comp}$) was lower at elevated $CO_2$. In particular, the maximum photosynthetic rate ($A_{max}$) was higher at elevated $CO_2$ by 2.2-fold than at ambient $CO_2$. However, the photosynthetic $CO_2$-response parameters such as light respiration rate ($R_p$), maximum Rubisco carboxylation efficiency ($V_{cmax}$), and $CO_2$ compensation point (CCP) were less responsive to elevated $CO_2$ relative to the light-response parameters. The photochemical efficiency parameters ($F_v/F_m$, $F_v/F_o$) of PSII were not significantly affected by elevated $CO_2$, suggesting that elevated atmospheric $CO_2$ will not reduce the photosynthetic efficiency of Chinese cabbage in highland cropping. The optimal temperature for photosynthesis shifted significantly by about $2^{\circ}C$ under elevated $CO_2$. Above the optimal temperature, the photosynthetic rate (A) decreased and the dark respiration rate ($R_d$) increased as the temperature increased. These findings indicate that future increases in $CO_2$ will favor the growth of Chinese cabbage on highland cropping, and its productivity will increase due to the increase in photosynthetic affinity for light rather than $CO_2$.

Purpose: Autopipetting system is an efficient automated equipment pipetting patient samples and reagents for rapid and accurate test. However, it can cause carryover between high concentration sample and low concentration sample. We evaluated carryover contamination of TECAN freedom Evo 100 autopipetting system. Materials and Method: We studied carryover contamination of $\alpha$-fetoprotein (AFP) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) test on TECAN freedom Evo 100 autopipetting system. Very low concentration control samples were pipetted for comparison to the contaminated very low concentration samples. Then, The contaminated very low concentration samples were pipetted following the high concentration samples were pipetted alternately. The difference of low concentration samples represents carryover. The target value to decide carryover was 1ppm (parts per million). Results: For AFP, the mean values of the uncontaminated control samples and the contaminated samples were less than 0.6 IU/mL (the l imit of detection (LoD)). Carryover did not occur even though the high concentration sample which value was 650000 IU/mL. For CEA, the values of the low concentration control samples and the contaminated samples were less than 0.2 ng/mL (LoD). Carryover did not occur even though the high concentration sample which value was 65,000 ng/mL. Conclusions: Sample carryover was not found on TECAN freedom Evo 100 autopipetting system for AFP, CEA. However, carryover is a potential problem with automated instruments and robotic pipetting systems. Therefore, Clinical laboratories must periodically verify carryover contamination for the accurate and confidential test results.

This study was to evaluate the change in characteristics of concentration of ozone after exposure to high energy radiation in linac room. Background ozone concentration of linac room was measured and compared to ozone concentration around linac room. Background ozone concentration of linac room was mean $17.4{\pm}7.9ppb$. It was 50% of the ozone concentration($36.8{\pm}22.3ppb$) around linac room(p<0.05). The concentration of ozone after exposure to high energy radiation in linac room was elevated to double of background ozone level, intensity after exposure. with exposure time concentration of ozone increased proportionally. It showed maximum level at 130~180seconds and slowed a tendency to saturate. It required more than 10 minutes for ozone concentration in linac room to drop to ozone concentration around linac room. The concentration of ozone after exposure to high energy radiation is high enough to cause specific physical symptoms, such as acute dyspnea or chest pain due to dry cough. Exposure to high concentration of ozone in sealed linac room can aggravate pulmonary disease, so special attention is needed.

이소플라본은 대두와 대두가공제품에 들어있으며 화학적으로 두가지 형태 즉 아글리콘(aglycone)과 배당체(glucoside)로 존재한다. 본 논문은 사람에게 대두의 이소플라본이 흡수되는데 아글리콘과 배당체가 차이가 있는지를 연구하였다. 이소플라본을 저농도(0.11mmol)로 1회 투여했을 때 아글리콘형은 섭취 2시간 후에 혈장의 이소플라본 농도가 최고치에 도달하였으며 배당체형은 섭취 4시간 후에 최고치에 도달하였다: 이때 피험자는 4명의 남성(41세)과 4명의 여성(45세) 이었다. 또한 8명의 피험자〔남성 4명(40세), 여성 4명(47세)〕를 대상으로 고농도(1.7mmol) 이소플라본을 1회 섭취시킨 후 혈장의 이소플라본 농도 변화를 비교하였으며, 아글리콘 섭취 후 혈장 이소플라본의 최고 농도는 배당체로 섭취한 경우보다 5배가 높았다. 저농도와 고농도의 두 실험에서 모두, 제니스테인과 다이드제인의 섭취수준은 유사함에도 불구하고 혈장의 제니스테인의 농도가 다이드제인보다 유의적으로 높았다. 또한 8명의 남성(45세)을 대상으로 4주간의 장기간 이소플라본(0.30mmol/ 일)을 섭취시킨 후 혈장의 이소플라본 농도를 측정하였다. 2주와 4주째에 혈장내 농도는 배당체형보다 아글리콘 섭취 후에 100% 이상 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이소플라본 아글리콘은 배당체보다 사람에게 더 빠르고 더 많은 량이 흡수되었다. 이소플라본 아글리콘이 풍부한 제품은 이소플라본 배당체가 풍부한 제품보다 관상 심장질환 등 만성질환 예방에 더 효과적일 수 있을 것이다.

Diffusion dialysis is a membrane process driven by concentration difference using ion-exchange membranes and has been employed for many years for the acid recovery from acidic waste generated in steel, metal-refining and dectro-plating industries. Theoretically acid flux increases in propomon to the acid concentration difference. At acid concentrations higher than 3 N HCl, however, the acid flux had not increased linearly with the concentration difference. In this paper the effects of acid concentrations on diffusion dialysis for hydrochloric acid recovery and the acid transport mechanism in an anion exchange membrane were studied by membrane sorption tests and diffusion clialysis cell tests. The experimental results showed that the molecular diffusion was a major transport mechanism in a low acid concentration range and the proton leakage through an anion exchange membrane played an important role at higher acid concentrations. Also osmotic water transport and membrane dehydration retarded the transport of protons and caused the permeate flux to decrease.

In this study, we isolated 179 bacterial strains using benzene, phenol, ethylbenzene, aniline, cumene, toluene as growth substrate from TCE contaminated soils and wastewaters. All the 179 strains were screened for TCE (30 mg/L) removal (growth substrate 0.2 g/L, $30^{\circ}C$, pH 7, cell biomass 1.0 g/L (w/v)) under aerobic condition for 21 days. EK2 strain using aniline showed the highest removal efficiency (74.4%) for TCE degradation. This strain was identified as Delftia acidovorans as the results of API kit, 16S rDNA sequence and fatty acid assay. In the batch culture, D. acidovorans EK2 showed the bio-degradation for TCE in the various TCE concentration (10 mg/L to 200 mg/L). However, D. acidovorans EK2 did not show the bio-degradation in the TCE 250 mg/L. D. acidovorans EK2 also show the removal efficiency (99.9%) for 12 days in the low concentration (1.0 mg/L). Optimal conditions to degrade TCE 200 mg/L were cell biomass 1.0 g/L (w/v), aniline 0.5 g/L, pH 7 and $30^{\circ}C$. Removal efficiency and removal rate by D. acidovorans EK2 strain was 71.0% and 94.7 nmol/h for 21 days under optimal conditions. Conclusion, we expect that D. acidovorans EK2 may contribute on the biological treatment in the contaminated soil or industrio us wastewater.

Effects of hemoglobin (Hgb) concentration and degree of hydrolysis (DH) of Hgb on the separation of heme-iron were examined to produce highly enriched heme-iron from Hgb hydrolysate. Separation efficiency of Hgb hydrolysate with different DH was studied at wide pH range (pH $1.0{\sim}11.0$). Separation efficiency expressed as heme-iron/peptide ratio increased with decreasing Hgb concentration. When 5% Hgb (pH 10.0) was hydrolyzed using commercially available Esperase for 5 h at $50^{\circ}C$, DH was 25%. The precipitation of heme-iron-enriched peptides were remarkably high at pH range $3{\sim}6$. Optimal pH range for heme-iron with high heme-iron/peptide ratio shifted to acidic pH with increasing DHs of Hgb. The enriched heme-iron fraction in the precipitates showed a single band through urea-SDS-PAGE, with a molecular mass of 1 kDa. In the dry heme-iron product produced in a pilot bioreactor, content of heme-iron and heme-iron/peptide ratio were 27.1 and 38.7%, respectively, and production yield was 9.3%.

발암물질의 조기검색법을 개발하고자 변이원성 물질의 스크리닝법으로 널리 사용되고 있는 Ames test 및 chromosomal aberration test를 본 연구에서 개발하고자 하는 DNA 및 Protein-adduct 형성시험법과 비교 연구하였다. 벤조피렌과 아플라톡신 B$_1$을 모델 발암물질로 하여 실시한 Ames test에서는 두 화합물 모두 양성을 나타냈으나 용량-반응 관계가 뚜렷하지 않았다. 또한 고농도에서는 시험물질의 독성체 의해 정상적인 Ames test의 수행이 어려됐다. Chromosomal aberration test에서도 Ames test와 비슷한 결과를 나타냈으며 특히 고농도에서 시험을 실시했을 경우 Ames test에서와 마찬가지로 세포독성의 현상이 관찰되었다. 그러나 본 연구에서 새로이 개발한 DNA 및 Protein-adduct형성 시험법은 저농도에서 고농도에 이르기까지 뚜렷한 용량-반응 관계를 나타냈으며 Ames test 및 chromosomal test에서 일어날 수 있는 false positive나 false negative의 결과를 가져다 줄 우려가 없다. 또한 시험시간이 1-2시간 정도 소요되므로 기존의 방법보다 시험시간을 약 40배 가량 단축시킬 수 있었다.

낮은 수심, 저 유속의 수로 자갈층에 형성된 생물막을 이용하여 오염물질을 제거하는 박층류 자연정화기법의 효율적인 설계와 운영지침을 얻기 위하여 경기도 용인시 오산천 일부 구간에 현장적용을 위한 Test-bed를 조성하여 박층류 자연정화수로에서의 오염물질 제거 효율을 조사하였다. 오염물질은 녹조발생의 주요 원인물질인 인과 질소를 대상으로 하였고, 연구 조건은 일반적인 하천수에서의 오염 조건과 비점오염원으로부터 오염물질이 유입된 오염조건의 두 가지 조건을 가정하여 제거효율을 분석하였다. 분석 결과 모든 조건에서 박층류 수로를 통과할 때 오염물질의 농도가 감소함을 확인할 수 있었다. 특히 T-P 3 mg/L 이상, T-N 20 mg/L 이상의 고농도의 오염물질 유입시에 박층류 자연정화수로는 평상시보다 높은 60% 이상의 높은 제거 효율을 보였는데, 이를 통하여 박층류 자연정화기법이 고농도의 오염물질 제거에서도 제한적이지 않고 오히려 더 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.
