The antigenicity of EPO (erythropoietin) was investigated in guinea pig, mice and rats. Antigenicity tests-active systemic anaphylaxis (ASA), passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) of this materials were performed according to the established Regulation of Korean National Institute of Safety Research (1996, 4, 16). The results were followed: 1. After sensitizaion with EPO emulsified with complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA), guinea pigs didn't show any anaphylatic shock symptom in the ASA test 2. After sensitization with antisera of EPO sensitized mice, blue spots were observed on the hypodermis of back of rats in the PCA test, but diameter of each spot was smaller than 5 mm. From the results of this investigation, the antigenicity of EPO was negative under the present experimental condition.

Four-week toxicity of EPO(erythropoietin) was investigated using New Zealand White rabbits according to the established regulations of Korean National Institute of Safety Research. Rabbits were administered intravenously seven days per week for 28 days with dosage of 0, 80, 400 and 2000IU/kg B. W./day. Animals administered with EPO showed no significant changes of body weight, water consumption and feed consumption, and no clinical signs and death. They were not significantly different from the control group in hematological and serum biochemical analysis, urinalysis, prothrombin time, and partial thromboplastin time. In this study, we concluded that EPO had no toxic effect in the New Zealand White rabbits when they were administered intravenously below 2000IU/ kg B.W./ day for 28 days.

Acute toxicity of EPO(Erythropoietin) was investigated using rats and beagle dogs according to Established Regulation of Korean National Institute of Safety Research (1994. 4. 14). Rats and beagle dogs were injected intravenously with dosages of 20000 IU/kg, 2000 IU/kg, 200 IU/kg, 20 IU/kg and 2 IU/kg. In animals injected with EPO, there were neither dead animals nor significant changes of body weights. In addition, no differences were found between control and treated groups in clinical signs and autopsy findings. Therefore $LD_50$ of EPO was considered to be higher than 20000 IU/ kg B. W. in rats and beagle dogs.

Group of 40 male and 40 female Sprague-Dawley rats were given daily intravenous injections of different dosage of Erythropoietin (EPO), 80 IU/ kg/day (low dosage group), 400 IU/ kg/day (middle dosage group), or 2000 IU /kg/day (high dosage group)for 4 weeks by tail vein according to Established Regulation of Korean National Institute of Safety Research (1994. 4. 14). Appearance, behavior, mortality, and food consumption of rats of treated groups were not affected during the experimental periods. No significant EPO (erythropoietin)-related changes were found in urinalysts, eye examination, hematology, serum chemistry, and organ weight. No histopathological lesions were observed in both control and treatment groups. Our results strongly suggest that no toxic changes were found in rat treated intravenously with EPO (erythropoietin)for 4 weeks.

SDK (skin decontamination kit) is new skin decontaminant which is developed by ADD (Agency for defence development). In this study, four-week toxicity of SDK was investigated using beagle dogs and Sprague-Dawley rats. The beagle dogs and Sprague-Dawley rats were dressed topically seven days per week for 28 days, with dosage of 0, 0.25, 0.8 and 1 g/kg/day. respectively. Animals treated with SDK did not cause any death and show any clinical signs. They did not show any significant changes of body weight, feed uptake and water consumption. They were not significantly different from the control group in urinalysis, ocular examination and histopathological examination. In hematological and serum biochemical assay, there were no-dose-defendent changes. Therefore, SDK was not indicated to have any toxic effect in the beagle dogs and Sprague-Dawley rats when it was dressed topically below the dosage 1 g/kg/day for four weeks.

In order to evaluate the mutagenic potential of SDK(skin decontamination kit) produced by Agency for Defense Development(ADD), were performed Salmonella typhimurium reversion assay, chromosomal aberration test on chinese hamster ovarian cells and in vivo micronucleus assay using mouse bone marrow cells according to the established regulation of Korean Food and Drug Administration. In the reverse mutation test using Salmonella typhimurium TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537 did not in-crease the number of revertant at any of the concentration tested in this study. SDK did not increase the number of cells having structural or numerical chromosome aberration in cytogenetic test. In mouse micronucleus test, no significant increase in the occurrence oj micro nucleated polychromatic erythrocytes were observed in ICR male mice intraperitoneally administered with SDK. These results indicate that SDK has no mutagenic effects under these experimental conditions.

This study was performed to evaluate the acute toxicity of DA-3030(granulocyte-colony stimulating factor, G-CSF) in mice and rats via intragastrical and intravenous routes. DA-3030(G-CSF) in the acute toxicity study did not induce any toxic signs in the mice and rats in mortalities, clinical findings, body weights and gross findings. It is suggested that LD$_{50}$ values in mice and rats would be >13, 800 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg in the oral route and >6, 900 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg in the intravenous route.e.

미국 메사추세츠 북중부에 산출되는 데본기 리틀톤층(Littleton Formation)의 남정석-십자석-석류석대에서 채취한 석류석 반상변정의 화학적 누대구조는 여러 번의 성장 단계를 경험했음을 보여준다. 석류석 반상변정들은 비대칭적이고 불규칙적인 Mn, Mg, Ca의 누대구조를 보인다. 조직대 경계부에서 석류석 성분들은 단면선에 따라 그 형태가 다르게 나타나고, $X_{Mn}$ 과 Fe/(Fe+Mg)비의 역전 누대구조는 석류석내의 내부엽리의 발달과 밀접한 관계를 보여준다. 이런 관찰 사항들은 석류석 누대구조가 석류석을 형성/소모시키는 반응뿐만 아니라, 용해작용과 침전작용과 관련된 기존의 미세구조에 의해 변화되었음을 의미한다. 화학적 그리고 조직적 잘림구조의 관계 그리고 저자가 제안한 석류석 성장모델은 석류석 누대구조가 엽리의 발달 동안 전단 응력대에서 일어나는 선택적 용해작용과 압축 운동대에서 발생하는 침전작용에 의해 조절되었음을 지시한다.

Staurolite grains in staurolite, kyanite and sillimanite zones occurred in the Littleton Formation, Northcentral Massachusetts have interpreted to form by Barrovian-type metamorphism during Acadian orogeny. However, various occurrence of staurolite in the three zones, (a) porphyroblast, (b) randomly oriented and coarse-grained muscovite pseudomorph after staurolite, (c) recrystallized staurolite at the margin of garnet porphyroblast and within the pseudomorph, indicates that they have resulted from polymetamorphism. Staurolite in these three metamorphic zones can be formed by demise of chlorite or chloritoid that depends on difference of bulk-rock compositions and changes of P-T conditions. Staurolite modal proportion calculated in MnNCKFHASH system using THERMOCALC program reveals that staurolite could have grown with garnet with increasing pressure and temperature, if it coexist with chlorite. After demise of chlorite and appearance of biotite, staurolite mode decrease with increasing pressure and temperature. Therefore, based on the previous P-T paths for the Acadian metamorhism, staurolite porphyroblast grew with garnet during 400-370 Ma. Randomly oriented and coarse-grained muscovite pseudomorphs after staurolite probably have grown due to heating with appearance of kyanite and sillimanite. Consequently, pseudomorphisrn of staurolite occurred by heating derived from locally intense Alleghanian shearing (ca. 320-300 Ma) overprinted the Acadian metamorphism. Recrystallized fine-grained staurolite in sillimanite zone observed between the grain boundaries of muscovite in the pseudomorphs and at the edge of garnet porphyrobasts has formed during decreasing temperature and pressure (ca. 300-280 Ma) after peak temperature (ca. $700^{\circ}C$) of the Allegllanian metamorphism.

석류석은 변성 온도와 압력을 계산하는 지온지압계에 널리 사용되며, 또한 이들 내부엽리와 외부엽리와의 접촉 관계를 이용하여 상대적인 변형작용의 시기를 밝히는 데 이용되어져 왔다. 석류석 반상변정 내의 내부 엽리 조직에 대한 정량적인 해석과 내부 미세 구조와 화학적 누대구조와의 관계에 대한 접근 방법은 석류석이 형성되는 동안에 온도-압력-변형작용의 진화 과정을 보다 정량적으로 해석할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 절대 연령 자료와 결합은 조산 운동 동안 발생하는 다변성/다변형 작용의 특징 보여주는 온도-압력-변형-시간 경로를 규명할 수 있다. 미국 메사추세츠 주 북중부 지역에서 십자석, 남정석과 함께 산출되는 석류석 반상변정은 온도-압력이 증가(540-570 $^{\circ}C$, 4.0-5.0 kbar에서 620-637 $^{\circ}C$, 7.9-8.8 kbar 까지) 하면서 성장하였다. 또한 이와 같은 변성작용 동안 압축 변형 방향은 다음과 같은 순서로, NE-SW, NW-SE, N-S 그 다음 E-W 방향으로 변화하였다. 결론적으로 이와 같은 변성작용과 변형작용은 주로 고생대 중기 데본기 동안에 일어났던 아카디안 조산운동으로 특징 지워 지며, 후기 알레게니안 조산운동에 부분적으로 영향을 받은 것으로 판단한다.
