This study performed a series of analyses to examine the effects of regular exercise on depression using data from the HAS (Hallym Aging Study) and the KLoSA(Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing). The effect of regular exercise on depression was tested through propensity score matching methods. In addition, analyses of five indirect effect models were performed to verify a theoretical description about how regular exercise has an effect on depression. The results of analysis were as follows. First, it was found in the two samples that elderly people who exercise regularly have a lower level of depression compared to those who do not. Second, the results of analysis of five indirect effect models were all significant. The psycho-physiological models showed the effect of regular exercise on depression using ADL(Activities of Daily Living) and grip strength. The psycho-social models also demonstrated the effect of regular exercise on depression using variables related to social activities. Based on these findings, intervention strategies to prevent depression was discussed.

This study was conducted to estimate the effects of residual chlorine dioxide ($CIO_2$) in chlorinated seawater on survival and physiological responses (hematocrit: Ht, hemoglobin: Hb, serum electrolyte and glucose levels, and osmolality) of olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus. All the flounders were exposed for 10 min to different concentrations of residual $CIO_2$ just after chlorination for 1 min in each experimental aquarium (EA). ClO$_2$-free seawater was continuously supplied to each EA after 10 min exposure to $CIO_2$. By means of probit analysis, the median lethal times (LT$_{50}$, min) of flounder exposed to 0.43 and 0.51 ppm $CIO_2$, were at 103 and 32 min, respectively. In the range from 0.34 to 0.51 ppm $CIO_2$, the values of Ht, Hb, electrolytes and osmolality of fish exposed to $CIO_2$ were significantly elevated as elapsed time and residual concentrations of $CIO_2$ increased after chlorination. The levels of Ht, Hb, electrolytes and osmolality in flounder exposed to 0.27 ppm $CIO_2$ were not significantly different compared to control fish, which were maintained in $CIO_2$-free seawater; however, the levels of serum glucose were significantly increased with elapse times.

Evidence suggests that dietary indole, particularly rich in cruciferous vegetables, may reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Endosulfan is a residual organochlorine pesticide, which is detected in fruits, vegetables, and crops. In this study, we investigated the effect of luminal indole on endosulfan transport in the small intestine in mesenteric lymph duct-cannulated rats. The duodenum was also cannulated and a fasting phosphate buffered saline-glucose solution was infused overnight at 3 mL/hr. After recovery, a lipid emulsion containing [2,3-$^{14}C$] endosulfan ($^{14}C$-endosulfan) was infused into the duodenum for 8 hours. The tested rats were infused with the same lipid emulsion, but with indole. Samples from the lymph-fistula were collected hourly, and the luminal contents and mucosa were collected at the end of the infusion. The lymph flow in the mesenteric lymph did not differ between the two groups. However, the intestinal absorption of both endosulfan and cholesterol were significantly decreased by indole. The amount of radioactive endosulfan, which remained in the mucosa, was greater in the indole-infused rats due to the decreased transport of endosulfan into the lymph. This study indicates that the indole decreases the intestinal transport of endosulfan into the mesenteric lymph.

This study was conducted to investigate the level of PCBs and distribution of PCB congeners in the ambient air of Korea and Japan. The source of PCBs were also studied by a statistical method. The TEQ concentration of PCB in the ambient air of Korea and Japan were between 0.003 and $1.01\;pgTEQ/m^3$(mean value : $0.22\;pgTEQ/m^3$) and between 0.002 and $0.014\;pgTEQ/m^3$ (mean value: $0.007\;pgTEQ/m^3$), respectively. The ambient air of industrial area of Korea showed a fluctuation in PCB concentration than other sampling area. The isomer distribution patterns in the ambient air was more or less similar in all sampling places. In addition, highly chlorinated homologues ($7{\sim}10CB$) were detected in the only Korea industrial area. This observation suggests that there is a possibility of specific source of PCBs in the industrial area. The source identification of PCB in ambient air was performed using multivariate statistical analysis(principal component analysis). As a result, it is estimated that the Korean ambient air was more influenced by combustion process than the ambient air of Japan and also the effect of PCB commercial products was relatively a small.

The rates of reaction between 4-substituted-2,6-dinitrochlorobenzenes with para-substituted anilines in methanol-acetonitrile mixtures were measured by conductometry. It was observed that the rate constant increases in the order of X = 4-$NO_2 {\gg}4-CN {\gg}4- CF_3$, where X is a substituent in the substrate. The rate constant also increases in the order of Y = p-O$CH_3{\gg}p- CH_3{\gg}H {\gg}p-Cl{\gg}m- NO_2$, where Y is a substituent in the aniline ring. Kinetic studies in the methanol-acetonitrile solvent system with various nucleophiles showed that the N-C bond forming step is making a great contribution to the overall second order rate constant. The electrophilic catalysis by methanol probably consists of the hydrogen bonding between alcoholic hydrogen and leaving chloride in the transition state. The nucleophilic catalysis by methanol may be ascribed to the formation of hydrogen bonds between alcoholic oxygen and hydrogens of amines in the transition state. All these experimental facts are supporting the operation of $S_N$Ar machanism with the second step being the rate determining. This mechanism can be successfully fitted to the PES model.

Detection limit as well as calibration curves on organophosphorus pesticide(dimethoate, diazinon, parathion-methyl, fenitrothion, malathion) and BHCs were measured for evaluation of utility on qualitative or quantitative analysis of pesticides with ion Trap mass spectrometer and quadrupole mass spectrometer. As ionization source, EI and CI were adopted for qualitative analysis of pesticides by comparison of each fragmentation pattern. At the same time, the utility as trace analysis techniques through scan or selected ion monitoring(SIM) mode was evaluated. With ion trap for all pesticides, detection limit(DL, 1 ${\mu}L$ injection) on scan mode was ranged 0.008∼0.225 ng at signal to noise ratio 3. With quadrupole DL on scan mode was ranged 0.23∼3.1 ng over 0.032∼0.68 ng on SIM mode. The calibration curve with ion trap generated good linearity over 0.99 as correlation coefficient. As clean up procedure, Bio Beads S-X3 was used for the separation of oils from five organophosphorous pesticides in flour extractant showing more than 80% as recovery at most cases. In case of BHCs in jinseng with Florisil column, the recovery of pesticides has been 60% to 90%.

High spin iron(II) complexes of 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (cyclam), a macrocyclic ligand, and 1,5,8,12-tetraazadodecane (3,2,3-tet), a noncyclic ligand, have been prepared. The reaction of low spin $[Fe(cyclam)(CH_3CN)_2](ClO_4)_2$ with chloride ion in methanol produces high-spin $[Fe(cyclam)Cl]ClO_4$. Although $[Fe(cyclam)(CH_3CN)_2](ClO_4)_2$ is low spin, $[Fe(3,2,3-tet)(CH_3CN)_2](ClO_4)_2$ isolated in the present study is high spin. This difference is explained in terms of the smaller constrictive effect exerted by the noncyclic ligand than the cyclic ligand. The isolation of $[Fe(cyclam)Cl]ClO_4$ provides evidences against the current view that the presence of either unsaturation or substituents on the macrocyclic ligands is necessary for the successful preparation of high spin five-coordinate iron (II) complexes. Reactions of $[Fe(cyclam)Cl]ClO_4\;and\;[Fe(3,2,3-tet)(CH_3CN)_2](ClO_4)_2$ with carbon monoxide yield low spin six-coordinate $[Fe(cyclam)Cl(CO)]ClO_4\;and\;[Fe(3.2,3-tet)(CH_3CN)(CO)](ClO_4)_2$, respectively.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of pre-treated sub-ingredients and deodorization materials on the smell intensity of Kimchi during fermentation.Among the various sub-ingredients of Kimchi, garlic, ginger and green onion have comparatively strong smell. The smell intensities of the sub-ingredients, which were pre-treated with various patented methods were examined using the sensory evaluation method and AromaScan. The results showed that the good methods to reduce the smell of sub-ingredients were hot air drying and soaking with heating treatment. The pH, titratable acidity and the number of microorganism of Kimchi prepared with pre-treated sub-ingredients were not different among samples during fermentation. The smell intensity of the Kimchi with pre-treated sub-ingredients was weaker than that of control until ten fermentation days, but the smell intensity after 10 days of fermentation was not different among samples. The addition of ${\alpha}-cyclodextrin\;and\;{\beta}-cyclodextrin$, which are known to have deodorization effect, at a level of 0.1% respectively, to Kimchi resulted in no difference in the pH, titratable acidity and smell intensity during fermentation at $10^{\circ}C$ compared to those of control Kimchi. However, the addition of deodorizer reduced sulfide classes such as methyl allyl sulfide, dimethyl disulfide, allyl sulfide, methyl propyl disulfide up to 50%.

This study was performed under four operational conditions for nitrogen removal in metal finishing wastewater. The conditions include electrode gap, reducing agent, the recycling of treated wastewater in 1st step and the simultaneous treatment of nitrate and other materials. Result showed that the removal efficiency of $NO_3{^-}-N$ was highest at the electrode gap of 10 mm. As the electrode gap was shorter than 10 mm, the removal efficiency of $NO_3{^-}-N$ decreased due to increasing in concentration polarization on electrode. And, in case that the electrode gap was longer than 10 mm, the removal efficiency of $NO_3{^-}-N$ increased with an increase in energy consumption. Because hydrogen ions are consumed when nitrate is reduced, reducing reaction of nitrate was effected more in acid solution. As 1.2 excess amount of zinc was injected, the removal efficiency of $NO_3{^-}-N$ increased due to increasing in amount of reaction with nitrate. As the effluent from 1st step in the reactor was recycled into the 1st step, the removal efficiency of $NO_3{^-}-N$ increased. Because the zinc were detached from the cathode and concentration-polarization was decreased due to formation of turbulence in the reactor. The presence of $NH_4{^+}-N$ did not affect the removal efficiency of $NO_3{^-}-N$ but the addition of heavy metal decreased the removal efficiency of $NO_3{^-}-N$. As chlorine is enough in wastewater, the simultaneous treatment of nitrate and ammonia nitrogen may be possible. The problem that heavy metal decrease the removal efficiency of $NO_3{^-}-N$ may be solved by increasing current density or using front step of electrochemical process for heavy metal removal.
