The Houttuynia cordata has been utilized for various beneficial purposes in humans mainly because of its potent antioxidant principle quercitrin present in this plant. This study examines the possibility of producing a functional sea food commodity containing active principle quercitrin by feeding H. cordata for a extended period. Spotted sea bass (Lateolabrax maculatus) were fed a diet containing H. cordata at 0.1-1.0% levels for 1 month and tissue concentrations of quercitrin were analyzed in serum, hepatopancreas and muscle. It was observed that quercitrin was found in the ranking order of hepatopancreas>muscle>serum. After a bolus administration of quercitrin (20 mg/kg, oral) to spotted sea bass and Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), idential rank order was observed after 48 hr. In contrast, the order was liver>serum>muscle in rat and mice, indicating that higher quercitrin distribution occurs to the muscle in fishes compared with in mammals tested. High residue concentration of qeurcitrin in the edible tissue can be an advantageous property in terms of functional food production. High level H. cordata extract inclusion of 1.0% seems to have detrimental effects in spotted sea bass leading to growth retardation and hepatic damage. It was concluded that incorporation of H. cordata extract into diet can be a way of producing healthy foods. However the level of active extract needs fine tuning to avoid toxicity to fishes.

Gentamicin은 임상에서 많이 사용되는 aminoglycoside계 항생물질로서 세균의 세포막 단백질 합성을 억제하여 살균작용을 나타낸다. 최근 Gentamicin이 동물사료에 포함되거나 동물약품으로 많이 사용되어, 이를 복용한 식용가축에서의 잔류 량에 대한 인체유해성이 WHO/FAO 식품첨가물 전문가 협의회에서 논의되고 있다. Gentamicin의 육가공류의 잔류허용량 기준설정을 위한 독성 재평가의 일환으로 in vivo. in vitro 염색체이상시험을 실시하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 체외 염색체이상시험에서는 포유동물 배양세포인 chinese hamster lung cell을 배양하여 gentamicin sulfate 및 gentamicin을 최고 처리농도 5mg/$m\ell$부터 세포독성시험을 실시한 결과, 세포독성을 나타내지 않았다. 본 시험에서는 5mg/$m\ell$를 최고농도로 2.5, 1.25mg/$m\ell$의 3농도를 직접법 및 대사활성화법으로 각 농도당 2매의 플레이트씩 슬라이드를 제작, 결과를 판독한 결과, 직접법 및 대사활성화법 모두에서 전 농도 군에서 음성대조군과 같은 정도의 염색체이상을 유발하여 유전독성이 없음을 나타내었다. 2. 체내 염색체 이상시험에서는 ddY마우스를 이용하여 gentamicin sulfate의 LD$_{50}$의 1/2에 해당하는 200mg/kg을 최고농도로 gentamicin 과 gentamicin sulfate를 암수 각각 3마리씩 공비 2의 3농도로 투여한 후, 24시간째 골수세포의 염색체 표본을 제작하여 관찰한 결과, 세포독성 및 염색체 이상을 유발하지 않았다. 또한 동물약품으로 사용되는 치료용량 및 투약방법에 근거하여 10mg/kg 및 5, 2.5mg/kg을 1일 1회씩 4회 투여한 군에서도 암수에 상관없이 전 농도 군에서 염색체이상을 나타내지 않아 유전독성을 나타내지 않음을 관찰하였다.

This study was carried out to elucidate residual characteristics of environment friendly agricultural material rotenone in chilli pepper and calculate processing factors by drying. The test material was sprayed twice onto chilli peppers at an interval of seven days and then the chilli peppers were harvested at 0, 1, 3, 5 and 7 days after final spray. Limits of quantitation (LOQs) of rotenone in fresh and dried chilli peppers were 0.03 and 0.07 mg/kg, respectively. Recoveries of the test material in fresh and dried chilli peppers ranged from 89.52 to 97.86% and from 85.76 to 91.61%, respectively. As a results of residual material analysis, amounts of rotenone in fresh and dried chilli peppers ranged from 0.03 to 0.39 mg/kg and from 0.07 to 0.75 mg/kg, respectively, representing that the residual amounts of rotenone decreased time-coursely. Processing factors of rotenone in fresh chilli pepper by drying were found to be from 2.03 to 3.13, indicating that the residual concentration of rotenone in dried chilli pepper increased from two to three times by drying. However, the reduction factor of rotenone in fresh chilli pepper by drying ranged from 0.38 to 0.59, representing that some of rotenone in fresh chilli pepper disappeared during the drying process.

We have developed the bio-electrode measuring the variance of the amount of acetylcholine affected by residual pesticide. The working electrode of the biosensor was made by combination of cobalt phthalocyanine and carbon organic compounds. The biosensors were constructed by screen-printing method. The principle of working electrode is similar to thiocholine sensor. We have fabricated the biosensor using standard screen printing method. Generally, the biosensor made by printing method formed thick film biosensor. When the electrodes were made by electrochemical cells, the generation of current by the addition of enzyme substrate was inhibited by standard solutions of organo-phosphate pesticides. The detection limit of sensor is about 0.5 $\mu{g}/L$ for carbofuran. We could improve the responsibility of the sensor by controlling the cobalt phthalocyanine and thiocholine concentration ratio. Also we have tested the EPN and Chlorpyrifos pesticides and found that the biosensor is applicable to fast determination of residual pesticides.

의약품은 일반적으로 치료를 목적으로 제조되었기 때문에 독특한 약리학적 작용을 띤다. 의약품잔류물이 환경 중으로 배출되어 비표적 생물(non-target organism)에 노출될 경우 의도하지 않은 독성영향이 나타날 가능성이 있다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라에서 널리 사용되는 10개의 의약품(4종의 일반 의약품 acetaminophen, carbamazepine, diltiazem, cimetidine과 6종의 설파계 항생제 sulfamethoxazole, sulfamethazine, trimethoprim, sulfachloropyridazine, sulfadimethoxine)을 대상으로 환경중 예상잔류농도와 생태 무영향농도를 예측하여 대상의약품의 생태위해성을 평가하였다. 연구대상 의약품의 예측환경농도는 0.14 ${\sim}$ 16.5 ppb이었으며, 예측환경농도와 예측무영향농도비(PEC/PNEC ratio)를 산출한 결과 acetaminophen과 suifamethoxazole이 각각 1.8과 6.3으로 나타나 이 의약품들이 물생태계에 미치는 위해성에 대한 정밀한 추가연구의 필요성이 제시되었다.

4-Hexylresorcinol (4-HR) has been used for prevention of melanosis in shrimp. Recently, 4-HR in EU and other countries was authorized with maximum residue levels of 1~2 mg/kg but remains unauthorized in Korea. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 4-HR on melanosis inhibition and residual levels in Korean shrimp according to various concentrations and soaking times. We previously reported that the HPLC-FLD method can be used for detection of 4-HR at maximum levels of 1~2 mg/kg in shrimp. Our results show that residual levels of 4-HR in peeled and unpeeled shrimps were in the range of 0.86 to 13.46 mg/kg and 0.02 to 2.33 mg/kg, respectively. In addition, 4-HR treatment at concentrations of 10 and 20 mg/L for 72 h were effective for inhibition of melanosis in peeled shrimp compared with unpeeled shrimp. These results provide basic data for the establishment of guidelines and regulation related to 4-HR.

This study performed a trichlorfon (TCF) residue and pharmacokinetic analysis with Japanese eels, Anguilla japonica, to obtain baseline data to establish the maximum residue level (MRL) of TCF in A. japonica. After dipping A. japonica in 30 ppm and 150 ppm of TCF at 28℃ and 18℃, drug residue in the body was analyzed with LC-MS/MS, and these results were further analyzed with the PK solver program to obtain the pharmacokinetic parameters of TCF in the serum, muscles, and liver. The maximum concentrations (C_max) in the serum, muscles, and liver were 25.87-357.42, 129.91-1043.73, and 40.47-375.20, respectively, and the time to maximum concentration (T_max) was 0.13-1.32h, 1.17-3.34h, and 0.14-5.40h, respectively. The terminal elimination half-life (T_1/2) was 2.13-3.92h, 5.30-10.35h, and 0.65-13.81h, respectively. In the 30 mg/L concentration group, TCF was not detected in the serum of eels 96 hours after bathing, and was below the detection limit after 336 hours in muscle and liver. On the other hand, in the 150 mg/L concentration group, TCF was not detected in the serum of eels 336 hours after bathing, but was detected in muscle and liver at 336 hours. In conclusion, the results of this study would be useful in establishing the MRL of TCF in farmed A. japonica.
