The volatile compounds of Myungtae (Alaska pollack) sikhae obtained by simultaneous steam distillation and extraction(SDE) apparatus were separated by gas chromatography(GC) and gas chromatography mass spectrometry(GC/MS). The totals of 155 volatile flavor components was identified in traditional Kyungsangdo Myungtae (Alaska pollack) sikhae, respectively. ${\alpha}$-Zingihirene(11.03%) (E)-di-2-propenyl disulfide(7.95%) ${\beta}$-cironellol(6.02%), methyl allyl disulfide(3.58%), cryptone(3.39%), camphene(3.23%), pentanol(3.21%), penadecanal(2.66%) and ${\beta}$-phellandrene(2.06%) were contained as the main compounds of Myungtae shikae. The fraction obtained from sikhae were tested for electron donating ability, angiotensin converting enzyme and xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity. There was no electron donating abilities$(SC_{50})$ of hexane and water fraction. On the other hand, the abilities of ethylacetate fraction and butanol fraction showed $310.64\;{\mu}g/mL,\;1096.49\;{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitory activities$(IC_{50})$ of ethylacetate fraction and butanol fraction were 1.623 mg/mL, 1.303 mg/mL, respectively. Xanthine oxidase inhibitory activities$(IC_{50})$ of ethylacetate fraction and butanol fraction were 3.591 mg/mL, 2.083 mg/mL, respectively.

The degradation of a fungicide, $^{14}C$-propiconazole, in sterile and nonsterile soil from different depths was investigated. $^{14}C$-propiconazole plus propiconazole standard was treated on the soil at the rate of 7.55 mg/kg and the soil was incubated at $25^{\circ}C$ for 20 weeks. The amounts of $^{14}CO_{2}$ solvent extractable and non-extractable $^{14}C$, and degradation products of $^{14}C$-propiconazole were investigated during incubation time. The relative amounts of $^{14}CO_{2}$ released in the sterile and nonsterile soils were ranging from 0.7 to 1.3% and from 4.8 to 7.6% of applied $^{14}C$, repectively. The amounts of solvent non-extractable residues in the sterile and nonsterile soils were ranging from 11.2 to 22.1% and from 22.2 to 41.9% of of applied $^{14}C$, repectively. The amounts of solvent non-extractable residues were increased with incubation time and most of $^{14}C$ were detected in the humin fraction. The hydroxylated and ketone compound were confirmed as a degradation products of propiconazole by GC/MS analysis, whereas parent compound was detected in sterile soil, which suggested that propiconazole was not degraded biologically under the sterile soil. From the results of volatilization, mineralization and degradation of propiconazole, propiconazole was stable chemically and bilogically in soil.

A cross sectional study was performed to evaluate the neurobehavioral effects of chronic exposure of complex organic solvents, using NCTB(Neurobehavioral Core Test Battery) recommended by WHO(World Health Organization). Forty female shoe factory workers and twenty-two controls matched with age were participated. The tests were performed in the morning before start of work, to exclude the effects of acute exposure. Workers were exposed mainly to toluene, methyl ethyl ketone, n-hexane, cyclo-hexane, dichloroethylene, trichloroethylene, benzene, xylenes etc. The ranges of present solvent exposure of hygienic effect were $0.46\sim0.71$ in the process using adhesives indirectly, and $1.83\sim2.39$ in the process using it directly. We reclassified the subjects, according to cumulative exposure. It showed significantly poorer performances in high exposed group on Santa Ana Dexterity and Benton Visual Retention, compared with control group. After controlling confounder, the significances were still remained. But, further cohort studies, having the information of personal exposure dose from entering a factory, are required to clarify the effects of chronic exposure of complex organic solvents in relation to dose and duration of exposure.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate concentrations of carbonyl compounds during summer season in Seoul metropolitan area. The air samples were collected at 7 sites in this area from June 2001 to June 2003. The carbonyl compounds were analyzed by DNPH/HPLC method. The analytical method applied in this study showed good repeatability, linearity, and sensitivity. The most abundant carbonyl was formaldehyde (average 4.48 ppb), and followed by acetone, acetaldehyde, methyl ethyl ketone, butyraldehyde, propionaldehyde and benzaldehyde, respectively. Concentrations of carbonyl compounds in June were higher than those in August. There was not only higher solar radiation but also higher ozone concentration in June than in August. As a result o photochemical reactions, carbonyl compounds from both primary and secondary sources are likely to contribute to the formation of ozone. The contributions to photochemical ozone creation of two carbonyl compounds such as formaldehyde and acetaldehyde were estimated to be about 70%. Ratios of formaldehyde to acetaldehyde in this study ranged from 1.13 to 4.26, which are generally equivalent levels to those of other urban areas in domestic and foreign countries.

We determined the toxicity of mixtures of ethyl acetate (EA), isopropyl alcohol (IPA), methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), toluene (TOL) and xylene (XYL) with half-maximal effective concentration ($EC_{50}$) values obtained using human hepatocytes cells. According to these data, quantitative property-activity relationships (QPAR) models were successfully proposed to predict the toxicity of mixtures by multiple linear regressions (MLR). The leave-one-out cross validation method was used to find the best subsets of descriptors in the learning methods. Significant differences in physico-chemical properties such as boiling point (BP), specific gravity (SG), Reid vapor pressure (rVP) and flash point (FP) were observed between the single substances and the mixtures. The $EC_{50}$ of the mixture of EA and IPA was significantly lower than that of contained TOL and XYL. The mixture toxicity was related to the mixing ratio of MEK, TOL and XYL (MLR equation $EC_{50}=3.3081-2.5018{\times}TOL-3.2595{\times}XYL-12.6596{\times}MEK{\times}XYL$), as well as to BP, SG, VP and FP (MLR equation $EC_{50}=1.3424+6.2250{\times}FP-7.1198{\times}SG{\times}FP-0.03013{\times}rVP{\times}FP$). These results suggest that QPAR-based models could accurately predict the toxicity of polar and nonpolar mixtures used in rotogravure printing industries.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the stability of Dicofol solutions which were prepared with various organic solvents such as xylene, toluene, methylisobutyl ketone (M.I.B.K.), cyclohexanone, N.N.-dimetyl formamide (N.N.-D.M.F.) and isophorone under different temperature and storage period. The decomposition rate of Dicofol was increased in the order of cyclohexanone> N.N.-D.M.F.>W.P.>toluene, xylene, M.I.B.K. and isophorone. However, it was shown that precipitation was found in Dicofol solutions such as xylene, toluene and M.I..B.K. except isophorone. Therefore, isophorone was recognized as the best of organic solvents tested for Dicofol in the case of emulsifiable concentrate formulation with it.

본 연구에서는 별도의 소결과정 없이 상온에서 치밀한 복합체 후막의 제조가 가능한 Aerosol Deposition Method (ADM)를 이용하여 SOP를 실현시키기 위한 기판 재료로서 알루미나 기반의 알루미나-폴리이미드 복합체를 제조하고 그 특성에 대한 평가를 진행하였다. SEM 관찰결과 기공이 거의 없고 치밀한 구조의 복합체가 상온에서 성공적으로 형성되었음이 확인되었다. XRD 와 FT-IR 분석 결과 알루미나와 폴리이미드 모두가 복합체에 존재함을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 XRD 분석결과 출발 원료에 폴리이미드 함량이 증가할수록 ADM으로 제조된 복합체 내부의 알루미나의 결정자 크기가 증가하는 결과를 보였다. 복합체의 알루미나 충진율을 확인하기 위한 간접적인 방법으로 복합체 후막을 연마하여 복합체 내부를 노출시킨 후 폴리이미드의 용매인 Methyl Ethyl Ketone으로 폴리이미드를 식각시켜 남아있는 알루미나 영역을 관찰한 SEM 분석결과 알루미나가 60% 이상 복합체의 대부분을 이루고 있다는 사실을 관찰할 수 있었다. 복합체의 미세구조를 확인하기 위하여 TEM 분석결과 기존에 보고된 ADM으로 제조된 알루미나 후막의 결정자 크기인 10~20 nm 보다 큰 100 nm 범위의 결정자 크기를 관찰 할 수 있었다. 유전특성평가 결과 유전율과 tan$\delta$는 1 MHz에서 각각 9.0, 0.0072로서 알루미나만을 원료로 성막시킨 후막의 유전 특성을 크게 떨어뜨리지 않으며 알루미나 후막과 유사한 결과를 보였다. 추후 복합체의 균일성 향상 및 고주파 영역의 유전 특성 향상을 통하여 세라믹의 취성 및 가공성이 개선된 3 차원 적층 기판재료로의 응용이 기대될 것으로 전망된다.

This work aims to develop a dry lubricant for oilless bush, especially a solid lubricant, thereby creating a coating method with improved properties of anti-friction and load-carrying capacity without oil lubrication. In this work, spherical-shaped powders of thermosetting resin such as polyimide (PI) are mixed with a binder matrix obtained by mixing a fluorocarbon compound resin such as Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or Ethylene tetra fluoro ethylene (ETFE) with itself or with a non-fluorocarbon thermoplastic resin such as Polyether ether ketone (PEEK). And these dry lubricant mixtures are thickly coated (200-300 mm in the thickness) on the inner surface of the bush by using a wet-typed air-spray deposition method. It was found that the load-carrying capacity of the solid lubricant for excavator bush (60 mm in diameter) that operates under a high load condition (at 40 MPa) is greatly improved owing to the spherical-shaped powders of thermosetting resin. In addition, the coefficient of friction at the sliding surface is also reduced less than 0.1. Thick coating also lowers the contact stress at the edge of a bush that results in better tribological performances. The result suggests that the lubrication performance and durability life of the bush can be remarkably improved even without lubrication (oil or grease).

Inhibition of advanced glycation end product (AGE) formation is a valuable therapeutic strategy for the regulation of diabetic complications. This study was conducted to identify potential therapeutic targets of anti-diabetic complications from irradiated mangiferin using AGE formation assay. Radiolytic degradation of the xanthone glucoside mangiferin by gamma-irradiation resulted in three degraded mangiferin analogues: mangiferdiol (1), mangiferinol (2), and isomangiferinol (3). Structures of the three newly generated compounds were characterized by interpretation of nuclear magnetic resonance ($^1H$, $^{13}C$ NMR, $^1H-^1H$ COSY, HSQC, HMBC, and NOESY) and mass spectroscopic data. The anti-diabetic complication of the generated mangiferin derivatives were tested using in vitro AGE formation method. Among the tested degraded products, mangiferinol (2) and isomangiferinol (3) exhibited significantly improved potency against AGE formation inhibitory activities with $IC_{50}$ values of $5.6{\pm}0.8$ and $7.6{\pm}0.9{\mu}M$, respectively. This result implies that xanthone derivatives generated from gamma-irradiated mangiferin might be beneficial for prevention of diabetic complication and related diseases.
