Objectives: Potential environmental risks caused by chemicals that could be released from a recycled plastic product were assessed using a screening risk assessment procedure for chemicals in recycled products. Methods: Plastic slope protection blocks manufactured from recycled plastics were chosen as model recycled products. Ecological risks caused by four model chemicals - di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), diisononyl phthalate (DINP), cadmium (Cd), and lead (Pb)-were assessed. Two exposure models were built for soil below the block and a hypothetic stream receiving runoff water. Based on the predicted no-effect concentrations for the selected chemicals and exposure scenarios, the allowable leaching rates from and the allowable contents in the recycled plastic blocks were also derived. Results: Environmental risks posed by slope protection blocks were much higher in the soil compartment than in the hypothetic stream. The allowable concentrations in leachate were $1.0{\times}10^{-4}$, $1.2{\times}10^{-5}$, $9.5{\times}10^{-3}$, and $5.3{\times}10^{-3}mg/L$ for DEHP, DINP, Cd, and Pb, respectively. The allowable contents in the recycled products were $5.2{\times}10^{-3}$, $6.0{\times}10^{-4}$, $5.0{\times}10^{-1}$, and $2.7{\times}10^{-1}mg/kg$ for DEHP, DINP, Cd, and Pb, respectively. Conclusions: A systematic ecological risk assessment approach for slope protection blocks would be useful for regulatory decisions for setting the allowable emission rates of chemical contaminants, although the method needs refinement.

본 논문에서는 화재 모델 CFAST를 사용하여 원자력발전소에 있는 8개 펌프실의 화재 안전 수준을 평가해 보고, 그 결과를 조건부 노심손상확률에 반영하여 분석해 보았다. 분석 대상 구역은 원자력발전소 일차보조건물에 위치한 고압안전주입 펌프실 A/B,저압안전주입 펌프실 A/B, 격납건물 살수 펌프실 A/B 및 모터구동 보조급수 펌프실 A/B 총 8곳이었다. 각 화재구역의 상부층 가스 온도를 분석하였으며, 분석 결과를 바탕으로 상부층에 위치한 케이블의 손상 유무를 파악하였다. 분석 결과에 의하면 총 8개 화재구역의 상부층 케이블은 건전성을 유지하는 것으로 확인되었다. 케이블의 건전성 평가 결과를 바탕으로 각 화재구역의 조건부 노심손상확률을 평가한 결과, 기존의 보수적인 가정 하에 수행된 화재위험도분석 결과보다 약 2배정도 감소하는 보다 현실적이고 불확실성이 감소한 결과를 도출할 수 있었다.

When a ship is damaged and flooded, the motion of the damaged ship is significantly influenced by the flooding water dynamics. The flooding water in the damaged ship has been treated as a lumped mass under the quasi-static assumption in most of previous researches. To calculate the motion of damaged ship rigorously, it is necessary to analyze the coupled dynamics of flooding water. In this study, a series of numerical and experimental studies is conducted for the damaged part of ITTC RORO passenger. FLOW3D is used for investigating the feasibility of the state of the art CFD technique. An applicability of the coupled motion analysis of damaged ships can be confirmed by agreement between the numerical results and the model experiments. A CFD technique is considered for the numerical modeling of the dynamics of flooding water.

The purpose of this study was to determine pharmacokinetic parameters and tissue distribution patters of urinary trypsin inhibitor(UTI) in Sprague-Dawley rats. $Na^{125}$I was conjugated to UTI to make $^{125}I-UTI$ and the concentrations were determined by $\gamma$-counter. With the aid of nonlinear least-square regression analysis for i.v bolus injection of 1,000 unit UTI including $^{125}I-UTI$, the temporal concentration curves were best fitted by 2-compartment open model. The distribution phase half-life was 0.39$\pm$0.02 hours whereas the elimination half-life was 12.99$\pm$1.05 hours in male rats. The volume of distribution and total body clearance in male rats were 0.28$\pm$0.01 1/kg and 83.16$\pm$1.15 ml/kg/h, respectively. We could not find any difference of pharmacokinetic parameters of UTI between male and female rats. UTI were distributed widely in rat organs. In both male and female rats, the kidney was the highest distributed organ. Amount of UTI in 24 hour cumulative urine in male rats was 36.22$\pm$8.74% and that in 48 hours was 43.32$\pm$10.55%. Excretion via feces was very scanty, with the 24 hours cumulative amount being only 2.76$\pm$0.97%. This data suggest the main excretion route of UTI is urine.

The skin permeation and the skin primary irritation of two UV filters from caprylic capryl triglyceride (oil), oil in water (O/W) and water in oil (W/O) emulsions, were evaluated. We selected octyl moth-oxycinnamate (OMC) broadly used in cosmetics and polymeric sunscreen agent (PSA, average MW: 2,000) synthesized by the coupling reaction of 2-ethylhexyl 4-hydroxycinnamate with poly vinylbenzyl chloride, as model UV filters. For in vitro skin permeation experiments, Franz diffusion cells (effective diffusion area:1.766cm) and the excised skin of female hairless mouse aged 8 weeks were used. Oil or emulsion containing UV filters was applied in the donor compartment. The skin primary irritation was evaluated with fe-male guinea pigs (8-10 weeks,350-400 g). In oil and emulsions, the skin permeability and the skin primary irritation of PSA were lower than those of OMC. The skin permeability of UV filters was lower when they were in oil-in-water emulsion (OIW) than water-in-oil emulsion (W/O). We suggest that O/W system would be more useful when compared with W/O system, and PSA could be a good candidate for a future sunscreen agent for reducing the skin irritation.

The purpose of this study was to compare the pkarmacokinetic parameters of vancomycin using a 2-compartment model in 8 Korean healthy volunteers and 8 lymphoma patients. Vancomycin (1.0 g) was administered by IV infusion over 60 minutes. The $\beta-phase$ rate constant $(\beta)$, apparent volume of distribution at steady srate $(V_{ss})$, total body clearance (CL) and area under the plasma level-time curve (AUC) of vancomycin in healthy volunteers were $0.15\pm0.02\;hr^{-1},\;33.8\pm4.12\;L/kg,\;5.36\pm0.61\;L/hr\;and\;185.8\pm20.5\;{\mu}g/ml{\cdot}hr$, respectively. The corresponding values in lymphoma patients ere $0.09\pm0.02\;hr^{-1},\;38.2\pm5.11\;L/kg,\;4.58\pm0.52\;L/hr\;and\;218.3\pm22.9\;{\mu}g/ml{\cdot}hr$. There were significant differences (p<0.05) in ${\beta}$ and CL between healthy volunteers and lymphoma patients.

Antibiotics have been routinely used to control the disease of farm-raised animals in the aquaculture facilities without any criterion based on a pharmacokinetic study. This lack of information on the effective usage of antibiotics would have brought the farmers to use excessive and/or less dosages, causing the advent of drug-resistant bacteria as well as economic loss and possible contamination of the local farming area. Until recently, few studies on a detailed manual for the antibiotic usage including chemotherapy procedure, dosage, and treatment schedule of the aquatic antibiotics have been conducted throughout the world. To the worse, there is no available criterion for optimal usage of aquatic antibiotics to control diseases in aquatic farms in this country because every country has its own aquacultural system. Therefore, based on the previous studies on the usage of the various antibiotics, our studies are to focus on the development of optimal method for the detection of various antibiotics on the fate of antibiotics applied to the fish, including absorption, circulation, and secretion physiology. Pharmacokinetic study were to sep up the optimal detective condition against residual antibiotics of fish by HPLC. The grinding pefloxacin for 15 min is most effective in dissolution test and pharmacokinetic parameters. Pharmacokinetic parameters were satisfactory for 15 min-grinding products and they can be explained as one-compartment model.

Effects of aluminum magnesium hydroxide (A) and cimetidine (C) on the pharmacokinetics of minocycline (M) were investigated in female rats. Blood samples were collected at various time intervals until 36 hrs following oral dosing of drugs. Plasma minocycline concentrations were determined by HPLC. Control group (M), $T_1$ group (M+A), $T_2$ group (A+M after 2 hrs), $T_3$ group (M+A after 2 hrs), $T_4$ group (M+C) and $T_5$ group (C+M after 2 hrs) were divided to examine interaction of the drugs with minocycline. Plasma minocyline level-time curves were well described by two-compartment open model with first-order absorption in rats. Antacid treatment was associated with reduced of 71.0, 45.9, 35.7% in minocycline absorption rate $constant(K_{\alpha})$, maximum plasma $concentration(C_{max})$, and relative $bioavailability(F_{rel})$, respectively. Cimetidine treatment group exhibited no significant changes in plasma level-time curve when compared with control group and did not affect minocycline absorption as by any of these three parameters.
