The purpose of this study was to compare the anaerobic threshold (AT) between subjects with and without non-specific chronic low back pain (NCLBP). The patient group included 15 women with NCLBP. The normal group included 15 women without NCLBP who were age-, height-, weight-, and activity level-matched. The subjects performed a Balke treadmill protocol which was symptom-limited progressive loading test. Their heart rate (HR), ventilatory gas and metabolic equivalents (METs) were measured using the automatic breath gas analyzing system. After the test, each subjects' ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) were evaluated. The visual analog scale (VAS) was assessed pre- and post-test. The independent t-test and Wilcoxon's signed-rank test were used for analysis of the data. Time, HR, the volume of oxygen consumption ($VO_2$), relative $VO_2$, and METs at the AT level of the patient group were significantly lower than those of the healthy group (p<.05). However, there were no significant differences in RPE, VAS, and breathing frequency at the AT level (p>.05). The findings of this study indicate that patients with NCLBP had a lower aerobic fitness than healthy subjects. Thus, implementation of rehabilitation program to increase aerobic fitness may be considered in patietns with NCLBP, and further studies are required to determine the etiological factors of decreased aerobic fitness.

A 1.28 L-batch reactor and continuous-flow stirred tank reactor (CFSTR) fed with formate and trichloroethene (TCE) were operated for 120 days and 56 days, respectively, to study the effect of formate as electron donor on anaerobic reductive dechlorination (ARD) of TCE to cis-1,2-dichloroethylene (c-DCE), vinyl chloride (VC), and ethylene (ETH). In batch reactor, injected 60 ${\mu}mol$ TCE was completely degraded in the presence of 20% hydrogen gas ($H_2$) in less than 8 days by anaerobic dechlorination mixed-culture (300 mg-soluble protein), Evanite Culture with ability to completely degrade tetrachloroethene (PCE) and -TCE to ETH under anaerobic conditions. Once the formate was used as electron donor instead of hydrogen gas in batch or chemostat system, the TCE-dechlorination rate decreased and acetate production rate increased. It indicates that the concentration of hydrogen produced in both systems is possibly more close to threshold for homoacetogenesis process. Soluble protein concentration of Evanite culture during the batch test increased from 300 mg to 688 mg for 120 days. Through the protein monitoring, we confirmed an increase of microbial population during the reactor operation. In CFSTR test, TCE was fed continuously at 9.9 ppm (75.38 ${\mu}mol/L$) and the influent formate feed concentration increased stepwise from 1.3 mmol/L to 14.3 mmol/L. Injected TCE was accumulated at 18 days of HRT, but TCE was completely degraded at 36 days of HRT without accumulation of the injected-TCE during the left of experiment period, getting $H_2$ from fermentative hydrogen production of injected formate. Although c-DCE was also accumulated for 23 days after beginning of CFSTR operation, it reached steady-state in the presence of excessive formate. We also evaluated microbial dynamic of the culture at different chemical state in the reactor by DGGE (denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis).

Maximal cardiac output and oxygen uptake $(VO_{2max})$ were measured during treadmill exercise for seven top-class marathoners and nine non-athletes using impedance cardiograph developed by one of the authors (DW Kim). Results of this study are summarized as belows. 1) New shoes with sponge and silicon rubber attached to the soles were developed to reduce motion artifact during treadmill exercise. Ensemble everaging techneque with the developed shoes was also used to improve the measurement of stroke volume using impedance cardiography. 2) Maximal cardiac output of the athletes, 14.98 L/min, was significantly higher than that of the non-athletes, 13.46 L/min. As maximal heart rate of the marathoners is lower than that of non-athletes, stroke volume of the former is significantly larger than that of the latter. 3) $VO_{2max}$ of the marathoners, 59.38 ml/kg/min, was higher than that of the non-athletes, 40.22 ml/kg/min. At the anaerobic threshold. $VO_{2max}$ of the former was 62.3% of $VO_{2max}$ and this was significantly higher than that of the non-athletes, 57.2%, This results indicates that the marathoners have higher aerobic capacity than the non-athletes. 4) The marathoners showed larger $VO_2$ than the non-athletes at the same cardiac output, indicating that a-v $O_2$ of the former is higher than that of the latter. 5) Maximal systolic pressure of the marathoners was higher than that of the non-athletes, and so was maximal rate-pressure products. These results indicate that heart oxygen consumption rate $(hVO_2)$ of the marathoner is higher than that of the non-athletes is mainly due to higher stroke volume. And higher oxygen consumption of the marathoners is due to higher stroke volume. And higher oxygen consumption of the marathoners is due to their larger a-v $O_2$. The marathoners show both higher threshold and $VO_{2max}$. Especially, measurement of cardiac output during treadmill exercise by improved impedance cardiography is expected to contribute in study of cardiac function of athletes.

Odor emission from domestic sewer systems has become a serious environmental problem. An investigation on a sewer manhole revealed that anaerobic decay of sediment organic matters (SOMs) and related declines of oxidation reduction potential (ORP) in the sediment layer were the main reason of the production of volatile sulfur compounds. In addition, as the anaerobic decaying period continued, the odor intensity rapidly increased with increasing concentrations of $H_2S$ and dimethyl sulfide. As a feasible method to control SOMs and to minimize odor emission potentials, an electrolytic oxidation process has been employed to the sediment sludge phase. In this study, voltages applied to the electrolytic oxidation process were varied as a main system parameter, and its effects on odor removal efficiencies and reaction characteristics were investigated. At the applied voltages greater than 20 V, the system efficiently oxidized the organic matter, and the ORP in the sludge phase increased rapidly. As a consequence, the removal efficiency of hydrogen sulfide was found to be >99% within 60 minutes of the electrolytic oxidation. Overall, the electrolytic oxidation process can be an alternative to control odor emission from sewer systems, and a threshold input energy needs to be determined to achieve effective operation of the process.

연구배경 : 혈중 유산농도를 측정함으로써 결정되는 무산소역치(유산역치)는 관혈적이라는 제한점이 있어, 운동부하시 유산증가에 수반되는 환기적부하에 반응하는 여러환기지표에서 비관혈적으로 무산소역치 (환기성역치)를 측정하는 방법들이 제시되어 있고, 이들에는 환기 당량법, 종말호기 산소분압법, V-경사법, 호흡지수법 등이 알려져 있다. 무산소역치를 반영하는 환기성 역치의 타당도에 관하여 논란이 없는 것은 아니지만, 일관성있는 방법적 신뢰도가 유효하다면 운동능력 평가에 있어서 환기성역치의 유용성이 인정된다는 일반적인 의견이다. 그러나 이미 환기장애가 초래되어 있는 만성기도폐쇄를 보이는 환자에서는 운동증가에 따르는 유산증가에 대처하는 환기반응이 적절하지 못하므로 환기성역치가 무산소역치를 반영하지 못한다는 지적이 었다. 만성기포폐쇄를 보이는 환자에서 상기한 네가지 환기성역치 측정방법들의 역치검출율과 신뢰도를 확인하기 위하여 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법 : 12명의 정상대조군과 17명의 만성기도폐쇄 환자군을 대상으로 증상제한적 최대운동부하검사(정상군 : 25 W/min, 만성기도폐쇄군 10 W/min)를 실시한 후 환기당량법, 종말호기산소분압법, V-경사법, 호흡지수법 등에 의해 환기성역치를 구한 후 상관계수를 구하여 유의성을 검증하였다. 결 과 : 각 환기성역치 측정방법에 의한 역치 검출율은 정상대조군에서 호흡지수법이 100%, 환기당량법과 종말호기 산소분압법이 91.7%로 같은 빈도를 보였고, V-경사법은 83.3%의 빈도를 보여 점반적으로 비교적 높은 빈도의 검출율을 보인 반면, 만성기도폐쇄군에서 호흡지수법이 94.1%로 가장 높았으나 환기당량법과 종말호기 산소분압법이 64.7%의 같은 검출빈도로 정상대조군에 비해 현저히 감소되었고, V-경사법은 83.3%로 정상대조군과 검출율에 있으서 같은 빈도를 보였다. 각 환기성역치 측정방법들의 유의성을 검증한 결과 정상대조군에서는 호흡지수법을 제외한 환기당량법과 종말호기 산소분압법, 그리고 V-경사법 등간에 모두 유의한 상관관계를 보인 반면 만성기도폐쇄군애서는 환기당량법과 종말호기 산소분압법사이에서만 상관계수가 0.9860으로 정상대조군에서처럼 매우 높은 일치도를 보였고 나머지 방법들간에는 그 어느 조합도 유의한 상관관계를 확인할 수 없었다. 결 론 : 호흡지수법은 매우 예민하지만 신뢰성이 떨어지는 방법이고, 환기당량법과 종말호기 산소분압법은 거의 유사한 방법이며, 환기능이 정상인 사람에서는 환기성역치 측정이 무산소역치를 반영하는 유용성이 었다고 판단되지만 만성기도폐쇄 환자에서는 그 유용성이 떨어진다고 생각된다.

An electrolytic oxidation process was applied to remove odorous compounds from non-point odor sources including wastewater pipelines and manholes. In this study, a distance between the anode and the cathode of the electrolytic process was varied as a system operating parameters, and its effects on odor removal efficiencies and reaction characteristics were investigated. Odor precursors such as sediment organic matters and reduced sulfur/nitrogen compounds were effectively oxidized in the electrolytic process, and a change in oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) indicated that an stringent anaerobic condition shifted to a mild anoxic condition rapidly. At an electrode distance of 1 cm and an applied voltage of 30 V, a system current was maintained at 1 A, and the current density was 23.1 $mA/cm^{2}$. Under the condition, the removal efficiency of hydrogen sulfide in gas phase was found to be 100%, and 93% of ammonium ion was removed from the liquid phase during the 120 minute operating period. Moreover, the sulfate ion (${SO_4}^{2-}$) concentration increased about three times from its initial value due to the active oxidation. As the specific power consumption (i.e., the energy input normalized by the effective volume) increased, the oxidation progressed rapidly, however, the oxidation rate was varied depending on target compounds. Consequently, a threshold power consumption for each odorous compound needs to be experimentally determined for an effective application of the electrolytic oxidation.
