Trace elements compose a very small portion of the body, however they have a variety of essential functions. Various diseases are caused by trace element deficiencies, and sometimes they can be fatal. Long-term TPN is a risk factor of trace element deficiency, and trace elements need to be checked regularly while receiving TPN. It is important to provide sufficient requirements of trace elements regarding the clinical features and the problems of trace element excess or deficiency. Moreover extensive studies to establish the efficiency of examining human hair and nails, recent method to determine the trace elements, are required.

Selenium is an ultra trace essential element for the normal functioning body because of forming the active center of redox enzymes such as four kinds of glutathione peroxidases (GPx), thioredoxin reductase (TR) and 5'-iodothyronine deiodinase. However, the adequate range between deficient and excessive levels is very narrow. (omitted)

Effect of Growell a herbomineral premix was evaluated on performance, organ weight, humoral immune response, tissue and serum trace element profile of boilers. Day old 50 Babcock broiler chicks were randomly divided in two groups (C and T) and reared on deep litter system for 6 weeks of age. Chicks from group C were given basal diet while chicks from T group were fed basal diet supplemented with Growell at the rate 0.35 g/Kg. The chicks were vaccinated with Lasota strain of NCDV at $4^{th}$ and $28^{th}$ day of age. The birds receiving Growell treatment had higher body weight with better feed conversion ratio as compare to that of control chicks. Growell treatment had significantly reduced per cent weight of spleen and kidney, whereas that of bursa was increased. There was no effect of treatment on relative weight of thymus. HI antibody titer against NCDV in Growell treated chicks were higher as compare to untreated chicks indicating better humoral immune status. Growell treatment had no effect on serum Fe and Zn concentration. Dietary supplementation of Growell had significantly increased iron content of liver, kidney and muscle; zinc content of kidney and muscle; copper content of kidney and muscle and Mn content of kidney. Growell treatment improved the body weight, FCR and humoral immune status of broilers. Similarly, deposition of trace minerals in various organs was also increased in comparison to control.

전남 지방에서 출토된 고대 기와의 태토 조성을 X-선 회절 분석과 유도 결합 플라즈마 발광분석에 의해 고찰하였으며, 분석 대상의 기와는 산성 유적과 와요지에서 출토된 것이다. 기와는 태토의 광불 조성에 따라 5 계통으로 분류되었으며, 각 출토지별로 화학 조성이 달랐다. 기와는 출토지에 관계없이 철분 4~10%을 함유한 태토이며, 저급의 원료를 채취한 상태 그대로 사용하였다. 이들 유적에서 출토된 고대 기와는 사용 원료, 소성 온도 등의 기술적인 차이에 따른 태토 특성을 반영하고 있었다. 각 유적에서 출토된 기와는 바나듐 원소에 의해 지질학적 특성 차이를 확인할 수 있었으며, $SiO_2$와 바나듐 원소에 의해 출토지별로 명확히 구분되었다. 한편 여수의 고락산성과 척산 산성에서 출토된 기와는 유사한 태토 조성을 지니고 있지만, 지질학적 특성에는 명확한 차이가 있었다.

Trace elements are important components in the biological system, as a structural material and metabolic controller. Neutron activation analysis (NAA) with high neutron flux and high energy resolution Ge (Li) detector coupled to multichannel analyzer (MCA) has been one of the most accurate method for the determination of ultra-trace level components, and is applicable to biological material. In human body, the NAA can be used for quantitation of trace elements in various organs and tissue with endocrinological and metabolic disease and industrial metal poisoning. In this study, Triga Mark III nuclear reactor in Korea Atomic Research Institute was used for quantitation of trace eleement in human lung cancer tissues by neutron activation analysis. In the squamous cell carcinoma tissues, Br, Hg, La, Sb, Sc, Cl, Fe and I content were lower than normal lung tissues, and K, Rb and Se content were higher. In the adenocarcinoma tissues, Fe, Au, La, Sc and Zn content were lower than normal lung tissues, and Rb, Co and Se content were higher. Rb content was higher in the adenocarcinoma tissues than in the squamous cell carcinoma tissues. Fe and Na content were higher in the squamous cell carcinoma tissues than in the adenocarcinoma tissues.

The ruminal solubility of copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo), and zinc (Zn) in eight Philippine forages was studied. These forages were: 1) grasses: paragrass (Brachiaria mutica (Forsk.) Stapf), stargrass (Cynodon plectostachyum Pilger), and napiergrass (Pennisetum purpureum Schumach.); 2) creeping legumes: calopogonium or calopo (Calopogonium muconoides Desv.) and centrocema (Centrocema pubescens Benth.); 3) tree lequmes: gliricidia or kakawate (Gliricidia sepium (Jacq.) Walp.), leucaena or ipil-ipil (Leucaena leucocephala (Lam.) de Wit.), and sesbania or katuray (Sesbania grandiflora (L.) Poir). Nylon bags with samples were incubated for 0, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72h in three rumen cannulated sheep fed with timothy hay (Phleum pratense L.) at 2% body weight/d. The 0-h bags were washed with deionized water. There were species differences (p < 0.05) on the different solubilities of trace elements. At O-h incubation, the trend of solubility was Mo (54%) > Zn (43%) > Cu (38.7%) > Mn (29.5%). At 3-h incubation, all the elements except Mn had an average solubility above 50%. Combining particulate passage rate (1.9%/h) and various trace elements disappearance rates, the effective ruminal solubilization (ERS) of trace elements were computed. The ERS across species ranged from 44.6 to 89.9% for Cu, 29.9 to 84% for Mn, 66 to 95.1% for Mo, and 30.1 to 82.3% for Zn resulting to a trend of Mo > Zn > Cu > Mn.

Selenium(Se) is an essential trace element in the human body. Main function of this element is a catalytic part of antioxidant enzymes that protect cells against the attacks of free radicals that are produced during normal metabolism of the body. Se is also essential for normal function of the immune system and thyroid gland. It also appears to be a key nutrient in counteracting the development of virulence and inhibiting HIV(human immunodeficiency virus) progression to AIDS. It is also required for sperm motility and reduces the depression. Therefore, it is very meaningful that livestock producers generate Se-fortified animal products, such as Se-egg, Se-milk, Se-pork, Se-chicken and Se-beef from the point of producers as well as human heath. However, regulation on Se usage and Se-fortified food/feed is far from being clear in Korea even though Se should be carefully monitored because of its toxicity. Thus, one has to be aware of Se properties when designing Se-fortified animal products.

Hair provides important information about the body's mineral status. Therefore, we have studied the trace elemental distribution in human hair under different inhalation and ingestion environment using neutron activation analysis (NAA). NAA is a powerful analytical method which can be used successfully to determine trace elements in environmental and biological materials. Total diet and six different herbal medicine were analysed to study ingestion environment. Airborne dust in foundry was analysed and compared with outdoor dust to study inhalation environment. Human hairs of common person, herbal medicine taker and foundry worker were analysed to estimate the trace elemental distribution of people under different inhalation and ingestion environment. Analytical results show that herbal medicines contain higher micronutrients such as Ca, Mg, Mn and Cu that total diet and airborne dust in foundry has high Cr. The concentration of Ca, Mg and Mn in hair of herbal medicine taker is two times higher than in hair of common person and Cr con-centration in hair of foundry worker is about three times higher than in hair of common person. These results show that NAA can be used importantly to monitor human health through biological and environmental samples.

구속된 ?(restrained warping)효과를 고려하는 박벽 공간뼈대구조의 횡후좌굴거동을 조사하기 위하여 기하학적 비선형 유한요소이론 및 해석법을 제시한다. 가상일의 원리를 이용하여 대변형효과를 고려한 3차원 연속체의 평형방정식으로부터, 구속된 ?효과를 고려하고 유한한 회전각의 2차항의 효과를 포함하는 변위장을 도입하여 초기응력을 받는 박벽 공간뼈대요소의 증분평형방정식을 유도한다. 박벽 공간뼈대구조를 유한요소로 나누고 변위장을 요소변위에 관한 Hermitian 다항식으로 나타내어 이를 평형방정식에 대입함으로써 접선강도행렬을 유도한다. 또한 updated Lagrangian formulation에 근거하여, 증분변위로부터 강체회전변위와 순수변형성분을 분리시켜서 강체회전은 요소의 방향변화를 결정하고, 순수변형은 부재력증분을 산정하는 불평형하중 산정법을 제시한다. 박벽 공간뼈대구조의 횡-비틂좌굴 및 후좌굴 거동에 대한 예제들을 통하여 본 연구에 대한 해석결과와 문헌의 결과를 비교 검토함으로써 본 연구에서 제시된 이론 및 해석방법의 정당성을 입증한다.

대전시 원내동 일대에서 수습된 도편 9점과 부안 유천리 청자요지에서 수습된 청자편 11점의 화학성분을 분석하고, 취합된 발표자료들과 비교하여 시료의 도자특성과 산지에 대한 정보를 유추하였다. 태토와 유약의 주요산화물분석은 XRF와 EPMA를 사용하였고, 태토중 미량원소의 함량은 ICP-MS를 이용하였다 자료의 비교분류 방법으로, Seger식과 주성분분석법의한 방법을 병행하였다. 원내동 백자(C-1)은 매우 높은 $SiO_2$의 함량으로 대부분의 도편들과 상이한 결과를 보였으며, 원내동 백자(C-2)는 서울${\cdot}$경기 및 대전${\cdot}$충남 지방의 도자기들과 매우 유사한 유약 및 태토의 특성을 보였다. 원내동 청자(B-1과 B-2)는 태토의 분류에서 대전${\cdot}$충남지방에 속하는 것으로 나타났다. 분청은 Seger식 및 주성분 분석법으로 지방별 특성을 결정하기 어려웠다. 유천리 시료는 태토와 유약에 있어 기존의 자료와 거의 일치하는 특성을 보여 본 연구에 의한 도자기의 분류가 각 도자기별 특성과 지역적 특성을 연구하는데 어느 정도 객관성과 타당성을 가짐을 확인할 수 있었다.
