To elucidate a potential contribution of endotheline-1[ET-1] to the genesis of pulmonary hypertension and postoperative pulmonary hypertensive crisis in the patients with heart disease, we measured plasma levels of the ET-1 during perioperative period of open heart surgery. In addition, we examined changes of ET-1 during perioperative period and correlations between ET-1 levels and hemodynamic variables. 12 patients including 5 acquired heart disease and 7 congenital heart disease patients were selected randomly as a study group, Group A and B, respectively. 6 patients proved not having heart or hemodynamic problem were selected as a control, Group C. 110 blood samples from pulmonary artery[ET-P] and radial artery[ET-S] were taken and assayed by Sep-pak extraction and RIA. ET-1 levels of Group A were ET-P, 3.94$\pm$5.31pg /ml, ET-S, 3.10$\pm$2.90pg/ml[p>0.05], Group B were ET-P, 1.63$\pm$0.62pg/ml, ET-S, 1.99$\pm$2.45pg/ml[p>0.05], Group C were ET-P, 1.97$\pm$2.02pg/ml, ET-S, 1.72$\pm$0.77pg/ml[p>0.05]. There were no statistically significant differences of ET-1 levels among the Group A, B, C[p>0.05]. There was no correlation between pulmonary artery pressure[PAP] and ET-1 level[p>0.05], and ET-1 levels were not increased even in the cases of pulmonary hypertensive criwis or low cardiac output syndrome, whereas significant correlation between ET-S and pulmonary vascular res-istance[Rp] [r=0.36, p<0.05], and negative correlation between ET-S and OS saturation of pulmonary artery[OS-P][r= -0.49, p<0.01] were identified. Another significant finding was peak increase of ET-1 levels in the postoperative period 1 hour[p<0.05] and then gra-dualy decrease through the postoperative period. In conclusion, ET-1 has no correlation with PAP, whereas correlation with Rp, and inverse correlation with OS-P. It is suggested that ET-1 is neither the direct causative substance of pulmonary hypertension nor pulmonary vasospasm but there must be increased production of ET-1 in chronic pulmonary hypertensive state. Counter-regulatory mechanism to ET-1 is speculated during the pulmonary vasospasm.

In recent years immediate implantation has been tried by a few clinicians. This study placed IMZ implants in the rabbit femur with and without bony defects around the implant for simulating fresh extraction site. And one group with bony defects used porous hydroxyapatite ganules(HA) to fill if and the other group left the bony defects around the implant. The purpose of this study was to compare the shear bond strength and the bony contact and formation around the implant. Fifteen rabbits were divided into three groups and placed 10 IMZ implants to each group. Implant sites were surgically prepared with IMZ drills kit and implants were placed(Control), artificial bony defect was created with Apaceram drills kit around the implant sites and implants were placed(Experimental I), bony defect was filled with porous hydroxyapatite granules(Experimental II). Thereafter, rabbits were sacrificed at 8th week and specimens were prepared and pushout tested for shear bond strength of bone-implant interface immediately. Undecalcified and decalcified specimens were prepared with Vilanueva and hematoxylin-eosin stain for light microscopic finding. The results of this study were as follows. 1. In the control group, mean shear strength of bone-implant interface was $2.614{\pm}0.680$ MPa, experimental I was $0.664{\pm}0.322$ MPa, and experimental II was $2.281{\pm}0.606$ MPa. There was significant difference between control and experimental I, between experimental I and experimental II, but did not show significant difference between control and experimental II statistically. 2. In the bony formation surrounding IMZ implant of the three groups, that of cortical bone is more advanced than cancellous bone area. 3. In the histological findings of undecalcified specimens, control and experimental II showed more than 50% of bony or osteoid formation at the bony-implant interface. 4. In the histological findings of undecalcified specimens, experimental I showed less than 50% of bony or osteoid formation at the interface, and observed partial bony defect in the coronal zone. 5. In the experimental II group, were observed direct bony contact to hydroxyapatite granules, and infiltration of a few giant cells. 6. No inflammatory responses were seen around the titanium implants and the hydroxyapatite granules.

In order to develop enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for fumonisins, production of specific antibodies, establishment of ELISA conditions, and quantitation of the toxin from spiked corns by ELISA were performed. Fumonisin $B_1(FB_1)$ conjugated to cholera toxin (CT) with or without Freund's adjuvant was subcutaneously injected into 2 groups of rabbits. When the titer of the antisera produced by each rabbit was tested, higher titer was observed in case of the immunization with the adjuvant. By use of the antiserum showing the highest titer (1:16,000) and its purified antibodies, competitive indirect and direct ELISA's (ciELISA and cdELISA) were established, respectively. When the cross-reactivity of the antibody against fumonisin analogs was investigated by the ciELISA, it was very low against $B_3$ (2%) but high against fumonisin $B_2$ (179%). The sensitivity of the ELISAs was also very high, because the detection limit for $FB_1$ was 0.03 ppb in ciELISA and 0.3 ppb in cdELISA. When the ELISA's were applied to the spiked corns after extraction with 75% methanol, the assay recovery of $FB_1$ was too unstable to assay. However, when cleanup by strong anion exchange (SAX) cartridge was introduced to remove interfering materials, the mean ELISA recovery of $FB_1$ from corns spiked to 3~10 ppm was found to be 34.0% and stable (mean of CV, 8.2%).

회분식 및 연속류 주상 실험을 통해 인공 조제 지하수로부터 입상활성탄에 의한 6가크롬 (Cr(VI)) 제거에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 실험에 적용된 변수로는 용액의 pH, 용존산소의 존재여부를 사용하였고 2가철(Fe(II))로 활성탄을 전처리한 것을 처리하지 않은 활성탄과 그 결과를 비교하였다. 용액의 pH를 4.0에서 7.5로 증가 시킴에 따라 무처리 및 Fe(II)로 전처리한 활성탄 모두에 흡착된 Cr(VI)의 양이 현저히 감소하였다. 용존산소가 배제 (무산소조건) 되었을 경우 Cr(VI) 제기량이 증가하였는데, 이는 Cr(VI)의 Cr(III)로의 환원 때문으로 추측된다. 그러나, Fe(II)에 의한 활성탄의 전처기는 Cr(Vl)제거에 거의 영향을 미치지 않았다 흡착된 Cr(VI)를 추출하기위해 0.01M $K_2$$HPO_4$와 침전 또는 흡착된 Cr(III)를 제거하기위해 0.02N $K_2$$HPO_4$로 세척하였는데, 이는 Cr(VI)로 흡착능이 고갈된 활성탄 재생의 한 방법으로 고려될 수 있으리라 사료된다. 재생된 활성탄은 본래의 활성탄보다 큰 흡착능을 보였는데, 그 이유는 Cr(VI)가 낮은 pH에서 흡착이 잘되며 또 Cr(III)로 환원되기 때문으로 사료된다. 산세척수중의 Cr(III)의 존재는 비교적 산성 조건하에서 Cr(VI)의 Cr(III)로의 환원을 보여주는 증거로 사료된다. 5회의 재생 및 재사용 실험에서 이 재생방법이 흡착능을 악화시키는 것 없이 지속적으로 사용될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Modem drug discovery requires rapid pharmacokinetic evaluation of chemically diverse compounds for early candidate selection. This demands the development of analytical methods that offer high-throughput of samples. Naturally, liquid chromatography / tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is choice of the analytical method because of its superior sensitivity and selectivity. As a result of the short analysis time(typically 3-5min) by LC-MS/MS, sample preparation has become the rate- determining step in the whole analytical cycle. Consequently tremendous efforts are being made to speed up and automate this step. In a typical automated 96-well SPE(solid-phase extraction) procedure, plasma samples are transferred to the 96-well SPE plate, internal standard and aqueous buffer solutions are added and then vacuum is applied using the robotic liquid handling system. It takes only 20-90 min to process 96 samples by automated SPE and the analyst is physically occupied for only approximately 10 min. Recently, the ultra-high flow rate liquid chromatography (turbulent-flow chromatography)has sparked a huge interest for rapid and direct quantitation of drugs in plasma. There is no sample preparation except for sample aliquotting, internal standard addition and centrifugation. This type of analysis is achieved by using a small diameter column with a large particle size(30-5O ${\mu}$m) and a high flow rate, typically between 3-5 ml/min. Silica-based monolithic HPLC columns contain a novel chromatographic support in which the traditional particulate packing has been replaced with a single, continuous network (monolith) of pcrous silica. The main advantage of such a network is decreased backpressure due to macropores (2 ${\mu}$m) throughout the network. This allows high flow rates, and hence fast analyses that are unattainable with traditional particulate columns. The reduction of particle diameter in HPLC results in increased column efficiency. use of small particles (<2 urn), however, requires p.essu.es beyond the traditional 6,000 psi of conventional pumping devices. Instrumental development in recent years has resulted in pumping devices capable of handling the requirements of columns packed with small particles. The staggered parallel HPLC system consists of four fully independent binary HPLC pumps, a modified auto sampler, and a series of switching and selector valves all controlled by a single computer program. The system improves sample throughput without sacrificing chromatographic separation or data quality. Sample throughput can be increased nearly four-fold without requiring significant changes in current analytical procedures. The process of Bioanalytical Method Validation is required by the FDA to assess and verify the performance of a chronlatographic method prior to its application in sample analysis. The validation should address the selectivity, linearity, accuracy, precision and stability of the method. This presentation will provide all overview of the work required to accomplish a full validation and show how a chromatographic method is suitable for toxirokinetic sample analysis. A liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method developed to quantitate drug levels in dog plasma will be used as an example of tile process.

With the popularization of big data environment, big data have been highlighted as a key information strategy to establish national spatial data infrastructure for a scientific land policy and the extension of the creative economy. Especially interesting from our point of view is the cadastral information is a core national information source that forms the basis of spatial information that leads to people's daily life including the production and consumption of information related to real estate. The purpose of our paper is to suggest the scheme of big data analytics with respect to the articles of cadastral resurvey project in order to approach cadastral information in terms of spatial data integration. As specific research method, the TM (Text Mining) package from R was used to read various formats of news reports as texts, and nouns were extracted by using the KoNLP package. That is, we searched the main keywords regarding cadastral resurvey, performing extraction of compound noun and data mining analysis. And visualization of the results was presented. In addition, new reports related to cadastral resurvey between 2012 and 2014 were searched in newspapers, and nouns were extracted from the searched data for the data mining analysis of cadastral information. Furthermore, the approval rating, reliability, and improvement of rules were presented through correlation analyses among the extracted compound nouns. As a result of the correlation analysis among the most frequently used ones of the extracted nouns, five groups of data consisting of 133 keywords were generated. The most frequently appeared words were "cadastral resurvey," "civil complaint," "dispute," "cadastral survey," "lawsuit," "settlement," "mediation," "discrepant land," and "parcel." In Conclusions, the cadastral resurvey performed in some local governments has been proceeding smoothly as positive results. On the other hands, disputes from owner of land have been provoking a stream of complaints from parcel surveying for the cadastral resurvey. Through such keyword analysis, various public opinion and the types of civil complaints related to the cadastral resurvey project can be identified to prevent them through pre-emptive responses for direct call centre on the cadastral surveying, Electronic civil service and customer counseling, and high quality services about cadastral information can be provided. This study, therefore, provides a stepping stones for developing an account of big data analytics which is able to comprehensively examine and visualize a variety of news report and opinions in cadastral resurvey project promotion. Henceforth, this will contribute to establish the foundation for a framework of the information utilization, enabling scientific decision making with speediness and correctness.

지하수 중에 용존된 무기탄소 화합물을 기체 방출 법을 이용하여 정량적으로 추출하였다. 기체 방출법은 직접 침전법에 비하여 소요시간이 적으며, 대기중의 이산화탄소 및 수중에 존재하는 황산이온의 영향도 무시할 수 있어 보다 효과적임을 알 수 있었다. 기체 방출법에 의한회수율 측정 결과 분당 4리터의 유량 율로 2시간 방출시켰을 때 99% 정도의 회수율을 나타내었다. 포집 시간에 따른 동위원소 분별효과를 측정하기 위하여 방출 초기 1시간과 이후 30분 간격으로 2회 포집 분석한 결과, 각각의 ${\delta}^{13}C$는 각각 -7.9‰, -3.0‰, +0.4‰로 측정되어 기체 방출법을 이용한 수중의 무기탄소 회수시 방출 초기에는 보다 가벼운 탄소의 방출이 우세하며, 보다 무거운 탄소의 방출은 후기에 이루어지는 것을 나타내었다. 그러나 이러한 동위원소 분별효과는 탄소화합물의 거의 완전한 회수에 의해 무시될 수 있었다.
