심하게 소손된 화재현장은 남아 있는 잔존물만으로 초기 화재의 유형을 판단하기 곤란할 때가 많다. 화재로 인해 사람이 사망하였을 경우 혈중 헤모글로빈(Hb)-일산화탄소(CO) 농도는 생존 당시의 화재의 유형을 가늠할 수 있으며 촉진제를 사용한 급격한 화재의 경우 열기와 유독가스로 인해 재실자의 생존은 화재진행속도와 비례되어 체내 Hb-CO 농도는 낮았으며, 훈소와 같이 서서히 진행되는 연소의 경우 오랜 시간 호흡하면서 체내에 축적되는 CO 농도는 증가하였다. 이러한 인체의 Hb-CO 농도를 분석하면 생존 시 어떠한 형태의 화재에 노출되었는지 알 수 있다. 휘발유로 분신한 자살의 경우를 포함해 훈소성 화재사에 이르기까지 Hb-CO 농도는 3 %에서 최고 93 %로 다양한 농도를 보였다.

Poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate) [P(3HB-co-4HB)] 미립구를 용매증발법으로 제조하였다. 3.9 mol% 4HB 조성의 P(3HB-co-4HB)를 Ralstonia eutropha의 유가식 배양으로부터 합성하였다. 계면활성제의 농도 및 종류(Tween 80, sodium dodecylsulfate, polyvinyl alcohol), 분산안정제 (Acacia)의 첨가, 고분자 및 모델 약물 (bovine serum albumin)의 농도 등이 미립구 입자 크기에 미치는 효과 및 in vitro 약물 방출 특성을 조사하였다. 평균 입자크기는 분산 안정제 첨가시 감소하였으며, 계면활성제, 약물 및 고분자의 농도가 증가할수록 증가하였다. 약물 방출량은 입자 크기가 감소할수록 증가하였다.

Characteristics of cell growth and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate) [P(3HB-co-4HB)] synthesis was investigated through flask and batch cultures of Alcaligenes latus and Comamonas acidovorans. The specific growth rate of C. acidovorans increased with yeast extract concentration and decreased with 1,4-butanediol concentration. Optimum glucose concentration for growth of C. acidovorans was 20 g/L. In one-step flask cultures of C. acidovorans, final dry cell weight and PHA content decreased with the ratio of 1,4-butanediol to glucose, while the 4HB fraction in copolymers gradually increased to 100 $mol\%$ with an initial 1,4-butanediol concentration of 20 g/L as single carbon source. The specific growth rate of A. latus decreased with v-butyrolactone concentration and optimum sucrose concentration for growth was 10 g/L. In batch cultures of A. latus, 4HB fraction increased with initial v-butyrolactone concentration. P(3HB-co-4HB) with 19 $mol\%$ 4HB was obtained when the initial ratio of v-butyloractone (g/L) to sucrose (g/L) was 10 : 10.

Ralstonia eutropha NCIMB 11599 and ATCC 17699 were grown, and their productions of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate) [P(3HB-co-4HB)] compared. In flask cultures of R. eutropha NCIMB 11599, cell concentration, P(3HB-co-4HB) concentration and polymer content decreased considerably with increases in the ${\gamma}-butyrolactone$ concentration, and the 4HB fraction was also very low (maximum 1.74 mol%). In fed-batch cultures of R. eutropha NCIMB 11599, glucose and ${\gamma}-butyrolactone$ were fed as the carbon sources, under a phosphate limitation strategy. When glucose was fed as the sole carbon source, with its concentration controlled using an on-line glucose analyzer, 86% of the P(3HB) homopolymer was obtained from 201g/L of cells. In a two-stage fed-batch culture, where the cell concentration was increased to 104g/L, with glucose fed in the first step and constant feeding of ${\gamma}-butyrolactone$, at 6g/h, in the second, final cell concentration at 67h was 106g/L, with a polymer content of 82%, while the 4HB fraction was only 0.7mol%. When the same feeding strategy was applied to the fedbatch culture of R. eutropha ATCC 17699, where the cell concentration was increased to 42 g/L, by feeding fructose in the first step and ${\gamma}-butyrolactone$ (1.5g/h) in the second, the final cell concentration, polymer content and 4HB fraction at 74h were 51g/L, 35% and 32 mol%, respectively. In summary, R. eutropha ATCC 17699 was better than R. eutropha NCIMB 11599 in terms of P(3HB-co-4HB) production with various 4HB fractions.

In order to evaluate the elimination of CO through the lung comparing with the decrease of CO content in the blood, authors had induced acute CO poisoning on 9 dogs. Arterial CO-Hb saturation, CO concentration, %, in expired gas and eliminated CO amount through the lung were measured at 1,5,10,30,60, and 120 minutes after acute CO poisoning in 6 dogs breathing room air and 3 dogs breathing room air and oxygen alternately. Results obtained are summarized as follows. In room air breathing group, arterial CO-Hb saturation averaged 50.8% , and 53.67 ml of CO was blew off through the lung during 120 minutes and in alternately air and oBygen breathing group, the arterial CO-Hb saturation averaged 65.6% and 95.6 ml of CO was blew off through the lung. The amount of CO eliminated in expired gas for 120 minute was much less than the amount of decreased CO in arterial blood which was calculated with the decreased CO-Hb content in the estimated circulating blood volume. Such difference between the amount of eliminated CO in expired gas and the decreased CO in blood might be attributed to the oxidation of CO to $CO_2$ in the tissues. Concentration of CO in expired gas was markedly increased and the rate of decrease in arterial CO-Hb saturation is enhanced by oxygen breathing. In early period of recovery from acute CO poisoning, neither the CO concentration in expired gas, nor, the rate of CO elimination (unlit 2 minutes after CO poisoning) showed close correlation with the blood CO-Hb saturation level. The reason seemed to be due to irregularly depressed or unevenly stimulated respiration which were induced by acute CO poisoning.

백서 주령이 일산화탄소(CO) 폭로후 carboxyhemoglobin (HbCO) 형성 및 해리에 미치는 영향을 관찰하기 위하여 주령 1주, 2주, 6주 및 10주의 Sprague-Dawley계 백서에 일산화탄소를 폭로시킨 후 HbCO를 측정하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. CO에 급성으로 폭로된 후 형성되는 HbCO의 농도는 백서 주령에 따라 유의한 차이를 보였으며, 이는 1주군에서 현저히 높았고, 폭로후 120분이 경과되어도 다른 주령군에 비하여 유의하게 높았다. 2. CO에 폭로되지 않은 백서에서의 HbCO농도는 각 주령군마다 유의한 차이를 보였으며, 비폭로군에서 얻어진 주령별 평균 HbCO농도를 CO폭로후 얻어진 개개의 관측치에서 뺀 후 이를 비교한 결과 1.에서와 같은 차이를 보이지 않았다. 3. CO폭로후 경과시간과 HbCO 농도와의 관계를 알아보는 회귀분석에서 폭로후 경과시간은 HbCO농도에 유의한 영향을 미치며, HbCO가 해리되는 속도는 주령 1주군에서 유의하게 높았다.

Production of poly($\beta$-hydroxybutyrate-co-$\beta$-hydroxyvalerate)[poly(HB-co-HV) from glucose and propionic acid was studied in a two-stage fed-batch fermentation using Alcaligenes eutrophus NCIMB 11599. When either glucose became sufficient or the feeding rate of propionic acid decreased, production of poly(HB-co-HV) increased but concomitantly resulted in a reduced fraction of HV. During the copolymer accumulation stage, the specific production rate of hydroxyvalerate (HV) increased up to 0.013 (g-HV/g-RCM/h) but it decreased as propionic acid was accumulated. Control of the propionic acid concentration in the medium, therefore, is considered to be one of the most important operating parameters for production of poly(HB-co-HV) with a higher HV fraction. A high titre of poly(HB-co-HV) (85.6 g/I) with HV fraction of 11.4 mol$%$ could be obtained in 50 h by controlling the propionic acid concentration at 1 to 4 g/I.

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs)는 다양한 미생물이 세포 내에 저장하는 에너지 저장물질로 생체적합성 플라스틱의 원료 물질이다. 본 연구에서는 Cupriavidus necator를 사용하여 독립영양배양조건으로 poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (P(3HB))를 생산함에 있어서 $CO_2$ 농도가 미생물의 성장과 P(3HB)의 축적에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다. 첫 번째 질소원을 포함한 배지에서의 6일 간의 배양 단계에서 C. necator의 균체수는 $CO_2$ 농도와 관계없이 증가했지만, 균체 내에 축적된 P(3HB)의 양은 $CO_2$ 농도가 1-20%로 증가함에 따라 감소하였다. 두 번째 질소원이 제거된 배지에서의 4일 간의 배양 단계에서 P(3HB)의 축적량은 3% $CO_2$에서 가장 많았다. 하지만 전체 10일 간의 배양기간 동안 합성된 총 P(3HB)의 양은 1, 3, 10, 20% 순으로 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 $CO_2$를 사용하여 P(3HB)를 축적할 때 1-20% $CO_2$ 중에서 1% $CO_2$가 가장 효율적임을 확인하였다.

The stability of four hemoglobins (Hb) in dimer forms (low concentration) were investigated by the kinetics of denaturation. The rate constants of denaturation were obtained by variation of 280 nm absorption versus time in 10 mM Tris-HCl, 10 mM EDTA, pH 8.0 at $45^{\circ}C$ in the absence and presence of 0.5 M ethanol, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), formamide, and glycerol. The results show the trend of rate constants in different co-solvents in the following order: chicken hemolysate < human hemolysate and chicken Hb D < chicken Hb A. The buried surface area was calculated for Hb samples in the absence of cosolvents. Accordingly, the trend points out that: chicken Hb D > chicken Hb A > human Hb A. These results suggest that both chicken hemolysate and chicken Hb D are relatively more stable than human and chicken Hb A, respectively. However, the denaturation rate constants of Hb in different co-solvents have designated the following order: ethanol > DMSO > formamide > glycerol. As a matter of fact, this phenomenon is an indication of an increase in the denaturation capacity (DC) and hydrophobicity, and a decrease in the surface tension of the solution in the preceding co-solvents.
