본 연구는 수용액 상태에서 정제봉독 (purified bee venom, PBV)과 봉독멜리틴 (bee venom melittin, BVM)을 보관하기 위하여 온도, 용매, 농도의 조건에 따른 안정성을 비교 실험한 결과이다. Prep-HPLC (column: C₄)를 이용하여 정제봉독으로부터 98.2%인 봉독멜리틴을 분리하여 사용하였다. 용매에 따른 안정성 실험에서, 생리식염수의 경우 정제봉독은 안정성이 증가되고 봉독멜리틴은 감소되었다. 증류수의 조건에서 정제봉독의 안정성은 감소되었으나 봉독멜리틴은 증가되는 현상이 확인되었다. 봉독멜리틴의 안정성을 장기간 유지하기 위한 최적조건으로는 보관온도 4 ℃, 증류수, 시료의 농도는 1.0 mg/mL의 결과를 얻었다.

Purpose Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) is cell-surface 180-200 kDa glycoprotein that is overexpressed in breast, stomach pancreas, lung, and colorectal cancers. CEA was first described in 1965 by Gold and Freedman and then serum CEA of colorectal cancer patients was first measured in 1969 by radioimmunoassay by Thomson. CEA is currently most widely used tumor marker in the clinic for management of colorectal cancer. Various CEA test kits have been developed and commercialized. CEA kits from different manufacturers might have different test results because of different reagents and protocol. The purpose of this study was to compare results of four commercial available CEA kits. Materials and Methods This study was designed to evaluate four commercially available CEA kits using serum samples acquired from 120 patients who visited our clinic. Test results were compared and analyzed according to the respective test methods. High concentration samples were diluted with saline and diluted solution. Results All of the four kits showed a significant correlation within the reference value. However, three of the four kits used for the dilution test using high concentration samples showed the hook effect. Conclusion Results of the present study showed that It is important to establish the standardized dilution standards for the high-concentration specimens to manage the error of the test result by the hook effect.

실험실 조건에서 몇 개의 다른 종류의 토양에 의한 일산화탄소 소모를 측정했다. 시료로는 유기질이 많은 부식토 및 도로변의 토양과 실험에서 이미 사용한 높은 농도의 일산화탄소와 접했던 부식토 및 도로변의 토양을 택했다. 높은 CO농도 조건에서 CO의 소모성을 조사하기 위해서 18.2l 반응용기에서 CO의 농도를 2,000ppm에서 24,000ppm으로 변화시켰다. 토양의 CO 제거는 기체크로마토그래피법으로 측정하였다. 본 실험에서 시행한 조절실험의 결과를 보면 CO를 주로 제거하는 것은 화분용 토양임을 지적하고 있다. 부식토의 CO소모속도는 도로변의 흙에 비하여 월등히 크고, 실험에서 재사용된 부식토는 새로운 부식토에 비하여 약 15% 높은 소모속도를 나타냈다. 대기로부터 CO를 제거하는 토양의 능력은 $9,000{\sim}24,000ppm$의 CO농도 범위에서는 13,000ppm 근처일때 최대치에 도달했다. 스트렙토마이신의 첨가는 토양의 CO제거능력에 큰 영향을 미치지 못하지만, 10%의 소금물은 부식토의 CO제거능력을 현저하게 억제시켰다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes of morphology and structure of bone tissue, caused by administration of high-dose hydrocortisone, elcatonin and cyclophosphamide. In order to carry out experiment, 60 four-week old Sprague-Dawley strain rats weighing about 107 gms were selected and divided into experimental group and control group. The experimental group was subdivided into three groups, assigned fifteen rats for each group, by the different drugs administered. Each experimental group was then categorized as follows: hydrocortisone 30㎎/㎏ b.w. with daily subcutaneous injection, elcatonin 20U/㎏ b.w. with daily subcutaneous injection, and cyclophosphamide 100㎎/㎏ b.w. with a single intraperitoneal injection. Fifteen rats were injected daily with 5㎖/㎏ b.w. of normal saline solution subcutaneously in control group. Rats in control group and experimental group were serially sacrificed on the 6th, the 15th and the 22nd day after injection of normal saline, hydrocortisone, elcatonin and cyclophosphamide, respectively. Being sacrificed, both sides of mandibular condyles were removed and fixed with 10% neutral formaline. The one side of mandibular condyles was radiographed with soft X-ray apparatus. Thereafter, the obtained radiographs were observed, and the bone density of condylar head and condylar neck regions was measured by use of transferring video-based digital radiograph. The other side was further decalcified and embedded in paraffin as usual manner, then sectioned and stained with hematoxylin and eosin, observed by light microscope. The obtained results were as follows: 1. Sclerotic changes with regularly increased trabecular pattern were seen throughout experimental periods in hydrocortisone group. Increased the number of trabecular pattern with irregularity and periodic striation on the periphery of condylar head region were appeared with lapse of time in elcatonin group. In cyclophosphamide group, irregular trabecular pattern and stippled radiopacities on mandibular condyle were observed with lapse of time. 2. The bone density of condylar head region was increased in hydrocortisone group, decreased in elcatonin group, and tended to be decreased in cyclophosphamide group, compared with that of control group according to the experimental periods. 3. The bone density of condylar neck region tended to be rather increased in hydrocortisone group, elcatonin group and cyclophosphamide group, depending on the experimental periods. 4. In microscopic studies, there were irregular trabecular bonds and osteoblastic activity in hydrocortisone group and elcatonin group throughout experimental periods, degenerative cartilage and trabecular bones in the 6th day and densely calcified trabecular bones in the 22nd day in cyclophosphamide group.

전립선암 환자의 전이성 질환 진단을 위해 사용되는 양전자 방출 단층촬영용 [⁶⁸Ga]PSMA-11 주사액은 자동화 생산 방법을 통해 높은 재현성과 우수한 방사화학적 수율 및 순도를 얻을 수 있으며 제조 시 작업자의 방사선 피폭을 최소화할 수 있다. 이를 위해 적용한 비 카세트 방식과 카세트 방식의 자동 합성 방법을 소개하고 비교하고자 한다. [⁶⁸Ga]PSMA-11 주사액의 자동화 생산을 위해 ⁶⁸Ge/⁶⁸Ga generator 50 mCi(iThemba LABS, Johannesburg, South Africa), 주사기 펌프 NE-1000(New Era Pump System, New York, USA)을 사용하였으며, 자동 합성 장치는 비 카세트 방식의 TRACERlab FXN pro(GE Healthcare, Liege, Belgium)와 카세트 방식의 BIKBox(BIK THERAPEUTICS Inc., Seongnam-si, Republic of Korea)를 사용하였다. 0.6 N 염산 용액 6 mL의 주사기가 장착된 실린지 펌프를 ⁶⁸Ge/⁶⁸Ga generator의 inlet-line과 연결하고 outlet-line은 자동 합성 장치와 연결한 후 자동 합성장치와 동시에 작동하였으며, 2 mL/min의 속도로 ⁶⁸Ga을 용출하였다. 초기 약 1.7 mL은 waste vial로 용출 시켰고, 그 후 2.5 mL은 반응용기로 용출하여, 방사능 농도가 높은 2.5 mL의 용액만 표지 과정에 이용하였다. 반응 용액의 pH를 HEPES buffer 용액으로 조절한 후 전구체와 95 ℃에서 15분간 반응하였으며, C18 light 카트리지를 이용, 분리·정제 하였다. 50% 에탄올/생리식염수 희석액으로 최종 화합물을 용출하고 생리식염수를 추가한 후 멸균 필터 함으로써 제조를 완료하였다. 각각의 자동 합성 장치에서 제조된 [⁶⁸Ga] PSMA-11 주사액의 품질관리를 시행하고 장단점을 비교하였다. 총 합성 시간은 각각 25±3분(비 카세트 방식), 23±3분(카세트 방식)이 소요되었으며, 방사화학적 수율은 멸균 필터 후 비 카세트 방식이 65.5±5.7%(n=45, non-decay corrected), 카세트 방식이 61.6±4.8%(n=98, non-decay corrected)였다. 비 카세트 방식은 장비 세척과 시약 준비 시간으로 인해 합성 전 준비 시간이 약 120분 소요되었고, 카세트 방식은 세척과 시약 준비 과정이 없어 합성 전 준비 시간은 약 20분 소요되었다. 비 카세트 방식 자동 합성 방법은 방사화학적 수율과 비용적 측면에서 카세트 방식 대비 높은 장점을 가지나, 제조 준비 단계에서의 편의성과 장비 유지 보수 측면에서는 카세트 방식이 장점을 가진다.

The fractional synthesis rates(FSR) were measured with 2l-wk and 3l-wk-old broiler breeder pullets and hens to investigate the effect of sexual maturity on FSR. The FSR were obtained from chicken tissues and blood samples using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry(HPLC/MS). A L-l-13C, 15N -leucine saline solution was infused by bolus injection as a tracer into broiler breeder pullets in the experiment. A rapid HPLC/MS method was developed to measure the isotopic enrichments of leucine in plasma, tissue samples, and eggs. The enrichments of stable isotope leucine incorporated into protein and the enrichments of the stable isotope free leucine were measured in liver, breast muscle and blood samples. Two sets of experiments were conducted. In experiment one, 2l-wk-old, sexually immature broiler breeder pullets were divided into groups of three and blood samples were collected at 20 or 30 min intervals until 1.5 h from initial injection. The pullets were sacrificed in groups of three at varying time intervals for 7 h after injection. The liver, breast muscle and blood samples were removed for analysis. The FSR were estimated to be 8.7l%/day for liver, 4.06％/day for breast muscle, and 5.08％/day for blood samples in 30 minutes after injection from the enrichment ratios. In experiment two, sexually matured 3l-wk-old broiler breeder hens were assorted into groups of three and blood samples were obtained at 20 or 30 min intervals for 2 h. The FSR for blood samples were determined. The broiler breeder hens were sacrificed in groups of three at various time intervals until 7 h after injection and liver, breast muscle and blood samples were removed for analysis. The FSR were calculated to be 5.96％/day for liver. Eggs were collected from five chickens daily for 10 days after large bolus injection. The average of total enrichments of stable isotope in egg albumin was increased by 0.064% at 4 days after injection and was back to normal in 7 days.

Background: Antibiotic beads are used to treat local bacterial infections by delivering high drug concentrations to infected tissue. Objectives: This study examined the elution characteristics of metronidazole from metronidazole-calcium sulfate (MCa) and metronidazole-calcium-potassium sulfate (MCaK) beads over 20 days and the antibacterial efficacy of the beads after storage. Methods: The MCa and MCaK beads were prepared by mixing 250 mg of metronidazole and 10 g of calcium sulfate hemihydrate with water and a 3% potassium sulfate solution, respectively. The beads were placed in phosphate-buffered saline for the elution study. The metronidazole eluents were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography. The microstructures were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the antimicrobial activity was evaluated by a microbioassay. Results: For the 20-day study, the total amount of metronidazole released was greater in the MCa beads than in the MCaK beads by 6.61 ± 0.48 mg (89.11% ± 3.04%) and 4.65 ± 0.36 mg (73.11% ± 4.38%), respectively. The amounts of eluted drugs from the MCa and MCaK beads were higher than the minimum inhibitory concentration at 0.5 ㎍/mL against anaerobic bacteria at both 20 days and 14 days. SEM showed that calcium crystals on the outer surface had dissolved after elution, and thinner calcium crystals were prominent in the MCaK beads. The MCa and MCaK beads exhibited antibacterial activity after setting, followed by storage at room temperature or 4℃ for 21 days. Conclusions: The MCa beads could release more drug than the MCaK beads, but all eluted metronidazole amounts were effective in controlling bacterial infections. Both metronidazole beads could be stored at ambient temperature or in a refrigerator.

Titanium and its alloys are finding increasing use in medical devices and dental implants. The strong selling point of titanium is its resistance to the highly corrosive body fluids in which an implant must survive. This corrosion resistance is due to a tenacious passive oxide or film which exists on the metal's surface and renders it passive. Potentiodynamic polarization measurement is one of the most commonly used electro-chemical methods that have been applied to measure corrosion rates. And the potentiodynamic polarization test supplies detailed information such as open circuit, rupture, and passivation potential. Furthermore, it indicates the passive range and sensitivity to pitting corrosion. This study was designed to compare the corrosion resistance of the commonly used dental implant materials such as CP Ti, Ti-6A1-4V, Co-Cr-Mo alloy, and 316L stainless steel. And the effects of galvanic couples between titanium and the dental alloys were assessed for their useful-ness-as. materials for superstructure. The working electrode is the specimen , the reference electrode is a saturated calomel electrode (SCE), and the counter electrode is made of carbon. In $N_2-saturated$ 0.9% NaCl solutions, the potential scanning was performed starting from -800mV (SCE) and the scan rate was 1 mV/sec. At least three different polarization measurements were carried out for each material on separate specimen. The galvanic corrosion measurements were conducted in the zero-shunt ammeter with an implant supraconstruction surface ratio of 1:1. The contact current density was recorded over a 24-hour period. The results were as follows : 1. In potential-time curve, all specimens became increasingly more noble after immersion in the test solution and reached between -70mV and 50mV (SCE) respectively after 12 hours. 2. The Ti and Ti alloy in the saline solution were most resistant to corrosion. They showed the typical passive behavior which was exhibited over the entire experimental range. Therefore no breakdown potentials were observed. 3. Comparing the rupture potentials, Ti and Ti alloy had the high(:st value (because their break-down potentials were not observed in this study potential range ) followed by Co-Cr-Mo alloy and stainless steel (316L). So , the corrosion resistance of titanium was cecellent, Co-Cr-Mo alloy slightly inferior and stainless steel (316L) much less. 4. The contact current density sinks faster than any other galvanic couple in the case of Ti/gold alloy. 5. Ag-Pd alloy coupled with Ti yielded high current density in the early stage. Furthermore, Ti became anodic. 6. Ti/Ni-Cr alloy showed a relatively high galvanic current and a tendency to increase.

In feedlot cattle the abrupt change of diet from roughage to a large quantity of grain for the purpose to improve production often results in increased occurrence of rumen acidosis or acute carbohydrate encouragement enterotoxemia, bloats diarrhea liver abscess and laminitis or robot disease. The common management practice to control these problem is to increase the amount of concentrates in the diet in a stepwise manner until the animals are adapted to a high-grain ration. However this practice requires at least about 3 weeks adaptation period and specially prepared adaptation rations which contain various amount of concentrates. Present experiment was undertaken in order to findout the more simple and rapid adaptation method of cattle to a high grain ration. Nineteen Korean calves aging from four to six month were fed artifical hay (Youngchoun Chuk-Hyup, Korea) which contains 10% of concentrates or alfalfa and rye grass hays for two months and randomly alloted to three experimental groups and two control groups. The experimental group-1 was inoculated by stomach tube for two days with li500 ml/day of ruminal fluid fished from Korean beef cattle that had been previously adapted to a high-energy ration. The experimental group-2 was inoculated by trocalization for two days with the same ruminal fluid. The experimental group-3 was inoculated by trocalization with 1,500 ml/day of bacterial culture which contained 2$\times $10$^{9}$/m1 of Gram-negative bacteria derived from adapted luminal fluid. The two control groups were treated with normal saline solution by the same methods. All animals were fed high-energy ration that contained 80% of grain ad libitum for 30-74 days beginning on the third of the treatment. The effect of the inoculation on the adaptation was observed clinicopathologically with the following results; All of the experimental calves inoculated with the ruminal fluid or Gram-negative bacterial culture derived from adapted cattle did not show any signs of rumen acidosis or other related diseases, while most of the control calves did show diarrhea and bloat and a calf laminitis. The average daily weight gain and feed efficiency of experimental calves were slightly improved compared with control calves. Following the feeding of high-grain rational the pH of the ruminal fluid was lowered in both the experimental and control groups. However severe acidosis with the pH of below 5.0 was observed in only a control group-2. The protozoal number in ruminal fluid was markedly decreased during the high-grain feeding in both the experimental and control calves. However the decrease was mere severe in control calves compared with the experimental calves. The activation of the protozoa were completely disappeared within nine hours at the refrigerator temperature (4"C). No significant differences in heamatological and blood chemical values between the experimental and control calves were recognized. However in one control calf which showed clinically laminitis marked elevations of serum glutamic oxaloacetate transaminase and lactic dehydrogenase activities and a decrease of serum glucose level were observed. From these results it would be concluded the intraruminal transplantation of unadapted calves with the adapted ruminal fluid from cattle previously adapted to a high-energy ration prevents disease problem associated with high-grain feeding and improve weight gain and feed efficiency.ency.
