  • 초임계 이산화탄소 용매에서의 (벤질렌)삼페닐 인 일리드 화합물의 카르보닐 화합물과의 Wittig 반응을 연구하였다. 소량의 조용매 (THF, 5%)를 첨가한 이산화탄소 (24 mL 용기)에 녹인 (벤질렌)삼페닐 인 일리드 (약 1 mmol)를 여러 방향족 알데히드와 초임계 조건(80 $^{\circ}C$, 2,000 psi) 에서 2시간 반응시켜 올레핀 화합물을 좋은 수율로 얻을 수 있었다. 새로운 조건에서의 반응은 기존 용매 (THF)에서의 반응보다는 약간 느리게 나타났으나 생성물의 (E)- 와 (Z)-이성체 비율에 차이가 있었다. 두 이성체가 함께 생성되는 반응의 경우 (Z)-이성체의 비율이 증가하였다. 반면 t-butylcyclohexanone과 같은 케톤과의 반응은 두 조건에서 모두 낮은 전환을 보였다. 이 연구를 통하여 이산화탄소에서의 Wittig 반응이 초임계 조건에서 좋은 수율로 이루어지며 이 새로운 용매의 사용으로 반응선택성의 변화가 가능할 수 있다는 초기 결과를 얻었다. 이 결과는 Wittig 반응과 같은 유용한 유기반응을 친환경 용매 (이산화탄소)에서 수행할 수 있도록 전환하는데 좋은 자료가 될 수 있다고 본다.

  • 소나무재선충병(Bursaphelenchus xylophilus)은 한국, 일본, 그리고 중국과 같은 동아시아의 소나무류 산림에 심각한 피해를 유발시킨다. 재선충병에 의한 병해는 그 치료방법이 훈증, 소각외에는 거의 없기 때문에 감염목을 조기 탐지하여 그 피해가 주변 임목 및 임분에 확산되지 않도록 하는 것이 최선책이라 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 소나무재선충병 감염목과 비감염목의 분광반사율을 주기적으로 측정하여 감염목의 분광반사 특성을 구명하였다. 이를 위하여, 6월에서 10월까지 GER3700 spectroradiometer를 이용하여 감염목과 비감염목의 400 nm~2,500 nm 파장대의 분광반사값을 측정하였다. 측정된 값의 noise를 보정하기 위하여 cubic spline 보간법을 사용하였다. 그 결과, 대부분의 감염목들은 재선충 주입 후 2개월 이내에 적색(600 nm~700 nm) 그리고 중적외선(1,400 nm~1,500 nm) 파장대에서 분광반사값의 변화를 보였으나, 비감염목들의 분광반사값은 어느 파장대에서도 특별한 변화가 나타나지 않았다. 시기별로 감염목과 비감염목의 분광반사값 변화를 통계적으로 비교해 본 결과, 소나무재선충 주입 2달 후 적색 파장대역과 중적외선 파장대역에서 가장 빠르게 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였으나(p<0.05), 근적외선 파장대역에서는 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다(p>0.05). 따라서 적색과 중적외선 파장대역에서의 분광반사율 변화를 통해 소나무재선충병 감염목의 조기 탐지가 가능한 것으로 판단되었다.

  • This study was performed to establish an effective extraction method of pig placenta extract that could be used for a putative functional food supplement with immunomodulatory effects. In the present study, we used different temperatures (4, 37, 60, 80, and $100^{\circ}C$) and different solvents (chloroform, NaOH, and phosphate buffered saline [PBS]) to extract the pig placenta. Among the different placenta extracts yielded by the different extraction methods, placenta extract (PE) in PBS at $80^{\circ}C$ for 30 min (referred to as PE-PBS80) showed a significant increase of nitric oxide production of up to 22.97 ${\mu}M/10^5$ cells at a 1 mg/mL dose (p<0.05 ) in J774A.1 cells than other extracts and control tested. Using PE-PBS80, further animal challenges were performed to identify the immune-enhanced effects. As a result, orally administered PE-PBS80 showed a significant increase in blood T and B cell activities and immunoglobulin (IgG and IgM) production. IgG and IgM levels increased to 41.53 mg/mL at a 20 mg dose on day 7 and to 27.38 mg/mL at a 10 mg dose on day 14, respectively (p<0.05). Furthermore, PE-PBS80 was also able to significantly enhance the immune modulator cytokine levels (p<0.05) compared to the control and vehicle treatments. Among the evaluated cytokines, the tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ (TNF-${\alpha}$) level increased to 28.89 pg/mL at extract doses of 20 and 50 mg, the interleukin-$1{\beta}$ (IL-$1{\beta}$) level increased to 21.52 pg/mL at extract doses of 10, 20, 50 and 75 mg and the interferon (IFN)-${\gamma}$ level increased to 18.24 pg/mL at extract doses of 10, 20, and 50 mg. Therefore, this study presents an effective method for extracting pig placenta extracts and also demonstrates that pig placenta extracts had significant immunomodulatory effects not only at the cellular level but also in a mouse model, suggesting that this material could be used as an excellent candidate functional food supplement.

  • Korean Red Ginseng (KRG) has been reported to exert anticancer, anti-oxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects. However, there has been no report on the effect of KRG on skin pigmentation. In this study, we investigated the inhibitory effect of KRG on melanocyte proliferation. KRG extract (KRGE) at different concentrations had no effect on melanin synthesis in melan-A melanocytes. Saponin of KRG (SKRG) inhibited melanin content to 80% of the control at 100 ppm. Keratinocyte-derived factors induced by UV-irradiation were reported to stimulate melanogenesis, differentiation, proliferation, and dendrite formation. In this study, treatment of melan-A melanocytes with conditioned media from UV-irradiated SP-1 keratinocytes increased melanocyte proliferation. When UV-irradiated SP-1 keratinocytes were treated with KRGE or SKRG, the increase of melanocyte proliferation by the conditioned media was blocked. Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) was produced and released from UV-irradiated keratinocytes. This factor has been reported to be involved in regulating the proliferation and differentiation of epidermal melanocytes. In this study, GM-CSF was significantly increased in SP-1 keratinocytes by UVB irradiation ($30mJ/cm^2$), and the proliferation of melan-A melanocytes increased significantly by GM-CSF treatment. In addition, the proliferative effect of keratinocyte-conditioned media on melan-A melanocytes was blocked by anti-GM-CSF treatment. KRGE or SKRG treatment decreased the expression of GM-CSF in SP-1 keratinocytes induced by UVB irradiation. These results demonstrate that UV irradiation induced GM-CSF expression in keratinocytes and KRGE or SKRG inhibited its expression. Therefore, KRG could be a good candidate for regulating UV-induced melanocyte proliferation.

  • 본 연구에서는 경기도내 유통되고 있는 심해성 어류 50건을 대상으로 수은, 메틸수은의 오염도 및 셀레늄의 함량을 알아보았다. 금아말감법의 수은분석기, ICP-MS를 사용하여 측정하였으며 각 항목별 평균함량은 수은 0.7647 mg/kg (0.0182-5.3620), 메틸수은 0.0764 mg/kg (0.0096-0.8750), 셀레늄 0.4728 mg/kg(0.1075-3.5100)으로 메틸수은은 50건 모두 기준규격(1.0 mg/kg) 이하로 나타났다. 셀레늄은 수은과 결합하여 수은의 독성을 감소시키는 것으로 알려져 있으며, 본 연구과제에서는 일일평균섭취량이 3.3 ㎍/kg으로 일일권장량보다 낮은 수치였다. 유해물질인 수은과 메틸수은은 JECFA에서 설정한 PTWI의 5.7%, 1.8%로 조사되었다. 따라서 도내에서 유통되는 심해성 어류의 수은, 메틸수은과 같은 위해중금속은 안전한 것으로 나타났지만 지속적 모니터링이 필요하다고 판단된다.

  • Objectives : The optimal treatment of craniopharyngioma is controversial. Despite recent advances in microsurgical management, complete surgical removal of craniopharyngioma remains very difficult. Radiation added to surgery is effective, but radiation therapy resulted in untoward side effect in young patient. Gamma knife radiosurgery offers the theoretical advantage of a reduced radiation dose to surrounding structures during the treatment of residual or recurrent craniopharyngioma compared with fractionated radiotheraphy. We described retrospective analysis of tumor size and clinical symptoms of patients after gamma knife radiosurgery in residual or recurrent craniopharyngioma were performed. Material and Methods : From September 1990 to January 2000, 18 patients of craniopharyngioma were treated by gamma knife radiosurgery. All patient had undergone surgery, but residual or recurrent tumor was found and all of them treated postoperative gamma knife radiosurgery. The mean age was 19(from 6 to 66) and male to female ratio was 10 to 8 and 8 patients were below 15 years old. In young age group(below age 15), the average volume of the tumor was $2904.8mm^3$ and mean maximal gamma knife dose was 34.9Gy. In old age group(older than 15), the average volume of the tumor was $2590.4mm^3$ and mean maximal gamma knife dose was 45.2Gy. The size of the tumor was average $2730.1mm^3$($88-12000mm^3$), mean average radiation dose was 40.7Gy and the mean prescription dose was 17.6 Gy(4-35Gy) delivered to a median prescription 50.7% isodose. Results : The follow up was from 1 year to 9 years(mean 59.1 months) after gamma knife radiosurgery. The tumor was controlled in 13(72.2%) patients. The tumor decreased in 9 patients and not changed in 4 patients. The tumor size increased in 4(22.2%) patients during follow up period. In two cases the tumor size increased because of its cystic portion was increased, but their solid portion of the tumor was not changed. In another two patients, the solid portion of the tumor was increased. So, one patient underwent reoperation and the other patient underwent operation and repeated gamma knife radiosurgery. The tumor recurred in one case(5.6%) that is a outside of irradiated site. The presenting symptoms were improved in 4 patients(improved visual acuity in 1, controlled increased intracranial presure sign in 3 patients). In one case, visual acuity decreased after gamma knife radiosurgery. The endocrine symptoms were not influenced by gamma knife radiosurgery. Conclusion : Craniopharyngioma can be treated successfully by gamma knife radiosurgery. Causes of the tumor regrowth are inadequate dose planning because of postoperatively poor margination of the tumor, close approximation of optic nerve and residual tumors outside the target lesion. Recurrence can develop 4 years after gamma knife radiosurgery. Volume is important, but the accurate targeting is more important to prevent tumor recurrence. If the tumor definition is not clear during planning gamma knife surgery, long-term image follow up is required.

  • 수리해석 모형들은 하천의 흐름에 대한 연구에 이용되거나, 수공구조물의 설계 및 하천의 설계 등 실무에 널리 사용되고 있다. 이들 수리해석 모형은 실측자료를 통한 보정이 필요하나, 홍수시 유속을 측정하는 것 자체가 위험한 작업이기 때문에 홍수시 하천의 2차원 유속분포에 대한 실측자료가 전무한 실정이다. 이러한 이유로 2차원 수치모형의 결과는 보통 몇 개 지점의 실측된 자료를 비교함으로써 보정 및 검증을 실시하고 있다. 더욱이 설계 홍수량에 대한 모형의 보정은 1차원 모형인 HEC-RAS의 모의결과를 이용하여 보정하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 일본의 토네강(Tone river)에서 홍수시 촬영한 항공사진을 분석하여 추출한 유속벡터 자료를 이용하여 하천설계 실무 및 연구 등에 널리 사용되어지고 있는 2차원 수치모형인 RAMS의 RAM2, SMS의 RMA2와 1차원 모형인 HEC-RAS 모형의 검증을 실시하였다. 또한, HEC-RAS결과를 이용한 2차원 모형의 보정에 대한 타당성을 검토하였다. 검토결과, HEC-RAS 및 RAM2, RMA2 모형의 수위모의 결과 모두 관측점의 수위와 비슷한 결과을 보이고 있었으나, 유속모의의 경우 고수부지에서의 2차원 모형에 의한 유속결과와 항공사진으로부터 추출된 유속결과가 차이를 보이고 있었다. 또한, 1차원 모형에 의한 결과와 항공사진으로부터 추출된 유속장을 단면평균한 유속과 비교한 결과 큰 오차가 발생하고 있는 것으로 나타났다.

  • Background: Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) is regarded as a potential biomarker for identifying eosinophilic inflammation. We aimed to evaluate the clinical implication of FeNO and its influence on inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) prescription rate in Korean chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. Methods: FeNO level and its association with clinical features were analyzed. Changes in the prescription rate of ICS before and after FeNO measurement were identified. Results: A total of 160 COPD patients were divided into increased (≥25 parts per billion [ppb], n=74) and normal (<25 ppb, n=86) FeNO groups according to the recommendations from the American Thoracic Society. Compared with the normal FeNO group, the adjusted odds ratio for having history of asthma without wheezing and with wheezing in the increased FeNO group were 2.96 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.40-6.29) and 4.24 (95% CI, 1.37-13.08), respectively. Only 21 out of 74 patients (28.4%) with increased FeNO prescribed ICS-containing inhaler and 18 of 86 patients (20.9%) with normal FeNO were given ICS-containing inhaler. Previous exacerbation, asthma, and wheezing were the major factors to maintain ICS at normal FeNO level and not to initiate ICS at increased FeNO level. Conclusion: Increased FeNO was associated with the history of asthma irrespective of wheezing. However, FeNO seemed to play a subsidiary role in the use of ICS-containing inhalers in real-world clinics, which was determined with prior exacerbation and clinical features suggesting Th2 inflammation.

  • Foodborne illness due to the consumption of contaminated raw strawberries is a continuing food safety concern. This study investigated and evaluated contamination levels of bacteria on strawberries at farms stage to evaluate potential hazards associated with fresh strawberries. A total of 315 samples, 105 samples from 5 sampling sites (A to E) of 21 farms and 210 samples from 1 sampling site of 6 farms, was collected every month for four months and analyzed to enumerate aerobic bacterial counts, Coliforms/E. coli, Bacillus cereus and Staphylococcus aureus. In addition, the prevalence study of five pathogens (S. aureus, E. coli, E. coli O157:H7, Salmonella spp. and Listeria monocytogenes) was performed on each sample. Aerobic bacterial counts ranged from 0.48 to 6.36 Log CFU/g, with the highest bacterial cell counts recorded for D and E sites. Coliforms were detected in 71 samples (22.5%) with a minimum of 0.48 cfu/g and a maximum of more than 4 Log CFU/g. B. cereus was detected in 98 samples (31.1%) among total samples analyzed. S. aureus was detected in 2 samples with a minimum of 0.48 Log CFU/g and a maximum of 1.38 Log CFU/g. E. coli, E. coli O157:H7, Salmonella spp. and L. monocytogenes were not isolated from any of the samples. The microbial contamination levels of strawberries determined in this study may be used as the fundamental data for microbiological risk assessment.

  • 진해만 해양환경 평가를 위한 해저지하수의 중요성을 이해하기 위하여 1999년 8월과 2000년 1월 진해 내만에서부터 외만까지 포함된 총 8개의 정점들의 저층수의 라돈을 분석하였다. 일반적으로 지하수에 함유된 라돈-222 농도는 표층수보다 약 2-4 order 높기 때문에 해저지하수 누출 여부를 추적하는데 상당히 유용한 추적자로 사용할 수 있다. 저층수의 라돈-222 농도는 33~182 dpm/100kg 범위로서 내만에서 100 dpm/100kg 이상의 높은 값이 관측되었다. 그러나 라돈-222의 어미핵종인 라듐-226 농도는 정점간의 큰 차이는 보이지 않았다. 또한 동일 정점의 라돈-222 농도는 계절별로 차이를 보였다. 이것은 라돈-222의 주 공급원은 해저퇴적물로부터가 아니라 강수량 차이에 의한 해저지하수 누출량에 기인된다는 것을 의미한다. 진해만 연안에 위치한 구산면 원전 육상 지하수의 Cl/sup -/과 SO/sub 4//sup 2-/ 함량은 각각 1,312, 369 ppm으로서 해수의 영향을 간접적으로 받고 있음을 보여준다. 이는 상대적으로 주변 육상지하수가 인근 해수에 영향을 줄 수 있다는 것을 의미한다. 따라서 내만 저층수의 높은 라돈-222 농도는 해저지하수 누출에 의한 결과로 볼 수 있다. 특히 진해만 주변 육상지하수의 평균 용존무기영양염 농도 (질산이온>174 μN, 규산>262 μM)는 진해만 해수 농도보다 월등히 높기 때문에 하천과 더불어 또다른 중요한 영양염 공급원으로서 작용할 수 있다. 따라서 정확한 진해만 생지화학적 과정을 추정하기 위해서 해저지하수 방출수에 대한 집중적인 연구가 필요하다.
