The Present study attempted to analyze the fate of CO diffused into the circulating blood through the alveoli. Dogs were induced to CO poisoning by rebreathing CO gas mixture contained in Krog's spirometer, by closed circuit method, for 60 minutes. The spirometer was filled initially with 282 ml of CO and 20 liters of air and oxygen, so the composition of gases were arranged as 1.4% in CO and 50% in $O_2$ at the begining of the rebreathing. Oxygen was added corresponding to the utilization of $O_2$ by the animal in proceeding of the experiment. At 60th minutes of CO rebreathing, the concentration of CO in arterial blood and in mixed venous blood were analysed and compared with each other after the CO contents were corrected with the hematocrit measured in the arterial and mixed venous blood. The distribution of CO gas to other tissues was estimated by the analysis of CO diffused into the cystic bile and into the peritoneal gas pocket which was formed by injection of 300 ml air into the peritoneal cavity prior to the CO gas rebreathing. The blood volume was measured by dilution method using $^{51}Chromium$ tagged red cells. CO amount vanished in the animal body was calculated by subtraction of total CO content in blood stream and the CO remained in closed circuit breathing system from the CO amount given to the breathing system at the begining of the experiment. Results obtained are summarized as follows: 1. The content of CO corrected by the hematocrit value was slightly less in mixed venous blood than in arterial blood. The amount of CO diffused into the cystic bile and into the peritoneal cavity was averaged to 0.1% and 0.4% of the CO amount in 100 ml of blood, respectively. 2. For 60 minutes of CO rebreathing, CO-hemoglobin saturation reached about 77% at the 60th minutes, CO amount vanished in the experimental animal averaged 36.1 ml/dog/hr., or 21% of the total CO volume in the blood stream. The average vanishing rate of CO during 60 minutes of CO rebreathing per kg of body weight was 2.71 ml/hr. Production of CO measured in ten dogs under hypoxic condition averaged 0.023 ml/kg/hr. The major part of the CO vanished in the dogs seemed to be oxidized to $CO_2$ by various tissues of the animal. The conclusion might be delivered as such oxidation of CO to $CO_2$ by animal tissues can play a role in part of the process of recovery and protection of animal from CO-poisoning.

Background: Lumbar zygapophysial joints are a common source of chronic lower back pain and radiofrequency thermocoagulation (RF) of the medial branches (MB) has been shown to be effective at providing substantial pain relief for chronic low back pain. Therefore, we carried out this study to determine the short term outcomes and prognostic factors of RF on the MB of patients with lumbar facet syndrome. Methods: We performed RF in fourteen patients who showed greater than 80% pain relief up to three times after a diagnostic MB block was conducted using 0.3 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine. Using 10 cm curved electrodes with 10-mm active tip, a 60 second, $80^{\circ}C$ lesion was made after electrical stimulation at 50 Hz for sensory and 2 Hz for motor nerve testing. The degree of pain relief was then assessed after 2 weeks, and again after 3 months using a visual analog scale (VAS) and a four point Likert scale. The outcome was regarded as 'success' if at least a 50% reduction in the VAS was observed. Possible prognostic factors between the two groups were also evaluated Results: The success rate was 71.4% (10/14) after three months of follow-up. However, there were transient complications, such as neuritis like syndrome, in 4 patients. In addition, short symptom duration and low minimal voltage (< 0.4 V) for sensory stimulation were shown to be the relevant prognostic factors for a successful outcome. Conclusions: RF may be an alternative to repeated MB block or intraarticular injection for palliation of lumbar facet syndrome. For better outcomes, early diagnosis and strict patient selection should be coupled with efforts to avoid anatomically incorrect RF.

탄산칼슘과 고분자 재료가 배합되면 서로의 계면에 대한 친화성이 결여되어 분산성이 저하하기 때문에 이를 위해 탄산칼슘을 표면처리를 하지만 이는 분체자신의 표면에너지를 저하시키는 역효과의 가능성도 있다. 따라서 표면처리를 하지 않아도 미세한 1차 입자의 상태로 유지하는 초미립체(입경 0.02~0.09$mu extrm{m}$) 입자의 콜로이드형 탄산칼슘 합성에 대한 기술이 절실히 요구되나 합성시 목적입도가 평균입도 범주에 속하고 또 그 분포가 좁아야 함이 핵심요소기술이 되는데 입경제어에 대한 인자 규명 및 최적 조건의 항구적인 합성조건에 대한 연구가 전혀 수행되지 못한 형편이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 수산화칼슘 현탁액에 탄산가스를 접촉시키는 기-액접촉방식의 CMSMPR(Continuous Mixed Suspension Mixed Product Removal)법을 이용하여 콜로이드형 탄산칼슘 합성을 목적으로 입방형 탄산칼슘과 함께 제어함으로 두 종류의 침강성 탄산캄슘을 최적 합성화 할 수 있었다. 수산화칼슘 현탁액 제조는$ 1100^{\circ}C$에서 수산화칼슘을 2시간 소성을 시켜 제조한 산화칼슘을 증류수에 600rpm으로 30분간 수화시킨 반응현탁액 2ι를 반응온도 $15^{\circ}C$와 반응교반속도 600rpm, 탄산가스 주입속도 1ι/min으로 모든 조건을 고정시키고 현탁액에 대한 산화칼슘의 농도변화만으로 입방형(0.2~0.9$\mu\textrm{m}$)과 콜로이드형($0.02~0.09\mu\textrm{m}$)을 합성하였고 이에 대한 반응현탁액의 농도 최적조건이 각각 5wt%와 2.5wt%임을 확인하였다. 결국 입경제어의 주요 인자가 현탁액의 농도임을 알았고 합성한 탄산칼슘은 Zeta sizer를 통해 측정하여 평균입도가 입방형은 223.4nm(0.223$\mu\textrm{m}$)와 콜로이드형 93.6nm(0.093$\mu\textrm{m}$)임을 확인하여 $H_2O$ 반응계에서 안정적인 균일입도제어를 할 수 있었다.

Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi. (SBGE) is known to be antioxidant effect. In addition of the effects, we further investigated the SBGE on the antioxidant effect on a renal cortical slices cell and kidney protecting effects. The results were as follows. 1 When renal cortical slices separated from a rabbit's kidney were treated with 1mM tert-Butylhydroperoxide (t-BHP) in the presence of SBGE. SBGE significant prevented t-BHP induced increase in lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release and lipid peroxidation. 2. When renal cortical slices separated from a rabbit's kidney were treated with oxidant $300{\mu}M$ cisplatin in the presence of SBGE. SBGE significant prevented cisplatin-induced increase in LDH release and lipid peroxidation. 3. Pretreatment with 0.1g/kg SBGE for seven day and treatment with 5 mg/kg cisplatin by the intraperitoneal injection The results were that the pretreatment group with SBGE showed a significant decrease in lipid peroxidation, increase in clearance rate of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine in the kidney than the administering single agent group of cisplatin. and pretreatment group with SBGE showed intact microvillus of proximal tubule and no contraction of rumen, it was a similar result with normal group. With the results SBGE showed to be highly effective on antioxidant effect and cellular protection activity against cisplatin that was a toxic agent on a kidney. Therefore, SBGE is considered to have protective effective on a disordered kidney or kidney diseases such as nephritis or renal failure that cause tissue damages in a kidney.

Most of the diagnostic methods currently used for the detection of neoplastic masses provide indirect evidence. To obtain greater specificity in the interpretation of neoplasias by in vivo methods, the immunological approach appears to be most promising. Two problems that interfered with progress in this field were the lack of tumor specific antigen and the lack of well-defined and reproducible antibodies. To improve the sensitivity and specificity of radioimmunoscintigraphy as a technique for tumor localization, the use of monoclonal antibodies, fragments of antibodies and single photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) are reasonable. The obvious advantages of monoclonal antibodies are their homogeneity, their specificity for the immunizing antigen and the reaction with a single determinant-thus no large immunecomplexes with antigen are formed. Monoclonal antibody technique has recently provided an opportunity to reevaluate the role of nuclear medicine for the diagnosis of malignant diseases by using the immunological approach. Out first results by means of radioimmunoscintigraphy of CEA and CA 19-9 producing tumors using a cocktail of fragments F $(ab')_2$, of mocolonal antibodies to CA 19-9 and CEA labeled with $^{131}I$ (IMACIS-1) are reported. The aims of this investigation was to evaluate the role of immunoscintigraphy in patients with colorectal and other cancers for diagnosis of local recurrences and metastasis. This report contains results of the first 8 colorectal and pancreas cancer patients with the elevation of the level of serum CEA and/or CA 19-9. IMACIS-1 was injected intravenously during 30 minutes in 100 ml saline solution after skin test. Planar scintigrams were recorded 3, 5 and 7 days after the injection of the IMACIS-1. Anterior, lateral and posterior views of the liver as well as anterior and posterior views of the pelvis were obtained in each patients as an $^{131}I-antibody$ image. We were able to localize exactly the malignant process with the double-nuclide double-compound $^{99m}Tc\;^{131}I$ (Tc+l) scintigrams. In Tc & I double-nuclide scintigraphy, computer subtraction display provided more clear localization of the tumor. We compared the results of radioimmunoscintigraphy with CT, ultrasonograms, conventional scintigrams. The results were as follows: 1) The sensitivity and specificity of radioimmunoscintigraphy using the fragments $F(ab')_2$ of the cocktails of CEA and CA 19-9 monoclonal antibodies were 80% and 100% respectively. 2) Tumor detection rate was not proportionated to the level of serum tumor markets. 3) Second tracer technique was essential for tumor localization as an anatomic landmark using double-nuclide scintigraphy. 4) A slow infusion of the antibodies was necessary to prevent the formation of large immune complexes. 5) Tumor/non-tumor radioactivity was most elevated at 7 days delayed imaging. 6) Using planar scintigraphic technique of $^{131}I$ labeled monoclonal antibodies are possible for imaging most of the tumors.

실내식물 9종의 근권부 하이드볼 배지에서 배양된 세균집단이 공기중 벤젠과 같은 휘발성 유기화합물의 제거효과에 미치는 영향이 조사되었다. 여러 식물 근권부의 배양토에서 배양된 세균 집단은 벤젠을 제거할 수 있었는데, $Spathiphyllum$ $wallisii$ Regel, $Pachira$ $aquatica$, $Ficus$ $elastica$, $Dieffenbachia$ sp. 'Marrianne' Hort., $Chamaedorea$ $elegans$ 식물들은 벤젠의 초기농도를 1.000으로 기준하였을 때, 세균 집단이 전혀 없는 배지의 대조구 초기 농도 대비 잔류율이 0.596이었으나 상기 언급한 식물들은 0.741-1.000으로서 벤젠의 농도를 현저히 감소시켰다(LSD, $P$=0.05). 이와 같은 경향은 식물의 종류에 따라 차이는 있었지만 톨루엔의 경우에도 비슷하게 나타났다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 $P.$ $aquatic$ 근권부의 배양토로부터 배양된 세균 집단을 $P.$ $aquatica$, $F.$ $elastica$, $S.$ $podophyllum$에 접종하였을 때 접종하지 않은 식물들에 비하여 벤젠과 톨루엔을 현저히 제거하는 효과가 나타나, 근권부의 미생물 집단을 이용하여 공기 중 휘발성 유기화합물(VOC)을 제거할 수 있음을 보여 주었다.
