A 11-year-old neutered male Maltese dog was vaccinated with a rabies vaccine (Rabisin^®, Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbH, Germany) subcutaneously at a local animal hospital. One hour after vaccination, purpura with edema was observed at the injection site and severe thrombocytopenia (0 K/μL) was noted on a complete blood count (CBC). No specific findings were found in serum chemistry, electrolyte, blood gas analysis, and coagulation tests. The patient was hospitalized and administered antihemorrhagic agents (vitamin K, desmopressin), antihistamines (chlorpheniramine) and corticosteroids (methylprednisolone sodium succinate). On a repeat CBC, mild anemia had developed, thrombocytopenia was still noted, and autoagglutination was observed on a saline agglutination test (SAT). A polymerase chain reaction panel for infectious agents (e.g., Babesia spp.) was negative. The diagnosis was secondary immune-mediated thrombocytopenia (IMT) with immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA) associated with vaccination. Therefore, the immunosuppressants (prednisolone, and mycophenolate mofetil) were administered. Six days after drug administration, new lesion was not observed, and the previous lesions were significantly improved. It gradually improved and 4 weeks after hematocrit and platelet recovered to normal levels. It was maintained for 6 months without recurrence of related symptoms. Based on patient's history and test results, the patient was diagnosed with Evans' syndrome associated with rabies vaccine.

Domestic sewerage treatment plant is operated by activated sludge method and its modified method by using microorganism. In most cases, a method of using microorganism is directly controlled by the operator based on individual judgment through factors of DO, pH and ORP. In addition, under aerobic condition in bioreactor, energy consumption including excessive air injection is learned to be somewhat plenty. In order to solve this problem, in most of the process, improvement of internal recycling and activated environmental factor of microorganism were researched extensively. However, as factors are changed depending on various conditions, it is not sufficient as an indicator of judgment. As such, a research on operation of bioreactor that measures metabolic change in short time by directly measuring activated condition of microorganism using NADH fluorometer is required in reality.It is considered that the method like this could supplement problem of energy consumption being occurred in the existing treatment method and operational optimization of bioreactor would be enabled by controlling optimal air volume. Therefore, in this study, in order to obtain optimal operational indicator of bioreactor, proper air volume control test was performed and through batch test and site evaluation, possibility of NADH sensor being utilized as operational control indicator of bioreactor is intended to be analyzed. In order to compare with measured value, DO, ORP that are operational control indicator of existing bioreactor were used. As MLSS concentration was increased through batch test, NADH value was increased and site evaluation also showed similar tendency to batch test. Resultantly, it could be confirmed that changing level of NADH fluorometer was a sensor that could measure bioreactor condition effectively and optimized scale of bioreactor is considered to be utilized.

In-situ Air sparging (IAS) is a groundwater remediation technique, in which organic contaminants volatilize into air form the saturated to vadose zone. This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of sludge and soil microbial community structure on air sparging of Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) contaminated groundwater soils. In the laboratory, diesel (10,000 mg TPH/kg) contaminated saturated soil. The Air was injected in intermittent (Q=1500 mL/min, 10 minute injection and 10 minute idle) modes. For Terminal-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis of eubacterial communities in sludge of wastewater treatment plants and soil of experiment site, the 16S rDNA was amplified by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) from the sludge and the soil. The obtained 16S rDNA fragments were digested with Msp I and separated by electrophoresis gel. We found various sequence types for experiment with sludge soil samples that were closely related to Agrococcus, Flavobacterium, Thermoanaerobacter, Flexibacter and Shewanella, etc, in the clone library. The results of the present study suggests that T-RFLP method may be applied as a useful tool for the monitoring in the TPH contaminated soil the fate of microorganisms in natural microbial community.

Hot air sparging is a groundwater remediation technique, in which organic contaminants volatilized into hot air from the saturated to vadose zone. In the laboratory diesel (10,000 mg TPH/kg) was spiked in contaminated saturated aquifer soil. The hot air ($34.9{\pm}2.7^{\circ}C$) was injected in intermittent (Q=1,500 mL/min, 10 minute injection and 10 minute idle) modes. We performed microcosm tests using the groundwater samples to assess TPH reductive remediation activity. For Terminal-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis of eubacterial communities in sludge of wastewater treatment plants and soil of experiment site, the 16S rDNA was amplified by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) from the sludge and the soil. The obtained 16S rDNA fragments were digested with Msp I and separated by electrophoresis gel. We found various sequence types for hot air sparging experiment with sludge soil samples that were closely related to Bacillus (149 bp, Firmicutes), Methlobacterium (149 bp, Euryarchaeotes), Pseudomonas (492 bp, ${\gamma}$-Proteobacteria), etc., in the clone library. In this study we find that TPH-water was reduced to 78.9% of the initial value in this experiment aquifer. The results of the present study suggests that T-RFLP method may be applied as a useful tool for the monitoring in the TPH contaminated soil fate of microorganisms in natural microbial community.

Background: Vitamin C is an essential nutrient, taken as a daily supplement by many people. Recently, high-dose vitamin C is considered as a therapeutic regimen in some clinical situations. Until now, few studies have been done with the effects of high-dose vitamin C on the immune response. Methods: In this experiment, the effects of high-dose vitamin C on cell-mediated immune response in immunologically competent mice were evaluated. After intraperitoneal injection of 2.5, 5, or 10 mg/day of vitamin C for 10 days, delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) was provoked against DNFB in the pinnae as a model for cell-mediated immune response. Severity of DTH reaction was evaluated as the thickness of pinnae, and the vitamin C levels were measured in the serum, liver, kidney, lung, pinnae, and splenocytes. Results: After challenge, the thickness increased at its peak on the $2^{nd}$ day in all groups. On the first day, the pinnae were thicker in the injected groups than in the control. On the contrary, the increment of the pinnae thickness was attenuated and the number of cells infiltrated in the site of DTH decreased proportionately to the amount of vitamin C administered from the second day on. With vitamin C exogenously given, the serum level peaked at 30 min after injection, and returned abruptly to its basal level without accumulation. However, it accumulated in the liver, kidney, and especially in the pinnae inflamed and splenopcytes, proportionately to the amount administered. Conclusion: Based on these results, it is suggested that, in one hand, exogenously administered high-dose vitamin C accumulated in the splenocytes and presumably changed the function of them resulting in the augmented cell-mediated immune response, as was revealed in the first day of DTH reaction. On the other hand, it seems likely that the vitamin C also showed anti-inflammatory effects.

As the target area of this study, the coal mine site of Dongwon Sabuk mine.,ltd. is located in the remote mountainous region. To purify the acid mine water contaminated with heavy metals, a pilot-scale plant was built at the surrounded area of a mine shaft and operated to simulate active treatment system that could not only possibly setup the facility in a small available area, but also has a high efficiency. According to the various conditions of basin sequence, existence of sludge return, and lime injection position, six different types of treatment series were investigated in terms of treatment efficiency. As a result, the aluminum concentrations of the most effluents were in the range of 0.005~0.030 mg/L, which was too low to compare. The manganese concentration in the treated water were in the range of 3~9 mg/L, not following any regular trend. As found in the results of iron concentration, the case of addition of oxidation and sludge return steps showed higher efficiency than the others. As a standpoint of the installation of full-scale physicochemical treatment facility, the experimental results showed that the batch of oxidation and high density sludge return processes are existed and neutralization was followed by oxidation, had a stable treatment efficiency.

본 연구에서는 지하수내의 TCE 오염물질을 과망간산을 이용하여 산화분해할 경우의 반응율에 대하여 평가하였다. 또한 최적의 산화제 주입량 결정을 위하여 TCE뿐만 아니라 지하수 대수층 물질에 의한 과망간산의 소모율에 대한 실험을 수행하였다. 대수층 물질이 없는 경우에 과망간산에 의한 TCE의 분해는 효과적으로 이루어졌으며 500 mg/L의 과망간산 농도에서 $k_{obs}=5.24{\times}10^{-3}s^{-1}$의 유사 1차반응계수를 얻었다. TCE와 과망간산에 대하여 각각 1차반응, 전체적으로는 2차반응을 나타내었다. 이때의 반응계수는 $k=0.65{\pm}0.08M^{-1}s^{-1}$였다. 반면 대수층 물질 자체는 산화제인 과망간산과 활발한 반응을 하여 상당한 소모효과를 나타내었으며 이는 대수층 물질내에 존재하는 금속산화물에 의한 것이라 판단된다.

Objective : There are many reports that acupuncture has thermoregulatory effects on human and animals. To investigate the effect and mechanism of antipyretic action of acupuncture, we observed the body temperature and cytokine expressions in the hypothalamus of rats. Methods : Lipopolysaccharide (LPS, i.p., 2.5mg/kg) was injected to conscious rats (Sprague-Dawley, male, n=4l) to cause hyperthermia and simple needling (stainless steel, 0.25 mm o.d., 5 mm insertion for 10 sec with no manipulation) was performed bilaterally with the measurement of rectal temperature. Next, we sacrificed rats to remove brain and determined the level of mRNA for interleukin-6 (IL-6), $interleukin-1{\beta}{\;}(IL-1{\beta})$, interleukin-2 (IL-2) and $interferon-{\gamma}{\;}(IFN-{\gamma})$ in the hypothalamus by using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Resul1s : Needling on forepaw (acupoint HT8) and needling on hindpaw (acupoint BL66 and acupoint LR2) significantly inhibited LPS-induced fever of rats (P<0.01, 10 min after treatment respectively), but same treatment on proximal tail (non-acupoint) did not cause any change on fever. The levels of IL-6 and $IL-1{\beta}$ mRNA in the hypothalamus was significantly enhanced by LPS-injection, while the level of IL-6 and $IL-1{\beta}$ mRNA was markedly reduced after treatment on BL66 (P<0.01). Treatment on forepaw reduced it slightly, but not significantly. Equivalent stimulation on proximal tail did not cause any changes. Conclusions : Our results indicate that acupuncture stimulation on various body parts has differential thermoregulatory effects on LPS-induced fever of rats with site-specificity. And, we suggest that its antipyretic action might be accompanied with the suppression of hypothalamic production of pro-inflammatory cytokine of immune system, IL-6 and $IL-1{\beta}$.

국내 육상 이산화탄소 지중저장 후보지 중 하나로 거론되고 있는 경상분지 사암에 대하여 초임계$CO_2$ 주입에 의한 사암의 용해반응을 규명하는 실내 실험을 실시하였다. 초임계$CO_2$로 존재하는 지중저장 온도/압력조건(100 bar와 $50^{\circ}C$)을 재현한 스테인레스 셀(용량 110 ml) 내부에 지하수를 주입한 후, 공극률이 다른 3 종류의 경상분지 사암 시료에 대하여 슬랩으로 제작하여 표면을 폴리싱한 후 고압셀 하부에 고정시켜 지하수에 잠기게 하였으며, 초임계$CO_2$를 주입한 후 60 일 동안 지하수 용존 이온 농도 변화, 질량 변화, 광물의 평균 표면 거칠기 변화를 측정하였다. 사암의 물성 변화 실험에서는 채취한 3 종류의 경상분지 사암들을 원통형 코어 형태로 가공하여 대형 고온고압탱크(2 liter 용량)에 고정시켜 30 일 동안 반응 시킨 후 공극률, 건조밀도, 탄성파 속도, 일축압축강도 등을 측정하여 용해반응에 의한 사암의 물성변화를 규명하였다. 반응 시간에 따른 사암 코어의 무게를 측정하여 질량 변화에 따른 1차 용해반응 상수값($k_d$)을 계산하였으며, 이 용해상수를 이용하여 단위면적($cm^2$) 당 1 g의 사암시료가 완전히 용해되는데 걸리는 용해시간을 계산하였다. 사암 슬랩을 이용한 지중저장 조건에서 초임계$CO_2$-사암-지하수 반응 실험 결과 $Ca^{2+}$, $Na^+$의 용해반응이 활발하게 일어나는 것으로 나타나, 이들 함량이 높은 사장석, 방해석 등을 중심으로 사암의 용해반응이 일어남을 알 수 있었으며, 반응 30 일 후 초기 A사암 슬랩 무게의 0.66%가 반응에 의해 용해되었다. 경상분지 사암의 물성 변화 실험 결과, $CO_2$ 반응 30 일 동안 B사암과 C사암의 공극률은 초기 공극률 기준 16.2%와 7.4% 증가하는 반면, 건조밀도, 탄성파 속도 그리고 일축압축강도는 감소하는 경향을 보였으며, 이 결과는 초임계$CO_2$와 반응하여 암석의 용해반응에 의한 물성변화가 짧은 시간 동안 활발히 일어나고 있음을 의미한다. 계산된 용해반응상수값($k_d$)으로부터 B사암과 C사암의 경우 사암에 주입된 $CO_2$에 의하여 단위면적($cm^2$)당 1 g이 용해되는데 각각 평균 1,532 년과 329 년이 걸리는 것으로 나타나, $CO_2$ 지중저장 시 사암의 용해반응이 짧은 시간동안 활발히 일어날 수 있음을 입증하였다.
