Selenium (Se) obtained from dietary sources including cereals, grains and vegetables is an essential micronutrient for normal function of the body. Plants convert Se into selenomethionine and incorporate it into proteins in place of methionine, while higher animals synthesize selenoproteins containing selenocysteine. Excessive Se in the body is methylated stepwise to methylated selenium metabolites from selenide. Both inorganic and organic forms of selenium can be the nutritional sources in human, and they are transformed to selenide and then the amino acid selenocysteine attached to a specific $tRNA^{ser(sec)}$. The selenocysteine (Sec) is incorporated into selenoprotein sequences by the UGA codon. The decoding of UGA as Sec requires specific mechanisms because UGA is normally read as a stop codon: cis-acting sequences in the mRNA (the selenocysteine insertion sequence, SECIS, within the 3'untranslated region) and trans -acting factors dedicated to Sec incorporation are required for incorporation of Sec during translation of selenoprotein mRNAs. Approximately 25 selenoproteins have been identified in mammals. Several of these, including glutathione peroxidases, thioredoxin reductases and selenoprotein P, have been purified or cloned, allowing further characterization of their biological function. The antioxidant properties of selenoproteins help prevent cellular damage from free radicals which may contribute to the development of chronic disease such as cancer and heart disease. Other selenoproteins have important roles in regulation of thyroid function and play a role in the immune system. Daily selenium iatake was reported to be $42.0{\pm}16.9{\mu}g/day$ in Korean adult women. This review focuses on the metabolism and biological functions of selenium, and the nutritional status of selenium in the Korean population.

Noise is not only affecting the ear and the auditory cortex locally, but its influence is widely spread throughout the brain structures, e. g., the reticular formation, the brain stem nuclei or the subcortical forebrain area. Hence, any of the organism's activities can be hindered or stimulated by noise. High noise is a stressor and the catecholamine level can be used both as a stress marker and as an indicator of modified sympathetic nervous system activity. Several recent studies have found that the urinary excretion of catecholamines is increased due to high noise intensity, especially unexpectedly high and long lasting noise. The present study was conducted in order to examine the effects of noise stress on urinary excretion of ctecholamines in rats and humans. Rats were exposed to 90 dB noise for 10, 30, and 60 minutes, 3 and 12 hours. 24 hour . urinary samples were collected and the catecholamones were extracted by alumina and analyzed by HPLC-ECD. Catecholamine levels increased with time of exposure up to 60 minutes : norepinephrine concentration at 60 min of noise=1.038 ng/ml, epinephrine=0.636 ng/ml. Urine catecholamines of blue collar workers exposed to 90 dB of noise at the work place were collected between 2 and 4 p.m. and compared to that of white collar workers exposed to 70 dB. Mean norepinephrine level of the blue collar workers was 0.89 ng/ml (${\pm}0.25$), epinephrine 0.24ng/m1 (${\pm}0.09$), and that of the white collar workers 0.48 ng/ml (${\pm}0.12$), epinephrine 0.19 ng/ml(${\pm}0.05$). It was concluded that noise acts as a stressor and increases the catecholamine levels in both rats and humans.

Periapical lesions develop as a result of immunopathologic response to irritants from infected root canal systems. Removal of these irritants from the root canal system and sealing the root canal space may induce he31ing of the periapical lesions. 83 periapical lesions diagnosed as periapical abscess, periapical granuloma, chronic nonspecific inflammation, fibrosis and periapical Cyst were evaluated for the distribution of immunoglobulin containing cells. The influence of the state of root canal treatment on the distribution of immunoglobulin containing cells has evaluated. All lesions were divided into a group with no treatment, a group with canal enlargement, a group filled with gutta percha, and a group filled with Vitapex(calcium hydroxide). The distribution of immunoglobulin-containing cells according to the presence of pain and fistula was also evaluated. The following results were obtained. 1. Statistically significant difference in the distribution of immunoglobulin-containing cells among periapical abscess, periapical granuloma, chronic nonspecific inflammation/fibrosis and periapical cyst were found.(Kruskal-Wallis analysis, P<0.05) The number of immunoglobulin-containing cells in fibrosis was remarkably lower than that of periapical abscess, granuloma and cyst. 2. IgM and IgA containing cells were predominantly observed in periapical abscesses and periapical cysts, respectively. 3. All periapical lesions showed a large number of IgG containing cells followed by IgM, IgA and IgE containing cells. 4. There was a decrease in all Ig-containing cells in the group with canal filling compared to groups without treatment or with enlargement. That is, there is a decrease in Ig-containing cells as treatment progresses. 5. No significant correlation existed between the presence of pain and fistula and the distribution of immunoglobulin containing cells in periapical lesions.(t-test) Results appear to support that immune response are actively involved in the development and progress in periapical lesions. The fact that distribution of immunoglobulins differ according to the state of endodontic treatment suggests that root canal treatment may alter the humoral immune response of the periapical lesions.

New CCD BVR light curves of BD And are presented. Our light curves with nearly equal depths for both primary and secondary eclipses show well-defined photometric waves outside eclipse for all of BVR bandpasses. The orbital period is greatly revised as $0.^d92580519$ which is twice longer than that known previously. Sixteen timings from our observations and thirteen ones from the SuperWASP measurements were calculated. All available timings over 76 years, including ours, were analyzed to figure out the dynamical behavior of the system. It was found that the recent CCD O-C residuals varied in a cyclical way with a period of $9.^y18$ and a semi-amplitude of $0.^d0046$. The secondary period of $9.^y18$ is the most shortest one among those which have been ever found in the short period RS CVn binary stars. The periodic variation most likely arises from the light-travel time effect due to a low-mass ($m_3{\sim}0.88\;M_{\odot}$) tertiary companion moving in an orbit with an large eccentricity ($e_3$=0.70) and a low inclination ($i_3{\sim}28^{\circ}$). The Applegate mechanism could not operate properly in both components because the model parameters require too much large luminosity changes of ${\Delta}L/L_{p,s}$ > 10. The new light curves were synthesized using the 2003 version of Wilson-Divinney code. It was found useful to model two huge spots on the surface of the hotter star and a third-light in order to minimize the residuals from the observations. Astronomical basic parameters were deduced from our photometric solution.

This study reports for the first time about a stability indicating RP-HPLC method for qualitative and quantitative determination of acalabrutinib in bulk and dosage form and in presence its impurities 1, 2 and 3. The chromatographic separation was carried on Zorbax XDB-C18 (250×4.6 mm; 5 µ id) as stationary phase, Phosphate buffer pH 6.4 and methanol 80:20 (v/v) as mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min, UV detection was carried at wavelength of 238 nm and the analysis was completed with a run time of 15 min. In these conditions the retention time of acalabrutinib and its impurities 1, 2 and 3 was observed to be 3.50, 4.83, 8.40 and 9.93 min respectively. The method was validated for system suitability, range of analysis, precision, specificity, stability and robustness. Spiked recovery at 50 %, 100 % and 150 % was carried for both standard and impurities and the acceptable % recovery of 98-102 was observed for acalabrutinib and both impurities studied and the % RSD in each spiked level was found to be less than 2. Stability tests were done through exposure of the analyte solution to five different stress conditions i.e expose to 1N hydrochloric acid, 1 N sodium hydroxide, 3 % peroxide, 80 ℃ temperature and UV radiation at 254 nm. In all the degradation condition, standard drug acalabrutinib was detected along with both the impurities studied and the degradation products were successfully separated. In the formulation analysis there is no other chromatographic detection of other impurities and formulation excipients. Hence the developed method was found to be suitable for the quantification of acalabrutinib and can separate and analyse impurities 1 and 2.

Objectives: The aims of this study were to investigate the classification system of chemical substances in the Occupational Safety and Health Act(OSHA) and Chemical Substances Control Act(CSCA) and to compare several health indices (i.e., Time Weighted Average (TWA), Lethal Dose ($LD_{50}$), and Lethal Concentration ($LC_{50}$) of chemical substances by categories in each law. Methods: The chemicals regulated by each law were classified by the specific categories provided in the respective law; seven categories for OSHA (chemicals with OELs, chemicals prohibited from manufacturing, etc., chemicals requiring approval, chemicals kept below permissible limits, chemicals requiring workplace monitoring, chemicals requiring special management, and chemicals requiring special heath diagnosis) and five categories from the CSCA(poisonous substances, permitted substances, restricted substances, prohibited substances, and substances requiring preparation for accidents). Information on physicochemical properties, health indices including CMR characteristics, $LD_{50}$ and $LD_{50}$ were searched from the homepages of the Korean Occupational and Safety Agency and the National Institute of Environmental Research, etc. Statistical analysis was conducted for comparison between TWA and health index for each category. Results: The number of chemicals based on CAS numbers was different from the numbers of series of chemicals listed in each law because of repeat listings due to different names (e.g., glycol monoethylether vs. 2-ethoxy ethanol) and grouping of different chemicals under the same serial number(i.e., five different benzidine-related chemicals were categorized under one serial number(06-4-13) as prohibited substances under the CSCA). A total of 722 chemicals and 995 chemicals were listed at the OSHA and its sub-regulations and CSCA and its sub-regulations, respectively. Among these, 36.8% based on OSHA chemicals and 26.7% based on CSCA chemicals were regulated simultaneously through both laws. The correlation coefficients between TWA and $LC_{50}$ and between TWA and $LD_{50}$, were 0.641 and 0.506, respectively. The geometric mean values of TWA calculated by each category in both laws have no tendency according to category. The patterns of cumulative graph for TWA, $LD_{50}$, $LC_{50}$ were similar to the chemicals regulated by OHSA and CCSA, but their median values were lower for CCSA regulated chemicals than OSHA regulated chemicals. The GM of carcinogenic chemicals under the OSHA was significantly lower than non-CMR chemicals($2.21mg/m^3$ vs $5.69mg/m^3$, p=0.006), while there was no significant difference in CSCA chemicals($0.85mg/m^3$ vs $1.04mg/m^3$, p=0.448). $LC_{50}$ showed no significant difference between carcinogens, mutagens, reproductive toxic chemicals and non-CMR chemicals in both laws' regulated chemicals, while there was a difference between carcinogens and non-CMR chemicals in $LD_{50}$ of the CSCA. Conclusions: This study found that there was no specific tendency or significant difference in health indicessuch TWA, $LD_{50}$ and $LC_{50}$ in subcategories of chemicals as classified by the Ministry of Labor and Employment and the Ministry of Environment. Considering the background and the purpose of each law, collaboration for harmonization in chemical categorizing and regulation is necessary.

형질전환 동물에 있어서 외래 유전자의 조절되지 않은 과다 발현은 생리적인 부작용이나 독성을 나타내게 된다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 외래 유전자 발현 조절 system인 tetracycline-inducible expression system(Tet system)을 도입하였다. 그러나 종래의 Tet system을 이용한 유전자 발현 조절은 system 자체의 구성 요소로 인한 미미한 leaky 현상 때문에 완벽하게 이루어지지 않는다. 본 연구에서는 보다 완벽한 외래 유전자의 발현 조절 system을 구축하기 위하여 rtTA 대신 진일보한 형태의 $rtTA2^SM2$를 도입하고 TRE 부분을 TRE-tight로 대체하였다. 확립된 retrovirus vector system을 이용하여 다양한 표적세포와 형질전환 닭으로부터 혈소판 생산의 일차적인 조절자이며, 조혈간세포의 생존과 증식에 있어서 매우 중요한 역할을 하는 human thrombopoietin(hTPO)를 생산하고자 하였다. In vitro 상의 연구에서, CEF 세포에서 발현되는 hTPO가 가장 높은 발현량과 발현 유도율을 나타내었으며, 상업적으로 판매되고 있는 hTPO나 다른 표적세포에서 생산된 hTPO에 비해 생물학적 활성이 가장 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 고농도로 농축한 재조합 retrovirus를 stage X단계의 계란의 배반엽 층에 미세주입하여 대리 난각 방법으로 배양한 결과, 미세주입한 138개의 계란 중 21일 후에 15개의 계란에서 병아리가 부화하였으며, 그 중 8마리가 형질전환 개체로 확인되었다. 이 형질전환 닭은 사료 1 g 당 0.5 mg의 doxycycline을 첨가하여 2주간 식이하였으며, 그 후 혈액을 채취하여 hTPO 농도를 측정한 결과 200ng/mL로 확인되었다. 또한 형질전환 개체 중 수컷의 정자에서 hTPO 유전자의 존재를 확인함으로써 germLine transmission의 가능성을 입증하였다. 이상의 연구 결과는 사람의 cytokine 단백질의 대량생산을 위한 생체반응기로서의 형질전환 닭의 생산 가능성을 제시한 데 의의가 있다.

이번 연구의 목적은 하이드록시아파타이트를 이용하여 블라스팅 처리한 뒤 양극산화 방법을 이용하여 하이드록시아파타이트와 이산화티탄이 복합된 표면을 만들고, 이에 대해 세포부착양상을 관찰하고 ALP 활성도와 칼슘 침착량을 측정함으로써 세포 분화능을 평가하여 표면의 생체적합성을 평가하는 데 있다. 이를 위해 실험을 진행한 결과 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 접촉각 분석 결과, 복합처리된 HA+100과 HA+MAO 150은 유의하게 낮은 접촉각을 나타내었다(p<0.05). 세포부착 관찰 결과 연마 처리한 SM 시편에서는 납작한 모양으로 세포가 붙어있는 모습을 관찰할 수 있었으나, 표면 처리된 실험군에서는 세포의 모양이 시편을 따라 좀 더 길게 뻗어 부착된 모습을 관찰할 수 있었다. ALP 활성도 측정 결과 HA+MAO 150과 HA+MAO 200은 1, 2, 3주 모든 기간에서 가장 높은 ALP 활성도를 나타내었다(p>0.05). 칼슘양 측정 결과 HA+MAO 150 과 HA+MAO 200은 1, 2, 3주 모든 기간에서 가장 많은 칼슘양을 나타내었다(p<0.05). 따라서 하이드록시아파타이트 이산화티탄이 복합 코팅된 표면은 높은 표면에너지를 가지며 우수한 세포활성도를 나타내어 치과용 임플란트 표면으로 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것이라고 생각된다.

본 연구의 목적은 나주시에 위치하는 시추공 NJ-11호공과 SJ-8호공에서 구간양수시험, 순간충격시험, 수질검층, 공내 TV검층을 실시하여 균열암반내에서 심도에 따른 지하수 유동 특성을 파악하는데 있었다. 본 연구에서는 특히 깊이에 따른 균열암반의 지하수 유동 특성 변화를 규명하기 위하여 단일팩커를 사용한 구간양수시험을 실시하였다. 구간양수시험 결과, NJ-11호공에서는 팩커 설치심도가 가장 깊을 때(56.9 m) 1.6차원정도의 유동차원을 보이고 팩커 설치심도가 얕아 질수록 유동차원이 감소하여 팩커 설치심도 24 m에서는 1차원을 나타내었다. 이는 NJ-11호공에서는 하부에 유동성 균열이 더 균일하게 발달되어 있음을 지시한다. 한편 SJ-8호공에서는 팩커 설치심도가 가장 깊은 50 m 심도에서 1.7차원정도이고, 팩커 설치심도 32 m에서는 1.8차원 그리고 팩커 설치심도 19 m에서는 1.4차원을 나타내고 있다. 이와 같이 팩커 심도에 따라서 유동차원이 달라지는 것은 균열암반에서 심도에 따라 유동성 균열의 발달정도가 달라지기 때문으로 해석된다 구간양수시험분석에 의하면, 균열암반의 일반적인 수리적 특성을 잘 대변하는 Moench(1984)의 이중공극모델이 대체로 잘 들어맞는다. 수질검층에 의하면, 심도가 깊어질수록 지온이 증가하고 물-광물반응에 의해서 pH가 높아지며, 지하수흐름에 따라 용존산소량은 감소하는 일반적인 경향성을 보여주고 있다. 그리고 대부분의 균열대 구간에서 전기전도도가 증가하고, 용존산소량이 감소하는 경향성을 보여주었다.
