$^{14}C-{\alpha}-endosulfan$(100 nM, $41\;{\mu}g$)을 공시어의 각 조직(간, 신장, 소화관) 추출액에 처리하여 대사물질의 생성과 이에 미치는 cofactor의 영향을 시험관내 반응으로 비교한 결과, 105,000 g soluble fraction에서 phase I system에 해당되는 cofactor의 첨가시 공시어의 간 조직에서 가장 높은 대사물질 생성율을 보였고 phase II system에서는 NADPH를 cofactor로 첨가하였을 때 간과 신장조직에서 높은 대사물질 생성율을 보였다. 하지만 소화관 조직에서는 GSH 단독처리나 GSH+NADPH의 혼합처리시 높은 대사물질 생성율을 보였다. 또한 microsomal fraction에서는 phase I system에 해당되는 cofactor의 첨가시 공시어의 소화관 조직에서, phase II system의 경우 NADPH 단독처리나 NADPH+GSH 혼합처리시 대사물질의 생성이 가장 많았다. 이러한 결과로 보아 공시어의 간과 신장에서는 MFO에 의한 대사작용이, 소화관에서는 GST에 의한 대사작용이 활발하다고 할 수 있었다. 공시어의 각 조직에서 높은 생성율을 보인 대사물질은 EA(endosulfan alcohol), EE(endosulfan ether), EHE(endosulfan hydroxyether)이었으며 in vivo 시험에서와 마찬가지로 endosulfan sulfate는 검출되지 않았다. 이 실험에서 ${\alpha}-endosulfan$은 잉어체내에서 ${\beta}-endosulfan$으로 이성화되었다가 EA로 가수분해되거나 직접 EA로 가수분해되어 다시 EE나 EHE로 산화되며 EHE는 EL(endosulfan lactone)로 산화되는 것으로 제안할 수 있었다.

방오도료로 많이 쓰인 유기주석화합물은 일반생물에게 미치는 독성이 매우 강하고 또한 내분비계 장애물질임이 밝혀지면서 이를 대체할 화합물들의 개발이 요구되고 있다. 그 가운데 이런 목적으로 만들어진 화합물인 Sea-Nine 211을 사용하여 이것이 해양생물 특히 저서생물인 패류에게 얼마나 영향을 미치는지를 살펴보고자 북방대합(P. sachalinensis)에게 강제 주사하여 생존율과 중장선의 미크로좀 중 I상 약물대사효소의 변화를 4일째가지 조사하였으며, 또한 비교를 위해 tributyltin chloride (TBTC)의 주사실험을 병행하였다. 생존율에서는 sham구나 Sea-Nine 211 실험구(5, 25 및 50 mg kg$^{-1}$)모두 생존하였으나 TBTC(1, 2 및 5 mg kg$^{-1}$) 실험구의 생존율은 4일째에 각각 70%, 30% 및 0%였다. 한편, 약물대사효소계 중 I상효소인 CYP는 Sea-Nine 211주사 후 시간이 지나면서 유도되었지만, TBTC는 반대로 저해되는 경향을 보였다. 그리고 P450R 활성은 Sea-Nine 211 실험구에서 시간 경과와 더불어 약간 증가하는 추세를 보였지만 sham구와는 유의적인 차이가 없었으나, TBTC실험구는 주사농도와 비례하면서 저해되었다. b5R활성도 마찬가지로 Sea-Nine 211 실험구는 큰 변화가 없었으나, TBTC실험 구에서는 유의적으로 저해되는 경향을 관찰할 수가 있었다. 이처럼 비주석계 방오도료 화합물인 Sea-Nine 211은 북방대합에 대한 독성이 TBTC에 비해 크게 낮았으며, 약물대사효소계에 미치는 영향도 TBTC는 저해하는데 반해서 P450R이나 b5R에는 별다른 변화를 일으키지 않았으나 CYP는 유도하였다.

강원 북부연안에 많이 서식하는 명주조개 (C. antiquafa)를 대상으로 중장선의 미크로좀을 in vitro로 유기주석화합물 (TBTO, TBTC, TPTC)과 배양하여 약물대사효소계의 cytochrome P450 (CYP)과 7-ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD)의 변화를 조사하였다. 그 결과, 이들 화합물은 모두 명주조개의 약물대사효소계를 짧은 시간 내에 저해한다는 것을 확인하였다. 즉,미크로좀을 0.4 mM 농도의 TBTC, TBTO 및 TPTC와 20분간 배양한 후의 CYP 함량은 첨가하기 전에 비해 각각 $52\%$, $72\%$ 및 $40\%$로 줄었는데, 이것으로 화합물의 종류에 따라서 저해 정도는 차이가 있었고 butyltin화합물보다는 phenyltin화합물의 저해 정도가 더 컸다. 그리고 EROD 활성의 경우도 0.4 mM의 TBTC, TBTO 및 TPTC와 20분 간 배양하였더니 각각 $100\%$, $92\%$ 및 $85\%$로 butyltin 화합물보다 는 phenyltin 화합물의 저해가 더 컸다. 한편, TBTC, TBTO 및 TPTC 모두는 패류 중장선의 CYP와 EROD 활성을 농도의존적으로 저해하였으며, 그리고 두 효소는 모두 오염물질에 노출된 패류의 좋은 생체지표 (bioindicator)로 활용할 수 있을 것이라 여겨진다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of green tea catechin on microsomal mixed function oxidase(MFO) system of kidney and brain in streptozotocin(STZ) induced diabetic rats. Sprague-Dawley male rats weighing 140$\pm$10g were randomly assigned to one control and three STZ-diabetic groups. Diabetic groups wer classified to DM-0C(catechin 0%/kg diet), DM-0.5C (catechin 0.5%/kg diet), and DM-1.0C(catechin 1%/kg diet) according to the level of catechin supplementation. Diabetes were experimentally induced by intravenous administration of 55mg/kg body weight of STZ in citrate buffer(pH 4.3) after 4 weeks feeding of three experimental diets. Animals were sacrificed at the sixth day of diabetic state. The contents of cytochrome P450 in kidney were increased by 77, 42, 49% in DM-0C, DM-0.5C and DM-1.0C groups, respectively, than normal group. The contents of cytochrome P450 in brain were increased by 43% in DM-0C group than normal group, but those of DM-0.5C and DM-1.0C groups were similar to that of normal group. The contents of cytochrome b5 in kidney were increased by 78, 38, 49% in DM-0C, DM-0.5C and DM-1.0C groups, respectively, than normal group. Meanwhile, the contents of cytochrome b5 in brain were not significantly different among all groups. The activities of NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase in kidney of DM-group were increased by 27% than normal group, but those of DM-0.5C and DM-1.0C groups were 13 and 15% lower than that of DM-0C group. The activities in brain were also increased by 31% in DM-0C group, but those of DM-0.5C and DM-1.0C groups were similar to than of normal group. Levels of TBARS (thiobarbituric acid reactive substance) in kidney were increased by 147, 60 and 59% in DM-0C, DM-0.5C, and DM-1.0C groups, respectively, compared with normal group, but those of DM-0.5C and DM-1.0C groups were 36, 35% lower than that of DM-0C group. Meanwhile, the levels of TBARS in brain were not significantly different among four groups. These results indicate that dietary catechins in green tea play a powerful antioxidant role in reducing the lipid peroxidation enhanced by activation of MFO system in STZ-induced diabetes.

본 연구는 MFOS라 명명한 다중센서 기반의 서리 관측 시스템의 고안 및 설치를 통해 서리의 자동 관측 가능성 및 실제 서리 발생 시 관련 영상 자료를 제시하였다. MFOS의 구성은 RGB 카메라, 열화상 카메라, LWS이며, 각 장비들은 서로 상보적인 역할을 수행한다. 서리 발생 전 장비의 시험 운영을 통해, 무강수 사례인 경우 높은 상대습도를 유지할 때 LWS의 전압값은 증가하였고, 특히 주변의 농수로로 인해 높은 상대습도가 유지되는 가평군 관측지에서 크게 증가하였다. RGB 카메라 이미지에서는 일출 전과 일몰 후에 LWS와 지표면을 관측할 수 없었으나 나머지 시간에 대해서는 가능하였다. 강수 사례의 경우 강수 기간 동안 LWS의 전압값은 급격하게 증가하였고, 강수 종료 후 감소하였다. RGB 카메라 이미지는 강수 현상과 상관없이 LWS와 지표면을 관측하였다. 반면, 열화상 카메라의 경우 강수 현상으로 인해 이미지 촬영은 되었지만 LWS와 지표면을 관측하지 못했다. 실제 서리가 발생한 사례의 자료를 통해, LWS의 전압값이 서리에 해당하는 범위보다 높더라도 RGB 카메라가 서리의 지표면 및 장비 표면 발생을 관측할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Dental abrasive, dicalcium phosphate dehydrate (DCPD) was prepared and the several important factors affecting on the quality of toothpaste were investigated by means of set test, glycerine absorption, Coulter counter test, color difference, BET adsorption, mercury porosimetery, and rheogram comparing with two foreign DCPDs, MFO4 and Dentphos K. Sample DCPD was prepared by reaction between 85% H$_{3}$PO$_{4}$ and 15% milk of lime at $39^{\circ}C$ (pH6.5), and stabilized with TSPP and TMP. The physicochemical properties of Sample DCPD were obtained as follows: whiteness (98.99), average particle size (15.5 $\mu\textrm{m}$), pH (7.9), remainder particle weight (0.49w/w%), glycerine absorption value (64 ml), and set test (passed). N$_{2}$ adsorption curves (BET) of three kinds of DCPD showed non-porous type III isotherm. BET adsorption parameters of sample DCPD showed that surface area was 24.9 m$^{2}$/g, total pore volume 0.09 cm$^{3}$/g and average pore radius 72.0 $\AA$. The rheogram of the toothpaste containing each DCPD showed bulged plastic flow with yield vlaue and thixotropic behavior. These results meet standard requirements as abrasive standard, and suggested that synthesized sample DCPD could be used a dental abrasive such as a high quality grade in practice as foreign DCPDs.

An efficient optimization algorithm and damage-sensitive objective function are two main components in optimization-based Finite Element Model Updating (FEMU). A suitable combination of these components can considerably affect damage detection accuracy. In this study, a new hybrid damage-sensitive objective function is proposed based on combining two different objection functions to detect the location and extent of damage in structures. The first one is based on Generalized Pseudo Modal Strain Energy (GPMSE), and the second is based on the element's Generalized Flexibility Matrix (GFM). Four well-known population-based metaheuristic algorithms are used to solve the problem and report the optimal solution as damage detection results. These algorithms consist of Cuckoo Search (CS), Teaching-Learning-Based Optimization (TLBO), Moth Flame Optimization (MFO), and Jaya. Three numerical examples and one experimental study are studied to illustrate the capability of the proposed method. The performance of the considered metaheuristics is also compared with each other to choose the most suitable optimizer in structural damage detection. The numerical examinations on truss and frame structures with considering the effects of measurement noise and availability of only the first few vibrating modes reveal the good performance of the proposed technique in identifying damage locations and their severities. Experimental examinations on a six-story shear building structure tested on a shake table also indicate that this method can be considered as a suitable technique for damage assessment of shear building structures.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of vitamin E on microsomal mixed function oxidase system of kidney in streptozotocin(STZ) induced diabetic rats. Sprague-Dawley male rats weighing 140$\pm$10g were randomly assigned to one control and three STZ-diabetic groups which were subdivided into vitamin E free diet(DM-0E group) 40mg vitamin E per kg diet(DM-40E group) and 400mg vitamin E per kg diet(DM-400E group). Vitamin E level of normal group was 40 mg per kg diet. Diabetes was experimentally induced by intravenous administration of 55 mg/kg B.W of STZ in citrate buffer(pH4.3) after 4 weeks feeding of experimental diets. Animals were sacrificed at the 6th day of diabetic state. The contents of cytochrome P450 in kidney were increased by 82, 54, 41% in DM-0E, DM-40E and DM-400E groups respectively when compared with normal group. The contents of cytochrome b5 in kidney were increased by 28% in DM-0E when compared with normal group but those of DM-40E and DM-400E groups were similar to that of normal group. The activities of NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase in kidney that were increased by 35% in DM-0E group. Levels of TBARS(thiobarbituric acid reactive substance) in kidney were increased by 207, 129% and 72% in DM-0E and DM-400E groups respectively when compared with normal group but those of DM-40E and DM-400E groups were 26,44% lower than that of DM-0E groups. It is know that the activities of MFO system and lipid peroxidation were inhibited in kidney of STZ-induced diabetic rat by administeration of high doses of vitamin E.(Korean J Nutrition 33(6) : 619~624, 2000)

Biomarkers identify various stages and interactions on the pathway from exposure to disease. The three categories of biomarkers are those measuring susceptibility, exposure and effect. Susceptibility biomarkers are identifiable genetic variations affecting absorption, metabolism or response to environmental agents. Biomarkers of exposure indicate the amount of a foreign compound that is absorbed into the body. Biological measurements performed on human tissues are vastly expanding the capabilities of classical epidemiology, which has relied primarily on estimates of human exposure derived form chemical levels in the air, water, and other exposure routes. Biomarkers of exposure indicate the amount of a foreign compound that is absorbed into the body. Biological measurements performed on human tissues are vastly expanding the capabilities of classical epidemiology, which has relied primarily on estimates of human exposure derived form chemical levels in the air, water, and other exposure routes. The biomarker response is typical of chemical pollution by specific classes of compound, such as (i) heavy metals (mercury, cadmium, lead, zinc), responsible for the induction of metallothionein synthesis, and (ii) organochlorinated pollutants (PCBs, dioxins, DDT congeners) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which induce the mixed function oxygenase (MFO) involved in their bio transformations and elimination. Currently genomic researches are developed in human cDNA clone subarrays oriented toward the expression of genes involved in responses to xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes, cell cycle components, oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes, DNA repair genes, estrogen-responsive genes, oxidative stress genes, and genes known to be involved in apoptotic cell death. Several research laboratories in Korea for kicking off these Environmental Genomics were summarized.
