황해 대륙붕 해역의 전 수주(whole water column)의 질소 섭취율 중 무광대(aphotic zone)내 식물플랑크톤에 의한 질소 섭취율의 기여도를 파악하기 위하여 상부의 유광대(euphotic zone)와 하부의 무광대에서 식물플랑크톤에 의한 질소 섭취율의 크기를 측정하였다. 1997년 5월과 11월에 유광대와 무광대에서 일정량의 해수를 채취하여 선상에서 식물플랑크톤의 질산염과 암모늄 섭취율 측정을 $^{15}N$으로 표지하여 추적하였다. 전 유광대내의 질산염 및 암모늄 섭취율은 각각 1.8${\sim}$15.3 mg N $m^{-2}$ $d^{-1}$과 5.0${\sim}$132.2 mg N $m^{-2}$ $d^{-1}$의 범위이며, 대체로 암모늄 섭취율이 질산염 섭취율보다 우세하였다(1.9${\sim}$19.4배). 전 수주내의 질산염 및 암모늄 섭취율은 각각 2.9${\sim}$22.0 mg N$m^{-2}$ $d^{-1}$과 15.7${\sim}$175.5 mg N$m^{-2}$ $d^{-1}$의 범위를 나타냈다. 전 수주내의 총 질소 섭취율 중 무광대의 식물플랑크톤에 의한 질소 섭취율이 차지하는 비율은 질산염의 경우에 13.0${\sim}$86.2%, 암모늄의 경우에는 13.8${\sim}$67.8%로서, 무광대에서 식물플랑크톤에 의한 질소 섭취가 상당함이 발견되었다. 본 연구의 결과는 무광대내에서 상당한 양으로 활발하게 질소를 섭취하는 식물플랑크톤이 물리적 작용들(예를 들면, 와류 혼합, 수온약층의 수직이동 등)에 의해 유광대로 다시 편입(entrainment)될 경우 유광대의 물질 순환에 크게 기여할 가능성이 있음을 시사한다. 그리고, 본 연구 결과는 황해에서 신생산(new production)의 크기가 질산염 섭취로만 추정될 경우 과소평가될 가능성이 있으며, 암모늄 섭취에 기초한 재생산(regenerated production)의 일부가 신생산에 포함되어야 함을 제시한다.

Geniposide is an active product extracted from the gardenia fruit, and is one of the most widely used herbal preparations for liver disorders. This study examined the cytoprotective properties of geniposide and its metabolite, genipin, against hepatic ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. C57BL/6 mice were subjected to 60 min of ischemia followed by 6 h of reperfusion. Geniposide (100 mg/kg) and genipin (50 mg/kg) were administered orally 30 min before ischemia. In the I/R mice, the levels of serum alanine aminotransferase and hepatic lipid peroxidation were elevated, whereas hepatic glutathione/glutathione disulfide ratio was decreased. These changes were attenuated by geniposide and genipin administration. On the other hand, increased hepatic heme oxygenase-1 protein expression was potentiated by geniposide and genipin administration. The increased levels of tBid, cytochrome c protein expression and caspase-3 activity were attenuated by geniposide and genipin. Increased apoptotic cells in the I/R mice were also significantly reduced by geniposide and genipin treatment. Our results suggest that geniposide and genipin offer significant hepatoprotection against I/R injury by reducing oxidative stress and apoptosis.

The effects of Glycyrrhizae Radix (GR) on the metabolism of acetaminophen (AA) were examined in male Sprague-Dawley rats. The methanol extract of GR (500 mg/kg) was administered orally to rats for 6 days. AA and its metabolites excreted in bile, urine and blood within 120 min after dosing of AA (150 mg/kg, i.v.) were assayed by HPLC. Treatment of rats with the methanol extract of GR significantly increased the cumulative biliary excretion of AA-glucuronide (156% of the control) and decreased that of AA-sulfate (63% of the control). The cumulative urinary excretion of AA-glucuronide was also significantly increased to 132% of the control. GR treatment significantly increased total (biliary plus urinary) excretion of AA-glucuronide (172% of the control) without influencing thioether and sulfate conjugates of AA. The results clearly show that GR enhances UDP-glucuronosyl transferase-mediated detoxication of AA, but may not influence sulfotrans-ferase-mediated and cytochrome P-450-mediated metabolites formation.

1. Objective: To compare the contents and transfer rate of hazardous substances in crude, washing solution, crude after washing, decoction and remnant after boiling. 2. Methods: The heavy metal contents of each step were measured by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS) and mercury analyzer (MA-2). In order to analyze pesticides in each sample we used simultaneous multi-residue analysis of pesticides by GC/ECD, which was followed by GC/MSD analysis to confirm the identity of the detected pesticide in each sample. In addition, the contents of sulfur dioxide (SO2) were performed by Monier-Williams distillation method. 3. Results: 1) Contents (mg/kg) of heavy metals in decoction of all herbal medicine prescriptions were not detected. 2) Transfer rates (%) of heavy metals from crude to remnant were As (83.3%), Cd (100.0%), Pb (182.6%) and Hg (100.0%). 3) Contents (mg/kg) of residual pesticides were not detected. 4) Transfer rate (%) of sulfur dioxide (SO2) from crude to remnant was 44.2%. 4. Conclusion: Our results showed that boiled herbal medicine prescriptions which we take is safe from the hazardous substances.

The object of this study was to evaluate the acute toxicity of lyophilized water extract of Radix Araliae Cordatae (RA) in male and female mice. The extract was administered to female and male ICR mice as an oral dose of 2000 mg/kg (body wt.) according to the recommendation of KFDA Guidelines. Animals were monitored for the mortality and changes in body weight, clinical signs and gross observation during 14 days after dosing, upon necropsy, organ weight and histopathology of 12 principle organs were examined. As results, we could not find any mortality, clinical signs, changes in the body weight and gross findings except for increases of hypertrophy of lymph nodes in male RA extracts-dosing group. In addition, no RA extracts-treatment related abnormal changes in the organ weight and histopathology of principle organs except for some sporadic accidental findings. The results obtained in this study suggest that the RA extracts does not cause any toxicological signs. The LD$_{50}$ and approximate LD of RA extracts in both female and male mice were considered as over 2000 mg/kg.

This study aims to determine the chemical composition and seasonal variation of atmospheric acid deposition in order to identify possible sources contributing to precipitation. Sampling and analysis of 132 wet deposition samples were carried out from January to December 2008 at Mae Hia Research Center, Chiang Mai University, Chiang Mai Province. Total precipitation was 1,286.7 mm. Mean electro-conductivity and pH values were 0.94 mS/m and 6.27, respectively. Major cations ($Na^+$, ${NH_4}^+$, $K^+$, $Ca^{2+}$, and $Mg^{2+}$) and major anions ($HCOO^-$, $CH_3COO^-$, $Cl^-$, ${NO_3}^-$, and ${SO_4}^{2-}$) were determined by Ion Chromatography. The relative volume weight mean concentrations of anions, in descending order, were ${SO_4}^{2-}$ > ${NO_3}^-$ > $Cl^-$ > $CH_3COO^-$ > $HCOO^-$ and those of cations were $NH_4^+$ > $Ca^{2+}$ > $Mg^{2+}$ > $K^{+}$ > $Na^+$. Results of a principle component analysis highlighted the influence of various possible sources of ions such as agricultural activity, fuel combustion, marine sources, soil resuspension, and biomass burning.
