국내 주요 하수 슬러지(Z-1, Z-2시)에서 내분비계 장애물질로 의심 받는 여러 가지 물질 중 octylphenol(OP), nonylphenol(NP), di-octylphthalate(DOP)를 이 염화메탄을 이용하여 Soxhlet 장치로 추출한 후 GC/MS-SIM 방법으로 그들의 함량을 결정하였다. Z-1시 하수 슬러지의 경우 octylphenol, nonylphenol, di-octylphthalate의 함량이 각각 $3.25{\pm}0.07{\mu}g/g$, $1168{\pm}36{\mu}g/g$, $1172{\pm}57{\mu}g/g$이었고, Z-2 하수 슬러지는 octylphenol, nonylphenol, di-octylphthalate가 각각 $0{\mu}g/g$, $10.8{\pm}0.1{\mu}g/g$, $80{\pm}62{\mu}g/g$이 검출되었다. 특히 Z-1하수 슬러지에서 검출된 nonylphenol과 di-octylphthalate의 양은 매우 높은 값으로 생태계로 순환될 경우 매우 위험한 수준으로 평가되었으며, 또한 인간의 건강과 생식능력에 영향을 미칠 것으로 사료된다.

Generally, Gwakhyangjeonggi-san has been used for treatment of diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome. In this study, an ultra-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometer method was established for the simultaneous quantification of marker compounds 1-20 in Gwakhyangjeonggi-san water extract. All analytes were separated by gradient elution using two mobile phases on a UPLC BEH $C_{18}$ ($100{\times}2.1mm$, $1.7{\mu}m$) column and maintained at $45^{\circ}C$. The injection volume was $2.0{\mu}L$ and the flow rate was 0.3 mL/min with detection at mass spectrometer. Regression equations of the compounds 1-20 were acquired with $r^2$ values ${\geq}0.9950$. The values of limit of detection and quantification of all analytes were 0.01-2.79 ng/mL and 0.03-8.37 ng/mL, respectively. The amounts of the compounds 1-20 in Gwakhyangjeonggi-san water extract were not detected $-3,236.67{\mu}g/g$. The established LC-MS/MS methods will be valuable to improve quality control of traditional herbal formula, Gwakhyangjeonggi-san.

Algae bloom occurred in reservoir in summer can cause taste and odor in water and disturb the flocculation and sedimentation processes in water treatment plant and cause sand filter plugging. It was also reported that microcystins, anatoxin and saxitoxin released from cyanobacteria had acute toxic effects on liver and nervous system. For these reasons, many advanced countries inclusive of WHO set the guideline for these toxins and cyanotoxins have been managed with regular monitoring in Korea as well. However, complex sample preparation steps such as a solid phase extraction (SPE) and derivatization are required with an existing analysis method with HPLC. We needed to improve an analysis method for low extraction efficiency and long sample preparation time. In this study, we have established a new LC/MS/MS method which can simultaneously determine 6 cyanotoxins (Microcystins-LR, Microcystins-RR, Microcystins-YR, Anatoxin-a, Saxitoxin, Neosaxitoxin) with only simple filtration step. When $75{\mu}L$ filterated sample was injected onto the LC-MS/MS, the recovery ranged from 86% to 112% and the MDL was $0.025{\sim}0.581{\mu}g/L$. We can make the MDL be lower than the guideline ($1{\sim}3{\mu}g/L$) of advanced countries with simple preparation.

Nonmedical use of prescription stimulants such as methylphenidate (MPH) and amphetamine (AP) by normal persons has been increased to improve cognitive functions. Due to high potential for their abuse, reliable analytical methods were required to detect these prescription stimulants in biological samples. A direct injection liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric (LC-MS/MS) method was developed and implemented for simultaneous determination of MPH, AP and their metabolites ritalinic acid (RA) and 4-hydroxyamphetamine (HAP) in human urine. Urine sample was centrifuged and the upper layer ($100{\mu}L$) was mixed with $800{\mu}L$ of distilled water and $100{\mu}L$ of internal standards ($0.2{\mu}g/mL$ in methanol). The mixture was then directly injected into the LC-MS/MS system. The mobile phase was composed of 0.2% formic acid in distilled water (A) and acetonitrile (B). Chromatographic separation was performed by using a Capcell Pak MG-II C18 ($150mm{\times}2.0mm$ i.d., $5{\mu}m$, Shiseido) column and all analytes were eluted within 5 min. Linear least-squares regression with a 1/x weighting factor was used to generate a calibration curve and the assay was linear from 20 to 1500 ng/mL (HAP), 40-3000 ng/mL (AP and RA) and 2-150 ng/mL (MPH). The intra- and inter-day precisions were within 16.4%. The intra- and inter-day accuracies ranged from -15.6% to 10.8%. The limits of detection for all the analytes were less than 4.7 ng/mL. The suitability of the method was examined by analyzing urine samples from drug abusers.

This study was purposed to develop an effective LC/MS/MS method for simultaneously determining five pre-treated cyanotoxins (anatoxin-a, microcystins-RR, -YR, -LR and -LA) of cyanobacteria blooms. Cyanobacterial bloom samples were collected from 11 major lakes and three downstream areas of river around Korea during 2005~2009. Cyanotoxins were identified in 38 samples from the lakes. The validity of the method was evaluated and the recovery rates were found ranging from 83~87%. The MDL turned out to be $0.046\;{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$ for anatoxin-a and $0.066\;{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$ for microcystins (RR, YR, LR and LA), which indicates that the method has high sensitivity and accuracy. The most dominant genus of the cyanobacterial blooms was Microcystis, which accounted for 71% of the analysed samples. Microcystis also contained the largest amount of microcystins ($398.5\;{\mu}g\;gDW^{-1}$) among the analyzed cyanobacteria. The analysis of the five cyanotoxins showed that anatoxin-a ranged between $0{\sim}41.833\;{\mu}g\;gDW^{-1}$ and microcystins ranged between $6.311{\sim}2,148.786\;{\mu}g\;gDW^{-1}$. Among the microcystins, micocystin-RR took up 58.3%, the largest portion. Anatoxin-a was found to account for 77.8% of the samples. This study has its significance in that it allowed the establishment of toxin criteria appropriate for the Korean water systems. Further studies may be necessary to conduct for improving water treatment methods.

This communication describes for the first time an efficient and reproducible protocol for large-scale multiplication of Bambusa nutans. Nodal segments collected from field-grown clumps and cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with $4.4{\mu}M$ benzylaminopurine (BA) and $2.32{\mu}M$ kinetin (Kin) gelled with 0.2% gelrite yielded 80% aseptic cultures with 100% bud-break. The in vitro-formed shoots obtained after bud-break were successfully multiplied in MS liquid medium supplemented with $13.2{\mu}M$ BA, $2.32{\mu}M$ Kin, and $0.98{\mu}M$ indole-3-butyric acid (IBA). Sub-culturing of shoots every 3 weeks on fresh multiplication medium yielded a consistent proliferation rate of 3.5-fold. Shoot clusters containing three to five shoots were successfully rooted with 100% success on half-strength MS liquid medium supplemented with $9.8{\mu}M$ IBA, $2.85{\mu}M$ indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), $2.68{\mu}M$ naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), and 3% sucrose. Plantlets grown in vitro were acclimatized and subsequently transferred to the field. Inter-simple sequence repeat analysis has confirmed the genetic uniformity of the tissue-cultured plants up to 27 passages.

The analytical method of trace toxic metals in livestock products was confirmed and validated through certified reference material (CRM) and the international proficiency tests. There are some difficulties to determine low levels of toxic metals in livestock products because of interferences due to the matrix. The recoveries of CRM (NIST 1577c) ranged from 73.9 to 119% for lead and from 86.4 to 111% for cadmium in bovine liver. The international proficiency tests were carried out with the milk powder and cocoa powder samples including metals provided by Food Analysis Performance Assessment Scheme (FAPAS$^{(R)}$, UK). The test samples were prepared by microwave digestion using solution of $HNO_3:H_2O_2:H_2O$ (v/v/v = 5 : 2 : 4) and analyzed by ICP/MS. The analytical result of cadmium in milk powder was $121{\mu}g/kg$ with -0.3 of the z-score compared to the assigned value of $131{\mu}g/kg$ by FAPAS$^{(R)}$. The analytical results of lead and cadmium in cocoa powder were $29.2{\mu}g/kg$ and $97.6{\mu}g/kg$, respectively, which satisfied the assigned values of $34.2{\mu}g/kg$ for lead and $126{\mu}g/kg$ for cadmium by FAPAS$^{(R)}$. It is verified that the analytical method is accurate and reliable to determine trace lead and cadmium in livestock products by microwave digestion and ICP/MS.
