새로운 동적 분광 광도 측정법은 천연의 물 샘플에서 망간(II)의 측정을 위해 개발되었다. 그 방법은 620 nm에서 활성화제로서 nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA)를 사용하면서 $KIO_4$에 의한 갈로시아닌(Gallocyanin)의 산화와 함께 망간(II)의 촉매 효과에 기초했다. 최적조건은 갈로시아닌(Gallocyanin) $4.00{\times}1^{-5}\;M$, $KIO_4$ $1.00{\times}10^{-4}\;M$, NTA $1.00{\times}10^{-4}\;M$, pH = 3.50인 0.1 M HAc/NaAc 완충용액, 5분의 반응시간 그리고 $30^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 얻어졌다. 최적조건 하에서 제안된 방법은 $0.1\;-\;4.0\;ng\;mL^{-1}$의 범위에서 망간(II)의 측정을 허용했고 $0.025\;ng\;mL^{-1}$이하의 검출한계를 가지고 있다. 표준 망간(II) 용액을 측정하는 것에서 회수율은 98.5 - 102% 범위에 있다. 그리고 상대표준편차(RSD)는 0.76 - 1.25%의 범위에 있다. 새롭게 개발된 동적 방법은 약간의 주위의 물과 만족할 만한 결과를 갖는 JAC-0031의 공인된 표준 기준 강물 샘플 둘 다에서 망간(II)의 측정에 성공적으로 응용되었다. 또한, 얼마 안 되는 양이온과 음이온은 망간(II)의 측정을 방해한다. 다른 촉매-동적 방법과 기기적 방법과 비교했을 때, 제안된 동적 방법은 상당히 좋은 선택성과 감도, 낮은 가격, 저렴함, 낮은 검출한계와 신속함을 보인다. 상대적으로 낮은 염분을 갖는 진짜 물 샘플과 병으로 된 마시는 물, 차갑고 뜨거운 용천수, 호수, 강물 샘플 같은 복잡한 모체들에 적용하는 것은 쉽고 성공적으로 적용될 수 있다.

Objectives. To determine the effects of exposure to hexavalent chromium, 93 male Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to hexavalent chromium solution. Methods. Rats were divided into 4 groups and exposed to 0.1ml of 0 mM, 0.4 mM, 2.0 mM, and 10.0 mM potassium chromate in the first experiment, and to 0.1 ml of 0 mM, 20 mM, 40 mM, and 80 mM in the second for consecutive 3 days by tracheal instillation. Three and 10 rats were the controls for the first and the second experiments, respectively. Lung tissues were then removed to measure the 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OH-dG) level using the HPLC-ECD method, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity using the cytochrome C method, and 8-hydroxyguanine endonuclease activity using the oligonucleotide nicking assay. Results. The results showed no significant linear relationship between chromium exposure level and 8-OH-dG level or 8-hydroxyguanine endonuclease activity. In the first experiment, 8-OH-dG level and 8-hydroxyguanine endonuclease activity increased in 0.4 mM group, and then decreased in 2.0 mM and 10.0 mM groups. The correlation coefficients between 8-OH-dG level and 8-hydroxyguanine endonuclease activity was statistically significant (P<0.01), and total SOD activity was elevated by chromium exposure in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.05). In contrast, there was no significant dose-response pattern or correlation in the secod experiment. Conclusions. Based on the fact that there was no linear relationship between chromium dose and 8-OH-dG level or activity of the repair enzyme, it seems unlikely that 8-OH-dG formation is the major mechanism of chromium carcinogenesis.

Work-related low back pain is one of the major factors that cause the loss of working power especially in actively working age, therefore controlling the work-related low back pain is one of the major issues in the field of industrial safety and health. This study was performed for detecting the risk factors and proposing the efficient control program of the work-related low back pain. The subjects were male workers employed at the manufacturing industry in Pusan with longer than 6 months' working duration. The data was collected by self-reported questionnaire and interview from May 1 to October 31,1992. The contents of questionnaire were as follows:. the experience of low back pain within the recent one month, general characteristics(age, marital status, education level, religion, regular exercise), physical characteristics(height, weight), employment status(working duration, daily working hours, rest during work, satis(action fur the job), type of work and working environments(posture, forward bending, lifting and movement, satisfaction for table and chair). The result was analyzed for 608 entire respondents by case-control comparative method. The number of cases was 152 with a history of work-related low back pain, so the relative frequency of self-reported work-related low back pain was 25.0%, and the number of controls was 344 without any history of low back pain. As a result, two characteristics of the employment status(working duration, satisfaction fur the job) and all characteristics of type of work and working environments showed a statistical significance between the case and control groups(p<0.01). The Oddb ratios of these variables for Work-related low back pain were calculated. They were 7.88 for the satisfaction fur chair, 7.86 for lifting and movement,3.31 for satisfaction for table, and 2.22 fur bending forward(p<0.01). And for the multivariate logistic regression analysis confirmed that unsatisfaction for table was independent risk factor for Work-related low back pain. In summary, though this study was based upon the self-reported questionnaire and the subjective complaints, the satisfaction for chair, lifting and movement, satisfaction for table, and bending forward concerned with the type of work and working environments were considered as the main factors causing the work-related low back pain, and the work-related low back pain may be preventable by the ergonomic control of these factors.

This study was performed to compare the dietary intake and food sources of zinc (Zn), using a database of Zn composition developed in this study, between elementary schoolchildren in a remote rural area (RA, n=58, $9.9{\pm}1.7\;yrs$) and those in an urban area (UA, n=60, $9.4{\pm}1.8\;yrs$) in Chungnam province in Korea. A dietary survey for three days by food record method was performed. All kinds of foods (n=273) consumed by subjects were collected by aliquot sampling method, and the Zn content of these foods were analyzed by wet technique. The results showed that the daily mean intakes of energy, calcium, iron, and vitamin C from diet in the RA were in the range of 49-88% of the Korean DRI (KDRI), while those in the UA were similar to or greater than the KDRI, except for calcium and iron. The daily mean intake of Zn from the RA diet was $7.0{\pm}0.5\;mg/d$ ($114.1{\pm}8.4%$ of the KDRI), and $16.0{\pm}1.0\;mg/d$ ($258.3{\pm}16.3%$ of the KDRI) in that of the UA (p<0.001). The percentage of dietary intake of Zn less than 2/3 of the KDRI was 19.0% in the RA, in comparison to 1.7% in the UA. Those in the RA consumed Zn from plant foods more often than did those in the UA (p<0.001). Beef rib stew was the food source with highest Zn amount for the total subjects, followed by beef rib meat, roasted; and beef soup w/seasoned red pepper sauce. These results showed that some children in the RA had poor Zn nutrition based upon low intakes and poor food sources of Zn, while overall, children in the UA had good Zn nutrition. Therefore, those in RAs should have their Zn nutrition improved through government policy and nutrition education.

일부 malignant tumor에 Pt-complex의 일상 응용 과정에서 신장독성등의 심한 부작용이 문제점으로 지적되고 있다. 이 연구에서는 기존의 cisplatin보다 항암효과는 우수하면서, 부작용을 감소시킨 새로운 Pt-complex의 개발에 역점을 두었다. 본 연구에서 합성한 Pt(Ⅱ) complex는 carrier ligand로서 1,2-diaminocyclohexane(dach)을 사용하였고, leaving group으로는 diophosphine류인 1,2-bisdiphenylphosphinoethane(DPPE)을 도입하였으며, 물에 대한 용해도를 높이기 위해 dinitrate로 만들었다. 새로이 합성한 [Pt(Ⅱ)(trans-d-dach)(DPPE)]$(NO_3)_2$는 원소 분석, IR 및 $^{13}C-NMR$ 분석 data에 의하여 위의 물질임이 확인되었다. MTT assay method에 의한 항암활성 연구를 통하여 P-388, L-1210 lymphocytic leukemia cell과 SK-OV3 난소암세포에서 항암효과가 인정되었으며, 이 항암효과는 대조 약물로 사용된 cisplatin과 유사하였다. 토끼의 신세뇨관 세포와 인체의 신피질 세포를 이용한 cytotoxity 및 thymidine 섭취율과 인체 신피질 조직 배양을 이용한 glucose consumption 실험을 통하여 모두 cisplatin보다 신장독성이 현저히 감소되었다. 이상의 결과로 보아 Pt(Ⅱ)complexes는 carrier ligand와 leaving group의 선택에 따라 항암활성의 증가와 신독성의 감소를 일으키는 요인으로 보여지며, 이 연구에서 만들어진 Pt(Ⅱ)complex는 앞으로 다각적인 검토를 거쳐 새로운 항암화학요법제로 개발될 가능성이 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Parallel imaging technique can provide several advantages for a multitude of MRI applications. Especially, in SENSE technique, sensitivity maps were always required in order to determine the reconstruction matrix, therefore, a number of difference approaches using sensitivity information from coils have been demonstrated to improve of image quality. Moreover, many filtering methods were proposed such as adaptive matched filter and nonlinear diffusion technique to optimize the suppression of background noise and to improve of image quality. In this study, we performed SENSE reconstruction using computer simulations to confirm the most suitable method for the feasibility of filtering effect and according to changing order of polynomial fit that were applied on variation of spatial resolution of sensitivity map. The image was obtained at 0.32T(Magfinder II, Genpia, Korea) MRI system using spin-echo pulse sequence(TR/TE = 500/20 ms, FOV = 300 mm, matrix = $128{\times}128$, thickness = 8 mm). For the simulation, obtained image was multiplied with four linear-array coil sensitivities which were formed of 2D-gaussian distribution and the image was complex white gaussian noise was added. Image processing was separated to apply two methods which were polynomial fitting and filtering according to spatial resolution of sensitivity map and each coil image was subsampled corresponding to reduction factor(r-factor) of 2 and 4. The results were compared to mean value of geomety factor(g-factor) and artifact power(AP) according to r-factor 2 and 4. Our results were represented while changing of spatial resolution of sensitivity map and r-factor, polynomial fit methods were represented the better results compared with general filtering methods. Although our result had limitation of computer simulation study instead of applying to experiment and coil geometric array such as linear, our method may be useful for determination of optimal sensitivity map in a linear coil array.

Cimetidine is a histamine $H_2-receptor$ antagonist, used for the treatment of endoscopically or radiographically comfirmed duodenal ulcer, pathologic GI hypersecretory conditions, and active, benign and gastric ulcer. Simple method for determining cimetidine in human plasma has been developed and validated. The analytical procedure for cimetidine showed a linear relationship in the concentration ranges from $0.05\;to\;5\;{\mu}g/ml$. Coefficient of variance (CV, %) for intraday and interday validation and relative error (RE, %) were less than ${\pm}15%$. Based on this analytical method, the bioequivalence of two cimetidine 400 mg tablets, reference (Tagamet 400 mg) and test drug (Sinil CIMETIDINE 400 mg) was evaluated according to the guidelines set by the Korea Food and Drug Administration (KFDA). Release of cimetidine from the tablets in vitro was tested using KP VIII Apparatus II with various dissolution media (pH 1.2, 4.0, 6.8 buffer solutions and water). Twenty-four healthy volunteers, $21.38{\pm}1.86$ years in age and $68.71{\pm}8.68\;kg$ in body weight, were divided into two groups and a randomized $2{\times}2$ cross-over study was performed. After oral administration of a tablet containing 400 mg of cimetidine, blood samples were taken at predetermined time intervals and concentrations of cimetidine in plasma were determined using HPLC equipped with UV detector. The dissolution profiles of the two tablet formulations were very similar at all dissolution media. In addition, pharmacokinetic parameters such as $AUC_t$ and $C_{max}$ were calculated and ANOVA was employed for the statistical analysis of parameters. The results were revealed that the differences in $AUC_t$ and $C_{max}$ between the two tablets were 4.17 % and 0.97% respectively. At 90% confidence intervals, the differences in these parameters were also within ${\pm}20%$. All of the above mentioned parameters have met the criteria of KFDA guidelines for bioequivalence, indicating that the test drug tablet (Sinil CIMETIDINE tablet) is bioequivalent to Tagamet 400 mg tablet.

최근 CT, MRI, PET등 영상진단기술 및 방사선치료계획 소프트웨어 등이 획기적으로 발전하였음에도 불구하고 자궁경부암의 강내조사는 아직까지 A점 등 ICRU 38에 근거한 치료계획을 보편적으로 사용하고 있다. CT를 이용한 3차원 강내조사 계획은 종양 및 정상조직의 선량-용적 히스토그람(DVH)에 대한 정보를 제공한다. 본 연구에서는 CT를 이용하여 표적용적(CTV)에 목표선량을 조사하는 치료계획(CTV 치료계획)과 ICRU38에 근거한 치료계획(ICRU 치료계획)을 시행하고, 각각에 대한 DVH를 분석하여 두 치료계획간의 종양선량, 직장선량, 방광선량 등을 비교하였다. Ir-192 고선량율강내치료(HDR)를 받은 11명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 강내조사 치료계획은 외부방사선치료를 일일선량 180cGy씩 4문조사(Box technique)로 약 40Gy 시행한 후 수립되었으며 모든 환자에서 CT 모의치료기를 이용한 CT가 시행되었고 치료계획은 PLATO(Nucletron) v.14.2를 이용하였다. CT 영상에 CTV, 직장, 방광 등을 도시한 후 CTV에 100%의 선량을 조사하는 치료계획 및 ICRU 38에 근거하여 A점에 100%를 조사하는 치료계획을 수립하였다. 11명 환자의 CTV 용적(평균${\pm}$표준편차)은 $21.8{\pm}26.6cm^3$, 직장 용적은 $60.9{\pm}25.0cm^3$, 방광용적은 $111.6{\pm}40.1cm^3$이었으며, 100%의 선량이 포함하는 용적은 ICRU 치료계획에서는 $126.7{\pm}18.9cm^3$, CTV 치료계획에서는 $98.2{\pm}74.5cm^3$이었다. (p=0.0001). ICRU 치료계획 시 잔류종양의 크기가 4cm 이상인 1례에서는 CTV 용적 $22.0cm^3$가 100% 등선량곡선에 포함되지 않았으며 잔류종양의 크기가 4cm 미만인 나머지 10례에서는 종양용적 이외의 정상조직 $62.2{\pm}4.8cm^3$이 불필요하게 100% 이상의 선량이 조사되었다. ICRU 38의 권고에 따른 방광선량은 ICRU 치료계획 및 CTV 치료계획에서 각각 $90.1{\pm}21.3%,\;68.7{\pm}26.6%$이었고(p=0.001), 직장선량은 $86.4{\pm}18.3%,\;76.9{\pm}15.6%$이었다(p=0.08). 방광 및 직장선량의 최대 점선량 또한 ICRU 치료계획과 CTV계획에서 각각 $137.2{\pm}50.1%$ vs $107.6{\pm}47.9%$, (p=0.008), $101.1{\pm}41.8%$ vs $86.9{\pm}30.8%$ (p=0.045) 로서 CTV 치료계획에서 정상조직에 조사되는 선량이 더 적게 나타났다. 그러나 잔류종양이 4cm 이상인 환자에서는 CTV 치료계획에서 정상조직 선량이 권고 선량보다 현저히 높게 나타났다. 방광 및 직장의 용적선량에서는 투여선량의 80% 이상을 받는 직장용적선량(V80rec)은 ICRU 치료계획 및 CTV 치료계획에서 각각 $1.8{\pm}2.4cm^3,\;0.7{\pm}1.0cm^3$(p=0.02), 방광용적선량(V80bla)은 $12.2{\pm}8.9cm^3,\;3.5{\pm}4.1cm^3$로서 역시 CTV 치료계획에서 적게 조사되었다(p=0.005). 기존의 ICRU 치료계획은 잔류종양의 크기가 작은 경우 불필요하게 정상조직에 많은 선량이 투여되기 때문에 CT를 이용한 CTV 치료계획을 적용하여 정상조직에 대한 피폭을 현저히 낮추고 잔류종양에 목표한 선량을 조사할 수 있다. 다만 잔류종양의 크기가 큰 경우에는 정상조직에 대한 조사선량을 줄이기 위한 효과적 치료계획에 대한 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
