워싱턴주 벤쿠버시 Bonneville 전력소 전주 보관 지역내 PCP와 creosote 오염토양 2g 당 0.020g heme에 0.108g $H_2O$$_2$을 혼합한 산화방법과 0.035g hemoglobin에 0.324g $H_2O$$_2$을 혼합한 산화방법을 비교ㆍ조사하였다. 오염토양에 $^{14}$ C-PCP을 첨가한 다음에 $^{14}$ C의 물질수지를 조사한 결과, 24시간동안 반응 후 $^{14}$ $CO_2$는 heme 과 hemoglobin반응에서는 각각 3.50g와 3.88% 생산되었다. $^{14}$ C 물질수지 분포는 heme 촉매 산화반응에서 용매 상에 43.01% 토양 상에는 46.03%이고, hemoglobin 촉매 산화반응에서는 용매 상에 39.21%와 토양 상에 51.25%로 비슷한 분포를 보였다. 실험실 규모 pan 실험에서 초기 PCP농도 273$\pm$20 mg/kg과 TPH 6379$\pm$45 mg/kg인 오염토양에서 hemoglobin 촉매 산화 반응이 초기반응을 제외하고 7일 이후 반응에서 heme 촉매 산화반응보다 빠르게 분해되었고, 35일 반응 이후 PCP는 10 mg/kg 이하의 값을 나타내었고, TPH도 유사한 결과를 보여 주었다. 그러므로 건조 hemoglobin과 과산화수소에 의한 PCP 오염토양 복원기술은 분해율이 높고 경제성을 가지고 있으므로 기존의 복원공정을 대안으로 제시될 수 있다.

작업장 뿐만 아니라 일상생활에서도 결코 무시될 수 없는 것이 레져활동으로 인한 소음이다. 최근 급격히 늘어가는 개인 휴대용 카세트(Personal Cassette Players: PCP)사용은 심각한 소음성난청 발생이 우려된다. 본 연구는 PCP사용에 관련된 여러 인자들이 청력손실과 어떻게 얼마나 관련이 있는가를 파악 하고 PCP를 일정시간 사용했을 때 오는 청력 손실을 정량적으로 파악, 분석하는데 근본 목적을 둔다. 정상 청력을 가진 피실험자 18명의 대학생들을 대상으로 정상 청취조건 그리고 배경소음(지하철)에 노출 중과 후의 사용환경과 소음원으로 Hard Music, Soft Music 및 Language/News를 고려하여 평균소음도와 최고 소음도를 측정하였다. 또한 현실적 상황을 고려한 2시간 정도의 PCP의 청취 전과 후의 청력변화를 측정하였다. 통계 분석 결과, 사용환경과 소음원에 대해 휴대용 카세트 청취 소음수준이 유의한 차이가 있었으며, 특히 Hard Music 청취시에는 95dB, 그리고 지하철 소음하에서는 92dB의 높은 (위험한) 청취수 준을 보였다. 최고소음수준의 경우 NIOSH기준을 초과하는 117dB 정도의 매우 위험한 수준까지 나타났다. 또한 2 시간 정도의 PCP소음에 노출 전 후의 청력손실이 주파수 대역에 걸쳐 유의하게 나타났으며, 특히, 가장 민감한 주파수 대역인 4000Hz에서 최고 7dB 정도의 청력 손실이 발생하였다. 본 연구 결과에 따라, PCP사용에 대한 청력보호대책안을 제시하고자 한다.

This study aimed at preparing the solid propellants featuring high pressure exponent available for throttleable rocket system development. The combustion properties of solid propellant based on PCP as a prepolymer were investigated with the different nitramine oxidizer, HMX and HNIW. As a main oxidizer, HNIW could deliver higher burning rate, specific impulse and flame temperature than HMX. In addition, the introduction of AP as a co-oxidizer in PCP/Nitramine propellants could enhance burning rate, specific impulse and flame temperature, showing the lower pressure exponent with increasing the content of fine-sized AP, total solids and plasticizer. Moreover, we examined the temperature sensitivity on burning rate of propellants between 150 psia and 2,500 psia.

Experiments were carried out to determine the hematological changes in olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus, after sub-chronic dietary pentachlorophenol (PCP) concentrations (0, 0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 mg/kg) exposure 6 weeks. The RBC count, Ht and Hb were significantly decreased in PCP 0.5 mg/kg exposed flounder compared to control group. The flounder exposed to PCP concentration 0.5 mg/kg started to increase significantly in serum magnesium concentrations after 4 weeks. The low concentration of serum calcium concentration was observed at 6 weeks of the experiment in PCP concentration 0.5 mg/kg. Although serum total protein concentrations was significantly reduced compared to the control group at PCP concentration 0.5 mg/kg, serum glucose concentration was found to be significantly increased over the control group. A significant increment of GOT, GPT and LDH activities in the flounder serum was noticed after 4 weeks at PCP concentrations over 0.5 mg/kg without typical changes of Al-P. These results indicate that flounder can be affected by PCP in terms of inorganic matter, organic matter and enzyme activity in serum when they were exposed to the PCP concentrations 0.5 mg/kg or higher.

In construction of new ships and large steel bridges in Korea, pre-construction primers (PCP), also known as shop primer, are routinely used and retained as an integral part of the protective coating system. Retention of PCP's can significantly reduce building schedule and cost. Retaining PCP through the so-called "sweep blasting" procedure eliminates or minimizes the necessity of a second blast operation, thus shortening overall schedule as well as reducing labor cost and hazardous waste disposal cost. This study evaluates the feasibility of retaining PCP as the part of primer for high performance protective coating systems applied to ships' hull, bottom and ballast tanks. Upon proving that the retention of the PCP is a viable option, the process of coating application can he improved significantly in terms of cost and working schedule of new ships and large steel bridges. Results indicate that use of the PCP via sweeping blasting in conjunction with standard high performance protective coating systems does not degrade the overall performance of the coating systems. At the same time, it is also highly recommended that the secondary surface preparation should consist of grit blasting of weld burnt and other damaged areas to SSPC SP-IO grade (Sa 2.5 Gr.), Near White Blast Cleaning with proper application and attention to detail.

Objectives: We investigated whether a mixture of the main component of pomegranate concentrated powder (PCP) with appropriate proportions of Eucommiae Cortex (EC) and Achyranthis Radix (AR) could act synergistically as an effective treatment for osteoarthritis (OA). Methods: In order to evaluate the effects of PCP, EC, and AR against OA, knee thicknesses, maximum extension angle of each knee, anti - inflammation effects, the transcript levels of chondrogenic genes mRNA expressions in femur and tibia articular cartilage (AC) with synovial membrane (SM) were analyzed. In addition, the histopathology and immunohistochemistry of the femur and tibia AC or SM were performed. Results: The surgically-induced OA signs in rats were significantly inhibited by 28 days of continuous treatment of PCP, EC and AR single formulas, and PCP with EC:AR mixed formulas. Especially, PCP with EC:AR 4:1, 2:1 and 1:1 mixed formula treatment constantly showed significantly more favorable inhibitory activities, as compared with those of single formula of PCP, EC and AR treated rats. Conclusion: PCP and EC:AR 4:1 mixed formula showed similar OA refinement effects through potent anti-inflammatory pathways as compared with those of diclofenac treatment, and showed additional chondrocyte proliferating effects on the both femur and tibia AC.

The toxic effects of pentachlorophenol (PCP) on haematological parameters in olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) after chronic exposure to dietary PCP (0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 mg/kg diet) for 2, 4 and 6 weeks were studied. A significant decrease in total RBC count, haemoglobin concentration and hematocrit value was noted in fish exposed to PCP compared to the non-exposed fish. The PCP treatment group showed significantly lower concentration of serum total protein and albumin, and significantly higher serum chloride, magnesium and total bilirubin levels compared with those in the control group. However, PCP had no major effects on serum glucose, total cholesterol, phosphate and calcium ions in flounder. These results demonstrated that PCP have induced adverse haematological impacts in the olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus. Because we found damages in blood-forming function and disruption in blood homeostasis due to chronic exposure to PCP, it is needed to develop further experimental studies for the risk assessment of this environmental pollutant.

This study aimed to determine the optimal conditions for fabricating pitch pine (PCP) and Mongolian oak (MOK) pellets using chestnut-shell tea waste (CSW) and castor oil (CSO) as additives. For pellets fabricated using a pilot-scale flat-die pellet mill, all moisture content (MC) was in line with A1 wood pellet standards for residential and small-scale commercial uses designated by the National Institute of Forest Science at the Republic of Korea (NIFOS), regardless of fabricating conditions; the durability of PCP pellets prepared using PCP particles with 10% MC, and CSW addition also satisfied these criteria. The moisture tolerance of PCP pellets improved with combination of 2 wt% CSW and 2-6 wt% CSO. Overall, use of 20 mesh CSW as an additive, PCP with 10% MC, and MOK with 12% MC was found to be optimal. Moreover, using CSO as an additive, high-quality PCP and MOK pellets can be fabricated by adjusting the particles to 12% MC. However, the durability of PCP and MOK pellets prepared using these conditions did not meet the wood pellet standards for residential and small-scale commercial use. Therefore, further research is needed to improve the durability of these pellets.

Background : Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) is one of the most common cause of infection in patients with HIV infection. Recently, the incidence of PCP have been increasing in immunocompromised hosts without HIV infection. We compared the clinical characteristics of PCP between HIV infected and non-infected persons. Patients and Methods : We retrospectively reviewed the charts of 25 patients diagnosed as PCP from 1996 to 2002. Age, sex, underlying conditions, use of immunosuppressants, clinical courses, laboratory findings, treatment and prognosis were compared between HIV infected and non-infected persons. Results : Twenty-five patients with PCP were identified. 16 were HIV infected, and 9 were HIV non-infected. The mean age of overall patients was $43.4{\pm}13.2$ years. Underlying conditions in HIV non-infected persons were hematologic malignancy (7 cases), solid organ transplant (1 case), and autoimmune disease (1 case). Seven cases (77.8%) of HIV non-infected persons had a history of steroid use. Mean duration of symptoms was longer in HIV infected persons than in HIV non-infected persons, but it was not statistically significant. PaO2 was lower in HIV infected persons ($61.2{\pm}16.9$ mmHg vs. $65.4{\pm}15.4$), but it was not statistically significant. Chest X ray showed typical ground glass opacity in 12 cases (75%) of HIV infected persons and in 4 cases (44.4%) of HIV non-infected persons. Twelve cases (75%) of HIV infected persons were treated with steroid, as were 6 cases (66.7%) of HIV non-infected persons. Ventilator care was needed in 6 cases (37.5%) of HIV infected persons and in 2 cases (22.2%) of HIV non-infected persons. Mortality of HIV infected persons was 50%, and that of HIV non-infected persons was 11.1%. Conclusions : PCP showed some different clinical characteristics between HIV infected and non-infected persons. Prospective studies regarding the risk factors of PCP, prophylaxis, treatment and prognosis in HIV infected and non-infected persons are warranted.

To develope the enhanced bacterial strains capable of biodegradation for various chlorinated aromatic compounds, 100 bacterial strains were isolated from soil samples of suburbs of Taejon, Cheongju, and Jeonju by the enrichment culture. These strains can degrade pentachlorophenol (PCP) which is a kind of wood preservatives. Nineteen strains of the isolates were selected by fast colony-forming rate on solid minimal media containing PCP as an only source of carbon and energy. These strains were identified to genus level. Fifteen strains were identified as Pseudomonas, 1 strain as Acinetobacter and 3 strains were not. Genus Alcaligenes strains were not found among them. Pseudomonas sp. MU135. MU139, MU163 and MU 184 were able to degrade for 4 kinds of chlorinated compounds, PCP, 2,4-D, MCPA and 3CB. Pseudomonas sp. If was observed that MU139 exhibits the highest degradability in liquid minimal media at 72 hours after inoculation. Pseudomoans sp. MU147, MU177, MU184 and MU192 also degraded the compounds at higher rates. As the results, Pseudomonas sp. MU139 and unidentified strain MU184 had biodegrability for broad range of chlorinated compounds and higher rates of degradation for PCP.
