Serum immunoglobulins (Igs) from Israeli carp were purified using affinity chromatography. Fish were immunized with purified mouse IgG, and the specific fish antibodies were purified from the immune serum on a mouse IgG-immobilized agarose gel. Rabbit anti-Israeli carp Igs (R $\alpha$ I. carp Igs) antibodies were produced following hyperimmunization with mouse IgG specific carp antibodies. SDS-PAGE analysis under reducing condition showed that Israeli carp Igs were composed of two $\mu$-like heavy chains with about 82 and 50 kd, respectively, and one light chain with about 25 kd. On immunoblotting analysis, however, R $\alpha$ I. carp Igs failed to react with the light chain. When both protein A and protein G-purified normal carp Ig were compared with mouse IgG-specific Israeli carp Ig, no significant structural differences among them were observed. To investigate if there is any homology between other fish Ig molecules, cross-reactivity of R $\alpha$ I. carp Igs against Ig molecules from 6 different fish sera and mouse control serum was checked on immunoblotting analysis. As a result, R $\alpha$ I. carp Igs responded to Israeli carp, common carp, and tilapia Ig molecules. In flow cytometry study, however, R $\alpha$ I. carp Igs appeared to recognize 42.0%, 35.8% and <5% of Israeli carp, common carp and tilapia $Ig^+$ head kidney cells, respectively. The result suggests the heterogeneity between receptor Igs on B-like lymphocytes and soluble Igs in serum. It is crucial to obtain pure fish Igs to produce reagent antibodies as tools for the study on their specific immune responses.

The present study was performed to investigate the binding between salivary proteins(low-molecular-weight mucin;MG2, amylase, proline-rich proteins;PRPs) and oral pathogens(Streptococcus gordonii, Actinomyces viscosus, Staphylococcus aureus) by using solid-phase assay. In the case of transferring proteins to Immobilon-P, S. gordonii binds to MG2. A. viscosus binds to MG2, amylase, and PRPs, and S. aureus binds to MG2 and amylase. On nitrocellulose membrane, S, gordonii and A. viscosus bind to MG2, amylase, and PRPs. S. aureus binds to MG2 and PRPs. However, rabbit anti-A. viscosus antisera and rabbit anti-S. aureus antisera showed cross reactivity to PRPs adsorbed to only nitrocellulose membrane in negative control experiments, which were done without bacterial overlay. The results were different according to the membrane used as solid-phase, which reflected the assay-sensitive nature of binding experiment. PRPs and amylase are known to be components of tooth enamel pellicle. In addition, there was experimental evidence that PRPs and MG2 may covalently bind to oral mucosal epithelium. Considering above facts, the results of the present study can provide information on the interactions between salivary proteins and oral bacteria on tooth and oral mucosal surfaces.

Objectives: Animal husbandry workers could be exposed to various work hazards including toxic gases, chemicals such as pesticides or organic dust. Immunological evaluation focusing on respiratory allergic hypersensitivity occurrence was under-taken for swine farm workers as a part of the study on immunologic status of dairy barn, swine confinement, and poultry farm workers. Materials and Methods: Peripheral bloods were collected from 25 workers at the year of 2001 and 12 workers at the year of 2012 from swine farms located at Gyeonggi province, Korea. Seven adults not involved with animal husbandry were recruited at the year of 2001 from the same residential area as the swine farm workers'. Level of plasma IgE and 20 respiratory allergen-specific IgE were evaluated using commercially available ELISA kit. Results: Plasma IgE level was approximately five-fold higher in the swine farm workers regardless of the sampling year than the control subjects. Plant allergens from outdoor environments such as golden rod, pigweed, Russian thistle, or ragweed were the major allergens with positive reaction(allergen specific IgE${\geq}$0.7 IU/mL) for the swine farm workers at 2001 year. Meanwhile, house dust mite(Dermatophagoides farinae, D. pteronyssinus) and cockroach, typical indoor allergens in Korea, were the major respiratory allergens for the swine farm workers at 2012 year. Conclusions: Overall, even though our results are primitive, the results suggest that immunological function of swine farm workers could be modulated toward type-2 reactivity.

Objectives : Ryodoraku is a physiological function test using electric current, and is closely related to skin sympathetic tone. Pulse analysis is known to reflect cardiovascular reactivity. There has been no report on the correlation between ryodoraku and pulse analysis in respiratory diseases. The present study examined the diagnostic values of ryodoraku and pulse analysis for respiratory disease patients Methods : For this study, we conducted ryodoraku and pulse analysis in 103 people including 79 respiratory disease outpatients who visited the $5^{th}$ Internal Department of the Oriental Medicine Hospital of Kyung Hee University during the period from January 1, 2003 to July 25, 2006, and 24 volunteers who did not have any respiratory symptoms or disease history. The respiratory disease patients were divided into five sub-groups according to their symptom: cough-sputum group, wheezing-dyspnea group ' nasal symptoms group. cold-prone group, and fatigue prone group. We compared the disease groups with the control group in six items as follows : mean ryodoraku, mean H1, mean elastic index, the percentage of those with mean ryodoraku below $40{\mu}A$, the percentage of those with HI beyond the physiological range, and the ratio of left : right of elastic index Results and Conclusions : Ryodoraku and pulse analysis were found to have a high value as quantitative diagnosis tools reflecting individuals' weakness and firmness. The results of this research suggest that ryodoraku and pulse analysis have value as tools for diagnosing respiratory diseases.

1,3,5-benzenetricarbonyl trichloride는 3개의 아실클로라이드가 벤젠고리 1,3,5에 위치한 화학물질로, 높은 가교도를 통한 물리적·화학적 특성을 요구하는 곳에 사용하는 중요한 화학물이다. 특히 일정 기공크기를 갖고 있는 3차원 구조체 형성이 가능하여, 다양한 분리 정제 분야에 사용되고 있다. 하지만 아실클로라이드의 높은 반응성은 반응속도가 빠른 장점을 갖고 있지만, 다른 측면에서는 일정한 성능을 가질 수 있도록 화학적 제어가 어려운 점도 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 1,3,5-benzenetricarbonyl trichloride의 화학적 변화가 어떻게 분리막 성능에 영향을 주는지 관찰하였다.

고정원에서 발생되는 질소산화물을 $V/TiO_2$ 촉매하에서 암모니아를 이용하여 질소로 제거하는 선택적 촉매 환원법에 대하여 연구하였다. 이러한 SCR 공정은 촉매의 성능이 전체 공정의 성능을 좌우한다. 본 연구에서는 $V/TiO_2$ 촉매들의 저온 및 고온에서의 SCR 반응 특성을 조사하고 촉매상에서의 암모니아 거동을 통한 반응물의 흡 탈착 특성을 파악하였다. 실험은 고정층 반응기에서 수행하였으며, 촉매는 7종의 $TiO_2$에 동일한 양의 바나듐을 담지하였다. 실험결과 각각의 $TiO_2$와 바나듐간의 상호작용에 의해 비화학양론적인 바나듐 산화물들이 다르게 생성되기 때문에 $TiO_2$에 따라 다양한 반응활성을 나타내는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 각 촉매에 대하여 각각 최적의 소성온도가 존재하였으며 촉매의 활성도 각각 다르게 나타났다. 또한 촉매의 $NH_3-TPD$ 실험 결과 SCR 활성과 흡착된 $NH_3$의 양과는 직접적으로 일치하지 않았다.

Antiendometrial antibodies were tested by passive hemagglutination assay(PHA) and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) in sera of 45 patients with endometriosis and 21 controls for the evaluation of its clinical usefulness. Both titers(reciprocal) of serum antiendometrial antibody by PHA and ELISA reactivity against endometrial antigens at 405nm were significantly higher in patients with endometriosis than in the control group. Of 45 patients with endometriosis, twenty-six(57.8%) by PHA and twenty-three(51.1%) by ELISA were determined antiendometrial antibody positive but none of the controls were positive. Antiendometrial antibody titers were followed up by PHA and ELISA in 14 patients with high antiendometrial antibody titers before and after treatment with Decapeptyl. There was a decreasing tendency of antiendometrial antibody titers after treatment but there was no statistical significance. These data suggest that the measurement of circulating antiendometrial antibody may be useful for the diagnosis but not for the follow up of endometriosis.

This study proposes a new method of analyzing the burnup credit in boiling water reactor spent fuel assemblies against various operating parameters. The operating parameters under investigation include fuel temperature, axial burnup profile, axial moderator density profile, and control blade usage. In particular, the effects of variations in one and two operating parameters on the curve of effective multiplication factor ($k_{eff}$) versus burnup (B) are, respectively, the so-called single and compound effects. All the calculations were performed using SCALE 6.1 together with the Evaluated Nuclear Data Files, part B (ENDF/B)-VII238-neutron energy group data library. Furthermore, two geometrical models were established based on the General Electric (GE)14 $10{\times}10$ boiling water reactor fuel assembly and the Generic Burnup-Credit (GBC)-68 storage cask. The results revealed that the curves of $k_{eff}$ versus B, due to single and compound effects, can be approximated using a first degree polynomial of B. However, the reactivity deviation (or changes of $k_{eff}$, ${\Delta}k$) in some compound effects was not a summation of the all ${\Delta}k$ resulting from the two associated single effects. This phenomenon is undesirable because it may to some extent affect the precise assessment of burnup credit. In this study, a general formula was thus proposed to express the curves of $k_{eff}$ versus B for both single and compound effects.

석탄가스화기에서 방출되는 황을 제어하는 것은 가스정화시스템에서 연료가스 중의 황화수소를 제거하는 것이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 천연산 망간광석의 황화수소 제거능에 영향을 미치는 탈황제의 입자크기, 황화반응 온도 및 탈황제 특성에 대해서 고찰하였다. 실험결과 황화수소 제거능은 반응온도 $700^{\circ}C$에서 효과적이었으며 입자크기가 작을수록 탈황효율은 증가하였으나 그 차이는 크지 않았다. 온도가 증가할수록 탈황제의 응집으로 인해 입자 내 물질전달저항이 증가하여 반응성이 저하되며 SEM 사진으로 탈황제의 응집을 확인할 수 있었다. 실험으로부터 구한 평형비 ($P_{H_2O}/P_{H_2S}$)는 ${\log}(P_{H_2O}/P_{H_2S})=5653/T-3.7909$였다. 천연산 망간광석의 황화수소 제거능이 기존에 개발되어 있는 탈황제들과 비슷하기 때문에 탈황제로 사용할 수 있음을 알았다.

Textile industry has been recognized as an important pollution source due to its consumption of large volumes of water and chemicals. Textile wastewater contains very diverse chemicals in types and composition, among them the presence of dyes is highly visible and undesirable. In spite of these problems, there has not been a proper control for the wastewater because many dyes are difficult to be degraded or decolorized due to their complex structure and synthetic characteristics. This study has been progressed to evaluate more easily the potential decolorization of advanced treatment processes. It has been surveyed with the Y textile complex wastewater treatment plant, the raw wastewater has appeared very difficult biodegradability by 4.7 of $CODcr/BOD_5$ and 1,158.9 degree of color. In view of CODcr fractions, biodegradable COD portion was 46.4%, colloidal COD and real soluble COD was 45.3% and 31.5% each others. From research on unit processes, the degradable coefficient (k) became from 0.065 to $0.125d^{-1}$ by the processes, the decolorization appeared best efficiency by 30.1% (458.4 degree) in pre-ozone process. On the effluent from the biological process, the filterable CODcr became 129.3 mg/L, the biodegradable portion appeared 64.7% (83.6 mg/L), and the fixed dissolved solid (FDS), non-reactivity (NR), appeared very heavy portion by 80.5% (1,659.0 mg/L).
