  • Central anticholinergic syndrome occurs when an anticholinergic substance works in vivo or as a result of the insufficient release of acetylcholine. Its symptoms include confusion, agitation, behavioral change, hallucination, blurred vision, and dysarthria. Occasionally, these symptoms occur with the use of a scopolamine patch. A 54-year-old female complained of behavioral change and confused mentality. She attached a scopolamine patch at the postauricular area in the morning of the day before her hospital visit. Neurological examination revealed bilateral symmetric mydriasis without light reflex. The brain MRI was normal, and electroencephalography showed nonspecific abnormalities. The patient recovered completely after the removal of the scopolamine patch.

  • As conservation of global environment has becoming a major outstanding issue of the world, the International Maritime Organization(IMO) has been legislation a convention for prevention of air pollution from ships. By the new convention, use of air pollutants such as SOx, NOx, Freon and Halon Gas shall be restricted. In this regards, analysing these requirements of the convention is required as the convention will also be applied on restriction of discharging exhaust gases from ships by establishing a requirement of SOx and NOx discharged. The purposed of this study is as follows ; 1) Introducing of the backgrounds of legislating the convention for prevention of air pollution from ships and major contents of the convention and a countermeasures on the convention by Korea. 2) Reviewing by analyzing the influence on domestic industies concerned by restriction of SOx, NOx in exhaust gases and sulphur content of fuel oil. 3) Preparing a countermeasure on the convention properly.

  • Until 1960 water pollution was caused by virus but now in according to industrial develop cent it has been continued environmental pollution by surfactant heavy metal, and hazardous chemical substance erst.. It is possible to Prevent contamination by virus owing to development of antibiotic but not to dissolve basely health effect by hazardous chemical substances because it takes very long time, about 5-40 years, average 20 years, in appearing a disease after exposure by then To maintain human life for 75 years, it need 55 ton of water. In the experiment of Public Health Institute, Tokyo, they reported that over 200 chemical substances can be detected in case of human being to drink tap water of Tokyo(1989) continuously. In our country, elevation of life style and development of industry result in increase of water use and overappreciation of pesticides in farm land a(sects drinking water quality. We estimated analytical item of drinking water hygienically by dividing into 5 groups such as physical effect item health hazardous inorganic item and health hazardous organic item ect. based on hygienic purpose.

  • Spandex is a elastomeric fiber in which the-fiber-forming substance is a long chain polymer consisting of at least 85% segmented polyurethane. In the polyurethanes there are the additional oxygen atoms in the main chains of the molecule. The effect of these oxygen atoms is to make the molecule somewhat more flexible. From a physical point of view, elasicity and recovery from stretch are the most important properties of polyurethane, so its use has now expanded into many kitting industry. In this paper, I wish to Test the effect of dyeing condition on the quality of polyurethane.

  • This study investigated the effects of the alkaline detergent and acid rinse used for cleaning milking machines on the eight commercially available teatcup liner materials. The sample liners prepared for use in the clean-in-place process were analyzed by ultraviolet spectrophotometer, ion chromatography and liquid chromatography. Among the eight liner materials, the ultraviolet spectra of 3 sample liners were shown to have a similar peak shape after cleaning, but the ultraviolet spectra peak shape of 5 sample liners was noticeably changed. No products were detected by ion chromatography in any of the liner materials used in this study. When the liner materials were only treated with alkaline detergent, some additional peaks were observed using liquid chromatography which indicate the creation of molecular substance and elution from liner materials, however, these peaks disappeared when the liner materials were cleaned with the acid rinse. Therefore, we propose that an acid rinse should be applied, after cleaning the milking machine with the alkaline detergent.

  • The possibility of using polypyrrole as a drug delivery system(DDS) has been studied using indicate (Phenol red) and substance with therapeutic activity(Sodium salicylate). In aqueous solution, negative potential is applied to polypyrrole then anion(with therapeutic activity) of sodium salicylate is released by redox processes of polypyrrole. The release amount of anionic drugs from polypyrrole is measured by UV-visible spectrometer which can measure UV-absorbance of materials. Electrode area that use for release amount measurement is$50mm^{2}(5{\times}10mm)$,and thickness of polypyrrole membrane is $15{\mu}m$. DC 1V applied in saline solution, the release amount according to time increased gradually. In various electrode area, release amount of anionic drug is directly to electrode area.

  • Polystyrene is frequently used for food packaging because of its eaxy processing rigidity , and low cost. Styrene, which is present in detectable amouts in the polymer, is usually considered to be the substance responsible for the possible tainting of a polystyrene-packed food by migration. The contamination of foods and beverages by trace amounts of materials which have migrated from plastics use din packaging is a concern both on the grounds of adversely affecting product quality and of food safety. These lead to increasing attention to the potentional hazards of a large variety of plastic materials and foods. In this paper we reviewed the history of Styrene and various analytical methods of sample preparation and detection to assess the extent to which styrene is present in food-grade polystrene materials and to what extent it leaked into foods and food stimulants.

  • Water is the origin of all things and has been standing as a symbol of eternity which neglectes birth and death, or time and space. We mankind , however, confronts the water pollution or moreover the situation threatening even our existence as the results of considering it as mere consumables without any study on its original meaning or nature. Now, we should search for the way to understand the substance of water and to use it in the course of nature, getting rid of the altitude of merely consuming it. Our traditional way of life is in harmony with the nature and water has been adopted in the space as the important element of the nature especially as per the theory of geomancy. Man can be inspired by the plasticity , motion, sound , and reflectivity of water adopted and harmonized in the space, and the concept such as water both of inner and outer space or hierachy of a microcosmis to be composed by the natural order which lines up a man-water-space.
