소아 $^{99m}Tc-DMSA$ 검사에서 방광의 포함 여부에 따른 신장 섭취율의 차이를 비교 하였다. 팬텀실험과 임상실험으로 진행되었으며 3개의 컵으로 좌, 우측신장 그리고 방광에 위치시키고 좌, 우측 신장의 방사능은 일정한 양( 1.0 )으로 고정하였고 방광에 해당되는 컵에는 0, 0.5, 1, 2배 방사능의 차이를 두어 영상을 획득하였다. 임상환자는 $^{99m}Tc-DMSA$ (300uCi, 11MBq)을 주사하여 2시간 뒤 동일하게 영상 획득하여 각각 정량 분석하였다. 통계분석은 SPSS(ver 22.0) 으로 대응표본 T검증(paired T-test)을 사용하여 분석하였고 p<0.05는 통계적으로 유의하다고 판단하였다. 방광의 방사능을 제외한 양측 신장 섭취율은 $29.83{\pm}8.8%$(좌측), $24.29{\pm}6.66%$(우측)이었고, 방광을 포함했을 때 신장 섭취율은 $26.65{\pm}8.03%$(좌측), $21.78{\pm}6.24%$(우측)이었다. 신장 섭취율은 방광의 소변(방사능)이 증가할수록 양측 신장의 섭취율은 감소하였다. 이는 $^{99m}Tc-DMSA$ 신장스캔 시 좌, 우측 신장에서 방사능을 계수할 때 방광의 소변에 포함된 방사능의 계수가 포함되어 신장 섭취율 공식에서 총 계수가 포함되므로 실제 양측 신장 섭취율의 값이 감소되었다.

Field experiment was conducted during 1993-94 season to determine the pattern of nutrient uptake and productivity of maize/sweet potato intercropping system. Four levels of nitrogen (0, 50, 100 and 150kg N ${ha}_{-1}$) and four levels of potassium (0, 40, 80 and 120kg $K_2$O ${ha}_{-1}$) formed treatment variables. Plants were sampled periodically to determine dry matter and tissue concentrations of N and K in the individual plant components of intercropped maize and sweet potato. Nitrogen and potassium fertilizer did not interact significantly to nutrient uptake by any plant parts of intercropped maize and sweet potato. But application of N fertilizer independently enhanced N uptake in all the plant parts of maize and sweet potato. The uptake of N in leaf, leaf sheath, stem, husk, and cob of maize increased upto 90 days after planting (DAP) but grain continued to accumulate N till its maturity. Sweet potato exhibited a wide variation in N uptake pattern. Sweet potato leaf shared the maximum uptake of N at 50 DAP which rapidly increased at 70 DAP and then declined. Declination of N uptake by petiole and stem were observed after 120 DAP whereas N uptake by tuber increased slowly upto 90 DAP and then rapidly till harvest. Rate of applied K had very little effect on the uptake patterns in different components of intercropped maize. Pattern of K uptake by leaf, petiole and stem of sweet potato showed almost similar trend to N uptake. But uptake of K by tuber increased almost linearly with the K application. Pattern of N and K uptake by grain and tuber paralleled the grain yield of maize and sweet potato respectively. Intercropped productivity of maize and sweet potato found to be better by the application of 100kg N and 120 kg $K_2$O ${ha}_{-1}$

A seaweed biofilter/production system of being developed to reduce the environmental impact of marine fish farm effluent in coastal ecosystems as a part of an integrated aquaculture system. Several known seaweed taxa and their cultivars have been considered as candidate biofilter organisms based on their species-specific physiological properties such as nutrient uptake kinetics and their economic value. Porphyra is an excellent cadidate and shows efficient nutrient extraction properties. Rates of ammonium uptake were maintained at around 3 ${\mu}moles{\cdot}g{\cdot}dw^{-1}{\cdot}min^{-1}$ at 150 ${\mu}M$ inorganic nitrogen at $10^{\circ}C$. Ulva is another possible biofilter candidate with an uptake rate of 1.9 ${\mu}moles{\cdot}g{\cdot}dw^{-1}{\cdot}min^{-1}$ under same conditions. A simple uptake/growth and harvest model was applied to estimate the efficiency of the biofilter/production system. The model was deterministic and used a compartment model structure based on difference equations. The efficiency of Porpyra filter was estimated over 17% of ${NH_4}^+$ removal from the contimuous supply of 100 ${\mu}mole{\cdot}l^{-1}\;{NH_4}^+\;at\;100l{\cdot}sec^{-1}$ flow rate.

Background: The evaluation of individual renal function is important to diagnosis and follow-up of various diseases. Ureteral catheterization of each kidney has been widely used for this purpose, but this method had some technical difficulty, frequent complications and much restriction in reapplication. Therefore we tried to applicate radiopharmaceuticals for the evaluation of individual renal function. Methods: We measured 2 hour, 4 hour and 24 hour relative renal uptake of $^{99m}Tc-DMSA$ and relative glomerular filteration rate of $^{99m}Tc-DTPA$ with 59 patients with various renal diseases to determine their usefulness for assessment of individual renal function and to compare correlations between every renal uptake of $^{99m}Tc-DMSA$ and relative glomerular filteration rate. Results: The correlations between 2 hour-, 4 hour- and 24 hour- relative renal uptake of $^{99m}Tc-DMSA$ and relative glomerular filteration rate of $^{99m}Tc-DTPA$ were R=0.9190 (p < 0.001), R: 0.9229 (p<0.001) and R=0.9917 (p<0.001). In acute obstructive uropathy, the correlations at 2 hour and 4 houre were poor as R=0.1812 (p<0.05) and R=0.4923 (p < 0.05), but the correlation at 24 hour was good as R=0.9942 (p<0.001). Conclusions: We concluded that relative renal uptake at 2 hour and 4 hour had good correlation with relative DTPA uptake ratio in the cases without chronic renal failure and obstructive uropathy. Delayed image with 24 hour relative renal uptake $^{99m}Tc-DTPA$ had the best correlation with relative glomerular filteration rate of $^{99m}Tc-DTPA$ and that might be useful in evaluation of chronic renal disease in which showed increased beckground activity or acute obstructive uropathy.

Laboratory radiotracer experiments were conducted to determine assimilation efficiencies (AE) from ingested algal food and oxic sediment particles, uptake rates from the dissolved phase, and the efflux rates of Cd, Cr and Zn in the Asiatic clam Corbicula fluminea. Among three elements, AE from both algal and sediment food was greatest for Cd, followed by Zn and Cr. The AEs of tested elements from algal food (Phaeodactylum tricornutum) were consistently higher than those from sediments at a given salinity and temperature. The influence of salinity (0, 4 and 8 psu) and temperature (5, 13 and $21^{\circ}C$) on the metal AEs was not evident for most tested elements, except Cd AEs from sediment. The rate constant of metal uptake from the dissolved phase $(k_u)$ was greatest for Cd, followed by Zn and Cr in freshwater media. However, in saline water, the $(k_u)$ of Zn were greater than those of Cd. The influx rate of all tested metals increased with temperature. The efflux rate constant was greatest for Cr $(0.02\;d^{-1})$, followed by Zn $(0.010{\sim}0.017\;d^{-1})$ and $Cd\;(0.006\;d^{-1})$. The efflux rate constant for Zn in clam tissues depurated in 0 psu $(0.017\;d^{-1})$ was faster than that in 8 psu $(0.010\;d^{-1})$. Overall results showed that the variation of salinity and temperature in estuarine systems can considerably influence the metal bioaccumulation potential in the estuarine clam C. fluminea. The relatively high Cd accumulation capacity of C. fluminea characterized by the high AE, high dissolved influx rate and low efflux rate, suggested that this clam species can be used as an efficient biomonitor for the Cd contamination in freshwater and estuarine environments.

In existing design method for aeration tank water temperature was considered as governing variable for applying safety factor. This study tried a few new approach of aeration tank design using SOUR at various temperature conditions. Specific substrate utilization rate (U) and specific oxygen uptake rate (SOUR) both were analyzed at various temperature and SRT. The laboratory scale reactor was operated on various temperature ($10^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$, $25^{\circ}C$) and SRT (5day, 10day, 20day, 30day). In this study, SOUR tended to increase with the temperature increased. On the other hand, SOUR tended to decrease when SRT increased from 5 days to 30 days. Empirical equations were obtained SOUR=a/SRT+b and $SOUR=(a/m){\cdot}U+(b-a(n/m))$ from the relationship between SRT, U and SOUR. Empirical equations shows the possibility as a new design method for the aeration basin.

A batch and a continuous type experiments were conducted to test the conditions for simultaneous phosphorus release and uptake, and denitrification, taking place in one process. The bacteria able to denitrify as well as to remove phosphorus were evaluated for the application to biological nutrient removal(BNR) process. In the batch-type experiment, simultaneous reactions of phosphorus release and uptake, and also denitrification were observed under anoxic condition with high organic and nitrate loading. However the rate and the degree of P release were lower than that occurred under anaerobic condition. BNR processes composed of anaerobic-anoxic-oxic(AXO), anoxic-anaerobic-oxic(XAO) and anoxic-oxic(XO) were operated in continuous condition. The anoxic reactors in each process received nitrate loading. In the AXO process, P release in anaerobic reactor and the luxury uptake in oxic reactor proceeded actively regardless to nitrate loading. However in XAO and XO processes, P release and luxury uptake occurred only with the nitrate loading less than $0.07\;kg{NO_3}^--N$/kgMLSS-d. With higher nitrate load, P release increased and the luxury uptake decreased. Therefore, it appeared that the application of denitrifying phosphorus-removing bacteria (DPB) to BNR process must first resolve the problem with decrease of luxury uptake of phosphorus in oxic reactor.

To test the roles of NO$_3^-$ concentration and light as controlling factors of NO$_3^-$ uptake in the NO$_3^-$-low and -high environments and to assess the significance of night-time nitrogen (N) uptake in estimating the daily N uptake rate, 2 diel studies of N uptake were conducted in NO$_3^-$-low (the eastern part of the Yellow Sea) and NO$_3^-$-high (the marginal ice zone of the northwestern Weddell Sea) environments on June 14 to 15, 1996 and January 15 to 16, 1995, respectively. Ourobservations confirmed that NO$_3\;^-$ uptake by phytoplankton is mainly determined by ambient NO$_3^-$ concentration in NO$_3^-$-low environment and by light in NO$_3^-$-high environment, respectively, Our results suggest the need for diel studies to accurately estimate the daily N uptake rates and thus new and regenerated production because the daily rates calculated without considering the night-time N uptake would be significantly underestimated (up to 41%), particularly in the NO$_3^-$-low environment.
