나균(M. leprae)을 비롯한 항산균(mycobacterium)의 시험관내 생리력 또는 생명력평가법(in vitro assessment of physiological potential or viability)으로 형광분광측정법(fluorospectrophotometry)를 고안하였다. 균액을 비형광성의 fluorescein diacetate(FDA)로 처리, 균체의 생대사능에 의해 FDA로부터 유리된 체내 fluorescein 량을 Aminco-Bowman 형광분광기로 측정함으로 균체의 생리능을 fluorounit로 표기해 보았다. Fluorounit로 표기된 균체의 생명력을 균배양의 광학밀도(optical density, colony forming unit, 체내 ATP 량 intracellular ATP content)등으로 표기되는 항산균의 생명력고 비교 검토함으로 형광분광법에 의한 시험관내 항산균의 생명력 평가법의 적합성을 살펴보았다. 형광분광측정에 의한 생명도의 평가는 객관성을 띤 기기정량법으로 조작이 간단하고 신속하게 결과를 얻을 수 있어 시험관내 배양의 속도가 완만한 균이나(slow growing mycobacteria, I.e.M. lerpae, Listeriae sp)등의 생명력의 상대적 평가에 활용될 수 있다고 사료된다.

River otter(Lutra lutra) are listed as endangered species and Natural monument in Korea, and this study examined the possibility of extinct of river otter in Hongchon river using with the application of Population Viability Analysis (PVA) technique. In Hongchon river areas population was estimated 9 individuals for the last 1999-2005 years and PVA analysis was done for the next 10 years using the average population of 9. Using the initial population the river otter was estimated 30% of extinct for the next 10 years. This estimation was quite low considering water pollution and construction of highways. Also PVA only used population size lacking in other life history information. Nonetheless river otter population can be in risk of extinction if the current construction of crossovers, cement bank are maintained. Long term information regarding life history needs essential.

The potential for recovery of left ventricular dysfunction after myocardial revascularization represents a practical clinical definition for myocardial viability. The evaluation of viable myocardium in patients with severe global left ventricular dysfunction due to coronary artery disease and with regional dysfunction after acute myocardial infarction is an important issue whether left ventricular dysfunction may be reversible or irreversible after therapy. If the dysfunction is due to stunning or hibernation, functional improvement is observed. but stunned myocardium may recover of dysfunction with no revascularization. Hibernation is chronic process due to chronic reduction in the resting myocardial blood flow. There are two types of myocardial hibernation: "functional hibernation" with preserved contractile reserve and "structural hibernation" without contractile reserve in segments with preserved glucose metabolism. This review focus on the application of F-18 FDG and other radionuclides to evaluate myocardial viability. In addition the factors influencing predictive value of FDG imaging for evaluating viability and the different criteria for viability are also reviewed.

Many accidents occur on the oceans. Accidents involving ships can cause enormous damage. When an accident occurs, the cost of environmental restoration can bankrupt even a top-ranked international company. The potential damages resulting from ship accidents have resulted in many international agreements such as MARPOL, SOLAS, ISM Code, etc. The viability of damaged ships has become more and more important. A damaged ship's viability and cargo safety can be improved by a safety assessment design procedure. We consider th￡ shipbuilding industry's distributed characteristics to define a safety assessment system with software engineering-based requirements analysis. We used a distributed network-based simulation method (HLA - High level architecture), because of ease of reuse and expansion of existing components to other situations, and because it is a military standard. HLA is the standard for distributed network-based simulation in many countries including the United States, Canada, Israel, and Korea. The paper describes research to develop a prototype of a network-based safety assessment simulation system by software engineering based analysis.

Spermatozoa viability can be assessed by microscopy, flow cytometry, and other methods using fluorescent stain. Flow cytometry can be used to examine the morphological and functional characteristics of spermatozoa in a short time. The purpose of this study was to compare the viability of cryopreserved spermatozoa in Jeju black cattle by two dual fluorescent stain methods. Semen of Jeju black cattle raised in Subtropical Livestock Research Institute, National Institute of Animal Science, RDA were collected with artificial vaginal technique. Sperm was diluted with $Triladyl^{(R)}$-egg yolk diluent and then was performed cryopreservation. There was no significant difference in viability of spermatozoa according to the two dual fluorescent stain methods. However, when the distribution of spermatozoa according to the staining method was compared, the spermatozoa group stained with 6-CFDA/PI was more clearly distinguished than the spermatozoa group stained with calcein AM/PI.

Wintering migratory species of white-fronted geese (Anser albifrons) are common visitor in South Korea, and this study examined the survivorship of white-fronted geese in the Junam Reservoir with the application of Population Viability Analysis (PVA) technique. In Junam PVA analysis was done for the next 50 years using factors of breeding population, sex ratios, survivorship in the VORTEX program. As a result white-fronted geese will reach to carrying capacity within 40 years, and population will reach to carrying capacity later when it becomes smaller. Also with a large initial population white-fronted geese will reach to carrying capacity earlier. In conclusion, for the next 50 years the white-fronted geese are expected to a long-term survival with stable condition with survivorship (0.03) and extinction rate (0.0).

There is increasing interest in the rapid and highly sensitive monitoring of cell viability in biological and toxicological research. Conventional methods depend on optical assays using Water Soluble Tetrazolium-8 (WST-8) or 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazolyl-2)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, which requires a large volume of samples and special instruments, necessitating shipment of clinical samples to laboratories. This paper reports on the development of a rapid and sensitive electrochemical (EC) sensor using screen printed electrode (SPE) and surface modification using 4'-mercapto-N-phenylquinone diamine (4'-NPQD), as double electron mediators, for monitoring cell viability via the measurement of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH). We used the sensor to observe the viability of MCF-7 and doxorubicin (Dox)-treated cells. The oxidation current of NADH was measured via chronoamperometry (CA), and the EC results showed a good linear relationship when compared with NADH quantification using WST-8 assay. The analysis time was only 10 s and limit of detection (LOD) of NADH was 1.78 µM. Our EC method has the potential to replace conventional WST assays for cell viability and cytotoxicity experiments.

As climate change and environmental degradation become more evident, the public's concern and knowledge on sustainable development requires planners to have regards to social impacts and long term economic viability, as well as environmental impacts. The main objective of this study is to analyze existing sustainability assessment tools for single detached houses. The most widely used oversea tools are selected. From analysis on the existing assessment tools, "Impact Estimator" by Athena Institute, "Bees 4.0" by NIST, "CASBEE for Home" by JSBC, "Envest for Housing" by Energy Saving Trust, "LISA" by Center for Sustainable Technology, "SBTool" by iiSBE (International Initiative for Sustainable Built Environment), it can be seen that the current sustainability assessment programs are in need of much improvement. The selected programs are analyzed on scope of program setting & running, data input & output, assessment categories, and strength & weakness. This study is to supplement the existing sustainability assessment tools for single detached houses, and provide information for the development of web-based program to assist architects or home owners to plan sustainable houses in Korea in the schematic design stage.

심근생존능은 심기능이 저하되어 있으나 적절한 치료에 의해 심기능이 회복될 수 있는 상태를 말하며, 기절심근과 동면심근으로 대변할 수 있다. 기절심근은 심근관류가 정상이지만 아직 심근기능이 회복이 안된 상태로 수 시간 내지 수주일 후에 회복이 되는 상태를 말하며, 동면심근은 심근관류가 오랫동안 감소되어 있어 심기능 저하되어 있지만 심근관류를 정상화시켜주면 바른 시간내에 심기능이 회복되는 상태를 말한다. 임상적으로는 이 두가지 상태가 혼합된 경우도 있으리라 추측되고 있다. 심근생존능을 진단하는 것은 재혈관화 치료를 시행하기 전에 미리 환자의 예후를 결정해 줄 수 있다는 점에서 임상적인 의의가 있다. 그 진단법으로는 PET에 의해 심근대사기능이 존재함을 증명하는 것이 표준으로 되어 있으나, 그 외에도 심장초음파, 심장 MRI등을 이용한 검사법, $^{201}TI$ 또는 $^{99m}Tc-MIBI$를 이용한 신티그라피등의 검사법이 있다. 현재까지 보고된 바를 종합하면 $^{201}TI$ 부하-재분포-재주사영상법이 가장 우수한 것으로 사료되나, 각 진단법이 개선 또는 개발되고 있으므로 이에 대한 계속적인 관심이 필요하며, 핵의학적인 진단방법도 계속적으로 발전시킬 필요가 있다고 사료된다.
