The effect of long-term ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer) administration on the clearance of carboxyhemoglobin (CO-Hb) and the property of blood gases was investigated in rats. Rats were received ginseng water extract (0.025% in drinking water) for 42 weeks starting at the age of 6 weeks. They were exposed to the diluted mainstream smoke generated from 15 filter cigarettes for 20 min in a round polycarbonate chamber (D37 cmXH13 cm). Under this condition, the mean CO-Hb content of control and the ginseng-treated rats immediately after the exposure was nearly the same as 13.8$\pm$2.9 f) and 13.9$\pm$1.6%, respectively. However, CO-Hb was more rapidly removed from blood in the ginseng treated rats than in untreatEd control with the laps of time, namely, its biological half life In the former was 36.9$\pm$1.5 min and in the latter was 56.9$\pm$13.2 min. Although long-term ginseng treatment did not affect the content of hemoglobin and blood pH of rats, it slightly increased blood oxygen content and its partial pressure value, and decreased levels of carbon dioxide and bicarbonate. These results suggest that long-term administration of rats with ginseng extract accelerate the elimination of CO from the blood. This effect seems to be related to the enhancement of oxygen consumption of the rat by a certain action of ginseng components as previously reported.

This study investigated the smoke blocking and control systems for the safety of residents evacuation and for the prevention of smoke spread through the central corridor in the event of central corridor type of intelligent building fire. We offered additional ways of utilizing smoke ventilators and intake ventilation equipment and utilized CFD-based fire simulation program(FDS Ver.5.5.3) in order to analyze the effect. As a result, many differences in the smoke block effect, depending on the application of smoke ventilator and location of installation, was found. In addition, the result was found that larger effect was showed not in the case of application of smoke ventilator in central corridor only but application in fire room. The reason is that the smoke leakage is blocked primarily as air is flowed in the fire room through open door by operation of intake smoke ventilator in the public corridor and secondarily, the smoke leakage to the public corridor could be blocked as fire and smoke were released to the opened smoke ventilator continuously. Especially, the effect was maximized through complex interactions by applying smoke ventilator and intake ventilation equipment in corridor together rather than applying smoke ventilator and intake ventilation equipment independently. The proposed measure through this study shall be considered from architectural plan as one of ways for blocking from smoke spread to the central corridor in the central corridor type of intelligent building. In addition, flaws on regulation shall be established and supplemented.

This study evaluates the change of computer tomography (CT) number in the case of the metal artifact reduction (MAR) algorithm, using the phantom. The images were obtained from dual CT using a gammex 467 tissue characterization phantom, which is similar to human tissues. The test method was performed by dividing pre and post MAR algorithm and measured CT values of nonmagnetic materials within the phantom. In addition, the changes of CT values for each material were compared and analyzed after measuring CT values up to 140 keV, using the spectral HU curve followed by CT scan. As a result, in the cases of N rod (trabecular bone) and E rod (trabecular bone), the CT numbers decreased as keV increasing but were constant above 90 keV. In the cases of I rod (dense bone) and K rod (dense bone), the CT numbers also decreased as keV increased but were uniform above 90 keV. The CT numbers from 40 keV to 140 keV were consistent in the cases of J rod (liver), D rod (liver), L rod (muscle), and F rod (muscle). For A rod (adipose), G rod (adipose), B rod (breast) and O rod (breast), the CT numbers increased as keV increased but were constant after 90 keV. The CT numbers from 40 keV to 140 keV were consistent in the cases of C rod (lung (exhale)), P rod (lung (exhale)), M rod (lung (inhale)) and H rod (lung (exhale)). Conclusively, because dual CT exhibits no changes in image quality and is able to analyze nonmagnetic materials by measuring the CT values of various materials, it will be used in the future as a useful tool for the diagnosis of lesions.

Morphological and histochemical characteristics of the cells in posterior tentacle antenna of Korean slug, Incilaria fruhstorferi were observed with light microscope. The epithelium of the posterior tentacle antenna was composed of supporting cells, sensory neurons and type-a clear cell. The columnar supporting epithelium was widely distributed in the posterior tentacle antenna, and the upper end of the cell was covered with acidic mucopolysaccharide. Nerve endings of the sensory neuron were distributed between type-a clear cells. It was usually located in tentacular knob, and the number of them gradually decrdased as close as tentacular stalk. Several cilia were observed on the nerve ending. Type-a clear cells were very brightly stained with all staining used, and the neutral mucous guanules distributed in the cytoplasm. Collar cells, type-b clear cell and various types of secrdtory cells distributed in the connective tissue. The collar cells were clustering in connective tissue, and the cytoplasm were filled with neutral mucous guanules. The cells and granules were stained with dark brown by silver nitrate stain. Type-b clear cells were irregular in shape and their cytoplasms were brightly stained wth many stains used. Ten types of secretory cells evenly distributed in the connective tissue and muscle layers of the posterior tentacle antenna. The five types of the secretory cells(A, B, E, J and L)seemed to secrete acidic mucopolysaccharide, and the other five type of the cell(C, D, F, H, and L)seemed to secrete neutral mucopolysaccharide. Muscular tissue composed of well-developed thick longitudinal muscle layers and thin circular muscle layers. Type-L secretory cells clustered only in muscular layers and they contained acidic mucopolysaccharides.

To better understand the exact nature of the major toxic compound responsible for phytotoxicity of sorghum stem, the most toxic compound from the stem extract was isolated by rapid chromatography and subsequently purified by thin-layer chromatography(TLC) and high pressure liquid chromatography(HPLC). Of the eight fractions isolated by rapid chromatography, the fraction with solvent combinations of butanol (8) : acetic acid (1) : water (1) had the highest toxicity. Further separation of the fraction by TLC in a solvent mixture of butanol (24) : acetic acid (16.4) : water (7) : propanol (1) showed that the spot with an $R_f$ 0.71 had one major peak with retention time of 20.40 minutes. Upon subjecting gas chromatography and the HPLC fraction to the mass spectrometry, the toxic compound is probably one of the four compounds ; 1-methyl-1-(2-propynyl)-hydrazine, 1-aziridineethanol, 5-chloro-2-pentanone, and 2-(methylseleno)-ethanamine.

Purpose: To investigate the MRI and arthroscopic findings of osteochondral lesion of the talus which looked normal on plane radiography. Materials and methods: We investigated the MRI and arthroscopic findings of seven osteochondral lesions in which there were no abnormal finding on plane radiography and no cystic changes on MRI. Average age was 31 years(range, 19-43 years). Arthroscopic findings were classified according to the Ferkel's criteria. Results: History of injury was reported in all cases and the average duration from injury to presentation was 4 years and 4 months. Low signal change in T1WI was found in 6 of 7 lesions, no signal change in 1 case. Low signal change in T2WI was found in 4, no signal change in 3. 6 STIR images were obtained. High signal change was found in 3, no signal change in 2 and intermediate signal change was in 1. Arthroscopic grading was A in 1, C in 1, D in 2 , E in 1 and F in 2. We could not find any correlation between the findings on MRI and arthroscopic examination. Conclusion: We suggest arthroscopic examination is needed for accurate diagnosis of the osteochondral lesions of the talus which looked normal on plane radiography, because they have various MRl findings and high likelihood of existence of unstable cartilage lesions.

The monodisperse spherical $SiO_2$ particles were overcoated with $Y_2O_3:Eu^{3+}$ phosphor layers via a Pechini sol-gel process and the resulting $SiO_2@Y_2O_3:Eu^{3+}$ core-shell phosphors were subsequently annealed at $800^{\circ}C$ at an ambient atmosphere. The crystallographic structure, morphology, and luminescent property of core-shell structured $SiO_2@Y_2O_3:Eu^{3+}$ phosphors were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and photoluminescence (PL). The spherical, nonagglomerated $SiO_2$ particles prepared by a Stober method exhibited a relatively narrow size distribution in the range of 260-300 nm. The thickness of phosphor shell layer in the core-shell particles can be facilely controlled by varying the coating number of $Y_2O_3:Eu^{3+}$ phosphors. The core-shell structured $SiO_2@Y_2O_3:Eu^{3+}$ phosphors showed a strong red emission, which was dominated by the $^5D_0-^7F_2$ transition (610 nm) of $Eu^{3+}$ ion under the ultraviolet excitation (263 nm). The PL emission properties of $SiO_2@Y_2O_3:Eu^{3+}$ phosphors were also compared with pure $Y_2O_3:Eu^{3+}$ nanophosphors.
