  • Results will be presented from two field studies that evaluated the in-situ treatment of chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons (CAHs) using aerobic cometabolism. In the first study, a cometabolic air sparging (CAS) demonstration was conducted at McClellan Air Force Base (AFB), California, to treat chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons (CAHs) in groundwater using propane as the cometabolic substrate. A propane-biostimulated zone was sparged with a propane/air mixture and a control zone was sparged with air alone. Propane-utilizers were effectively stimulated in the saturated zone with repeated intermediate sparging of propane and air. Propane delivery, however, was not uniform, with propane mainly observed in down-gradient observation wells. Trichloroethene (TCE), cis-1, 2-dichloroethene (c-DCE), and dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration levels decreased in proportion with propane usage, with c-DCE decreasing more rapidly than TCE. The more rapid removal of c-DCE indicated biotransformation and not just physical removal by stripping. Propane utilization rates and rates of CAH removal slowed after three to four months of repeated propane additions, which coincided with tile depletion of nitrogen (as nitrate). Ammonia was then added to the propane/air mixture as a nitrogen source. After a six-month period between propane additions, rapid propane-utilization was observed. Nitrate was present due to groundwater flow into the treatment zone and/or by the oxidation of tile previously injected ammonia. In the propane-stimulated zone, c-DCE concentrations decreased below tile detection limit (1 $\mu$g/L), and TCE concentrations ranged from less than 5 $\mu$g/L to 30 $\mu$g/L, representing removals of 90 to 97%. In the air sparged control zone, TCE was removed at only two monitoring locations nearest the sparge-well, to concentrations of 15 $\mu$g/L and 60 $\mu$g/L. The responses indicate that stripping as well as biological treatment were responsible for the removal of contaminants in the biostimulated zone, with biostimulation enhancing removals to lower contaminant levels. As part of that study bacterial population shifts that occurred in the groundwater during CAS and air sparging control were evaluated by length heterogeneity polymerase chain reaction (LH-PCR) fragment analysis. The results showed that an organism(5) that had a fragment size of 385 base pairs (385 bp) was positively correlated with propane removal rates. The 385 bp fragment consisted of up to 83% of the total fragments in the analysis when propane removal rates peaked. A 16S rRNA clone library made from the bacteria sampled in propane sparged groundwater included clones of a TM7 division bacterium that had a 385bp LH-PCR fragment; no other bacterial species with this fragment size were detected. Both propane removal rates and the 385bp LH-PCR fragment decreased as nitrate levels in the groundwater decreased. In the second study the potential for bioaugmentation of a butane culture was evaluated in a series of field tests conducted at the Moffett Field Air Station in California. A butane-utilizing mixed culture that was effective in transforming 1, 1-dichloroethene (1, 1-DCE), 1, 1, 1-trichloroethane (1, 1, 1-TCA), and 1, 1-dichloroethane (1, 1-DCA) was added to the saturated zone at the test site. This mixture of contaminants was evaluated since they are often present as together as the result of 1, 1, 1-TCA contamination and the abiotic and biotic transformation of 1, 1, 1-TCA to 1, 1-DCE and 1, 1-DCA. Model simulations were performed prior to the initiation of the field study. The simulations were performed with a transport code that included processes for in-situ cometabolism, including microbial growth and decay, substrate and oxygen utilization, and the cometabolism of dual contaminants (1, 1-DCE and 1, 1, 1-TCA). Based on the results of detailed kinetic studies with the culture, cometabolic transformation kinetics were incorporated that butane mixed-inhibition on 1, 1-DCE and 1, 1, 1-TCA transformation, and competitive inhibition of 1, 1-DCE and 1, 1, 1-TCA on butane utilization. A transformation capacity term was also included in the model formation that results in cell loss due to contaminant transformation. Parameters for the model simulations were determined independently in kinetic studies with the butane-utilizing culture and through batch microcosm tests with groundwater and aquifer solids from the field test zone with the butane-utilizing culture added. In microcosm tests, the model simulated well the repetitive utilization of butane and cometabolism of 1.1, 1-TCA and 1, 1-DCE, as well as the transformation of 1, 1-DCE as it was repeatedly transformed at increased aqueous concentrations. Model simulations were then performed under the transport conditions of the field test to explore the effects of the bioaugmentation dose and the response of the system to tile biostimulation with alternating pulses of dissolved butane and oxygen in the presence of 1, 1-DCE (50 $\mu$g/L) and 1, 1, 1-TCA (250 $\mu$g/L). A uniform aquifer bioaugmentation dose of 0.5 mg/L of cells resulted in complete utilization of the butane 2-meters downgradient of the injection well within 200-hrs of bioaugmentation and butane addition. 1, 1-DCE was much more rapidly transformed than 1, 1, 1-TCA, and efficient 1, 1, 1-TCA removal occurred only after 1, 1-DCE and butane were decreased in concentration. The simulations demonstrated the strong inhibition of both 1, 1-DCE and butane on 1, 1, 1-TCA transformation, and the more rapid 1, 1-DCE transformation kinetics. Results of tile field demonstration indicated that bioaugmentation was successfully implemented; however it was difficult to maintain effective treatment for long periods of time (50 days or more). The demonstration showed that the bioaugmented experimental leg effectively transformed 1, 1-DCE and 1, 1-DCA, and was somewhat effective in transforming 1, 1, 1-TCA. The indigenous experimental leg treated in the same way as the bioaugmented leg was much less effective in treating the contaminant mixture. The best operating performance was achieved in the bioaugmented leg with about over 90%, 80%, 60 % removal for 1, 1-DCE, 1, 1-DCA, and 1, 1, 1-TCA, respectively. Molecular methods were used to track and enumerate the bioaugmented culture in the test zone. Real Time PCR analysis was used to on enumerate the bioaugmented culture. The results show higher numbers of the bioaugmented microorganisms were present in the treatment zone groundwater when the contaminants were being effective transformed. A decrease in these numbers was associated with a reduction in treatment performance. The results of the field tests indicated that although bioaugmentation can be successfully implemented, competition for the growth substrate (butane) by the indigenous microorganisms likely lead to the decrease in long-term performance.

  • 목 적: 우유 과민성 장병증(cow's milk-sensitive enteropathy, CMSE)은 우유를 식이 하였을 때 유해 반응과 함께 발생하는 상부 소장 점막의 손상이 병리적 특징으로 관찰되며, 이러한 점막의 손상은 우유를 제거하면 회복될 수 있고, 다시 유발시험을 하면 재발될 수 있다. CMSE 환자에서 소장 점막 손상의 정도를 형태학적 계측을 이용하여 정량적으로 분석하여 보고, 이를 이용한 CMSE의 진단적 가치 및 병리적 특성에 관하여 알아보고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1994년 3월부터 1996년 6월까지 만성 설사와 성장 장애를 주소로 대구효성가톨릭 대학병원 소아과에 입원한 환자에서 우유에 대한 유발, 제거시험에 따른 임상적 반응 및 상부위장 관내시경을 시술하여 얻게 된 십이지장부의 생검조직 소견을 통하여 CMSE로 진단된 생후 $30.4{\pm}11.7$(14~56)일된 13명의 환아를 대상으로 하였다. 소장 생검조직의 형태학적 계측을 이용하여 융모 높이(villous height, VH), 음와 영역 깊이(crypt zone depth, CZD), 점막전체 두께(total mucosal thickness, TMT), 음와 영역에 대한 융모의 상대적 높이(VH/CD), 융모 1 mm당 상피세포간 림프구의 수(interepithelial lymphocytes, IEL), 0.5 mm의 점막근육판(muscularis mucosa)에 해당하는 상피 표면의 길이(length of surface epithelium, LSE), 상피층의 호산구 침윤(EOS-EP), 고유층(lamina propria)의 호산구 침윤(EOS-LP)을 측정하고, 대조군 및 회복기 생검 조직과 비교하였다. 결 과: 1) VH는 CMSE 환자군에서 $135{\pm}59\;{\mu}m$으로 대조군 $408{\pm}48\;{\mu}m$에 비하여 유의하게 낮았으며(p<0.001), 전례에서 융모 위축의 소견이 관찰되었다. 2) CZD는 CMSE 환자군에서 $311{\pm}65\;{\mu}m$으로 대조군 $188{\pm}24\;{\mu}m$에 비하여 유의하게 깊었다(p<0.05). 3) TMT는 CMSE 환자군에서 $449{\pm}56\;{\mu}m$으로 대조군 $596{\pm}71\;{\mu}m$에 비하여 유의하게 낮았다(p<0.001). 4) VH/CD는 CMSE 환자군에서 $0.46{\pm}0.28$로 대조군 $2.17{\pm}0.12$에 비하여 유의하게 낮았다(p<0.001). 5) LSE는 CMSE 환자군에서 $889{\pm}231\;{\mu}m$으로 대조군 $2547{\pm}378\;{\mu}m$에 비하여 유의하게 낮았다(p<0.001). 6) IEL은 CMSE 환자군에서 $34.1{\pm}10.5$개로 대조군 $13.6{\pm}3.6$개에 비하여 유의하게 높았다(p=0.001). 7) EOS-EP는 CMSE 환자군에서 $0.47{\pm}0.83$개로 의미 있는 침윤은 관찰되지 않았으며, 대조군 $0.80{\pm}0.84$개와 유의한 차이는 보이지 않았다. EOS-LP는 환자군에서 $2.67{\pm}3.72$개로 의미 있는 침윤은 관찰되지 않았으며, 대조군 $4.0{\pm}2.5$개와 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 8) 회복기의 형태학적 변화는 VH $320{\pm}34\;{\mu}m$, CZD는 $194{\pm}19\;{\mu}m$, TMT $514{\pm}21\;{\mu}m$, VH/CD $1.41{\pm}0.25$, LSE $1840{\pm}210\;{\mu}m$, IEL $10.8{\pm}2.3$개로 관찰되었다. 결 론: 소장 조직의 생검은 상부위장관내시경을 이용하여도 그 임상적 유용성이 높으며, CMSE 환자에서 소장 점막의 손상은 형태학적 계측을 통하여 정량적으로 평가할 수 있으며 진단적 민감도가 높다. CMSE에서 점막의 손상은 빠른 융모 상피의 손상에 대한 음와 세포의 충분한 보상의 실패로 사료되며, 단백질 가수분해물의 수유후 빠른 회복이 관찰되었다.

  • 본 시험은 본 시험은 토종오리 대형종의 생산지수, 도체수율 및 육질을 주령에 따라 평가하여 적정 출하시기를 구명하고자 수행하였다. 공시동물은 국립축산과학원에서 보유하고 있는 토종오리 대형종에서 발생된 병아리 90수로서 15수씩 6칸으로 나누고, 육용오리 사료를 이용하여 8주 동안 사양하였다. 일정 주령(6주령, 7주령 및 8주령)에 도달하였을 때 각각의 주령을 처리구로 하고, 칸 당 2수씩을 도압(屠鴨)하여 처리구당 6반복, 반복 당 2수씩 총 36수의 도체 수율, 부분육 비율 그리고 육질을 조사하였다. 생존율은 주령에 따른 차이가 없었으나, 체중은 6주령에 비해 7주령과 8주령에서 높았다(P<0.05). 사료 요구율은 6주령, 7주령 및 8주령에 각각 2.25, 2.69 및 3.21로 주령 사이에서 유의적인 차이가 있었다(P<0.05). 생산지수는 6주령, 7주령, 8주령에 각각 256.6, 199.8 및 153.0으로 주령에 따라 유의적인 차이가 있었다(P<0.05). 도체 수율은 8주령에 73.5%이었으며 6주령과 7주령에 비해 높게 나타났다(P<0.05). 가슴육의 비율은 주령이 지날수록 높아졌다(P<0.05). 명도($L^*$)는 6주령, 7주령 및 8주령에 각각 41.8, 39.0, 38.1로 6주령에서 7주령과 8주령에 비해 높게 나타났다(P<0.05). 적색도($a^*$)는 주령에 관계없이 일정하게 유지되었으며, 황색도($b^*$)는 8주령에 가장 높게 나타나는 것으로 나타났다(P<0.05). 가열 감량은 6주령에 31.6으로 가장 높았으며, 주령이 지남에 따라 감소하였다. 전단력은 6, 7, 8주령의 비교에서 유의적인 차이가 없었으며, 보수력은 6주령에 비해 8주령에 유의적으로 높게 나타났다. pH는 6, 7, 8주령에 각각 5.84, 5.99, 6.01로 6주령에서 가장 낮게 나타났으며(P<0.05), 7주령과 8주령의 pH는 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 수분함량은 주령이 지남에 따라 유의적으로 감소하였으며(P<0.05), 지방함량은 8주령에 1.88%로 가장 높게 나타났다(P<0.05). 단백질의 함량은 주령의 경과에 따라 유의적으로 높아져서 8주령에는 20.9%로 나타났다(P<0.05). 회분 함량은 6주령에 비해 7주령과 8주령에 높게 나타났다(P<0.05). 다즙성, 연도 및 향미는 주령에 따른 유의차는 없었다. 결론적으로, 6주령에 비해 7주령과 8주령 사이의 육질 특성이 우수하며, 7주령과 8주령의 출하체중이 유사하기에 7주령 이후가 출하시기로 적절하다고 사료되나, 아직 확정짓기에는 부족한 점이 많기 때문에 더욱 많은 연구가 필요하다고 하겠다.

  • The herbicide has become indispensable as much as nitrogen fertilizer in Korean agriculture from 1970 onwards. It is estimated that in 1991 more than 40 herbicides were registered for rice crop and treated to an area 1.41 times the rice acreage ; more than 30 herbicides were registered for field crops and treated to 89% of the crop area ; the treatment acreage of 3 non-selective foliar-applied herbicides reached 2,555 thousand hectares. During the last 25 years herbicides have benefited the Korean farmers substantially in labor, cost and time of farming. Any herbicide which causes crop injury in ordinary uses is not allowed to register in most country. Herbicides, however, can cause crop injury more or less when they are misused, abused or used under adverse environments. The herbicide use more than 100% of crop acreage means an increased probability of which herbicides are used wrong or under adverse situation. This is true as evidenced by that about 25% of farmers have experienced the herbicide caused crop injury more than once during last 10 years on authors' nationwide surveys in 1992 and 1993 ; one-half of the injury incidences were with crop yield loss greater than 10%. Crop injury caused by herbicide had not occurred to a serious extent in the 1960s when the herbicides fewer than 5 were used by farmers to the field less than 12% of total acreage. Farmers ascribed about 53% of the herbicidal injury incidences at their fields to their misuses such as overdose, careless or improper application, off-time application or wrong choice of the herbicide, etc. While 47% of the incidences were mainly due to adverse natural conditions. Such misuses can be reduced to a minimum through enhanced education/extension services for right uses and, although undesirable, increased farmers' experiences of phytotoxicity. The most difficult primary problem arises from lack of countermeasures for farmers to cope with various adverse environmental conditions. At present almost all the herbicides have"Do not use!" instructions on label to avoid crop injury under adverse environments. These "Do not use!" situations Include sandy, highly percolating, or infertile soils, cool water gushing paddy, poorly draining paddy, terraced paddy, too wet or dry soils, days of abnormally cool or high air temperature, etc. Meanwhile, the cultivated lands are under poor conditions : the average organic matter content ranges 2.5 to 2.8% in paddy soil and 2.0 to 2.6% in upland soil ; the canon exchange capacity ranges 8 to 12 m.e. ; approximately 43% of paddy and 56% of upland are of sandy to sandy gravel soil ; only 42% of paddy and 16% of upland fields are on flat land. The present situation would mean that about 40 to 50% of soil applied herbicides are used on the field where the label instructs "Do not use!". Yet no positive effort has been made for 25 years long by government or companies to develop countermeasures. It is a really sophisticated social problem. In the 1960s and 1970s a subside program to incoporate hillside red clayish soil into sandy paddy as well as campaign for increased application of compost to the field had been operating. Yet majority of the sandy soils remains sandy and the program and campaign had been stopped. With regard to this sandy soil problem the authors have developed a method of "split application of a herbicide onto sandy soil field". A model case study has been carried out with success and is introduced with key procedure in this paper. Climate is variable in its nature. Among the climatic components sudden fall or rise in temperature is hardly avoidable for a crop plant. Our spring air temperature fluctuates so much ; for example, the daily mean air temperature of Inchon city varied from 6.31 to $16.81^{\circ}C$ on April 20, early seeding time of crops, within${\times}$2Sd range of 30 year records. Seeding early in season means an increased liability to phytotoxicity, and this will be more evident in direct water-seeding of rice. About 20% of farmers depend on the cold underground-water pumped for rice irrigation. If the well is deep over 70m, the fresh water may be about $10^{\circ}C$ cold. The water should be warmed to about $20^{\circ}C$ before irrigation. This is not so practiced well by farmers. In addition to the forementioned adverse conditions there exist many other aspects to be amended. Among them the worst for liquid spray type herbicides is almost total lacking in proper knowledge of nozzle types and concern with even spray by the administrative, rural extension officers, company and farmers. Even not available in the market are the nozzles and sprayers appropriate for herbicides spray. Most people perceive all the pesticide sprayers same and concern much with the speed and easiness of spray, not with correct spray. There exist many points to be improved to minimize herbicidal phytotoxicity in Korea and many ways to achieve the goal. First of all it is suggested that 1) the present evaluation of a new herbicide at standard and double doses in registration trials is to be an evaluation for standard, double and triple doses to exploit the response slope in making decision for approval and recommendation of different dose for different situation on label, 2) the government is to recognize the facts and nature of the present problem to correct the present misperceptions and to develop an appropriate national program for improvement of soil conditions, spray equipment, extention manpower and services, 3) the researchers are to enhance researches on the countermeasures and 4) the herbicide makers/dealers are to correct their misperceptions and policy for sales, to develop database on the detailed use conditions of consumer one by one and to serve the consumers with direct counsel based on the database.

  • 연구배경: 폐암은 근치적 폐절제술이 가장 효과적인 치료법이지만 폐암 환자들은 흔히 고령이면서 흡연으로 인한 폐 기능저하가 동반된 경우가 많고 정상 폐조직을 광범위하게 절제하게 되므로 다른 수술보다 수술후 사망률 및 폐합병증이 더욱 문제시되고 있다. 이에 저자들은 폐기능이 저하된 폐암환자에서 폐절제술후 사망 및 합병증과 관련된 수술전 인자를 일아보고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법: 1995년 10월부터 1997년 8월까지 삼성서울병원에서 폐절제술을 시행받는 환자중에 $FEV_1$ 이 2L 이하이거나 예측치의 60% 이하인 환자를 대상으로 전향적 연구를 시행하였고 수술후 최종진단이 폐암이 아니거나 폐절제가 시행되지 않았던 환자는 최종대상에서 제외하였다. 수술 전에 대상환자의 성별, 연령, 체중 감소의 정도, 동반질환, 폐쇄성 폐렴여부를 조사하였고, 헤마토크릿, 혈청알부민, 심전도, 안정시동맥혈가스, $FEV_1$, DLco를 비롯한 폐활량검사, 운동부하 폐 기능검사를 시행하였으며 폐관류주사를 이용하여 수술후 폐기능예측지표를 산출하였다. 수술시 집도의, 폐절제술범위, 수술시간, 수술후 병기, 수술후 중환자실 체류시간을 기록하였고 사망 및 합병증은 수술후 30 일내의 사망, 폐렴이나 호흡부전 등과 같은 폐합병증, 48시간 이상의 중환자실 입원, 심장계 합병증, 농흉, 출혈, 반회후두신경손상 등 기타 합병증으로 분류하여 수술 후 발생여부를 확인하였다. 결 과: 최종 대상환자는 36명이었고 연령은 44-82세로 중앙값은 65세였으며 $FEV_1$$1.78\pm0.06L$이었다. 수술은 14예가 엽절제술, 8예가 이엽절제술, 14예가 전폐절제술을 시행 받았다. 수술후 사망이 2예에서 있었고 폐합병증이 10예, 48 시간이상의 중환자실 입원이 12예, 심장합병증이 3예, 기타 합병증이 4예에서 각각 발생하였으며 사망과 관련된 수술전 인자로는 혈청 알부민, DLco, 체중감소정도, ppo-DLco, ppo-DLco%, Wmax, 폐절제 정도, ppo-$VO_2$max등 이었고(p<0.05), ppo-$VO_2$max가 10ml/kg/min 이하인 환자 2명은 모두 사망한 반면 10ml/kg/min 이상인 환자에서는 사망이 없었다(p<0.01). 수술 후폐합병증은 체중감소정도, 호흡곤란정도, DLco, ppo-DLco, Wmax, MVV와 밀접한 관련이 있었다(p<0.05). 그러나 다변량분석에 의해 사망과 관련하여 유의한 지표는 없었으며 폐합병증과 관련하여 유의한 지표는 MVV(p<0.05) 였다. 결 론: 폐기능이 저하된 폐암환자의 수술후 사망 및 폐합병증과 관련하여 유용한 예견지표는 체중감소 정도, 호흡곤란 정도, 폐절제범위 등 폐기능검사와 관련되지 않은 지표들이 중요한 예견지표였고 운동부하폐기능검사지표들은 수술후 사망 및 합병증을 예측하는데 유용한 정보를 제공할 것으로 생각되며, 특히 ppo-$VO_2$max가 10ml/kg/min 이하인 환자는 수술후 사망률이 높을 것으로 추정된다.
