  • When accidents that relate to a large numbers of people occur, such as disasters involving group tours by ship or aircraft, or large-scale chemical leakages, it is very important to know the personal identification of victims and to determine their locations and status. It is true that there will be serious damage or injury to people who engaged especially when information does not transfer properly or people get inaccurate one. In this study, therefore, we analysed the disaster response management system for rescued people of the Sewo ferry sinking accident. Based on the analysis we proposed to improve the real-time disaster management system with ICT(Information & Communication Technology).

  • The Hovenia extracts showed a significant hepato-protective activity against alcohol and CC4-induced hepatotoxicity. Injection of CC4 and alcohol induced liver injury and increased serum GOT (glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase) and GPT (glutamic pyuvic transaminase) levels in injured rats. The ADH (alcohol dehydrogenase)-like and ALDH (aldehyde dehydrogenase)-like activities in the Hovenia extracts were studied. Their activities in the extracts of Hovenia wood were higher than the extracts of other parts of Hovenia. And then Hovenia wood extracts have high effects on the alcohol and acetealdehyde degradation. The Hovenia extracts were decreased concentration of fusel oil. The ADH-like and ALDH-like activities in the Hovenia wood extract were 1.14 $unit/{\mu}l$, 0.33$unit/{\mu}l$ respectively.

  • Oral mucosal burns can occur after contact with various chemical agents, and commonly manifest as areas of mucosal sloughing and ulceration. Policresulen (Albothyl, Celltrion Pharm Inc.) is an over-the-counter topical antiseptic that is frequently used to treat stomatitis. Policresulen solution is highly acidic, with an approximate pH of 0.6; it can thus cause mucosal injury when improperly applied in the oral cavity. Here, we present a rare case of an oral mucosal burn resulting from incorrect self-administration of policresulen and emphasize the importance of increasing understanding of this adverse drug event among consumers and health professionals.

  • $SO_2$에 대한 양버즘나무의 내성을 증대시키고자 uniconazole, sodium benzoate 또는 ascorbic acid를 단용 또는 복합처리한 후 $SO_2$에 의한 가시피해정도, 엽록소함량 및 유리기 제거제로 활성산소의 독성을 중화시킬 수 있는 superoxide dismutase(SOD) 및 peroxidase(POD)의 활성변화를 조사하였다. Uniconazole처리에 의한 $SO_2$ 피해경감 효과는 SOD불활성제인 diethyldithiocarbamate(DDTC)를 다시 처리하므로써 가시피해가 증가하였고 SOD와 POD의 활성도 감소하였다. 유리기 제거제인 sodium benzoate와 ascorbic acid처리는 SOD나 POD 활성에 영향을 주지않으면서 $SO_2$의 피해를 경감시키고, DDTC의 $SO_2$피해증가 효과를 ascorbic acid 처리로 감소시킬 수 있었다. 이상의 결과로 미루어 uniconazole은 식물체내에서 산화방지물질의 역할을 하는 SOD의 활성을 증대시켜 $SO_2$가스의 피해를 경감시키는 효과가 인정되며, ascorbic acid와 sodium benzoate의 내성 증대 효과는 식물체내의 SOD나 POD 활성 증진과는 관계가 없는 것으로 판단된다.

  • Background: Although previous in vivo studies explored urinary microRNA (miRNA), there is no agreement on nephrotoxicity-specific miRNA biomarkers. Objectives: In this study, we assessed whether urinary miRNAs could be employed as biomarkers for nephrotoxicity. Methods: For this, literature-based candidate miRNAs were identified by reviewing the previous studies. Female Sprague-Dawley rats received subcutaneous injections of a single dose or repeated doses (3 consecutive days) of gentamicin (GEN; 137 or 412 mg/kg). The expression of miRNAs was analyzed by real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction in 16 h pooled urine from GEN-treated rats. Results: GEN-induced acute kidney injury was confirmed by the presence of tubular necrosis. We identified let-7g-5p, miR-21-3p, 26b-3p, 192-5p, and 378a-3p significantly upregulated in the urine of GEN-treated rats with the appearance of the necrosis in proximal tubules. Specifically, miR-26-3p, 192-5p, and 378a-3p with highly expressed levels in urine of rats with GEN-induced acute tubular injury were considered to have sensitivities comparable to clinical biomarkers, such as blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, and urinary kidney injury molecule protein. Conclusions: These results indicated the potential involvement of urinary miRNAs in chemical-induced nephrotoxicity, suggesting that certain miRNAs could serve as biomarkers for acute nephrotoxicity.

  • 회분식 축합반응에 의하여 폴리에스터 수지를 제조하는 중 소규모 화학 공장에 대하여 공정안전관리제도 (PSM)의 시행에 활용되는 위험성평가 방법들 중의 하나인 K-PSR 기법을 이용하여 위험성 평가 및 분석을 진행하였다. K-PSR 기법은 중 소규모 화학공장에 대한 위험성 재평가 시에 나타나는 인프라 부족에 의한 어려운 점을 보완하기 위하여 KOSHA에서 개발한 위험성 평가 기법이다. K-PSR 기법을 적용하기 위하여 선택된 화학 공장의 전체 공정을 축합반응공정과 희석/여과 공정의 2 개의 검토구간을 설정하고, 이에 대한 4가지 가이드워드(누출, 화재 폭발, 공정 트러블, 및 상해)를 기초로 하여 공정상의 잠재위험을 찾아내어 분류하였다. 연구의 결과로서, 위험도 등급을 고려한 안전조치로는 첫째, 누출 및 화재 폭발의 잠재 위험성을 예방하기 위한 구체적인 조치로서는 노후설비에 대한 비파괴 검사 및 전기설비의 LOTO 절차서의 마련이 반드시 필요한 것으로 확인되었다. 둘째, 열매체 공급 배관에는 압력계 및 온도계를 설치하여 공정 트러블을 최소화하고, 마지막으로 국소배기장치를 설치하여 잠재적인 상해를 예방해야 함을 알 수 있었다.

  • Purpose: Due to rapid changes in the industrial structure in last decade, the wider various types of chemical agents were introduced. Burn surgeons should be well-informed with rapid changes of chemical burns. We present the recent incidence trends of causing agents of chemical burns. Methods: From 2010 to 2019, 92 chemical burn victims were included in this study. A retrospective study was made about the type, distribution and incidence of the causing agents of chemical burns. Initial treatments of most chemical burn wounds are copious saline irrigation by tap water, except hydrofluoric acid burn cases managed by 10% calcium gluconate injection. In alkali chemical burns on extremity, if thin eschars appear in postburn 2~3 days, acute early surgical escharectomy and split thickness skin graft were done. Results: More than 9 types of major chemicals causing chemical burns were surveyed, and the most common causing agent of chemical burns was Hydrofluoric acid (23.9%) followed by Acetic acid (19.6%) and Sodium hydroxide (8.7%). Conclusion: From 2010 to 2019, changes in the causing agent of chemical burns are that the types of major causing agents of chemical burns have increased and the distribution and incidence of causing agents have changed compared to previous reports. According to this study, more than 9 types of major chemicals causing chemical burns were surveyed, and the most common causing agent of chemical burns was Hydrofluoric acid (23.9%) followed by Acetic acid, Sodium hydroxide.

  • Many organic and nonorganic agents can cause chemical pneumonitis. Chemical pneumonitis induced by inhalation of acetic acid is a rare clinical condition. As acetic acid is a water soluble agent, it causes chemical irritation to respiratory tract and causes variable symptoms. We experienced a case of acute lung injury due to inhalation of acetic acid fume. A 56-year-old male patient was admitted due to dyspnea with vomiting for one day. After he inhaled acetic acid fume in occupational situation, he had chest tightness, chilling sense, and productive cough. Our case was good response to oxygen inhalation, antibiotics, and systemic steroids.

  • Thiophene을 포함한 isoxazoline 구조를 가진 화합물 중에서 제초활성이 매우 좋을 것으로 예상된 5-benzyloxymethyl-3-(thiophen-5-yl)-1,2-isoxazoline 유도체들을 합성하였고 이들의 제초활성을 논조건에서 시험하였다. 대부분의 화합물의 제초활성은 매우 강하였으며 이앙벼에는 약해가 거의 나타나지 않았다. 각종 잡초에 대한 제초활성이 우수할 뿐 아니라, 낮은 농도에서 높은 제초활성을 보여 신규제초제 후보물질로서의 가능성을 보였다.

  • 도라지 재배지의 토양 화학성과 미생물상을 진주 6, 김해 7, 고성 3, 함안 6, 거창 4개소, 강원도 홍천 6개소 등 32개소를 대상으로 97년부터 98년까지 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 발병율은 함안, 홍천지역이 각각 56.8, 52.5%로 높게 나타났고 고성, 진주지역이 30.0, 32.2%로 낮게 나타났다. 정상근과 장해근 표토의 K, EC 및 $NH_4-N$ 함량은 장해토양이 정상토양 보다 높고 Mn함량은 낮게 나타나 유의성이 인정되었다. 뿌리의 CaO함량과 수량과는 $Y=20505X-367.9(R^2=0.129^{\ast})$의 정의상관이 있었고 정상근은 장해근에 비해 Fe, Zn 함량이 높은 반면 T-N, $P_2O_5$, $K_2O$ 함량은 낮은 경향을 나타내어 과다양분 흡수에 의한 도라지 근의 병발생 조건이 증가된 것으로 판단되었다. 정상재배지의 토양 세균, 방선균 및 세균/사상군 수치는 장해지보다 높은 반면 사상균의 밀도는 낮았다.
