To investigate the neurotoxic effect of organic chloride on cultured mouse cerebral neurons, cytotoxic effect was measured by MTT assay after cultured cerebral neurons were incubated with various concentrations of methyl mercuric chloride(MMC) for 24 hours. The protective effect of Radix Polygoni Multiflori(RPM) on MMC-induced neurotoxicity was also examined in these cultures. MMC decreased cell viability of cultured mouse cerebral neurons remarkably in a dose- and time-dependent manners. In protective effect of RPM it was remarkably effective in blocking the neuroxicity induced by MMC. From aboved the results, it is suggested that MMC induce neurotoxicity, and the herba extract, RPM is very effective in preventing MMC-induced cytotoxicity on cultured mouse cerebral neurons.

Techflex$^{(R)}$, a polypropylene-lined, multilayer infusion bag, was studied for its compatibility with diazepam, in comparison to the conventional infusion bag, Safeflex$^{(R)}$, which is comprised of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC). Diazepam was diluted in 0.9% sodium chloride isotonic solution and stored in the infusion bags for 24 h. To evaluate the sorption of diazepam into the infusion bags during storage, the concentration of the drug remaining in the bag was measured using gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy. The PVC bags exhibited a marked sorption of diazepam, with a drug loss reaching up to 90% of the initial concentration after 24 h of contact, whereas Techflex$^{(R)}$ inhibited the drug sorption, showing approximately 10%, under the same conditions. The differences in the sorption behaviors of the bags are discussed in terms of solubility parameters and crystallinities of the polymers.

거대고리화합물의 유도체들은 촉매로 사용하여 유리질 탄소전극과 탄소 미소전극에서 SOCl$_2$의 전기화학적 환원반응을 조사하였다. 이들 유도체들은 먼저 전극표면에 흡착된 후 SOCl$_2$를 환원시켰다. 전해질 용액에 전극이 담기는 시간과 촉매들의 농도의 변화는 SOCl$_2$의 환원에 크게 영향을 미쳤다. 유리질 탄소 전극에서 촉매효과에 의한 속도상수는 10배 증가하였고, Power 밀도는 최고 220% 까지 증가하였다. 탄소 미소전극을 사용하여 시간전류법에 의해 얻은 확산계수는 유리질 탄소전극을 사용하여 순환전압전류법에 의해 얻은 결과와 다소 다른 값으로 나타났다.

부영양화된 연못에서 규산질다공체(CelICaSi)와 미생물응집제를 이용한 녹조제어의 효과를 조사하였다. 녹조 발생 남조류인 Microcystis aeruginosa에 대한 응집능이 우수한 S-2 균주가 생산한 미생물응집제를 선정하여 현장의 조류응집에 적용하였다. 초기의 인산염농도는 대조구에서 $131\mu{g}\ell^{-1}$를 기록하였음에 비해서, CelICaSi가 첨가된 3개의 처리구에서는 $1-14\mu{g}\ell^{-1}$를 기록하며 크게 감소하였다. 엽록소$-\alpha$ 농도는 현장에 설치한 en-closure에서 초기에 $215\mu{g}\ell^{-1}$ 이었으나 CellCaSi $(1g\ell^{-1}$, 미생물응집제 $(2ml\ell^{-1})$, 보조응집제 $(1g\ell^{-1})$, 염화제이철 $(2mg\;Fe\ell^{-1})$을 함께 처리한 처리구에서 $59\mu{g}\ell^{-1}$로 가장 많이 감소하였다. 실험용 쥐 및 금붕어를 이용한 독성실험에서 녹조제거에 이용되는 성분들과 미생물응집제에 대한 독성은 없는 것으로 조사되었다. 따라서, CellCaSi와 미생물응집제는 인 제거 및 엽록소-$\alpha$ 농도 감소에 의한 녹조제거에 효과적인 것으로 판단되었다.

Using a conventional two-compartment cell with stirrers the separation of an aqueous solution of HCl-$NiCl_2$ by an anion-exchange membrane Neosepta-AFN was investigated. The dialysis process was characterized by the permeability coefficient of the membrane towards to $Cl^-$ ions. This quantity was determined by the numerical integration of equations, which describe the time dependence of the total concentration of $Cl^-$ ions in compartment initially filled with stripping agent (water), combined with an optimizing procedure. The analysis of the experimental results showed that this permeability coefficient is a satisfactory characteristic for the process studied. It can be graphically correlated with the initial acid and initial salt concentrations in the compartment initially filled with acid+salt mixture.

As one of the starting materials, methylthioacetyl chloride(7) was synthesized in fair yield from mercaptoacetic acid via methyl methylthioacetate(5) prepared by alkylation employing N, N'-dicyclohexyl-O-methylisourea(4). Then 1-$\beta$-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine-5'-methylthioacetate (3) was prepared by esterification of ara-C with obtained methylthioacetyl chloride and tested for inhibitory activity on DNA synthesis in the growing primary hepatocytes and hepatoma strains($H_4$-II-E and HTC cells). In these in vitro cell lines, the inhibitory effect of ara-C-MTA(3) on DNA synthesis was similar to that of its parent ara-C but slightly lower.

Corrosion of reinforced concrete structures in marine environment is one of the most important mechanisms of deterioration. Under Korean highway bridge, the time for the steel reinforcement in the concrete to exhibit initial signs of corrosion is within three decades. Therefore, 'SUM JIN' highway bridge, located in a corrosive marine environment on the south of Korea, had been examined the current condition of the steel reinforcement corrosion in concrete by half-cell potentials, chloride contamination of concrete and so on. According to the tests, the protecting film around the reinforcement is deteriorated and corrosion activity developed in tidal zone. The purpose of this paper is to report the effects of 'SUM JIN' highway bridge damaged by chlodide attack and to present the results of repair of 'SUM JIN' highway concrete bridge in domestic marine environment.

The present study was performed to explore the antioxidant effect of selenium on damaged brain induced by organic mercury. Male ICR mice were given consecutively 7 injections for 7 days of : (I) sodium selenite 1 mg/kg s.c. alone, (2) methylmercuric chloride 10mg/kg s.c. alone, (3) methylmercuric chloride simultaneously in combination with sodium selenite, and (4) saline alone as control respectively. Based on the above protocol, we monitored various oxyradical scavenging system as well as the finding of electron microscopy. The results from brain tissues were as follows` 1. Selenium inhibited the rate of generation of superoxide radical.

The effects of inorganic mercury on hematological parameters and hepatic oxidative stress enzyme activity were studied in olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus. Fish were injected twice intraperitoneally with mercuric chloride (2, 4, or 8 mg Hg/kg BW). The major hematological findings were significant decreases in the red blood cell count, hematocrit value, and hemoglobin level in olive flounder exposed to 8 mg Hg/kg BW. Remarkably low levels of calcium and chloride, and reduced osmolality, were also observed at 8 mg Hg/kg BW. In hepatic tissue, significant increases in glutathione peroxidase and catalase activity were observed above 4 mg Hg/kg BW Inorganic mercury also increased glutathione S-transferase and glutathione reductase activity at 8 mg Hg/kg BW in hepatic tissue. The present findings suggest that exposure to a low concentration (${\geq}4$ mg Hg/kg BW) of inorganic mercury can cause significant changes in hematological and antioxidant parameters.

Manganese is a naturally occurring element which is widespread in the environment. Also, manganese is an essential trace element and plays a key role in important biological reactions catalyzed by enzymes. However, exposure to high levels of manganese can cause toxicity in neurone and inhalation system, also damage in various tissues. We investigated the toxicity induced by manganese compound ($MnCl_2$) in cultured rat cardiomyocytes. Treatment of manganese to cultured cardiomyocyte led to cell death, reactive oxygen species (ROS) increase, and cytosolic caspase-3 activation. The ROS increase was related with the decreased level of glutathione. Expressions of ROS related genes such as heme oxygenase-1, thioredoxin reductase, and NADH quinone oxidase were significantly induced in manganese treated cells. These results suggest that manganese induce oxidative stress and apoptosis in cardiomyocytes, and may be the one of risk factors to cause heart dysfunction in vivo.
