Background: Several studies have reported that wild mushrooms contain high amounts of radioactive cesium (137Cs). After the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant Accident, a significantly high concentration of 137Cs has been detected in wild mushrooms, and their consumption may be the cause of the chronic internal exposure of local consumers to radioactivity. Therefore, an accurate evaluation of the internal radioactivity resulting from mushroom ingestion is needed. Materials and Methods: The 137Cs elution rate through the cooking and digestion stages was evaluated using in vitro experiments. The edible mushroom Pleurotus djamor was taken as a sample for the experiments. The mushrooms were cultivated onto solid media containing 137Cs. We evaluated the internal dose based on the actual conditions using the elution rate data. For various cooking methods, the results were compared with those of other wild edible mushrooms. Results and Discussion: From the elution experiment through cooking, we proved that 25%-55% of the 137Cs in the mushrooms was released during soaking, boiling, or frying. The results of a simulated digestion experiment after cooking revealed that almost all the 137Cs in the ingested mushrooms eluted in the digestive juice, regardless of the cooking method. The committed effective dose was reduced by 20%-75% when considering the dissolution through the cooking process. Conclusion: We found that cooking lowers 137Cs concentration in mushrooms, therefore reducing the amount of radioactivity intake. Besides, since there were differences between mushroom types, we demonstrated that the internal exposure dose should be evaluated in detail considering the release of 137Cs during the cooking stages.

To understand the gaseous behaviour of volatile organic compounds in the unsaturated zone, their volatilization coefficient k$_{Lg}$ is evaluated. An experiment is conducted to examine the dependence of k$_{Lg}$ on the concentration of the dissolution, presence of unsaturated zone and depth of the unsaturated zone. The results show that the volatilization coefficient is not dependent on the concentration under the constant temperature and pressure. It is also find that k$_{Lg}$ depends on the presence of the unsaturated zone rather than its depth.depth.

국내 육상 이산화탄소 지중저장 후보지 중 하나로 거론되고 있는 경상분지 사암에 대하여 초임계$CO_2$ 주입에 의한 사암의 용해반응을 규명하는 실내 실험을 실시하였다. 초임계$CO_2$로 존재하는 지중저장 온도/압력조건(100 bar와 $50^{\circ}C$)을 재현한 스테인레스 셀(용량 110 ml) 내부에 지하수를 주입한 후, 공극률이 다른 3 종류의 경상분지 사암 시료에 대하여 슬랩으로 제작하여 표면을 폴리싱한 후 고압셀 하부에 고정시켜 지하수에 잠기게 하였으며, 초임계$CO_2$를 주입한 후 60 일 동안 지하수 용존 이온 농도 변화, 질량 변화, 광물의 평균 표면 거칠기 변화를 측정하였다. 사암의 물성 변화 실험에서는 채취한 3 종류의 경상분지 사암들을 원통형 코어 형태로 가공하여 대형 고온고압탱크(2 liter 용량)에 고정시켜 30 일 동안 반응 시킨 후 공극률, 건조밀도, 탄성파 속도, 일축압축강도 등을 측정하여 용해반응에 의한 사암의 물성변화를 규명하였다. 반응 시간에 따른 사암 코어의 무게를 측정하여 질량 변화에 따른 1차 용해반응 상수값($k_d$)을 계산하였으며, 이 용해상수를 이용하여 단위면적($cm^2$) 당 1 g의 사암시료가 완전히 용해되는데 걸리는 용해시간을 계산하였다. 사암 슬랩을 이용한 지중저장 조건에서 초임계$CO_2$-사암-지하수 반응 실험 결과 $Ca^{2+}$, $Na^+$의 용해반응이 활발하게 일어나는 것으로 나타나, 이들 함량이 높은 사장석, 방해석 등을 중심으로 사암의 용해반응이 일어남을 알 수 있었으며, 반응 30 일 후 초기 A사암 슬랩 무게의 0.66%가 반응에 의해 용해되었다. 경상분지 사암의 물성 변화 실험 결과, $CO_2$ 반응 30 일 동안 B사암과 C사암의 공극률은 초기 공극률 기준 16.2%와 7.4% 증가하는 반면, 건조밀도, 탄성파 속도 그리고 일축압축강도는 감소하는 경향을 보였으며, 이 결과는 초임계$CO_2$와 반응하여 암석의 용해반응에 의한 물성변화가 짧은 시간 동안 활발히 일어나고 있음을 의미한다. 계산된 용해반응상수값($k_d$)으로부터 B사암과 C사암의 경우 사암에 주입된 $CO_2$에 의하여 단위면적($cm^2$)당 1 g이 용해되는데 각각 평균 1,532 년과 329 년이 걸리는 것으로 나타나, $CO_2$ 지중저장 시 사암의 용해반응이 짧은 시간동안 활발히 일어날 수 있음을 입증하였다.

Xerostomia is caused by organic or functional changes affecting the salivary system at different levels. Patients suffering from xerostomia may also complain of an oral burning sensation, ulceration or soreness, difficulty in swallowing, and poor denture retention. And pilocarpine is administered orally to induce salivary secretion. In Seoul National University Hospital(SNUH) pharmacy, the pilocarpine chewing tablets are prepared and supplied to patients of xerostomia in request of the dental hospital in SNUH. And we tested the salivary flow induction and the dissolution patterns of these products in saliva by a double-blind, sequential cross-over trials to eight healthy human volunteers with placebo. The pilocarpine chewing tablet contained 5 mg of pilocarpine, and placebo consisted of same materials as test drug, but didn't contain pilocarpine. In vivo experiment, all subjects were instructed to chew as 60-80 times/min. Mixed saliva was collected in the ranges of intervals such as 0-2, 2-5, 5-10, 10-15, 15-20, 20-30, 30-45 and 45-60 min after pilocarpine chewing tablet or placebo administration. Saliva volume was measured in each collecting time interval, and saliva pilocarpine concentrations were determined by reversed phase HPLC. The 82.5 percent $(4.13{\pm}0.69\;mg)$ of pilocarpine was extracted from chewing tablets during mastication of 60-80 times per minute for 60 minutes. Among these dissolved amounts, 90 percent was extracted within 20 minutes. The salivary flow rates were more increased in a group who administered pilocarpine chewing tablet at the interval of 5-10, 10-15, 20-30 and 45-60 min rather than a placebo-group, but only extracted amount of pilocarpine at 45-60 min interval is significanly different between two groups (p<0.05). But total amounts of saliva secreted for 1 hour in two group-pilocarpine and placebo treated- were $46.36{\pm}9.72\;ml\;and\;39.09{\pm}7.81\;ml$, respectively, and were not significantly different between two groups.

It is sometimes said lately that the pH of the human gastric juice is significantly different among individuals. Thus, the dissolution behavior of coated solid dosage forms should preferably be independent of the pH of the test solution. With these points as a background, the effect of pH on the dissolution velocity of coated tablets was studied to compare that of Pharmacoat with other gastric soluble film coating materials. Three viscosity types of Pharmacoat have been available(3, 6 and 15cP) until now. the 6cP type has been considered to be the most suitable for a tablet coating amongst the three types. The 3 cP type with a low degree of polymerization, is capable of providing high concentration, but the film strength is so inferior that sometimes cracking of the film may occur. On the other hand, in the case of the 15cP type, high polymer concentration cannot be achieved because of the high dgree of polymerization, and thus it is uneconomical for coating. Now, there is a strong demand to reduce the coating time even when HPMC is used in the 6cP type in order to reduce the coating cost. In order to improve this problem, we have concentrated our attention on reducing the viscosity value of HPMC to an allowable lower limit from 6cP. As a result of this study, it was found that the reduction of the viscosity value to around 4.5cP enabled the use of a higher solution concentration and an incidental shorter coating time without giving any substantial adverse effects on the properties of coated preparations. These experiment results are presented in the later part of this presentation. Based on this study, we have added the viscosity type of 4.5cP as one of the Pharmacoat products as Pharmacoat-645.

본 연구에서는 고체 연료첨가제 제조기준 설정을 위해 연료에 첨가제 주입 시 발생될 수 있는 악영향을 고려하여 용해도, 용해속도 및 회분에 대한 실험을 실시하였다. 그 결과 용해도는 대상연료에 첨가제를 주입하기 전의 무게에 비하여 첨가제 주입 후 여과되는 무게가 증가하였으며, 여과필터의 Pore size가 증가함에 따라 여과되는 첨가제의 무게는 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 용해속도 실험결과 상온에서 휘발유 1L에 1g의 첨가제를 용해시켰을 때, 2시간 이내에 모두 녹아 가장 빠른 용해속도를 보였고, 영하 $20^{\circ}C$의 경유에서는 72시간이 지나도록 변화가 거의 없었다. 회분 실험에서는 첨가제를 녹인 휘발유가 첨가제를 녹이지 않은 휘발유에 비해 28배 많은 양의 회분이 발생하였으며, 이로 인해 대부분의 회분은 첨가제로부터 생성된다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

This study explored secondary effects of the residual hydrofluoric acid (HF) after a hypothetical acid spill accident by investigating the long-term dissolution of minerals and leaching of pre-existing arsenic (As) from two soil samples (i.e., KBS and KBM) through batch and column experiments. An increase in the HF concentration in both soil samples resulted in a dramatic increase in the release of major cations, especially Si. However, the amounts of mineral dissolved were dependent on the soil type and mineral characteristics. Compared to the KBM soil, relatively more Ca, Mg and Si were dissolved from the KBS soil. The column experiment showed that the long-term dissolution rates of the minerals are closely associated with the acid buffering capacity of the two soils. The KBM soil had relatively higher effluent pH values compared to the KBS soil. Also, more As was leached from the KBM soil, with a more amorphous hydrous oxide-bound As fraction. These results suggest that the potential of heavy metal leaching by the residual acid after an acid spill will be influenced by heavy metal speciation and mineral structure in the affected soil.

The experiment of hot dip interaction tests was carried out in order to study the formation behavior of interfacial reaction layer between as-received STD61 hot work tool steel and a commercial pure aluminum melt, Al-xwt.%Fe(x=0.2, 0.5, 0.8 and 1.1) alloys melt and Al-xwt.%Si(x=1.0, 4.0, 7.0 and 10.0) alloys melt, respectively. The results show that the reaction layer, over 300 ${\mu}m$ in thickness, is easily formed by the dissolution of silicon from as-received tool steel. When the iron content in the aluminum alloy is higher than 1.1 wt.%, the thickness of reaction layer decreases below 180 ${\mu}m$ by preventing iron dissolution from the tool steel. The silicon dissolved from tool steel acts as a strong promoter on the formation of reaction layer, but the alloyed silicon in molten aluminum alloys acts as an inhibitor on the formation of reaction layer.
