볼 밀과 임팩트 밀의 분쇄율에 따른 단체분리(선택적 분쇄)와 공기 분급에 의한 고령토 광물의 성세특성을 조사하였다. 원광석을 볼 밀과 임팩트 밀로 분쇄하여 325 mesh 이하 미립자의 생성율을 유사하게 조절하였으며 미립자에 대한 화학성분을 분석함으로써 선택적 분쇄 특성을 조사하였다. 분쇄된 시료는 공기 분급기를 사용하여 미립자와 굵은 입자로 분리하고 각 산물에 대한 화학조성분석을 통하여 분쇄 방식에 따른 정제효과를 비교하였다. 볼 밀과 임팩트 밀 모두 분쇄율이 높아질수록 미립자의 고령토 품위는 낮아지는 경향을 나타내었다. 특히 볼 밀의 경우에서 석영, 장석과 같은 불순광물의 혼입으로 인해 미립자의 불순물 함량이 높아짐을 알 수 있었다. 볼 밀의 경우 공기 분급기의 분급점을 $43\;{\mu}m$로 하면 정광의 생산율은 66.2 wt%이었으며 철성분 제거율은 5.3%, 칼슘성분 제거율은 34.6%로 나타났다. 반면 임팩트 밀을 사용하여 동일한 조건으로 분쇄 후 분급한 산물의 정광 생산율은 64.4 wt%이며 철성분 제거율은 34.2%, 칼슘성분 제거율은 67.6%, 티탄성분 제거율은 25.0%를 나타내어 임팩트 밀의 경우가 불순물의 제거에 우수한 결과를 보였다.

The impacts of planted transgenic rice varieties on bacterial communities in paddy soils were monitored using both cultivation and molecular methods. The rice field plot consisted of eighteen subplots planted with two genetically modified (GM) rice and four non-GM rice plants in three replicates. Analysis with denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) of PCR-amplified 16S rRNA genes revealed that the bacterial community structures were quite similar to each other in a given month, suggesting that there were no significant differences in bacterial communities between GM and non-GM rice soils. The bacterial community structures appeared to be generally stable with the seasons, as shown by a slight variation of microbial population levels and DGGE banding patterns over the year. Comparison analysis of 16S rDNA clone libraries constructed from soil bacterial DNA showed that there were no significant differences between GM and non-GM soil libraries but revealed seasonal differences of phyla distribution between August and December. The composition profile of phospholipid fatty acids (PLFA) between GM and non-GM soils also was not significantly different to each other. When soil DNAs were analyzed with PCR by using primers for the bar gene, which was introduced into GM rice, positive DNA bands were found in October and December soils. However, no bar gene sequence was detected in PCR analysis with DNAs extracted from both cultured and uncultured soil bacterial fractions. The result of this study suggested that, in spite of seasonal variations of bacterial communities and persistence of the bar gene, the bacterial communities of the experimental rice field were not significantly affected by cultivation of GM rice varieties.

To develop effective and safe acne vulgaris therapies with a continuing demand for new solutions, we investigated unique efficacy of an antibacterial agent from marine brown alga Eisenia bicyclis in treating acne vulgaris. The methanolic extract of E. bicyclis exhibited potential antibacterial activity against acne-related bacteria. The ethyl acetate fraction showed the strongest antibacterial activity against the bacteria among solvent fractions. Six compounds (1-6), previously isolated from the ethyl acetate fraction of E. bicyclis, were evaluated for antibacterial activity against acne-related bacteria. Among them, compound 2 (fucofuroeckol-A [FF]) exhibited the highest antibacterial activity against acne-related bacteria with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) ranging from 32 to $128{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$. Furthermore, FF clearly reversed the high-level erythromycin and lincomycin resistance of Propionibacterium acnes. The MIC values of erythromycin against P. acnes were dramatically reduced from 2,048 to $1.0{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$ in combination with MIC of FF ($64{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$). The fractional inhibitory concentration indices of erythromycin and lincomycin were measured from 0.500 to 0.751 in combination with 32 or $64{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$ of FF against all tested P. acnes strains, suggesting that FF-erythromycin and FF-lincomycin combinations exert a weak synergistic effect against P. acnes. The results of this study suggest that the compounds derived from E. bicyclis can be a potential source of natural antibacterial agents and a pharmaceutical component against acnerelated bacteria.

Characterization of microstructures and mechanical properties of 83mm thickness EH36-TM welds produced by the combined flux cored arc (FCA) and electro gas (EG) welding processes has been studied with the two different groove conditions, single-V (SV) and double-V (DV) bevels. The welding consumables used for FCA and EG welding processes were ASME/AWS A5.29 (E81T1-K2) and A5.26 (EG72T), respectively. Experimental results showed that all the mechanical properties of welds such as tensile property, CVN toughness and Vickers hardness met IACS requirements. The tensile strength of EG welded plates were reduced by approximately 4% (DV: 3.8%, SV: 4.2%) compared to the base metal. The hardness value of SV-beveled weld metal was slightly lower than that of DV-beveled one. There were no significant differences as per welding groove conditions except for the weld metal. In addition, at the fusion line, the toughness of SV condition was 20J lower and the weld metal was 40J lower than DV condition, respectively. On the basis of microstructural analysis, grain boundary ferrite (GBF) structures for SV condition were 2 times higher volume fraction than for DV condition and their packet sizes were coarsened to almost double. It was thus suggested that the GBF volume fractions and packet sizes in the weld metal of EH36-TM steel plates are the most important factors affecting the mechanical properties of the combined FCA and EG welded joint. Nevertheless, all the results of welds with both DV and SV conditions were found to be excellent.

Objectives : Peripheral blood-buffy coat fractions (N=14,956) have been stored at $-70^{\circ}C$ in the headquarter of the Korean Multicenter Cancer Cohort (KMCC), since 1993. To study the future molecular etiology of cancers using specimens of the cohort, properly stored specimens are necessary, Therefore, the DNA-viability of the bully coat samples was investigated. Methods : Buffy coat fraction samples were randomly selected from various collection areas and years (N=100). The DNA viability was evaluate from the UV-absorbent ratios at 260/280nm and the PCH for $\beta$-globin was performed with genomic DNA isolated from the buffy coat. Results : PCR products were obtained from 85 and 98% of the C and H area-samples, respectively, using 50 or $100{\mu}l$ of the buffy coat. There were significant differences in the yields of the PCR-amplifications from the C and H areas (p<0.05), which was due to differences in the homogenization of the buffy coat fractions available as aliquots. The PCR-products were obtained from all of the samples (N=7) stored at the C area-local confer, but the other aliquots stored at the headquarter were not PCR-amplified, Therefore, the PCR products in almost all the samples, even including the DNA-degraded samples, were obtained. In addition, an improvement in the DNA isolation, i,e. approx. 1.6 fold, was found after using extra RBC lysis buffer. Conclusions : PCR products for $\beta$-globin were obtained from nearly all of the samples. The regional differences in the PCR amplifications were thought to have originated from the different sample-preparation and homogenization performance. Therefore, the long term-stored buffy coat species at the KMCC can be used for future molecular studies.

회향은 미나리과에 속하는 다년생식물인 Foeniculum vulgare Mill.의 성숙한 과실로서 항염, 진통, 피부노화방지 등의 효과를 가지고 있어 다양한 질환에 우수한 치료효과를 나타내는 것으로 알려져 왔다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기능성이 우수한 회향 열매 추출물을 이용하여 피부 질환 치료제 및 피부장벽 기능 개선 소재로서의 적용가능성을 확인하였다. 이를 위해 각질형성세포주인 HaCaT에 회향 열매 메탄올 추출물과 그 분획물(hexane, methyl chloride, ethyl acetate, butanol)을 처리한 후, involucrin, loricrin, filaggrin의 발현과 hyaluronic acid의 생성 및 β-defensin -1, -2, -3, LL-37의 mRNA 발현을 측정하였다. 그 결과butanol 분획물 50 μg/ml을 24시간 동안 처리시 involucrin과 filaggrin단백질 발현을 각각122.8%, 105%로 유의하게 증가시킴을 확인하였다. Elisa assay를 통해 분석한 결과, ethyl acetate와 butanol 분획물은 대조군에 비해 hyaluronic acid의 생성을 각각17%, 11% 증가시켰으며, 이는 hyaluronic acid synthesis-1의 mRNA 발현 증가에 의한 것임을 확인하였다. 그러나 회향 열매 메탄올 추출물과 분획물 모두에서 β-defensin -1, -2, -3, LL-37의 mRNA 발현은 증가되지 않았다. 이러한 결과는 회향 열매 butanol 분획물이 각질형성세포에서 물리적 장벽을 형성하고 보습인자 조절을 통해 피부장벽 기능을 강화하는데 효과적임을 의미한다.

유색미의 항암활성을 in vitro에서 조사하기 위한 기초실험으로서, 유색미 겨의 유기용매 추출물에 의한 DNA strand scission 및 발암 promotion의 억제효과를 조사하였다. 실험에는 유색미로 상해향혈나와 수원415호의 두 품종과 함께 대조구로 추청을 사용하였다. 품종별 변이원 억제활성은 70% 에탄올추출물 및 모든 유기용매 분획물에서 추청<상해향혈나<수원415호의 순서로 증가하였다. 그러나 DNA strand scission에 대한 억제활성은 70% 에탄올 추출물에서 상해향혈나<추청<수원415호의 순서로 증가하였다. 클로로포름 분획물에 대하여 조사한 결과, 상해향혈나에는 거의 DNA strand scission을 억제하는 활성이 없었으며, 예상과는 달리 추청은 오히려 상해향혈나보다 약간 활성이 높았다. 그리고 수원415호의 클로로포름분획물은 70%에탄올 추출물의 경우와 비슷한 수준의 강한 억제활성을 보였다(약 50% 억제). 발암 promotor에 의하여 유도된 Epstein-Barr 바이러스의 early diffusible antigen의 발현수준을 지표로 하여 70% 에탄올 추출물의 발암 promotion의 억제효과를 측정한 결과, 추청<상해향혈나< 수원415호의 순서로 억제활성이 높아짐을 알 수 있었다. 세 품종 모두의 클로로포름분획물에서 발암 promotion을 완전히 차단하는 효과가 발견되었지만, 세포독성이 동반되지 않은 promotion에 대한 억제효과는 수원415호에서만 유일하게 관찰되었다.

To explore the sources of carbonaceous material in the airborne particulate matter (PM), comprehensive PM sampling was performed (3 to 14 January 2010) at a traffic hot spot site (HS), Farm Gate, Dhaka using several samplers: AirMetrics MiniVol (for $PM_{10}$ and $PM_{2.5}$) and MOUDI (for size fractionated submicron PM). Long-term PM data (April 2000 to March 2006 and April 2000 to March 2010 in two size fractions ($PM_{2.2}$ and $PM_{2.2-10}$) obtained from two air quality-monitoring stations, one at Farm Gate (HS) and another at a semi-residential (SR) area (Atomic Energy Centre, Dhaka Campus, (AECD)), respectively were also analyzed. The long-term PM trend shows that fine particulate matter concentrations have decreased over time as a result of government policy interventions even with increasing vehicles on the road. The ratio of $PM_{2.5}/PM_{10}$ showed that the average $PM_{2.5}$ mass was about 78% of the $PM_{10}$ mass. It was also found that about 63% of $PM_{2.5}$ mass is $PM_1$. The total contribution of BC to $PM_{2.5}$ is about 16% and showed a decreasing trend over the years. It was observed that $PM_1$ fractions contained the major amount of carbonaceous materials, which mainly originated from high temperature combustion process in the $PM_{2.5}$. From the IMPROVE TOR protocol carbon fraction analysis, it was observed that emissions from gasoline vehicles contributed to $PM_1$ given the high abundance of EC1 and OC2 and the contribution of diesel to $PM_1$ is minimal as indicated by the low abundance of OC1 and EC2. Source apportionment results also show that vehicular exhaust is the largest contributors to PM in Dhaka. There is also transported $PM_{2.2}$from regional sources. With the increasing economic activities and recent GDP growth, the number of vehicles and brick kilns has significantly increased in and around Dhaka. Further action will be required to further reduce PM-related air pollution in Dhaka.
