$5{\alpha}$-Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is the primary active metabolite of testosterone, catalyzed by $5{\alpha}$-reductase ($5{\alpha}R$) in the skin, prostate, and liver. In this study, the $5{\alpha}R$ activity in rat liver S9 fraction in the presence of a NADPH-generating system was evaluated and compared by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)-based in vitro assays. Testosterone and a $5{\alpha}R$ inhibitor, finasteride, were added to the S9 fractions and incubated at $37^{\circ}C$ for 1 h. Both testosterone and DHT were quantitatively measured and compared with two different GC-MS-based steroid profiling techniques. DHT was not detected by conventional GC-MS analysis in the absence of finasteride when the concentration of testosterone in the S9 fraction was less than $0.2{\mu}M$, whereas the isotope-dilution GC-MS (GC-IDMS) system was able to evaluate the $5{\alpha}R$ activity. Because the S9 fraction contains more reactive enzymes and is easier to collect from tissues compared with a microsomal solution, the combination of the S9 fraction and GC-IDMS technique may be a promising assay for evaluating the $5{\alpha}R$ activity in large-scale clinical studies.

The comparison of the volatile flavor components from Korean and Japanese Satsuma mandarin (C. unshiu Marcov. forma Miyagawa-wase) peel oils, isolated by cold-pressing, was performed by gas chromatography, mass-spectrometry and gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O). Eighty-five volatile components were identified in each oil by GC and GC-MS. Forty-three components were detected in each oil by GC-O. The total amount of monoterpene hydrocarbons was 95.88% (Korean mandarin) and 95.29% (Japanese mandarin). Limonene, ${\gamma}$-terpinene, myrcene and $\alpha$-pinene were the main components of the cold-pressed oils from the both samples. The volatile composition of the Japanese mandarin was characterized by a higher content of sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, especially bicyclogermacrene, $\alpha$-humullene and valencene. The volatile composition of two samples can easily be distinguished by the percentages of aldehydes, ketones and esters, which were found at higher levels in the Japanese mandarin. The sweet and fruity flavor was stronger in the Korean mandarin oil while herbaceous flavor was stronger in Japanese sample. From GC-O data it is suggested that the sweet and fruity flavor of the Korean mandarin resulted from terpinolene and linalool, and the herbaceous note of the Japanese mandarin from $\alpha$-humullene, nepal, ι-carvone and perill aldehyde.

The analysis method for qualitative analysis of the screening method that can be performed prior to the quantitative analysis of individual pesticide was reviewed in order to meet the safety standards that are being strengthened in the field of pesticide residue testing of herbal medicines. Among the residual pesticides presented in the Korean Pharmacopoeia, 56 pesticides, excluding 15 pesticides that need to be individually analyzed, were selected for analysis using QuEChERS preprocessing and GC-MS/MS, which are used in the existing agricultural products field. For each pesticide, the detection limit level of 0.001-0.005 mg/kg and the quantitative limit level of 0.002-0.017 mg/kg were confirmed. In the recovery test in which the standard was treated at a concentration of 0.02 mg/kg, it was confirmed that the proportion of pesticides satisfying the recovery of 70-120% was 85.7-96.4% for each herbal medicine, so it was confirmed that it was a level that could be reviewed by the screening method.

To develop a simple, rapid and simultaneous analytical method of phenolic compounds using gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography/mass spectrophometer (GC/Ms), this experiment was carried out to search the retention times of capillary columns and the characteristics of fragment ions in electron impact mass spectra. Most of trimethylsilyl derivatives and underivatized phenolic compounds were separated very well on three kinds of capillary columns(HP-1), Ultra-2 and HP-35). Quantitiative determination of phenolic compounds was achieved by internal standards (p-hydroxybenzoic acid iopropyl ester, p-hydroxybenzoic acid ethyl ester). Calibration plts were linear in the investigated range, and the limits of detection were about 5 ng at split mode method. When analyzed by three columns, theseparation times were fairly constant on two nonpolar columns, but a few compounds showed slightly different separation order by the itnermediate polar HP-35 column. The important characteristic patterns of TMS derivatives of phenolic compounds on the EI/MS spectrra appeared at the base peak of [M-15]+ ion and presented at high abundance in most TMS derivatives of phenoloc compounds. [M]+, [M-CH3-COO]+, [M-Si(CH3)4]+ and [M-Si(CH3)4 -CH3]+ also observed in mass spectra of these compounds . Although several compounds have the same retention times on GC column, it might be possible to identify these compounds by the different patternsof mass frgement ions. The TMS derivatives, thus , provide additional information for identification of phenolic compounds in biological systems.

In order to measure the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of a sample which is too large to use commercially available chamber, a stainless steel vacuum chamber (VC) (with an internal diameter of 205 mm and a height of 50 mm) was manufactured and the temperature of the chamber was controlled using an oven. After concentrating the volatiles of the sample in the chamber by helium gas, it was made possible to remove residual volatile substances present in the chamber under reduced pressure ((2 ± 1) × 10-2 mmHg). The chamber was connected to a purge & trap (P&T) using a 6 port valve to concentrate the VOCs, which were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) after thermal desorption (VC-P&T-GC-MS). Using toluene, the toluene recovery rate of this device was 85 ± 2 %, reproducibility was 5 ± 2 %, and the detection limit was 0.01 ng L-1. The method of removing VOCs remaining in the chamber with helium and the method of removing those with reduced pressure was compared using Korean drinking water regulation (KDWR) VOC Mix A (5 μL of 100 ㎍ mL-1) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT, 2 μL of 500 ㎍ mL-1). In case of using helium, which requires a large amount of gas and time, reduced pressure ((2 ± 1) × 10-2 mmHg) only during the GC-MS running time, could remove VOCs and BHT to less than 0.1 % of the original injection concentration. As a result of analyzing volatile substances using VC-P&T-GC-MS of six types of cell phone case, BHT was detected in four types and quantitatively analyzed. Maintaining the chamber at reduced pressure during the GC-MS analysis time eliminated memory effect and did not affect the next sample analysis. The volatile substances in a cell phone case were also analyzed by dynamic headspace (HT3) and GC-MS, and the results of the analysis were compared with those of VC-P&T-GC-MS. Considering the chamber volume and sample weight, the VC-P&T configuration was able to collect volatile substances more efficiently than the HT3. The VC-P&T-GC-MS system is believed to be useful for VOCs measurement of inhomogeneous large sample or devices used inside clean rooms.

본 연구에서는 trimethylsilyl (TMS) 및 trifluoroacetyl (TFA)유도체화를 이용하여 소변여지에서 대사이상 질환을 신속하게 스크리닝하는 GC/MS 분석법을 개발하였다. 유기산과 아미노산을 동시에 유도체화하기 위해 메틸오렌지를 지시약으로 하여 $60^{\circ}C-70^{\circ}C$에서 15-20 분간 카르복실기는 TMS로 아미노기는 TFA로 유도체한 후 GC/MS-SIM으로 분석하였다. 유기산과 아미노산의 직선성의 범위는 0.001-50 mg이었고, 소변에서의 검출한계는 10-200 ng, 정량한계는 80-900 ng 이었다. 직선성을 보이는 범위에서의 상관계수(R2)는 0.994-0.998이었고, 회수율은 methylcitric acid와 glycine을 제외하고 80-100%를 보였다. 이 방법은 기존의 유기산분석에는 GC/MS를 아미노산 분석에는 아미노산분석기를 사용하는 것과 비교할 때 GC/MS만 사용하여 동시에 유기산과 아미노산을 분석함으로써 전처리가 간단하고 짧은 분석시간과 우수한 감도, 정확도, 정밀도를 보여 주었다. 정상인과 대사이상질환 환자의 검체에 적용해 보았을 때, 본 분석방법은 유기산과 아미노산대사이상의 유전성대사질환 환자의 스크리닝, 진단 및 모니터링에 임상적으로 유용함을 보여주었다.

본 연구에서는 headspace-solid phase microextraction(HS-SPME)-GC/MS법을 이용하여 PVC 벽지의 원자재에서 방출되는 TVOC를 분석하여 기여도를 평가하였다. 시료로 사용한 원자재는 6종으로 희석제, 안정제, 가소제, 충전제, 발포제와 PVC 레진이다. 각 원자재 시료를 22 mL 바이알에 9 mL씩 취한뒤 $100^{\circ}C$에서 1시간동안 평형을 이룬 다음 $75{\mu}m$ Carboxen-PDMS 화이버로 $25^{\circ}C$에서 1시간 흡착하여 GC/MS로 분석하였다. 정성결과 toluene, ethylbenzene 그리고 xylene과 같은 방향족 화합물과 acetone, methoxyacetone, 2-butanone 등의 케톤류와 nonane, decane, undecane 등의 알켄류가 검출되었다. 그 밖에도 ethanol, butanol 등의 알콜류와 알데히드류 등이 검출되었다. TVOC 방출량은 희석제 $54.20{\mu}g/g$, 안정제 $32.88{\mu}g/g$, 가소제 $0.50{\mu}g/g$, PVC 레진 $0.88{\mu}g/g$, 발포제 $0.22{\mu}g/g$, 충전제가 $0.11{\mu}g/g$로 나타났다. 각 원자재의 TVOC 방출량과 배합비를 고려한 TVOC 기여도는 희석제 0.708, 안정제 0.129, PVC 레진 0.115 순으로 높게 나타났다. 따라서 희석제와 안정제, PVC레진의 질적인 개선을 통해 TVOC 방출량을 줄이는 노력이 필요하다. 또한 본 연구에서 개발한 HS-SPME-GC/MS 방법은 원자재의 TVOC 분석에 유용하게 사용될 것으로 생각된다.

Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI MS) was used, along with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), to monitor Paal-Knorr synthesis of 2,5-dimethyl-1-phenylpyrrole by condensation of aniline with 2,5-hexanedione. In addition to 2,5-dimethyl-1-phenylpyrrole observed as a single spot by TLC, unexpected dimer size compounds were observed by GC-MS. Dimers and trimers were observed by ESI MS. ESI tandem mass spectrometry was used to select plausible structures for the dimer. ESI MS with or without liquid chromatographic separation is useful for observing oligomeric byproducts with low volatility produced in organic reactions.
