beta-Amyloid (A$\beta$) peptide is the major component of senile plaques and considered to have a causal role in the development and progression of Alzheimer's disease. There has been compelling evidence supporting that $A\beta$-induced cytotoxicity is mediated through oxidative and/or nitrosative stress. Recently, considerable attention has been focused on dietary manipulation of oxidative and/or nitrosative damage. L-Egrothioneine (EGT) is a low-molecular weight naturally occurring thiol compound of dietary origin which exists in milimolar concentrations in the brain, liver, kindney, erythrocytes, ocular tissues and in seminal fluids of mammals.

Ohmic joule heating electrodes were developed for the electrical heater of the floor of a room. A composite slurry of super pure black and polyvinylidene fluoride with/without the additives of multi-walled carbon nanotube or kindney stone powder was coated as a thin film on the polyethylene terephthalate film. The performances of heating electrodes were evaluated checking specific conductivity, adhesion strength and hardness. The addition of kindney stone powder increases specific resistance and hardness in a small extent. However, the addition of carbon nanotube increases specific conductivity and hardness. The properties of various compositions of ohmic joule heating electrodes were evaluated.

Bumetanide, when given intravenously in dogs, induced a potent diuresis with an increased amounts of sodium and potassium excreted in urine due to inhibition of reabsorbing them in renal tubule. Furthermore, clearances of osmolar substance and para-aminohippuric acid were increased, but clearace of free water diminished without any change of creatinine clearance. Bumetanide, administered directly into a renal artery, elicited diuresis only in the infused(experimental) kidney by the same mode of action as in the intravenous cases in renal function of the dog. Renal effects of intravenous bumetanide after pretreatment with the small dose of indomethacin (5.0mg/kg) revealed reduction only in clearance of paraaminohippuric acid. However the much dose of indomethacin (5.0mg/kg+5.0mg/kg/hr) or arachidonic acid showed a significant inhibition in the change rates of all renal function by bumetanide. Morover, pretreatment of probenecid also made a marked reduction in renal effects induced by bumetanide. From the above results, it is thought that bumetanide causes diuretic action due to dual mechanism inhibiting reabsorption of electrolytes in loop of Henle and increasing blood flow in kindney, that are provoked through the mediation of prostaglandins.

Ovariectomy induced hyperphagia was reported in various animal models. It was postulated that hyperphagia resulted in interstinal hypertrophy and hyperplasia. Therefore, this study was performed to compare the food intake and intestinal changes between ovariectomized rats(OVX) and sham operated rats(Sham). Results of this study showed that the food intake and body weight of OVX animal was significantly higher than those of Sham animal. This results confirmed the effect of ovarian hormone on the food intake regulation. Hyperphagia induced by ovariectomy influence the intestinal cell growth and showed hyperplasia determined by protein/DNA ratio. Maltase and alkaline phosphatase activity suggested that the intestinal cell was fully matured in body groups. There were no difference in weight of other organs, such as liver, heart and kindney between two groups.

Four sulfoanmides ; sulfamerazine ; sulfamethazine, sulfathiazole and sulfadimethoxine from muscle, kindney, liver and heart tissues of pork and chicken by LC. Residual sulfonamides were extracted with dichloromethane and determined on a Sperisorb ODS-1 column(250mm$\times$4.6mm id) with acetonitrile/water/acetic acid (30/70/0.3 v/v) as a mobile phase at 260nm. Recoveries from 4 tissues of pork and chicken samples fortified with 50 and 100 ppb were 71.2~87.2% and 73.7~89.6%, respectively. The detection limit was 0.03 $\mu\textrm{g}$/g in each drug. Sulfamethazine in 5 samples of pork. And sulfadimethoxine in 5 samples and sulfamethazine in 3 samples were also detected from 41 samples of chicken. The order of residue levels of sulfonamides in tissues was kidney>liver>heart>muscle, respectively. The residue levels of sulfonamides from kidney and liver were 0.03~0.15 $\mu\textrm{g}$/g in porks and 0.03~0.10 $\mu\textrm{g}$/g in chickens.

An experimental study was conducted to determine the quantity of contamination of organophosphrous pesticides accumulated in each human tissues. The samples used for this experiment were spleen, lung, heart, liver and kindney and those tissues were homogenized by a blender. The homogenized materials was extracted with mixed solvent, acetone/benzene (1:1) and cleaned up on a activated carbon column and determined by gas chromatography using AFID supported on 5% QF-1. The average recovery rate was 94% and the results obtained are summarized as follows. 1) The quantities of Malathin accumulated in each tissues were 0.53 ppm in spleen, 0.42 ppm in lung, 0.34 ppm in kidney, 0.19 ppm in heart and 0.19 ppm in liver. 2) Residues of pesticides in chronic or acute intoxicated tissues were highest in the spleen, decreasing in order of the lung, kidney, heart, and liver. 3) According to the above resuk we can conclude that the most proper material in detecting the pesticide is the spleen.

This study was designed in order to clarify the effect of ethanol drinking on the mineral contents on liver, kidney, muscle and hair. Forty-five rats were divided into 2 groups and a control group. The control group received tap water and the other 2 groups were given 8% and 40% ethanol as drinking source. Liver, kindney, muscle and hair samples were taken and analyzed for zinc, calcium and copper contents by atomic absorption spectrophotometric methods. The results obtained are summrized as follows; 1. The zinc content of muscle showed significant (p<0.01) decrease in both groups. 2. The calcium content of hair showed significant (p<0.1) increase in 8% ethanol group. 3. The copper contents of kidney and muscle in 8% ethanol group and liver in 40% ethanol group showed significant (p<0.1) decrease.

Intraosseous carcinoma of the jaw may arise as metastatic lesions most commonly from breast, lung, kindney and thyroid and also primarily occur from ameloblastoma or odontogenic cyst. Rarely primary intraosseous carcinoma could be originated from the epithelium involved in odontogenesis. According to WHO's classification, primary intraosseous carcinoma is defined as squamous cell carcinoma, occured in the Jaw without connection to the oral mucosa. However, Elzay defined primary intraosseous carcinoma as malignant epithelial tumor related to the odontogenic apparatus, including carcinoma ex-odontogenic cyst, carcinoma ex-ameloblastoma and carcinoma de novo. We experienced 2 cases of intraosseous carcinoma of the jaw. The first case, a 59-year-old man, showed a ill-defined mass on the left maxilla, measuring $8{\times}10cm$ in size. He received radical hemimaxillectomy and was diagnosed as ameloblastic carcinoma. The second case obtained from a 79-year-old woman showed a ill-defined $6{\times}8cm$ sized mass on the left mandibular body area. The mass was surgically removed by partial mandibulaectomy, which was diagnosed as the primary intraosseous carcinoma, probably odontogenic origin.

On April of 2000 and February of 2001, a disease characterized by darkening, ascites and enlargement of the spleen occurred in flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus, farmed near northern and eastern coasts of Korea. Various degree of necrosis including liquefactive-type was observed mainly in hemopoietic tissue of spleen and kindney. Certain tissue such as branchial soft tissue including epithelium showed a similar necrotic findings. But some tissues such as intentine had several necrotic clusters of wandering cells, being possibly leukocytes. Necrotic evidences of blood cells were evident in various tissues including hemopoietic tissues. Necrobiotic bodies were frequently encountered in blood smear preparations. Bullet type-virious were detected in the spleenic cells. Each virion was about 500 nm in diameter and 170nm in length. From these results, this disease was thought to be a rhabdoviral disease.
