본 연구는 탄소 빔의 분할조사 후 세포생존율 (Surviving Fraction, SF) 값에 따른 Linear-Quadratic model, Incomplete Repair model, Marchese model의 결과값을 비교하기 위해 진행하였다. 탄소 빔을 4fraction까지 조사한 후 얻은 세포생존율 값을 바탕으로 mathematica 프로그램 (ver 9.0)을 이용하여 각각의 모델로 결과값을 얻어 비교해 보았다. 그 결과 즉시 NB1RGB를 시딩한 값은 repair가 감안되지 않은 LQ 모델이 적합하였지만 fraction 시행한 후의 결과값은 오차를 보였다. 따라서 Potentially Lethal Damage Repair (PLDR)과 Sublethal Damage Repair (SLDR)의 발생을 각각 감안한 repair 모델을 이용하여 적합한지 판단하였다. 이를 바탕으로 탄소 빔의 분할 조사 시 LQ 모델에 각각의 repair의 양을 감안한 새로운 회복 관련 모델의 적용 가능성을 보고자 하였다.

The analytical in vivo chromium ion was searched for using a voltammetric hollow-fiber dialysis sensor via square wave stripping voltammetry (SW), cyclic voltammetry (CV), and chronoamperometry. Under optimum parameters, the analytical results indicated linear working ranges of 50~400 mg/l CV and $10{\sim}80\;{\mu}g/l$ SW within a 30-sec accumulation time. The analytical detection limit (S/N) was $6.0\;{\mu}g/l$. The developed method can be applied to in vivo tissues and in ex vivo toxicity assay, as well as to other materials that require chromium analysis.

The cyclic dimers of enkephalin were isolated as minor components during the solution synthesis of the corresponding cyclic monomers. The ratio of cyclic dimer to monomer was approximately 1:4 from the percent of yields. In the receptor binding assay of two cyclic dimmers, ($Tyr_2-C[D-Glu-Phe-gPhe]_2$ 6, $Tyr_2-C[D-Asp-Phe-gPhe-rLeu]_2$ 8), both analogs exhibited the high preference for ${\delta}$ receptor compared to monocyclic counterparts. In the nociceptive activity, both showed about 5 times less potent than the cyclic monomers. The repeated synthesis of 14-membered cyclic analog, Tyr-C[D-Glu-Phe-gPhe-D-rLeu] 14, which was known as having three distinct cis-trans isomers, gave rise to apparently different conformational analog arousing only trans isomer. In the receptor binding assay, it showed tremendously high selectivity toward ${\mu}$ receptor $({\delta}/{\mu}=160)$.

A voltammetric analysis of doxycycline was developed using DNA immobilized onto a carbon nanotube paste electrode (PE). An anodic peak current was indicated at 0.2 V (versus Ag/AgCl) in a 0.1M $NH_4H_2PO_4$ electrolyte solution. The linear working range of the cyclic and square wave stripping voltammetry was obtained to $1-27ngL^{-1}$ with an accumulation time of 800 s. Final analytical parameters were optimized to be as follows: amplitude, 0.35 V; frequency, 500 Hz; and pH, 5.43. Here detection limit was found to be $0.45ngL^{-1}$, this result can be applied in foods systems and in the biological diagnostics

A high-performance liquid chromatographic method with fluorometric detection was evaluated for analysis of ofloxacin in plasma. Biological fluids (plasma, $200\;{\mu}L$) were prepared for assay by protein precipitation with chlorofurm. The detection of ofloxacin and triamterene as an internal standard were performed at 358 nm for excitation and 495 nm for emission. The HPLC separation was carried out on Ultrasphere ODS column (4.6 mm${\times}25\;cm,\;5\;{\mu} m$) with acetonitrile $(45\%)$-phosphoric acid $(1.5\%)\;containing\;0.3\%$ sodium laurylsulfate as the mobile phase. The flow-rate was 1.0 mL/min. The calibration graphs were linear from 3.0 to 80 ng/mL with r=0.998. The minimal detectable concentration in plasma was 1.5 ng/mL. The proposed technique is reproducible, selective, reliable and sensitive.

Three different methods of bacterial viability monitoring were compared to detect chemically or thermally inactivated Escherichia coli. Direct colony enumeration, live/dead bacterial cell staining with a fluorescent dye, and the dehydrogenase activity assay were compared with respect to their ease of use and time required to perform the three different tests. The green (live cell)/red (dead cell) ratio obtained from the fluorescent bacterial cell staining approach showed a linear relationship with the colony forming units; the result obtained with dehydrogenase was similar to those. The sensitivity of the monitoring methods to detect bacterial deactivation varied with different disinfection conditions. After thermal treatment, the sensitivity of the staining approach was lower, while that of the dehydrogenase activity assay was the highest. After chemical treatment, the sensitivity of detection for both methods was similar.

A sensitive and specific method is described for the determination of midazolam in human plasma. The drug was extracted from 1 mL of carbonate buffered plasma (pH 9.6) with 8 mL of diethyl ether. Famprofazone was used as internal standard. The organic phase was evaporated to dryness. The residue was dissolved in methanol for the direct analysis by gas chromatograph-nitrogen phosphorus detector system. In the concentration range of 1-5000 ng/mL, the calibration curve was linear. The coefficients of variation from the precision test were <6% at the range of the concentration of 0.10-2.00 μg/mL and the detection limit for midazolam in 1 mL of plasma was o.5 ng. This assay is more sensitive, selective, simple and rapid than earlier methods. Plasma midazolam concentrations were determined by this method after administration of midazolam.

방사선 피폭선량의 예측을 위한 방사선 민감 지표 모델 개발의 일환으로 apoptotic fragment assay법이 방사선에 피폭된 후 체내 피폭선량을 예측할 수 있는 지표로의 이용 가능성을 평가하기 위하여 코발트-60 감마선과 의료용 싸이크로트론 50MeV($p{\rightarrow}Be^+$) fast neutron 을 0.25Gy에서 1Gy의 선량을 마우스에 각각 전신 조사한 후 소장 음와세포내 apoptotic crypt cell의 수적 변화를 관찰하였다. 저선량 조사군에서 apoptotic crypt cell의 출현 빈도가 1Gy까지 급격하게 증가한 것으로 보아 방사선이 stem cell 지역에 있는 crypt cell의 형태학적 변화를 유발하는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과는 아포토시스가 손상된 세포를 제거하므로 손상된 방사선 민감 표적 장기의 항상성 유지에 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 판단되었다. Apoptotic fragments의 발생빈도에 대한 선량-반응 곡선에 있어서 음와세포는 중성자조사군이 $y=0.18+(9.728{\pm}0.887)D+(-4.727{\pm}1.033)D^2$ ($r^2=0.984$)으로, 반면에 감마선조사군은 $y=0.18+(5.125{\pm}0.601)D+(-2.652{\pm}0.7000)D^2$ ($r^2=0.970$)의 식을 얻었다. 이와 같이 중성자조사군과 감마선조사군은 공히 linear quadratic model 로 관찰되었다. apoptotic fragments 의 발생빈도와 조사 선량간에 유의한 효과가 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 이상의 결과에서 조사선량의 증가에 비례하여 방사선 민감 세포의apoptotic fragments 가 수적으로 증가하였으며, 고준위 방사선과 저준위 방사선은 선량 반응 관계식과 시간 경과에 따른 영향이 매우 유사하였으며, 마우스 음와세포의 apoptosis 유도에 대한 중성자선의 방사선 생물학적 효과비(RBE)는 2.072이였다. 그리고 모든 방사선조사군에서 방사선피폭 후 4시간과 6시간에 apoptosis 유도가 가장 많았으며, 음와세포의 형태학적 소견은 정상 대조군에서 관찰되지 않는 전형적인 apoptotic fragments 가 나타났다. 따라서 음와 세포에서의 아포토시스 유도는 방사선 피폭으로 발생된 세포 손상의 생물학적 영향 평가검색, 방사선 방호제의 민감도 검사, 방사성 동위원소의 체내 오염에 대한 체내 피폭선량 예측의 지표 및 방사선 민감 표적장기의 손상정도 파악에 이용 가능할 것임. Apoptotic fragment assay 법은 0.25Gy에서 1Gy 까지의 선량에서 간편하고 빠르며 재현성이 있는 지표로서 방사선 민감 표적 장기의 선량 반응 평가와 방사선 피폭후 조기 피폭선량 예측을 위한 방사선 생물학적 선량측정법의 좋은 지표로 사용할 수 있을 것으로 사료됨.

Although animal and epidemiological studies have suggested oxidative stress as an etiological factor in pathogenesis including cancer, inflammation, sepsis, fibrosis, cardiovascularlneurodegenerative diseases and aging-related disorders, conflicting results have been obtained in clinical trial with antioxidants. The reason for this discrepancy remains unknown but may be due, in part, to the lack of a validated assay system for evaluating antioxidant capacity. The antioxidant activity of a series of sugar alcohols against peroxyl radicals, hydroxyl radicals and peroxynitrites was determined by the total oxy-radical scavenging capacity (TOSC) assay and cell-based assay using H4IIE cells. Specific TOSC values calculated from the slope of the linear regression for erythritol, xylitol, sorbitol or mannitol against peroxyl radicals was $2.1{\pm}0.2,\;3.7{\pm}0.3,\;9.1{\pm}0.3$ or $8.7{\pm}1.1$ TOSC/mM, respectively. Specific TOSC values for erythritol, xylitol, sorbitol or mannitol against peroxynitrite was $1.9{\pm}0.3,\;3.9{\pm}0.4,\;7.8{\pm}0.7$ or $7.7{\pm}0.5$ TOSC/mM, respectively. These results suggest that oxy-radical scavenging capacity is dependent on the number of aliphatic hydroxyl group in sugar alcohols of monosaccharide. Tert-butylhydroperoxide (t-BHP)-induced cell toxicity determined by MTT assay was marginally attenuated by 10 mM erythritol, but completely inhibited by 10 mM xylitol, 2 mM sorbitol or 0.75 mM maltitol, a disaccharide alcohol. Oxidative stress markers, such as glutathione (GSH) and malondial-dehyde (MDA) levels, were measured in t-BHP-treated cells using HPLC equipped with a fluorescence detector and a reverse phase column. Erythritol did not change the levels of GSH and MDA in H411E cells treated with t-BHP. The t-BHP-induced changes in cellular GSH and MDA levels were ameliorated by 10 mM xylitol and completely blocked by 10 mM sorbitol and maltitol. These results indicate that sugar alcohols protect cells against oxidative stress via scavenging oxy-radical and suggest that TOSC assay in conjunction with cell-based assay is a valid method for evaluating antioxidant capacity of natural and synthetic chemicals.

불의의 방사선 피폭 환자의 체내 방사선 피폭선량의 예측을 위한 방사선 생물학적 선량측정 개발의 일환으로 저선량 피폭환자의 체내 피폭선량 측정 지표로서의 미소핵 분석법 이용 가능성을 평가하기 위하여 코발트-60 감마선을 0.25 Gy에서 1 G의 선량을 인체 말초 혈액에 조사한 후 임파구내에 미소핵의 수적 변화를 형태학적으로 관찰하였다. 저선량에 피폭된 임파구에서 미소핵이 관찰되었으며, 선량에 따른 수적인 변화도 나타났다. 저선량 피폭에 대한 미소핵의 수적 변화에 대한 선량-반응 곡선은 $Y=(0.02{\pm}0.0009)+(0.033{\pm}0.010)D+(0.012{\pm}0.012)D^2$의 식을 얻었으며, linear quadratic model 이였다. 이상의 결과에서 미소핵의 발생 빈도와 피폭 선량간에 유의한 효과가 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 그리고 정상대조군에서는 세포당 $0.02{\pm}0.0009$개가 관찰되었다. 따라서 말초 임파구를 이용한 미소핵 분석법은 저선량 피폭환자의 체내 피폭선량 측정은 물론 방사선 방호제의 검색 및 방사선 민감도 검사를 위한 방사선 생물학적 지표로 이용 가능하며, 특히 이 방법은 간편하고 정확하며 재현성이 있는 방법으로 불의의 방사선 피폭 사고시 체내 피폭선량을 예측하는 좋은 지표로 사용되어질 수 있을 것으로 사료됨.
