The effect of antioxidants on photochemical reaction of pefloxacin by UVB (290~320 nm) was investigated and the possible mechanism of phototoxicity on the skin was also studied. The photo-degradation of pefloxacin by UVB was suppressed by cysteine, reduced glutathione and ascorbic acid, but was promoted by ${\alpha}-tocopherol$. Squalene, accounts for more than 10% of skin surface lipids, was peroxidized by pefloxacin through both radical and singlet oxygen mechanism.

This surveies were carried out to investigate the residual levels of fluoroquinolones in chicken and quail eggs by bioassay and HPLC method. The eggs of 240 samples collected from market and farm in Gwangju Metropolitan city were examined from May to December in 2003. Residual antibiotic materials were detected from 47 samples of the 240 eggs by bioassay. Of the 240 eggs assayed, ciprofloxacin, danofloxacin, norfloxacin, ofloxacin, orbifloxacin and perfloxacin were not detected but enrofloxacin was detected from 5 samples in 228 chicken eggs and 1 sample in 12 quail eggs using HPLC with fluorescence detector by multi-residue method. 2 sample eggs in 6 sample which were detected by HPLC were not positive with bioassay. The average residual concentration of enrofloxacin was 0.494 mg/kg in 6 positive samples. The highest residual concentration of enrofloxacin was 1.83mg/kg.

The aim of this study was to acquire level on the occurrence of five fluoroquinolones(FQs) residue among cultured eels in Jeonbuk province. Samples were collected from the four local area(Kunsan, Gochang, Wanju and Osu) and surveyed on the distribution of FQs residual level in edible muscle using HPLC method. A total of 90 samples of eel was monitored for detection of the FQs residue. Among them, 30 eels(33.3%) were detected the FQs single or paired, respectively. The detection ratios were showed Osu(40%, 8/20), Gochang(33%, 13/44), Wanju(30%, 6/20) and Kunsan(30%, 3/10) in order, respectively. The ratio was equivalent to over 30% of overall in sampled area. The most frequently detected FQs were perfloxacin(PF) followed by enrofloxacin(EF), ciprofloxacin(CF), ofloxacin(OF) and norfloxacin(NF). Eight different combinations of FQ residual patterns were observed as single(5 type, 21%) or as paired(3type, 12,5%) respectively and frequently encountered patterns were PF(37%) and PF-EF(23%). The residual level of FQs was evaluated in the range of 1-75 ug/kg and the most prevalent levels of FQs was found in 1-25 ug/kg(35 fish, 85%) followed by 26-50 ug/kg(5 fishes, 11%) and 51-75 ug/kg(1 fishes, 3.3%). These results could be possible that the cultured eels were mostly exposed with PF, EF and CF, and might be treated with a variety of fluoroquinolones for prevention of bacterial disease.
