Present experiment was performed in order to establish the optimal reaction conditions for determination of urinary AAP and GRS activities and to investigate the applicability of urinary AAP and GRS in nephrotoxicity test in rat. The results were as follows ; 1. The optimal pH of phosphate buffer for determination of urinary AAP activity was 7.8. 2. The Michaelis constant of urinary AAP ranged from 0.8 to 1.0mmol/$\ell$ 3. The optimal wave length for determination of urinary GRS activity was 405nm. 4. The optimal pH of acetate buffer for determination of urinary GRS activity was 5.6. 5. The Michaelis constant of urinary GRS ranged from 0.65~0.79mmo1/$\ell$. 6. The AAP activities in gel-filtered samples were significantly higher than those in crude samples. Mean values of AAP activities in gel-filtered samples and crude samples were 29$\pm$20 and 20$\pm$13U/$\ell$, respectively. 7. There was not significant difference between gel-filtered samples and crude samples in urinary GRS activities. Mean values of GRS activities in gel-filtered samples and crude samples were 57$\pm$40 and 56$\pm$39U/$\ell$, respectively. 8. Limits of linearity of urinary AAP and GRS activities were 2.0 and 3.6U/$\ell$, respectively. 9. Within-run imprecisions of the assays, were acceptable, as the coefficients of the AAP activities ranged from 5.5 to 6.3% and those of GRS activities ranged from 1.4 to 6.2%, respectively. 10. Urinary AAP excretion was 675$\pm$227mu/24hrs.kg before administration of potassium dichromate, and increased significantly to 4246$\pm$2567mU/24hrs.kg within 24 hours after administration of potassium dichromate. 11. Urinary GRS excretion did not increase significantly after administration of potassim dichromate. 12. From these findings it is concluded that urinary AAP excretion is early and sensitive Indicator to detect kidney damage in nephrotoxicity experiment.

크롬염의 일종인 중크롬산칼륨($K_2Cr_2O_7$)의 세포독성을 배양 NIH3T3 섬유모세포를 재료로 산화적 손상측면에서 조사하였으며, 또한 $K_2Cr_2O_7$의 세포독성에 대한 짚신나물(Agrimonia pilosa var., AP) 추출물의 영향을 세포생존율을 비롯한 LDH 억제능 및 superoxide anion-radical (SAR) 소거능과 같은 항산화 측면에서 분석하였다. 본 실험에서 배양 NIH3T3 섬유모세포에 $25{\sim}35{\mu}M$의 $K_2Cr_2O_7$을 각각 처리한 결과, 처리 농도에 따라 대조군에 비하여 세포생존율이 유의하게 감소되었으며, 이 때 $XTT_{50}$값은 $37.5{\mu}M$에서 나타나 고독성(highly-toxic)인 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 항산화제인 BHT는 $K_2Cr_2O_7$의 세포독성을 유효하게 방어하였다. AP 추출물은 $K_2Cr_2O_7$의 세포독성에 의하여 감소된 세포생존율을 유의하게 증가시킴으로서 세포독성을 방어하였다. 이와 동시에, AP 추출물은 LDH 활성 저해능을 비롯하여 SAR 소거능을 보임으로서 항산화 효과를 나타냈다. 위의 결과로부터 $K_2Cr_2O_7$의 세포독성에 산화적 손상이 관여하고 있는 것을 확인하였고, AP 추출물은 $K_2Cr_2O_7$의 독성을 항산화능에 의하여 효과적으로 방어하였다. 따라서, AP 추출물과 같은 천연성분은 크롬과 같은 산화적 손상과 관련된 독성을 방어할 수 있으므로 산화적 손상에 의한 질환 치료를 위한 물질로 활용적 가치가 크다고 사료된다.

A series of experiments was conducted to identify the potential of five phytoplankton species as standard test species for marine ecotoxicological tests. The candidate phytoplankton species are Skeletonema costatum, Heterosigma akashiwo, Prorocentrum micans, Isochrysis galbana, and Tetraselmis suecica. Salinity tolerance and sensitivity on potassium dichromate as a reference material were identified. Toxicity of eleven ocean dumped sewage sludges and four red tide expellent extracts were estimated by the inhibition of population growth rates (PGR) of marine diatom S. costatum, While most species revealed relatively weak tolerance on salinity, T. suecica demonstrated the highest salinity tolerance ranged from $5\~35$ psu and the others $15\~35$ psu. H. akashiwo revealed the highest sensitivity as 72h $IC_{50}$=0.76mg/L and T. suecica the lowest as 72h $IC_{50}$=8.89mg/L on potassium dichromate. Sludge extracts from industrial waste, domestic sewage and livestock farm waste sludge showed high toxicity as 72h $IC_{50}$<$2\%$ and lowest toxicity from filtration bed sludge as 72h $IC_{50}$=$30.50\%$ NOEC (No Observed Effective Concentration) of sludge extract ranged from <$0.4\%$ to $1.6\%$ and this indicated high phytotoxicity of ocean dumped sewage sludge. The test sensitivity of phytoplankton PGR inhibition was much higher than those of marine rotifer Brachionus plicatilis mortality test and bioluminescent inhibition test by marine bacteria Vibrio fischeri, and comparable with the sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus intermedius) fertilization test. As a result the phytotoxicity test using phytoplankton PGR inhibition ($IC_{50}$) must be a useful tool for marine phyto-toxicological evaluation of ocean dumped materials.

산성용액중에서 백금음극을 사용하여 중크롬산이온의 환원을 전위주사법 및 정전위전해에 의하여 검토하였다. 지지전해질로서 황산나트륨(pH 1.5∼4.0)을 사용한 비완충용액중의 중크롬산칼륨의 분극곡선은 3단파가 생기며 첫째파 및 둘째파의 파고는 각각 크롬(Ⅵ)농도 및 수소이온의 활동도에 비례하나 셋째파는 어느 것에도 비례하지 않았다. 첫째 및 둘째 peak이 전류는 전위주사속도(${\nu}$)에 비례하나 셋째 peak는 50mV/sec이하의 늦은 주사속도에서 ${\nu}^{1/2}$에 비례하였다. 정전위전해에 의하면, 크롬(Ⅵ)의 환원은 셋째 peak보다 더 base이고 초기 pH가 약 2.3 이상이 되면 완전히 억제되었다. 그러므로 이 세 peak는 각각 $Cr_2O_7^{\to}Cr^{3+},\;2H^+{\to}H_2$ 및 음극피막의 형성으로 간주하였다.

요오드화칼륨으로부터 요오드산칼륨까지의 양극산화시 그 반응의 내용을 검토키 위하여 전착과산화납 및 백금양극을 사용하여 각종 농도의 요오드화칼륨 수용액중에서 분극곡선을 측정한 결과 요오드화칼륨의 1.5M이하에서 한계전류가 존재하며 0.1M의 수산화칼륨을 가하였을때는 한계전류는 나타나지 않음을 알았다. 한편 백금양극의 경우에는 과산화납양극에서와 같이 희박한 요오드화 칼륨수용액중에서 한계전류가 나타나지 않으며 이는 과산화납양극표면에서 $PbO_2+2I^{-}+2H^+{\to}PbO+I_2+H_{2}O$와 같은 화학반응에 기인함을 알았다. 무격막전해조를 사용하여 요오드화염으로부터 요오드산염까지의 전해제조시 가장 효율적인 전해조건에 관하여서도 검토한 결과, (a)환원방지제인 중크롬산칼륨의 첨가는 0.1g/l의 농도가 적당하였으며, (b)전해온도는 전류효율에 큰 영향을 미치지 않았으며, (c)전류밀도가 증가함에 따라 전류효율은 상승하였고, (d)전해중 전해액의 액성은 약알카리성이 가장 효율적이었다.

On the electrolytic preparation of sodium chlorate, lead dioxide anode, instead of graphite was tested to find out the characteristics for current efficiency and life in various conditions. The results obtained are summerized as follows; 1. The current efficiency is slightly increased with the anode current density, until 25A/$dm^2$ 2. The higher the current concentrations. the lower current efficiencies are observed, particularly in case of both not-adding the potassium dichromate and large current concentration of more than 50A/l 3. The current efficiency may be improved linearly as the both temperature is raised.

쥐와포자충(MCR주)을 장기간에 걸쳐 그 생명을 유지시키기 위하여 냉동 보존을 시도하였다. 그 오오시스트를 냉동보호제를 첨가하지 않고 증류수에 현탁시켜 $-20^{\circ}C$에서 24시간 예비냉각시킨 다음 $-70^{\circ}C$에 냉동보존하였다. 냉동 오오시스트를 $5^\circ}C$에서 해동시켜 마우스에 접종시킨 바 15개월간 냉동보존시켜토 사멸하지 않고 마우스에의 감염성이 유지되었다. 한편, 2.5% 중크롬산칼륨에 현탁시켜 6.5개월간 $5^{\circ}C$에 냉장한 오오시스트는 이미 사멸하여 감염성이 소실되었다.

The production of reactive oxygen species on addition of hexavalent chromium (potassium dichromate, $K_2Cr_2O_7$ ) to lung cells in culture was studied using flow cytometer analysis. A Coulter Epics Profile flow cytometer was used to detect the formation of reactive oxygen species after $K_2Cr_2O_7$ was added to A549 cells grown to confluence. The cells were loaded with the dye, 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate, after which cellular esterases removed the acetate groups and the dye was trapped intracellularly. Reactive oxygen species oxidized the dye, with resultant fluorescence. Increased doses of Cr(VI) caused increasing fluorescence (10-fold higher than background at 200 gM). Addition of Cr(III) compounds, as the picolinate or chloride, caused no increased fluorescence. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopic studies indicated that three (as yet unidentified) spectral "signals" of the free radical type were formed on addition of 20, 50, 100 and 200 gM Cr(VI) to the A549 cells in suspension. Two other EPR 'signals" with the characteristics of Cr(V) entities were seen at field values lower than the standard free radical value. radical value.

In order to identify potential biomarkers of environmental monitoring, we evaluated heat shock genes expressions as effects of various environmental pollutants (nonylphenol, bisphenol-A, 17a­ethynyl estradiol, bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate, endosulfan, paraquat dichloride, chloropyriphos, fenitrothion, cadmium chloride, lead nitrate, potassium dichromate, benzo[a]pyrene and carbon tetrachloride) on larvae of aquatic midge Chironomus tentans (Diptera, Chironomidae). Heat shock protein 70 gene expression increased in most of chemicals treated larvae compared to control. The response was rapid and sensitive to low chemical concentrations but not stressor specific. In conjunction with stressor specific biomarkers, heat shock protein 70 gene expression in Chironomus might be developed for assessing exposure to environmental stressors in the fresh water ecosystem. Considering the potential of Chironomus larvae as biomonitoring species, heat shock gene expression has a considerable potential as a sensitive biomarker for environmental monitoring in Chironomus.
