Particulate matter (PM) data collected from the Urban Air Monitoring Network in Busan during the period from 2006 through 2010 were statistically examined and analyzed to estimate the probability of exceeding $PM_{2.5}$ 24 hour and annual standard to be implemented from January $1^{st}$, 2015. For Jangrimdong, Yeonsandong, Kijangeup, and Jwadong where simultaneous measurement of $PM_{10}$ and $PM_{2.5}$ was conducted, the probability of exceeding $PM_{2.5}$ standards was estimated using $PM_{2.5}$ data measured on site. For other areas where there were no measured $PM_{2.5}$ data available, the probability of exceeding $PM_{2.5}$ standards was statistically estimated using $PM_{10}$ measured on site and $PM_{2.5}/PM_{10}$ ratios obtained from the four stations where both $PM_{2.5}$ and $PM_{10}$ were monitored simultaneously. At Jangrimdong, Yeonsandong, Kijangeup, and Jwadong, mean value of annual 99 percentile of 24 hr average $PM_{2.5}$ for 5 years from 2006 through 2010 was 99.3, 74.5. 57.0, and $62.5{\mu}g/m^3$, respectively, and the probability of exceeding $PM_{2.5}$ 24 hr standard was estimated at 100%. For areas where there were no measured $PM_{2.5}$ data available, the estimated probability of exceeding $PM_{2.5}$ 24 hr standard was more than 0.82. Mean value of annual average $PM_{2.5}$ from 2008 through 2010 was 31.7 and $27.6{\mu}g/m^3$ for Jangrimdong and Yeonsandong, respectively, which exceeded $PM_{2.5}$ annual standard of $25{\mu}g/m^3$. Mean value of annual average $PM_{2.5}$ during the same period for Kijangeup and Jwadong was 19.2 and $20.7{\mu}g/m^3$, respectively, which satisfied $PM_{2.5}$ annual standard. For other areas where there were no measured $PM_{2.5}$ data available, the probability of exceeding $PM_{2.5}$ annual standard was more than 0.95 except Taejongdae and Kwangahndong. With $PM_{10}$ and $PM_{2.5}$ data measured at 17 Urban Air Monitoring Stations in Busan, the probability of exceeding $PM_{2.5}$ standards was estimated to be very high for almost all areas. This result indicates that proper measures to mitigate $PM_{2.5}$ in Busan should be investigated and established as soon as possible.

과학영농과 친환경농업이 대두되면서 토양검정량이 급속하게 증가하고 이에 대처하기 위해 신속하게 분석할 수 있는 분석 방법이 요구되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 신속 간편하게 분석할 수 있는 다성분동시 추출방법으로 개발된 Mehlich III법, Mod. Morgan법, Kelowna 법과 국내에서 사용 중인 유효태 인산 분석법인 Lancaster법, 치환성 양이온 분석법인 1M $NH_4OAc법으로 분석되는 분석치들 간의 상관관계를 검토하기 위하여 토양특성이 다양한 우리나라 농경지 115개소에서 토양을 채취하여 여러 가지 방법으로 화학적 분석을 실시하였다. 다성분동시추출 분석방법인 Mehlich III법, Mod. Morgan법, Kelowna법과 기존의 유효인산 분석방법인 Lancaster법과 치환성 양이온 분석방법인 1M $NH_4OAc법으로 추출한 분석치는 모두 고도로 유의한 직선적인 상관관계에 있었다. 유효인산은 Mehlich III법, Mod. Morgan법, Kelowna 법과 Lancaster법으로 추출되는 분석치간에 결정계수($R^2) 의 크기는 Mehlich III법($0.979^{***}$) > Kelowna법 ($0.977^{***}$) > Mod. Morgan법($0.553^{***}$)의 순으로 Mehlich III 법 이상관이 가장 높게 나타났고 Lancaster 법보다 토양 중의 인산을 평균적으로 28% 많이 추출하였다. 치환성 양이온에서도 화산회 토양에서 추출되는 나트륨 성분을 제외하고는 Mehlich III 법으로 추출되는 분석치가 1M $NH_4OAc법으로 추출되는 것과 가장 상관이 높았다. 따라서 ICP를 이용하여 유효인산과 치환성 양이온의 분석은 다성분동시추출방법인 Mehlich III법이 이용 가능할 것으로 판단되었다.

선관측에 기초한 DOAS와 같은 광투과 분석방식의 계측능과 기상인자와의 관계를 평가하기 위해, 서울시의 반포지역을 중심으로 약 14개월(1999. 6${\sim}$2000. 8) 동안 확보된 3대 기준성 오염물질(SO$_2$, NO$_2$, O$_3$)과 주변 환경변수와의 관계를 여러 가지 통계적 방식으로 분석하였다. 본 연구 결과에 의하면, DOAS의 계측능은 오염물질간 또는 기상인자간에서도 비교적 뚜렷한 경향성을 갖는 것이 확인되었다. 그리고 이러한 경향성은 계절과 같은 시간적 요인에 따라복잡하게 변화할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 SO$_2$나 NO$_2$,와 같은 항목의 경우, 여러 가지 요인의 차이에도 불구하고 계측능이 일정한 수준을 유지할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 반면 O$_3$의 경우, 기상조건의 변화에 상대적으로 민감한 변화를 보였다. 기상인자들간의 관계를 비교한 결과, 풍향, 풍속, 일사량과 같은 요인들이 성능에 민감한 영향력을 행사할 가능성이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로 두 기기간의 농도차이를 조절하는 요인들을 상관분석을 통해 비교한 결과, 풍속, 일사량, 기온 등의 요인이 증가할수록 계측기간의 농도차가 줄어들었다. 반대로 오염물질의 농도가 증가하는 방향으로 흐를 경우, 계측기간의 오차는 상대적으로 증폭되는 방향으로 변화하였다. 따라서 DOAS로부터 계측된 자료를 해석하기 위해서는 기상인자를 포함하는 주변 환경인자의 변화에 대한 해석을 동시에 수행하는 것이 중요할 것으로 사료된다.

Background: Relatively little is known with certainty about the status and role of p53 or MDM2 in predicting prognosis and survival of renal cell carcinoma. The present study aimed to determine the value of P53 and MDM2 over-expression, alone and simultaneously, to predict five-year survival of patients with kidney cancer in Iran. Materials and Methods: Patients with kidney cancer referred to Hasheminejad Kidney Center between 2007 and 2009, underwent radical nephrectomy and had pathology reports of clear cell, papillary or chromophobe renal cell carcinoma were included in our cohort study. Other histological types of renal cell carcinoma were not included. The patients with missed, incomplete or poor quality paraffin blocks were also excluded. Overall ninety one patients met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. To assess the histopathological features of the tumor, immunohistochemical (IHC) staining of formalin fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor samples were performed. The five-year survival was determined by the patients' medical files and telephone following-up. Results: In total, 1.1% of all samples were revealed to be positive for P53. Also, 20.8% of all samples were revealed to be positive for MDM2.The patients were all followed for 5 years. In this regard, 5-year mortality was 30.5% and thus 5-year survival was 85.3%. According to the Cox proportional hazard analysis, positive P53 marker was only predictor for patients' 5-year survival that the presence of positive p53 increased the risk for long-term mortality up to 2.8 times (HR=2.798, 95%CI: 1.176-6.660, P=0.020). However, the presence of MDM2 could not predict long-term mortality. In this regard, analysis by the ROC curve showed a limited role for predicting long-term survival by confirming P53 positivity (AUC=0.610, 95%CI: 0.471-.750, P=0.106). The best cutoff point for P53 to predict mortality was 0.5 yielding a low sensitivity (32.0%) but a high specificity (97.9%). In similar analysis, measurement of MDM2 positivity could not predict mortality (AUC=0.449, 95%CI: 0.316-.583, P=0.455). Conclusions: The simultaneous presence of both P53 and MDM2 markers in our population is a rare phenomenon and the presence of these markers may not predict long-term survival in patients who undergoing radical nephrectomy.

To evaluate the performance characteristics of CA 19-9 radioimmunoassay and the clinical significance of serum CA 19-9 assay in patients with malignancy, serum CA 19-9 levels were measured by radioimmunoassay using monoclonal antibody in 135 normal controls, 81 patients with various untreated malignancy, 9 patients of postoperative colon cancer without recurrence and 20 patients with benign gastrointestinal diseases, who visited Seoul National University Hospital from June, 1984 to March, 1985. The results were as follows; 1) The CA 19-9 radioimmunoassay was simple to perform and can be completed in one work day. And the between-assay reproducibility and the assay recovery were both excellent. 2) The mean serum CA 19-9 level in 135 normal controls was $8.4{\pm}4.2U/mL$. Normal upper limit of serum CA 19-9 was defined as 21.0 U/mL. 4 out of 135(3.0%) normal controls showed elevated CA 19-9 levels above the normal upper limit. 3) One out of 20(5.0%) patients with benign gastrointestinal diseases showed elevated serum CA 19-9 level above the normal upper limit. 4) In 81 patients with various' untreated malignancy, 41 patients(50.6%) showed elevated serum CA 19-9 levels. 66.7% of 18 patients with colorectal cancer, 100% of 2 patients with pancreatic cancer, 100% of 3 patients with common bile duct cancer, 47.1% of 17 patients with stomach cancer, 28.6% of 28 patients with hepatoma and 60.0% of 5 other gastrointestinal tract cancers showed elevated serum CA 19-9 levels. 5) The sensitivities of serum CA 19-9 related to resectability in colorectal and stomach cancer were 33.3% in resectable colorectal cancer, 83.3% in unresectable colorectal cancer, 41.7% in resectable stomach cancer, 60.0% in unresectable stomach cancer respectively. 6) The sensitivity of serum CA 19-9 in 9 patients of postoperative colorectal cancer without recurrence were 33.3% and significantly decreased compared with that of untreated colorectal cancer, 66.7% (p<0.05). 7) In patients with colorectal cancer, simultaneous measurement of serum CA 19-9 and serum CEA levels increased sensitivities. From above results, we concluded that serum CA 19-9 radioimmunoassay is simple to perform and reproducible, and is a useful indicator reflecting tumor extent and responses to the treatment in patients with malignancy.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the obesity and state of dietary intake of 216 young Korean females, and the influence of $\beta$-II, III Adrenergic receptor (AR) gene polymorphism upon obesity and dietary intake. The average weight, height and BMI of the subjects were 160 cm, 54 kg, and 20.9 kg/$m^2$, respectively. The average triceps skinfold thickness, waist circumference, hip circumference and WHR were 21.7mm, 73.1cm, 93.3cm and 0.78, respectively. The results of body composition measurement using bioimpedance method, average body fluid, body protein, mineral mass and body fat were 29.271, 7.22 kg, 6.79 kg and 19.16 kg, respectively. A dietary survey was conducted using 24-hour recall method. Average calorie intake was 1621 ㎉, which is 81% of Korean RDA. We detected 182 (84.3%) Gln27 (QQ) homozygotes and 34 (15.7%) Gln27Glu (QE) heterozygotes for $\beta$-II AR polymorphism. For $\beta$-III AR polymorphism, we detected 163 (75.5%) Trp64 (WW) and 53 (24.5%) Trp 64Arg (WR). The results of comparing of obesity by $\beta$-II AR gene polymorphism, obesity index and BMI of QE type were slightly higher than those of the QQ type. For $\beta$-III AR gene polymorphism, the mean BMI, obesity index, fat mass and percent body fat (%) of the WR type were significantly higher than those of the WW type (p < 0.05). These findings suggest that genetic variability in the human $\beta$-III AR is associated with obesity among young Korean females. We also evaluated the effect of the simultaneous presence of the $\beta$-II AR and $\beta$-III AR polymorphism on obesity. We found that the BMI and obesity index of the mutant type in both $\beta$-II AR and $\beta$-III AR were significantly higher than those of the type that has only one gene mutation or has no mutation (p < 0.05), indicating a synergistic effect of $\beta$-II AR and $\beta$-III AR polymorphism on obesity. No association was found between $\beta$-II Ad or $\beta$-III AR polymorphism and dietary intake.

1989년 2월에 일본의 우주과학연구소(ISAS: Institute of Space and Astronautical Science)에서 발사한 과학위성 EXOS-D의 전기장 측정기와 지자기 자오선 동경 190/210 선상에 위치하고 있는 17개의 지상자력계들로부터 1994년 11월 09일 18시 50분부터 약 20분에 걸쳐 Pi 2 파동이 검출되었다. 우리가 이용한 지상자력계는 지자기 경도는 동경 185.02에서 동경 269.36사이, 지자기 위도는 -37.09에서 65.67사이에, L값은 1.00에서 5.89사이에 위치하고 있다. 또한 같은 시각에 또 다른 위성 ETS-VI의 자기장 측정기의 자료와 지상의 Kakioka(지자기 동경 208.00, 지자기 위도 26.70), Hermanus(지자기 동경 82.97, 지자기 위도 -33.78) 지상자력계의 자료도 함께 사용하여 비교하여 보았다. Pi 2 파동의 주파수를 알아내기 위하여 FFT를 이용하였으며, L값이 2.35인 EXOS-D 위성과 지상자력계들에서는 주파수가 약 25mHz에서 최대 값을 보였으나, L값이 6.60인 ETS-VI위성에서는 같은 주파수가 검출되지 않았다. 또한 지상자력계 중에서 MUT 지상자력계의 자료를 기준으로 하여 위성들과 나머지 지상자력계들간의 상관관계, 위상 차를 조사하여, 발견된 Pi 2 파 동 현상이 플라즈마구 내에서 형성된 공동(cavity) mode에 의한 현상임을 알 수 있었다.

An automated analysis system for water soluble constituents in $PM_{2.5}$ has been developed. The system consists of a high capacity multi tube diffusion scrubber (MTDS), a low temperature particle impactor (LTPI), and two ion (anion and cation) chromatography (IC) systems. Atmospheric particles have been collected by passing sample air through a thermostated MTDS followed by a LTPI. This system allows simultaneous measurements of soluble ions in $PM_{2.5}$ at 30 minutes interval. At the air sampling flow rate of 1.0L/min, the detection limits of the overall system are in the order of tens of $ng/m^3$. This system has been successfully used for the measurement of particulate components of Seoul air from April 2003 to January 2004. $SO_4^{2-},\;NO_3^-,\;NH_4^+,\;NO_2^-,\;Cl^-,\;Na^+,\;K^+,\;Ca^{2+},\;and\;Mg^{2+}$ are the major ionic species for $PM_{2.5}$ at Seoul. Among them, $SO_4^{2-},\;NO_3^-\;and\;NH_4^+$ are the most abundant ions, contributed up to $86\%$ of the total and the concentrations were higher than those in any other urban sites in the world except for Chinese cities. There are high pollutant episodes which contribute about $15\~20\%$ of annual average values of the major ions. During the episode, the all parcels were transported from the asian continent and $PM_{2.5}$ were significantly neutralized. This suggests that aged and long range transported pollutants caused the high pollutant episodes. They showed a distinct daily and seasonal variations:they showed a peak in the early morning caused by the night-time accumulation of particulate matters. Atmospheric reactions including gas-to-particle reactions and inter-particle reactions and meteorological parameters including relative humidity and ambient temperature were described with related to the $PM_{2.5}$ 5 concentrations. All of the ionic species showed higher concentrations during the spring than those for summer and winter.

This study was conducted to estimate the relative performance of modules with changed characteristics due to long term exposure to the outdoor environment, with a specially made test device for simultaneous measurement of real time power output from the photovoltaic array, taking into account the inclined panel, direct irradiation, power being generated, temperature as well as the optimal analysis timing. In terminology description, M is an abbreviation of module and Group A, Group B are 10 modules series connection (1~10 of M), (11~20 of M) for each of them respectively. The overall mean voltage difference of M-18 with the lowest power output and M-14 with the highest output is-2.13V and it was identifiable that voltage difference was more concentrated to Group B. In addition, in case of M-2 and M-7, M-8, when compared with M-14, the overall mean voltage difference was -0.92V, -1.56 and -0.91V respectively showing the more concentration to Group A. When the temperature of module went up by $1^{\circ}C$, the mean voltage was reduced by 0.35V. For current, Group A was lower than Group B by-0.022A and the ratio of each group was 49.68% and 50.32% respectively, presumably the module with deteriorated properties were more concentrated to Group A relatively. From the comparison of relations with the comprehensive accumulation, M-2, M-7, M-8, M-16 and M-18 were those with deterioration of performance to the worst, thereby requiring precision examination. In comparative efficiency, M-14 was the most excellent one as 12.19% while M-18 as 10.53% was identified that its efficiency was comparatively rapidly reduced.
