진단할 수 있는 검정 키트를 개발하기 위하여 소나무류에서 휘발되는 18 종류 휘발물질의 소나무재선충에 대한 유인력을 실험하였다. 실험 물질 중에 서 α-pinene, β-pinene 및 camphor가 하루 동안 절식시킨 증식형 소나무재선충 에 대해 유인효과가 있었으나, 절식하지 않은 증식형 소나무재선충에 대해서 는 유인효과가 없었다. 그러나 분산형 유충에 대해서는 절식여부와 관계없이 세 물질의 유인력이 높았다. 이들 세 물질로써 소나무재선충 감염 검정 키트 를 만들어 인공 용실과 감염목에서 소나무재선충에 대한 유인력을 실험하였 다. 인공 용실에서 실험한 결과 휘발성 물질 처리 24시간 후 보다는 48시간 후의 유인력이 더 좋았고, 담체로서는 filter paper보다 cotton ball이 유인 효과 가 더 좋았다. 소나무재선충에 감염되어 고사한 소나무에 휘발성물질을 처리 하여 유인력을 실험한 결과 8시간 후부터 소나무재선충이 유인 되었으며, camphor의 유인력이 가장 좋았다.

This study was performed to investigate the effects of aluminum sulfate administration on the brain tissues of old rats, when given at different concentrations. The experiment attempted to further ascertain whether aluminum exposure cause Alzheimer's disease. Seventy-five aged Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into five groups; a control group, 2 ppm aluminum sulfate group, 20 ppm aluminum sulfate group, 40 ppm aluminum sulfate group, and 200 ppm aluminum sulfate group, and were kept on the respective diets for 12 weeks. In order to understand the influence of aluminum on the brain, serum aluminum concentrations, phospholipid composition, and catecholamine concentrations were compared between the aluminum-treated groups and the normal group. According to the results, serum aluminum was higher in the aluminum sulfate-treated groups than in the normal group. Within the cortex, catecholamine concentrationes were significantly increased but cerebellum and brainstem tissue were significantly decreased, in the aluminum sulfate-treated groups compared to the normal group. For phospholipid composition, phosphatidyl inositol was significantly increased wherase phosphatidyl choline, phosphatidyl ethanolamine, and phosphatidyl serine were significantly decreased in the aluminum sulfate-treated groups versus the normal group. Based on the data, increased aluminum consumption in experimental animals causes increased serum aluminum levels and catecholamine variation. These phenomena are very similar to conditions of Alzherimer's disease. Therfore, the results of this experiment further suggest that aluminum cause Alzherimer's disease, coinciding with reports that aluminum is a cause of neurofibrilly tangles in the brain.

Artemisia scoparia (A. scoparia), perennial herb is indigenous to Korea and has been traditionally used in liver damage. We investigated the effect of the essential oil obtained from A. scoparia on apoptosis of KB cells. Cytotoxicity and cellular DNA content were analyzed by MTT assay and flow cytometry, agarose gel electrophoresis, and Hoechst 33258 staining. The caspase-3 and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) proteins were estimated by Western blotting method. We found that the essential oil induced the apoptosis of the KB cells by concentrations of 0.4 to 0.2 mg/ml which was verified by DNA fragmentation, apoptotic bodies, and the sub-G0/G1 ratio. The essential oil also transient caspase-9 and caspase-3 activity and cleavage of PARP in KB cells for 24 h. The essential oil-induced apoptotic cell death was accompanied by up-regulation of Bax and down-regulation of Bcl-2. In conclusion, we demonstrated that the essential oil of A. scoparia induces apoptosis in KB cells

To search a new pig pheromonal odorant, the N1-allyl-N2-(tetrahydrofuran-2-ylmethyl)oxalamide molecule predicted by ligand based approach and molecular docking method was synthesized by nucleophilic addition-elimination reaction (AdNU-E) between N-allyloxalamic acid ethylester and tetrahydrofurylmethylamine. According to the evaluation results for efficiency of pig estrus control, the synthesized pig pheromonal N1-allyl-N2-(tetrahydrofuran-2- ylmethyl)oxalamide molecule advanced the estrus by 11.3 days (p<0.05) compared with the non-pheromone group. And from these results, it is predicted that the synthesized pig pheromonal compound will be able to increase the reproduction efficiency of pig.

Demineralized Freeze Dried Bone(DFDB) graft material have been used for reconstruction of large bony defects or augmentation of thin alveolar ridge during implantation of titanium fixtures. But at present osteogenic effect of DFDB do not overcome the capacity of autogenic bone graft. Thus many investigators had applicated various bioactive substance to DFDB to enhance the ability of osteogenesis of DFDB. In this study, mixture of grafting material was made from fibrin glue(F) and DFDB(D)(group 1: F+D), fibrin glue, DFDB and rhBMP-2(B) (group 2: F+D+B), fibrin glue, DFDB, polylactic- co-glycolic acid(PLGA)(P) and rhBMP-2(goup 3: F+D+B+P), fibrin glue, DFDB, PLGA, rhBMP-2 and autogenic osteoblasts( O)(group 4: F+D+B+P+O), and fibrin glue, DFDB, autogenic osteoblasts (group 5: F+D+O). During first surgical procedure, extraction of molar teeth was performed at male Biggle dog's mandible, and collected bone marrow tissue from tibia at same Biggle dog. Collected bone marrow tissue was cultured and differentiated into osteoblasts in vitro, and stored in nitrogen bottle. After four months, titanium fixture was implanted with prepared graft material to Biggle dog's mandible. After four and eight weeks respectively, experimental dog was sacrificed. Obtained tissues were prepared for examination by using resin embedded ground section method. Prepared sections were evaluated with transmitted and polarized microscope, and areas of osteoid and cacified bone were calculated with IPTK 5.0( image processing tool kit version 5.0). Resultant data was statistically analyzed by SPSS 13.0 software. Results of this study showed that autogenic osteoblats had more enhancing capacity of bone formation than rhBMP-2, but PLGA inhibited bone forming potential of bony tissue.

In this work, pellet type sorbents were prepared to control the low level indoor carbon dioxide with various physical compositions. In order to enhance the adsorption capacity, a few additives including alkali hydroxides were added to a commercial zeolitic sorbent by impregnation of alkali cation - Ca²⁺ through physical mixing and ion exchange. It was found that the binding materials such as dextrin or bentonite facilitating to form the granular sorbents would assist the adsorption capacity of sorbents. The ion exchange was more efficient for impregnation of alkalies, which showed better adsorption of gaseous CO₂.

To provide the research strategy for protection of children’s health from hazardous chemical, we reviewed the hazardous chemicals can be exposed through maternity, children's life style and living environment. Recently, diseases related with children’s living condition were focused as asthma, atopy, childhood developmental disability, congenital malformations and obesity. Children can be exposed to hazardous chemicals through an ambient air, water, soil, food, toys and other factors such as floor dust. Also children’s health was deeply related with a wrong life style and neglectful caring by a lack of knowledge and information of harmful ones at parents and child care center’s nursers. According to the previous study, the chemical risk factor of children’s health were identified as inorganic arsenic, bisphenol A, 2,4-D, dichlorvos, methylmercury, PCBs, pesticide, phthalates, PFOA/PFOS, vinyl chloride, et al. Domestic studies for identification of causality between children exposure to chemicals and resulted hazardous effects were not implemented. The confirmation of chemical risk factors through simultaneously performing toxicological analysis, human effect study, environmental/human monitoring, and risk assessment is needed for good risk management. And also, inter-agency collaboration and sharing information can support confirming scientific evidence and good decision making.
