This study presents a rapid and quantitative radiochemical separation method for Nb isotopes in radioactive waste samples from the nuclear power plant with anion exchange resin after Fe coprecipitation. After radionuclides were leached from the radioactive waste samples with concentrated HCl and HNO3, the Nb isotopes were coprecipitated with Fe after filtering the leaching solution with 0.45 micron HA filter, while the Sr, Tc and Ni isotopes were in the solution. The Nb isotopes were separated in HCl medium with anion exchange resin. The purified Nb isotopes were measured using a low level liquid scintillation counter after installing quenching curve with standard Nb-94 isotopes. The separation method for Nb isotopes investigated in this study was applied to neutron dosimeter samples from the nuclear power plant after validating the Nb activity concentration with gamma spectrometry system.

This study presents a rapid and quantitative sequential separation method for H-3 and C-14 isotopes with distillation apparatus in environmental samples released from nuclear facilities. After adding 200 mg of granulated potassium permanganate and 500 mg of sodium hydroxide in 100 mL of sample solution, the sample solution was heated until approximately 10 mL of distillate, and the distillate fraction was removed. The sample solution was heated again until a minimum 10 mL of additional distillate was collected. 10 mL of distillate was transferred to the LSC vail and the measurement sample for H-3 was made by adding 10 mL of Ultima Gold LLT to the LSC vial. After adding 2.5 g of potassium persulfate, 2 mL of 1M silver nitrate and 15 mL of concentrated nitric acid to the remained sample solution, the sample solution was heated for 90 minutes and C-14 isotopes were adsorbed into 10 mL of Carbo-Sorb solution in glass vial. The measurement sample for C-14 was made by adding 10 mL of Permafluor to the C-14 fraction in glass vial. The purified H-3 and C-14 samples were measured by the liquid scintillation counter after quenching correction. The average recoveries of H-3 and C-14 with CRM were measured to be 96% and 85%, respectively. The sequential separation method for H-3 and C-14 investigated in this study was applied to activated charcoal filter produced from nuclear power plants after validating the reliability by result of proficiency test (KOLAS-KRISS, PT-2021-51).

Background : We are Corporation of Reborn International that studies herbal medicine (Hydroponics Peanut sprout) and natural substance hydroponics. Our work is hydroponically grown peanut sprouts. This introduce, mouse allergic efficacy test and peanut tissue culture were performed. Methods and Results : The peanut sprouts have been widely used for long time of years in many Asian countries. P. sprouts germinated from peanuts, which contain 4 times higher resveratrol compounds than peanuts. The resveratrol have bioactivity effects as anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer. Especially, Our virgin premium peanut sprouts oil (cold pressure; low temperature extraction), natural substance oil produced mainly in peanut sprouts are used for valuable foods and cosmetic that supply essential fatty acids for humans as well as industrial raw functional materials production. In this work, large scale-up production of peanut sprout using hydroponics. Using extracts of peanut sprouts, various efficacy screening, animal test (in vivo, in vitro), and analyzes were also performed. Also, the culturing the peanut callus for increasing the contents of a specific useful ingredient were cultured in modified Murashige-Skoog/MS (sucrose 2%, agar 0.8%, pH 5.7) solid and liquid medium. It was examined that 0, 1, 3, 5, 10 ㎎/ℓ of NAA and 0, 1, 3, 5, 10 ㎎/ℓ of IBA were the callus and shoot induction. It's, developed sample model of food products of various formulations or form of including from peanut sprout extracts. Conclusion : The essential amino acids (composition unsaturated fatty acid) and resveratrol were abound to the extracts. Also, The blood circulation and allergy improvement effect was excellent. And toxicity were not detected in efficacy. Tissue culture screening work, It’s examined that〈 1.0 ㎎/ℓ of NAA and〈 3.0 ㎎/ℓ of IBA were the best composition. However, depending on the purpose of securing the functional material, a more detailed investigation is needed. So, future work is induce roots callus and shoot. The shown results can be applied as sources for functional food, cosmetic, pharmaceuticals, and material.

We evaluated the efficacy and safety of plasmakinetic transurethral enucleation and resection (TUERP) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) more than 80g. From January 2011 to December 2013, 37 patients with BPH larger than 80 g who underwent plasmakinetic TUERP were retrospectively assessed. The postoperative outcomes such as operative time, resected adenoma weight, resection rate, catheterization time, postoperative hospital stay and complications were reviewed. Patients were followed up at 1, 3, 6 months postoperatively. The mean prostate volume was 108.7 ± 21.7 g (range, 80 to 200 g), The mean resection chip weight was 53.5 ± 15.7 g (range, 29 to 101 g), The mean resection ratio was 82.0 ± 12.9%. Catheterization time and hospital stay was 2.4 ± 1.6 days and 3.4 ± 1.6 days respectively. Perioperative loss of hemoglobin and serum sodium was 1.5 ± 0.8 g/dL and 2.3 ±2.0 mmol/L respectively. International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), quality of life (QOL) score, maximum flow rate (Qmax), post void residual urine volume (PVR) were significantly improved at all followup intervals compared with baseline. No major complication including TUR syndrome was developed. Plasmakinetic TUERP is considered a safe, effective and technically feasible procedure for the large volume BPH more than 80 g at shortterm followup.

Urinary extravasation with dye visualized in the ureter was seen on an excretory urogram (IVP) and computerized tomographic (CT) scan in a patient with multiple injuries following blunt renal trauma. The preferred treatment of blunt kidney injury varies according to grade of severity, with a preference for non-operative management in most instances. We reviewed a case of nonoperatively treated patients who presented with blunt renal trauma with major lacerations and urinary extravasation on initial staging computerized tomography.

Recently, renal traumas caused by traffic and industrial accidents have risen sharply due to rapid industrialization and an increase in automobiles. The evaluation of patients with suspected renal trauma relies mainly on clinical assessment, urinalysis and imaging studies. We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 76 patients who presented to our hospital with renal trauma between January 2008 and December 2014. According to the review, A total of 76 patients presented to our hospital with suspected renal trauma. There were 61 male and 15 female between 2 and 83 years old. By cause, traffic accident was the most common cause of injury, accounting for 39 cases. The remaining injuries were caused by falls in 26 cases, assault in 8 cases and sports-related trauma in 3 cases. Surgical exploration was required in 18 patients for renal or associated injuries. We are of the opinion that close and prompt cooperation with other associated medical departments is mandatory in order to reduce morbidity and mortality caused by multiple injury. Accurate renal injury staging was essential to successful management of traumatized patients.

A new vegetable soybean variety, “Danmiput” was selected from the cross Keunol/Wasehakucho (Introduced), and developed in 2002 on the basis of its yield performance and seed quality for vegetable soybean at the National Yeongnam Agricultural Station. “Dan
