For the application of nano-sized material in various fields, the evaluation of nano-sized material toxicity is important. In the present study, various concentrations of 200 nm-sized silicon dioxide nanoparticle suspension were intraperitonially injected into mice to identify the toxicity of silicon dioxide nanoparticle in vivo. In the hematological analysis of group II treated with silicon dioxide nanoparticle 100 mg/kg body weight, lymphocytes and monocytes were significantly different compared to the control group. In group III treated with silicon dioxide nanoparticle 200 mg/kg body weight, lymphocytes, monocytes and hemoglobin were significantly different compared to the control group. In blood biochemical analysis of group III, the concentration of AST, ALT, BUN, and creatinine were significantly different compared to the control group. Histopathologic examination of the kidney indicated a mild injury only in mice received 200 mg/kg silicon dioxide nanoparticle. According to the results of the present study, the significant differences in the hematological and blood biochemical analyses and abnormal histopathological findings in the mouse kidney may have been related to exposure to silicon dioxide nanoparticle.

해양구조물 수중부의 해양생물 부착을 방지하는 효과적인 방법으로 방오도료를 사용하고 있다. 트리부틸틴(Tributyltin, TBT) 화합물은 우수한 방오성능을 가져 지금까지 광범위하게 사용해 되어 왔으나, 유해물질 사용금지에 따라 새로운 기술을 적용한 방오도료 개발이 진행되고 있다. 신규 방오도료는 낮은 독성을 가지면서도 우수한 방오성능을 가져야 한다. 본 논문에서는 상용 TBT-free 방오도료 3종(아산화동 함유 자기마모형 도료(Cu SPC AF), 아산화동을 함유하지 않는 자기마모형 도료(Cu-Free SPC AF), Foul-release 실리콘 도료(Foul release AF)의 용출수가 가지는 환경영향성을 조피볼락과 알테미아를 사용하여 평가하였다. 용출수에 대한 급성독성을 조사한 결과 방오도료 용출수의 농도와 생물종의 생존율은 반비례하는 경향을 나타내었으며, 자가마모형 도료가 Foul-release 실리콘 도료보다 상대적으로 높은 급성독성을 가지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 혈당강하 소재로서 가능성이 확인된 GFPC와 잎새버섯 및 흰목이 추출 혼합물의 안전성을 평가하기 위하여 수행되었었다. 마우스에 대한 급성경구독성을 평가하기 위해 체중 kg 당 최고 5g의 각 시험물질을 마우스 위에 직접 투여하여 48시간 동안 관찰 한 결과 모든 실험군에서 사망예가 관찰되지 않아 LD50 은 5g/kg B.W. 이상으로 계산되었으며, 임상 증상이나 체중에서도 유의할만한 소견이 관찰되지 않았다. 따라서 본 실험의 GFPC와 잎새버섯 및 흰목이 추출 혼합물은 마우스에 있어서 단기 급성 경구독성이나 부작용을 유발하지 않는 안전한 식품소재로 평가되었다. 결론적으로 GFPC와 잎새버섯 및 흰목이 추출 혼합물은 급성 독성이나 부작용을 유발하지 않아 임상사용의 가능성을 제시하여 주었다.

이산화탄소(CO2) 해양격리처리 방안의 실효성을 검토하기 위해서는 해양에 처리된 CO2가 해양생태계 및 해양생물에 미칠 수 있는 영향에 대해서 광범위하게 정보를 축적할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 두족류인 참문어 Octopus vulgaris를 대상으로 고농도 CO2 환경(1, 2, 3%-CO2)에서의 폐사율 및 1%-CO2 환경에서의 생리학적 반응에 대해서 조사하였다. 참문어는 혈액채취를 위하여 복부대동맥에 케뉴레이션을 행한 후 호흡실에서 회복시켰다. 회복된 개체에 대하여 헤모림프의 산염기 조절인자에 대한 측정을 행하였다. 참문어는 3%-CO2 환경에서 72시간 안에 100% 폐사하였다. 헤모림프의 pH는 1%-CO2 노출 30분 후 유의하게 감소하였으나 실험종료 때까지 회복되지 않았으며, [HCO3-]는 CO2 노출 후 유의하게 증가하여 8시간에 7.8 mM를 나타내었으나 그 후 점차 감소하는 경향이었다. 헤모림프 이온([Cl-], [Na+], [K+])들은 유의한 변화를 보이지 않았다. 본 연구 결과 참문어는 방어, 넙치와 같은 경골어류 및 별상어와 같은 판새류보다 CO2에 민감한 것으로 사료된다.

Guh Sung Y.L.S.-95 is one of the polyacidic solution of which main component is acetic acid. We investigated the subchronic toxicity of the Guh Sung Y.L.S.-95 using SPF ICR mouse for 4 weeks. The Guh Sung Y.L.S.-95 was administered by gastric intubation, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0 g/kg body weight. The results are as follows: 1. There are no adverse effects on the clinical obserbation and body weight changes. Also, there are some significant changes in organ weight, but it was meaningless because of the absence of dose-response relationships. 2. In the hematological patterns of administered mouse, there are no significant changes between the treated groups. Also, there are no serological enzymatic changes in the treated mouse. In the 1.0 g/kg treated group, ASP activity was increased significnatly compared with control group. But, this level of activity was fall under the normal physiological range of control mouse. 3. Histopathological findings of the brain, liver, heart, spleen, kidneys, stomach, lung, testis, ovary, uterus and thymus were not observed in the treated mouse. From the above results, the Guh Sung Y.L.S.-95 has no toxicity upto the 5.0 g/kg/day of oral dose for 4 weeks.

It has been reported that G009, polysaccharide isolated from Ganoderma lucidum IY009 has various pharmacological effects, such as antiinflamatory, antiviral, anticarcinogenic and immunomodulation effects. The purpose of this study was to determine the subacute toxicity of orally administered 6009 in Sprague-Dawley rats. Groups of 40 male and 40 female rats were gavaged with 0, 500, 1,000 or 2,000 mg/kg/day for 30 days. No drug-related deaths and clinical morbidities were resulted. There was no drug-related effect on the body weight gain, food consumption and water consumption. Statistically significant changes were observed in several hematological and biochemical parameters of G009-treated groups; however, most of these changes were within normal range and had no relationship to dosage. Urinalysis and bone marrow biopsy showed no remarkable changes in all treated groups. Gross necropsy and histopathology revealed no evidence of specific toxicity related to G009. Our data indicate that no-observed effect level of G009 is estimated to be above 2,000 mg/kg/day in rats.
