The survey on the sanitary conditions to the water supply facilities, privy facilities and disposal methods of human excreta in Sindong area of Choonseung-gun, Kangwon Province was carried out during 7 months from May to November, 1976. The results of the survey are as follows. 1) The pump-wells are used in the 1,185 households as 66.7% of 1,775 and are almost private. 2) The materials of drainage floors and drainage are almost cement, and the drainages are good condition. 3) Most parts of dug-wells have been used beyond 9 years after installation, and disinfection of water has not been carried out in the case of 68.1% of total wells. 4) Objectives of water use to the number of households as 60.2% are drinking, kitchen and cleaning. 5) Water consumption per capita day is estimated to be about 22.7% litters. 6) 1,521 households as 85.7% of total 1,775 possess their private privies and the numbers as 80.6% of the private privies are located outside the houses. 7) The privies are needed to be improved much more in the view point of excreting to the ashpile instead of the septic tank in the case of 39.2% of total households. 8) Human excreta as manure are used to the field in the number of households as 82.4 of total 1,316.

A study was carried out to detect of illegal artificial dyes and to confirm the used rate of illegal dyes in the production process of commercial jellys by thindayer chromatography and paper chromatography, from March, 1976 to July, 1976. The following conclusions were obtained 1. Seperated dyes were amaranth, erythrosin, tatrazin, sunset yellow FCF, fight green SF yellowish, fast green FCF and the most frequent use of amaranth. 2. Used rate of legal dyes were 94.12% (96 samples) and illegal dyes were 5.88% (6 samples) with samples 102. 3. The average Rf value of T.L.C. were amaranth (0.92), erythrosin (0.48), tatrazin (0.83), sunset yellow FCF(0.86), fast green FCF (0.63), light green SF yellowish (0.23) and paper chromatography were amaranth (0.76), erythrosin (0.44), tatrazin(0.75), sunset yellow FCF (0.76), fast green FCF (0.86), light green SF yellowish(0.52).

In an attempt to evaluate working conditions and hazardous environmental factors, a survey on health problems was conducted for 721 employees from 18 industrial plants in Young Dung Po and Sung Dong districts of Seoul in the period from May 1975 to Feb, 1976. The questionnaire and survey was inclusive of all illnesses known as most common to industrial workers (according to the report by Korea Industrial Health Association) of this country and envi ronmental factors pointed out by the workers. The results were as following. 1. The over whelming majority of complaints were psychiatric, ear,eye, and digestive disorders. 2. Those whose work time is the longest have a propotionately higer incidence of complaints especially in eye,ear, neuromusculoskeletal, and neurosensory systems. 3. In females whose occupational history is relatively short, a higher incidence of digestive and skin section disorders was noted and this is especially true among those working in night shift. 4. Among machinery industry workers, most complaints were of eye, ear, and neuro musculoskeletal disturbances, and this fact seems to be closely related to physical over works. 5. Dust and noise were pointed out by the largest number of workers as undisirable conditions in work environment. 6. Distribution of complaints are closely related to the type of industry, and in comparison with the result reported by Korea Industrial Health Association in 1972, the prevalence rates of occupational disorder were similar in our study,

Transaminase has been a popular methods in the clinical laboratory for the diagnosis of particular diseases. The methods we are familiar with should be considered further on the serum states provided on the test to be done. (serum freshness, temperature and duration preserved) I have studied transaminase activities of the serum preserved under frozen (-10$\circ$C), refrigerated (4$\circ$C) and room temperature conditions. At a given interval those activities of serum are measured and then the results are compared with the optical density and calculated for the standard deviation and percent variation (Table 1. & Fig. 1.) G.O.T. activity is maintained decreased at a relatively constant rate from 2nd day to 14th day preservation under frozen and refrigerated but its activity variation at 25$\circ$C are far greater than the above conditions throughout the test periods. Elevated G.P.T. level of serum compared with G.O.T. are remained at any temperature and duration. Unless the determination of amino acid level study can not ruled out clearly.

A bacteriological research of the school desks, bags and indoor-shoes was made from Oct. 2, 197 through May 28, 1976. The research included one girl's middle school, two boy's middle schools, two boy's high schools and 15 girl's high schools, alltogether 244 students from 28 schools, The research was analyzed and the results are as follows: 1) The research showed that 95% of the indoor-shoes materials were of cloth. Only 13% of the students carried the indoor-shoes in shoes sacks and 84.8% of them kept the shoes in schoolbags with books and lunchbox. 2) Only 5% of them cleaned their shoes every week and 79% cleaned every six. 3) 49.3% of the students kept the indoor-shoes in the school bag with other contents at home. 4) 88% of the bag was made of vinyl and 24.8% of the students carried their lunch in their bag without lunch box. 5) The research showed that 79.1% of the students never cleaned their bags. 6) In using the desk drawer, 58.2% of the students put their out-door shoes into the drawer, 18.9% of them kept their lunch in it, 11.9% used it keeping books alone and 11% keeping school bags with books. 7) 30.4% of the students had an experience of having cleaned their desks and 69.6% were unconcerned wirh desk-cleaning. 8) 34.4% of the indoor-shoes using school showed fecal coliform positive, 40.2% showed non-fecal coliform positive and 25.4% showed no reaction to IMViC. 9) The 34.4% of the fecal coliform positive showing schools, equivalant to 77 students, was composed of zero percents of girl's middle school, 18.2% of girl's high school, 36.4% of boy's middle school and 45.4% of boy's high school. 10) Among the 77 students, whose shoes showed fecal coliform positive, only 6.5% of them cleaned their shoes once in a week or a month and 62.3% of them cleaned them once in a six month. 11) The fccal coliform positive rate was higher in the cloth shoes materials than the vinyl materials. 12) The concrete-bottomed building higher positive rate (40.2%) than the wood-bottomed building (7.5%). 13) Even among the student's who frequently cleaned their desk drawer, 2.3% were in the positive, and among those who were unconcerned with drawer cleaning, 48.9% were involved in the positive. 14) In the fecal coliform positive rate of bags, 38.5% of the positive rate belonged to using indoor shoes while cleaning their class bottom with water, 53.8% belonged to using outdoor shoes while cleaning their class bottom with water, 7.7% belonged to using outdoor shoes while cleaning their class with oil.

In the examination of leucocyte peroxidase reaction, almost methods were used by benzidine, but it was becoming clear carcinogen. In this study was carried out by comparative Osgood and Asworth method with modified Kaplow method by use of 3-amino-9-ethyl carbasol, In the result, Osgood and Asworth method and new modified Kaplow method in the periperal blood cells (r=0.957) and bone marrow cells (r=0.972) were high correlation.

녹용이 동물체에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위한 일환으로 녹용 침출액을 집토끼에 주사한 후 여기에서 여섯개의 조직(골격근, 간, 신장, 부신, 비장, 심장근)을 선택 적출하여 disc-gel electrophoresis로 수용성 단백 분획상을 비교 하여 보았다. 대조군과 5일간 주사한 군에서 간, 신장, 부신, 비장에서는 서로 동일한 영동분획상이 나타났으나 골격근과 심장근에서는 대조군보다 실험군(5일간과 15일간 녹용침출액을 주사한 군)의 영동대에서 하나의 영동대가 더 나타났다. 한편 15일간 주사한 실험군과 5일간 주사한 실험군 사이에서는 단백분 획상의 차이점이 없음을 알았다. 이와 같은 변화는 녹용의 어떤 특수성분이 주로 근육형 조직에서만 백질을 합성하는 기작에 영향을 끼친 것이 아닌가 사려된다.

Excreta are utilized on the vegetable farm by 38.2% households, on the vegetable and barley farms by 19.7% and on the paddy fields by 8.2%.

This report is intended to describe as brief as possible the result of study on purity of the Korean Bee Honey. Purity of bee honey was measured by scaling the enzyme activities of two different honey groups: such as, the standard group and control group each including the samples of honey originated from the resource of acarcia, chestnut or miscellaneous origin. The samples of honey were collected from different sources: to wit, honey belonging to the standard group were collected from the township of Seoboo, Yangju county, Kyunggido province, Korea, while honey belonging to the control group were collected from the street side shops, market or the companies producing the secondary food from honey. The results of this study were summarized as follow: 1. It was found that honey belonging to the standard group contained less moisture than those belonging to the control group. Republic of Korea Ministry of Health and Social Affairs Food Control Regulation stipulates that honey must contain moisture less than 20%. The samples of' both groups contained moisture more than 20%, although honey belonging to the control group were relatively more so than honey belonging to the standard group. 2. Honey belonging to the standard group were found stronger in sugar reduction activities than those belonging to the control group. It was also noted that honey of acracia origin was strongest in reduction activities of the three different origin in the same group. 3. $\alpha$-Amylase and $\beta$-amylase were discovered to have activated more strongly in honey belonging to the standard group than those belonging to the control group. The enzyme activitie, varied depending on the origin of plant where honey comes from. For instance, honey of miscellaneous origin indicated the strongest activities in $\alpha$-amylase while honey of chestnut origirt indicated strongest in $\beta$-amylase.
