The recycling of waste foundry sand(WFS) and fly ash as by-products of industry is one of the urgent problem to deal with. For the recycling of these materials, CLSM(controlled low strength materials) concept was adopted. This research has been done for last three years. In this research, couple of selected waste foundry sand and fly ash were used as fine aggregate. Also, WFS modified by Proper chemical liquid was used for the comparison. The main focus is to evaluate the silo earth pressure and the reduction effect due to the use of CLSM instead of normal fine aggregate. Silo effect, which occurs at short distance between retaining wall and backfill, was not detected because the characterization of CLSM is highly different from that of normal aggregate. Therefore, the theory for earth pressure, like Rankine theory or Coulomb theory, should be carefully used for CLSM. The reduction of earth pressure for modified WFS is higher than the others. But, the final earth pressure is converged at very small value, even though the reduction effect depends on the curing time.

This study was conducted to investigate the antitoxic component in aqueous extract of Houttuynia cordata $T_{HUNB}$. The results were as follows: Generally, detoxication effects by Houttuynia cordata $T_{HUNB}$ extract increased in proportion to the extract concentrations. When 40mg/kg dosage of Houttuynia cordata $T_{HUNB}$ extract was administered, it showed the highest antitoxic effects in metallothionein induction. After the extract treatment, body weights increased in proportion to the extract concentration. However, after 3 weeks, the body weight decreased insignificantly. From the above results, Houttuynia cordata $T_{HUNB}$ extract increased metallothionein concentration and decreased the toxicity of cadmium in rats.

The effects of calcium concentrations of coating bag treatment to reduce berry cracking were investigated through the changes of pericarp structure and berry cracking rate in 'Kyoho' grape. The soluble solids and anthocyanin contents in harvested grapes were highest at $18.1^{\circ}Brix$ and $2.56{\mu}g{\cdot}cm^{-2}$ in non bagging group compared with those of calcium coating bag treatments. The firmness of pericarp was lowest in non bagging group ($1.18kg{\cdot}5mm^{-1}{\O}$) compared with bagging treatments (1.23, 1.24, 1.27, $1.35kg{\cdot}5mm^{-1}{\O}$) which increased effectively in proportion to calcium concentration. As a result of histological observation of the fruit skin, the bagging with higher calcium concentration developed thicker epidermal and sub-epidermal layer of cell wall than that of non bagging. Moreover, the strengthened berry skin of calcium treatments effectively decreased berry cracking rate under critical turgor pressure. However, the 9% calcium coating bag treatment which was the most effective for cracking reduction seriously decreased marketability of harvested grape with white color staining on berry skin caused by eluted calcium from the coated paper bag. Based on our results, we recommend that 6% calcium coating bag be available for berry cracking reduction and higher quality production.

Antidoting effect of 1,8-naphthalic anhydride (NA) on butachlor [2-chloro-2', 6'-diethyl-N-(butoxyethyl) acetanilide] phytotoxicity in rice was determined at different seeding depths and application rates of butachlor. The most sensitive response to NA was found in mesocotyl of rice (Oryza saliva L.). The mesocotyl length decreased with use of NA when seeded 2 to 4 cm deep, whereas no effect was obtained in plant height, root length and coleoptile length. Phytotoxic effect of butachlor to rice sown in vermiculite saturated with butachlor solutions decreased with use of NA at all seeding depths employed. However, depth protection was not observed when planted 3 to 4 cm deep without use of NA. Use of NA resulted in reduction in the phytotoxicity at concentrations of butachlor lower than 40 ppmw. The results indicated that the antidoting effect of NA was not due to reduction of mesocotyl elongation which would result in decrease in butachlor uptake through the mesocotyl.

For reducing the residual effects of Quinclorac to followed-by crops of paddy rice, three tests by different soil improvers, different cultural performances with tillage and application of composts, and cultivation of different depletion crops were evaluated, respectively. Among seven soil improvers, activated carbon, composts and perlite showed significant promisable feasibility to reduce phytotoxicity of tomato seedlings as affected by Quinclorac residuals, And comparing to untreated check, the application of tillage and composts prior to transplanting of tomato seedling could helpful to reduce Quinclorac residuals in the soil, but tomato and lettuce, most susceptible crops to Quinclorac, were not remarkably protected by those cultural performances. Also among cultivation of depletion crops just after rice harvest, Italian ryegrass, tall fescue, rape and oats engaged to deplete and reduce Quinclorac residuals for tomato seedling growth, however alfalfa and hairy vetch, relatively susceptible plants to Quinclorac were not promisable.

This study aimed at identifying the effect of vapocoolant spray and EMLA (eutectic mixture of local anesthetics) cream upon DPT (diphtheria-pertussis-tetanus)vaccineassociated injection pain in infants. A nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design was used. The subjects were 49 infants, 19 of them for control group, 15 of them for vapocoolant group, and 15 infants for EMLA group. Pulse and oxygen saturation as pain indicators were measured before and after DPT vaccination. FLACC was also measured after vaccination. The data were collected between October 2009 and June 2010 and analyzed using SPSS WIN 20.0. EMLA group had significant a little changes in pulse (F=43.37, p <.001) and oxygen saturation (F=9.86, p=.003) compared to the control and vapocoolant group. But there was no difference in FLACC pain score among three groups. This results showed that EMLA cream is an effective agent for reducing DPT vaccination-associated pain. Therefore, EMLA cream can be used to reduce pain at public health centers and clinical settings.

The aim of the study is to describe the fate and transformation of nitrogen in grassland ecosystems. In the growing season from 1987 to 1993, 2 growing farmer in south Germany were studied the yield and nutrient balance of reduced input slurry application. The study includes 3 different slurry application levels. The levels are conventional slurry application, reduced slurry application, without slurry application. These levels are studied at 2 different experimental farms. The forage yield of zero slurry application plot has 14∼44% of the conventional slurry application, while the yield in the reduced slurry plot is only 0∼14% lower than that in the conventional slurry plot. The kalium and phosphorus contents of forage were tend to decrease with reduced slurry application N-uptake was increasing with the increase of slurry application level. The N-uptake of zero slurry plots was lower 40∼65% of the conventional plot, while in the reduced plot was only 6∼16% lower than in the conventional plot. The N-balance shows negative figures on all plots. The N-uptake in experiment site A was only a little bit more than the N-fertilizer plot, while in site experiment B the N-uptake is 2 to 3 times higher than the N-application amount of slurry.

We performed this study to determine the effect of green tea on jejunal crypt survival, endogenous spleen colony formation, and apoptosis in jejunal crypt cells of mice irradiated with high and low dose of gammairradiation. The radioprotective effect of green tea was compared with the effect of diethyldithiocarbamate (DDC). Jejunal crypts were protected by pretreatment of green tea (p<0.01). Green tea administration before irradiation resulted in an increase of the formation of endogenous spleen colony (p<0.05). The frequency of radiation-induced apoptosis in intestinal crypt cells was also reduced by pretreatment of green tea (p<0.05). The radioprotective effect on jejunal crypts and apoptosis in the DDC treated group appeared similar to those in the green tea treated groups. Treatment with DDC showed no significant modifying effects on the formation of endogenous spleen colony. These results indicated that green tea might be a useful radioprotector, especially since it is a relatively nontoxic natural product. Further studies are needed to characterize better the promotion nature of green tea and its components.

시설재배지의 토양화학성 변화는 작물재배 기간 시비한 화학비료에서 유래된 무기성분 뿐만아니라, 가축분퇴비의 질소성분의 토양잔류량이 요소비료 보다 9.4배 많아 염류집적 주 요인이라는 보고('05 경기도)가 시사하는 봐와 같이 유기자원으로 시용하는 가축분 등의 부산물비료의 무기화에서 유래된 비료성분이 토양염류집적 및 토양환경악화에 더 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 시설재배지의 유기물자원 시용기준이 토양의 특성에 관계 없이 작물에 따라 양적인 시험성적이 주로되어 있으며, 토양검정에 의한 시용기준도 유기물함량에 따라 볏짚, 우분, 돈분 및 계분으로 돠어 있다. 일반노지와 달리 시설재배지에서는 유기물함량이 토양의 비옥도 및 작물생육에 영향을 미치는 것 보다는 토양의 전기전도도(EC)가 더 중요한 작물생육 조건이 될 수 있다. 따라서 토양의 특성에 따라 물질순환에 의한 유기자원 시용기준으로 개선할 필요성이 있다. 시설재배지의 장기적인 토양관리를 위하여 유기물자원에 의한 토양환경 개선 효과를 구명하고자. 무처리, 가축분부산 물비료 관행 시용 기준 대비 볏짚 등 5개의 유기자원을 토양의 무기태질소 함량 대비 유기자원의 탄소함량을 C/N율 10 조절량을 시용하여 시험하였고, 또한 토양의 전기전도도(EC)가 상이한 3개( <2.0 dS/m, 2.0~6.0 dS/m, 6.0 dS/m<)토양에 유기물자원(우드칩)을 C/N율 10, 20, 30 조절하여 수박을 시험작물로 비닐하우스에서 재배하여 수행하였다. 시험 후 토양의 전기전도도(EC)는 시험 전에 비하여 시험 후 토양에서 가축분부산물비료는7% 증가되었으나 유기물자원 처리는 26~33% 경감되는 효과가 있었다. 수박의 과중은 무처리를 제외하고 처리간에 차이가 없었다. 유기물자원 C/N율 조절간에는 시험전 토양의 EC에 따라 차이가 있어 C/N 10 조절에서는 26~44%, C/N 20 조절에서는 30~51%, C/N 30 조절에서는 27~48% 경감효과가 있었으며, 3토양의 평균 토양EC 경감율은 C/N 10, 20, 30 조절에서 각각 34, 39 및 38 % 이었다. 수박의 생육 및 과중은 토양의 C/N율 조절간에는 차이가 없었으나, 토양의 EC 간에는 토양의 EC가 6.0dS/m 이상 토양에서 가장 낮았다. 따라서 탄소원의 유기자원을 C/N율 조절에 의한 시용기준 개선으로 토양의 무기태질소와 토양의 전기전도도(EC)를 경감시켜 친환경적 토양관리와 수박의 수량과 품질을 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 평가되었다.

배 경 : 쥐를 고농도의 산소에 60시간 이상 노출시켰을 때 급성 폐손상이 유발되지만 내독소를 저용량으로 투여시에는 이러한 폐손상이 경감된다고 알려져 있으나 그 기전에 대하여는 확실히 밝혀지지 않고 있다. 산화질소(nitric oxide, NO)는 내독소나 염증성 사이토카인(cytokine) 등의 자극에 의해서 폐내 여러 염증세포에서 만들어지며 이 산화질소는 경우에 따라 우리 몸에 이롭거나 해로운 양면성을 지니고 있다. 저자들은 쥐에서 고농도의 산소에 의한 폐손상이 저농도의 내독소 투여로 경감되는 기전에, 산화질소가 중요한 역할을 하는지 또는 황산화효소나 다른 항염증성 사이토카인이 중요한 역할을 하는지를 규명하고자 하였다. 방 법 : 총 120마리의 쥐 (Sprague-Dawley rat)를 24마리씩 5군으로 나누어 대조군은 실내 공기를, 고농도 산소군은 100%의 산소를 100%의 산소를 60시간 투여하였고 내독소군은 100% 산소 투여시 2일간 저용량의 내독소를 투여하였다. 다른 두 군은 산화질소 합성 억제물인 aminoguanidine(AG)과 N-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME)를 각각 2일간 고농도 산소와 내독소에 더하여 투여하였다. 각각의 군에서 폐손상의 정도와 사망률을 관찰하고 superoxide dismutase(SOD), catalase, nitric oxide, IL-6, IL-11을 기관지폐포세척액에서 측정하고, 고농도산소 투여군의 폐조직에서 iNOS synthase rnRNA의 발현을 비교하였다. 결 과: 1. 100%의 산소에 60시간 노출시켰을 때 쥐의 사망률은 8.3% 이었고 내독소 투여군은 4.2%, NAME 투여군이 37.5%, AG 투여군이 25%로 산화질소 합성 억제제에 의하여 사망률의 증가가 관찰되었다. 2. 폐의 손상 정도를 나타내는 폐의 wet/dry 중량비와 늑막액도 100%의 산소에 노출된 군에서 증가되었고 내독소 투여에 의하여 감소되었으며 NAME나 AG 투여군에서는 오히려 증가되었다. 3. 이러한 내독소에 의한 폐손상 억제효과가 항산화효소인 SOD나 catalase, 또는 protective cytokine인 IL-6나 IL-11등의 증가와 관련이 있는지를 관찰하였으나 이들 모두에서 유의한 변화를 관찰하지 못하였다. 4. 산화질소는 100% 산소에 노출시킨 군에서도 증가하였으나 내독소 투여군에서 유의하게 더욱 증가하였고 이는 L-NAME 나 aminoguanidine의 투여시 감소하였다. 5. iNOS mRNA의 발현도 내독소 투여군에서 유의하게 증가하였다. 결 론 : 쥐의 고농소 산소 투여에 의한 폐손상은 저용량의 내독소 투여로 경감되며, 이는 주로 내독소 투여에 의한 iNOS mRNA의 발현을 유도하여 생성된 산화질소의 증가에 기인하는 것으로 생각된다.
