Nonhuman primate에 자연 발생하는 신장질병에 대한 병리학적 연구를 위해 Macaque (200), Sanquinus mystax (15), Saimiri sciureus (80) 등 8종에서 총 504두를 일반 병리부검에 의해 조사하였다. 가장 빈발하는 신장 질병은 화농성, 간질성, 신장염이며 다음은 독성 신세뇨관염, 신사구체신염 및 신우신염 등이었다. 도표 3에서 비교된 바와 같이 nonhuman primate의 각 종류에 따라서 특징적인 신장염 소견을 보여주었다. 야외 원숭이 사육장에서 기르는 원숭이 군에서는 Aeromonas hydrophilia가 처음으로 중요한 본 질병의 원인체로 발견되었다.

The study was carried out to evaluate the preliminary toxicity and general pharmacology of KML-IIU, a purified pectin from Korean Mistletoe (Viscum album coloratum). KML-IIU was administered intravenously to ICR mice and Spargue-Dawley rats to investigate the acute toxicity. LD50 values in mice and rats were above 30 $\mu$g/kg. KML-IIU had no effects on the general behaviors, acetic acid induced writhing syndrome, pentobarbial induced sleeping time, pentylenetetrazole induced convulsion and the change of body temperature. In addition, KML-IIU did not show any effects on digestive system and blood coagulation system.

과학과 산업의 발전에 따라 공정안전기술도 새롭게 발전되어 가고 있음에도 불구하고 공정산업에서의 폭발사고가 자주 발생하고 있으며, 사고가 발생할 경우 대규모의 인명 덴 재산 손실을 초래하여 왔다. 우리나라의 경우 화학장치 산업이 1960년대 시작되어 많은 부분들이 교체되어야 할 주기를 지났거나 교체해야 할 상태에 있고, 이에 따라 신설 또는 증설공사 등으로 폭발위험성이 높은 것으로 보고되고 있다. 화학공정에는 가연성 위험물이나 폭발성 물질들이 대량으로 취급되고 있기 때문에 비록 적은 공정이라도 화재나 폭발이 발생하면 대규모의 피해를 초래한다. 특히 화학공정산업에서 사고로 발생하는 손실의 2/3 이상이 폭발사고에 의한 것으로 보고되고 있다. 즉 총 손실의 약 75%가 폭발사고에 의한 것이며 약 20%가 화재이고 나머지는 독성과 관련된 것으로 나타나 있다. 화학공정에서의 폭발 사고에 의한 피해 관련정보는 많은 자료에 의해 보고되고 있다. 실제로 막대한 파괴와 인명손실을 가져오는 과압은 일반적으로 폭발에서 발생되는 최대 압력인 6-8kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ 보다도 훨씬 낮다.(중략)

The effects of Sanjoinine-A, an alkaloid isolated from Zizyphus spinosus semens, on central nervous system and general pharmacology were studied. In summary, Sanjoinine-A depress the spontaneous locomotor activity without motor incoordination and it has slight analgesic effect. Those effects are qualitatively similar to that of diazepam but its potency is much lower than diazepam(20 times). Sanjoinine-A does not depress the electric or pentylenetetrazole induced convulsion. Those effects are dissimilar with that of diazepam. Sanjoinine-A slightly depress the spontaneous or acethylchollne induced motility of smooth muscles but degree of depressant effect was variable to tissues. Sanjoinine-A does not show any effects on digestive system, blood, kidney fuction and neural ganglion.

본 연구에서는 프로바이오틱스로 사용하는 유용 미생물과 식용으로 안전하게 사용 가능한 미생물 자원을 이용하여 배당체의 전환 연구를 실시하여 전환체의 새로운 생리활성 작용에 대하여 연구하였다. 연구에 사용한 주요 소재로는 인삼의 사포닌 배당체, 길경의 platycodin 배당체, 호로파의 사포닌 배당체, 칡과 두유의 이소플라본 배당체 등이었다. 사용 균주로는 bifidobacteria, lactobacilli, leuconostocs, yeasts, aspergilli 등이었다. 유산균 중에는 Bifidobacterium sp. Int-57의 전환능이 우수하였고 식용 곰팡이 중에는A. niger의 전환능이 우수하였다. 다양한 미생물 또는 효소를 이용한 전환체에 대하여 아질산 소거능, 항산화능, a-glucosidase와 a-amylase 저해능 등을 조사하였을 때 일반적으로 전환 후의 활성이 중가하였다. 길경 사포닌은 전환 후에 세포 독성이 줄어들었으며 관능성이 유의적으로 개선되었다. 결론적으로, 프로바이오틱스와 식용 미생물을 이용하여 천연물 중에 존재하는 배당체의 생리활성 및 관능성을 증가시킬 수 있어 새로운 기능성 식품의 개발에 활용할 수 있을 것이다.

Oplopanax elatus (O. elatus) is a tall deciduous shrub that has traditionally been used for σ eating a variety of ailments such as diabetes, coughling, rheumatism, gastro-intestinal disorders, and wounds. In order to examine the safety of the ethanol extracts of O. elatus, we performed a 14-day repeated-dose toxicity study with Sprague-Dawley rats. The rats were treated with daily doses of the D. elatus ethanol extracts by gavage at 0, 500, 1000, and 2000 mg/kg/day for 14 consecutive days. We recorded clinical signs of toxicity, body weight, hematology, organ weights, gross and histological changes in target organs, and clinical chemistry analysis data for all rats. There were no significant changes in body and organ weights during the experimental period. The hematological analysis and clinical blood chemistry data revealed no toxic effects from the O. elatus ethanol extracts. Pathologically, neither gross abnormalities nor histopathological changes were observed between the control and treated rats of both sexes. Collectively, these data suggest that the ethanol extracts of O. elatus have a high margin of safety.

It has been reported that 50~70% of child asthma, bronchial asthma in adult, and allergic rhinitis are caused by house dust mite. The antigen extracted from house dust mite has been used for effective treatment against allergic diseases and for clinical test. This house dust mite antigen has been entirely imported from abroad. However, the composition and content of all the antigen imported vary from a brand to other brand. Thus, we need to standardize the composition and content of the antigen by developing it domestically. We proceeded pre-clinically general pharmacological test and toxicological test that are required for the eventual human use by utilizing the house dust mite cultured in Korea. In order to obtain information on general pharmacological tests such as its toxic signs in tissues or organs which are mainly affected, we examined the effect of house dust mite on the tensions of the isolated tissues and heart rates of cardiac muscle by recording with force displacement transducer of polygragh (Glass Model 7). We determined lethality of antigen extracted from house dust mite in mice and guinea pigs. We examined acute and subacute toxicity by administrating house dust mite extract of 500, 100, 20 times of the expected clinical dose. In male and female mice and guinea pigs, given a sigle intraperitoneal dose of antigen, $LD_{50}$ values were over 5.0 $\textrm{m}{\ell}$/kg, respectively. In animals administrated with house dust mite, there were no significant change of clinical symptom, body weight, food consumption, water consumption, eye examinations, urinalysis, blood biochemistry, and histopathological examinations in any animals tested. We found no toxic effect of this house dust mite. These results show that the house dust mite cultured by us could be used in the development of medicine against allergic diseases caused by the antigen of house dust mite.

To assess clastogenic effects of the wild ginseng culture extract (WGCE) in vivo micronucleus test was performed using 7 weeks old ICR mice. At 24 hours after 2nd treatment with wild ginseng culture extract at the doses of 0, 500, 1,000, and 2,000 mg/kg/day by peritoneal route mice were sacrified and marrow cells were prepared for smear slides. As a result of counting the micronucleated polychromatic erythrocyte (MNPCE) of 2,000 polychromatic erythrocyte(PCE), all treatment groups did not show statistically significant increase than negative control group. And there was no clinical sign connected with injection of wild ginseng culture extract. It was concluded that wild ginseng culture extract did not induce micronucleus in the marrow cells of ICR mice.

대기 중 휘발성유기화합물류(VOCs)의 배출원은 매우 다양하며, 특히, 공단에서 배출되는 VOCs 노출로 인한 공단 주변거주지역 주민에게 배출특성 및 물질별 독성에 따라 유해한 건강 영향을 끼칠 가능성이 있다. 또한 일반가정에서의 자체 실내 오염원 또한 휘발성유기화합물류의 노출의 한 원인이다. 본 연구에서는 공단 주변 거주지역 및 동일 행정구역상의 비교지역을 선정하여 공단배출로 인한 실내유입 VOCs 노출 및 자체 실내오염원으로 인한 농도분포 및 기여정도를 조사하였다. 본 연구에서 공단주변 거주지역 및 비교지역의 조사된 실내 평균 농도는 MTBE 2.24, $2.47{\mu}g/m^3$, benzene 9.82, $8.51{\mu}g/m^3$, toluene 103.80, $83.57{\mu}g/m^3$, ethylbenzene 36.45, $15.52{\mu}g/m^3$, xylene 26.27, $1.00{\mu}g/m^34로 비교지역 거주지에 비해 공단지역 주변거주지의 실내공기 중 VOCs 의 농도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 최종적으로 I/O ratio를 비교한 결과 조사 거주지 모두 자체 실내오염원이 있는 것으로 관찰되었고, 공단지역 주변거주지의 경우 공단의 VOCs 배출로 의해 추가 노출이 되는 것으로 각각 조사되었다.

In this research, an environmental-friendly foam extinguisher was newly developed using a natural surfactant as its composition. Two criteria were applied to verify its extinguishing performance and environmental attraction. One is unit 2 model by "Standards of Model Approval and Inspection Technology for Portable Fire Extinguishers" presented in Korea Fire Equipment Inspection Corporation. The other is Terrestrial Plants, Growth Test and Fish, Acute Toxicity Test presented in Korea Institute of Toxicology(Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology). Test results showed that the extinguishing performance was 5 unit of general fire Class A, the $LC_{50}$ by germination was 75(g/kg) and the $EC_{50}$ by growth was 62(g/kg) through Terrestrial Plants, Growth Test, and also the toxicity was 6658 ppm in Fish, Acute Toxicity Test. The numerical values were highly evaluated than other fire extinguishing agents being commercialized in domestic. The results also showed suitably in basic physical properties and anti-corrosion properties for making use of fire extinguishing agent.
