A gravimetric standard addition method combined with internal standard calibration has been successfully developed for the accurate analysis of total arsenic in a laver candidate reference material. A model equation for the gravimetric standard addition approach using an internal standard was derived to determine arsenic content in samples. Handlings of samples, As standard and internal standard were carried out gravimetrically to avoid larger uncertainty and variability involved in the volumetric preparation. Germanium was selected as the internal standard because of its close mass to the arsenic to minimize mass-dependent bias in mass spectrometer. The ion signal ratios of $^{75}As^+$ to $^{72}Ge^+$ (or $^{73}Ge^+$) were measured in high resolution mode ($R{\geq}10,000$) to separate potential isobaric interferences by high resolution ICP/MS. For method validation, the developed method was applied to the analysis of arsenic content in the NMIJ 7402-a codfish certified reference material (CRM) and the result was $37.07mg{\cdot}kg^{-1}{\pm}0.45mg{\cdot}kg^{-1}$ which is in good agreement with the certified value, $36.7mg{\cdot}kg^{-1}{\pm}1.8mg{\cdot}kg^{-1}$. Finally, the certified value of the total arsenic in the candidate laver CRM was determined to be $47.15mg{\cdot}kg^{-1}{\pm}1.32mg{\cdot}kg^{-1}$ (k = 2.8 for 95% confidence level) which is an excellent result for arsenic measurement with only 2.8 % of relative expanded uncertainty.

Pretreatment method for the determination of total arsenic in seafood sample was studied. NIST SRM 1566a oyster tissue ($14.0{\pm}1.2mg\;As/kg$) as a standard arsenic compound in order to establish the decomposition method. We confirmed that the best way for pretreatment of seafoods to analyze total arsenic content precisely was $HNO_3-H_2SO_4-HCIO_4$ method by comparison of two methods which are dry ashing and wet ashing methods.

본 연구는 유통 중인 곡류 87건 및 그 가공식품 66건을 대상으로 발암물질인 무기비소의 오염도를 조사하였다. 높은 분리능과 감도를 가진 HPLC-ICP/MS를 이용하여 무기비소 As(III), As(V) 및 유기비소 MMA, DMA, AsB, AsC를 분석했으며, ICP/MS로 총비소를 정량하였다. 모든 곡류에서 무기비소가 검출되었으며, 곡류의 총비소는 약 70-85%의 무기비소와 약 10-20%의 DMA로 구성되었다. 곡류 분석 결과, 담수재배 종인 쌀과 흑미에서 높았고, 밭재배 잡곡은 오염도가 낮았다. 쌀의 평균 무기비소 농도는 쌀눈 0.160 mg/kg, 현미 0.135 mg/kg, 백미 0.083 mg/kg으로 외피에 비소가 많은 것으로 조사되었다. 곡류 가공식품은 원재료의 종류와 함량에 따라 무기비소 농도가 달랐으며, 현미와 쌀눈 가공 제품에서 검출량이 많았다. 모든 시료는 기준규격을 초과하지 않았지만, 섭취 빈도가 높으므로 식품 안전을 위해 지속적인 모니터링이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Chronic exposure of arsenic is well known to be the cause of cardiovascular disease such as hypertension. In order to investigate the effect of arsenic on blood vessels. we examined whether arsenic affected agonist-induced contraction of aortic rings in isolated organ bath system. Treatment with arsenite increased vasoconstriction induced by phenylephrine or serotonin in a concentration-dependent manner. (omitted)

Several epidemiological studies suggested that arsenic exposure was strongly correlated with the development of cardiovascular disease such as hypertension. In order to examine whether arsenic affects vasomotor tone in blood vessels, we investigated the effect of arsenic on agonist-induced vasorelaxation using the isolated rat aortic rings in vitro organ bath system.Treatment with arsenite inhibited acetylcholine-induced relaxation of aortic rings in a concentration-dependent manner.

The metalloid arsenic (Z = 33) is considered to be a significant potential threat to human health due to its ubiquity and toxicity, even in rural regions. In this study a rural region contaminated with arsenic, located at longitude $85^{\circ}$ 32'E and latitude $25^{\circ}$ 11'N, was initially examined. Arsenic tolerant bacteria from the rhizosphere of Amaranthas viridis were found and identified as Bacillus licheniformis through 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The potential for the uptake and removal of arsenic at 3, 6 and 9 mM [As(V)], and 2, 4 and 6 mM [As(III)], and for the reduction of the above concentrations of As(V) to As(III) by the Bacillus licheniformis were then assessed. The minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) for As(V) and As(III) was determined to be 10 and 7 mM, respectively. At 3 mM 100% As(V) was uptaken by the bacteria with the liberation of 42% As(III) into the medium, whereas at 6 mM As(V), 76% AS(V) was removed from the media and 56% was reduced to As(III). At 2 mM As(III), the bacteria consumed 100%, whereas at 6 mM, the As(III) consumption was only 40%. The role of pH was significant for the speciation, availability and toxicity of the arsenic, which was measured as the variation in growth, uptake and content of cell protein. Both As(V) and As(III) were most toxic at around a neutral pH, whereas both acidic and basic pH favored growth, but at variable levels. Contrary to many reports, the total cell protein content in the bacteria was enhanced by both As(V) and As(III) stress.

Arsenic (As) contamination in drinking water is severe problem for about 100 million people who live in Bangladesh, Cambodia, Nepal, India, Vietnam, Myanmar, Mongolia, and Ethiopia etc. Chronic doses cause skin cancer, blackfoot disease, and cardiac damage. Even though the biosand filter (BSF) is popular in many developing countries, it could not remove effectively hazardous ions as As. Adsorbent is effective and feasible to reduce As. In this study the improved biosand filter (iBSF) was embedded with adsorbent, was tested to evaluate As removal as well as organic removal. In 20 days removal of turbidity, bacteria, and $UV_{254}$ have shown 60-95 % removal. Arsenic was removed more than 99.9 % in the columns embedded with silica oxides of ferric manganese ($FM{\alpha}$) while 5.8 ~ 38.3 % in columns without $FM{\alpha}$. Isotherm test showed that average amount of the adsorbed arsenic on the oxides was 0.56 mg/G.

연구배경 : Arsenic trioxide($As_2O_3$)은 재발성 또는 불응성 급성전골수성백혈병의 치료제로 쓰이는 항암제로서 비소세포폐암을 포함한 다른 암세포주에도 효과가 있는 것으로 되어있다. NSAIDs는 항암 예방약제로 사용되고 있고, 세포고사를 통해 다른 항암제나 방사선치료의 반응성을 강화시키는 것으로 알려져 있다. 저자들은 NCI-H157 세포주에서 $As_2O_3$와 sulindac의 병합치료가 그것들의 세포고사를 배가시키는지 여부를 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 세포 독성은 MTT 방법으로 측정하였고, 세포고사를 알아보기 위해 핵산 염색과 유식세포 분석을 시행하였다. 세포고사의 기전을 보기 위해 caspasefamily의 활성을 보았고, PARP와 ICAD의 분절을 western blotting으로 확인하였다. 또한 Fas와 Fas-L의 발현유무를 western blotting을 통해 관찰하였다. 결 과 : NCI-H157 폐암세포에 $As_2O_3$와 sulindac을 병합치료시 단독치료군에 비해 생존율이 의미 있게 감소하였고, 이러한 세포사는 핵산염색을 통한 염색사의 응축과 핵 분절 유도와 유식세포 분석에 의한 $sub-G_0/G_1$ DNA분획의 증가현상을 통해 세포고사에 의해 매개됨을 알 수 있었다. 세포고사의 유도에는 caspase 3, 8, 9를 통한 활성화와 이에 의한 PARP와 ICAD의 절단을 확인하였다. 또한 caspase-8 protease의 활성화에는 Fas와 Fas/L 단백질의 발현증가가 유도되었음을 알 수 있었다. 결 론 :NCI-H157 폐암세포주에 $As_2O_3$와 sulindac의 병합요법은 Fas/FasL 신호전달계의 활성화와 caspase 단백질 활성화 의해 세포고사가 유도되었다.
