Airborne particles collected from a heavily industrialized site were analyzed by chemical speciation of seven trace metals: Pb, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Zn, and As. The average concentrations were as follows: $Zn,\;502.0{\pm}230.7;\;Pb,\;176.5{\pm}310.9;\;Cu,\;111.9{\pm}82.7;\;As,\;38.0{\pm}31.0;\;Cr,\;21.5{\pm}24.4;\;Cd,\;20.8{\pm}17.4;\;and\;Ni,\;11.4{\pm}8.4\;ng/m^3$. The median enrichment factor (EF) values of Cd (7,280), As (1,030), Cu (215), Zn (214), and Pb (143), with respect to iron, were much larger than 100. We observed that Cd was found in the soluble and exchange- able form (56.9%), and that Pb and Cr were found in carbonates, oxides and the reducible form (69.8% and 61.1%, respectively). These two forms, which are the most easily absorbed into human body tissue, predominated in most of the trace metals investigated in this study.

청, 황 2-파장 발광층의 구성에서 청색층으로 GDI602를, 황색층으로 GD1602:Rubrene(10%)를 사용하여 2-파장 백색 유기발광다이오드(WOLED)를 제작하고 이들의 특성을 분석하였다. 실험에서는 GDI602:Rubrene (10%)-황색층의 두께를 $220\{AA}$으로 일정하게 두고, GDI602-청색층의 두께를 달리하여 소자들을 제작하였다. 제작된 소자들의 발광 스펙트럼 특성으로는 GDI602 층의 두께에 따라 중심파장의 위치는 거의 일정하나 2-파장 사이의 상대적 세기가 변화되었으며, GDI602 층의 두께가 얇아질수록 황색파장의 상대적 세기가 강해지는 것을 볼 수 있었다. GDI602 층이 $60{\AA}$인 소자는 11V, $70{\AA}$인 소자는 9V, $80{\AA}$인 소자는 8V, $90{\AA}$인 소자는 7V 에서 순수 백색광(x=0.33, y=0.33)에 가까운 발광 특성을 나타내었다. 또한 GDI602 층의 두께에 따른 효율과 휘도는 백색발광 조건에서 각각 0.51m/W와 $3650cd/m^2(60{\AA})$, 0.61m/W와 $1050cd/m^2(70{\AA})$, 0.91m/W와 $490cd/m^2(80){\AA}$, 1.61m/W와 $250cd/m^2(90){\AA}$을 나타내었다.

Silica is one of the most abundant compounds found in nature. Immoderate exposure to crystalline silica has been linked to pulmonary disease and crystalline silica has been classified as a Group I carcinogen. Ultrafine (diameter <100 nm) silica particles may have different toxicological properties compared to larger particles. We evaluated the effect of ultrafine silica nanoparticles on mouse bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDC) and murine dendritic cell line, DC2.4. The exposure of dendritic cells (DCs) to ultrafine silica nanoparticles showed a decrease in cell viability and an induction of cell death in size- and concentration-dependent manners. In addition, in order to examine the phenotypic changes of DCs following co-culture with silica nanoparticles, we added each sized-silica nanoparticle along with GM-CSF and IL-4 during and after DC differentiation. Expression of CD11c, a typical DC marker, and multiple surface molecules such as CD54, CD80, CD86, MHC class II, was changed by silica nanoparticles in a size-dependent manner. We also found that silica nanoparticles affect inflammatory response in DCs in vitro and in vivo. Finally, we found that p38 and NF-${\kappa}B$ activation may be critical for the inflammatory response by silica nanoparticles. Our data demonstrate that ultrafine silica nanoparticles have cytotoxic effects on dendritic cells and immune modulation effects in vitro and in vivo.

We studied emission characteristics for blue fluorescent dual-side emission OLED with Al cathode thickness variation. In the bottom emission OLED of Al cathode with 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and 150 nm thickness, maximum luminance showed 36.1, 8,130, 9,300, 12,000, 13,000, and $12,890cd/m^2$, and maximum current efficiency showed 2, 8.8, 10, 10.5, 10.8, and 11.4 cd/A, respectively. The emission characteristics of the bottom emission seemed to be improved according to decrease of resistance as the thickness of Al cathode increase. In the top emission OLED of Al cathode with 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 nm thickness, maximum luminance showed 4.3, 351, 131, 88.6, and $33.2cd/m^2$, and maximum current efficiency showed 0.23, 0.38, 0.21, 0.16, and 0.09 cd/A, respectively. It yielded the highest maximum luminance and maximum current efficiency in Al cathode thickness 15 nm. It showed a tendency to decrease as the thickness of Al cathode increase. The reason for this is due to decrease of transmittance with increasing of Al cathode thickness. The electroluminescent spectra of bottom and top emission OLED were not change.

This experimental study was carried out to evaluate the effects of Acanthopanacis cortex on Cytokine-inducing and and immune response in Mice. In order to investigate the effect of Acanthopanacis cortex, the following was performed; Cytotoxicity, in vitro, the fraction of $CD4^+$, $CD8^+$, $B220^+$ in splenic cell, gene expression of IL-12(p35), IL-12(p40), IFN-${\gamma}$, and splenic cell proliferation by Acanthopanacis cortex. Analysis of cytokine gene expression was carried out by RT-PCR amplification. Amplified PCR products were electrophoresed on 1.2% agarose gel, and the analysis (Ht) was used to 1D-density program. The results were obtained as follows. Acanthpanacis cortex showed didn't have cell toxicity under $12{\mu}g/m{\ell}$ group on mouse lung fibroblast cells. In an in vitro model using mouse peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), extract of Acanthpanacis cortex induced multiple cytokine, including interleukin-12 (p35), interleukin-12 (p40), interferon-gamma (IFN-${\gamma}$). The extract also enhanced the percentages of the $CD4^+$, and $CD8^+$ in the untreated control were $22.1{\pm}3.3$ to $38.4{\pm}2.1$, and $5.0{\pm}0.4$ to $10.7{\pm}0.3%$, respectively. From above findings, it is suggested that Acanthopanacis cortex is able to anti-cancer and activate immune response system.

During T cell activation, mitochondrial content increases to meet the high energy demand of rapid cell proliferation. With this increase, the level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) also increases and causes the rapid apoptotic death of activated cells, thereby facilitating T cell homeostasis. Nicotinamide (NAM) has previously been shown to enhance mitochondria quality and extend the replicative life span of human fibroblasts. In this study, we examined the effect of NAM on $CD8^+$ T cell activation. NAM treatment attenuated the increase of mitochondrial content and ROS in T cells activated by CD3/CD28 antibodies. This was accompanied by an accelerated and higher-level clonal expansion resulting from attenuated apoptotic death but not increased division of the activated cells. Attenuation of ROS-triggered pro-apoptotic events and upregulation of Bcl-2 expression appeared to be involved. Although cells activated in the presence of NAM exhibited compromised cytokine gene expression, our results suggest a means to augment the size of T cell expansion during activation without consuming their limited replicative potential.

In this paper, we present evidence that the red ginseng from Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer inhibits the recurrence of advanced gastric cancer and shows immunomodulatory activities during postoperative chemotherapy. Flow cytometric analyses for peripheral T-lymphocyte subsets showed that the red ginseng powder restored CD4 levels to the initial preoperative values during postoperative chemotherapy. Depression of CD3 during postoperative chemotherapy was also inhibited by the red ginseng powder ingestion. This study demonstrated a 5-year disease free survival and overall survival rate that was significantly higher in patients taking the red ginseng powder during postoperative chemotherapy vs. control $(68.2\%\;vs.\;33.3\%,\;76.4\%\;vs.\;38.5\%,$ respectively, p<0.05). The mean value of serum IL-10 of the ginseng group was reduced progressively during the postoperative chemotherapy. The values of the ginseng group were close to that of the control group on postoperative months 3. These studies suggest that the red ginseng may have some immunomodulatory properties associated with CD3 and CD4 activity and interleukin 10 during postoperative chemotherapy and some potential of improving prognosis in patients with advanced gastric cancer.

Peripheral bood stem cell collection (PBSCC), including peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT), has been utilized worldwide as a very beneficial treatment method instead of allogenic Bone Marrow Transplantation (BMT) because it has many advantages such as rapid bone marrow engraftment and hematopoietic recovery, easy and safe accessibility and lower risk of rejection compared with allogenic BMT. In order to identify most the observable parameter in PBSCC, we analyzed various hematological parameters before and after PBSCC, and evaluated the correlation between the time of bone marrow engraftment and the number of CD34+ cells. Thirteen patients, who underwent 54 PBSCCs from January, 2003 to August, 2004 at Chungnam National University Hospital due to various systemic neoplasms, were analyzed in aspects of various hematological parameters including CD34+ cells using by Flow Cytometry (FCM). PBSCC harvests are described below: Mononuclear cells (MNC) $2.3{\pm}1.4{\times}10^8/kg$ and CD34+ cells $0.63{\pm}0.35{\times}10^6/kg$ on average, respectively. There was a statistical significance in Hb and Hct before and after PBSCC, but not in WBC and platelet counts. The period to reach the hematological bone marrow engraftment was 13.4(10~21) days and 19.5(11~38) days according to the criteria of absolute neutrophile counts (ANC) ${\geq}500/uL$ and platelet counts ${\geq}50,000/{\mu}L$ in peripheral blood, respectively. There was a significant correlation between the numbers of CD34+ cell and ANC (p<0.05), and a borderline significance between MNC and ANC (p=0.051). We found that a group of patients, who were infused with CD34+ cells more than $3.5{\times}10^6/kg$, reached more rapidly the period of bone marrow engraftment in platelet counts (p=0.040). This present study suggested that Hb and Hct were the most useful parameters and should be closely monitored before and after PBSCC, that a PBSCT with the dosage of more than $3.5{\times}10^6/kg$ of CD34+ cells was needed to perform successful bone marrow engraftment, and additionally that platelet counts could be more useful in indicating bone marrow engraftment than ANC.

쇠고기 엑기스 분말로부터 방사선 조사 휘발성 화합물의 검출에 의한 새로운 검지방법의 개발을 위한 기초 자료를 마련하고자 S-PD 법, S-CD 법, P&T 법 및 LLCE 법 등 4종의 방법을 대상으로 휘발성 화합물의 추출을 위한 최적의 방법을 선정하고자 하였다. 그 결과 쇠고기 엑기스 분말로부터 탄화수소류, 알데히드류, 케톤류, 알콜류, 함황화합물류, 함질소화합물류, 방향족화합물류, 테르펜류, 푸란류 및 기타 화합물류로 구성된 106종의 휘발성 화합물이 검출되었으며, 이 중 S-PD법에 의해 62종의 화합물이 검출됨으로써 가장 많은 화합물을 나타내었고, 다음으로 P&T 법(43종), LLCE 법(38종) 및 S-CD 법(30종) 순이었다. S-PD 법은 RI 1200 이상의 휘발성이 약하며 분자량이 높은 화합물에 대한 검출능이 높았고, P&T 법은 RI 1200 이하의 화합물의 검출능이 높은 경향을 나타냄으로서, 위 두 방법은 상호보완적인 경향을 나타내었다. 한편 S-CD법에 의해 검출된 화합물은 3종을 제외하고 S-PD 법에 의해서도 검출 가능하였으며, LLCE 법의 경우는 5종의 화합물을 제외하고 S-PD 법과 P&T법을 병용할 경우 모두 검출 가능한 화합물로 구성되어 있었다. 따라서 비극성 fiber(PDMS/DVB)를 사용한 SPME 법과 P&T 법을 병용하는 방법이 쇠고기 엑기스 분말의 휘발성 화합물을 추출하기 위한 최적의 방법으로 선정되었다.
