동중국해, 남해와 대한해협에서 채취한 해수 시료의 $^{228}$Ra/$^{226}$Ra방사능비와 염분을 이용하여 , 장강수(CW), 황해수(YSW) 그리고 쿠로시오수(KW)간의 혼합비율을 추정하였다. 동중국해의 경우 97년 8월 채집시료의 $^{228}$Ra/$^{226}$Ra방사능비와 염분을 이용한 혼합도는 이 지역이 KW, YSW그리고 CW순으로 세 단성분 모두의 영향을 받고 있다는 것을 나타낸다. 또한 동중국해의 경우 CW의 혼합비율은 염분만으로도 추정이 가능하였다. 남해와 대한해협의 경우혼합비율 추적자로 $^{228}$Ra/$^{226}$Ra방사능비와 염분을 이용하고 세 개의 단성분을 이용한 혼합비율추정에서 대부분의 정점은 CW의 영향이 매우 적은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 이 값들은 혼합비율 추적자로 $^{228}$Ra/$^{226}$Ra방사능비를 이용하고, CW를 제외한 두 개의 단성분만을 이용하여 추정된 혼합비율과 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 그러나 CW의 영향을 받을 것으로 생각되는 우기나 단성분간 정확한 혼합비율 추정이 요구될 경우 혼합비율 추정에는 세 단성분을 이용하여, $^{228}$Ra/$^{226}$Ra방사능비와 염분이 동시에 고려되어야 한다.

SAPHO syndrome is an acronym for an increasingly recognized syndrome of synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis. Most of the previously reported case are from Japan and Europe. The authors report a case of SAPHO syndrome in Korean female who presented with extrasternal neurologic symptoms. A 60-year-old female with thoracic and right chest wall pain presented with the sternocostoclavicular hyperostosis, and recurrent aseptic osteitis. Previously, she had hystrectomy and thyroidectomy due to uterine malignancy 25 years ago. Also, she started to take medications for palm and sole pustulosis 7 days prior to admission. Through evaluation of clinical, radiological, serological studies, studies was done along with bone needle biopsy for the biological reassessment. The hyperostosis was found in the pedicles of thoracic 8, 9, 10 vertebrae and sternoclavicular joint. Radio-isotope bone scan showed an accumulation of tracer in thoracic vertebra. The bone biopsy from these site showed increased osseous turnover, thickening of trabeculae accompanied by mild acculuation of granulation tissue and round cell infiltration, compatible with mild chronic inflammation with marrow fibrosis. The patient showed good response to conservative management. The authors report a case of SAPHO syndrome with thoracic radiculopathy. It is considered that SAPHO syndrome is related to spondyloarthropathy, and appears to have benign disease process with good prognosis.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the sealing ability of ZOE, FR and Sealapex, as a root canal sealer. Ninety six extracted anterior or premolar human teeth with single root were instrumented by using conventional method. After instrumentation, the teeth were divided into three groups and thirty two teeth in each group were filled as follows: ZOE group: ZOE cement as a root canal sealer in combination with guttapercha cone FR group: FR root canal sealer in combination with guttapercha cone Sealapex group: Sealapex root canal sealer in combination with guttapercha cone $^{45}Ca$ in the form of calcium chloride, was employed as the tracer in this study and produce the auto-radiograph. The depth of isotope penetration into the root canal was evaluated by method by Yates and Hembree at the intervals of 1 day, 7 days, 14 days and 30 days. The following conclusions were derived from the results obtained; 1. After 1 day, ZOE group exhibited the greatest penetration degree of radioisotope (p < 0.05). 2. After 14 days, there was some difference of the radioisotope penetration between each group, but its difference was not significant statistically. 3. After 30 days Sealapex group exhibited the least penetration degree of radioisotope (p < 0.025). 4. In ZOE and Sealapex groups, there was no change of the degree of radioisotope penetration with time.

Single-well-gas-sparging tests were developed and evaluated for assessing the feasibility of in-situ aerobic cometabolism of trichloroethylene (TCE), using propane as a growth substrate. To evaluate transport characteristics of dissolved solutes [sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) or bromide (non-reactive tracers), propane (a growth substrate), ethylene, propylene (nontoxic surrogates to probe for CAH transformation activity), and DO], push-pull transport tests were performed. Mass balance showed about 90% of the injected bromide and about 80% of the injected SF6 were recovered, and the recoveries of other solutes were comparable with bromide and slightly higher than SF6. A series of Gas-Sparging Biostimulation tests were performed by sparging propane/oxygen/argon/SF6 gas mixtures, and temporal ground water samples were obtained from the injection well under natural gradient 'drift' conditions. The decreased time for propane depletion and the longer time to deplete SF6 as a conservative tracer indicate the progress of biostimulation. Gas-Sparging Activity tests were performed. .Propane utilization, DO consumption, and ethylene and propylene cometabolism were well demonstrated. The stimulated propane-utilizers cometabolized ethylene and propylene to produce ethylene oxide and propylene oxide, as cometabolic by-products, respectively. Gas-Sparging Acetylene Blocking tests were performed by sparging gas mixtures including acetylene to demonstrate the involvement of monooxygenase enzymes. Gas substrate degradation was essentially completely Inhibited in the presence of acetylene, and no production of the corresponding oxides was also observed. The Gas-Sparging tests supports the evidences that the successive stimulation of propane-oxidizing microorganisms, cometabolic transformation of ethylene and propylene by the enzyme responsible for methane and propane degradation.

Carious dentin can be classified, on the basis of their clinical characteristics, into three groups; sound, sclerotic and active carious dentin. Active carious dentin differs from sclerotic dentin by its abscence of variable bacteria within tubles and amount of chemical content. But the apatite molecules of active carious dentin are not fully studied. The purpose of this study was to observed the physico-chemical characteristics of deep carious dentin. The samples of sound, sclerotic and active carious dentin were obtained respectively from 300 freshly extracted carious teeth. Bacterial-rich zone of superficial soft dentin layer was removed with hand instruments from all samples in advance. The samples were powdered and sieved (200 mesh) before analyses. Identification and estimation of the crystallinity of the samples were carried with X-ray diffraction and infrared absorption analyses. Measurements were made on a Rigaku Denki (Rigaku, geiger flex III, Japan) X-ray diffractometer with Cu-target at 30 Kv, 30 mA and are traced on a monochromatic tracer. Infrared absorption analysis was made on FT-IR spectrophometer (Nicolet Instrument Co.) using KBr pellets containing the samples and was recorded on data process (Model IR-80. Nicolet Instrument, Co). The following conclusions were as follows; 1. The nature of the main inorganic structure of sound, sclerotic and active carious dentin proved to be hydroxyapatite. 2. It was difficult to determine the identification due to their crystallinity of sound, sclerotic and active carious dentin. But sound dentin was the highest in crystallinity among them. 3. The magnesium whitlockite was to be found in active carious dentin, but not in sound and sclerotic dentin. 4. The carbonate content was highest in sound dentin, but the lowest was in active carious dentin.

Climate and environmental changes in the Arctic Ocean due to global warming have been linked to extreme climate change in mid-latitude regions, including the Korean Peninsula, requiring a better understanding of the Arctic climate system based on the paleo-analog. This review introduces three paleoenvironmental research cases using neodymium isotopes (¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd, ε_Nd) measured on two different fractions of marine sediments: silicate-bound 'detrital' and Fe-Mn oxide-dominated 'authigenic' fractions. In the first case, detrital ε_Nd in core HH17-1085-GC on the continental shelf off northern Svalbard was used for tracing changes in sediment provenance and associated glacier behavior over the last 16.3 ka. The second case showed the potential use of authigenic ε_Nd as a quasi-conservative water mass tracer. Three prominent ε_Nd peaks and troughs observed in core PS72/410-1 from the Mendeleev Ridge in the western Arctic Ocean over the past 76 ka suggested episodic meltwater discharge events during 51~46, 39~35 and 21~13 ka BP. The last case proposed the use of the difference between authigenic and detrital ε_Nd as a proxy for reconstructing glacier fluctuation. The idea is based on the assumption that enhanced glacial erosion during glacier advances can supply sufficient freshly-exposed rock substrate for incongruent weathering, potentially leading to greater isotopic decoupling between bedrock and dissolved weathering products as recorded in detrital and authigenic ε_Nd, respectively. Thus, it would be worthwhile to take advantage of sedimentary ε_Nd to improve our understanding of past environmental changes in polar regions.

동해의 울릉분지 표층에서 1996년 9월 초부터 11월 사이에 염분$^*$ 32 이하의 저염 해수가 출현했음이 최근 학계에 보고되었으며, 이 해수의 기원으로 여름철에 제주도 부근까지 세력을 확장하는 장강 유출수가 지목되었다. 대한해협의 서수로를 통과하는 해수가 두 단성분(장강 회석수와 쿠로시오 해수) 간의 단순한 혼합에 의한다는 가정하에 $^{228}Ra/^{226}Ra$ 방사능 비를 보존적 추적자로 활용하여, 두 수괴가 대한해협 서수로를 통과하는 표층수를 형성하는데 얼마나 기여하는가를 산정하였다. 알려진 두 단성분의 $^{228}Ra$, $^{226}Ra$ 방사능 측정값과 대한해협 서수로에서 측정한 $^{228}Ra/^{226}Ra$ 방사능 비로써 계산한 결과, 장강 희석수는 평균 염분이 32.17이었던 1996년 9월에 대한해협 서수로 표층수의 $58{\pm}3%$ 그리고 평균 염분이 34.53이었던 1997년 2월에는 $10{\pm}3%$ 기여하였던 것으로 나타났다. 이것은 제한된 자료와 매우 단순한 모델로부터 얻은 결과이지만 장강 유출수가 동해 내부에까지 영향을 주고 있음을 지시하며, 현재 장강 수계에 건설중인 삼협댐이 완공되면 장강 희석수 자체의 변화로 인해 북부 동중국해와 울릉분지 부근에 걸쳐 수십년 시간 규모의 해양 환경 변화가 일어날 것으로 판단된다.

최근 들어, 다공질 매질에서의 KCl 같은 보존성 용질의 운송계수를 결정하는데 TDR이 성공적으로 사용되고 있다. 본 연구는 TDR 기법이 사질 토양에서 중금속 이온의 운명과 시간에 따른 농도 분포를 측정하는데 적용가능한지를 알아보기 위하여 수행되었다 실험실에서 파과곡선 조건의 주상실험을 수행하여 사질토양에서 침출수와 잔존수의 $ZnCl_2$농도를 측정하였다. 정상류 상태에서 추적자인 $ZnCl_2$(10g/L)를 토양시료 상부에 순간 주입한 후, 시간별로 토양시료 상부로부터 각각 l0 cm와 20 cm 깊이에서 수평으로 설치된 TDR 탐침을 이용하여 저항을 EC-meter를 이용하여 침출수의 전기전도도를 측정하였고, 침출수의 Zn 이온의 농도는 ICP-AES를 이용하여 분석하였다. TDR과 침출수로부터 구한 농도측정 방법이 다르기 때문에, ICP-AES로부터 구한 농도와 토양시료 상부로부터 10 cm에서 TDR 로 측정된 잔존수 농도로부터 구한 운송파라미터를 감쇄상수를 고려한 CDE모델에 적용하여 구한 침출수 농도와 비교하였다. 실험결과에 의하면, 잔존수의 첨두농도근 EC-meter로 측정된 침출수의 것보다 더 빨리 그리고 더 높게 나타나 사질 토양이 균질한 것으로 나타났다. TDR로 구한 운송 파라미터로부터 추정된 $ZnCl_2$의 농도와 ICP-AES로 측정된 농도는 상당히 일치했다. 이것은 주어진 토양에서 감쇄상수를 얻기만 하면 TDR기법이 특정깊이에서의 중금속의 침출수 농도를 측정하는데에도 적용가능하다는 것을 의미한다.
