We investigated the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity in methanol extracts of 64 cultured cell lines, which were derived from various plant species, and the ascorbate content in cell lines, which showed a high radical scavenging activity. Thirteen cell lines revealed the antioxidative activity ($IC_{50}$) by methanol extracts of less than 50 mg in cell fresh wt. Of them, six cell lines showed the same Rf value as ascorbate on the DPPH sprayed silica gel TLC. The ascorbate content in cell lines of Rosa multiflora, Scutellaria baicalensis, and Achyranthes japonica showed 48.5, 30.3, and $16.8\;\mu\textrm{g}$ per g cell fresh wt by HPLC analysis, respectively. In callus cultures of S. baicalensis, the concentration of ascorbate reached a maximun ($39{\pm}3.4\;\mu\textrm{g}/g$ cell fresh wt) on 30 days after subculture, which corresponded to the stationary growth phase, and subsequently decreased by successive culturing.

하천에서는 나라마다 하천마다 구간마다 독특한 하도특성을 지니고 있다. 우리나라는 전 국토의 70 %가 산지로 이루어져 있으며, 이로 인하여 특이한 하도형태의 모습을 보이는 구간이 산재하고 있다. 그 대표적인 모습이 충적하도와 침식하도가 연속해 발생하는 과정에서 나타나는 것이 하천 협착부 구간이다. 이러한 하천협착부 주변지역은 전형적인 수해상습 구간이 되는 경우가 많다. 이러한 상황임에도 불구하고 현재까지 우리 나라에서는 이러한 협착부 구간에서 하도특성을 반영한 연구 및 설계 사례가 전무한 실정이다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 낙동강 선산지역의 하천 협착부에서의 하도 수리학적 의미와 하도형태에 대하여 조사하고 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 모래하천인 조사구간의 저수로 하상에서 아주 미세한 유사분급 현상은 확인할 수 있었지만, 명쾌한 자연 영력에 의한 유사분급 현상이라 판단하기에는 어려운 부분이 있었다. 이는 완만한 하상경사, 균일성에 가까운 하상재료의 공급에 기인한다고 추정할 수 있었다. 그러나 이와 같은 자연적인 현상보다는 골재채취 등의 원인에 따른 유사분급이 확연하다고 추정되었다. 그리고 협착부의 배수구역에서 과거 활발했던 이동상 단단면 하도형태가 유심부의 이동과 더불어 최근 급격하게 복단면화가 진행되고 있음을 확인하였다. 이와 더불어 저수로의 하폭이 크게 줄어드는 현상을 확인할 수 있었다. 이와 같은 현상은 궁극적으로 이상홍수 발생시의 복단면 가중 또는 홍수단면적 축소, 저수로에서의 호안 또는 제방 아래부분의 국소세굴이 야기될 수 있음을 시사한다.원주교각에 대한 국부세굴 특성을 검토하였다. 또한 원주형의 교각에서는 단일원주보다는 원주군으로 설치되는 경우가 대부분이며 이때 교각의 직경(D)에 대한 교각 사이 간격$(L_d)$의 비$(L_d/D)$에 따른 전면교각에서의 수류변화의 영향이 후면교각에 작용하여 상호 복합적인 흐름 및 세굴특성을 나타내므로 이와 같은 복렬형 원주군의 세굴특성을 파상형 원주교각에 적용하여 국부세굴의 크기 변화를 해석하였다. 따라서, 교각주위에서의 수류특성 및 세굴의 변동은 원주군 및 교각파상의 크기와 간격 등과 같은 구조물의 배열조건과 Froude 수, 수심 등의 수리학적 조건에 따라 달라지므로 이의 조건을 체계적으로 변화시켜 가면서 교각주위에서의 국부세굴 및 세굴 감소특성을 검토하였다. 실험결과 오목 및 볼록 파상형 원주 주위에서의 세굴크기는 원형원주와 비교하여 전체적으로 감소하는 것으로 확인되었으며 특히 오목형 $B/\acute{h}=3$에서는 세굴경감효과가 탁월하여 70%이상 감소하는 것으로 확인되었으나 볼록형 $B/\acute{h}=5$에서는 세굴촉진특성이 나타나고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 파상형 원주에서는 하강류나 와류를 파상형의 내부로 유도하여 세굴의 크기를 조절할 수 있는 최적의 파상이 존재하고 있는 것으로 예측되었다.원 분야 소프트웨어의 개발에 기본 토대를 제공할 것으로 판단된다.았다. 또한 저자들의 임상병리학적 연구결과가 다른 문헌에서 보고된 소아 신증후군의 연구결과와 큰 차이

The cytotoxic activity of MeOH extracts of the freeze-dried silkworm (Bombyx mori)-derived materials (4th instar larvae, female and mate pupae, virgin female and male adult), dried Beauveria bassiana-infected silkworm larvae, dried feces from the 4th instar larvae B. mori, and dried mulberry (Morus alba)-derived materials (leaves, fruits, root barks) in vitro was evaluated by sulforhodamine B assay, using the five human solid A 549 lung, SK-OV-2 ovarian, SK-MEL-2 melanoma, XF-498 CNS and HCT-15 colon tumor cell lines. The responses varied with both cell line and material used. The 70% hot MeOH extract of B. mori feces (BFH) revealed potent cytotoxic activity against model tumor cell lines whereas moderate activity was observed from the MeOH extract of B. mori feces. M. alba root barks, and M. alba fruits. The other test materials were ineffective. Because of its potent cytotoxic activity, the activity of each solvent fraction from the BFH was determined. Chloroform and ethyl acetate fractions showed the most potent cytotoxic activity. In conclusion, our results may be an indication of at least one of the pharmacological actions of B. mori feces. M. alba root barks, and M. alba fruits.

2-Diazo-1-naphthoquinone-5-sulfonyl chloride(NQD-Cl) was synthesized from sodium 2-diazo-naphthoquinone-5-sulfonate by chlorination. NQD-Cl was esterified with hydroxybenzophenones to give several 1,2-naphthoquinone-(2)-diazide-5-sulfonic acid ester derivatives(NQD-esters). We have compared benzophenone derivatives with methoxy group to benzophenone derivatives with hydroxy group. Solubility of each NQD-ester was studied. Each of NQD-esters was formulated with novolac base resin and PS plates were manufactured. Photosensitivity, bleachability, compatible exposed time and relative sensitivity were determined by UV spectrophotometry, imaged by UV lithographic techniques, and the gray scale method. According to the number of substituted NQD group, it showed that relative sensitivity was different from gray scale method. NQD-esters with methoxy group showed a good solubility and higher sensitivity than commercial PS ones.

This study was conducted to determine the effect of gamma-ray and electron-beam irradiation on dried spices (black pepper, red pepper, parsley, and basil) using the photostimulated luminescence (PSL), thermoluminescence (TL) and electron spin resonance (ESR) methods. The spices were irradiated at 0, 1, 5, and 10 kGy. All non-irradiated spices had photon counts (PCs) less than 700 PCs. The PCs of three irradiated spices (red pepper, parsley, and basil) were clearly distinguishable from those of non-irradiated ones, exhibiting PSL signals higher than 5000 PCs. However, negative PSL counts (<700 PCs) were obtained for most irradiated black pepper, except those irradiated with 5 kGy gamma rays and 10 kGy electron-beams. TL glow curves of the irradiated spices showed a higher peak at $150-250^{\circ}C$. TL ratios were found to be less than 0.1 for non-irradiated spices and higher than 0.1 for irradiated ones. No ESR signal was observed for any irradiated spice except red pepper, which displayed cellulose-based ESR spectra. Therefore, the results suggest that the PSL, TL, and ESR methods are effective detection techniques for dried spices irradiated with electron beams as well as gamma rays.

Objectives : Crohn's disease (CD) is characterized by a chronic relapsing inflammation of the bowel in which proinflammatory cytokines play an important perpetuating role. Methods : Mice (preventive animal model of gliotoxin) were treated with 5 % 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS) at day 1 and day 7. To investigate preventive effects of acupuncture with Gujin at $LI_{11}$, acupuncture was carried out at day -1, day 1, day 3. And, to investigate therapeutic effects, acupuncture with Gujin was carried out at day 3, day 5, day 7. For the data analysis, we checked weight and width of colon, diarrhea, edema, survival rate, changes of body weight, and myeloperoxygenase (MPO) activity. For analysing protein expression, we carried out immunohistochemical staining and Western blot and we analyzed mRNA expression by RT-PCR. Results : Colon of TNBS treated mice was erosive and shortening compared with the colon of control mice and induced damages of colon epithelial cell layer and induced infiltration of immune cells in all layer of colon. Acupuncture of gujin at $LI_{11}$ in preventive mode suppressed macorscopic damages such as erosive and shortening of colon by TNBS and damages of intestinal epithelial cells and infiltration of immune cells in the colon. The average weight of 5 cm distal colon was increased in TNBS treated mice (758${\mu}g$) compared with in control mice (112${\mu}g$) and width of distal colon was also increased in TNBS treated mice (4.9mm) compared with in control mice (1.3mm). Acupuncture with Gujin at $LI_{11}$ in preventive and therapeutic mode suppressed increase of colon weight and width by TNBS. TNBS induced edema of colon and diarrhea and Acupunctured with Gujin at $LI_{11}$ in preventive and therapeutic mode ameliorated these symptom by TNBS. In preventive and therapeutic mode, the effects of acupuncture with Gujin at $LI_{11}$ were increasing the motility, suppressing body weight decreasing, suppressing MPO activity, reducing expressing of TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-1b, and ICAM-1 in colon compared with that by TNBS Conclusions : This study demonstrates that acupuncture with Gujin at $LI_{11}$ represents a potential therapeutic method of Crohn's disease.

This study was conducted to examine the effect of a gamma irradiation on the antioxidant activity of ethanol extract from cooking drips of Thunnus thynnus (ECT). The electron donating ability against 1,1-diphenyl- 2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH), authentic hydroxyl radical scavenging activity by Ultra Weak Luminescence Analyzer, oxidative protection factors by Racimat method, ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), and ${\beta}$-carotene bleaching activity were measured as indices of antioxidant activity. All of the results shown that irradiation increased the antioxidant activity of ECT. These results suggested that ECT could be used as an antioxidative component in food and gamma irradiation could enhance these antioxidative properties.

The changes of the microorganism composition after therapeutic radiation for oral cancer patients are not well known and the long-term follow-up data are not reported. To obtain basic data for understanding of pathogenesis and prevention and treatment of dental caries and mucositis occuring after radiation therapy, 7 of the oral cancer patients presented at the Seoul National University Oral & Maxillofacial Department between 1997 and 1998 whose treatment plan included radiation therapy were recruited to investigate the changes in bacterial composition(total aerobic count, Candida, Staphylococci, Lactobacilli, S. mutans, and S. salivarius (mitis, sanguis)) of the saliva before, during, and after radiation therapy. The basic data obtained from this study on identification and composition change of the bacteria in saliva of patients treated with radiation therapy can be used (1) as a reference for deciding on the ideal anti-microbial spectrum of the oral rinsing agent to be used in patients treated with radiation therapy for malignant tumor of the head and neck region. (2) to enhance the understanding of increase of opportunistic infection after immunochemical changes of the saliva and its relation to specific bacterial infection. (3) as a reference in prescribing prophylactic antibiotics in immunodepressed patients after radiation therapy.

Since the year 2000, lung cancer has become the leading cause of cancer death in South Korea as in many other parts of the world. The current multidisciplinary approach for lung cancer includes a wide range of modalities, not only surgery, radiotherapy, medical drug therapy but also pain control, as well as social and psychological support. Therefore, thoracic surgeons, radiologists, nuclear medicine specialists, anesthetists, psychologist, nurses and social workers as well as medical doctors care for lung cancer patients. Sharing a common treatment protocol and optimal communication are vital aspects of shared care both from a medical and cost-effectiveness point of view. We developed a shared electronic medical record (SEMR) for treating patients with lung cancer in a university hospital to facilitate the sharing protocols and communications between doctors involved in a lung cancer clinic. A SEMR system was developed within a order communication system(OCS) for a lung cancer clinic. The records of radiological, laboratory and pathological studies as well as the records of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy were stored and presented to all doctors who treat the same patient. Every doctor was allowed to change his/her own records. They could review other doctor s records but could not alter them. With the SEMR, it was expected that the time to complete the medical records for one patient could be reduced because it was easy to review all the data from the other doctors who share the same patient. In addition, the confidence of the doctors who share a common treatment protocol would be higher. Therefore, a shared electronic medical record is expected to improve the quality of patient care.
