Corticosteroid (budesonide) nebulizer therapy is commonly performed. Its side effects have been considered as being safe or ignorable. The authors present a case of esophageal candidiasis in a healthy female adolescent who was treated with budesonide nebulizer therapy a few times for a cough during the previous winter season. This child presented with dysphagia and epigastric pain for 1 month. Esophageal endoscopy showed a whitish creamy pseudomembrane and erosions on the esophageal mucosa. Pathologic findings showed numerous candidal hyphae. She did not show any evidence of immunodeficiency, clinically and historically. The esophageal lesion did not resolve naturally. The esophageal lesion completely improved with the antifungal therapy for 2 weeks; the symptoms disappeared, and the patient returned to normal health. It is important that frequent esophageal exposure to topical corticosteroids application can cause unexpected side effects.

The excitation temperature and electron number density have been measured for end-on-view ICP discharge. In this work, end-on-view ICP-AES equipped with the newly developed “optical plasma interface (OPI)” was used to eliminate or remove the neg ative effects caused by end-on-plasma source. The axial excitation temperature was measured using analyte (Fe I) emission line data obtained with end-on-view ICP-AES. The axial electron number density was calculated by Saha-Eggert ionization equilibrium theory. In the present study, the effects of forward power, nebulizer gas flow rate and the presence of Na on the excitation temperature and electron number density have been investigated. For sample introduction, two kinds of nebulizers (pneumatic and ultrasonic nebulizer) were utilized.

LC-ICP-MS를 이용한 어류중 비소의 종분화 분석을 위해 microwave-assisted extraction과 sonication extraction 방법을 비교하였다. Ultrasonic nebulizer와 cross flow nebulizer를 사용한 비소종들의 검출한계는 유사한 결과를 보였다. 분석된 비소 종들은 arsenobetaine (AsB), arsenite [As(III)], dimethylarsine acid (DMA), monomethylarsonic acid (MMA), arsenate [As(v)] 와 phenylarsonic acid (PAA) 이다. 두 가지 방법은 NRCC (National Research Council of Canada)의 표준물질인 DORM-2를 50% 메탄올로 추출하였다. arsenobetaine의 경우, 두 방법 모두 5% 이하의 상대표준편차와 82% 이상의 추출효율을 보였다. Arsenobetaine은 microwave assisted extraction 방법에서 $14.18{\pm}0.42mg\;kg^{-1}$을 보였고 sonication extraction 방법에서는 $13.54 {\pm}0.84mg\;kg^{-1}$을 보였다. dimethylarsine acid (DMA)의 경우 각각 $0.45{\pm}0.06mg\;kg^{-1}$과 $0.44{\pm}0.06mg\;kg^{-1}$를 보였다.

목 적 : 현재 시중에 판매되고 있는 연무기 기종에 따라 그 성능이 다를 것으로 보고 제품 선택에 도움이 되고자 국내 시판중인 16가지 연무기 기종의 성능을 실험을 통하여 비교하였다. 방 법 : 16가지 연무기/압축기 제품(Pariboy Type 38/Long life, Pariboy Type N/Long life, Pariboy Type N/Salter 8900, Pariboy Type N/LC, Devilbiss pulmoaid-LT/Hudson, Devilbiss pulmoaid/Hudson, Mesmed neb-300/Own, San-up 3040/Hudson, Midas(Basic)/Own, AirJolie2/Hudson, Thomas 1127/Salter 8900, Noel NE-2000/Salter 8900, Omron CX3/Hudson, Chang Woo CWN-100/Salter 8900, Voyage/Mefar, ASI-Pro/Medel jet pluse)을 가지고 Mass output과 입자 크기를 측정하였다. Mass output은 생리식염수 4 mL를 2분간 분무 전, 후의 무게변화를 정밀 전자저울로 측정하였다. 동일한 방법으로 생리식염수 3 mL를 채워 실험하였다. 입자의 크기는 0.9% 생리식염수 4 mL를 채우고 5분간 작동하면서 laser diffraction법을 이용하여 측정하였다. 결 과 : 분당흡입량은 Pariboy type N/Long life이 0.184 mg/min로 가장 높은 값을 보였으며 0.019 mg/min로 가장 낮은 수치를 나타낸 Mesmed Neb-300/Own과는 약 9.6배의 차이를 보였다. Pariboy Type N/Long life이 Mass output이 0.68 mg/min로 가장 컸고 0.13 mg/min으로 가장 작은 수치를 보인 Mesmed-Neb/Own과는 5.2 배 차이가 있었다. 모든 제품은 5분간의 입자의 크기를 측정하였으나 검사시간 동안 입자크기의 차이는 보이지 않았다. $5{\mu}m$ 이하의 입자크기의 최대값은 64%였고 최소값의 연무기는 20%였다. MMAD는 Pariboy Type N/Long life이 $3.76{\mu}m$로 가장 작았으며 나머지 제품은 모두 $5{\mu}m$ 이상이었다. 결 론 : 시중에 판매되는 연무기들의 기능이 다양하므로 제품의 선택에 있어서 그 성능을 고려할 필요가 있다.

추출한 유기상 속의 희토류 원소를 유도결합 플라스마 질량분석법(inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, ICP-MS)으로 정량하는 방법에 대하여 연구하였다. 희토류 원소를 추출한 유기상의 과다한 도입을 방지하기 위하여 탈용매화장치를 장착한 초음파 분무기를 이용하여 ICP-MS에 주입하였다. 에탄올(EtOH)에 MIBK(methyl isobutyl ketone)를 섞은 용매를 도입하였을때, 계수율(count rate)이 증가하였고, 여기에 0.03 M의 추출제 HEH(2-ethylhexyl-2-ethylhexyl phosphonic acid, P507, PC88A)를 섞었을 때는 감소하였다. 탈용매화장치의 냉각장치(condenser)의 최적온도는 -10 $^{\circ}C$이었고, 가열관(heating tube)의 최적온도는 150 $^{\circ}C$이었다. 계수율이 최대이고, 반사파(reflect power)가 최소인 최적 운반기체의 흐름속도는 0.7 L/min이었다. MIBK에 추출제 HEH가 0.03 M이 섞여있는 추출용매로 추출을 행하였을 때, 최적 pH는 4.3이었고, 추출시간은 10 분이었다. 최적조건에서 0.2 ${\sim}$ 20 ng/mL의 표준용액으로 얻은 검정곡선으로부터 구한 검출 한계는 0.02 ${\sim}$ 0.05 ng/mL 이었다.

Multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (MC-ICP-MS) is currently used in our laboratory for isotopic and quantitative analyses of nuclear materials at ultra-trace levels in environmental swipe samples, which is a very useful for monitoring undeclared nuclear activities. In this study, to improve measurement precisions of uranium isotopes at ultratrace levels, we adopted a desolvating nebulizer system (Aridus-II, CETAC., USA), which can improve signal sensitivity and reduce formation of uranium hydride. A peristaltic pump was combined with Aridus-II in the sample introduction system of MC-ICP-MS to reduce long-term signal fluctuations by maintaining a constant flow rate of the sample solution. The signal sensitivity in the presence of Aridus-II was improved more than 10-fold and the formation ratio of UH/U decreased by 16- to 17- fold compared to a normal spray chamber. Long-term signal fluctuations were significantly reduced by using the peristaltic pump. Detailed optimizations and evaluations with uranium standards are also discussed in this paper.

진핵생물의 특정 염기배열을 원핵생물 내에서 증폭시킬 때 불안정성이 비교적 빈번히 관찰되어진다. 특히 long inverted repeats나 AT-rich sequences그리고 Z-DNA와 같은 구조를 지닌 염기배열은 대장균 내에서 매우 불안정하다. 이러한 염기서열은 대장균 내에서 부분적으로 결실되거나 완전히 손실된다. 본 연구실에서 human SCKI 유전자에 존재하는 몇 개의 tandem repeat (TR)에 대하여 다형성을 조사하였을 때, 어떤 TR 부분은 플라스미드로부터 빈번히 결실되어 그에 대한 염기서열 결정이 어려웠다. 그 결과 이러한 부분은 클론닝 될 수 없는 염기서열로 남게 되었다. 본 연구에서는 클론닝이 어려운 두 개의 TR 영역을 저온에서 클론닝하고 nebulizer나 sonicator를 이용하여 두 개의 library를 만들어 DNA 염기서열을 결정하였다. 이러한 연구는 복잡한 고등생물의 게놈연구에서 불안정한 게놈부분의 염기서열을 결정하는데 도움을 줄 것으로 사료된다.

Cigarette smoke causes atypical structure of pulmonary and oxidative damage. Therefore, we carried out to determine if exposure to cigarette smoke alters pulmonary structure and anti-oxidant related enzyme in a animal model, when natural product extracts using by Nebulizer. The rat were divided into four groups: $H_2O-treated$ (Control), natural product (Camellia sinensis) extracts-treated (CS), natural product extracts-treated with cigarette smoke-exposed (CS+SM) and cigarette smoke-expose (SM). All groups are similar to Control group in weight, but SM group is lower than the other groups. Microscopic image of the pulmonary structure in SM group showed deleterious alterations in the morphology, but the other groups are maintained in normal structure. In anti-oxidant related enzymes, SOD (superoxide dismutase) and catalase, SM group represents the lowest enzyme activity among all groups. But G6PD (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase) and LPO (lipid peroxidation) is SM group represents the highest enzyme activity among all groups. These result indicate that the natural product extracts is an efficient tissue protective substance against smoke-induced lung injury.

Cigarette smoking (SM) is considered to be well known environmental toxin which contributes to the onset of various diseases. SM cause direct lungs damage, activate lungs inflammatory responses, and in some cases leads to the development of lung cancer. Cytokines in injured starfish (Asterina pectinifera) is the potential changes in its expression during the regeneration process. Especially, expression of TGF-${\beta}1$ has increased in arm cut starfish extract after eight days. Also, starfish including saponin like the ginseng. Saponin is widely used in the world because of some effective pharmacological activities. Therefore, the current study was designed to elucidate the pharmacological activities of starfish extract against cigarette smoking induced damage in cell line and pulmonary tissue. We investigate that the effect of eight days starfish extract after arm cut (8d) and intact starfish extract on cell line and mouse lung injury by SM. In cell proliferation analysis, although cigarette smoking extract (CSE) was co-treated, the higher proliferation ability is shown in 8d treatment than intact starfish extract. 8d and intact starfish extract was directly transported to pulmonary cells through respiratory organ by nebulizer inhalation. In this case of cigarette smoking, the pulmonary structure was damaged and functions become abnormal. However, 8d treated groups showed similar with the control group compared with SM group. Among them, 8d was proved to be more effective than intact starfish extract. These results demonstrate that 8d could more protect pulmonary structure and function than intact starfish extract against cigarette smoking by ginseng like saponin and regulation of inflammatory cytokines.
