We were trying to study the validity of Puffer fish's poison(Tetrodotoxin- TTX) to make a traditional Korean Medical treatment. The following conclusions were made after literary studies. 1. The first record of the puffer fish dates back 2000 years ago in the Chinese text Book of Mountain and Sea and other texts from the similar period. 2. Puffer fish's poison IS known as tetrodotoxin which is an amino perhydroquinazoline compound. It has a chemical formula of $C_{11}H_{17}N_3O_8$ in the hemiacetal structure and has the molecular weight of 319. 3. Tetrodotoxin (TTX) plays a role as potent neurotransmitter blocker by blocking the $Na^+$ -gate channel which hinders the influx of $Na^+$ ion into the cell. 4. Symptoms of the puffer fish poisoning ranges from blunted sense in the lips and tongue, occasional vomiting in the first degree to sudden descending of the blood pressure, apnea, and other critical conditions in the fourth degree. Intoxication of the puffer fish poison progresses at a rapid pace as death may occur after an hour and half up to eight hours in maximum. Typical death occurs after four to six hours. 5. Ways to treat the puffer fish poisoning include gastric irrigation, induce vomiting, purgation, intravenous fluid injection, and correcting electrolytic imbalance and acidosis. In cases of dyspnea, apply oxygen inhalation and conduct artificial respiration. 6. Tetrodotoxin (TTX) may be applied in treating brain disorders, ocular pain, excess pain in the large intestine and ileum, and relieving tension of the skeletal museles, neuralgia, rheumatism, arthritis, and etc. 7. In terms of Oriental medicine, the puffer fish poison has characteristics of sweet, warm, and poisonous. It's known efficacies are to tonify weakness, dispel damp, benefit the lower back, relieve hemorrhoid, kills parasites, remove edema, and so forth. And the puffer fish eggs processed with ginger are said to be effective against tuberculosis and lung cancer, thus, it's validity must be investigated and further research should be followed.

The effects of the anaesthetic agents, clove oil and mixture of clove oil with lidocaine-HCl were evaluated on river puffer, Takifugu obscurus and tiger puffer, T. rubripes. Anaesthesia times of clove oil were affected by water temperature ($20^{\circ}C$, $24^{\circ}C$, and $28^{\circ}C$) and salinity (10, 20, and 30 ppt). Anaesthesia times of mixed samples were significantly similar with regard to exposure and recovery times, and all samples satisfied anaesthesia criteria (exposure time within 3 min and recovery time within 5 min) under the various temperatures and salinities, and the lowest to highest concentration of anaesthetics (p<0.05). Both species river puffer and tiger puffer had short exposure time with a high anaesthesia dose, high temperature ($28^{\circ}C$) and intermediate salinity (20 ppt), and were highly affected by temperature and salinity (p<0.05). The mixed anaesthetics had rapid exposure times and long recovery times in contrast to the effects of clove oil. Cortisol concentrations under the conditions of various clove oil dosages, salinity, and temperature for both species increased until 12 hrs after recovery from anaesthesia (p<0.05). After 12 hrs, cortisol concentrations decreased until after 48 hrs (p<0.05). During the simulated transportation of both species, control and sedated clove oil groups (5 ppm) were measured for water parameters, dissolved oxygen (DO), $CO_2$, respiratory frequency, $NH_4{^+}$, and pH for 6 hrs in 1 hr intervals. Water parameters of sedated groups and controls were significantly different after 2 hrs (p<0.05).

At present, the principle of puffer action in high current interruption is adopted in almost of the EHV(Extra High Voltage) and UHV(Ultra High Voltage) GCB(Gas Circuit Breakers). The thermal interruption capability of these GCBs critically depends on the pressure rise in the puffer cylinder at current zero. The pressure rise in the puffer cylinder depends on the puffer cylinder volume, flow passage and leakage area in the interrupter, stroke curve etc. Recently commercial CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics ) packages have been widely adopted to calculate the pressure distribution in the interrupter. However, there are still several problems with it, e.g. very expensive price, moving boundary problem, computation time, difficulty in using the package etc. Thus, the calculation of the puffer cylinder pressure in simple and relatively correct method is essential in early stage of GCB design. In these paper, the model ing technique and computed results for EHV class GCB (HICO, 145kV 40kA and 362kV 40kA GCB) are presented and compared with available measured results.

흰반점바이러스(WSSV, white spot syndrome virus)는 세계적으로 새우양식산업에 가장 심각한 피해를 주는 질병으로 우리나라에는 1993년 서해안에서 처음 보고된 이래 해마다 축제식 새우양식장에 반복적으로 대량폐사를 가져오고 있다. WSSV는 전염성이 매우 강한 바이러스로서 새우양식장에 내에서 감염된 새우들 간에 공식에 의하여 빠르게 감염이 확산될 수 있다. 황복과 같은 육식성 어류는 감염새우 혹은 약한 새우를 선택적으로 포식함으로써 바이러스의 발병을 지연 혹은 억제시킬 수 있는 것으로 알려져 있어 양식현장에서 새우와 함께 복합적으로 양식이 시도되고 있지만 황복의 감염새우에 대한 선택적 포식의 정도와 효과에 대해서는 보고되어 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 WSSV에 감염된 새우와 비감염된 건강한 새우를 대상으로 사육생물의 연령과 크기에 따른 황복의 선택적 포식효과를 조사하기 위하여 흰다리새우 Litopenaeus vannamei의 치하와 5개월산 황복, 중형 새우와 16개월산 황복으로 구분하여 원형수조($28.26\;m^2$)에서 사육실험을 실시한 결과, 치하와 5개월산 황복의 복합사육의 경우 건강새우와 감염새우의 생존율은 각각 89.1%, 46.0%였으며 중형새우와 16개월산 황복의 실험에서는 건강새우와 감염새우의 생존율이 각각 48%, 4%로서 모두 감염새우가 건강새우에 비해 생존율이 크게 떨어져 황복은 건강새우보다는 감염새우를 선택적으로 포식하는 것으로 나타났다. 황복은 크기에 관계없이 단위체중당 하루에 포식하는 새우의 총 중량은 크게 차이가 나지 않으며 새우의 크기와 밀도의 차이에 따라서도 차이를 보이지 않았다. 또한 황복은 감염새우를 선택적으로 포식하기는 하지만 감염새우가 부족할 경우에는 새우의 건강상태와는 무관하게 일정량의 새우를 포식하기 때문에 새우양식장에 황복을 넣을 때는 황복의 입식시기와 밀도 뿐 아니라 황복의 총중량도 충분히 고려되어야 한다.

The aim of this research was to determine the relationship between quality of puffer fish and soak time in maturing water. This research used the cutting cranial nerve method, which is called the MSK method. The data was analyzed using the SPSS program. Based on salinity analysis result, both moisture content and pH were measured after 20 min of soaking. As the salinity of the maturing water increased, the moisture content initially decreased then increased once the salinity was greater than 3%. However, the concentration of the maturing water did not influence the pH level. The texture properties were measured to assess the effect of soak time in the maturing water. Hardness of the sample was highest (3.99) at 20 min, and cohesiveness also showed a maximum value (0.26) at 20 min. Gumminess and chewiness were highest 1.04 and 4.09, respectively, when the fish was matured for 20 min. Sensory properties were evaluated, and springiness, umami flavor, texture, and overall preference were highest at 20 min of soak time. The results showed that maturing the puffer fish for 20 min provided the best quality of texture and sensory characteristics for the fish.

The toxicity of two species of puffer fish, Takifugu xanthopterus and T. stictonotus, collected from coastal regions of Korea, was determined using a mouse bioassay. The highest toxin scores in the muscle, skin, fins, and testis in both species were below 50 mouse units (MU) per gram, and for each organ of both species the proportion of toxic specimens containing ${\geq}10MU/g$ was less than about 10%. In T. xanthopterus, the highest toxin levels in the liver, gallbladder, and ovary exceeded 1,000 MU/g (1,275-1,910), while less than 200 MU/g (12-136) was detected in the same organs of T. stictonotus. Therefore, the toxicities of muscle, skin, and testis in both species of puffer fish were within acceptable levels for human consumption.

Experiments were performed to study the effects of diluents, cryoprotectant, equilibration time, thawing temperature and addition of BSA and egg yolk. Among the various diluents, Alsever's solution was the best for sperm cryopreservation. A combination of Alsever's solution and 15% ethylene glycol showed the better results than others did. Sperm activity indection and survival rate gradually decreased with the equilibration time. The appropriate thawing temperature was 30 ${\pm}1^{\circ}$C. These results indicate that sperm cryopreservation methods can be developed in tiger puffer.

This paper presents the results of a small capacitive current interruption test for the three types of interrupter which are called 'serial type', 'parallel/separated type' and 'puffer type' according to the arrangement of the thermal expansion chamber and the puffer cylinder. After the preconditioning test the small current interruption capability of the 'puffer type' decreased, on the contrary, that of the hybrid interrupters increased. A number of reignition have been occurred in the 'serial type' hybrid interrupter and the change of small current interruption capability after preconditioning test is mainly influenced by the structure of interrupter. Finally it has been proved that the 'parallel/separated type' hybrid interrupter has the best interruption performance through the verification tests.

During the last ten years the new interruption techniques, which use the arc energy itself to increase the pressure inside a chamber by the PTFE nozzle ablation, have displaced the puffer circuit breakers due to reduced driving forces and better maintainability. In this paper, we have investigated the thermal flow characteristics inside a thermal puffer type gas circuit breaker by solving the Wavier-Stokes equations coupled with Maxwell's equations for considering all instabilities effects such as turbulence and Lorentz forces by transient arc plasmas. These relative inexpensive computer simulations might help the engineer research and design the new interrupter in order to downscale and uprating the GIS integral.
