Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) known as environmental contaminants in soil were analyzed by the soil pollution standard process test and the static supercritical $CO_2$ extraction mode. It was shown that the percent average recoveries of PCBs by the soil pollution standard process test were ranged in 25-35% and the corresponding standard deviations were above 10%. In contrast, the percent average recoveries of PCBs by the static supercritical $CO_2$ extraction mode were 2-2.5 times higher and standard deviations were within 7%. These results indicate that static supercritical $CO_2$ extraction mode may be a useful alternative to sample pretreatment certified by the soil pollution standard process test. The increasing supercritical $CO_2$ pressure from 1130 psi to 1996 psi at $40^{\circ}C$ enhanced the recovery of all PCB congeners from soil. However, at same Tc and Pc, the equilibrium time (5 versus 60 minutes) had no effect on the recovery of each PCB congener. Finally, similar PCB recoveries were obtained under the same extraction condition, regardless of the molecular weight and structure (coplanar versus non-coplanar) of PCB congeners.

Avermectin B1(abamectin) is an very effective acaricide/insecticide. Because it is applied at low rates, the resultant residue level would be quite low and this requires highly sensitive analytical method. In this study, three analytical methods for avermectin $B1_a$, were compared in view of detectability and sensitivity. The first analytical method was an HPLC method employing the fluorescence detection of avermectin. The second analytical technique to quantitate avermectin $B1_a$, and its photodegradative delta 8,9-isomer employed trifluoroacetic anhydride and 1-methylimidazole in DMF. The new method was the modification of trifluorescence method. The average recoveries of avermectin $B1_a$ for the concentration range from 1 and 10 ng/g in whole apple fruit by fluorescence method were 90.3% and 88.2% respectively. In trifluorescence method, the recoveries of the avermectin $B1_a$ and delta 8,9-isomer were 100.7% and 94.7% in concentration from 5 ng/g and 25 ng/g. The average recoveries of 5 ng and 25 ng/g in the newly modified method were 95.0, 99.0. 96.0, 92.8% in whole apple and soil respectively.

A suitable method of sample treatments to minimize the analytical interferences was presented in order to determine bisphenols [bisphenol F (BPF), bisphenol A (BPA), bisphenol F diglycidyl ether (BFDGE), and bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BADGE)] in various canned beverages coated with epoxy resin by the reversephase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) equipped with a fluorescence detector and the gas chromatography with mass selective detection. The recovery test of bisphenols was performed using 1, 5, and 10 ${\mu}g/L$ bisphenols spiked beverages with the combined technique of the solid-phase extraction (SPE) and the liquid-phase extraction (LPE). Both BPA and BADGE showed quite adequate resolutions in HPLC-chromatograms. The recoveries of BPA obtained by LPE with diethyl ether were higher than those obtaind with methylene chloride on coffee, shikhye and fruit juice. For cola and tea, the recoveries of BPA obtaind by SPE were higher than those by LPE with diethyl ether. The recoveries of BADGE were less than those of BPA for all beverage samples treated by either SPE or LPE method. In survey of bisphenols for eighteen commercial canned beverage samples, BPA contents of coffee, cola, tea, shikhye, and fruit juice were in the range of $1.3{\sim}11.6,\;0.5{\sim}0.9,\;1.0{\sim}1.3,\;2.4{\sim}7.9$, and $3.0{\sim}3.4\;{\mu}g/L$, respectively, but there was no detection of BPA in beer sample.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the effect on the liver of guinea pig after administration of 4.5mCi per Kg. body wt. with iodine-131. The histological changes in the liver were degeneration of hepatic cells, congestion of sinusoids, dilatation of bile ducts, perivascular infiltration of lymphocytes, and dissociation of hepatic cords. A marked histological changes were produced after treatment for 14 days and the morphological recoveries were observed 28 days after the treatment.

A gas chromatographic procedure is described for the quantitative analysis of ephedrine hydrochloride, pseudoephediiiie hydrochloride and norephedrine hydrochloride in pharmaceutical preparations. The procedure was based upon the determination of thioureas formed from amines and phenylisothiocyanate. The recoveries of ephedrine, pseudoephedrine and norephedrine from pharmaceutical preparations were 100.7(S.E. 0.9), 99.5(0.8), 99.1(0.8) and 99.1%(O.9), respectively. The high accuracy and precision of this assay were inherent in the flame photometric detectors normally used in gas chromatography.

Cancer of the hypopharynx and cervical esophagus has been a major therapeutic challenge to many surgeons. Here, we report 3 cases of successful esophageal reconstruction by gastric pull-up and pharyngogastrostomy after pharyngolaryngoesophagectomy for hypopharyngeal malignancy. Postoperative recoveries were uneventful. Oral feeding was encouraged a week or two after the operation and all the patients were discharged without feeding problem.

A modified method is given for the precolumn derivatization and subsequent high-pressure liquid chromatographic seperation of 3-methylhistidine from urine. The elution contained isocratic solution with acetonirile and 10 M sodium phosphate(pH 7.5) requires less than 7 min. The recoveries of 3-methylhlstidine from urine control were 95% to 106%. 3-Methylhistidine determinations were performed on urine samples from volunteers who were both male trained and non-trained physical undergraduates. As the result, urinary .3-methylhistidine content of volunteers increased significantly after weight training.

Pesticide residues were extracted with 70% acetone and transferred to dichloromethane. Extracts were applied to open-column chromatography with florisil and alumina-N, The final extract was analyzed by gas chromatography with electron-capture detector(GC/ECD) and nitrogen-phosphorus detector(GC/NPD). Recoveries of the 17 organochlorine pesticides were ranged from 60.8 to 84.9% and those of 15 organophosphorus pesticides, from 70.5 to 100.0%(except phosmet and azinphos-methyl). The minimum detectable levels of this analytical method were low (0.021-0.058 mg/kg).

This experiment was carried out to determine the amount of organophosphorous pesticides accumulated in farmer's blood during the farming season. The Blood had been collected for about 5ml from farmer's, and extraction was purified on a Avicel/Darco G-Co (1:10) column and determined by Gas Chromatography using AFID supported on 2% EGA. The Gas chromatographic detection yielded recoveries from the blood of 88% for smithion 94% for malathion. The amount of average contamination shows 0.045ppm for smithion. 0.054ppm for malathion.
