The clinical condition Amnesia causes difficulty in learning new information and the inability to recall past events. It is primarily concerned with recent memory loss. Majoon-e-Nisyan (MJN) is a polyherbal Unani formulation, present in a semi-solid form. It is widely used potent drug of the Unani System of Medicine (USM) for treating Nisyan (amnesia). In the present study polyherbal Unani formulation, MJN has been studied for its quality control and acute toxicity. Standardization (quality control) of drugs deals with drug identity, drug quality and purity determination. Standardization of MJN had been done as per the Unani pharmacopoeial parameters approved by World Health Organization (WHO) - Pharmacognostical parameters, Physico-chemical parameters, high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC), microbial load, aflatoxin, and heavy metals. Solvents and chemicals used in the study were of analytical grade and used instrument were calibrated. By conducting an acute oral toxicity study in rats, the safety of MJN was assessed. The limit test method of OECD guideline 425 was followed in the study. Results of standardization and standard operating procedures (SOPs) for preparation of MJN may serve as the standard reference in the future. The data generated in the study for the quality control of MJN proved the quality of formulation and shows that MJN is not toxic in rats following acute dosing up to 2000 mg/kg bw. The data obtained in the paper for MJN may be used as a standard guideline for preparation of the formulation which can save time, cost, and resources for future research endeavours.

Currently the train operating environment to affect track irregularity is changed rapidly such as speed-up, linear improvement and rolling stack upgrade. The recent track maintenance criteria of track irregularity was quoted from past Japan's, and the needs of revision of criteria are increased because of the rapid change in train operating environment. In case of enhance the track irregularity criteria, it secure driving safety and riding comfort but maintenance cost are increase. And also decrease ballast durability by frequent corrective work. In case of mitigate the criteria, it decrease driving safety and riding comfort, but save the maintenance cost. The study for enacting rational criteria did not carry out so far. In this study, survey the domestic and international track irregularity and case study for track irregularity inspection results and maintenance history for guideline of enacting irregularity criteria study.

본 연구는 LC-MS/MS법을 적용하여 농산물에 함유된 pyridine계통의 제초제 Clopyralid의 잔류분석법을 확립하였다. 대표적인 농산물로는 귤, 고추, 대두, 감자 및 현미를 선정하였고 acetonitrile에 의해 추출된 성분을 QuEChERS법을 변경하여 정제법으로 사용하고 LC-MS/MS를 사용하여 분석법을 확립하였다. Clopyralid의 정량적 분석을 위한 최적 분석 조건을 확립하였으며, 검출한계는 0.001 mg/kg, 정량 한계(LOQ)는 0.01 mg/kg이었다. 각 대표 농산물에 대한 정량한계, 정량한계의 10배, 50배 수준에서 회수율을 검토한 결과 모든 처리 농도에서 81.7~105.8 %수준을 나타내었으며, 모든 수준에서 20 % 미만의 분석오차를 나타내어 잔류분석기준을 만족하였다. 본 연구에서 확립된 Clopyralid분석법은 검출한계, 회수율 및 분석오차에서 국제적 분석기준을 만족하는 분석법으로 농산물에 따라 정량분석법으로 사용 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

페놀은 보통 대기로 배출되며 반감기가 비교적 짧은 물질로서 환경에 농축되는 경우는 드물다. 하지만, 누출사고가 발생되어 수계나 토양에 오염될 경우 페놀에 오염된 농수산물의 안전성을 확보하기 위하여 페놀을 정확하게 검출할 수 있는 시험법을 확립하고자 하였다. 식품 중 페놀을 초음파추출기로 추출하고 GPC로 정제하여 GC/MS로 분석하는 시험법을 확립하였으며, 시험법의 유효성 확인을 위한 실험 결과들이 AOAC 가이드라인에서 제시하는 Criteria를 만족함으로써 시험법의 신뢰성을 확보할 수 있었다. 확립된 시험법은 식품 중 페놀의 오염조사 및 이행률 조사에 활용될 수 있다.

Since the Committee for Proprietary Medicinal Products (CPMP) of the European Union issued in 1997 a "points to consider" document for the assessment of the potential for QT interval prolongation by non-cardiovascular agents to predict drug-induced torsades de pointes (TdP), the QT liability has become the critical safety issue in the development of pharmaceuticals. As TdP is usually linked to delayed cardiac repolarization, international guideline (ICH S7B) has advocated the standard repolarization assays such as in vitro IKr (hERG current) and in vivo QT interval, or in vitro APD (as a follow up) as the best biomarkers for predicting the TdP risk. However, the recent increasing evidence suggests that the currently used above biomarkers and/or assays are not fully predictive for TdP, but also does not address potential new druginduced TdP due to the selective disruption of hERG protein trafficking to the cell membrane or VT and/or VF with QT shortening. There is, therefore, an urgent need for other surrogate markers or assays that can predict the proarrhythmic potential of drug candidate. In this review, we provide an ideal pre-clinical strategy to predict the potentials of QT liability and lethal arrhythmia of the drug candidates with recent issues in this field in mind, not at the expense of discarding therapeutically innovative drugs.

본 연구는 수산물 중 에톡시퀸 정량시험법을 확립하여 국내 생산 및 수입 양식 수산물에 대한 잔류할 수 있는 동물용의약품인 에톡시퀸에 대한 안전관리 강화기반을 위해 마련되었다. LC-MS/MS를 이용하여 신속하고 효과적으로 정량성 및 정밀성을 확보하였으며, 확립된 시험법의 선택성, 정량한계 및 회수율에 대한 검증을 통하여 에톡시퀸 시험법으로서의 유효성을 확인하였다. 표준용액을 정량한계를 포함한 농도에 따라 검량선을 작성한 결과 $r^2$> 0.99 이상의 직선성을 확인하였으며, 산성용매로 추출 후 MCX 카트리지를 이용해 정제하였다. 본 실험에서의 검출한계는 0.001 mg/kg, 정량한계는 0.01 mg/kg 수준이었고, 평균 회수율은 81.3~107%이었다. 또한, 분석오차는 10% 이하로 정확성 및 재현성이 우수하였으며, CODEX 가이드라인 규정에 만족하는 수준이었다. 따라서, 개발된 시험법은 안전한 국내유통 수산물과 국민보건을 위해 지속적인 잔류실태조사에 활용되고, 수산물 중 잔류동물용의약품의 안전관리에 기여할 것으로 판단된다.

이 연구는 고속도로에서 발생한 교통사고에 대한 기하구조의 영향을 알아보고자 시도되었다. 기하구조의 경우에는 지침 등에서 정하는 기준 권장값등이 있지만, 기존의 사고모형에서는 교통사고에 영향을 미치는 기하구조의 자료가 통합된 형태로 사용되어 혼합된 형태로 설치된 현실을 추정된 모형이 제대로 설명하지 못하는 단점이 있다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 기하구조를 기준값에 의해 세분화된 기하구조 자료를 사용함으로써, 현실을 반영한 모형을 추출하고자 하였다. 그리고 각 기하구조별 탄력성 분석을 통해 사고에 미치는 영향을 제시하였다. 이는 향후 교통안전을 고려한 기하구조의 지침 정립에 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다.

We developed analytical methods using high performance chromatography (HPLC) and liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for the simultaneous determination of 80 unapproved compounds in dietary supplements. The target compounds for analysis were unapproved ingredients (e.g., pharmaceuticals) that have potential adverse effects on consumers owing to accidental misuse, overuse, and interaction with other medication in dietary supplement. Two analytical methods were tested to identify the optimal validation results according to AOAC guideline. As a result, limit of quantification (LOQ) was 0.14-0.5 ㎍ mL^-1; linearity (r²) was ≥ 0.99; accuracy (expressed as recovery) was 78.9-114%; precision (relative standard deviation) was ≤ 4.28% in the HPLC method. In the LC-MS/MS method, LOQ was 0.01-2 ng mL^-1, linearity (r²) was ≥0.98, accuracy was 71.7-119%; precision was ≤ 12.5%. The developed methods were applied to 51 dietary supplements collected from 2019 to 2021 through MFDS alert system. Based on our previous monitoring study, major compounds were icariin, sibutramine, yohimbine, sildenafil, tadalafil, sennosides (A, B), cascarosides (A, B, C, D), and phenolphthalein. In this study, we re-analyzed samples of detected compounds, and evaluated the statistical difference using Bland-Altman analysis to compare two analytical approaches between HPLC and LC-MS/MS. These results showed a good agreement between two methods that can be used to monitor the unapproved ingredients in dietary supplements. The developed two methods are complementarily suitable for monitoring the adulteration of 80 unapproved compounds in dietary supplements.

Objectives: This study was designed to provide the information regarding chemicals classification and health hazard by evaluating the toxicological effect through repeated inhalation exposure of methyl acrylate(MA) in Sprague-Dawley(SD) rat for 13 weeks. Methods: According to the notification with Ministry of Labor(No. 2009-68) and OECD Test Guideline 413, the rats were exposed to MA at concentration of 0, 56, 168, 280 ppm via whole body inhalation for 6 hours per day, 5 days per week, for 13 weeks. All animals were observed for mortality, morbidity and the change of body weight and food consumption were determined during the exposure period. Necropsy finding, organ weight, hematology, clinical biochemistry and histopathological examination following exposure were also performed. Results: There were no death and abnormal clinical signs relate to exposure MA. However, At 160 ppm and 280 ppm exposure groups, body weight and food consumption showed statistically significant decrease and histopathological changes in lung, trachea, nasal cavity, larynx were observed. Conclusions: MA was mainly affected respiratory tract. It is consequently provided to be classified as category 2(0.2 mg/L/6h < category 2 ${\leq}$ 1.0 mg/L/6h) for specific target organ toxicity following repeated exposure according to Standard for Classification and Labeling of Chemical Substance and Material Safety Data Sheet. The NOAEL(no observable adverse effect level) of MA was also determined to be lower than 56 ppm.
