여러 크기의 이중실관 생물 반응기에서의 Aspergillus niger(KCTC 1232)를 이용한 구연산 생산 실험을 수행하였다. 초종 세포농도는 세포 성장구간 기준으로 300g/l에 달하였다. 공기와 산소의 공급 조건하에서의 단위 용적당의 생산성은 각각 0.63, 0.02g/l.h였고 이는 회분식 발효에 대해 10, 16배 증가한 결과이다. 공급배지의 초기 pH는 구연산의 생산에 중요한 요소이며 pH가 낮을수록 높은 구연산 생산수율을 얻을 수 있었다. Scale-up의 가능성을 알아보기 위해 반응기 unit와 배지의 공급속도를 변화시킨 결과 반응기 unit와 배지 공급속도의 증가는 기질의 높은 소비속도로 인해 생산성의 증가를 가져왔다.

A commercial NiO (green nickel oxide, 86 wt% Ni) powder was reduced using a batch-type fluidized-bed reactor in a temperature range of 500 to $600^{\circ}C$ and in a residence time range of 5 to 90 min. The reduction rate increased with increases in temperature; however, agglomeration and sintering (sticking) of Ni particles noticeably took place at high temperatures above $600^{\circ}C$. An increasing tendency toward sticking was also observed at long residence times. In order to reduce the oxygen content in the powder to a level below 1% without any sticking problems, which can lead to defluidization, proper temperature and residence time for a stable fluidized-bed operation should be established. In this study, these values were found to be $550^{\circ}C$ and 60 min, respectively. Another important condition is the specific gas consumption rate, i.e. the volume amount ($Nm^3$) of hydrogen gas used to reduce 1 ton of Green NiO ore. The optimum gas consumption rate was found to be $5,000Nm^3/ton$-NiO for the complete reduction. The Avrami model was applied to this study; experimental data are most closely fitted with an exponent (m) of $0.6{\pm}0.01$ and with an overall rate constant (k) in the range of 0.35~0.45, depending on the temperature.

구연산을 생산하고자 캡슐 내부에 A. niger를 고 정화하여 배양하는 경우 곰팡이가 뻗어나와 캡슐 벽 면위에서 성장하게 된다. 배지중의 탄소원이나 산소 가 부족하면 캡슐벽 밖에 나온 균사가 느슨하게 자라게 되며 탄소원과 산소가 충분하면 캡슐벽 밖의 균사는 단단하게 뭉쳐지며 생산성과 생산수율이 매 우 높아진다. 즉 배지의 단위 부피당 적절한 캡슐수 가 존재한다. 배양중에 캡슐막이 팽창하는 현상은 배지중에 $CaCl_2$를 첨가함으로써 방지할 수 있다. 배 지중에 $CaCl_2$를 첨가하는 시기에 따라 생산성은 영향을 받으며, 배양초기에 $CaCl_2$를 첨가하는 경우보 다 배양 7일째에 $CaCl_2$를 첨가하는 경우가 생산수율 이 약 40% 정도 증가하였다. 고정화 캡슐을 이용하 여 플라스크 배양으로 구연산을 생산하는 경우 생산 수율은 산소공급에 큰 영향을 받는다. Parafilm으로 밀봉된 플라스크 대신 산소공급이 원활한 T -flask를 사용하면 생산량은 11배 생산수율(${\Delta}p/{\Delta}s$)은 3.8배 증가하였다. A. niger를 캡슐에 고정화 배양하여 구 연산을 생산하는 경우는 bead에 고정화 배양하여 생산하는 경우보다 6일째부터 13일째 사이에 평균 30 % 이상의 구연산 생산량 증가가 있었다.

왕복 요동 교반조의 액체 표면에서의 산소 전달 속도에 대해 연구하였다. 왕복 요동 교반조의 소요 동력은 선회요동 교반조와는 달리 요동 주파수에 비례하지 않았으며, 교반조 내의 유동양상이 선회요동의 선회류와는 다른 좌우 물결류인 관계로 어떤 진동수에서 갑자기 액면이 크게 흔들리며 움직이는 양상을 보이며. 3 s-1 이상의 요동 주파수부터는 소요 동력이 선회요동 교반조보다 적어지는 등 요동 주파수가 소요 동력에 미치는 영향은 매우 복잡하였지만, 생성되는 회전류의 범위에서의 왕복 요동 교반조 소요 동력은 회전 요동 교반조에 대해 보고된 식으로 상관시킬 수 있었다. 왕복요동 교반조에서의 kLa (물질이동 용량계수) 역시 교반 소요 동력이 단순한 형태로 소비되지 않았기 때문에 주파수의 증가에 따라 선형으로 증가하는 선회요동 교반조의 kLa와는 달리 복잡한 형태로 증가하였다. 왕복요동 교반의 kLa가 선회요동 교반의 kLa 보다 컸으며, kLa 값이 커질수록 그 차이도 급격히 커졌다. 결과적으로 왕복 요동에서의 산소 전달 속도는 회전 요동보다 컸으며, 단위 부피당 소요 동력과 상관시킬 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study was to compare the anaerobic threshold (AT) between subjects with and without non-specific chronic low back pain (NCLBP). The patient group included 15 women with NCLBP. The normal group included 15 women without NCLBP who were age-, height-, weight-, and activity level-matched. The subjects performed a Balke treadmill protocol which was symptom-limited progressive loading test. Their heart rate (HR), ventilatory gas and metabolic equivalents (METs) were measured using the automatic breath gas analyzing system. After the test, each subjects' ratings of perceived exertion (RPE) were evaluated. The visual analog scale (VAS) was assessed pre- and post-test. The independent t-test and Wilcoxon's signed-rank test were used for analysis of the data. Time, HR, the volume of oxygen consumption ($VO_2$), relative $VO_2$, and METs at the AT level of the patient group were significantly lower than those of the healthy group (p<.05). However, there were no significant differences in RPE, VAS, and breathing frequency at the AT level (p>.05). The findings of this study indicate that patients with NCLBP had a lower aerobic fitness than healthy subjects. Thus, implementation of rehabilitation program to increase aerobic fitness may be considered in patietns with NCLBP, and further studies are required to determine the etiological factors of decreased aerobic fitness.

This study examines the effects of a rehabilitation program on quality of life (QOL), cardiopulmonary function and fatigue during radiotherapy for breast cancer patients. The program includes aerobic exercise, stretching and strengthening exercises. Sixty-five women participated in this study and they were asked to perform supervised exercises that last for 60 minutes five times a week for six weeks. The European organization for research and treatment of cancer-cancer (EORTC QLQ-C30) and the breast (EORTC QLQ-BR23), predicted maximal volume of oxygen consumption ($VO_{2max}$) and fatigue severity scale (FSS) were assessed before and after the rehabilitation program. The 60-minute program consisted of a 10-minute warm-up, 30-minute of aerobic exercises, and 15-minute of strengthening exercises, followed by a five-minute cool-down. Heart rates were monitored throughout the exercise class to ensure that patients were exercising at the target heart rate of 40~75% of the age-adjusted heart rate maximum. There were statistically significant differences in the changes of physical function and cancer related symptoms in the EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC QLQ-BR23 (p<.05). There was a statistically significant improvement in the predicted $VO_{2max}$ (p<.05), although there were no significant differences in the FSS (p>.05). The results of our study suggest that a supervised rehabilitation program may benefit the physical aspects and QOL of patients receiving radiotherapy for breast cancer.

Because of the limitations of maximal load tests for $VO_2max$, submaximal tests using cycle ergometer are used for field study in general. This study was conducted to evaluate validity of various submaximal tests using cycle ergometer. This study had been conducted during May to June 2005, which subjects were 15 males and 15 females in twenties. Experiment was performed with restrictive conditions which regulated ambient temperature, noise, and entrance restriction. Submaximal load test protocols including YMCA Protocol (YP), ${\AA}strand$-Rhyming Protocol (ARP), Relative heart ratio Protocol (RP), and Ramp test Protocol (RP) were compared with maximal load test which used gas mask analyser using Bruce Protocol. All submaximal load tests were highly related with maximal load test (Spearman's correlation coefficient > 0.60) with statistical significancy. The highest correlation coefficient with maximal test was found in RP. Three submaximal test results except RP were significantly different with maximal test results (Wilcoxon rank test). All submaximal tests had high validity. The reason why RP had highest validity might be that it represents Korean physical strength and individual differences better than the others. RP using cycle ergometer would make easy to study for physical capacity evaluation and field workload estimation.

Background: Farinelli breathing (FB) exercise is a typical breathing exercise used by singers. This study aimed to compare effects of FB exercise and diaphragmatic breathing (DB) exercise on respiratory function and symptoms in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods: Sixteen patients aged 51-80 years with mild or moderate COPD were recruited for this study. They were divided into two groups: DB group (n=8) and FB group (n=8). Both groups received complete breathing exercise training five times per week for 8 weeks. Their respiratory functions, COPD symptoms, cytokine levels, and oxidative stress variables were analyzed during pre- and post-tests. Dependent variables were compared between pre- and post-tests using paired t-tests. An independent t-test was used to compare variables between the groups. Differences were considered significant at p<0.05. Results: The maximal expiratory pressure (MEP), maximum oxygen consumption (VO₂max), and COPD Assessment Test (CAT) scores changed significantly in the DB group after the 8-week intervention compared to those at pre-test, whereas force vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in the first second, maximum voluntary ventilation, maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP), MEP, VO₂max, CAT score, tumor necrosis factor-α, and malondialdehyde level changed significantly in the FB group at post-test compared to those at pre-test. Moreover, both MIP and MEP in the FB group were significantly higher than those in the DB group. Conclusion: FB exercise improved respiratory functions and COPD symptoms of patients with COPD. It might be an alternative breathing exercise in pulmonary rehabilitation programs for patients with COPD.

Circulatory and respiratory activities were observed in men exposed to the environment of engine room of a cruising Republic of Korea Navy ship and compared to the control values obtained in an ordinary laboratory room on land. The environment of an engine room of cruising navy ship was presumed to be a multiple stress acting on men. The environment of the engine room included high temperature $(35-42^{\circ}C)$, low relative humidity (20-38% saturation), vibration (about 7 cycles per second), rolling and pitching of ship and noises. Sixteen men were divided into two groups consisted of each 8 subjects. Subjects of sea duty group had experience of continuous on board duty averaging 3.5 years. Men of land duty group had no experience of on board activity. On land observations were made on one day prior to the boarding and leaving the port and four days after landing. In between observations in the engine room were made on the first, 5 th, 9 th, 12 th, and 14 th day of on board activity. The whole experimental period lasted for 20 days. Measurements on circulatory and respiratory parameters were at standing resting state (after 30 minutes standing in the case of on land study and 15 minutes in engine room study) and within one minute after cessation of on the spot running of which rhythm was 30/min. and lasted for 5 minutes. Oxygen consumption and pulmonary function test were done in the period of two minutes from the 3rd to 5th minutes of running. The following results were obtained. 1. Body temperature showed no change regardless of group difference or on land or on board measurements. 2. Pulse rate increased markedly after boarding the ship id both groups. Pulse rate increased from the first day on board at rest and after exercise as compared to the on land control value. This increase in pulse rate was more marked after exercise. Sea duty group showed less increase in pulse rate at rest than the land duty group. Standing and resting pulse rate of sea duty group on lam was 81 and increased to 87 at the 5th day on board and remained smaller than the land duty group throughout the period on board. Control standing and resting pulse rate of land duty group on land was 76 and reached 89 at the 9th day on board and thereafter decreased a little. Pulse rate of land duty group at rest on board remained greater than that of sea duty group throughout the period on board. 3. Systolic blood pressure of sea duty group increased after boarding the ship and remained higher than the control value on land. In the land duty group, however, systolic blood pressure decreased during the period on board the ship. Diastolic blood pressure decreased in both groups. 4. Resting breathing rate of land duty group increased and remained higher than the control value on land. In sea duty group, however, resting breathing rate showed a transient increase on the 1st day on board and decreased thereafter to the control value on land and kept the same level throughout the period of cruise. Absolute value of breathing rate in the sea duty group was greater than the land duty group both at rest and after exercise. 5. There was a lowering of breathing efficiency in both groups. Thus, increases in tidal volume and minute ventilation volume and decreases in maximum breathing capacity, vital capacity, capacity ratio and air velocity Index were observed after boarding the ship. An increase in ventilation equivalent was also observed in both groups. The lowering of breathing efficiency was more marked in the land duty group than the sea duty group. 6. Energy expediture increased in both groups during their stay on the ship and was more marked in the sea duty group. 7, Lactate concentration in venous blood at rest and after exercise increased after boarding the ship and no group difference was observed.

배 경 : 폐기종의 중증도 판정에 있어서 병리학적 기준은 기강(air space)의 확장 정도에 있으며, 이는 고해상도 전산화 촬영 (high resolution computed tomography, HRCT)에 의해 결정되는 폐기종 점수(emphysema scoring)와 좋은 상관성을 보인다는 것은 주지의 사실이다. 한편 폐기종의 주증상은 운동성 호흡곤란이므로 폐기종에 대한 임상적 평가는 운동능력의 감소를 측정하는 것이 타당하다고 알려져 있다. 그러나 대개의 경우 폐기종의 중증도 판정은 안정시 폐기능 검사에 의존하는 경우가 흔하며, 병리학적 중증도 판정과 상관성이 높다고 알려져 있는 고해상도 전산화 촬영에 의한 폐기종 점수와 운동부하 폐기능검사 지표들과의 상관성 여부에 대한 연구는 드문 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 폐기종의 중증도 판정에 있어서 HRCT와 안정시 폐기능 검사 및 운동부하 폐기능 검사간에 상호 관련성을 확인하여 보았다. 방 법 : 평균 연령 $60.6{\pm}10.3$세인 14명의 폐기종 환자들을 대상으로 HRCT, 안정시 폐기능 검사(forced expiratory flow volume curve, lung volumes by He dilution method, DLco, ABGA), 그리고 점진적운동부하폐 기능검사(incremental cycle ergometer)를 시행하였으며 HRCT는 GE highlight를 이용하여 조영증강 없이 최대흡기시에 1.5mm collimation, 10mm 간격으로 폐전체를 스캔하였고, 환자마다 모든 스캔에서 density mask를 이용하여 -400 HU를 기준으로 한 총폐면적과 -900 HU를 기준으로 한 폐기종 면적을 각각 구하여 백분율로 환산하여 폐기종 점수를 구하였다. 결 과 : 평균 폐기종 점수는 $37.4{\pm}14.9%$ 이었다. 폐기종 점수와 안정시 폐기능 검사의 DLco(r=-0.75)와 $PaO_2$(r=-0.66) 사이에서만 유의한(p<0.05) 상관성이 관찰되었다. 반면 폐기종 점수와 운동부하폐기능 지표들간의 상관성은 최대 산소섭취량(r=-0.68), 혐기성 역치(V-slope method, r=-0.690), 최대운동부하(r=-0.74), 최대운동시 $O_2$ pulse(r=-0.73), 최대운동시의 생리적 사강비율 (r=0.80) 등과 높은 유의성 (p<0.01)을 나타내었다. 그러나 호흡예비율과 심박수 예비율간에서는 유의한 상관성이 없었고, pulse oxymeter로 측정한 산소포화도와의 상관성도 유의하지 않았다. 결 론 : 이상의 결과에서 폐기종의 병리학적 중증도를 잘반영한다고 알려진 HRCT 폐기종 접수는 폐기종에 의한 생리학적 장애를 잘 반영하는 운동부하 폐기능 검사의 주요 지표들과 유의한 상관성이 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.
