  • 본 연구에서는 우리나라에서 재배된 과채류 8작물 중 유기인계 농약의 잔류량을 모니터링 한 후 급성 및 만성 노출평가를 시행하고 독성등가치를 이용하여 누적 및 통합노출량을 산출하고 그 위해성을 확인하였다. 과채류 8종에서 검출된 유기인계 농약은 chlorpyrifos, EPN, methidathion, phosphamidon 4종이었다. 급성평가인 NESTI의 누적량은 가지, 토마토, 호박, 오이 순으로 높게 나타났다. 또한, 만성 노출평가의 제1단계로 과채류 8종의 총 TMDI는 ADI의 76.14%에 해당하였으며, 만성 노출평가의 제2단계인 NEDI의 총 노출량은 ADI 대비 13.949%에 해당하였다. 만성 노출평가의 제3단계로 과채류 8종 섭취에 따른 노출량을 확률적으로 평가한 결과, 총 노출량이 ADI 대비 0.0001%로 매우 낮게 나타났다. 이상의 결과를 볼 때 우리나라 일반인이 과채류 8종을 섭취함으로써 유기인계 농약에 노출되는 수준은 매우 안전한 것으로 확인되었다. 향후 대상작물을 농산물 전체로 확대하고 대상집단을 어린이와 같은 subgroup으로 추가할 필요가 있을 것으로 생각된다.

  • Toxocara vitulorum has been rarely reported in yaks at high altitudes and remote areas of Sichuan Province of Tibetan Plateau of China. The current study was designed to investigate the prevalence, associated risk factors, and phylogenetic characteristics of T. vitulorum in yak calves on the Qinghai Tibetan plateau. Fecal samples were collected from 891 yak calves and were examined for the presence of T. vitulorum eggs by the McMaster technique. A multivariable logistic regression model was employed to explore variables potentially associated with exposure to T. vitulorum infection. T. vitulorum specimens were collected from the feces of yaks in Hongyuan of Sichuan Province, China. DNA was extracted from ascaris. After PCR amplification, the sequencing of ND1 gene was carried out and phylogenetic analyses was performed by MEGA 6.0 software. The results showed that 64 (20.1%; 95% CI 15.8-24.9%), 75 (17.2; 13.8-21.1), 29 (40.9; 29.3-53.2), and 5 (7.6; 2.5-16.8) yak calves were detected out to excrete T. vitulorum eggs in yak calve feces in Qinghai, Tibet, Sichuan, and Gansu, respectively. The present study revealed that high infection and mortality by T. vitulorum is wildly spread on the Qinghai Tibetan plateau, China by fecal examination. Geographical origin, ages, and fecal consistencies are the risk factors associated with T. vitulorum prevalence by logistic regression analysis. Molecular detection and phylogenetic analysis of ND1 gene of T. vitulorum indicated that T. vitulorum in the yak calves on the Qinghai Tibetan plateau are homologous to preveiously studies reported.

  • Objective: The aim of this study was to find risk factors in cultivating ginseng based on risk assessments and suggest safety measures for main risks. Background: Safety education and training is one of the practical and effective methods to prevent occupational accidents and injuries. In agricultural sector, there are few contents of safety education as compared to other industries. Especially, farm work has different cultivation characteristics according to the crops, so it needs special education materials for each crop. Among the various types of crops, ginseng contains various risk factors due to its long cultivating period and unique environment. Therefore, safety education material specified for ginseng is necessary to improve ginseng farmers' safety. Method: Risk assessment for cultivating tasks of ginseng was carried out through data obtained from various methods (site survey, interview, literature survey). To improve objectivity, the risk assessment was applied with 3-criteria (researcher estimate, interview, previous research results). Finally, the three high-risk tasks were selected and safety measures for those tasks were provided. Results: Three tasks, such as 'Mounting, maintenance and removing supports', 'Pest control' and 'Harvest', were selected as risky tasks among total tasks. (1) In 'Mounting' and maintenance and removing supports', the farmers found to be exposed to the risks of musculoskeletal disorders and accidents related to operating the tablet machine. (2) In 'Pest control', agrichemical poisoning, musculoskeletal disorders and hyperthermia were main risks. Finally, (3) In 'Harvest', the farmers are mainly exposed to the possibility of accidents of agricultural machines and risks of musculoskeletal disorders. Thus, it needs to apply appropriate safety measures to those risky tasks, such as safety guidelines, convenience equipment, protective kit, and so on. Conclusion: This study can be used as basic data for agricultural safety and expected that it would be useful for further study. In addition, the results of the research will be produced in the form of animation, which will enhance the safety consciousness for aged farmers. Application: The result of this study can be used in developing safety education materials for ginseng farmers which is essential to prevent occupational accidents and injuries among ginseng farmers.

  • 국내에서 생산되는 과일 중 농약의 잔류특성과 인체에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위하여 2010년 사과, 복숭아, 배, 포도, 감귤에 대한 농약잔류 모니터링을 수행한 후 잔류농약의 검출량과 위해성지수를 이용하여 안전성을 평가하였다. 시료는 2-5지역의 주산단지에서 채취하였으며, 시료 중 잔류농약을 LC/MS/MS를 이용하여 분석하였다. 사과의 경우 acetamiprid 등 18종의 농약성분이 검출되었고 총 위해지수가 0.55로 위해우려 수준은 아니었으나 조사한 과일 중 가장 높았다. 감귤의 경우는 carbendazim 등 17종의 농약성분이 검출되었으며, 위해지수는 0.37이었다. 복숭아, 포도 및 배는 각각 12, 10, 8종의 농약이 검출되었으나 위해지수는 0.066, 0.025, 0.008로 낮은 것으로 평가되었다. 따라서 국내에서 생산되는 사과, 복숭아, 배, 포도, 감귤 중의 잔류농약에 의한 위해성은 낮은 것으로 판단되었다.

  • High blood cholesterol levels and oxidized cholesterol are risk factors for cardiovascular disease, which displays high annual incidence. Although studies on sericulture products, including pupae, silk protein, and blood lymph, as hypocholesterolemic substances have been reported, insufficient research in this field has been focused on silkworm larvae. Six larval extracts (Low temperature distilled water, LW; hot temperature distilled water, HW; and 30-100% ethanol, E30-E100) were prepared, and their effects on cholesterol metabolism were examined. LW most potently reduced the risk of cholesterol-related disorders. Polyphenols were highly represented in LW, corresponding with its increased antioxidant potency. The cholesterol biosynthesis enzyme, 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR) was strongly inhibited by LW. Hepatocytes over-expressed LDL receptor (LDLR) after LW stimulation, promoting cholesterol elimination from plasma. LW also increased ATP binding cassette transporter 1 (ABCA1) gene expression, upregulating HDL biogenesis. In conclusion, LW exhibited strong antioxidant activity, suppressed cholesterol biosynthesis, improved LDL uptake from plasma, and upregulated HDL biosynthesis. In aggregate, these activities could reduce blood cholesterol levels and prevent cardiovascular disease.
