The influences of protease on the removal of various protein soils from cotton fabrics were studied. The human epidermal stratum corneum, hemoglobin and casein were used as protein soils. The soiled fabrics were denatured by steaming for 30 min. before washing and laundered using Terg-O-Tometer under washing conditions. The removal efficiency was evaluated by analysis of protein on the fabrics before and after washing by means of copper-Folin method. The relations between the removal and the characteristics of protease were discussed. Also the degradation of protein were examined by microscopy. The seperation of human epidermal stratum corneum after hydrolysis was examined by SDS-PAGE. The results obtained were as follow : 1. The protein from the soiled cotton fabric was removed effectively by adding protease. The removal of protein was increased in proportion to increasing of the enzyme concentration up to a certain point, but it began to decrease above the point. The removal effect was high in the order of casein>human epidermal stratum corneum>hemoglobin. Especially the protein was more effectively removed in ADS solution(pH 9.5) containing enzyme. 2. When protease was used with ADS. the removal of protein was efficiently showed in relatively short time(5~15min.) compared to using ADS only. It is due to the properties of this enzyme that reacts with very short time. 3. Even at low temperature the removal efficiency of enzyme was relatively higher compared with the activity of enzyme. The removal of protein soil was increased up to a maximum near $50^{\circ}C$, and then decreased. 4. The removal of protein by protease was improved with the increase of alkalinity in the pH range from 9.5 to 11.0 but it began to decrease above pH 11.0. 5. According to the increase of mechanical agitation, the removal effect was increased. But the removal efficiency of protease was more effective compared with the agitation in detergency. 6. According to the SDS-PAGE separation and micrograph it was confirmed that the human epidermal corneum was effectively hydrolysed by the enzyme added. So the fragments of protein were removed more efficiently by means of the interfacial reaction of AOS.

Pollution resulting from the discharge of textile dyes into water systems has become a major global concern. Because peroxidases are known for their ability to decolorize and detoxify textile dyes, the peroxidase activity of Vitreoscilla hemoglobin (VHb) has recently been studied. It is found that VHb and variants of this enzyme show great promise for enzymatic decolorization of dyes and may play a role in achieving their successful removal from industrial wastewater. The level of VHb peroxidase activity correlates with two amino acid residues present within the conserved distal pocket, at positions 53 and 54. In this work, sitedirected mutagenesis of these residues was performed and resulted in improved VHb peroxidase activity. The double mutant, Q53H/P54C, shows the highest dye decolorization and removal efficiency, with 70% removal efficiency within 5 min. UV spectral studies of Q53H/P54C reveals a more compact structure and an altered porphyrin environment (λ_Soret = 413 nm) relative to that of wild-type VHb (λ_Soret = 406), and differential scanning calorimetry data indicate that the VHb variant protein structure is more stable. In addition, circular dichroism spectroscopic studies indicate that this variant's increased protein structural stability is due to an increase in helical structure, as deduced from the melting temperature, which is higher than 90℃. Therefore, the VHb variant Q53H/P54C shows promise as an excellent peroxidase, with excellent dye decolorization activity and a more stable structure than wild-type VHb under high-temperature conditions.

When fossil fuels are burned they produce CO gas because of incomplete combustion. If the CO gas reacts with the hemoglobin in the red blood cells, it may result in death or sequelae. Generally, the CO gas is eliminated in the form of the $$$CO_2$ gas by the oxidation reaction over the platinum catalyst. In this study, the electrochemical CO removal was investgated by using the solid electrolyte cell reactor, the type of which was represented as reactants$/Pt/Y_2O_3-ZrO_2/Pt/Air$. If the overpotential was applied to the platinum working electrode, the conversion could be changed with the overpotential applied. It was found that the oxidation rate could be increased 2.8 times higher than that of the normal condition, i. e. under open circuit conditions when $P_{co}/P_{O_2}$ was 0.5 and overpotential was 0.9V. From these results, it is concluded that the reactor used in this study is more efficient than conventional catalytic reactors.

Tracheal granuloma, the most commonly reported sequela of pediatric tracheotomy. A variety of techniques are available for the management of tracheal granuloma. Potassium-titanyl-phosphate (KTP) laser has been previously established as an acceptable technique for removal of laryngeal surgery, which emits a green light with a wave length of 532 nm, which is well-absorbed by hemoglobin and can coagulate and vaporize tissue. The ability to deliver laser energy through a flexible glass fiber makes the technique convenient for use with a rigid bronchoscope, overcoming problems with intraluminal access encountered with earlier attempts at CO2 laser therapy for this problem. Another advantage of KTP laser is the avoidance of the risks and morbidity associated with an open procedure. We report our surgical technique KTP laser in the management of tracheal granuloma removal into the tracheostomy site. KTP laser is good tool for management of tracheal granuloma with low incidence of complications.

Heterotopic ossification (HO) around the hip joint is not uncommon following neurological injury. Often, surgical treatment is performed in patients with restricted motion and/or refractory pain due to grade III or IV HO according to Brooker classification. The major complication that occurs as a result of surgical HO removal is perioperative bleeding due to hyper-vascularization of the lesion. Here, we report a case of preoperative embolization in a 51-year-old male patient presenting with restricted bilateral hip range of motion (ROM) due to HO following a spinal cord injury. In the right hip without preoperative arterial embolization, massive bleeding occurred during surgical removal of HO. Thus, the patient received a transfusion postoperatively due to decreased serum hemoglobin levels. For surgery of the left hip, preoperative embolization of the arteries supplying HO was performed. Surgical treatment was completed without bleeding complications, and the patient recovered without a postoperative transfusion. This case highlights that, while completing surgical removal for ROM improvements, orthopedic surgeons should consider preoperative arterial embolization in patients with hip HO.

The OXYREX hollow fiber membrane oxygenator developed by joint work of KIST and Green Cross Medical company has been evaluated by experimental investigation and clinical application, In this oxygenator gas exchanges occur through small pores of 0.1pm size which are distributed on 70% of surface of polypropylene hollow fiber. The Oxyrex membrane oxygenator consists of 36 thousand hollow fibers and it has 3.3m2 of gas exchange surface. The Oxyrex membrane oxygenator has unique blood flow path: blood enters the oxygenator passes between the hollow fibers and exits through outlet ports, that provides low transmembrane pressure drop. In the animal experiment and in vitro investigations of Oxyrex oxygenator, it showed low transmembrane pressure difference, effective heat exchanger performance, stable gas transfer function and less blood trauma. The Oxyrex oxygenator been used from March, 1990, to October, 1990, in 40 patients undergoing open heart operations. In the clinical applications of Oxyrex, adequate oxygenation[PaO2, 283$\pm$70mmHg] and carbon dioxide removal[PaCO2, 27\ulcorner6mmHg]were maintained under the condition of FiO2: below 0.6, Hct; 25%, perfusion flow; 2.4 L/min, gas flow: 2.1 L/min. During maximum 365 minutes of cardiopulmonary bypass[CPB] time period, the Oxyrex oxygenator maintained stable condition of PaO2, PaCO2 respectively and it also kept low plasma hemoglobin level. The complement proteins C3 and CH50 were not significantly changed pre to post CPB. There were no complications related to the oxygenator during and after the CPB.

A comparison was made of the effects of selective ${\alpha_1}-adrenoceptor$ agonist phenylephrine and selective ${\alpha_2}-adrenoceptor$ agonist clonidine on endothelium-containing and endothelium-denuded rings of the rat aorta. In the case of phenylephrine, removal of endothelium increased sensitivity 2.5 fold at $EC_{50}$ level and maximum contractive response 1.4 fold. In the case of clonidine, which gave only 15% of maximum contractive response given to phenylephrine on endothelium-containing rings, removal of the endothelium increased sensitivity 5.6 fold at $EC_{50}$ level and maximum contractive response 5 fold, which was about 55% of that given by phenylephrine. In endothelium-denuded ring, phenylephrine-induced contraction tended to be more increased in tonic contraction than in phasic contraction as compared to that in endothelium-containing ring, while clonidine-induced contraction was monophasic and was increased only in tonic contraction. In the calcium-free solution or in the presence, of verapamil, contraction stimulated by clonidine was almost abolished while that stimulated by phenylephrine produced only phasic contraction. The depression of sensitivity to these agonists in rings with endothelium appeared to be due to the vasodepressor action of endothelium derived relaxing factor (EDRF), because hemoglobin, a specific blocking agent of EDRF, abolished this depression. It is unlikely that the endothelium-dependent relaxation was due to stimulation of release of EDRF, because clonidine did not produce endothelium-dependent relaxation in 5-hydroxytryptamine-precontracted ring even when its contractile action was blocked by the ${\alpha_1}-adrenoceptor$ antagonist, prazosin. When the efficacy of phenylephrine was reduced to about the initial efficacy of clonidine by pretreatment with dibenamine, the contraction-response curves for phenylephrine became very similar to the corresponding curves obtained for clonidine before receptor inactivation. In the dibenamine-treated rings, contraction of phenylephrine was abolished in calcium-free solution or in the presence of verapamil like that obtained for clonidine before receptor inactivation. These results suggest that EDRF spontaneously released from endothelium depress contraction more profoundly in a case of an agonist with low efficacy and the phenylephrine-induced contraction was totally dependent on extracellular calcium as was that obtained for clonidine when the efficacy of phenylephrine was reduced to that of clonidine by irreversible inactivation of ${\alpha_1}-adrenoceptor$ with dibenamine.

돼지고기 섭취가 카드뮴(Cd)에 중독된 흰쥐의 카드뮴 배설에 미치는 영향을 규명하고자 본 연구를 수행하였다. $CdCl_2$를 카드뮴 기준으로 AIN-76 purified diet에 다섯 수준(0, 25, 50, 100, 250 ppm)으로 혼합한 Cd 중독식이를 8주 동안 급여하여 임상적인 중독을 유발시킨 다음 다시 7주 동안 단백질 급원인 카제인을 돼지고기로 대체시킨 해독식이를 7주간 급여하여 돼지고기에 의한 해독효과를 대조구와 비교하였다. 8주 동안 Cd 중독 실험식이를 급여한 결과, 카드뮴 중독과 관련한 성장지연, 카드뮴의 표적장기인 신장무게의 증가와 헤마토크릿치(Ht)와 헤모글로빈 함량(Hb)이 감소하였다. 병리조직학적 검사 결과 육안병변에서 뚜렷한 임상적인 관찰 예가 나타났다. 카드뮴 급여를 중단하고 해독 실험 사료 급여 후 흰쥐의 체중은 급속하게 회복되었다. 즉 돼지고기 급여구의 흰쥐는 카제인 급여구의 흰쥐에 비해 평균체중이 약간 높았으나 유의적인 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 카드뮴 중독 시 Hb 함량과 Ht치는 카드뮴 농도에 상관하였으나 해독시에 모든 처리군에서 Hb 함량과 Ht치는 정상 범위의 수준으로 증가하여 처리군간에 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 간, 신장, 정소의 무게는 카드뮴 투여에 따라 점차로 낮아졌지만 체중에 따른 간의 비율과 신장의 비율은 카드뮴 투여에 의해 영향을 받지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 체중 100g 당 간의 무게는 250ppm 카드뮴 중독 후 해독 실험사료 급여시 돼지고기를 섭취한 처리군에서 가장 높았다. 카드뮴 섭취량이 높을수록 간과 신장에서의 축적량은 통계적으로 유의하게 차이가 있었고 신장에서의 축적 농도가 간에서 보다 약 2배 정도 높았다. 해독 시에는 간과 신장중의 카드뮴 함량이 감소하였으며 간에서의 Cd 제거 속도가 신장에서 보다 빠른 것으로 보여졌다. 카제인 섭취 군보다 돼지고기 섭취군에서 카드뮴의 축적이 더 낮았고 특히 신장에서의 카드뮴 축적 농도에 영향을 미치는 인자로서 카드뮴 뿐만 아니라 카드뮴과 돼지고기 섭취여부의 교호작용($Cd^{***}$, $Cd{\times}Pork^{***}$) 등이 나타났다. 카드뮴 중독시에 metallothionein(MT)는 Cd의 섭취량이 늘어남에 따라 증가하였지만 해독 시의 결과를 보면 MT합성은 돼지고기에 의해 영향을 받지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과에서 카드뮴의 해독과 관련하여 단백질 급원으로서 카제인을 돼지고기로 대체한 실험식이를 급여하였을 때 돼지고기 첨가군의 성장률이 높았고 Ht치 역시 정상범위로 회복되었다. 신장조직의 병리조직학적 검사 결과 Cd 50ppm 투여군에서부터 돼지고기 첨가군이 돼지고기 무첨가군에 비해 Cd에 의해 손상된 세포를 의미하는 세뇨관의 호염성이 현저하게 감소된 것으로 관찰됨으로서 돼지고기의 Cd 해독능이 유효한 것으로 평가되었다.

목 적 : 단일 기관에서 만성복막투석을 시행 받고 있는 소아 환자를 대상으로 후향적 단면연구를 시행하여 복막투석 방법에 따른 투석 결과의 차이가 있는지에 대하여 연구해 보고자 한다. 방 법 : 단일 기관에서 2004년과 2007년 사이에 복막투석을 시행 받았던 환자들 중 투석 후 3개월에서 15개월 사이에 복막투석 적절도에 대한 평가가 이루어졌던 35명의 환자를 대상으로 하였다. 연구 당시 시행하고 있던 복막투석 방법에 따라 CAPD 군, CCPD 군과 NIPD 군으로 환자들을 분류하였고 각각 17명, 13명, 5명의 환자들이 포함되었다. 각 군 사이에 항고혈압제를 복용하고 있는 환자 수, 체중, 신장 및 일반화학 검사와 혈색소 검사를 포함한 혈액 검사 결과의 차이가 있는지 비교 분석하였다. 투석 및 잔여 신기능을 통한 주간 $Kt/V_{urea}$, Ccr과 초여과양 및 소변량에 대한 비교 분석도 시행하였다. 표준 방법을 통한 복막평형검사를 시행하여 개인의 복막 투과성에 대해서도 알아보았다. 결 과 : 각 군 간에 항고혈압제를 복용하고 있는 환자의 비율, 체중과 신장 Z-score의 월간 변화 및 혈액검사 평균 수치의 차이는 유의하지 않았다. CAPD 군과 CCPD 군에서, 복막투석 및 잔여 신기능을 통한 주간 Kt/Vurea, Ccr 및 수분 배설 의 차이는 없었다. NIPD 군의 복막투석을 통한 주간 Ccr이 다른 두 군에서보다 유의하게 낮았지만, 잔여 신기능을 통한 보상으로 총 주간 Ccr에는 차이가 없었다. 복막 평형 검사 결과 저 투과성(low transporter) 및 저 평균 투과성(low average transporter)으로 분류되었던 환자들을 대상으로 비교하였을 때, CAPD를 통한 주간 Ccr이 CCPD를 통한 주간 Ccr 보다 유의하게 높았다. 결 론 : 본 연구의 결과를 토대로, 소아 만성복막투석 환자들에 있어서 투석 방법은 환자의 선호도에 의하여 자유롭게 선택될 수 있어야 할 것을 제안하는 바이다. 또한 초여과의 실패 및 부적절한 투석으로 투석 방법의 변경이 불가피한 상황에서, 복막 평형 검사는 투석 방법 변경이 적절이 이루어질 수 있도록 도와주는 귀중한 정보를 제공해 줄 것이다. 투석 방법 간의 명확한 비교를 위하여 향후 복막염의 빈도, 영양상태 및 장기간의 성장등 다양한 투석 성적을 비교하는 추가 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
