발암성 및 잔류성을 갖는 다환방향족탄화수소(Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, 이하 PAHs)의 법적인 규제가 공산품 함유에로 확장된 현황에서, 본 연구에서는 속슬렛 추출에 의한 전처리 및 GC-MS 분석에 의한 공산품에 함유된 18종 PAHs의 정량 분석법을 확립하고 공산품 4종에서의 18종 PAHs 함유 여부를 분석하였다. GC-MS SIM 크로마토그램의 머무름 시간 및 피크 면적의 정밀도는 각 0.00%~0.05% 및 1.16%~3.69%의 RSD로 측정되었고 각 PAH의 농도 범위 0.3125 mg/L~5.00 mg/L에서 얻은 검정곡선은 상관계수 $R^2$값이 18종 모두 0.999 이상으로 산출되었다. 본 검정곡선을 이용한 18 종 PAHs의 GC-MS 기기분석의 정량 한계는 0.327 mg/L (Benzo[ghi]perylene)~0.464 mg/L (Acenaphthylene)로 산출되었다. 스파이킹에 의한 18종 PAHs의 속슬렛 추출에 의한 회수율은 DCM, 헥세인, 혹은 톨루엔 사용 시 모두 95%~105%로 측정되었고, 이상의 조건에서 국내에서 유통되는 공산품 4종에서 18종 PAHs를 분석한 결과, 3개 시료에서는 Phenanthrene이 정량한계 근방의 소량으로 검출되었고, 망치(손잡이 부분) 시료에서는 Phenanthrene을 비롯한 15종 PAHs가 최대 83.4 mg/kg~최소 8.5 mg/kg 범위로 검출되었다.

Purpose: Globally, there is a high incidence of gastric cancer (GC). Leucine zipper-EF-hand containing transmembrane protein 1 (LETM1) is reported to play a vital role in several human malignancies. However, there is limited understanding of the role of LETM1 in GC. This study aims to investigate the effects of LETM1 on proliferation, migration, and invasion of GC cells. Materials and Methods: The expression levels of LETM1 in the normal gastric mucosal epithelial cells (GES-1) and GC cells were analyzed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blotting. CCK-8, wound healing, and Transwell invasion assays were performed to evaluate the effect of LETM1 knockdown or overexpression on the proliferation, migration, and invasion of the GC cells, respectively. Additionally, the effect of LETM1 knockdown or overexpression on GC cell apoptosis was determined by flow cytometry. Furthermore, the effect of LETM1 knockdown or overexpression on the expression levels of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway-related proteins was evaluated by western blotting. Results: The GC cells exhibited markedly higher mRNA and protein expression levels of LETM1 than the GES-1 cells. Additionally, the knockdown of LETM1 remarkably suppressed the GC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, and promoted the apoptosis of GC cells, which were reversed upon LETM1 overexpression. Furthermore, the western blotting analysis indicated that LETM1 facilitates GC progression via the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Conclusions: LETM1 acts as an oncogenic gene to promote GC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion via the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Therefore, LETM1 may be a potential target for GC diagnosis and treatment.

The herb of Agastache rugosa (Lamiaceae) called Korean mint as a spice or Agastache Herba as a crude drug is known to contain highly fragrant volatile substances. This research aimed to establish the quantitative gas chromatography (GC) method on the essential oil of A. rugosa using the three standard compounds, estragole, methyleugenol, pulegone, and to find whether the essential oil has anti-Alzheimer's activity. The GC quantification method was established by determining the linearity of calibration curve ($R^2$), linear range, and both limit-of-detection (LOD) and limit-of-quantification (LOQ). The $IC_{50}$ of the essential oil on the activities of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) were determined to be $69.06{\pm}0.26$ and $76.71{\pm}0.58{\mu}g/ml$, respectively.

Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and gas chromatography/headspace techniques(HS) and flame ionization detection (GC/FID) have been combined for determination of very polar compounds in water, including the widely used gasoline oxygenates and by-products. A relatively simple extraction method using a CAR/PDMS(75${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) SPME fiber was optimized for the routine analysis of gasoline oxygenates and by-products in groundwater and reagent water. A sodium chloride concentration of 25%(w/w) combined with an extraction time of 20 min provided the greatest sensitivity while maintaining analytical efficiency Replicate analyses in fortified reagent and groundwater spiked with microgram per liter concentrations of gasoline oxygenates and by-products indicate quantitative and reproducible recovery of these and related oxygenate compounds. Method dynamic range was 50$\mu\textrm{g}$ L-1 to 3000$\mu\textrm{g}$ L-1 for gasoline oxygenates and by-products.

The qualitative and quantitative analysis of MDMA and MDA in hair samples by GC/MS were reported. Hairs were collected from subjects aged 22-37 years, who were suspected of abusing MDMA. After washing with methanol, hair samples were cut into small pieces, extracted with methanol containing 1 percent hydrochloric acid for 20th, and the solution was evaporated. MDMA or MDA in the extract were determined by GC/MS using selected ion monitoring after derivatization with trifluoroacetic anhydride. (omitted)

Anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) are used illegally to enhance muscle development and increase strength and power. In this study, a reliable, and sensitive quantitative method was developed and validated using heptafluorobutyric acid anhydride (HFPA) derivatives for the simultaneous detection of prohibited AAS (testosterone [TS], boldenone [BD], 5α-estrane-3β,17α-diol [EAD]) using gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS). For processing the samples, solid phase extraction, methanolic hydrolysis, and liquid-liquid extraction were used. For detection using mass spectrometry, the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode was used with the electron ionization (EI) positive mode. The method was evaluated for selectivity, linearity, lower limit of quantification, intra- and inter-day precision, accuracy, and stability. The results showed that the method was accurate and reproducible for the quantitation of the three steroids. The developed method was finally applied to the analysis of a suspect gelding urine sample received from the Asian Quality Assurance Program (AQAP).

비료제품에는 의도적 혹은 비의도적으로 농약으로 등록된 indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) 및 indole-3-butyric acid (IBA)성분에 대한 잔류 가능성이 꾸준히 제기되고 있으나, 생장조정제가 아닌 비료제품에서 mg/L 수준의 옥신류 잔류분석법이 마련되어 있지 않았다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 생체시료에 미량 잔류하는 IAA 및 IBA 분석에 사용되어 온 liquid chromatography-mass/mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)와 gas chromatography-MS 기기분석법을 활용하여 농축 액상비료제품에 적용할 수 있는지 조사하였으며, 액상 비료제품에 적용 가능한 정밀기기 분석법을 개발하고자 하였다. 수용액 상태의 시료에서 식물 생장호르몬인 IAA와 IBA를 가장 손쉽게 정제할 수 있는 방법으로 hydrophile-lipophile balance (HLB) solid phase extraction를 활용하였으나, 제한된 조건에서 LC-MS/MS를 통한 정량분석은 적합한 회수율을 확보하지 못하였고, 정성분석만 가능함을 확인하였다. 반면, 비료제품 250배 희석액을 사용하여 HLB 정제, trimethylsilyl chloride을 이용한 methylation을 통한 GC-MS 분석에서는 검출한계 1.4 mg/L과 93-107%의 회수율로 액상 비료제품에서 IAA와 IBA 정량분석법을 확립할 수 있었다.

The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs) content in sewage sludge was determined by gas chromatography linked to ion trap mass spectrometry(GC/ITMS) with five deuterated PAHs as internal standards. The minimum detection limit was from 1.66 to 7.14 pg for individual PAH by GC/ITMS. For determining total PAHs(∑PAH) in sewage sludge 84 samples from 74 waste water treatment plants in whole country were analyzed. The average content of ∑PAH far whole samples was 3,289$\pm$3,098 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg, and ranged from 142 to maximum 20,102 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg. According to the number of population of the city, the areas were classified as five regions, ie. big, large, middle, small, and rural area in which the waste water treated plants were grown. The contents of PAHs were 4,689$\pm$5,503, 5,839$\pm$6,401, 3,725$\pm$2,053, 2,237$\pm$2,069, and 2,475$\pm$1,489 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg, in big, large, middle, small, and rural area, respectively.
