No effective antiviral therapy is proven yet, but clinical use of ribavirin (RBV) has been tried. We investigated the antiviral effect of RBV against SFTSV in vitro. Methods: To test for cytotoxicity of RBV, Vero cells were treated with different concentrations of RBV (3.90 to 500 μg/mL, two-fold dilution) and analyzed by cell viability MTS assay 48h post-infection. To determine antiviral activity of RBV against SFTSV, Vero cells were infected with SFTSV strain Gangwon/Korea/2012 at 100 TCID50 (50% tissue culture infective dose) per well in a 96-well plate, and RBV was added at the concentrations showing no or minimal cytotoxicity. Viral RNAs were extracted from the culture supernatants and quantifi ed using one-step real-time reverse transcription- PCR to amplify the partial large segment of SFTSV. Statistical analysis was done by one-way ANOVA with Tukey`s post hoc test. Results: Cytotoxicity due to RBV was not observed at RBV concentration =31.3 μg/ mL. Viral RNAs at 24h post-RBV treatment were reduced with increasing RBV concentrations (1-32 μg/mL), compared with those of mock-treated cells (P <0.01, Figure). Half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of RBV was 3.69 μg/mL at 24h post-RBV treatment. Conclusions: Our study shows that RBV has antiviral effect against SFTSV in a dose-dependent manner. Further studies are required to evaluate the effi cacy of RBV in SFTS.

Background and Purposes: Over the past three decades, numerous studies performed in Korea have reported that job stress is a determinant risk factor for chronic diseases and work disability. Every society has its own culture and occupational climate particular to their organizations, and hence experiences different occupational stress. An occupational stress measurement tool therefore needs to be developed to estimate it objectively. The purpose of this study is to develop and standardize the Korean Occupational Stress Scale (KOSS) which is considered to be unique and specific occupational stressors in Korean employees. Subjects and Methods: Data were obtained from the National Study for Development and Standardization of Occupational Stress (NSDSOS Project: 2002-2004). A total of 12,631 employees from a nationwide sample proportional to the Korean Standard Industrial Classification and the Korean Standard Occupational Classification were administered. The KOSS was developed for 2 years (2002-2004). In the first year, we collected 255 items from the most popular job stress measurement tools such as JCQ, ERI, NIOSH and OSI, and 44 items derived from the a qualitative study (depth interview). Forty-three items of KOSS, in the second year, were retained for use in the final version of the KOSS by using Delphi and factor analysis. Items were scored using conventional 1-2-3-4 Likert scores for the response categories. Results: We developed eight subscales by using factor analysis and validation process: physical environment (3 items), job demand (8 items), insufficient job control (5 items), interpersonal conflict (4 items), job insecurity (6 items), organizational system (7 items), lack of reward (6 items), and occupational climate (4 items). Together they explained 50.0% of total variance. Internal consistency alpha scores were ranged from 0.51 to 0.82. Twenty-four items of the short form of the KOSS (KOSS-SF) were also developed to estimate job stress in the work setting. Because the levels of the subscales of occupational stress were gender dependent, gender-specific standard norms for both the 43-item full version and the 24-item short form using a quartile for the subscales of KOSS were presented. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that KOSS might be an appropriate measurement scale to estimate occupational stress of Korean employees. Further and more detailed study needs to be conducted to improve the validity of this scale.

김금조,김진섭,김원사,최진범 한국광물학회 2003 광물과 암석 (J.Miner.Soc.Korea) Vol.16 No.1

보석으로 사용되고 있는 파이로프-알만딘 계열의 보석을 대상으로 하여 이들의 화학성분, 결정구조, 굴절율, 비중, 색, 광택 등의 광물학적 성질을 알아보았다. 또한 위 고용체의 광물학적 성질이 화학성분의 치환 정도에 따라 점이적인 변화 양상이 나타났는지에 대해서도 연구하였고, 발색소에 대한 연구를 실시하였다. 특별히 보석업계에서 관행적으로 분류 기준으로 삼아온 굴절율과 비중 값이 광물학적으로 오류가 없는 것인지를 검증하는 것 등도 주요 연구목적에 포함되었다. 적색 석류석 시료 중 화학성분은 따른 분류기준에 의하면 17개가 파이로프이며, 6개가 알만딘임을 알수 있다. 파이로프의 굴절율은 1.77까지이며, 알만딘은 그 이상임을 알 수 있으며, 비중은 파이로프인 경우 3.88까지의 범위이며, 파이로프는 적어도 4.11 이상임을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 보석업계에서 파이로프와 알만딘을 구분하여 온 굴절율 기준(R.1. 1.75)은 오류이며, 비중값 기준 (S.G. 3.88)은 무난한 것으로 밝혀졌다. 단결정 X-선회절분석 결과에 따르면, 파이로프-알만딘 석류석이 모두 등축정계의 Ia3d 공간군에 속하며, 화학성분의 변화에 따른 단위포의 크기는 변화를 느낄 정도의 차이는 없었다. 또한 굴절율과 비중은 파이로프-알만딘 고용체에 있어 특히 FeO 함량에 따라 일정한 변화양상을 나타내는데, FeO의 함량이 증가할수록 굴절율과 비중이 증가함을 알 수 있다. 화학분석 자료에 의하며, 적색 및 보라색은 Fe^(+2), 황색은 Mn^(+2) 함량에 따라 크게 좌우됨을 알 수 있다. 적색 석류석내에 들어있는 결정 내포물은 주로 저어콘과 금홍석이었다. Chemical composition, crystal structure, refractive index, specific gravity, color, and luster were studied for pyrope-almandine series garnets. The main coloring agents determining the reddish or brownish garnets were also investigated. It was also examined if there is any relationship between mineralogical properties with respect to the various chemical compositions in the solid solution, in the hope to figure out the existing classification values of R.I. and S.G. using gemtesting facilities to distinguish pyrope from almadine. It was found that 17 out of the 24 specimens belong to pyrope and the rest almandine. R.I. of pyrope goes up to 1.77 and that of almandine is higher than the value. S.G. of pyrope reaches to 3.88 and that of almandine is greater than the value of pyrope. X-ray diffraction data revealed that pyrope-almandine garnets are isometric with space group Ia3d , and also show that the variation of cell parameters are not significant enough to parallel with the chemical compositions of the series. R.I. and S.G. increase with FeO content. Fe and Mn are most responsible to the red-purple and orange coloration of the specimens, respectively. Both zircon and rutile crystals are most common inclusions in the reddish stones.

In recent years, gonorrhea has been pandemic and remains one of the most common STDs in the world, especially in developing countries. For the detection of a more effective therapeutic regimen and assessing the prevalence of Penicillinase Producing Neisseria gonorrhoeae(PPNG), we have been trying to study the patients who have visited the Venereal Disease Clinic of Choong-Ku Public Health Center in Seoul since 1980 by menas of the chromogenic cephalosporin method. In 1998, 93 strians of N. genorrhoeae were isolated, among which 60(64.5%) were PPNG. The prevalence of PPNG in Seoul, which had been decreased to 39% in 1996 after a peak of 74.3% in 1993, is increased to 64.5% in 1998.

도시폐기물 소각공정에서의 다이옥신 배출특성(Ⅰ) : 방지시설의 영향;The Effect of Air Pollution Control Device

김진범,이우근 江原大學校 附設 環境硏究所 2000 環境硏究 Vol.17 No.-

본 연구는 도시폐기물 소각장 배출가스 중의 다이옥신 배출특성을 알아보기 위해 수행되었다. 소각로 내의 각 방지장치에서 측정된 결과에 의하면, 촉매반응탑 입구에서 가장 많은 양의 다이옥신이 측정되었다. 따라서 전기집진기는 다이옥신이 생성되는데 적당한 조건을 제공하는 것으로 보인다. 다이옥신 농도는 계절에 따라 큰 차이를 보여 겨울에 측정된 다이옥신 농도가 가을보다 높았는데, 도시폐기물의 조성, 소각로 운전조건 등이 다이옥신 생성에 영향을 주고 있음을 제시해 준다. This study is carried out to investigate the discharge characteristics of PCDD/Fs from municipal solid waste(MSW) incinerator. According to the results measured at several air pollution control devices(APCDs) are found at selective catalytic reduction(SCR) inlet. Therefore, it concludes that the electrostatic precipitator(EP) provides the appropraiate condition for the formation of PCDD/Fs. The concentration of PCDD/Fs shows a large difference with the season. The concentration of PCDD/Fs in winter is higher than that of autumn, which suggests that the formation of PCDD/Fs is affected by the MSW components and the operation condition of municipal solid waste incinerator(MSWI).

김태철,이규승,오범룡,민진우 忠南大學校 環境問題硏究所 1998 環境硏究 Vol.16 No.-

The effect of non-point source pollution in rural area has much influence on the stream water quality. It is difficult to improve the stream water quality, because of complex pollutant loads technically and because of treatment-cost of the deteriorated water economically. The best way to reduce the non-point source pollution is to check the water quality in the inlet of irrigation channel and control the water quality in the outlet of drainage channel. Stream water quality in the rural area is closely related with the fertilizers, pesticides, and livestock wastewater. Basically the rate of treatment and retention time were estimated for BOD, COD, SS, NH₄-N, T-N, NO₃-N, T-P, PO₄-P using materials such as gravel, crushed stone, useless tire, geotextiles, and concrete block, respectively and also using the combined materials. The rate of treatment for BOD, COD, SS is high, but that for NH₄-N, T-N, NO₃-N, T-P, PO₄-P is low. Optimal retention time in the natural contact channel was 90 minutes.

Kim#, Eun Kyung,Kwon#, Kang Beom,Lee, Ju Hyung,Park, Byung Hyun,Park, Jin Woo,Lee, Hern Koo,Jhee, Eun Chung,Yang, Jeong Yeh Pharmaceutical Society of Japan 2007 Biological & pharmaceutical bulletin Vol.30 No.2

<P>Cytokines produced by immune cells infiltrating pancreatic islets are important mediators of β-cell destruction in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Scoparone (6,7-dimethoxycoumarin) is known to have a wide range of pharmacological properties <I>in vitro</I>. In this study, the effects of scoparone on cytokine-induced β-cell dysfunction were examined. Presence of scoparone significantly protected interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ)-mediated cytotoxicity of RINm5F, a rat insulinoma cell line, and preserved glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in rat pancreatic islets. Scoparone also resulted in a significant reduction in IL-1β and IFN-γ-induced nitric oxide (NO) production, a finding that correlated well with reduced levels of the inducible form of NO synthase (iNOS) mRNA and protein. The molecular mechanism by which scoparone inhibited iNOS gene expression appeared to involve the inhibition of NF-κB activation. These results revealed the possible therapeutic value of scoparone for the prevention of diabetes mellitus progression.</P>

소각 비산재의 적정처리를 위한 기초연구(Ⅱ) : 용출인자의 영향;Effect of Leaching Parameter

김진범,이우근,심영주 江原大學校 附設 環境硏究所 2000 環境硏究 Vol.17 No.-

본 연구는 소각 비산재의 물리·화학적 특성이 중금속의 용출 거동에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 수행하였다. 영향인자로는 비산재의 pH, CEC, 입자크기, 연속추출방법에 의해 분류된 중금속의 존재형태 중에서 exchangeable fraction을 고려하였다. KSLT법에 의한 중금속의 용출율은 pH에 크게 의존적이고 원소에 따라 차이를 보였다. 카드뮴과 구리의 용출율은 pH가 증가함에 따라 감소한 반면, 납과 아연은 중성 또는 강알칼리성 조건에서 증가하는 것으로 나타났는데 중금속의 용출 거동이 용해도에 의해 제한됨을 나타내 준다. CEC가 중금속의 용출율에 미치는 영향은 pH와 비슷한 것으로 나타났다. 비산재의 입자크기 중에서 D_(10)은 KSLT법에 의한 중금속의 용출량과 음의 상관성을 나타내었다. Exchangeable fraction의 경우는 비산재의 CEC 값이 40 meq/100g 미만인 시료는 선형관계에 있지만, 그 외의 CEC 값에서는 비선형관계를 보여주었다. Our study was performed to evaluate the effect of leaching parameters including the physicochemical characteristics and the fractionated composition of heavy metals on the release of heavy metals in fly ash discharged from MSWI. Leaching parameters such as pH, CEC, particle size, and exchangeable fraction among the fractional composition classified by sequential extraction procedure are considered. The leaching rate of heavy metal released by KSLT method is largely dependent on the pH of fly ash. The effect of pH on the release of heavy metals is different from elements. It appears that the leaching rate of cadmium and copper decreases with increasing pH, While lead and zinc increases at the condition of neutral or strong alkali condition, which suggests that the leaching of heavy metals are limited by the solubility. It is found that the effect of CEC is similarly to that of pH. D_(10) among the particle size of fly ash is negative correlated with the concentration of heavy metals leached by KSLT method. In the case of exchangeable fraction, the leaching rate of heavy metals is linearly correlated with the exchangeable fraction for the fly ash below 40 meq/100g of CEC, but not related out of the range.
