<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>The occurrence, species- and habitat-dependent distribution of brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and PBDE metabolites comprising 27 polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), 3 hexabromocyclododecanes (HBCDs), tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA), 17 methoxylated (MeO-) BDEs, and 8 hydroxylated (OH-) BDEs were determined in marine environments (sediment and seawater) and 20 biota species in food web in the southern part of Korea. The concentration of HBCDs was statistically higher in both pelagic (5.73–60.1 ng/g lipid weight [lw]) and demersal fish (2.45–31.3 ng/g lw), whereas a higher level of OH-BDEs was observed in benthic invertebrates (2.48–40.7 ng/g lw), suggesting different composition of BFRs and PBDE metabolites between species. The concentrations of TBBPA and MeO-BDEs were significantly higher in pelagic fish (1.31–11.3, 6.15–61.5 ng/g lw) than in demersal fish (not detected [N.D.]–4.45, 0.956–8.52 ng/g lw) and benthic invertebrates (N.D.–8.11, 0.182–4.65 ng/g lw), reflecting a dependence on habitat. Additionally, analogue distribution of PBDEs in pelagic fish was similar to that in seawater, whereas the distribution in demersal fish and benthic invertebrates was similar to the distribution in sediment. The bioconcentration factor (BCF) and trophic magnification factor (TMF) of α-HBCD, some of PBDEs, and 6-MeO-BDE47 were up to 5000 and 1, respectively, suggesting strong bioaccumulation and biomagnification.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> Different distributions of BFRs and PBDE metabolites were observed according to the species and habitat of biota. </LI> <LI> The level of HBCDs was higher in pelagic and demersal fish, whereas OH-BDE level was higher in benthic invertebrates. </LI> <LI> The concentrations of MeO-BDEs and TBBPA in pelagic fish were higher than those in demersal fish and benthic invertebrates. </LI> <LI> α-HBCD, some congeners of PBDEs (BDE49, 71, 100), and 6-MeO-BDE47 were strongly biomagnified and bioaccumulated. </LI> </UL> </P> <P><B>Graphical abstract</B></P> <P>[DISPLAY OMISSION]</P>

PBDEs and their structural analogues in marine environments: Fate and expected formation mechanisms compared with diverse environments

Choo, Gyojin,Kim, Da-Hye,Kim, Un-Jung,Lee, In-Seok,Oh, Jeong-Eun Elsevier 2018 Journal of hazardous materials Vol.343 No.-

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>The concentrations and relative distributions of 27 polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and 17 methoxylated (MeO-) and 8 hydroxylated (OH-) BDEs were determined in marine environments including sediments, bivalves, and seawater along the southern coast of South Korea to understand their fates and possible formation mechanisms. The relative and substituent distributions of the PBDEs and their structural analogues varied according to the characteristics of the media. PBDEs were dominant in marine sediments and seawater, whereas MeO-BDEs made the highest contributions in bivalves. Similar patterns were previously identified in inland environments in Korea, except in river water where OH-BDEs were dominant. The natural formation of structural analogues might be the main mechanism in marine, as <I>ortho</I>-substituted naturally occurring MeO- and OH-BDEs were dominant in all media and seemed to be more produced than in inland environments. In addition, the higher concentrations of meta-substituted MeO-BDEs nearshore than offshore was observed. This is the first study comparing marine (near- and offshore) and inland to understand the differences in their fate and possible formation mechanisms in each environmental conditions.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> The distributions of PBDEs and their structural analogues were compared between marine (near- and offshore) and inland. </LI> <LI> PBDEs dominated in abiotic media, whereas MeO-BDEs were dominant in biota. </LI> <LI> Natural formation might be the main mechanism for PBDE structural analogues in marine and was highly occurred than in inland. </LI> <LI> The higher contributions of meta-MeO-BDEs were observed in inland and nearshore than offshore. </LI> </UL> </P> <P><B>Graphical abstract</B></P> <P>[DISPLAY OMISSION]</P>

Phenobarbital is a long-acting barbiturate causing generalized depression of neuronal activity in the brain. Its effect is primarily achieved through enhanced GABA-mediated synaptic inhibition. Its use as an antiepileptic agent was first described in 1912. Before the introduction of phenytoin, phenobarbital is used as sedative-hypnotics. It is used for the treatment of epilepsy and status epilepticus. All barbiturates, including phenobarbital, have a high potential for abuse. They were frequently used for suicide attempts in the past, but they have in large part been replaced by benzodiazepines. The onset of symptoms depends on the drug and the route of administration. Mild to moderate barbiturate intoxication resembles ethanol inebriation with slurred speech, ataxia, and lethargy. Severe acute barbiturate intoxication is life threatening. Early deaths are generally cardiovascular-related. Hypotension, shock, pulmonary edema, and cardiac arrest that occurs with large doses are caused by depression of central sympathetic tone and as well as by direct depression of cardiac contractility. The potentially fatal oral dose of phenobarbital is 6-10g. We describe an 23-year-old woman with pulmonary edema, and cardiac arrest ingestion of 18grams of phenobarbital. She was completely recovered by successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation and homoperfusion. We report a case with literature review.

Tracheobronchopathia osteoplastica is a rare disorder of unknown cause characterized by the projection of numerous bony or cartilaginous submucosal nodules into the tracheobronchial lumen with sparing of the posterior membranous portion of tracheobronchial tree. In the past, most of the cases were diagnosed as secondary finding at autopsy. Nowaday, the key component of the evaluation is flexible fiberoptic laryngoscopy and bronchoscopy, which typically demonstrates irregular spicules of subrnucosal bone and cartilage projecting into the tracheobronchial lumen and causing various degrees of airway obstruction. A 45 years old man was visited Sunchon St. Carollo hospital due to discomfort on throat. We saw several nodules just below vocal cord via laryngoscope. The computed tomography revealed multiple small calcified nqdules on trachea and both main bronchi. Pathologic finding of bronchoscopic biopsy showed abnormal proliferation of bony and cartilagious nodules in the tracheal submucosa. These fingdings were consistent with tracheobronchopathia osteoplastica. We report here on a case of tracheobronchopathia osteoplastica with review of literature.

Background: Two major events occurring in the cerebral hemodynamics after successful resuscitation from cardiac arrest are reactive hyperemia and postischemic hypoperfusion. In this study, we examined the effect of Pentoxifylline(PTX) on the rat brain following cardiac arrest. Methods: Fourteen rats were anesthetized and artificially ventilated. Cardiac arrest was produced by chest compression and clamping of tracheal tube for 3 minutes in ketamine anesthetized rats. Circulation was restored by standard cardiopulmonary resuscitation methods. In 7 rats, PTX 10mg/kg was infused at 10min after cardiac arrest(PTX group). In the other 7 rats, same amount of normal saline was infused(control group). Results: In both groups, hemodynamic variables, neurologic deficit(ND) score and histopathologic findings of hippocampal CA1 neurons were observed. Hemodynamic variables and ND score were not significantly different between two groups. Delayed ischemic neurons of hippocampal CA1 were decreased in PTX group(2.2±2.4%) compared with control group(9.1±1.2%). Conclusions: We conclude that PTX prevented development of delayed ischemic neurons in hippocampal CA1 after cardiac arrest. PTX may be useful in emergency situations following cardiac arrest.

This study investigated the experience and practice of elementary school students on nutrition education. The data were collected from 217 male and female students attending 5-6th grade elementary schools in Seoul and Kyunggi-Do from March to June 2007, interviewing face to face by a nutrition teacher and 3 interns of a nutrition teacher. The results were as follows: 86.5% of the subjects learned about ‘Table etiquette’, ‘Reasons for eating fruits and vegetables’ (78.7%), ‘Food waste and environment’ (72.3%), ‘Healthy snacks’ (55.7%), ‘Food sanitation’ (52.3%), ‘Food culture of foreign countries’ (48.1%). Nutrition education experience was significantly different by gender. A total of 43.5% boys responded that they never learned about ‘basic food preperation’ (p < 0.01). They had learned ‘Nutrients for body’ and ‘Food waste and environment’ in school, ‘Healthy weight loss’, ‘Food culture of foreign countries’, ‘Food circulation’ on television, Most content (‘Table etiquette’, ‘Simple cooking’, ‘Food sanitati n’, ‘Eating behaviors for health’, ‘Reasons for eating fruits and vegetables’, ‘Healthy snacks’) was learned from parents. The practice after nutrition education was higher in ‘Table etiquette’ (2.14), ‘Eating fruits and vegetables’ (2.07) than others compared with education experience. The most reason of non-practice on nutrition information was ‘Troublesome’. In ‘Nutrients for body’, a boy answered ‘Difficult for practice’ 20.0%, a girl answered ‘Difficult to understand’ 32.6%, showing a significant difference between the gender groups (p < 0.001). They remembered the ‘Nutrients for body’ (49.6%), ‘Food sanitation’ (44.5%) because of ‘important content’,‘Basic food preparation’ (40.6%), ‘Food culture of foreign countries’ (36.3%) because of ‘interesting content’, ‘Healthy weight loss’ (52.0%), ‘Eating behavior for health’ (44.5%) and ‘Healthy snacks’ (33.7%) because of ‘need for my health’.

Effects of (±)-camphor on liver cytochrome P450 enzymes were investigated in male ICR mice. Mice were treated intraperitoneally with 0, 200, 400 and 800 mg/kg of (±) -camphor in corn oil for 3 consecutive days. Twenty four hr after the final treatment, the animals were subjected to necropsy. The activities of serum aspartate aminotransferase and serum alanine aminotransferase were slightly changed by the treatment with (±)-camphor at the doses used. Administration o(±)-camphor to mice significantly induced the hepatic activities of pentoxyresorufin O-depentylase and benzyloxyresorufin O-debenzylase and weakly induced ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase in dose-dependent manners. The present results suggested that (±)-camphor might act as a relatively specific inducer of hepatic cytochrome P450 213 in male ICR mice.

한국 초파리 집단의 선택불리에 관한 지구 자기장이 소거된 자기장 영향

정승문,최오옥,박은규 圓光大學校 1996 論文集 Vol.32 No.2

본 연구에서는 한국 남해안 거제도의 자연집단의 야생형 초파리와 성연관 돌연변이형 황색체-백색안 초파리를 Helmholtz coils 장치를 사용해서 유도한 지구 자기장이 소거된 초파리집단과 비교집단인 지구 자기장내의 초파리 집단으로 사육해서 발생된 성적 선택빈도를 조사하여, 선택불리에 관한 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 야생형 유전자를 운반한 염색체의 선택빈도는 20세대까지 전체 평균 빈도가 위의 2집단에서 각각 0.7212, 0.7180으로 관찰되었다. 이 결과는 지구 자기장이 소거된 집단에서 더 약한 선택분리 행동을 보여주었다. 성연관 돌연변이형 yw 유전자를 운반한 염색체의 선택빈도는 위의 각각의 조절된 자기장내의 초파리 집단에서 각각 0.0306, 0.0372로 관찰되었다. 이 결과는 자기장이 소거된 초파리 집단 보다 지구 자기장 내의 초파리 집단에서 더 약한 선택불리 행동을 보여 주었다. 초파리 집단의 전체 평균 발생율은 위의 초파리 집단에서 각각 53.40%, 40.60%로 관찰되었다. 이 결과는 지구 자기장내의 초파리 집단의 발생율이 상대적으로 낮은 수치로 조사되었다. Duncan's multiple range test와 LSD값으로 유의 차이를 검정하였던 바 야생형 그룹과 다른 3개의 돌연변이형 그룹 사이에서 고도의 유의차이가 있음이 밝혀졌다. To elucidate the genetic behavior of selective disadvantage among sex-linked mutants of Drosophila melanogaster bred and kept by the genetic study laboratory room, Wonkwang University and the wild type collected at Keojaedo island, and reared under the influence of two different strength of magnetic fields, i.e. the without magnetic field generated by Helmholtz coils and the ambient magnetic field, this study was carried out at the above indicated laboratory room. The mean selective frequencies of wild type gene-carrying chromosomes up to twentieth generation, affected by two different mafnetic fields, showed 0.7212 and 0.7180 with the magnetic field strength as mentioned other before. The data explains that Drosophila melanogaster population reared in the without magnetic field showed lower selective disadvantage. The selective frequencies of the individual of yw gene-bearing chromosomes showed 0.0306 and 0.0372 by the same order of magnetic field strength indicated above. It was shown that the fly population reared at the ambient magnetic field cleared the relatively lawer selective disadvantage. The over-all mean emergence rates of Drosophila melanogaster populations reared in controlled magnetic fields indicated above showed 53.40% and 46.60% respectively. Referring to these data, the fly population raised in the ambient magnetic field showed a relatively lower emergence rate than the without magnetic field population. Through Duncan's multiple range test and LSD value, the highly significant differences between the wild type and anyone of the other three mutants were calculated.
