Praziquantel is rapidly absorbed and secreted; and thus fractional doses are recommended for the treatment of cestode and trematode infections. In the present study, we developed a new praziquantel tablet formula allowing sustained-release (SRP). In vitro dissolution of SRP tablets showed that praziquantel at 300 ㎎/tablet combined with hydroxypropyl methylcellulose dissolved completely at a constant rate over 10 h, whereas the conventional praziquantel tablet (PZQ) was only 40% dissolved. Pharmacokinetic studies in dogs confirmed that SRP was absorbed more slowly than PZQ. The mean value of the area under the concentration/time curve from 0 h to the final observation time, the maximum concentration in serum, and the time of maximum concentration in serum for SRP were 3.471.500 ng/min for 0.25 ㎖, 10,300 ng for 0.25 ㎖, and 192 min. while the values for PZQ were 688,600 ng/min for 0.25㎖, 2,500 ng for 0.25㎖, and 135 min. The cure rate in dogs with a heavy infection (500 metacercariae) treated with a single dose of SRP (150 ㎎/tablet) at 50 ㎎/㎏ was 80%, while in dogs treated with a single dose of SRP (300 ㎎/tablet) at 30 mg/kg it was 60%, and the cure rate with PZQ was 20%. In each case. the egg reduction rate was similar (over 90%). No abnormal liver functions or hepatic or renal pathologies were observed in dogs administered with SRP at 30 ㎎/㎏. The SRP tablet showed sustained release and slow absorption; and it had an improved anthelmintic efficacy against Clonorchis sinensis in experimental dogs. compared with conventional praziquantel.

The response of Pseudomonas sp. BCNU 171 to various forms of stress was examined by using O'Farrell two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. The toluene resistance of mid-growth cells of Pseudomonas sp. BCNU 171 grown at 30℃ was enhanced by exposing the cells to a prior toluene shock in the presence of 0.05% toluene for 30 min. The heat tolerance of the cell was also induced by the same condition. Individual protein expression was examined at 30 min and 60 min by silver staining after the addition of 0.05%(v/v) toluene to mid-growing cultures of the strain BCNU 171. The toluene stress response increased the expression of eighteen proteins between 30 and 60 min toluene exposure. At 60 min after toluene addition, a toluene specific protein was detected. A few proteins induced by toluene and heat were overlapped on 2D-PAGE.

Chloroform is harmful volatile organics and representatives of Trihalomethane (THM). Well-known removal methods of Chloroform are photo oxidation or OH radical oxidation. Plasma on water surface at slightly vacuum condition (45 torr) can produce OH radical and it will help chloroform removal. 81.5% of chloroform is removed by vacuum and plasma in 10 min. Plasma can totally oxidize it till 2.8% and partially oxidize chloroform up to 18.5%. Water-surface plasma is good method to remove chloroform in short time.

Objective: The aim of this study is to quantitatively evaluate the effects of the secondary task during simulated driving using the variable indicating control of vehicle. Background: There are so many researches for simulated driving and performance. For instance, some researches show that the effects of cell phone conversations on simulated driving. Cell phone conversations impaired explicit recognition memory. Method: Participants included 50s taxi drivers; 15 males and 15 females. All subjects were instructed to keep a distance (30m) from the car ahead and a constant speed (80km/hr or 100km/hr). Sending text message (STM) and Searching navigation (SN) were selected as the secondary task. Experiment consisted of rest for 3min., driving alone for 1min. and driving with secondary task for 1 min.. We were analyzed anterior-posterior coefficient of variation (APCV) and medial-lateral coefficient of variation (MLCV). Results: APCV was increased by 175.4% in STM and 223.8% in SN at 80km/hr. MLCV was increased by 242.3% in STM and 323.4% in SN at 100km/hr. There was no significant difference between genders. Conclusion: Consequently, performing secondary task during driving impaired the control of vehicle.

Dae Joon Kim,Ki Hong Yoon Seung Ho Kim,Ki Haeng Cho,Bon Hong Min 생화학분자생물학회 1995 BMB Reports Vol.28 No.4

A thermophilic Bacillus sp. strain KK-1 isolated from soil produced an extracelluar xylanase. From the culture supernatant of Bacillus sp., the xylanase was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate precipitation and DEAF-Sephadex A-50 chromatography. The molecular weight of the purified xylanase was estimated to be 45 kDa by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and gel permeation chromatography. The apparent K_m values for xylanase, using oat spelt xylan and birchwood xylan as substrates, were 7.1 ㎎/㎖ and 3.2 ㎎/㎖, and V_(max) values were 27.0 μ㏖·min^(-1)·㎎^(-1) and 29.0 μ㏖·min^(-1)·㎎^(-1), respectively. The xylanase hydrolyzed oat spelt xylan to mostly xylobiose, xytotriose, and xylose. The amino acid composition indicated that the xylanase contained high amounts of amino acid residues of glutamic acid and glutamine (Glx) and aspartic acid and asparagine (Asx).

본 연구는 다양한 공급망 내 재고관리 방법 중 최적의 방법을 찾아내는 것을 목적으로 하고 있다. 비교대상 재고관리 방법은 Min-Max, 정기, 정량, 목표재고관리 방법으로 각 제품별 리드타임과 수요를 달리하여 구성하였다. 또한 공급사슬 망의 단계가 2단계인 경우와 3단계인 경우를 구분하여 공금망 단계를 줄였을 경우의 결과를 분석한다. 시뮬레이션 모형은 8개의 시나리오로 나뉘며, 각 시나리오는 주문방식과 단계로 구분할 수 있다. 시뮬레이션을 위한 입력 자료는 기존의 선행연구 결과와 실제데이터를 토대로 하였다. 시뮬레이션의 평가는 매출액, 총판매건수, 총배송비, 총결품량, 결품횟수, 결품손실금, 평균 재고량, 재고관리비, 순이익으로 실시한다. 시뮬레이션 결과 목표재고관리 방법이 가장 우수하게 나타났으며, 목표재고관리 시스템은 기존의 재고관리 방법을 사용한 시나리오보다 순이익 및 재고 등의 측면에서 우수한 결과를 나타냈다. 또한 기존의 공급사슬에서 한 단계 공급망을 줄였을 경우 수익이 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구 결과는 목표재고관리 시스템을 추가적으로 고려하고 있다는 것과 공급사슬의 단계를 줄일 수 있는 개선 방안을 논의했다는 것에 의의를 둘 수 있다. This research focuses on the method of inventory management to find out the best way in various SCM. There are several comparable methods of inventory management like Min-Max, regular interval, fixed target inventory that have different lead-time and demand for each product. Also, the inventory performances between the case of three-stages and two-stages in SCM are analyzed. 8 scenarios for the simulation are suggested considering order ways and stages. Input data for the simulation is from the result of the previous studies and actual data in the market. The performance measurements are selected as sales revenue, total number of sales, total delivery cost, total inventory shortages, the number of inventory shortage occurrence, the loss for inventory shortages, average inventory, handling cost, net profit. According to the results of the simulation, fixed target inventory management is better than existing inventory management method by net profit and inventory and so on. Also, it was confirmed that the increase in profit is obtained when SCM stages is reduced from three-stages to two-stages in existing SCM. The result of the research provides significant meaning that newly introduced target inventory management system shows good performance and SCM performance can be improved by reducing the stages.

Objectives: Recently, [methyl-(11)^C]-(β-Hydroxyethyl)trimethylammonium ([(11)^C]choline) has been discovered to be a very effective tracer in imaging various human tumors using positron emission tomography. Because of the short half-life of C-11, it is very difficult to use in a routine imaging procedure and needs a frequent synthesis of [(11)^]choline. This can be supplemented by the substitution of [(11)^Ccholine with [methyS-18]fluorocholine. Here, we would like to report cell uptake and biodistribution of [(11)^Ccholine and [(18)^F]fluorocholine as a basic study. Methods [(11)^C]Choline was prepared by the treatment of [(11)^C]CHzI with N,N-dimethylaminoethanol and [18F]fluorocholine was synthesized from reaction of CHzBr[18F]F with N,N-dimethylaminoethanol. The radiochemical purity was checked by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The biodistribution of [(11)^C]choline and [(18)^F]fluorocholine was determined in balb/c mouse at 5 min, 20 min, 40 min and 80 min. The cell uptake wa measured using glioma (9L) and colon adeocarcinoma (SW620). Results: The radiochemical purity was more than 98% after purification. In the liver, uptake did not change over time the uptake was 20/ID/g for [C]choline and 13%ID/g for [(18)^F]fluorocholine. In the kidney, radioactivity decreased over tirne the uptake was 15%1D/g for [(11)^Ccholine and 20%ID/g for [(18)^F]fluorocholine, 80 min post-injection. The cell uptake of [(11)^Ccholine was 4.93% for glioma (9L) and 18.69F for colon adenocarcinoma (SW620). For [(18)^F]fluorocholine, 1.77% for glioma (9L) and 2.77% for colon adenocarcinoma (SW620). Conclusion: [(11)^CCholine and [(18)^F]fluorocholine showed a different cell uptake tendency, depending on cancer cell line. (Korean J Nucl Med 200135:185-191)

Among the congenital ear deformity, the snail shell(escargot) ear is a combined form of the lop and satyr ear, and corresponds to Tanzer's "constricted ear, group Ⅲ" and correspond to the "severe cupped" ear of Fukuda, and has been called "cucurucho"(ice-cream cone) by Malbec. Embryologically, hillocks three and four and the intervening cleft are affected, and there is severe underdevelopment of the upper ear, including the intervening anterior and superior helix, the upper scapha and scaphal fossa, superior crus and triangular fossa. The upper ear is rolled forward and downward, deviating the longitudinal axis. Correction methods of the snail shell ear were various from the Kislov method to the rib cartilage graft for radical treatment of full-blown microtia. We recently the case of a 26 years old woman who presented the lidding of the upper one third helix and corrected this deformity with the contralateral conchal cartilage graft. Thus we got the good result.
