For a polygon P, we consider the centroid $G_0$ of the vertices of P, the centroid $G_1$ of the edges of P and the centroid $G_2$ of the interior of P, respectively. When P is a triangle, the centroid $G_0$ always coincides with the centroid $G_2$. For the centroid $G_1$ of a triangle, it was proved that the centroid $G_1$ of a triangle coincides with the centroid $G_2$ of the triangle if and only if the triangle is equilateral. In this paper, we study the relationships between the centroids $G_0$, $G_1$ and $G_2$ of a quadrangle P. As a result, we show that parallelograms are the only quadrangles which satisfy either $G_0=G_1$ or $G_0=G_2$. Furthermore, we establish a characterization theorem for convex quadrangles satisfying $G_1=G_2$, and give some examples (convex or concave) which are not parallelograms but satisfy $G_1=G_2$.

In order to investigate the effect of Row ginseng (Ra. G.; from $K{\acute{u}}msan$ province, Korea), White ginseng (W.G.; from $K{\acute{u}}msan$ province, Korea), and Red ginseng (Re. G.; form $K{\acute{u}}msan$ province, Korea) on immune response, the author used ICR mice having a body weight of about 20g as experimental animals dividing them into four groups-Saline, Ra. G, W.G., Re. G group. Delayed type hypersensitivity(DTH) and rosette forming cells(RFC) for cell-mediated immune response, hemagglutinin(HA) titers, hemolysin (HL) titers for humoral immune response were measured at 24 hours after challenge, The results were summarized as follows: 1) DTH was increased in all of the treated group as compared with the Saline group, with statistical significance(W.G.> Re. G. > Ra. G.). 2) RFC was increased in all of the treated group as compared with the Saline group, with statistical significance(W.G. > Re. G. > Ra. G.). 3) HA titer was increased in all of the treated group as compared with the Saline group, with statistical significance (Re. G.> W. G.> Ra. G.). 4) HL titer was increased in all of the treated group as compared with the Saline group, with statistical significance (Re. G. > W. G.> Ra. G.). Through the experimental study in ICR mice, these findings suggest that Raw ginseng, White ginseng and Red ginseng enhance both cell-mediated and humoral immune response with statistical significance.

There is a limitation to estimate vitamin $B_{12}$ intake due to a lack of data on vitamin $B_{12}$ content in many Korean foods. In this study, vitamin $B_{12}$ content was determined in some seaweeds, fish, and shellfish and their product that are consumed in Korea using a modified microbioassay with Lactobacillus delbruecki ATCC 7830. Dried laver and dried seasoned and toasted laver contained very high levels of vitamin $B_{12}$ (66.8 and $55.2-71.3\;{\mu}g$/100 g, respectively. Sea lettuce and seaweed fulvescene also contained high vitamin $B_{12}$ content of 5.47-9.41 and $6.46-7.20\;{\mu}g$/100 g, respectively, whereas sea mustard and sea tangle contained low levels of vitamin $B_{12}$; vitamin $B_{12}$ was not detected in seaweed fusifome. Pacific saury, trout, sea-bass, or squid contained 12.01, 2.00, 0.49 and $2.33\;{\mu}g$ vitamin $B_{12}$/100 g, respectively. Ochellatus octopus, and naked sand lance contained 0.72-1.43 and $3.68\;{\mu}g$ vitamin $B_{12}$/100 g, respectively. Dried Alaska pollack con-tained $0.19-2.64\;{\mu}g$ vitamin $B_{12}$/100 g. Shellfish such as little neck clam and small ark shellfish contained high levels of vitamin $B_{12}$ of $30.5-40.5\;{\mu}g$/100 g, and mussel and abalone contained 17.71 and $7.82\;{\mu}g$/100 g, respectively. Of unique Korean traditional fermented seafood products, salt-fermented products of squid ($2.91\;{\mu}g$/100 g), clams ($34.31\;{\mu}g$/100 g), Ala-ska pollack roe ($9.98-12.02\;{\mu}g$/100 g), hairtail guts ($4.58\;{\mu}g$/100 g) or small shrimp ($0.58-1.55\;{\mu}g$/100 g), and fish sauce from anchovies ($1.52-1.78\;{\mu}g$/100 mL), sand eel ($0.22-0.24\;{\mu}g$/100 mL) or small shrimp ($0.19-0.78\;{\mu}g$/100 mL) were analyzed. A few commercial brands of flying fish roe ($0.73-1.73\;{\mu}g$/100 g), canned tuna ($0.40\;{\mu}g$/100 g), and fried fish paste ($0.25-0.69\;{\mu}g$/100 g) were also analyzed. In conclusion, vitamin $B_{12}$ content in these foods, chosen considering the Korean food culture, should contribute to improve the present vitamin $B_{12}$ food database. It may be helpful to estimate vitamin $B_{12}$ intake more correctly than before, and provide additional information for dietary education related to vitamin $B_{12}$ and meal management.

Disease of human and economic traits of livestocks are affected a lot by gene combination effect rather than a single gene effect. In this study, we used SNPHarvester method that supplement existing method in order to investigate the interaction of these genes. The used genes are SREBPs (g.3270+10274 C>T, g.13544 T>C) and FABP4 (g.2634+1018 A>T, g.2988 A>G, g.3690 G>A, g.3710 G>C, g.3977-325 T>C, g.4221 A>G) that are closely related to the fatty acid composition affecting the meatiness of Korean cattle. The economic traits which are used are oleic acid (C18:1), monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA), marbling score (MS). First, we have utilized the SNPHarvester method in order to find excellent gene combination, and then used the multifactor dimensionality reduction method in order to identify excellent genotype in gene combination.

The aim of this study was to evaluate combination of each of g.15532 C>A, g.17924 G>A SNP of FASN gene and beef quality grade of progeny in Hanwoo cow. In order to analyze the SNPs, genomic DNA was obtained from 270 Hanwoo cow and their progeny steer and g.15532 C>A and g.17924 G>A SNP was genotyped using single-based extension. Employing GLM as a statistical model. g.15532 C>A and g.17924 G>A SNP have a significant effect in Hanwoo steer but no significant effect in Hanwoo cow. Combination of each of g.15532 C>A, g.17924 G>A SNP and beef quality grade of progeny have a significant effect on marbling score in Hanwoo cow. Therefore, we suggest that g.15532 C>A and g.17924 G>A SNP contribute to genetic improvement on marbling score in Hanwoo cow.

Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis was used to study genetic relationships among C. polykrikoides, G. impudicum and G. catenatum, which possess similar morphological features. Four of 12 primers were selected and 59 amplification products ranged from 0.2 kb to 3.0 kb. The number of polymorphic products in C. polykrikoides, G. impudicum and G. catenatum was 16 (27.1%), 8 (13.5%), and 16 (27.1%), respectively, while 17 were monomorphic. Number of species-specific bounds was 26 (44.0%), 34 (57.6%), 26 (44.0%) in C. polykrikoides, G. impudicum and G. catenatum, respectively. The genetic similarity between C. polykrikoides and G. impudicum/G. catenatum was 0.83, whereas G. impudicum and G. catenatum was 0.78. Our results suggest that C. polykrikoides, G. impudicum and G. catenatum are extremely different on the basis of RAPD analysis, despite similarity based on their morphology. The RAPD technique appears to be efficient in detecting genetic variation in these dinoflagellates.

Objective: We report monitoring conservation effect for a Chinese indigenous chicken (Langshan) breed using major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and DNA barcords. Methods: The full length of MHC B-G gene and mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene in generations 0, 5, 10, 15, 16, and 17 was measured using re-sequencing and sequencing procedures, respectively. Results: There were 292 single nucleotide polymorphisms of MHC B-G gene identified in six generations. Heterozygosity (He) and polymorphic information content (PIC) of MHC B-G gene in generations 10, 15, 16, and 17 remained stable. He and PIC of MHC B-G gene were different in six generations, with G10, G15, G16, G17 >G5>G0 (p<0.05). For the COI gene, there were five haplotypes in generations 0, 5, 10, 15, 16, and 17. Where Hap2 and Hap4 were the shared haplotypes, 164 individuals shared Hap2 haplotypes, while Hap1 and Hap3 were the shared haplotypes in generations 0 and 5 and Hap5 was a shared haplotype in generations 10, 15, 16, and 17. The sequence of COI gene in 6 generations was tested by Tajima's and D value, and the results were not significant, which were consistent with neutral mutation. There were no differences in generations 10, 15, 16, and 17for measured phenotypic traits. In other generations, for annual egg production, with G5, G10, G15, G16, G17>G0 (p<0.05). For age at the first egg and age at sexual maturity, with G10, G15, G16, G17>G5>G0 (p<0.05). Conclusion: Combined with the results of COI gene DNA barcodes, MHC B-G gene, and phenotypic traits we can see that genetic diversity remained stable from generations 10 to 17 and the equimultiple random matching pedigrees conservation population conservation effect of Langshan chicken was effective as measured by these criteria.
