This study aimed to determine the physiochemical changes during maturation to examine the preparation of watery Kimchi with wild vegetables from Gangwon Province, and its use. The wild vegetables in this study included Ligularia fischeri, Aster scaber Thunb, and Cirsium setidens; a comparison was made between preservation in a saline solution and pre-treatment with blanching. As for treatment before preparation of watery Kimchi, the water content was the lowest at 81.45% for Aster scaber Thunb preserved in a saline solution and was found to be 87.39% for blanched Cirsium setidens. Blanching resulted in higher L, b, and a values for color value than treatment with a saline solution and Ligularia fischeri got the highest hardness, followed by Aster scaber Thunb and Cirsium setidens, from both types of treatment. As for the physiochemical properties during maturation, the total soluble solid content and salinity were kept higher by treatment with a saline solution than by blanching, whereas pH tended to get lower in both types of treatment. Turbidity became higher one week after treatment with a saline solution, but varied insignificantly afterward by any type of treatment. As for free sugar, both types of treatment increased the content of glucose and fructose and kept that of sucrose and maltose constant during maturation. As for overall acceptability, blanched watery Kimchi made of Cirsium setidens got the highest preference.

The purpose of this study is to seek an alternative method to prevent the contamination of normal saline caused by the back-flow of Gadolinium Based Contrast Agent(GBCA) by the use of auto-injector for dynamic MRI. The research method is to manufacture the non-return valve as an alternative to the existing, and to examine the usefulness of the normal saline by dividing the state of normal saline into three groups. The signal intensity were compared. As a result, there was no statistically significant difference between normal saline before injection of group 1 and group 3 non-return valve (p> 0.05). It is analyzed that the self-produced non-return valve completely blocked the GBCA back to normal saline when the GBCA was injected. In conclusion, the application of the non-return valve presented in this study for dynamic MRI imaging using the auto injector can prevent normal saline contamination due to GBCA back-flow.

Anatomy of Pinus koraiensis needles and Ginkgo biloba leaves was investigated after exposure to simulated acid rain, drought and salt solution. All of the stresses applied to the needle of Pinus koraiensis caused collapse of mesophyll tissues; epidermis was collapsed due to acid rain, severe compress and transformation of epidermis, mesophyll, and endodermis to drought, and collapse of phloem and transfusion tissue to salt solution. Spongy mesophyll tissues, however, collapsed in the leaves of Ginkgo biloba; epidermis and palisade tissues collapsed due to acid rain, compress and transformation of spongy mesophyll tissues to drought, and hypertrophy and collapse of endodermis and transfusion tissues to salt solution.

본 연구는 식염첨가의 감소를 MTGase와 우유단백질을 첨가하여 보완하기 위하여 저지방 저염 재구성 햄을 제조하여 이화학적 및 조직학적 성상을 평가하였고, 1.5%의 식염이 첨가된 대조구와 기능성, 조직감 및 관능성을 비교하였다. 제조한 재구성 햄의 pH, 그리고 수분, 지방 및 단백질 함량은 각각 6.07-6.22, 68-72%, 2-5%, 18-22%였다. 색도와 보수력은MTGase와 우유단백질 첨가에 의해 영향 받지 않았다 (p>0.05). 반면에 가열감량은 식염첨가량과 우유단백질에 의해 차이를 보여 식염함량이 증가할수록 가열감량은 낮았고 카제인 염이 유청 단백질에 비하여 가열감량을 줄일 수 있었다 (p<0.05). 조직검사에서는 MTGase에 우유단백질 1%를 첨가한 처리구가 대조구에 비교한 결과, 경도를 제외한 조직검사에서 높은 값을 나타내었다. 관능평가에서는 1.0% 식염에 0.3% MTGase와 1% 우유단백질을 첨가한 재구성 햄이 기능적에서 대조구와 유사하였다. 이러한 결과는 0.3% MTGase에 1% 우유단백질을 첨가하는 것이 식염감소에 의한 재구성 햄의 결점을 보완함을 시사하였고 카제인 염 단백질은 MTGase의 기질로써 유청 단백질보다 더 효율적이었다.

"안전한 작물보호제"라는 말이 있다. 그렇다면 "안전"이란 어떠한 성질을 말하는 것일까. 신문 등에 과거 DDT의 이야기가 실릴 때에는 "독성이 강한 농약 DDT${\cdots}$"등과 같이 "독성이 강한"이라는 표현을 붙이는 경우가 많다. "독성이 강하다"라는 것은 어떠한 성질을 말하는 것일까. 올해 전, 모 신문은 '식염수를 마시고 사망한 소녀의 이야기"를 전했다. 구내염(口內炎)으로 아파하는 소녀에게 부모가 식염수로 양치를 시키자 더욱 괴로워했다. 그래서 엄하게 꾸짖으며 억지로 마시게 했더니, 염분의 농도가 짙어서 사망했다고 한다. 식염은 과연 "독성이 강한"것일까. 쉽게 사용해서는 안 되는 "안전"이나 "독성"이란 말은 어떤 의미를 갖는 것일까. 먼저 작보제에 대해서 약간의 문제점을 정리해보기로 하겠다. 그리고 작보제 안전성에 대해서 구체적이고 정석적인 이야기보다는 기본적인 개념을 주로 다루어 보고자 한다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to find out the accuracy and usability of the three dimensional ultrasonography in measuring the size of the rotator cuff tear, especially before and after the injection of normal saline into the glenohumeral joint. Materials and Methods: 14 patients of rotator cuff tear who were diagnosed and operated from August 2007 to September 2008 were included in this study and authors compared the size of rotator cuff tear measured with three dimensional ultrasonography with the real size measured intraoperatively. In preoperative ultrasonographic evaluation, horizontal and longitudinal length of rotator cuff tear before and after injection of normal saline intraarticularly. During the arthroscopic operation the size of tear was measured by passing a Kirschner wire through a spinal needle and direct measure was performed in open surgery. Results: The average difference was 8 mm in horizontal and 1.9 mm in longitudinal length of tear without saline injection between ultrasonographic and intraoperative measure. The average difference was 4.1 mm in horizontal and 1.6 mm in longitudinal length of tear after the normal saline injection. Conclusion: In three dimensional ultrasonographic evaluation in rotator cuff tear, intraarticular normal saline injection would produce more accurate results.

Purpose: In the present study, the actual management state of trial contact lenses and lens care products in local optical shops was surveyed and analyzed to reduce the risk of lens complication possibly induced by neglecting lens care. Methods: The feeling of contact lens wearers during the wear of trial contact lenses was surveyed. Futhermore, the actual management state of trial contact lenses such as cosmetic lens and RGP lens and lens care products was also investigated by surveying opticians who trade contact lenses in local optical shops. Results: It was found that consumers trusted the sanitary conditions of the lens since trial cosmetic contact lens and RGP lens were cleaned before and after trails by over 98% of opticians in local optical shops. For trial cosmetic lens, cleaning with normal saline, multipurpose solution for soft lens and combination of saline and multipurpose solution were 38.5%, 40.5% and 21%, respectively, before trials. After trials, cosmetic lenses were cleaned with normal saline, multipurpose solution for soft lens and a combination of saline and multipurpose solution were 13%, 75%, and 12%, respectively. On the other hand, cleaning with normal saline, multipurpose solution for RGP lens and combination of saline and multipurpose solution were 28.5%, 38.5% and 33%, respectively, before trying trial RGP lens. After trials, RGP lenses were cleaned with normal saline, multipurpose solution for RGP lens and a combination of saline and multipurpose solution were 2.5%, 70%, and 27.5%, respectively, indicating that relatively many opticians followed the lens cleaning regimen. In local optical shops, the cleaning trial cosmetic lens was mainly conducted at every 10 days or a month and the washing cycle of cosmetic lens case was in a month or 2~3 months. The cleaning interval of trial RGP lens was primarily in a month or 2~3 months. For those lens cases, more than 75% of opticians washed them with a surfactant and then rinsed with cold water. The storing periods of lens care products were primarily in a week for saline and in a month and 2~3 months indicating that storing period of lens care products was relatively well-kept in local optical shops. Conclusions: It is thought that the concern about any microbial infection is not that high since trial contact lenses and lens care products were generally well-managed by opticians in local optical shops from the results above. However, better public eye health and better public confidence in opticians may be possible if further strengthen in avoidance of lens cleaning with saline, keep of cleaning cycles within 2 weeks and rinsing of lens cases with hot water happens.

A study 6was Planned to see if administration of ginseng extract has any influence upon cerebral nucleic acid content of mice. Thirty male mice $(body\;weight:\;18{\sim}20\;gm)$ were divided into the ginseng and the saline groups. Once a day for S days they received subcutaneously 0.05 ml/10 gm body weight of ginseng extract solution (4 mg of ginseng alcohol extract in 1 ml of saline), and the same amount of saline, respectively. On the 5th experimental day, all animals were sacrificed 2 hours after the last medication and their cerebral tissue was removed. Cerebral RNA and DNA contents were measured using the chemical method of Schmidt-Thannhauser-Schneider. Following results were obtained: 1. Cerebral RNA and DNA contents were significantly higher in the hippocampal group than in the saline group. 2. The RNA/DNA ratio was lower in the ginseng group compared with that in the saline group, because the cerebral DNA increased more remarkably than the RNA did following administration of ginseng. The ginseng is inferred to augment cerebral RNA and DNA content of mice.

It was planned to evaluate the influence of Panax Ginseng upon DNA synthesis of submandibular gland in mice by observing incorporation of $[^3H]$ thymidine into the tissue cells. Thirty male mice $(body\;weight:\;18{\sim}20\;g)$ were divided equally into two groups. One group received every day (subcutaneously) 0. 05 ml/10 g body weight of ginseng extract(4 mg of ginseng alcohol extract in 1ml of saline), while !he other group received the same amount of saline, for 5 days. On the 5th experimental day, all animals received $1\;{\mu}Ci/g$ body weight of $[^3H]$ thymidine intraperitoneally 2 hours after the last medication. Five animals, at a time, of each group were sacrificed 1, 10, and 24 hours after $[^3H]$ thymidine administration, and the radioactivity of cells in their mandibular gland was measured autoradiographically in terms of the % number of radioactive cells in 1,000 tell counts (Radioactive Index, R.I.). It was found that the radioactive indices of mice that received ginseng were lower than the corresponding values of mice that received saline. The inference from the above result was that the ginseng suppressed DNA synthesis of cells in the mandibular gland.
