Response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to optimize substrate conditions of ribose and hydrolyzed wheat gluten solution for Maillard reaction. Independent variables were NaCl concentration of hydrolyzed wheat gluten ($X_1$), concentration of ribose ($X_2$) and concentration of hydrolyzed wheat gluten ($X_3$), while the dependent variables of the central composite design (CCD) were browning index (absorbance 420 nm), DPPH radical scavenging activity (DF) and sensory preference (score). Optimum substrate conditions at $140^{\circ}C$, 30 min reaction were 3% NaCl concentration of hydrolyzed wheat gluten, 6.2% concentration of ribose and 13.27% concentration of hydrolyzed wheat gluten. The coefficients of determination ($R^2$) were 0.975, 0.960 and 0.854, the model fit was very significant (p<0.001). DPPH radical scavenging activities and sensory preferences were predicted as 700 (DF) and 8.42 (score), respectively. The model solution increased more browning and DPPH radical scavenging activities with increasing ribose and hydrolyzed wheat gluten concentration. Especially hydrolyzed wheat gluten concentration was the most influential factor, while NaCl concentration of hydrolyzed wheat gluten hardly affected the responses. Sensory preference was increased with rising wheat gluten concentration and decreasing NaCl concentration of hydrolyzed wheat gluten.

In order to understand the biological environmental characteristics with temporal variations of the physico-chemical factors in 2012 Yeosu Expo site of Korea, we investigated at one station, once per week, from April 2006 to December 2007. The surface water temperature ranged from 6.8 to $27.8^{\circ}C$ and the bottom water temperature ranged from 6.3 to 25.9 $25.9^{\circ}C$. The salinity varied from 12.8 to 33.0 psu in the surface water and from 25.2 to 33.6 psu in the bottom water. A strong halocline was observed between the surface and bottom layers in the summer when a rapid decrease of salinity coincided with heavy rainfall. The DIN concentration ranged from 1.36 to $82.7{\mu}M$ in the surface water and from 0.82 to $25.2{\mu}M$ in the bottom water. Phosphate concentration varied from 0.06 to $2.13{\mu}M$ in the surface water and from 0.07 to $1.38{\mu}M$ in the bottom water. Silicate was $1.68-52.0{\mu}M$ in the surface water and $1.37-30.7{\mu}M$ in the bottom water. The nutrient concentrations were generally high during heavy rainfalls and low water temperature periods, and considerably decreased in spring and autumn. The N/P ratio ranged from 4.43 to 325 in the surface water and from 3.8 to 321 in the bottom water. It increased rapidly during the heavy rainfall season and remained at a value of approximately 16 in other periods. The chlorophyll a concentration ranged from 0.46 to $65.0{\mu}g$ $L^{-1}$ in the surface water and from 0.71 to $15.0{\mu}g$ $L^{-1}$ in the bottom water. $Chl-{\alpha}$ concentration remained low in periods of low water temperature, however rapidly increased in periods of high water temperature. From the results of principal component analysis (PCA) and multiple regression analysis (MRA), we conclude that temporal variations of physico-chemical and biological factors were greatly affected by the influx of fresh water, and that nutrients were well controlled by their uptake and assimilation by phytoplankton. Also, during the low water temperature periods, environmental structure in this study site was affected by recycled nutrients through nutrient cycling and mineralization.

The effects of taurine, carnitine or glutamine supplementation on endurance exercise performance along with related fatigue factors were evaluated in male college students in the Department of Physical Education, who's maximal oxygen consumption rates (VO$_2$max) were equivalent to those of endurance athletes. Twenty four subjects were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=6), and given placebo, taurine (4 g/day), carnitine (4 g/day), or glutamine (4 g/day) tablets for 2 weeks. Subjects could run 6.9 min or 9.0 min longer until exhausted on a treadmill at the intensity of 75% VO$_2$max following taurine or camitine supplementation for 2 weeks, respectively, compared to the value measured prior to each supplementation. Glutamine or placebo supplementation did not improve the endurance exercise performance based on the running time until exhausted on a treadmill. Serum lactate concentrations measured 1 hr after the initiation of the endurance exercise, as well as at all-out state tended to be decreased by taurine, carnitine, or glutamine supplementation, and were significantly lowered (43% decrease) by carnitine supplementation (p < 0.05). Taurine supplementation significantly reduced the serum inorganic phosphorus concentration measured at all-out state (14% decrease, p < 0.05), while carnitine supplementation significantly lowered the resting state serum inorganic phosphorus level (20% decrease, p < 0.05). Taurine (32% reduction) or carnitine (23% reduction) supplementation significantly decreased serum ammonia concentration measured at all-out state (p < 0.05). From these results, 4 g/day of taurine or carnitine supplementation appears to improve the endurance exercise performance and related human fatigue factors.

This study was performed to provide basic quality characteristics data of Kimchi by storage containers that will be applied for Kimchi storage container development of new material. In all storage containers, pH was decreased with increased storage days, while acidity was increased with increased storage days, The changes of pH and acidity by storage containers were alumina < stainless < bio < plastic. Salt content was same to all containers. In all storage containers, reducing sugars of Kimchi at first were 22.65${\pm}$0.04$\^$a/ mg/mL. But as these of alumina, stainless, bio and plastic at storage after 31 days were 11.18${\pm}$0.15$\^$a/ mg/mL, 5.39${\pm}$0.02$\^$b/, 3.74${\pm}$0.10$\^$c/, and 3.14${\pm}$0.02$\^$d/ mg/mL, respectively. The hardness, cohesiveness and gumminess of Kimchi by storage containers decreased with increased storage days. And the changes ratio of these were alumina < stainless < bio < plastic. The desirable organoleptic characteristic such as sourness, fresh cabbage taste and firmness were long time maintained at alumina container A significant evidence was detected that the alumina container showed less quality change than that of bio, stainless and plastic containers as storage days increased.

To study characteristics of the water quality in the Hansan-Geoje bay, we analyzed the long term monitoring data collected at the two sites during the period of 1987~2010. The trophic state of the waters in Hansan-Geoje bay was the mesotrophic level by the classification of Wasmud et al.[2001]. The water nutrients increased steadily from a wet season (Aug.), it reached the maximum concentration peak in a dry season (Nov.), and then decreased steadily to the winter, it reached at the minimum value in May in the next year. The result of factor analysis divided the waters of Hansan-Geoje bay into the five factors (nutrient, season, inflow land water, pollution, internal production) and the factors represented the 76.82% on the status of the waters. According to time series analysis, temperature, DO and bottom DIP were increased, and pH and COD were decreased during the period of 1987~2010. In particular, the fluctuation trend of DIN has been turned from oversupply to shortage by the N/P ratio since before and after 1990's. The water quality of the Hansan-Geoje bay has been recovered except DIP since 1987, despite of its geographical characteristic which is a general semi-closesd bay and a massive aqua-culture ground. To preserve the waters in Hansan-Geoje bay, we need to know on the cause of the increase or accumulation of DIP, and we should continue to study on the interrelation between the aqua-culture and water environment.

In this study, we produced kimchi with cooked Dioscorea batatas yam. Sliced kimchi cabbage, processed white radish kimchi (kkakdugi), and whole kimchi cabbage were prepared with 3% Dioscorea batatas, the nutritional and sensory properties were evaluated. The three types of D. opposita kimchi showed energy content in the range of 35-40 kcal per 100 g, and no crude fat, saturated fat, trans fat, or cholesterol was detected. Sodium content was 450-650 mg, with sliced cabbage kimchi showing the highest concentration. The vitamin C content increased significantly after 28 days of storage, with the sliced cabbage kimchi and whole-cabbage kimchi showing larger increases than the radish kimchi. All three types of D. opposita kimchi showed high Ca, K, and Mg contents. The whole-cabbage kimchi maintained salinity at a level of 2.38-2.72% from immediately after preparation to 28 days of storage compared to sliced cabbage kimchi and radish kimchi. Sliced cabbage and whole kimchi cabbage kimchi showed an increase in lightness and a decrease in redness with longer storage duration. Compared to the control groups, the experimental groups (with added D. opposita) showed higher yellowness. The hardness of the three types of kimchi decreased with longer storage duration. In sensory evaluation, there were no significant differences between the control groups and the experimental groups.

This study was conducted on the immunoregulatory effect of Saengshik on gut-associated lymphoid tissue with inflammatory bowel disease. Although the contents of IgA increased in mesenteric lymph node, IgE content was suppressed by Saengshik. The same results were found in spleen, but IgA and IgE responses were very weak. Concentration of fecal IgA was high from the first day through the third day in Saengshik group. In DSS + Saengshik group, concentration of IgA was high till the 2nd day and it maintained the highest level among the test groups on 5th day. Concentration of IFN-gamma and IL-2 was the highest in the Saengshik group, but the concentration of TNF-alpha was lower in DSS + Saengshik compared to DSS. The expressions of STAT1 in Saengshik group were high, while those of STAT6 were low According to these findings, Saengshik exhibited effectiveness via increasing the IgA production, suppressing the IgE production, followed by inhibiting the production of IL-4 and IL-10. Saengshik also strengthened the immune system and alleviated injury in DSS -induced inflammation.

From June 2007 to May 2008, seasonal variations of bacterial abundance and heterotrophic nanoflagellate (HNF), together with environmental factors, were investigated at weekly and monthly intervals in Kyeonggi Bay. During the study period, the water temperature and salinity varied from $1.9^{\circ}C{\sim}29.0^{\circ}C$ and 31~35.1 psu, respectively. The concentration of ammonia, nitrate+nitrite, phosphate, and silicate ranged from 0.01 to $3.22{\mu}M$, 2.03 to $15.34{\mu}M$, 0.06 to $1.82{\mu}M$, and 0.03 to $18.3{\mu}M$, respectively. The annual average concentration of Chl. a varied from $0.86{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$ to $37.70{\mu}g\;L^{-1}$; the concentration was twice as much at the surface than at the deeper layers. The abundance of bacteria and HNF ranged from $0.29{\times}10^6$ to $7.62{\times}10^6cells\;mL^{-1}$ and $1.00{\times}10^2$ to $1.26{\times}10^3cells\;mL^{-1}$, respectively. In particular, there were significant correlations between bacteria and HNF abundance (p<0.05), and then the high abundance of HNF was frequently observed with an increase of bacterial abundance in summer (p<0.001). Our results therefore indicate that bacterial abundance in the bay was mainly controlled by resources supplied as organic and inorganic substances from Lake Shihwa due to the daily water exchange after dike construction. Also, the bacterial abundance was significantly controlled by HNF grazing pressure (top-down) in the warm seasons, i.e. excluding winter, in the Kyeonggi Bay.

This study was designed to evaluate the effects of arthritis and comorbid chronic conditions on the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in the Korean older population. The study subjects were 2,708 Korean adults aged 65 and older from the $3^{rd}$ Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys data: 1,357 persons with a single chronic condition, such as arthritis, herniations of the intervertebral disc, osteoporosis, asthma, peptic ulcers, stroke, or cataract; 886 persons with arthritis and a second chronic condition described above; and 465 persons with no chronic condition. An analysis of covariance was performed to compare the EQ-5D index among the groups. The effects of arthritis, second chronic condition and their interactions were analyzed by multiple linear regression analysis. The results are as follows. Compared to men with arthritis only, men with stroke only, stroke and arthritis, or cataract and arthritis had a lower age adjusted EQ-5D index. Women with a stroke only, asthma only, cataract only, osteoporosis and arthritis, peptic ulcer and arthritis, stroke and arthritis, or cataract and arthritis had a lower age adjusted EQ-5D index than women with arthritis only. Arthritis and comorbid conditions had additive effects on the HRQol in both genders except for arthritis and stroke in women. In conclusion, comorbid chronic medical conditions in older people with arthritis may reduce the HRQoL in an additive manner.

Haptophyta(이하 하프토조로 표기)는 그 일부종이 toxin을 가지며, 더욱이 이들 종들이 원인 생물로 발생하는 bloom으로 인한 경제적 피해 발생 등으로 인해 최근 여러 나라에서 활발한 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 남해안 일대의 몇몇 어ㆍ패류 양식장에서 이용하고 있는 식물먹이생물 및 동물먹이생물의 배양수조 내에서 배양을 목적으로 하는 먹이생물 이외의 혼재 생물의 종류를 조사하던 중 Haptophyta의 Prymnesium속 생물이 혼재하고 있는 것을 발견하였으며, 혼재된 Prymnesium은 양식 패류의 인공 종묘 생산 과정에서 사육 치패의 먹이로 이용되는 식물먹이생물 Isochrysis galbana의 증식을 크게 억제하였고, 더욱이 Prymnesium이 혼재된 Isochrysis galbana를 인공 종묘생산 중이던 치패에 투이한 결과 치패 모두가 폐사에 이르는 것을 관찰하였다. 이에 Isochrysis galbana의 배양 수조내에 Prymnesium이 혼입 하였을 경우 Isochrysis galbana의 증식양상을 알아보기 위해, Isochrysis galbana의 세포밀도를 5,440,000cells/ml로 하고 Prymnesium의 세포밀도를 10,000cells/ml로 하여 혼합 배양한 결과 배양개시 1일 후의 각 세포밀도는 Isochrysis galbana가 1,040,000cells/ml로 급격히 저하하였으며, 이와는 달리 Prymnesium은 50,000cells/ml로 증가하였다. 이들 종 각각의 증가 및 감소추세는 계속되어 배양개시 5일 후에는 Isochrysis galbana가 530,000cells/ml로 처음 배양당시 세포수의 90% 이상 감소하였고, Prymnesium은 43,333cells/ml로 4배 이상 증가하였다. 이 실험에서 Isochrysis galana의 세포수가 감소하는 이유는 정확히 알 수는 없으나, 하프토조의 일부 종에서는 광합성을 통한 유기물합성 이외에도 외부로부터의 DOC(dissolved organic carbon)를 직접 배양수로부터 취하거나 또는 영양염 제한 조건에서는 food particle을 섭취하는 경우가 있는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 한편, 이들 Haptopyta가 양식장에서 이용되어지는 해수를 통해 유입되는지를 알아보기 위해 모래여과조를 통과한 해수를 플랑크톤 배양용 배지의 첨가 없이 배양한 결과, Haptophyta의 Prymnesium, Chrysochromulina 및 Phaeocystis 둥의 수 종이 출현하였으며, 일부 종의 경우는 일정기간 지속적으로 배양되어짐을 알 수 있었다.
