In this study, we investigated the preventive and therapeutic effects of antler-extract for osteoporosis. Rats were ovariectomized bilaterally and were fed up with Ca- and P-free diet in order to induce osteoporosis. Body weight, organ weight, the weight of femur and bone ash quantity were examined for 5 weeks. We also performed histological and electronical microscopic examinations. 1. After adminstration of female and male antler extract to osteoporosis-induced rats at the doses of 625 and 1250 mg/kg, respectively, the body weights were significantly increased compared with those of normal control group's which was 230.2:t2.3-281.0:t2.5g (p＜0.05). 2. The weights of both right and left femur of osteoporosis-induced rats, administered with female or male antler-extract, little decreased compared with those of normal control group. 3. The bone ash quanties of femur of osteoporosis-induced rats, administered with female or male antler-extract, little decreased compared with those of normal control group. 4. The weights of liver, spleen, and kidney of osteoporosis-induced rats, administered with female or male antler-extract, decreased compared with those of normal control group. 5. Histological and electronic microscopical findings were (1) that in normal control rats the connectional of lacunae appeared well and were without loss of bone mineral, (2) that in ovariectomized rats the connections of lacunae were mostly broken and were with loss of bone mineral compared with those of normal control rats, (3) that in osteoporosis-induced rats, administrated with female or male antler-extract, the shape of lacunae and the connections of them were similar to those of normal control rats. These findings suggest a possible protective and therapeutic effects of female or male antler extract against bone loss in ovariectomized rats.

Recently, there has been a growing global interest in environmental conservation, and the field of electric power equipment has been working to become more environment-friendly. Accordingly the 154[kV] low noise transformer is developed through the research. The low noise transformer decreases the audible noise level but the low noise transformer has several changes in the increase of weight and volume and the application of rubber damper. Therefore it is necessary to inspect the test, transportation, installation and operation about field application. In this paper, we investigate the standards of the audible noise level, the weight and volume of the transportation, the installation space and operation in order for effective field application.

최근 세계시장이 Al-Casting 외함(알루미늄 주물탱크)을 적용한 GCB(Gas Circuit Breaker) 및 GIS(Gas Insulated Switchgear)를 선호하고 있으며, 이는 철재 외함에 비해 많은 이점을 갖고 있기 때문이다. 알루미늄 외함은 철재 용접형 제품에 비해 중량이 가벼워 취급 및 운반이 용이할 뿐 아니라 장기 사용 시에도 발청의 우려가 없으며, 2층 이상의 건물에 신설 또는 증설시 건물의 중량 제한에 따른 제약 조건에서 훨씬 자유롭다. 또한 Casting은 Welding형에 비해 분기부 전계 강도가 유리하고, 알루미늄은 철에 비해 열발생량이 적어 외함크기 축소가 가능하다. 또한 제작공정이 철재 용접외함에 비해 단순하고 대량생산에 유리하다. 이로 인해 외함이 표준화되고 GIS 모듈화가 완성되면 기종별 Series화하여 대량생산 체제 구축에 유리하게 된다. 점진적인 인건비 상승으로 용접형 외함의 단가상승이 예상되며, GCB의 경우 Al Casting형이 원가면에서도 유리하다. 이에 당사 GCB 및 GIS 제품 경쟁력 향상 및 수출시장 적극공략을 목적으로 현행 GCB 및 GIS 철재 용접형외함을 알루미늄 Casting 외함으로의 변경, 개발을 실시하였다. 본 연구에서는 Al Casting 외함을 개발하기 위한 일련의 과정에 대해 소개한다.

This study was to demonstrate the additional effect of fat-soluble vitamins on inhibitory action of Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer) saponin to lipoperoxide formation in vitro and in vivo. The ginseng saponin and vitamins were added to the substrate of linoleic acid and incubated on a shaking water-bath at $60^{\circ}C$, and the inhibitory action on lipoperoxide formation was examined by measuring the TBA value (532 nm), POV (500 nm) and EDA (electorn donating ability to ${\alpha}$, ${\alpha}$-diphenyl-${\beta}$-picrylhydrazyl at 525nm) for in vitro. The ginseng saponin and vitamins were administered to Sprague-Dawley rats (♂, 100~120g) orally, and the inhibitory effect on lipoperoxide formation was examined by measuring the TBA value in vivo. EDA to DPPH of ginseng saponin added with vitamin A and D were higher than that of ginseng saponin only. Ginseng saponin added with vitamin A and D inhibited strongly lipoperoxide formation of initial step by extension of induction period in vitro. Fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamin E and A were approved the additional effect on inhibitory action of lipoperoxide formation in vitro. The additional effect of fat-soluble vitamins to ginseng saponin for inhibitory action of lipoperoxide formation was effective vitamin E and D for blood, vitamin A and E for liver in vivo.

An on-board truck scale is an essential technical solution for preventing overload, which makes the driver aware of the commercial vehicle weight. This study analyzed the effects of the driving pattern and transportation efficiency by the IoT Platform service for an on-board truck scale. A comparison of before and after installation using the long-term monitored data confirmed the reduction effects both of the overload ratio and overweight value, and their effects on increasing the transportation efficiency. In addition, the analysis result of the driving route showed that the installation of an on-board truck scale could be a more effective way of preventing overload than increasing the weighing checkpoints.

We estimate the momentum fluxes of short-period gravity waves which are observed in the OI 557.7 nm nightglow emission with all-sky camera at Mt. Bohyun ($36.2^{\circ}\;N,\;128.9^{\circ}\;E$) in Korea. The intrinsic phase speed ($C_{int}$), the intrinsic period (${\tau}_{int}$), and vertical wavelength (${\lambda}_z$) are also deduced from the horizontal wavelength (${\lambda}_h$), observed period (${\tau}_{ob}$), propagation direction (${\phi}_{ob}$), observe phase speed (${\upsilon}_{ob}$) of the gravity wave on the all-sky images. The neutral winds to deduce intrinsic wave parameters are measured with Fabry-Perot interferometer on Shigaraki ($34.8^{\circ}\;N,\;13.1^{\circ}\;E$) in Japan. We selected 5-nights of observations during the period between July 2002 and December 2006 considering of the weather and instrument conditions in two observation sites. The mean values of intrinsic parameter of gravity waves are $({\tau}_{int})\;=\;12.9\;{\pm}\;6.1\;m/s,\;({\lambda}_z)\;=\;12.9\;{\pm}\;6.5,\;and\;(C_{int})\;=\;40.6\;{\pm}\;11.6\;min$. The mean value of calculated momentum fluxes for four nights besides of ${\lambda}_z\;<\;6\;km$ is $12.0\;{\pm}\;15.2\;m^2/s^2$. It is needed the long-term coherent observation to obtain typical values of momentum fluxes of the mesospheric gravity waves using all-sky camera and the neutral wind measurements.

This experiment was undertaken to investigate the effect of black pepper (BP) added to food on a living body and to determine the growth rate, digestibility, weight of organs, composition of blood and liver in the rat. Fifty-six male rats of Sprague-Dawley strain, weight $120{\pm}10g$, were divided into 4 groups and were fed ad libitum for 8 weeks. Experimental diets were divided into 4 groups. Each groups were separately added 0%, 0.5%, 2.0% and 5.0% of BP level. The results obtained are summarized as follows. The highest net weight of liver and heart generally increased according to increasing amount of BP and that of spleen and lung were not significantly different. Kidney weight was significantly higher in the group of containing 5.0% BP. Serum GOT and GPT were not significant, serum glucose was significantly lower in the group of containing 5.0% BP, and serum cholesterol was significantly higher in the group of containing 5.0% BP. Total serum protein decreased gradually as the amount of BP increased, but albumin and globulin were nor affect. Serum Na and K were not significant, but serum Ca and P were decreased as the amount of BP was increased. Liver crude lipid and crude protein were not affect. In fatty acid composition, arachidonic acid was significantly lower in the group of containing 5.0% BP.

This study was conducted to determination of the endocrine distruptor function of 'Parabens' by dosing ethyl paraben, propyl paraben, isopropyl paraben, butyl paraben and isobutyl paraben to the immature SD rats. 18 groups were given vehicle control group, negative control group (Dibutyl phthalate), postive control group ($1'7-{\alpha}$ Ethynylestrdiol) and each paraben groups involved 3 dose level. Rats were injected with 62.5, 250 and 1,000mg/kg from postnatal day 19 till 21 once a day in subcutaneous and a total 3, times. There was no treatment related death. but, subcutaneous nodule, edema, alopecia and scrub formation on injection site was observed. These signs was become worse in high dose level. these signs was cause from physical stimulation by test substance which parabens were mix with com oil as vehicle. In the analysis of organ weights, absolute and relative weights of brain, spleen, liver, thymus, heart, kidneys, adrenals, ovaries and vagina were no difference with control group. but, wet and blotted weight of uterus was increased in every high dose parabens treat group. Especially, all dose level of isobutyl paraben was showed increment of uterus weight. uterus dilatation of parabens treated group was observed in gross anatomic pathology and these result was agree with wet and blotted weight of uterus. In the result of this study, estrogenic effect as endocrine distruptor was observed in ethyl paraben, propyl paraben, isopropyl paraben, butyl paraben and isobutyl paraben. and it was considered isobutyl paraben has highest estrogrnic effect under the condition of this study.
