최근 화두가 되고 있는 환경문제 중 하나로 녹조현상을 꼽을 수 있다. 녹조란 남세균이 대량 증식함으로써 물빛이 녹색으로 변하는 현상으로, 영양염류 및 수온 등 이화학적 요소뿐만 아니라체류시간과 같은 수리학적 요인까지 모두 충족되었을 때 발생한다. 심하면 고밀도의 스컴(scum)을 형성하며 독소와 악취를 동반하기도 한다. 유해 남세균이 생성하는 마이크로시스틴(microcystin, MC)이 함유된 물을 입 또는 코로 섭취시 간을 손상시킨다는 보고가 있으며, 최근 해외에서는 MC가 미세먼지처럼 공기 중에 떠다니다 수변에서 생활하는 사람의 호흡기로 들어가 건강 피해를 줄 수 있다는 연구가 속속 나오고 있다. 본 연구는 우리나라 최초의 수질개선용 댐인 영주댐을 연구 대상으로 삼아 수질 모델링을 구축하고 영주댐 운영에 따른 댐 상·하류 조류 변화를 정량적으로 분석하였다. 조류의 강도를 추정하는데 클로로필-a 농도를 사용하였으며, 분석 도구로는 국립환경과학원이 수질예측 및 평가 시 사용하는 EFDC(Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code) 모형을 활용하였다. 대상 구간의 실제 폭, 하상고 분포 등을 고려하여 수표면 격자망을 구현하였으며, 환경부에서 제공하는 수위 및 DO, TN, T-P, 클로로필-a 등을 활용하여 EFDC 모형의 수리 및 수질 재현성 검토를 하였다. 검·보정된 EFDC 모형으로 영주댐의 방류량 변화 및 댐의 개방과 같은 수리학적 요인을 제어하여 특정 지점의 조류 변화를 분석하였다.

Objectives: To investigate the characteristics of topical agents including natural products using for atopic dermatitis treatment via a review on the cases and clinical trials. Methods: Through a search on Pubmed, EMBASE, Cochrane library, DBPIA, NDSL, and OASIS, we selected papers that applied natural products externally for atopic dermatitis and analyzed them. Results: Finally, Seventeen papers were selected. As the primary outcome, changes in the SCORAD and EASI, were the most used. The most frequent type of external formulation was cream. In terms of the frequency of use, it was used at least twice a day in all studies. When evaluated based on SCORAD, EASI, SH and TEWL, the improvement effect on atopic dermatitis was highest when the ointment formulation and the moisturizer formulation were used. A few side effects of topical agents including natural products were observed, but most were mild symptoms and no serious side effects occurred. Conclusion: This study is meaningful in that it has drawn a significant trend for studies that have been published in the last 5 years that contain a single intervention for topical agents including natural products, and that it presents the direction and evidence for the application of external therapy to increase the therapeutic effect of atopic dermatitis.

그간 농식품부에서는 세계 여러나라와의 협상을 통해 2021년 6월 기준 홍콩, UAE, 캄보디아, 말레이시아로 수출 가능국을 확대한 것은 사실이나 2015년 한우고기 홍콩 첫 수출 이후 타 국가의 수출실적은 전무한 상황이다. 우리나라의 경우 쇠고기 수출 관련 할랄 인프라가 전무한 것이 가장 큰 문제이지만 더불어 할랄 시장에 대한 이해도와 시장상황에 대한 자료가 부족하여 관련 농가 및 업체들이 투자를 꺼려하는 것도 문제점 중 하나로 지적되고 있다. 본 연구팀은 세계 할랄 시장의 큰 축을 담당하고 있는 UAE, 말레이시아 중 할랄 도축관련 비관세 장벽이 비교적 낮은 말레이시아의 시장조사 및 관련기관 인터뷰를 실시하여 말레이시아 시장에서 한우고기의 가격경쟁력을 분석하였다. 조사·분석 결과 한우고기 1++등급의 경우 수출 조건(냉장/냉동) 및 경로(항공/해상)와 상관없이 사태, 앞다리를 제외한 모든 부분육에서 가격경쟁력이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 한우고기 1+등급의 경우 수출 조건(냉장/냉동) 및 경로(항공/해상)와 상관없이 사태, 앞다리를 제외한 모든 부분육에서 가격경쟁력이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 한우고기 1등급의 경우 수출 조건(냉장/냉동) 및 경로(항공/해상)와 상관없이 등심, 채끝 부분육에서 가격경쟁력이 있는 것으로 나타났다.

살아있는(in-vivo)실험체에서 여러 차례 획득된 영상의 관심영역 특성을 측정, 분석하기 위한 영상처리기법의 정확성은 동물을 희생시켜(in-vitro) 촬영한 영상과의 정량적 비교분석을 통해 검증할 수 있다. 하지만 육안검사에 의존한 기존 분석방법은 객관성이 떨어지는 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 in-vivo영상인 PET 영상과, in-vitro영상인 Autoradiography 영상에서 관심영역 특성을 객관적, 정량적으로 비교하는 방법을 제안한다. 종양을 심은 누드마우스에 방사성 동위원소를 표지하여 획득한 이 두 영상에서 종양 조직 성장 지표가 되는 체적과 조직의 활성도를 나타내는 방사능섭취량(SUV)을 각각 측정하고 이를 비교하였다. 또한 두 영상획득의 시간차에 의해 방사성동위원소가 붕괴되어 영상 전체의 명암도가 감소하게 되므로 시간에 반비례하게 변하는 방사성동위원소의 양을 고려하여 영상명암도를 보정하였다.

An estuary is an area where a freshwater river or stream meets the ocean. Even before the importance of the value of estuaries was recognized, the estuary was lost because of large-scale conversion by draining, filling, damming, and dredging. In South Korea, 643 estuaries are located, and the total area is 3,248,300 ha, accounting for 32.5% of the total area of South Korea. Over 35% of Korean estuaries are closed estuaries which are only temporally connected with the sea, either permanently or periodically. Since 2008, in order to preserve the estuary ecosystem and solve major issues in the estuary by accumulating knowledge about the estuarine ecosystem, the Ministry of Environment of Republic of Korea has been conducting the "Estuarine Ecosystem Monitoring and Assessment Project". At 668 sites of 325 estuaries, epilithic diatom, benthic macroinvertebrate, fish, and vegetation are investigated, and the habitat condition of each site is evaluated using the newly developed biotic index. More than 100 researchers annually record 2,097 species of estuaries according to the standardized survey guidelines over the past 14 years and provide strictly managed data necessary for establishing estuaries conservation policies. As a result of bibliometric analysis of 1,195 research articles related to the monitoring and assessment of the estuarine ecosystem, research on pollutants such as heavy metals and sediment control have recently been conducted. "Estuarine Ecosystem Monitoring and Assessment Project" is an ecological monitoring type of long-term mandated monitoring that is usually focused on identifying trends. Although it is difficult to identify the mechanism influencing a change in an ecosystem through long-term mandated monitoring, providing empirical data for supporting evidence-based policy, decision-making, and the management of ecosystems. In order to increase the efficiency of the project, research to investigate the relationship between sediments and pollutants and organisms can be conducted at specific estuaries or sites to compensate for the shortcomings of mandatory monitoring.

There is a growing interest in rice cultivation on farms with irrigation facilities in desert climates. We investigated the growth characteristics and yields of two rice cultivars (FL478 and Asemi) irrigated at field capacities (FCs) of 80%, 100%, and 120% in a lysimeter with coarse sandy soils. The results showed that at the heading stage, the FC 100% treatment had the highest plant height and number of tillers between the two cultivars. At the harvest period, the culm and panicle lengths of both cultivars at FC 100% were similar to those of the control. In contrast, the number of panicles, grain number per panicle, and percentage of ripened grains were the highest in the control. Moreover, FL478 and Asemi had the highest grain yields of 1.40 and 2.20 kg·pot^-1 in the control, respectively. For both cultivars, the grain yields of the FC 100% and FC 120% treatments were approximately 70% of the control. In comparison, FL478 and Asemi had the highest water productivity of 0.45 and 0.63 kg·m^3-1 for the FC 80% treatment, followed by the FC 100% treatment (0.42 and 0.59 kg·m^3-1, respectively), which was nearly 14.3% and 20.3% higher than that of the control. Therefore, we found that irrigation at FC 100% is anticipated to be effective in managing surface drip irrigation for rice cultivation in desert climates in arid environments, while maintaining rice yields.

Purpose: The purpose of this randomized clinical trial is to determine whether implant length and the crown-to-implant (C/I) ratio influence implant stability and peri-implant marginal bone loss (MBL). Materials and Methods: 46 patients with single tooth missing in the posterior molar region of the mandible were included in this study. 19 implants (CMI IS-III $active^{(R)}$ long implant) of 5.0 mm diameter and 10 mm length were installed for the control group, while 27 implants (CMI IS-III $active^{(R)}$ short implant) of 5.5 mm diameter and 6.6, 7.3 or 8.5 mm length were placed for the experimental group. Each implant was inserted and immediately loaded using the digitally pre-fabricated surgical template and provisional restoration. The CAD-CAM monolithic zirconia crown was fabricated at 3 months after the surgery as a definitive restoration. The ISQ value and the MBL was measured at 48 weeks after the surgery. The correlation between the C/I ratio, MBL, and secondary implant stability was analyzed. Results: Successful results in terms of ISQ and MBL were achieved with both groups. There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of ISQ values and MBL at 48 weeks after the surgery (P > 0.05). No significant correlation was found between the C/I ratio and secondary stability as well as the C/I ratio and the MBL (P > 0.05). Conclusion: The influence of C/I ratio in both groups was not shown on the stability nor the marginal bone loss in implants supporting single crown of the mandible. Short implant could be a preferable alternative option in the reduced bone height mandible under the limited condition despite its higher C/I ratio.

This study aimed to investigate the biological activities and amino acid content in the mixtures of roasted edible mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus, and Lentinula edodes) and grain additives (oat and brown rice) obtained under different extraction conditions for the development of mushroom tea. The total amount of polyphenol and β-glucan in edible mushrooms was increased with the roasting treatment compared to that observed with the air-drying treatment. In addition, DPPH radical scavenging activity and the amount of all amino acid components, including glutamic acid (Glu), were higher in the oat extracts than those observed in the brown rice. The biological activities and nutrient content were examined based on extraction temperatures and thetime required to obtain the mixtures of edible mushrooms and grain additives. The extract of a 1:1 mixture of L. edodes + oat (LE+O) obtained at 100℃, 3 min showed high DPPH radical scavenging activity (33.5%), and the extract of 3:1 mixture of P. ostreatus + brown rice (PO+B) obtained at 100℃, 3 min showed high nitrite scavenging activity (49.9%). The total polyphenol content of the extract of 3:1 mixture of P. ostreatus + brown rice (PO+B) was the highest when obtained at 16.2 mg GAE/g and+ brown rice (PO+B) was the highest when obtained at 16.2 mg GAE/g and 70℃, 10 min. The essential amino acid content was higher in the 1:1 mixing ratio of P. ostreatus + oat (PO+O) and P. ostreatus + brown rice (PO+B) and 3:1 mixing ratio. L. edodes + oat (LE+O) and L. edodes + brown rice (LE+B) compared to that observed in other mixing ratios.
