This study was carried out to examine the effect of Red LED (660 nm) and fluorescent lamp for night break (NB) treatments of each 3 hours (22:30-01:30), 4 hours (22:00-02:00) and 5 hours (21:30-:02:30) per day for 53 days on flower bud initiation and growth in Chrysanthemum cv. 'Baekma' and cv. 'Jinba'. The days to flower budding after short-day treatment in 'Baekma' was longer at fluorescent lamp 4 hr (21.0 days) and 5 hr (20.5 days) NB, and it was shorter at Red LED 3 hr (14.2 days). The days to flowering after short-day treatment in 'Baekma' was longer at fluorescent lamp 4 hr (54.0 days), 5 hr (53.5 days) NB, and Red LED 5 hr (53.3 days), and it was shortest at Red LED 3 hr (50.2 days) NB treatment among all treatments. The days to flower budding after short-day treatment of 'Jinba' was longer at fluorescent lamp 4 hr (20.6 days) and was shorter at Red LED 3 hr (14.1 days) among all treatments. Similarly, the days to flowering after short-day treatment of 'Jinba' was longer at fluorescent lamp 4 hr (55.3 days) and was shortest at Red LED 3 hr (50.2 days) among all treatments. Therefore, inhibition of flower bud initiation was the most effective under fluorescent lamp 4 hr treatment. The length of cut flower of 'Baekma' was increased by fluorescent lamp 4 hr, 5 hr, and Red LED 5 hr, but of 'Jinba' was longer at LED 4 hr and 5 hr treatment. The weight of cut flower of 'Baekma' was heaviest at fluorescent lamp 5 hr treatment and was at Red LED 5hr treatment for 'Jinba' even though there was not statistically significant difference between 'Baekma' and 'Jinba'. Consequently, under fluorescent lamp 4 hr for night break was the most effective on flower bud initiation, flowering inhibition and cut-flower characteristics in 'Baekma' and 'Jinba'.

Objective: To investigate the long-term effects of 4-hexylresorcinol (4HR) on facial skeletal growth in growing male rats, with a focus on diabetic animal models. Methods: Forty male rats were used. Of them, type 1 diabetes mellitus was induced in 20 animals by administering 40 mg/kg streptozotocin (STZ), and they were assigned to either the STZ or 4HR-injected group (STZ/4HR group). The remaining 20 healthy rats were divided into control and 4HR groups. We administered 4HR subcutaneously at a weekly dose of 10 mg/kg until the rats were euthanized. At 16 weeks of age, whole blood was collected, and microcomputed tomography of the skull and femur was performed. Results: All craniofacial linear measurements were smaller in the STZ group than in the control group. The mandibular molar width was significantly smaller in the 4HR group than in the control group (P = 0.031) but larger in the STZ/4HR group than in the STZ group (P = 0.011). Among the diabetic animals, the STZ/4HR group exhibited significantly greater cortical bone thickness, bone mineral density, and bone volume than the STZ group. Serum testosterone levels were also significantly higher in the STZ/4HR group than in the STZ group. Conclusions: 4HR administration may have divergent effects on mandibular growth and bone mass in healthy and diabetic rats. In the context of diabetes, 4HR appears to have beneficial effects, potentially through the modulation of mitochondrial respiration.

Objectives : The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of wogonin on the production of hydrogen peroxide in polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid (poly I:C)-stimulated TM4 mouse sertoli cells. Methods : TM4 were treated with poly I:C (50 ug/mL) and wogonin at concentrations of 5, 10, 25, and 50 µM for 30 min, 2 hr, 12 hr, 18 hr, and 24 hr. The production of intracellular hydrogen peroxide was measured by dihydrorhodamine 123 assay. Results : For 30 min, 2 hr, 12 hr, 18 hr, and 24 hr treatment, wogonin significantly inhibited intracellular hydrogen peroxide productions of TM4 at the concentration of 5, 10, 25, and 50 µM (p<0.05). In details, production of hydrogen peroxide in poly I:C-stimulated TM4 treated for 30 min with wogonin at concentrations of 5, 10, 25, and 50 µM was 95.67%, 92.69%, 92.05%, and 91.97% of the control group treated with poly I:C only, respectively; the production of hydrogen peroxide for 2 hr was 94.44%, 94.41%, 93%, and 92.98%, respectively; production of hydrogen peroxide for 12 hr was 96.78%, 95.32%, 94.33%, and 93.17%, respectively; production of hydrogen peroxide for 18 hr was 94.7%, 93.4%, 93.38%, and 93.35%, respectively; and production of hydrogen peroxide for 24 hr was 95.75%, 94.77%, 94.58%, and 92.8%, respectively. Conclusions : Wogonin might have anti-viral property related with its inhibition of intracellular hydrogen peroxide production in poly I:C-stimulated TM4 cells.

The content of total lipid, cholesterol and fatty acid in Korean styled various beef broths was examined before and during toiling to determine the influence of cooking time. The values obtained from the broths of brisket, ox-tail and small-intestine were determined by using G. C. The highest total lipid value among small-intestine, brisket and ok-tail was in the small-intestine. The content of total lipid in the boiled meat decreased during cooking with the exception of the brisket. Total lipid content found in the broth of brisket meat increased until 6hr and thell decreased at cooking time of 8hr and 10 hr. The highest total lipid contents in the broths of brisket, ox-tail and small-intestine were found when the cooking time were 6 hr, 10 hr and 4 hr, respectively. The main fatty acids found in the broths of brisket, ok-tail and small-intestine were $C_{14}$, $C_{16}$, $C_{18}$, $C_{18:1}$, and $C_{18:1}$. The content of $C_{18:1}$ and $C_{18:2}$ from the brisket meat increased until 4hr's cooking, especially $C_{18:2}$ increased significantly until 6 hr cooking. The highest ratios of unsaturated to saturated fatty acid (UNS/S) in the meat of brisket and ox-tail were found in the 2hr and 4hr cooking, respectively. The ratios of UNS/S in the broths of both of brisket and small-intestine, and ok-tail were highest in the 4 hr and 2 hr cooking, respectively. The content of total cholesterol (TC) was the highest in the small-intestine and the highest percentage of ester cholesterol was 5.4 in the brisket. The content of TC in small-intestine, brisket and ox-tail was decreased significantly after 2 hr cooking. Precentage of the ester in the brisket was the highest when the cooking time was 8 hr. Only trace amount of total cholesterol was found in the broth.

양식 생물에게 있어 용존산소는 호흡에 필수적이며, 양식 시설 내에서 적절한 용존 산소량을 유지하는 것은 생산량을 좌우하는 가장 중요한 요인이며, 어종, 수온, 광주기, 나이와 크기, 어류의 행동과 먹이 공급 및 환경 조건에 따라 달라진다. 이 중 같은 종 내에서 선발육종된 개체와 일반 양식 종 그리고 이들 계통간 잡종에 대한 대사 효율 즉, 용존산소 소비율의 차이에 관한 연구는 거의 없다. 따라서 본 실험에서는 한국해양연구원에서 선발육종 해 온 참돔과 일본 양식산 참돔 및 이들의 교배 자손들을 대상으로 수온과 광주기 변화에 따른 용존산소 소비율을 조사하였다. 실험어는 일본 양식산인 TPN 교배구 자손과 한국해양연구원 선발육종산인 KORDI F4 교배구 자손, JPN♀×KORDI F4♂ 그리고 KORDI F4♀×JPN♂ 교배구 자손을 대상으로 실시하였다. 체중이 각각 52.0±0.6 g(JPN 교배구; 그룹 1), 52.3±0.7 g(JPN♀×KORDI F4♂; 그룹 2), 51.7±0.4 g(KORDI F4♀ × KORDI F4♂; 그룹 3) 그리고 52.1±0.7 g(KORDI F4♀ × JPN♂; 그룹 4)인 참돔 치어를 각각 5마리씩 3반복 수용하여 실험에 이용하였다. 실험기간 동안 사육수의 pH는 8.1±0.1, 염분도는 34.0±0.5‰로 유지하였으며, 실험 장치는 김(1999)이 고안한 순환 시스템을 이용하였다. 수온은 각각 15℃, 20℃ 및 25℃로 변화시켰으며 각 수온 조건에서 광주기를 24L:0D, 12L:12D 그리고 0L:24D로 변화시켜 매 조건마다 용존 산소 소비량을 측정하였다. JPN 교배구인 그룹 1의 경우, 수온 15℃일 때 산소 소비량은 170.35∼266.29 mg O₂/kg fish/hr의 범위를 보였으며 수온 20℃와 25℃일 때 각각 236.76∼307.37 mg O₂/kg fish/hr와 346.96∼459.30 mg O₂/kg fish/hr 범위를 보여 수온 상승에 따라 산소 소비량 역시 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 그룹 2의 경우, 수온 15℃일 때 산소 소비량은 162.01∼279.51 mg O₂/kg fish/hr의 범위를 보였으며 수온 20℃와 25℃일 때 각각 303.48∼342.72 mg O₂/kg fish/hr와 447.18∼528.45 mg O₂/kg fish/hr 범위를 보여 그룹 1과 마찬가지로 수온 상승에 따라 산소 소비량 역시 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 그룹 3의 경우, 수온 15℃일 때 산소 소비량은 170.11∼220.98 mg O₂/kg fish/hr의 범위를 보였으며 수온 20℃와 25℃일 때 각각 262.62∼282.27 mg O₂/kg fish/hr와 302.24∼415.73 mg O₂/kg fish/hr 범위를 보여 그룹 1, 2와 유사한 경향을 보였다. 그룹 4의 경우, 수온 15℃일 때 산소 소비량은 156.03∼214.49 mg O₂/kg fish/hr의 범위를 보였으며 수온 20℃와 25℃일 때 각각 238.40∼274.28 mg O₂/kg fish/hr와 379.93∼430.97 mg O₂/kg fish/hr 범위를 보여 수온 상승에 따라 산소 소비량 역시 증가하는 것으로 나타나, 그룹 1, 2와 유사한 경향을 보였다. 모든 실험구에서 수온 상승과 함께 산소 소비량이 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며 가장 높은 산소 소비량은 그룹 2에서 관찰되었다. 실험 결과 JPN 계통의 암컷을 사용하여 생산된 그룹 1과 2의 산소 소비량이 KORDI F4 계통의 암컷을 사용한 그룹 3, 4보다 대체적으로 높은 것으로 나타났다. 연속적인 명기 조건인 24L:0D에서 수온 15℃의 경우 그룹 1, 2, 3 그리고 4의 시간당 산소 소비량은 각각 266.29 mg O₂/kg fish/hr,279.51 mg O₂/kg fish/hr, 220.98 mg O₂/kg fish/hr 그리고 214.49 mg O₂/kg fish/hr으로 나타났고, 명기와 암기가 동일한 조건인 12L:12D에서는 각각 192.20 mg O₂/kg fish/hr, 258.03 mg O₂/kg fish/hr, 192.76 mg O₂/kg fish/hr 그리고 170.40 mg O₂/kg fish/hr로 나타났다. 또한 연속적인 암기 조건인 OL:24D 조건에서는 각각 170.35 mg O₂/kg fish/hr, 162.01 mg O₂/kg fish/hr, 170.11 mg O₂/kg fish/hr 그리고 156.03 mg O₂,/kg fish/hr로 나타났다. 그리고 수온 20℃와 25℃에서도 그룹간의 변화는 이와 비슷한 경향을 보였다. 연속 명기 조건인 24L:0D에서의 산소 소비량이 명기와 암기가 동일한 조건인 12L:12D와 연속 암기 조건인 0L:24D에서의 산소 소비량 보다 대체적으로 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 그룹 2의 연속 명기 조건에서 528.45 mg O₂/kg fish/hr으로 가장 높게 나타났다. 그룹 4에서는 대사량이 점점 더 높아지는 수온 상승과 함께 연속 명기 조건과 더불어 12L:12D 조건에서의 산소 소비량이 크게 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

The fowls manure is using as fertilizers for farmland because of enough nutrients. However, excess nutrients can be washed off during a storm and affected on nearby waterbodies. In this paper, the runoff characteristics from farmland were studied to determine the washoff mass. A lab-scale reactor was designed to estimate the surface runoff and infiltration rates according to the rainfall intensity. Surface runoff water did not occur at 10mm/hr rainfall intensity, but some runoff occurred at 20mm/hr rainfall intensity. At 32.4mm/hr rainfall intensity, it shows the highest pollutant concentrations such as 686mg/L for $BOD_5$ and at 630mg/L $COD_{Mn}$. The pollutant as based on fowls manure compost was highly washed-off by subsurface water at 32.4mm/hr rainfall intensity, however the concentration was largely decreased at 43.2mm/hr rainfall intensity. The summary of the results is that the highest wash-off concentrations value shows at 32.4mm/hr rainfall intensity for $BOD_5$ and at 67.1mm/hr for T-N and T-P.

The antimutagenic effects of persimmon leaf tea extract (PLTE) at concentration levels consumed by human were examined in mice using micronuleus induction with MMC(mitomycin C) or 4-NQO (4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide). When mice received oral gavage of 10 equivalent to PLTE 24 hr and 6 hr before, and 5 equivalent to PLTE 6 hr before and 3 hr after intraperitoneal injection of MMC, a significant decrease in the frequency of micronuclei were observed. The induction of micronuclei by 4-NQO was suppressed by oral dosage of PLTE at 5 equivalent to PLTE 6 hr before and 3 hr after, 10 equivalent to PLTE 3 hr before and 3 hr after intraperitoneal injection of MMC. Though the components of PLTE have not been analyzed so far, our present results suggest the existence of several bio-antimutagens and/or desmutagens in PLTE, beside catechin, well-known antimutagen.

This study evaluated the acoustic performance of two configurations of serial HR arrays and lined HR arrays in the presence of grazing flow using a 3D numerical simulation. The dual, triple, and quad HR arrays were compared to the conventional HR array. The simulation results showed that the number of resonant frequencies increased with the number of serial HR arrays. The C_TL did not significantly change with the number of serial HR arrays. The acoustic performance of the two, three, and four-lined HR arrays was compared to the conventional HR array. The results showed that the resonant frequency and TLmax increased with the number of lined HR arrays. The C_TL also increased with the number of lined HR arrays. The effect of the grazing flow Mach number (M_a) was investigated on the four-lined HR array configuration and compared to the conventional HR configuration. TLmax and C_TL decreased for both configurations with increasing M_a. The four-lined HR array configuration had significantly better acoustic performance than the conventional HR configuration. The TLmax and C_TL increased by more than 300% when the configuration was changed from the conventional HR to the four-lined HR array at M_a = 0.The increment percentage decreased with increasing M_a.

This experiment was performed to develop simple practical methods for short term preservation of rabbit embryos. A total of 55 cross bred does were superovulated by intramuscular injection of PMSG and HCG. Embryos were recovered at 25~30 hrs, 60~65 hrs and 80~85 hrs after mating and selected by morphological examination. Four cell stage, morulae and blastocyst embryos were stored in PBS enrich with 1, 10, 20 and 40% heat-treated FCS at 4, 20, 30 and 37$^{\circ}C$, respectively. Embryos were examined morphologically at 24, 48 and 72 hrs following storage. The result obtained in this experiment were summarized as follows: The superovulation was induced by PMSG 200 IU and HCG 100 IU. The average number of ovulation points and embryos recovered by collection time were 19.0, 15.6(25~30 hr), 17.3, 13.5(60~65 hr) and 19.2, 14.4(80~85 hr), respectively. And recovery rates of embryos recovered at 25~30 hr, 60~65 hr and 80~85 hr after mating were 62.8%(4 cell), 84.7%(morulae) and 79.6%(blastocyst), respectively. On the other hand, the average number of ovulation points collected by the no, of operations for the repeated collection was 17.3(60~65 hr), 19.2(80~85 hr) in 1st and 9.4(60~65 hr), 10.6(80~85 hr) in 2nd surgery, respectively. There was a significant decrease(P<0.05) in the number of ovulation points the 2nd surgery as compared to the 1st surgery. All of the 4-cell stage embryos stored at 4$^{\circ}C$ for 48 hrs showed the same morphology throught the storage period, on the contrary, 4-cell stage embryos stored at 2$0^{\circ}C$ and 3$0^{\circ}C$ for 48 hrs showed degeneration embryos and stored at 37$^{\circ}C$ for 24 hrs showed degeneration embryos. Morulae and blastodcyst stored at 4, 20, 30 and 37$^{\circ}C$ for 24 hrs showed degeneration embryos. All of the blastocyst stored at 37$^{\circ}C$ for 72 hrs showed degeneration embryos.

1. In vitro system, LR and FSR accelerated and facilitated meiotic progression, and LH selectively improved cytoplasmic maturation which is required to promote the formation of a male pronucleus. 2. Caffeine (2mM) in the fetilization medium was required not only for inducing zona penetrating ability of boar also for developing to the male pronucleus of the penetrat- ing spermatozoa in vitro. 3. The germinal vesicle (GV)stage was observed for the first 17.6 hr;germinal vesicle break-down (GVBD)stage between 17.6~26.4 hr ;metaphase I (M-I)from 26.4 - 30. 9hr;anaphase I(A-I)ranged from 30. 9~33.4hr;telophase I(T-I) at 33.4~34.4hr; and metaphase II(M-II) at 34.4-48hr. 4. The addition of 10%(v /v) pig follicular fluid (pFF) to maturation media significantly increased the rate of nuclear maturation of pig oocytes (p<0.01), whereas the rate of nuclear maturation of pig oocytes among three different media did not differ. 5. The presence of a primary culture of POEC promotes in vitro development of early cleavage stage pig embryos.
