Purpose: Adenovirus infection with swollen Peyer patches in the ileum, known as one of the causes of intussusception, may cause vitamin C depletion in human body because vitamin C is a first line antioxidant. Or low vitamin C status in human body makes the man more susceptible to infection of adenovirus in the ileum with a markedly swollen lymph node. In this study, we tried to find out the relationship between pediatric intussusceptions and vitamin C concentrations of whole blood and plasma. Methods: Whole blood and plasma vitamin C concentrations of fifty-seven patients with intussusceptions from May 1995 to December 1998 at the Gyeongsang National University Hospital were compared with those of 256 normal healthy children. Vitamin C was measured by the 2, 4-dinitrophenylhydrazine methods. Results: The average age of patients (male=39, female=18) with intussusceptions was fifteen months of age. Whole blood vitamin C concentrations of patients and healthy children were $1.49{\pm}0.64$ mg/dL, and $2.18{\pm}0.49$ mg/dL, respectively. Plasma vitamin C concentrations of patients and healthy children were $0.59{\pm}0.36$ mg/dL, $1.47{\pm}0.56$ mg/dL, respectively. But no differences in the vitamin C concentrations of whole blood and plasma according to age, degree of leukocytosis, fever, interval from onset, hematochezia, and need for operation were found. Conclusion: Whole blood and plasma vitamin C concentrations of patients with intussusceptions were lower than those of healthy children (P=0.0001). Prospective studies are needed to elucidate whether these results were consequences or causes of intussusceptions.

The objective was to determine the effects of supplementation of protected conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), CLA-20 comprising 10% each of cis-9, trans-11 and trans-10, cis-12, on milk production and fatty acid profiles in plasma and milk in lactating dairy cows. Five mid-lactation, multiparous crossbred Holstein Friesian cows with average 402${\pm}$20 kg BW were used in a 5${\times}$5 Latin square design for 21-d periods. Cows were given a total mixed ration (TMR) and supplemented with CLA-20 at 0, 20, 40, 80 and 160 g/d. The results showed that dry matter intake depression occurred in cows supplemented with CLA-20 at 160 g/d. Milk production slightly increased when CLA-20 supplementation was at 20, 40 and 80 g/d. However, 3.5% fat-corrected milk (FCM) was not affected by CLA-20 supplementation. Increased levels of CLA-20 supplementation resulted in a significantly decreased percentage of milk fat. Plasma concentrations of fatty acid were not altered by the amounts of CLA-20 supplementation except for the concentration of trans-10, cis-12 CLA. For all dietary treatments, percentages of fatty acids (C4:0, C6:0, C8:0, C13:0, C14:0 C14:1 C15:0 C15:1 C16:0, C16:1, C18:1n9t, C18:2n6t, C18:2n6c, C20:0, C18:3n6, C18:3n3, C20:1 and C20:3n6) in milk fat were similar. Concentrations of C10:0, C11:0, C12:0 and C18:1n9c were decreased cubically and C18:0 was elevated linearly (p<0.01) according to the increased amounts of CLA-20 supplemented. The linear increase was observed for cis-9, trans-11 CLA (0.62, 1.17, 1.94, 1.87 and 1.82% of total fatty acid), trans-10, cis-12 CLA (0.01, 0.63, 0.67, 0.93 and 0.95% of total fatty acid) and total CLA (0.80, 2.25, 3.16, 3.97 and 3.94% of total fatty acid) in milk fat from 0 to 160 g/d of CLA-20 supplement. In conclusion, concentration of cis-9, trans-11 CLA in milk fat was concomitantly elevated at an increasing rate with the increased amounts of CLA-20. Based on the results in this study, supplementation of CLA-20 at 80 g/d optimally enhanced total CLA in milk fat.

The cyclic group $Cn={\langle}(12{\cdots}n){\rangle}$ acts on the set ($^{[n]}_k$) of all $k$-subsets of [$n$]. In this action of $C_n$ the number of orbits of size $d$, for $d|n$, is $$O^{n,k}_d=\frac{1}{d}\sum_{\frac{n}{d}|s|n}{\mu}(\frac{ds}{n})(^{n/s}_{k/s})$$. Stanton and White[7] generalized the above identity to construct the orbit polynomials $$O^{n,k}_d(q)=\frac{1}{[d]_{q^{n/d}}}\sum_{\frac{n}{d}|s|n}{\mu}(\frac{ds}{n})[^{n/s}_{k/s}]{_q}^s$$ and conjectured that $O^{n,k}_d(q)$ have non-negative coefficients. In this paper we give a combinatorial proof for the positivity of coefficients of the orbit polynomial $O^{n,3}_d(q)$.

Let D be an integral domain, $D^w$ be the $w$-integral closure of D, X be an indeterminate over D, and $N_v=\{f{\in}D[X]{\mid}c(f)_v=D\}$. In this paper, we introduce the concept of $t$-locally APVD. We show that D is a $t$-locally APVD and a UMT-domain if and only if D is a $t$-locally APVD and $D^w$ is a $PvMD$, if and only if D[X] is a $t$-locally APVD, if and only if $D[X]_{N_v}$ is a locally APVD.

Effects of Estradiol-$17\beta(E_2)$ and 2, 4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2, 4-D) on vitellogenin(VTG) production were investigated in primary hepatocyte culture of olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus. Highest survival rate of hepatocyte were observed at $27^{\circ}C$, which markedly declined equal to 50% of those of $15^{\circ}C$. Vitellogenin production peaked at the concentration of $10^{-6}M\;E_2$. No effect was observed on VTG production at various concentrations of 2, 4-D. However, a low concentration of 2, 4-D (ie, $10^{-8}M$) only appeared increased VTG production. $E_2$ or $10^{-8}M$ 2, 4-D-primed VTG production was markedly inhibited by the addition of $10^{-6}M$ tamoxifen to the culture medium(P<0.01). Inhibition was not affected by combinational treatment with $10^{-6}M$ $E_2$ and $10^{-6}M$ 2, 4-D. These results from the current investigation suggest that 2, 4-D mimics $E_2$, but the mechanism of reaction in inducing the $E_2$ receptor are different in VTG production in oliver flounder hepatocytes.

Dental cast and die materials are essential material using in almost dental prsthodontic procedure and it's most important requirement is accuracy for reqorducing the oral anatomical structures. In this study, 5 abutments A, B, C, D, E were fabricated on the metal master model to simulate the arch form and specimens were poured with 4 cast materials. Inter-abutment distances, A-B, A-C, A-D, A-E, B-C, B-D were calculated using the photo-scanning and the deviations from the metal master model were also evaluated. The results were as follows; 1. The distance between A-B, A-C, A-D, A-E, B-C, B-D of the abutments A, B, C, D, E of each cast material was calculated. And after comparing the deviations between the metal master model. $Fujirock^{(R)}$ showed the lowest value with $0.20{\pm}0.22mm$, and the deviation increased in the order of $Suprastone^{(R)}$, Epoxy $Die^{(R)}$, Die $Keen^{(R)}$. There was significant difference between $Fujirock^{(R)}$ and Epoxy $Die^{(R)}$, Die $Keen^{(R)}$. 2. In each calculation area, the difference in measurements between cast material and metal master model showed singificant difference between A-B and Cross arch measure-ments of A-D, B-D, A-E(p<0.05). 3. The difference in measurements between cast material and metal master model in the A-B area showed $Fujirock^{(R)}$ to be the lowest with $0.05{\pm}0.04$mm and increased in the order of Die $Keen^{(R)}$, $Suprastone^{(R)}$, Epoxy $Dies^{(R)}$. There was significant difference between $Fujirock^{(R)}$ and $Suprastone^{(R)}$, Epoxy $Die^{(R)}$ (p<0.05). 4. The difference in measurements between cast material and metal master model in the B-C area showed $Fujirock^{(R)}$ to bo the lowest with $0.17{\pm}0.11$mm and increased in the order of $Suprastone^{(R)}$, Die $Keen^{(R)}$, Epoxy $Dies^{(R)}$. There was significant difference between $Fujirock^{(R)}$ and Die $Keen^{(R)}$, Epoxy $Die^{(R)}$(p<0.05). 5. The difference in measurements between cast material and metal master model in the B-D area showed $Fujirock^{(R)}$ to bo the lowest with $0.13{\pm}0.07$mm, Epoxy $Dies^{(R)}$and increased in the order of $Suprastone^{(R)}$, Die $Keen^{(R)}$. There was significant difference between $Fuji-rock^{(R)}$ and Die Keen(p<0.05). 6. In this experiment, Epoxy $Dies^{(R)}$ showed mean contraction in every calculation area. And when reconstruction cross arch restorations it is thought that distortion should be considered in every cast material.

The experiment was conducted to evaluate a ventilation system, which was devised to encourage farmers to use the enclosed poultry housing system. The study was observed in the National Livestock Research Institute from May 9 to May 30 in 2002. The main results of the experiment are as follows: 1. Although the outside temperature of the enclosed poultry house was 9.6 ${\sim}$ 21.2$^{\circ}C$ with 11.6$^{\circ}C$ variation, the house with an excellent heat insulation was maintained at 32${\sim}$33$^{\circ}C$ in a variation of 2$^{\circ}C$ which is within the range of the optimal temperature for broiler, being aided with two small electric heaters. 2. The average of air flow rates of the upper, middle and low parts of the room in the broiler house were detected at 0.57, 0.22 and 0.04 m/sec, respectively. The air flow in the whole room was distibuted uniformly by a perforated duct. In conclusion, heat and humidity could be controlled without any problem in this enclosed housing system. Especially, air flow in all parts of the room was detected in uniform rates, resulting in the better ventilation performance with air inhalation through the duct and air exhaust through the side walls of the house.
