Hen egg-white lysozyme, ovalbumin, egg-yolk phosvitin, acid-precipitated soy protein and $\alpha$$_{sl}$ milk casein were covalently linked with galactomannan through a controlled dry-heating at 6$0^{\circ}C$ under 79% relative humidity without any chemical reagent. Neoglycosylation by the covalent binding of polysaccharide chains brought a significant improvement into the surface functionalities of food proteins. Excellent emulsifying properties and foaming properties were observed in all protein-galactomannan conjugates. Bacterial mutagenesis tests and animal dose test were done to evaluate the food safety of the protein-galactomannan conjugates. The neo-glycoproteins were negative for Ames test using Salmonella typhimurium TA100 (hisG46) and TA98 (hisD3052) strains, and rec-assay using Bacillus subtilis Hl7 (rec) and M45 (re $c^{+}$) strains. All substances were also nontoxic for oral administration to rats. L $D_{50}$ 's of these substances were all more than 7.5 g/kg body-weight of rat. No effect was also observed in the weight increases and the concentrations of total cholesterol, triglyceride and phospholipids in blood serum of the administrated rats with 7.5 g/kg conjugates. Thus, Maillard-type protein-polysaccharide conjugates prepared by covalent attachment of galactomannan to food proteins were proposed to be useful as a safe functional biopolymer in this study.y.

Background: The association of invasive tracheobronchial aspergillosis (ITBA) with invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) is not well established. We aimed to compare clinical characteristics between patients who exhibited ITBA with IPA and those who exhibited isolated ITBA (iITBA). Additionally, the usefulness of serum or bronchial galactomannan (GM) tests in diagnosing ITBA was evaluated. Methods: This retrospective single-center case-control study was conducted over a period of 4 years. Fifteen patients were enrolled after confirming the presence of ITBA using bronchoscopy-guided biopsy (iITBA, 7 vs. ITBA+IPA, 8). Clinical characteristics of patients and results obtained from serum or bronchial GM tests were compared between the two groups. Mortality was assessed using data collected from a 6-month follow-up period. Results: The ITBA+IPA group showed a higher prevalence of hematologic malignancy (75% vs. 14%, p=0.029), a greater number of patients with multiple bronchial ulcers (75% vs. 14%, p=0.029), lower platelet counts (63,000/μL vs. 229,000/μL, p<0.001), and a mortality rate which was significantly higher (63% vs. 0%, p=0.026) than the iITBA group. In the ITBA+IPA group, 57% of patients tested positive according to the serum GM assay, whereas in the iITBA group, all patients tested negative (p=0.070). The bronchial GM level was high in both groups, but there was no significant difference between them. Conclusion: Patients with ITBA+IPA had a greater number of hematologic malignancies with lower platelet counts and a poorer prognosis than patients diagnosed with iITBA. Findings obtained from bronchoscopy and bronchial GM tests were more useful in diagnosing ITBA than the serum GM test results.

Guar gum, a storage polysaccharide galactomannan was administered to 11 patients with type-II diabetes mellitus for 7 days and 3 weeks. They took 5 grams of guar gum 30 mins before each of three meals daily. The dinner 2-h postprandial values of their blood glucose were significantly lowered (P<0.05) after their guar treatment for 7 days compared with before taking guar gum. The 2-h postprandial values of blood glucose were significantly lowered(P<0.05) after 3 weeks of gual treatment compared with before taking guar gum. In an oral glucose tolerance test, their blood glucose values were significantly lowered at 120 mins(P<0.02) and 180 mins(P<0.05) after guar treatment. Total-lipid(P<0.01) and triglycerides(P<0.02) of their blood were significantly decreased and HDL-cholesterol(P<0.02) was significantly increased after guar treatment. HbA1C was significantly reduced (P<0.05) from 11.3% to 10.1% The body weight, total-cholesterol and insulin activity of the patients after guar treatment were not significantly changed and the satiety ratings of the patients with guar treatment was not significantly changed and the satiety ratings of the patients with guar treatment was not significantly changed, however, the subjects that answered from 'Want to eat but can wait' to 'No desire to eat' were 81.1%. It is concluded that guar gum improves their carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in Korean type-II diabetic subjects with high fiber diets.

Lung granulomas are uncommon in Thailand. The disease typically develops from an occupational environment and is mostly caused by infection. Herein is a case report of a female patient, aged 48, working as a nurse in an Accident and Emergency Department at a hospital. Eighteen years prior to admission the patient was diagnosed with myasthenia gravis and pulmonary tuberculosis. The chest X-ray and CT scans showed a solitary pulmonary nodule in the lower left lung. The patient received an open thoracotomy with a left lobectomy. Granulomatous and nonseptate hyphae were found in the pathology diagnosis. The patient was thus diagnosed as having a lung granuloma. The galactomannan antigen test was positive. The solitary pulmonary nodule-found from the use of a Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test-was an Aspergillus spp. The fungus culture was collected from air samples. The air samples were collected by the impaction technique using a microbial air sampler. Three types of Aspergillus spp. were found as well as Penicillium spp. and Monilia sitophila. The Aspergillus spp. was a match for the patient's disease. The patient was diagnosed as having a lung granuloma possibly Aspergillus nodule which was caused by airborne Aspergillus spp. from the occupational environment.

총 글루텐 함량을 일정하게 조절하고 amylopectin의 함량을 증가시키며 galactomannan인 LBG와 Guar의 첨가에 따른 반죽 및 제면 특성 변화를 보고자 RVA에 의한 호화특성, farinograph에 의한 반죽형성능, 냉 ${\cdot}$ 해동 안정성, 조리면의 중량, 부피, 탁도, 색도, 조직감, 신장도, 신장력 및 조리면의 관능검사를 측정하였다. Amylopectin 함량이 증가할수록 LBG와 Guar 첨가유무에 관계없이 호화개시온도는 다소 감소하였으며 최종점도와 setback 점도는 감소하는 경향을 보였으나 breakdown 점도는 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 반죽형성능 측정에서 모든 실험군에서 amylopectin의 함량이 증가함에 따라 수분흡수율은 증가하고 연화도는 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 또한 LBG와 Guar를 첨가하였을 때 수분흡수율과 안정도는 다소 증가하였으나 연화도는 다소 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 냉 ${\cdot}$ 해동 안정성은 amylopectin 함량이 증가할수록 모든 군에서 개선되었고 LBG와 Guar의 첨가는 냉 ${\cdot}$ 해동 안정성을 개선시키는 효과를 가져왔다. 조리면의 조직감은 견고성의 감소와 탄성과 응집성의 증가를 보여 amylopectin 함량이 증가할수록 제면 특성이 좋아지는 것으로 나타났고, 신장도는 amylopectin 함량이 증가할수록 증가하였다. 또한 LBG와 Guar의 첨가는 amylopectin의 함량이 적은 시료에서 기호도의 증가를 보였으나 전반적으로는 크게 영향을 미치지 않았다. 위의 결과를 종합하여 볼 때 밀가루에 amylopectin 함량을 증가시키거나 LBG와 Guar를 첨가함으로서 냉 ${\cdot}$ 해동 안정성과 기호도를 향상시키므로 냉동식품 혹은 냉동저장이 필요한 밀가루 식품 제조에 기초 자료로서 활용할 수 있을 것이다.외한 모든 버섯 균사체에서 착즙박보다 감소하는 경향을 보였다.$ 마우스를 이용한 동물실험에서도 뚜렷한 혈당강하효과를 나타내어 인슐린 민감성 제재로 개발 할 수 있는 가능성을 보여 주었다.균은 $0.9{\sim}2.6%$이었으며, 8종류 약제에 저항성인 균도 1.7%있었다. 이상의 결과로 국내에서 분리된 M. pneumoniae 균주는 적게는 1-4 종류의 항생제에, 많게는 5-8 종류의 항생제에 저항성인 균주가 있으므로 마이코플라스마폐렴 환자를 치료할때는 macrolide계나 quinolone계의 항생제 선택에 신중을 기하여야 하며, 가급적이면 항생제 감수성 검사를 실시하여 적절한 항생제를 선택함으로써 저항성균의 출현율을 줄일 수 있고 효율적인 치료도 할 수 있도록 하여야 할 것으로 생각된다.이어트에도 도움이 되리라 생각한다. 56.3%, 엽산 81.3% 등으로 높게 나타나 근로자들의 영양 문제가 심각함을 알 수 있다.혁신지방분권위원회에서 제시한 자치경찰제도(안)을 중심으로 자치경찰제도 운용의 목적 충족과 실질적인 효과의 측면에서 분석하고 바람직한 자치경찰제도의 운용에 대해 살펴본다.rc}C$ 이내에서 높을수록, 염분은 20-35 psu 이내에서 높을수록 잠입률이 높은 경향을 나타내었다. 교수학습모형에 관련된 지식을 묻는 내용으로 주로 출제되었다. 이에 구체적인 개선방안으로 특정 교수학습모형의 이론적 토대가 되고 전체적인 교수설계를 하기 위한 기본 바탕이 될 수 있는 교수학습이론에 관한 내용, 또한 현재가정과교육에 있어서 유용한 교수학습법이라고 입증되고 있는 실천적 추론 가정과 수업에 관한 내용으로의 확대를 제안하였다. 가정과교육평가 문항의 출제는 대다수의 문항이 수행평가에 관한 문항내용으로 출제되었다. 이에 구체적인 개선방안으로 문항의 변별도 여부의 판단, 평가문항의 내용 타당도 분석, 평가결과를 해석하는 능력, 평가자의 철학적 관점과 같은 내용으로의 확대를
