The aim of this study was to estimate the ingestion effect of fermented soybean paste on the growth inhibition of Helicobacter pylori. Anti-H. pylori effect of the aqueous extract of soybean paste and cell-free supernatant of the isolates from soybean paste were determined using agar diffusion method. Soybean paste and the isolates inhibited the growth of H. pylori. Effect of soybean paste ingestion was estimated using urea breath test against infected volunteers showing no symptom of gastric disease. When 10 g of soybean paste was ingested 3 times a day for 6 weeks, average value of $P={\Delta}^{13}C(T_1-T_0)$ decreased from P=58 to P=28. This result indicated that fermented soybean paste was effective to inhibit the growth of H. pylori in gastric tissue.

Background: Canine malignant lymphoma is classified into B- or T-cell origin, as in the human case. Due to differences in prognosis, a suitable method needs to be developed for lineage identification. Aims: To determine the accuracy of immunophenotypic and molecular information between three methods: immunocytochemistry (ICC), immunohistochemistry (IHC) and heteroduplex polymerase chain reaction for antigen receptor rearrangements (hPARR) in spontaneous canine lymphomas. Materials and Methods: Peripheral blood, fine needle aspiration and tissue biopsies from enlarged peripheral lymph nodes prior to treatment of 28 multicentric lymphoma patients were collected. Cytopathology and histopathology were examined and classified using the updated Kiel and WHO classifications, respectively. Anti-Pax5 and anti-CD3 antibodies as B- and T-cell markers were applied for immunophenotyping by ICC and IHC. Neoplastic lymphocytes from lymph node and white blood cell pellets from peripheral blood were evaluated by hPARR. Results: In this study, low grade B-cell lymphoma accounted for 25% (7/28), high grade B-cell lymphoma for 64.3% (18/28) and high grade T-cell lymphoma for 10.7% (3/28). According to the WHO classification, 50% of all cases were classified as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. In addition, ICC showed concordant results with IHC; all B-cell lymphomas showed Pax5+/CD3, and all T-cell lymphomas exhibited Pax5-/CD3+. In contrast to hPARR, 12 B-cell lymphomas featured the IgH gene; seven presented the $TCR{\gamma}$ gene; five cases showed both IgH and $TCR{\gamma}$ genes, and one case were indeterminate. Three T-cell lymphomas showed the $TCR{\gamma}$ gene. The percentage agreement between hPARR and ICC/IHC was 60%. Conclusions: Immunophenotyping should not rely on a single method. ICC or IHC with hPARR should be used concurrently for immunophenotypic diagnosis in canine lymphomas.

As an elementary investigation to develop vegetation concrete with a relatively low pH value, magnesia-phosphate composites (MPC) were examined according to the phosphate types including Monoammonium, Monosodium, Monopotassium, Monocalcium, Diammonium, Disodium, Dipotassium, and Diacalcium phosphates. All of the MPC binders, the ratio of magnesia to phosphate was fixed to be 7:3. MPC mortars activated with Disodium, Dipotassium, and Diacalcium phosphates showed no compressive strength gain, even at age of 28 days. Meanwhile, MPC mortars with Monoammonium and Monosodium phosphates developed 28-day compressive strength of more than 34MPa, and showed a relatively low pH value below 9.8. Hence, Monoammonium and Monosodium phosphates have potentials as an activator for producing MPC-based vegetation concrete.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the optimal activation condition for parthenogenetic development. In order to activate oocytes at 22 h post onset of maturation, the oocytes were subjected to 5 $\mu$M ionomycin(I) for 5 min ,10 $\mu$M calcium ionophore(Ca) for 5 min, 2 mM 6-dimethylamino-purine(DMAP) for 3 h and 10 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ cycloheximide(CH) for 6 h alone or in combination. The activated oocytes were cultured in modified CR$_1$aa at 5% $CO_2$, 5% $O_2$, 90% $N_2$. l. The cleavage rates after 48 h culture of oocytes treated with I, Ca, DMAP and CH were 12.7%, 14.1%, 28.9% and 22.9%, respectively. There was no blastocyst formation. 2. The cleavage rates after 48 h culture of oocytes treated with I ＋ DMAP, I ＋ CH, Ca ＋ DMAP and Ca ＋ CH were 96.9%, 82.1%, 93.1% and 34.7%, respectively. Developmental rates to blastocysts were 10.4%, 5.3%, 17.6% and 7.1 %, respectively. When oocytes were treated with Ior Ca followed by DMAP, the blastocyst formation rate was significantly higher than other groups(P <0.05). 3. According to single activation treatment, pronucleus formation rates were 5.4%, 3.6%, 28.3% and 28.8%, respectively, Whereas, all oocytes treated with the combined activation agents formed 100% pronucleus.

The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between various estrous behavior and ovulation time, and to determine which estrous behavior could predict ovulation time more accurately. In total, 37 ovulations and 28 estrous detection were observed in 51 Holstein-Friesian dairy cows. Various estrous behavior were observed during 72 h from two days after $PGF_2{\alpha}$ injection and their relation with the time of ovulation (ultrasound examinations at 4-h intervals) was investigated. In estrous periods, the rate of sniffing, chin resting, mounting, standing heat was 81%, 78%, 78% and 56%, respectively. Ovulation occurred $25.6{\pm}7.9h$ after onset of estrus (ranging between 7 and 37h) and $13.4{\pm}7.1h$ after end of estrus (ranging between 1 and 28h). Interval between onset of estrus and ovulation time was significantly (p<0.05) shorter for standing heat $(17.33{\pm}5.83h)$ than for mounting, sniffing and chin resting $(23.58{\pm}5.12h,\;24.25{\pm}6.09h,\;23.42{\pm}6.04h)$. In 88% of the animals that displayed mounting, ovulation occurred between $16{\sim}28h$ after onset of mounting. Onset of standing heat, sniffing and chin resting occurred between $10{\sim}22(81%)h,\;16{\sim}28(79%)h\;and\; 19{\sim}31(79%)h$ before ovulation respectively. Sniffing and chin resting were displayed during the non-estrous period and are therefore, not useful predictors of ovulation time. The standing heat and mounting can be a good predictor for time of ovulation but the disadvantage of using standing heat is that only a limited number of cows display standing heat. Thus, it is concluded that mounting behavior could be the best predictor for time of ovulation.

In this study, we fabricated the dual gate (DG) ion-sensitive field-effect-transistor (ISFET) with flexible polyimide (PI) extended gate (EG). The DG ISFETs significantly enhanced the sensitivity of pH in electrolytes from 60 mV/pH to 1152.17 mV/pH and effectively improved the drift and hysteresis phenomenon. This is attributed to the capacitive coupling effect between top gate and bottom gate insulators of the channel in silicon-on-transistor (SOI) metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) FETs. Accordingly, it is expected that the PI-EG based DG-ISFETs is promising technology for high-performance flexible biosensor applications.

Alkyl halides were reduced to the corresponding alkanes by the homonuclear bridging hydride, (μ-H)[(η5-MeCp)Mn(CO)2]2-PPN+ in THF at the elevated temperatures (40-60 ℃) under the pseudo first order reaction conditions where excess of alkyl halide was employed under nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction is of overall second order; first order with respect to [bridging hydride] and first order with respect to [alkyl halide] with the activation parameters, ΔH≠=28.93 kcal/mol and ΔS≠=17.95 e.u. The kinetic data, the ESR evidence and the reaction with cyclopropyl canbinyl bromide ensure that two possible reaction pathways are operable in this reaction: (1) concerted mechanism, and (2) single electron transfer pathway are in competition leading to the same product, the corresponding alkane.
