  • Objective: Seaweeds could be an alternative and functional feed resource. The purpose of this experiment is to investigate the effect of dietary supplementation of Sargassum meal on laying performance and egg quality of layers. Methods: Two hundred 36-wk-old layers were divided into five treatment groups. Each treatment had four replicates with 10 hens per experimental unit. The corn-soybean meal basal diet was formulated as control group. Sargassum meals were included 0%, 1%, 2%, 3%, or 5% to diets for five treatment groups, respectively. Treatment groups were isocaloric-isonitrogenous diets. Laying performance and egg quality were measured for eight weeks. Results: Sargassum meal supplementation did not affect daily feed intake. Supplementation 1% to 3% of Sargassum meal in diets increased daily laying rate and egg mass compared with those from control group (p<0.05). Egg qualities among five groups were all similar. Supplementation of 3% Sargassum meal increased the lightness of egg yolk (p<0.05). Eggs produced from layers fed 1% and 2% Sargassum meal had a higher consumer's acceptability than the control group (p<0.05). In blood characteristics, contents of glucose, nitrogen, triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) increased as the increase of supplementation ratio of Sargassum meal (p<0.05). In serum antibody titers, supplementation of 2% Sargassum meal stimulated a higher immunoglobulin M (IgM) level than that from control group (p<0.05). However, IgM content of layers fed diets with Sargassum meal ≥3% were decreased (p<0.05). There was no difference in IgA and IgG titers among groups. Conclusion: Supplementation of 1% to 3% Sargassum meal has shown to increase egg laying rate and egg mass of Leghorn layers. However, high supplementation (5%) would negatively affect laying performance. In consideration of laying performance, egg quality, consumer responses, and blood antibody, supplementation of Sargassum meal was suggested 2% in the diet for layers.

  • Objective: Chicken essence and branched chain amino acid (BCAA) supplementation has been recognized to significantly relieve fatigue. To obtain chicken essence with high amounts of BCAA, spent hens herein was used to prepare dripped chicken essence (SCE) and compared with commercial dripped chicken essence (CCE) for in vivo anti-fatigue effect. Methods: To determine the effect on anti-fatigue by dripped chicken essence, the exhaustive swimming was performed. Thirty-two 7-week ICR mice were divided into four groups, which included the control group (CG), CCE, SCE-1X and SCE-2X. The mice were given daily oral administration (0.012 mL/g body weight/d). The fatigue index analysis was conducted weekly. Results: The results showed that SCE had a higher BCAA level as expected, and mice treated with dripped chicken essence (CCE and SCE) could significantly improve exercise performance. The lower blood lactate level, blood urea nitrogen level and creatine phosphokinase activity were found in the supplement of SCE group compared with the CCE group, which suggested that the SCE possessed strong anti-fatigue ability. This could possibly be due to the higher content of BCAA. Conclusion: In this study, SCE promoted recovery from physical fatigue in mice and elevated endurance ability. Among them, the double dose (SCE-2X) showed the strongest anti-fatigue ability. Taken together, spent chickens could be a good source of chicken essence to improve the effect of anti-fatigue.

  • This research explores a new finite element model for the free vibration analysis of bi-directional functionally graded (BDFG) beams. The model is based on an efficient higher-order shear deformation beam theory that incorporates a trigonometric warping function for both transverse shear deformation and stress to guarantee traction-free boundary conditions without the necessity of shear correction factors. The proposed two-node beam element has three degrees of freedom per node, and the inter-element continuity is retained using both C1 and C0 continuities for kinematics variables. In addition, the mechanical properties of the (BDFG) beam vary gradually and smoothly in both the in-plane and out-of-plane beam's directions according to an exponential power-law distribution. The highly elevated performance of the developed model is shown by comparing it to conceptual frameworks and solution procedures. Detailed numerical investigations are also conducted to examine the impact of boundary conditions, the bi-directional gradient indices, and the slenderness ratio on the free vibration response of BDFG beams. The suggested finite element beam model is an excellent potential tool for the design and the mechanical behavior estimation of BDFG structures.

  • Objective: To improve the feeding value of rice straw (RS), this study evaluated the potential of rice straw fermented with Pleurotus sajor-caju (FRS) as dairy goat feed. Methods: Spent Pleurotus sajor-caju mushroom substrate was used as fungi inoculum to break the lignocellulose linkage of rice straw, which was solid-fermented at 25℃ to 30℃ for 8 weeks. The ruminal degradation of pangolagrass hay (PG), FRS, and RS were measured in situ for 96 hours in three dry Holstein cows, respectively. Effect of fungi fermented RS on milking performance was studied in feeding trials. A total of 21 Alpine goats a trial were divided into 3 groups: a control group in which PG accounted for 15% of the diet dry matter, and FRS or RS was used to replace the PG in the control group. Goats were fed twice a day under two 28-day trial in individual pens. Meanwhile, a 3×3 Latin square trial (14 days/period) was conducted to study the rumen digestion of three diets by using three fistulated dry goats. Rumen contents were collected for metabolite analyses every one to three hours on the last two days. Results: In situ study showed that fermentation could elevate the rumen degradable fraction and effective degradability of RS (p<0.05). Effective degradability of FRS dry matter was significantly increased from 29.5% of RS to 41.7%. Lactating trial results showed that dry matter intake and milk yield in the PG group and FRS group were similar and higher than those in RS group (p<0.05). The concentration of propionic acid and total volatile fatty acid in the RS group tended to be lower than those in PG group (p<0.10). There were no differences in rumen pH value and ammonia nitrogen level among the groups tested. Conclusion: Fermentation of rice straw by spent Pleurotus sajor-caju mushroom substrate could substantially enhance its feeding value to be equivalent to PG as an effective fiber source for dairy goat. The fermented rice straw is recommended to account for 15% in diet dry matter.

  • Objective: To quantitatively assess the pulmonary vasculature using non-contrast computed tomography (CT) in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) pre- and post-treatment and correlate CT-based parameters with right heart catheterization (RHC) hemodynamic and clinical parameters. Materials and Methods: A total of 30 patients with CTEPH (mean age, 57.9 years; 53% female) who received multimodal treatment, including riociguat for ≥ 16 weeks with or without balloon pulmonary angioplasty and underwent both non-contrast CT for pulmonary vasculature analysis and RHC pre- and post-treatment were included. The radiographic analysis included subpleural perfusion parameters, including blood volume in small vessels with a cross-sectional area ≤ 5 mm2 (BV5) and total blood vessel volume (TBV) in the lungs. The RHC parameters included mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP), pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), and cardiac index (CI). Clinical parameters included the World Health Organization (WHO) functional class and 6-minute walking distance (6MWD). Results: The number, area, and density of the subpleural small vessels increased after treatment by 35.7% (P < 0.001), 13.3% (P = 0.028), and 39.3% (P < 0.001), respectively. The blood volume shifted from larger to smaller vessels, as indicated by an 11.3% increase in the BV5/TBV ratio (P = 0.042). The BV5/TBV ratio was negatively correlated with PVR (r = -0.26; P = 0.035) and positively correlated with CI (r = 0.33; P = 0.009). The percent change across treatment in the BV5/TBV ratio correlated with the percent change in mPAP (r = -0.56; P = 0.001), PVR (r = -0.64; P < 0.001), and CI (r = 0.28; P = 0.049). Furthermore, the BV5/TBV ratio was inversely associated with the WHO functional classes I-IV (P = 0.004) and positively associated with 6MWD (P = 0.013). Conclusion: Non-contrast CT measures could quantitatively assess changes in the pulmonary vasculature in response to treatment and were correlated with hemodynamic and clinical parameters.

  • COVID-19 팬데믹은 정부의 예방 및 통제 조치, 사람들의 위험 인식의 변화, 그리고 생활 방식의 변화를 통해 상당한 사회적 변화를 가져왔다. 특히, 정부의 방역정책과 도시공간의 잠재적 감염 위험에 대한 우려는 교통수단과 도시공간에 대한 선호를 크게 변화시켰다. 이러한 변화는 COVID-19 팬데믹이후에도 도시 공간에 지속적인 영향을 미치거나 새로운 형태로 변화할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 코로나19 범유행에 따른 도시민의 이동수단 선호와 도시공간 이용 변화를 분석하여 도시공간이 현재와 미래의 감염병에 적응할 수 있는 회복탄력성과 잠재력을 탐색하고자 한다. 본 고는 이동 수단과 도시 공간에 대한 전반적인 선호도가 팬데믹 이전, 팬데믹 중, 팬데믹 종료에 따라 유의미하게 차이가 있다는 것을 확인하였다. 팬데믹 기간 동안 안전하다고 인식되는 개인 소유 차량과 녹지 공간을 제외하고는 전반적인 이동수단과 도시 공간에 대한 선호도가 감소하였다. 특히, 이동수단과 도시 공간에 대한 유행 중 선호도는 팬데믹 전에 비해 5배 가량 낮게 나타났다. 팬데믹 당시 긍정적으로 인식되었던 녹지 공간과 의료시설이 팬데믹 이전 선호도 수준으로 돌아올 것으로 예상되나, 다른 도시 공간 요소들은 뉴노멀을 맞이한 것으로 보인다. 본 결과는 코로나19 팬데믹이 도시민의 이동 수단과 도시 공간 선호에 큰 영향을 미쳤음을 시사한다.

  • 경제적으로 중요한 식용작물인 콩(Glycine max)의 초기형 질전환 효율증대를 위하여 연구를 수행하였다. 높은 초기형 질전환 조건 확립을 위하여 기초실험으로 Agrobacterium 감 염에 순응적인 국내 콩 품종을 스크린 하였으며, 적정한 agar 농도와 선발항생제 hygromycin 농도 규명, 상처방법, explant의 치상방향, 호르몬 전처리, 액체배지 선발 등 형질 전환 초기효율에 미치는 영향을 transient GUS 분석을 통하여 알아보았다. Agrobacterium 감염에 순응적인 품종을 선발하기 위하여 32개의 국내 콩 장려품종을 스크린한 결과, 일품검정콩, 은하콩, 만리콩, 대원콩 등 14개의 순응형 품종을 선발하였으며, 효율적인 제균제로는 cefotaxime이, 효율적인 선발항생제로서는 hygromycin이 선택되었다. Hygromycin 농도는 10-15 ppm이 효율적이었고, agar 농도 0.6-0.8%, explant의 치상방향은 향배축(adaxial side)을 down하여 치상하였을 때가 높은 GUS ($\beta$-glucuronidase)발현빈도를 나타냈고 상처방법은 scalpel보다. 동양침을 사용하였을 때 높게 나타났다. 형질전환 체계확립을 위하여 호르몬 전처리를 한 결과, BA 5 ppm 과 10 ppm을 처리하였을 때 후기 선발에서 높은 생존율을 보였고, 전처리 후에 액체배지에서 선발을 하였을 때 비형질 전환체(escape)의 빈도를 크게 낮출 수 있었다. 또한 여러 조건의 결과를 비교하여 볼 때, 국내 콩 품종 중에서 형질전환을 위한 재료로써는 은하콩이 가장 적합한 것으로 생각된다.
