DNA subfragments, sopA, sopB, and sopC supporting stable maintenance of an oriC plasmid, were derived from mini-F plasmid DNA (EcoRI restriction fragment, f5) after digestion with restriction endonucleases, and cloned in vector plasmid pBR322. The recombinant plasmid obtained were introduced into E. coli KY7231 and E. coli CSR603, and proteins specified by the mini-F fragments were analysed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Two proteins encoded by the F fragments were detected, having molecular weights of 41,000 and 37.000. The sopA protein (41K) encoded by a plasmid pXX288 was observed in the cytoplasm, whereas the sopB protein (37K) encoded by a plasmid pXX157 was in the membrane fraction. There was no novel protein band detected in the cell with a plasmid pXX300, which contained sopC fragment. Gene products of a plasmid pXX167, which is comprised of sopA, sopB, and sopC, were not detectable. Fluorography after one and two dimensional gel electrophoresis of the lysates showed that these two proteins were overproduced in the cells which were allowed to incorporate radioactive amino acid after plasmid amplification by chloramphenicol treatment. The isoelectric points of the sopA and sepB proteins were 6.6 and 7.0, respectively.

The serum total cholesterol levels were measured by Rosenthal modified method for the insured persons who had passed the medical examination in a life insurance company, Seoul. The sera were obtained from 1,878 adults, 626 males and 1,252 fermales, from sep 1980 to Dec. 1981. The results obtained in the measurement were as follows; 1. The mean and standard deviation of serum cholesterol level in the healthy insured persons were $163{\pm}$ in male, and $157{\pm}24mg%$ in female. The difference of the values between male and female showed statistical signifi- (p<0.01). With regard to sex and age differences, female were significantly higher than male in the 10's, and male were higher than female in the 20's and 50's between both sexes. 2. The cholesteol of male was gradully increased about 12mg% according to the increase of every 10-year interval, but no increase was observed from the 40's to the 50's. The cholesterol level of female was higher in the 10's than in the 20's, and was increased gradually from the 20's to the 50's. 3. No significant difference in serum total cholesterol levels between the insured persons and other normal Korean groups was observed; the frequency distribution of the cholestrol level for the population showed normal distribution.

It has been reported that Cyanidin 3-Glu-coside (C3G) of the black pigmented rice was as the high anti-oxidency and analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). However, the analysis of C3G by HPLC is needed long pre-treated steps, so development of methods with simple pre-treated steps is needed in order to breed vices with high C3G contents. The analysis of components using near infrared reflectance (NIR) was well known as non pre-treated and nondestructive. C3G contents of Bengjinjubyeo$\times$Suwon425 $F_{10}$ 385 lines were used in order to develop C3G content prediction model in pigmented rice using FT-NIR. The results of C3G content of FT-NIR compared with HPLC were showed that the equation was f(x)=0.9427x+34.0430, $R^2$, standard error of calibration was 0.943, 0.116 and those of validation was 0.928, 0.122, respectively. This prediction model will be able to be used for analyzing C3G contents in black pigmented rice.

To determine the economic threshold level of Meloidogyne incognita on cucumber in greenhouse conditions, cucumber seedlings(Cucumis sativa L. cv. 'Super Manchon') grafted on 'Jangsushintozoa'(Cucurbita maxima x Cu. moschata) were planted in wooden boxes($30{\times}40{\times}15cm,\;L{\times}W{\times}D$) under a plastic house in August 01 and harvested from Sep. 01-Oct. 30, 2006. The initial nematode population densities(Pi) in the wooden boxes were adjusted to 0, 10, 30, 100, 300, and 600 second-stage juveniles(J2)/100 $cm^3$ soil. The relationship of total fruit yield to Pi level could be adequately described by a linear regression equation, $Y=0.82-0.04{\cdot}Log_{10}$(Pi+1). Initial nematode densities(Pi) before planting in excess of 5 J2/1,000 $cm^3$ soil caused in total yields loss that is equivalent to the costs of granular nematicide application; Pi level in excess of 25 J2/1,000 $cm^3$ soil caused in total yields loss that exceed the costs for application of fumigants at current control costs. We propose two different management strategies depending on nematode densities, (i) application of non-fumigant granular nematicides for M. incognita Pi level of 5 J2/1,000 $cm^3$ soil and (ii) fumigant treatment with Pi level over 25 J2/1,000 $cm^3$ soil. Soil samples to determine population density of Meloidogyne spp. for advisory purposes should be taken several months before planting time, which allows a period of time enough for implementing management procedures.

The study investigated the dietary effects of medicinal herbs extract and multiple probiotics mixture on the growth performance, innate immune response and antibacterial activity of nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus. Tilapia were divided in four groups. The first is a fish group fed a basal diet added with 40% medicinal herbs extract (MHE). The second is a fish group fed a basal diet supplied with $2{\times}10^8CFU/g$ of 2 Bacillus sp, 2 Lactobacillus sp and 2 Yeast sp, respectively (PB). The third group was fed with a mixture of probiotics (2 Bacillus sp, 2 Lactobacillus sp and 2 Yeast sp) with the medicinal herbs extract added in basal diet (MHE+PB). The fourth group was fed only a basal diet (C). In a non-specific immune parameters analysis, respiratory burst activity, lysozyme activity, phagocytic activity (PA), alternative complement pathway activity ($ACH_{50}$) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were significantly (p<0.05) increased in the group MHE+PB compared to other groups. Both PB and MHE groups showed a significant (p<0.05) increase in respiratory burst activity, lysozyme activity compared to the control C group, whereas no significant differences were observed in PA, $ACH_{50}$ and SOD activity compared to the control group. In challenging test, fish were administered with Edwardsiella tarda (E. tarda) on 30 days after feeding with each experimental diet and viable E. tarda cell reduction was checked over 21 days post injection. MHE+PB group showed a significantly (p<0.05) reduced E. tarda cells compared to other groups. No significant antibacterial difference (p>0.05) was observed between PB and MHE only treated group. Compared to the control, a significant antibacterial difference (p<0.05) appeared in PB but not in MHE (p>0.05). The results suggest that the probiotics and MHE mixture could be utilized as an alternative to antibiotics in the control of fish diseases caused by E. tarda.

This study was carried out to establish the analytical method of MCPA residue in brown rice and rice straw by HPLC/UVD. When MCPA was extracted from sample under the pH 3.6 by adding acetone 200 mL and 1N-HCl 100 mL, the extraction efficiency was high by 87%. And purification efficiency was high by 83% when 5 mL of 1% methanol/acetonitrile was eluated by the florisil Sep-pak cartridge column. From spiking of $0.1{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$ and $0.25{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$ of MCPA to control sample, respectively, average recovery rate of MCPA in brown rice was 96.0% and 94.9% and that in rice straw was 92.5% and 88.2%, respectively. Precision of experiment was very high by relative standard deviation of 1.5% to 5.7%. In brown rice and rice straw treated with bentazone+MCPA (11+1.2%) of 30 kg and 60 kg per ha at 30 days after rice transplanting, respectively, maximum residue limit was under $0.05{\mu}g\;mL^{-1}$ of the recommended rate of Korean Food and Drug Administration. From the above results, the analytical procedure of MCPA in plants such as hydrolysis, saponification and derivatization were ommited, and retention time was faster and recovery rate was higher than the existed results of HPLC/UVD. Therefore, these results were greatly improved and seemed to be usefully applied for residue analysis of MCPA in plants.

Even though Korean medical law stipulates that number of patients attended by a nurse is 2.5 for hospitalization and 30 for ambulatory care, the number of patients cared by a nurse per day is much greater than the standard prescribed by the medical law. Current productivity of nurses is not desirable unless the quality of care is considered. And nursing manpower staffing based on neither current nurses' productivity nor standard of medical law cannot respond properly to dynamic situation of the medical services. Under this background, the necessity of more efficient management of nursing manpower occupying 1/3 of total hospital workers has been recognized by many nursing administrators. Many nursing researchers have studied to foretell the nursing manpower objectively on the basis of measured nursing workload according to patient classification as well. Most of These researches, however, have been conducted in the tertiary hospitals, so it is imperative to conduct other researches to predict necessary nursing manpower in the secondary and the primary hospitals. The study was performed to measure nursing workload and predict pertinent nursing manpower to a secondary hospital with 400beds. Nursing workload was surveyed using measuring tool for direct and indirect care hours in a surgical unit and a medical unit. Survey was conducted from Sep.10 to Sep.16 and from Oct.5 to Oct.11, 1994 respectively by two skilled nurses, Subjects were patients, patients' family members and nursing personnels. Results are follows : 1. Patient classification distributed as 22% of class I (mildly ill patient), 57% of class II (moderately ill patient), and 21% of class III (acutely ill patient) in the medical nursing unit, while 23% of class I, 29% of class II, 12% of class III, and 36% of classIV (critically ill patient) in the surgical nursing unit. There was no difference of inpatient number between weekday and weekend. Bed circulation rate was 89% in both units and average patients number per day was 37.4 (total 42beds) in the medical nursing unit, 32.9 (total 37beds) in the medical nursing unit. 2. Direct care hours per day measured as 2.8hrs for class I, 3.3hrs for class II, and 3.5hrs for class III in the medical nursing unit, while 3.1hrs for class I, 3hrs for class II, 2.7hrs for class III, and 2.2hrs for classIV in the surgical nursing unit. Meanwhile, hours for nursing assistant activities per patient by patients' family members were 11mins and 200mins respectively. Direct care hour rate by shift was day 36%, evening 25%, and night 39% in the medical nursing unit, while 40%, 29%, and and 31% respectively in the surgical nursing unit. 3. Measurement and observation activity held 44.2% of direct care activities of nurses and medication 36.7%, communication 11.7%, exercise 1.8%, treatment 1.3%, hygiene 1.3%, elimination and irrigation 1.1%, suction 1%, nutrition 0.5%, thermotherapy 0.3%, oxygen therapy 0.1% in order. 4. Indirect care hours per day were 294.2mins in the medical nursing unit, and 273.9mins in the surgical nursing unit. By shift, evening was the highest in both units. Indirect care hours for each patient were 44.5mins in the medical nursing unit and 46mins in the surgical nursing unit. 5. checking activities including doctor's order, medication, and delivering patients to the next shift occupied 39.7% of indirect care activities, and preparation 26%, recording 23.8%, communication and conference 6.7%, managing equipments 2.1%, messenger activity 1.7% in order. 6. On the ground of these results, nursing manpower needed in a secondary hospital was estimated ; 27 nursing personnels for the medical nursing unit of 37beds, and 20 nursing personnels for the surgical nursing unit of 33beds.
