Dimethylamine (DMA) is the immediate precursor of carcinogenic N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA). In vitro and in vivo experiments using whole strawberries, and garlic and kale juices were conducted to determine concentrations of DMA and trimethylamine (TMA) in foods and urine. Experimental diets [an amino-rich diet as nitrosatable precursors in combination with added nitrate-containing drinking water without (TD1) or with whole strawberries or garlic or kale juices (TD2, TD3 and TD4, respectively), or a diet of low in nitrate and amino (TD5) were incubated in simulated saliva and gastric juices at 37$^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. We also studied the urinary excretion of DMA and TMA after consumption of the experimental diets (TD1~TD5). Urine samples were obtained for 18 hrs after consumption of experimental diets and concentrations of DMA and TMA were measured in the digested diet and urine. The DMA concentration after incubation in experimental diets (TD1~TD5) was 4.7$\pm$0.3, 6.7 $\pm$0.2, 7.9$\pm$0.2, 7.1$\pm$0.2 and 0.3$\pm$0.1 mg/kg, respectively. Urinary excretion of DMA (TD1~TD5) was 22.0$\pm$5.0, 28.3$\pm$4.3, 29.2$\pm$4.1, 27.4$\pm$4.5 and 20.4$\pm$3.1 mg/18 hr, respectively. Consumption diets with added strawberries or juices of kale or garlic increased urinary TMA and DMA, suggesting that those precursors were excreted and not converted to the carcinogen, NMDA.

The purpose of this study was to compare phonological awareness ability of students with Down Syndrome(DS) and typically developing children(TD). TD and DS were equal the reading abilities(reading recognition). The subject were 10 DS and 10 TD, and were examined by test of phonological awareness. The test of phonological awareness was composed according to phonological units(word, syllable, phoneme) and task types(deletion, discrimination, blending). The results obtained in this study were as follows: The total score of phonological awareness ability of DS were significantly lower than TD. And the score of phonological awareness ability according to phonological units and task types were significantly lower than TD. But both DS and TD performed better on phonological deletion and blending task than discrimination. TD and DS represented different correlation between task types and phonological units. This means that TD performed better on all types of tasks and phonological units than DS.

The objective of this study was to improve the extent of drug release as well as the dissolution rate of TD49, a novel algicidal agent, via the preparation of solid dispersion (SD). Among the various carriers tested, $Solutol^{(R)}$ HS15 was most effective to enhance the solubility of TD49. Subsequently, SDs of TD49 were prepared by using $Solutol^{(R)}$ HS15 and their solubility, dissolution characteristics and drug crystallinity were examined at various drug-carrier ratios. Solubili ty of TD49 was increased significantly in accordance with increasing the ratio of $Solutol^{(R)}$ HS15 in SDs. Compared to untreated powders and physical mixtures (PMs), SDs facilitated the faster and greater extent of drug release in water. Particularly, SD having the drug-carrier ratio of 1:20 exhibited approximately 90% of drug release within 1 hr. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) thermograms and X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns suggested that SDs might enhance the dissolution of TD49 by changing the drug crystallinity to an amorphous form in addition to the increased solubilization of drug in the presence of $Solutol^{(R)}$ HS15. In conclusion, SD using $Solutol^{(R)}$ HS15 appeared to be effective to improve the extent of drug release and the dissolution rate of poorly water soluble TD49.

Genetic parameters for first lactation milk production based on test day (TD) records of 56319 Iranian Holstein cows from 655 herds that first calved between 1991 and 2001 were estimated with restricted maximum likelihood method under an Animal model. Traits analyzed were milk yield and milk fat percentage. Heritability for TD records were highest in second half of the lactation, ranging from 0.11 to 0.19 for milk yield and 0.038 to 0.094 for milk fat percentage respectively. Estimates for lactation records for these traits were 0.24 and 0.26 respectively. Genetic correlations between individual TD records were high for consecutive TD records (>0.9) and decreased as the interval between tests increased. Estimates of genetic correlations of TD yield with corresponding lactation yield were highest (0.78 to 0.86) for mid-lactation (TD3 to TD8). Phenotypic correlations were lower than corresponding genetic correlations, but both followed the same pattern. For milk fat percentage no clear pattern was found. Results of this study suggested that TD yields especially in mid-lactation may be used for genetic evaluation instead of 305-day yield.

하계 우리나라 연안내만에서 빈번하게 발생하는 유해 적조생물 제어는 수산피해를 최소화하기 위한 중요한 국가적 현안문제이다. 본 연구에서는 Thiazolidinedione 유도체 물질인 GreenTD 농도 구배별로 유해 미세조류 4종(Chattonella marina, Heterosigma akashiwo, Cochlodinium polykriokides, Heterocapsa circularisquama)과 무해 미세조류 3종 (Chaetoceros simplex, Skeletonema sp., Tetraselmis sp.)에 대해 생물 고밀도 실험군과 저밀도 실험군에서 살조물질 농도별 살조효율과 선택성을 조사하였다. 유해종에 속하는 침편모조류 C. marina와 H. akashiwo는 각각 GreenTD 0.5와 $0.2{\mu}gL^{-1}$ 농도에서 단시간에 확실한 효과를 보였으며, 14일 동안의 관찰에서도 재성장을 보이지 않았다. 적조생물 C. polykrikoides은 GreenTD $0.2{\mu}gL^{-1}$ 이상의 농도에서 광합성활성이 현저하게 떨어졌고, 살조효율 역시 80% 이상으로 나타났다. 특히, GreenTD $0.2{\mu}gL^{-1}$에서도 C. polykrikoides가 재성장하지 않은 것으로 보아, 본 물질은 C. polykrikoides에 대한 살조효과가 우수할 것으로 판단된다. H. circularisquama는 고밀도 실험군에서 GreenTD $0.5{\mu}gL^{-1}$, 저밀도 실험군에서는 GreenTD $0.2{\mu}gL^{-1}$ 농도에서부터 일정하게 영향을 받는 것으로 파악되었다. 규조류 C. simplex와 Skeletonema sp.에 대해서는 생물농도가 고밀도일 때 GreenTD $0.2{\mu}gL^{-1}$에서는 크게 영향을 받지 않았으며, 초기 일정한 영향을 받은 후 시간 경과와 더불어 재성장이 이루어졌다. 특히 녹조류 Tetraselmis sp.는 최고농도인 GreenTD $1.0{\mu}gL^{-1}$에서도 일정하게 높은 값을 유지하였다. GreenTD 농도와 생물밀도에 따른 차이가 뚜렷하게 나타났으나, 전반적으로 살조물질의 효과는 침편모조류>와편모조류>규조류>녹조류 순으로 나타났다. 결과적으로 GreenTD 물질은 유해종에는 높은 살조능력이 있고, 무해종에는 일시적으로 광합성활성에 영향을 주지만, 시간의 경과에 따라 회복되는 것을 알 수 있다. 따라서, 적조생물 C. polykrikoides 제어하기 위해서는 고밀도 실험군에서 80.8%의 살조효과를 보인 GreenTD $0.2{\mu}gL^{-1}$의 농도가 적절할 것으로 판단되며, 현장 적용시 일시적인 희석등을 고려하여 적정농도보다 높게 살포하면 일정하게 높은 살조효율을 가질 것이며, 이는 경제성을 고려하여 충분한 경쟁력이 있는 물질로 기대된다.

Objectives : The aim of this study was to determine whether children with Tourette disorder (TD) have functional impairment and executive dysfunction in comparison to children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and non-affected controls. Methods : From January 2006 to December 2013, 45 children and adolescents with TD and 50 children and adolescents with ADHD diagnosed at the Soonchunhyang University Bucheon Hospital and 50 non-affected controls were enrolled in this study. Functional impairment of the subjects was assessed using the Child and Adolescents Functioning Impairment Scale (CAFIS), parent and teacher versions. In addition, neuropsychological tests including Stroop color-word Test, Finger windows Test (FWT), and Digit span were administered. Outcomes were compared across the TD, ADHD, and non-affected controls. Results : No difference in CAFIS-parent and CAFIS-teacher results was observed between children with TD and non-affected controls, whereas, children with ADHD showed more impairments relative to non-affected controls in the CAFIS-parent. According to the Stroop color-word Test, FWT, and Digit span, executive function in children with TD did not differ from non-affected controls. Children with ADHD had poorer performance in measures of the Stroop color-word Test compared to children with TD. Conclusion : Children and adolescents with TD but not ADHD were not significantly different from non-affected controls on most measures of functional impairment and executive function. These findings suggest that an education program and intervention for children with TD would be important to reducing the stigma of TD.

There are three main kinds of service standards for 3G(Third-Generation) wireless communication as WCDMA, CDMA2000 and TD-SCDMA(Time Division-Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access). Compare with WCDMA and CDMA2000, TD-SCDMA system has distinguished technical characters. It is a TDD(Time Division Duplexing) based technology and deploys several advanced but in some respects complex technologies such as smart antenna, joint-detection and baton-handoff, etc. Therefore to analyze and design TD-SCDMA wireless network, it needs more efficient and systematic simulation tool. General simulation tool has so many analysis functions including path loss prediction, capacity and coverage analysis. For more suitable for TD-SCDMA, new additional technologies have to be implemented in simulation tool. Especially as the wireless network highly advancing focused on data service, it more needs to research and develop on the reliability of the simulation tool. In this paper, to give the concrete process and skill about how to implement TD-SCDMA simulation tool, we define the kinds of simulation tool and list basic analysis functions available for TD-SCDMA network design at first. And then we explain how to consider the effects of new technologies of TD-SCDMA and give the solutions about theses considerations.
