  • The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of self-stretching exercises for iliotibial band (ITB) (Side-lying; right hip and knee were flexed to support the pelvis while left hip was extended and adducted, Standing A; side-bending of the trunk on standing with crossed leg, Standing B; same as Standing A, except the hands were clasped overhead and shifted right side, and Standing C; same as Standing B, except moving the arms diagonally downward) to help determine the most effective self-stretching method to stretch ITB. Twenty-one healthy subjects who do not have ITB shortness from Yonsei University (14 men and 7 women) between the ages of 18 to 28 years voluntarily participated. Ultrasound was performed to measure the thickness of the ITB between the long axis of the ITB and the level parallel to the lateral femoral epicondyle during four self-stretching exercises. All data were found to approximate a normal distribution. We used a one-way repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) to compare the thickness of the ITB among all self-stretching exercises. The level of significance was set at ${\alpha}$=.05. The ANOVA was followed by Bonferroni's correction. The overall mean of ITB thickness was $1.14{\pm}.4$ mm (${\pm}$ standard deviation) in resting status. The change in the ITB thickness in percentages between the tested position of each self-stretching exercises and resting status was significant (p<.05) (Side-lying $26.62{\pm}10.18%$ with 95% confidence interval [CI]=21.99~31.25%; Standing A $29.46{\pm}16.19%$ with 95% CI=22.09~36.84%; Standing B $44.06{\pm}14.82%$ with 95% CI=37.31~50.81%; Standing C $53.76{\pm}12.1%$ with 95% CI=48.25~59.29%). Results indicated significant differences among four self-stretching exercises except Side-lying versus Standing A (p<.01). Based on these findings, the Standing C self-stretching exercise was the most effective in stretching the ITB thickness among four types of ITB self-stretching exercises. Additionally, the Side-lying self-stretching exercise using gravity to stretch the ITB is recommended as a low-load (low-intensity), long-duration stretch.

  • 원자력 발전소의 많은 배관부는 고온, 고압환경에서 적용되고 있어 환경적 및 기계적 요인에 의하여 부식결함이 빈번히 발생하고 있다. 이와 같은 부식 결함은 초음파 기법 등에 의하여 평가되어야 하고, 본 연구에서는 주사형 레이저 유도 초음파(SLS) 기법을 도입하여 배관부 부식결함의 영상화 기법을 적용하였다. 본 기법은 표면이 거칠거나 배관재와 같은 곡면의 표면에서 적용할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 한편 기존의 주사형 초음파 기법은 초음파 센서와 검사대상체 사이의 초음파 전달 매개체를 확보하기 위하여 시험편이 수침되거나 워터젯을 이용하였으나 주사형 레이저 초음파 기법은 광학적 기법을 이용하여 초음파를 발생시키므로 비접촉 방법에 의한 주사 이미지 획득이 가능하다. 따라서 본 주사형 레이저 초음파 기법은 복잡한 구조물의 검사, 비접촉 원격 및 고화질의 결함 이미지 탐상이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 배관 결함의 검출능 향상을 위하여 결함 영상 획득에 있어서 다양한 조건의 레이저 유도 초음파 발생 기법을 적용하였고, 배관에 존재하는 응력부식 균열의 결함 영상을 얻게 되었다.

  • Objective: The main objective of this study was to determine the effect of different diets for early-weaned (EW) calves on rumen development, and how this affects fat deposition in the longissimus dorsi of adult Korean Hanwoo beef cattle. Methods: Three EW groups were established (each n = 12) in which two- week-old Hanwoo calves were fed for ten weeks with milk replacer+concentrate (T1), milk replacer+concentrate+roughage (T2), or milk replacer+concentrate+30% starch (T3); a control group (n = 12) was weaned as normal. At six months, 5 calves of each group were slaughtered and their organs were assessed and rumen papillae growth rates were measured. The remaining calves (n = 7 in each group) were raised to 20 months for further analysis. Results: Twenty-month-old EW calves had a higher body weight (BW), backfat thickness (BF), longissimus dorsi muscle area (LMA) and intramuscular fat (IMF) than the control (p<0.05). Organ growth, rumen histology, and gene expression patterns in the 6-month-old calves were positively related to the development of marbling in the loin, as assessed by ultrasound analysis (p<0.05). In the group fed the starch-enriched diet (T3), higher BW, BF, LMA, and IMF were present. The IMF beef quality score of 20-month-old cattle was 1+ for the T2 and T3 diets and 1 for the T1 diet (p<0.05). Conclusion: Papillae development was significantly greater in calves fed on high-concentrate diets and this may have resulted in the improved beef quality in the EW dietary groups compared to the control.

  • 본 연구는 임신초기 초음파에 의해 측정된 임산부의 복부 피하지방두께(Abdominal Subcutaneous Fat Thickness; ASFT)와 임신중기 발현되는 임신성당뇨(Gestational Diabetes Mellitus; GDM)와의 연관성을 확인하고 GDM 예측을 위한 ASFT의 기준을 알아보고자 하였다. 286명의 임산부를 대상으로 임신초기 ASFT를 측정한 후 임신중기 GDM 선별검사(50 g OGTT) 140 mg/dL 이상을 고위험군으로 산정하고 산모연령, 임신 전 체질량지수, 임신 중 체중증가량과 함께 비교 분석하였다. ROC 곡선분석을 이용하여 GDM 예측을 위한 ASFT의 cut-off value를 결정하였다. 산모연령, 임신 중 체중증가량은 임신중기 GDM과 관련성이 없었으며, 임신 전 체질량지수와 임신초기 ASFT는 정상군과 GDM 고위험군에서 의미있는 차이를 보였다. GDM 예측을 위한 ASFT의 cut-off value는 2.23 cm(AUC 0.913, Sensitivity 76.19%, Specificity 93.72%)로 결정하였다. 임신초기 초음파로 측정된 ASFT는 임신중기 GDM 예측을 위한 중요한 지표로 유용하게 평가되었다. 따라서 ASFT는 GDM을 조기에 인식하는데 있어서 보조적인 진단지표로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

  • 액상 NaK alloy, Na metal 그리고 지지체에 담지된 Na metal을 촉매로 이용하여 o-xylene과 1,3-butadiene의 alkenylation을 통한 OTP(ortho-tolyl pentene)의 합성 반응을 연구하였다. 액상의 NaK alloy 촉매인 경우 metal의 분산도를 증가시키기 위해서 ultrasound로 처리하였고 촉매상은 매우 작은 입자로 쪼개져 emulsion을 형성하면서 분산도를 증가시킬수록 전화율과 선택도를 향상시킬 수 있었다. Na metal의 경우 분산도를 증가시키기 위해 전처리가 필요하였으며 미립자로 분산이 진행되는 동안 지체(induction) 시간이 필요하였다. 지지체에 담지된 Na metal의 경우 지지체에 관계없이 80 % 이상의 전화율을 지체 시간 없이 얻을 수 있었다. 하지만 slurry 액상 반응계에서는 담지된 금속의 85 % 이상이 촉매에서 떨어져 나와 반응에 참여하는 것으로 보인다. 반응물인 1,3-butadiene과 생성물인 OTP간의 반응에 의한 부반응이 진행되어 1,3-butadiene의 양이 증가하면 부반응으로 생성된 oligomer 양이 증가하였으며 전화율이 증가하면 선택도가 반비례 관계로 감소하였다.

  • 신장결석은 발생 위치에 따라 크게 신장결석, 요관결석, 요로결석 등으로 구분되며, 유전적 요인, 식생활 습관, 생활 환경, 수술 병력 및 감염 요인 등의 다양한 원인에 의해 발생한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 2019년 1월부터 2021년 6월까지 대구시 소재한 종합병원에서 옆구리 통증을 동반 하나거나 복부초음파 검사를 위해 내원한 환자 중 요로결석을 진단받은 환자 112명을 대상으로 발견된 신장결석이 Twinkling artifact에 미치는 영향에 대해서 알아보고자 하였다. 연구결과 스캔 방법 중 세로주사 스캔에서 신장결석에 따른 Twinkling artifact 발생이 비교적 높게 나타났다. 신장결석의 개수가 많아질수록 Twinkling artifact 발생이 1.296배 증가하였고(p<0.05). 신장결석 크기가 증가할수록 Twinkling artifact 발생이 0.086배 증가하였다(p<0.05). 신장결석의 개수와 크기가 Twinkling artifact에 영향을 주는 인자임을 알 수 있었다. 신장결석이 Twinkling artifact에 미치는 영향은 신장결석의 개수와 크기가 연관성이 있기에 Twinkling artifact에 영향을 주는 변수들을 활용하여 신장결석 발견에 도움이 되도록 지속적인 관심을 가져야 할 것이다.

  • Objective: To create genetically modified goat as a biopharming source of recombinant human lacotoferrin (hLF) with transcription activator-like effector nucleases. Methods: TALENs and targeting vector were transferred into cultured fibroblasts to insert hLF cDNA in the goat beta-lactoglobulin (BLG) locus with homology-directed repair. The gene targeted efficiency was checked using sequencing and TE7I assay. The bi-allelic gene targeted colonies were isolated and confirmed with polymerase chain reaction, and used as donor cells for somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT). Results: The targeted efficiency for BLG gene was approximately 10%. Among 12 Bi-allelic gene targeted colonies, five were used in first round SCNT and 4 recipients (23%) were confirmed pregnant at 30 d. In second round SCNT, 7 (53%), 4 (31%), and 3 (23%) recipients were confirmed to be pregnant by ultrasound on 30 d, 60 d, and 90 d. Conclusion: This finding signifies the combined use of TALENs and SCNT can generate biallelic knock-in fibroblasts that can be cloned in a fetus. Therefore, it might lay the foundation for transgenic hLF goat generation and possible use of their mammary gland as a bioreactor for large-scale production of recombinant hLF.

  • Background: Physical and chemical properties of feedstuffs can be changed by feed processing. Moreover, through various mechanisms, feed processing can affect growth performance and feed efficiency of swine, nutrition value of the feed. Weaning-to service-intervals (WSI), subsequent farrowing rates, and total-born litter sizes were determined by feed intake and metabolic state during lactation. Methods: A total of 20 sows (Landrace ${\times}$ Yorkshire) with an average body weight (BW) of 266.1 kg 4 d before farrowing were used to determine the effect of feed processing on the performance of lactating sows and their offspring. The following two dietary treatments were used: 1) Crumble diet (C); and 2) Mash diet (M). Ten replications were used for each treatment. Back fat thickness of sows was measured 6 cm off the midline at the 10th rib using a real-time ultrasound instrument at 4 d before farrowing, 1 d after farrowing, and during weaning. Sow BW were also checked at 4 d before farrowing, 1 d after farrowing, and during weaning. Fecal score of sows were assessed on d 14. Fecal score of piglets were observed on d 7, 15, and 24. Data were analyzed using t-test procedure of SAS (2014) with sow as experimental unit. Results: No significant (p > 0.05) difference was observed in the reproduction performance of sows between the two treatments. In addition, there was no significant (p > 0.05) difference in the growth performance of piglets between the two treatments. Fecal score of sows or piglets showed no significant (p > 0.05) difference either. Conclusions: In conclusion, different feed processing (mash or crumble) did not make any significant difference on the performance of lactation sow or their piglets.

  • Planning for the space of the Media Medical Department requires the details about the efficiency of the equipment and the operation in professional sector. For that, as designing, it is necessary to keep communicating with the experts on the technology and the officials from the company producing the equipment. One of the common concerns is not only how to insure enough room for the future extension and the upgrade of the equipment, as concerning the scale of the hospital, but the plan to cover movie cameras. As technology has been developed, despite the fact that machinery tend to be small, it can be possible to require continuously about the concerns of the scale because the camera taking body-picture tend to be much bigger and more complicated than before. Currently used diagnostic media techniques are divided by the method and the feature of the equipment such as Diagnostic X-ray, Ultrasound, CT, MRI, Angiography. The general and special photographing units which are used more than the other diagnostic parts, must be planned not for experiencing any inconvenience and unnecessary risks for the patients and must accept technical requirements. Also, it must be designed not to be seen as a clinic zone, as concerning the psychological stability of the patients. However, study of the general and special photographing units among the domestic general hospitals is insufficient. Also, as there is shortage of the material considering the development of the equipment, when planning, it's involving a lot of difficulties. Thus, this study has got a purpose on giving the basic material which is essential for further study, as suggesting the planning guidelines and the alternative plans for the general and special photographing units in a general hospital.
