Objective: The objective of this experiment was to characterize the mRNA expression profile of type IIb sodium-inorganic phosphate cotransporter (NaPi-IIb) and the biochemical values of serum alkaline phosphatase (AKP), calcium, inorganic phosphorus, tibial ash and minerals of broiler chickens with aging. Methods: A total of 56 one-day-old Arbor Acres male broiler chickens were used. Broiler chickens were weighed and samples were collected weekly from day 1. Results: The result showed that before the growth inflection point, ash, calcium, and phosphorus content in the tibia of broiler chickens increased with growth (before 3 weeks of age), although there were no significant differences in chicks at different ages in the later period of the experiment and weight gain rate was relatively slow at this stage (4 to 6 weeks). NaPi-IIb gene expression in the small intestine in the early growth stage was higher than that in the later growth stage. Expression of calbindin and the vitamin D receptor protein in the intestinal mucosa increased with age in the duodenum and jejunum. Serum AKP activity first increased and subsequently decreased after peaking at 1 week of age, but there was no significant difference after 3 weeks of age. Conclusion: These results show that compared with the early growth stage, the weight-gain rate of broiler chickens in the late growth stage gradually decreased with gradual tibia maturation, along with weaker positive transport of phosphorus in the intestine and reinforced re-absorption of phosphorus in the kidney, which might be the reason that phosphorus requirement in the late growth stage was decreased.

Background: The prognosis of primary glioblastoma (GBM) is poor. Approximately 2/3 of primary brain tumor diagnoses are GBM, of which 95% are primary lesions. In this study, we aimed to evaluate whether more sunlight exposure has an effect on survival of patients with primary GBM. Materials and Methods: A total of 111 patients with primary GBM were enrolled from Kayseri in inner Anatolia which has a cold climate (n: 40) and Mersin in Mediterranean region with a warm climate and more sunlight exposure (n: 71). The patients with primary GBM were divided into two groups as Kayseri and Mersin and compared for progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).Results: The PFS values were 7.0 and 4.7 months for Kayseri and Mersin groups, respectively (p=0.10) and the repsective OS values were 13.3 and 9.4 months (p=0.13). We did not found any significant difference regarding age, sex, comorbidity, smoking, surgery, resurgery, adjuvant chemoradiotherapy and palliative chemotherapy between the groups. Conclusions: We found that more sunlight exposure had no impact on prognosis of patients with primary GBM, adding inconsistency to the literature about the relationship between sunlight and GBM.

A female Green iguana (Iguana iguana) was brought to the small animal clinic in Hannover Veterinary school because of anorexia and convulsion. Two months ago, the owner bought two iguanas, one female and one male and had to take a female to the one of local small animal clinic because she, born in 19931 didn't eat well and showed the tremor of the legs. The veterinarian suspected it to have a calcium deficiency and gave an injection of calcium and vitamin D3. But still during the last two months, the female iguana did only eat some lettuce while the other male ate lettuce, fruits and commercial cat-food ($Whiskas^{\circledR}$, Effem, Verden). It was not possible to evaluate the rations of these different "food-components". They are kept in the terrarium with water container. By palpation of the abdomen, hard thing like stone was palpated in the mid-region. The blood test wasn't carried out because of the difficulties of getting blood and because of her bad condition. It was firmly diagnosed as cystic calculus through radiography. Since the animal is in shock state already, the prognosis after surgery was bad. It was assumed to be too late to expect its surviving with the surgery carried out or without it. Cystotomy was performed in the cranial ventral paramedian incision in order to preserve the large ventral abdominal vein in the linen alba region. After two stay sutures ("holding suture" ) with 5-0 polyglactin 910 ($Vicryl^{\circledR}, Ethicon$) on the bladder, cystotomy was carried out and the stone inside was removed. Then, the bladder was closed in one-layer sutures. The abdomen was closed in simple interrupted suture with same material after the instillation of 10 ml saline solution into the abdominal cavity. The cystic calculus was in a size of $5.8{\times} 5.O{\times} 3.5 cm$. The analysis of the stone was carried out in two ways which are the infrared spectroscopy of the stone and quick analysis by $Merckognost^{\circledR}$(Diagnostica Merck, Merck). In the result of the infrared spectroscopy, the stone wee composed of 10% ammonium urate and 90% dihydrated uric acid. This iguana wasn't able to survive.n't able to survive.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between vibration exposure and skeletal muscle mass index through a single university health check-up. Methods: We used data from 134,067 male subjects who received a general health check-up or vibration exposure health check-up out of the 1,515,322 people who underwent medical check-up at a local university hospital from 2002 to 2018. Pearson correlation analysis was conducted for comparing the association between skeletal muscle mass index and demographic and hematological variables in both groups. Mixed linear model analysis after controlling demographic and hematological variables was used to analyze the differences in skeletal muscle mass index between groups at every visit over 10 years. Results: In the Pearson correlation test, the variables that showed different results when comparing the two groups were C-reactive protein (p=0.001) and glycated hemoglobin (p=0.002) in the vibration exposure group and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (p<0.001) and vitamin D (p<0.001) in the general group. After the adjustment of demographic and hematologic variables, the skeletal muscle mass index at every visit was markedly decreased in the vibration exposure group (p<0.001). Conclusions: In the vibration exposure group, the skeletal muscle mass index showed a tendency to decrease markedly over time compared to the general health check-up group, which showed that C-reactive protein and glycated hemoglobin would have an influence on skeletal muscle index in male workers exposed to vibration.

This study was conducted to investigate the anthropometric data, serum profiles, nutrient intakes and diet quality of men in their 30s. The subjects were divided into a married group and an unmarried group. For the study, we obtained data for analysis from the combined 2008~2015 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). Mean height and weight of study population were 173.5 cm, and 74.0 kg in the married group and 173.1 cm, and 73.6 kg in the unmarried group, respectively. Systolic blood pressure in the unmarried group was significantly higher than that of the married group (P<0.001), while circulating vitamin D levels in the married group were significantly higher than those of the unmarried group (P<0.001). The proportion of obesity in the two groups was 42.41% and 38.40%, respectively. In the unmarried group, prevalence of depression was significantly higher than that those of the married group. Intakes of energy, water, protein, fat, carbohydrate and calcium in the married group were significantly higher than those of the unmarried group. In both groups, water and fiber intakes were low and sodium intakes were extremely high based on the KDRIs (Dietary Reference Intakes for Koreans). The mean adequacy ratio (MAR) of the married group was higher than that of the unmarried group. The index of nutritional quality (INQ) in the married group was also higher than that of the unmarried group. Therefore, we propose development of dietary guidelines and education programs for improvement of food and nutrient intakes, nutrition balance and dietary quality of unmarried men in their 30s.

신성골이영양증 (Renal osteodystrophy)은 만성 신질환 환자에서 관찰되는 골격성 변화를 특징으로 하는 질환으로 칼슘과 인 대사의 변화, 그리고 이차성 부갑상선 기능항진증의 결과로 나타난다. 방사선학적으로 지골의 말단, 장골과 악골 부위의 골막하 부위의 침식을 흔하게 관찰할 수 있다. 악안면 영역에서 골변화는 골밀도의 감소, 방사선 투과성 병소 (갈색 종양 : brown tumor), 피질골의 비박화와 치조백선의 소실을 보인다. 그러나 이러한 골변화가 악관절에 발생하는 것은 흔치 않은 일이다. 본 증례는 양측 하악 과두의 골변화를 보인 신성골이영양증 환자를 보고하고자 한다. 지난 10년 간 혈액 투석 치료와 3개월 전 신장암 수술 병력이 있는 41세 남자 환자가 좌측 턱의 통증을 주소로 2011년 2월 단국대학교 치과대학부속 치과병원 구강내과에 내원하였다. 양측 악관절의 골관절염과 유사한 방사선학적 소견을 보였고, 전치부 개방교합이 관찰되었다. CBCT를 이용한 방사선학적 특징과 생화학적 지표를 통해 신성골이영양증으로 인한 양측 턱관절의 골관절염으로 진단 되어 환자는 내과에서 신성골이영양증의 치료 방법의 하나인 칼슘 및 비타민 D 복용고 부갑상선 절제술을 시행 받았고, 그 동안 턱관절의 통증 조절을 위해 본원에서는 행동 요법과 약물 치료, 물리치료만 시행하였다. 약 1년 3개월 후 재검사에서 하악골의 골밀도와 피질골 두께가 증가하였고, 하악 과두 외형이 비교적 명확하게 바뀌었다. 골변화는 만성 신장 질환의 초기 단계부터 시작되므로 치과의사는 이러한 질환의 징후 및 가능성을 신속히 감별할 수 있어야 한다. 또한 골관절염과 신성골이영양증의 치료 프로토콜이 다르기 때문에 두 질환을 감별하는 것이 중요하다.

초임계 유체를 이용하여 참기름을 생산하기 위한 기초연구로 참깨에 존재하는 천연항산화제인 $\gamma$-토코페롤을 고함유한 참기름에 대해 연구하였다. $\gamma$-토코페롤은 $\alpha$-토코페롤에 비해 비타민 E 효력은 약하긴 하나, 참깨의 리그난과 길항적으로 작용하면 생체내 잔존율이 높아져 $\alpha$-토코페롤처럼 과산화지질 생성을 억제한다고 한다. 참깨의 볶음온도와 시간, 초임계 유체의 압력과 온도 그리고 초임계 유체의 유속 변화 시 $\gamma$-토코페롤의 함량에 미치는 영향에 대해 연구하였다. 그 볶음 온도 변화 시 $200^{\circ}C$ 이후 $\gamma$-토코페롤의 농도가 거의 일정하게 유지되었고, $200^{\circ}C$에서 배전시간을 증가함으로써 약 1.13배 정도 $\gamma$-토코페롤의 농도가 증가되었다. 초임계 유체 추출 시 250 bar를 제외한 압력변화에 의해 $\gamma$-토코페롤의 농도는 거의 변화하지 않았다. 그러나 같은 온도에서 초임계 유체의 유속을 $1{\~}3 m{\ell}/L$로 변화시킴에 의해 $\gamma$-토코페롤의 농도가 1.1배${\~}$1.5배 증가되었는데, 이는 $\gamma$-토코페롤의 이 추출 메카니즘이 탈착보다는 확산에 의해 이뤄짐을 알 수 있었다. 이상의 결과를 토대로 기존 압출추출방법과 초임계 추출 방법을 비교한 결과 $\gamma$-토코페롤의 농도가 1.3${\~}$1.6배 증가함을 확인할 수 있었다.
