The physico-chemical and texture characteristics of meat determine the nutritional, technological and sensory quality. However, the analysis of meat quality requires expensive, laborious and time consuming analytical methods. The objective of this study was to evaluate NIR spectroscopy using transmittance for determining the moisture, fat, protein and total pigment content, the water holding capacity (WHC) and the toughness of beef meat. A total of 318 spectra were recorded from ground beef samples by a Feed Analyzer 1265 of Infratec. The samples were obtained from the Longissimus muscle of the 10$^{th}$ rib of yearling bulls, ground with an electrical chopper, vacuum packaged, aged during 7 days and frozen at -24$^{\circ}C$ until the analyses were done. Moisture content was measured by oven drying at 10$0^{\circ}C$, fat content was determined by Soxhlet extraction and protein content was estimated from nitrogen content using the Kjeldahl analysis. The total pigment content was determined by the method of Hornsey and the WHC using the method of filter paper press. The instrumental evaluation of texture (maximum load WB, maximum stress MS and toughness) was conducted in an Instron equipment with a Warner-Bratzler shearing device. This analysis was performed on a chop of 3.5 cm obtained from the longissimus of the 8$^{th}$ rib, aged during 7 days, kept frozen at -24$^{\circ}C$ and cooked before the analysis. Near infrared spectra were recorded as log 1/T (T=transmittance) at 2 nm intervals from 850 to 1050 nm using a Feed Analyzer 1265 of Infratec. Calibrations were performed with the WinISI software (vs. 1.02) using the MPLS method. To examine the effect of scatter correction o. derivation of spectra on the calibration performance, calibrations were calculated with the crude spectra or pretreated with different mathematical treatments (inverse MSC, SNVD) and/or second derivative operation. For chemical composition, the use of the scatter corrections improved the calibration statistics, in terms of lower SECV and higher $r^2$. In most of the variables, the use of the 2$^{nd}$ derivative improved the predictions, mainly when combined with the SNVD treatment. However, for predicting the texture traits, the best estimation was obtained from the crude spectrum. These results showed that the equations obtained for predicting moisture, fat and total pigments were very accurate, with $r^2$ being higher that 0.9. However, the prediction of the texture traits (WB, MS, toughness) from ground meat was poor.

복합레진이 개발된 이후 많은 물성의 향상이 이루어졌으나 복합레진의 중합수축은 아직 해결되지 않은 주요 단점으로 남아있다. 중합수축이 적은 복합레진을 만들기 위한 많은 노력이 이루어졌고, 최근에 기존의 methacrylate 기질이 아닌 silorane 기질의 복합레진이 개발되었다. 본 연구에서는 silorane 기질의 복합레진과 methacrylate 기질의 복합레진의 중합수축거동을 측정하고 비교하고자 하였다. 온도변화에 민감하지 않으며 실시간으로 복합레진의 체적 중합수축을 측정할 수 있는 계측장치를 제작하여 사용하였다. 5종의 methacrylate 기질의 수복용 복합레진(Beautifil, Z100, Z250, Z350, Gradia X)과 silorane 기질 복합레진 (P90)의 중합수축을 10분 동안 측정하여, 중합수축량, 최대 중합수축률 그리고 최대수축시간을 비교하였다. 복합레진의 중합수축은 제품별로 많은 차이를 보였다. Silorane 기질의 P90복합레진의 중합수축이 1.48%로 가장 낮았고 Beautifil 복합레진의 중합수축이 2.80%로 가장 높았다. Methacrylate 계열의 복합레진 사이에도 중합수축량에 제품별로 유의한 차이를 보였다(p<0.05). 최대 중합수축률은 P90이 0.13%/s로 가장 낮았고 Z100이 0.34%/s로 가장 높았다. 최대 수축시간은 methacrylate기질의 복합레진(2.4-3.1초)에 비해, silorane 기질의 P90 복합레진이 6.7초로 두 배 이상 길었다. 최대중합수축률은 중합수축과 최대수축시간의 역수를 곱한 값과 강한 양의 상관관계를 보였다(R = 0.95).

Background and objectives : Soeumin Bojungykgi-tang (seBYTE) has been used to supplement qi in Korean medicine. It has been demonstrated to possess various biological functions such as anti-cancer, anti-aging and anti-inflammatory effects. The present study evaluated the protective roles of seBYTE in hepatotoxic in vitro and in vivo model. Methods : To investigate cytoprotective effect of seBYTE, HepG2 cells were pretreated with seBYTE and then subsequently exposed to $10{\mu}m$ AA for 12 h, followed by $5{\mu}m$ iron. Cell viability was examined by MTT assay, and expression of apoptosis-related proteins was evaluated by immunoblot analysis. For responsible molecular mechanisms, ROS production, GSH contents, and mitochondrial membrane potential were measured. In addition, hepatoprotective effect of seBYTE in vivo was assessed in $CCl_4$-induced animal model. Results : seBYTE prevented AA + iron-induced cytotoxicity in concentration dependent manner. In addition, ROS production, GSH depletion, and mitochondrial dysfunction induced by AA + iron were significantly reduced by seBYTE pretreatment. Furthermore, seBYTE recovered expression of the pro-apoptotic proteins such as PARP and pro-caspase-3. In animal experiment, plasma ALT and AST levels were significantly elevated in $CCl_4$ treatment, but seBYTE significantly decreased the ALT and AST levels. Moreover, seBYTE alleviated the numbers of histological activity index, percentages of degenerative regions, degenerated hepatocytes, infiltrated inflammatory cells, nitrotyrosine- and 4-hydroxynonenal-positive cells in liver. Conclusions : These results showed that hepatoprotective effect of seBYTE against on $CCl_4$-induced hepatic damages is partly due to antioxidative and anti-apoptotic process.

인체에 널리 사용되고 있는 Aspirin (ASA)을 양식 뱀장어 (Anguilla japonica) 약욕 또는 경구 투여한 다음 혈장 중의 ASA와 salicylic acid (SA)의 양을 HPLC로 측정하였다. 뱀장어 혈장은 0.2 M HCl과 0.2 M orthophosphoric acid로 산성화시킨 다음 acetonitrile과 혼합하여 ASA와 SA를 추출하였다. 2약제의 정량은 Novapak C18과 UV detector (237 nm)가 장착된 HPLC로 측정하였다. 이 때 이동상은 740 ㎖의 증류수, 900 ㎕의 orthophosphoric acid와 180㎖의 acetonitrile을 사용하였다. ASA, SA 및 내부 표준물질로 사용한 2-methylbenzoic acid (MBA)의 retention time은 각각 4.8분, 8.4분 및 11.4분이였으며, 측정한계 농도는 ASA가 0.05 ㎍/㎖, SA는 0.01 ㎍/㎖였다. 혈장으로 부터의 평균회수율은 ASA가 70.8-99.6%, SA는 95.2-100.3%였다. 뱀장어에 ASA를 약욕 (20 ppm) 또는 경구투여 (50 ㎎/kg BW) 한 다음 채취한 혈장을 시료로 이 방법으로 ASA와 SA의 양을 측정한 결과 단지 SA만 검출되어졌고, ASA는 검출되지 않았다. 이는 ASA가 혈장내에서 신속히 SA로 분해되기 때문으로 판명되었다. 또 ASA에 약욕시킨 경우에는 약욕 후 3시간후에 혈장내의 SA양이 최고치에 도달하였으며, 경구투여 한 경우에는 7일후에 최고치에 도달하였다. 한편 ASA를 투여한 다음 ASA 무첨가 수조에 수용한 결과 2투여 경로 모두 48시간 이후에는 SA가 0.02-0.03 ㎍/㎖이 검출되어 잔류의 문제도 거의 없었다. HPLC를 이용한 혈장내의 ASA와 SA의 검출법은 신속하며 정확한 방법으로 뱀장어 이외의 어류에도 활용 가능할 것으로 생각된다.

Heat production in ruminants follows a diurnal pattern over the course of a day peaking 3 hours following afternoon feeding and then gradually declining to its lowest point prior to morning feeding. In order to clarify the cooling period most effective in reducing decreases in feed intake and milk production, experiments were carried out based on the diurnal rhythm of heat production and heat dissipation. In experiment 1, the effects of hot environment on milk production were investigated. The animals were kept first in a thermoneutral environment ($20.0^{\circ}C$, 80.0%) for 12 days, they were then transitioned to a hot environment ($32^{\circ}C$, 80.0%) for 13 days before being returned to second thermoneutral environment for a further 12 days. In experiment 2, the effectiveness of daytime cooling or nighttime cooling for improving milk production in hot environment was compared. While ten lactating Japanese Saanen goats (aged 2 years, weighing 41.0 kg) during early lactation were used in experiment 1, ten lactating goats (aged 2 years, weighing 47.5 kg) during mid-lactation were used in experiment 2. The animals were fed 300 g of concentrated feed and excessive amounts of crushed alfalfa hay cubes twice daily. Water was given ad libitum. The animals were milked twice daily. When exposed to a hot environment, milk yield and composition decreased significantly (p<0.05). Milk yield in the hot environment did not change with daytime cooling, but tended to increase with nighttime cooling. Compared to the daytime cooling, milk components percentages in the nighttime cooling were not significantly different but the milk components yields in the nighttime cooling were significantly higher (p<0.05). The results indicate that nighttime cooling is more effective than daytime cooling in the reduction of milk production declines in lactating goats exposed to a hot environment.

기존 보고된 바에 의하면 한국 자생 버뮤다그래스는 군집 내에서 형태학, 생육 특성, 세포학적 특성에 대해 유전적으로 매우 다양한 변이를 보여주었다. 버뮤다그래스의 염색체 수와 핵 DNA 량에 따르면 배수성 수준의 범위가, 3배 체(2n=3x), 4배체(2n=4x), 5배체(2n=5x), 6배체(2n=6x)로 나타났었다. 본 연구에서는 한국에서 휴면이 유도되는저온과 짧은 일장에 대한 항산화효소(superoxide dismutase, catalase, peroxidase, ascorbate peroxidase)의 다양한 반응과 각 버뮤다그래스 세포형의 세포막 안정성을 조사하였다. 모든 항산화효소는 휴면 기간동안 높게 나타났으나, 과산화수소를 물과 산소 분자로 변환시키는 헴기를 함유한 카탈라제는 6배체 버뮤다그래스를 제외한 세 개의 세포형에서 휴면이 개시되기 전에 활성화되었다. 상대적으로 세엽이며 생육속도가 빠른3배체와 4배체는 superoxide dismutase와 peroxidase 효소의 활성이 증가됨을 확인하였다. 수산기를 가진 라디칼에 의해 손상을 받은 세포막에서 지질과산화의 산물인 말론디알데히드(MDA)는 온도가 감소함에 따라 모든 세포형에서 증가되었고, 방어적인 항산화효소를 더 갖고 있는 3배체와 4배체는 MDA 생산이 현저하게 더 낮게 나타났다. 전해질 유출은 5배체와 6배체에서 더 높았던 것과 유사하게, 저온이 적용될 때 외견상으로 세포막에 더 손상을 받는 것 같았다. 실험 결과, 서로 다른 세포형(cytotype)의 항산화 반응은 유전적으로 특이적이며, 이는 버뮤다그래스에서 저온 저항성과의 연관성을 분자 수준에서 더 연구하는 것이 필요하다.

This study was conducted to compare the effects of feeding high protein and low energy milk replacer (HPR; CP 25%, ME 3.6 Mcal/kg DM) with low protein and high energy milk replacer (HPR; CP 21%, ME 4.2 Mcal/kg DM) on feed consumption, body weight (BW) gain, health and selected blood metabolites in Holstein calves during the pre-weaning period. At each feeding, each milk replacer (MR) was prepared by mixing 0.125 kg of dry MR in 1L of warm ($60^{\circ}C$) water. The calves were fed either HPR (n = 10) or HER (n = 10) using mobile plastic bottles fitted with soft rubber nipples. All calves received 1.8L diluted MR at each feeding 3 times daily during the first 4 weeks of age; feeding frequency was reduced to 2 times daily for the next 2 weeks of age and then to once daily during the last week of the experiment. Jugular blood was sampled in calves at day 7, 14, 21, 35 and 49 of age to enumerate selected metabolites. Daily MR, starter and hay intake during the pre-weaning period were similar in calves fed HPR and HER. Consumption of starter, MGH and total DM steadily increased with the age of calves. Final BW, daily BW gain and feed efficiency of calves were not affected by treatments. Serum glucose, cholesterol, creatinine were decreased (p<0.05) and blood urea N was increased (p<0.05) in calves fed HER or HPR as they grew older. Serum glucose, total protein and albumin concentrations in calves were not affected by treatments. Serum GPT and GOT concentrations were higher (p<0.05) in calves on HPR than on HER. Scouring score, days scoured, respiratory score, rectal temperature and general appearance were similar in calves fed HPR and HER. Poor general appearance (dullness and droopy ears) of calves fed either HPR or HER reflected nutritional insufficiency and stress. In conclusion, energy and protein concentrations in MR did not affect feed intake and BW gain in Holstein calves during the pre-weaning period. Poor general appearance and lower BW gain of calves compared to those reported in the literature for milk fed calves prompt a demand for further research to improve the daily nutrient supply to MR-fed calves.

Background: To evaluate the perception of cancer patients toward treatment services and influencing factors and to inquire about the use of complementary alternative medicine (CAM). Materials and Methods: Information was obtained through pre-tested structured questionnaires completed by cancer patients during treatment at King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Results: Of 242 patients, 137 (64.6%) accepted to enter this study. Most were Saudi (n=93, 68%), female (n=80, 58%), educated at university (n=71, 52%), married (n=97, 72%) and with breast cancer (n=36, 26%). One-hundred (73%) patients were satisfied with the services provided; 61% were Saudi. Ninety-four (68%) respondents were satisfied with the explanation of their cancer. Twenty-eight (21.6%) patients received CAM, of them 54.0% received herbal followed by rakia (21.0%), nutritional supplements/vitamins (7.0%) and Zamam water (18.0%), with significant differences among them (p =0.004). Seven (5%) patients believed this therapy could be used alone; 34 (25%) patients believed it could be used with other treatments, regardless of whether they themselves used this therapy. Fifty-three (53%) satisfied patients felt they received enough support; 31 (58%) patients received support from family and friends; 22 (41.6%) patients received support from the health-care team. Patients who received information about their disease from their physicians and those who felt they had enough support were more satisfied. The patients who took alternative treatment were older age, mostly female and highly educated but values did not reach significance. Conclusions: We stress enhancing the educational and supportive aspects of cancer-patient services to improve their treatment satisfaction and emphasize the need for increasing the educational and awareness programs offered to these patients.

There are accumulating evidences that high levels of dietary iron may play a role in colon carcinogenesis. Elevated iron status has been associated with oxidative stress. Phytic acid (PA) functions as an antioxidant by chelating divalent cations and prevents formation of reactive oxygen species responsible for cell injury and carcinogenesis. The protective effect of PA was investigated on formation of aberrant crypt foci (ACF) induced by azoxymethane (AOM) in iron-overloaded male F344 rats. After acclimation with AIN-93G purified diet (35 ppm Fe, normal control diet) for one week, animals were fed iron-overloaded diet (350 ppm Fe) and PA (0.5% or 2% PA in water) for 8 weeks. Animals received two (1st and 2nd week) injections of AOM (15 mg/kg b.w.) to induce colonic ACF. The colonic mucosa was examined for the total numbers of aberrant crypt (AC) and ACF after staining with methylene blue. The blood and serum were analyzed with a blood cell differential counter and an automatic serum analyzer. Iron-overloaded diet increased the concentration of iron in liver of the rats. But iron-related parameters in blood were not changed among experimental groups. The numbers of ACF per colon and AC per colon were $178.8{\pm}33.2$ and $448.4{\pm}110.2$ in the iron-overloaded F344 rats. The total AC was significantly increased, compared with normal-diet AOM control group (p < 0.05). The treatments of PA at the dose of 0.5% slightly decreased the number of ACF and AC per colon to $153.6{\pm}29.5$ and $396.3{\pm}107.5$. However, there were no significant differences in the total numbers of ACF and AC between the AOM control group and PA (0.5% or 2%)-treated groups. These results suggest that PA may not affect the formation of ACF or AC induced by AOM in ironoverloaded F344 rats.

최근에 간척 조성된 화옹, 이원 및 영산강간척지에서 밭작물재배가능성을 검토하기 위하여 2007~2008년 2년간 간척지의 염농도변이와 녹비 사료작물의 생육과의 관계를 시험연구하였다. 토양염농도는 여름철 호우시 배수불량에 의한 침수피해가 심하였든 영산강간척지와 화옹간척지에서는 시험작물의 생육에 유의적 영향을 보이지 않았으나 침수피해가 없었든 이원간척지는 염농도가 증가함에 따라 작물생육과 수량은 로그함수적으로 감소하는 경향을 보였으며, 가장 큰 초장에 대한 대비 50% 이상 생육저해를 나타내는 표토염농도는 콩 $5dS\;m^{-1}$, 옥수수 $6dS\;m^{-1}$, 수단그리스, 피 및 세스바니아는 $7dS\;m^{-1}$ 정도로 추정되었고, 이 저해농도에서의 녹비수량의 감수율은 최고수량대비 26~44%수준으로 염농도에 대한 수량감수피해가 초장단축저해보다 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 시험작물의 건물수량 $kg\;10a^{-1}$)은 장소에 따라 변이가 매우 커서 잘 된 장소가 수단그라스 2,426, 제주재래피 907, 세스바니아 1,881, 옥수수 2,032, 콩 924정도로 높은 편이지만 염농도가 높고 침수나 습해를 입은 장소는 전혀 수확이 없는 개무 상태였다. 상대적으로 염농도가 낮은 영산강과 배수가 좋은 이원간척지는 비교적 수량이 많았으나 화옹간척지는 염농도도 높고 배수도 불량하여 매우 낮은 수준이었다.
