Saprolegnia diclina, which was the pathogen causing death in snake fishes(Channa argus) at culture farm, was investigated using scanning electron microscope. It was found that Saprolegnia diclina infection caused snake fishes to fail gas change in the gills. Cell lysis as well as edematous disease and hyperplasia as a result of Saprolegnea diclina attachment on the surface of gills were observed. The granules, the mean diameters of which ranged from 6 to $7\;{\mu}m$, attaching on the surface of gills were found to be secondary zoospores of Saprolegnia diclina. The failures of gas exchange in the gill cells and circulation as a result of the osmotic dilution of the blood were supposed to be the main cause of death.

Spherical multicellular aggregates of adult rat hepatocytes (spheroid) which have tissue like structure, were formed and immobilized in the pores of polyurethane foam (PUF) which was used as a culture substratum. These hepatocyte/spheroids, about 100 $\mu\textrm{m}$ in diameter, have maintained higher differentiated functions than those of hepatocyte/monolayer for about 3 weeks in serum-free medium. Then, we designed a prototype module of an artificial liver support system using a PUF/spheroid packed-bed, in which hepatocyte/spheroids were immobilized at high density. The urea synthesis activity of the artificial liver was maintained at least 10 days in 100% rat blood plasma. We start examining the performance of hybrid artificial liver in an ex vivo extracorporeal experiment with an acute hepatic failure rat.

This study was conducted to research on the nutritional status of vegetarian boys high school students, to keep abreast with the international trend of stressing the vegetarian diet, thereby analyzing the degree of the influence of their dietary habit on their growth. The object of the study were 62boys high school students who are lacto-ovo vegetarians, and the author adopted three popular research methods. questionaire physical test and blood test Though vegetarian diet is helpful for the prevention of coronary and heart diesedse of the adults, but it is not enough for the students who are needed lot of protein and calorie.

A survey was carried out to investigate consciousness level of health. A total of 499 people living in Seoul and the vicinities were asked to fill out the questionnaire during the period from the October 1997 to the January 1998. Among the 532 answers collected 33 was imcompleate data, and 499 answers were used for the statistical analysis by using SPSS program. The most worried disease was cancer(27.6%), indigestion(23.0%), liver trouble(14.8%) and high blood pressure(14.8%). The perception of Korean on health and food habit indicated that food habit was considered the most important factor for the maintenance of health, as appeared in 28.9% of the subject. Eighty-seven percent of the respondents thought that health food is necessary for the health.

The purpose of this study was to survey the various kinds of cooked beef products focusing on 'Chim' (a steamed beef products) through historical literatures written from 1670 to 1945 in korea. 'Chim' was recorded 25 times in the references and could be classified to 5 groups based on major ingredients such as stomach, intestine, lean meat, tail and ribs. Among the eleven cooked products of 'Chim', 'Kalbi-chim' (a steamed ribs) was recorded most frequently and 'Sundae-chim' (sausage-like product) was the next. Though 'Kalbi-chim' has been used untill present day but 'Sundae-chim' was disappeared in the early 19th centuries. Ribs were most popular ingredient among the major ingredients such as stomach, intestines, lean meat, tail, feet and ribs. Twenty one kinds of subingredients including pheasant meat, blood clot and flour were used for 'Chim'. Decorating ingredients such as roasted sesame power, pine nut and thin-layer fried eggs and seasonings such as pepper, roasted sesame powder, tripe, garlic, soy sauce and seasonings such as pepper, roasted sesame powder, tripe, garlic, soy sauce and sesame oil were used for 'Chim'.

We have collected a great Quantity of leeches, comprising five species, from six different ponds and rice paddies in the south-western part of Korea. The leeches were cultured in our laboratory with special interests on the blood-suckers (Himdo nipponial in fresh water supplemented with essential ions. A number of experiments was carried out with biomedical aspects. We have observed traits which can be used as a laboratory animal. The paper reports general features obsenred from leeches with preliminary study results carried in culture systems. The paper also describes study aspects of leeches in biochemistry, neurology and developmental biology.

Chorionic villus sampling has gained importance as a tool for early cytogenetic diagnosis with a shift toward first trimester screening. First trimester screening using nuchal translucency and biomarkers is effective for screening. Chorionic villus sampling generally is performed at 10-12 weeks by either the transcervical or transabdominal approach. There are two methods of analysis; the direct method and the culture method. While the direct method may prevent maternal cell contamination, the culture method may be more representative of the true fetal karyotype. There is a concern for mosaicism which occurs in approximately 1% of cases, and mosaic results require genetic counseling and follow-up amniocentesis or fetal blood sampling. In terms of complications, procedure-related pregnancy loss rates may be the same as those for amniocentesis when undertaken in experienced centers. When the procedure is performed after 9 weeks gestation, the risk of limb reduction is not greater than the risk in the general population. At present, chorionic villus sampling is the gold standard method for early fetal karyotyping; however, we anticipate that improvements in noninvasive prenatal testing methods, such as cell free fetal DNA testing, will reduce the need for invasive procedures in the near future.

Objectives: Dental plaque emits red fluorescence under a visible blue light near the ultra-violet end of the light spectrum. The fluorescence characteristics of each microorganism have been reported in several studies. The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in red fluorescence of oral microorganisms that is affected by blood in the culture media. Methods: The gram-positive Actinomyces naeslundii (AN, KCTC 5525) and Lactobacillus casei (LC, KCTC 3109) and gram negative Prevotella intermedia (PI, KCTC 3692) that are known to emit red fluorescence were used in this study. Each bacterium was activated in broth and cultivated in different agar media at $37^{\circ}C$ for 7 days. Tryptic soy agar with hemin and vitamin $K_3$ (TSA), TSA with sheep blood (TSAB), basal medium mucin (BMM) medium, and BMM with sheep blood (BMMB) were used in this study. Fluorescence due to bacterial growth was observed under 405-nm wavelength blue light using the quantitative light-induced fluorescence-digital (QLF-D) device. The red, green, and blue fluorescence values of colonies were obtained using image-analysis software and the red to green ratio (R/G value) and red to total RGB ratio (R/RGB value) were calculated for quantitative comparison. Results: The QLF-D images of the AN, LC, and PI colonies showed red fluorescence in all media, but the fluorescence of all bacteria was reduced in TSA and BMM media, compared with in TSAB and BMMB media. Both the R/G and the R/RGB values of all bacteria were significantly reduced in growth media without blood (P<0.001). Conclusions: Based on this in vitro study, it can be concluded that red fluorescence of oral bacteria can be affected by growth components, especially blood. Blood-containing medium could be a significant factor influencing red fluorescence of oral bacteria. It can be further hypothesized that bleeding in the oral cavity can increase the red fluorescence of dental plaque.

Hog cholera (HC) virus detection from the artificially infected pigs was made using fluoreescent antibody technique (FAT) and END method. It was observed that the swine origin virulent was detected in most of the organs tested at the early stage of the infection, while the tissue culture attenuated virus was detected only in blood (transitionally), lung, and tonsil.

In this case, Grant's Zebra which had been bred and exhibited in Farmland Zoological Garden for 4 years, died after treated dystocia. Result in autopsy, she had large hepatic abscess, and blood chemistry were increased G07, GPT and total billirubin. The microbiological culture with the hepatic abscess idetified the Streptococcus equi. It is diagnosed of hepatic abscess which was caused by Streptococcus equi infection.
