This study was conducted to examine the correlation among meals variety, obesity index, blood pressure, and lipid profiles of Korean adults. A total of 308 adults(men 124, women 184) measured the anthropometric characteristics, blood pressure, dietary intake using 24-hour recall method, and serum lipid profile. The average ages of the study subjects were 50.9 yrs in men and 51.4 yrs in women. The average height, weight and BMI were 166.3 cm, 68.4 kg, $24.7\;kg/cm^2$ in men and 154.3 cm, 59.8 kg, $25.0\;kg/cm^2$ in women, respectively. The numbers of food items in meal of men and women were 14.1, 15.9 for breakfast, 15.7, 15.9 for lunch, 14.7, 14.1 for dinner, respectively. The numbers of dish items in meal of men and women were 4.0, 4.3 for breakfast, 4.3, 4.3 for lunch, 4.2, 3.9 for dinner, respectively. The average blood pressure, total cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and atherogenic index were 126.6/76.0 mmHg, 181.0 mg/dL, 157.7 mg/dL, 40.9 mg/dL, 108.6 mg/dL, 3.5 in men and 123.2/73.6 mmHg, 185.0 mg/dL, 137.3 mg/dL, 44.8 mg/dL, 112.7 mg/dL, 3.2 in women, respectively. The total cholesterol was negatively correlated to the number of food item for lunch(p<0.05). Therefore, more systematic studies to investigate the meal variety roles of blood lipids in meals of adults were required.

Sodium amylosulfate(SAS) has been reported to be an effective substance to inactivate the anti-bacterial activity of blood in blood culture media. The advantage of the use of SAS over sodium polyanethol sulfonate(SPS) is that it does not inhibit the growth of some bacteria! species which are known to be inhibited by SPS. As to S. typhi, SPS is reported to enhance the growth, however the effect of SAS on this organism is not known as yet. Using 43 strains of S. typhi, isolated from clinical materials, the authors tried to determine the effect of SAS on this organism. The methods used for this study were : the SPS and SAS paper disk I sensitivity test, tests on the growth in trypticase soy broth(TSB) with SPS and with SAS, and experimental blood culture in SPS and SAS incorporated TSB. The following results were obtined. 1). S. typhi strains with the turbidity of No. 0.5 tube of MacFarland nepherometer were inoculated onto Mueller-Hinton plate and 1mg disk of SPS and SAS were applied. After 24-hour incubation, none of the 43 strains showed inhibition zone by SPS disk, but all of them showed zones by SAS disk with a mean zone diameter of 9.5mm(Table 1). 2) Inocula consisting of one to 54 viable counts of 37 strains were inoculated into three different media; TSB with 0.05% SPS, TSB with 0.05% SAS and TSB alone. After 24-hour incubation the mean of the optical densities of each medium were 0.483, 0.482 and 0.459 respectively, showing that SAS does not inhibit the growth of S. typhi. Moreover it was shown that there was no correlation between the amount of inocula and growth(Table 2 and Fig. 1). 3). Each set of media in 5 ml amounts consisting of one tube of TSB with 0.05% SPS, one tube of TSB with 0.05% SAS and two tubes of TSB were inoculated with 8, 64. 640 and 6400 viable counts of bacteria. Then 0.5 ml of fresh normal blood was added to all tubes except for one tube of TSB. Macroscopic observation after 24 hour incubation showed a heavy growth in all tubes except for the tube of TSB plus blood, which showed only a light growth in the tube of the heaviest inoculum. This result clearly demonstrates that the growth of S. typhi is inhibited by some antibacterial activities of fresh blood, which are counter acted by SPS and SAS(Table 3). Between SPS and SAS, there was no significant difference found(Table 4 and Fig. 2). With all these results it can be postulated that the addition of SAS into a rountine blood culture media may raise the positivity of S. typhi isolation and shorten the incubation period.

검사는 2010년부터 2017년까지 162,551 검체중 11,233 검체(6.9%)가 배양 양성이었으며, 이중 11,865 균주가 배양되었다. 배양된 균종 중 그람양성구균이 47.8%, 그람음성간균 38.8%, 그람양성간균 4.2%, 진균 6.8%, 혐기성균이 2.3%를 나타냈다. 배양결과를 성별로 비교하면 남성에서 분리된 균이 55.0% (2,732/4,969)로 여성에서 분리된 45.0% (2,237/4,969) 보다 많았다. 또한 연령별로는 70대가 28.7% (1,426/4,969)로 가장 많이 분리되었으며, 10대의 1.2% (62/4,969)와 많은 차이를 보였다. MRSA에 대한 내성률은 2016년 66.7%에서 2017년에는 46.8%로 많은 감소를 보였으며, E. faecium의 vancomycin 내성률은 35.0% (48/137)로 나타났다. 한편 장내세균에서 E. coli의 ESBL 양성률은 2010년 17.2%에서 2017년 28.8%로 증가하였으나, K. pneumoniae에서는 오히려 양성률이 감소하였다. P. aeruginosa의 MRPA는 11.8% (14/119), A. baumannii에서의 MRAB는 64.3% (161/252)로 높은 내성을 나타내었다. 혈액 검체에서 분리되는 미생물의 균종과 항균제 감수성 양상은 시기, 지역 및 대상환자 등에 따라 다르므로 병원균을 주기적으로 분석하고 이에 대한 항균제 감수성 정도의 변화양상을 파악하는 것이 병원에서 내성균의 감독과 조절에 큰 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.

In general, the blood cell culture is a common method for animal chromosome preparation. However, every animal and its cells have unique physiological characteristics and functions. Hence, it is very difficult to find the suitable method of chromosome preparation using animal lymphocyte culture. This study was carried out to fine the suitable method of chromosome preparation using lymphocytes cultures in mammalians and aves including cattle, rat, mouse and chicken. To seek the optimal method of lymphocyte culture in each animal, $2^3$ factorial experiment was designed. The design evaluated three main effects in culture duration, kinds of mitogen supplements and colcemid exposure time with two levels within each effect. The mitotic index and the score of chromosome morphology were analyzed. In results, the suitable methods of lymphocyte culture for chromosome preparation were 72 hours culture, pokeweed mitogen(PWM) supplement and 90 minutes of colcemid exposure in cattle, 72 hours culture, PWM supplement and 50 minutes of colcemid exposure in chicken, 96 hours culture, concanavalin A supplement and 90 minutes of colcemid exposure in rat, and 72 hours culture, PWM supplement and 50 minutes of colcemid exposure in mouse, respectively. In conclusion, kinds of mitogen, culture duration and colcemid exposure time significantly affected the mitotic index and chromosome morphology, in animal lymphocyte culture. The interaction effects between/among treatment factors were also statistically significant.

To establish the effective ways to prevent bovine mastitis, the study has been performed to investigate the attributable factors causing down-regulation of immune responses in mammary gland of non-lactating cows. Lymphocytes from peripheral blood and mammary gland secretions(MGS) were obtained from normal healthy cows and mastitic cows, respectively. Lymphoblastogenesis were investigated carefully by adding different concentrations of supernatants collected from pure-cultures of neutrophils seperated from peripheral blood and MGS, respectively. The results obtained are as follows ; 1. Lymphoblastogenesis activity stimulated by Con A, PWM and PHA were significantly reduced in MGS from mastitic cows. 2. Supernatants collected from pure-culture of neutrophils separated both from peripheral blood and MGS showed inhibitory effect on mitogenic lymphoblastogenesis. 3. Supernatants from mammary gland neutrophils have shown 7 times more inhibitory activity than those from peripheral blood and this inhibitory effect was increased in proportion to increasing concentrations of supernatants when those were added to lymphoblast cells in culture.

In this study, we assessed the effects of dietary supplementation with Ecklonia cava on blood glucose, lipid metabolism, and renal oxidative stress in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into a normal rat group fed on a control diet and diabetic rats fed on a control diet or supplemented with powder (15% w/w) or water extract of Ecklonia cava (2.5% w/w). Diabetes was induced by a single injection of STZ (60 mg/kg, ip) in citrate buffer. The animals were fed ad libitum with the experimental diet and water for 5 weeks. Dietary supplementation of Ecklonia cava powder and water extract was shown to reduce blood glucose levels in the diabetic rats, and the water extract was more effective than the powder. Dietary supplementation with Ecklonia cava also reduced LDL cholesterol and increased HDL-cholesterol levels in the diabetic rats. Renal glutathione S-transferase activity was increased in the diabetic rats as compared to the normal rats, but reverted to near control values as the result of dietary supplementation with Ecklonia cava. These results show that Eklonia cava exerts an anti-diabetic effect by improving blood glucose concentrations, LDL/HDL-cholesterol ratios, and antioxidative effects on the kidney in diabetic rats.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of brown rice and brown rice phytosterol on blood pressure and lipid levels in spontaneously hypertension rats (SHR). SHR were grouped according to blood pressure and fed either a control diet or experimental diets containing 50% brown rice powder or 5% brown rice phytosterol for 3 weeks. Body weight gain and epididymal fat weight were significantly reduced in the brown rice powder and brown rice phytosterol groups compared to control. Brown rice and brown rice phytosterol diets suppressed age-dependent increases in systolic blood pressure compared to control. In addition, brown rice and brown rice phytosterol diets decreased total lipid, triglyceride, and cholesterol levels in the liver, whereas serum HDL cholesterol increased. Lastly, brown rice phytosterol reduced TBARS contents in the kidney. These results suggest that brown rice and brown rice phytosterol exert antihypertensive effects that improve lipid metabolism in SHR.
