Dehydrins (DHNs) compose a family of intrinsically unstructured proteins that have high water solubility and accumulate during late seed development at low temperature or in water-deficit conditions. They are believed to play a protective role in freezing and drought-tolerance in plants. A full-length cDNA encoding DHN (designated as ClDhn) was isolated from an oriental medicinal plant Codonopsis lanceolata, which has been used widely in Asia for its anticancer and anti-inflammatory properties. The full-length cDNA of ClDhn was 813 bp and contained a 477 bp open reading frame (ORF) encoding a polypeptide of 159 amino acids. Deduced ClDhn protein had high similarities with other plant DHNs. RT-PCR analysis showed that different abiotic stresses such as salt, wounding, chilling and light, triggered a significant induction of ClDhn at different time points within 4-48 hrs post-treatment. This study revealed that ClDhn assisted C. lanceolata in becoming resistant to dehydration.

Purpose: This study compared the effects of forced air warming and radiant heating on body temperature and shivering of patients with postoperative hypothermia. Methods: The quasi-experimental study was conducted with two experimental groups who had surgery under general anesthesia; 20 patients of group 1 experimented with the Bair Hugger as a forced air warming and 20 patients of group 2 experimented with the Radiant heater. The study was performed from July 3 to August 31, 2006 in a recovery room of an university hospital in a city. The effects of the experiment were measured by postoperative body temperature and chilling score at arrival and after every 10 minutes. The data were analyzed by t-test or ${\chi}^2$-test, repeated measures ANCOVA using SPSS/WIN 12.0. Results: The mean body temperature showed differences between the Bair Hugger group and Radiant Heater group at 40 minutes(F=-2.579, p=.034), 50minutes(F=-2.752, p=.027), and 60 minutes(F=-2.470, p=.047) after arrival to the recovery room. So, hypothesis 1 was partially accepted. The mean score of shivering showed differences between the Bair Hugger group and the Radiant Heater group, but it had no significant meaning. Hypothesis 2 was not accepted. Conclusion: We need more study to explore the effects and side effects of heating modalities to select a more effective heat treatment. The efficiency of heat modalities with regards to cost benefit, time consumption, and patients' discomfort such as burns should be considered.

Malate dehydrogenase is a ubiquitous enzyme in plants, involving in a range of metabolic processes depending on its subcellular location. A malate dehydrogenase (PgMDH) cDNA was isolated and characterized from the root of Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer. The deduced amino acid sequence of PgMDH showed high similarity with the NAD-dependent mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase from Glycinemax (P17783), Eucalyptus gunnii (P46487), and Lycopersicon esculentum (AAU29198). And the segment of a malate dehydrogenase gene was amplified through RT-PCR. The expression of PgMDH was increased after treatments of chilling, salt, UV, cadmium or copper treatment.

Purpose: In postpartum period, women are very weak and liable to various diseases. So postpartum care is very important. But excessive heating and sweating cause postpartum diseases. Methods: The patient in this case, 37 years-old female was in Kyunghee University East-West neo medical center for 8days(27th/Oct/2006 - 3rd/Nov/2006). Her chief complains when she was admitted in the hospital were sweating, chilling, and mild dizziness. These symptoms were caused by excessive heating and sweating. We thought that her condition was deficiency of Qi. After giving her the therapies with herb medicine, acupuncture and moxibustion, her symptoms got almost disappeared and her condition got better. Results: After the oriental medical treatment, the clinical symptom of postpartum disease was improved. Conclusion: This case study shows that excessive heating and sweating cause postpartum diseases and the oriental medical therapy is effective in treating postpartum disease. And the guideline of postpartum care is needed.

In order to secure practising rapid pattern(證, zheng) differentiation against acute infectious diseases like corona virus disease-19(COVID-19) showing rapid variation and contagion, a simplified classification of stages centering on the exterior-interior pattern identification with 2 step-subdivision by cold, heat, deficiency, excess pattern and pathogens is proposed. Pattern differentiation by compound patterns of 8 principles is made for the non-severe stage of general cold and the early mild stage of epidemic disease. Compound pattern's names of 8 principles about external infectious diseases are composed of three stages, that is disease site-characters-etiology. Based on early stage symptoms of fever or chilling etc., exterior, interior and half exterior and half interior patterns are determined first, and then cold, heat, deficiency, excess patterns of exterior and interior pattern respectively are determined, and then more concrete differentiation on pathogens of wind, dryness, dampness and dearth of qi, blood, yin, yang accompanied with constitutional and personal illness factors. Summarizing above descriptions, 4 patterns of exterior cold, exterior heat, exterior deficiency, exterior excess and their secondary compound patterns of exterior cold deficiency and exterior cold excess and so on are classified together with treatment method and available decoction for a standard measure of eight principle pattern differentiation.

Choline chloride-glycerol (1:2 mol), a natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES) is examined as a draw solution in forward osmosis (FO) for dewatering application. The NADES is easy to prepare, low in toxicity and environmentally benign. A polyamide thin film composite membrane was used. Characterization of the membrane confirmed porous membrane structure with good hydrophilicity and a low structural parameter (722 ㎛) suitable for FO application. A dilute solution of 20% (v/v) NADES was enough to generate moderate water flux (14.98 L m^-2h^-1) with relatively low reverse solute flux (0.125 g m^-2h^-1) with deionized water feed. Application in dewatering industrial wastewater feed showed reasonably good water flux (11.9 L m^-2h^-1) which could be maintained by controlling the external concentration polarization and fouling/scaling mitigation via simple periodic deionized water wash. In another application, clarified sugarcane juice could be successfully concentrated. Recovery of the draw solute was accomplished easily by chilling utilizing thermo responsive phase transition property of NADES. This study established that low concentration NADES can be a viable alternative as a draw solute for dewatering of wastewater and other heat sensitive applications along with a simple recovery process.

본 연구는 황토광물 중 대표적인 광물인 illite를 첨가한 사료의 급여가 돈육질에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 illite 첨가사료를 급여한 돼지(시험구)와 일반사료를 급여한 돼지(대조구)를 도축하고, 24시간 냉각 후 등식육을 시료로 취하여 4℃ 냉장실에서 7일간 저장하면서 이화학적 특성 및 관능평가를 실시하여 최종육질을 조사하였다. 최종 pH는 대조구가 pH 5.58이었고 시험구가 pH 5.60로 나타나 모두 정상범위의 pH를 보였으며, 두 처리구 사이에 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 압착법에 의하여 측정된 보수력은 시험구가 대조구보다 다소 높게 나타났으나 유의적인 차이는 없었으며, 가열감량은 시험구가 대조구보다 다소 낮게 나타났다(p〈0.05). 도축 24시간 후와 7일간 저장 후 측정된 전단력은 대조구와 시험구 사이에 뚜렷한 차이가 없었으며, 육색측정 결과 L*-값과 a*-값은 시험구와 대조구 사이에 유의적인 차이가 없었으나, b*-값은 시험구가 대조구보다 유의적으로 낮은 값을 나타내었다(p〈0.05). 4℃에서 저장하는 동안 발생한 드립감량은 3일까지는 시험구가 대조구에 비하여 감량이 적은 것으로 나타났으나, 그 이후에는 유의적인 차이가 없었다. NPPC 육질평가 기준표에 의하여 평가한 육색은 대조구와 시험구가 대조구에 비하여 유의적으로 높은 것으로 나타났다. (p〈0.05). 조기가열육의 풍미, 맛, 연도는 대조구와 시험구사이에 큰 칭가 없었으나, 다즙성은 시험구가 대조구에 비하여 다소 우수한 것으로 나타났다.(p〈0.05).

본 시험은 왜성대목, 품종 및 저온에 따른 사과나무의 내동성을 조사하고자 실시하였다. 왜성대목은 M.9와 M.26이었고, 조사품종은 조생종인 '쓰가루', 중생종인 '홍로', 만생종인 '후지'였다. 저온처리는 $0^{\circ}C$부터 $-40^{\circ}C$ 사이였다. 조사부위는 대목, 원줄기, 측지, 꽃눈 및 잎눈이었다. 조사항목은 수분손실률, 전해질 누출률 및 발아율이었다. 결과를 살펴보면, 왜성대목에 따른 수분손실률, 전해질 누출률 및 발아율의 차이는 없었다. '후지'의 수분손실률은 '쓰가루' 및 '홍로'보다 낮았으나, 발아율은 '후지'가 '쓰가루' 및 '홍로'보다 높았다. 처리온도별 수분손실률과 전해질 누출률은 처리온도가 낮을수록 증가하였으나, 발아율은 반대로 감소하는 경향이 있었다. $-35^{\circ}C$ 처리에서 대목과 원줄기부위의 발아율은 측지부위보다 높았으며, 꽃눈의 발아율은 잎눈보다 낮았다. $-10^{\circ}C$에서의 경과일수에 따른 과대지의 발아율은 28일에 100%되었다가 35일에 50%정도로 급격하게 낮아졌다. 결론적으로, M.9과 M.26의 내동성 차이는 없었으나, 만생종의 내동성은 조, 중생종보다 큰 경향이 있었다. 꽃눈의 내동성은 $-30^{\circ}C$이하에서 급격하게 약해졌다.
