Objectives : The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of Daeganghwal-tang on knee cartilage in monosodium iodoacetate(MIA)-induced osteoarthritis rats. Methods : Forty SD rats were randomly divided into five groups(n=8/group): normal group was SD rats group injected with normal saline at left knee joint and administrated orally distilled water, control group was MIA-induced osteoarthritis SD rats group administrated orally distilled water, Indomethacin group was MIA-induced osteoarthritis SD rats group administrated orally indomethacin 2 mg/kg, DGHT(L) group was MIA-induced osteoarthritis SD rats group administrated orally 1280 mg/kg of Daeganghwal-tang, and DGHT(H) group was MIA-induced osteoarthritis SD rats group administrated orally 2560 mg/kg of Daeganghwal-tang. After orally administration of drugs for 4 weeks, gross appearance and histological analysis were used to evaluate the degree of knee cartilage damage. In addition, pro-inflammatory cytokines, bone degrade factor and bone defence factors were analyzed to investigate the anti-inflammatory and cartilage protection effects of Daeganghwal-tang. Also, hematological test, biochemical test, and liver and kidney tissue were analyzed to determine the safety of Daeganghwal-tang. Results : Daeganghwal-tang inhibited the damage of the knee cartilage, and significantly prevented the reduction in cartilage thickness. In addition, the pro-inflammatory cytokines and the bone degrade factor significantly decreased, and the bone defence factors significantly increased. In the safety assessment of Daeganghwal-tang, there were no significant differences among the experimental groups and no abnormal findings were observed. Conclusions : Daeganghwal-tang has anti-inflammatory effect, inhibits cartilage damage, and protects cartilage in MIA-induced osteoarthritis rats.

High-Resolution thoracic CT (HRCT) is a scanning protocol in which thin slice thickness and sharpness algorithm are utilized to enhance image resolution for diagnosis and assessment of interstitial lung disease (ILD). This examination is sometimes performed in both supine and prone position to improve sensitivity to early changes of these conditions. Anatomical structures (the size of lung field and heart and descending aorta) of 150 patients who underwent HRCT were retrospectively compared. HRCT had been conducted in two positions (supine and prone). Data were divided into five groups according to patient body weights (from 40 to more than 80kg, 10kg intervals, 60 patients/each group). Quantitative analysis was utilized in Image J program. In the supine position defined as the control group, the average values of lung fields and heart size and aorta were compared with the prone position defined as the experimental group. The size of the lungs was found to be higher in the supine position, and it was confirmed that there was a statistically significant difference in patients over 70 kg (p<0.05). In addition, both sizes of the heart and descending aorta were larger in prone position, but in the case of the heart, there was no correlation with the presence or absence of ILD disease (p>0.05). Also, the area of prone in the descending aorta was higher than supine position, but there was no statistically significant difference between supine and prone position (p>0.05). In conclusion, when the severity of ILD disease was severe, there was no statistically significant difference in the area difference between supine and prone position, so it is considered that it will be helpful in diagnostic decision.

Objective: Pregnant Nelore heifers (n = 417) were used to evaluate the effects of supplementation with monensin-molasses multinutrient block (B) during pre and/or postpartum on reproductive and progeny performance. Methods: Heifers were allocated in four treatments: i) CC: heifers received control supplement (C) in loose meal form (0.06% of body weight [BW] offered daily before and after parturition; n = 108); ii) CB: received C before parturition and B (0.07% of BW offered weekly after parturition; n = 117); iii) BC: received B before and C after parturition (n = 103) and iv) BB: received B before and after parturition (n = 89). During pre and postpartum periods, concentration of metabolites/hormones and cow/calf performance was evaluated over time. Cows were synchronized twice for fixed timed artificial insemination (FTAI) using an estradiol/progesterone-based protocol. Data was analyzed by orthogonal contrasts (C). Results: B increased pregnancy at first FTAI (p = 0.04) and overall pregnancy rate (C1: CC vs BB+BC+CB; p = 0.05). Supplemented cows had greater body condition score (BCS) only at parturition (D0; p = 0.04) and at D40 (p = 0.02). B increased BW (p = 0.03), glucose concentrations (p = 0.01) and subcutaneous fat thickness (p = 0.03) only at D40. Concentrations of insulin were higher in supplemented cows (p = 0.008). Calves born by cows supplemented before and after parturition (C2: BB vs BC+CB) were heavier at 80 (p<0.001), 120 (p<0.001), 170 (p = 0.002) and 210 (p = 0.02) days old. Conclusion: Regardless of period of treatment, block supplementation increased pregnancy at first FTAI and overall pregnancy rate. Additionality, block supplementation during both pre and postpartum periods improved progeny weight until weaning. Block supplementation can be a tool to optimize fertility and calf performance in Nelore primiparous cows.

저수지 제방의 침투제어를 목적으로 설치하는 감압정의 성능은 감압정의 직경, 간격, 관통율, 지반의 투수계수, 기초지반 지층의 두께 등 다양한 변수에 의해 영향을 받는다. 따라서 침투수압 경감을 목적으로 감압정을 채택하는 경우 이러한 매개변수를 충분히 검토하여 감압정의 설치제원을 결정해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 저수지 제방의 침투제어를 위한 대책공법으로 제방의 하류부에 감압정과 제방의 상·하류부에 토목섬유 블랭킷(이하 블랭킷)을 병행하여 설치하는 경우 블랭킷의 길이가 감압정의 성능에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 상·하류 블랭킷 길이-유량 관계에서 상류 블랭킷의 길이가 증가할수록 감압정에서 배출되는 유량은 감소하며, 하류 블랭킷의 길이가 증가할수록 감압정의 배출 유량은 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 상·하류 블랭킷 길이-간격 관계에서 상류 블랭킷의 길이가 증가할수록 감압정의 간격은 증가하며, 하류 블랭킷의 길이가 증가할수록 감압정의 간격은 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 블랭킷과 감압정을 병행하여 설치함으로써 댐제방의 침투안정성을 확보하고자 하는 경우 침투유량의 배출을 최소화하고 감압정의 간격 확대를 통한 경제성 확보를 위해서는 상류의 블랭킷 길이 증가가 하류의 블랭킷 길이 증가보다 더 효율적인 것으로 나타났다.

Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of β-glucan with vitamin E supplementation on the physiological response, litter performance, blood profiles, immune response, and milk composition of lactating sows. Methods: A total of 50 multiparous F₁ sows (Yorkshire×Landrace) with an average body weight (BW) of 233.6±4.30 kg and an average parity of 4.00±0.307 and their litters were used in this experiment. All sows were allotted to one of five treatments, taking into consideration BW, backfat thickness, and parity in a completely randomized design with 10 replicates. The experimental diets included a corn-soybean meal-based basal diet with or without 0.1% or 0.2% β-glucan and 110 IU vitamin E/kg diet. Results: All treatments added with β-glucan or vitamin E were statistically higher in the average daily feed intake (ADFI) of lactating sows compared to those of the control (Diet, p<0.01). Additionally, the ADFI of lactating sows was significantly higher in the groups supplemented with 0.1% β-glucan compared to 0.2% β-glucan (BG, p<0.01). There was an increasing trend in piglet weight at weaning (BG, p = 0.07), litter weight at the 21st day of lactation (BG, p = 0.07) and litter weight gain (BG, p = 0.08) in groups supplemented with 0.1% β-glucan. The addition of 110 IU vitamin E/kg diet increased vitamin E concentration significantly in lactating sows (VE, p<0.01) and exhibited a trend for higher concentrations of vitamin E (VE, p = 0.09) in piglets. Adding 0.1% β-glucan compared to 0.2% β-glucan induced a decrease in the concentration of tumor necrosis factor-α in lactating sows (BG, p = 0.06) and in piglets (BG, p = 0.09) on the 21st day of lactation. There were no significant differences in the milk composition of sows. Conclusion: Adding 0.1% β-glucan and 110 IU vitamin E/kg to a lactating sow's diet was beneficial to the growth performance of piglets by leading to an increase in the feed intake of sows and efficiently supplying vitamin E to both the sows and piglets.

Earthing, caused by direct skin contact with the Earth's surface, is used to reduce the symptoms of inflammation (fever, fever, swelling and pain). However, there is little evidence to support the anti-inflammatory effects of earthing mattresses. Therefore, this study was conducted to investigate whether anti-inflammatory effect of earthing mattress using an in vivo animal model. The anti - inflammatory effect was evaluated by measuring ear thickness and foot volume in 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13 acetate (TPA) - induced ear edema and carrageenan - induced paw edema model, respectively. Balb/c mouse in carrageenan paw edema model showed significant anti - inflammatory effect in the group treated with earthing mattress for 4 hours or 24 hours for 3 days. For females, the anti-inflammatory effect was greater when the earthing mattress was added to the mattress than the mattress alone treatment. From the above results, it was found that the female responds more to the effect of the earthing as well as the mattress effect. In addition, when the male and female Balb/c mice were exposed to mattresses and earthing mattresses for 24 h for 3 days, respectively, the mattress and earthing mattresses showed significant inhibition of IL (Interleukin)-1β levels compared to the control. In the TPA ear edema model, Balb/c mouse showed significant anti - inflammatory effect in the group treated with the earthing mattress for 4 hours or 24 hours for 3 days. Both males and females showed more anti-inflammatory effects when they were exposed to earthing mattresses with mattresses added to the mattresses. From the above results, it was found that both male and female respond to the effect of earthing as well as the mattress effect in the TPA ear edema model. In conclusion, in this study, we have verified that earthing mattress shows inhibitory effects on TPA and carrageenan-induced inflammation. From these results, it is suggested that the anti-inflammatory effect can be expected by applying the earthing mattress to patients suffering from inflammatory diseases. However, there is a need to pinpoint exactly how the earthing mattress relieves inflammation, and further research is needed to investigate the mechanism.

벼 기계이항답에서 후기의 도복을 경감시켜 농작업의 효율성을 높이고 수량손실을 방지하기 위하여 개발중인 도복경감제 'KIM-112'의 효과를 검토하고자 처리시기 및 약량을 달리하여 수행한 시험결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. KIM-112의 출수전 30일-5일 처리는 간장을 크게 단축시켰는데 10a당 1g 처리에서는 처리시기에 따라 10-17%, 2g 처리에서는 16-23%의 간장단축효과가 있었다. 2. 절간장 단축정도는 처리시기에 따라 다르게 나타났는데 출수전 30일 처리에서는 5절간이 약 50%정도 단축되었으며 처리시기가 늦어질수록 상위절간의 단축이 커지는 경향이었고, 약량별로는 2g 처리가 다소 높았다. 3. 간장과 도복지수와는 간장이 길어질수록 도복지수가 높아지는 정의 관계가 있었으며, 특히 1절간장과 4절간장이 도복지수에 크게 영향을 미쳤다. 4. KIM-112는 간벽 간경 간기중 등의 도복형질에는 영향을 미치지 않았고, 좌절중의 증대와 간장단축에 따른 moment의 감소로 내도복성을 향상시켰으며, 도복지수는 좌절중 moment 이삭중과 높은 상관이 있었다. 5. 약제처리시기와 약량에 따라 출수가 1-4일 지연되었으며, 수장이 짧아짐에 따라 수당립수가 다소 적었으나 도복이 되지 않아 등숙율의 향상으로 수량은 약간 증수되었다.

본 연구에서는 사료 중 비타민 C(200 mg/kg)와 비타민 E(250 mg/kg)의 첨가가 heat stress하 육용종계의 난각 품질에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 83주령의 강제환우된 Ross 육용종계 160수를 공시하여 4처리 4반복 그리고 반복당 10수를 무작위로 개별 케이지에 수용하였다. 4처리구 중 대조구는 비타민 C와 E를 추가로 첨가하지 않았으며 시험구는 비타민 C 처리구, 비타민 E 처리구, 그리고 비타민 C/E 동시 처리구로 하였다. 실온 25 $^{\circ}C$에서 10일간의 적응기간 후에 32 $^{\circ}C$에서 3주간 실험하였다. 실험기간 중 산란율은 급속히 떨어졌으나 처리구간에 유의한 차이가 없었으나 난중, 비중, 난각두께, SWUSA, pucture force와 난각 파괴강도에서는 비타민 C/E 처리구가 대조구에 비해 유의하게 높았다(P<0.05). 비타민 C 처리구는 경골 파괴강도에서 37.16 kg으로 대조구 및 비타민 E 처리구에 비해 통계적으로 유의하게 높았다(P<0.05).한편, 혈중 corticosterone 수준(5.97 ng/ml)은 대조구가 다른 시험구들보다 유의하게 높았다(P<0.05). Heat stress는 백혈구 중 heterophil의 비율을 높이고 lymphocyte의 비율은 낮추어 H/L ratio를 변화시켰다. 시험구의 H/L ratio는 대조구보다 낮았으나 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 결론적으로 사료 중 비타민 C(200 mg/kg)와 비타민 E(250 mg/kg)의 첨가는 육용종계에서 heat stress에 의한 영향을 경감하여 난각품질 및 경골강도의 약화를 방지한다고 할 수 있겠다.

To investigate and evaluate the seismic damage behaviors of steel reinforced recycled concrete (SRRC) filled circular steel tube composite columns, in this study, the cyclic loading tests of 11 composite columns was carried out by using the load-displacement joint control method. The seismic damage process, hysteretic curves and performance indexes of composite columns were observed and obtained. The effects of replacement rates of recycled coarse aggregate (RCA), diameter thickness ratio, axial compression ratio, profile steel ratio and section form of profile steel on the seismic damage behaviors of composite columns were also analyzed in detail. The results show that the failure model of columns is a typical bending failure under the combined action of horizontal loads and vertical loads, and the columns have good energy dissipation capacity and ductility. In addition, the replacement rates of RCA have a certain adverse effect on the seismic bearing capacity, energy consumption and ductility of columns. The seismic damage characteristics of composite columns are revealed according to the failure modes and hysteretic curves. A modified Park-Ang seismic damage model based on the maximum displacement and cumulative energy consumption was proposed, which can consider the adverse effect of RAC on the seismic damage of columns. On this basis, the performance levels of composite columns are divided into five categories, The interlayer displacement angle and damage index are used as the damage quantitative indicators of composite columns, and the displacement angle limits of composite columns at different performance levels under 80% assurance rate are calculated as 1/105, 1/85, 1/65, 1/28, and 1/25 respectively. On this basis, the damage index limits corresponding to each performance level are calculated as 0.045, 0.1, 0.48, 0.8, and 1.0 respectively. Finally, the corresponding relations among the performance levels, damage degrees, interlayer displacement angles and damage indexes of composite columns are established. The conclusions can provide reference for the seismic design of SRRC filled circular steel tube composite columns, it fills the vacancy in the research on seismic damage of steel reinforced recycled concrete (SRRC) filled circular steel tube composite columns.
