Objective : To compare the morphometry of subaxial cervical spine between cerebral palsy (CP) and normal control. Methods : We retrospectively analyzed 72 patients with CP, as well as 72 patients from normal population. The two groups were matched for age, sex, and body mass index. Pedicle, lateral mass (LM), and vertebral foramen were evaluated using computed tomography (CT) imaging. Pedicle diameter, LM height, thickness, width and vertebral foramen asymmetry (VFA) were measured and compared between the two groups. Cervical dynamic motion, disc and facet joint degeneration were investigated. Additionally, we compared the morphology of LM between convex side and concave side with cervical scoliotic CP patients. Results : LM height was smaller in CP group. LM thickness and width were larger in CP group at mid-cervical level. In 40 CP patients with cervical scoliosis, there were no height and width differences between convex and concave side. Pedicle outer diameter was not statistically different between two groups. Pedicle inner diameter was significantly smaller in CP group. Pedicle sclerosis was more frequent in CP patients. VFA was larger in CP group at C3, C4, and C5. Disc/facet degeneration grade was higher in the CP group. Cervical motion of CP group was smaller than those of the control group. Conclusion : LM morphology of CP patients was different from normal population. Sclerotic pedicles and vertebral foramen asymmetry were more commonly identified in CP patients. CP patients were more likely to demonstrate progressive disc/facet degeneration. This data may provide useful information on cervical posterior instrumentation in CP patients.

하수 슬러지를 펜톤 산화공정으로 처리하는 새로운 VFAs 생산 공정을 연구하였다. 과산화수소와 촉매인 $Fe^{2+}$의 적정농도를 실험하고, 최적 반응온도 및 반응시간에 대한 기초 자료를 얻고자 하였다. 기존의 과산화수소를 액상산화제로 사용한 공정보다 저농도의 $Fe^{2+}$를 촉매로 사용하는 펜톤 산화공정으로 과산화수소의 사용량을 대폭 감소시키고도 VFAs 생성량이 4배 정도 증가하는 결과를 얻었다. 과산화수소와 $Fe^{2+}$의 적정 농도는 각각 0.62 M과 0.007M 이었다. VFAs 생성반응은 초기 1분 이내에서 빠르게 진행되었으며 생성된 VFAs의 일부가 초산과 $CO_2$로 분해되는 연속반응의 특성이 나타났다. 경제성을 감안하면 반응온도는 $25^{\circ}C$, 반응시간은 10분 정도가 적절한 반응조건으로 생각된다. 초기 pH $3{\sim}6.3$에서 VFAs의 생성에 미치는 pH의 영향은 관찰되지 않았다.

A series of in vitro studies were carried out to determine i) the effects of enzyme and formaldehyde treatment on the degradation characteristics of carbohydrate and protein sources and on the synchronicity of these processes, and ii) the effects of synchronizing carbohydrate and protein supply on rumen fermentation and microbial protein synthesis (MPS) in in vitro experiments. Untreated corn (C) and enzyme-treated corn (EC) were combined with soy bean meal with (ES) and without (S) enzyme treatment or formaldehyde treatment (FS). Six experimental feeds (CS, CES, CFS, ECS, ECES and ECFS) with different synchrony indices were prepared. Highly synchronous diets had the greatest dry matter (DM) digestibility when untreated corn was used. However, the degree of synchronicity did not influence DM digestibility when EC was mixed with various soybean meals. At time points of 12 h and 24 h of incubation, EC-containing diets showed lower ammonia-N concentrations than those of C-containing diets, irrespective of the degree of synchronicity, indicating that more efficient utilization of ammonia-N for MPS was achieved by ruminal microorganisms when EC was offered as a carbohydrate source. Within C-containing treatments, the purine base concentration increased as the diets were more synchronized. This effect was not observed when EC was offered. There were significant effects on VFA concentration of both C and S treatments and their interactions. Similar to purine concentrations, total VFA production and individual VFA concentration in the groups containing EC as an energy source was higher than those of other groups (CS, CES and CFS). The results of the present study suggested that the availability of energy or the protein source are the most limiting factors for rumen fermentation and MPS, rather than the degree of synchronicity.

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary Biotite V (BV) supplementation on growth performance, nutrients digestibility and fecal noxious gas content in finishing pigs. In Exp. 1, a total of eighty pigs (initial body weight 88.0${\pm}$1.35 kg) were used in a 35-d growth trial. Pigs were blocked by weight and allotted to five dietary treatments in a randomized complete block design. There were four pigs per pen and four pens per treatment. Dietary treatments included: 1) Control (CON; basal diet), 2) 200 mesh BV1.0 (basal diet+200 mesh Biotite V 1.0%), 3) 325 mesh BV1.0 (basal diet+325 mesh Biotite V 1.0%), 4) 200 mesh BV2.0 (basal diet+200 mesh Biotite V 2.0%) and 5) 325 mesh BV2.0 (basal diet+325 mesh Biotite V 2.0%). Through the entire experimental period, there were no significant differences in ADG, ADFI and gain/feed among the treatments (p>0.05). With the addition of Biotite V in diet, DM and N digestibilities were increased significantly (p<0.01). Also, Ca and P digestibilities tended to increase in pigs fed Biotite V supplemented diet (p<0.01) compared to pigs fed control diet. Supplementation of Biotite V in diet reduced the fecal $NH_3-N$ and volatile fatty acid (VFA) compared to CON treatment (p<0.01). In Exp. 2, a total of sixty four pigs (initial body weight 84.0${\pm}$1.05 kg) were used in a 35-d growth trial. Pigs were blocked by weight and allotted to four dietary treatments in a randomized complete block design. There were four pigs per pen and four pens per treatment. Dietary treatments included: 1) LP (low protein diet), 2) HP (high protein diet), 3) LP+BV (low protein diet+325 mesh Biotite V 1.0%) and 4) HP+BV (high protein diet+325 mesh Biotite V 1.0%). Through the entire experimental period, ADG and gain/feed tended to increase in HP and HP+BV treatments, however, there were no significant differences (p>0.05) among the treatments. With the addition of Biotite V in diets, digestibilities of nutrients (DM, N, Ca and P) were increased significantly (p<0.01). The addition of Biotite V in diets reduced the ammonia emissions in feces (p<0.01). Supplementation of Biotite V in diets also reduced the fecal propionic acid, butyric acid and acetic acid (p<0.01) compared to pigs fed diets without Biotite V. In conclusion, supplementation of Biotite V can increase nutrients digestibility and reduce fecal $NH_3-N$ and volatile fatty acid (VFA) concentrations in finishing pigs.

본 연구는 산화제인 이산화염소 처리가 계분의 악취 저감에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위해 수행되었다. 실험 1과 2 모두 대조구(증류수 첨가), PC(potassium monopersulfate triple salt, 상업용 살균제 첨가), T2000(2,000 ppm ClO₂ 첨가), T3000(3,000 ppm ClO₂ 첨가)로 총 4개의 처리구로 구성되었다. 실험 1과 2 모두 계분을 함유한 가스백을 밀봉하여 수행되었으며 첨가수준은 동일하나 실험 1에서는 배양 10일 동안의 첨가량을 실험 시작 시 한 번에 투여하여 10일 동안 배양하였고, 실험 2에서는 배양 동안 매일 1 mL씩 투여하여 총 14일 동안 배양하였다. 배양 기간 중 가스를 포집하여 총 가스발생량과 악취를 유발하는 NH₃와 H₂S 가스를 측정하였다. 배양 종료 후에는 가스백을 개봉하여 DM, pH, ammonia-N, VFA, 계분 내 미생물(총 미생물 수, 유산균, 효모, 곰팡이, 대장균군)을 분석하였다. 계분 내 미생물 수는 실험 1에서는 대조구와 비교하여 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았으나, 실험 2의 T3000 처리구에서 대장균군의 수가 대조구보다 낮게 검출되었으며(P<0.05) 그 외 미생물 수는 대조구와 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 그러나 실험 1과 2에서 이산화염소 처리구가 대조구보다 pH, ammonia-N, VFA, 총 가스발생량, NH₃와 H₂S 가스의 농도 및 발생량이 유의적으로 낮게 나타났다(P<0.05). 이러한 결과는 이산화염소 처리 시 대장균군의 수는 감소하지 않았으나 대장균군의 비활성화 (실험 1) 또는 대장균군의 감소(실험 2)를 통한 악취 물질 생성 감소 및 산화로 인해 악취가 저감된 것으로 판단된다. 추가적으로, 실험 1과 실험 2의 결과를 종합하였을 때 ammonia-N, VFA, 총 가스발생량, NH₃와 H₂S 가스는 T2000에서 대조구보다 낮게 검출되었으며 T3000과는 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않은 점으로 판단하건대 T2000의 첨가수준도 악취저감에 효과적이라고 사료된다. 또한, 첨가제를 한번에 투여한 실험 1과 매일 투여한 실험 2는 배양 기간이 다르므로 직접 비교할 수는 없으나 투여방법에 따른 차이는 없는 것으로 추정된다.

Effects of sucrose supplement on the pattern of VFA production and microbial protein synthesis in the rumen were examined in sheep consuming basal diet of grass silage (2.5 kg fresh wt/d) that was provided in 24 equal meals each day by an automatic feeder. Four mature wethers were allocated to four experimental treatments in a 4${\times}$4 Latin square design with periods lasting 14 days. The treatments were (1) the basal diet, (2) supplemented with 150 g sucrose and 7.0 g urea, (3) 300 g sucrose and 13 g urea, and (4) 450 g sucrose and 20 g urea given as a continuous intraruminal infusion for 24 h. All infusions were given in 2 litres of aqueous solution per day using a peristaltic pump. The effect of sucrose level on rumen mean pH was significantly linear (p<0.01). There were not significant differences in the concentration of ammonia-N, total VFA and the molar proportions of acetate, propionate and butyrate with the level of sucrose infusion. The molar proportions of isobutyric acid (p<0.05) and isovaleric acid (p<0.001) were significantly reduced when the infused amount of sucrose was increased. The flow of microbial N was linearly (p<0.001) increased with sucrose and urea level. High levels of readily fermentable carbohydrate in a ration reduced the efficiency of microbial protein synthesis in the rumen. It was demonstrated that of the individual fatty acids, only the molar proportion of isovalerate showed a significant negative correlation (R2=$0.3501^{**}$) with the amount of microbial N produced and a significant positive correlation (R2=$0.2735^{**}$) with the efficiency of microbial growth.

마샬배합설계에서 얻어지는 안정도나 흐름은 혼합물의 역학적 특성을 제대로 반영하지 못하며 소성변형과의 상관성이 낮다. 그러므로 안정도나 흐름의 기준을 통과하는 배합으로 제조한 혼합물에서도 소성변형이 많이 발생된다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 국내에서 이용되는 마샬 방법과 미국의 수퍼페이브 방법으로 배합설계를 수행하여 각 방법의 혼합물 특성치의 차이점과 문제점을 확인하는데 있다. 이를 위하여 골재 세 종류, 한 종류의 아스팔트(AC 60-80), 두 종류의 골재 입도(19mm, 13mm)를 각각의 배합설계방법에 사용하여 총 12종류의 혼합물을 배합설계를 수행하여 최적아스팔트함량을 결정하였다. 이 결정된 최적아스팔트 함량으로 혼합물을 제조하여 특성치를 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과, 마샬 방법을 통해 결정된 아스팔트 함량이 수퍼페이브 방법에 의 한 함량보다 0.1$\sim$0.3% 포인트 정도 높게 나타났다. 이것은 마샬 방법이 수퍼페이브 방법보다 아스팔트 함량을 높게 결정되도록 골재입도가 주어졌기 때문인데 이것이 소성변형에 상대적으로 취약한 직접적인 원인이 되는지는 더 많은 연구가 필요할 것이다.

Three sheep fitted with cannulas in the rumen and the caecum were used in a $3{\times}3$ Latin square design to study the changes in ruminal and caecal microbial populations and their metabolite composition with ammoniated rice straw feeding. The 3 diets contained either 80% untreated rice straw (UTS) or ammoniated rice straw (ATS) and 20% formula feed. These were a control diet (C), a urea supplemented diet (U) containing urea at 1.1% and an ammoniated rice straw diet (AT). Data were analyzed by analysis of variance and means separated by the Student Neumann Kuel's multiple comparison. AT feeding increased ruminal bacterial counts, in particular cellulolytic bacterial counts (p < 0.05) which were 1.8, 2.4 and 7.0 (${\times}10^6/ml$ ruminal fluid) for C, U and AT, respectively. There was an increasing tendency (p < 0.10) in ruminal fungal population with U; values were 2.0, 5.2, 3.1 (${\times}10^3/ml$ ruminal fluid) for C, U and AT, respectively. Ruminal protozoa counts were not significantly (p > 0.05) altered with diets. Caecal total viable bacterial count with AT was about thrice the value with C. Total VFA concentration in the rumen was significantly increased (p < 0.025) (7.7 mmol/dl for C and 8.2 mmol/dl for AT) and correspondingly, pH lowered when AT was fed. Sheep on AT tended to produce less acetate and more butyrate in the rumen without significance (p > 0.05). Similar to the rumen, total VFA concentrations of 4.4, 3.8 and 5.2 mmol/dl were detected, respectively, for C, U and AT. Caecal ammonia-nitrogen concentrations were about six-fold of that in the rumen, though there were no differences (p > 0.05) among treatments.
