This study was conducted to establish an HPLC analysis method for determination of marker compounds as part of materials standardization for development of health functional food materials from pear pomace. The quantitative determination method of caffeic acid and chlorogenic acid as marker compounds of pear pomace extract (PPE) was optimized by HPLC analysis using a C18 column ($5{\times}250mm$, $5{\mu}m$) with a 0.2% elution gradient of acetic acid and methanol as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.8 mL/min and detection wavelength of 330 nm. The HPLC/UV method was applied successfully to the quantification of marker compounds in PPE after validation of the method with linearity, accuracy, and precision. The method showed high linearity of the calibration curve with a coefficient of correlation ($R^2$) of 0.9999, and limit of detection and limit of quantification were $1.14{\mu}g/mL$ (caffeic acid) and $1.61{\mu}g/mL$ (chlorogenic acid) as well as $4.9{\mu}g/mL$ (caffeic acid) and $4.9{\mu}g/mL$ (chlorogenic acid), respectively. Relative standard deviation values from intra- and inter-day precision were less than 3.1% (caffeic acid) and 4.0% (chlorogenic acid), respectively. Recovery rates of caffeic acid and chlorogenic acid at 12.5, 25, and $50{\mu}g/mL$ were 93.66~106.32% and 97.33~105.68%, respectively. An optimized method for extraction of caffeic acid and chlorogenic acid in PPE was established through diverse extraction conditions, and the validation indicated that the method is very useful for evaluation of marker compounds in PPE to develop a health functional food material.

To obtain the basic data of prognosis of acute carbon monoxide(CO) intoxication, one hundred and sixteen cases of CO intoxication defined by carboxyhemoglobin(COHb) and admitted via emergency room of Yeungnam University Hospital from Oct. '85 to April' 89 have been clinically analyzed and evaluated, including delayed postanoxic encephalopathy(DPE) and the following results were obtained. 1. The ratio of male to female was 1:1.5 and mental state was drowsy mostly(26.2% of 116 cases) 2. The more disturbed the mental state, the more decreased was the arterial pH and $PaCO_2$, which may be the result of metabolic acidosis. 3. The early laboratory findings in patients of CO intoxication were as follows : leukocytosis-65.5%, increase of hematocrit-23.3%, hyperglycemia-19.8%, increase of GPT-19.8% increase of creatinine-0.9%, and glucosuria-12.1%. 4. The early findings of EKG were abnormal in 35.3% : change of rhythm-25.0%, abnormal ST segment-15.5% (change of rhythm and abonormal ST segment-5.2%) but the conduction disorder was not present. 5. The abnormal EEG above mild degree was 93.1%, of which moderate was most frequent(80.2%). 6. The incidence of DPE was 7.8% among all admitted CO patients. DPE cases had long duration of exposure time(8 hours), severe leukocytosis(20,000) and an abnormal EEG(MA).

Length and weight relationship (LWR) for dominant Antarctic fishes was determined in two species of the family Nototheniidae; black rockcod (Notothenia coriiceps) and marbled rockcod (Notothenia rossii). Samples were caught in the offshore sea around King Sejong station located on King George Island, Antarctica in January, 2017. A total of 30 N. coriiceps and 7 N. rossii were caught by fishing rod and hook. Average total length was 266.0 mm for N. coriiceps and 275.4 mm for N. rossii. Average total weight was 283.1g for N. coriiceps and 290 g for N. rossii. In terms of LWR and b value, the results showed that both two species had positive allometries (b>3) in good health. This size information of two dominant Antarctic fishes would be useful for future physiological studies to understand of adaptation mechanism and biological pathway of Antarctic marine organisms.

This study attempts to explore and describe the public's image on social welfare professionals in the comparison with other helping professionals. Using a sample (n=1,156) collected from high school students, college students, and citizens, this study comparatively examines the public's image on five helping professionals such as social welfare professionals, psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, nurses, and pastoral counselors. In measuring the public's image, this study uses a semantic differential scale that is composed of 16 pairs of adjective words. In overall, among five helping professionals, social welfare professionals is the most positively recognized; thus, its total score is the highest. By using correspondence analysis, social welfare professionals belong to the second quadrant that includes "practical" and "comfortable". As have discussed in the previous research, however, the analysis reveals that social welfare professionals' expertise is not highly evaluated. On the other hand, ANOVA shows that unlike statistically significant differences between social welfare professionals and other helping professionals, there is no statistically significant difference between social welfare professionals and clinical psychologists. Finally, MANOVA shows that except for gender social demographic variables do not make any differences in the public's image on social welfare professionals. In conclusion, this study discusses diverse directions and measures to strengthen social welfare professionals' competencies including expertise and promote the public's image social welfare professionals.

Seasonal changes in biochemical composition of muscle, gonad-viceral, mass and whole body of the cultured ark shell, Scapharca broughtonii in the Gamag bay of Yeosu city were studied from December 2008 to November 2009 in relation to environmental condition and reproductive cycles. Average monthly water temperature in the winter was in the range of $7-12^{\circ}C$ and $20-25^{\circ}C$ in the summer, while the salinity fluctuated in the range of 30.1%-33.8‰ on the average. Seasonal fluctuation of the concentration of nutrient salt was the highest in September ($13.04{\mu}g/L$) with average annual concentration of $4.6{\mu}g/L$. The main spawning season of the ark shell was during the months of July and August, and the gonads were in inactive stage during the winter. The gonad-visceral mass contained lower amounts of proteins than the other body parts. The most marked changes in body composition were lipids and carbohydrates within the gonad-visceral mass, and protein for each of the organs was relatively consistent throughout the year. All the parts in the visceral sac displayed the highest changes during the gametogenic cycle while the contents of moisture and lipid within the visceral act displayed somewhat inverse relations with each other. Moisture content was the lowest during the inactive stage during which the lipid content is the highest. The lipid content was the lowest immediately following spawning with increase in the moisture content as the lipid is being consumed. Protein mass within the visceral sac was low in comparison to the muscle mass. It is deemed that carbohydrates, lipids and proteins in the visceral sac play the major role as the source of energy during the development process of the gonads, and used for maintenance of base metabolism when available food is scarce.

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of feeding of different organic diets (based on fatty acid contents) on CLA and fatty acid concentration of raw milk. Total two hundred and ninety Holstein cows were divided into control, treatment 1 and treatment 2 groups according to the parity and milk yield. Control diet was contained higher C16:00, C18:2 and SFA. Treatment 1 diet was higher in C18:1, C18:2, UFA and treatment 2 diet was higher in MUFA and C18:3 and PUFA. The results indicated that the C16:0 concentration in raw milk was greater in the group of treatment 2 than in control and treatment 1 (p<0.05). The concentration of CLA in treatment 2 was higher compared to treatment 1 and control groups (p<0.05). The ration of n-3/n-6 was higher in treatment 2 group compared with control and treatment 1 (p<0.05). In conclusion, feeding 100% of grass feed for dairy cows increases CLA and n-3 content in milk. From now on, basis on our study, development of functional milk will increase a health of children and old people.

A simplified mathematical model to estimate changes in total acidity of Chinese cabbage kimchi during fermentation was developed as a function of temperature and salt concentration. Assuming that tolerable acceptability reached at 0.75% total acidity, the shelf-life of kimchi was predicted by the model. The predicted value was in good agreement with the actual shelf-life measured by organoleptic tests.
