The purpose of this study was to identify the risk factors related to prehypertension in Korean adults. The data were collected from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2018. The subjects of this study were 3,286 adults aged over 30 years of old. We analyzed risk factors of prehypertension using multiple logistic regression based on complex sample design. The prevalence of prehypertension was 60.8%. As the result, the risk of prehypertension in elderly, current smoking persons, overweight, obesity, hyperlipidemia in triglyceride and HDL cholesterol. And the risk of decreased in health check-up, aerobic physical activity. Therefore, in order to reduce the incidence of prehypertension, it is required to prepare interventions to prevent prehypertension through the adjustment of lifestyle for subjects with risk factors for developing prehypertension.

A lactic acid bacterium LP2 strain, which was previously isolated from a natural cheese, was confirmed to produce 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoic acid (DHNA), a bifidogenic growth factor. The strain was identified as Lactobacillus plantarum (99% identity) by a homology search of the 16S rRNA gene sequence and named Lactobacillus plantarum LP2. The culture supernatant of the strain presented an antimicrobial activity against Helicobacter pylori KCTC 12083, where the DHNA might have influenced on the activity.

These days, many people live a healthy life, but suffering caused by chronic diseases. The main factors of chronic diseases are stress, blood pressure and obesity. Chronic diseases which are caused by high blood pressure are very high incidence. Therefore, this paper suggests the ways to prevent as diagnosis a phenomenon that occur rising in blood pressure consistently by analyzing the voice according th rising in blood pressure. For this, I studied some influence on voicing through rising in blood pressure by applying pitch that measure vocal fold vibration and intensity that measure voice energy size that is one of technique. That collect and analyse the voice after rising blood pressure by aerobic exercise.

To find bacteria which can inhibit growth of enteropathogenic Clostridium perfringens ATCC 13124, spore forming butyric acid bacteria were isolated from 26 fecal samples of infants. Fourteen strains were found to be antagonistic to the enteropathogen and five of them produced butyric acid. A strain which produced the highest butyric acid was selected and identified as Clostridium butyricum. This organism sporulated in SM medium in 36 hours with optimum rates at 37$^{\circ}C$ and at pH 5.5. The spores tolerated well at high heat and acidity, and possible application of Clostridium butyricum as intestinal controller was discussed.

본 연구의 목적은 뇌졸중으로 인한 만성 편마비 환자를 대상으로 발에 시지각 자극을 적용하여 균형과 보행에 관한 운동기능에 미치는 효과를 알아보고자 하였다. 6개월 이상 된 편마비 환자 16명이 연구에 참여하였고, 무작위로 실험군(EG) 10명과 대조군(CG) 10명으로 구분하였다. 두 군 모두 기본적인 물리치료를 적용하였고 실험군은 정적균형도구인 Tetrax Multiple System을 이용하여 발목에 감각되먹임 시지각 자극을 매회 30분, 4주간 주 3회 실시하였다. 운동 중재 전과 후의 운동기능에 해당하는 균형(TUG), 보행(DGI)을 측적하여 본 연구의 효과를 비교하였다. 실험군에서 정적 균형, TUG, 그리고 동적 균형지수(DGI) 지수는 중재 전후 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 나타냈고(p<.05), 실험, 대조군간 전후의 변화율에서도 유의한 차이가 나타났다(p<.05). 대조군에서는 DGI 만 중재 전후 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 나타났다. 순수하게 유산소 운동만을 실시하였다. 통계처리 방법으로 전 후 차이를 검증하기 위하여 대응표본 t 검정을 실시하였고 대조군과의 차이 검증을 위하여 독립표본 t 검정을 실시하였다. 모든 통계적 유의수준은 0.05로 하였다. 본 연구에서는 편마비 환자에게 흥미를 촉진하고 운동 기능 회복의 효과를 강화할 수 있는 감각 되먹임이 동반된 시지각 자극을 적용하여 균형 및 보행기능의 향상을 얻을 수 있었고, 차후 연구는 장기간의 추적 관찰 연구가 지속되어야 하고 발목 뿐만 아니라 다른 관절에서의 비교연구가 필요할 것이다.

The behavior of continuous flow culture of Lartobacillus bulgricus was investigated by application of Monod's kinetic model. The parameters obtained from Monod's chemostat theory successfully predicted the behavior of the chemostat. Then, it was found that Monod's kinetics were applicable to the growth rate dependence on glucose concentration. Under steady-state condition, the maximum growth rate, saturation constant, and wash out were found to be 0.62/hr, 7.69 g/1, 0.51/hr of continuous culture. And the optimum condition for the highest cell production was 0.41/hr in dilution rate, and at that point the cell production rate was 0.178g/1 hr.

The broad-host plasmid PAM $\beta_1$ of Streptococcus faecalis DS 5 which codes for erythromycin resistance and lactose utilization was transferred into L. casei M-3 (lac-mutant) by conjugation, but was not transferred by protoplast fusion and protoplast transformation. For conjugal transfer of plasmid PAM $\beta_1$ the method of membrane filter mating was more efficient than that of agar surface mating. The rate of acid production of transconjugant C-1, C-3 was similar to L. casei YIT 9018. The proteolytic activity of transconjugant C-3 was increased 20% higher than that of wild type. Plasmid PAM $\beta_1$ was detected by a11 of the transconjugants. The transconjugants expressed lactose ulitization and erythromycin resistance.

Three strains of lactic acid bacteria were isolated from fish and shrimp pickles. Two strains were identified as Lactobacillus casei, and one strain as L. Pentosus, respectively. All three strains were used as starters in producing yogurts. The physico-chemical characteristics of yogurts were examined. The original pH, titratable acidity, visicosity and viable cell counts of the yogurts were $4.03{\sim}4.26,\;1.049{\sim}l.217%,\;1,772{\sim}2,232\;cps\;and\;1.4{\times}10^9{\sim}1.6{\times}10^9\;cfu/ml$, respectively. In evaluating buffer capacity, $12.50{\sim}14.06\;ml$ 1.0N HCl was consumed to titrate 100 ml of yogurt to pH value 2 units below the original pH value and $9.46{\sim}13.06\;ml$ of 1.0N NaOH was consumed to pH value 4 units above the original pH value. The ${\beta}-galactosidase$ activity reached maximum at 48 hrs, and reduced gradually during fermantation. After 2 hr incubation of yogurts at $37^{\circ}C$ under different pH conditions, ${\beta}-galactosidase$ activities of three strains were reduced to 50% at pH 3.5, but there were no remaining activities neither at pH 2.5 nor at pH 1.5. Under the same pH conditions the number of viable cells decreased to $1.9{\times}10^6{\sim}1.8{\times}10^8\;cfu/ml$ at pH 2.5 and $1.0{\times}10^3{\sim}2.4{\times}10^5$ at pH 1.5, respectively. However, no significant difference was found at pH 3.5.

Two experiments were conducted to observe the effects of direct fed microbials on metabolic characteristics in sheep and milking performance in dairy cows. A metabolic trial with four ruminally cannulated sheep(60±6kg) was conducted in a 4×4 Latin square design to investigate the supplementation effects of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Clostridium butyricum or mixed microbes of S. cerevisiae and C. butyricum on ruminal fermentation characteristics and whole tract digestibility. Sheep were fed 1.25 kg of total mixed ration(TMR, DM basis) supplemented with S. cerevisiae (2.5g/day), C. butyricum (1.0g/day) or its mixture(S. cerevisiae 1.25g/day+C. butyricum 1g/day), twice daily in an equal volume. But control sheep were fed only TMR. A feeding trial with 28 lactating Holstein cattle was also conducted for 12 weeks to investigate the effects of the same microbial supplements as for the metabolic trial on milking performance. The cows were fed the TMR(control), and fed S. cerevisiae(50g/day), C. butyricum(15g/day) or its mixture (S. cerevisiae 25g/day + C. butyricum 7.5g/day) with upper layer dressing method. Total VFA concentration and the digestibility of whole digestive tract in the sheep increased by supplementation of S. cerevisiae, C. butyricum or their combined microbials compare to control group. The proportion of propionic acid at 1h(P<0.039) and 3h(P<0.022) decreased by supplementation of S. cerevisiae while tended to increase acetic acid proportion at the same times. Daily dry matter intake(DMI) was not influenced by the microbial treatments, but milk yield(P<0.031) and feed efficiency(milk yield/DMI, P<0.043) were higher for the cow received C. butyricum than those for other treatments. The milk fat content was higher (P<0.085) when cows fed S. cerevisiae(4.11%) than that fed the control (4.08%), the diets with C. butyricum (3.85%) and the microbial mixture. Based on the results obtained from the current experiments, supplementation of C. butyricum or mixture with S. cerevisiae might be increased milk fat content and milk productivity of lactating daily cows.
