In order to investigate an endocrinological effect on metamorposis of the midgut in silkworm, Bombyx mori, 20-hydroxyecdysone and rude extract of brain (PTTH) were injected into pupal isolated abdomens, devoid of prothoracic glands and also in the brainless diapausing pupae with the prothoracic glands (so-called dauer pupae). When ecdysone was assayed abdomens, drastic morphological changes occurred in the midgut. The wet weights of midguts were found decrease as like the normal pupae at metamorphosis. Proteineous changes in epithelial midgut were also observed; pupal specific proteins (PSP) vanished while the adult proteins were newly synthesized. Similar results were also found in the changes of protein in the midgut of dauer pupae by injecting ecdysone and PTTH.

Careful preparation for a start-up can lower the risk of failure and create a successful business model. However, there are still challenges for middle-aged entrepreneurs, as start-up services and policies are often not readily accessible or fully utilized. Despite active research on middle-aged start-ups, previous studies have not delved deeply into the demographics of start-up preparation and various preparation behaviors. In response to this, a study was conducted to identify which start-up support services middle-aged entrepreneurs use, and how start-up preparation can be classified based on this. Data from 324 middle-aged tech start-up owners, based in Seoul and who started their businesses within the past 7 years, was collected and analyzed. The results showed that middle-aged entrepreneurs had moderate start-up preparation, with the greatest focus on the preparation period and the least focus on start-up education. Latent Profile Analysis revealed three groups of start-up preparation types among middle-aged entrepreneurs: "Overall Tribal Type," "Lack of Start-up Education Type," and "Comprehensive Preparation Type." BCH was performed on start-up satisfaction, start-up competence, fear of failure, access to start-up services, and support needs for middle-aged entrepreneurs based on the preparation type. The results showed that "Overall Tribal Type" had statistically lower start-up satisfaction, competence, and service accessibility compared to the other groups. Meanwhile, "Comprehensive Preparation Type" had a statistically lower fear of failure than the other types. "Overall Tribal Type" also had lower accessibility to middle-aged start-up services. All types had a high recognition of the need for support for specialized middle-aged start-ups. The findings highlight the need for more comprehensive support for middle-aged entrepreneurs. This could include expanding support projects to enhance their level of preparation, providing customized support based on their level of preparation, and improving the visibility and accessibility of start-up support services for middle-aged individuals. Additionally, specialized education that addresses the characteristics of middle-aged individuals should be provided.

This study analyzed whether depression and social support had a mediating effect between income status and life satisfaction of middle-aged and elderly people with disabilities using data from the 15th year of the Korea Welfare Panel data. As a result of the analysis, first, the income status of the middle-aged and disabled was depressed(B=.241, p<.001), social support(B=-.167, p<.001), and life satisfaction(B=-.277, p<.001) was confirmed to have a direct effect. Second, the mediating effect of depression and social support was verified on the influence between the income status of middle-aged and disabled people between life satisfaction. Third, it was confirmed that depression and social support had a multi-mediating effect between the income status and life satisfaction of middle-aged and disabled people. Therefore, an income support system that supports middle-aged and disabled people to live at an appropriate level should be prepared. In addition, in order to increase the life satisfaction of middle-aged and disabled people, it is necessary to intervene in mental health support services that can actively cope with depression and to expand the social support network.

배추흰나비의 변태과정에 따른 중장내 trehalase의 변화와 분포 및 특성을 측정, 비교하였으며, 5영말유충의 중승내 trehalase를 정제하여 다른 기관과의 상호관계를 면피학적 방법으로 구명하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 중장조직의 trehalase 활성은 5영초보다 5영말에서 높았으며 trehalase는 암, 수 모두 중장 후부에 많이 존재하였다. 전라초부터 우화직전까지는 중장내용물에서 활성이 나타났는데 누직후에 가장 높았으며 중장의 trehalase는 soluble form 이었다. 혈림프에서도 trehalase가 확인되었는데 나화직전에 높게 나타났다가 나화직후에 급진적으로 액소하였다. 중승 trehalase의 최적 P광는 6.0으로 전변태단계에 걸쳐 일정하게 나타났으며, Km값은 2.86$\times$10-3M이었다. 최종 정제된 나소의 순도는 약 9.2이며, Rm값은 0.3이었다.

Acid phosphatase(AP) of he aphid, Megoura crassicauda and the major component of the lady beetle's artificial diet, fresh chicken liver, was adapted as a model protein to study the digestion of diet proteins in the midgut of Harmonia axyridis. The lady beetle did not secrete its own AP into the lumen of the midgut. The aphid and the live chicken liver had AP which was still alive in enzymatic activity from the extract of the lumen of the midgut of the lady beetle. The digestive ability of the lady beetle on proteins turned out to be different depending on food sources. In the lumen of the midgut of the lady beetle, though most of AP of live chicken liver lost its activity withtin 12 hours, that of M. cassicauda kept strong enzymatic activity up to 24 hours.

The purpose of this study is to provide basic data for developing strategies to maintain a stable and happy middle-aged and mature years. We want a happy life during middle and old age. However, most middle-aged and older adults are a continuous process of self-regulation, learning stress coping skills to maintain balance and integration throughout their lives, control their emotions, and effectively regulate their living environments. To effectively cope with the crises experienced in middle and old age, to discover and pursue one's own unique meaning in life, and to enjoy a stable and vibrant middle and old age without experiencing difficulties between happiness and unhappiness, we continuously learn the core of the meaning of life. The purpose of this study is to present data.

This study was conducted to explore the career competencies among the middle-aged employment vulnerable groups and to provide the basis for systematic career development and human resource development for the middle-aged and employment vulnerable groups. Interviews and expert advice for the middle-aged (40-64 years old) employment vulnerable groups were conducted. The main research results as follows. First, middle-aged employment vulnerable groups have different career requirements depending on their characteristics. Second, the career competencies of the middle-aged employment vulnerable group were composed five factors and 21 sub-detailed competencies including career cognitive competencies, career skill competencies, career attitude competencies, career transition competencies, and career resource management competencies. Third, as a result of the priority analysis of Borich and Locus for Focus, career goal setting, career implementation competency, employment and start-up information, job search skills were the top priorities, career identity, digital literacy, job market knowledge, and infrastructure utilization were the second priority.

An accurate early diagnosis of congenital midgut malrotation is essential to prevention of catastrophic effects of volvulus. To evaluate the usefulness of radiologic examinations in diagnosing intestinal malrotation, we retrospectively analyzed radiologic findings and operation records of 17 intestinal malrotation patients, who were radiologically diagnosed. The age range of the patients studied were from 1day to 12years. The presenting symptoms were vomiting, vomiting with abdominal pain, abdominal distention, diarrhea and failure to thrive. The viewpoints of this analysis were the location of duodeno-jejunal flexure on barium meal and cecal location on barium enema. Sixteen of 17 patients, who were radiologically diagnosed, were surgically proven, but one patient with annular pancreas was false positive. In the case of 3 surgically proved patients, malrotation was suspected on barium meal prior to the barium enema, but final diagnosis was determined on barium enema examination. We concluded that a barium enema should be performed on all children with suspected malrotation where the initial upper gastro-intestinal study was normal or suspicious on account of the small incidence of false positive and false negative barium meals.
