조절반응의 평가는 옵토메트리 검사의 중요한 일부분이다. 본 연구는 조절반응의 타각적인 검사방법인 자동굴절계와 MEM 검영법 및 Nott 동적검영법으로 측정한 검사결과의 상관성과 차이를 비교하고자 하였다. 본 연구의 취지에 동의하는 19~29사이(평균나이 22.22${\pm}$2.43세)의 정상시력을 가진 27명의 대학생을 선정하여 4D(25cm)의 조절자극이 주어진 상태에서 자동굴절계(Shin-Nippon NVision-K 5001)와 MEM 검영법 및 Nott 동적검영법을 실시하여 조절 반응을 측정하였다. 4D의 조절자극에 대한 조절반응은 자동굴절계(Shin-Nippon NVision-K 5001) 3.70${\pm}$0.25D, MEM 검영법 3.58${\pm}$0.30D 그리고 Nott 동적검영법 3.77${\pm}$0.29D로 각각 측정되었다. 3가지 검사는 상호간에 높은 상관성이 있었다(p<0.05). MEM 검영법은 Nott 동적검영법보다 0.19${\pm}$0.13D 더 낮게 측정되었고(p<0.05), 자동굴절계(Shin-Nippon NVision-K 5001) 보다 0.12${\pm}$0.24D 더 낮게 측정되었다(p<0.05). Nott 동적검영법과 자동굴절계(Shin-Nippon NVision-K 5001)로 측정한 값은 유의한 차이가 없었다(p>0.05). MEM 검영법으로 측정한 조절반응은 Nott 동적검영법이나 자동굴절계로 측정한 값보다 더 낮았다. 저자는 조절반응을 평가할 때, MEM 검영법을 제외한 Nott 동적검영법과 자동굴절계(Shin-Nippon NVision-K 5001)는 상호 대체하여 사용할 수 있다고 주장한다.

Wolfiporia cocos is an edible fungus commercially cultivated in Asia. To investigate metabolic changes of W. cocos mycelia under both light and dark culture conditions, gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analyses were performed. In terms of the total amount of sugars, alcohols, amino acids, organic acids, fatty acids, and purines, there no significant differences between the W. cocos mycelia cultivated under light (L) or dark (D) conditions (p < 0.05). However, there were some differences with respect to the production of particular sugars and proteins. The levels of trehalose (L: 17.2 ± 0.3% vs. D: 13.9 ± 1.6%), maltose (L: 0.9 ± 0.1% vs. D: 0.3 ± 0.1%), turanose (L: 0.7 ± 0.2% vs. D: 0.1 ± 0.1%), glutamine (L: 1.6 ± 0.3% vs. D: 0.7 ± 0.2%), and proline (L: 0.3 ± 0% vs. D: 0.1 ± 0%) were all significantly higher under light condition (p < 0.05). In contrast, the levels of galactose (L: 13.7 ± 1.2% vs. D: 17.6 ± 2.0%), aspartic acid (L: 0.6 ± 0.1 % vs. D: 0.9 ± 0.1%), cystathionine (L: 0.6 ± 0.1% vs. D: 0.8 ± 0 %), and malic acid (L: 0.7 ± 0.1% vs. D: 1.2 ± 0.1%) were higher under the dark condition. It is worth noting that the amount of pachymic acid, a pharmaceutically active compound of W. cocos, was 1.68 times greater under the light condition (p < 0.05).

The purpose of this study was to implement and evaluate the health education program for elementary school children. The program consisted of nutritional education and physical exercise. The subjects composed of 89 school children, first through sixth grade (n = 100), who had completed ten weeks of health education program from April through July 2010. Pre-post intervention design was used to evaluate the program effectiveness. After completing health education program, the number of overweight subjects decreased (boys 13 to 11 and girls 11 to 9) and the number of obese subjects decreased from 5 to 4 for boys and 4 to 2 for girls The number of sit-ups significantly increased in both 1-2 grade girls and 3-4 grade girls. Backward trunk extension of 1-2 grade girls also significantly increased (p < 0.05). The level of serum total cholesterol decreased from 171.8 mg/dL to 153.5 mg/dL (p < 0.001). Hypercholesterolemia (above 239 mg/dL), hyperLDLcholesterolemia (above 175 mg/dL) and low level hemoglobin subjects changed to normal levels. Total score of nutrition knowledge increased from 5.9 to 6.1 (p < 0.05), percentage of perception answers increased significantly in 5 out of 10 items and percentage of correct answers increased significantly in 6 out of 10 items (p < 0.05). Three food habits improved, including, "having breakfast", "having diverse foods" and "having vegetables per meal" (p < 0.05). Two self-efficacy items improved significantly, including, "having meals slowly", "having exercise instead of watching TV or computer" (p < 0.05). These results suggest that health education program for elementary school children including nutritional education and physical exercise may be effective to improve their anthropometric characteristics, physical fitness, hyperlipidemia, nutrition knowledge, food habits and self-efficacy.

This study was conducted to investigate the behavioral and physiological changes of heat stressed Corriedale ewes exposed to water deprivation. Nine Corriedale ewes (average $BW=45{\pm}3.7kg$) were individually fed diets based on maintenance requirements in metabolic crates. Ewes were assigned into three groups (9 sheep per treatment) according to a $3{\times}3$ Latin square design for 3 periods with 21-d duration for each period. The control (CON) group was given free access to water, 2 h water deprivation (2hWD), and 3 h water deprivation (3hWD) following feeding. No differences were found in fecal excretion frequency, standing frequency (number/d), and sitting frequency among the groups (p > 0.05). Measurements of standing duration (min/d) and urine excretion frequency (number/d) showed a significant decrease whereas sitting duration (min/d) showed a significant increase in the 2hWD and 3hWD groups when compared with the CON group (p < 0.05). Fecal score and heart rate (number/min) were not different among the groups (p > 0.05). However, respiratory rate (number/min) and panting score were found to be significantly higher in the 2hWD and 3hWD groups than in the CON group (p < 0.05). It is concluded that water deprivation following feeding intensifies physiological heat stress related indicators such as respiratory rate and panting score and changes behavioral parameters such as water intake and urine excretion frequency in heat stressed ewes. Daily adaptation to the extreme environmental conditions may occur actively in ewes.

Purpose : To determine clinical features, laboratory findings and cardiac abnormalities of highdose immune globulin(IVIG) retreatment in patients with Kawasaki disease, and to report effectiveness of retreatment. Methods : Retrospective study of 174 children diagnosed with Kawasaki disease at Ewha Mokdong hospital from March, 1999 to July, 2001. Results : Twenty(11.5%) of 174 patients were retreated with high-dose IVIG. After this, only two patients(1.1%) did not respond to IVIG retreatment. Patients with failure to respond to initial IVIG did not differ from the patients who responded to a single course of IVIG in sex, age, days of fever at initial IVIG and clinical characteristics. Compared with responders with single IVIG treatment, the patients who were retreated had significantly lower albumin(3.7 vs 3.4 g/dL, P < 0.05), higher ALT(118.2 vs 229.3 U/L, P < 0.05) and CRP(8.9 vs 13.3 mg/dL, P < 0.05). On echocardiography, patients who recieved IVIG retreatment were significantly more likely to have caronary abnormalities(45.0% vs 13.6%, P < 0.05). Conclusion : Retratment with IVIG for persistent or recurrent fever was safe and effective.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of chicken egg containing IgY against H. pylori in patients with gastritis. Sixty three H. pylori-infected volunteers (20∼43 year, Male Female=49 : 14) were randomized into four groups which were treated with one chicken egg containing IgY b.i.d. (IgY group; n=17) or omeprazole 20 mg b.i.d., amoxicillin 1.0 g b.i.d. and clarithromycin 500 mg b.i.d. (OAC group; n=17) or omeprazole 20 mg b.i.d., amoxicillin 1.0 g b.i.d., clarithromycin 500 mg b.i.d. and one chicken egg containing IgY b.i.d. (OAC with IgY group; n=16) for 2 weeks or lyophilized IgY 1 g b.i.d (lyophilized IgY group) for 1 month. $\Delta$$^{13}$ $CO_2$ before and after treatment, the eradication rate of H. pylori and histologic change including H. pylori density, acute and chronic inflammation activity, intestinal metaplasia and glandular atrophy by updated sydney system were evaluated. Eradication rate of OAC with IgY group (94%) was higher than IgY group (0%), lyophilized IgY group (0%) and OAC group (88%). $\Delta$$^{13}$ $CO_2$at 2 weeks after treatment in one patient of IgY group was decreased. But that was not changed in the other patients. $\Delta$$^{13}$ $CO_2$ at 1 week after treatment in 15 patients of OAC with IgY group was significantly lower than pretreatment level (p<0.05), and $\Delta$$^{13}$ $CO_2$ at 1 week and 2 week after treatment was decreased in the other patient. Acute inflammation activity at antrum was significantly decreased after treatment in IgY and lyophilized IgY group (p<0.01), H. pylori density at antrum was significantly decreased after treatment in IgY and lyophilized IgY group (p<0.05). Chronic inflammation activity at body was decreased after treatment in lyophilized IgY group. Intestinal metaplasia and glandular atrophy at antrum and body were not changed after treatment in IgY group. Mild intestinal metaplasia in one patient of lyophilized IgY group changed to normal after 1 month treatment. Gandular atrophy at antrum and body were not changed after treatment in lyophilized IgY group.

For Exp, 1, eighty [(DurocYorkshire)Landrace) pigs(38.63$\pm$0.68kg average initial BW) were used to evaluate the effects microbial phytase supplementation on the growth performance and nutrient digestibility in growing pigs. There were ten pigs per pen and four pens per treatment. Treatments were 1) CON(com-SBM based diet), 2) Low-P(low-P diet+500 FTU/kg microbial phytase). For overall period, ADG, ADFI and gain/feed were significantly improved(P<0.05) by supplementation of Low-P diet. Also, pigs fed Low-P diet increased N, crude ash, Ca and P digestibilities compared to pigs fed CON diet(P<0.05). For Exp. 2, sox [(DurocYorkshire) Landrace) pigs(32.7kg average initial BW) were used to evaluate the effects microbial phytase supplementation on the nutrient excretion in growing pigs. Experimental treatments were as described for Exp. 1. pigs fed Low-P diet decreased N(8.70 vs 6.43g/d), crude ash(38.13 vs. 25.33 g/d), Ca(6.03 vs. 3.93g/d) and P(4.53 vs. 2.77g/d) excretion compared to pigs fed CON diet(P<0.05). In conclusion, microbial phytase supplementation in low P diets improved growth and nutrient digestibility.
