MRA1997 is a 76-residue conserved hypothetical protein of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra, one of the most pathogenic bacterial species and the causative agent of tuberculosis. In this study, the sequence-specific backbone resonance assignment of MRA1997 was performed using NMR spectroscopy. Approximately 88.3% of the total resonances could be unambiguously assigned. By analyzing deviations of the $C{\alpha}$ and $C{\beta}$ chemical shift values, the secondary structure of MRA1997 was calculated. The result revealed that secondary structure of MRA 1997 consists of one ${\alpha}$-helix and five ${\beta}$-sheets. Our structural study will be a footstone towards the characterization of the three-dimensional structure of MRA1997.

The aim of our study was to identify the changing trends in the composition, structure, and spatial distribution of forest vegetation in Apsan Park, a representative urban forest in Daegu, South Korea. A vegetation survey was conducted in 1997 and 2016 using phytosociological methods, and a detailed vegetation map was created using the physiognomic dominant species. There were 22 vegetation types in both 1997 and 2016, but two of those types increased and two decreased. The total coverage per unit area ($100m^2$) of the component vegetation species increased from 163% in 1997 to 182% in 2016, and natural vegetation tended to be more than twice that of artificial vegetation. The average number of species decreased by seven from 25 in 1997 to 18 in 2016. Species diversity (H') increased only slightly from 1,654 in 1997 to 1,680 in 2016, while species dominance (D) decreased by 9% from 0.304 in 1997 to 0.276 in 2016. The similarity in the composition of the forest vegetation was about 78%, which was nearly the same. The life form spectrums of vascular plants changed from '$G-R_5-D_4-e$' in 1997 to '$MM-R_5-D_4-e$' in 2016 and the central dormancy type changed from geophytes (G) to megaphanerophytes (MM). The spatial distribution of the forest vegetation was reduced by approximately four times that of artificial vegetation. The number of forest landscape elements (patches) increased from 269 in 1997 to 294 in 2016, while the average area decreased by 12% from 5.8 ha in 1997 to 5.1 ha in 2016.

Purpose : In the summer 1997, there was an outbreak of aseptic meningitis in Pusan area. We report the clinical features and viral studies of aseptic meningitis in Pusan area in 1997. Methods : 265 children with aseptic meningitis who had been admitted to Department of Pediatrics, St. Benedict Hospital between April to October 1997 were included. Results : 1) Male-to-female ratio was 1.7:1. 2) Mean age was $6.2{\pm}3.29$ years. 3) It occured mostly April to October. 4) Clinical manifestations were fever 99.6%, vomiting 99.2%, headache 99.2%, rash 6.0%. 5) The duration of fever was $3.34{\pm}2.21$ days. 6) The duration of admission was $5.3{\pm}3.21$ days. 7) WBC count in peripheral blood were $11,200{\pm}4,163/mm^3$. 8) WBC count in CSF were $156.1{\pm}394.7/mm^3$. 9) Causative agents were coxsackievirus B5, echovius 6, 30, type nonspecific enterovirus. Conclusion : Aseptic meningitis in 1997 compared with that in 1996 had clinical feature of increase in age, decrease in duration of fever and incidende of rash. It occurred mostly April to October in 1997 and May to October in 1996. Causative agents were coxackievirus B5, echovirus 6, 30, type nonespecific enterovirus in 1997, and echovirus 9, coxsackievirus A24, type nonespecific enterovirus in 1996.

We have analyzed 255 data of the daily sunspot observations during the period of January 3 to December 31 in 1997 and present the daily relative sunspot numbers. During the 1997, the preliminary annual average of the relative sunspot numbers found to be 28.2 based on 9.7 distinct spots in a single group for 1.4 spot groups. According to the appearance of 366 spot groups, our analysis shows that the mean life time of spot group is about 4 day and 17.0 hours.

Purpose : The objective of this study was to provide current estimates of the prevalence and examine trends of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents. Methods : Height and weight measurements from 183,159 (112,974 in 1997, 70,185 in 2005) children and adolescents aged 2 to 18 years were obtained via the 1997 and 2005 National Growth Survey. Obesity among children and adolescents was defined as being at or above the 95th percentile of the gender-specific body mass index (BMI) for age in the 2007 Korean National Growth Charts or a BMI of 25 or higher; overweight was defined as being at or above the 85th percentile to less than the 95th percentile BMI. Results : In 2005, 9.7% (11.3% for boys, 8.0% for girls) of South Korean children and adolescents were obese; 19.0% (19.7% for boys, 18.2% for girls) were overweight or obese. The overall prevalence of obesity increased from 5.8% in 1997 to 9.7% in 2005 (from 6.1% in 1997 to 11.3% in 2005 for boys and from 5.5% in 1997 to 8.0% in 2005 for girls); the increasing trend was most evident in boys, especially those aged 13-18 years. Conclusion : The prevalence of obesity among children and adolescents increased significantly during the eight-year period from 1997 to 2005. This study suggests that we need to make a priority of developing strategies to control obesity in children and adolescents; the potential health effects of increases in obesity are of considerable public health importance.

The objective of this study was to estimate changes on the flood and nutrient intake patterns of men over thirty years old in Jeon-Ju area. The first survey was conducted from December in 1991 to January in 1992, tile second one from January to February in 1994 and the third one from July to August in 1997. The nutrition survey using 24-hour recall method was executed to 303 subjects : 89, 82, 132 in 1991, 1994 and 1997, respectively. Results of the study are as follows : Kimchi, rice, garlic and onions were the most frequently eaten food items. Total daily intakes of foods were 85 : 15, 81 : 19 and 81 : 19 in 1991, 1994 and 1997, respectively. The average numbers of foods per person were 15.7, 20.1 and 21.9 daily in 1991, 1994 and 1997, respectively and tends to increase significantly(p<0.05). The minimum numbers of foods per person were 4, 7 and 9 and the maximum numbers of foods per person were 27, 35 and 39 in 1991, 1994 and 1997, respectively. KDDS(Korean\`s Dietary Diversity Score) is determined by how many among the five food groups (cereals, vegetables, meats, milks, oils groups)were consumed per day. Most subjects earned the KDDS "3" ; 61, 46 and 42% in 1991, 1994 and 1997, respectively. Average daily energy intakes wee 1,62㎉(72% of RDA), 2,063㎉(89% of RDA) and 1,818㎉ (79% of RDA) in 1991, 1994 and 1997, respectively. Energy intake rates of cereals : total energy intake were 65, 59, and 60% in 1991, 1994 and 1997, respectively, which were decreasing. Protein intakes were 58g(72% of RDA), 79g(107% of RDA) and 71g(97% of RDA), respectively and animal protein comprised 46, 53, and 59%, respectively ; which were increased. Fat intakes were 12g, 20g and 20g, respectively and animal protein comprised 38, 46, and 48% ; which were increased. Fat intakes were 12g, 20g and 20g, respectively, of which animal fat comprised 46, 53, and 59%, respectively ; which were increased, too. Malnourished (under 75% of RDA) rates were respectively 64, 34, and 47% in terms of energy ; 64, 31 and 33% in protein ; 67, 51, and 61% in calcium ; 53, 26, and 18% in iron ; 85, 74 and 84% in Vitamin A. Super-nourished(above 125% of RDA) rates were respectively 1, 13, and 3% in energy ; 1, 29, and 21% in protein ; 5, 18, and 7% in calcium ; 16, 31, and 7% in iron ; 16, 31, and 7% in Vitamin A, 42, 76, and 62% in Vitamin C. The percentages of calories from protein : fat : carbohydrate were 14 : 12 : 74, 15 : 16 : 69 and 16 : 17 : 67 in 1991, 1994 and 1997, respectively. KDDS(number of five food groups per day), Meal Balance(number of five food groups per meal), DVS(average numbers of foods per person), amount of foods correlated positively with all the nutrient intakes(p<0.05). KDDS was positively correlated with energy, protein, fat, calcium, thiamin, riboflavin and niacin(p<0.05)in(p<0.05)
