This study was conducted with two ruminally cannulated Holstein steers to examine the effect of micronized and steam flaked corn on ruminal fermentation characteristics. The in situ dry matter degradability after 48 h incubation was the highest (P<0.05) at micronized corn (2.5 mm thickness) compared with steam flaked corn treatments. The steam flacked corn (3.3 mm thickness) was degraded lower (P<0.05) than the 2.9 and 3.1 mm thickness of steam flacked corn. Effective dry matter degradability and the rate of constant were the highest (P<0.05) at micronized corn (2.5 mm thickness) compared with steam flaked corns as well. The in vitro dry matter degradability after 48 h incubation was tended to higher (P=0.088) at micronized corn (2.5 mm thickness) than steam flaked corns, whereas there is no significantly difference between steam flaked corn treatments. Total volatile fatty acid concentration was higher at steam flaked corn (2.9 mm thickness) than micronized corn (2.5 mm thickness) and steam flaked corn (3.1 and 3.3 mm thickness). The acetate : propionate ratio was the highest (P=0.008) at steam flaked corn (2.9 mm thickness) and the lowest (P=0.008) at micronized corn (2.5 mm thickness). Total gas and methane production after 48h ruminal incubation was the highest (P=0.001) at micronized corn (2.5 mm thickness) compared with steam flaked corns. According to these results, the thickness of steam flaked corn as resulted corn processing is believed to do not affect methane production. However, further study is needed to better understand the present results to verify the correlation between corn processing method and their thickness on methane production using the same thickness corns by difference processing methods.

Objective: This study analyzed errors due to rotation or tilt of the magnetic resonance (MR) imaging indicator during image acquisition for a stereotactic radiosurgery. The error correction procedure of a commercially available stereotactic neurosurgery treatment planning program has been verified. Materials and Methods: Software virtual phantoms were built with stereotactic images generated by a commercial programming language, Interactive Data Language (version 5.5). The thickness of an image slice was 0.5 mm, pixel size was $0.5{\times}0.5mm$, field of view was 256 mm, and image resolution was $512{\times}512$. The images were generated under the DICOM 3.0 standard in order to be used with Leksell GammaPlan$^{(R)}$. For the verification of the rotation error correction function of Leksell GammaPlan$^{(R)}$, 45 measurement points were arranged in five axial planes. On each axial plane, there were nine measurement points along a square of length 100 mm. The center of the square was located on the z-axis and a measurement point was on the z-axis, too. Five axial planes were placed at z=-50.0, -30.0, 0.0, 30.0, 50.0 mm, respectively. The virtual phantom was rotated by $3^{\circ}$ around one of x, y, and z-axis. It was also rotated by $3^{\circ}$ around two axes of x, y, and z-axis, and rotated by $3^{\circ}$ along all three axes. The errors in the position of rotated measurement points were measured with Leksell GammaPlan$^{(R)}$ and the correction function was verified. Results: The image registration errors of the virtual phantom images was $0.1{\pm}0.1mm$ and it was within the requirement of stereotactic images. The maximum theoretical errors in position of measurement points were 2.6 mm for a rotation around one axis, 3.7 mm for a rotation around two axes, and 4.5 mm for a rotation around three axes. The measured errors in position was $0.1{\pm}0.1mm$ for a rotation around single axis, $0.2{\pm}0.2mm$ for double and triple axes. These small errors verified that the rotation error correction function of Leksell GammaPlan$^{(R)}$ is working fine. Conclusion: A virtual phantom was built to verify software functions of stereotactic neurosurgery treatment planning program. The error correction function of a commercial treatment planning program worked within nominal error range. The virtual phantom of this study can be applied in many other fields to verify various functions of treatment planning programs.

Purpose: We evaluated the efficacy of ultrasonographic examination of the medial collateral ligament injury in elbow joints in the high school male weight lifting athletes. Materials and Methods: The study group (group I) included 15 male weight lifting athletes (average age: 16.8) and the control group (group II) was demographically matched 9 male with no symptoms on their elbow. Both elbow joint was evaluated through physical examination, plain radiograph, valgus stress view and ultrasonography. Results: On plain radiograph, there was no significant differences (3.6 mm, 2.7 mm; p>0.05) for the medial articular distances between both groups. The valgus stress view revealed the significant increase in group I (right, avr. 5.86 mm and 3.52 mm, p<0.01, left, avr. 5.33 mm and 3.64 mm, p<0.01). On ultrasonography, medial joint space was increased in group I (right, avr. 4.66 mm and 3.29 mm, p<0.01, left elbow 4.28 mm and 3.38 mm, p<0.01). The lateral shifting of proximal ulna also increased in group I (right, avr. 0.73 mm and 1.43 mm, p<0.01, left, avr. 0.96 mm and 1.53 mm, p<0.05). The angular deformity were more prevalent in group I. Conclusion: The medial joint space widening and angular deformity was prevalent in male weight lifting athletes. the ultrasonographic examination was useful in evaluating the degree and incidence of the medial collateral ligament injuries.

MDCT is used to determine how the noise changes as the slice thickness changes. Noise according to thickness of 1.5, 3.0, 5.0 and 10.0 mm was analyzed using the Siemens (Somatom Definition Flash, Germany) equipment and calibration conditions such as tube voltage and tube current using the calibration QC phantom. 1.5, 3.0, 5.0 and 10.0 mm, respectively. The mean HU was 1.5 mm (7.7 HU), 3.0 mm (4.9 HU) and was reduced by 59.5% from 1.5 mm. 5.0 mm (3.9 HU) and 97.6% compared to 1.5 mm, 10.0 mm (3.1 HU) and 148% less than 1.5 mm. It was found that as slice thickness increased, noise decreased, while slice thickness decreased. In conclusion, setting the appropriate slice thickness for each site may be useful for obtaining appropriate noise and image quality.

Cardiac arrest, hypoxia, shock or seizure has been known to induce cerebral ischemia. This study was designed to investigate the effect of ischemia on hippocampal pyramidal layer induced by transient bilateral occlusion of the common carotid arteries. Mature Mongolian gerbils were sacrificed at days 2, 4, and 7 after carotid occlusion for 10 minutes. Sham-operated gerbils of control group were subjected to the same protocol except for carotid occlusion. During operation for ischemia, body temperature was maintained $37{\pm}0.5^{\circ}C$ in all gerbils. Paraffin-embedded brain tissue blocks were cut into coronal slices and stained with H-E stain or immunostain by TUNEL method. Neurons with the oval and prominent nucleus and without the eosinophilic cytoplasm in the subfield of hippocamapal pyramidal layer were calculated as to be viable neurons. Their chromatins were condensed or clumped. Their nuclei appeared multiangular or irregularly shrinked. The width of the pyramidal layer was reduced due to the loss of nuclei. At day 2 after reperfusion, some neurons in the CA1 subfield were slightly eosinophilic. But most neurons in the CA2 subfield were strongly eosinophilic. At day 4 day, most neurons in the CA1 subfield were severely damaged and at day 7 day, only a few survived neurons were observed. Survived neurons per longitudinal 1mm sector in the CA1, CA2, CA3, and CA4 subfields of pyramidal layer were investigated. At day 2, the mean numbers of pyramidal neurons in CA1, CA2, CA3, and CA4 subfiedls were 104.5/mm (54.3%), 51.0/mm (33.8%), 105.5/mm (85.6%), and 124.3/mm (93.5%) compared to the nonischemic control group, respectively. At day 4, the mean numbers of pyramidal neurons in CA1, CA2, CA3, and CA4 subfields were 3.2/mm (1.7%), 51.5/mm(34.2%), 95.3/mm (77.4%), and 112.5/mm (84.6%), respectively. At day 7, the mean numbers of pyramidal neurons in CA1, CA2, CA3, and CA4 subfiedls were 0.8/mm (0.4%), 5.7/mm(3.8%), 9.8/mm (8.0%), and 5.0/mm (3.7%), respectively. The mean numbers of apoptotic positive neurons in the CA1 subfield at day 2, 4, and 7 after reperfusion were 67.8/mm, 153.2/mm and 123.7/mm, respectively. These results suggest that the transient cerebral ischemia cause severe damages in most neurons at day 7 and that the prosminent apoptotic positive neurons in hippocampal pyramidal layer are the delayed neuronal death induced by ischemia.

To determine the appropriate session for changing treatment modality according to the size of proximal ureter stone with complete obstruction, We analyzed 201 patients with proximal ureter stone primarily treated by Dornier MPL 9000 lithotripter from January, 2002 to August, 2004. Of total 201 patients, the patients without complete obstruction were 142, and with complete obstruction were 59. In the patients without complete obstruction, the accumulative stone free rate of the first, second, and third session were 68.3%, 86.6%, and 94.4%, respectively. The accumulative stone free rate according to the stone size at third session were 100%, 90.5%, 00.0% in stones less than 10 mm, 10 to less than 20 mm, and larger than or 20 mm, respectively. In the patients with complete obstruction, the accumulative stone free rate of the first, second, and third session were 44.1%, 66.1%, and 76.3%, respectively. The accumulative stone free rate according to the stone size at third session were 100%, 65.5%, 33.3% in stones less than 10 mm, 10 to less than 20 mm, and larger than or 20 mm, respectively. In our study, the size of proximal ureter stone with complete obstruction influenced noticeably on the success rate of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL). We propose that the proximal ureter stones larger than or 10 mm with complete obstruction are treated by ureteroscopic manipulation than ESWL as the first line treatment modality.

The seaweed Porphyra pseudolinearis as a dominant species grows at upper of the intertidal zone of the East Sea from October to March. Vegetative cells have not matured during October when observed with naked eye and microscope. In the middle of November, although it didn't distingush between female and male gametophytes by eye, it showed antheridium and carpogonium when observed vertical section under microscope. From early December, It could be distinguished female and male gametophytes clearly. From Feburary it showed shorted length of thalli by release of spermatangia and carposporangia as maturation. At early March, the colar has been decaeded and side of thalli has been melted, completed of release of spermatia. At the end of December, the average length and width of female thalli were 149.9$\pm$5.6mm and 22.2$\pm$2.3mm, respectively. The length and width of male thalli were 149.9$\pm$9.4mm and 20.7$\pm$1.8mm. At the end of January, the average length and width of female thalli were 94.6$\pm$6.4mm and 29.1mm$\pm$5.1, respcetively. The length and width of male thalli were 107.8$\pm$7.3mm and 25.9$\pm$0.9mm. From this period lengths of female and male thalli have already been shortned by the release of spermatia and carpogonia.
