This study was undertaken to compare the biomass of Abies koreana growing at two sites. A $10{\times}10m$ plot was established in each site of a natural stand in Mt. Jiri and a plantation in Gyeongsan nursery. Five trees of A. koreana were randomly selected in each site. The following traits were investigated from each tree : height, basal diameter, age, weight of stem, branches, and needles as above-ground traits and weight of total roots, horizontal roots, and vertical roots as below-ground traits. In Gyeongsan nursery, age of sample trees was negatively correlated with both height and weight of total stem, while height was highly correlated with weight of horizontal roots. There was high correlation between the basal diameter and weight of total stem, and between the basal diameter and weight of roots. In Mt. Jiri stand, most of the above-ground traits except age were significantly correlated with the below-ground traits. The linear regression equation between the cross section area of base (X) and the weight of total stem (Y) in Gyeongsan nursery was Y=12.66X-12.92, and correlation was significant ($R^2=0.89$). The linear regression equation between the cross section area of base(X) and the weight of total branches (Y) in Mt. Jiri stand was Y=25.51X+6.00, and correlation was highly significant ($R^2=1.0$).

Purpose This study aims to measure the effects of media literacy education through the social science method and find out the impact of media literacy education on digital citizenship in Korea and its implications for the development of democracy. Design/methodology/approach This study used an independent t-test to analyze relativeness between media literacy education and media literacy factors. We also adopted an independent t-test to investigate media literacy influence on digital citizenship. Furthermore, we found out age differences using 'the one-way analysis of variance (the one-way ANOVA)'. Findings We have found four media literacy factors, MC, CT, C&P, R&R, have been significantly affected by media literacy education. We have also pulled out three digital citizenship factors, IPA, TS, and CP, involved in media literacy education. Moreover, we have analyzed our survey by different age groups. The lower the age, the higher the TS. CP was highest among those from 30 to 59, followed by those under the 30s.

Background: Age-related changes in facial skin is a major concern in women. This study aimed to objectively evaluate normal skin elasticity and age-related differences in the faces of East Asian women. There are no standard values for data related to normal skin on East Asian women. Methods: We studied 129 healthy East Asian women without a history of cosmetic procedures or surgeries. Skin elasticity was assessed at the cheek and lower eyelid points, which were assessed on both the right and left sides of the face. Results: The age of the subjects showed significant negative correlations with the R2 and R7 parameters, which represent skin elasticity after deformation. Conclusion: We therefore concluded that the primary decrease in skin elasticity in East Asian women occurs in the midface region.

연구배경 : 소아 기관지 천식 환자들의 진단이나 기도폐쇄 정도를 알기 위하여도 통상적으로 노력성 호기곡선이나 최대 호기류량곡선을 이용한 환기기능검사가 기본검사로 널리 사용된다. 그러나 호흡곤란이 있는 소아에서는 이러한 검사를 적절히 시행하는 것이 어려운 경우가 많다. 따라서 자가 치료를 하는 환자들의 경과관찰이나 응급실을 방문한 환자들은 검사가 비교적 용이하기 때문에 최고호기유링계로 최고호기유량(PEF)을 많이 측정한다. PEF는 절대값이나 증상이 없을 때의 최대치 혹은 추정정상치에 대한 백분율로 표시하는데 현재까지 국내에서 소아를 대상으로 최고호기유량계로 측정한 PEF에 관한 보고는 아직까지 없었다. 이에 건강한 소아에서 PEF의 추정정상치를 산출하고 이 값이 $FEV_1$을 비롯한 다른 환기기능검사를 어느 정도 정확하게 예측할 수 있는 지를 조사하였다. 방 법 : 호흡기 증상이나 기왕 병력이 없는 5세에서 16세 사이의 건강한 소아(남자 196명, 여자 152명)을 대상으로 mini-Wright 최대호기유량계(Clement Clarke International Ltd. England)를 이용하여 3회 이상 PEF를 측정하였다. 아울러 Microspiro HI-501 휴대용 폐활량측정계(Chest Co., Japan)로 노력성호기곡선, 최대호기류량곡선을 측정 분석하여 $FEV_1$, FVC, $FEV_1$/FVC, $FEF_{25-75%}$, $FEF_{25%}$, $FEF_{50%}$, $FEF_{75%}$와 $FEF_{max}$를 구하여 각각의 추정정상치를 나이와 신자율 변수로 히여 구하였다. 또한 PEF를 변수로 $FEV_1$ 및 $FEF_{max}$를 구하는 회귀방정식을 구하였다. 결 과 : 1. PEF(L/min)를 나이와 신장을 변수로 하여 구한 회귀방정식은 다음과 같다. 남자는 $12.6{\times}$age(year)+$3.4{\times}$height(cm)-263($R^2=0.85$), 여자는 $6{\times}$age(year)+$3.9{\times}$height(cm)-293($R^2=0.82$)이었다. 신장만을 변수로 하여 구한 회귀방정식은 남자는 $6.6{\times}$height(cm)-415($R^2=0.84$), 여자는 $5.1{\times}$height(cm)-382($R^2=0.82$)였다. 2. 최대호기류량곡선에서 산출한 $FEF_{max}$를 같은 단위로 환산하여 비교한 결과 PEF보다 평균 남자에서는 125(L/min), 여자에서는 118(L/min) 적였다. 3. PEF을 변수로 예측할 수 있는 $FEV_1$(m1) 값은 남자에서 $7.02{\times}$PEF(L/min)-550($R^2=0.82$), 여자에서는 $5.83{\times}$PEF(L/min)-146($R^2=0.81$)이었다. 결 론 : 건강한 소아 346명(남자 194명, 여자 152명)을 대상으로 최고호기유량계로 측정한 PEF의 추정정상치를 연령과 선장을 변수로 하여 구하였다. 여기서 측정한 PEF로 $FEV_1$ 및 $FEF_{max}$를 예측할 수 있는 수식을 구하였다. 그리고 측정기계 및 방법에 따라서 PEF값이 달라짐을 확인하였는데 이런 점을 유의한다변 PEF의 측정은 향후 환기기능 장애를 환자 진료에 많은 도움이 될 것으로 생각한다.

Objectives: The cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) and ankle-brachial index (ABI) are non-invasive methods to evaluate cardiovascular disease and arteriosclerosis. This study investigated the relationship between CAVI, ABI, and factors related to arteriosclerosis. Methods: This study included 535 healthy adults who underwent health examinations in 2019. We analyzed the correlation between CAVI, ABI and clinical variables. Multiple regression analysis was performed on the independent clinical variables associated with CAVI and ABI. Results: The correlation analysis of CAVI showed that body mass index (BMI) and HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) had a negative correlation, and the other variables had a significant positive correlation. The correlation analysis with ABI on the right side showed that age, diastolic blood pressure (DBP), gender, and LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) had a significant positive correlation, while HDL-C had a significant negative correlation. There was no statistical significance on the left. In the multiple regression analysis, DBP, age, BMI, gender, and HDL-C were proved to be independent factors in CAVI (right) (R²=0.365); DBP, age, gender, BMI, fasting blood sugar, and total cholesterol in CAVI (left) (R²=0.357); and age, gender, DBP, and systolic blood pressure in ABI (right) (R²=0.133). There were no statistically significant factors in ABI (left). It could be inferred that smoking and drinking are determinants that play an important role in CAVI. Conclusion: CAVI showed a high correlation with gender, age, and blood pressure. A significant correlation between CAVI and serum lipid values could be observed, but this showed a low correlation coefficient. ABI showed a high correlation with age and DBP. These results support the use of CAVI and ABI as primary diagnostic devices in medical treatment.

Aflatoxins are natural contaminants of poultry feeds and feed ingredients and cause liver damage, immunosuppression, reduction in performance and mortality in broilers. A number of studies have been carried out to study the effects of aflatoxin on feed conversion ratio in broilers. The results on feed conversion ratio of 10 research articles in broilers fed with aflatoxin from first day of age to six weeks of age were compiled and were subjected to meta-analysis. Chi-square test and $Tau^2$ (heterogeneity co-efficient) were applied to test for significance of heterogeneity of studies. To integrate results, fixed effect model by Inverse Variance method (IV method) was used when heterogeneity was insignificant and otherwise random effect model by DerSimonian and Laird Method (DL method) was used. The results of meta-analysis showed that the adverse effect of aflatoxin on feed conversion ratio at the end of first week was negligible, second week was medium and third to six weeks was very large.

Analyses for 6 metals (Cd, Zn, Cu, Ni, Pb, Mn) by Atomic absorption spectrophotometer were made on hair samples of healthy 135 in urban area and 130 in rural area who have not dealt with the above metals in their daily working life. Marksd variations were found. Samples of urban area contained more cadmium, copper, lead and manganese than those of rural area. No sexual difference in mean value could be observed and the amount of metals in hair did not increase with age. And no age dependency was found. There was a statistically significant correlation between the concentrations of cadmium and lead in both urban and rural people; Pb = 1.50 Cd + 6.69 (r = 0.213, p<0.05) in urban area Pb = 1.44 Cd + 3.67 (r = 0.327, p<0.001) in rural area

목 적 : 총경동맥의 IMT 측정은 초기 죽상 경화증 변화에 대한 비침습적 marker로 인정되고 있고, 임상에서 실행 가능한 유용한 검사 방법이다. 본 연구는 비만아와 정상 대조군의 경동맥 IMT를 측정하여 두 군 사이에 차이가 있는지 비교해 보고, 체질량지수, 혈압, 혈중 지질치와 같은 심혈관질환 위험인자와의 상관관계를 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 9-15세의 비만한 소아 및 청소년 49명(남 41명, 여 32명)과 정상 대조군 24명(남 14명, 여 10명)을 대상으로 신체 계측하고 8시간 공복 상태에서 채혈하여 혈당과 혈중 지질치, adiponectin을 측정하였다. 대상자는 누운 상태에서 7.5MHz 선형 탐촉자를 이용하여 고해상도 B형 초음파로 양측 경동맥 IMT를 측정하였다. 결 과 : 비만군의 mean IMT의 평균은 $0.34{\pm}0.03mm$, 정상 체중군은 $0.31{\pm}0.01mm$로 비만군이 유의하게 높았다(P<0.01). 비만군의 peak IMT의 평균은 $0.42{\pm}0.06mm$, 정상 체중군은 $0.37{\pm}0.05mm$로 비만군이 유의하게 높았다(P<0.01). Mean IMT는 연령(r=0.317, P<0.01), 체질량지수(r=0.431, P<0.01), 총 콜레스테롤(r=0.377, P<0.01), 중성지방(r=0.253, P<0.05), 저밀도 지단백 콜레스테롤(r=0.289, P<0.05)과 유의한 상관관계를 보였다. 비만군의 혈중 adiponectin의 평균은 $11.2{\pm}5.7{\mu}g/mL$, 정상 체중군은 $14.7{\pm}7.9{\mu}g/mL$로 비만군이 유의하게 낮았고(P<0.05), mean IMT는 adiponectin(r=-0.267, P<0.05)과 유의한 음의 상관관계를 보였다. 결 론 : 비만아에서 경동맥 내중막 두께는 정상 체중아에 비해 유의하게 증가되어 있었으며, 심혈관질환 위험인자와 연관성을 보였다. 따라서 이러한 비만아의 혈관 변화는 소아기 때부터 시작되는 것으로 생각되며, 비만 소아를 대상으로 심혈관질환 위험인자에 대한 조기 검사가 필요하다고 생각된다.
