Environment friendly agricultural material products (EFAMs) in current market were evaluated for their insecticidal or acaricidal activities. EFAMs were evaluated against Tetranychus urticae, Plutella xylostella, Myzus persicae and Nilaparvata lugens in spray method. Several EFAMs indicated high control value in spray method. Hatchability of T. urticae was relatively high after EFAM treatment. some materials show high insecticidal activities against P. xylostella larvae but not against eggs. Few mete rials showed more than 80% insecticidal activities against M. persicae and N. lugen. The control value of more than half the materials for pest control was lower than 60%. EFAMs containing S. flavescens, neem oil and Rape showed higher control value.

Objectives : This study evaluated the effect of Dioscoreae Rhizoma on antioxidant and antimicrobial activity in vitro. Methods : In vitro experiments were made on antioxidant by DPPH radical scavenging activity, enzyme activity of SOD, protective effect about $H_2O_2$ and DNA fragmentation in RAW264.7 cells, as well as antimicrobial by Cox-2 expression in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells. Results : 1. Dioscoreae Rhizoma's antioxidant ability was improved by DPPH radical scavenging activity. 2. Antioxidant ability of Dioscoreae Rhizoma produced good results at more than 0.025 mg/$m{\ell}$. 3. On protective effect of Dioscoreae Rhizoma about $H_2O_2$ on RAW264.7 cells, with addition of Dioscoreae Rhizoma extract the cells' survival increased compared to adding $H_2O_2$ only. 4. About revelation-control of Cox-2 at RAW264.7 cells which induce by LPS, when Dioscoreae Rhizoma's concentration was higher from 0.0125 mg/$m{\ell}$ to 1 mg/$m{\ell}$, its control activity was stronger. Thus we found Dioscoreae Rhizoma has antimicrobial activity. 5. The power of DNA fragmentation control of Dioscoreae Rhizoma was time-independent. Conclusions : From this study we conclude that Dioscoreae Rhizoma has effects on antioxidant and antimicrobial activity. However, considerable work still needs to be done studying antioxidants by concentration, as well as a variety of experiments about antimicrobial activity.

Purpose: The study compared the muscle activity and ratio of upper trapezius (UT) to lower trapezius (LT) activity between acute and chronic whiplash-associated disorder (WAD) patients. Methods: Twelve healthy (male: 7), 14 acute WAD (male: 7), and 11 chronic WAD (male: 3) volunteers participated in this study. Electromyography using a surface EMG recorded the activity of the upper trapezius and lower trapezius of both shoulders (dominant and non-dominant) during $120^{\circ}$ elevation when standing and shoulder depression when sitting. The testing order was selected randomly. Subjects were asked to maintain each experimental position for 5 seconds at end range. EMG activity was normalized using the maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) elicited using a manual muscle-testing technique. One-way repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare the average root mean square (RMS) value of EMG activity for each condition. Results: The EMG activity of the dominant UT for chronic WAD subjects was significantly higher than for acute WAD subjects during $120^{\circ}$ elevation (p<.05). The EMG activity of the dominant LT for acute WAD subjects was significantly lower than for the control group (p<.05) during $120^{\circ}$ elevation. The EMG activity of the dominant LT for WAD patients was significantly lower than for the control group during shoulder depression (p<.05), and the chronic WAD patients scored significantly the lowest (p<.01). The dominant UT/LT for chronic WAD patients was significantly higher than the ratio for acute WAD subjects during shoulder depression (p<.05); this result was higher than for the control group (p<.01). The non-dominant UT/LT (ratio) for chronic WAD patients was significantly higher than the ratio for acute WAD subjects during shoulder depression (p<.05). Conclusion: The UT for chronic WAD subjects was hyperactive when compared to the acute WAD subjects, and the was hypoactive for both acute and chronic patients, therefore intra-trapezius imbalance was more prevalent during shoulder depression.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of soybean on blood glucose and lipid concentrations, and antioxidant enzyme activity in type 2 diabetes mellitus(DM) patients. We divided patients into two groups and fed them, respectively, a basal diet(control group) and a basal diet with 69 g/d of soybean(soybean group) for 4 weeks. Pills with roasted soybean powder were provided to the soybean supplementation group three times a day. Macronutrients intake except dietary fiber was similar between the two groups. No significant differences were observed in dietary intakes or body weight before and after the supplementation. Energy composition ratio of C:F:P was 65:19:16 in the control group, 64:20:16 in the soybean group. The blood parameters of subjects before supplementation, such as fasting blood glucose, postprandial glucose level, total cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL-cholesterol and $HbA_1C$ were not different between the two groups. After supplementation, fasting blood glucose(p<0.001), postprandial glucose level(p<0.001) and serum triglyceride level(p<0.05) were significantly reduced in the soybean group in comparison with the control group. The total cholesterol level was not significantly different between the control and the supplemented group after 4 weeks of treatment. TBARS levels of the soybean group were not significantly different from those of the control group. The activities of catalase(p<0.01) and glutathione peroxidase(p<0.05) were significantly higher in the soybean group compared to the control group. The results of this study suggest that soybean supplementation would be helpful to control blood glucose and serum lipid in diabetic patients. Also, soybean showed an antioxidant activity that may contribute to enhance the effect of antioxidant defense. This activity contributes to protection against oxidative damage in type 2 DM patients. Soybean may have potential use in the disease management of patients with DM.

준저리콩, 익산콩을 사용하여 콩나물 재배 과정 중 유리당 함량변화와 lipoxygenase activity 변화를 측정하였고, 키토산 처리가 이들에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 재배 3일째 자엽에서 sucrose는 71% 감소하였고 배축은 59%가 감소하여 배축보다는 자엽에서 더 빠른 감소 경향을 볼 수 있었다. Raffinose와 stachyose는 재배 초기 빠른 속도로 감소하다 이 후 감소가 완만해졌으며 배축보다는 자엽에서의 분해속도가 빠르게 나타났다. 키토산을 처리하여 콩나물을 재배하였을 때 4일 후 분해되지 않은 유리당이 sucrose와 raffinose의 경우 키토산 처리구가 대조구보다 각각 9.8, 16% 정도 많이 남아 있었으나, stachyose의 경우 대조구에 18%정도 많이 잔존하였다. Lipoxygenase activity는 L-2/3보다 L-1의 activity가 높게 나타났으며, 24시간 침지후 자엽의 L-1 activity가 1207 unit/mg에서 2072 unit/mg으로 높아졌으나 발아가 진행되면서 activity는 감소하였다. L-2/3의 activity는 재배 초기에 자엽에서 492 unit/mg, 배축에서 67 unit/mg이였으나, 재배 5일 후에는 자엽과 배축의 activity가 42, 82% 각각 감소하였다. 키토산 처리가 lipoxygenase activity에 미치는 영향을 보면 off-flavor 형성과 밀접한 관련이 있는 L-2/3 activity가 재배 5일 후 대조구 83 unit/mg, 키토산 처리구 56 unit/mg 으로 되어 키토산 처리구의 활성이 낮았다.

This study examined the differences of elderly workers' psychological well-being according to gender and explored the variables which account for their psychological well-being. Paid laborers aged 60 or older(eight-five men and nine-eight females) were interviewed. The psychological well-being of male workers was higher than that of the female workers. The control level of activity and family support were the variables that explained the psychological well-being of male paid workers. The higher the control level of activity was, and the more support given from family, the higher the psychological well-being scores they showed. Educational level, demand level of activity, and material reward determined the psychological well-being of female workers. The higher their educational level was, the lower the demand level of activity was, and the fewer rewards they received from paid work, the higher their psychological well-being was.

Extract of Japanese red pine needles has been used in Asia pacific regions since long periods believing its valuable properties as tonic and ability of curing diseases of unidentified symptoms. Some selective compounds present in the extract and their effects were analyzed. Carbohydrates and vitamin c were identified using HPLC; terpenoid compounds by GC-MS; anti-bacterial analysis by paper discs, plates count and gastrointestinal motility by whole cell patch clamp. The extract is a mixture of compounds therefore its diverse effect was expected. Self-fermentation in extract proceeds after spontaneous appearance of yeast strains without inoculation. Effects and composition of the extract vary with varying period of self-fermentation. Extract inhibits the growth of bacteria dose dependently exhibiting its antibacterial properties however effectiveness increases with increase in fermentation period. The extract also can modulate gastrointestinal motility in murine small intestine by modulating pace maker currents in ICC mediated through ATP sensitive potassium channel.

Antifungal activity of three Myxococcus spp., KYC 1126, 1136, and 2001, was tested in vitro against three phytopathogenic fungi (Botrytis cinerea, Colletotrichum acutatum, and Pyricularia grisea). Spore germination and mycelial growth of the three pathogenic fungi were completely inhibited by bioactive substances from a myxobacterium KYC 1126. In addition, the activity of KYC 1126 was fungicidal, but liquid culture filtrate of KYC 1126 did not affect protoplast reversion in C. acutatum. A bioassay of KYC 1126 filtrate against anthracnose in hot pepper was conducted in the greenhouse and field at 2009 and 2010. The incidence of anthracnose in control seedlings was 74%, but was reduced to 29% after KYC 1126 treatment. The control value with KYC 1126 was 60% while that with the fungicide dithianon was 42%. In the greenhouse, disease incidence with KYC 1126 was consistentely 10-35% lower than with fungicide as a positive control. The control value with KYC 1126 was 13.4% and 41.0%, whereas that with the fungicide was 52.3% and 63% in 2009 and 2010, respectively. Although anti-anthracnose activity of KYC 1126 was not maintained for long time in the field, the bacteriolytic myxobacterium KYC 1126 could be a prospective biocontrol agent.
