  • The ultrastructures of in vitro-derived bovine blastocysts have been compared with those of blastocysts obtained from a superovulated cow. In vivo blastocysts obtained from the uterus showed well-differentiated features, while in vitro-derived embryos, which were developed from in vitro fertilized ovum, showed insufficient cellular organizations. In vitro-derived embryos contained many undefined cellular organizations in the perivitelline spaces compared with in vivo-derived blastocysts. Other features of in vivo and in vitro blastocysts were characterized by differential development of microvilli projection into blastocoele from the surface of the trophoblast cells. The conceivable reason for the difference between in vivo and in vitro developments of bovine embryos is that it is likely that in vitro culture system adopted in the present experiment may not be sufficient for better embryonic development.

  • Physical inactivity has reached epidemic levels in developed countries and is being recognized as a serious public health problem. Recent evidence shows a high percentages of individuals worldwide who are physically inactive, i.e. do not achieve the WHO's present recommendation of 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous intensity per week in addition to usual activities. Living in sedentary lifestyle is one of the leading causes of deaths and a high risk factor for several chronic diseases, like cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes type 2, and osteoporosis. This article summarizes evidence for relative risk of the civilization diseases attributable to physical inactivity and the most important conclusions available from the recent investigations computing the economic costs specific to physical inactivity. The findings provide health and economic arguments needed for people to understand the meaning of a sedentary lifestyle. This may be also useful for public health policy in the creation of programmes for prevention of physical inactivity.

  • The purpose of this study is to provide the basic data for Dietary Lifary Life and Culture. The frequency and percentage, x2-test and one-way ANOVA and scheffe-test for post-hoc analysis is used to evaluate our purpose by running SPSS/PC+ program. The major results are as follows: Most of the Traditional rites, Custome, and Foods are still remain as day used to be. But a few of those are changing now. That is, in the case of The Traditional Rites, peoples are not frequently participated in [The calebration of one's coming of age(2.4 out of 5.0] Regarding to the custom of Traditional Rites, most of that are the same situation with The Traditional Rites expect which have traditional supersition factor. The significant family environmental variables on satisfaction at using of professional agency bussiness for the Traditional Rites Foods are [the housewife's age(p<01], [the housewife's education(p<01] But the degree of the people's satisfaction at that is below average.

  • Color(and appearance)is one of the most important visual attributes in food. The favorite color of food is depend on the nation and its culture. Unfortunately the word on color ash superseded appearance as the description of the total visual perception of food. The optical properties are color, gloss, translucency, the uniformity of these attributes over the surface of the product, and the appearance boundary condition visual flavor. The major purpose of this lecture is to stress the importance of color and gloss on the basis of sensory evaluation for vegetables and these cooking process. These points are as follows: 1. Color and palatability Principle of cooking ; five tastes and five colors 2. Pigments and colorimeter Plant pigments ; Chlorophyll, Carotinoid, Anthocyan Optical properties and colorimeter Correlating instrumental and pigments data 3. Color, gloss of vegetables Effect of color and gloss on several cooking treatments 4. The importance of color of foods to the food industry and consumer

  • The present study replaced Atarigoma with Korea &Chinese sesame values a nd analyzed basic data on various mook to develop Korea's food culture. Contents of oleic acid and linolenic acid in sesame seed were 42.31% and 48.18%, respectively, with a total moisture content of 89.5%. As storage temperature increased, moisture content increased. Cohesiveness and springiness decreased gradually at $4^{\circ}C$ and increased at $20^{\circ}C$, whereas gumminess and chewiness increased at $4^{\circ}C$ and gradually decreased at $20^{\circ}C$. Overall acceptability scores of Japanese and Korean arrowroot starch sesame mook were 7.20 and 7.10, respectively. Korea and Japanese Sesame can be substituted for sweet potato starch, potato starch, and arrowroot starch.

  • Fifty samples of indigenous dahi were collected randomly from the local market of Rawalpindi/Islamabad to determine the incidence of lactic acid bacteria. The micro-organisms isolated were Lactobacillus bulgaricus (86%), Streptococcus themophilus (80%), Streptococcus lactis (74%), Lactobacillus helveticus (34%), Streptococcus cremoris (30%), Lactobacillus casei (20%) and Lactobacillus acidophilus (14%) respectively. The results of the present study revealed that indigenous dahi contains mixtures of lactic acid bacteria and thus the quality of dahi may vary with the type of starter culture used for inoculation.

  • Increasingly it is being realized that despite considerable advancements in therapeutic interventions related to treatment of cancer, satisfactory results are still difficult to achieve. Rapidly accumulating evidence has started to shed light on the fact that cancer cells escape from death via constitutive activation of pro-survival signaling cascades. Cell biology and genetics have extensively enhanced our current understanding of the molecular mechanisms that underlie loss of apoptosis in cancer cells. This review is focused on ionizing radiation mediated restoration of TRAIL mediated apoptosis as evidenced by cell culture and animal model studies. Moreover, we also bring to the limelight radiation induced expression of miRNAs and how miRNAs further control response of cancer cells to radiation.

  • Over the years, the embryo transfer industry has grown from the simple collection & transfer of embryos into an advanced field of embryo biotechnology. Currently a large demand exists for bovine oocytes and early embryos in both research and commercial settings. Bovine embryos can now be produced in-vitro. Primary oocytes collected from antral follicles of abattoir - obtained ovaries can be induced to undergo the maturation process. In-vitor maturation system, however must ensure that the resulting oocyte is capable of undergoing normal fertilization and yields a zygote competent of developing to term after embryo transfer. Sperm preparation for IVF has improved with the use of heparine. The use of co-culture system has proved beneficial in circumventing the developmental block in IVM/IVF bovine embryos.

  • Linzhi Native Pig is a unique local breed recently discovered in the hinterland of Tibet. Its geological distribution, natural environment and ecological conditions have been explored. Using random sampling in typical colony of classification and standard animal-scientific and biogenetic techniques, we examined its contour features, size and weight, reproductive performances, carcass characters, meat quality, fresh-keeping features and the frequency distribution in the 19 structural gene loci encoding enzymes and proteins; according to folklores and Tibetan, Chinese and English history books, the materials and literature of Tibetan Studies, we have analyzed its origin and affirmed the fact that its products have been consumed as Tibetan medicine resources. Our findings make certain that Linzhi Native Pig holds great potential value in economy and culture.

  • Technologies on preimplantation porcine embryos have been developed quickly and significantly. Successful development of systems for culture of porcine zygotes to the blastocyst stage has made it possible to utilize follicular oocytes for in vitro production of embryos and thus stimulated research on various embryo technologies. Recent technological development of embryo cryopreservation, separation of X- and Y-bearing spermatozoa and non-surgical embryo transfer has also made it easy to utilize in vivo- and in vitro-produced embryos for artificial manipulation to produce clones and transgenic pigs. Further progress in overcoming various problems associated with each embryo technology will result in acceptable efficiency to utilize porcine embryos with a high or increased quality. Combining these technologies will accelerate further expansion of the swine industry not only for meat production but also for the production of therapeutic recombinant proteins and xonografts.
