We investigated the effect of Qi therapy (QT) on peripheral blood pressure (PBP), glucose, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and cortisol concentrations. Fourteen college students participated in receiving QT and placebo treatment. There were significant differences in embedding dimension of PBP. Plasma cortisol concentrations during QT were significantly lower than during control sessions (P

In this study, we attempted to quantify the relative importance of assumptions regarding blood rheology. Three patient-specific carotid bifurcation geometries and time-varying flow rates were obtained using magnetic resonance imaging. For each subject, CFD simulations were carried out assuming two different non-Newtonian rheology models Carreau and Ballyk models) and rescaled Newtonian viscosities based on characteristic shear rates to account for the shear-thinning property of blood. The sensitivity of WSS and oscillatory shear index (OSI) were contextualized with respect to the reproducibility of the reconstructed geometry and to assumptions regarding the inlet boundary conditions. We conclude that the assumption of Newtonian fluid is reasonable for studies aimed at quantifying the distribution of WSS-based extrema in an image-based CFD model of carotid bifurcation.

The encapsulation of the Purified bovine hemoglobin with Phospholipids obtained from egg folk was performed using a rotary vacuum evaporator. The prepared Hb-containing liposome (hemosome) had good properties as artificial red blood cell. The shape and size of the hemosomes were measured by a phase contrast microscope and image analyzer. The function of the hemosome as oxygen carrier was tested by measuring oxygen saturation curve with blood gas analyzer and infusing it into rats. The prepared hemosome was 1.184 + 0.423 ${\mu}m$ in diameter and round in shape. $P_{50}$ value of the hemosome solution was 28 mmHg. The synthesized red cells seem to function as oxygen carrier, because the severely bled rats were prolonged in their life by transfusion of the hemosome solution containing bovine hemoglobin.

The dietary carbohydrates are mainly digested and adsorbed at small intestine. We developed a new food additive as an egg yolk antibody(1gY) against maltase, sucrase and sodium dependent g1ucose cotransporter(SGLT) for the regulation of blood glucose level and weight control. The maltase, sucrase and SGLT were purified from porcine small intestine which is very similar to that of human in physiological characteristics. The purification step contained an ultracentrifugation, ion exchange chromatography and hydrophobic chromatography. The hens were immunized by purified protein and the IgY activities against immunized antigens were determined. This antibody obtained from the immunized hen's egg yolks directly inhibited the activities of maltase and sucrase in vitro. And the IgY delayed and decreased the increment of blood g1ucose level after administration of maltose, sucrose and glucose in rat about 30 to 60%. The results of this study suggest that the IgY inhibiting the carbohydrate digestion could be used as functional food materials for weight control and regulation of blood glucose level in diabetes.

The physiological systems have nonlinear complex phenomena. Expecially, the flow of capillary blood vessel has a nonlinear dynamic system. Thus, this study analyzes nonlinear characteristics of the flow of capillary blood vessel in physiological systems using chaotic tools(phase space reconstruction, correlation dimension, largest lyapunov exponent). Experimental data have been acquired from examining 10 rabbits. The results of chaotic analysis showed a decreasing largest lyapunov exponent and correlation dimension according to increasement glocose index. And we also know the chaotic behavior.

Ion beam enhanced deopsition(IBED) was adopted to synthesize biocompatible titanium oxide film. Structure characteristics of titanium oxide film were investigated by RBS, AES and XRD. The blood compatibility of the titanium oxide film was studied by measurements of blood clotting time and platelet adhesion. The results show that the anticoagulation property of titanium oxide film is improved significantly. The mechanism of anticoagulation of the titanium oxide film was discussed.

This experiment was conducted to determine the effects of extracts from fruit by-products on the blood characteristics, antioxidant activities, and immune response to Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in growing pigs. A total of 96 pigs [(Landrace ${\times}$ Yorkshire) ${\times}$ Duroc] with an initial BW of $27.94{\pm}0.92kg$ were used in a 6-week feeding trial. The pigs were randomly placed into one of four treatment groups with six replications (four pigs per replication) per treatment according to their initial BW. Treatments were: 1) CON (basal diet), 2) PRO (CON + 0.5% procyanidin), 3) HES (CON + 0.5% hesperetin), 4) TAN (CON + 0.5% tannin). At the end of the sixth week, five pigs (total 20 pigs, $BW=27.94{\pm}0.92kg$) were selected from each treatment and injected with LPS ($100{\mu}g/kg$ of BW). Blood samples were collected 3 h after LPS injection to assess anti-oxidative and inflammatory responses. After the LPS challenge, the concentration of serum cholesterol decreased with fruit by-product treatment compared with CON (p<0.05). The administration of TAN increased the concentration of blood total protein compared with the CON group 3 h after LPS challenge (p<0.05). The albumin concentration was also higher with PRO treatment compared to HES treatment (p<0.05). The concentration of IgM was increased by fruit by-product supplementation at 0 and 3 h (p<0.05). In addition, IgG concentration was higher in PRO, HES, and TAN treatments compared to CON treatment at 0 h, and IgG concentrations were also higher in the HES group compared to the CON group at 3 h (p<0.05). The concentration of IgA also increased with fruit by-product treatments at 3 h (p<0.05). In conclusion, dietary supplementation with fruit by-products may moderate the immune response after a LPS challenge in growing pigs.

본 실험은 육계의 서로 다른 농도의 에너지와 단백질이 생산성과 혈액성상 및 BMD에 미치는 영향을 구명하기 위하여 두 차례 실시하였다. 실험 1에서 총 480수의 Ross ${\times}$ Ross 병아리를 무작위로 6처리구(5반복; 16수/펜)로 나누어 배치하였다. 처리구는 사료 내 ME는 3,000, 3,100, 3,200 kcal/kg 수준으로 하였고 CP는 초기 22, 23%, 전기 20, 21%, 후기 18, 19% 수준으로 하였다. 실험 2에서는 실험 1과 유사하게 병아리와 CP를 적용하였으며, 사료 내 ME 수준을 변형하였다(초기 : 3,000, 3,050, 3,100 kcal/kg, 전기 : 3,050, 3,100, 3,150 kcal/kg, 후기 : 3,100, 3,150, 3,200 kcal/kg). 두 실험에서 처리구당 10수씩 혈액과 경골 샘플을 채취하였고, 혈액성상과 BMD를 분석하였다. 실험 1에서 증체량과 사료섭취량은 3,000 kcal/kg의 에너지를 급여한 처리구에서 증가되었다(P<0.05). 혈청 총 단백질과 albumin 농도는 CP의 수준이 증가함에 따라 수치적으로 증가하였다. 총 콜레스테롤과 HDL의 함유량은 에너지 함유량의 증가에 따라 수치적으로 증가하였다. 실험 2에서 증체량은 일관되게 에너지와 단백질 수준의 증가에 따라 수치적으로 증가하였다(초기 $3,000{\times}23$, 전기 $3,050{\times}21$, 후기 3,100 kcal/kg ME와 19% CP). 혈청 glucose 수준은 에너지 수준이 높아짐에 따라 증가됐다(P<0.05). 따라서 혈청 총 단백질, albumin, triglycerides, 총 콜레스테롤 그리고 HDL 함유량은 사료 에너지 증가에 따라 증가하는 경향이 있다.
