The purpose of the present study was to suggest the design requirements for Korean naval duty uniforms by evaluating the physiological and psychological comfort while wearing the uniforms. Two sets of wear trials were conducted with summer uniforms(eight young males) and winter uniforms(seven other young males). The summer wear trial consisted of 10-min rest, 60-min exercise, and 10-min recovery at an air temperature($T_{air} $) of $33^{\circ}C$ and 62%RH, followed by 10-min recovery at a $T_{air} $ of $23^{\circ}C$ and 64%RH(total 90 min). The winter wear trial consisted of 20-min rest at $T_{air} $ $20^{\circ}C$ and 55%RH, 25-min rest, 30-min exercise, and 35-min recovery at a $T_{air} $ of 0oC and 43%RH(total 110 min). Rectal and seven skin temperatures, clothing microclimate, heart rate, oxygen consumption, total sweat rate, and subjective perceptions were measured during the wear trials. By evaluating the experimental results from the wear trials, we extracted the following psycho-physiological design requirements to improve the current Korean naval uniforms: (1) It is important to maintain the skin temperatures within their comfort range, which depends on the body region (higher than $30^{\circ}C$ in winter, but less than $35^{\circ}C$ in summer). (2) In summer, the feet should be protected from the high heat of the ship floor surface. (3) In summer, sweat from the back should be sufficiently absorbed and allowed to dry quickly.

암 세포 주변의 저산소증은 방사선, 항암치료제, 절제술 등을 이용한 항암치료법에 중요한 역할을 하는데, 특히 암세포 주변의 모세혈관 내에서의 산소의 이동 분석은 암의 발달 및 전이, 주변 혈관의 생성과 변이에 직간접적 영향을 미친다. 따라서 현재 암 병변 주변의 모세혈관 내 헤모글로빈 산소포화도를 측정하고 혈관의 생성 및 변이상태를 측정하는 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있지만, 대부분의 계측장비는 침습적인 방법으로 진행되며, 해상도 또한 기대이하의 공간 및 시간영역을 제공하는 한계가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 비침습적 헤모글로빈 산소포화도 이미지와 다양한 이미지프로세싱 기법을 이용하여 실시간 혈관변화의 분석을 통해 암 혈관 생성 및 변이의 특성을 제공할 수 있는 초분광 이미징 시스템 활용 방법을 제시하고자 한다.

The characteristics of intake port flow and engine performance with swirl ratio variance in a turbocharged D.I. diesel engine were studied in this paper. The intake port flow is important factor which have influence on the engine performance and exhaust emission because the properties in the injected fuel depend on the combustion characteristics. Through these experiments it can be expected to satisfy performance and emission by optimizing the main parameters; the swirl ratio of intake port, injection timing and compression ratio. The swirl ratio for ports was modified by hand-working and measured by impulse swirl meter. For the effects on performance and emission, the brake torque and brake specific fuel consumption were measured by engine dynamometer, NOx and smoke were measured by gas analyzer and smoke meter. The results of steady flow test are as follows; as the valve eccentricity ratio are closed to cylinder wall, the flow coefficient and swirl intensity are increased. Also we realized that there is a trade-off that the increase of swirl ratio decreases mean flow coefficient and increases the Gulf factor. And the optimum parameters to meet performance and emission through engine test are as follows; the swirl ratio 2.43, injection timing BTDC 13oCA and compression ratio 15.5.

PRF001 is a fragmented DNA polymer extracted from the testes of salmon. The purpose of this study was to assess the anti-inflammatory effect of PRF001 in vitro as well as the protective effect of PRF001 intake against arthritis in a rat model. In vitro, cell survival and inflammatory markers after $H_2O_2$ treatment to induce cell damage were investigated in CHON-001 cells treated with different concentrations of PRF001. In vivo, osteoarthritis was induced by intra-articular injection of monosodium iodoacetate (MIA) into the knee joints of rats. After consumption of PRF001 (10, 50, or 100 mg/kg) for 4 weeks, inflammatory mediators and cytokines in articular cartilage were investigated. In vitro, the levels of inflammatory markers, $IL-1{\beta}$, $TNF-{\alpha}$, COX-2, iNOS, and PGE2, were significantly suppressed by PRF001 treatment. In vivo, the inflammatory mediators and cytokines, $IL-1{\beta}$, p-Erk1/2, $NF-{\kappa}B$, $TNF-{\alpha}$, COX-2, and PGE2, as well as MMP3 and MMP7, which have catabolic activity in chondrocytes, were decreased in the MIA-induced osteoarthritic rats following intake of PRF001. Histological analysis revealed that PRF001 had a protective effect on the articular cartilage. Altogether, these results demonstrated that the anti-inflammatory property of PRF001 contributes to its protective effects in osteoarthritis through deregulating $IL-1{\beta}$, $TNF-{\alpha}$, and subsequent signals, such as p-Erk1/2, $NF-{\kappa}B$, COX-2, PGE2, and MMPs.

배경: 호흡재활치료는 만성 폐질환 환자들의 폐기능을 호전시키지는 못하나 운동허용능(exercise tolerance)을 호전시키는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 이러한 운동허용능이 증가하는 것이 유산소운동 능력 (aerobic exercise capacity)이 중가하기 때문인지는 논란이 있으며, 아직 국내에서 는 호흡재활치료에 대한 보고가 없었다. 방법: 14명의 만성 폐질환 환자(만성폐쇄성폐질환 11명, 유육종증 1명, 기관지확장증 1명, 특발성 폐섬유화증 1명, 평균 연령 $57{\pm}4$세, 남자 12명, 여자 2명)를 대상으로 6 주간의 호흡재활치료를 시행하여 치료 전후의 폐기능과 운동허용능의 변화를 관찰하였다. 결과: 1) 대상 환자의 호흡재활치료 전 평균 노력성 폐활량(FVC), 1초간 노력성호기량($FEV_1$) 및 노력성 호기중간 기류량($FEF_{25-75%}$)은 각각 예측치의 $71.5{\pm}6.4%$, $40.6{\pm}3.4%$ 및 $19.3{\pm}3.8%$ 였으며, 총 폐용량(TLC), 기능적잔기용량(FRC) 및 잔기량(RV)은 각각 $130.3{\pm}9.3%$, $157.3{\pm}13.2%$ 및 $211.1{\pm}23.9%$이었고, 확산능(diffusing capacity) 및 최대 환기량(MVV)은 각각 $59.1{\pm}1.1%$ 및 $48.6{\pm}6.2%$이었다. 이들 각 폐기능의 지표들은 호흡재활치료 전후 유의한 변화는 없었다. 2) 자전거운동력측정계 (bicycle ergometer)를 이용한 운동부하 검사상 최대 운동량(maximum work rate)은 치료전 $57.7{\pm}4.9$ watts 에서 치료후 $64.8{\pm}6.0$ watts로(P=0.036), 최대산소섭취량($VO_2$ max)은 $0.81{\pm}0.07$ L/mm에서 $0.96{\mu}0.08$ L/mm로 (P=0.004), 무산소역치 (anaerobic threshold)는 $0.60{\pm}0.06$ L/mm 에서 $0.76{\mu}0.06$ L/min로(P=0.009) 호흡재활치료후 유의하게 증가하였다. 가스교환은 호흡재활치료 전후에 변화가 없었다. 3) 지구력시험 (endurance test)상 운동일(work)이 상지는 $4.5{\pm}0.7$ joule 에서 $14.8{\pm}2.4$ joule로 (P<0.001), 하지는 $25.4{\pm}5.7$ joule에서 $42.6{\pm}7.7$로 (P<0.001) 모두 재활치료 후 유의하게 증가하였다. 6분 보행거리는 $392{\pm}35$ 미터 에서 $459{\pm}33$ 미터로(P<0.001) 치료 후 연장되었고, 최대 흡기압도 $68.5{\pm}5.4$ $CmH_2O$에서 $80.4{\pm}6.4$ $CmH_2O$로 증가하였다(P<0.001). 결론: 만성 폐질환 환자에서 6주간의 호흡재활치료는 폐기능 및 가스교환을 호전시키지는 못하였지만 운동허용능(exercise tolerance)을 호전시키는 것으로 사료되었다.

Foodborne illness due to the consumption of contaminated raw strawberries is a continuing food safety concern. This study investigated and evaluated contamination levels of bacteria on strawberries at farms stage to evaluate potential hazards associated with fresh strawberries. A total of 315 samples, 105 samples from 5 sampling sites (A to E) of 21 farms and 210 samples from 1 sampling site of 6 farms, was collected every month for four months and analyzed to enumerate aerobic bacterial counts, Coliforms/E. coli, Bacillus cereus and Staphylococcus aureus. In addition, the prevalence study of five pathogens (S. aureus, E. coli, E. coli O157:H7, Salmonella spp. and Listeria monocytogenes) was performed on each sample. Aerobic bacterial counts ranged from 0.48 to 6.36 Log CFU/g, with the highest bacterial cell counts recorded for D and E sites. Coliforms were detected in 71 samples (22.5%) with a minimum of 0.48 cfu/g and a maximum of more than 4 Log CFU/g. B. cereus was detected in 98 samples (31.1%) among total samples analyzed. S. aureus was detected in 2 samples with a minimum of 0.48 Log CFU/g and a maximum of 1.38 Log CFU/g. E. coli, E. coli O157:H7, Salmonella spp. and L. monocytogenes were not isolated from any of the samples. The microbial contamination levels of strawberries determined in this study may be used as the fundamental data for microbiological risk assessment.

Supplement of high-protein food plays an important role in improving the symptoms of malnutrition and the immune capacity of the body, but the association of high-protein diet and gut microbiota remained unaddressed. Here, we systematically analyzed the internal organs and gut microbiota in C57(WT) or PD-1H-depleted (KO) mice (T cells were activated) fed with pupae or feed for six weeks. We observed that the body weight gain in the mice fed with pupae increased less significantly than that of the feed group, while the villi and small intestine lengths in the pupa group were reduced compared with that of mice given feed. However, the average body weight of the KO mice increased compared with that of the WT mice fed with pupae or feed. Pupae increased the concentration of blood glucose in WT, but not in KO mice. Moreover, in the feed group, there was no difference in the weight of the internal organs between the WT and KO mice, but in the pupae-fed group, liver weight was decreased and spleen weight was increased compared with that of KO mice. The amounts/plural/amounts of Melainabacteria, Chloroflexi, and Armatimonadetes were specifically upregulated by pupae, and this upregulation was weakened or eliminated by PD-1H depletion. Some bacteria with high abundance in the feed-fed KO mice, such as Deferribacteres, Melainabacteria, Acidobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Spirochaetes and Verrucomicrobia, were decreased in pupae-fed KO mice, and Proteobacteria and Deinococcus were specifically enriched in pupae-fed KO mice. Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes and Akkermansia were associated with weight loss in the pupae-fed group while Lachnospiraceae and Anaerobiospirillum were related glucose metabolism and energy consumption. Based on high-throughput sequencing, we discovered that some gut bacteria specifically regulated the metabolism of a high-protein diet, and PD-1H deficiency improved life quality and sustained blood glucose. Moreover, PD-1H responses to high-protein diet through modulating the type and quantity of gut bacteria. These findings provide evidence about the association among gut microbiota, T cell activation (for PD-1H depletion) and high-protein diet metabolism, have important theoretical significance for nutrition and health research.

Objective: A pivotal study was designed to investigate the effect of Hydroxy (HYC) Cu, Zn, and Mn on egg quality and laying performance of chickens under tropical conditions. Methods: A total of 1,260 Babcock White laying hens (20-wk-old) were randomly assigned to one of 4 treatments with 15 replicates of 21 hens each in a Randomized Complete Block Design. The birds were reared for 16 weeks and were fed the corn-soybean meal diets supplemented with one of the following mineral treatments: T1, inorganic (INO, 15 ppm CuSO4, 80ppm MnSO4 and 80 ppm ZnO); T2, Hydroxy-nutritional level (HYC-Nut, 15 ppm Cu, 80 ppm Mn, 80 ppm Zn from Hydroxy); T3, Hydroxy-Low (HYC-Low, 15 ppm Cu, 60 ppm Mn, 60 ppm Zn from Hydroxy); T4, Hydroxy plus inorganic (HYC+INO, 7.5 ppm HYC Cu+7.5 ppm CuSO4, 40 ppm HYC ZnO+40 ppm ZnSO4, 40 ppm HYC Mn+40 ppm MnSO4). The egg production was recorded daily, while the feed consumption, feed conversion ratio (FCR) and egg mass were determined at the end of each laying period. The egg quality parameters were assayed in eggs collected over 48 h in each laying period. Results: Overall, no significant effect of treatments was observed on percent egg production, egg weight and FCR (p>0.05). Feed intake was significantly lower in birds fed Hydroxy plus inorganic (p<0.05) diet. The supplementation of HYC-Low significantly increased the egg mass compared to the other treatments (p<0.05). HYC supplementation alone or in combination with INO elicited a positive effect on shell thickness, shell weight, shell weight per unit surface area, yolk colour, albumen and yolk index for a certain period (p<0.05), but not throughout the whole laying period. Conclusion: Dietary supplementation of HYC-Low (15-60-60 mg/kg) showed similar effects on production performance and egg quality characteristics in laying hens as compared to 15-80-80 mg/kg of Cu-Zn-Mn from inorganic sources. This indicates that sulphate based inorganic trace minerals can effectively be substituted by lower concentration of hydroxyl minerals.
