Eggs obtained from 46 and 42 weeks old meat (Hybro) and layer (Leghorn) breeders flocks, respectively were used to examine the effects of genetic type of birds and egg size (small, medium and large) on variables of eggshell characteristics and hatchability traits. The variables measured were egg weight (EW), egg surface area (ESA) and eggshell characteristics (shell conductance (EC), per cent shell (PS), shell thickness (ST), shell volume (SV), shell density (SD) and hatchability traits (per cent hatchability (HP), early dead embryos (ED), late dead embryos (LD), pips with live embryos (PL) and pips with dead embryos (PD)). Genetic type of bird influenced all egg characteristics and HP of eggs. Eggs produced by the small Leghorn bird had lower EW, ESA, EC, ST, SV and HP than those produced by the heavy Hybro bird. The reduction of HP was associated with an increase in the percentage of ED and PL. Egg size influenced all variables measured except ST. Small size eggs had lower EW, ESA and EC and higher PS and SD than those of large eggs. Medium size eggs produced a higher HP when compared with that of large size eggs. The reduction of HP in large eggs was associated with higher percentage of ED, LD and PL. There were significant interactions between the genetic group of birds and egg size on LD and HP. Large egg size of Hybro birds had higher LD and lower HP than those of small size eggs produced by the same flock. However, There was no difference in HP and LD among the different egg sizes produced by Leghorn birds. It was concluded that genetic make up of birds and egg size influence eggshell characteristics and HP. The type of bird (heavy or small) influences the optimum egg size for successful hatching. Attention should be given to the size and eggshell characteristics of eggs of breeders' flocks for achieving maximum HP.

Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the independent factors associated with the registration rate for the community-based post suicidal care program in the emergency department (ED). Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted between January and September 2015 at the academic ED in the tertiary urban hospital. The variables examined included gender, age, address, type of insurance, history of previous psychiatric disease, suicide methods, number of previous attempts, CES-D (The Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale), and disposition at ED. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were conducted to identify factors affecting the registration rate for the community-based post suicidal care program. Results: Overall, 331 suicides were investigated, 61 (18.4%) of which were registered in the post-suicide care program. Factors such as a intervention by psychiatric physician (OR: 3.287, 95%; CI: 1.207-9.624) and levels of depression by CES-D score of 16-24 (OR: 3.635; CI: 1.055-12.526) were significantly correlated with registration for the program. Conclusion: The registration rate for the community-based post suicidal care program was influenced by frequent intervention by a psychiatric physician and levels of depression by CES-D score of 16-24.

A study was made on enzymes of carbohydrate metabolism in T. concretivorus grown with and without glucose. The present results show that T. concretivorus possesses high activities of pentose shunt pathway and related enzymes, glucokinase, G-6-P dehydrogenase, 6-PG dehydrogenase, and phosphoglucoisomerase, but low activities of enzymes unique to EMP(fructose-1, 6-diphosphate aldolase). Although the synthesis of the latter enzymes remains largely unaffected by the growth enviroment, that of the former is stimulated by glucose. And the failure to detect ED pathway enzymes in cells grown in thiosulate or thiosulfate-glucose medium eliminates the ED pathway as a significant route of glucose catabolism in T.concretivorus. These results suggest that pentose shunt pathway performs an energetic role in glucose metabolism by T.concretivorus with EMP as a subway. The absence of ED pathway and the presence of pentose shunt pathway which is the major route of catabolism in T.concretivorus are similar to those of other obligately chemolitho-trophic thiobacilli. The G-6-P and 6-PG dehydrogenase are both NAD and NADP specific, but MAD predominant. However, the 3-PGAL dehydrogenase is only NAD specific. Since the specific activity of 3-PGAL generated from glucose is converted mainly into pyruvate which is channeled into the TCA cycle. All enzymes of the TCA cycle tested and NADH oxidase are detected in the cells of T.concretivorus grown in thiosulfate. The specific activities of fumarase and isocitrate dehydrogenase are high and others are low. The presence of two isocitrate dehydrogenase (NAD-and NADP-linked) may have important regulatory function for this organism. The activity of NAD-oxidase, which is implicated in the energy generating metabolism, was very high in the crude cell-free extract of T.concretivorus, recording 55.11 m$\mu$ mole/min/mg protein. This well coincides with the fact that activities of NAD-linked G-6-P dehydrogenase, 6-PG dehydrogenase and 3-PGAL dehydrogenase were high.

Objectives: Pain is considered as a cause of sickness and the most prevalent symptom which makes people visit a physician. Nowadays, combination therapy is becoming useful to relieve chronic and postsurgical pain. The aim of this study was to study the promethazine (as an antihistamine) interactions with antinociceptive effect of diclofenac (as a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). Methods: In initial part of the study, we investigate the analgesic effect of diclofenac. Using writhing test, we demonstrate that diclofenac significantly reduces writhe response induced by acetic acid in a dose-dependent manner. In this study, we evaluate the combination effect of promethazine on diclofenac analgesic effect. Results: We observed that diclofenac inhibited pain in the dose dependent manner which means that by increasing dose of diclofenac a significant decrease in pain was observed. This experimental setup allowed calculation of the dose that caused 50% antinociception (ED50) for diclofenac. The ED50 for diclofenac in this study was determined to be 9.1 mg/kg according our previous study. Additionally, promethazine was showed a dose-dependent inhibition of writhes. The combination of different doses of promethazine (2, 4, 6 mg / kg) with diclofenac ED50 (9.1 mg / kg) was injected to mice. Promethazine 4 and 6 mg / kg in combination with diclofenac had significantly led to increase analgesic effect of diclofenac. Conclusion: In conclusion, these results add important information to the existing knowledge on combination of diclofenac and antihistamine in pain therapies to be used in clinical practice and maybe helpful in designing the future guidelines.

Purpose: This study was conducted in order to determine the relationship between the number of portable X-rays and the radiation exposure dose for emergency medical service providers working in the emergency department (ED). Methods: A prospective study was conducted from February 15, 2013 to May 15, 2013 in the ED in an urban hospital. Six residents, seven emergency medical technicians (EMT), and 24 nurses were enrolled. They wore a personal radiation dosimeter on their upper chest while working in the ED, and they stayed away from the portable X-ray unit at a distance of at least 1.8 m when the X-ray beam was generated. Results: The total number of portable x-rays was 2089. The average total radiation exposure dose of emergency medical service providers was $0.504{\pm}0.037$ mSv, and it was highest in the EMT group, 0.85(0.58-1.08) mSv. The average of the total number of portable X-rays was highest in the doctor group, 728.5(657.25-809). The relationship between the number of portable X-rays and the radiation exposure dose was not statistically significant(-0.186, p=0.269). Conclusion: Under the condition of staying away from the portable X-ray unit at a distance of least 1.8 m, the relationship between the number of portable X-rays and the radiation exposure dose was not statistically significant.

본 연구는 인간의 체외수정 program으로 부터 생산된 여분의 배반포기 배를 이용하여 현미경에 의한 형태학적 판정과 differential labelling 기법을 이용한 세포 수의 상관관계를 조사하고자 실시하였다. 공시된 인간 배반포기 배는 체외수정 후 5일째에 36명의 환자로부터 76개를 얻어 배반포강의 확대와 투명대 두께의 감소를 기준으로 early (ErB), early expanding (BEB), middle expanding (MEB) 및 expanded blastocyst (EdB)로 구분하였다. 분류된 배반포기 배의 크기와 투명대의 두께를 micrometer로 측정하였을 때, 그 크기는 각각 $148.8-217.6{\mu}m$, $1.2-14.4{\mu}m$로 나타나 같은 배양조건에서 생산된 배아라도 그 차이는 크게 나타났다. Hoechst 염색을 이용하여 배반포기 배의 총 세포수를 조사하였을 때, 체외수정 후 5일째 생산된 배반포기 배는 ErB $(39.1{\pm}3.6)$ 에서 EdB $(89.6{\pm}3.3)$ 로 진행되는 동안 두배에서 세배정도 증가되는 양상을 나타내었다. 또한, differential labelling기법 을 이용한 배반포기 배의 inner cell mass (ICM) 와 trophectoderm (TE) 세포수 조사 결과, 각각 $11.9{\pm}1.8-22.2{\pm}4.3$, $24.5{\pm}3.6-70.0{\pm}7.7$을 나타내어 발달이 진행될수록 ICM과 TE세포수도 증가되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 특히, 형태학적으로 약한 ICM으로 판정된 EdB의 경우 differential labelling 후, 역시 적은 ICM 세포수를 나타내어 형태학적 판정과 세포수간에 밀접한 상관관계가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서, ICM과 TE를 differential labelling하는 기법은 인간 배반포기 배의 quality를 평가하는데 매우 유용한 기법으로 형태학적인 구분과 병용된다면 인간 배반포기 배 이식 program의 임신율 증진을 위한 배아 선별의 중요한 자료로서 이용될 수 있다는 것을 시사한다.

A series of N-Cbz${alpha}$-aminosucinimides (1), combining common moieties of various anticonvulsants such as N-CO-C-N and cyclic imide in a single molecule, were synthesized from the corresponding (R)- and (S)-N-Cbz-aspartic acid (2). And their in vivo anticonvulsant evaluations in MES and PTZ test were investigated. And also the rotorod test for neurotoxicity was investigated. All the tested compounds (1), except 1c and 1f, showed significant anticonvulsant activities in both MES and PTZ test. And the most active compound among them in MES test was (R)-N-Cbz-${alpha}$-amino-N-methylsuccinimide (1b) $(ED_50/=52.5 mg/kg)$ and (S)-N-Cbz-aminosuccinimide((1d) was most active in PTZ test $(ED_50/=78.1 mg/kg)$. And the $TD_50$ values of the tested compounds were above 117.5 mg/kg. These pharmacological data were comparable to those of currently available anticonvulsants. And also we found that the pharmacological effects were dependent on their N-substituted alkyl chains and their stereochemistry.

The purpose of this study was to analyse the recognition and preference level associated with the preservation of Korean traditional health food. Self-administered questionnaires were collected from 289 individuals. The data was statistically analysed using I-test as well as the one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). We studied whether or not respondents had the constitutional cuisine before Ed-comments : Please complete the sentence. Before what?. Twenty-two kinds of Korean traditional foods were randomly selected based on old cookbooks, and then recognition and preference of Korea traditional constitutional cuisine were asked. The tasting experience in the constitutional cuisine affected recognition and preference significantly. The coefficients of recognition and preference were the highest in Junbokjoog ($4.20{\pm}1.00$), Yookgejang ($4.18{\pm}1.03$), Jangagui ($4.05{\pm}1.17$), Origui ($3.97{\pm}1.19$) and Samgeitang ($3.94{\pm}1.15$). Ed-comment : Please check if this value is correct. There are two decimal points. Bosintang ($1.81{\pm}1.60$) showed a low preference compared to high recognition, and was therefore considered to be enthusiasts' cuisine only. It is believed that promoting the greater awareness of Korean traditional constitutional cuisine through the mass media would result in a higher recognition and preference of the same.

1. Benomyl은 버섯류(類)의 균사생장(菌絲生長)을 억제(抑制)하였는데 $ED_{50}$은 Pleurotus spp. 25ppm, Agaricus bisporus 50ppm, Flammulina velutipes 200ppm으로서 Pleurotus spp.가 benomyl에 대하여 감수성(感受性)이 가장 높았다. 2. Benomyl 함유배지(含有培地)에서 계대배양(繼代培養)할 때 5세대(世代) 및 10세대(世代)에는 1세대(世代)보다 균사생장(菌絲生長)이 증가(增加)하였고 생장증가율(生長增加率)은 명(各) 버섯균(菌)의 benomyl $ED_{50}$농도(濃度)에서 가장 높았다. 3. Benomyl 처리(處理) 배지(培地)에서의 계대별(繼代別) 균사생장(菌絲生長)은 균(菌)의 종류(種類)에 따라 달라서 P. florida는 5세대(世代), Agricus bisporus는 7대(代)까지는 균사생장(菌絲生長)이 증가(增加)하다가 그후 감소(減少)하는 경향(傾向)이었다. 4. Benomyl의 계속처리(繼續處理)는 mutant sector의 발생(發生)을 유기(誘起)하였는데 sector의 출현(出現)은 benomyl의 처리농도(處理濃度)가 낮을때 빨랐으며 P. ostreatus가 P. florida 보다 빨랐다. 5. Benomyl에 의해 유기(誘起)된 mutant sector는 약제(藥劑)에 계속처리(繼續處理)된 모(母) colony 보다 균사생장(菌絲生長)이 빨랐으나 benomyl에 대한 저항성(抵抗性)에는 차이(差異)가 없었다. benomyl란 함유배지(含有培地)에서 계대배양시(繼代培養時) 정상(正常) colony에서 보인 균사생장(菌絲生長)의 증가(增加)는 약제저항성(藥劑抵抗性)에 기인(起因)하는 것이었다.
