To evaluate the effect of different housing systems on sow behavior, 80 gilts were randomly allocated at puberty to four treatments: i) sow stall in gestation followed by farrowing crate (SC), ii) group housing with individual feeding in gestation followed by farrowing crate (GC), iii) ESF (Electronic Sow Feeding) system in gestation followed by farrowing crate (EC), and iv) ESF system followed by group farrowing pen (EG). Behavioral observations were carried out on a total of 16 animals per treatment at the following stages: first day of allocation to housing treatment, day of service, 80 days after service, 109 days after service on entry to farrowing accommodation, 24 h before farrowing, day of farrowing, 14, 27 and 28 days after farrowing, at weaning. On each occasion, individual animals were observed for a 24 period with one minute time sampling. There were significant differences (p<0.001) between stages of the reproductive cycle for all the behavior patterns in all treatments. On the first day in experimental housing treatments, sows spent more time rooting and dog-sitting. Activity and investigatory behavior decreased as pregnancy progressed. An activity peak was apparent just before farrowing, followed by a high level of inactivity on the day of farrowing. Time spent active, eating and drinking increased as lactation progressed, and greatest activity and locomotion was seen immediately following weaning. There were significant differences between housing treatments (p<0.01) for standing, moving, eating, drinking, dog-sitting and lying. During pregnancy SC sows spent more time standing, rooting, drinking and dog sitting, while EC sows spent less time rooting and drinking and more time lying. During lactation, GC sows spent more time standing, moving and eating, less time dog sitting and lateral lying. Nursing frequency was reduced in GC sows (p<0.001). The maternal and piglet behaviors were influenced strongly by environment during lactation. However, it was also shown that previous housing history can influence the maternal behavior in the pre-farrowing stage and during early lactation.

These experiments were conducted to evaluate the feeding value of rice protein concentrate (RPC) in weaning pigs. In expt. I, a 5-week feeding trial was conducted with 126 pigs (L${\times}$Y${\times}$D; 21 d-old; 5.32${\pm}$0.34 kg). Treatments were spray-dried plasma protein (SDPP; control), soy protein concentrate (SPC) and RPC (phase 1), and dried porcine soluble (DPS; control), SPC and RPC (phase 2). An ileal digestibility trial was also conducted to compare digestibility of amino acids in the tested protein sources. In expt. II, 160 weaning pigs (L${\times}$Y${\times}$D; 21 d-old; 5.65${\pm}$0.35 kg) were used in a 5-week feeding trial to determine the optimal inclusion level of RPC in the diet. Treatments were control (9% SPC), and three levels of RPC instead of SPC in the diets (3, 6 and 9%). During phase 1, pigs fed SDPP showed better (p<0.05) ADG and FCR compared with those fed SPC or RPC, while there was no difference in ADFI among treatments. During phase 2, however, pigs fed DPS showed lower (p<0.05) ADG than those fed SPC or RPC. During the total period, there were no significant differences in ADG, ADFI and FCR among treatments. The apparent ileal digestibilities of his, lys, phe, thr and met were not different among the tested protein sources. The apparent ileal digestibilities of arg, ile, leu and val were lower (p<0.05) in RPC than SDPP. The true ileal digestibilities of arg and leu were lower (p<0.05) in RPC than SDPP and SPC. However, that of met was higher (p<0.05) in RPC than SDPP. In expt. II, there were no significant differences in ADG and FCR when SPC was substituted with RPC up to 9% during the total period. In conclusion, based on our experimental results, RPC would replace SPC in the complex prestarter diet, which is somewhat cheaper than SPC.

The solids(supplementary food) consumption of 200 healthy infants aged from 4 to 6 months have been measured. Five groups were assigned to different feeding patterns. Breastfed group(BF, n=38), formula-fed group(FF, n=102) and mixed-fed group(MF, n=14) were fed breast milk, formula and mixed(breast mile+formula) from birth until 6 months of age respectively. Convert 1 group(C1F, n=14) and convert 2 group(C2F, n=32) were fed breast milk and mixed milk at 2 months of age respectively and were switched to formula thereafter. All infants received solids form 4 months of age. The energy intake from solids at 4 and 6 months averaged 59.1 and 110.3㎉/d among BF groups vs 151.9 and 239.3㎉/d among FF groups respectively. Intakes of protein, calcium and iron were 38-46$\%$, 34-44% and 25-37$\%$ higher in the FF than in the Bf group during the first 6 months. However, no significant differences were found in the intakes of energy and nutrient intakes from solids in all 4 groups excluding BF group(39$\%$). Although BF infant's nutrient intakes from solids were lower than other group's intakes, they intaked evenly solids from various food groups. As the age of infant had increased, the energy intake ratio from solids was cereals and dairy products was increased whereas energy intake ratio from meats, eggs, fruits and vegetables was decreased. TSC4, TSC6(the frequency score for the kinds of weaning food taken) showed no significant difference among 5 feeding groups but CIF-and C2F group's scores tended to be high. Consequently, these results suggest that BF group's solid intake pattern is more desirable and that Korean lactating Mother's dependence on commercial weaning food is too high.

For the Exp. 1, twelve Duroc $\times$ Yorkshire $\times$ Landrace pigs (6.12 $\pm$ 0.24 kg average initial body weight and 21 d average age) were used in an 8-d metabolic assay to determine the effects of replacing spray-dried plasma protein (SDPP) with spray-dried egg Protein containing egg yolk antibody (SDCEP) on nutrient and amino acids digestibility in weaning Pigs. Experimental animals were fed diets containing SDPP, SDCEP (spray-dried commercial egg protein) and SDAEP. Protein content in the SDPP, SDCEP and SDAEP were 58.20, 45.83 and 41.85%, respectively. Pigs fed the SDPP diet tended to increase the apparent digestibility of dry matter and nitrogen compared to pigs fed the SDAEP diets without significant differences. The ileal digestibility of lysine and methionine for the SDAEP were greater than those for the SDPP, however, there are no significant differences between groups. For Exp.2, 36 Duroc $\times$ Yorkshire $\times$ Landrace pigs (4.11 $\pm$ 0.05 kg average initial body weight and 14 d average age) were used in a 10-day growth assay to determine the effects on growth performance and nutrient digestibility of replacing SDPP with SDAEP in early-weaning pigs. Experimental animals were fed diets containing CON (corn-dried whey-SBM based diet), SDAEP3 (corn-dried whey-SBM based diet + 3% SDAEP), SDAEP6 (corn-dried whey-SBM based diet + 6% SDAEP). The average daily weight gain of the pigs fed the SDAEP3 diet was higher than that for the pigs fed the CON and SDAEP6 diets (p < 0.05). SDAEP3 significantly increased the digestibility of dry matter and nitrogen compared to the CON and SDAEP6 diets (p < 0.05).

According to the dietary surveys and national food balance sheets, the dietary state of person living in Korea is ingesting a high level of grain and vegetable diet and very low animal sources. The daily calory intake is about 2,300-2,600 Cal. per head in which a total protein intake is 69-86 gm respectively. These data indicate no shortage of calory and total protein intake. However, the intake of animal protein is only 4-11 gm and the fat is 8-18 gm, both of which are far below the requirment. The low fat intake brings about a low level of fat soluble vitamins, and that V-A intake is as short as the half amount of the allowance. Riboflavine is also about a half of dietary requirment. Both thiamin and ascorbic acid intake are sufficient. The calcium intake is 0.26-0.5 gm per day which is inadequate. In fact, biochemical findings through field survey show; serum protein 6.7 gm, hemoglobin 13.1 gm and hematocrite 41.5% all of which are lower than the Kwon's report. The serum V-A and uunrinary riboflavin value are also lower than the Williams'es report. Clinically, inflamation of the eyes, cheilosis, pathological signs of tangue, xerosis of the hand and arm, or the like are frequently seen. On the other hand, there is no suitable diet available for the weaning infant and delayed weaning is a common practice. A school lunch program is still in an early stage of development. Another example can be cited that the Korean infant grows faster than the Japanese until one year of age, and no difference is noted between the Korean and the American infants up to six monthes of age, thereafter the former lags in the growth rate. This might be mainly due to the nutritional reasons as mentioned above, and in part due to the high inidence of intestinal parasitism and others.

The present research was chiefly designed to determine the effect of the treatment of estrogenic agonist, estradiol benzoate (EB), or antiandrogenic compound, flutamide (Flu), at the weaning age on the expression of connexin (Cx) isoforms in the caudal epididymis of adult male rat. Animals were subcutaneously administrated with a single shot of either EB at a low-dose ($0.015{\mu}g$ of EB/kg body weight (BW)) or a high-dose ($1.5{\mu}g$ of EB/kg BW) or Flu at a low-dose ($500{\mu}g$ of EB/kg BW) or a high-dose (5 mg of EB/kg BW). Expressional changes of Cx isoforms in the adult caudal epididymis were examined by quantitative real-time PCR analysis. The treatment of a low-dose EB caused significant increases of Cx30.3, Cx31, Cx32, and Cx43 transcript levels but reduction of Cx31.1, Cx37, and Cx45 expression. Exposure to a high-dose EB resulted in very close responses observed in a low-dose EB treatment, except no significant expressional change of Cx37 and a significant induction of Cx40. Expression of all Cx isoforms, except Cx45, was significantly increased by a low-dose Flu treatment. Expressional increases of all Cx isoforms were detected by a high-dose Flu treatment. The current study demonstrates that a single exposure to estrogenic or antiandrogenic compound during the early postnatal developmental period is sufficient to disrupt normal expression of Cx isoforms in the adult caudal epididymis.

This study was conducted to find some differences in infant feeding pattems between well educated Koreans and local populations living in Texas, USA. Initiation rate of exclusive breastfeeding in the hospital was 35.9% in Koreans and 60.4% in Americans. At 2, 4 and 6 months, exclusive breastfeeding rates were 34.0%, 20.8% and 13.2% for Koreans and 47.2%, 34.0% and 27.2% for Americans respectively. There was a significant difference in age of weaning from breast between these two groups(p<0.01). In Koreans the most common reason for the early termination before 4 months was maternal report of milk insufficiency. 55.6% of Koreans and 42.3% of Americans fed infants on scheduled rather on demand feeding. Primary sources of advice about feeding were medical professionals in Americans while baby's grandmother was the main source in Koreans. In Americans, choice of breastfeeding was not associated with ethnicity, maternal education, and family income in the study. Interventions to promote and support participants of Women Infants and Children(WIC) may play a role in Americans. It might be suggested that effective nutrition education programs targeting for Korean mothers to promote breastfeeding should be needed urgently and systematically.

Intra-aortic balloon pump [IABP] was applied to 12 patients between July, 1987, and September, 1990. The 12 patients included 8 who were assisted with IABP intraoperatively; 4 patients used IABP postoperatively. 8 patients could not be withdrawn from cardiopulmonary bypass [CPB], but 6 of them [75%] were able to separate from CPB with IABP. They all were withdrawn from the balloon. Four [50%] of them are hospital survivors, and alive at the time of this report. 4 additional patients were assisted with IABP, postoperatively. 2 of them [50Yo] were withdrawn from the balloon but died. The overall survival and balloon weaning rates are 33.3% [4/12] % 66.7% [8/12], respectively. IABP was most effective when applied early to patients who had transient and reversible injury to the myocardium.

Symmetrical Digital Gangrene (SDG) is characterized by the sudden onset of peripheral, symmetrical gangrene in the absence of any major vascular occlusive disease. Catecholamine inotropes are frequently used for the treatment of septic shock combined with an unstable hemodynamic state, and their usage can rarely induce SDG. There is no standard treatment for the SDG. Early recognition and prompt management of sepsis and expeditious process of weaning off of the inotropes are necessary to prevent progression of SDG. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report in Korea regarding the treatment of SDG induced by catecholamine inotropes.

목 적 : 신생아 호흡 곤란 증후군에서 폐 표면 활성제의 조기 투여와 연성 환기, 고빈도 환기요법과 공격적 인공호흡기 이탈은 신생아 호흡 곤란 증후군 치료의 기본이다. 하지만, 침습적인 기도삽관에 의한 인공호흡기 치료보다 비침습적인 폐 표면 활성제의 조기투여와 nasal CPAP 병용치료의 적용 가능성을 확인하고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 방 법 : 1999년 1월부터 2001년 8월까지 본원 출생아로서 중등도 신생아 호흡 곤란 증후군으로 진단된 환아 중 생후 2시간 이내 폐 표면 활성제의 조기 투여 후 nasal CPAP의 호기 말 양압을 5-6 cm $H_2O$로 설정하여 임상경과를 관찰한 14례를 연구군으로 하고, 인공호흡기 치료 후 5일 이내 조기이탈이 가능했던 15례를 대상으로 병력, 흉부 방사선 소견, SMR, 임상경과, 산소화 지수를 병력지를 이용하여 후향적으로 분석 하였다. 결 과 : 1) 대상아의 특징 : 평균 재태 연령은 연구군이 $32.3{\pm}1.7$주이고, 대조군은 31.3${\pm}1.5$주이었고, 평균 출생체중은 연구군이 $1,730{\pm}290gm$, 대조군이 $1,620{\pm}350gm$이었으며, 남녀 성비는 연구군이 10 : 4, 대조군이 6 : 9로 양군간에 유의한 차이가 없었다. 2) 양군에서 출생시 RDS의 정도 및 검사 소견의 비교 : 연구군에서 SMR은 $9.8{\pm}6.5$개, 대조군에서 $10.7{\pm}3.1$개, 흉부방사선 소견상 Bomsel grade 2 이상이 연구군에서 12례, 대조군에서 15례, 임상증상은 빈호흡이 연구군에서 11례, 대조군에서 9례, 흉부함몰은 연구군에서 10례, 대조군에서 8례, 신음호흡은 연구군에서 10례, 대조군에서 7례였고, 1분과 5분 Apgar 점수는 연구군이 각각 $6.9{\pm}1.3$, $8.4{\pm}0.8$, 대조군이 각각 $6.5{\pm}1.2$, $8.1{\pm}0.5$, 동맥혈 가스 분석상 pH, $PaCO_2$는 연구군이 각각 $7.3{\pm}0.1$, $51.3{\pm}14.1mmHg$, 대조군이 각각 $7.3{\pm}0.1$, $45.6{\pm}14.6mmHg$으로 신생아 호흡 곤란 증후군의 중등도 비교에서 양군은 유의한 차이가 없었다. 3) 양군에서 치료과정 중 동맥혈 가스 분석 및 호흡지표의 변화(생후 6-12시간 사이의 경과) : 호흡기치료과정 중 동맥혈 가스 분석 검사상 pH 및 $PaCO_2$의 평균치는 연구군에서 각각 $7.39{\pm}0.1$, $39.1{\pm}7.9$, 대조군에서 각각 $7.38{\pm}0.1$, $35.4{\pm}8.5$, 산소화 지수의 평균치는 연구군에서 $9.1{\pm}1.3$, 대조군에서 $8.34{\pm}1.7$로 양군에서 유의한 차이가 없었다. 4) 연구군에서 임상적 경과 및 CPAP 치료에 대한 반응도 : 연구군에서 임상적 경과가 악화되어 인공호흡기 치료가 필요했던 경우는 14례 중 2례(14.3%)이었고, 12례(85.7%)에서는 성공적으로 치료되어 인공호흡기 치료가 필요없었다. 실패한 2례 중 1례는 임상경과 중 호흡지표의 악화로 인공호흡기 치료로 전환된 경우이고 나머지 1례는 장치 후 6시간 이내에 제반증상의 악화로 보존적 인공호흡기 치료로 전환된 경우이다. 성공적으로 치료된 경우 지속적 양압 환기기간은 평균 5일이었고 평균 호기말 양압은 $5.4{\pm}0.5cm$ $H_2O$이었다. 5) 양군에서 합병증의 비교 : 동맥관 개존증은 대조군에서 2례(14.3%)있었고, 병기(stage) 3 이상의 미숙아 망막증은 연구군에서 1례, 대조군에서 3례 있었으며, 뇌실내 출혈은 연구군에서 3례, 대조군에서 2례 있었고, 뇌실주위백질연화증은 연구군에서 1례, 대조군에서 3례 있었으며, 공기 누출 증후군 및 만성 폐질환은 발생되지 않았다. 그리고, 연구군에서 지속적 양압 환기로 인한 복부팽대가 2례로 양군에서 통계학적 유의성은 없었다. 결 론 : 중등도 신생아 호흡 곤란 증후군에서 생후 2시간 이내 폐 표면 활성제 투여 후 nasal CPAP을 사용한 14례를 연구군으로 하고, 5일 이내 조기 인공호흡기 이탈이 가능하였던 15례를 대조군으로 하여 임상 경과를 비교 검토한 결과 양군에서 뚜렷한 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로 중등도 호흡 곤란증후군에서 공격적 이탈을 목표하는 인공호흡기 치료법보다는 폐 표면 활성제의 조기투여와 nasal CPAP의 병용치료를 우선적으로 시도해 볼 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
