In this study, we investigated the relationship between unsaturated fatty acids influencing beef flavor and four types of SNPs (c.280A>G, c.388G>A, c.408G>C and c.456A>G) located at exon 2, 3 and 4 of the FABP4 gene, which is a fatty acid binding protein 4 in Korean cattle (n = 513). When analyzing the relationship between single genotype, fatty acids and carcass trait, individuals of GG, GG, CC and GG genotypes that are homozygotes, had a higher content of unsaturated fatty acids and marbling scores than other genotypes (p<0.05). Then, haplotype block showed strong significant relationships not only with unsaturated fatty acids (54.73%), but also with marbling scores (5.82) in $ht1{\times}ht1$ group (p<0.05). This $ht1{\times}ht1$ group showed significant differences with unsaturated fatty acids and marbling scores that affected beef flavor in Korean cattle. Therefore, it can be inferred that the $ht1{\times}ht1$ types might be valuable new markers for use in the improvement of Korean cattle.

Background: Single nucleotide polymorphisms of C-reactive protein (CRP) have been shown to be related to circulating CRP level, risk and prognosis in cancer patients. However, accumulating evidence of rs1800947 involvement in risk of cancer is inconsistent. Thus, a meta-analysis was performed to obtain a more precise relationship. Materials and Methods: The pooled odds ratio (OR) and its 95% confidence interval were assessed in 10 eligible articles with 12 studies containing 5,601 cancer cases and 8,669 cancer-free controls. Results: No significant association was observed overall and in subgroups in comparison of genotype GC vs GG ($P_H$=0.847, OR=0.939, 95%CI=0.810-1.087), GC/CC vs GG ($P_H$=0.941, OR=1.021, 95%CI=0.901-1.157) and allele C vs G ($P_H$=0.933, OR=1.026, 95%CI=0.909-1.159). However, statistically significance was evident in comparison of genotype CC vs GG in cancer risk ($P_H$=0.586, OR=2.854, 95%CI= 1.413-5.763), especially in colorectal cancer ($P_H$=0.481, OR=4.527, 95%CI= 1.664- 12.315). Conclusions: Genotype CC of rs1800947 in the CRP gene is strongly associated with increased cancer risk, particularly in colorectal cancer.

Investigating the past and present literatures of west and east about pediatric constitutions and Dong-Eu-Su Se-Bo-Won $\ll$東醫壽世保元$\gg$, we obtained such conclusions : 1. In ancient literatures about pediatric constitution, physiologic and histologic characteristics are considered as pediatirc constitution. 'Pure Yang(純陽)' 'Yang is overabundant, Yin is insufficient(陽有餘陰不足)' are used for definitions of pediatric characteristics. 2. In recent literatures about pediatric constitution, adding to definitions of ancient constitution, more scientific, objective and rational criterion are intrduced. 3. In Sa-Sang(四象), limits of pediatrics is defined to children below sixteen years. 'Yu(幼)' in Dong-Eu-Su-Se-Bo-Won $\ll$東醫壽世保元$\gg$. 4. In Dong-Eu-Su-Se-Bo-Won $\ll$東醫壽世保元$\gg$, the writings about 'So-Yang-In(少陽人)' is most, those about 'So-Eum-In(少陰人)', 'Tae-Eum-In(太陰人)' and 'Tae-Yang-In(太陽人)' are in sequence. 5. In conclusion, Je-Ma Yi(李濟馬), inventor of Sa-Sang(四象), consider that pediatric constitutions are not different from those of adult.

Since ${\ll}$Hwangjenaegyeong(黃帝內經)${\gg}$ and ${\ll}$Nangyeong(難經)${\gg}$, there has been various methods in pulse diagnosis. The Chon-gu(寸口)/Inyeong(人迎) Pulse Comparison Diagnosis which is dealt with in many chapters of the ${\ll}$Hwangjenaegyeong${\gg}$, has not been as widely applied as the Chon-gu Pulse Diagnosis due to several limitations. In this paper, we will review these limitations and suggest an alternative method. In the Chon-gu/Inyeong Pulse Comparison Diagnosis, we compare the Chon-gu Pulse and the Inyeong Pulse to see which is larger than the other by times, and diagnose illness of the 12 Meridian Pulse. It is fairly clear which is larger than the other, but to determine by how much accurately is quite difficult to say. However if we combine the Five Viscera Pulse in application, it becomes far more easier to determine which viscera and bowel is ill. First, study the pulse of the Chon-gu and In-yeong, then determine the Viscera Pulse. Next, determine the larger pulse between the Chon-gu and In-yeong pulse.

Purpose: Actually until now, there is few historic records concern on oriental OB&GY from late Joseon Dynasty colonized by Japan. therefore, this research was studied in priority with historic background and medical-history for this book and writer. Methods: the related data were collected through books on history, medicine books, essays, and family councils, contents of $\ll$女科大要$\gg$ were made a comparative study with $\ll$東醫寶鑑$\gg$. Results : As it seems to be accomplished writing and publication of this book, $\ll$女科大要$\gg$ at that times, and there is no former days data about the author, 李載建, this research was progressed by dividing into background research and comparison study. Conclusion: there is insufficient report on information of this book and the author, but it is considered that enough value is by existence of a book and person's discovery. Besides, it is thought to need more study on comparison with books same age and exchange with historic persons of Korean traditional medicine.

Calcium plays an important role for the organisms' physiology, reproduction, and growth. Calcium amount and transfer efficiency along trophic levels were compared at two different geological areas, Limestone area (LS) and Granitic Gneiss area (GG) in 1992 and 1993. Biomass and calcium amount of plants, herbivores and carnivores were seasonally measured. The removal sweeping net method was used to collect the quantitative insect samples. Calcium content (mgCa $g^{-1}$ DM) and pH of soil were 4.85 and 7.3 at LS and 0.21 and 7.3 at GG. The calcium transfer efficiencies (%) at LS and CG were 0.2 and 4.2 from soil to plants, 0.002 and 0.02 from plants to herbivores, and 73 and 47 from herbivores to carnivores, respectively. As a whole, the high calcium content of the LS soil reduced the utilization of calcium by plants. The higher trophical levels were, the higher ecological efficiency of the biological levels was. The calcium transfer amount was higher at LS, but its efficiency was rather higher at GG.

The purpose of this research was the comparative study of 3 kinds of black soybean on murine immune cells. The 3 kinds of black soybean are Glycine max Merr. with inner color-yellow (GY), Glycine max Merr. with inner color-greenish (GG) and Rhynchosia volubilis Lour. (RV). All of the black soybean increased the viability of murine thymocytes in vitro. The combined treatment of GY or GG and mitogen did not affect the viability of splenic T- and B-lymphocytes compared with mitogen-treated group, but the combined treatment of RV and mitogen increased their action compared with mitogen-treated group. Also, the 3 kinds of black soybean were given p.o. once a day for 7 days, respectively. RV increased the population of thymic-$CD8^+$, splenic-$CD8^+$ and $B220^+$ cells in vivo. Furthermore, GY and GG did not affect the phagocytic activity and the production of nitric oxide in peritoneal macrophages in vitro, but RV enhanced their action. These results suggest that immunopotentiative action of Rhynchosia volubilis Lour. is more potent than their of Glycine max Merr.

We discuss several issues relating to the meaning of the terms and phrases in the first half of Chapter One fang tian 方田章 of ${\ll}$Jiuzhang suanshu九章算術${\gg}$. I understood those issues more clearly in the course of the translation of ${\ll}$Kujang sulhae 九章術解${\gg}$. Those are '今有' in the beginning of each problem, '積' and '冪' in the method of square field 方田術, '齊' in the method of reduction to a common denominator 齊同術, '經' and '有分者通之重有分者同而通之' in the method of dividing fraction 經分術, '實如法而一' in the calculation using the rods, '兩邪' in the method of trapezium field with a perpendicular side 邪田術. We may find out the value of ${\ll}$Kujang sulhae 九章術解${\gg}$ through our discussion.

Korea is the urgent need to diversify the bio-energy raw materials because we have narrow area of land cultivated plants and lack the bio-mass resources. Using a resource-rich the marine environment enclosed on three sides by the sea. Through bio-energy production-technical and carbon dioxide reduction measures which will be a very effective alternative. Sustainable development about algae bio-energize industry through SSaM-GG(Smart, Shared and Mutual-Green, Growth) is expected. Algae has high carbon dioxide absorption factor, extracting oil from algae is thirty times much more than sunflower.
