The HR Plates made hot rolled coils is lower than general structural steel plates in price. No difference between general steel plates and HR Plates with thickness up to 22mm are found in most characters such as cutting operation, fabrication and even welding. It can be concluded that HR Plates with thickness up to 22mm can be applied to flanges and webs of any girders as well as longitudinal ribs, longitudinal and vertical stiffeners of steel bridges appropriately. To increase the demand of HR Plates with thickness up to 22mm, it is necessary that HR Plates is applicable to full member in steel bridge including main girder.In this study, availabilities of the narrow steel box girder of light railway transit with HR Plate width as a main member are discussed. For application of HR Plate to steel bridge with 50m span or more, new support systems in three types are presented. Computational analysis is performed in 15 bridge models of light railway transit with beam element and plate element. As a analysis results, three models in light railway transit are presented. We finally come to the conclusion that HR Plates can be apply to narrow steel box girder in the light railway transit.

Three kinds of dietary composites-R+T, R+F, and R+TF-were combined in green tea (T), dietary fiber (F), and green tea dietary fiber mixture (TF) to red garlic extract (RG), respectively. The effects of their diets on anti-obesity were investigated $in$ $vitro$ and $in$ $vitro$ in obese rats induced high fat-cholesterol. In $in$ $vivo$ rats, the total phenolic content of the R+T and R+TF was 1.9~2.0 times higher, and their total cholesterol adsorption was 9.5~11.5 times higher than that of RG. $In$ $vivo$, male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 6 groups (Normal, HFC, HRG, HR+T, HR+F and HR+TF). Afterwards, the diets of the HRG, HR+T, HR+F, and HR+TF groups were supplemented with 1% of RG and its dietary composites (R+T, R+F, and R+TF) for 4 weeks, respectively. The final body weight of the HRG, HR+T, HR+F, and HR+TF groups decreased significantly compared to the group fed high fat-cholesterol (HFC), but the food efficiency ratio was not significantly different from the HFC group. The liver weight of the HFC group doubled compared to the normal group, whereas that of HR+T and HR+TF groups decreased significantly. The weight of visceral and epididymal fat decreased significantly in the groups fed the composites compared to the HFC group. The obesity index of HR+TF group decreased significantly only when compared to the HFC group. The serum lipid profile such as total lipids, cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL- and VLDL-cholesterol, as well as the atherogenic index and cardiac risk factors decreased drastically in all experimental groups compared to the HFC group, and the levels of HR+T, HR+F and HR+TF groups were a similar trend. GPT activity was not significantly different among the groups fed the composites, and it decreased significantly in the HRG group. The content of the lipid peroxide level decreased significantly in the HRG group and in the groups fed the composites, compared to the HFC group. Serum antioxidant activity was the highest in the HR+T group. We suggest that the hypolipidemic and anti-obesity effect of the RG composites, achieved by mixing green tea extract and/or dietary fiber, was due to their total phenolic content and total cholesterol adsorption effect.

This study was carried out to find the physico-chemical attributes of yogurt base with Lactobacillus case; 00692 during 72 hr fermentation at $37^{\circ}C$. The pH decreased up to 44 hr and plateaued thereafter, and the titratable acidity increased up to 40 hr. The number of lactic acid bacteria sharply increased with $1.0\times10^7cfu/mL$ up to 48 hr of fermentation and slowly increased thereafter. The free amino acids produced during the fermentation reached the maximum value at 40 hr and gradually decreased thereafter. In the result of electrophoresis, the band was the thickest at 44 hr and mostly disappeared at 72 hr fermentation. The present data showed that the range of optimum fermentation time for yogurt base using Lactobacillus casei 00692 was from 40 to 44 hr.

The antimutagenic effects of persimmon leaf tea extract (PLTE) at concentration levels consumed by human were examined in mice using micronuleus induction with MMC(mitomycin C) or 4-NQO (4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide). When mice received oral gavage of 10 equivalent to PLTE 24 hr and 6 hr before, and 5 equivalent to PLTE 6 hr before and 3 hr after intraperitoneal injection of MMC, a significant decrease in the frequency of micronuclei were observed. The induction of micronuclei by 4-NQO was suppressed by oral dosage of PLTE at 5 equivalent to PLTE 6 hr before and 3 hr after, 10 equivalent to PLTE 3 hr before and 3 hr after intraperitoneal injection of MMC. Though the components of PLTE have not been analyzed so far, our present results suggest the existence of several bio-antimutagens and/or desmutagens in PLTE, beside catechin, well-known antimutagen.

The purpose of this research is to study the impact of a consulting-recipient company's organizational characteristics have on consulting performance based on a case study of M manufacturing company that received HR consulting. Noticing that the subject company received HR consulting, consulting performance was evaluated in terms of two variables, HR effectiveness and organizational commitment, and the research focused on analyzing HR system improvement and change in awareness of employees. The result showed that all lower factors that describe organizational characteristics - closeness, delegation of responsibilities, ethical management, communication and shared values - had statistically positive impact on HR effectiveness at significance level p<.05. Also, the higher the HR effectiveness, the higher the positive impact on organizational commitment improvement. Moreover, it was shown that all lower factors in organizational characteristics had positive impact on overall consulting performance. Accordingly, the research concludes that, in order to improve consulting performance, i.e., HR effectiveness and organizational commitment, for blue collar workers, the company needs to create a family-oriented and closely-knit working environment, establish rules and systems to delegate responsibilities appropriately, actively promote ethical management and provide strategic activities to facilitate effective communication.

양식 생물에게 있어 용존산소는 호흡에 필수적이며, 양식 시설 내에서 적절한 용존 산소량을 유지하는 것은 생산량을 좌우하는 가장 중요한 요인이며, 어종, 수온, 광주기, 나이와 크기, 어류의 행동과 먹이 공급 및 환경 조건에 따라 달라진다. 이 중 같은 종 내에서 선발육종된 개체와 일반 양식 종 그리고 이들 계통간 잡종에 대한 대사 효율 즉, 용존산소 소비율의 차이에 관한 연구는 거의 없다. 따라서 본 실험에서는 한국해양연구원에서 선발육종 해 온 참돔과 일본 양식산 참돔 및 이들의 교배 자손들을 대상으로 수온과 광주기 변화에 따른 용존산소 소비율을 조사하였다. 실험어는 일본 양식산인 TPN 교배구 자손과 한국해양연구원 선발육종산인 KORDI F4 교배구 자손, JPN♀×KORDI F4♂ 그리고 KORDI F4♀×JPN♂ 교배구 자손을 대상으로 실시하였다. 체중이 각각 52.0±0.6 g(JPN 교배구; 그룹 1), 52.3±0.7 g(JPN♀×KORDI F4♂; 그룹 2), 51.7±0.4 g(KORDI F4♀ × KORDI F4♂; 그룹 3) 그리고 52.1±0.7 g(KORDI F4♀ × JPN♂; 그룹 4)인 참돔 치어를 각각 5마리씩 3반복 수용하여 실험에 이용하였다. 실험기간 동안 사육수의 pH는 8.1±0.1, 염분도는 34.0±0.5‰로 유지하였으며, 실험 장치는 김(1999)이 고안한 순환 시스템을 이용하였다. 수온은 각각 15℃, 20℃ 및 25℃로 변화시켰으며 각 수온 조건에서 광주기를 24L:0D, 12L:12D 그리고 0L:24D로 변화시켜 매 조건마다 용존 산소 소비량을 측정하였다. JPN 교배구인 그룹 1의 경우, 수온 15℃일 때 산소 소비량은 170.35∼266.29 mg O₂/kg fish/hr의 범위를 보였으며 수온 20℃와 25℃일 때 각각 236.76∼307.37 mg O₂/kg fish/hr와 346.96∼459.30 mg O₂/kg fish/hr 범위를 보여 수온 상승에 따라 산소 소비량 역시 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 그룹 2의 경우, 수온 15℃일 때 산소 소비량은 162.01∼279.51 mg O₂/kg fish/hr의 범위를 보였으며 수온 20℃와 25℃일 때 각각 303.48∼342.72 mg O₂/kg fish/hr와 447.18∼528.45 mg O₂/kg fish/hr 범위를 보여 그룹 1과 마찬가지로 수온 상승에 따라 산소 소비량 역시 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 그룹 3의 경우, 수온 15℃일 때 산소 소비량은 170.11∼220.98 mg O₂/kg fish/hr의 범위를 보였으며 수온 20℃와 25℃일 때 각각 262.62∼282.27 mg O₂/kg fish/hr와 302.24∼415.73 mg O₂/kg fish/hr 범위를 보여 그룹 1, 2와 유사한 경향을 보였다. 그룹 4의 경우, 수온 15℃일 때 산소 소비량은 156.03∼214.49 mg O₂/kg fish/hr의 범위를 보였으며 수온 20℃와 25℃일 때 각각 238.40∼274.28 mg O₂/kg fish/hr와 379.93∼430.97 mg O₂/kg fish/hr 범위를 보여 수온 상승에 따라 산소 소비량 역시 증가하는 것으로 나타나, 그룹 1, 2와 유사한 경향을 보였다. 모든 실험구에서 수온 상승과 함께 산소 소비량이 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며 가장 높은 산소 소비량은 그룹 2에서 관찰되었다. 실험 결과 JPN 계통의 암컷을 사용하여 생산된 그룹 1과 2의 산소 소비량이 KORDI F4 계통의 암컷을 사용한 그룹 3, 4보다 대체적으로 높은 것으로 나타났다. 연속적인 명기 조건인 24L:0D에서 수온 15℃의 경우 그룹 1, 2, 3 그리고 4의 시간당 산소 소비량은 각각 266.29 mg O₂/kg fish/hr,279.51 mg O₂/kg fish/hr, 220.98 mg O₂/kg fish/hr 그리고 214.49 mg O₂/kg fish/hr으로 나타났고, 명기와 암기가 동일한 조건인 12L:12D에서는 각각 192.20 mg O₂/kg fish/hr, 258.03 mg O₂/kg fish/hr, 192.76 mg O₂/kg fish/hr 그리고 170.40 mg O₂/kg fish/hr로 나타났다. 또한 연속적인 암기 조건인 OL:24D 조건에서는 각각 170.35 mg O₂/kg fish/hr, 162.01 mg O₂/kg fish/hr, 170.11 mg O₂/kg fish/hr 그리고 156.03 mg O₂,/kg fish/hr로 나타났다. 그리고 수온 20℃와 25℃에서도 그룹간의 변화는 이와 비슷한 경향을 보였다. 연속 명기 조건인 24L:0D에서의 산소 소비량이 명기와 암기가 동일한 조건인 12L:12D와 연속 암기 조건인 0L:24D에서의 산소 소비량 보다 대체적으로 높은 것으로 나타났으며, 그룹 2의 연속 명기 조건에서 528.45 mg O₂/kg fish/hr으로 가장 높게 나타났다. 그룹 4에서는 대사량이 점점 더 높아지는 수온 상승과 함께 연속 명기 조건과 더불어 12L:12D 조건에서의 산소 소비량이 크게 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

The pharmacokinetic of paclitaxel (1 mg/kg, i.v.) was investigated in rabbits with carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatic failure. The area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of paclitaxel was significantly (p<0.01) increased in severe carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatic failure rabbits ($1364.54{\pm}382.07$ ng/ml$\cdot$hr) compared to that of normal rabbits ($567.52{\pm}141.88$ ng/ml$\cdot$hr), but not significantly in moderate carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatic failure rabbits ($803.1{\pm}208.81$ ng/ml$\cdot$hr). The volume of distribution (Vd) (6.25$\pm$1.56 L) and the elimination rate constant($\beta$) ($0.09{\pm}0.025{\;}hr^{-1}$) of paclitaxel in severe carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatic failure rabbits were significantly (p<0.05) decreased compared to those of normal rabbits ($11.65<{\pm}2.91$L, $0.12{\pm}0.030{\;}hr^{-1}$), but not significantly in moderate carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatic failure rabbits ($9.46{\pm}2.37$ L, $0.10{\pm}0.026{\;}hr^{-1}$). Total body clearance ($CL_t$) of paclitaxel in severe carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatic failure rabbits ($0.733{\pm}0.183$ L/hr/kg) was significantly (p<0.01) decreased compared to that of normal rabbits ($1.762{\pm}0.440$ L/hr/kg), but not significantly in moderate carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatic failure rabbits ($1.245{\pm}0.311$ L/hr/kg). The half-life(t1/2) of paclitaxel in severe carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatic failure rabbits ($7.71{\pm}2.16$ hr) was significantly (p<0.05) increased compared to that of normal rabbits ($5.75{\pm}1.44$hr), but not significantly in moderate carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatic failure rabbits ($6.77{\pm}1.76$hr). This results could be due to inhibition of paclitaxel metabolism in liver disorder rabbits since paclitaxel is essentially metabolized in liver. The findings suggest that the dosage regimen of paclitaxel should be adjusted when the drug would be administered in patients with liver disorder in a clinical situation.

Cytokines are hormone-like proteins which mediate and regulate inflammatory and immune responses. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), Staphylococcus enterotoxin B (SEB), and Mycoplasma lysates on regulation of IL-6 and IL-8 production by human nasal fibroblasts. Primary cultured cells were incubated with LPS ($1.0\;{\mu}g/ml$) from E.coli, SEB ($1.0\;{\mu}g/ml$) from S.aureus, or Mycoplasma lysates (M.pneumoniae, Mp; M. fermentans, Mf; M. hominis, Mh, each $1.0\;{\mu}g/ml$). The culture supernatants were collected at 2, 6, and 24 hr and assessed for IL-6 and IL-8 production by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The production of IL-6 in the culture supernatant was downregulated by LPS, SEB, or Mycoplasma lysates. But IL-6 was upregulated by mixed exposure with Mp+LPS (2 hr), Mp+LPS+SEB (24 hr), Mf+LPS (24 hr), Mf+LPS+SEB (2 hr), Mh+LPS (24 hr), Mh+SEB (24 hr), or Mh+LPS+SEB (24 hr). The production of IL-8 in the culture supernatant was similar to that of IL-6 by same stimulants. But IL-8 was upregulated by mixed exposure with Mf+LPS+SEB (2 hr), Mh+LPS (24 hr), Mh+ SEB (24 hr), or Mh+LPS+SEB (24 hr). These studies show that costimulation of LPS or SEB with Mycoplasma whole cell lysates upregulates the production of IL-6 and IL-8.

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) play important roles in extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling during ovarian follicular development, oocytes development and ovulation. In an attempt to investigate the effect of MMP activation in development cumulus-oocytes complexes, we examined the localization and expression of MMP, and monitored MMP expression profile. Cumulus-oocytes complexes were collected and matured in vitro for 24 hr, 36 hr and 48 hr. A mRNA expression of MMP-2, MMP-9, TIMP-2 and TIMP-3 was detected in all culture medium regardless of CC, DC and CDCs. Activity of MMP-2 in the DC progressively was increased from 24 hr to 48 hr. But MMP-9 was not detected in all culture medium. The localization of MMP-2 was also measured by immunohistochemistry analysis. The MMP-2 and TIMP-2 was detected in cumulus cell and oocyte zone pellucida. Expression of MMP-2 protein in the COCs was progressively increased from 24 hr to 48 hr. However, MMP-9 protein was progressively decreased from 24 hr to 48 hr. And TIMP-2 protein was most highly expressed in the CDCs 36 hr. Expression of TIMP-3 protein in the CDCs was progressively increased from 24 hr to 48 hr. In conclusion, these results suggest that MMP-2 plays a role in maintaining normal maturation and development by controlling the ECM inhibitor concentration on cumulus cell and oocytes.
