The purposes of the study were to identify the operational characteristics in employee feeding facilities, and to examine the correlations of productivity and these characteristics. A questionnaire was developed and mailed the 500 dietitians in employee feeding facilities in Seoul and Kyoungki Do. Usable questionnaires were received from 117 respondents for a response rate of 23.4％. The questionnaire was designed to determine the productivity index and to investigate the relationship between operational characteristics and productivity index. The questionnaire was contained 2 parts with a total of 16 statements. Data were analyzed for descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation analysis using SPSS/PC programs. The average productivity indices of 117 facilities were 6.91 meals/hr. Total meals served/week was significantly correlated to the productivity index (r=0.441, p < 0.001). No of average servings per meal, percentage of convenience food use, average minutes for service/day, and employment in professional practice of dietitian were also positively correlated, while food cost was negatively correlated to the productivity.

Adverse reactions associated with acupuncture are common even in standard practice. The incidence of recorded reactions are various from mild symptoms: tiredness, itching, dizziness or nausea to serious symptoms: pneumothorax, cardiac injury or infection. Recently we experienced one patient, a 36-year-old woman, admitted to the emergency department with chest pain, dyspnea and back pain one hour after acupuncture treatment. The diagnosis was a left-sided pneumothorax by chest PA X-ray and chest HR CT. In this study, we differentiate spontaneous pneumothorax from misunderstood iatrogenic. Further evaluation between adverse effects and similar symptoms is needed.

Ethanol fermentation by Scccharomyces cervisiae was carried out in the cell recycle filter system with a cheap fabric filter having a pore size of 10${\mu}$m. Maximum biomass concentrations up to 85g/1 were obtained, but in practice operational concentrations were between 50 and 80g/1. Ethanol productivity was 42g/1-hr, with an ethanol concentration of 66g/1 and an ethanol yield of over 86%. Continuous operation was possible by applying periodic backflushing. The ethanol fermentation could be carried out without difficulty at a dilution rate up to 0.8h-1 In order to obtain a high cell concentration and ethanol productivity, development of filter module with the larger filtration area is required.

This study was attempted to investgate the pharmacokinetics of theophylline (4 mg/kg i.v) in the rabbits pretreated with propranolol (1 and 2.5 mg/kg/hr, infusion) for four hours. The plasma concentration and AUC of theophylline were increased in rabbits pretreated with propranolol as compared with those of normal rabbits. The amount of cumulative urinary excretion and renal clearance and total body clearance were decreased in rabbits pretreated with propranolol as compared with those of normal rabbits. The apparent volume of distribution was slightly affected by change of the clearance of theophylline. From the results of this experiment, it is desirable that dosage regimen of theophylline should be adjusted when theophylline combined with propranolol in clinical pharmacy practice.

When conducting an exposure assessment, the primary goal of the industrial hygienist is to fully characterize the worker's exposure during a work shift to compare it with an occupational exposure limit. This applies regardless of the duration of the work activity as an activity that is relatively short in duration can still present exposure in excess of the occupational exposure limit even when normalized over an 8-hr shift. This goal, however, is often impeded by the specification of a minimum sample volume in the published sampling method, which may prevent the sample from being collected or submitted for analysis. Removing the specification of minimum sample volume (or adjusting it from a requirement to a recommendation), in contrast, allows for a broader assessment of jobs that consist of short-duration and high-exposure activities and also eliminates the unnecessary practice of running sampling pumps in clean air to collect a specified, minimum volume.

This study was conducted to evaluate the felling productivity by chain saw in thinning operation of Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis) stands. Time study data were collected from 4 thinning site in Korean pine stands. This study derived a regression model to estimate the average felling cycle time for evaluating the productivity in felling, which was used to analyze the felling productivity by thinning period. In the study sites, the average felling cycle time per a tree was 463 sec/cycle and the productivity was $2.26m^3/hr$. Thinning period in Korean pine is divided into three groups by producing purposes; small-diameter log, medium-diameter log, and large-diameter log. And analyzed working time and productivity from thinning period fixed by producing purposes. For the small-diameter log producing purpose estimated to be thinning period operated once when the mean DBH was 16 cm and its productivity was $8.94m^3/man{\cdot}day$. For the medium-diameter and large-diameter log producing purposes, thinning period was twice and three times when the mean DBH of the 1st and 2nd thinning period was 16 cm and 21 cm, and its productivity was $9.06m^3/man{\cdot}day$ and $10.86m^3/man{\cdot}day$. The 30 cm in DBH and $15.12m^3/man{\cdot}day$ in productivity was operated 3rd thinning for the large-diameter log producing purposes.

This study was carried out to propose low types of green speed expectation models for fast putting green management by changing mowing height($4.0{\sim}2.5$ mm) and timing of rolling, dew removal and dew removal+rolling. Ball roll distance data were taken from the creeping bentgrass(Agrostis palustris Huds. 'Penncross') practice green of east course at the Lakeside C.C. in October 18, 2001 and May 25, 2002. Data were subjected to multi-regression analysis using Statistical Package for the Social Science. Among four types of green speed expectation models, the best multiple-regression equation for fast green management was as follows; $Y_4=4.171-0.225{\cdot}X_1-0.038{\cdot}X_2$ (where, $Y_4$ : green speed(m) after single dew removal+single rolling, $X_1$ : mowing height($4.0{\sim}2.5,\;X_2$ : passage of time ($0{\sim}8$ h.)). The equation[single dew removal by using sponge roller $\rightarrow$ single mowing at 3.0 mm height or less $\rightarrow$ single rolling] explained to provide fast green over 3.2 m (Stimpmeter readings required for USGA championship play) until the end of first round. Therefore, this cultural practice system was believed to provide fast putting green condition for professional golf tournament

To find out a convenient and reliable method of. detecting low renin status, we employed intravenous furosemide injection as a stimulatory maneuver. The results thus obtained were compared with those from the postural stimuli and basal plasma renin activity (PRA) in relation to sodium excretion. Intravenous furosemide test was performed in 66 control subjects and 44 patients with essential hypertension. The results were as follow; 1) Mean PRA in control subjects rose from $2.5{\pm}1.95$ ng/ml/hr (basal) to $4.5{\pm}2.51,\;5.2{\pm}2.49\;and\;4.2{\pm}2.44$ ng/ml/hr at 1, 2 and 3hrs after IV injection. One-hour response is more convenient in clinical practice. 2) Postural stimuli by assuming an upright posture for 3 hrs gave rise to considerable increase in PRA ($4.0{\pm}2.92\;from\;2.4{\pm}1.85$), but we found it less convenient than stimulation with furosemide. 3) The increase in PRA was much less marked in patients with essential hypertension as a whole ($2.9{\pm}2.75$). Hyporesponsiveness to furosemide stimuli was found in 34.1%. Of these hypo responders, a third had a normal basal PRA, indicating the need for this kind stimulatory procedure. 4) Younger age group showed greater renin responsiveness than older age group after furosemide stimuli. Likewise mean age of low renin patients ($52.9{\pm}5.38$ years old) was significantly higher than that of high and normal renin patients ($44.1{\pm}13.78$ years old).

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Angelica keiskei is a green leafy vegetable rich in plant pigment phytochemicals such as flavonoids and carotenoids. This study examined bioavailability of flavonoids and carotenoids in Angelica keiskei and the alteration of the antioxidant performance in vivo. SUBJECTS AND MATERIALS: Absorption kinetics of phytochemicals in Angelica keiskei were determined in healthy older adults (> 60 y, n = 5) and subjects with metabolic syndrome (n = 5). Subjects consumed 5 g dry Angelica keiskei powder encapsulated in gelatin capsules with a low flavonoid and carotenoid liquid meal. Plasma samples were collected at baseline, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 h. Samples were analyzed for flavonoids and carotenoids using HPLC systems with electrochemical and UV detection, respectively, and for total antioxidant performance by fluorometry. RESULTS: After ingestion of Angelica keiskei increases in plasma quercetin concentrations were observed at 1-3 and 6-8 hr in the healthy group and at all time points in the metabolic syndrome group compared to baseline (P < 0.05). Plasma lutein concentrations were significantly elevated in both the healthy and metabolic syndrome groups at 8 hr (P < 0.05). Significant increases in total antioxidant performance were also observed in both the healthy and the metabolic syndrome groups compared to baseline (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Findings of this study clearly demonstrate the bioavailability of phytonutrients of Angelica keiskei and their ability to increase antioxidant status in humans.
