A comparative study on the quality of meat from three breeds of goats reared in Bulgaria: Local Aboriginal (LA); Bulgarian White Dairy (BWD) and crossbreeds of local aboriginal with Saanen goats (LA ${\times}$ S). Eight intact young male goats from each breed have been included in the experiment. The animals from the three breeds have been reared under similar conditions. The animals have been slaughtered at the age of 2 months (at weaning) and at the age of 6 months (upon reaching sexual maturity). The following tests have been performed on samples of m. longissimus dorsi between $5^{th}$ and $6^{th}$ ribs: pH 45 min post mortum, colorimetrically color of meat, water holding capacity and fatty acid composition of the fat. The thickness of muscle fibre and the proportion of muscle, connective and adipose tissue have been microscopically determined at m. longissimus dorsi, m. semitendinosus and m. iliopsoas. After deboning and separating the bigger tendons, the chemical composition of the meat from the left half of the carcass has been determined. The results reveal lack of statistically significant differences among the three breeds concerning pH, the water holding capacity, color of meat, thickness of the muscle fibre and fatty acid composition of the fat. The carcass meat of crossbreeds of LA ${\times}$ S contains significantly more fat than the other two breeds. This influences the proportion of muscle, connective and adipose tissue in m. longissimus dorsi, m. semitendinosus and m. iliopsoas, resulting in more adipose tissue in the LA ${\times}$ S compared to young goats of the LA or the BWD. There are differences in slaughtering 2-month-old goats (at weaning) and 6-month-old ones (upon reaching sexual maturity). At a greater age the content of fat in the carcass increases, as well as the quantity of the adipose tissue, the intensity of the colour of the meat and there is a tendency towards thickening of the muscle fibre and increasing the water holding capacity of meat. The moisture content in meat decreases due to the increase of fat.

Purpose: Use of radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy is increasing in hypopharyngeal cancer. However, many show residual tumor after radiotherapy. Timing for treatment evaluation and salvage therapy is essential. However, optimal timing for salvage surgery has not been suggested. In this study, we tried to evaluate optimal timing for salvage surgery. Methods and Materials: Patients who were diagnosed with hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma between 2006 and 2015 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients received definitive radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy. Response of all treated patients were analyzed at 1, 3, and 6 months after radiotherapy. Any patients with progression before 6 months were excluded. Results: A total of 54 patients were analyzed. Complete remission (CR) rates at 1 month (CR₁), 3 months (CR₃) and 6 months (CR₆) were 66.7%, 81.5%, and 90.7%, respectively. Non-CR at 1 month (NCR₁), 3 months (NCR₃), and 6 months (NCR₆) showed poor locoregional recurrence-free survival rates (1-year rates of 63.7%, 66.7%, and 0.0%, respectively) compared to CR₁, CR₃, and CR₆ (1-year rates 94.3%, 88.0%, and 91.5%, respectively). Particularly significant differences were seen between CR₆ and NCR₆ (p < 0.001). Of 10 patients with NCR₃, 5 showed CR at 6 months (NCR₃/CR₆). There was no statistical difference in locoregional recurrence-free survival between CR₃ and NCR₃/CR₆ group (p = 0.990). Conclusion: Our data suggest half of patients who did not show CR at 3 months eventually achieved CR at 6 months. Waiting until 6 months after radiotherapy may be appropriate for avoiding additional salvage therapy.

농업적 가뭄이 발생하면 토양의 수분이 감소하여 식생의 광합성 및 성장을 저해한다. 광합성을 통해 대기 중의 이산화탄소가 흡수되며 산소 생산량이 증가하는데, 이러한 광합성에 부정적인 영향이 생긴다면 대기 중의 이산화탄소 농도가 증가한다. 본 연구에서는 다중분광광학센서인 MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) 산출물을 이용하여 토양수분, 식생 활력 및 대기 중의 이산화탄소 농도 간의 관계를 분석하였다. 토양수분의 경우, 기존의 마이크로웨이브 센서는 낮은 공간 해상도로 제공되는 특징으로 인해 소규모 연구 지역 분석에 한계가 있어서 상대적으로 고해상도인 광학센서를 이용한 토양수분 산정 방법을 적용하였다. 또한, MODIS 총일차생산량(Gross Primary Productivity, GPP) 산출물을 이용하여 식생의 호흡과의 관계식을 이용하여 이산화탄소 플럭스를 계산하였다. 원격탐사 기반의 토양수분, 식생지수와 이산화탄소 플럭스를 국내의 극한 가뭄 발생시기인 2014년과 2015년도에 대하여 지점 관측 자료인 플럭스타워 값과 비교 분석하였다. 분석한 결과 토양수분과 식생지수 사이에는 한 달의 지체시간, 식생지수와 이산화탄소 플럭스 사이에는 2주 지체시간이 발생했을 때, 상관성이 높게 나타났다.

국내 식육중 Y. enterocolitica의 분포 조사 및 분리균의 특성을 조사하기 위하여 4월부터 11월사이에 상, 하반기로 나누어 소고기, 돼지고기, 닭고기 463건을 서울, 대전, 광주, 부산에서 구입하여 실험하였다. 전체 식육중 17.5% (81건)에서 Y. enterocolitica가 분리되었으며 닭고기(26.0%)가 가장 많이 오염되어 있었다. 분리율은 계절에 따라 차이를 보였는데 하반기에 수거한 돼지고기와 닭고기에서 상반기보다 2배이상 높은 균 분리율을 보였다. 항생제 감수성 실험결과 대부분의 분리균은 carbenicillin, ampicillin, erythromycin, penicillin, bacitracin에 대해 내성을 나타내는 반면 polymyxin B, kanamycin, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, ciprofloxacin, tetracycline, nalidixic acid, gentamicin등에 감수성을 나타내었다. 분리된 Y. enterocolitica의 혈청형은 serotype O:5가 주종이었고 일본 및 유럽 등지에서 많이 분리되어지는 O:9는 분리되지 않았다. PCR 실험결과 81개의 분리균주중 8균주(10%)가 병원성을 갖고있는 것으로 밝혀졌는데 그 중 6균주가 돼지고기에서 발견되었다. 그리고 돼지고기 분리균주중 병원성이 없는 것으로 널리 알려져 있는 serotype O:5가 PCR 양성반응으로 병원성을 보여 이전 연구들과 상반된 결과를 나타낸 것에 대해서는 더 연구해야할 과제로 남아 있다.

This study was conducted to evaluate the growth rate of landscape trees produced in containers for three year, and the growth rate of the establishment period during sixth month~twelve months after transplanting. Two types of container such as plastic pot(pot) and fabric growing bag(bag) were adopted to restrict tree roots. Each type of container was divided into seven sub-types. One traditional production method was included as comparison. Two landscape woody plant species (Magnolia denudata, Albizzia julibrissin) were planted in the seven sub-types of container. After one or two growing season in the container, the trees of each container type were transplanted. Half of the trees were transplanted in the mild spring season, and the other half were transplanted in the improper summer season. The data was collected on the diameter of root cellar and the tree height in each year. The research results are as follows; 1. Container production method was lower than the traditional production methods by 1.3 times ~ 2 times in the growth rates. 2. The Geocell bag and Root control bag revealed higher growth rates than pp-woven bag. And pot- in-pot(double pot)system revealed higher growth rates than the ether container pot system in A denudata. There were no differences in the growth rates between container production system in Albizzia julibrissin. 3, The growth rates of improper transplanting trees was high in the \"pot\" type - \"bag\" type - \"control\" in descending order. Especially, the growth rates of \"pot\" type revealed higher than \"control\" by 4 times. 4. From the results of ANOVA and Ad hoc test, the variable of growth factors of each container types in improper transplanting experiment was not significant for a range of 5% or 1% level. And the growth rates of traditional production method was lower than the container production method. 5. There was no differences in growth rate between the containerized and the traditional production system in the case of proper transplanting experiment. The growth rates of diameter of root collar was higher in the \"control\". The growth rates of tree height was higher in the \"bag\" type. Finally, based upon the results of this study, subsequent research on the development of container materials and maintaining methods that focused on the growth rates would be required.aintaining methods that focused on the growth rates would be required.

Intramuscular injection(IM) into the gluteal muscles is a common route of medication, but may lead to complications. A retrospective review of 32 patients who required surgical treatment for local complications of buttock injections in children was made at the Taegu Fatima Hospital during a seven-year nine-month period (March 1990 to December 1997). Local complications included acute inflammation, cellulitis and abscess(71.9 %), and fat necrosis(21.9 %), and injection granuloma(6.2 %). Over the half of injections were on the upper and outer quadrant of the buttock, but the other 43.7 % were in the upper and inner or lower and outer quadrant which are considered unsuitable sites for intramuscular injection. The majority of complications developed within fat tissue(90.6 %) rather than within muscle(9.4 %). Two-thirds of the patients were under 2 years of age, this suggests that it is technically difficult to accurately administer IM injections in small children because muscle mass is smaller compared to subcutaneous. In addition subcutaneous fat is more susceptible to chemical irritation. Staph. aureus was the predominant organism, isolated in 84.6 % of the patients with abscesses. Treatment consisted of needle aspiration, incision and drainage, curettage, or surgical excision. In conclusion, the major factor that contributes to complications following IM of the buttock appears to be the inadvertent intrafat rather than of IM injection. Accurate injection into the muscles based on a knowledge of pelvic anatomy as well as the potential complications is necessary to prevent complications.

This study was conducted on 419 middle school students (214 boys, 205 girls) in order to examine the general aspects, dietary habits, and performance of the school food services available to them in the Chungnam area. The mean age of the subjects was 15.1 years. The average heights and weights were 164.5 cm and 55.6 kg for boys and 158.9 cm and 49.4 kg for girls, respectively. The influence of parents was found to have a significant effect on the students' nutritional knowledge. Exactly 45.1% of subjects said that they needed time for nutritional education, and 54.2% of subjects answered that they have not received any nutritional education. The amount of spending money and expenditures for snacks per month were positively correlated with family income. Breakfast was skipped more than once per week in more than half of all students. Exactly 40.5% of subjects were satisfied with their schools' food services. As food services are more likely to correct unbalanced diets and provide an incentive for change towards better dietary habits, school food services can play a role in correcting unbalanced dietary behaviors.
