  • 연안 천해에 서식하는 근저성 (epibenthic) 동물플랭크톤의 일종인 곤쟁이, A. kokuboi를 수온 $25^{\circ}C$와 염분 16, 24 및 $32\%o$에서 Artemia sp. 부화유생을 먹이로 공급하면서 성체와 치하에 대한 페놀의 급성 및 만성독성 영향을 조사하였다. 전 실험구에서 시간경과별 반수치사농도는 성체의 경우 31.31-l.49ppm 페놀도 범위였으며, 치하에서는 6.90-0.26ppm범위였다. 페놀에 의한 폐사율은 염분이 낮을수록 증가하였다. 성체에 대한 페놀의 96hr-반수치사농도는 염분 16, 24 및 $32\%o$에서 각각 1.49, 2.71 및 4.53ppm였으며 치하에서는 동일 염분에서 각각 026, 0.56 및 0.71ppm였다. 치하에 대한 성체의 96시간-반수치사농도의 비는 염분 16, 24 및 $32\%o$에서 각각 5.73, 4.84 및 6.38로서 성체에 비해 치하가 훨씬 더 민감했다. 성체와 치하의 반수치사시간 $(LT_50)$을 비교하면, 성체는 페놀실험농도 1.7-12.7ppm 범위에서 반수치사시간은 384.7-29.0 시간의 범위를 나타내었으며, 치하의 경우 페놀실험농도 0.5-6.0ppm 범위에서 반수치사시간은 132.2-18.7 시간의 범위였다. 성체와 치하에서 가장 낮은 반수치사시간값은 페놀의 실험최고농도와 최저실험염분의 조합구에서 나타났으며, 성체보다 치하가 훨씬 낮은 값을 보였다. A kokuboi 성체에 대해 아치사영향농도와 그 반농도에서 행한 장기생존영향을 보면, 염분 $32\%o$에 폭로된 개체들이 16 또는 $24\%o$ 염분구에 폭로된 개체들보다 높은 생존율을 나타내었다. 성체의 산소소비율은 페놀의 농도가 증가하고 폭로시간이 경과할수록 현저히 감소하였으며, 동일한 페놀 농도에서도 염분이 낮을수록 현저히 감소하였다. 결론적으로 곤쟁이, A kokuboi는 페놀독성에 대해 매우 민감한 생리적 반응을 보였다. 따라서 생물검정을 위한 지표생물로서의 가능성이 기대된다.

  • In the present study, we address systemically a case of renal disease developed in a 1 year-old male cocker spaniel dog in terms of clinical signs, clinical pathology and pathological examinations. The animal has been suffered from renal dysfunction signs such as polyuria, anorexia, vomiting, diarrhea and weight loss. The dog was very weak and emaciated and had foamy contents with foul-smell in oral cavity. The animals showed notable decrease in the number of red blood cells and severe decreases of hemoglobin and hematocrit with or without changes of mean corpuscular volume and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration values, indicating microcytic or normocytic hypochromatic anemia. In serum chemistry, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, phosphorous, Na and Cl, which are associated with renal function, were dramatically increased. In addition, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate transferase, alkaline phosphatase, cholesterol, lipase and amylase were also significantly elevated, while K concentration was notably decreased. Urinalysis indicated prominent proteinuria with increase of bilirubin. Despite of symptomatic treatments, the dog was getting worse in healthy condition and dead in the end. At necropsy, both kidneys were brownish, pale, slightly small, and have diffuse, firm and subcapsular pits. Histologically, the kidneys indicated prominent segmental or diffuse interstitial fibrosis in cortex and medulla as well as glomerulonephritis. The clinical signs, clinical pathology and histopathological abnormalities of the young dog presented were consistent with chronic glomerulonephropathy, which was suspected to be a case of familial renal disease in the juvenile cocker spaniel dog.

  • Two feeding experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of dietary genetically modified (GM) soya and com on growth performance, feed utilization and body composition of juvenile olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus and rockfish, Sebastes schlegelii. For each fish species, four isonitrogenous (50% crude protein) and isocaloric (4.1 kcal/g) diets (designated as nGM soya, GM soya, nGM com and GM com) were formulated to contain 20% non-GM (nGM) and GM soya and com. Thirty olive flounder (initial body weight, 15.4${\pm}$0.4 g) and fifty rockfish (initial body weight, 3.1${\pm}$0.02 g) were distributed in each 400 L tank (200 L water) in a flow through system. Each experimental diet was fed to triplicate groups of fish to visual satiation, twice a day (9:00 hand 17:00 h) for 6 weeks. Growth performance was measured every three weeks. No effects of GM feedstuffs on survival were observed. Dietary inclusion of GM feedstuffs did not affect growth performance and feed utilization of fishes, except for rockfish fed GM com. Rockfish fed the GM com diet showed higher weight gain, daily feed intake and daily protein intake than did fish fed the nGM com diet, but no significant differences were observed in final body weight between the dietary treatments. Condition factor, hepatosomatic index, visceral somatic index and body composition were not altered by the inclusion of GM feedstuffs. These results indicate that dietary inclusion of GM soya and com could have no effects on growth performance and feed utilization of juvenile flounder and rockfish. Lower weight gain and feed intake in flounder and rockfish fed the diets containing 20% soya were likely due to anti-nutritional factors, rather than transgenic factors in the feedstuffs. Dietary inclusion of GM soya and com at the level tested did not alter the body composition of fishes. Further studies to investigate the effects of GM feedstuffs on health conditions and the development of fishes, as well as those of residue of transgenic fragments in ambient environments and in animals are necessary for safe use of the ingredients in aquaculture.

  • Microalgae have been utilized in diverse industries including aquaculture. Among the microalgae, dinoflagellates are known to have various bioactive compounds, and thus the interest in their application to industry has increased. In order to test their potential as food materials for aquaculture animals, the crude protein contents and compositions of amino acids of six dinoflagellates Heterocapsa rotundata (family Heterocapsaceae), Ansanella granifera (Suessiaceae), Alexandrium andersonii (Ostreopsidaceae), Takayama tasmanica (Brachidiniaceae), Takayama helix, and Gymnodinium smaydae (Gymnodiniaceae) belonging to diverse families were analyzed. The percentage of the amount of the crude protein relative to dry weight of T. tasmanica was the highest (65%) and that of A. andersonii was the lowest (26%). However, the highest percentage of total detected amino acids in crude protein was found in A. andersonii (98.2%). In all six dinoflagellates, glutamic acid was the most dominant amino acid in crude protein. However, the second main amino acid was aspartic acid for H. rotundata, A. granifera, T. helix, and G. smaydae, but were arginine and leucine for A. andersonii and T. tasmanica, respectively. Furthermore, T. tasmanica and T. helix did not have taurine and gamma-aminobutyric acid, whereas the other dinoflagellates possessed them. The percentages of essential amino acid contents of the dinoflagellates met the requirement levels for juvenile shrimps. In addition, the dinoflagellates were not toxic to the brine shrimp Artemia salina. Compared with the other microalgae reported so far, H. rotundata and A. andersonii can be used for arginine-rich diets, T. tasmanica for valine and leucine-rich diets, A. granifera for histidine-rich diets, T. helix for threonine-rich diets, and G. smaydae for lysine-rich diets. Therefore, based on their biochemical composition and toxicity to Artemia, the dinoflagellates could be used as essential amino acid sources for cultivating animals in the aquaculture industry.

  • The fluoroquinolones are an important group of antibiotics widely used in the treatment of various infectious diseases in adults, as a result of an excellent spectrum of activity, good tissue penetration and convenient ways of administration. In recent decades, there has been extensive development, clinical investigation, licensure and use of fluoroquinolone antibiotics. However, the use of fluoroquinolones in children has been limited because of their potential to induce arthropathy in juvenile animals. Despite class label warnings against use in children, prescriptions for quinolone antibiotics to treat infections in children have become increasingly prevalent. The main use of fluoroquinolones in pediatrics should be, understandably, in serious life-threatening infections for which other antibiotics therapies are not effective or available. While most of the published studies failed to detect an increased rate of articular adverse effects in children treated with fluoroquinolones, an increase in the use of these compounds, particularly in community-acquired lower respiratory infections, could accelerate the emergence of multidrug-resistant (including fluoroquinolone) pneumococcal strains. This review will discus the main issues related to the use of fluoroquinolones in children, the major problems of resistance developing among these compounds, with special emphasis on the potential side effects and skilled use of these alternative potent drugs in pediatric infection.

  • Fabrea salina is a hypersaline ciliate having importance as a live food source for juvenile stages of aquatic animals including smaller invertebrates. The analysis of this ciliate for proximate and biochemical composition was carried out. The moisture, protein, fat, carbohydrate and ash content of F. salina from natural sources were 86.66$\pm$0.380, 56.66$\pm$0.494%, 36.66$\pm$0.614%, 1$\pm$0.073% and 4$\pm$0.182%, respectively. Gas chromatographic analysis (percent area below the curve) revealed that the presence of oleic acid was higher over other fatty acids in both natural and cultured F. salina. The absolute content of oleic acid was higher in natural (18.91% area) than in the cultured (10.74% area) F. salina. Linoleic and linolenic acids were also among major fatty acids with the percentage area of 16.29 and 14.58, respectively. The number of fatty acids in cultured Fabrea was less as compared to the natural ones and the oleic acid was followed by palmitic acid, palmitoleic acid, linoleic acid and stearic acid.

  • Fluoroquinolones are an important class of antibiotics that are widely used in adult patients because of their broad spectrum of activity, good tissue penetration, and oral bioavailability. However, fluoroquinolone use in children is limited because juvenile animals developed arthropathy in previous experiments on fluoroquinolone use. Indications for fluoroquinolone use in patients younger than 18 years, as stated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, include treatment of complicated urinary tract infections and postexposure treatment for inhalation anthrax. In Korea, the systemic use of fluoroquinolones has not been approved in children younger than 18 years. Although concerns remain regarding the adverse musculoskeletal effects of fluoroquinolones in children, their use in the pediatric population has increased in many circumstances. While pediatricians should be aware of the indications and adverse effects of fluoroquinolones, recent studies have shown that the risk for musculoskeletal complications in children did not significantly increase following fluoroquinolone treatment. In addition, fluoroquinolones may be particularly helpful in treating multidrug-resistant infections that have not responded to standard antibiotic therapy in immunocompromised patients. In the present article, we provide an updated review on the safety and current recommendations for using fluoroquinolones in children.

황복과 새우의 복합사육시 황복에 의한 흰반점바이러스(WSSV) 감염 새우의 선택적 포식 효과 (Selective Predatory Effect of River Puffer on WSSV-infected Shrimp in Culture of Shrimp with River Puffer under Laboratory Scale)

  • 흰반점바이러스(WSSV, white spot syndrome virus)는 세계적으로 새우양식산업에 가장 심각한 피해를 주는 질병으로 우리나라에는 1993년 서해안에서 처음 보고된 이래 해마다 축제식 새우양식장에 반복적으로 대량폐사를 가져오고 있다. WSSV는 전염성이 매우 강한 바이러스로서 새우양식장에 내에서 감염된 새우들 간에 공식에 의하여 빠르게 감염이 확산될 수 있다. 황복과 같은 육식성 어류는 감염새우 혹은 약한 새우를 선택적으로 포식함으로써 바이러스의 발병을 지연 혹은 억제시킬 수 있는 것으로 알려져 있어 양식현장에서 새우와 함께 복합적으로 양식이 시도되고 있지만 황복의 감염새우에 대한 선택적 포식의 정도와 효과에 대해서는 보고되어 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 WSSV에 감염된 새우와 비감염된 건강한 새우를 대상으로 사육생물의 연령과 크기에 따른 황복의 선택적 포식효과를 조사하기 위하여 흰다리새우 Litopenaeus vannamei의 치하와 5개월산 황복, 중형 새우와 16개월산 황복으로 구분하여 원형수조($28.26\;m^2$)에서 사육실험을 실시한 결과, 치하와 5개월산 황복의 복합사육의 경우 건강새우와 감염새우의 생존율은 각각 89.1%, 46.0%였으며 중형새우와 16개월산 황복의 실험에서는 건강새우와 감염새우의 생존율이 각각 48%, 4%로서 모두 감염새우가 건강새우에 비해 생존율이 크게 떨어져 황복은 건강새우보다는 감염새우를 선택적으로 포식하는 것으로 나타났다. 황복은 크기에 관계없이 단위체중당 하루에 포식하는 새우의 총 중량은 크게 차이가 나지 않으며 새우의 크기와 밀도의 차이에 따라서도 차이를 보이지 않았다. 또한 황복은 감염새우를 선택적으로 포식하기는 하지만 감염새우가 부족할 경우에는 새우의 건강상태와는 무관하게 일정량의 새우를 포식하기 때문에 새우양식장에 황복을 넣을 때는 황복의 입식시기와 밀도 뿐 아니라 황복의 총중량도 충분히 고려되어야 한다.

  • Tasan Jeong Yak-yong is great scholar, who makes a synthesis of Sil-hak[實學, Practical Science of Korea], reformer of society, and a poet in the Joseon Dynasty. He expressed contradiction and conflict of those days by intellectual language, and reperceived basic ideology of the Joseon society. Also he theorized dissatisfaction of the people about those days and its system as form of religion. We can divide Tasan's life into two times. The first part is his ages 16~39 in the period of Jeong-jo(1777~1800). The second part is in the period of Sun-jo(1801~1834). In this period, he was exiled into Gang-jin for 17 years. After banishment, he lived a quiet life for the rest of his life in his hometown. His allegoric poetry were written in this second period. The special feature of allegoric poetry is strong satire. An allegory would be that is 'king's ear', which the barber has sight, or the barber's voice, which has divulged king's secret among the bamboos. Otherwise it would be that is the sound 'king's ear is donkey's ear' in the bamboos. This sound is divulging of the true donkey's ear. It doesn't travel to audiences, but travels trough wind in the bamboos. The narration exists just as story that barber can't stand to keep silence about king's secret. There are exposure of true and critical motive as allegoric expression. Tasan's allegoric poetry stand on the basis of his love for the people. Also there reveals his thought deeply with an enormous amount of reading and self-communion. Moreover there are his warm mind with his sharp insight in which captures alive lives as allegoric materials. Most of allegoric poetry satirize actuality of those days to make an excuse for external distinguishing marks of animals and plants. However Tasan's poetry are different from them. After he grasped serious problems from his contemporary actuality, and then choosed allegoric media to express correctly. Because he grasped the special features of lives after minute observation, he could exposure controversial point of the actual. His sharp insight was not limited to allegoric media. He noticed his period and the current of his society sensitively. It made his allegoric poetry as important materials to make us to know the condition of the people in the Joseon Dynasty. Tasan's allegoric poetry is inherited by Baek Seok[白石, 1912~1995] as regular juvenile literature. Baek Seok's juvenile stories are the results of expansion and transition for Tasan's allegoric poetry. Allegoric poetry was the shout of barber to prosecute about social irregularities and contradiction, and the sound of the bamboos to travel moaning of the people in the past. Now allegoric poetry create new emotion to make us to speculate ourselves with our surrounding. This changes are caused by special feature of allegoric poetry as a form to reflect our general lives.
