Purpose: Tibial plateau fractures cause a variety of problems in the knee joint. The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics of the meniscus injuries in tibial plateau fracture arthroscopically. Materials and Methods: Thirty-three out of 39 consecutive patients diagnosed with tibial plateau fractures underwent arthroscopy between March 2007 and March 2010. According to Schatzker classification, there were 1 type I (3.3%), 19 type II (53.3%), 4 type III (13.3%), 2 type IV (6.6%), 2 type V (6.6%) and 5 type VI (20%) fracture patterns in 33 patients. Results: Twenty-five cases (75.8%) had lateral meniscus tears. There were 18 meniscal tears in 19 cases of Schatzker type II fractures (94.7%), 3 meniscal tears out of 4 cases of Schatzker type III fractures (75%) and 4 meniscal tears out of 5 cases of Schatzker type VI fractures (80%). The most commonly affected site (22/25) was the anterior horn of the lateral meniscus. Of the 25 documented meniscal tears, all but one were vertical longitudinal tear at meniscocapsular junction so most cases are amenable to arthroscopic repair. Conclusion: Arthroscopy for the meniscal injuries in tibial plateau fractures is a valuable diagnostic and treatment tool, we recommend arthroscopy in tibial plateau fracture.

The increase in the area of impervious water due to the recent abnormal weather conditions and rapid urbanization led to a decrease in the amount of low current, resulting in an increase in the amount of surface runoff. Increased surface runoff is causing erosion, destruction of underwater ecosystems, human and property damage in urban areas due to flooding of urban river. The damage has been increasing in Korea recently due to localized heavy rains, typhoons and floods. As a countermeasure, the Busan Metropolitan Government will proceed with the creation of the Eco-Delta City waterfront zone in Busan with the aim of creating a future-oriented waterfront city from 2012 to 2023. Therefore, the current urban river conditions and precipitation data were collected by utilizing SWMM developed by the Environment Protection Agency, and the target basin was selected to simulate flood damage. Measures to reduce flood damage in various cases were proposed using simulated data. It is a method to establish a disaster prevention plan for each case by establishing scenario for measures to reduce flood damage. Considering structural and non-structural measures by performing an analysis of the drainage door with a 30-year frequency of 80 minutes duration, the expansion effect of the drainage pump station is considered to be greater than that of the expansion of the drainage door, and 8 scenarios and corresponding alternatives were planned in combination with the pre-excluding method, which is a non-structural disaster prevention measure. As a result of the evaluation of each alternative, it was determined that 100㎥/s of the pump station expansion and the pre-excluding EL.(-)1.5m were the best alternatives.

The composition analysis of various radish (Rapharnus sativus L.) leaves and the effects of drying condition on the quality characteristics of hot-air dried radish leaves were carried out by a response surface methodology. Independent variables put in drying temperature $(X_1)$ and drying time $(X_2)$, dependent variables put in color, calcium, iron, vitamin, etc. In the proximate composition of radish leaves by varieties, there were no significant differences in the ash, protein, lipid, calcium and iron content of samples, but there were significant differences in the vitamins, chlorophyll and color value of samples. The quality characteristics on dried radish leaves by central composite design, it was significant value on the moisture content, chlorophyll and color value according to drying temperature and drying times. But there were no significant differences in the contents of calcium $(31.41{\sim}35.80\;mg/g,\;dry\;base)$ and iron $(0.21{\sim}0.29\;mg/g\;dry\;base)$. The multiplex regression coefficients analysis were calculated with independent variables $(X_1,\;X_2)$ and dependent variables (moisture, chlorophyll, color value). The calculated coefficient correlations for the each samples were $R^2>0.97$. The effects of drying temperature were greater than drying time in the total chlorophyll content changes of radish leaves. Based on the present study, the optimum drying condition for the lowest color changes and effective reduction of moisture of radish leaves were expected to be $5{\sim}6$ hours at $70^{\circ}C$.

Coagulation and sedimentation tests were conducted with clay and three different coagulants of soil origin (AC-A, AC-B, AC-C) to determine optimal coagulant types and doses to remove algae in stagnant water bodies such as reservoirs. Raw water had an algal density of 2,950 cells/mL and was dominated by Cyanobacteria. Removal rates of algal density by clay (50 mg/L) were 49% and 85% after 10 and 30 minutes sedimentation, respectively. Other natural coagulants achieved 80-90% removal in 10 minutes and 89-94% removal in 30 minutes of sedimentation after adding 20 mg/L each. AC-A was the optimal coagulant from this study considering algal removal rates and other water quality parameters such as turbidity and pH. For the same removal rates of algae, raw waters with higher algal densities required higher coagulant doses although no strong corelation was observed. The coagulants of soil origin did not impact orgnic contents and pH of raw water, but remove phosphate up to 70%.

The purpose of this study is to suggest a method to reduce the dose by Analyzing the dose area product (DAP) and image quality according to the change of tube current using NEMA Phantom. The spatial resolution and low contrast resolution were used as evaluation criteria in addition to signal to noise ratio (SNR) and contrast to noise ratio (CNR), which are important image quality parameters of intervention. Tube voltage was fixed at 80 kVp and the amount of tube current was changed to 20, 30, 40, and 50 mAs, and the dose area product and image quality were compared and analyzed. As a result, the dose area product increased from $1066mGycm^2$ to $6160mGycm^2$ to 6 times as the condition increased, while the spatial resolution and low contrast resolution were higher than 20 mAs and 30 mAs, Spatial resolution and low contrast resolution were observed below the evaluation criteria. In addition, the SNR and CNR increased up to 30 mAs, slightly increased at 40 mAs, but not significantly different from the previous one, and decreased at 50 mAs. As a result, the exposure dose significantly increased due to overexposure of the test conditions and the image quality deteriorated in all areas of spatial resolution, low contrast resolution, SNR and CNR.

This research was conducted to investigate the effect of starter culture(Lactobacillus plantarum), glucono-delta-lactone(GdL), and NaCl on the production of staphylococcal enterotoxin A in the processing of fermented sausages. With the increasing amount of GdL(0, 0.23, 0.50 and 0.75%) added the production of enterotoxin was significantly decreased(p>0.01). Lactobacillus plantarum as starter culture were inoculated at the level of $10^6\;cells/g$. When GdL was not added, the amount of production of enterotoxin in the group with and without the starter culture were 40 and 80 ng/10g, respectively. With the addition of 0.5%, GdL, the maximum amount of enterotoxin produced in the group with and without starter culture were 30 and 50 ng/10g. These results showed the inhibiting effect of starter culture in the production of enterotoxin. When the amount of enterotoxin production was compared with the addition of 2.7 and 1.7% NaCl, the production of enterotoxin was higher at 2.7% NaCl level.

In Korean beef market, one of the major problems is mislabeling or fraudulent distribution of Holstein dairy meat or imported beef as domestic Hanwoo meat. Therefore, there has been a great need for a development of technology to identify beef breeds in meat and meat products. This study was carried out to develop the accurate and reliable method for the identification of beef breed using PCR-RFLP marker of MC1R, MGF and TYRPl genes affecting coat colors in cattle. A single base substitution (G\longrightarrowT transition) at the codon for amino acid position 104 of MC1R gene was identified between Hanwoo and Holstein and Angus breeds. The change at this position creates Msp I restriction site in Holstein and Angus, but not in Hanwoo. When the DNA amplified products (537 bp) was digested with Msp I, Hanwoo meat showed a single band of 537bp, while two fragments of 329bp and 208 bp were observed in Holstein meat and Angus breed, respectively. Thus, breed-specific RFLP marker in the MC1R gene can be used to distinguish between Hanwoo meat and Holstein and Angus meats. In the RFLP genotype of MGF gene, the frequency of r/r type was 75％ in Manwoo, whereas the frequency of R/R was 80％ in Hereford breed. Holstein and Angus breeds showed 100％ for R/r type. Therefore, Hanwoo meat showed significant difference in the MGF genotype frequencies compared with those of Holstein meat and imported beef cattle breeds. However, TYRP1 gene showed the same genotype in all breeds examined. Thus, this TYRP1 gene can not be used as a molecular marker for breed identification. As a consequence, we suggest that RFLP markers of the MC1R and MGF coat color genes could be used as DNA marker for identification of Hanwoo meat from Holstein and imported meats.

A study was carried out to establish the detection method for irradiated cereals. Cereals were ground and irradiated at 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, 10, 15 kGy using a $Co^{60}$ irradiator. The viscosities decreased in all samples by increasing irradiation dose. The viscosity of the Panicum millaceum (Korean) and Andropogon sorghum (Korean) paste dropped from $143.38{\pm}0.44$ and $35.92{\pm}1.90$ in the control to $6.60{\pm}1.16$ and $3.86{\pm}0.32$, respectively, in the samples irradiated at 15 kGy. These trends were similar to samples from china. Regression equation and coefficients of viscosity of Panicum millaceum (Korean and China) and Andropogon sorghum (Korean and China) were 0.80 (y=-27.789x＋150.17), 0.98 (y=-3.367x＋88.93), 0.84 (y=-6.0466x＋35.49) and 0.84 (y=-13.346x＋101.67) at 50 rpm. All samples resulted in a decrease in specific parameter by increasing rpm after irradiation. Parameter values showed dose-dependent relationship between unirradiated and irradiated samples and indicated that all values of unirradiated samples were higher than the irradiated ones. These results suggest that the detection of irradiated cereals at various doses using viscometric methods is possible.
