Metabolic syndrome is a risk factor for cardiovascular and type 2 diabetes. This study was conducted to examine the relevance between nutrition intake, meal quality, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein in Koreans with metabolic syndrome. The 2,536 subjects, aged 19~64, who participated in 2015 National Nutrition Survey were included in this study. The 24-hour recall method was employed to analyze nutrition intake and dietary quality. Subjects were grouped into either the non-metabolic syndrome group (n=1,938) or the metabolic syndrome group (n=598). Total males and females were divided into 3 groups according to the high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) level to study its relationship to metabolic syndrome and its components, including odds ratio (OR) and confidence interval (CI). Results showed the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) value was higher in the metabolic syndrome group (3.37) than non-metabolic syndrome group (1.57) (p<0.001). In the Index of Nutrition Quality, males in the non-metabolic syndrome group showed higher niacin (p<0.05) than males in metabolic syndrome group. Females in the non-metabolic syndrome group had higher vitamin $B_1$ (p<0.01), vitamin $B_2$ (p<0.001), niacin (p<0.05), calcium (p<0.001), and phosphate (p<0.01). Female in the high hs-CRP group showed high OR in blood glucose component (OR 2.488, 95% CI: 1.269~4.879) and metabolic syndrome risk (OR 2.856, 95% CI: 1.292~6.314). Females in the middle hs-CRP group had high triglycerides component (OR 2.956, 95% CI: 1.920~4.551), compared to the low hs-CRP group. The study showed females with higher hs-CRP had a higher risk of metabolic syndrome.

북동태평양 클라리온-클리퍼톤 균열대(Clarion-Clipperton Fracture Zone) 사이에 위치한 연구지역 퇴적물의 입도, 함수율, 입자 밀도, 전밀도, 공극비, 그리고 공극률 등 물리적 특성과 퇴적학적 변화요인을 파악하기 위하여 1999년부터 2002년까지 7회의 조사작업을 통해 연구지역 각 지점에서 다중주상시료채취기로 채취된 69개 표층퇴적물을 분석하였다. 연구지역 퇴적물은 원양성 적점토가 분포하는 북부지역(북위 16-17도), 생물기원의 규질 퇴적물이 분포하는 중부지역(북위 10-11도), 탄산질 퇴적물이 분포하는 남부지역(북위 5-6도)으로 구분되며, 퇴적물의 물리적 특성은 이들 퇴적물의 유형에 따라 뚜렷이 다른 특성을 보인다. 북부지역은 수층의 기초생산성이 낮고 육성기원 입자의 유입이 많으므로 입도는 세립질이며, 함수율이 낮은 특성을 보인다. 반면에 중부지역은 수층의 생산성이 높고 수심이 탄산염보 상심도보다 깊으므로 다공질이며 입자크기가 큰 생물기원 규질 입자의 유입이 높아 평균입도는 가장 조립질이며, 함수율이 매우 높다. 한편, 남부지역은 수심이 탄산염보상심도보다 얕으므로 수층으로부터 유입되는 탄산질 퇴적물이 용해되지 않고 지속적으로 퇴적되어 가장 낮은 함수율과 높은 밀도를 보인다. C-C지역 퇴적물의 물리적 특성과 연관된 주요 요인들은 적도부근 해역의 높은 생산성에 따른 생물기원 입자의 유입, 탄산염보상심도를 고려한 수심 수층 생산성에 비례하는 퇴적률, 대륙으로부터 바람에 의해 유입되는 육성기원 입자의 공급, 그리고 생물기원 퇴적입자의 용해 및 자생광물의 형성과 연관된 저층해수의 화학적 특성 등으로 판단할 수 있다.

본 논문에서는 다차원 인덱스 기반 다단계 k-NN 검색의 성능 향상 문제를 다룬다. 기존 다단계 k-NN 검색에서는 고차원 객체의 저차원 변환으로 인한 정보 손실로 k-NN 질의 결과 매우 큰 허용치(검색 범위)가 결정되어 범위 질의 결과로 많은 후보가 검색된다. 또한, 많은 후보는 후처리 과정에서 매우 많은 I/O 및 CPU 오버헤드를 발생시킨다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같은 고찰에 기반하여 범위 질의의 허용치를 줄여 후보 개수를 줄이고 이를 통해 성능을 향상시키는 방법을 제안한다. 먼저, k-NN 질의 결과로 결정된 허용치를 고차원 및 저차원 객체간 거리 비율로 강제 축소하여 범위 질의에 사용하는 허용치 축소 (근사적) 해결책을 제안한다. 다음으로, k-NN 질의 계수 k 대신 c k 를 사용하여 얻은 보다 타이트(tight)한 허용치로 범위 질의를 수행하는 계수 제어 (정확한) 해결책을 제안한다. 실제 객체 데이터를 사용하여 실험한 결과, 제안한 두 가지 해결책은 기존 다단계 k-NN 검색에 비해 후보 개수와 검색 시간 모두를 크게 향상시킨 것으로 나타났다.

The aim of present experiment was to investigate the effect of protein reduction in commercial broiler chicken rations with incorporation of de-oiled rice bran (DORB) and supplementation of limiting amino acids (valine, isoleucine, and/or tryptophan) with ration formulation either on total amino acid (TAA) or standardized ileal digestible amino acids (SIDAA). The experimental design consisted of $T_1$, TAA control; $T_2$ and $T_3$, 0.75% and 1.5% protein reduction by 3% and 6% DORB incorporation, respectively by replacing soybean meal with supplemental limiting amino acids to meet TAA requirement; $T_4$, SIDAA control, $T_5$ and $T_6$, 0.75% and 1.5% protein reduction by DORB incorporation (3% and 6%) with supplemental limiting amino acids on SIDAA basis. A total of 360 dold fast growing broiler chicks (Vencobb-400) were divided into 36 homogenous groups of ten chicks each, and six dietary treatments described were allocated randomly with six replications. During 42 days trial, the feed intake was significantly (p<0.05) reduced by TAA factor compared to SIDAA factor and protein factor significantly (p<0.05) reduced the feed intake at 1.5% reduction compared to normal protein group. This was observed only during pre-starter phase but not thereafter. The cumulative body weight gain (BWG) was significantly (p<0.05) reduced in TAA formulations with protein step-down of 1.5% ($T_3$, 1,993 g) compared to control ($T_1$, 2,067 g), while under SIDAA formulations, BWG was not affected with protein reduction of 1.5% ($T_6$, 2,076 g) compared to $T_4$ (2,129 g). The feed conversion ratio (FCR) was significantly (p<0.05) reduced in both TAA and SIDAA formulations with 1.5% protein step-down ($T_3$, 1.741; $T_6$, 1.704) compared to respective controls ($T_1$, 1.696; $T_4$, 1.663). The SIDAA formulation revealed significantly (p<0.05) higher BWG (2,095 g) and better FCR (1.684) compared to TAA formulation (2,028 g; 1.721). Intake of crude protein and all limiting amino acids (SID basis) was higher in SIDAA group than TAA group with resultant higher nitrogen retention (4.438 vs 4.027 g/bird/d). The nitrogen excretion was minimized with 1.5% protein reduction (1.608 g/bird) compared to normal protein group (1.794 g/bird). The serum uric acid concentration was significantly reduced in $T_3$ (9.45 mg/dL) as compared to $T_4$ (10.75 mg/dL). All carcass parameters were significantly (p<0.05) higher in SIDAA formulation over TAA formulation and 1.5% protein reduction significantly reduced carcass, breast and thigh yields. In conclusion, the dietary protein can be reduced by 0.75% with TAA formulation and 1.5% with SIDAA formulation through DORB incorporation and supplementation of limiting amino acids and among formulations, SIDAA formulation was better than TAA formulation.

The selective targeting of an integrin ${\alpha}_v{\beta}_3$ receptor using radioligands may enable the assessment of angiogenesis and integrin ${\alpha}_v{\beta}_3$ receptor status in tumors. The aim of this research was to label a peptidomimetic integrin ${\alpha}_v{\beta}_3$ antagonist (PIA) with $^{99m}Tc(CO)_3$ and to test its receptor targeting properties in nude mice bearing receptor-positive tumors. PIA was reacted with tris-succinimidyl aminotriacetate (TSAT) (20 mM) as a PIA per TSAT. The product, PIA-aminodiacetic acid (ADA), was radiolabeled with $[^{99m}Tc(CO)_3(H_2O)_3]^{+1}$, and purified sequentially on a Sep-Pak C-18 cartridge followed by a Sep-Pak QMA anion exchange cartridge. Using gradient C-18 reverse-phase HPLC, the radiochemical purity of $^{99m}Tc(CO)_3$-ADA-PIA (retention time, 10.5 min) was confirmed to be > 95%. Biodistribution analysis was performed in nude mice (n = 5 per time point) bearing receptor-positive M21 human melanoma xenografts. The mice were administered $^{99m}Tc(CO)_3$-ADA-PIA intravenously. The animals were euthanized at 0.33, 1, and 2 hr after injection for the biodistribution study. A separate group of mice were also co-injected with 200 ${\mu}g$ of PIA and euthanized at 1 hr to quantify tumor uptake. $^{99m}Tc(CO)_3$-ADA-PIA was stable in phosphate buffer for 21 hr, but at 3 and 6 hr, 7.9 and 11.5% of the radioactivity was lost as histidine, respectively. In tumor bearing mice, $^{99m}Tc(CO)_3$-ADA-PIA accumulated rapidly in a receptor-positive tumor with a peak uptake at 20 min, and rapid clearance from blood occurring primarily through the hepatobiliary system. At 20 min, the tumor-to-blood ratio was 1.8. At 1 hr, the tumor uptake was 0.47% injected dose (ID)/g, but decreased to 0.12% ID/g when co-injected with an excess amount of PIA, indicating that accumulation was receptor mediated. These results demonstrate successful $^{99m}TC$ labeling of a peptidomimetic integrin antagonist that accumulated in a tumor via receptor-specific binding. However, tumor uptake was very low because of low blood concentrations that likely resulted from rapid uptake of the agent into the hepatobiliary system. This study suggests that for $^{99m}Tc(CO)_3$-ADA-PIA to be useful as a tumor detection agent, it will be necessary to improve receptor binding affinity and increase the hydrophilicity of the product to minimize rapid hepatobiliary uptake.

본 연구는 마산만의 적조원인 식물플랑크톤의 천이와 대발생 변화 양상을 밝히고자 이 지역을 대표할 수 있는 1개 정정에서 2003년 11월부터 2004년 10월까지 강우와 연평균 기온차를 포함한 기후학적 요인, 물리 화학적 요인 그리고 식물플랑크톤 군집을 조사하였다. 영양염은 타해역과 비교하였을 때, 암모니아염은 높은 농도를 보였으나, 질산염은 비슷한 농도를 보였다. 그리고 규산염은 타 해역에 비해 낮은 농도를 보였으며, 인산염은 빈영양 수역에 포함될 정도로 낮은 농도를 보여 식물플랑크톤 성장의 제한요소로 작용하였다. 식물플랑크톤 현존량의 탄소량은 2003년 동계와 2004년 하계에, 엽록소-${\alpha}$는 2003년 늦은 추계부터 동계까지 그리고 2004년 하계에 높게 나타나 비슷한 경향을 보였으며, 개체수는 2003년 동계와 2004년 추계에 높았다. 조사기간 동안 출현한 식물플랑크톤은 총 78종으로 동정되었으며, 이 중 우점종은 규조류 Skeletonema costatum, Cylindrotheca closterium, 와편모조류 Heterocapsa triquetra, Prorocentrum minimum, P. triestinum, 침편모조류 Heterosigma akashiwo로 나타났다. 우점종의 계절적 변화 양상을 살펴보면 P. minimum은 늦은 추계부터 동계까지, H. triquetra는 늦은 동계에 우점하였다. P. triestinum은 늦은 춘계부터 이른 하계까지, H. akashiwo는 춘계부터 조금 높은 경향을 보이다가 늦은 하계에 C. closterium이 그리고 S. costatum은 추계에 가장 우점하였다. CCA 분석결과, 개체수로 표현되는 현존량은 규조류와 관계가 있으며, 환경요인 중에서 수온, 질산염과 인산염의 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 탄소량과 엽록소-${\alpha}$로 표현되는 현존량은 규조류 뿐만 아니라 와편모조류와 침편모조류와 관계가 있으며, 염분, 규산염과 인산염의 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 조사기간을 포함한 최근 6년 동안의 기온의 상승에 따른 수온의 상승은 동계 적조를 발생시키는 원인이 되었다. 또한, 동계 적조에 따른 영양염 고갈과 춘계의 강우량 감소에 따른 영양염 공급의 제한은 마산만에서 상습적으로 발생되는 춘계 적조의 발생을 억제하였을 것으로 판단된다. 결과적으로 2004년도의 전형적인 대발생 양상의 변화는 수온의 상승과 강우량의 감소가 중요한 영향을 미쳤을 것으로 추정된다.

We researched nitrogen and green manure yield of crotalaria by seeding rate; 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 kg $ha^{-1}$ in upland soil to find out crotalaria's optimal seeding rate. Crotalaria's plant height and number of leaves increased when the harvest time was later regardless of its seeding rate. Its nitrogen content of above-ground part was 19.8 g $ha^{-1}$, and C/N ratio was 22.5. The highest nitrogen content (50.3 g $ha^{-1}$) was found in flowers part, followed by its leaves, roots and stems. The green manure yields of crotalaria increased when the harvest time was later. The green manure yield of crotalaria was biggest in 50kg $ha^{-1}$ which was low in seeding rate. It tended to decrease when the seeding rate was higher, and the nitrogen yield had the same tendency. Therefore, the appropriate seeding rate was 50kg $ha^{-1}$ and the time for application to soil was considered to be the flowering stage.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The purpose of the current study was to investigate the effect of red pericarp glutinous rice rich in polyphenols (Jakwangchalbyeo, red rice) on serum and hepatic levels of cholesterol and hepatic protein expression linked to synthesis and degradation of cholesterol in a hypercholesterolemic mice diet as compared with brown rice. MATERIALS/METHODS: C57BL/6 male mice were randomly divided into four groups (n = 5 each), which were fed different diets for a period of 12 weeks: American Institute of Nutrition (AIN)-93G diet, AIN-93G diet with 2% cholesterol, brown rice with 2% cholesterol, or red rice with 2% cholesterol. RESULT: Consumption of red rice resulted in a significant decrease in serum level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and hepatic levels of triglyceride and total-cholesterol. Expression of acyl-coenzyme A cholesterol acyltransferase-2 (ACAT-2), sterol regulatory element binding protein-2 (SREBP-2), and 3-hydroxyl-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase was decreased, while expression of phosphorylated adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinase (p-AMPK)/AMPK ratio, cholesterol 7-${\alpha}$-hydroxylase (CYP7a1), and sterol 12-${\alpha}$-hydroxylase (CYP8b1) was increased in mice fed red rice. Brown rice had similar effects on cholesterol metabolism, but the effect of red rice was significantly greater than that of brown rice. CONCLUSIONS: The current study suggested that red rice had a hypocholesterolemic effect by lowering hepatic cholesterol synthesis through ACAT-2, HMG-CoA reductase, and SREBP-2, and by enhancing hepatic cholesterol degradation through CYP7a1 and CYP8b1 in mice fed a hypercholesterolemic diet.

This study was conducted to investigate the combined effects of VFA composition of rumen fluid and heat exposure (30${\pm}$2$^{\circ}C$) on the general clinical view and insulin secretory response to glucose in sheep. The total infusion of nutrients was examined in sheep via the technique of continuous alimentation. Four adult Suffolk sheep fitted with a permanent ruminal cannula and a simple T-shaped duodenal cannula were used. A peristaltic pump was used to infuse the solutions of volatile fatty acid triglycerides (VFA-TG) consisting of 70 triacetin : 20 tripropionin : 10 tributyrin (low propionin division: LP) and 50 triacetin : 40 tripropionin : 10 tributyrin (high propionin division: HP) on the basis of energy and minerals into the rumen, and casein solution into the duodenum. The effects of heat exposure and type of the levels of VFA-TG solutions on the insulin secretory response to glucose in sheep were investigated by using hyperglycemic clamp (HGC) technique. The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1. During the heat exposure (latter half of the infusion period), respiration rate, heart rate and rectal temperature increased (P＜0.01, P＜0.01, P＜0.05), but the levels of VFA-TG solutions (LP and HP division) did not affect the general clinical view except for the heart rate. 2. In the HGC technique, glucose infusion rate (GIR) and mean plasma insulin increments (MPII) tended to be ower in the heat exposure than in the thermoneutral environment, but no significant difference was found among the treatments. GIR and MPII remained unchanged between the levels of VFA-TG solutions. 3. In the HGC technique, ratio of MPII to GIR (MPII/GIR) which represents pancreatic ${\beta}$-cell response to glucose stimulation remained unchanged among the treatments.

BACKGROUND: Recent studies for heavy metal stabilization in soil were mainly focused on finding out new materials and its efficiency. But, such a stabilization method can cause disturbance to soil, leading improper environment for agriculture. The object of this study was to demonstrate the effect of the incorporation of green manure crops on heavy metal-contaminated soil. METHODS AND RESULTS: Soil contaminated with heavy metals was collected from the agricultural soils affected by the abandoned mine. Lime stone was selected and treated to contaminated soil. Three kinds of legume green manure crops; Alfalfa (Medicago sativa), Hairy vetch (Vicia villosa), Red clover (Trifolium pratense) were subsequently cultivated in greenhouse condition. It was found that lime stone increased soil pH and decreased the amount of heavy metal absorption by green manure. The application of green manure residues on soil increased soil pH and inorganic nitrogen. CONCLUSION: The C/N ratio of three green manures was low, indicating fast decomposition rate, resulting in nitrogen supplement, consequently. Considering the point that the soil was used for agricultural purpose, it was recommended that hairy vetch and red clover were preferred. Nevertheless, the heavy metal availability was also increased. Thus, it seemed that further study was needed to confirm that how long maintain a phenomenon.
