우리나라는 노인인구의 증가에 따라 골다공증과 같은 골격질환자가 증가하고 있으며 국민 식생활 평가에서 칼슘섭취의 부족이 좀처럼 해결되지 못하고 있다. 보론이 식물성 식품에 풍부하다는 연구결과를 고려할 때 식물성 식품을 많이 섭취하는 우리나라에서 칼슘과 보론과의 관계를 규명하는 연구는 매우 필요하다고 생각한다. 따라서 본 연구에서 흰쥐를 대상으로 칼슘과 보론의 섭취수준을 달리하여 4주간 사육한 후 난소절제군과 비절제군으로 나눠 다시 8주간 사육하여 칼슘과 보론의 섭취수준이 칼슘평형에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 사료섭 취 량과 체중증가량은 칼슘 섭취량이 높을수록, 난소절제군이 비절제군보다 높았다. 사료효율은 난소절제군이 비절제군보다 높았다. 혈청 중 칼슘 함량은 보론 보충에 따라 저칼슘군에서는 증가하였으나 적정과 고칼슘군에서는 감소하였다. 칼슘평형에서 칼슘 섭취량은 칼슘과 보론 섭취량이 높고 난소 적출을 한 경우 높은 것으로 나타났다. 대변 중 배설량은 난소 절제와 비절제군 모두 칼슘 섭취량이 증가할수록 높았으며, 소변 중 배설량은 칼슘 섭취량이 높을수록 증가한 반면, 보론 보충에 따라서는 감소하였다. 칼슘의 겉보기 흡수율은 칼슘 적정군과 난소절제군이 다른 군보다 높았으며, 칼슘 보유량은 칼슘 섭취량이 증가할수록 고칼슘군에서 난소절제군이 비절제군보다 높았다. 이상의 연구결과를 종합할 때 칼슘의 섭취량이 증가할수록 대변 중 칼슘 배설량이 증가하였지 만 칼슘 보유량은 증가하였고 칼슘의 겉보기 흡수율은 적정 칼슘군이 가장 높았다. 보론의 보충에 따라 칼슘의 겉보기 흡수율과 보유량은 유의한 변화가 없었지만 칼슘 섭취량은 증가하고 소변 중 칼슘 배설량은 감소하여 보론은 칼슘만큼 뚜렷한 영향은 아니지만, 체내의 칼슘이용을 촉진하고 배설을 감소시킴으로써 골격건강에 유용한 작용을 하는 것으로 나타났다.

Background: In Iran, there are high rates of breast cancer. It is among the five most common cancers, the first among cancers diagnosed, and is the leading cause of cancer deaths among Iranian women. Objectives: The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore perception of breast cancer screening among Iranian women who have never had a mammograph. Materials and Methods: The current study was part of a qualitative research conducted by means of content analysis method and purposive sampling of 16 women over the age of 30 years who had not undergone mammography using individual semi-structured interviews. Interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim. The data were under continuous consideration and comparative analysis in order to achieve data saturation. Results: After codification of data, three concept categories were achieved including: i) low awareness, ii) worries, and iii) lack of motivation. Conclusions: Although there is a tendency among Iranian women to participate in breast cancer screening, there is a powerful cultural belief that breasts are sexual organs that should not be discussed publicly. Due to the incidence of breast cancer in Iranian women, it is critical that breast awareness education be performed by health care experts to explore the concepts of breast cancer and breast cancer screening.

Two experiments on commercial broiler chickens (3-37 d) and WL layers (252-364 d) were conducted to study the relative bioavailability of phosphorus (P) from different P supplements in comparison to tricalcium phosphate (TCP), at constant dietary calcium (Ca):P ratio. The P sources tested were dicalcium phosphate (DCP), steam sterilized bone meal (SSBM), commercial mineral mixture (CMM), phosphoric acid (PA) and a combination of CMM + PA. Fluorine (F) content in CMM and SSBM was 13.12 and 0.14 g/kg, respectively. In commercial broiler diets, DCP, SSBM or PA could be used as supplemental P sources without affecting (p<0.05) weight gain, feed intake, tibia ash and, P and Ca contents in tibia ash when compared to TCP. Severity of leg abnormality and deposition of F in bone were higher (p<0.05) in group fed CMM. P retention and serum inorganic P content was significantly reduced (p<0.05) in CMM fed birds compared to those fed TCP, SSBM, PA or CMM+PA. Among other P sources (TCP, SSBM, PA and CMM+PA) the serum inorganic P levels did not vary significantly (p<0.05). The P retention also significantly reduced in CMM fed groups compared to those fed DCP or PA. The P retention significantly increased from 0.183 to 0.216 units by supplementation of PA to CMM diet. In layers, egg production was not affected by replacing TCP with DCP, SSBM, PA or CMM+PA, but significantly (p<0.05) reduced with CMM. Feed (kg)/kg egg mass, egg weight, shell quality (shell weight and shell thickness) and serum Ca levels were not influenced by dietary variation in P source. The poor performance of both broilers and layers fed on CMM based diets could be attributed to the presence of hlgher levels of F (647.8 and 630.1 mg/kg, respectively) and low P utilization. Based on growth, bone mineralization and P retention it is concluded that DCP, SSBM or PA can be used as alternatives to TCP in broiler diets. In WL layer diets, in addition to above P sources, CMM can also be used as supplemental P source by replacing one half of P from CMM with PA without affecting egg production and shell quality.

Purpose: This study was conducted for enhancing the performance of a conventional quick freezer by introducing the supercooling state, using a low-temperature coolant. Methods: In the present investigation, the supercooling process was executed prior to quick freezing for reducing the time by which the temperature passes the zone of maximum ice crystal formation. Every food has different nucleation points and hence, we used silicone oil as the coolant for supercooling for easy modification of temperature. Additionally, for quick freezing, we used liquid nitrogen spray. Results: Using the heat exchanger-type precooler with silicone oil, the temperature of the chamber was easily changed for enabling supercooling. Particularly, the results of the freezing test with garlic indicated that this system improved the hardness of garlic after it was thawed, compared to the conventional freezing method. Conclusions: Before quick freezing, if the food item is subjected to the supercooling state, the time from nucleation to the temperature reaching the frozen state ($-5^{\circ}C$, which is the maximum ice crystal formation zone) will be shorter than that incurred using quick freezing alone. The combination of the heat exchanger-type supercooler and liquid nitrogen sprayer is expected to serve as a promising technology for improving the physicochemical qualities of frozen foods.

In the present work, we describe a simple, cheap, and unexplored method for "green" synthesis of silver nanoparticles using cell extracts of the cyanobacterium Anabaena doliolum. An attempt was also made to test the antimicrobial and antitumor activities of the synthesized nanoparticles. Analytical techniques, namely UV-vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and TEM-selected area electron diffraction, were used to elucidate the formation and characterization of silver-cyanobacterial nanoparticles (Ag-CNPs). Results showed that the original color of the cell extract changed from reddish blue to dark brown after addition of silver nitrate solution (1 mM) within 1 h, suggesting the synthesis of Ag-CNPs. That the formation Ag-CNPs indeed occurred was also evident from the spectroscopic analysis of the reaction mixture, wherein a prominent peak at 420 nm was noted. TEM images revealed well-dispersed, spherical Ag-CNPs with a particle size in the range of 10-50 nm. The X-ray diffraction spectrum suggested a crystalline nature of the Ag-CNPs. FTIR analysis indicated the utilization of a hydroxyl (-OH) group in the formation of Ag-CNPs. Ag-CNPs exhibited strong antibacterial activity against three multidrug-resistant bacteria. Additionally, Ag-CNPs strongly affected the survival of Dalton's lymphoma and human carcinoma colo205 cells at a very low concentration. The Ag-CNPs-induced loss of survival of both cell types may be due to the induction of reactive oxygen species generation and DNA fragmentation, resulting in apoptosis. Properties exhibited by the Ag-CNP suggest that it may be used as a potential antibacterial and antitumor agent.

Head and neck cancers are amongst the commonest malignancies, accounting for approximately 20% of the cancer burden in India. The major risk factors are tobacco chewing, smoking and alcohol consumption, which are all preventable. This retrospective study presents data from the histopathology register for a five year period from 2002-2006 at Patna Medical College and Hospital, a tertiary care hospital drawing patients from the entire Bihar state, the 3rd most populous state of India with the majority of the population residing in rural areas. Incidence rates based on sex, age, site of lesion, including age standardized incidence rates for males and females, with mean age of presentation, distribution of histological variants and year wise trend were calculated. Out of 455 head and neck neoplasias, 241 were benign while 214 were malignant. The most common age group for all malignant biopsies was 7th decade for males and the 5th decade for females. Malignant cases were commoner in males than females with the male:female ratio of 3.1:1, which was found to be statistically significant by the chi-square (${\chi}^2$) test. The crude rate and age standardized incidence rate was 0.05 and 0.06 per 100,000 population respectively. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) contributed about 96% of all cases, with grade I being the most common. Larynx was the most common site for malignancy, the supraglottic region being its most commonly affected sub-site. This observed incidence patterns in the region are a reminder of widespread unawareness, low healthcare utilization with virtually non-existent cancer programs. It also underlines the need to advocate for reliable cost-effective programs to create awareness, for early detection and plan appropriate management strategies. There is a compelling demand for a cancer registry in this region as well as proper implementation of preventive measures to combat this growing threat of cancer, many of whose risk factors are preventable.

Measurement of triiodothyronine($T_3$) concentration is useful for the diagnosic and treatment of thyroid gland diseases. Fundermental studies of measurement of $T_3$ concentration by radioimmunoassay were performed and values determined by commercially available kit, Coat-A-Count, Diagnostic Products Corporation. The optimal utilization of the radioimmunoassay in measuring $T_3$ concentrations is dependant not only on high quality performance of the assay, but also on their appropriate application to the clinical situation. These are several aspects that must be considered in every individual case. These include factors such as accurate pippeting in reagent preparation in the assay and through decanting to remove all visible moisture after incubation steps and so forth. In attempt to assess quality control of the radioimmunoassay of serum $T_3$, serum pools with high, medium, low $T_3$ concentrations were assayed for each of 5 samples. The results obtained with this study were as follow: 1. The coefficient of variation(C. V.) for the standard curve ranged between $0.2{\sim}3.5%$. 2. It was necessary that both incubation time and temperature should correctly be maintained all the in the assay performance. 3. The precison with the $T_3$ RIA procedure was good. 4. The measured values of serially diluted serum $T_3$ concentration with Ong/dl standard solution was proportional to the predicted values. However dilution curve of distilled water was not strait. 5. Calculated $T_3$ values of patient serum in normal group was $107.8{\pm}25.90ng/dl$ in male patient and $127.29{\pm}24.08ng/dl$ in female patient.
