The objective of this study was to examine the effects of concentrates containing different levels of a vitamin-trace elements premix on milk yield and composition of dairy cows. The trial, which lasted 14 weeks, was conducted from January to March and used 45 multiparous Brown cows in the early phase of lactation. Cows (n = 15 per treatment) were randomly allocated to three dietary treatments: the first group (control, C-0) was fed pelleted concentrate containing background vitamins and trace elements that supplied 1.0 times cows' daily requirements; the second group were fed the same concentrate, but containing 2.5 g/kg of vitamin and trace mineral premix per kg of concentrate (C-2.5); the third group were fed the same concentrate, but containing 5 g/kg of vitamin and trace mineral premix per kg of concentrate (C-5). The daily ration included ad libitum chopped oat hay, and the cows also had 8 h/d grazing on a ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) pasture. During the performance trial, cow milk yield was daily recorded and individual milk samples were analysed for milk composition and to determine milk renneting properties. Cows fed the intermediate premix level (C-2.5) in diet showed the highest fat-corrected milk production (p<0.05) compared to other groups. None of the milk quality parameters studied were influenced by dietary treatment, except for milk rheological parameters (rennet clotting time and curd firmness) that were positively improved in cows fed the C-2.5 diet (p<0.05). The findings from this study show that intermediate level of vitamin-trace elements premix in concentrate can be advantageously used in grazing dairy cows without negative effects on yield and quality of milk produced.

The records of 65 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of primary lung cancer who underwent surgical therapy at the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery of the Keimyung University Hospital were analyzed during the period of 8 years and 4 months, from August, 1978 to December, 1986. The peak incidence was observed in the 5th decade of life and the mean age was 52.9 years old. Male versus female ratio was 8.3:1 Cough was the most frequent presenting symptom, 76.9% then chest discomfort, hemoptysis and dyspnea followed in order. 44.6% of the patient had 2 months of prediagnostic symptomatic period, 72.3% had 5 months, and the mean was 5.7 months. As for preoperative diagnosis, 62 of total 65 patients revealed the mass lesion on simple chest x-ray, and 56 of 65 patients on bronchoscopic biopsy, 10 of 37 patients on sputum cytology and 15 of 15 patients on computerized tomography of the chest were positive. Of the 65 patients, 35 [53.9%] had squamous cell carcinoma, 18 [27.7%] adenocarcinoma, 3 [4.6%] large cell carcinoma, and 3 [4.6%] small cell carcinoma all which was oat cell carcinoma. 83.1% of the total patient was resectable, and 34 underwent pneumonectomy and 20 lobectomy. Of these 65 operations, 29 was radical resection, 25 palliative, and 11 exploratory thoracotomy. As for clinical stagings, 23 patients were in Stage, I, another 23 in Stage II and 19 in Stage III, while 16 was in stage, I, 14 in stage ll and 35 in stage III in postoperative staging evaluation. In correlation of postoperative TNM classification and radical resection, those patients who had lung cancer of stage I [14/16] and stage II [9/13] had more radical resection. As postoperative complications, one patient had massive bleeding, two empyema, one empyema with bronchopulmonary fistula, and one cardiac herniation. Operative mortality rate was 1.5% [1 patient]. Mean duration between 1st operation and discovering recurrence in 18 patients was 12.7 months.

우리나라 주요 사망원인중의 하나가 되고 있는 혈관질환의 주된 위험인자로 고콜레스테롤 혈증이 지적되고 있다. 콜레스테롤 저하효과가 있는 식이 인자에는 단백질의 종류, 지방의 종류와 양, 식이섬유, 우유, 칼슘, flavonoid 등이 있다. 특히 수용성 식이 섬유의 콜레스테롤 저하효과는 현저하며 동물실험과 인체실험을 통하여 확인되었다. 혈장 콜레스테롤 저하효과가 현저한 식이섬유에는 psyllium husk, pectin, oat fiber, guar gum, sodium alginate 등이 있으며, 농도에 비례하여 그 효과가 커지는 것은 아닌듯하다. 수용성 식이섬유의 콜레스테롤 저하효과에 대한 정확한 기작은 알려져 있지 않으나 몇 가지 가설이 제시되고 있다. 첫째, 식이섬유가 장에서 점성용액을 형성하여 지질 흡수를 저해함으로써 혈장과 간 콜레스테롤 농도를 낮춘다는 것이며, 둘째, 체내 콜레스테롤이 체외로 배설되는 유일한 경로인 담즙산의 소장흡수를 방해하고 변으로의 배설을 증가시켜 체내 콜레스테롤 pool 크기를 감소시킨다는 것이다. 세째, 대장미생물에 의해 생성된 식이섬유의 발효부산물인 short chain fatty acids가 콜레스테롤의 합성을 저해한다는 것이다. 이외에도 여러 가설들이 제시되고 있으며, 이러한 가설들이 서로 상호 배제적인 것은 아니며, 단독으로 혹은 복합적으로 작용하는 것으로 보인다.

Small cell carcinoma of the lung is characterized by cells with finely stippled chromatin and scanty cytoplasm as well as a particularly aggressive clinical course and favorable response to the chemotherapy. Recently percutaneous fine needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy has become both widely established and highly respected for the diagnosis of lung cancer. However metastatic small cell carcinoma of lymph node should be cytologically differentiated from the small round cell tumor of particular sites, especially malignant lymphoma, because small ceil carcinoma of classic oat cell type nay simulate small cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. We report five cases of metastatic small cell carcinoma of in-termediate cell type diagnosed by FNA of the enlarged lymph nodes of the neck and axilla. The cytologic smears contained diffuse small neoplastic cells larger than lymphocytes with dense, pyknotic nuclei and extremely scanty cytoplasm. Apparently viable large tumor cells have vesicular nuclei with granular, sometimes very coarse chromatin. The characteristic cytologic features of small cell carcinoma as compared to malignant lymphoma were as follows.: 1) small cells with dense pyknotic nuclei are evenly distributed in the background of apparently viable larger tumor cells, admixed with mature lymphocytes and phagocytic macrophages. 2) small loose aggregates of cells with nuclear melding are indicative of small cell carcinoma rather than non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. 3) the cytoplasmic and nuclear fragments of tumor necrosis are more dominant in the smears of small cell carcinoma. 4) nuclear membrane and nucleoli are generally indistinct in small cell carcinoma due to condensation of chromatin.

Three types of xylanases (EC 3.2.1.8) were detected in the strain Aspergillus niger A-25, one of which, designated as XynIII, also displayed ${\beta}-(l,3-1,4)-glucanase$ (EC 3.2.1.73) activity, as determined by a zymogram analysis. XynIII was purified by ultrafiltration and ion-exchange chromatography methods. Its apparent molecular weight was about 27.9 kDa, as estimated by SDS-PAGE. The purified XynIII could hydrolyze birchwood xylan, oat spelt xylan, lichenin, and barley ${\beta}-glucan$, but not CMC, avicel cellulose, or soluble starch under the assay conditions in this study. The xylanase and ${\beta}-(l,3-1,4)-glucanase$ activities of XynIII both had a similar optimal pH and pH stability, as well as a similar optimal temperature and temperature stability. Moreover, the effects of metal ions on the two enzymatic activities were also similar. The overall hydrolytic rates of XynIII in different mixtures of xylan and lichenin coincided with those calculated using the Michaelis-Menten model when assuming the two substrates were competing for the same active site in the enzyme. Accordingly, the results indicated that XynIII is a novel bifunctional enzyme and its xylanase and ${\beta}-(l,3-1,4)-glucanase$ activities are catalyzed by the same active center.

Two endoxylanases from an alkaliphilic bacterium, Bacillus halodurans C-1, were purified 3.8- and 7.9- fold with specific activities of 9.4 and 19.8U/mg protein, respectively. The molecular masses of both purified enzymes were 23 and 47 kDa, respectively, and 23 kDa xylanase I (Xyl I) exhibited an optimum pH at 7.0, whereas 47 kDa xylanase II (Xyl II) showed a broad pH range of 5.0 to 9.0. The temperature optima of both xylanases were $60^{\circ}C\;and\;70^{\circ}C$, respectively. Both were stable in the pH range of 6.0 to 9.0 and 5.0 to 10.0, respectively, and they were stable up to $60^{\circ}C\;and\;70^{\circ}C$, respectively. The $K_m\;and\;V_{max}$ of Xyl I were 4.33mg/ml and $63.5{\mu}mol/min/mg$, respectively, whereas Xyl II had a $K_m$ value of 0.30 mg/ml and $V_{max}$ of $210{\mu}mol/min/mg$. Both xylanases hydrolyzed xylans from birchwood, oat spelt, and larchwood. However, they showed different modes of action; a series of xylooligosaccharides larger than xylotriose were released as the major products by Xyl I, whereas xylobiose and xylotriose were the main products by Xyl II. The maximum synergistic action of the two enzymes on hydrolysis of xylan was 2.16 with the ratio of Xyl I to Xyl II at 1:9.

The nucleotide sequence of the Paenibacillus curdlanolyticus B-6 xyn10A gene, encoding a xylanase Xyn10A, consists of 3,828 nucleotides encoding a protein of 1,276 amino acids with a predicted molecular mass of 142,726 Da. Sequence analysis indicated that Xyn10A is a multidomain enzyme comprising nine domains in the following order: three family 22 carbohydrate-binding modules (CBMs), a family 10 catalytic domain of glycosyl hydrolases (xylanase), a family 9 CBM, a glycine-rich region, and three surface layer homology (SLH) domains. Xyn10A was purified from a recombinant Escherichia coli by a single step of affinity purification on cellulose. It could effectively hydrolyze agricultural wastes and pure insoluble xylans, especially low substituted insoluble xylan. The hydrolysis products were a series of short-chain xylooligosaccharides, indicating that the purified enzyme was an endo-$\beta$-1,4-xylanase. Xyn10A bound to various insoluble polysaccharides including Avicel, $\alpha$-cellulose, insoluble birchwood and oat spelt xylans, chitin, and starches, and the cell wall fragments of P. curdlanolyticus B-6, indicating that both the CBM and the SLH domains are fully functioning in the Xyn10A. Removal of the CBMs from Xyn10A strongly reduced the ability of plant cell wall hydrolysis. These results suggested that the CBMs of Xyn10A play an important role in the hydrolysis of plant cell walls.

An experiment was conducted with three ruminally and intestinally cannulated non-lactating cows of Finnish Ayrshire breed, to assess the ruminal degradation characteristics of oat (Avena sativa), rye (Secale cereale) and rice (Oryza sativa) straw by the nylon bag technique, and the subsequent post-ruminal degradation of their rumen-undegraded residues by using the mobile bag technique, respectively. The straw samples were untreated or treated with aqueous $NH_3$ or with urea solution in cold or hot water. The untreated straw samples were milled or chopped, and the treated straw samples were chopped. The constant values a, b, and c were computed according to the exponential equation, where a = intercept of degradation curve at time 0, b = potentially degradable material, c = rate of degradation of band (a+b) = maximum potential degradability (asymptote). It was found that nitrogen contents of chemically treated straw were markedly increased by both $NH_3$ and urea treatments. Milling the samples attributed to a remarkable loss at 0 h incubation time as compared to chopping of the respective samples. However, chemical treatment markedly improved the b value and the subsequent (a+b) values for dry matter, organic matter, neutral-detergent fiber, and acid-detergent fiber of the samples. Furthermore, temperature of the water used in the urea solutions was considered essential, since urea in hot water rather than in cold water seemed to enhance the overall degradability. The disappearance of rumen-incubated straw residues from the mobile bags ranged from 4.5 to 9.6% for the parameters measured. On average, the OM disappearance from bags was clearly higher for the residues of urea treated straw compared to those of ammonia treated straw, but the disappearance of NDF tended, however, to be higher on the ammonia treatment.
