The present study was conducted in order to get the normal hematologic values of Korean Jindo dogs. Blood samples were taken from 328(♂ 92, ♂ 236) healthy Jindo dogs in Jindo area. The results obtained in this study were summarized as follows: 1. The mean values of red blood cell(RBC) count, hemoglobin(Hb) content and packed cell volume(PCV) in the age group of less than one year were 6.77(♂ 6.80, ♂ 6.76)${\times}10^6/{\mu}l$, 13.14 (♂ 13.53, ♂ 12.99)g/100ml and 43.28(♂ 44.47, ♂ 42.79)ml/100ml, respectively, whereas the RBC count, Hb content and PCV in the age group of one year and more were 7.42(♂ 7.44, ♂ 7.42)${\times}10^6/{\mu}l$, 14.98(♂ 15.56, ♂ 14.76)g/100ml and 47.18 (♂ 48.43, ♂ 46.71)ml/100ml, respectively. The values of RBC count, Hb content and PCV appeared to be higher in the male than in the female and it increased with aging in the age group of less than one year. 2. The mean values of mean corpuscular volume(MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin(MCH) and mean corpuscular hemoglobin content(MCHC) in the age group of less than one year were 63.93(♂ 65.40, ♂ 63.30)fl, 19.41(♂ 19.90, ♂ 19.22) pg and 30.36(♂ 30.43, ♂ 30.36)g/100ml respectively, whereas the MCV, MCH and MCHC in the age group of one year and more were 63.58(♂ 65.09, ♂ 62.95)fl, 20. 19(♂ 20.91, ♂ 19.89) pg and 31.75(♂ 32.13, ♂ 31.60)g/100ml respectively. The values of MCV, MCH and MCHC appeared to be higher in the male than in the female. No differences were found in the MCV and MCH between age groups. The MCHC appeared to be higher in older age group. 3.

Ice adhesion or cohesion leads to the decrease of the performance of ice making system, especially to dynamic type ice thermal storage system (DISS) which mainly forms ice from the flow of an aqueous solution. The ice adhesion is influenced by various parameters associated with operating or geometric condition. In this study, the influence on an adhesion of ice to the characteristic of cooling surface and to composition of an aqueous solution was fundamentally observed by using batch type cooling device,. a beaker. Three patterns of solution in each beaker were cooled with brine. Moreover, the characteristic of cooling surface on each beaker was distinguished to coating materials. Stirring power as a degree of the ice adhesion was measured. The stirring power to cooling heat transfer rate in each beaker was compared. As a result, the lowest stirring power of 8.9 W with non-adhesion of ice, was shown in the case of the aqueous solution of EG(4) + PG(1.5) + 1,6HD(1.5). in PE coating beaker.

This study was undertaken to develop PCR primers for the identification and detection of Streptococcus anginosus using species-specific forward and reverse primers. These primers targeted the variable regions of the 16S ribosomal RNA coding gene(rDNA). The primer specificity was tested against 12 S. anginosus strains and 6 different species(10 strains) of oral bacteria. The primer sensitivity was determined by testing serial dilutions of the purified genomic DNA of S. anginosus ATCC $33397^T$. The data showed that species-specific amplicons were obtained from all the S. anginosus strains tested, but not in the six other species. The PCR could detect as little as 0.4pg of the chromosomal DNA from S. anginosus. This suggests that the PCR primers are highly sensitive and applicable to the detection and identification of S. anginosus.

Purpose: To determine the motor cortex dysfunction in hemiparetic patients due to deep intracerebral hematoma, authors performed proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (lH MRS) for the evaluation of biochemical changes in the cortex on affected hemisphere according to axonal injury at the level of internal capsule. Methods: Ten control subjects and 14 patients with documentable hemiparesis of varying severity hemiparesis were included. All the hemiparesis was caused by deep intracerebral hematoma (putaminal and thalamic hemorrhage). In vivo 1H MRS study was performed on a 3T MRI/MRS system using STEAM sequence. As a single-voxel technique, Spectral parameters were: 20 ms TE, 2000 ms TR, 128 averages, 2500 Hz spectral width, and 2048 data points. Results: We found that the mean N-acetylaspartate (NAA)/phosphocreatine (Cr) and NAA/choline (Cho) ratios were significantly decreased in the motor cortex of the hemiparesis patients compared with control subjects. Conclusions: 1H MRS examinations of the motor cortex might help to differentiate distinct clinical entities of hemiparesis and to monitor pharmacological effects in therapeutic trials, providing a quantitative biological marker for motor neuron dysfunction.

Bacillus thuringiensis NT0423 produces quite a typical bipyramidal crystals of a common major band of ca. 130 kDa, and has dual specificity against Lepidoptera and Diptera. To enforce the Diptera-toxicity of B. thuringiensis NT0423, cryND gene was transformed 30 B. thuringiensis NT0423. The transfonnant B. thuringiensis PT1227 was obtained from introduction of pCGl0 into B. thuringiensis NT0423 by electroporation. The result showed that cryND and resident crystal protein genes in transformant were stably expressed with its own shape. Furthermore, the toxicity of B. thuringiensis PT1227 against Diptera was highly enforced, suggesting that the enforced toxicity of B. thuringiensis PT1227 was due to synergistic effect of both introduced and resident crystal proteins in transformant.

The quantitative detection of ochratoxin A (OT-A) in the traditional fermented foods were investigated to develop the analytical procedures, Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay(ELISA) and Chemiluminescence Immunoassay(CIA). Products used were divided into two groups: the first was the home-made 13 Doenjang, 12 Kanjang, and 14 Gochujang; and the second the traditional commercial products, 17 Deonjang and 11 Kanjang, which collected throughout the country. The standard curve for the quantitative determination of OT-A showed that the sensitivities in ELISA and CIA were upto the level of 20 pg/assay, and that the OT-A recovery rates were appeared to be more than 90%. The residual OT-A in the home-made products were 7.1$\pm$3.7 ng/g for Deonjang, 2.1$\pm$4.1 ng/g Kanjang were found in the traditional commercial products. Residual OT-A in the home-made products was comparatively far less than that of the traditional commercial products. At heat stability test of OT-A in the traditional fermented foods was found to be stable even at 121$^{\circ}C$ for 120 min.

This study was aimed at estimation of gas-particle partitioning of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in ambient air. The samples were collected at urban site in Japan from March 2002 to January 2003. The concentration of total PCBs (from 4 CB to 10 CB) and TEQ (Toxic equivalent) ranged from 62 to $247\;pg/m^3$ and from 2 to $14\;fgTEQ/m^3 $, respectively. The average contribution $(\%)$ of gas phase to total PCBs concentration was above $80\%$, which suggests that in the atmosphere PCBs predominantly existed in the gas phase. The weak correlations between total PCBs concentration and temperature was found. However this result was due to a typhoon during summer and raining during sampling period. The gas-particle partition coefficient (Kp) was obtained as a function of temperature. The partition ratio of gaseous and particulate phase PCBs can be estimated for an arbitrary temperature. The plot of gas/particle partition coefficient (log Kp) vs. sub-cooled liquid vapor pressure $(log\;P_L)$ had reasonable correlations for individual samples but the slope varied among the samples (coefficients of determination for log Kp versus log $P_L$ plot were> 0.76 $(p<0.0001)$, except for 3 samples). As a result, the variations in the slope among the sampling period may be due to change of temperature, raining during sampling period and wind in this study.

Chassis system has a large influence on ride quality, stability and NVH performance of a car. To improve the performance and reduce cost, the development of chassis modular assemblies is emphasized. To develop chassis corner modules, it is necessary to predict the performance of full vehicle motion such as ride, handling performance, NVH characteristics and durability of modules. In this paper, full vehicle test is performed to acquire the road load data of chassis corner module of passenger car. 3-axis simulator modeling are carried out to simulate reaction force analysis and fatigue analysis of new developed modules. Also, real simulator tests to validate performance of new developed modules are performed. We had developed the accelerated durability test procedure of KATECH PG and it is used to test chassis corner modules at laboratory and simulate durability performance. All these results have been provided to module and parts company and make an important role to develop chassis corner modules.

It has recently been reported that prostaglandin $(PG)F_{2\alpha}$ produces diruesis and natriuresis when given directly into a lateral ventricle of the brain in rabbits (Kook et al). In this study attempts were made to elucidate the mechanism of the natriuresis utilizing dogs. In mongrel dogs of both sexes weighing 9-l2kg, a lateral ventricle of the cerebrum was cannulated and the agent was delivered in less than 0.2ml of 0.9% saline. $PGF_{2\alpha}$, $100\;{\mu}g$, ivt, elicited mild diuresis, while glomerular filtration rate and systemic blood pressure remained unchanged. In 8 chloralso-anesthetized, hydrated dogs undergoing water diuresis, ivt $PGF_{2\alpha}$ produced antidiuresis concomitant with marked natriuresis, which resembles the action of large doses of Arginine vasopressin in doses of 0.3-1.5mu/kg/min produced marked natriuresis. In 9 experiments, $PGF_{2\alpha}$ was given intraventricularly during the maximal diuresis induced by ADH. The kidney responded with significant natriuresis though less marked and transient than during water diuresis. It is thus concluded that beside ADH still other natriuretic factor(s) may be involved in the natriuresis induced by ivt $PGF_{2\alpha}$ in the dog.
