Objective: These experiments were conducted to investigate the optimal expose length of propidium iodide (PI) and bisbenzimide on differential staining of mouse blastocysts. Materials and methods: A total 964 blastocysts (early${\sim}$hatched) was exposed to PI (n=831) (group I: $\leq$ 10; II: $11{\sim}15$; III: $16{\sim}20$; IV: $\geq$21 sec) and bisbenzimide (n=133) (group A: $\leq$1; B: $1{\sim}$3; C: $\geq$ 4 hr) in several periods for differential staining. Statistical analysis was performed using t-test with SigmaPlot-2001. P-values < 0.05 were accepted as statistically significant. Results: In case of PI exposure, differential staining rates were significantly higher (p<0.05) in group I (89.8%) than in any others (group II: 77.6%; III: 29.6%; IV: 22.2%) and higher (p<0.05) in group II than in group III and IV. In case of bisbenzimide exposure, differential staining rates were not statistically differences in three groups (group A: 97.4%; B: 87.8%; C: 93.3%). Conclusion: The differential staining rates of mouse blastocysts are not affected by the exposure length of bisbenzimide. However, blastocysts were exposed to PI with period of shorter than 15 sec show best outcomes of differential staining rates.

This study aimed to measure the levels of interferon-gamma (IFN-${\gamma}$), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-${\alpha}$), interleukin 1 (IL-1), interleukin 6 (IL-6), and nitrite/nitrate ($NO_x$) in serum of dogs experimentally infected with Rangelia vitalii. Twelve female mongrel dogs were divided into 2 groups; group A (uninfected controls) composed by healthy dogs (n=5) and group B consisting of dogs inoculated with R. vitalii (n=7). Animals were monitored by blood smear examinations, which showed intraerythrocytic forms of the parasite on day 5 post-infection (PI). Blood samples were collected through the jugular vein on days 0, 10, and 20 PI to determine the serum levels of IFN-${\gamma}$, TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-1, IL-6, and $NO_x$. Cytokines were assessed by ELISA quantitative sandwich technique, and $NO_x$ was measured by the modified Griess method. Cytokine levels (IFN-${\gamma}$, TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-1, and IL-6) were increased (P<0.01) in serum of infected animals. Serum levels of $NO_x$ were also increased on days 10 PI (P<0.01) and 20 PI (P<0.05) in infected animals. Therefore, the infection with R. vitalii causes an increase in proinflammatory cytokines and nitric oxide content. These alterations may be associated with host immune protection against the parasite.

자작나무, 박달나무, 느티나무, 산벚나무, 고로쇠나무 1년생 유묘에 5수준의 인공피음처리를 실시하면서 이들의 수분특성에 미치는 피음의 영향을 조사하기 위하여 P-V curve에 의한 분석을 실시하였다. 최대 팽압 하에서의 osmotic potential(${\phi}_{{\pi}o}$)은 전광처리구에서 6월, 7월, 9월에 각각 -1.04~-1.27MPa, -1.03~-1.48MPa, -0.94~-1.44MPa(1차 연도), -0.90~-1.37MPa, -1.05~-1.79MPa, -0.99~-1.30 MPa(2차 연도)의 범위에서 수종이나 계절에 따라 변화를 보였다. 최대 팽압 하에서의 osmotic potential(${\phi}_{{\pi}o}$)은 전기간을 통해 조사된 모든 수종에서 전광 처리구(A)는 -0.90~-1.79MPa, 강피음구(E)는 -0.58~1.23MPa의 범위 내에서 피음수준이 높아지면서 증가하는 모습을 보였다. 초기위조점에서 측정된 수분 potential(${\phi}_{{\pi}p}$)은 전광 처리구(A)에서 6월, 7월, 9월에 각각 -1.64~-2.11MPa, -1.67~-2.15MPa, 1.47~-2.11MPa(1차 연도)과 -1.45~-2.04MPa, -1.30~-2.00MPa, -1.28~-2.33MPa(2차 연도)의 범위 내에서 변화를 보였다. ${\phi}_{{\pi}p}$ 측정치 대부분은 ${\phi}_{{\pi}o}$ 측정치에 비해서 약 0.5MPa 정도의 낮은 값을 보였다. ${\phi}_{{\pi}p}$ 측정치 또한 피음처리를 강하게 할수록 증가하는 경향을 보였으며 피음처리에 따른 ${\phi}_{{\pi}p}$ 측정치의 차이는 수종이나 생육시기에 따라 일부 예외는 있지만 일반적으로 ${\phi}_{{\pi}o}$ 측정치에서의 차이보다는 더 큰 것으로 나타났다. 최대팽압에서와 마찬가지로 초기위조점에서의 osmotic potential 측정치 대부분은 6월이나 9월에 비해 7월에 측정된 값이 다소 낮은 값을 보였다. 초기위조점에서의 상대수분함량(RWCp)은 전광조건에서 1차 연도 6월, 7월, 9월에 각각 81~88%, 71~86%, 75~84%, 2차연도에는 82~87%, 72~84%, 76~86%로 연도별 차이가 별로 크지 않은 비슷한 범위 내에 있었다. 고로쇠나무, 산벚나무에서의 상대수분함량은 자작나무 박달나무, 느티나무에 비해 다소 높은 값을 보였다. RWCp 또한 전광조건(A)에서는 71~88%, 강피음구(E)에서는 48~77%까지로 대부분 피음처리 수준이 강할수록 감소하는 변화를 나타냈다. 비록 수종이나 계절에 따라 일부 예외는 있지만 몇 가지 P-V 모수들의 변화에 미치는 피음효과는 본 연구에서 분명하게 확인할 수 있었다. 피음처리에 따른 P-V 모수들의 변화는 전해질의 축적, 세포막의 탄성, 세포액 등에서의 변화 등과 관련지어 추론될 수 있다. 그러나 P-V 모수들의 변화에 미치는 피음효과에 대한 생리적인 기작에 대하여 상세한 정보를 얻기 위해서는 반드시 더 많은 실험이 계속되어야만 할 것이다.

Two experiments were conducted in this research. Experiment 1 investigated the spatial expression characteristics of calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) transporters in the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum of 21-day-old broilers provided with adequate nutrient feed. Experiment 2 evaluated the effects of dietary vitamin D₃ (VD₃) concentration (0, 125, 250, 500, 1,000, and 2,000 IU/kg) on growth performance, bone development, and gene expression levels of intestinal Ca and P transporters in 1-21-day-old broilers provided with the negative control diet without supplemental VD₃. Results in experiment 1 showed that the mRNA levels of calcium-binding protein 28-kDa (CaBP-D28k), sodium-calcium exchanger 1 (NCX1), plasma membrane calcium ATPase 1b (PMCA1b), and IIb sodium-phosphate cotransporter (NaPi-IIb) were the highest in the broiler duodenum. By contrast, the mRNA levels of inorganic phosphate transporter 1 (PiT-1) and 2 (PiT-2) were the highest in the ileum. Results in experiment 2 showed that adding 125 IU/kg VD₃ increased body weight gain (BWG), feed intake (FI), bone weight, and percentage and weight of Ca and P in the tibia and femur of 1-21-day-old broilers compared with the negative control diet (p < 0.05). The rise in dietary VD₃ levels from 125 to 1,000 IU/kg further increased the BWG, FI, and weights of the bone, ash, Ca, and P (p < 0.05). No difference in growth rate and leg bone quality was noted in the broilers provided with 1,000 and 2,000 IU/kg VD₃ (p > 0.05). Supplementation with 125-2,000 IU/kg VD₃ increased the mRNA abundances of intestinal Ca and P transporters to varying degrees. The mRNA level of CaBP-D28k increased by 536, 1,161, and 28 folds in the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum, respectively, after adding 1,000 IU/kg VD₃. The mRNA levels of other Ca and P transporters (PMCA1b, NCX1, NaPi-IIb, PiT-1, and PiT-2) increased by 0.57-1.74 folds by adding 1,000-2,000 IU/kg VD₃. These data suggest that intestinal Ca and P transporters are mainly expressed in the duodenum of broilers. Moreover, the addition of VD₃ stimulates the two mineral transporter transcription in broiler intestines.

Objective: This research aimed to evaluate the effects of age on growth, tibia development, and intestinal calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) transporter gene expressions in broiler chickens. Methods: A total of 224 male Arbor Acres broilers were fed with nutrient-adequate diets and reared in eight cages (28 broilers per cage). Eight broilers (one broiler per cage) were selected and killed at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, and 40 days of age, respectively. Results: Body weight continuously increased with age of broiler chickens from 5 to 40 days. The bone weight, ash weight, diameter, and length of the tibia also increased with broiler age. By contrast, the tibia ash, Ca, and P percentages quadratically changed with age (p<0.001), and the highest values of mineral contents were observed at 20, 25, and 25 days of age, respectively. The mRNA abundances of calcium-binding protein 28-kDa (CaBP-D28k), sodium-calcium exchanger 1 (NCX1), and plasma membrane ATPase 1b (PMCA1b) increased from 5 to 25 days and then decreased up to 40 days. Similar results were noted in the mRNA abundances of IIb sodium-phosphate cotransporter (NaPi-IIb), inorganic phosphate transporter 1 (PiT-1), inorganic phosphate transporter 2 (PiT-2), nuclear vitamin D receptor (nVDR), and membrane vitamin D receptor (mVDR). The mRNA abundances of Ca and P transporters and VDRs were the highest at 25 days of age. Conclusion: These data indicate that age quadratically affects intestinal Ca and P transporter gene expression and mineral absorption capacity in broiler chickens.

We show that the system has a positive solution under suitable conditions on the matrix $A=\(\array{0&a\\b&0}\)$, s > 0, t > 0, and next show that the system has another solution for the same conditions on A by the linking arguments.

There are many methods in controlling inverter's voltage and currents. most of all, PI control method is a general method. PI control has some merits. But, PI control has zero effect. So, steady-state response errors always exist by the zero effect. For removing the steady-state error, This paper presents the modeling, design and analysis of the double loop feedback control scheme. and computing the value of parameters and applying In the single-phase full bridge inverter for comparison and analysis between the PI control and PDFF control. The system model is employed to examine the dynamics of power circuit and select appropriate feedback variables for stable operation of the closed-loop UPS inverter system. It analyzes and proves the output characteristic of inverter system with the PDFF control.
