TBT 사용이 금지된 이후, 방오도료의 방오능력을 보완하기 위하여 booster biocides를 추가하여 사용하고 있다. Booster biocides 중에서 chlorothalonil은 해양환경 내 지속적으로 유입되며 다양한 해양생물에게 심각한 독성영향을 미치고 있지만 해조류에 대한 연구는 제한적이 다. 따라서 우리나라의 주요 양식생물인 미역(Undaria pinnatifida)의 초기생활사에 chlorothalonil이 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. U. pinnatifida의 암배우체를 chlorothalonil(0, 0.03, 0.05, 0.10, 0.20, 0.40 mg L^-1)에 노출하여 생존율과 상대성장률을 분석하였다. 암배우체 생존율의 무영향 농도(NOEC), 최소영향농도(LOEC), 반수치사농도(LC₅₀)는 0.05, 0.10, 0.141 (0.121~0.166) mg L^-1이었고 상대성장률의 NOEC, LOEC, 반수영향농도(EC₅₀)은 0.10, 0.20, 0.124 (0.119~0.131) mg L^-1로 분석되었다. 따라서, 미역의 암배우체는 0.05~0.10 mg L^-1 이상의 농도에서 독성영향을 받기 시작할 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구의 결과는 chlorothalonil에 대한 U. pinnatifida 초기생활사의 건강도를 평가하기 위한 기준자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

Dichlofluanid는 해양환경 내 빠르게 분해되지만 농약 및 방오제로 사용되고 퇴적물에 쉽게 축적되어 지속적으로 해양환경으로 유입되고 있다. Dichlofluanid는 다양한 해양생물에게 독성영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져 있지만 해조류에 대한 독성연구는 충분히 보고되지 않았다. 따라서 우리나라의 주요 양식생물인 미역(Undaria pinnatifida) 암배우체의 생존율 및 상대성장률을 이용하여 dichlofluanid의 독성영향을 분석하였다. U. pinnatifida의 암배우체를 dichlofluanid (0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 mg L^-1)에 노출하였고 암배우체 생존율의 무영향농도(NOEC), 최소영향농도(LOEC), 반수치사농도(LC₅₀)는 1, 2, 10.82(8.87~13.23) mg L^-1, 상대성장률의 NOEC, LOEC, 반수영향농도(EC₅₀)은 1, 2, 6.58 (6.03~7.17) mg L^-1로 분석되었다. 본 연구결과는 dichlofluanid에 대한 U. pinnatifida 암배우체의 독성영향을 평가하기 위한 중요한 참고자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of feeding Artemia nauplii enriched with poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) on Pacific white shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) post-larvae. A total 900 shrimp (initial average body weight: 2.50 ± 0.01 mg) were randomly distributed into 9 acrylic tanks (96 L) in triplicate groups. The Artemia reared in 0%, 0.25% and 0.50% PHB dissolved water (designated as Con, PHB25 and PHB50, respectively) were fed to the shrimp post-larvae for 14 days. The growth performance of shrimp was significantly higher in PHB25 and PHB50 groups than those in Con group. Survival was not significantly different among all the groups. Relative gene expressions of trypsin and amylase were significantly upregulated in PHB25 group than those of Con group. Relative gene expression of chymotrypsin was significantly upregulated in PHB25 and PHB50 groups compared to Con group. Relative gene expression of insulin-like growth factor-I was significantly upregulated in PHB25 group than in Con group. Relative gene expression of insulin-like growth factor-binding protein was significantly upregulated in both PHB25 and PHB50 groups than that of Con group. Relative expression of prophenoloxidase gene was significantly upregulated in PHB25 and PHB50 groups as compared to Con group. Relative expression of penaeidin-3a gene was significantly upregulated in PHB50 group as compared to Con group. This study demonstrated that PHB, as a functional nutritional enrichment for Artemia, improves the growth, digestibility and immunity of shrimp post-larvae.

겨울철 시설내에서 정전 등으로 인하여 수시간 동안 작물체가 생육한계 온도로 경과시 오이묘에 나타나는 피해와 피해발생의 생리적 요인 및 피해 경감대책을 구명하기 위하여 저온처리 전후의 광환경 조건이 오이 묘의 생존율 및 생육반응에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 냉온처리(2$^{\circ}C$, 48시간)에 따른 오이묘의 생존율은 암기말인 07:00시 처리에서 30.6%이었고, 암기 개시기인 18:00시 처리에서는 92.2%로 높았다. 세포의 전해질 누출은 07:00시 처리에서(72시간) 57.1%, 18:00시 처리에서는 25.9%로 낮았다. 누출액중 무기이온 함량은 $K^{+}$ 이온이 가장 많았고, $Na^{+}$, $Mg^{+2}$ , $Ca^{+2}$ 순으로 적었다. 냉온처리전 야간에 광을 조사하면 생존율이 광 무처리에 비해 56% 더 높아졌으며, 광조사는 2시간 처리로 충분한 효과가 있었다. 광 조사에 의하여 생존율이 높아지는 것은 광합성에 의한 당함량의 증가 때문인 것으로 해석 되었다. 냉온처리(3$^{\circ}C$, 48시간) 기간중 광을 조사하면, 생존율이 43.3%로 낮아진 반면, 암조건에두면 92%로 높았다.

In this paper we propose a parametric and a nonparametric small sample estimators for the mean residual life (MRL) under the random censorship model using the partial moment approximation. We also compare the proposed nonparametric estimator with the well-known nonparametric MRL estimator based on Kaplan-Meier estimator of the survival function, and present the efficiency of the nonparametric method relative to the Weibull model for small samples.

Economic values of 14 production and functional traits for two Slovak dairy sheep breeds (Improved Valachian and Tsigai) were calculated. Semi-extensive production systems with one lambing per year were simulated using a bio-economic deterministic computer model. The marginal economic value of a trait was defined as the partial derivative of the profit function with respect to that trait. The relative economic value expressed the percentage proportion of standardized economic value (marginal economic value${\times}$genetic standard deviation) of a trait in the sum of the absolute values of the standardized economic values over all traits. Milk yield was of highest relative importance (26% and 32% in Improved Valachian and Tsigai) followed by productive lifetime and conception rate of ewes (16% and 15% in Improved Valachian and Tsigai, in both traits). Conception rate of female lambs and litter size had nearly the same relative economic importance in both breeds (9% to 11%). Survival rate of lambs at lambing and till weaning reached slightly lower economic values (4% to 7%). The economic importance of all remaining traits was less than 4%.

This study was conducted to develop an efficient cryopreservation method of human embryonic stem (ES) cells using vitrification. In an initial experiment, sub-clumps of human ES cells (CHA-hES3 and CHA-hES4) were vitrified using grids after incubation with STO feeder cells for 1 or 16 h (Groups 1-1 and 1-2, respectively). After storage for $2{\sim}4$ months, thawed clumps were re-plated on a fresh feeder layer. The survival rates of warmed CHA-hES3 and CHA-hES4 cells of Group 1-2 were significantly higher than those of the corresponding Group 1-1 cells. In the second experiment, human ES cells were vitrified after incubation with feeder or feeder-conditioned medium (Groups 2-1 to -7). Relative mRNA expression of BM proteins and survival rates were increased following incubation of ES cells with fresh feeder cells for 16 h. In conclusion, increasing of tight adhesion between ES cells by extended incubation with feeder could reduce cryoinjury after vitrifying/warming.

Background: To study the incidence of non-endometrioid carcinoma of endometrium and compare the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes with endometrioid carcinoma patients. Materials and Methods: This study included 236 patients with endometrial carcinoma at Siriraj Hospital whom were diagnosed and treated from 2003 through 2006. The clinical characteristics, pathological features, treatment and clinical outcomes were collected from the medical records. The 5-year survival was calculated according to 2009 FIGO staging. Results: Non-endometrioid carcinoma of endometrium accounted for 10.2% of all endometrial carcinomas (24/236 patients). The 5-year survival rate was significantly lower in the non-endometrioid group compared to the endometrioid group (77.3% vs 96%, p<0.001) and clinical data pointed to greater malignancy. Conclusions: Non-endometrioid carcinoma of endometrium is relative rare but is more aggressive, has more distant metastasis at diagnosis with a worse survival rate than endometrioid carcinoma. Only patients in stage IA with no residual disease on a hysterectomy specimen may not need adjuvant treatment.

The high relapse rate after curative surgery of lung cancer suggests that tumor cells are remained at the site of resection and in the distant organs. Postoperative radiochemoimmunotherapy including protein-bound polysaccharide PS-K[Copolang] and/or chemotherapy to improve the prognosis in lung cancer has been adopted. The patients with lung cancer who were treated with a combined modality therapy after surgery were reviewed to determine the effects of adjuvant immunotherapy[PS-K] and the relationship between midterm survival and clinicopathologic variables. During the past 5 years, 95 patients with lung cancer underwent resective operation. Of them, 30 cases were curative surgery, 29 were relative curative surgery, and the remainders were non-curative surgery. Postoperative combination therapies consisted of three types of therapies: postoperative BRM[biological response modifiers] with PS-K [Copolang] 50 mg/kg for 24 weeks[Group 1], chemoimmunotherapy with chemotherapy[a combination of cisplatin, etoposide, vindesine] and PS-K [Group 2], radioimmunotherapy with postoperative prophylactic irradiation to the mediastinum at total dose of 54 Gy-60 Gy and PS-K [Group 3] and surgery without adjuvant therapy[Group 4]. Twenty months survival rates of localized disease [Stages I and II] treated with PS-K, with radioimmunotherapy and no therapy were 73 %, 60 %, and 50 %, respectively [p [0.05]. Three-year survival rates of regionally advanced cases [stage Ilia and IIIb] were 23 % in Group 1.57 % in Group 2.20 % in Group 3, and 0 % in Group 4, respectively.According to above results, we suggest that postoperative combination therapy including PS-K might improve the prognosis of lung cancer. The similar survival pattern of patients with squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma treated with BRM, chemoimmunotherapy or radioimmunotherapy need to evaluate the role of postoperative immunotherapy[PS-K] in randomized studies.

Purpose: Intravenous lipid emulsion (ILE) has been shown to have significant therapeutic effects on calcium channel blocker overdose in animal studies and clinical cases. In this preliminary experiment, we investigated the hemodynamic changes and survival in a rat model of verapamil intoxication. Methods: Fourteen male Sprague-Dawley rats were sedated and treated with ILE or normal saline (control), followed by continuous intravenous infusion of verapamil (20 mg/kg/h). Mean arterial pressure and heart rate of rats were monitored during the infusion. In addition, the total dose of infused verapamil and the duration of survival were measured. Results: Survival was prolonged in the ILE group ($32.43{\pm}5.8min$) relative to the control group ($24.14{\pm}4.3min$) (p=0.01). The cumulative mean lethal dose of verapamil was higher in the ILE group ($4.3{\pm}0.7mg/kg$) than in the control group ($3.2{\pm}0.5mg/kg$; p=0.017). Conclusion: ILE pretreatment prolonged survival and increased the lethal dose in a rat model of verapamil poisoning.
