Objectives: The study aims to look into how the application of EA(Electro-acupuncture) in the initial step of ischemic brain injury affects the changes in Bax and Caspase-3 expression among forebrain apoptosis. Methods: It caused GI by using common carotid artery occlusion and conducted the test by dividing into the no applied EA group after 6 hours and 12 hours, the LI 4 EA group that applied EA to LI4, and GV 20 EA group that was applied to GV 20. After that, the following results were obtained by comparing Bax and Caspase-3 expression, which were apoptosis-related factors, with its application time through immunohistochemical staining after extracting brain of each group. Results: According to each group's Bax expression by the application time, the order of expression increase after 6 hours is shown to be the no applied EA group, LI 4 group, and GV 20 group. The stimulation after 12 hours was most lowly expressed in the GV 20 group, and the no applied EA group and LI 4 group showed similar level. Conclusions: EA stimulation in the initial step after ischemia seems to affect positively Bax and Caspase-3 expression that are index of forebrain apoptosis.

This study aims to examine the quality characteristics of bread by the amount of addition of black garlic powder. there bas been increasingly higher interest in functional foods. According to the results, after analyzing mixograph, of the dough by using mixograph, the bread containing black garlic powder was considered to be most suitable for making bread As for stickiness of the dough with black garlic powder added, the higher black garlic powder was added, the more the bread becomes sticky. BG 6(i.e. bread with 6% of black garlic powder) had the highest fermentation rate for 60-minute fermentation period(i.e. first fermentation). Analysis through crumbScan showed that there were significant differences in crumb fineness between the control and bread with addition of black garlic powder, showing no significant difference by the amount of addition of black garlic powder. As for the volume and specific volume of bread with addition of black garlic powder, the more black garlic powder, the less volume and specific volume. Preference test showed that BG 6 got the best appearance and taste, in overall preference, BG 6 and BG 9(i.e. bread with 9% of black garlic powder) showed the same degree. However, BG 6 is considered the optimum addition of black garlic powder to reduce the production costs in the numerical respect.

Brand attachment, brand name, and image congruence play important role on consumer behavior in terms of reinforcing consumers' perception of food service companies and differentiating them from competing brands. Following the planned behavior theory, this paper examines the effect of linking brand attitude to word-of-mouth and revisit intentions in the restaurant sector. Research design, data, and methodology: This paper examines the structural relationship among brand attachment, brand name, image congruence, brand attitude, WOM, and revisit intention. In order to test the purposes of this study, research model and hypotheses were developed. The questionnaire items were modified and used according to the content of this study based on previous studies. All constructs were measured by multiple items tested and developed in the previous research. The study is based on the quantitative method and considered 519 questionnaires fulfilled by customers of restaurants. The data were explored employing the partial least square-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). Frequency analysis was conducted to identify the general characteristics of the survey subjects. To measure the reliability and validity of the measurement tools, confirmatory factor analysis was conducted. Structural model analysis was conducted to verify the research model. Result: The findings demonstrate that brand attachment and brand name had positive effects on attitude while image congruence did not have. Also, attitude had positive effect on WOM and revisit intention. Conclusions: This study expands the literature about WOM and revisit intentions. This study expands prior research in a similar field to which the theory of planned behavior (TPB) is applied, and reveals that brand attachment, brand name, and brand image congruence play an important role in developing brand attitude that affect revisit intention and WOM.
