목 적: 유방암 치료를 위한 방사선치료계획에 전산화단층촬영을 이용한 모의치료가 널리 이용되고 있다. 이는 환자 개개인의 해부학적 특징에 기반하여 종양 표적과 정상 조직을 정의할 수 있다. 본 연구는 일반적으로 유방 크기가 작은 한국인 유방암 환자에서 적용하는 방사선치료계획 방법에 따라 치료용적 및 치료범위에 차이가 있는지를 알아보기 위해 시행하였다. 대상 및 방법: 2008년 11월부터 2009년 1월까지 조기유방암으로 유방보존술을 시행 받은 25명의 환자를 대상으로 통상적인 접면조사의 이차원치료 계획과 전산화단층촬영을 기반으로 한 삼차원치료계획을 시행하였다. 이차원 치료계획에서 방사선조사영역의 경계는 유방실질을 촉지하여 결정하였고 위쪽으로는 쇄골의 바로 아래, 내측은 몸의 정중선, 외측은 중심 액와선 그리고 아래쪽은 유방밑주름에서 2 cm 아래에 표시하였다. 삼차원치료계획에서 임상표적체적은 모든 유선 조직을 포함하였고 계획용 표적체적은 임상표적체적에서 피부 쪽을 제외한 모든 방향으로 1 cm의 여유를 두어 결정하였다. 이차원과 삼차원치료계획 간의 조사영역의 경계 차이 및 동등조사영역의 차이를 확인하고 신체질량지수, 폐경 여부 및 유방크기의 관련성을 평가하였다. 그리고 선량분포로 지정한 유방조사량과 삼차원 선량분포에 기반하여 측정된 조사된 폐용적과 심장용적을 평가하였다. 결 과: 2명의 환자를 제외하고 계획용표적체적(PTV)은 삼차원치료계획이 이차원치료계획보다 모든 방향에서 표시한 방사선조사영역을 감소시켰고 위쪽 경계에서 그 차이값이 가장 컸다. 동등조사영역크기는 한 명을 제외하고 삼차원치료계획에서 이차원치료계획에서보다 작았으며(평균 0.9 cm), 신체질량지수, 폐경 여부 및 유방크기(브래지어 사이즈)와의 관련성은 보이지 않았다. 조사된 폐용적은 삼차원치료계획에서 유의하게 감소하였고, 심장용적 또한 감소하였지만 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 보이지 않았다. 결 론: 통상적인 치료계획과 비교하여 전산화단층촬영을 기반으로 한 삼차원치료계획이 작은 유방을 가진 환자에서 방사선조사영역 및 손상위험장기의 조사량을 줄이면서 수술 후 변화를 포함하여 더 정확한 종양치료가 가능할 수 있음을 보여주었다. 그러나 앞으로 임상표적체적의 정의에 대한 추가적인 연구 및 일반적인 합의가 필요하다.

The effects of three different feeding systems on beef cattle production performance, rumen fermentation, and rumen digesta particle structure were investigated by using 18 Limousin (steers) with a similar body weight ($575{\pm}10kg$) in a 80-d experiment. The animals were equally and randomly divided into three treatment groups, namely, total mixed ration group (cattle fed TMR), SI1 group (cattle fed concentrate firstly then roughage), and SI2 group (cattle fed roughage firstly then concentrate). The results showed that the average daily gain was significantly higher in cattle receiving TMR than in those receiving SI1 and SI2 (p<0.05). Consumption per kg weight gain of concentrate, silage, and combined net energy (NEmf) were significantly decreased when cattle received TMR, unlike when they received SI1 and SI2 (p<0.05), indicating that the feed efficiency of TMR was the highest. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) was significantly decreased when cattle received TMR compared with that in cattle receiving SI1 (p<0.05), whereas there was no difference compared with that in cattle receiving SI2. Ammonia nitrogen concentration was significantly lower in cattle receiving TMR than in those receiving SI1 and SI2 (p<0.05). The rumen area of cattle that received TMR was significantly larger than that of cattle receiving SI1 (p<0.05), but there was no difference compared with that of cattle receiving SI2. Although there was no significant difference among the three feeding systems in rumen digesta particle distribution, the TMR group trended to have fewer large- and medium-sized particles and more small-sized particles than those in the SI1 and SI2 groups. In conclusion, cattle with dietary TMR showed increased weight gain and ruminal development and decreased BUN. This indicated that TMR feeding was more conducive toward improving the production performance and rumen fermentation of beef cattle.

Twenty $Pelibuey{\times}Katahdin$ ewes ($35{\pm}2.3kg$) were used to determine the effects of the consumption of standardized plant extract containing a mixture of quaternary benzophenanthridine alkaloids and protopine alkaloids (QBA+PA) on growth performance, dietary energetics, visceral mass, and ruminal epithelial health in heat-stressed ewes fed with a high-energy corn-based diet. The basal diet (13.9% crude protein and 2.09 Mcal of net energy [NE] of maintenance/kg of dry matter) contained 49.7% starch and 15.3% neutral detergent fiber. Source of QBA+PA was Sangrovit RS (SANG) which contains 3 g of quaternary benzophenathridine and protopine alkaloids per kg of product. Treatments consisted of a daily consumption of 0 or 0.5 g SANG/ewe. Ewes were grouped by weight and assigned to 10 pens (5 pens/treatment), with two ewes per pen. The experimental period lasted 70 days. The mean temperature humidity index during the course of this experiment was $81.7{\pm}1.0$ (severe heat stress). There were no treatment effects on water intake. Dry matter intake was not affected (p = 0.70) by treatments, but the group fed SANG had a numerically (11.2%) higher gain in comparison to the control group, SANG improved gain efficiency (8.3%, p = 0.04), dietary NE (5.2%, p<0.01) and the observed-to-expected NE (5.9%, p<0.01). Supplemental SANG did not affect ($p{\geq}0.12$) carcass characteristics, chemical composition of shoulder, and organ weights (g/kg empty body weight) of stomach complex, intestines, and heart/lung. Supplemental SANG decreased liver weight (10.3%, p = 0.02) and increased visceral fat (16.9%, p = 0.02). Rumen epithelium of ewes fed SANG had lower scores for cellular dropsical degeneration (2.08 vs 2.34, p = 0.02), parakeratosis (1.30 vs 1.82, p = 0.03) and neutrophil infiltration (2.08 vs 2.86, p = 0.05) than controls. It is concluded that SANG supplementation helped ameliorate the negative effects of severe heat on growth performance of feedlot ewes fed high-energy corn-based diets. Improvement in energetic efficiency may have been mediated, in part, by anti-inflammatory effects of supplemental SANG and corresponding enhancement of nutrient uptake.

본 연구에서는 잉여 농산물인 오이를 이용하여 제조한 식초음료의 항피로 효과를 검증하기 위하여 고강도 운동을 실시한 흰쥐에 오이식초음료를 매일 섭취시켜 지구력, 혈청 피로물질, 간과 근육 조직 내 글리코겐 함량, 근육 내 LDH 및 CK 등의 변화를 살펴보았다. 실험동물은 4주령의 수컷 SD계 흰쥐 15마리를 1주간 고형식이로 적응시킨 후 난괴법에 의하여 비운동군(SC), 운동군(EC), 오이식초 섭취군(CV)으로 나누었다(n=5). CV는 사람의 하루 섭취량을 기준으로 체중 kg당 7 mL씩 매일 일정시각에 경구투여 하였고 나머지 그룹은 동량의 증류수를 투여하였다. EC와 CV는 매일 일정한 시각에 트레드밀을 이용하여 분당 15 m로 20분, 분당 20 m로 30분, 분당 25 m로 60분씩 운동을 일주일에 5회 실시하였다. 식이섭취량과 식이효율에서는 그룹 간의 별다른 차이가 나타나지 않았으며 CV군의 신장 무게가 SC군보다 낮았다. 지구력 측정에서 CV가 EC보다 55.96% 더 높은 지구력을 가진 것으로 측정되었고 혈청 피로물질은 CV가 EC보다 현저히 낮은 경향을 보였다. 간과 근육의 글리코겐 함량은 CV가 다른 두 군보다 높은 수치를 나타내어 오이식초음료의 섭취에 따라 간과 근육에서의 글리코겐 재합성이 증가된 것을 확인하였으며 근조직의 LDH와 CK 측정 결과 CV와 EC를 비교하였을 때 CV에서 증가된 수치를 보였다. 이와 같이 고강도 운동으로 훈련을 실시한 흰쥐는 오이식초음료의 섭취에 의해 지구력 증진과 혈중피로물질의 감소, 간과 근육에서의 글리코겐 재합성, ATP 수치의 유지 및 젖산 대사 촉진과 같은 항피로 효과를 나타내었으므로 본 연구의 결과가 오이식초를 이용한 스포츠드링크 개발에 도움이 될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) have been shown to decrease body fat content of individually-housed pigs but little is known about the responses under commercial conditions. Two studies were conducted to evaluate the effect of CLA under commercial conditions using contemporary genotypes. The experimental designs were similar between the two sites. Briefly, the studies were 2${\times}$2 factorial designs with the respective factors being sex (boar and gilt) and supplemental dietary CLA (0 and 4 g/kg). The studies involved 16-20 pens of pigs with 4-5 pens of each sex${\times}$CLA group. The first study was conducted with 144 pigs in 16 pens consuming a pelleted feed for 6 weeks at Bunge Meat Industries, Corowa, NSW. In the second study, 160 pigs were obtained from a commercial source and put into 20 pens in simulated commercial conditions and fed a mash diet for 7 weeks at Medina Research Station, WA. In Study 2 some aspects of meat quality were also investigated. Data from Study 1 showed that, although CLA had no significant effect upon feed intake and daily gain, the small changes in both resulted in a reduction in (-0.10 g/g, p=0.10) feed conversion ratio (FCR). While there was no significant effect of CLA on ultrasonic backfat depths, there was a significant decrease in carcass P2 (-1.0 mm, p=0.014) and estimated carcass fat (-7 g/kg, p=0.049). In the study conducted at Medina CLA had no significant effect upon feed intake, feed:gain or most measures of back fat. The exception was that dietary CLA decreased the rate of accumulation of fat at the shoulder, particularly in gilts, resulting in a significantly lower amount of shoulder fat at slaughter (-1.3 mm, p=0.044). CLA tended to increase dressing percentage although this was not significant (+0.5%, p=0.14). Meat from CLA treated pigs tended to be darker (p=0.12) and had a higher ultimate pH (p=0.06). These data suggest that under commercial conditions dietary CLA can improve growth performance and decrease P2 in pigs of an improved genotype, particularly gilts.

673 third-year students of boy's and girl's high schools in Taegu city and Kuni-gun and Youngyang-gun and Euisung-gun in Kyongbuk province were selected and investigated as the subject, of this study on the correlation between Lee Jae Ma's Four Types of Essential Physical Constitution and Physical Form index. The result of the study was found as follows. First, as for Height, the findings were not identical with the expression that "person of shaoyin(minor Yin) Type are short and small -- while person of Taiyin (major Yin) Type are tall and big," cited in classification of four different constitutions in a document named "Dong-Eu-Su-Se-Bo-Won". Comparison of persons of Shaoyang (minor Yang) - Type proved infitness due to the lack of data on Height in documents concerning Lee Jae Ma's four types of essential physical constitution. Second, as for Sitting Height, the correlation was prored between the findings of this study and the expression in the above document describing external physical characteristics of shaoyin-Type persons that "The upper part and' the lower part of the body are well balanced", but in point of Relative Sitting Height, none between the two. Third, as for Chest-Girth and Relative Chest-Girth plus Weight and Relative Weight, the expression that "Persons of Taiyin(major Yin) Type have the largest physique of the lour types of persons in the characteristics of external physical features, and that they also tend to have continental(widechest or large-scaled) character and strong nerve, that they are stoutly-built and fal." proved to have the correlation with the findings of this study. Fourth, in point of Chest-Girth and Relative Chest-Girth, this study found that its findings have the correlation with the phrase that "Chests are well developed upwar -- and sturdy and solid." in describing the characteristics of Shaoyang (minor Yang)-Type person' external physical features, and that with the phrase that "Chests are narrow" in the case of Shaoyin(minor Yin)-Type persons. Fifth, as for Weight and Relative Weight, the correlation was found between the findings and the expression that "shaoyin-Type persons have comparatively less flesh" as a sign of external physical characteristics of Shaoyin-Type persons. The above-cited findings proved that there exist some correlations between external physique of the Lee Jae Ma's four types of essential constitution and physical Form Indexes. Actually, however, in clinical classification, it is desirable that this approach should be consulted only after carefull consideration based on Lee Jae Ma's theory, and it seems imperative to continue the study of objectivization of Lee's theory.

This experiment was conducted to study the effects of chromium (Cr), dietary crude protein (CP) level and potential interactions between these two factors on growth rate and carcass response, insulin activity and lipid metabolism in lambs. Forty-eight, 9-week-old weaned lambs (Dorper$\times$Small-tail Han sheep, mean initial body weight = $22.96kg{\pm}2.60kg$) were used in a $2{\times}3$ factorial arrangement of supplemental Cr (0 ppb, Cr0; 400 ppb, Cr1; or 800 ppb, Cr2 from chromium yeast) and CP levels (157 g/d to 171 g/d for each animal, LP; or 189 g/d to 209 g/d for each animal, HP). Growth data and blood samples were collected at the beginning and end of the feed trial, after which the lambs were killed. Both Cr additive groups and the HP group increased final weight and average daily gain, especially the Cr1 and HP group (p<0.01). HP increased pelvic fat weight (p<0.05), fat thickness of the 10th rib (p<0.05), longissimus muscle area (p<0.01) and rate of deposition of intramuscular fat (p<0.01). Supplemental Cr decreased the rate of deposition of intramuscular fat (p<0.05). Fasting insulin level and the ratio of insulin to glucose were lower with Cr1 than other groups, but with no significant difference. Glucose concentration was not affected by any treatment. Nonesterified fatty acids increased in the Cr1 (p<0.05) and HP (p<0.05) conditions and there was a significant $Cr{\times}CP$ interaction (p<0.05). Cr1 decreased triglycerides (p<0.05) and total cholesterol (p = 0.151) and HP increased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (p<0.05). Cr1 decreased lipoprotein lipase activity in subcutaneous adipose tissue (aLPL, p<0.05) and the ratio of aLPL to lipoprotein lipase activity in skeletal muscle (mLPL, p = 0.079). mLPL and hepatic lipase (hHL) were not affected by any treatment. In the present study, Cr had limited effects on growth rate and carcass response, whereas Cr and CP had some notable effects on plasma metabolites and enzyme activities. Cr has a potential effect on energy modulation between lipid and muscle tissue. In addition, few $Cr{\times}CP$ interactions were observed.

Objective: This study investigated the effects of oral administration of rumen-protected L-tryptophan (RPL-T) on duodenal starch digestion and gastrointestinal hormones (GIH) secretions using Hanwoo beef steers as the animal models. Methods: Four steers (423±24 kg) fitted with ruminal and duodenal cannulas were employed in a crossover design replicated twice. Treatments were control (basal diet) and RPL-T (basal diet+191.1 mg/kg body weight [BW]) group. Blood and duodenal samples were collected to measure serum GIH levels and pancreatic α-amylase activity at day 0, 1, 3, and 5 (-30, 30, 90, 150, and 210 min) of the study. Samples from each segment of the gastrointestinal tract were collected via ruminal and duodenal cannulas and were used to determine soluble protein and the starch digestion rate at days 6 (-30, 180, 360, and 540 min) and 8 (-30, 90, 270, and 450 min) of the experiment. Results: No significant difference in ruminal pH, NH₃-N, and total volatile fatty acid including the levels of acetate, propionate, butyrate, isobutyrate, valerate, isovalerate, and the acetate-to-propionate ratio was observed between groups (p>0.05). Crude protein uptake was higher and feces starch content was lower in RPL-T group than the control group (p<0.05). The D-glucose contents of feces in RPL-T group decreased at day 5 compared to those in the control group (p<0.05), however, no change was found at day 0, 1, or 3 compared to the control group (p>0.05). Serum cholecystokinin (CCK), melatonin, duodenal pancreatic α-amylase activity, and starch digestion were significantly higher in RPL-T group than the control group (p<0.05). Conclusion: Taken together, oral administration of RPL-T at the rate of 191.1 mg/kg BW consistently increased CCK concentration, pancreatic α-amylase activity in duodenal fluids, and starch digestion rate in the small intestine and thus found to be beneficial.
