The preventive effects of sodium molybdate on the acute toxicity of lead were studied by investigating tissue accumulation of lead, changes of nerve conduction velocity and concentrations of metabolites related to function of sciatic nerve in rats treated with lead, sodium molybdate and both, respectively. In lead-intoxicated rat, the conduction velocity, myo-inositol concentration and $Na^{+}/K^{+}$ ATPase activity of sciatic nerve were decreased by about 33 %, 48 % and 58 %, respectively. However, sodium molybdate treatment significantly normalized the conduction velocity, $Na^{+}/K^{+}$ ATPase activity and myo-inositol concentration of sciatic nerve in lead-intoxicated rat. Also, sodium molybdate treatment decreased the contents of lead in blood and sciatic nerve through promotion of urinary excretion of lead. But sodium molybdate treatment did not affect the glucose concentration in sciatic nerve. These results suggest that sodium molybdate prevented peripheral neuropathy not only by reducing lead contents in sciatic nerve and blood, but also by enhancing $Na^{+}/K^{+}$ ATPase activity in sciatic nerve.

Purpose: Sodium intake in school meals is very high. Accordingly, many health problems have emerged. The objective of this study was to assess school dietitian's awareness and practice of sodium contents in urban and rural locations schools and suggest sodium reduction plan in school meal service. Methods: A total of 524 nationwide school dietitians from elementary, middle, and high schools in south Korea were surveyed using questionnaires to determine their awareness and practicing behavior for reducing high-salt contents in meals. Sodium reduction plan was then suggested accordingly. Results: Most school dietitians (83%, n=436) were aware of the necessities of sodium reduction in school meals. They were aware of optimum sodium levels at 700-1000 mg. However, the percentages of dietitians who had practicing behavior of using measuring utensils for seasoning were 20.7% (n=108), 14.9% (n=78), and 13.5% (n=71) in elementary, middle, and high schools, respectively (p<0.001). Dietitians in urban elementary and middle schools had significantly (p<0.01) higher practicing behavior of using measuring utensils compared to those in rural locations. Considering low levels of soup contents with high amount of leftover, the desirable soup portions to be reduced were '50-100 mL' (n=66, 12.7%) for elementary school and '100-150 mL' for middle school (n=62, 12.0%) and high school (n=57, 11.0%, p<0.001). Conclusion: Dietitians' awareness for sodium reduction was high but their practicing behavior was relatively low. Thus, continuous efforts are required to develop reduced-sodium menu by promoting the use of measuring utensils when preparing meals and by planning no soup meal day or educating students and teachers about the importances of reducing sodium in school meals.

This study was designed to investigate the effects of dietary protein and caffeine consumption levels on Ca, P, Na and K metabolism. One hundred twenty rats were divided into twelve groups according to age, protein level and caffeine consumption such as group(120-130g young rat, 250-300g adult rat) , dietary protein group (20% normal protein , 85 low protein) , caffeine consumption group(0, 3.5mg, 7.0mg). Low protein diet containing high caffeine levels caffeine levels increased calcium, phosphorus, sodium and potassium contents of urine and fecal in rats. Young rat has higher level of calcium, phosphorus , sodium and potassium than adult rat. In the serum, calcium contents were not affected by age, dietary protein levels and caffeine consumption . However, phosphorus, sodium and potassium contents of serum in adult rat were higher than young rat. In the liver, potassium decreased with decreasing dietary protein levels. In the kidney, calcium , phosphorus and potassium contents were not different by age group, dietary protein levels and caffeine consumption , but sodium content was significantly reduced in the adult rat.

Substrates used were hardwood-Suwon poplar-(Populus alba${\times}$glandulosa L.) and softwood-pitch pine-(Pinus rigida M.). And these substrates were steam exploded then treated with sodium chlorite at 75$^{\circ}C$ with occasional stirring in order to obtain samples which had different lignin contents and crystallinity. And then this resulting samples incubated with a commercial cellulase derived from Trichoderma ressei. The contents of Klason lignin were decreased as the increasing of the ratio of sodium chlorite in the two species. The effect of hardwood was more effective than that of softwood in the same ratio of sodium chlorite. The minimum contents of Klason lignin were 0.8% and 5.1% respectively. And the crystallinities of cellulose were increased very little as increasing of the ratio of sodium clorite. The hydrolysis extent of the two species were increased as the increasing of delignification. Especially, the hydrolysis extent of hardwood was more higher than that of softwood. The maximum hydrolysis extent were 89.8% and 71.1%, respectively.

나트륨의 과잉섭취가 고혈압의 주요한 위험요인으로 알려져 있는데, 한국인의 성인 하루 평균 소금 섭취량은 영양 섭취기준보다 3배 이상 높다. 본 연구에서는 식품교환표를 이용하여 14일간의 식단을 작성하고 조리된 음식의 나트륨 함량을 실제로 측정한 후 식품교환표와 식품성분표에서 계산된 나트륨 추정치와 비교하여, 각각 방법의 정확성 및 문제점을 파악하고자 하였다. 그 결과를 요약하면 아래와 같다. 하루 식단의 나트륨 함량에서 식품교환표로 계산한 추정치는 실측치와 유의한 차이가 났으나, 식품성분표는 실측치와 유사하였다. 음식별 절대값의 비교에서는 식품교환표로 계산한 나트륨 추정치와 식품성분표로 계산한 나트륨 추정치가 모두 실측치와 유의한 차이가 났다. 음식군별 절대값 비교에서는 양념류의 나트륨 함량이 많은 주요리, 부식, 국물요리에서 상당히 유의한 차이가 났으며, 식품교환표로 계산한 추정치, 식품성분표로 계산한 추정치, 실측치간의 차이가 큰 음식들이 모두 주요리, 부식, 국물요리였다. 이상의 결과에 따르면, 단순히 하루 식단의 나트륨 함량 비교에서 식품교환표에 비해 식품성분표의 나트륨 함량이 더 정확하다고 생각할 수 있지만, 음식별 또는 음식군별로 추정치와 실측치간의 차이를 절대값으로 비교한 결과, 식품교환표와 식품성분표의 나트륨 함량 모두 실측치와 차이가 컸다. 특히 나트륨 과잉 섭취의 주요 원인으로 보고되는 양념류의 차이로 장류, 김치 등의 사용이 많은 한국음식에서 식품교환표와 식품성분표를 이용한 추정치와 실측치의 차이가 컸다. 따라서 고혈압 및 신장질환 환자를 위한 저염식단작성시 식품교환표나 식품성분표를 사용할 때 실제 소금량과의 차이를 고려해야한다.

This study was carried out to investigate contents of nitrosamine precursors such as trite and dimethylamine( DMA ) in some foods. The diazo and Cu- dithiocarbamate melt were used for determination, respectively. The major affecting factors of Nnitrosodimethylamine( NDMA ) formation such as pH, contents of DMA and NaNO$_{2}$, other chemicals, and UV- ray in beverage were investigated in vitro. The contents of nitrite in meat sausage and meat ham were 6.44 ∼ 18.66ppm and 12.85- 39.95pp% respectively, And extremely low level was detected in a certain kind of fish sausage. The contents of DMA in meat sausage meat ham and fish sausage were 3.34∼15. 85ppm, 1.20∼7.10ppm and 7.38∼12.28ppm, respectively. The optimum pH for NDMA formation in vitro was 3.0. NDMA formation was rapidly occurred at high temperature and formed above 80% within 1 hour reaction. The formation of NDMA was increased in proportion to the concentration of DMA and the square of the nitrite concentration. 0.1 M of sodium citrate, sodium tartarated and sodium taiocyanate enhanced NDMA formation. But sodium chloride did not affect. However, 0.3M of ascorbic acid, erythroid acid, ascorbic, palmitate and propy, gallate inhibited NDMA formalion approximately 78%,81%,86% and 85%, respectively. Cow milk and soybean milk inhibited 35 ∼47% of NDMA formation but orange juice and apple juice enhanced 15 ∼64% of NDMA formation. The peak in HPLC for NDMA disappeared by irradiation of UV to prior formed NDMA This result suggest that NDMA was destroyed by UV irradiation.

This study examines the scouring effect of pectinase on ramie fabric and influence of sodium sulfate as an activator for pectinase. The scouring effects were measured by the weight loss and pectin contents. SEM, weight loss, stiffness, moisture regain and dye ability of ramie fabric teated with pectinase/sodium sulfate were also measured. When ramie fabrics were desized with $\alpha$-amylase, the optimum conditions were pH 6.5 at $60^{\circ}C$ for 80 min with 1%(o.w.f) $\alpha$-amylase concentration. When ramie fabrics were scoured with pectinase, the optimum conditions were pH 8.5 at $55^{\circ}C$ for 30 min with 10%(o.w.f) pectinase concentration. Addition of sodium sulfate improved enzyme activity significantly, which increased proportionally with increasing sodium sulfate concentration. When 50 g/l of sodium sulfate was added, the surface became cleaner compared to the enzyme treatment without salt: weight and tensile loss, moisture regain and dyeability of the treated fabrics increased, while pectin contents and stiffness decreased. Therfore, sodium sulfate was effective activator for the pectinase treatment of flax fiber.

Nutrition labeling can provide information in order for people to select products suitable for their own health, and sodium content labeling for processed foods is important since sodium is one of the main causes of cardiac diseases. This study had carried out to propose the desirable sodium content labeling by conducting surveys on the awareness of sodium content in processed foods, understanding of sodium content labeling, and requirements for new sodium comparative claims. The survey period was from 12th of September, 2016 through the 24th, during which a self-administered questionnaire survey was given to 1,003 persons through demographic quota sampling by age and region. As a result of the survey, 66.0% of respondents assuring nutrition labeling answered they check sodium content labeling, whereas 83.2% were aware of excessive intake of sodium having a negative effect on health. Exactly 49.9% of respondents answered that the current system for nutrition labeling on processed foods does not help one to understand the content of sodium, whereas 72.9% answered they wanted to compare sodium contents with those of other products when buying or taking processed foods. As 92.5% cited the importance of sodium comparative claims made by processed foods, preparation of a new system for food labeling should be considered by which consumers can easily compare sodium contents with those of other similar products.

0.1%-Merthiolate solutions were applied to rats with or without sodium selenite. Rat organs were excised under ether anesthesia. Mercury contents in rat tissues were determined by quartz tube combustion gold amalgamation method. Mercury contents were accumulated at about 3-fold in the brain, 143-fold in the kidney, 62-fold in the blood cell, 22-fold in the liver than those of untreated rats respectively, on the 1st day after application of mert iolate for 7 days. On the other hand, the addition of sodium selenite caused a shift in the tissue mercury distribution. Our study showed that simultaneous administration of sodium selenite increased the accumulation of mercury in the brain, but became to decrease it after 9 days, while decreased it in the kidney, but grew to increase it, respectively.
