Retarding retrogradation of Korean rice cakes(Karedduk) with a mixture of trehalose and Sun-Tender added, after 0, 24, and 48 hr of storage at $5^{\circ}C$, was analyzed by Avrami kinetics. A central composite design was used for arrangement of treatment. The two independent variables selected for retarding retrogradation analysis were amounts of trehalose(x) and Sun-Tender(y). Trehalose was added at 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12% levels, and Sun-Tender added at 0, 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, and 1.2% levels, to dry rice flour. The Avrami exponent(n) for the mixtures of 9% trehalose and 0.3% Sun-Tender, and 9% trehalose and 0.9% Sun-Tender were lower than in the control. The time constant(1/k) for the mixture of trehalose and Sun-Tender was higher than in the control. The effect of retarding retrogradation of Korean rice cakes with added mixtures of trehalose and Sun-Tender showed an increasing trend as the amount of trehalose increased. These results suggest that adding a mixture of 9% trehalose and 0.3% Sun-Tender, or 9% trehalose and 0.9% Sun-Tender to Korean rice cakes(Karedduk) is effective for retarding retrogradation.

Texture and descriptive sensory characteristics of a Korean rice cake (Karedduk) added with mixture of trehalose and Sun-Tender were investigated after 2, 24, and 48 hrs of storage at $5^{\circ}C$. A central composite design was used for treatment arrangement. The trehalose were added in 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12% levels and Sun-Tender added in 0, 0.3, 0.6, 0.9, and 1.2% levels to dry rice flour. The mixture amounts of trehalose and Sun-Tender on texture and descriptive sensory characteristics of a Korean rice cake (Karedduk) were optimized using response surface methodology (RSM). The two independent variables selected for the RSM were amounts of trehalose ($X_1$) and amounts of Sun-Tender ($X_2$). The predicted value at stationary point or a minimum for texture hardness by RSM was found as 591.5440 after 24 hrs of storage at $5^{\circ}C$. Also the adhesiveness, hardness, cohesiveness and sweetness by sensory characteristics were significantly different as compared to the control. The results suggested that a Korean rice cake (Karedduk) added with mixture of trehalose and Sun-Tender can be made from the mixture amounts of trehalose 9.5826% and Sun-Tender 0.2216% in retarding retrogradation.

This study was performed to investigate the physicochemical properties of striploin (m. longissimus dorsi), chuck tender (m. supraspinatus) and eye of round (m. semitendinosus) of Holstein steer beef produced from different fattening groups (18, 21, 24 mon-old). The intramuscular fat contents were significantly higher in striploin (9.14%) and eye of round (4.31%) from 24 mon-old groups when compared to the same cuts (6.53% and 2.63%) from 18 mon-old groups, respectively. Three muscles from 18 mon-old group had significantly higher moisture contents (%) than those from the other groups (p<0.05). The protein contents were significantly higher in chuck tender (19.39%) and eye of round (21.09%) from 24 mon-old group than 18- and 21 mon-old groups (p<0.05). There were not significantly different in collagen contents among three fattening groups. In meat color, striploin, chuck tender and eye of round from 21 mon-old group had significantly higher CIE $L^*$ (41.77), $a^*$ (20.98) and $b^*$ (10.87) values than those from the other groups (p<0.05). Warner-Bratzler shear force values (WBS) for three muscles were significantly lower in 24 mon-old group than the other groups (p<0.05). The oleic acids (C18:1n9) contents of three muscles from 24 mon-old group were highest (p<0.05) among three groups. Total contents of MUFA were significantly higher and total contents of PUFA including arachidonic acids (C20:4n6) were significantly lower in chuck tender and eye of round muscles from 24 mon-old group (p<0.05).

Beef producers are trying to produce not only better quality but also greater quantity of beef in order to meet the preferences of some consumers at a lower cost. This can be accomplished if we understand the factors regulating lipid deposition in intramuscular adipose tissue and the tenderness of meat. Propylene glycol (PG) might be used as a precursor of intramuscular fat synthesis especially in the late period of fattening because adipose tissue in ruminants is thought to mature sequentially in abdominal, intermuscular, subcutaneous and intramuscular depots. The action of cholecalciferol supplementation has been verified in producing more tender meat through the enhancement of calpain activity over the postmortem ageing period. A synergistic effect can be expected if the dietary cation and anion difference (DCAD) technique is used in combination with dietary supplementation of cholecalciferol. In another approach, the optimization of hormonal implant use also may provide similarly marbled beef at a much lower cost.

To investigate the effect of low level laser therapy, the author selected 37 dental students with tender points in both masseters and trapeziuses, also measured maximum comportable opening(MCO), Numerical analog scale(NAS) and pressure pain threshold (PPT). 20 subjects were assigned randomly and were treated with GaAlAs diode laser after ultrasound. The other 17 subjects were treated with ultrasound and laser without irradiation. All the subjects were treated after 2 and 4 day respectively and were examined again after 6 days. And the obtained results were as follows : 1. The MCO of irradiated group increased more significantly after treatment than non-irradiated group. 2. The NAS of irradiated group decreased more significantly after treatment than non-irradiated group. 3. The PPT or irradiated group increased more significantly after treatment than non-irradiated group.

In this paper, an example of nonlinear analysis for partial prestressing design is presented. For partial prestressing design, the stress redistribution, after concrete cracking has occurred, should be accurately investigated by nonlinear analysis tools. Direct and iterative methods of nonlinear analyses were adopted for the tender design of the Incheon Bridge viaducts. Stress variations in the prestressing tendons and reinforcing bars were investigated and presented in this paper for both the in-service condition and during construction.

This study was conducted to investigate the proximate composition, meat color, Warner-Bratzler shear force (WBS), total collagen content (%), cooking loss (CL), fatty acid composition, amino acid composition, and mineral content of loin, strip loin, top round, and chuck tender Hanwoo beef and imported Australian beef. Protein content was significantly lower for strip loin and loin of Hanwoo QG $1^+$ and 1 beef when compared to that of Australian black Angus or cross beef (p < 0.05), whereas it was not significantly different for top round and chuck tender. Intramuscular fat content was higher for QG $1^+$ Hanwoo beef strip loin (15.48%) than that in Australian cross beef (8.83%) and it was also higher in loin for QG $1^+$ (17%) and 1 (15.52%) Hanwoo beef than that in Australian Angus beef (10.59%) and cross beef (9.21%) (p < 0.05). The CIE $L^*$ value was significantly higher for Australian cross beef strip loin than that of Hanwoo beef but the CIE $a^*$ value was not significantly different between the same cuts from different origins. However, CIE $b^*$ values were significantly higher for the Australian cross beef than those for four cuts of Hanwoo beef and Australian Angus beef (p < 0.05). No significant difference in WBS of loin, top round, or chuck tender was observed among the different beef sample origins except that strip loin had significant higher WBS for Australian cross beef (3.02 kg) but lower for Australian Angus beef (2.13 kg). Australian cross beef contained significantly higher palmitic acid, stearic acid, linolenic acid, but lower palmitoleic acid, oleic acid, eicosenoic acid content in strip loin, loin, and top round than those of QG $1^+$ and 1 Hanwoo beef (p < 0.05). QG $1^+$ Hanwoo beef had significant lower saturated fatty acid and higher monounsaturated fatty acid content than those in Australian cross beef (p < 0.05). Hanwoo $1^+$ beef had more glycine in top round and chuck tender, whereas Hanwoo QG 1 beef and Australian Angus beef had higher cysteine, methione, and glycine levels in strip loin and loin and valine and leucine in top round and chuck tender than the same cuts of Hanwoo $1^+$ beef (p < 0.05). No significant differences were observed for Ca, Fe, or Zn content among the different beef samples.

Purpose: Collagenoma is an intradermal harmatomatous collagen proliferation among connective tissue nevi of the skin. Although there are some reports of isolated collagenomas that occurred on the sole and the palm, collagenoms at the finger has not been reported in Korea. Methods: An 11-year-old girl presented with a growing mass on the distal interphalangeal joint of the left 5th finger. It was a skin-colored, oval and mild tender mass. There were no associated cutaneous or systemic abnormal findings. Results: The nodule, at the subcutaneous level on the distal phalanx, was completely removed by excision. Grossly it was covered with normal skin, and its surface was smooth having a definite margin with a size of $1.5{\times}1.2cm$. Histopathological examination, the epidermis showed to be normal, increased thickness of collagens arranged with a whirl formation was found in the dermis. No signs of cellular component increase were observed. Conclusion: Isolated collagenoma can be aroused as a solitary nodule in at any place of the body. We report a rare case of a female patient with an isolated finger collagenoma.

We report a case of pseudoaneurysm of the parietal division of the superficial temporal artery (STA) secondary to iatrogenic head injury due to Gardner traction. A 54-year-old man presented with a pulsatile, cystic, and painless mass in the right anterior temporal region which developed three weeks after head fixation via Gardner traction. At the time of discovery, the mass was 10 mm in diameter, compressible and disappeared after manual compression of the proximal STA. A bruit was audible over the mass, which was thought to be a pseudoaneurysm. A computed tomography angiogram (CTA) showed a pseudoaneurysm of the parietal division of the right ST A. The tip of the pseudoaneurysm was thrombosed and was both red and tender. The pseudoaneurysm was thought to be filled with infected thrombus, and the mass was resected with ligation of the proximal and distal ends of the STA. A pseudoaneurysm of the STA should be suspected when there is a history of possible vessel injury, such as a history of head-pin fixation, and when a patient presents with a pulsatile, cystic mass near the temple. Pseudoaneurysms can be successfully treated by excision.
