The effect of ${\alpha}$-tocopherol and ${\beta}$-carotene supplementation on reducing the oxidative damag in the liver of rats were studied. Forth-five male Sprague Dawley aged 4 weeks were randomly assigned to 9 groups of five for the 12 weeks of the study. Nine groups, sardine oil, sardine oil＋Vt E, sardine oil＋${\beta}$-carotene, soybean oil, soybean oil＋Vt E, soybean oil＋${\beta}$-carotene, lard, lard＋Vt E, lard＋${\beta}$-carotene group, were prepared. Sardine oil, soybean oil, or lard was used for dietary fat and 200% of ${\alpha}$ -tocopherol or 150% of ${\beta}$-carotene was supplemented to each diet. Each diet supplied 65% of total energy as carbohydrate, 15% as protein, and 20% as lipid. The MDA value and protein carbonyl contents of sardine oil group were significantly different(p<0.05) to those of other fat groups indicating that the most severe lipid oxidation occurred in the group fed diet containing highly polyunsaturated fatty acid. When ${\alpha}$-tocopherol or ${\beta}$ -carotene was supplemented to the sardine oil diet, MDA value(-35%, -15%, respectively) and protein carbonyl content(-44%, -32%, respectively) decreased significantly(p<0.05). Cu, Zn-superoxide dismutase(SOD) and catalase activities of three different sardine oil groups with or without antioxidants were lower than those of soybean oil or lard group. The reducing effect of ${\alpha}$-tocopherol on oxidative damage in sardine oil group supplemented with ${\alpha}$-tocopherol was noticeable(p<0.05). However the adverse effect of ${\beta}$-carotene was observed. SOD and catalase activities of ${\beta}$-carotene supplemented groups were that the lowest among the same fat groups, but the differences were not statistically significant. The possible cause of decreased enzyme activity seemed to be related to the vitamin A(Vt A) toxicity in the liver where retinol converted from dietary ${\beta}$-carotene in the intestinal mucosa was stored.

Global climate change exerts adverse effects on maize production. Among abiotic stresses, drought stress during the tasseling stage (VT) can increase anthesis-silking intervals (ASI) and decrease yield. We performed an evaluation of ASI and yield using a drought-sensitive line (Ki3) and a drought-tolerant line (Ki11) to analyze the correlation with ASI and yield. Moreover, the de novo data of Ki11 were analyzed to find putative novel transcripts related todrought stress in tropical maize. A total of 182 transcripts, with a log2 ratio >1.5, were found by comparing drought conditions to a control. The top 40 transcripts of high expression levels in the de novo analysis were selected and analyzed with PCR. Of the 40 transcripts, six novel transcripts were detected by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) using seedling and VT stage samples. Five transcripts (transcripts_1, 12, 34, 35, and 40) were up-regulated in the Ki11 shoot at seedling stage, and transcripts_1, 12, and 40 were up-regulated at the re-watering stage after 12 h of drought stress. The transcripts_32 and 34 were up-regulated at the VT stage. Hence, transcript_34 possibly plays a significant role in drought tolerance during the seedling and VT stages. The transcript_32 was identified as chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) by Pfam domain analysis. The function of the other transcripts remained unknown. Further characterization of these novel transcripts in genetic regulation will be of great value for the improvement of maize production.

The frequency and intensity of soil moisture stress associated with climate change has increasing, and the stability of field crop cultivation has decreasing. This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of soil moisture management method on growth and yield of corn. Soil moisture was managed at the grade of WSM (wet soil moisture, 34.0~42.9%), OSM (optimum soil moisture, 27.8~34.0%), DSM (dry soil moisture, 20.3~27.8%), and ESM (extreme dry moisture, 16.6~20.3%) during V8 (8th leaf stage)-VT (tasseling stage). After VT, irrigation was limited. The treated amount of irrigation was 54.1, 47.7, 44.0 and 34.5% of total water requirement, respectively. The potential evapotranspiration during the growing period was $3.29mm\;day^{-1}$, and upward movement of soil water was estimated by the AFKAE 0.5 model in the order of ESM, DSM, OSM, and WSM. We could confirm this phenomenon from actual observations. There was no significant difference in leaf characteristics, dry matter, and primary productivity depending on the level of soil moisture, but leaf development was delayed and dry weight decreased in DSM. However, dry weight and individual productivity of DSM increased after irrigation withdrawal compared to that of OSM. In DSM, ear yield and number of kernels per ear decreased, but water use efficiency and harvest index were higher than other treatments. Therefore, it is considered that the soil moisture is concentratedly managed before the V8 period, the V8-VT period is controlled within the range of 100 to 500 kPa (20.3~27.8%), and no additional irrigation is required after the VT.

Background: This study was performed to evaluate the effects of Thermal stimulation combined virtual reality training (TV) on improvement of upper extremity AROM and function in patient with chronic stroke. Design: Two groups pre-post randomized controlled design. Methods: A single-blind, randomized controlled trial was conducted with 30 chronic stroke patients. They were randomly allocated two groups; the TV group (n=15) and Virtual Reality training group (VT) (n=15). The TV group received treatment for 30 min - 15 min of Thermal stimulation, and 15 min of VR training. The VT group received 15 min of VR training. Each group performed 30 minutes a day 3 times a week for 8 weeks. The primary outcome upper extremity AROM and function were measured by a active range of motion test, Manual Function Test (MFT) and Jebsen-Taylor hand function Test (JTT). The upper extremity active range of motion was evaluated using a digital dual inclinometer. MFT and JTT were used to evaluate the hand function. The measurement were performed before and after the 8 weeks intervention period. Results: Both groups demonstrated significant improvement of outcome in muscle strength and upper extremity function during intervention period. TV group revealed significant differences in AROM and upper extremity function as compared to the VT groups (p<.05). Our results showed that TV was more effective on upper extremity AROM and function in patients with chronic stroke. Conclusion: Both groups demonstrated significant improvement of outcome in muscle strength and upper extremity function during intervention period. TV group revealed significant differences in AROM and upper extremity function as compared to the VT groups (p<.05). Our results showed that TV was more effective on upper extremity AROM and function in patients with chronic stroke.

천연(天然) 제오라이트, 벤토나이트, 버미큐라이트에 의한 $^{42}K$, $^{45}Ca$ 흡착(吸着)이 Frendlich와 Langmuir 등온흡착방식(等溫吸着方式)에 맞는지, 또한 이들 흡착체(吸着體)에 흡착(吸着)된 방사성(放射性) 핵종(核種)이 $NH_4$에 의해서 탈착(脫着)되는 정도(程度)를 이들 광물(鑛物)의 결정구조적(結晶構造的) 특성(特性)과 관련시키면서 상호(相互) 비교(比較)해 봤다. 우선 $^{42}K$, $^{45}Ca$ 흡착(吸着)은 두 가지 흡착방식(吸着方式)에 잘 맞는다. Langmuir 최대흡착량(最大吸着量)은 버미큐라이트를 제외(除外)하고는 제오라이트와 벤토나이트 모두 $^{42}K$ 흡착량(吸着量)이 $^{45}Ca$ 흡착량(吸着量) 보다 많다. $^{42}K$ 흡착량(吸着量)의 크기를 보면 zeolite(Zt) > Bentonite (Bt) > Vermiculite (Vt)의 순(順)이고 $^{45}Ca$의 경우는 Bt>Vt>Zt이다. 제오라이트가 $^{42}K$를 $^{45}Ca$ 보다 더 많이 흡착(吸着)하는 것은 이온반경(半徑)과 제오라이트 공동(空洞)의 크기와 밀접한 관계가 있는 것으로 보여진다. Ca 이온반경(半徑)은 작기 때문에 공동(空洞)으로 부터 빠져 나온다. 벤토나이트가 $^{45}Ca$를 더 흡착(吸着)하는 것은 하전밀도(荷電密度)가 K의 하전밀도(荷電密度) 보다 크기 때문이라고 본다. $^{42}K$, $^{45}Ca$의 흡착강도(吸着强度)는 Langmuir 정수(定數)(k)와 비교(比較)해 보면 $^{42}K$의 경우는 k값이 $^{45}Ca$의 k값 보다 작다. k값이 작으면 흡착강도(吸着强度)는 약(弱)하다고 본다. $^{42}K$의 탈착율(脫着率)은 Zt>Bt>Vt 의 순(順)이고 $^{45}Ca$는 Vt>Zt>Bt 의 순(順)이다. 버미큐라이트의 $K^+$에 대한 선택적 고정은 제외하고 k값이 작은 것이 탈착율(脫着率)은 높다. 결론적(結論的)으로 제오라이트는 다른 개량재(改良材)보다 $^{42}K$를 더 흡착(吸着)하고 방출(放出)도 많다. 벤토나이트는 다른 개량재(改良材)보다 $^{45}Ca$를 더 흡착(吸着)하나 탈착(脫着)은 적다.

This study suggests an alternative breast-prosthesis-making process for female breast cancer patients. From June 2018 to July 2018, we conducted a study using nine females between the ages 40-50 who never had breast cancer. We recorded the reported subjective sensations and objective physiological responses to different types of artificial breast materials: Trulife silicon breast prostheses (TS) and hand-made silk breast prostheses (HS). Considering the materials used in TS and HS individually, we studied the subjective sensation with regards to how each material functioned in a photo (VP), movement (VM) and the visual tactility (VT) sense. The results showed that comparing VP and VT led to more significant differences than those comparing VM and VT. In addition, there was a significant difference in terms of tactile sensation when comparing TS and HS with respect to subjective responses to texture. Subjects reported that HS felt more comfortable and gave a better cooling sensation. However, the measured objective physiological responses indicated that skin temperature was higher with HS than TS when touched. This research contributes to scholarship around alternative and new materials to build breast prostheses for women with breast cancer.

To gain insight into the relationship between the occurrence of occlusive arrhythmia(OA) and the incidence of reperfusion arrhythmia(RA), this study used 25 open-chest dogs anesthetized with halothan, these were ligated between anterior ventricular branch and marginal branch of left circumflex artery for 30 minutes and occlusive arrhythmia were observed during the ligation. After releasing of the ligation, TA were observed during 5 minutes. The results were summerized as follow； 1. Such arrhythmias as ventricular fibrillation(VF), short run type VPC Premature contraction(VPC), Venticular tachycardia(VT), ventricularc and trigeminy VPC(TVPC) were observed during occlusion and reperfusion. 2. The cases occurred VT, SRVPC and TVPC during occlusion necessarily were Incidence of RA. 3. RA never occurred without appearence of occlusive arrhythmias. 4. The occurrence rate of OA showed 55.5% in the incidence group of RA and 24.6％ in the non incidence group of RA. 5. The occurrence rate of VPC during occlusion showed 9.9＋5.85(episode/min) in the incidence group of RA and 4.46＋5.88(episode/min) in the non-incidence group of RA. These results may be estimated that the occurrence of VT, SRVPC and TVPC, and the high occurrence rate of VPC during occlusion can be predicted the incidence.

Three and 2 strains of E coli O157 were isolated from fecal materials of cattle (390) and pigs (420) in Korea, respectively. One strain of O157:H7 isolated from cattle and 2 strains of O157:H7 isolated from pigs were identified as verotoxin-1 (VT-1) produing strains and 2 strains (O157:H7 and O157:H-) isolated from cattle were identified as verotoxin-2 (VT-2) producing strains by neutralization test on HeLa and Vero cells. Culture supernatants of the isolates were cytotoxic to HeLa and Vero cells. The levels of cytotoxin produced by isolates were $10^2{\sim}10^4$ cytotoxic dose($CD_{50}$)/ml. Also, VT-2-converting bacteriophage was isolated from KSC109 strain which had been isolated from cattle. Molecular weight of the phage DNA was determined as approximately 45 Kb in 0.8% agarose gel electrophoresis, and morphology of the phage stained with phosphotungstic acid was observed by transmissible electron microscopy.

This paper describes a compensation algorithm for a measurement voltage transformer (VT) based on the hysteresis characteristics of the core. The error of the VT is caused by the voltages across the primary and secondary windings. The latter depends on the secondary current whilst the former depends on the primary current, i.e. the sum of the exciting current and the secondary current. The proposed algorithm calculates the voltages across the primary and secondary windings and add them to the measured secondary voltage for compensation. To do this, the primary and secondary currents should be estimated. The secondary current is obtained directly from the secondary voltage and used to calculate the voltage across the secondary winding. For the primary current, in this paper, the exciting current is decomposed into the two currents, i.e. the core-loss current and the magnetizing current. The core-loss current is obtained by dividing the primary induced voltage by the core-loss resistance. The magnetizing current is obtained by inserting the flux into the flux-magnetizing current curve. The calculated voltages across the primary and secondary windings are added to the measured secondary current for compensation. The proposed compensation algorithm improves the error of the VT significantly.
