이 연구는 중국 동북부 활엽수-잣나무 천연림의 다섯 가지 임형에 대하여 임분의 생장 모델과 수확 모델을 개발하기 위하여 수행되었다. 연구 자료는 43년생부터 364년생 범위에 이르는 임분에서 0.06ha에서 1.0ha 크기의 359개 임시 표본구와 58I개의 영구 표본구에서 수집되었다. 입지조건을 평가하기 위하여 지위급지수(Site Class Index; SCI)플 도입하였고, 천연혼효림의 임분밀도를 측정하기 위하여 수관경쟁지수(Crown Competition Factor; CCF)를 채택하였다. SCI 공식과 수고-직경 곡선 모델은 Chapman-Richards 함수를 이용하였고, 흉고직경, 흉고단면적, 및 임분재적 모델의 개발은 Schumacher의 생장함수를 기본 모델로 선정하였다. 평균 흉고직경과 흉고단면적 생장 모델에서 Schumacher 함수의 점근매개변수 A는 입지조건(SCI)과 임분밀도(CCF)와 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 비율매개변델수 k는 임분밀도와 관계가 있었고 입지조건과는 무관한 것으로 나타났다. 개발된 생장 모델과 수확 모델로써 예측된 임분 제원들을 평가하기 위하여 별개의 임분 자료를 이용하여 유효성 검정을 실시하였다. 검정 결과, 예측치의 상대평균오차(RME)는 ${\pm}5%$ 미만으로 산출되었고 임분 변수들의 정확도는 모두 95% 이상인 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 산림유역의 최상류지역에 위치한 일시하천(ephemeral stream)과 간헐천(intermittent stream)이 상존하는 수변지역을 대상으로 지하수위의 계절적인 변화 양상을 파악하였다. 3곳의 산림유역(총 12개 소유역)에서 일시하천 및 간헐천의 수변구역 보호를 위한 최적관리기법을 포함하는 4개의 처리구(BMP1, BMP2, clearcut, reference)를 적용하였다. 지하수위는 각 소유역별 25개소(총 300개소)에서 2주 간격으로 측정되었으며, 벌채 전 1년과 벌채 후 2년, 총 3년 동안 관측되었다. 전체적으로 지하수위의 반응은 강우량의 영향이 큰 것으로 관찰되었다. 또한, 산림벌채전과 비교하여, 벌채 후 2년 동안 지하수위는 유의적으로 증가하였다. 특히, 벌채 1년 후(2008) 개벌처리구에서 28.2cm, 벌채 2년 후(2009) BMP2에서 54.2cm로 가장 크게 증가하였다. 그러나, 개벌처리구와 BMP2의 지하수위 변화 특성을 비교할 때, 벌채된 목재의 재적과 지하수위의 변화는 직접적인 연관성이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 산림벌채로 인한 지하수위의 증가는 �㎱굇璲� 보다 건조기간 동안 더 크게 나타났으며, 이러한 계절적인 추이는 산림벌채 후 식생구조의 차이에서 야기되는 증발산양의 변화에 기인하는 것으로 사료된다.

The purpose of this study is to suggest the ecological management based on ecological characteristics of urban forest in Bucheon city. The actual vegetation area in the survey sites(7,426,587$m^2$) consisted of Robinuia pseudoacacia forest(61.6%; 5,574,168 $m^2$), Pinus rigida forest(6.1%), Quercus mongolica community(3.2%), Q.spp.community(2.9%), etc. According to the importance value of artificial planting forest, 58(/300$m^2$) survey plots were divided into 6 groups; 1) R. pseudoacacia forest, 2) R. pseudoacacia-Q.serrata community, 3) R. pseudoacacia-Q.mongolica community, 4) P.rigide forest, 5) P.rigida-Q.serrata community, 6) P.rigida-Q. mongolica community. As the result, the artificial planting forest was expected to the proceeded to Q. serrata community and Q.mongolica community. The ecological succesion stage in the survey sites (7,426,587$m^2$) was divided into 5 states based on actual vegetation, succession trend of artificial planting forest in Bucheon; 1) Stage of impossible succession(4.7%, 2)Stage of inducible succession(78.7%), 3) Stage of progressive succession(2.7%), 4)Sage of last succession(1.4%), 5)Stage of native plant forest(12.5%). The ecological management of urban forest was suggested as the management method for succession promotion, according to density controlling and native species planting in Bucheon. Individual numbers of R. pseudoacacia might be reduced to 6~8 individuals/300$m^2$ at canopy, 9~21 individuals/300$m^2$ at under-story by selective cutting in order to keep 63~70% of total basal area at R. pseudoacacia forest. Individual numbers of P.rigida might be reduced to 8~9 individuals/300$m^2$ at canopy, 27~30individuals/300$m^2$ at under-story by selective cutting in order to keep 68~75% of total basal area at P. rigida forest. 24 species that were selective by constancy analysis were chosen as the ecological appropriate species. Since, this studyis discussing the ares of urban forest and botanical ecology, it is suggested that a study on the relations between of environmental factors such as soil, climate, and vegetation will be performed in the future.

Objective: We compare the effects of three different approved sources of supplemental zilpaterol on growth-performance responses and carcass characteristics of finishing lambs. Methods: Twenty four Pelibuey${\times}$Katahdin lambs ($46.75{\pm}2.43kg$) were used in a 33-day feeding trial. Lambs were fed a dry rolled corn-based finishing diet. Treatments consisted of the non-supplemental basal diet (Control) versus the basal diet supplemented with 125 mg zilpaterol/kg of diet (as fed basis) from three commercial sources marketed in Mexico: Zilmax (ZIL), Grofactor, and Zipamix. Results: Compared to controls, zilpaterol (ZH) supplementation did not affect dry matter intake (DMI), but increased carcass adjusted daily weight gain (ADG, 36.7%), gain efficiency (34.2%), and dietary net energy (26.0%), and decreased (23.4%) the ratio of observed:expected DMI. Compared to controls, supplemental ZH increased hot carcass weight (6.4%), dressing percentage (3.2%), m. longissimus thoracis (LM) area (15.6%), and shoulder muscle:fat ratio (28.7%), but decreased kidney-pelvic-heart fat, and fat thickness. Supplemental ZH increased 10.9% and 14.3% whole cut weight of loin and leg, respectively, and the proportion (as percentage of cold carcass weight) of leg (4.3%). These increases were reflected in greater forequarter and hindquarter weights. Lambs fed ZH increased (4.6%) empty body weight (EBW) and reduced (14.7%) liver/spleen weight (as g/kg EBW). Likewise, ZH supplementation tended (p = 0.08) to lower (8.9%) visceral fat. Growth performance, energetic efficiency, hot carcass weight, dressing percentage, LM area and whole cuts were not different across supplemental ZH sources. However, compared with non-supplemented controls, only ZIL appreciably decreased carcass fat distribution, including fat thickness, percentage kidney pelvic and heart fat, shoulder fat, and visceral fat. Conclusion: Supplemental ZH increases ADG, gain efficiency, carcass dressing percentage, and LM area. The magnitude of these responses was similar among ZH sources. Nevertheless, compared with non-supplemented controls, only ZIL appreciably decreases carcass fat. The basis for this is uncertain, but indicative that some practical differences in zilpaterol bio-equivalency may exist across commercial sources tested.

Eccrine poroma is a common benign cutaneous tumor that originates in an intraepidermal eccrine duct. This tumor exhibits acral distribution (sole, palm), and is rarely encountered in the head and neck area. In fact eccrine poroma in the postauricular area has only been rarely reported. A 55-year-old female visited our hospital with a main complaint of a mass that first developed in the left postauricular area about a year previously. The mass was painless, soft, protruding, domed, and dark red in color, and had slowly enlarged (at presentation it measured $1\times1cm$). Excisional biopsy was performed. Histological examination showed distinct features, and eccrine poroma was diagnosed. Follow-up at 6 months postoperatively showed no recurrence. The frequency of eccrine poroma is dependent on eccrine sweat glands density, and thus, usually occurs on the palms or soles. For eccrine poroma in the head and neck region, the differential diagnosis must rule out other masses, such as nevus, skin tag, pyogenic granuloma, cyst, basal cell carcinoma, and seborrheic keratosis. Importantly, 18% of poromas show malignant transformation, and can develop into porocarcinoma. For these reasons, an eccrine poroma in the facial area requires histological examination, complete excision, and follow-up.

Objective: Parathyroid hormone like hormone (PTHLH), as an essential factor for bone growth, is involved in a variety of physiological processes. The aim of this study was to explore the role of PTHLH gene in the growth of antlers. Methods: The coding sequence (CDS) of PTHLH gene cDNA was obtained by cloning in sika deer (Cervus nippon), and the bioinformatics was analyzed. The quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to analyze the differences expression of PTHLH mRNA in different tissues of the antler tip at different growth periods (early period, EP; middle period, MP; late period, LP). Results: The CDS of PTHLH gene was 534 bp in length and encoded 177 amino acids. Predictive analysis results revealed that the PTHLH protein was a hydrophilic protein without transmembrane structure, with its secondary structure consisting mainly of random coil. The PTHLH protein of sika deer had the identity of 98.31%, 96.82%, 96.05%, and 94.92% with Cervus canadensis, Bos mutus, Oryx dammah and Budorcas taxicolor, which were highly conserved among the artiodactyls. The qRT-PCR results showed that PTHLH mRNA had a unique spatio-temporal expression pattern in antlers. In the dermis, precartilage, and cartilage tissues, the expression of PTHLH mRNA was extremely significantly higher in MP than in EP, LP (p<0.01). In the mesenchyme tissue, the expression of PTHLH mRNA in MP was significantly higher than that of EP (p<0.05), but extremely significantly lower than that of LP (p<0.01). The expression of PTHLH mRNA in antler tip tissues at all growth periods had approximately the same trend, that is, from distal to basal, it was first downregulated from the dermis to the mesenchyme and then continuously up-regulated to the cartilage tissue. Conclusion: PTHLH gene may promote the rapid growth of antler mainly through its extensive regulatory effect on the antler tip tissue.

목적: 본 연구의 목적은 소아 모야모야병 환자에 있어서, 수술 전후 기저/아세타졸아미드 부하 뇌혈류 단일광자방출 단층촬영(SPECT) 분석에 확률뇌지도를 이용하여 수술로 인한 뇌혈역학적 변화 및 예후 예측인자 분석을 하여 뇌확률지도의 유용성을 평가하는 것이다. 대상 및 방법: 연구대상으로 서울대어린이 병원에서 소아 모야모야병으로 진단받고, 수술받은 56명(남:여=32:24, 나이 $6.7{\pm}3.2$세)이 포함되었다. 각각의 환자는 기저/아세타졸아미드 부하 뇌혈류 SPECT를 수술 전후 6-12개월 사이에 시행하였다. 각각의 환자는 한 측 반구에 encephalo-duro-arterio-synangiosis (EDAS)와 encephalo-galeo-synangiosis (EGS)를 우선적으로 시행받았고, 그 후 순차적으로 반대측 반구에 EDAS를 시행하였다. 환자들은 수술 후 $33{\pm}21$개월 추적 관찰하였다. 환자들의 SPECT 영상을 SPM에서 공간정규화 하고 뇌교의 계수를 기준으로 계수정규화한 후 한국표준확률뇌지도 (Koreans Statistical Probabilistic Map, K-SPAM)를 이용하여 부위별 혈류를 정량화 하였다. 각각 정류화된 혈류를 수술 전후, 대뇌반구간, 그리고 임상결과에 따라 비교하였다. 또한 임상결과가 좋은 군과 나쁜 군 사이에 차이가 있는 요소를 이용하여 회귀분석을 시행하였다. 결과: 수술 후 양측 내측 전두엽이랑, 전두엽, 두정엽, 측두엽, 내측경동맥 영역, 전뇌의 기저/아세타졸아미드 부하 뇌혈류가 유의하게 호전되었다(p<0.05). 대뇌반구간 비교에서는 수술전 기저/아세타졸아미드 부하 뇌혈류 및 혈류예비능지표에 차이가 있었으나, 수술 후 이 차이는 사라졌다(p<0.05). 임상결과가 좋은 환자군의 수술 전 EDAS와 EGS를 시행한 내측 전두엽 뇌이랑의 기저 뇌혈류, 동측 전두엽, 측두엽, 그리고 전뇌의 수술 후 혈류예비능지표 및 수술전후 혈류예비능지표차가 더 우수하였다(p<0.05). 회귀분석결과에 의하면, EDAS와 EGS를 시행한 내측 전두엽 뇌이랑의 수술 전 혈류예비능지표와 전뇌의 수술 전후 혈류예비능지표차가 수술 후 임상결과를 예측할 수 있는 유의한 인자이다(p=0.002, p=0.015). Conclusion: 뇌확률지도를 이용하여 소아 모야모야병 환자의 기저/아세타졸아미드 부하 뇌혈류 SPECT를 정량화하여 분석할 수 있었다. 이 방법으로 수술에 의한 뇌혈류역학적 변화를 객관적으로 평가할 수 있었으며, 모야모야병환자의 수술 결과의 예측인자를 평가할 수 있었다.

Objective: This study evaluated the effects of a traditional Chinese medicine formula (TCMF) on muscle fiber characteristics in finishing pigs and the effects of the formula's extract (distilled water, ethyl acetate and petroleum ether extraction) on porcine cell proliferation and isoforms of myosin heavy chain (MyHC) gene expression in myocytes. Methods: In a completely randomized design, ninety pigs were assigned to three diets with five replications per treatment and six pigs per pen. The diets included the basal diet (control group), TCMF1 (basal diet+2.5 g/kg TCMF) and TCMF2 (basal diet+5 g/kg TCMF). The psoas major muscle was obtained from pigs at the end of the experiment. Muscle fiber characteristics in the psoas major muscle were analyzed using myosin ATPase staining. Cell proliferation was measured using 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) dye and cytometry. Isoforms of MyHC gene expression were detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Results: The final body weight and carcass weight of finishing pigs were increased by TCMF1 (p<0.05), while the psoas major muscle cross-sectional area was increased by TCMF (p<0.05). The cross-sectional area and diameter of psoas major muscle fiber Ι, IIA, and IIB were increased by TCMF2 (p<0.05). The cross-sectional area and fiber diameter of psoas major muscle fiber IIA and IIB were increased by diet supplementation with TCMF1 (p<0.05). Psoas major muscle fiber IIA and IIB fiber density from the pigs fed the TCMF1 diet and the type IIB fiber density from the pigs fed the TCMF2 diet were lower compared to pigs fed the control diet (p<0.05). Pigs fed TCMF2 had a higher composition of type Ι fiber and a lower percentage of type IIB fiber in the psoas major muscle (p<0.05). The expression levels of MyHC Ι, MyHC IIa, and MyHC IIx mRNA increased and the amount of MyHC IIb mRNA decreased in the psoas major muscle from TCMF2, whereas MyHC Ι and MyHC IIx mRNA increased in the psoas major muscle from TCMF1 (p<0.05). Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ${\gamma}$ $coactivator-1{\alpha}$ and CaN mRNA expression in the psoas major muscle were up-regulated by TCMF (p<0.05). Porcine skeletal muscle satellite cell proliferation was promoted by $4{\mu}g/mL$ and $20{\mu}g/mL$ TCMF water extraction (p<0.05). Both $1{\mu}g/mL$ and $5{\mu}g/mL$ of TCMF water extraction increased MyHC IIa, MyHC IIb, and MyHC IIx mRNA expression in porcine myocytes (p<0.05), while MyHC Ι mRNA expression in porcine myocytes was decreased by $5{\mu}g/mL$ TCMF water extraction (p<0.05). Porcine myocyte MyHC Ι and MyHC IIx mRNA expression were increased, and MyHC IIa and MyHC IIb mRNA expression were down-regulated by $5{\mu}g/mL$ TCMF ethyl acetate extraction (p<0.05). MyHC Ι and MyHC IIa mRNA expression in porcine myocytes were increased, and the MyHC IIb mRNA expression was decreased by $1{\mu}g/mL$ TCMF ethyl acetate extraction (p<0.05). Four isoforms of MyHC mRNA expression in porcine myocytes were reduced by $5{\mu}g/mL$ TCMF petroleum ether extraction (p<0.05). MyHC IIa mRNA expression in porcine myocytes increased and MyHC IIb mRNA expression decreased by $1{\mu}g/mL$ in a TCMF petroleum ether extraction (p<0.05). Conclusion: These results indicated that TCMF amplified the psoas major muscle cross-sectional area through changing muscle fiber characteristics in finishing pigs. This effect was confirmed as TCMF extraction promoted porcine cell proliferation and affected isoforms of MyHC gene expression in myocytes.

The present study investigated the hypophysial responsiveness in terms of GnRH induced LH and FSH release in cycling buffalo during the tropical summer and winter climatic conditions (seasons). Peripheral plasma LH and FSH levels were measured at 1 hour before and 6 hours subsequent to the administration of GnRH (1 ug/kg body weight) or saline on Day 14 of oestrous cycle in 2 groups of buffalo (n = 6 each) during summer and winter seasons. Although GnRH induced LH peak concentrations did not differ during the two seasons, time to attain LH peak concentration was shorter (p < 0.05) and the area under LH peak was 39% higher (p < 0.05) during winter season in comparison to summer season. However, season had no effect on GnRH induced peak FSH concentration, time to attain peak FSH concentration and the area under FSH peak. Pretreatment basal LH and FSH levels did not differ during the two seasons. The present study suggests that the summer season adversely affects the GnRH stimulated release of LH in buffalo.
