Purpose: An animal model of pressure ulcers was experimentally-induced with the use of greater trochanter of rats. Methods: Twelve male Sprague-Dawley rats were used in this study and they were randomly divided into 4 groups: Group I (n=3, 120 mmHg, 2 hr), Group II (n=3, 120 mmHg, 3 hr), Group III (n=3, 140 mmHg, 3 hr) and Group IV (n=3, 140 mmHg, 4 hr). The rats were anesthetized with 100 mg/kg of ketamine. The pressure ulcers were induced by using a personally-designed pressing apparatus. After 5 days, the wounds were photographed and excised. Results: After 5 days of induced pressure ulcers, it was observed that Group I and Group II responded with Grade I and Grade II, respectively, while Group III and Group IV responded with Grade III. Conclusion: According to the result of this study, it can be concluded that the pressure ulcers were induced the characteristic grades of pressure ulcer classification by adjusting the degree and the duration of compression.

This study is aimed at the development of a comprehensive web-based partial differential equation solver (WPDES) using multidimensional finite element method, which can be operated on the basis of world wide web. Overall issues of engineering and environmental information management and facility control could be implemented using this solver. This paper describes the development technique of the model, which is first part on development of partial differential equation solver. Conventional commercial general solver of computational fluid dynamics problems were investigated. All the relevant environmental models were analyzed to develop integrated environmental management system using WPDES. The governing equations and the parameters of investigated models were analyzed and integrated. Several numerical modules were invented for each partial differential term in partial differential equation of many related modeling problems. Each module was coded in the fashion of object oriented method, and was combined independently for the overall governing equation. WPDES has unique characteristic, which can analyze the problem through the suitable combination of modules without development of additional models for each environment problem with different governing equation, main variables, and parameters.

Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) was identified from seven plants at two areas, Anyang and Dangjin, in Korea. The isolates of TSWV were seven as TSWV-KATm from tomato, TSWV-KAPo from potato, TSWV-KABal from balsam, TSWV-KACTm from cherry tomato and TSWV-KAIxe from Ixeris dentata at Anyang area, and TSWV-KDSe from sesame and TSWV-KDRP from red pepper at Dangjin area. Pathogenicity of seven TSWV isolates was various on the assay plants, and could not be grouped definitely. Three isolates of TSWV-KAIxe, TSWV-KACTm and TSWV-KABal had relatively narrower host ranges among the seven isolates. Percentage of nucleotide substitution in nucleotide sequences encoding nucleocapsid protein (NCP) was 1.2-1.7% among seven TSWV isolates and TSWV-KP. Korean TSWV isolates were divided into three groups by nucleotide homology or amino acid compositions. From the analysis of nucleotide sequences of Korean TSWV isolates compared with those of TSWV reported from other 5 countries including Japan, the Korean seven isolates of TSWV was grouped with German TSWV (D13926). No Korean TSWV isolates were grouped with those from The Netherlands, Brazil and USA.

Purpose: Dyslipidemia is one of the most important cardiovascular risk factors. The purpose of this study was to compare serum lipid levels in college students and pre-graduates. Methods: Data were obtained from student health examination in one university located in Kyunggi-province. Participants were 440 college students and 1973 pre-graduates. The data were collected in May of 2010. T-test, Chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, and multiple regression with dummy variables using SAS version 9.1 were performed. Results: Pre-graduates showed significantly higher level of total cholesterol, triglyceride, and LDL than college students. There was no significant difference in alcohol drinking between college students and pre-graduates. However, smoking and diet behavior were significantly different; pre-graduates were more likely being current smoker and recommended to change diet behavior. When adjusting covariates including general and behavioral characteristic, pre-graduates had significantly higher total cholesterol (p<.001), triglyceride (p=.003), and LDL (p=.003). Among covariates, smoking was significantly related to triglyceride, particularly past smokers. Conclusion: There is a need to develop a lipid-reducing program targeting pre-graduates. This program should be considered behavioral factors, particularly smoking. In addition, given the fact that pre-graduates had unhealthy habits compared with college students, interventions for correcting health behaviors in this population are required.

This study was carried out to analyze vegetation and soil characteristic, and ordination of Scrophularia takesimensis population, Ulleung Island. The Scrophularia takesimensis population was classified into Aster spathulifolius for. oharai dominant population, Vitis amurensis dominant population and Scrophularia takesimensis typical population. The Scrophularia takesimensis population was located in elevation of 1m to 6m, in Ulleung Island. In the study sites, soil organic matter, nitrogen, available phosphorous, exchangeable potassium, exchangeable calcium, exchangeable magnesium and exchangeable sodium concentration, and cation exchange capacity, and soil pH were 9.1~19.1%, 0.19~0.52%, 87.1~196.7mg/kg, 2.0~2.8cmol+/kg, 5.4~5.9cmol+/kg, 5.9~8.8cmol+/kg, 4.4~4.8cmol+/kg, 20.3~26.7cmol+/kg, and 6.8~8.0, respectively. The Vitis amurensis dominant population was mainly found in the high percentage of total nitrogen, organic matter, CEC in comparison with Aster spathulifolius for. oharai dominant population.

Using fungal (Fusarium solani f. pisi) and bacterial (Pseudomonas mendocina) cutinases, the initial hydrolysis rate of p-nitrophenyl esters was systematically estimated for a wide range of enzyme and substrate concentrations using a 96-well microplate reader. Both cutinases exhibited a high substrate specificity; i.e. a high hydrolytic activity on p-nitrophenyl butyrate (PNB), yet extremely low activity on p-nitrophenyl palmitate (PNP). When compared to the hydrolysis of PNB and PNP by other hydrolases [lipases and esterases derived from different microbial sources, such as bacteria (Pseudomonas cepacia, Psedomonas furescens, Baciilus stearothermophilus), molds (Aspeillus niger, mucor miehei), and yeasts (Candida rugosa, Candida cylindracea)], the above substrate specificity would seem to be a unique characteristic of cutinases. Secondly, the hydrolytic activity of the cutinases on PNB appeared much faster than that of the other hydrolytic enzymes mentioned above. Furthermore, the current study proved that even when the cutinases were mixed with large amounts of other hydrolases (lipases or esterases), the Initial hydrolysis rate of PNB was determined only by the cutinase concentration for each PNB concentration. This property of cutinase activity would seem to result from a higher accessibility to the substrate PNB, compared with the other hydrolytic enzymes. Accordingly, these distinct properties of cutinases may be very useful in the rapid and easy isolation of various natural cutinases with different microbial sources, each of which may provide a novel industrial application with a specific enzymatic function.

전복 내장중에 지질단백질과 결합한 카로티노이드 색소를 추출하고, 확인하여 본 결과, 주성분은 lutein의 지방산 에스테르와 lutein임이 밝혀졌다. 에스테르를 이루고 있는 성분 지방산은 주로 lauric acid (68%)와 myristic acid (17%)였으며, 이것은 전복내의 triglyceride나 cholesterol ester의 성분 지방산과는 판이한 양상을 보여 주고 있다. 전복의 선택적 대사에 의한 간단한 카로티노이드의 양상은 전복내장의 카로티노이드를 아세톤으로 추출했을 때의 전 추출물이 보여주는, 아마도 먹이에서 유래된 다양한 카로티노이드 분포와는 대조적으로 lutein만 선택적으로 대사됨을 보여주고 있다.
