  • Objective: Evaluate the effects of i) dehulling of lupine seed on chemical composition and apparent metabolizable energy (AME) and ii) soybean meal substitution by dehulled lupine seed in broiler diets with enzymes on productive performance, size of digestive organs and welfare-related variables. Methods: Experiment 1, chemical composition and AME were determined in whole and dehulled lupine seed. Experiment 2, two hundred eighty-eight one-day-old male Ross 308 broilers were used. The experimental diets were maize-soybean meal (MS), MS with enzymes (MSE) and maize-dehulled lupine seed with enzymes (MLE). Diets were assigned to the experimental units under a completely randomized design (eight replicates per diet). The body weight (BW) gain, feed intake, feed conversion, digestive organ weights, gait score, latency to lie down and valgus/varus angulation were evaluated. Results: The dehulling process increased protein (25.0% to 31.1%), AME (5.9 to 8.8 MJ/kg) and amino acid contents. The BW gain of broilers fed the MLE diet was similar (p>0.05) to that of those fed the MS diet, but lower than that of those fed the MSE diet. Feed intake of broilers fed the MLE diet was higher (p<0.05) than that of those fed the MS diet and similar (p>0.05) to those fed the MSE diet. Feed conversion of broilers fed the MLE diet was 8.0% and 8.7% higher (p<0.05) than that of those fed the MS and MSE diets, respectively. Broilers fed the MLE diet had the highest (p<0.05) relative proventriculus and gizzard weights, but had poor welfare-related variables. Conclusion: It is possible to substitute soybean meal by dehulled lupine seed with enzymes in broiler diets, obtaining similar BW gains in broilers fed the MLE and MS diets; however, a higher feed intake is required. Additionally, the MLE diet reduced welfare-related variables.

  • 갑상선의 기능적 발달 이전인 임신초기에 갑상선자극호르몬은 갑상선 장애 및 임신 동안 매우 민감한 지표이다. 임신동안 정상수준은 감소 변화를 보이는 것은 모체로부터 태아가 받는 갑상선호르몬의 영향이다. 갑상선자극호르몬과 유리 티록신의 농도는 임신동안 및 검사실간에 다양하게 보고된다. 갑상선자극호르몬의 참고치는 비임신군에 비하면 상한값과 하한값의 참고범위의 감소가 임신동안 보인다. 각 실험실은 임신 중에 다른 결과를 산출하는 호르몬 분석법과 일부 자체 기준에 맞는 혈중 농도를 산출한다. 따라서, 혈청 유리 티록신 분석에 사용되는 자동화 된 면역 분석법은 여전히 널리 사용되고 있지만 고려할 사항이 있다. 집단 기준, 삼분위 기간별 특이적 참고범위 사용은 문제해결의 최상의 방법이다. 임신 7~12주에 발생하는 호르몬의 하향은 7주 이전에는 보이지 않아 참고범위의 개별적 정량적으로 상승 및 하강을 보여준다. 본 연구에서는 집단별과 임신 특이적 갑상선 매개 변수의 참조범위에 대한 산출 중요성을 강조한다. 정밀의학 의 도래에 있어서 많은 개체의 유전적, 생물학적, 심리사회학적, 환경적 변수를 수집하고 분석이 필요하다. 이러한 논쟁을 해결하기 위해서는 다량의 전향적인 무작위 통제 연구가 필요하다.

  • Soybean seeds contain high amounts of isoflavones that display biological effects and isoflavone content of soybean seed can vary by year, environment, and genotype. Objective of this study was to identify quantitative trait loci that underlie isoflavone content in soybean seeds. The study involved 85 $F_2$ populations derived from Korean soybean cultivar 'Kwangkyo' and wild type soybean 'IT182305' for QTL analysis associated with isoflavone content. Isoflavone content of seeds was determined by HPLC. The genetic map of 33 linkage groups with 207 markers was constructed. The linkage map spanned 2,607.5 cM across all 33 linkage groups. The average linkage distance between pair of markers among all linkage groups was 12.6 cM in Kosambi map units. Isoflavone content in $F_2$ generations varied in a fashion that suggested a continuous, polygenic inheritance. Eleven markers (4 RAPD, 3 SSR, 4 AFLP) were significantly associated with isoflavone content. Only two markers, Satt419 and CTCGAG3 had F-tests that were significant at P<0.01 in $F_2$ generation for isoflavone content. Interval mapping using the $F_2$ data revealed only two putative QTLs for isoflavone content. The peak QTL region on linkage group 3, which was near OPAG03c, explained $14\%$ variation for isoflavone content. The peak QTL region on linkage group 5, which was located near OPN14 accounted for $35.3\%$ variation for isoflavone content. Using both Map-Maker-QTL $(LOD{\geq}2.0)$ and single-factor analysis $(P{\leq}0.05)$, one marker, CTCGAG3 in linkage group 3 was associated with QTLs for isoflavone content. This information would then be used in identification of QTLs for isoflavone content with precision

  • Avian influenza virus vaccines produced in oil-emulsified inactivated form with antigen content of at least 160 hemagglutinin units (HAU) induced immunity in birds. However, in addition to enhancing the effect of the adjuvant(s), other additional supplemented biological compounds included in inactivated vaccines could produce higher levels of antibody. We examined in chickens, Vietnamese ducks, and muscovy ducks the adjuvant effect of Sophy ${\beta}$-glucan (SBG), a ${\beta}$-1,3-1,6 glucan produced by the black yeast Aureobasidium pollulans strain AF0-202, when administered with an avian influenza H5 subtype vaccine. In Experiment 1, 40 chickens (ISA Brown hybrid), allocated to four groups of ten each, were immunized with Oil-H5N1(VN), Oil-H5N1(CN), Oil-H5N2(CN), and saline (control group), respectively. In Experiment 2, chickens (ISA Brown hybrid), muscovy ducks (French hybrid), and Vietnamese ducks (indigenous Vietnamese) were used to further assess the effect of SBG on immunogenicity of the Oil-H5N1(VN) Vietnamese vaccine. ELISA and hemagglutination inhibition (HI) assays were used to assess the antibody response. The H5 subtype vaccines initiated significantly higher immune responses in the animals dosed with SBG, with 1.0-1.5 $log_2$ higher HI titers and 10-20% ELISA seroconversion, compared with those not dosed with ${\beta}$-glucan. Notably, some of the animals dosed with SBG induced HI titers higher than 9.0 $log_2$ following boosting immunization. Taken together, our serial studies indicated that SBG is a potential effector, such as enhancing the immune response to the H5 vaccines tested.

  • This paper reports on a realtime OS based master-slave configuration robot control system for laparoscopic surgery robot which enables telesurgery and overcomes shortcomings with conventional laparoscopic surgery. Surgery robot system requires control system that can process large volume information such as medical image data and video signal from endoscope in real-time manner, as well as precisely control the robot with high reliability. To meet the complex requirements, the use of high-level real-time OS (Operating System) in surgery robot controller is a must, which is as common as in many of modem robot controllers that adopt real-time OS as a base system software on which specific functional modules are implemened for more reliable and stable system. The control system consists of joint controllers, host controllers, and user interface units. The robot features a compact slave robot with 5 DOF (Degree-Of-Freedom) expanding the workspace of each tool and increasing the number of tools operating simultaneously. Each master, slave and Gill (Graphical User Interface) host runs a dedicated RTOS (Real-time OS), RTLinux-Pro (FSMLabs Inc., U.S.A.) on which functional modules such as motion control, communication, video signal integration and etc, are implemented, and all the hosts are in a gigabit Ethernet network for inter-host communication. Each master and slave controller set has a dedicated CAN (Controller Area Network) channel for control and monitoring signal communication with the joint controllers. Total 4 pairs of the master/slave manipulators as current are controlled by one host controller. The system showed satisfactory performance in both position control precision and master-slave motion synchronization in both bench test and animal experiment, and is now under further development for better safety and control fidelity for clinically applicable prototype.

  • The purpose of this study was to define the content of requisite human structure and function knowledge needed for clinical knowledge of nursing practice. Subjects of human structure and function were divided into 10 units, and each unit was further divided into 21 subunits, resulting in a total of 90 items. Contents of knowledge of human structure and function were constructed from syllabus of basic nursing subjects in 4 college of nursing, and textbooks published by nurse scholars prepared with basic nursing sciences. The degree of need of 90 items was measured with a 4 point scale. The subjects of this study were college graduated 136 nurses from seven university hospitals in Seoul and three university hospitals located in Chonnam Province, Kyungbook Province, and Inchon. They have been working at internal medicine ward, surgical ward, intensive care unit, obstetrics and gynecology ward, pediatrics ward, opthalmology ward, ear, nose, and throat ward, emergency room, rehabilitation ward, cancer ward, hospice ward, and their working period was mostly under 5 years. The results were as follows: 1. The highest scored items of human structure and function knowledge necessary for nursing practice were electrolyte balance, blood clotting mechanism and anticoagulation mechanism, hematopoietic function, body fluid balance, function of plasma, and anatomical terminology in the order of importance. The lowest scored items of human structure and function knowledge necessary for nursing practice was sexual factors of genetic mutation. 2. The highest order of need according to unit was membrane transport in the living unit, anatomical terminology in movement and exercise unit, mechanism of hormone function in regulation and integration unit, component and function of blood in oxygenation function unit, structure and function of digestive system in digestive and energy metabolism unit, temperature regulation in temperature regulation unit electrolyte balance in body fluid and electrolyte unit, concept of immunity in body resistance unit, and genetics terminology in genetics unit. The highest order of importance according to subunit was membrane transportation in cell subunit, classification of tissues in tissue unit, function of skin and skin in skin subunit, anatomical derivatives of the skeleton subunit, classification of joints in joint subunit, an effect of exercise on muscles in muscle subunit, function of brain in nervous system subunit, special sense in sensory subunit mechanism of hormone function in endocrine subunit, structure and function of female reproductive system in reproductive system unit, structure and function of blood in blood unit, structure of heart, electrical and mechanical function in cardiovascular system unit, structure of respiratory system in respiratory system subunit, structure and function of digestive system in digestive system subunit, hormonal regulation of metabolism in nutrition and metabolism subunit, function of kidney in urologic system subunit, electolyte balance in body fluid, electolyte and acid-base balance subunit. 3. The common content of human structure and function knowledge need for all clinical areas in nursing was structure and function of blood, hematopoietic function, function of plasm, coagulation mechanism and anticoagulation mechanism, body fluid, electrolyte balance, and acid-base balance. However, the degree of need of each human structure and function knowledge was different depending on clinical areas. 4.

  • 본 연구는 우리나라 전통 발효식품인 장류, 김치류 및 젓갈류로부터 angiotensin converting enzyme 저해활성이 우수한 젖산균을 분리하고자 하였다. 젖산균을 분리하기 위한 선택배지로서 bromocresol purple (BCP) 한천배지를 사용하여 1차적으로 젖산균을 분리하였으며, 그 중 angiotensin converting enzyme 저해활성이 우수한 균주를 최종 선발하였다. 분리된 젖산균을 16S rRNA 유전자 염기서열 분석으로 동정한 결과 Lactobacillus brevis ATCC $14869^T$와 99.7%의 유사도를 나타냄에 따라 L. brevis HLJ59로 명명하였다. L. brevis HLJ59는 내산성의 경우 pH가 2.0, 3.0으로 보정된 DeMan Rogosa Sharpe 액체배지에서 접종 후 각각 90분, 30분이 경과하였을 때 배양초기와 비교 시 약 99% 감소하는 결과를 보였으나, 담즙산(Bile extract)의 경우 1% 첨가 시에도 생육에 저해를 받지 않는 것으로 조사되어 L. brevis HLJ59 균주는 담즙산에 대한 내성이 우수한 균주임을 확인하였다. 항생제 내성의 경우 20종의 항생제를 paper disc법으로 조사한 결과 본 균주는 cephalosporin계의 cefoxatin (30 ${\mu}g$), ceftnaxone (30 ${\mu}g$), penicillin계의 penicillin (10 units), quinolones계 cprofloxacin (5 ${\mu}g$), nalidixic acid (30 ${\mu}g$), lincosamid계의 lincomycin (2 ${\mu}g$) 및 기타 chloramphenicol (30 ${\mu}g$)에 대해서는 내성을 가지고 있음을 확인하였다.

  • Purpose: The aim of the present exploratory study was to evaluate extraction socket healing at sites with a history of periodontal and endodontic pathology. Methods: The mandibular 4th premolar teeth in 5 adult beagle dogs served as experimental units. Periodontal and endodontic lesions were induced in 1 premolar site in each animal using wire ligatures and pulpal exposure over 3 months (diseased sites). The contralateral premolar sites served as healthy controls. The mandibular 4th premolar teeth were then extracted with minimal trauma, followed by careful wound debridement. The animals were sacrificed at days 1, 7, 30, 60, and 90 post-extraction for analysis, and the healing patterns at the healthy and diseased extraction sites were compared using radiography, scanning electron microscopy, histology, and histometry. Results: During the first 7 days of healing, a significant presence of inflammatory granulation tissue was noted at the diseased sites (day 1), along with a slightly accelerated rate of fibrin clot resolution on day 7. On day 30, the diseased extraction sites showed a greater percentage of persistent fibrous connective tissue, and an absence of bone marrow formation. In contrast, healthy sites showed initial signs of bone marrow formation on day 30, and subsequently a significantly greater proportion of mature bone marrow formation on both days 60 and 90. Radiographs exhibited sclerotic changes adjoining apical endodontic lesions, with scanning electron microscopy showing collapsed Volkmann canals protruding from these regions in the diseased sites. Furthermore, periodontal ligament fibers exhibited a parallel orientation to the alveolar walls of the diseased sites, in contrast to a perpendicular arrangement in the healthy sites. Conclusions: Within the limitations of this study, it appears that a history of periodontal and endodontic pathology may critically affect bone formation and maturation, leading to delayed and compromised extraction socket healing.

  • 순환 여과식 양식에 있어서 사육수에 축적되는 암모니아를 여과 재료별로 그 제거 능력을 알아보고, 실제 산업에의 적용에 관한 문제를 검토하였다.. 여과 재료는 첨모직(pile cloth), 스카이 라이트 골판(corrugated skylight roofing plate), 요철 플라스틱판(embossed plastic plate), 및 자갈의 4종류를 사용, $90cm\times60cm\times60cm$(깊이)의 수조에 각각 2개씩 같은 재료를 넣어서 모두 8개를 설치하였다. 주입수는 부산수산대학 순환여과식 양식 시설의 어류사육 탱크에서 나오는 물을 사용하여 그 속에 함유된 암모니아 제거능력을 측정하였다. 정상적 기능을 발휘하는 두 기간의 여과 재료별 1일 $1m^3$의 여과제 설치 용적당 평균 암모니아 제거 능력은 다음과 같았다. 1) 첨모직 8.381g 2) 2) 스카이 라이트 골판 7.834g 3) 요철 플라스틱판 7.797g 4) 자갈 7.051 g 이와 같이 주기능 발휘 기간동안에는 재료별 차이가 별로 없었지만 그 기간의 길이 차이, 청소의 난이도, 설치 비용 등을 고려해야 한다. 특히 대형 여과조의 경우, 자갈 여과조를 청소하는 일은 대단히 어렵고, 첨모직 여과조는 그 설치 작업이 까다롭고, 배수시 그 구조를 유지하는 데 어려운 문제가 따른다. 이러한 관점에서 볼 때 스카이 라이트 곡판과 요철 플라스틱판이 가장 적당하다고 생각된다. 그러나, 실제 설치시는 재료의 입수 가능성, 가격은 물론, 사용중 또는 계획중의 여과 탱크에의 적합 여부도 고려되어야 한다.
