Genome/gene-editing (GE) techniques, characterized by a low technological barrier, high efficiency, and broad application among organisms, are now being employed not only in medical science but also in agriculture/veterinary science. Different engineered CRISPR/Cas9s have been identified to expand the application of this technology. In pig production, GE is a precise new breeding technology (NBT), and promising outcomes in improving economic traits, such as growth, lean or healthy meat production, animal welfare, and disease resistance, have already been documented and reviewed. These promising achievements in porcine gene editing, including the Myostatin gene knockout (KO) in indigenous breeds to improve lean meat production, the uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) gene knock-in to enhance piglet thermogenesis and survival under cold stress, the generation of GGTA1 and CMP-N-glycolylneuraminic acid hydroxylase (CMAH) gene double KO (dKO) pigs to produce healthy red meat, and the KO or deletion of exon 7 of the CD163 gene to confer resistance to porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus infection, are described in the present article. Other related approaches for such purposes are also discussed. The current trend of global regulations or legislation for GE organisms is that they are exempted from classification as genetically modified organisms (GMOs) if no exogenes are integrated into the genome, according to product-based and not process-based methods. Moreover, an updated case study in the EU showed that current GMO legislation is not fit for purpose in term of NBTs, which contribute to the objectives of the EU's Green Deal and biodiversity strategies and even meet the United Nations' sustainable development goals for a more resilient and sustainable agri-food system. The GE pigs generated via NBT will be exempted from classification as GMOs, and their global valorization and commercialization can be foreseen.

Objectives : Washing face is the first step in skin beauty and health. I wanted to study the cleansing effect by using Placenta cp (cold process) soap. The skin condition is greatly influenced by the external environment such as lifestyle, drinking, smoking, and stress etc. I tried to measure the skin change state without environmental factors. Methods : In order to examine the effect before and after washing face under the same conditions, the same water and towel were used in the same place. The skin test was performed before and 10 minutes after washing. As a control group, a case of washing with water and foam cleanser. I compared and analyzed three cases: water washing, F/C (foam cleanser) washing, and Placenta cp soap washing. Results : In the case of water washing, it was significantly reduced in pores and increased in facial temperature. In the case of F/C washing, the facial temperature was significantly increased, but the decrease in moisture. In the case of washing with Placenta cp soap, significant reductions in T-zone and U-zone oil content, reduction in pore size, and increase in facial skin temperature were observed. Conclusion : In the case of Placenta cp soap, it is thought to be suitable for oily skin type, because of significant decrease in T-zone and U-zone oil content. It is thought to have the effect of increasing blood circulation in the facial skin and to reduce pores for oily skin types.

Objective : Gardeniae Fructus (GF) is the ripe fruit of Gardenia jasminoides Ellisa with a bitter taste and cold properties. Ingredient compounds including geniposide are known to have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and neuroprotective effects. The purpose of this study was to investigate the neuroprotective effect of GF on tBHP-induced PC12 cells. Methods : Cell viability was measured by the MTT assay, and apoptosis was determined by the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay. The expression level of each protein was monitored by Western blot analysis, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) were analyzed using DCFH-DA. Results : In PC12 cells, tBHP induced cell death through apoptosis with caspase activation and PARP inactivation. Cells treated with tBHP showed an increase in intracellular ROS and depletion of GSH. Pretreatment with GF prevented tBHP-induced apoptosis, reduced ROS, and increased GSH. GF also maintained increased Nrf2 expression in the presence of tBHP. Phosphorylation of JNK and p38 MAPK was increased by tBHP, whereas phosphorylation of ERK was decreased. GF restored changes in ERK and p38 phosphorylation, but not JNK phosphorylation. Conclusion : These results indicate that GF has neuroprotective effects through anti-apoptotic and antioxidant effects mediated by regulation of Nrf2 expression and phosphorylation of ERK and p38. It also demonstrates the potential use of GF as a source of antioxidant and neuroprotective substances.

한국 동해안을 따라 북상하는 동한 난류가 울릉 분지내의 난수괴(Warm Core)에 직접적인 영향을 미치는지를 알아보기 위해서 그 경로의 시간적 변화를 조사해 보았다. 수산진흥원에서 13년간(1975-1987) 관측된 loom 수심의$10^{\circ}C$ 등온선 분포와 $2^{\circ}C$ 수심 분포도, 200m 수심의 수온 분포도를 사용해서 난수괴의 중심위치와 동한 난류의 북상 여부를 결정했다. 동시에 천기도에서 계산된 해상풍으로 동해 전반에 걸친 월 평균 wind stress curl값을 구하고 Sverdrup balance를 이용해 유선함수값을 구했다. 그 결과 동한 난류의 경로는 항상 일정하지 않고 시간에 따라 변하며 퐁한 난류가 동해 연안을 따라 북상하지 않는 기간에도 난수괴는 동한 난류와 무관하게 존재함을 알 수 있었다. 유선함수 분포를 통해 대마 난류의 분지 및 동한 난류의 북상에 미치는 해상풍의 영향을 알아본 결과 대마 난류의 세기가 약한 4월에 한달 전의 해상풍에 의한 해수의 이동으로 동한 난류의 북상이 저지될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 Sverdrup transport와 난수괴의 위치는 상관성이 별로 없었으나 여름철 수산진흥원 조사 해역중 $38^{\circ}N$를 통해 흐르는 남향류는 동해 북부 해역의 찬 해수가 극전선 남쪽의 영구수온약층 밑으로 내려오면서 난수괴의 열구조와 위치에 영향을 미칠 가능성을 말해준다.

Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the influence of outdoor weather conditions on subjective responses during physical activity. Background: The largest difference between indoor and outdoor conditions is the existence of the sun. The heat load from the sun has an influence on the heat gain of the human body and the intense degree of solar radiation affected thermal comfort. Method: Thirty eight people were exposed to a range of climatic conditions in the UK. Weather in England does not have extremely hot and cold temperature, and the current study was conducted under warm (summer and autumn) and cool (spring and summer) climates. Measurements of the climate included air temperature, radiant temperature (including solar load), humidity and wind around the subjects. Subjective responses were taken and physiological measurements included internal body temperature, heart rate and sweat loss. Results: This study was conducted under four kinds of environmental conditions and the environmental measurement was performed in September, December, March, and June. The values for sensation, comfort, preference, and pleasantness about four conditions were from 'neutral' to 'warm', from 'not uncomfortable' to 'slightly comfortable', from 'slightly cooler' to 'slightly warmer', and from 'neither pleasant nor unpleasant' and 'slightly unpleasant', respectively. All subjective responses showed differences depending on air temperature and wind speed, and had correlations with air temperature and wind speed (p<0.05). However, subjective responses showed no differences depending on the radiant temperature. The combined effects of environmental parameters were showed on some subjective responses. The combined effects of air temperature and radiant temperature on thermal sensation and pleasantness were significant. The combined effects of metabolic rate with air temperature, wind speed and solar radiation respectively have influences on some subjective responses. In the case of the relationships among subjective responses, thermal sensation had significant correlations with all subjective responses. The largest relationship was shown between preference and thermal sensation but acceptance showed the lowest relationship with the other subjective responses. Conclusion: The ranges of air temperature, radiant temperature, wind speed and solar radiation were $6.7^{\circ}C$ to $24.7^{\circ}C$, $17.9^{\circ}C$ to $56.6^{\circ}C$, $0.84ms^{-1}$ to $2.4ms^{-1}$, and $123Wm^{-2}$ to $876Wm^{-2}$ respectively. Each of air temperature and wind speed had significant relationships with subjective responses. The combined effects of environmental parameters on subjective responses were shown. Each radiant temperature and solar radiation did not show any relationships with subjective responses but the combinations of each radiant temperature and solar radiation with other environmental parameters had influences on subjective responses. The combinations of metabolic rate with air temperature, wind speed and solar radiation respectively have influences on subjective responses although metabolic rate alone hardly made influences on them. There were also significant relationships among subjective responses, and pleasantness generally showed relatively high relationships with comfort, preference, acceptance and satisfaction. Application: Subjective responses might be utilized to predict thermal stress of human and the application products reflecting human subjective responses might apply to the different fields such as fashion technology, wearable devices, and environmental design considering human's response etc.

Objectives : School refusal is usually considered as individual's behavioral problem. These days. however. the adolescents' school refusal needs some kind of medical approaches because it is related to mental disorder of the adolescents. Due to too much pressure and stress from the competition between classmates and from good performance in school. the number of adolescents who refuse to go to school is increasing. Despite this circumstance. school refusal is neither regarded as a single independent disorder nor endorsed as an officially classified disease. which makes difficult to conduct research on this issue and to establish standardized treatment for it. In addition. there is a lack of research on this topic. especially in oriental medicine. so there is no a case report or study on school refusal. This study is trying to comment on school refusal from the perspective of oriental medicine. Methods : We tried to examine the effect of oriental medicine treatment for school refusal with four adolescent cases. The patients commonly have at least more than one mental disorder (including depression disorder. anxiety disorder. and anorexia nervosa). have some problem with the relationship with their family. in particular with mother. do not have father or not be loved by their father. and have irregular eating habits. Thus. we diagnosed them as qi transforming into fire (氣鬱化矢) spleen-stomach deficiency cold (脾胃虛寒) and heart blood deficiency (心血虛) due to stress from the family issues and unhealthy eating habits. The patients received supportive therapy. family therapy. etc among many oriental mental treatments and their progress had been observed through hospitalization and outpatient treatment. Results : All four cases were reported positive progress on their symptoms and started coming back to school. We also examined whether they were well fitting into the school while they received outpatient treatment. and the results show that all four patients continue to settle down in normal school life. Conclusions : This study closely reviewed the mental disorder of school refusal cases and showed that the Oriental medical treatment was effective in helping the patients come back to school. More future research is required to better treatment for school refusal cases in oriental medicine.

지구온난화로 인해 온도 상승에 따른 고온 스트레스는 전세계 많은 지역에서 농업적으로 문제가 되어 세계 3대 곡물인 벼의 생산에 피해가 크게 나타나고 있다. 식물은 생장하면서 다양한 환경스트레스에 노출되며, 이러한 스트레스는 작물의 생장, 발달, 수확량 등에 영향을 미친다. 본 연구는 벼의 안정적인 생산성을 높이기 위해 벼 유래 OsOPT 유전자를 이용한 형질전환 후대에서 고온 조건하에서도 생육이 가능한 계통을 선발하여 그 특성을 살펴보았다. 먼저, OsOPT10 유전자 도입 형질전환 벼를 이용하여 고온 처리에 따른 저항성 계통을 선발하고, 선발된 계통의 생리적 특성을 분석하였으며, 분자적 특성을 qRT-PCR을 통해 유전자의 발현 양상을 분석하였다. 고온 스트레스에 의한 세포막 피해 정도를 알아보기 위해 전해질 누출(electrolyte leakage), 삼투조절제 역할을 하는 수용성 당 및 proline 함량 분석을 하여 대조구와 비교분석 하였다. 본 실험에서 고온 처리에 의한 가용성 당 함량의 변화는 OsOPT10-16 형질전환 벼를 제외하고 OsOPT10-1와 OsOPT10-7 계통이 WT 보다 당 함량이 높게 나타났다. 모품종 동진에 비해 형질전환 벼 계통의 EL 값이 낮게 나타난 것과 가용성 당 함량이 비슷하거나 높게 나타난 것으로 보아 OsOPT10 형질전환 벼가 고온 스트레스에서 저항성 반응을 나타낸 것으로 판단하였다.

옥수수전분과 찰옥수수전분을 사용하여 중간 수분계의 수분함량으로 반죽을 제조하고 수분함량과 가열온도, 가열시간에 따른 전분 반죽의 물성 변화와 호화양상을 밝혀보고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 먼저 전분반죽과 같은 반고체(semi-solid) 물질의 물성을 측정할 수 있는 Extrusion Capillary Viscometer(ECV)를 자체 제작하였다. ECV를 사용하여 수분함량 $36{\sim}52%$ 범위로 제조된 옥수수전분과 찰옥수수전분 반죽의 물성측정 시 반죽의 열전달 특성은 가열온도 $60{\sim}100^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 수분함량이 36%에서 52%로 증가할수록 반죽의 중심온도가 원하는 가열온도에 도달하는데 걸리는 시간이 220초에서 140초로 크게 단축되었다. 가열 후 ECV로 물성을 측정한 결과, 수분함량과 가열온도의 모든 범위에서 반죽은 의가소성 유체의 흐름 특성을 나타내었다. 동일한 전단속도에서는 반죽 수분함량이 증가할수록 전단응력과 전단점도가 전체적으로 감소하여 수분함량 증가에 따른 반죽의 유동성(flowability) 증가 영향이 매우 큰 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 44% 이상의 동일 수분함량 내에서는 $80^{\circ}C$ 이상의 가열온도부터는 동일한 전단속도에서 $80^{\circ}C$ 이하로 가열한 반죽에 비해 전단응력과 전단점도가 증가하는 경향을 보여 주었다. 반죽의 점도에 미치는 수분함량의 영향은 수분함량이 증가할수록 반죽의 유동성의 크기가 증가하여 전체적으로 전단응력이나 점도가 감소하는 것으로 나타나지만, 가열온도가 호화온도 이상인 $80^{\circ}C$부터는 전분호화에 의한 점도 증가에 의하여 수분함량에 따른 농도 의존성지수(B)값이 크게 감소하고 $60^{\circ}C$나 $70^{\circ}C$ 가열온도보다도 수분함량의 영향이 적게 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

신구 콘크리트 접합부에서는 굽힌 후 편 철근을 이용한 이음이 발생한다. 철근의 굽힘과 펴는 과정에는 필연적으로 소성 변형이 발생하며, 이 과정에서 가공 경화, 바우싱거 효과, 시효 경화 현상이 발생된다. 이 연구에서는 강종, 지름, 굽힘 내면 반지름, 굽힌 후 펴기까지의 존치기간을 변수로 굽힌 후 편 철근의 인장에 대한 기계적 성질을 조사하였다. 연구 결과, 굽힌 후 편 철근은 비례한계점이 낮아지는 비선형성이 직선 철근에 비해 일찍 발생되었으며, 항복마루 없이 바로 변형경화가 발생하였다. 이것은 굽힘 가공에서 압축을 받은 부분의 바우싱거 효과에 의해 항복점이 낮아졌고, 굽힘 가공에서 인장을 받은 부분의 가공 경화에 의해 항복마루가 없어졌기 때문이다. 높은 강종일수록 항복강도의 저하가 크게 발생되었으며, SD400 철근의 항복강도는 설계기준강도보다 낮았다. 철근은 표면부의 강도가 내부보다 높기 때문에, 높은 강종일수록 굽힌 후 펴면 바우싱거 효과가 크게 발생된다. 굽힌 후 펴기까지의 존치기간이 길면 시효 경화에 의해 항복강도의 상승과 연성의 저하가 발생되었다. Ramberg-Osgood 모델을 기본 형태로 실험 자료를 회귀분석하여 항복강도와 존치기간을 고려한 굽힌 후 편 철근의 응력-변형률 관계를 구성하였다. 이 모델은 굽힌 후 편 철근이 사용된 접합부의 강성 평가에 활용될 수 있다.
