Purpose: Neonicotinoid insecticides are widely used as they have been proven by experimental studies to have low toxicity to mammals, including humans. As the use of neonicotioids increases, the number of patients with neonicotinoid poisoning has also increased. We conducted a study to investigate the clinical manifestations of neonicotinid poisoning. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the patients who ingested neonicotinids and who visited the emergency department located in Korea from March 2002 to February 2010. We reviewed the patients' age, gender, the amount of exposure, the elapsed time to presentation, the treatment and the outcome. According to the poisoning severity score, we divided the patients with a Poisoning severity score (PSS) of 0 or 1 into the mild/moderate toxicity group and the patients with a PSS of 2 or 3 into the severe/fatal toxicity group. Results: A total of 24 patients were analyzed. The most common clinical manifestations of neonicotinoid insecticide toxicity were gastrointestinal symptoms (66.7%) such as nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain and the others are respiratory symptoms (16.7%), cardiovascular symptoms (12.5%), metabolic imbalance (12.5%), renal dysfunction (8.3%), CNS symptoms (8.3%), and asymptomatic (29.2%). Twenty patients (83.3%) showed mild/moderate toxicity and 4 patients (16.7%) showed fatal conditions such as shock and mutiorgan failure. The mortality rate was 4.2%. In these fatal cases, the patients developed respiratory failure, hypotension, altered mentality and renal failure at the acute stage and they deteriorated to a more serious condition. This severe toxicity was caused by decreased renal excretion of neonicotinid metabolite, and this was improved after hemodialysis. Conclusion: Most patients with neonicotinoid poisoning and who showed mild toxicity usually improved after symptomatic treatment. However, some patients showed significant toxicity with respiratory failure and renal function deterioration, and intensive care needed, including mechanical ventilation and hemodialysis.

This study was performed to investigate the effect of lactose in 4 different concentrations against the protective effect of calcium on the acute lead poisoning in rats after 4 weeks treatment. In this animal experiment, 70 albino male weanling rats (50-70g of body weight) of Sprague-Dawley strain were used. Lead was dissolved in the distilled water and intubated at the dose of 400mg lead (as acetate)/ kg of body weight/day. Calcium and lactose were administered in drinking water ad libiturn dissolved with the solution of 0.7% calcium gluconate mixed with 40, 80, 160 and 320mM lacotse respectively. The results obtained were summarized as follows: 1. The rate of body weight gain in all treated groups turned out to be lower than that in the control group during 4 weeks treatment. The slow-down of body weight gain was the most significantly observed in the group treated with lead only ( p < 0.05). 2. The relative spleen weight in lead only treated group was significantly lower than that of lead + calcium, lead + calcium + 80mM lactose treated group ( p < 0.05). 3. The value of RBC, WBC, Hb and Hct showed a decreasing tendency in the group treated with lead only ( p < 0.05), however, a significant decrease was not observed in the group treated with lead + calcium. On the other hand, the protective effect of calcium was deteriorated in the group treated with lead + calcium + lactose. 4. The activity of $\delta$-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase ($\delta$-ALAD activity) showed the same tendency as No. 2. 5. The lead concentration in the blood (PbB) showed an increasing tendency and the interrelation among the different groups was also identical with No. 2. 6. With a statistical approach, it was found out that the activity of $\delta$-ALAD and the lead concentration in the blood show a relation of inverse proportion(r=-0.7301). The diagram was interpreted with the logarithmic equation InY = 5.5357-0.0251X (X:PbB, Y:$\delta$-ALAD activity). 7. In the histopathological findings of the kidney, the protective effect of calcium was observed. However, the protective effect of calcium was restricted in the group treated with lead + calcium + lactose. As a conclusion, the intensity of the acute ingested lead poisoning was obviously reduced by calcium, however, the protective effect of calcium was deteriorated in proportion with the concentration of the lactose to be administered. On the other hand, it was also noted that the deterioration was lightly restrained in the group treated with the physiological concentration of 80mM lactose than the results shown in the groups treated with lactose of other concentrations.

1,225 healthy day-old avian broiler chicks were used to investigate the effects of activated charcoal (AC, made from willow tree), hydrated sodium calcium aluminosilicates (HSCAS) and esterified glucomannan (EGM) supplementation on broiler performance, blood profiles and meat characteristics when less moldy or moldy corn was included to formulate seven isocaloric and isonitrogenous diets: Positive Control (less moldy corn diet, PC), PC+2% AC, Negative Control (moldy corn, NC), NC+0.05% EGM, NC+0.1% EGM, NC+0.5% HSCAS and NC+1% AC. PC+2% AC resulted in lower growth rate, poorer feed conversion ratio (FCR), more leg problems and higher mortality of birds than those fed PC diet (p<0.05). Inclusion of 0.05% EGM, 0.1% EGM, 0.5% HSCAS and 1% AC in NC diet did not improve average daily weight gain (ADG) or affect feed intake of birds during the first or the second three-week periods. However, 0.05% EGM tended to (p>0.05) and 0.1% EGM significantly (p<0.05) improved FCR during the first three-week period. Breast meat of NC birds had higher Minolta $L^*$ values (white) but lower $a^*$ (reddish) and $b^*$ (yellowish) values (p<0.01) than the PC birds. Addition of 0.05% EGM and 0.1% EGM in NC diet reduced the $L^*$ values (p<0.05), improved $a^*$ and $b^*$ values (p<0.05) of breast meat of birds fed NC diet, but had no effect on meat color when 0.5% HSCAS or 1% AC was included (p>0.05). Relative weight of liver to body was reduced by feeding NC diet (p<0.05) and could not be normalized by different mycotoxin adsorbents (p>0.05) to the ratio of the PC birds. Relative weight of cholecyst of NC birds was increased compared with PC birds and could only be normalized by addition of 0.05% EGM and 1% AC (p<0.05) in NC diet. NC birds had lower serum albumin level than the PC birds (p<0.05) and addition of 0.05% EGM or 1% AC in NC diet did normalize serum albumin level. Addition of 0.5% HSCAS in NC diet further reduced serum albumin, globulin, total protein and uric acid levels (p<0.05). It was concluded that lower FCR during the first three-week period of growth and deterioration of meat quality observed in bird fed moldy corn with moderate T2 and fuminisin contamination and damaged nutrients and pigment availability, might be improved by dietary supplementation of 0.05% to 0.1% EGM, but not by 1% AC or 0.5% HSCAS supplementation.

The objective of this study was to find the way to prolong the storage time of sawdust-based oyster mushroom (Pleurotus osteratus) spent substrate (OMSS) by fermenting with potential probiotic microorganisms to recycle the otherwise waste of mushroom farms. To this purpose, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were screened to select the best lactic acid-producing strains. Three strains of LAB (Lactobacillus plantarum Lp1', Pediococcus acidilacticii Pa193, L. plantarum Lp2M) were selected and in mixture they lowered the pH of the fermented OMSS to 3.81. fOMSS (fermented sawdust-based oyster mushroom spent substrate) could be stored at room temperature for at least 17 days without any deterioration of feed quality based on the pH, smell, and color. In dry matter disappearance rate in situ, commercial TMR (total mixed ration), OMSS and OMMM (oyster mushroom mycelium mass) showed no significant differences between the samples after 6, 12 and 24 h incubation except for 48 h. Two separate field studies were performed to test the effects of fOMSS supplement on the growth performance of postweaning Holstein calves. Field trials included groups of animals feeding calf starter supplemented with: Control (no supplement), AB (colistin 0.08% and oxyneo 110/110 0.1%), fOMSS (10% fOMSS) and fConc (10% fermented concentrate) and DFM (direct-fed microbials, average $10^9$ cfu for each of three LAB/d/head). Growth performance (average daily gain and feed efficiency) of the fOMSS supplement group was higher than that of AB followed by fConc and DFM even though there was no statistically significant difference. The Control group was lower than any other group. Various hematological values including IgG, IgA, RBC (red blood cell), hemoglobin, and hematocrit were measured every 10 days to check any unusual abnormality for all groups in trial I and II, and they were within a normal and safe range. Our results suggest that sawdust-based OMSS could be recycled after fermentation with three probiotic LAB strains as a feed supplement for post-weaning calves, and fOMSS has the beneficial effects of an alternative to antibiotics for a growth enhancer in dairy calves.

회백색 응회암으로 구성된 경주 골굴암 마애불의 효과적인 보존처리를 위하여 구성암석의 특징과 보존처리제 적용에 따른 효과를 살펴보았다. 구성암석은 팽윤성 광물인 몬모릴로나이트를 3-5% 함유하고 있으며, 물과 반응 후 팽윤성 광물의 층간간격이 증가함을 보였다(1.54-2.69%). 에틸실리케이트 암석강화제를 적용한 후 시편의 표면 경도, 흡수율, 공극률 등의 물성은 향상되었으나 팽윤성 광물의 층간간격이 감소하였으며(4.23-12.12%), 팽윤성 광물의 함량이 많을수록 그 정도는 컸다. 팽윤저지제를 선 처리한 후 강화제를 적용하였을 때 물성은 강화제만을 처리하였을 때와 거의 유사한 결과를 보였다. 팽윤저지제만의 처리로는 팽윤성 광물의 층간간격이 거의 변화되지 않았으며, 팽윤저지제 처리 후 강화제를 처리하였을 때는 XRD 패턴에서 팽윤성 광물의 세기는 줄어들었으나 층간간격의 변화는 강화제만을 처리하였을 때와 유사하여 팽윤저지제의 효과는 거의 없었다(4.10-11.85%). 따라서 팽윤성 광물을 함유하고 있는 골굴암 마애불 구성암석을 강화시키기 위한 보존처리제로서 에틸실리케이트 계열의 암석강화제는 적절치 않으며 이를 보완하기 위해 사용한 팽윤저지제도 효과적이지 못하다. 우수의 접촉으로 구성광물이 팽윤되어 풍화가 급속히 진행되기 때문에 현재로서는 하부와 측면 등 풍화가 심한 부분에 우수접촉을 저지시키는 조치가 필요하다.

이 논문에서는 신생아와 노인 유래의 섬유아세포들의 노화의 특징들을 비교하여 사람의 나이와 세포의 수명 및 세포 형질의 관계에 대해 연구하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 비록 한가지의 노인세포에 대해 얻어진 것이기는 하지만 다음과 같은 세 가지 중요한 가능성을 제시한다. 첫째로, 노인에서 유래한 섬유아세포의 증식속도가 신생아 유래의 세포에 비해서 느릴 가능성이 있다. 이러한 결과는 실제로 노인 신체에 존재하는 세포가 신생아에 존재하는 세포에 비해 낮은 속도로 증식할 가능성을 시사하는 것으로서, 노인에서 관찰되는 조직실질의 감소 원인을 설명하는 자료가 될 수 있겠다. 둘째로, 노인 유래 섬유아세포의 early passage 세포가 신생아 유래의 세포의 early passage 세포와 동일하게 낮은 수준의 SA ${\beta}-Gal$ 활성, autofluorescence, lysosome 함량, 그리고 활성산소 수준을 갖고 있었다. 이 점은, early passage 때의 세포가 보이는 형질이 신체에 존재하는 세포의 상황과 크게 다르지 않다고 가정할 때, 노인 신체의 조직에 존재하는 세포들이 신생아의 세포와 유사한 상태로 존재할 가능성을 시사하는 것이다. 즉, 노인 신체에서는 in vitro 노화세포에서 나타나는 수준의 세포노화가 일어나 있지 않다는 것이다. 셋째, 노인세포가 노화했을 때는 신생아세포의 경우와 거의 동일한 수준의 활성산소, lysosome, SA ${\beta}-Gal$ activity 증가를 보이고 있었는데, 이는 노인 유래의 세포가 in vitro 배양 시 신생아 유래의 세포보다 더 심하거나 또는 빠른 산화적 손상이나 세포학적 변화를 겪지는 않는다는 것을 보여주는 것으로서, 세포가 보유한 항산화적 기능이 노인이 되면서 크게 약화되지는 않음을 시사하고 있다. 결론적으로 노인 유래의 세포는 세포증식 속도를 제외하면 대체로 신생아 때의 상태와 동일한 세포 내 상태를 갖고 있다고 결론 내릴 수 있겠다.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of partially substituting meat meal for fish meal on the growth and body composition of juvenile olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus during the winter season. Twenty-five fish (initial body weight, 23 g) were distributed into twelve 250 L flow-through tanks. Four experimental diets were prepared in triplicate: the control, MM20, MM40, and MM60 diets. Sixty percent mackerel meal was used as the primary protein source in the control diet. Meat meal was substituted for 20, 40, and 60$\%$ of the mackerel meal in the MM20, MM40, and MM60 diets, respectively. Survival was not significantly affected by the experimental diets. However, the weight gain and specific growth rate of fish fed the control, MM20, and MM40 diets were significantly higher than those of fish fed the MM60 diet (P<0.05). The feed efficiency ratio of fish fed the control, MM20, and MM40 diets was significantly higher than that of fish fed the MM60 diet (P<0.05). The protein efficiency ratio for fish fed the control diet was significantly higher than that for fish fed the MM40 and MM60 diets (P$\%$ substitution of meat meal for fish meal in the diet could be implemented without a reduction in growth or deterioration of the feed efficiency of juvenile olive flounder during the winter season.

본 연구에서 우리는 공급자(supplier), 중간유통자(distributor) 그리고 최종 고객(customer)으로 구성되는 2 단계 공급망에서 중간유통자 입장의 재고 모형을 분석하였다. 공급자는 고객의 수요 증대를 목적으로 판매 제품에 대한 대금을 일정한 기간 동안 신용 거래를 허용하고, 중간유통자의 주문비용은 고정비 성격의 주문 비용과 운송량(주문량)에 따라 종속적으로 운송비용이 발생하는 상황을 고려하였다. 일반적으로 중간유통자 입장에서 볼 때 신용 거래를 통하여 공급자로부터 제품 대금에 대한 지불이 유예되면, 재고에 대한 투자 비용이 절감되는 효과가 발생하게 된다. 최종 고객의 수요는 중간유통자의 판매 가격에 따라 영향을 받게 되므로 중간유통자는 최종 고객의 수요를 증대 시킬 목적으로 판매 가격의 조정이 가능하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 공급자가 중간유통자에게 제품 판매 대금에 대하여 일정한 기간 동안 신용 거래를 허용하는 상황 하에서 중간유통자의 주문 비용이 고정 주문 비용과 함께 주문량에 따라 종속적으로 발생하는 운송비용을 포함한다는 가정 하에 중간유통자 측면의 경제적 주문량과 판매 가격 결정 문제를 분석하였다. 또한 문제 분석을 위하여 중간유통자의 재고는 시간이 지나감에 따라 일정한 비율로 퇴화한다는 가정 하에 중간유통자의 연간 총 이익에 대한 수리 모형을 수립하였고, 총이익을 최대화하는 경제적 주문량과 판매 가격 결정을 위한 해법을 개발하였다.
