  • The present study was carried out to investigate the effects of season on semen characteristics, frozen-thawed sperm viability and testosterone concentration in Yorkshire boars. There were no significant differences in the semen volume and sperm concentration on Yorkshire boars among spring, summer, autumn and winter. However, the pH of sperm-rich and sperm-poor fractions in winter season was higher than in spring, summer and autumn season in Yorkshlre boars. Sperm motiliy and normal acrosome of raw semen in Yorkshire boars did not differ significantly among spring, summer, autumn and winter. However, motility and normal acrosome of frozen-thawed sperm were higher in spring season than in summer, autumn and winter. Serum testosterone concentrations in Yorkshire were higher in spring than summer, autumn and winter. In conclusion, we found out that serum testosterone concentrations were very important role for frozen-thawed sperm viability in Yorkshire boars.

  • Deposited road particles (DRPs) were analysed for heavy metal concentrations at four different roads in a city, Korea. The samples were collected using a roadway surface vacuum cleaning vehicle which was commonly used in collecting roadway surface particles. Six particle size ranges were analyzed separately for twelve heavy metal elements (Cd, Cr, Pb, Ni, Al, As, Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn and Hg). At all sampling sites, the high concentration of the heavy metals occurred in the <74um particle size range, which conventional roadway cleaning vehicles do not remove efficiently. The Pb concentration significantly increased with decreasing particle size of DRPs, and other toxic heavy metals (Cd, Cr and Ni) also showed similar results. The heavy metal concentrations in the smaller size fraction of DRPs is important because they are contaminants that are preferentially transported by road runoff during rainfall.

  • This paper presents a stable isotope chemistry of bone collagen and carbonate. Bone carbonate has the potential to provide additional isotopic information. However, it remains controversial as to whether archaeological bone carbonate retains its original biogenic signature. I used a novel application of bone density fractionation and checked the integrity of ${\delta}^{13}C_{apa}$ values using radiocarbon dating. Diagenesis in archaeological bone carbonate still remains to be resolved in extracting biogenic information. The combined use of bone density fractionation and differential dissolution method shows a large shift in the ${\delta}^{13}C_{apa}$ values. Although ${\delta}^{13}C_{apa}$ values are improved in lighter density fractions, a large percentage of contamination in bone carbonate was reported via $^{14}C$ dating compared to that noted with bone collagen.

  • The study investigated pre-service teachers' knowledge and computational skills by using Triangular Arithmagon. Participants included 90 pre-service teachers from two schools in the United States and Taiwan. The Triangular Arithmagons Test (TAT) was used to measure pre-service teachers' performance in whole number, fractions, and decimals operations (i.e., addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division), each of which included level-1 (basic) and level-2 (advanced) tests. MANOVA analysis was performed to compare the performance between teachers from the United States and Taiwan. Results indicated that overall, pre-service teachers in Taiwan outperformed those in the United States, especially on the advanced-level tests. Pre-service teachers in the United States were found to have poor ability of solving complex operation problems. Different curriculum plans and teaching methods may lead to the performance gap between the two countries.

  • 본 연구에서는 염생식물을 이용한 생리활성 소재 개발 연구의 일환으로 가는갯능쟁이의 용매 추출물 및 분획물을 제조하여 LPS로 염증을 유도한 마우스 유래 macrophages에서의 NO 생성 및 염증관련인자의 발현에 미치는 영향을 검토하여 가는갯능쟁이의 항염증 소재로서의 이용 가능성을 검토하였다. 가는갯능쟁이는 methylene chloride와 methanol을 이용하여 제조한 조추출물(crude extract, 48.3 mg)을 용매극성에 따라 단계적으로 분획하여 n-hexane 층(11.5 mg), 85% aqueous methanol 수용액층(85% aq. MeOH, 11.3 mg), n-butanol 층(n-BuOH, 11.2 mg)과 water 층(12.3 mg)을 얻었다. 가는갯능쟁이의 조추출물 및 분획물의 RAW264.7 대식세포에 대한 독성 여부를 측정하여 세포에 대한 독성이 나타나지 않는 처리 농도에서 추출물 및 분획물의 항염증 활성을 확인하였다. 조추출물은 LPS로 유도된 NO 생성을 유의적으로 억제하는 효과를 나타내었으며, 주요 염증 유발인자인 iNOS와 COX-2의 발현 또한 효과적으로 억제하였다. 분획물의 NO 생성 억제효과는 85% aq. MeOH> n-BuOH >n-hexane > $H_2O$의 순으로 나타났으며, 세포내 전사수준에서 염증관련 유전자의 발현 억제율은 $H_2O$ 분획 처리군에 비해 85% aq. MeOH, n-BuOH 및 n-hexane 분획 처리군에서 높게 나타났다. 이상의 결과로부터 항염증 활성이 가장 높게 나타난 85% aq. MeOH 분획층으로 부터 염증억제 효과가 있는 유효 성분의 분리가 기대된다.

  • 양파 껍질의 폐기는 생리활성 물질이 손실 될 수 있으므로 양파 껍질을 이용한 연구는 폐자원을 활용한다는 면에서 의미가 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 양파를 육질과 껍질로 나누어 이들의 총 플라보노이드 함량을 측정하였고 세포 내 활성산소종 제거 및 인체 암세포 증식 억제 효과에 대하여 비교 검토하였다. 양파 껍질은 육질과 비교했을 때 48배의 플라보이드 함량을 나타내어 양파 껍질에 플라보노이드 성분이 다량 함유되어 있음을 확인하였다. 양파 껍질의 A+M과 MeOH 추출물을 0.05 mg/ml의 농도로 HT-1080 세포에 처리하였을 때 지질 과산화물의 생성을 크게 억제시켰다. 이들 두 추출물들은 $500{\mu}M$ $H_2O_2$만을 처리한 control군과 비교하였을 때 측정 시간 120분 동안 계속적으로 높은 세포 내 지질 과산화물 생성 억제능력을 나타내었고 특히 양파 껍질에 의한 저해 효과가 양파 육질보다 높았다. 양파 육질과 껍질의 추출물로부터 얻어진 분획물들 중에서는 양파 껍질의 85% aq. MeOH 및 BuOH 분획물에 의한 저해효과가 우수하였고 양파 육질의 경우에는 85% aq. MeOH 분획물에 의한 항산화효과가 높았다. 암세포증식 억제 실험에서 양파 껍질의 A+M 추출물의 $IC_{50}$은 AGS 및 HT-29 세포에서 각각 0.07 및 0.05 mg/ml로 양파 육질보다 저해효과가 높았고 껍질 MeOH 추출물의 $IC_{50}$은 두 세포에서 각각 0.75 및 3.31 mg/ml로 AGS 세포에 대한 증식 억제효과가 우수하였음을 관찰 할 수가 있었다. 분획물들 중에서는 양파 육질 및 껍질의 85% aq. MeOH 분획물의 AGS 세포에 대한 $IC_{50}$이 각각 0.04 및 0.03 mg/ml로 가장 높은 활성을 나타내었고. 이들 분획물들도 HT-29 세포보다는 AGS 세포에 대한 증식 억제효과가 높았음을 살펴 볼 수가 있었다. 대체로 water 분획물에 의한 활성산소종 저해 및 암세포 증식 억제효과는 분획물들 중 가장 낮았다. 이상의 결과로부터 양파 부산물인 껍질에도 생리활성 물질이 함유되어 있는 것으로 판단되므로 이를 활용한 양파가공품 개발이 필요하다고 여겨진다.

  • The bone density fractionation method is a potential palaeodietary tool in tracing lifetime dietary changes as well as separating diagenetically altered fractions. This paper presents a workable bone density fractionation method that uses a devised mathematical model and the particle size distribution. Different grinding methods, i.e., a Spex $LN_2$ mill, a Disc mill and a Micronising mill, were used to reduce archaeological bone particles to an appropriate size range, which was then analyzed by a Laser particle sizer. It was found that density profiles are in good agreement with the diagenetic parameters, and with their stable isotope results.

  • 본 연구에서는 고포도당 조건에서 로젤의 산화방지 효과와 산화 손상에 대한 신경세포 보호효과를 검증하였다. 총 페놀 함량은 아세트산에틸 분획물(71.41 mg GAE/g)이 다른 분획물보다 높았으며, 이에 따라 아세트산에틸 분획물로 in vitro 산화방지 실험을 진행한 결과 상대적으로 우수한 ABTS 라디칼 소거활성과 지방질과산화물 생성 억제효과를 나타내었다. 신경세포에 고포도당으로 유발시킨 산화 스트레스에 대한 로젤 아세트산에틸 분획물은 산화 스트레스의 생성을 억제하고 신경세포 생존율을 향상 시켰다. 더불어 신경전달물질인 아세틸콜린 분해하는 아세틸콜린 에스터레이스의 억제효과를 보였으며, 마지막으로 HPLC 분석 결과 로젤 아세트산에틸 분획물에 존재하는 주요 페놀화합물은 클로로겐산인 것으로 판단되었다. 결국 클로로겐산을 함유하는 로젤 아세트산에틸 분획물은 우수한 산화방지 효과와 신경세포 보호효과 그리고 아세틸콜린 에스터레이스 억제 효과를 유도한 것으로 추정되며, 이를 통해 고포도당 상태에서 발생하는 당뇨성 퇴행성 신경질환과 같은 질병을 예방할 수 있는 고부가가치 소재로서의 활용가치가 있다고 판단된다.

  • The nutritive value and utilization of whole crop rice silage (WCRS), Hamasari, at yellow mature stage was determined by three studies. In first study, chemical composition, in vivo digestibility and metabolizable energy (ME) content of WCRS was determined by Holstein steers. WCRS contains 6.23% CP, its digestibility is 48.4% and estimated TDN is 56.4%. Its ME content was 1.91 Mcal/kg DM. Gross energy (GE) retention (% of GE intake) in steers is only 22.7% most of which was lost through feces (44.7% of GE intake). It takes 81 minutes to chew a kg of WCRS by steers. In another study, the effect of Hamasari at yellow mature stage at three stages of lactation (early, mid and late lactation) and two levels of concentrate (40 or 60%) on voluntary intake, ME content and ME intake, milk yield and composition using lactating Holstein dairy cows were investigated. Total intake increased with the concentrate level in early and mid lactation, but was similar irrespective of concentrate level in late lactation. WCRS intake was higher with 40% concentrate level than with 60% concentrate. ME intake by cows increased with the concentrate level and WCRS in early lactating cows with 40% concentrate can support only 90% of the ME requirement. Milk production in accordance with ME intake increased with the increase in concentrate level in early and mid lactating cows but was similar in late lactating cows irrespective of concentrate level. Fat and protein percent of milk in mid and late lactating cows were higher with for 60% concentrate than 40%, but reverse was in early lactating cows. Solids-not-fat was higher with for 60% concentrate than 40% concentrate. Finally in situ degradability of botanical fractions such as leaf, stem, head and whole WCRS, Hamasari at yellow mature stage was incubated from 0 to 96 h in Holstein steers to determine DM and N degradability characteristics of botanical fractions and whole WCRS. Both DM and N solubility, rate of degradation and effective degradability of leaf of silage was lower, but slowly degradable fraction was higher compared to stem and head. Solubility of DM and N of stem was higher than other fractions. The 48 h degradability, effective degradability and rate of degradation of leaf were always lower than stem or head. In conclusion, voluntary intake of silage ranged from 5 to 12 kg/d and was higher with low levels of concentrate, but milk yield was higher with high levels of concentrate. Fat corrected milk yield ranged from 19 to 37 kg per day. For consistency of milk, early lactating cows should not be allowed more than 40% whole crop rice silage in the diet, but late lactating cows may be allowed 60% whole crop rice silage.
