To supply basic data for systemic nutrition education, perception of nutrition education and nutrition knowledge was investigated in elementary school students (4~6th grade) in Chungnam province. Forty-six percent of students had a normal level of interest in nutrition, and 43.8% of students had a normal level of nutrition knowledge. Male students (56.1%) and female students (43.7%) wanted nutrition education via lectures in class (p<0.001), with a significant difference based on gender. In addition, most students wanted 'cooking' as nutrition education content, with a significant difference based on gender (p<0.001). Approximately 59% of students (boys 53.7% and girls 64.6%) responded that the reason not to practice the contents of nutrition education is 'not interested' (male 44%, female 34.1%) (p<0.05). For necessity of nutrition education, 38.1% of subjects answered 'normal', and 42.8% of students responded that nutrition education is not helpful since there is no interest. On the contrary, necessity of nutrition education was recognized by 30.8% of male students and 30.8% of female students for prevention of obesity and health life with a balanced diet, respectively. Students (66%) wanted a nutrition teacher, and 33.2% of male students wanted nutrition education once a month, whereas 34.5% of female students wanted it once a week (p<0.01). And 54.8% of students responded that current frequency of nutrition education is adequate. The average score of nutrition knowledge for female students was higher than that of male students, and a higher grade received a higher score of nutrition knowledge. The level of nutrition knowledge was not relevant to the actual score of the individual. Based on this result, it is necessary to activate and expand nutrition education in elementary schools to emphasize the importance of nutrition education. Additionally, future nutrition education should be more available to practice in life as well as improvement of nutrition knowledge. Investigation into nutrition knowledge according to gender and grade is necessary for continuous and systemic nutrition education.

게나 새우 갑각류의 껍질로부터 추출되는 키토산은 천연고분자로서 다양한 응용분야로 폐수처리용 응집제와 중금속흡착제, 기능성 식품 및 식품첨가제, 토양개량 및 생육촉진제, 생체재료분야의 의약 및 의료용, 섬유, 화장품, 제지 등 수많은 분야에서 연구 및 상용화가 진행되고 있다. 키토산 제조의 원료인 붉은 대게 어획량이 급격히 감소하여 원료의 부족 현상을 겪고 있어, 키토산 제조에 대체 원료의 발굴이 시급히 요구되고 있는 시점에 이르고 있다. 새우와 곤충류의 껍질을 활용하기 위하여는 새우 껍질은 동남아시아 등에서 수입, 곤충류의 껍질은 국내 사육 농가의 증가로 충분한 양의 확보가 예상되어 키토산 제조의 원료로 대체하는 방법도 고려해 볼 수 있을 것이다. 키토산은 생산단계에서 강산과 강염기를 사용해서 화학반응을 시키므로 해서 많은 양의 폐수가 발생하여 환경오염은 물론 폐수처리 비용이 키토산의 원가에 큰 비중을 차지하고 있어, 키토산의 제조방법의 혁신적인 개선되지 않고서는 키토산 산업의 발전에 영향을 미칠 것으로 생각되며, 화학적 추출방법이 아닌 생물학적 추출방법(효소적 추출, 미생물 발효)에 대한 꾸준한 연구와 기술개발로 화학적 추출방법 못지 안는 생산효율을 높이고 단가를 낮출 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. 고순도 키토산의 생산과 분자량을 조절, 분리할 수 있는 기술, 고기능성 키토산 유도체의 연구개발을 위한 산·학·연의 공동연구가 절실히 요구되며 관련 기업들의 성장을 위한 제품의 혁신과 역량확대가 필연적인 과제라 할 수 있다.

When we think of fundamental problems of the aquaculture industry, there are several strict conditions, and consequently the aquaculture industry is forced to change. Fish aquaculture has a structural supply surplus in production, aggravation of fishing grounds, stagnant low price due to recent recession, and drastic change of distribution circumstances. It is requested for us to initiate discussion on such issue as “how fish aquaculture establishes its status in the coastal fishery\ulcorner, will fish aquaculture grow in the future\ulcorner, and if so “how it will be restructured\ulcorner” The above issues can be observed in the mariculture of yellow tail, sea scallop and eel. But there have not been studied concerning seabream even though the production is over 30% of the total production of fish aquaculture in resent and it occupied an important status in the fish aquaculture. The objectives of this study is to forecast the future movement of sea bream aquaculture. The first goal of the study is to contribute to managerial and economic studies on the aquaculture industry. The second goal is to identify the factors influencing the competition between production areas and to identify the mechanisms involved. This study will examine the competitive power in individual producing area, its behavior, and its compulsory factors based on case study. Producing areas will be categorized according to following parameters : distance to market and availability of transportation, natural environment, the time of formation of producing areas (leaderㆍfollower), major production items, scale of business and producing areas, degree of organization in production and sales. As a factor in shaping the production area of sea bream aquaculture, natural conditions especially the water temperature is very important. Sea bream shows more active feeding and faster growth in areas located where the water temperature does not go below 13∼14$^{\circ}C$ during the winter. Also fish aquaculture is constrained by the transporting distance. Aquacultured yellowtail is a mass-produced and a mass-distributed item. It is sold a unit of cage and transported by ship. On the other hand, sea bream is sold in small amount in markets and transported by truck; so, the transportation cost is higher than yellow tail. Aquacultured sea bream has different product characteristics due to transport distance. We need to study live fish and fresh fish markets separately. Live fish was the original product form of aquacultured sea bream. Transportation of live fish has more constraints than the transportation of fresh fish. Death rate and distance are highly correlated. In addition, loading capacity of live fish is less than fresh fish. In the case of a 10 ton truck, live fish can only be loaded up to 1.5 tons. But, fresh fish which can be placed in a box can be loaded up to 5 to 6 tons. Because of this characteristics, live fish requires closer location to consumption area than fresh fish. In the consumption markets, the size of fresh fish is mainly 0.8 to 2kg.Live fish usually goes through auction, and quality is graded. Main purchaser comes from many small-sized restaurants, so a relatively small farmer and distributer can sell it. Aquacultured sea bream has been transacted as a fresh fish in GMS ,since 1993 when the price plummeted. Economies of scale works in case of fresh fish. The characteristics of fresh fish is as follows : As a large scale demander, General Merchandise Stores are the main purchasers of sea bream and the size of the fish is around 1.3kg. It mainly goes through negotiation. Aquacultured sea bream has been established as a representative food in General Merchandise Stores. GMS require stable and mass supply, consistent size, and low price. And Distribution of fresh fish is undertook by the large scale distributers, which can satisfy requirements of GMS. The market share in Tokyo Central Wholesale Market shows Mie Pref. is dominating in live fish. And Ehime Pref. is dominating in fresh fish. Ehime Pref. showed remarkable growth in 1990s. At present, the dealings of live fish is decreasing. However, the dealings of fresh fish is increasing in Tokyo Central Wholesale Market. The price of live fish is decreasing more than one of fresh fish. Even though Ehime Pref. has an ideal natural environment for sea bream aquaculture, its entry into sea bream aquaculture was late, because it was located at a further distance to consumers than the competing producing areas. However, Ehime Pref. became the number one producing areas through the sales of fresh fish in the 1990s. The production volume is almost 3 times the production volume of Mie Pref. which is the number two production area. More conversion from yellow tail aquaculture to sea bream aquaculture is taking place in Ehime Pref., because Kagosima Pref. has a better natural environment for yellow tail aquaculture. Transportation is worse than Mie Pref., but this region as a far-flung producing area makes up by increasing the business scale. Ehime Pref. increases the market share for fresh fish by creating demand from GMS. Ehime Pref. has developed market strategies such as a quick return at a small profit, a stable and mass supply and standardization in size. Ehime Pref. increases the market power by the capital of a large scale commission agent. Secondly Mie Pref. is close to markets and composed of small scale farmers. Mie Pref. switched to sea bream aquaculture early, because of the price decrease in aquacultured yellou tail and natural environmental problems. Mie Pref. had not changed until 1993 when the price of the sea bream plummeted. Because it had better natural environment and transportation. Mie Pref. has a suitable water temperature range required for sea bream aquaculture. However, the price of live sea bream continued to decline due to excessive production and economic recession. As a consequence, small scale farmers are faced with a market price below the average production cost in 1993. In such kind of situation, the small-sized and inefficient manager in Mie Pref. was obliged to withdraw from sea bream aquaculture. Kumamoto Pref. is located further from market sites and has an unsuitable nature environmental condition required for sea bream aquaculture. Although Kumamoto Pref. is trying to convert to the puffer fish aquaculture which requires different rearing techniques, aquaculture technique for puffer fish is not established yet.

This research has incorporated a postal survey from the principals, nurse-charging teachers and nurse-teachers of the fiftyfive elementary, middle and high school in Yang-pyeong county area where its supplementary rate of nurse-teachers is less than adequate. It is to analyse the current status of the school health service in the area and to come out with a plan to improve the school health program through the participations of the health related experts of the local community. The survey was done in the two months of period of April to May of 1994. The result of the survey follows. The student population in the Yang-pyeong county area is 13,998 and the school employee population is 904 which counts for about 19.2% of the whole population of the area. However, the supplementary rate of nurse-teachers is only 10.8% (4 in 55 schools) which is very low in terms of relativity. School health committee only exist in 17% of the whole number of schools in the area and 50 of school health committee answered that their activity do not meet the adequate level. Only 54. 3% of the whole school numbers has included the school health finance in their financial plans and the amount set for the school health finance is about 500,000 wons (100,000-1,600,000 wons). 64.9% of the schools in the Yang-pyeong county area have the permanent nursing room established in the school. But, often than the equipment for a simple physical examinations, their supply of the health related equipments are less than adequate. Particitations of school doctor in the school health service is at only 67.6% which pretty much include only the physical examinations. Nurse-charging teachers consider their utmost important role is to teach health education but, they answered that they spent most of their times and efforts on physical examinations & immunizations. The average number of students visition to the nursing room is 2.5 persons and complains for basic discomfort as headache, concussion, stomachache and indigestion problems and usual pills used are the analgesics and digestives. Physical examination is done in the most schools every year but, 51.4% of nurse-charging teachers answered the physical examination does not really help. About the emergency treatment ability, 75.7% reports that both manpower & equipment are short. The school food services are present in only 8 schools (21.6%) but, 89.2% of nurse-charging teachers answer that there is a definite need of the food service. The survey says that the utmost important environmental health and safety factors are the traffic accidents followed by improper heat system, lighting, the stools and desks that do not consider the student physical status The overall evaluation of school health program reports that there are adequate physical examination, immunization, environmental hygiene, and management of safety but, on the other hand, health education, health councelling & management of nursing room are not managed properly. The principals of the survey pool report shortage of public agency support, lack of understanding of school health, shortage of nursing equipments and school health finance as the barrier factors of school health. The nurse-charging teachers report on the same questions as their less than qualitifying expertise, extraload of work upon the nursing affairs, shortage of nursing equipments & school health finance. The head masters & nurse-charging teachers answered that they are desperate for the meetings of nurse-charging teachers, construction of school health councelling system & training education in order to improve school health and if these are available, they will actively participate in them. After the careful analysis of the survey result, it is apparent that through the relations of the manpowers, establishment of community-oriented school health is definitely in need in rural area where there is low supplementary rate of nurse-teachers and poor school health environment.

The basic problem of the broiler industry is that of fluctuating prices, mainly thanks to unstable supply of and inelastic demand for products as usually indicated as a peculiarity of agricultural commodities. This particularly brings the producer to a great economic risk, because he has to sell products under the condition of pure competition, whereas others from whom he has to buy deal under the condition of oligopoly or even monopoly. Therefore, producers economic position is generally placed in the worst comparing others dealing with, which results in unbalanced economic status of elements involved in broiler operation and further obstruction of industry development as a whole. A certain type of business coordination to overcome such a problem should be measured in order to improve the efficiency of entire operation and thus assure the balanced industry development. The concept of the economic integration developed in modern business system had been adapted to U.S. poultry industry which became common later around the world as a means of stabilizing producers price and whole industry as well. There are two main typos of integration; horizontal and vertical The former refers to the general grouping of similar business units, eg. a hatchery tying with other hatchery, while the latter refers to the knitting together of two or more stages of economic activities, eg. tying together among units of hatching, fled milling, production, processing and marketing. By having the industry integrated, risk and uncertainty involved in various stages of operation could be diversified. The typo of integrating contract between producers and integrators include the share of profits, flat fee payment, feed conversion payment and salary basis. In the U.S., extensive changes in production, processing, and marketing during the last few decades have changed the thicken broiler industry from one of small, widely scattered farms to one that is largo, concentrated and efficient. More than 99 percent of all broilers produced are grown under contract and by integrated firms which vary in size of operation and complexity. About 84 percent of all production is concentrated in 10 States. Some of the other factors ;hat contributed to these choses arc costs, energy use, prices, processing, marketing and demand. No integrated broiler production system has yet been applied in Korea's poultry industry, thus all stages all broiler operation run independently seeking for its own profit. Consequently, producers price fluctuate very widely around the year even more than 50 percent in a few months. This also leads to disadvantages of material supplies, processors and distributors and enforce the industry unstable. The current economic environment in Korea seems that the time for broiler integration comes and as an ideal integrator, feed millers, food processors and producers group may be considered.

본 연구는 노인과 여대생의 건강 상태를 비교하여 노화가 일어날수록 변화되는 신체 및 식습관 변화 등을 알아보고, 좀 더 효과적인 노인 건강 증진 및 그에 대한 기초 자료를 제공하고자 실시하였다. 본 연구의 여자 노인 평균 연령은 $78.64{\pm}7.30$세였으며, 신장과 체중은 각각 $147.07{\pm}5.72$ cm, $50.47{\pm}7.44$ kg으로 한국인 체위 기준치에 비해 3.93 cm 더 작았으나, 체중은 0.27kg 정도 높게 조사되었다. 체질량 지수는 노인이 $22.83{\pm}6.11\;kg/m^2$, 여대생이 $20.23{\pm}2.13\;kg/m^2$로 노인의 체질량 지수가 높았지만, 정상 범위($18.5\;kg/m^2{\leq}$BMI < 24.9kg/$m^2$)에 속하였다. 여자 노인의 경우, 아침식사를 여대생에 비해 챙겨 먹는 경우가 많았지만, 의치 등을 사용하고, 음식을 씹는데 어려움을 겪고 있어, 국물 위주의 식사를 하는 경우가 많았고, 식사시간도 10분 이내로 짧았다. 대부분의 여자 노인들이 한가지 이상의 질병을 앓고 있는 것으로 조사되었으며, 고혈압이 25%로 가장 많은 비율을 차지하였다. 운동 여부를 묻는 질문에는 여자 노인은 52.2%, 여대생은 47.8%가 운동을 한다고 답하였다. 운동의 횟수를 보면, 여자 노인은 35명 중 일주일에 평균 1～2번 정도 하는 경우가 74.3%나 되었다. 전체 조사 대상자의 1회 운동시 평균 운동 시간은 30분 이내가 가장 많은 비율(40.3%)을 차지하였고, 전체 조사 대상자가 가장 즐겨하는 운동의 종류로는 가벼운 운동(걷기, 체조 등)이 73.1%였으며, 그 다음으로 중정도의 운동(자전거, 헬스, 조깅 등)은 19.4%였다. 여대생의 경우에는 강도가 높은 운동(탁구, 수영, 테니스 등)을 하는 비율도 7.5%나 되었다. 여자 노인은 여대생에 비해 흡연과 음주율은 낮았지만, 몇몇의 노인의 경우 흡연과 음주를 장기간에 걸쳐한 것으로 조사되었다. 혈액 성상 중 여자 노인은 적혈구수, hemoglobin, hematocrit, MCV 등이 여대생에 비해 유의하게 낮았으나, MCH와 MCHC 수치는 오히려 여자 노인이 각각 $31.27{\pm}3.79$ pg (p<0.09)과 $33.96{\pm}1.11$ g/dL(p<0.05)로 여대생의 수치에 비해 높았다. 중성지방 수치는 여대생($79.71{\pm}40.96$ mg/dL)에 비해 여자 노인($127.89{\pm}51.25$ mg/dL)에서 수치가 유의하게 높았으며(p<0.05), LDL-cholesterol 수치도 여자 노인이 $120.51{\pm}32.88$ mg/dL, 여대생이 $103.78{\pm}22.94$ mg/dL로 나타나 여자 노인에서 유의하게 높은 수치를 보였다(p<0.05). 그러나 총 콜레스테롤과 HDL-cholesterol의 수치는 여자 노인에 비해 여대생에서 높은 수치를 보였다(p<0.05). 혈청내 vitamin C의 함량은 여자 노인이 $3.01{\pm}2.94\;{\mu}g/mL$, 여대생이 $4.96{\pm}4.89\;{\mu}g/mL$로 여대생의 수치가 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). 본 연구 결과, 노인의 경우 노화가 진행될수록 몸의 기능의 쇠퇴로 인해 정상적인 생활을 하는 것이 많이 불편한 것으로 조사되었으며, 식습관 및 건강 상태 등이 급격히 변화 하고, 혈액내 중성지방, LDL-cholesterol 수치가 급격히 높아졌다. 또한 노인에게 있어서 노화를 지연시켜 주며, 항산화 역할을 하는 vitamin C와 HDL-cholesterol 수치가 낮아지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 노인들이 건강한 삶을 영위할 수 있는 실질적인 식생활 전반의 개선과 건강 증진을 위한 영양교육 강화의 필요성 및 노인 건강 상태에 알맞은 체계적인 식사 관리 프로그램이 요구됨을 알 수 있었다. 또한 자신의 건강 상태를 올바르게 판단하여 자신에게 맞는 식생활 계획을 세우는 것이 필요하다고 사료된다.

Nutritional regulation of gene expression associated with growth and feeding behavior in avian species can become an important technique to improve poultry production according to the supply of nutrients in the diet. Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) found in chickens has been characterized to be a 70 amino acid polypeptide and plays an important role in growth and metabolism. Although it is been well known that IGF-I is highly associated with embryonic development and post-hatching growth, changes in the distribution of IGF-I gene expression throughout early- to late-embryogenesis have not been studied so far. We revealed that the developmental pattern of IGF-I gene expression during embryogenesis differed among various tissues. No bands of IGF-I mRNA were detected in embryonic liver at 7 days of incubation, and thereafter the amount of hepatic IGF-I mRNA was increased from 14 to 20 days of incubation. In eyes, a peak in IGF-I mRNA levels occurred at mid-embryogenesis, but by contrast, IGF-I mRNA was barely detectable in the heart throughout all incubation periods. In the muscle, no significant difference in IGF-I gene expression was observed during different stages of embryogenesis. After hatching, hepatic IGF-I gene expression as well as plasma IGF-I concentration increases rapidly with age, reaches a peak before sexual maturity, and then declines. The IGF-I gene expression is very sensitive to changes in nutritional conditions. Food-restriction and fasting decreased hepatic IGF-I gene expression and refeeding restored IGF-I gene expression to the level of fed chickens. Dietary protein is also a very strong factor in changing hepatic IGF-I gene expression. Refeeding with dietary protein alone successfully restored hepatic IGF-I gene expression of fasted chickens to the level of fed controls. In most circumstances, IGF-I makes a complex with specific high-affinity IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs). So far, four different IGFBPs have been identified in avian species and the major IGFBP in chicken plasma has been reported to be IGFBP-2. We studied the relationship between nutritional status and IGFBP-2 gene expression in various tissues of young chickens. In the liver of fed chickens, almost no IGFBP-2 mRNA was detected. However, fasting markedly increased hepatic IGFBP-2 gene expression, and the level was reduced after refeeding. In the gizzard of well-fed young chickens, IGFBP-2 gene expression was detected and fasting significantly elevated gizzard IGFBP-2 mRNA levels to about double that of fed controls. After refeeding, gizzard IGFBP-2 gene expression decreased similar to hepatic IGFBP-2 gene expression. In the brain, IGFBP-2 mRNA was observed in fed chickens and had significantly decreased by fasting. In the kidney, IGFBP-2 gene expression was observed but not influenced by fasting and refeeding. Recently, we have demonstrated in vivo that gizzard and hepatic IGFBP-2 gene expression in fasted chickens was rapidly reduced by intravenous administration of insulin, as indicated that in young chickens the reduction in gizzard and hepatic IGFBP-2 gene expression in vivo stimulated by malnutrition may be, in part, regulated by means of the increase in plasma insulin concentration via an insulin-response element. The influence of dietary protein source (isolated soybean protein vs. casein) and the supplementation of essential amino acids on gizzard IGFBP-2 gene expression was examined. In both soybean protein and casein diet groups, the deficiency of essential amino acids stimulated chickens to increase gizzard IGFBP-2 gene expression. Although amino acid supplementation of a soybean protein diet significantly decreased gizzard IGFBP-2 mRNA levels, a similar reduction was not observed in chickens fed a casein diet supplemented with amino acids. This overview of nutritional regulation of IGF-I and IGFBP-2 gene expression in young chickens would serve for the establishment of the supply of nutrients to diets to improve poultry production.
