낙동강 하구생태계에 분포한 종속영양세균의 환경 변화에 따른 군집구조의 변화를 파악하기 위해 총 858 균주를 분리하여 수리학적 방법에 의해 분석하였다. 종의 다양성(H') 은 1.54-3.49 로, 하구언 건설 전의 수치와 큰 차이가 없었으나, 균등성지수(evenness index)(J') 는 0.31-0.80 으로 감소하였다. Physiological tolerance index 중 수온에 대한 지수(P') 는 수심이 얕은 정점에서, pH 와 염분에 대한 $P_{h}$ 및 $P_{s}$ 는 담수와 해수가 교차하는 정점에서 높았다. 우점의 cluster 를 속 (genus) 수준에서 동정한 결과 Aeromonas, Vibrio, Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter-Morexella, Alcaligenes, Flavobacterium, Micrococcaceae, Enterobacteriaceae 등으로 분류되어 하구언 축조 전과 동일한 종류의 세균뷴포를 나타냈으나 그 출현비율은 달랐다. 이와 같은 결과로 미루어 하구언 축조 등에 따른 낙동강 하구역의 환경변화는 분포세균의 종류보다는 생리적 특셩에 영양을 미쳐 특정종의 우점을 나타나게 한 것으로 사료된다.

목적: 소아기는 알코올이나 약물 등에 의한 자극이 거의 없는 시기로 H. pylori 감염의 자연 경과와 단기간의 영향을 연구하기에 적합한 시기이다. 최근 H. pylori 감염의 기전으로 중요시되고 있는 위상피세포 증식과 세포사에 대해 소아에서 알아보고자 하였다. 방법: 1996년 5월부터 2001년 6월까지 이화여자대학교 목동병원 소아과에서 소화기 증상으로 내시경을 시행하여 H. pylori 감염으로 진단된 58예와 감염 음성 40예를 대상으로 하였다. H. pylori 감염 양성은 조직학적으로 H. pylori 균이 관찰되고, CLO 검사와 ureC PCR이 전부 양성인 경우로 하였다. 위생검 조직에서 개정된 시드니 체계를 이용하여 조직 소견을 분석하고, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) 발현으로 위 상피세포 증식의 정도를, in situ terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferasemediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) 방법으로 세포사의 정도를 조사하였다. 결과: 1) H. pylori 감염 양성에서 다핵형 중성구의 활동성(P=0.000), 만성 염증(P=0.000), 상피손상(P=0.000), 림프여포(P=0.000)의 정도가 감염 음성에 비하여 유의하게 높았다. H. pylori 감염 양성에서 장형화생은 관찰되지 않았다. 2) H. pylori 감염 양성에서 세포 증식 지표는 $67.8{\pm}18.13$으로, 음성 $54.8{\pm}14.46$에 비하여 유의하게 높았다(P=0.000). 세포 증식 지표는 H. pylori 밀도가 증가할수록(r=0.277, P=0.007), 다핵형 중성구의 활동성이 증가할수 (r=0.280, P=0.007), 만성염증이 증가할수록(r=0.284, P=0.006) 증가하였다. 3) 세포사 지표는 H. pylori 감염 양성에서 $0.44{\pm}0.447$, 음성에서 $0.14{\pm}0.196$으로 감염 양성에서 음성보다 유의하게 높았다(P=0.000). 세포사 지표는 H. pylori 밀도가 증가할수록(r=0.472, P=0.000), 다핵형 중성구의 활동성이 증가할수록(r=0.370, P=0.001), 만성 염증이 증가할수록(r=0.483, P=0.000) 증가하였다. 4) 세포 증식 지표가 증가할수록 세포사 지표는 유의하게 증가하였다(r=0.353, P=0.003). 결론: H. pylori 감염 소아에서 세포 증식 지표와 세포사 지표가 유의하게 증가하였으며 상관성도 유의하였다. 이는 소아에서 위 상피세포 증식과 세포사가 H. pylori의 병인에 중요함을 시사하며, 앞으로 세포 증식과 세포사의 기전, 유발 요인 외에 다른 병독 인자와의 관련성에 대한 연구가 필요하리라 생각된다.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to develop a sodium index, which is a tool for estimating and assessing sodium intake easily and quickly, to assist in the prevention of various diseases induced by excess sodium intake in Korean adults. SUBJECTS/METHODS: The 24-h urine collection and dietary behavior surveys were performed on 640 healthy people in 4 regions of South Korea, and an equation for the estimation of 24-h sodium intake was developed. The validity and reliability of the equation were verified with 200 adults. The sodium index was developed by converting the estimated sodium intake using the equation. Finally, the sodium intake status of 1,600 adults was assessed using the sodium index. RESULTS: The equation included sex, age, body mass index, eating habit and dietary behaviors related to sodium intake. In validity test of the equation, the mean bias between sodium intake using 24-h urine analysis and using the equation from the Bland-Altman plots was -1.5 mg/day. The sensitivity and specificity of the equation for estimation of sodium intake were 80.5% and 64.4%, respectively. In the reliability test of the equation, there was no significant difference between the first and second sodium intakes calculated using the equations, and Spearman's correlation coefficient between the 2 sodium intakes was 0.98. Sodium intake can be assessed as 'very moderate' for 75-100 on the sodium index, 'moderate' for 100-150, 'careful' for less than 75 or 150-200, and 'severe' for 250 or more. When sodium intake was assessed using the sodium index in 1,600 subjects, 54.3% and 24.3% of the subjects were assessed to be in the 'careful' and 'severe' categories, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Using a simple questionnaire, the sodium index can be used to monitor and assess sodium intake status, assisting in nutrition education and counseling in a large population.

We compared the spatial distribution of several heat stress indices (the Wet-Bulb Globe Temperature(WBGT) index, Environmental Stress Index (ESI), and Modified Discomfort Index(MDI)) for the heat wave of June 6~August 26, 2016, in Daegu. We calculated the heat stress indices using data from the high density urban climate observation network in Daegu. The observation system was established in February. 2013. We used data from a total of 38 air temperature observation points (23 thermometers and 18 automatic weather stations). The values of the heat stress indices indicated that the danger level was very high from 0900-2000h in downtown Daegu. The daily maximum value of the WBGT was greater than or equal to $35^{\circ}C$. The differences in the heat stress indices from downtown and rural areas were higher in the daytime than at nighttime. The maximum difference was about 4 before and after 1400h, and the time variations of the heat stress indices corresponded well. Thus, we were able to confirm that the ESI and MDI can be substituted with the WBGT index.

Silt Density Index (SDI) has been used as a fouling index for reverse osmosis (RO) processes for decades. In order to decrease RO fouling, feed water should meet SDI standard, which was used to select a proper pretreatment system for RO processes. However, SDI is supposed to be sensitive only to particles larger than 0.45 ${\mu}m$ in terms of diameters while nanoparticles and dissolved organic matter can be potent foulants for RO processes. Our study started from the suspected performance of SDI as a RO fouling index. SDI data from pilot plants located world wide including South Korea were collected and analyzed. Suspended partcle concentration (i.e., turbidity and particle counts), and dissolved organic matter concentration (i.e., dissolved orgnaic carbon (DOC) concentration) data were also collected and compared to SDI values of same water samples. We found that SDI values were not only affected by suspended particle concentration but also by dissolved organic matter concentration. Therefore SDI can be used as a reasonable fouling index for RO feed water because the main foulants for RO processes are suspended particle and dissolved organic matter.

This study was conducted to analyze the characteristics of women's body somatotypes by direct measurements. Through the classification of degree of obesity and silhouette, women in their 20s who have a great interest in body somatotype can grasp their real somatotype and recognize their obesity rate and silhouette easily. The results are as follows: 1. Average sizes of subjects for this study were: height 160.3cm, weight 52.2kg, bust 83.7cm, waist 65.7cm, hips 91.1cm. And average values of each body mass index were: BMI 20.3, Rohrer Index 1.27, Vervaeck Index 84.8. 2. For the BMI value, the Average Numeric Index of normal somatotype was the highest, 76.9%. The Rohrer Index of underweight somatotype was 34.3% and the Average Numeric Index was 1.12. In the Vervaeck Index, underweight somatotype was 35.7%, and the average Numeric Index was 79.1, while the overweight somatotype was 7.4% of the Vervaeck Index and 100.8 of the Average Numeric Index. So the index which had the largest range of normal values from the same subjects, was the BMI, then the Rohrer Index, and finally, the Vervaeck Index in that order. 3. In the result of sorting bodies with silhouettes, when drop value were used to sort, N type (normal somatotype) was 69.4%, H type (one has similar sizes in waist size and hips) was 20.4% and A type (one has big hips) was 10.2% in that order. Among people in their early 20s, A type was 12.1%. H type was high, 22.8%, among women in their late 20s. When Sinozaki's method of classifying body types was used, ideal somatotype was 86.6%, A type was 7.4%, I type was 5.6% and X type was 0.5%. Women in their late 20s showed higher rates of ideal somatotype, the rates of A type and I type were lower than women in their early 20s.

This study was performed to develop experimental model for milling degree and whiteness from analysis the CBB (colored bran balance) index using NMG dying and image processing. The endosperm layer increased and the pericarp, aleurone layer and CBB index decreased as the milling degree and whiteness increased. So, CBB index was closely linked to milling degree and whiteness. A empirical CBB index model was developed according to the milling degree and whiteness. The model were found to fit adequately to all test data with a coefficient of determination of 0.99, and therefore the CBB model proved to be quite applicable.

Let G be a simple connected graph with n vertices and m edges, with a sequence of vertex degrees $d_1{\geq}d_2{\geq}{\cdots}{\geq}d_n$ > 0. A vertex-degree topological index, referred to as harmonic index, is defined as $H={\sum{_{i{\sim}j}}{\frac{2}{d_i+d_j}}$, where i ~ j denotes the adjacency of vertices i and j. Lower and upper bounds of the index H are obtained.
