This study was carried out to investigate the effects of breakfast service on nutritional status, hematological status, and attentiveness of children in low-income families. The subjects were 19 boys and 13 girls between 7 and 11 years old. The subjects were divided into a control group and a breakfast service (BS) group, in which 12 boys and 5 girls received breakfast from February 1 to December 31, 2010. The results can be summarized as follows: intakes of energy, protein, carbohydrate, calcium, iron, zinc, vitamin A, vitamin $B_2$, niacin, and vitamin C in the BS group were significantly higher than those in the control group. In the BS group, the intakes of calcium, folic acid, and vitamin C were lower than 75% of recommended intake levels. There were no significant differences in the total blood protein level and total cholesterol level between the BS group and control group. A blood albumin level was significantly higher in the BS group than in the control group. Systolic blood pressure was higher in the BS group than in the control group, whereas the diastolic blood pressure showed no significant difference between the groups. A dietary attitude score increased according to breakfast service and nutritional education. No significant differences were found in the capacity value and continuity value between the two groups, but the control value was significantly higher in the BS group than in the control group. Therefore, to sustain the effect of breakfast service and improve nutritional status for children skipping breakfast in low-income families, nutrition intervention services, as well as legal and financial support by the government should be provided.

Experiments were carried out to investigate the growth and hematological parameters of rock bream Oplegnathus fasciatus exposed to several different concentrations (0, 1, 2, 4, $8{\mu}g/L$) of tributyltin (TBT) for 4 weeks. Growth rate of the fish exposed to $8{\mu}g/L$ of TBT concentration was significantly lower than that of control group fish. The major hematological findings were significant decreases in the red blood cell count, hematocrit value and hemogobin concentration in the fish exposed to $8{\mu}g/L$. Although serum glucose concentration was significantly reduced compared to the control group, total protein concentration was found to be significantly increased over the control group. Exposure to $8{\mu}g/L$ of TBT concentration resulted in significant increase in the enzyme activities, such as glutamic oxalate transminase and glutamic pyruvate transminase in the fish. The present findings suggest that exposure to $8{\mu}g/L$ concentration of TBT can cause significant changes in growth and hematological parameters of rock bream Oplegnathus fasciatuso.

This study was conducted to determine the stress response [ethological (operculum movement number (OMN)), hematological (hematocrit and hemoglobin), biochemical (glucose, cortisol and glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT))] in red spotted grouper, Epinephelus akaara during exposure of different water temperature in winter season. This species (Total length, $18.56{\pm}0.34cm$) previously maintained in water temperature of $15^{\circ}C$ were transferred to 15, 20 and $25^{\circ}C$. During experimental period (7 days), OMN, hematocrit (Ht), glucose and GOT values were significantly high in $15^{\circ}C$ when compared to 20 and $25^{\circ}C$. Hemoglobin value was also increased at $15^{\circ}C$, but no significant differences. There was no differences in cortisol levels among the temperature groups. No fish mortality was observed during the experimental period. From these results, $15^{\circ}C$ is likely more stressful to red spotted grouper than $20^{\circ}C$ and $25^{\circ}C$. These observations confirm that red spotted grouper adapts better to temperatures between 20 and $25^{\circ}C$ during the winter season.

Effects of muscle fluid concentrates from Styela clava on fish diets were investigated in rainbow trout(Oncorhynchus mykiss). Fish were fed on one of the isonitrogenous(48%) and isolipic(20%) feed containing 5 to 20% of muscle fluid concentrates for 8 weeks. Hematological parameters such as hemoglobin, hematocrit, albumin, glucose, total bililubin, triglyceride and glutamic pyruvate transaminase of the rainbow trout which were fed on the diets varied, but no specific trend became apparent. However, glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase value was significantly higher than that of normal fishes. Therefore, concentrated ascidian fluid which is normally discarded, can be combined with commercial diets for the normal growth of rainbow trout.

Authors investigated the hematological examinations of 993 persons at rural region among the 1,7 41 of residents in-the part of Dang Jin (M:268, F:247) and Young Joo (M:270, F:208) in the Korea which was indicated as follows. 1. Average value and standard deviation of hematological items represents as follows: i) Hemoglobin Men Dang Jin-13.99$\pm$0.52. Man Young Joo-14.93$\pm$0.57 Women Dang Jin-12.56$\pm$0.38 women Young Joo-13.65$\pm$0.48 ii)Hematocrit Men Dang Jin-42.68$\pm$1.09 Man Young Joo-44.61$\pm$1.42 Women Dang Jin-38.16$\pm$0.93 women Young Joo-40.33$\pm$1.27 iii) Mean Corpuscular hemoglobin concentration Men Dang Jin-32.79$\pm$1.06. Man Young Joo-33.46$\pm$0.36 Women Dang Jin-32.92$\pm$0.75 women Young Joo-33.83$\pm$0.82 iv) WBC Men Dang Jin-7.130$\pm$880. Man Young Joo-7.490$\pm$910 Women Dang Jin-6.030$\pm$1.150 women Young Joo-7.320$\pm$1.040 2. The aspect of blood type at Young Joo and Dang Jin was same indicated in the order of A,O,B, and AB. 3. There are higher values of hemoglobin, hernatocrit, M.C.H.C. and WBC in men and women at Young Joo than Dang Jin.

A 10-day trial was conducted to evaluate the salinity tolerance and hematological responses of juvenile ship sturgeon Acipenser nudiventris under different salinity levels. A total of 240 fish averaging $6.2{\pm}0.13g$ (mean${\pm}$SD) were randomly distributed into 12 tanks in groups of 20, and each tank was then randomly assigned to one of three replicates of four different salinities at 0, 4, 8 and 12‰. At the end of 10 days of experimental period, plasma protein value of fish exposed to 0‰ and 4‰ salinities was significantly higher than those of fish exposed to 8‰ and 12‰ salinities (P < 0.05). Significantly higher values for plasma cortisol and glucose were obtained in fish exposed to 12‰ salinity compared to the fish exposed to 0‰ and 4‰ salinities (P < 0.05). Plasma potassium and sodium values increased significantly by increment of salinity levels (P < 0.05). Therefore, these results indicated that in natural environments, juvenile ship sturgeon, A. nudiventris in migratory populations could be able to migrate and adjust successfully into brackish water with a salinity of up to 8‰ without any short-term hematological stress responses.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the acute toxicity with oral administration in ICR mice of Ohyaksungi-san fermented with Lactobacillus sp. Methods: In single oral administered toxic test, four groups were administrated different dosages(0, 1250, 2500, 5000 mg/kg) of fermented Ohyaksungi-san. After single oral administration, we observed number of death, clinical signs, body weight changes, hematological values and autopsy. Results: Compared with the control group, we could not find any toxic signs in the mortalities, clinical signs, body weight changes, necropsy findings and hematological values in all treated groups (1250, 2500 and 5000 mg/kg). Conclusions: These results indicate that the $LD_{50}$ value of fermented Ohyaksungi-san extract might be over 5000 mg/kg and it have no side toxic effect to ICR mice
