Purpose : HUS usually occurs in children after infection with shiga toxin-producing microorganism(D＋HUS). In contrast, non-postdiarrheal(D-) HUS occurs at any age and has a high rate of relapse and a poor prognosis. The clinical presentation of D-HUS is similar to that of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura(TTP). Recently severe deficiencies of ADAMTS13 were reported not only in TTP and D- HUS but also in D+ HUS during their acute phase. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the plasma ADAMTS13 activity in D＋ and D-HUS. Methods : Nineteen children with HUS(D＋ HUS 12 and D- HUS 7) were enrolled. The assays of plasma ADAMTS13 activity were performed during the acute stage in the D＋ HUS and at various stages of relapsing courses in the D- HUS patients by multimer assay, based on electrophoresis. Results : The median plasma activity of ADAMTS13 in D＋ HUS and D- HUS were 80.9%(37.8-132.4%) and 53.9%(1.0-94.1%), respectively, which were not statistically significantly different from control(86.4%, 34.2-112.3%)(P>0.05). One boy with D- HUS had severe deficiency of ADAMTS13(1.0%). His platelet count was normalized temporarily by fresh frozen plasma infusion. Conclusion : We have demonstrated that there is no significant difference of the plasma ADAMTS13 activity between D＋ HUS, D- HUS and control. We detected severe deficiency of ADAMTS13 in one boy who presented with relapsing episodes of D- HUS. ADAMTS13 deficiency should be considered in the subgroup of D- HUS especially with early onset and recurrent courses. Plasma therapy can be beneficial in this subgroup.

The objective of this study was to verify the best mating age of gilts at the first parity. Gilts (n = 86) were divided into nine groups in a factorial arrangement with three Ages (AG1, ${\leq}220d$; AG2, 220 to 240 d; AG3, $240{\leq}d$), and three weights (WT1 ${\leq}140kg$; WT2, 140 to 149 kg; WT3, $150{\leq}kg$). A higher body weight gain in AG2 sows during gestation. Sows in AG2 group showed a higher body weight gain at first parity and backfat gain in the parity 2 and 3 during gestation. A greater insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) was observed in AG1 sows compared with AG3 sows at weaning in the second parity. Sows in WT1 group showed a significant positive effect on the plasma IGF-1 at breeding and weaning time in parity 2. Sows in AG3 group showed a higher plasma leptin at breeding, farrowing, and weaning in the parity 1, and at farrowing in parity 2. Sows in WT3 group showed a higher plasma leptin at breeding, farrowing, and weaning in the parities 1 and 2. Considering the insignificant longevity results, the most efficient time for gilts insemination can be at 220 d when their body weight is 140 kg or lower.

A rapid analytical method was developed to quantify very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs, C22:0, C24:0, C26:0) in human plasma with good sensitivity and specificity using tert-butyldimethylsilyl (TBDMS) derivatization and stable isotope GC-MS selective ion monitoring (GC-MS/SIM). Two-hundred and fifty ${\mu}L$ of plasma was fortified with deuterated stable isotope internal standards (d3-C22:0, d3-C24:0, d3-C26:0) and standard mixtures of chloroform and methanol, and then extracted with hexane and acetonitrile. To upper layer of liquid-liquid-extraction, N-(t-Butyldimethylsilyl)-N-methyltrifluoroacetamide was added and then heated to $60^{\circ}C$ for 30 min to produce the TBDMS derivatives. Derivatives of VLCFAs were analyzed by GC-MS/SIM. Calibration curves showed a linear relationship for the target compounds in the concentration range of $10^{-4}{\sim}2{\times}10^3\;{\mu}g/mL$ with the correlation coefficient ranging from 0.996 to 0.999. The limit of quantification for the plasma was $10^{-4}{\sim}2{\times}10^{-4}\;{\mu}g/mL$ (S/N=3). When applied to the plasma specimens of patients with peroxisomal disorder, X-linked adrenoleucodystropy (ALD, Mckusick 202370), the method clearly differentiated normal subjects from ALD patients. The C24:0/C22:0 and C26:0/C22:0 ratios were significantly elevated in the plasma of patients with X-linked ALD compared to normal subjects. The new developed method might be useful for a rapid and sensitive diagnosis of X-linked ALD and other peroxisomal disorders.

The milt properties of filefish(Thamnaconus modestus) included physical properties of sperm and biochemical properties of seminal plasma. The physical properties of milt were $0.3{\pm}0.1\;mL{\cdot}fish^{-1}$ in sperm volume, $2.6{\pm}0.1{\times}10^7\;spermatozoa{\cdotg}mL^{-1}$ in sperm concentration and $73.3{\pm}6.7$ in spermatocrit. The biochemical properties of seminal plasma contained $9.8{\pm}0.9\;mmol{\cdot}L^{-1}$ potassium, $164.0{\pm}4.0\;mmol{\cdot}L^{-1}$ sodium, $151.0{\pm}1.2\;mmol{\cdot}L^{-1}$ chloride, $14.9{\pm}0.6\;mg{\cdot}dL^{-1}$ calcium, $7.2{\pm}0.1\;mg{\cdot}dL^{-1}$ magnesium, $1.0\;mg{\cdot}dL^{-1}$ glucose, $0.1\;g{\cdot}dL^{-1}$ total protein and $1.0\;mg{\cdot}dL^{-1}$ total lipid. The osmolality and pH of seminal plasma were $322.8{\pm}2.8\;mOsmol{\cdot}kg^{-1}$ and $7.7{\pm}0.1$, respectively. The spermatozoon of filefish consisted of three parts: head without acrosome, mid-piece with five mitochondria and flagellum with "9+2" pattern. The head of spermatozoon in longitudinal section was horseshoe-shaped, and $1.3{\sim}1.6\;{\mu}m$ long and $1.0{\sim}1.3\;{\mu}m$ wide.

Plasma steroid hormone levels in the viviparous rockfish (Sebastes schlegeli) were examined in relation to gonadal histology under controlled photoperiods and water temperatures. To investigate those effects in S. schlegeli the photoperiod was maintained at 15L:9D in June and then it was gradually decreased to 9L: 15D in October. It was then gradually increased to 12L:12D in January, followed by 14L:I0D in February. The water temperature was $19-20^{\circ}C$ in July. From August to October, it was from $18^{\circ}C\;to\;12^{\circ}C$. Then, it was dropped to a low of $19-11^{\circ}C$ in November to December and then gradually increased to $14-15^{\circ}C$ in February. In females, both plasma $estradiol-l7\beta\;$ (E2) and testosterone (T) levels from August to February showed a similar pattern in both the treatment and the control groups. In the treatment group, the peaks of plasma E2 and T were observed in November, and the peaks were closely correlated to histological observations. Oocytes contained many yolk globules (final vitellogenic oocytes), and oocytes at the migratory nucleus stage increased in size. Plasma levels of progesterone did not change much throughout the experimental period. However, in the control group, the peaks of E2, T, and progesterone were observed in February. These results indicate that the controlled photoperiod and water temperature accelerated sexual maturity, corresponding to the advancement of plasma E2 and T peaks by approximately 3 months. In males, plasma T levels showed a similar pattern from August to October in the treatment and control groups, though levels in the treatment group were higher than those in the control group. From histological observations, the treatment group copulated one month earlier.

In this paper, we report the result of the three-dimensional topography simultor, 3D-SURFILER(SURface proFILER) for the simulation of topographical evalution of the surface, curing a plasma etching process. We employed cell-removal algorithm to represent the topographical evoluation of the surface. The visibility with shadow effect was developed and applied to the spillover algorithm. To demonstrate the capability of 3D-SURFILER, we compared with simulated profiles with the SEM picture for dry and reactive ion etching(RIE) of the Si$_{3}$N$_{4}$ film and Pt film.

3D crosstalk is one of the disturbing things to recognize 3D images. This is caused by the phenomenon that input image for left eye is transferred at the right eye and right eye is transferred at the left eye because of the imperfect isolation by the device characteristics. In this paper, we review the 3D PDP (Plasma Display Panel) operation using active shutter glasses and crosstalk measurement method and investigate the major cause of 3D crosstalk and extend conventional 3D crosstalk using full white and full black image input to Gray-to-Gray (GtoG) 3D crosstalk. We suggest a specific method to reduce Gray-to-Gray 3D crosstalk by using Look up Table (LUT) and sub-field mapping in PDP. And then, we verify the method by measuring GtoG 3D crosstalk rate through specific test images and numerical results.
