In human, sudden infant death syndrome(SIDS) is synonyms for the sudden, unexpected and unexplained death of an infant. The incidence of SIDS has been estimated to be from 1 to 3%. Cloning has a relatively high rate of late abortion and early postnatal death, particularly when somatic cells are used as donors of nuclei and rates as high as 40 to 70% have been reported. However, the mechanisms for SIDS in cloned animals are not known yet. To date, few reports provide detailed information regarding phenotypic abnormality of cloned pigs. In this study, most of the cloned piglets were alive at term and readily recovered respiration. However, approximately 82% of male cloned piglets (81/22) died within a week after birth. Significant findings from histological examinations showed that 42% of somatic cloned male piglets died earlier than somatic cloned female piglets, most probably due to severe congestion of lung and liver or neutrophilic inflammation in brain, which indicates that unexpected phenotypes can appear as a result of somatic cell cloning. No anatomical defects in cloned female piglets were detected, but three of the piglets had died by diarrhea due to bacterial infection within 15 days after birth. Although most of male cloned piglets can be born normal in terms of gross anatomy, they develop phenotypic anomalies that include leydig cell hypoplasia and growth retardation post-delivery under adverse fetal environment and depigmentation of hair- and skin-color form puberty onset. This may provide a mechanism for development of multiple organ system failure in some cloned piglets. Th birth weights of male cloned pig in comparison with those of female cloned piglets are significantly reduced(0.8 vs 1.4kg) and showed longer gestational day(120 vs 114). In conclusion, brain meningitis and hepatopneumonic congestion are a major risk factor for SIDS and such pregnancy in cloned animals requires close and intensive antenatal monitoring.

The present study was undertaken to investigate effects of ethanol extracts of acorn (QAEE) on arterial blood Pressure and respiration, to find out the mechanism of depressor activity of QAEE,. add to determine lethal dosages of QAEE in rabbits and dogs. The results obtained were as follows: 1) After administration of 20 mg/Kg, 30 mg/kg, and 40 mg/kg of QAEE into rabbits the maximum depressor responses observed were respectively $16.3{\pm}1.4\;mmHg$, $28.7{\pm}2.0\;mmHg$ and $45.6{\pm}3.1\;mmHg$, while mean depressor responses following administration of 40mg/kg, 60mg/kg and 80mg/kg of QAEE into dogs were $32.2{\pm}1.6\;mmHg$, $39.5{\pm}1.5\;mmHg$, and $47.0{\pm}1.6\;mmHg$ respectively 2) Genenally depressor responses increased in proportion to dosage of QAEE administered whereas at same dosage of QAEE depressor responses were greater in rabbit than in dog. 3) It is suggested that depressor activity of QAEE resides mostly in its activity to activate vagus nerves and partly in Its activity to block beta-rceptors. 4) The lethal dosages of QAEE were 50 mg/kg to 60mg/kg for rabbi hue 90mg/kg to 100 mg/kg for dogs. 5) After QAEE administration respiratory rates were generally increased in the rabbit and the dog.

In order to prepare the technical fundamental in production of premium quality fruits of 'Niitaka' pears, we compared the quality parameters and storability of the fruits that had various fruit set position in a cluster. The fruits set on $4^{th}$ from basal part in fruit cluster had the largest fruit size. The weight of fruits set on the higher position than $4^{th}$ from basal part in fruit cluster showed decreasing tendency. The production rates of marketable fruits which had 500g to 899g in weight were the high in $3-5^{th}$ from basal part in cluster than those in other position. The differences of fruit height and diameter which represent balanced fruit shape also showed less difference in the fruits set on $4-5^{th}$ from basal part in cluster than the fruits set closely on basal part in cluster. The fruits set on $3-4^{th}$ from basal part in cluster showed lower rate in incidence of core breakdown and pithiness disorder during 4 months of cold storage than those on the closer position to basal part in cluster.

Plants sequester atmospheric CO$_2$, a major agent of climate change, during the growing periods and mitigate its rising accumulation in the atmosphere. Pinus densiflora and Quercus mongolica are the native tree species dominant in the temperate forests of Korea. This study quantified the annual CO$_2$ uptake by the two species at forest sites in Chuncheon in the middle of the country. The quantification was based on seasonal measurements of CO$_2$ exchange rates under natural conditions by an infrared gas analyzer over the growing season (1999). The monthly CO$_2$ uptake per unit leaf area ranged from 1.6-6.7 mg/d㎡/h for P. densiflora and from 3.7-8.9 mg/d㎡/h for Q. mongolica, with a maximum in mid-summer. An equation for each species was generated to estimate easily the annual CO$_2$ uptake by total leaf area per tree, which subtracted the CO$_2$ release (i.e. respiration) by leaves and woody organs from the gross CO$_2$ uptake (diurnal uptake and release by leaves). Annual CO$_2$ release by leaves and woody organs accounted for 58-73％ of the gross CO$_2$ uptake across tree specimens. Annual CO$_2$ uptake per tree increased with increasing dbh (stem diameter at breast height) for the study diameter range, and was greater for Q. mongolica than for P. densiflora in the same dbh sizes. This was mainly associated with a greater total leaf area in the former. For example, the annual CO$_2$ uptake by one tree with dbh of 25 cm was 35.6 kg/yr for P. densiflora and 47.9 kg/yr for Q. mongolica. The results from this study can be applied to evaluate an atmospheric CO$_2$ reduction of woody plants by forest type and age class.

The respiratory characteristics and quality attributes of mature green mume fruits as influenced by modified atmosphere packaging(MAP) conditions during storage at 25oC for 8 days were investigated. The quality attributes of mume fruits were evaluated in terms of fresh weight loss, physiological injury and yellowing. The packaging materials used for MAP were low density polyethylene(LDPE) films with various different thicknesses. Yellowing and fresh weight loss of mume fruits were noticeably reduced by the packaging treatments with LDPE A and B. The physiological injury of the fruits during storage was found to be more severe in LDPE C than others. For LDPE A and B, the oxygen and carbon dioxide contents within the packages of Mume fruits maintained at the levels of 2~3% and 7~8%, respectively. With respect to visual quality, MAP prolonged the shelf life of the fruits much longer compared with the unsealed control. From the experimental results, it is suggested that the LDPE films with the gas trans mission rates of about 2,100 O2 ml/m2.day.atm and 6,700 CO2 ml/m2.day.atm would be proper for MAP of mature green mume fruits during storage at ambient temperature.

생표고버섯의 신선도 연장을 위하여 $2^{\circ}C$에서 산소의 농도를 2%로 고정하고 탄산가스의 농도를 각각 2%, 4%, 6%로 조절한 CA 저장조건으로 표고버섯을 저장하면서 탄산가스의 농도에 따른 호흡율, off-flavor, 단백질의 전기영동 패턴 등을 비롯한 품질에 관련된 인자들의 변호를 조사하였다. CA 저장한 표고버섯의 호흡율은 대조구와는 달리 저장 40일 후 급격히 증가한 후 다시 저하되었는데 환경가스 조성 중 탄산가스의 농도에 반비례하였으며 off-flavor 성분인 ethanol 및 acetaldehyde의 양은 호흡율이 급속히 증가하기 20일 전에 최대치를 보였다. 한편 탄산가스의 농도에 따라 정미성분인 5'-GMP, 단백질의 전기영동 패턴 등도 차이를 보였는데 환경가스 조성 중 산소의 농도를 2%로 고정시, 탄산가스의 농도를 2%로 유지하는 것이 표고버섯의 품질 보존에 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.

The ark shell (or 'blood clam') Scapharca broughtonii is a filter-feeding bivalve that has red blood and inhabits waters approximately 10m in depth off the southern coast of South Korea. This study was part of a larger research project investigating the causes of death and restoration of shellfish resources, which are important aquaculture products in South Korea. We examined physiological responses related to survival, respiration, excretion, and amino acid changes as a result of changes in salinity. The 9-day median lethal salinity ($LS_{50}$) was 16.5 psu with confidence limits of 14.9-18.1 psu. At $25^{\circ}C$, the oxygen consumption and ammonia-nitrogen excretion rates were increased with decreases in salinity. Although the osmolality of individuals was acclimated within 2 h at 26.4 psu and 12 h at 19.8 psu, it took more than 5 days at a salinity of 13.2 psu, whereas no individuals acclimated and all died at a salinity of 6.6 psu. Of the amino acids present in the blood, taurine and alanine increased in response to decreased salinity. Tissues of the gill and the mid-gut gland were affected by decreasing salinity. These data will provide important fundamental information for examining the causes of mass mortality of shellfish in the summer.

Psudomonas sp. RY-1이 생성하는 extracellular depolymerase system을 이용하여 단위체의 결가지에 서로 다른 탄소 길이와 불포와기를 함유하는 medium-chain-length polyhdroxyalkanoates (MCL-PHAs)의 생분해도를 시럼실 조건에서 조사하였다. 생분애도는 평파내지에서의 clear zone 형성, 효소 처리에 의한 고분자 현탁액의 탁도 감소 및 호흡량의 경시적 변화로 측정하였다. Pseudomonas sp. RY-1은 MCL-PHA depolymerase의 생성을 통하여 조사된 모든 종류의 MCl-PHAs를 분해할 수 있었으나, 이 효소의 생성은 쉽게 이용될수 있는 이차기질에 의해 저해받는 것으로 나타났다. MCl-PHAs의 분해율이 단위체의 탄소수가 홀수개로 구성된 고분자에 비하여 보다 높았다. 곁가지에 분포화기를 함유한 MCl-PHAs는 불포화기를 갖지 아니하는 고분자에 비하여 분해가 빠르게 이루어졌으며, 이들의 분해는 고분자의 결정화도와 밀접한 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났다.
