This experiment was carried out to search for changes of growth and pharmacological component contents by cultivation years in Artemisia capillaris. Percentage of ovenwintering in 1-year old was high as 95.3% but that in 2-years old was very low as 64.2%. Plant height was the highest in 2-years old among the treatments. By the way, number of stems and branches were shown wide difference by cultivation years, so those were the best in 3-years old. It was thought that 3-years old plants dispersed and used their nutrients by increasing branches. Fresh weight was the highest as 200.0 g in 3-years old, whereas weight of capitulum included scoparone, effective component, was the highest as 109.6 g in 2-years old and low as 96.4 g in 3-years old. In general components, crude protein and ash were more included in 1-year old and crude lipid and fiber were more included in 2 and 3-years old. Especially, content of crude fiber in stem was the highest in 3-years old. Pharmacological components were the most existed in capitulum of 2-years old, so contents of scoparone and capillarisin were 6.5 mg/g DW, 1.65 mg/g DW, respectively.

This study was to evaluate applications of the alkalophilic enzymes from Coprinus cinereus 2249 with old newsprint(ONP). A enzymatic deinking process based on alkalopholic enzymes was investigated . It was found that alkalophilic enzymes could effectively deink old newsprint. When applied on deinking of the old newsprint, it increases the freeness and brightness due to effect of hydrolysis at 0.1% enzyme concentration . Also, the physical properties of deinked pulp were improved.

A series of greenhouse test was conducted to evaluate infection of Calonectria ilicicola on soybean plants of different ages at time of inoculation. Lesion length and number of perithecia were determined on cultivars Braxton, Deltapine 726, and Riverside 699 that were 10∼40 days old and 4-10 days old at time of inoculation. Quadratic and linear relationships were described between plant age at inoculation and lesion length or perithecia production in greenhouse studies. Soybean seedlings exhibited low susceptibility to C. ilicicola regardless of cultivar susceptibility. On 8- or 1-0-days-old Braxton, lesion lenght and perithecia numbers were reduced. Lesion lengths were longest on plants 30 days old whereas perithecia production was greatest on plants 20∼30 days old at time of inoculation. Differences in lesion length and perithecia production that were observed on young plants (4∼10 days old) were similar to relative levels of susceptibility in soybean cultivars in greenhouse and field tests, suggesting that reaction to C. ilicicola in soybean cultivars may be determined early in plant development.

Due to a rapidly aging society, the future Korea mortality rate is important for planning national financial strategies and social security policies. Old age mortality statistics are very limited in their ability to project a future mortality rate; therefore, it is essential to accurately estimate the old age mortality rate. In this paper, we show that the CK model with a Relational model as a base model provides accurate estimates of old age mortality rates.

Objectives: This study intends to understand the difference within group of social support level and the effect of social support to health behaviors and health status of the elderly by selecting the old of local society as target. Methods: Data were obtained from self-administered questionnaire of 8,688 persons, older than 65 years, living in a community. We measured the sociodemographic characteristics, social support(family support, other support, quality of support), physical health state(subjective health status, number of chronic disease), physical function state(activities of daily living; ADL, instrumental activities of daily living; IADL), cognition state(mini-mental state examination-Korean; MMSE-K) and depression state(short form of geriatric depression scale; SGDS), health behaviors(smoking, drinking, exercise, eating habit). Univariate, multinominal logistic regression and covariance structure analysis were employed to analyze factors affecting on the social support of the elderly. Results: When considering the degree of social support by the sociodemographic characteristics of the older adults, the family support, other support and quality of support is better when the old is male, young, high education and self-reported living status is good and it has significance statistically. When considering the relation between social support and health status, the family support, other support and quality of support is better when the old's subjective and objective physical health status is good. The family support, other support and quality of support is better when the old's subjective health status is better. The other support and quality of support is better when the old's ADL(activities of daily living) and IADL(instrumental activities of daily living) are good. The family support, other support and quality of support is better when the old's cognitive function and depression state is better. When considering the relation between social support and health behaviors, in case of smoking and drinking, the quality of support, family support and other support is better when the old smokes and drinks rather than the old does not. In case of exercise and eating habit, the family support, other support and quality of support is better when the old exercises and eats regularly rather than the old does not. It has significance statistically. From the result of performing covariance structure analysis by structural equation modeling(SEM) with two endogenous variable(health behaviors and health status) and one exogenous variable(social support), factor loading of health status is 0.74 and factor loading of health behaviors is 0.05. The social support explains health status of 55.4% and health behaviors of 2.9%. Conclusions: This study has the meaning that it finds the difference of social support generating from inside of the group for the old residing in city and country and specifies the effect that the difference of social support influences to health status and health behaviors. From now on, in the development of health improvement strategy of the olds, it is necessary to approach from inclusive aspect while considering psychosocial factor such as social support and social economical factor as well as health status.

The present study was designed to investigate the morphological developments of the stomach in the prenatal and postnatal rats. The gastric fundus of 16- to 22-day-old fetuses, neonates, 7-day-old, 14-day-old, 21-day-old, and adult rats were observed by light and scanning electron microscopy. Light microscopic studies. 1. In the 16-day-old fetuses, the walls of the gastric fundus were differentiated into epithelium, lamina propria, muscle layer, and serosa. The lamina propria was composed of mesenchymal connective tissue cells with sparse nucleus and their fibers. 2. In the 17-day-old fetuses, the muscular layer were differentiated into the circular and longitudinal muscle layers. 3. The epithelium on the fundus of stomach was stratified columnar cells at 16-, 17- and 18-day-old fetuses, but partly converted into simple columnar epithelium at 19-day-old fetuses. 4. The mucous cells were positive by PAS reaction at the 19-day-old fetuses and then these developed rapidly within 1 or 2 days before birth. 5. In the 20-day -old fetuses, the parietal cells were distinguished from other type cells and these cells were chiefly crowded in the middle parts of the gastric glands after 7-day-old. Scanning electron microscopic studies. 6. The surface of gastric mucosa was covered with forms of the various protrusions by forming villi at the last few days before birth and these protrusion forms were fused and folded each other. 7. The mucosal surface was closely packed by polygonal mucous cells. The openings of gastric glands were seen as slit-like round invagination and were more numerous and increased gradually in depth after the postnatal life. The above findings indicate that prominent changes occurred in the pattern of cellular proliferation in the stomach fundus at the end of gestation. The gastric epithelium had well-defined glands composed of parietal, chief and mucous cells just before the birth. The stomach fundus, therefore, were developed morphologically as those of normal adult at fourteen days after birth.

Research outcome shows the following: 1. Estimation by the year 2015 on the number of the aged people and on the number of the household of living alone and living with spouse only, per age-cohort by 5 years, per basic self-govern-ins local groups and the city of Daegu. The result is supposed to serve as meaningful basic material in building up future policies in many areas for the aged people living in their homes. 2. Estimation varies according to the areas and the age-cohorts. In urban areas, increase of the numbers of the households of the aged people living alone and living with spouse only is estimated in every age-cohort. In rural areas, variance between two age-groups, old-old and young-old, is observed. Both of the numbers of the households for the aged living alone and the aged living with spouse only have increased continuously by the year 2005. But the hither-to increase tendency is estimated to reverse itself to a decrease starting from the younger within the young-old age group, and the ratio of the old-old age-group in rural population will sharply increase starting from the year 2005. Such increase in the number of the aged people in need of the housing and the social support requires the increasing policy consideration for the issue of housing for the aged living in their homes. In spite of the decreasing tendency in the number of the aged people living alone and living with spouse only in rural areas, still there will continue to be more number of such households than in urban area for the time being. The government of Gyeongsangbuk-Do should pay more consideration to the old-old aged living alone and living with spouse only in rural areas, while being prepared for the sharply increasing households for the aged living alone and living with spouse only in urban areas.

Objectives The purpose of this research is to find out the relationship between Zema 21 and in body based on the Sasang Constitutional difference of children. Methods We collected 1050 children from 5 years old to 15 years old who had been tested for both Zema21 and Inbody in OO oriental hospital from the period of September 1, January 1999 to August 31, 2008. This research investigated the Constitutional differences based on the relationship between Zema21 and Inbody. Results 1. It turned out that the children's height does not have a significant relationship between their age and gender. 2. Generally, Taeumin's weights were significantly high than those of Soyangin's and Soumin's in certain ages in children over 9 years old and in all genders. 3. The percentage of the body fat in Taeumin were significantly high than Soyangin and Soumin in certain ages in children over 10 years old and in all genders. 4. Waist-Hip ratio in Taeumin were significantly high than Soyangin and Soumin in male over 10 years old and in female over 13 years old of children. On the other hand, there was no relationship to the Soyangin and Soumin. 5. The obesity degree in Taeumin were significantly high in all female and male who were over 10 years old. Soyangin were the next highest group and Soumin follows. 6. Body Mass Index in Taeumin were significantly high in all genders who were over 10 years old. The second is Soyangin, and the lowest groupis Soumin. 7. The Basal Metabolic Rate resulted as significant in all age, although this does not have any relationship between age and gender. 8. Abdomen out in Taeumin were significantly high in ages over 10 and genders. The second is Soyangin and the lowest is Soumin. 9. Hip circumference Abdomen out in Taeumin were significantly high in ages over 10 and genders. Specially, Taeumin shows highest value, then the second is Soyangin, and the lowest is Soumin who were over 12 years old. Conclusions The results of Inbody were not significant to the children who were under 9 years old. Taeumin became significantly fat after over 10 years old. The results of Body Composition except height and Basal Metabolic Rate(MBR) were the highest in Taeumin, and Soyangin and Soumin were the second, and the third respectively.
