Zearalenone (ZEA), a nonsteroidal estrogenic mycotoxin, is known to cause toxicity of testis in male rats. To investigate whether apoptosis is involved in ZEA-induced testicular toxicity and to identify the stage and target germ cell type, 10-weeks-old Sprague-Dawley male rats were treated with a single intraperitoneal (i.p.) dose of ZEA (5mg/kg) and euthanized at 3, 6, 12, 24, and 48 h subsequently.(omitted)

We report a case of a healthy 38-year-old man presenting with insufficiency fracture of proximal tibia associated with unrecognized osteoporosis. Radiologic bone DEXA (Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) assessment revealed osteoporosis, but the patient displayed no apparent risk factors for insufficiency fractures and osteoporosis except for a history of smoking. Following right proximal tibial open reduction and internal fixation, the patient commenced smoking cessation and began taking alendronate. The patient was treated for gait rehabilitation, which included quadriceps strengthening exercises and his condition improved with independent walking. This report highlights an unusual site of proximal tibial insufficiency fractures and the potential effect of smoking on low bone mineral density in a young male patient.

This study was conducted to investigate sodium and potassium balances, as well as correlations among the relating factors in adult males and females. We collected blood, urine and feces samples as well as a dietary intake survey from 50 subjects. Then, we analyzed the sodium and potassium contents in blood, urine and feces, and evaluated their state of balance. The average ages of the study targets were 24.7 years old for males and 22.8 years old for females. The daily energy intake by the males was 1733.4 kcal and by the females was 1570.3 kcal. Sodium intakes were 138.3 mEq and 127.5 mEq for males and females, respectively. Potassium intakes were 43.1 mEq and 49.3 mEq, respectively. The daily excretions of sodium through urine were 136.6 mEq by males and 97.0 mEq by females and the excretions through feces were 2.2 mEq and 2.0 mEq, respectively. The daily excretions of potassium through urine were 20.2 mEq and 16.5 mEq by males and females respectively, and the excretions through feces were 7.7 mEq and 7.5 mEq male to female. The retention rates of sodium were 11.7% and 14.1% male to female, respectively, and the apparent absorption rates were 98.5% and 97.8%. Additionally, the retention rates of potassium were 32.9% and 39.8% and the apparent absorptions were 81.9% and 81.3%, both male and female. It was noted that, overall, the sodium intake of adult males and females is still higher than the recommended daily sodium intake, while the potassium intakes and excretions were found to be lower. Based on the results of this study, nutritional guidance and education is recommended to encourage decreased sodium intake and increased potassium intake, according to recommended standards.

A 10-year-old castrated male papillon presented with nasal discharge, coughing and chronic dysphagia. On physical examination, the dog exhibited sneezing, gurgling and movement of the throat with repeated attempts to swallow fluids. A diagnosis of cricopharyngeal achalasia (CPA) was made based on video fluoroscopic demonstration of failure of relaxation of the upper esophageal sphincter. This report describes the diagnosis of CPA in an old dog, which is rarely diagnosed in older animals.

The purpose of this study was to explore university students′ perceptions about the elderly before and after an introductory course for gerontology. Sixty-two male and female undergraduate students participated in the study as a part of the course requirement. Throughout the semester, theme students received a series of classroom lectures on gerontology, as well as participated in diverse activities to experience elderly lives. A survey was administered with the students at the beginning of the first day of class and at the end of the semester. By the end of the unit university students were more likely to have accurate conceptions of and positive attitudes toward aging and the aged. More specifically, they were more likely to (1) perceive "old" and "getting old" as a positive one, (2) seem older adults spend their time on active self-development and social activities, (3) view older adults are important, (4) change opinions about what an old person and young person do together, and (5) have a positive outlook on their own future lives as older adults.

This study was carried out to produce twin calves by embryo transfer in Hanwoo and investigate the pregnancy and twin rate by recipient's conditions. All recipients were bred at estrus by artificial insemination with Hanwoo semen and then transfered an additional embryo produced in vivo or in vitro to tbe uterine horn contralateral to the corpus luteum on Day 7. The results obtained were as follows ; 1. The pregnancy rate was higher in young recipients of 3 years (68.8%) than in old ones of 10 years and greater(36.4%). And for CL size pregnancy rate was 57.9, 45.4 and 60.1% in large, medium and small size of CL of recipients, respectively. 2. 447recipients were transferred an additional embryos at 7th day after Al and average pregnancy rate was 57.5% and twin production rate was 22.2%. 3. Average pregnancy and twin production rate by direct transfer methods of frozenthawed IVF embryos was 56.0 and 16.7%. 4. The ratio of male to female twin in a total of 55 twin pairs was 54.6%, and average gestation lengths of male to female and female to female twin were 280.6$\pm$5.4 and 279.715.4 days, respectively. Average birth weight of twins was beavior in male and male twin(23.2i5.8kg) than in male and female twin(20.5$\pm$2.6kg).

Fitness of clothes becomes a major concern in apparel industry. But male sports athletes had difficulties to buy ready-made clothes of good fit. Because ready-made clothes manufactured in companies are produced accordingly to the general person's body types. To solve this problem, it is necessary to classify athletes' upper body into several kinds of somatotypes. The purpose of this study was to classify upper body types of male sports athletes based on the analysis of their upper body types and to provide fundamental data on the development of ready-to-wear clothing appropriate for the upper body types. The subjects for anthropometric measurement were 189 male sports athletes of 20 to 29 year-old. The result of factor analysis indicated that 6 factors were extracted from anthropometric measurements through analysis and those factors comprise 73.807% of total variance. 3 clusters were categorized using 6 factor scores by cluster analysis. Type 1 was taller than other types, had average size in circumference, width and thickness and was bending somatotype. Type 2 exhibits a large circumference in the upper body and straight somatotype. Type 3 was characterized by short, exhibits a large circumference in waist, abdomen and hip and swayback somatotype.

IgG4-related disease is an immune-mediated fibro-inflammatory disease, characterized by lymphoplasmacytic infiltration composed of IgG4-positive plasma cells of various organs with elevated circulating levels of IgG4. This disease is now reported with increasing frequency and usually affects middle-aged men. Massive pleural effusion in children is an uncommon feature in IgG4-related disease. Here, we report a case of a 16-year-old male patient with extensive IgG4-related disease presenting with massive pleural effusion, mediastinal mass, and mesenteric lymphadenopathy.

The Purpose of this study· was to investigate the dietary intake and health for male and female old persons living in Young Dong by mean of questionnaire and interview. The results from the above survey are summerized as follows ; 1. The aged average height, weight, and physical index were 166cm, 60kg, 19.31 in male, 156cm, 50kg, 20.27 in female which were almost the same as the Korean average standard (male; 167. 0cm, 61. 0kg, 21.8, female; 156cm, 53.0kg, 21.8). Among the condition of diseases, neuralgia was 45.3%, hypertension was 12.2%, constipation was 10.4%. 2. Correlation coefficients between systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and age were significant(P<0.05, P<0.01), and also those between systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and Body Mass Index were significant(P<0.01, P<0.005). 3. Correlation of food intake frequency of protein group, calcium group, vitamin and mineral group was divided three levels-Good, Fair, Poor. Food intake frequency as the factors(three groups) which might influence the condition of health was partly significant (P<0.05, P<0.1).
