Leptin is produced by adipocytes and its role in the regulation of lipid metabolism, feed intake, productive and reproductive performance of domestic animal species has been greatly stressed and extensively investigated in recent years. This study was conducted to develop a radioimmunoassay (RIA) for the estimation of plasma bovine leptin and to determine plasma leptin concentration in fattening Japanese Black cattle (Wagyu) and its crossbreds at commercial farms. Relationships of plasma leptin with plasma vitamin A and age of crossbred cattle were also determined. Recombinant bovine leptin (rbleptin) was produced by the E. coli overexpressed leptin as a GST (glutathione S-transferase)-fusion protein. Then antiserum against bovine leptin was obtained by its immunization in rabbits. Using this antiserum, a bovine specific RIA was developed and plasma leptin level was determined in 120 crossbred fattening cattle (WagyuHolstein, 50:50) at commercial farms. The plasma leptin level increased with the age of cattle and its level was greater in the crossbred heifers than in the steers. Plasma vitamin A level was negatively correlated with plasma leptin level in crossbred heifers and steers. This relationship was stronger in heifers than in steers. Plasma leptin was gradually increased with advancing age in fattening Wagyu cattle. In conclusion, development of a bovine specific RIA to estimate plasma leptin will contribute to better understanding of the role of leptin in cattle.

This study was carried out to survey operation system of self-making TMR and particle size of self-making and commercial TMR, then to compare TMR particle size recommended by Penn State particle Size Separator. Daily mixing time in self-making TMR averaged 48.6±28.0min, 2 angar type of mixer was most by 55.5% and daily 2 times of mixing in summer and other season was 44.4 and 22.2%, respectively. Percentage of residual feed in upper sieve(19㎜ diameter), middle sieve(8 ti 18㎜ diameter) and lower pen was 21.5~25.6%, 16.0~25.8%, 52.8~61.4%, respectively, at self-making TMR mixer. Percentage of particle sizes of more than 19㎜ in self-making and commercial TMR was 24.9±1.4 and 26.2±1.7%, that of 8-10㎜ 22.8±1.0 and 12.8±1.2 and that of less than 8㎜ 52.3±1.7 and 61.0±1.5, respectively, which in particle length of 8~13㎜ in self-making and commercial TMR was lower by 82.6 and 100% compared to that recommended by Penn State particle separator, respectively. Especially there was not particle length of more than 19㎜ in commercial TMR at all. It is necessary to check the number of cows ruminating in a farm in order to estimate the particle size of TMR; it is recommended to change the TMR mixing time or the TMR formulae if the proportion of ruminating cows in a farm is less than 40%.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of domestic clay minerals on feed efficiency, meat quantity, meat quality and economic traits in 24 head of Hanwoo steers(166.1㎏ in body weight) for 540 days from six to 24 months in age. Feeding trial was conducted with 4 treatment(six heads/treatment) which were T1(Control), T2(Control+Kaolinite), T3(Control+Bentonite), T4(Control+Illite). The results obtained are summarized as follows; The range of average daily gains were 0.682 to 0.713, 0.669 to 0.714, 0.690 to 0.840 and 0.699 to 0.756㎏ in growing, fattening, finishing and over-all period, respectively, and the gains were high in T1 for growing and fattening period but in clay mineral groups for finishing and over-all period, especially it was high in Illite and Bentonite groups. Concentrates and TDN intakes per unit of ㎏ gains were lower in clay mineral groups than in control and was lower especially in Bentonite groups. In carcass characteristics, dressed carcass and fresh meat and retailed cut percent were not apparently difference by treatments, and yield index was 69.3, 68.9, 68.8 and 68.6 in T3, T2, T4 and T1, respectively. Marbling scores were 5.1, 4.6, 4.4 and 3.3 in T3, T2, T4 and T1, respectively, and the range of shear force by treatment was from 3.51 to 6.02㎏/㎠, and were improved with significant difference(P<0.05) in clay mineral groups than in control. Also in palatability traits, panel test scores of juiciness, tenderness and flavor were improved in clay mineral feeding groups, especially the flavor was improved with highly significant difference (P<0.01) in clay mineral groups than in control. In total fatty acid contents, the rate of SFA(saturated fatty acid) in longissimus muscle of beef was higher in the order of T2, T3, T1 and T4 while the rate of MUFA(monounsaturated fatty acid) was high in the order of T4, T3, T1 and T2. The contents of oleic acid which is major influential factor at the flavor of beef was higher in Illite groups than in any other groups. In composition of amino acids in longissimus muscles of beef, the rate of essential amino acids was high in the order of T1, T2, T3 and T4, and the rate of amino acids in clay mineral groups was smaller than in control. In chemical component in Gom-Tang(soup of bone) made by Hanwoo steer's leg-bone, the ranges of crude protein, ether extract, and crude ash was 0.81 to 1.24, 0.17 to 0.35 and 0.07 to 0.09%, respectively. In mineral composition, the ranges of Ca, P, Na, and Mg was 14.01 to 15.77, 11.45 to 16.40, 39.72 to 49.99 and 0.26 to 0.46ppm, respectively. Chemical composition were not apparently different but mineral composition was increased in clay mineral groups than in control. Income by treatments was 967,096 to 1,524,055 Won per head for 540 days and income of clay mineral groups in comparison with control's increased by 23.7 to 57.6 percent, and especially it was higher in bentonite and(or) Illite groups than others. According to the above results it may be concluded that clay mineral to growing-fattening Hanwoo steers can be improved the meat quantity, meat quality and income. Especially the effect of bentonite and illite is large and can be recommended for usage to improve animal performance as feed additives of growing-fattening Hanwoo steers.

홍세용,양동호,신현길,김순길,오도연,김기용,기은경,정광회,신상구 대한내과학회 1992 대한내과학회지 Vol.42 No.1

저자들은 two chain urokinase의 loading dose 및 maintenance dose를 결정하기 위하여 성인 뇌졸중 환자 6예를 대상으로 urokinase 300,000units를 주입하고(Ⅳ boluse), 60분간 혈중 urokinase의 변동을 관찰하여 two compartment model을 이용한 pharmacokinetic study를 하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 체중의 55~65㎏ 정도이고 간 기능이 정상인 한국인 성인에서 urokinase의 Vc(central compartment volume)은 4.56L 이었고 반감기는 distribution phase에서 2.3분, elimination phase에서 33.1분이었다. Total boidy clearance(CL)은 244/min이었고 area under the concentration time curve(AUC)는 1,349units/㎖.min이었다. 이를 근거로 하였을때 시험관에서 free form plasmin을 유리하는 urokinase의 최소 농도인 10units를 maintenance dose로 시간당 146,400units를 주입하는 것이 적절한 것으로 판단되었으며 이는 외국 성서에서 추천하는 시간당 4,400units/㎏(60㎏×4,400=264,00units)에 비하여 약 절반 정도에 해당하는 양이다. 이렇게 차이가 나는 이유는 명확하지 않으나 본 연구에서 desired concentration으로 사용한 10units/㎖은 소위 therapeutic window의 lower margin에 해당되기 때문일 것으로 생각되며 therapeutic window의 upper magrin을 규명하기 위한 연구가 뒤따라야 할 것으로 사료된다. A Pharmacokinetic study was performed .for two-chain UK(M.W.53,000) in 6 Korean adults with body weight between 55~65㎏ Following intravenous administration of 300,000 units of UK, concentration declined rapidly. The half life showed two-compartment disposition with mean initial and terminal half-lives of 2.3 and 33.1 minutes. Total body clearance was about 244㎖/min and the steady state volume of distribution (Vdss) was 9.46L. In conjunction with our previous finding that free form plasmin begin to form at a urokinase concentration of 5~10units/㎖, our results suggests that the loading dose and maintenance dose of urokinase during systemic intravenous administration should be about 45, 610unit and 146,400unit/hr in a Korean adult.

Epidemiology of group B streptococcus in Korean pregnant women

LEE, B. K.,SONG, Y. R.,KIM, M. Y.,YANG, J. H.,SHIN, J. H.,SEO, Y. S.,OH, K. Y.,YOON, H. R.,PAI, S. Y.,FOXMAN, B.,KI, M. Cambridge University Press 2010 Epidemiology and infection Vol.138 No.2

<B>SUMMARY</B><P>Between January 2006 and May 2008, 2624 pregnant S. Korean women between 35-37 weeks gestation were screened for group B streptococcus (GBS). Resistance to antimicrobials was tested by disk diffusion and serotype determined using co-agglutination assays and microarray methods. Overall, 8% of pregnant women were colonized. Serotype III was the predominant serotype (43·8%), followed by serotypes V (20·3%), Ia (12·1%), and Ib (9·5%). GBS was frequently resistant to clindamycin (54·0%) and erythromycin (25·6%); 3·7% were resistant to cefazolin. More than three-quarters of serotype V were resistant to clindamycin or erythromycin or both, and 71% of serotype III were resistant to clindamycin but only 12% were resistant to erythromycin. GBS prevalence exceeded earlier reports by one-third. This is the first report of cefazolin resistance in Korea. These results underscore the need to establish screening measures and chemoprophylaxis guidelines regarding GBS infections in Korea.</P>

본 연구는 분만전후 40두의 젖소에 무첨가, Aspergillus oryzae(T2), Saccharomyces cerevisiae 혼합제(T3) 및 효소분비촉진제(T4) 급여시 사료섭취량, 산유량 혈중대사물질 및 대사성 질병에 발생에 미치는 영향을 규명하기 위하여 완전임의배치법 10반복으로 수행하였다. 주요 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 분만전 건물섭취량은 처리간에 별 차이가 없었지만 분만일과 분만후 3주 동안에는 Aspergillus oryzae, Saccharomyces cerevisiae 혼합계 및 효소분비촉진제를 급여했을 때가 대조구보다 다소 많았다. 산유량은 사료첨가제를 급여한 구가 무첨가구보다 더 높았으며 특히 효소분비촉진제에서 산유량이 가장 높았다. 혈중 글루코스 및 NEFA 함량은 분만전에는 처리간에 큰 차이가 없었지만 분만일과 분만후 1, 2 및 3일에는 사료첨가제 급여구에서 대조구보다 혈중 글루코스 함량은 더 높고 반면에 NEFA 함량은 더 낮았다. 혈중 Ca 수준은 시험기간동안 처리간에 차이가 없었다. 대사성질병 발생은 대조구에서만 케토시스 1두 발생하였으며, 후산증체는 효소분비 촉진제구는 전혀 발생하지 않았으나 다른 구에서는 공히 2두가 발생하였다. 자궁 내막염은 T2구에서 1두 발생하였다. 결론적으로 전환기 젖소에 사료첨가제를 급여하면 사료섭취량 및 산유량 증가와 더불어 대사성질병 발생이 저하될 것으로 사료된다. The objective of this study was to evaluate a feed additives used mainly in lactating cow diets in transient pregrent cow diet. The study was conducted as a completely randomized design with forty Holstein pregnant cows to determine the effect of feeding Aspergillus oryzae(T2), Saccharomyces cerevisiae mixture(T3) and enzyme(cellulase, xylnase) - releasing chemicals(ERC) (T4) on the dry matter intake, milk yield, milk composition and metabolic disorders. Dry matter intake was similar among treatments for 3 weeks prepartum but cows fed enzyme tended to increased feed intake compared to no additives treatment both in calving day and for 3 weeks postpartum. Cows fed Aspergillus oryzae. Saccharomyces cerevisiae and ERC produced more milk than those fed no additives. However, there is no significant difference among treatments. Concentration of glucose was not significantly different among treatment prepartum but that in plasma of cows fed ERC was higher at calving and 3 weeks postpartum compared to others. Increase in NEFA began at 3 weeks prepartum and accelerate during the final 7 days before calving at all treatments but lower for ERC-treated cows at calving and 3 weeks postpartum. Ca concentration not different among treatment prepartum and postpartum. Corticoid content decreased significantly for cows fed ERC compared to those fed non-additives. Metabolic disorder was not occurred in cows fed ERC. However, ketosis and displased abomasum were happened 1 cow when fed non-additives, metritis 1 cow when fed Aspergillus oryzae and retained placenta 1 cow in all treatments except cows fed ERC.

This study was carried out to estimate environmental effects such as calving season, calving year on peak milk yield, days in milk at peak production(PKD), drying-off milk yield on 305-day, 305D milk yield, and persistency. The data used in this study were milk yield records from first freshened Holstein cows(187 heads) bred in National Livestock Research Institute from 1990 to 1996. Calving season, sire and calving year didn't affect days in milk at peak(PKD). But peak milk yield(PKM) was significantly affected by calving season(p$lt;.01) and calving year(p$lt;.05). Calving season, sire and calving year significantly affected the drying-off milk yield at 305D(DRYM) related to persistency(p$lt;.05). The PKD was 58.2±23.2day, peak milk yield was 26.2±3.9㎏ and drying-off milk yield on 305-day was 15.7±3.5㎏. The persistency showed 60.3 13.8%, and the phenotypic correlations of persistency between PKD and DRYM was positive.
