<P>Although galanin (GAL) protects hippocampal neurons from ischemic damage, no study has examined ischemia-related changes in endogenous GAL in the hippocampal dentate gyrus. We investigated the chronological changes of GAL, well-known as the potassium channel opener, expression in the dentate gyrus at various times after 5 min of transient forebrain ischemia in gerbils. A few GAL-immunoreactive (IR) neurons were found in the polymorphic layer of the sham-operated group. Three hours after ischemia-reperfusion, the pattern of GAL immunoreactivity was similar to that of the sham-operated group and the number of GAL-IR neurons and immunoreactivity were highest 12 h after ischemic insult. At this time, GAL-IR neurons in the polymorphic layer showed strong GAL immunoreactivity. Thereafter, GAL-IR neurons and immunoreactivity significantly decreased in the dentate hilar region. Four days after ischemic insult, GAL-IR neurons were not detectable. In addition, the results of a Western blot study showed a pattern of GAL expression similar to the immunohistochemical changes. GAL protein content also was highest 12 h after ischemia. In conclusion, the increased expression of endogenous GAL in the dentate gyrus after ischemia is related to response to the ischemic damage.</P>

Fifty nine male Sprague-Dawley rats were used to investigate the hepatic effects of halothane anesthesia in alcohol-treated rats. Sampling was done before intravenous injection of ethyl alcohol(400mg/kg) or saline(5m1/kg) through tail vein. And 24 hours laterall rats were exposed to halothane-N_(2)/O_(2) (1%-2ℓ/2ℓ) for two hours. Intracardiac puncture for blood sampling was done after intraperitioneal injection of pentobarbital (50mg/kg) and hepatectomy was done to get the tissue sample for microscopic examination 24hours or 96 hours after halothane anesthesia. Biochemical studies including liver and renal function variables (protein, albumin, total bilirubln, direct bilirubin, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferse, alkaline phosphatase, BUN, creatinine) were done and the hepatic tissue was examined with light microscopy. The results are summarized as follows: 1) Twenty four hours after halothane anesthesia. protein albumin. total bilirubin. and alkaline phosphatase were significantly changed in both saline- and alcohol-treated rats. Serum transaminases level were not significantly changed in alcohol-treated group compared with saline-treated group (i.e. aspartate aminotransferase. alanine aminotransferase). Other parameters indicative of hepatic and renal function such as cholesterol. BUN and creatinine were not significantly changed. 2) There is no significant difference of histologic evidence of hepatic damage between alcohol- and saline-treated rats 24 hours after halothane anesthesia. 3) Ninety six hours after halothane anesthesia. protein. albumin and total bilirubin were significantly changed in both saline- and alcohol-treated rats. Serum transaminases and alkaline phosphatase level were not significantly changed in alcohol-treated group compared with saline-treated group (i.e., aspartate aminotransferase. alanine aminotransferase). Other parameters indicative of hepatic and renal function such as cholesterol. BUN, and creatinine were not significantly changed. 4) There is no significant difference of histologic evidence of hepatic damage between alcohol-and saline-treated rats 96 hours after halothand anesthesia.

Maize hybrids were planted on April 1, April 25, May 20 and June 15 in 2012, 2013 at the experimental paddy and upland fields in Suwon city , respectively to know changes of growth stage and yield according to different planting time. Maize planting on April 1 was not recommended because total growing days at planting on April 1 was not different with that at planting on April 25 due to many days from planting to emergence over 20 days at planting on April 1. Total growing days were not much different among three planting time after April 25 because days from silking to maturity was lengthened though days from planting to silking was shortened at later planting time. Stalk weight was decreased as planting time was delayed, particularly at planting times after May 20 at paddy field by excess water injury during early growth stage. But, grain yield was not low as in May and June. It is needed to introduce early maturity maize variety as Yanganok at late planting for higher grain yield and enough time for soil preparation for next winter crops

This study was carried out for evaluating stability and utility of expansion for sewage wastewater treatment plant throughout long term operation data of A₂O + MBR hybrid process without additional expansion site. Due to the lack of capacity of the existing treatment facilities by the increase of the number of facilities & students in the treatment area, it was required to expand the existing treatment facilities without expanding the site. Therefore, the treatment facility was expanded through two stages. In the first stage, the membrane was immersed in the aeration tank of the existing treatment facility, and the capacity of the expanded MBR process are changed to 1,200 ㎥/d from 600㎥/d. In addition, in the second stage expansion, the untreated mixture of MLSS & influent in the MBR were separated by using the sedimentation basin not used at the first stage expansion, and the process was changed to the A₂O + MBR hybrid process mixed & discharged with MBR treated water. The expanded sewage treatment facilities was operated from 2009 to 2015 and the treated water quality of the hybrid sewage treatment facilities has been stably operating such as BOD₅ 0.6mg/L, T-N 10.7mg/L, T-P 0.49mg/L, and SS 0.4mg/L. Due to characteristics of facilities installed in university, there are a lot of influent characteristics variation in season. Therefore, depending on influent load variation of the operating rate of hybrid process were changed. As a result, it could be able to reduce loading of membrane and operating expenses such as cleaning chemicals and electricity cost.

The Roles of the Government in Developing "Sport for All Movement" in Korea: From Intervention / Control to Accommodation / Support

( Ju Ho Chang ),( Seong Sik Cho ) 한국스포츠정책과학원(구 한국스포츠개발원) 2000 International Journal of Applied Sports Sciences Vol.12 No.1

This study attempts to figure out the roles of the government in developing ``sport for all movements`` which from intervention/control to accommodation/support. It discusses the relationships between the development of sport for all and the governmental roles in Korea in terms of political, economic and societal changes. It points out that the governmental intervention and control were the basic orientation of sport-policies when the civil sectors of society and local autonomous administration were underdeveloped and the political regime was authoritarian. With the development and democratization of the civil society and politics, however, this study stresses that non-governmental organizations and local autonomous governments tend to take on the responsibility for the sport for movement. With regard to societal changes, the roles of the government should be more toward accommodation and support rather than intervention and control. This study argues that the expansion and growth of civil sectors will increase the diversification, effectiveness, and efficiency of the sport for all movement and that the increase in the functions and roles of the local governments will help to mobilize the local resources and community-based sport for all movement. Finally, it suggests the strong partnership relationships between the civil sectors and the government, and between the local and the national governments based upon mutual trust and cooperation.

Objectives : Pneumoconisis and noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) have been reported as main occupational diseases by the Special Health Examination. The Industrial Accident Compensation Insurance has reported various work-related diseases, however, these two diseases occupied almost a half of compensated cases. Therefore, it was not well known about the status of occupational diseases other than pneumoconiosis, NIHL, and cardio-cerebrovascular accident (CVA). This study was conducted to analyze claimed cases as an occupational disease, that was requested to the Korea Industrial Safety and Health Agency (KOSHA). Methods : The local office of the Korea Labor Welfare Corporation (KLWC) has asked the KOSHA for confirmation of claimed cases as an occupational disease. We analyzed 379 cases requested from KLWC, the Ministry of Labor, employers, unions and occupational health agencies from 1992 to 1999. Results : Male was 80.7 % of the requested cases. Their mean age was 42 years old and 75.5 % of them were more than 35 years old. The requested cases were increased rapidly from 25 cases in 1992 to 108 cases in 1999 and the accept rate was 50.7 %. The majority of requested cases were respiratory diseases(22.4%), cancers(18.5%), Neuropsychiatric problems(14.5%), and musculoskeletal problems(13.5%). The accept rate was high in reproductive, respiratory, musculoskeletal and digestive disorders and low in neuropsychiatric, renal and otologic problems and occupational cancers. 73.6% of them were caused by chemical agents, especially 28.5 % were by organic solvents. 67% of them were clinically confirmed at university hospitals. A half of the cases were from KyongIn area, even the request came from the whole country. Conclusions : A claim was common in workers whose age was over 35 years old and exposure history was over 10 years. The respiratory diseases and neuropsychiatric disorders were still main problems in occupational health and occupational cancers was increasing even though its accept rate was not high yet.

Biotransformation of major ginsenosides in ginsenoside model culture by lactic acid bacteria

Park, Seong-Eun,Na, Chang-Su,Yoo, Seon-A,Seo, Seung-Ho,Son, Hong-Seok The Korean Society of Ginseng 2017 Journal of Ginseng Research Vol.41 No.1

Background: Some differences have been reported in the biotransformation of ginsenosides, probably due to the types of materials used such as ginseng, enzymes, and microorganisms. Moreover, most microorganisms used for transforming ginsenosides do not meet food-grade standards. We investigated the statistical conversion rate of major ginsenosides in ginsenosides model culture during fermentation by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) to estimate possible pathways. Methods: Ginsenosides standard mix was used as a model culture to facilitate clear identification of the metabolic changes. Changes in eight ginsenosides (Rb1, Rb2, Rc, Rd, Re, Rf, Rg1, and Rg2) during fermentation with six strains of LAB were investigated. Results: In most cases, the residual ginsenoside level decreased by 5.9-36.8% compared with the initial ginsenoside level. Ginsenosides Rb1, Rb2, Rc, and Re continuously decreased during fermentation. By contrast, Rd was maintained or slightly increased after 1 d of fermentation. Rg1 and Rg2 reached their lowest values after 1-2 d of fermentation, and then began to increase gradually. The conversion of Rd, Rg1, and Rg2 into smaller deglycosylated forms was more rapid than that of Rd from Rb1, Rb2, and Rc, as well as that of Rg1 and Rg2 from Re during the first 2 d of fermentation with LAB. Conclusion: Ginsenosides Rb1, Rb2, Rc, and Re continuously decreased, whereas ginsenosides Rd, Rg1, and Rg2 increased after 1-2 d of fermentation. This study may provide new insights into the metabolism of ginsenosides and can clarify the metabolic changes in ginsenosides biotransformed by LAB.

Carcinoma of the mouth accounts for approximately 5% of all carcinomas occurring in man. Carcinoma of the oral cavity develops as a result of invasion of malignant epithelial cells through the normally intact basal cell layer into subcutaneous and submucosal tissuse. The sofe palate and uvula may be involved in oral cancer but are not common sites. Early lesions of soft palate carcinoma appear as red, white, or mixed changes in the mucosa. The earliest symptom is mild sore throat. Advanced lesions interfer with swallowing and may cause a voice change. Although surgical method of soft palate carcinoma is successful, prognosis is relatively poor to swallowing and speech problem. Occasionally marginal recurrence may be developed. This article reports a case of squamous cell carcinoma occurred unusually in the soft palate and uvula. The case was treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy, local radicalexcision and postoperative irradiation. Patient was followed up for 2 years. There was no tumor recurrence. The overall result including function was satisfactory.

Arterial stiffness is an important, independent determinant of cardiovascular risk. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) has been used as a valuable index of arterial stiffness and as a surrogate marker for atherosclerosis. Chunghyul-dan (CHD) has anti-hyperlipidemic activity, anti-inflammatory activity and anti-atherogenic effects. To determine its clinical effect on increased arterial stiffness, we examined whether CHD improves arterial stiffness in patients with increased brachial-ankle PWV (baPWV). Thirty-five subjects with increased baPWV (> 1400 cm/sec) were recruited and randomized to a treatment group (20 subjects) or a control group (15 subjects). The treatment group was administered CHD at a dose of 600 mg three times a day for 8 weeks, and the control group received no medication (observation only). baPWV was assessed using a pulse pressure analyzer at baseline and after 8 weeks. Blood pressure and serum lipid profile were monitored in the treatment group. Our results indicate that baPWV was lowered significantly in the treatment group after 8 weeks of medication (p < 0.05), but not in the control group. Moreover, there were no significant changes in blood pressure and serum lipids profile except triglyceride level suggesting that the effect is largely independent of CHD's lipid-lowering effect or a blood pressure change. In conclusion, CHD appears to improve arterial stiffness in patients with increased PWV.
