Opioid receptors have been pharmacologically classified as µ, δ, κ and ε. We have recently reported that the antinociceptive effect of morphine (a µ-opioid receptor agonist), but not that of β-endorphin (a novel µ/ε-opioid receptor agonist), is attenuated by whole body irradiation (WBI). It is unclear at present whether WBI has differential effects on the antinociceptive effects of µ-, δ-, κ- and ε-opioid receptor agonists. In our current experiments, male ICR mice were exposed to WBI (5Gy) from a 60 Co gamma-source and the antinociceptive effects of opioid receptor agonists were assessed two hours later using the hot water (52℃) tail-immersion test. Morphine and D-Ala2,N-Me-Phe4,Gly-ol-enkephalin (DAMGO), [D-Pen2-D-Pen5]enkephalin (DPDPE), trans-3,4-Dichloro-N-methyl-N-[2-(1-pyrrolidinyl)- cyclohexyl]¬benzeneacetamide (U50,488H), and β-endorphin were tested as agonists for µ, δ, κ, and ε-opioid receptors, respectively. WBI significantly attenuated the antinociceptive effects of morphine and DAMGO, but increased those of β-endorphin. The antinociceptive effects of DPDPE and U50,488H were not affected by WBI. In addition, to more preciously understand the differential effects of WBI on µ- and ε¬opioid receptor agonists, we assessed pretreatment effects of β-funaltrexamine (β-FNA, a µ-opioid receptor antagonist) or β-endorphin1-27 (β-EP1-27, an ε-opioid receptor antagonist), and found that pretreatment with β-FNA significantly attenuated the antinociceptive effects of morphine and β endorphin by WBI. significantly reversed the β-EP1-27 attenuation of morphine by WBI and significantly attenuated the increased effects of β-endorphin by WBI. The results demonstrate differential sensitivities of opioid receptors to WBI, especially for µ- and ε-opioid receptors.

본 시험은 2007년부터 2008년까지 2년간에 걸쳐 충남 천안, 경북 영주, 전북 김제에서 여름 사료작물인 사일리지용 옥수수를 파종하여국내 육성품종인 광평옥과 도입품종간의 생육특성 및 수량성에 대한 기초자료를 얻고자 실시하였다.연구결과 도입품종 사일리지용 옥수수 중에서 Cap444NG 품종이 녹색도가 우수하고 생초수량이 61,111 kg/ha이고 건물수량이 20,635kg/ha로 최고의 수량을 보였다. 또한 사료가치에 있어서도 조단백질 함량이 7.9%로 양호한생육특성을 보였다.

본 연구는 부존 조사료자원 이용으로 수입사료를 줄이고 사료비를 절감하고자 2010년도에 전남 해남(간척지), 강원 평창(강변), 원주(섬강변), 전남 영광(와탄강변) 등 4개 지역에서 갈대와 억새 등 야초 자생지를 탐색하고,수확 이용실태 조사와 함께 사료가치를 분석하였다. 전남 해남 해남목장 내 갈대(Phragmitescommunis) 위주의 야초 자생지는 300 ha로 예년에는 2회 곤포작업하여 연간 사일리지로2,300~2,500톤(ha당 8톤)을 생산하였으나 2010년도는 1회 곤포조제로 사일리지 2,000톤(ha당7톤)을 생산하였다. 유통가격은 롤 당 53천원으로 kg당 110원이었다. 곤포는 전량 자가소비하며, 외부 작업단에 롤 당 26천원의 작업비를지불하였다. 연간 조수입은 2억 2,260만원이며,소득은 1억원 수준(345천원/ha)이었다. 초장150 cm의 갈대는 조단백질 8.4%, 상대사료가치71.9 (건초 5등급), 건물 소화율 60.1%로 사료가치는 볏짚에 비해 약간 나은 것으로 평가되었다. 갈대 사일리지의 사료가치와 유기산 함량은 동일 지역에서 동일한 재료로 사일리지를조제하더라도 수확시기에 따라 차이가 컸으며(CP 4.7~6.4%, RFV 62.2~78.9, 건물 소화율41.9~53.9%), 갈대 사일리지의 품질은 수단그라스에 비해 불량하였다. 강원 평창 강변 자생갈대의 사료가치는 초장이 79, 117, 121, 142cm로 생육이 진행됨에 따라 낮아져, 조단백질은 각각 13.9%에서 7.6%로, 상대사료가치는90.7 (건초 3등급)에서 76.1 (건초 4등급)로, 건물 소화율은 72.9%에서 54.7%로 감소하였다.원주 섬강 주변 야초류는 곤포수확 작업에 어려움이 있었으며, 초장 130 cm의 갈대는 조단백질 8.5%, 상대사료가치 82.3 (건초 4등급), 건물 소화율 70.2%로 사료가치는 높았으며, 220cm의 성숙한 갈대는 조단백질 10.2%, 상대사료가치 65.1 (건초 5등급), 건물 소화율 48.9%로볏짚 대비 조금 나은 것으로 평가되었다. 전남영광지역에서는 와탄천 주변에 자생하는 갈대를 수거 이용하고자 시도하였으나 경제성이 없어 중단하였다. 이상의 결과를 종합하여볼 때,갈대, 억새 등 야초류는 현 상태에서 최대한수거 이용하되, 사료가치를 유지하고 가축 기호성이 양호한 시기에 수확하는 것이 중요하며, 최소한 볏짚과 비슷하거나 그 이상의 사료가치를 기대하기 위해서는 7월 중순 이전(늦어도 7월까지)에 수확 이용하는 것이 권장된다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of handicraft activities on hand promptness and grasp in the elderly. Subjects were comprised of 14 senior citizens between the ages of 70-85, with 7 subjects in the experiment group and 7 in the control group. Subjects in the experiment group practiced various handicrafts twice a day, while those in the control group did not participate in any special activity. The Jebsen Taylor Hand Function Test was used to evaluate the results, while a dynamometer and pinch gauge were used to measure hand promptness and grasp. The 7 senior citizens in the experiment group were able to increase their hand promptness and grasping skills. Conclusively, handicrafts can help improve hand promptness and grasp in the elderly. Furthermore, the development and improvement of such skills can have a positive influence on the daily lives of senior citizens. Such skills are expected to improve the overall neuro-function in the elderly population.

legumes and rye on paddy field at the experimental field of Jeollanam-Do Agricultural Research and Extension Services from 2004 to 2008. The five treatments used in this experiment were rye mono (C.V. Koolgrazer), rye+chinese milk vetch mixture, rye+crimson clover (C.V. Linkarus) mixture, rye+forage pea (C.V. Austrian pea) mixture, rye+hairy vetch (C.V. Oregon Common) mixture. The dry matter (DM) percentage at harvest was 23. 0～25.3%. The DM percentage among rye single and mixture treatments were similar. The yields of fresh and crude protein (CP) were high in Italian ryegrass (IRG)+Forage pea mixtures as a 50,370 kg and 1,177 kg per ha. And the yields of dry matter were high in IRG+forage pea was at mixtures as a 12,390 kg/ha. The Av. P2O5 in IRG+forage pea mixture was 85 ㎎/㎏. In conclusion, the mixture cultivation of rye and forage pea was very effective

The majority of strokes are caused by ischemia and result in brain tissue damage, leading to problems of the central nervous system including hemiparesis, dysfunction of language and consciousness, and dysfunction of perception. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase(PARP) on necrosis in neuronal cells that have undergone needle electrode electrical stimulation(NEES) prior to induction of ischemia. Ischemia was induced in male SD rats(body weight 300g) by occlusion of the common carotid artery for 5 min, after which the blood was reperfused. After induction of brain ischemia, NEES was applied to Zusanli(ST 36), at 12, 24 and 48 hours. Protein expression was investigated using immuno-reactive cells, which react to PARP antibodies in cerebral nerve cells, and Western blotting. The results were as follows: In the cerebral cortex, the number of PARP reactive cells after 24 hours significantly decreased(p<.05) in the NEES group compared to the GI group. PARP expression after 24 hours significantly decreased(p<.05) in the NEES group compared to the GI group. As a result, NEES showed the greatest effect on necrosis- related PARP immuno-reactive cells 24 hours after ischemia, indicating necrosis inhibition, blocking of neural cell death, and protection of neural cells. Based on the results of this study, NEES can be an effective method of treating dysfunction and improving function of neuronal cells in brain damage caused by ischemia.

This study was performed to investigate the effects of Needle Electrode Electrical Stimulation(NEES) on ischemia-induced cere˗ brovascular accidents. After obstruction and reperfusion of arteries in white mice, the amounts of necrosis and inflammation related sub˗ stances Bax, IL-6, Caspase-3, and COX-2 were measured in neurons of the fore-brain. The following results were obtained. This study used 21 male specific pathogen free(SPF) SD rats, 8 weeks of age and approximately 300g in weight. Each exposed artery was completely occluded with non-absorbent suture thread and kept in that state for 5 minutes. The sutures were then removed to allow reperfusion of blood. Test group is control group(common carotid artery occlusion models), a GI(underwent common carotid artery occlusion), and NEES(underwent NEES after artery occlusion). The GI and NEES groups were given 12, 24, or 48 hours of reperfusion before NEES. NEES device(PG6, ITO, Japan, 9V, current, 2Hz) was used to stimulate the bilateral acupoint ST36 of the SD rats for 30 minutes while they were sedated with 3% isoflurane. An immuno-his˗ tochemistry test was done on the forebrains of the GI induced rats. Both Bax and Caspase-3 immuno-reactive cells, related to apoptosis, were greater in the GI than the NEES group. Cox-2 and IL-6 immuno-reactive cells, related to inflammation, were greater in the GI and NEES groups than the control group. We can expect that applying NEES after ischemic CVA is effective for preventing brain cells from being destroyed. And we can conclude NEES should be applyed on early stage of ischemic CVA.

본 연구는 조사료원으로 청보리 사일리지 급여시 농후사료 급여수준이 육성기 흑염소의 가소화 영양소 섭취량, 영양소 이용율 및 질소 축적율에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 시험구는 4처리구 (볏짚+농후사료 체중의 2.0%, 청보리 사일리지 + 농후사료 체중의 2.0%, 체중의 1.5%, 체중의 1.0%)로 나누어 처리구당 3두씩 라틴방각법으로 시험을 실시하였다. 시험기간 동안의 1일 두당 가소화 조단백질 섭취량은 대조구, 청보리 사일리지에 농후사료를 각각 체중의 2.0과 1.5% 급여구가 농후사료를 1.0% 급여구 보다 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). 가소화 NFC 섭취량은 청보리 사일리지와 농후사료를 체중의 2.0% 급여구가 가장 높았고, 농후사료를 1.0% 급여구가 가장 낮았다 (p<0.05). 일당 증체량은 청보리 사일리지+농후사료 2.0%, 청보리 사알리지+농후사료 1.5%, 볏짚+농후사료 2.0%, 청보리 사일리지+농후사료 1.0%, 순으로 유의하게 낮아졌다(p< 0.05). 건물소화율은 청보리 사알리지와 농후사료를 1.5% 급여구가 대조구 보다 유의하게 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 질소축적량은 대조구와 청보리 사일리지에 농후사료를 각각 체중의 2.0과 1.5% 급여구가 농후 사료 1.0% 급여구보다 유의하게 높았다(p<0.05). 이러한 결과를 종합적으로 고려할 때 청보리 사일리지를 조사료원으로 급여시 육성기 흑염소의 생산성과 효율적인 영양소 이용을 위한 농후사료 급여수준은 1.5%가 적정한 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구는 동계사료 작물과 혼파한 총체보리 사일리지를 흑염소에 급여하였을 때, 샤료섭취량, 일당증체량, 영양소 소화율 및 질소 축적율에 미치는 영향을 조사하여 흑염소에 대한 혼파 총체보리의 사료가치 평가 자료로 활용하는데 목적을 두고 실시하였다. 공시가축은 흑염소 12두(♂)를 4처리구 {총체보리 단파 사일리지 첨가구(T1), 헤어리베치 혼파 사일리지 첨가구 (T2), 사료용 완두 (forage pea) 혼파 사일리지 첨가구 (T3) 및 이탈리안 라이그라스 혼파 사일리지 첨가구(T4)}로 나누어 처리구당 3두씩 개체별 대사케이지에 라틴방각법으로 실시 하였으며 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1일 두당 건물과 유기물 섭취량은 IRG 혼파 사일리지 첨가구가 총체보리 단파 및 사료용 완두 혼파 사일리지 첨가구보다 유의하게 높았으며 (p<0.05), 조단백질 섭취량도 IRG 혼파 사일리지 첨가구가 가장 높았다(p<0.05). ADF와 NDF 섭취량은 IRG>HV> 총체보리 단파>사료용 완두 혼파 사일리지 첨가구 순으로 나타났다. 일당증체량은 IRG와 HV 혼파 사일리지 첨가구가 총체보리 단파와 사료용 완두 혼파 사일리지 첨가구보다 유의하게 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 건물과 유기물 소화율은 HV와 IRG 혼파 사일리지 첨가구가 사료용 완두 혼파와 총체보리 단파 사일리지 첨가구보다 유의하게 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 조단백질 소화율은 총체보리 단파 사일리지 첨가구가 HV와 IRG 혼파 사일리지 첨가구보다 유의하게 낮게 나타났다(p<0.05). 질소섭취량은 HV와 IRG 혼파 사일리지 첨가구가 사료용 완두 혼파 사일리지 첨가구보다 유의하게 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 이러한 결과를 종합적으로 고려할 때 총체보리와 헤어리베치 혹은 이탈리안 라이그라스 혼파 사일리지 첨가가 사료섭취량, 영양소 소화율 및 질소 축척율 증가로 인해 흑염소의 생산성이 높은 것으로 판단된다.

본 시험은 논에서 벼 대체 여름 사료작물인 수수류를 논 재배하여 생육특성과 수량에서 우수한 품종을 선발할 목적으로 2008년부터 2009년까지 2년간에 걸쳐 충남 천안 농가 포장에서 수행하였다. 도입품종인 수수류 10품종 중에서 ‘Sordan79’는 습해에 비교적 강하고 2차 재생이 잘되며 당도가 높고 병해와 충해에 강한 생육 특성을 보였고 수량 측면에서도 생초수량이 ha 당 92,492 kg, 건물수량이 21,090kg으로 가장 우수한 품종이었다. 따라서 본 연구결과를 토대로 볼 때 중부지역에서 벼 대체 사료작물인 수수류를 논에 재배 할때는 배수가 양호한 논의 선정이 필요하고 수수류 품종 중에서는 ‘Sordan79’를 재배하는 것이 적응성이나 생산성 측면에서 가장 유리하다고 할 수 있다.

This experiment was carried out to know adaptability and forage production and quality of corn and corn + soybean intercropping for silage at paddy field in Chungnam province. growth, forage production and quality of silage corn was higher in case of corn and soybean intercropping than that of corn single planting at paddy field. The height of stem of Kwangpyongok and Sword bean intercropping was somewhat lower than Kwangpyongok single planting and higher at ear height and stem diameter. Fresh yield of Kwangpyongok and Sword bean intercropping was the highest as 45.8 tons per ha among corn monoculture, corn + soybean intercropping. The dry yield of Kwangpyongok and Sword bean intercropping at paddy field was the highest as 20.5 tons per ha among corn monoculture and corn + soybean intercropping. The result of this study showed that 'Kwangpyongok and Sword bean intercropping' had good forage productivity and quality of silage compared with corn monoculture, corn and common bean intercropping.

The experimental work was conducted to investigate the effects of the application level of composted cattle manure (CCM) on forage productivity using whole crop barely (WCB)-whole crop rice (WCR) double cropping system for 3 years. Main plot was consisted of application level of CCM such as 150%, 200% and control plot. The total DMY of forages under WCB and WCR in treatment of CF significantly decreased as compared with that of treatment of CCM 150%. However, NDF, ADF and CP content of WCB and WCR were hardly influenced by CCM application.

Field research was undertaken to determine how barley + legume mixtures influence nitrogen fixation and N transfer to barley. Barley + legume (main plot) and 4 different sowing rate was the experiment design. Isotope dilution was used to estimate N₂ fixation and subsequent transfer to barley. Botanical composition of legume was from 1.6% to 13.9% when harvest. Legume N derived from atmosphere ranged from minus value to 58percentage in whole plant N. N transfer amount to barley varied from 12.11㎏ to 7㎏ by different method.

In this study, we conducted to select the promising crops for both uses in the bioethanol and forage production in Korea. The result indicated t㏊t Natsukaje (guinea grass), Gwangpyeongok (corn), Jumbo (sorghum×sudangrass hybrid), SS405 (sorghum×sorghum hybrid), Millex32 (pearl millet), Jeju barnyard grass), Alamo (switch grass) and Selection75 (klein grass) showed the production of biomass from the highest to the lowest in order. However, the order of the production of quality forage was, from the highest to the lowest, Natsukaje (guinea grass), Jumbo (sorghum×sudangrass hybrid), SS405 (sorghum×sorghum hybrid), Gwangpyeongok (corn), Millex32 (pearl millet), Selection75 (klein grass), Jeju (barnyard grass), and Alamo (switch grass). We concluded the Natsukaje (guinea grass) was the best bioethanol crop, and also the Natsukaje (guinea grass) was the best for forage production.

This experiment was conducted to evaluate forage yield and feed value of warm season grass in subtropical area. The species having the fastest heading date was bermudagrass 'ecotype' (24th April) while the heading date of bahia grass 'Argentine' was the latest as 13th August. Plant height and dry matter of switch grass was the highest. Dry matter yield of switch grass was usually greater t㏊n the other entries in Jeju and Wando. Bermudagrass cultivars had higher CP concentration t㏊n the other entries. NDF and ADF concentration in switchgrass was higher t㏊n in bermudgarss and bahiagrass cultivars.

Although whole crop barley are now widely grown as a silage crop in Korea, but silage quality of the whole crop barley produced from farmer's fields have not been published. Therefore, this experiment was conducted to evaluate forage quality of whole crop barley which was participated in Korean quality contest in 2008. These data were classified by region, forage production, added inoculants, planting date and harvest date. Difference on lactic acid of barley silage was detected in the region (p＜0.05), however, there no significant differences in other chemical composition. The moisture and lactic acid were significant differences in dry matter yield of barley silage. There is all the difference between silage added inoculants and control. Differences between planting dates in ash and crude protein (CP) were detected in barley silage (p＜0.05). From comparison within harvest date, lactic acid ㏊d significant differences among barley silage. Differences in forage quality were observed among whole crop barley for silage. Therefore, nutritional quality as well as lactic acid is important in silage quality contest of whole crop barley.
