본 논문은 유비쿼터스 의료를 위한 의료영상의 무선전송의 개발을 목적으로 한다. 컴퓨터 시스템의 발달로 인해 의료 장비와 의료 기록 체계에 대한 많은 변화가 일어났다. 그 중 병원내의 진료 및 의무 기록을 자동화하고 관리하는 HIS(Hospital Information System) 시스템과 환자에게서 촬영된 영상에 대한 관리 체계인 PACS(Picture Archiving Communication System)은 대표적인 예라할 수 있다. 이러 한 자동화된 진료 시스템은 병원 내에 있지 않을 경우 이용이 곤란하며, 응급상황이나 의사 부재시에 신속한 영상 판독이 요구되는 경우 이를 즉시 수행하기는 곤란하였다. 이러한 이동에 따른 단점을 보완 하기 위하여 각 의사마다 지급된 PDA를 사용하여 병원내의 영상 획득 장치로부터 생성된 환자 영상을 원격에서 CDMA 망을 사용하여 검토할 수 있는 시스템을 구현하였다. 이를 위하여 의사 및 환자의 계 정 관리와 환자 영상을 영상획득 장치로부터 수신 받아 각 의사별로 할당하도록 하는 서버 시스템을 구 현 하였으며, PDA를 사용하여 서버에 접속하여 환자의 영상을 검토할 수 있도록 구현하였다. 개인별로 시스템 사용에 대한 인증을 위하여 PDA에서는 데이터베이스 RDA(Remote Data Access) 방식을 사용 하여 서버 데이터베이스를 엑세스하였으며, 환자 영상을 서버로부터 다운로드 하기 위하여 FTP(File Transfer Protocol)를 사용하였다. 실험 결과 한 파일의 크기가 0.37Mbyte 인 832x488*24 영상 30매를 보낸다고 가정하였을 때 약 90초 정도의 시간이 걸렸으며 이는 긴급히 또는 원격에서 영상의 수신과 검 토에 문제가 없음을 나타낸다.

High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used for the analysis of chiisanoside in each stem and root of Acanthopanax senticosus collected from South Korea, North Korea, China and Russia. A reverse-phase system using a gradient of H2O and acetonitrile as the mobile phase was developed and detection was at 210nm. The analysis was successfully carried out within 30 min. Chiisanoside was measured in the stem and root of A. senticosus collected from various countries.

The study was conducted to evaluate the performance of the popular isoflavone-rich soybean 'agakong' in upland and in drained-paddy fields. Analysis revealed no significant variation in terms of plant height, number of seeds per pod, number of nodes, and 100-seed weight between the two cropping system. Number of pods was significantly higher in paddy field(234.2kg 10a-1) compared to those harvested in the upland field, which was later manifested on the yield where paddy soybeans obtained 278.1kg 10a-1 whereas upland only obtained 179.3kg 10a-1. This observed difference in yield was attributed to the observed higher amount of N in the paddy soil (0.907%) as compared to the upland soil (0.458%). In terms of nutritional content, protein and phytic acid contents were the only parameters that showed significant differences while oil, sugar, reducing power and fatty acids were all comparable in paddy and filed condition. Protein content was higher in upland soil (47.4%) than that of the paddy (44.9%) soil. On the opposite, phytic acid was higher in paddy (2.90%) than in upland (1.09%). This study showed that the yield of soybean is generally a factor of soil N, drained-paddy field production of soybean is comparable to upland-filed production with the benefit of increasing phytic acid content while maintaining its nutritional value.

벤토나이트의 분산/응집 거동은 시추이수의 성능에 큰 영향을 줌으로 주요 관심의 대상이 된다. 본 연구에서는 상업적으로 활용되고 있는 3종의 벤토나이트[2종의 CMC (carboxy-methyl cellulose)처리 벤토나이트와 1종의 무처리 벤토나이트]에 대하여 pH와 염분농도가 다른 용액에서의 분산/응집 특성을 분석하였다. 또한, 벤토나이트 현탁액의 점성 변화를 시추용 이수의 유동학적 측면에서 검토하였다. 벤토나이트의 분산/응집 거동은 비색분석법과 광분산법의 두 방법으로 측정되었으며, 광분산법으로 침전된 입자의 직경과 침전속도도 검토하였다. 벤토나이트의 종류와 수질에 따라 분산/응집 거동은 다양하게 나타났다. 초기 10분 동안에 모든 종류의 벤토나이트는 좋은 분산 특징을 보여주나, 이후에 CMC를 함유한 벤토나이트들은 다소 응집되는 특성을 보여주었다. 염수에서는 모든 시료들이 응집되는 특성을 보이여 응집속도는 염의 농도와 폴리머의 농도에 따라 변화하였다. 침전된 응집물의 부피는 염의 농도가 증가됨에 따라 감소하였다. 용액의 pH는 시료의 분산/응집 거동에 주요한 영향을 미치며, 응집 속도와 응집입자의 직경은 용액의 pH가 감소함에 따라 증가하였다. 반면에, 침전된 응집물의 부피는 pH가 증가됨에 따라 증가하였다. 응집 속도가 빠른 벤토나이트 분산용액은 점성이 낮았다. 다양한 환경에서 벤토나이트를 시추이수용으로 적용하고자 할 경우, 본 연구의 결과들은 유용한 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

The genetic diversity among the genus Viola was evaluated using the random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) method. A total of 142 distinct amplification fragments by 18 random primers were scored to perform the cluster analysis with UPGMA. Viola species from the subsection Patellares were clustered into group I to IV. The groups from I to IV were consistent with its morphological taxonomy, series Pinnatae, Chinensis, Variegatae, and Patellares in the subsection Patellares, respectively. Even though V. albida and V. albida var. takahasii were classified in Chinensis, they were assigned into group I. The cluster analysis separated other subsections from Patellares in the section Nomimium. Interestingly, V. verecunda and V. grypoceras in subsections Biobatae and Trigonocarpae, respectively, were clustered into group C with a high similarity coefficient. Therefore, RAPD analysis can be used for providing an alternative classification system to identify genotypes and morphological characters of Viola species.

Nitrate reductase deficient (NR) mutant lines were selected indirectly by their resistance to 100mM chlorate in cell cultures of P. parviflora. A total of 585 chlorate resistant lines were confirmed by a second passage on a high concentration of chlorate. Frequency of spontaneous mutation was 9.7×10-7 in 3 month old suspension-cultured cells, and in non-selective media containing amino acids as sole nitrogen source. The frequency of mutation could be increased up to 11-fold by culture for 12 months. Out of 40 randomly selected calli, 22 were fully deficient in NR. The rest of the clones contained a decreased level of NR activity. Further characterization was carried out in 13 mutant lines which were fully deficient in NR and in 5 mutant lines containing residual (0-7.0%) NR activity, as compared to wild-type cells cultured on the same medium. The NR- mutants were tentatively classified as defective in the NR apoenzyme (nia-type; 11 mutant lines including the 5 with residual NR activity) or in the molybdenum cofactor (cnx-type; 7 mutant lines) by the XDH activity. The cnx-type could be further classified into two groups. In one group (5 mutant lines) of these, the NR activity could be partially restored by nonphysiologically high (1.0mM) molybdate in the culture medium. Both types of NR- mutants were unable to grow on minimal medium containing nitrate as sole nitrogen source, but grew well on amino acids. They also proved to be extremely sensitive to the standard medium (MSP1) containing nitrate and ammonium. Shoot regeneration was obtained only in the NR- mutants, which contained residual NR activity, but they so far have failed to grow into plants.

Mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) is an increasingly important human food source, as well as a new functional agent, mainly due to its potent antioxidant activity. This study was conducted to determine antioxidant activity of fractions from mung bean seeds by measuring DPPH radical scavenging activity and to quantify the flavonoids by means of HPLC analysis. Vitexin and isovitexin were present in both ethanol and water extracts in highest amount. Flavonoids, vitexin and isovitexin were quantified from 195 germplasms of mung beans and their concentrations varied by 4.7 fold. Especially, the breeding line KM99004-4B-2 (Suwon28/KM94004), which has grown in Jeollanamdo Agricultural Research and Extension Services, showed the highest amount (15.88 mg/g) of total flavonoids. The vitexin portion was averaged 70.73±1.38%. High positive correlation (r=0.96***) between vitexin and isovitexin contents showed. However, the flavonoid content showed very low correlation with the 24 growth and ecological characteristics. Seed coats of mung beans had the highest flavonoid amount, showing 50~70 times more than cotyledons. Flavonoid contents in the seed, the cotyledon, and the seed coat were decreased as the seed imbibition time increased.

The present study examined the effects of Schizandra chinensis extract on the serum lipid composition and the antioxidant of rats in which obesity was induced through high fat diet. Fifty male Sprague-Dawely rats weighing 163.91±4.17g on the average were adjusted to basic diet and laboratory environment and were fed with high fat diet freely for 6 weeks to induce obesity. Forty rats, the final weight of which was 400g, were selected and were divided into a control group(C), treated groups(T I ; body weight of 100mg/kg, TII ; 150mg/kg and TIII ; 200mg/kg), 10 heads of similar weight for each, and test breeding was performed for 4 weeks. During the test breeding, all treated groups were fed with basic diet and difference in intake among the treated groups were maintained to be less than 5%. According to the result, the quantity of Triglyceride in serum was lower in all of the groups treated with Schizandra chinensis than the control group, but the difference was not significant except the treated group of 200mg (P〉0.05). The quantity of Total cholesterol in serum was significantly lower in all the groups treated with Schizandra chinensis than in the control group (P〈0.05) but differences according to the quantity of Schizandra chinensis applied were not observed. The quantity of HDL-cholesterol was not significantly different among all the groups including the control group (P〈0.05) and no regular tendency of change in the quantity was observed according to the quantity of Schizandra chinensis applied. The quantity of LDL-cholesterol was lower in all the groups treated with Schizandra chinensis, but the treated group of 100mg was not significantly different from the control group. The quantity of TBARS in serum was lower in all the groups treated with Schizandra chinensis than in the control group (P〈0.05), but no regular tendency of change in the quantity was observed according to the quantity of Schizandra chinensis applied. The quantity of liver TBARS was not significantly different among all the treated groups (P〉0.05). The levels of glutathione peroxidase activity (GSH-Px), superoxide dismutase activity (SOD) and catalase activity were higher in all the groups treated with Schizandra chinensis treated group than in the control group (P〈0.05), and the treated group of 200mg showed the highest activity among the treated groups.
