Today, energy bars are consumed not only as snacks but also as meal replacement foods. Convenience and nutritional supplementation are the main factors accounting for the increasing use of energy bars. Two hundred Chinese customers who attended the China Fisheries & Seafood Exposition in China, and had no inhibitions about consuming cereal bars were selected. The questionnaire was composed of CATA choices that selected both the reasons for liking and disliking four different types of cereal bars, namely topokki flavor (hot pepper paste), seaweed flavor, kimchi flavor, and ginseng flavor cereal bars with 10% of dried anchovy content produced by BadaOne Co. (Seoul, Korea). The purpose of the study was to investigate Chinese consumer’s attitudes and acceptance of different flavored cereal bars containing protein and calciumrich anchovy. For the selected Chinese customers, the acceptance score for the seaweed flavor was the highest, followed by topokki, red ginseng, and kimchi. The acceptance for the topokki flavor was higher than for seaweed for the attributes of color except for general acceptance, flavor, aroma, and texture. The results of the survey showed that the acceptance of kimchi was the lowest, contrary to earlier predictions. The results of the Check All That Apply (CATA) analysis showed that the reasons for liking the seaweed & anchovy flavor were the most diverse, and there was no reason chosen for disliking this flavor. The reasons for liking this flavor were listed as sweet flavor, healthy, seafood flavor, malty flavor, texture, new/unique, and umami. In the case of topokki and kimchi, the reason for disliking the flavor was umami, and in the case of red ginseng, the ginseng flavor was the reason for both likes and dislikes. CA analysis showed that both the flavor and emotional factors were positive for seaweed & anchovy and topokki, but negative for red ginseng. As a result, seaweed & anchovy flavor, which is familiar to the Chinese people, should be the first cereal bar considered for a launch.

An 8-year-old, spayed female Maltese dog was presented with a one-month history of erythema, swelling and alopecia of periocular region with pruritus. The skin lesions were first detected at the age of three years, but this was the first time that symptoms had appeared in the eyes. Physical examination revealed markedly swollen and erythematous eyelids and conjunctiva including Meibomian glands. In addition, periocular alopecia and tears were identified. Slit lamp microscopy revealed erythema of conjunctiva and swelling of Meibomian glands. The Schirmer’s tear test was normal. Impression smear cytology of eyes revealed sterile neutrophils and corneal epithelial cells. There were no virus or bacterial infections in the eyes. On skin examination, generalized erythema was detected but there were no other skin lesions. A case of allergic blepharoconjunctivitis associated with canine atopic dermatitis was diagnosed based on history taking and skin examination. Treatment included cetirizine, cyclosporine, prednisolone and Forus eye drops®. The owner was instructed to wear an Elizabethan collar around his dog's neck at all times and restrict walking. And the diet was changed to hypoallergenic dog food. Medications and environmental restrictions significantly reduced erythema, edema and swelling of meibomian glands. Pruritus was also decreased. Six weeks later, the edema lesions of eyes disappeared.

본 연구는 Acacia baileyana와 A. dealbata 종자의 휴면타 파와 수분흡수를 토대로 발아특성을 구명하여 대량으로 번식 시킬 수 있는 체계를 확립하고자 수행하였다. 휴면을 타파시키기 위하여 nicking 처리 및 열탕 처리를 하였다.또한 각 처리 별로 염료추적을 통하여 수분흡수 부위의 양상을 알아보았다. A. baileyana의 경우, nicking 처리는 무처리구(20.0%)에 비해 85.3%의 가장 높은 발아율을 보였으며, 80℃의 60분 열 탕 처리도 무처리구(18.0%)에 비해 76.0%의 높은 발아율을 보였다. Nicking 처리 후 절단면에만 vaseline 을 도포한 처리 와절단면을 포함한 종피 전체에 vaseline 을 도포한 처리 모두에서는 전혀 발아가 이루어지지 않았으며 열탕 처리 전이나 후에 종피 전체에 vaseline 을 도포한 처리에서도 전혀 발아하지 않았다. 높은 발아율을 보인 nicking 처리와 80℃의 60분 열탕 처리에서 수분흡수율이 높게 나타났고 흡수 초기에 급격하게 수분이 흡수되는 경향을 보였다. A. dealbata에 있어서 가장 높은 발아율은 80℃의 5분 열탕 처리에서 100%로 나타났으며 nicking 처리에서도 96.5%의 높은 발아율을 보였다. 대조구, nicking 처리 후 절단면과 종피 전체에 vaseline 을 도포한 처리 등의 종자는 발아하지 않았다.

절화장미 삽목묘 대량생산 효율을 높이기 위해 국내 육성 절화장미 ‘엔틱컬’(Rosa hybrida ‘Antique Curl’)을 대상으로 생장 활력이 높은 단경삽목묘 주요 절위를 분석하였다. 화경으로부터 순서대로 5매엽 이상을 가진 마디 6개를 삽목(6 절위, Level 1~6)하여 온실과 생장환경조절실에서 각각 30일간 관리 하였다. 그 결과, 삽목 절위가 기부 쪽으로 내려갈수록 발근율과 액아 생장이 억제되었고, 삽수 잎의 황화 및 낙엽 현상이 조기에 나타났다. 잎의 탄수화물 함량은 발근과 신초발아율에 영향을 주지 않았다. 온실환경에서 1~3 절위, 생장환경조절실 에서 1~2 절위의 생장이 가장 우수하였고, 모두 4절위까지는 정상적인 생장을 보였다. 결과적으로 상업용 장미 시설 생산에서 대량삽목번식을 할 때 화경으로부터 5매엽을 가진 네번 째 마디(level 4)까지 가능할 것으로 확인되었다.
