목적 : 본 연구의 목적은 경남 지역 전 학령기 아동의 시지각 능력에 대한 기초 자료를 제공하고 표준화 연구의 필요성을 제시하는 것이다. 연구방법 : 2013년 9월 27일부터 2014년 2월 28일까지 김해 소재의 C도서관과 창원 소재의 B도서관과 J 도서관에서 만 4세~6세 아동 60명(남아 30명, 여아 30명)을 대상으로 Motor Free Visual Perception Test-3 (MVPT-3)를 사용하여 아동의 시지각 능력을 평가 분석하였다. 결과 : 연령별 시지각 능력의 평균과 표준편차는 4세가 23.0±2.18, 5세가 25.4±3.02, 6세가 31.2± 3.46이었으며, 아동의 시지각 능력에 있어 연령 간 유의한 차이가 있었고(p=.000), 성별과 주거 지역 간 에는 각각 유의한 차이가 없었다(p=.580, p=.205). 교정연령과 시지각 연령 간에는 유의한 상관관계를 보였고(r=.783, p=.000), 원점수, 표준점수, 시지각 연령은 모든 연령의 아동에서 평가도구 개발대상인 미국 아동에 비해 높게 나타났다. 결론 : 본 연구의 전 학령기 아동은 같은 연령의 평가도구 개발 대상인 미국 아동에 비해 시지각 능력이 높게 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 MVPT-3을 사용한 평가와 해석 시 아동의 시지각 능력을 해석하기 위한 기초 자료로 사용될 수 있을 것이다. 또한 앞으로 아동의 객관적인 시지각 평가와 보다 명확하고 의미있는 MVPT-3의 해석을 위해 우리나라 아동을 대상으로 한 표준화 연구가 필요하다.

국내에서 생산하고 있는 Nylon 6 망사의 원사는 대부분 일본에서 수입하여 제망해서 수출하고 있다. 그러나 우리가 수입하고 있는 원사중 어느 회사의 원사가 우수한지 또한 염색 가공후의 망사의 성질변화에 대하여서는 그다지 알려져 있지 않으며 그뿐만 아니라 같은 Nylon 6 망사라 할지라도 제조 공정에 따라 망사의 성질이 달라질 수 있으므로 저자들은 일산 Nylon6 망사를 가지고 염색전과 후의 강신도와 염색후의 수축등을 시험 비교해 보았다. 특히 망사는 수중에서 사용되기 때문에 습윤시의 인장 강도와 신장이 겁습에 비해 어떻게 변화하는가를 관찰하였다.

For the purpose of reuse the wasted by-products from the skate process to the health functional food or medicinal material, chondroitin sulfate was extracted from the skate cartilage with the method of hydrolysis with protease enzyme, and the contents of chondroitin sulfate and hydrolyzed protein were measured qualitatively and quantitatively. The effects of chondroitin sulfate on body weight or liver weight changes, hepatotoxicity elimination and anti-inflammatory actions were measured from in vivo test with feed-treated mice. From the hydrolytic extraction of skate cartilage with the mixture of 1% alcalase and 1% protease for 4 hours, the extraction yield of chondroitin sulfate was about 32.55%. The content and molecular weight of chondroitin sulfate was 26.63% and 2.85×105 Da., respectively and the content ratio of chondroitin sulfate to protein was measured to 1 to 2.76 with gel permeation chromatography. For the odor component, trimethylamine decreased about 30% but almost not ammonia from chondroitin sulfate with the treatment of activated carbon. From the feeding chondroitin sulfate to mice, the control effect of body and liver weights decrease was measured, anti-inflammatory action and hepatotoxicity elimination action were also measured. From these results, process operation conditions for manufacturing of chondroitin sulfate were suggested.

The aim of this study was to investigate and development collagen peptide materials from skate skin. Protein and fat content of collagen peptide showed about 95% and 0.1%, respectively. Average molecular weight of collagen peptide was measured as 1,015. In the analysis of amino acid, glycine and hydroxy proline content in collagen peptide was 19.32% and 16.25%, respectively, showing a typical characteristics of the collagen peptide. In obese db/db mice ingested 500 mg/day of collagen peptide for 18 days, the amounts of food and water intake were decreased considerably, contents of triglyceride, total cholesterol were decreased significantly in white adipose tissue of db/db mice. The final yield of collagen peptide was 17.23% in the optimized process for mass production. These results indicate that collagen peptide from skate skin may serve as candidates of fat reduction in adipose tissue and could be used as functional food and cosmetic ingredients.

In manufacturing of flatfish skin collagen peptide (FSCP) and flatfish protein hydrolysate (FPH) by reuse of dead flatfish from fish farm in Jeju island, the industrial process was optimized with the laboratory scale research and the on-field process. Segmented unit processes from raw material incoming to shipment were established to produce commercial product of FSCP and FPH. Total plate counts of FSCP were twenty five times of FPH, but food poisoning bacteria were not detected in two samples. FSCP and FPH were safe from heavy metal such as Pb(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II). The residual contents of antibiotics and disinfection matter in FSCP and FPH were not detected. The optimized process for mass production made the one-third of the running time and two times of the yield. From economic analysis, the production cost was estimated to 22,000 and 12,000 won/kg for FSCP and FPH, respectively. Therefore the product from the reuse of dead flatfish was expected to have a considerable competitive price and high added-value functional food material compared with other commercially available fish products.

To develop the protein materials by the reutilization of dead flatfish from fish farms in Jeju island, the physicochemical characteristics and the functional activities of collagen peptide extracts were investigated. Flatfish skin collagen peptide (FSCP) and flatfish protein hydrolysate (FPH) were manufactured from dead flatfish. The differences of pH, moisture and fat contents between FSCP and FPH were not significant, fat contents were analyzed less than 0.3%, and trans-fat, saturated fat and cholesterol were not detected in both samples. Protein contents of FSCP and FPH showed about 92% and 95%, respectively. In the analysis of amino acids, glycine and hydroxy proline content in FSCP was 24.22% and 6.15%, respectively, showed a typical characteristics of the collagen protein, but essential amino acids contents such as threonine, valine, methionine, isoleusine, leusine and phenylalanine were relatively higher than those of FPH. Average molecular weight of FSCP was measured as 1,102 which was almost equal value with that of tuna collagen peptide. The antioxidant activities and functional properties showed high but did not show significant difference between two samples.
