Chronic hypoxia is a major cause that increases neonatal mortality in the perinatal period. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptors induced by hypoxia are increased blood vessel permeability in the developing central nervous system and characterized as a critical factor in angiogenesis and vasculogenesis. This study investigated the development of the rat cerebellum with expression of VEGF and its receptors under chronic hypoxia in compare with normoxia. In addition, this study can contribute to the understanding of the effect development in the postnatal cerebellum. Rat pups were divided into two groups, normoxia and hypoxia group. The cerebellum of 35-day-old rat was removed and prepared for immunofluorescent staining. After staining, the sections were observed under the fluorescent microscope and were taken the picture using the microscopic-digital camera system. Expression of VEGF and Flk-1 restricted only to Purkinje cells, but feline sarcoma virus-like tyrosine kinase-1 (Flt-1) did not express in all of cerebellar layers. Under chronic hypoxia, expression of VEGF and fetal liver kinase-1 (Flk-1) increased in Purkinje cells but no changes in case of Flt-1. These results suggest that the source of VEGF and Flk-1 is Purkinje cells in the cerebellum. And increase of VEGF and Flk-1 expression in the murine cerebellum results from adaptive responses to chronic hypoxia.

The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of manipulation on the velocity of cerebral blood flow and level of pain in cervicogeinc headache patients. The velocity of cerebral blood flow of 30 cervicogeinc headache patients(male=15, female=15, age=24.00±3.60) and 33 normal subjects(male=15, female=18, age=23.27±3.00) was compared. The 30 cervicogeinc headache patients were divided into suboccipitalis relaxation group, cervical manipulation group, and placebo group, and each were given different interventions. The velocity of cerebral blood flow and pain level was measured before intervention, and 1, 2, 3 weeks after intervention. The velocity of cerebral blood flow was measured with the Transcranial Doppler(TCD), and pain level was measured with visual analog scale(VAS). Blood flow velocity of middle cerebral artery in cervicogeinc headache patients was slower than those in healthy subjects. Physical therapy intervention did not have significant effect on velocity of cerebral blood flow, but slowly decreased at intervention for pain level increased. The suboccipitalis relaxation group and cervical manipulation group showed significant effect in decreasing pain level compared to the placebo group(p＜.05). Directly applied manipulation therapy in the neck area not only has effect on joint of cervical and soft tissue but also on blood vessels and nerves which pass the neck area, and because of those results of manual therapy seems to help recovery.

단축 압출 성형기를 이용하여 쌀을 원료로 한 스낵을 제조하기 위하여, 반응 표면 분석 방법(response surface methodology : RSM)을 도입하여 제조 조건의 최적화를 시도하였다. 수분함량, 스크류 회전속도, 배럴의 온도를 변수로 하여 전단강도, 팽화율, 수분 용해도 지수, 수분흡수지수, 호화도 등의 결과를 RSM 컴퓨터 프로그램에 입력하여 contour map을 적성하여 분석하였다. 쌀 압출 성형물의 최적 제조조건은 수분함량 17%, 배럴의 온도 125℃, 스크류 회전속도 210rpm으로 추정되었다.

단백질 가수분해물의 항산화 작용을 해명하기 위하여 고등어 근육단백질을 이용하여 복합효소, alcalase, bromelain, pancrease, pepsin, α-chymotrypsin, trypsin 및 papain으로 가수분해시키고 linoleic acid와의 모델반응을 통하여 이들 가수분해물의 항산화능과 α-tocopherol과의 상승작용 및 아미노산 조성, Bio-gel P-2 column에 의한 활성획분의 분리 및 획분별 항산호능과 금속이온 봉쇄작용 등을 살펴본 결과, 8가지 효소에 의한 고등어 근육단백질 가수분해물의 항산화능은 우수한 것으로 나타났으며, 특히 복합효소, bromelain 및 alcalase에 의한 가수분해물의 항산화능이 다른 효소에 의한 경우에 비하여 다소 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 이들의 α-tocopherol과의 상승작용 및 금속이온(Fe^3+, Cu^2+)에 의한 산화촉진 억제효과 또한 우수한 것으로 나타났으며, 아미노산의 조성은 전반적으로 aspartic acid, glutamic acid 및 lysine의 함량이 높은 것으로 나타났다.

The granitic rocks in the southern part of the Kyeongsang basin, Korea, are divided into seven masses based on the petrographical features. They are generally characterized by shallow-depth intrusions. The chemical compositions of amphibole and biotite from the granitic rocks show systematic variations in Fe/(Fe+Mg) ratios as well as Mn and F contents. Hornblende geobarometer indicates low pressure condition (less than 2.3 kbar) at the time of final crystallization of hornblende crystals. The composition of biotite indicates that oxygen fugacity has been almost buffered during crystallization regardless of rock types. The oxygen fugacity is presumably close to the value of Ni-NiO buffer. From the Fe-Ti oxide geothermometry, it seems likely that most of the Fe-Ti oxides have been re-equilibrated during cooling and have suffered oxidation under subsolidus condition.

In the present study, an attempt was made to investigate the effect of stearic acid on the autoxidation of the commercial rice bran oil. Rice bran oil samples with stearic acid at 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5% level were kept at 45±0.3℃ for 40 days. The rate of autoxidation of each samples was estimated regulary on the basis of the changes of peroxide value, acid value, anisidine value and the fatty acid composition. The results were as follows : The peroxide, acid and anisidine values of the rice bran oil with the stearic acid at 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5% levels during the autoxidation increased as compared with that of the rice bran oil without the stearic acid. The induction period of the rice bran oil without the stearic acid, control was 19.8 days, while those of the bran oil with stearic acid at 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5% levels varied 19.0 days, 17.7 days and 14.2 days, respctively. In conclusion, it seemed that stearic acid acted as weak prooxidant when added at 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5% levels to the commercial rice bran oil. The prooxidant activity of the stearic acid appeared to depend on the oxidative mechanism and their concentration.
