목적 : 건성안의 핵심적인 원인으로 염증이 제시됨에 따라 본 연구에서는 한국 20대 성인을 대상으로 콘택트렌즈 착용 및 각막굴절교정술이 염증성 건성안(inflammatory dry eye syndrome)에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 방법 : 안질환이 없는 20대 성인 81명(162안)을 대상으로 염증 생체지표인 ‘기질금속단백분해효소’(MMP-9: Matrix Metalloproteinase-9)의 활성도와 염증성 건성안 감별진단법으로 제시된 ‘안구표면질환지수(OSDI, Ocular Surface Disease Index)/결막충혈’ 검사법으로 염증성 건성안을 감별진단하였다. 각막굴절교정술 및 콘택트렌즈 착용 여부에 따른 유병률과 위험요인은 χ2-test 검정과 하였고, 위험비(odds ratio, OR)는 로지스틱 회귀분석으 로 검정하였으며 유의수준은 0.050 이하로 하였다. 결과 : 전체 대상자의 염증성 건성안 유병률은 MMP-9 검사, ’OSDI, 결막충혈’ 검사 기준 각각 77.15%, 64.31% 로 나타났다. 콘택트렌즈 착용군의 염증성 건성안 비율은 검사법 기준으로 각각 85.23%, 75.00%로 미착용군의 67.57%, 52.70% 보다 높았고, 염증성 건성안 발생 가능성이 2.77배(OR 2.77, 95% CI 1.29~5.99), 2.69배 (OR 2.69, 95% CI 1.39~5.23)로 높게 나타났다. 각막굴절교정술을 받은 군의 염증성 건성안 비율은 검사법 기준 각각 81.25%, 75.00%로 수술을 받지 않은 군의 76.71%, 63.69%보다 높았으나 통계적으로 유의한 차이는 아니 었다(p=0.682), (p=0.370). 결론 : 20대 한국 성인의 염증성 건성안 비율은 매우 높고, 콘택트렌즈를 착용한 경우에 염증성 건성안의 발병 확률은 미착용안에 비해 2배 이상 높은 것으로 나타나 콘택트렌즈 착용자의 경우 이를 예방하기 위한 콘택트렌즈 관리교육이 중요할 것으로 생각된다.

목적 : 본 연구에서는 우세안 검사법 중 하나인 Hole-in-the-card법을 이용하여 우세안을 검출하고 대비도에 따른 우세안 및 비우세안의 시력을 비교해 보고자 하였다. 방법 : 안과적 질환이 없는 20대 성인 남녀 60명을 대상으로 Hole-in-the-card법을 시행하였고, 100% 고 대비시표와 10% 저대비시표를 이용하여 각 대비도에서의 시력을 측정하여 비교하였다. 결과 : 대상자의 우세안과 비우세안의 평균 고대비시력(대비도 100%)은 각각 0.07±0.05 logMAR, 0.11±0.13 logMAR이며, 평균 저대비시력(대비도 10%)는 평균 저대비시력의 각각 0.31±0.09 logMAR, 0.27±0.08 logMAR로 고대비시력은 우세안이 비우세안에 비해 우수하게 측정되었고(p=0.049), 저대비시력은 비우세안이 우세안에 비해 더 우수하게 측정되었다(p=0.003). 고대비시표와 저대비시표에서 같은 방향의 눈의 시력이 우수하게 측정된 경우의 양안의 시력 차는 0.16±0.23 logMAR였고, 고대비시표와 저대비시표에서 우수하게 측정 된 눈의 방향이 달라진 경우의 양안의 시력 차는 0.05±0.00 logMAR로 나타났다. 결론 : 우세안은 비우세안에 비해 고대비시력이 우수하게 측정되었지만 고대비에서 양안의 시력 차이는 저대비 시력에 영향을 줄 수 있으므로 교정 시 환경 및 시생활의 목적에 따라 반드시 고려해야 할 것으로 사료된다.

The effects of stigma removal from floral organ and treatment of auxin on those regions were evaluated on the fruit growth and quality in strawberry (Fragaria ananassa Duch.). The removal of stigma reduced the fruit weight, fruit length, and fruit width, while fruit growth declined as the number of removed stigma increased. The removal of stigma also resulted in reduced fruit firmness, sugar content, and total anthocyanin content, and decreased value of Hunter a for red color and increased value of Hunter b for yellow. The number of seeds deceased as the regions of removed stigma increased. The treatment of auxin on the region of removed stigma improved fruit size, while it reduced fruit firmness, sugar content, and anthocyanin content. The delay in fruit ripening was observed from both stigma removal and auxin treatment. The incidence of malformed fruits increased as the regions with removed stigma increased. The treatment of auxin also promoted fruit malformation.

The conductive polymer composites recently became increasingly to many fields of industry due to their electrical properties. To understand these properties of composites, electrical properties were measured and were studied relatively. Electrical conductivity measurements showed percolation phenomena. Percolation theories are frequently applied to describe the insulator-to-conductor transitions in composites made of a conductive filler and an insulating matrix. It has been showed both experimentally and theoretically that the percolation threshold strongly depends on the aspect ratio of filler particles. The critical concentration of percolation formed is defined as the percolation threshold. This paper was to study epoxy resin filled with copper. The experiment was made with vehicle such as epoxy resin replenished with copper powder and the study about their practical use was performed in order to apply to electric and electronic industry as well as general field. The volume specific resistance of epoxy resin composites was 3.065~13.325 in using copper powder. The weight loss of conductive composites happened from 350℃~470℃.

This study is carried out in order to develop food materials for the promotion of rice consumption. In this study, we researched the physicochemical properties of extruded rice flour (ER) and gelatinization popped rice flour (GPR) by the extrusion process and by the popped method with milled rice and brown rice. The extrusion process used a couple of screw extruders. The extrusion parameter was kept constant at a feed moisture content of 25%, barrel temperature of 120℃ and screw speed of 400 rpm. GPR was prepared by batch popping machine after gelatinization of rice. In order to evaluate the physicochemical properties of ER and GPR, as well as the gelatinization rate, water soluble index (WSI), water adsorption index (WAI), DPPH radical scavenging activity and total dietary fiber content, the color value was carried out. The gelatinization rate was similar to 71.1～73.8%. Further, the results of WSI and WAI were increased at ER and GPR compared to the raw materials; ER was also higher than GPR. DPPH radical scavenging activity and total dietary fiber content showed a tendency to reduce after extrution and popping. As a result of the color value, the L value of ER decreased more than the raw materials, whereas GPR increased at a and b values.

Korea. Two kinds of jochung products were prepared from steamed rice(SR) and wet-milled rice flour(WRF) by rice cultivated from 2006 to 2010. It is common to add a liquefying enzyme for rice liquefaction(4 ㎖/1, 000 g rice, at 90～95℃, 3 h) and saccharogenic enzyme with malt(45 g/1, 000 g rice, at 55～57℃, 6 h). In order to evaluate the quality characteristics of jochung, producing rate, pH, solidity, reducing sugar, dextrose equivalence(D.E.), viscosity, total phenolic compound, color value and sensory evaluation were carried out. In terms of the producing rate of jochung, WRF jochung was produced about 7.4% much more than SR jochung. There was no difference in producing rate between the jochung cultivated from 2006 to 2010 rice. The pH varied from 4.86～5.66, solidity was 79.48～82.28%. Color L value was 25.82～27.92, a value of 1.28～2.81, b value were 2.98～4.33. The results of sensory evaluation for jochung, as a whole, received higher score than for the commercial product(Daesang Co., Ltd, Seoul, Korea), overall acceptability score was the highest in the 2008SR. Reducing sugar, dextrose equivalence(D.E.) and total phenolic compounds were determined to be higher WRF jochung than SR jochung, while viscosity was lower WRF jochung than SR jochung. These results are thought to be due to increased surface area of rice by milling. SR jochung manufacturd by wet-milled rice flour will increase the producing rate for jochung, thereby saving manufacturing time and costs.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of different active gluten and rice Nuruk(Asp. oryzae, Asp. kawachii rice Nuruk) levels on the quality properties of steamed rice breads. Enzyme(amylase and acidic protease) activity of Asp. oryzae rice Nuruk is higher than Asp. kawachii rice Nuruk. Among the loaf volume of active gluten that were tested (10, 13, 15 and 17%) an active gluten loaf volume of 15% produced the best steamed rice bread. As a result of the loaf volume test steamed rice bread with rice Nuruk was decreased than steamed wheat bread. Regarding color, all treatments produced significant differences. The L value was decreased in steamed rice bread more than in steamed wheat bread, and a and b values were increased, respectively. Hardness, gumminess and chewiness of SRB-2, 3, 4 were lower than SWB-1 but springiness were higher. According to the sensory evaluation of steamed rice bread, color, flavor, and uniformity of pores were the highest in the steamed wheat bread, and the chewiness and texture were good in the steamed rice bread containing added active gluten and rice Nuruk. In this study, addition of rice Nuruk in steamed rice bread did not increase loaf volume, but had an advantage for overall desirability.

This study was conducted to investigate changes in seed vigor based on temperature of dry heat and duration treatment of watermelon seeds and examine the effect on percent of emergence and seedling vigor. When the upper limit temperature of dry heat treatment was raised to 80℃, the percent of the germination decreased. Moreover, T50 was delayed as the upper limit temperature of dry heat treatment increased. The higher the upper limit temperature of dry heat treatment and the longer the treatment period, the higher the percentage of abnormal seedlings. The optimum upper limit temperature for dry heat treatment was 72℃, and the treatment period was five days. Seed vigor was better maintained at 30℃, 45℃, and 52℃, followed by stepwise exposure to high temperatures of 72℃, the upper limit of dry heat treatment, rather than dry heat treatment at a high temperature of 72℃ for 5 days from the initial stage of treatment. When the fungicide was added during the dry heat treatment process, the germination percentage decreased and the percent of the abnormal seedling percentage increased. However, the addition of 10 mg/kg fungicide did not significantly reduce seed vigor.

The aim of this study was to determine the optimum level of carbon dioxide to maximize the quality and yields of strawberries cultivated in a greenhouse. Specifically, two strawberry cultivars, namely, ‘Seolhyang’ and ‘Maehyang’, were subjected to varying concentrations of carbon dioxide and patterns linked to their productivity were noted. Both cultivars showed improvements across various physical variables (i.e., leaf area, crown diameter, plant height, fresh weight, and dry weight) when carbon dioxide concentrations were at 1,500 ppm. The optimum carbon dioxide concentration for increased fruit yields and quality was 1,000 ppm. When carbon dioxide was at 1,000 ppm the yields of ‘Seolhyang’ and ‘Maehyang’ increased by 1.99 and 1.78 times, respectively, compared to control plants. The influence of carbon dioxide on fruit color was negligible. However, the carbon dioxide increased the sugar content and sugar-acid ratio of the experimental fruits compared to control plants. Specifically, the sugar-acid ratio, which is directly related to taste, was at its highest when the concentration of carbon dioxide was at 1,000 ppm (i.e., for both ‘Seolhyang’ and ‘Maehyang’). Overall, the application of carbon dioxide culminated in improved yields and fruit quality for both cultivars of interest.

The purpose of this study was to identify for extenders, adhesives, colorants, and fungicides suitable for the production of high-quality film-coated seeds of Chinese cabbage. In addition, the effect of various additives used for film coating on the germination of coated seeds and seedling vigor was investigated to establish appropriate treatment conditions for film coating efficiency. The germination rate and germination speed in Chinese cabbage film-coated seeds did not differ significantly depending on the type and concentration of the extender, while the use of Talc resulted in superior granulation capacity and adhesion of the seed coat in comparison to Zeolite. There was no significant difference in the germination rate depending on the type of adhesive used for film coating of Chinese cabbage seeds, but the germination rate was slightly slower in the film-coated seeds using carboxymethyl cellulose as an adhesive. On the other hand, the seeds coated with a film using 1% PVA as an adhesive not only maintained hardness enough to withstand external pressure, but also showed a high germination rate. In addition, the suitable disinfectant for film coating was venoram, and the treatment concentration was good at 250 mg·L-1. The type of colorant used in the film-coated seeds of Chinese cabbage did not significantly affect the germination rate, germination speed, and seedling vigor. The seeds film-coated using the liquid colorant were superior in appearance to the seeds film-coated with the solid colorant, which implies the possibility of reduction in the manufacturing costs by using the water-soluble paints as colorants for film-coated seeds.

This study was carried out to establish optimal conditions for breaking dormancy of Agastache rugosa O. Kuntze seeds. A series of experiments according to seed maturity and treatment with plant growth regulators were performed to improve germination percentage and synchronize germination of the seeds. In addition, it was conducted to test whether the useful effect of seed treatment before sowing leads to healthy seedling and early vigorous growth. The average seed size was 1.85 mm (length) x 0.82 mm(width). The seed size was much smaller than other vegetable seeds. Seeds colorappeared dark brown, the shape of the seeds was oval and the weight of 1,000seeds was 352.8 mg. The optimum germination temperature was 22℃. Light exposure during germination did not affect germination promotion, suggesting that A. rugosa seeds are a kind of dark germinating seeds. Seed dormancy lasted for 40 days after harvesting, and GA3 treatment of dormant seeds could break dormancy. There were significant differences in germination percentage and rate according to the maturity of seeds. The germination percentage of mature seeds was 10 – 18% higher than that of immature seeds, and germination rate was 2 days faster. GA3 treatment during growth regulator treatment improved germinability, but BAP or ethephone treatment did not. The optimal growth regulator concentration of for germination was the combination treatment of 100 mM GA3 ＋ 100 mM BAP.
