According to the regulations of the Korean Animal and Plant Quarantine Agency (QIA), offals include a greater diversity of internal organs than do those of other nations. The present study was conducted to investigate the microbiological quality of diverse edible offal products from pig and cattle slaughterhouses in Korea by performing aerobic plate counts (APCs) and E. coli counts. There were significant differences in E. coli values between red offal and white offal in both pigs and cattle. Significant differences in APCs were also observed between partial red offal and white offal of pigs (P < 0.05). However, no significant differences in APCs between red offal and white offal of cattle. The most frequently detected foodborne pathogen was Staphylococcus aureus (5.6% prevalence in pig offal and 12.5% % prevalence in cattle offal) followed by Clostridium perfringens (11.1 and 7.1%, respectively) and Salmonella (5.6% and 7.1%, respectively). None of the offal samples tested positive for E. coli O157:H7.

목적 : 본 연구는 만성뇌졸중 환자에게 휴대전화를 이용한 원격재활이 상지운동기능, 균형감각과 일상생활활동 수행능 력에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 연구방법 : 발병 2년 이상 경과된 만성뇌졸중 환자 20명을 무작위 할당을 통해 실험군(10명)과 대조군(10명)으로 구분 하였다. 실험군과 대조군 모두에게 자가운동프로그램을 주 5회, 총 8주간 실시하였다. 자가운동프로그램과 함께 실험 군에는 휴대전화를 이용한 원격재활 중재를 적용하였으며, 대조군에는 스스로 확인할 수 있는 일일점검표를 제공하였 다. 중재 전·후 대상군들의 기능을 측정하기 위해 Fugl-Meyer 평가 척도, 버그균형검사, 상자와 나무토막 검사, 운동 활동지표, 수정된 바델지수를 사용하였다. 결과 : 휴대전화를 이용한 원격재활 중재가 제공된 실험군은 상지기능, 균형감각 및 일상생활활동 수행능력에서 유의하 게 향상된 반면(p<.05), 대조군에서는 유의한 변화를 보이지 못했다(p>.05). 또한 중재 전·후의 변화량, 수행도와 만 족도 모두 대조군에 비해 실험군에서 통계적으로 유의하게 높은 것으로 나타났다(p<.05). 결론 : 본 연구는 휴대전화를 이용한 원격재활이 만성뇌졸중 환자의 상지기능, 균형감각 및 일상생활활동 수행에 효과적 임을 지지하며, 국내 임상적 상황에서 원격재활의 가능성을 제시하였다.

This study is based on specimens which had been collected from Jeollabuk-do, Chungcheonbuk-do and Gyeonsangnam-do provinces in July 1994 through September 2009. As a result of this study, Cunaxa potchensis and C. mageei were identified and newly recorded from Korea.

β-Hydroxy-β-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase(HMG-CoA reductase, E.C. 1.1.1.34) is known to be rate-limiting enzyme in cholesterol biosynthesis. HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor is very useful in the remedy or precaution of hyperlipidemia. The methanol extracts of Pholiota adiposa ASI 24018 showed the highest HMG-CoA reudctase inhibitory activity of 55.8%. The HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor of Pholiota adiposa ASI 24018 was maximally extracted when it was treated with methanol at 30℃ for 12hrs. After purified the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor by systematic solvent extraction, LH-20 gel column chromatography and RP-HPLC, finally obtained the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor with an activity of IC50 6.8ug. Molecular weight of the purified HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor was 765.4Da by LC-Mass, NMR, FT-IR, UV spectrometry.
