A six-year-old male Pekinese dog was referred to the Veterinary Medical Center, Chungbuk National University because of intermittent vomiting, anorexia, alopecia, and pruritus. Generalized alopecia, pigmentation, and papular erythema in the skin were observed on physical examination. Hematological studies indicated a severe pancytopenia and hypoalbuminemia. A hormone analysis indicated a hyperestrogenemia. A circumscribed mass, measuring approximately 3-4 cm in diameter, was observed on abdominal radiographs. Grossly, the cryptorchid testis was enlarged by a firm and white spherical mass, measuring approximately 3 cm in diameter, which, on its cut surface, was creamy white with hemorrhage. The normal scrotal testis was markedly atrophic and soft. Histologically, the intra-abdominal cryptorchid testis contained abundant fibrous tissue stroma and the stromal tissues were arranged in a tubular pattern in which the neoplastic cells tended to palisade. The cells had poor and pale eosinophilic cytoplasm streaming into the center of the tubules. The nuclei were round to oval and tended to be in a basilar location. Regions of hyperplasia and marked squamous metaplasia were observed in many areas of the prostate. Based on the histological findings, we were able to identify these masses as Sertoli cell tumors, and made a final diagnosis as Sertoli cell tumors through immunohistochemistry methods using inhibin-α, vimentin, and neuron-specific enolase.

본 연구에서는 확산에 의해 발생하는 시멘트 방벽의 변질 과정을 반응성용질이동 모델링을 통해 장기간 동안 예측하고자 하였다. 모델링 결과 50,000년 후 시멘트의 변질은 30cm까지 진행되었다. pH는 13.0에서 11.86까지 감소하였으며 이는 알칼리 이온의 감소, 포틀랜다이트(portlandite)와 CSH (Calcium Silicale Hydrate)광물의 용해/침전반응에 의해 결정되고 있었다. 공극률 또한 portlandite와 의 용해에 의해 가장 큰 영향을 받고 있었으며 최고 약 0.3 점도 증가하였다. 우라늄의 용해도 역시 증가하고 있었으며 이는 pe의 증가에 기인하고 있었다. 본 연구 결과는 장기간의 시멘트 변질이 pH, pe, 공극률을 변화시킴으로서 핵종의 이동을 증가시킬 수 있음을 보여주고 있다.

Background : study of long yam and short yam (Dioscorea. opposita) are cultivated in temperate regions but tropical yam (Dioscorea alata) are mainly grown in Africa and sub-tropical regions cultivated crops. Recent tropical yam cultivation area of Korea increased but lack the proper cultivation techniques to climate warming. This study was conducted to elucidate the effect of the timely harvest on Tropical yam at 2015 in Institute of Bioresources Research, GBARES. Methods and Results : Tuber of tropical yam were cut as 40 g, and dust-coating sterilized with lime. Seedlings were grown in heating wire installed seed bed from 11. March to 16. May. Experimental field were fertilized 2,000 kg compost, 34 kg N2, 28 kg P2O5, and 28 kg K2O. All amount of compost and P2O5 treated as basal fertilizer. N2 and K2O treated 14 and 10 kg of basal fertilizer, and 20 and 18 kg of additional fertilizer, respectively. Tillage, covering black PE film with 60×25 cm spacing holes on 120 cm row were conducted. Emergence days from 6. April to 18 May until 28 days to 36 days but 15. June and 9. June were each 19 and 7 days. Dry weigh in early stage due to seedling date, while seedling date according from 6. April to 18. May had no difference. seedling date was not effective on total number of tuber but number of marketable tuber (over 200 g). Marketable tuber number of seedling date according to 20. April was increased 35~132% as 4,028 number per 10 a. And tuber with 20. April was 13~73 g heavier. Tuber yield and marketable tuber yield of seedling date as affected by 20. April were respectively 2,518 and 1,273 kg per 10 a compared to 6. April and from 4. May to 15. June as 1,743~2,457 kg and 484~1,027 kg. Conclusion : Tropical yam is low temperature in the cultivation of Korea but also adverse environmental conditions. Frost is not mature enough off before harvesting. Yam had significant increased marketable tuber (over 200 g) yield due to seedling in mid-April Requires cultivation technology.
