today's dairy production management systems, reproductive efficiency affects the income of any farm by influencing overall milk production, genetic gain, amount of replacement heifers, and wise cullling decisions. Nutrition, management, and genetics play a major role achieving this maximum herd-reproductive performance. Several reports using trace minerals on the diet of cattle have shown reproductive effects. The main justification for using blocks, to provide deficient nutrients is, therefore, their convenience for packaging, storage, transport and ease of feeding. Dairy cattle are annually exposed to prolonged periods of elevated humidity and heat which reduce feed intake and reproductive performance. The objectives of the present study were to evaluate the effects of mineral on reproductive performance of dairy cows during Summer. The experimental group of cows had access ad libitum to the mineral lick in the following composition : Zn, Fe, Mn, Cu, I, Co, Se. Environmental heat load was described using the THI (temperature humidity index) because thermoregulation in cows is affected by both Temp and RH. The THI was calculated: THI=(0.8×Temp)+[RH×(Temp— 14.4)]+ 46.4. All cows were monitored for estrus twice daily in the morning and late afternoon. And any animal found in estrus was artificially inseminated. Pregnancy diagnosis was performed via ultrasonography at 45 to 70 d after insemination. The visitation and intake of mineral were higher with the maximum THI. The mean intake of mineral block was 23.1 kg in Summer and 17.7 kg in other seasons. The reproductive performance was considerably improved by mineral supplementation. The factors influencing consumption of mineral mixtures include: soil fertility and forage type, available energy and protein, individual requirements, salt content of the water, palatability of mineral mixture, availability of fresh minerals and physical form of minerals. These results show that minerals have a great impact on animal's reproductive physiology.

The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation among bone mineral density(BMD), body composition and body circumference on 20's college women in Hwaseong. A total of 86 subjects were measured with BMD and body composition and body circumference. To evaluate the correlation between BMD and body composition, bone density and body weight, body mass index(BMI), lean body mass, muscle mass, fat mass and body fat mass were compared. The results of this study, weight was considered the strong correlation with BMD than the height and BMI seems to be greater significance rather than the lumbar spine and femur BMD. In addition, the relationship between body composition and BMD, lean body mass, muscle mass, body fat mass were the most relevant factors and BMD. The relationship between BMD and body circumference that have been difficult because of not enough previous studies but somewhat the study showed that association.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect and correlation of anthropometric data, eating behaviors, and nutrient intake on the bone mineral density(BMD) of female college students. 349 female college students were surveyed and their age, height, and weight were an average of 20.5 years, 163.2 ㎝ and 54.0 ㎏, respectively. Their average BMI was 20.2, with 66% falling in the normal range, 21.8% classified as underweight, 8.0% as overweight, and obese individuals comprised 3.4% of the sample by BMI classification. Calcaneal BMD was measured and the average T-score was 0.117. The results of BMD measurements were normal in 268 people(76.8%), osteopenia was found in 71 individuals(20.3%), and osteoporosis in 10(2.9%), respectively. There was a significant difference in bone mineral density according to height(p<0.05) and BMI (p<0.01). There were significant differences between BMD and eating behavior, regularity of eating behaviors(p<0.05), instant food intake(p<0.05), eating out(p<0.05) and nutritional supplement intake(p<0.05). In addition, normal the group with normal BMD had a more desirable eating behavior compared to the osteopenia and osteoporosis afflicted groups. BMD had a significant difference according to the nutrient intake of calcium(p<0.05), vitamin A(p<0.05), and vitamin C(p<0.05). In conclusion, BMD showed a good correlation with height(p<0.01), BMI(p<0.01), body composition including total body water(p<0.05), FFM(p<0.05), body protein(p<0.05) and intake of calcium(p<0.05), iron(p<0.05), vitamin A(p<0.05), and vitamin C(p<0.05). Therefore, an education plan and training on balanced diets proper body weight control, and desirable eating behaviors for female college students will be needed.

This study investigated mineral element concentrations of acorns in Quercus acutissima and Quercus serrata seed orchard, so that to estimate the variation of these species based on the chemical composition in different clones from plus trees. The acorns were collected from ten clones of each species grown in the same clonal seed orchard. The nutritional concentration of acorns was significantly different between the clones and species. The concentration of nutrient for the whole acorn followed in this general sequence: P > K > Na > Mg > Ca > Mn > Fe > Zn > Cu . The mineral concentrations of acorns in clones of Q. acutissima and Q. serrata contained P (494 to 684 and 541 to 672 mg/100 g), K (114 to 569 and 140 to 251 mg/100 g), Na (57 to 121 and 49 to 85 mg/100 g), Mg (29 to 37 and 26 to 42 mg/100 g), Ca (10 to 53 and 26 to 68 mg/100 g), Mn (0.5 to 3.4 and 1.8 to 4.5 mg/100 g), Fe (0.7 to 1.1 and 0.0 to 2.2 mg/100 g), Zn (0.34 to 0.81 and 0.38 to 0.84 mg/100 g), and Cu (0.13 to 0.40 and 0.09 to 0.34 mg/100 g) respectively. Even though acorns of Q. serrata are smaller in size than Q. acutissima, acorns of Q. serrata contained significantly higher concentration of phosphorus, calcium, iron and manganese than Q. acutissima. Based on the mineral composition of the acorns, this study has shown that the clones of Q. acutissima and Q. serrata have different ability to accumulate mineral nutrients which could indicate the variation of Quercus species in terms of mineral acquisition and accumulation.

본 연구는 온실 내에서 선망 등 유채 6품종과 4계통에 대해 지하수(대조구) 및 해수 염 농도별 처리(해수 EC 4, 8,16 dS m−1)를 통해 염분에 대한 유채의 생리반응과 품종간내염성 차이를 조사하고자 수행 되었다. 해수 염 처리에 따른 유채 경장은 해수 염 농도의 증가에 반비례하였고, 해수 염농도 EC 8 dS m−1 이상 처리구에서 급격히 감소하였다. 종실수량도 염 농도가 높아짐에 따라 급격히 감소하였으며, 염 농도 8 dS m−1 이상에서 종실수량이 비교적 높았던 품종은 탐미유채, 탐라유채, 선망으로 나타난 반면, 내한유채과 목포114호는 종실 수량이 급속히 감소하여 품종간 내염성 차이를 확인하였다. 종자 지방산 조성을 분석한 결과 올레인산 함량이해수 EC 4 dS m−1 처리구에서 소폭으로 증가(0.2~3.4%)를 보이다가 해수 EC 8 또는 16 dS m−1 처리구에서 감소하였다.하지만, 올레인산을 제외한 나머지 지방산 조성에는 큰 차이가 없었다. 해수 염 농도별 처리에 따른 유채 유묘의 무기이온들을 분석한 결과, Na+와 Mg2+ 함량은 급격히 증가하였고,K+는 감소하였다. 식물체 내의 이러한 무기이온의 함량 변화와 토양환경의 높은 염 농도가 유채 생육 억제 및 수량 저하와 밀접한 관계가 있는 것으로 추정된다. 염분 농도가 높은 신간척지에서 작물을 재배하기 위해서는발아기와 생육초기에 내염성에 강하고, 생육후기에 수량성이높은 유채 품종을 선발하여 이용하는 것이 가장 효과적인 대안이다.

The purpose of this study is to examine the changes in bone mineral density in long-stay patients of a geriatric hospital in relation to physical therapy, thereby providing basic data for preventing the onset or deterioration of osteoporosis in inpatients of geriatric hospitals or relevant facilities. The subjects of this study were 133 elderly patients who had been in H geriatric hospital in Yongin-si for more than four years. Their bone mineral density T-scores at admission and those after four years were measured to compare and analyze the changes in bone mineral density in relation to physical therapy. According to the results, the decrease in T-score for the group without physical therapy was greater by .40 than that for the group with physical therapy, indicating a statistically significant difference between the two groups(p<.01). Accordingly, physical therapy proved to be effective in preventing bone mineral density loss and maintaining the current density.

본 연구의 목적은 잘 알려진 광물과 암석의 한국어, 조선어, 영어, 중국어, 일본어 용어의 유래를 분석하는 것이다. 광물과 암석의 영어와 중국어는 모두 표준화되어 있지만, 일본어, 조선어, 한국어 중 일부분은 표준화되어있지 않다. 한국의 많은 연구자들은 이러한 상황을 인식하고 용어를 표준화하기위해 노력하고 있지만, 대부분의 광물과 암석 용어는 연구되지 않은 채 사용되고 있다. 광물 용어는 28가지 지질학적 성질 중 주로 화학 조성, 색, 모양, 물질을 기초로 명명되었으며, 암석 용어는 30가지 지질학적 성질 중 주로 광물 조성, 성인, 물질, 모양을 기초로 명명되었다. 124종의 영어 용어 중 23종이 사람 이름이나 지역 이름에서 기원한 것이고, 동양에서는 오직 3종만이 지역 이름에서 명명되었다. 동양 용어는 동일 영어 용어에 비해 더 복합적인 지질학적 성질로 구성되는 경향이 있다. 복합적인 지질학적 성질을 가진 광물 용어의 경우, 영어는 2종, 동양 용어는 평균 28종으로 동양 용어가 압도적으로 많으며, 암석 용어의 경우, 영어는 5종, 동양 용어는 평균 9.25종으로 동양 용어가 많은 것으로 분석된다. 일부의 한국어 용어는 일본어나 영어 용어를 어떠한 고려도 하지 않고 그대로 반영되었기 때문에 학생들이 이해하기 매우 어렵다. 그러므로 선행적으로 용어의 의미와 적절성에 대해서 논의되어야 한다.

The purpose of present study was to analyze mineral contents in various tissues and investigate theirs relation with bone mineral density (BMD) in rats. Fifteen Sprague-Dawley rats were fed standard diet for 4 weeks. Body weight gain, feed intake, and feed efficiency ratio were 41.00 g/week, 171.15 g/week, and 0.24 respectively. Among 12 minerals in serum, Ca is the highest with 6.86 mg/dl. Serum Mg, Se, and Cu were 2.52 mg/dl, 0.23 mg/dl and 0.22 mg/dl respectively. Mg contents in liver, spleen, and kidney were 246.36 μg/g, 105.01 μg/g, and 273.38 μg/g respectively. Tibia contents of Ca, Mg, Zn, Fe and V were 194.91 mg/g, 23.10 mg/g, 0.60 mg/g, 0.35 mg/g and 0.14 mg/g respectively. BMDs of right tibia and spine were 122.04 mg/cm2 and 153.61 mg/cm2. There were significantly positive correlations between tibia BMD and Se (p<0.05), tibia BMD and V (p<0.01), spinal BMD and V(p<0.05), respectively. It's expected that these results are used as a reference data in following study to elucidate physiological function of minerals.

두 종류의 목질진흙버섯인 P. linteus 와 P. baumii 균주를 가지고 뽕나무, 참나무, 느릅나무 등 3가지 재배원목을 이용하여 자실체를 발생시킨 후 무기물의 함유량을 ICP 법으로 정량하였다. Ca은 2종의 균주 모두 뽕나무에서 발생한 자실체의 함유량이 300 ㎎/100 g 이상으로 참나무나 느릅나무에서 발생한 자실체보다 2~4배 높았으며, K은 2종의 균주 모두 참나무에서 발생한 자실체의 함유량이 600 ㎎/100 g 이상으로 전체 무기물 중 가장 많은 함유량을 보이며 참나무 및 느릅나무에서 발생된 자실체보다 2배 이상 높았다. 특히 Na은 2종 균주 모두 참나무에서 발생된 자실체가 10배 수준 이상 월등히 높게 함유되어 있어서 Ca, K, Na의 함유량 분석이 재배 원목을 구분하는데 매우 유용한 것으로 기대한다. 또한 P. linteus와 P. baumii의 구분에는 linteus는 Fe의 함유량이 참나무 재배 자실체에서 유의성게 높았으며, baumii는 P의 함유량이 참나무 재배 자실체에서 200 ㎎/㎏ 으로 2배 이상 높게 검출되어 Fe와 P의 분석만으로 균주를 구분할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다. P은 2종의 균주, 3종의 재배 원목에서 모두 80 ㎎/㎏ 이상 함유되었으나 다른 버섯류의 무기성분 연구에서는 분석되지 않은 무기물로 목질진흙버섯에만 함유되어 있는지는 앞으로 더 연구가 필요하다고 판단한다. 그 밖의 Cr, Mn, Cu, Zn의 분석으로는 극미량이 함유되어 있어 이들 성분으로는 균주 및 재배원목의 구분이 현실적으로 어려울 것으로 판단되었다. 이상의 결과로 볼 때 ICP를 이용한 무기물 함유량 분석이 P. linteus와 P. baumii 2가지 균주를 가지고 발생된 뽕나무, 참나무 그리고 느릅나무 자실체의 사용균주와 재배원목을 구분하는데 매우 유용한 자료가 될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

본 연구는 고로슬래그미분말 및 실리카흄과 같은 광물질혼화재를 사용한 시멘트콘크리트 포장의 성능에 대한 역학적, 물리적 평가를 수행하였다. 광물질혼화재 사용 시멘트콘크리트 포장의 휨강도, 압축강도, 통과전하량, 염소이온 확산계수 및 초기표면흡수율을 소정의 재령에서 측정하였으며, 그 결과를 기준 콘크리트 포장의 성능과 비교하였다. 실험결과, 광물질혼화재의 종류에 따라 시멘트 콘크리트 포장의 강도거동은 다르게 나타났으며, 대체적으로 실리카흄을 사용한 콘크리트의 압축강도 발현이 다소 우수하게 나타났다. 뿐만 아니라, 콘크리트의 염소이온 확산계수는 기준 콘크리트에 비하여 매우 작은 경향을 나타냄으로써, 이는 광물질혼화재를 사용한 시멘트콘크리트 포장의 우수한 내염성을 다시 한번 확인 할 수 있었다. 도출된 실험결과를 바탕으로 하여, 향후 고성능 시멘트콘크리트 포장 설계를 위한 재료적 기초 데이터를 제시하고자 한다.

Taking vitamin and mineral supplements is increasingly common with the rapid economic growth. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of vitamin and mineral supplement use among adults aged 20 or older from the third Korean National Health and Nutrition Survey data and to explore the effect of sociodemographic and lifestyle factors as well as nutrient intake on taking supplements. People who had participated in both a health questionnaire and a nutritional survey were selected, and 2,871 men and 3,555 women were finally included in this analysis. Both men and women with a higher level of education, those residing in a metropolitan area, and those with higher income were more likely to take supplements. Health behaviors were not significantly associated with taking supplements. Mean nutrient intake of all nutrients except energy intake was not significantly different in men or women taking supplements after adjusting for age, education, marital status, resident area, smoking, and energy intake. Compared to Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) for Koreans, most vitamins and minerals, except vitamin B2 and calcium, were consumed at higher than the Recommended Intake (RI) without supplements. In conclusion, taking supplements such as vitamin B2 and calcium may promote health and prevent disease. However, the type and frequency of other vitamin and mineral supplements consumed should be considered with caution.

A study was conducted to determine the effects of the cattle manure (CM) application on the botanical composition and micro-mineral contents (Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn) of grazing pasture at the experimental field of Livestock Division, Subtropical Animal Experiment Station, National Institute of Animal Science from year 2003 to 2005. The experiment was arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The treatment consisted of T1: 100% chemical fertilizer (CF 100%), T2: 50% CF +50% CM, T3: 25% CF +75% CM, T4: 100% cattle manure (CM 100%), T5: 100% CM (1st yr.)+ 100% CF (2nd yr.) + 100% CM (3rd yr.), T6: 100% CM (1st yr.)+ 100% CF (2nd yr.)+ 100% CF (3rd yr.). The botanical composition of grassland for grass, legumes, and weeds showed that the rate of legumes was increased in all treatments. The weeds rate in T4 was the highest in comparison to the other treatments. For micro-mineral contents T5 showed the highest average Fe contents of 262.08 ppm and T1 showed the lowest (199.20 ppm). Mn contents was the highest in T1 among the other treatments. Zn contents was the highest in T3 as compared with other treatments. Cu contents was the highest in T6 as compared with other treatments. The results of this experiments indicated that micro-mineral contents of change was effect of legumes increased than treatment

The objective of this study was to evaluate the sperm liquid storage diluted with Brine Mineral Water (BMW) in miniature pig. Therefore we performed to find optimal concentration of BMW. The ejaculated semen from miniature pig was collected by gloved-hand method. The collected semen was diluted with dilution solution (Mulberry Ⅲ; modified-Modena B) which BMW was added. Concentration of BMW was 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10 and 12.5% in dilution solution. The diluted semen was preserved at 17℃. Sperm ability was estimated by viability, capacitation acrosome reaction using chlortetracycline (CTC), hypoosmotic swelling test (HOST), morphologic abnormality. The diluted semen was observed for 7 days. The viability was significantly measured higher at 2.5% concentration of BMW than other groups (p<0.05). The AR-pattern of CTC analysis was significantly measured lower at 12.5% concentration of BMW than other groups (p<0.05). However, abnormality was not significantly different among all the groups (p<0.05). In conclusion, viability of sperm was the highest at 2.5% concentration of BMW but BMW had a negative effect on HOST, capacitation and acrosome reaction in sperm of miniature pig.

We surveyed 821 children (ages 12-15 y) in Daejeon city and Cunngcheong province, Korea for their use of vitamin·mineral supplements (VMS), either over-the-counter drugs and/or health functional foods (HFF). We also considered the significant variables of VMS use, including demographic characteristics, health-related variables, eating habits and nutritional beliefs of VMS by subjects. The frequency of VMS use was 24.8% and, in comparison to counterparts, it was higher in subjects attending middle school (p<0.001), in those living in a large city (p<0.001), in those with a high monthly family income (p<0.05), and in those with high concerns about school performance by parents (p<0.01). Selfhealth concerns by subjects (p<0.05) and concerns about health of offspring by parents (p<0.01) were higher in users than in nonusers. Eating habits of subjects did not affect the use of VMS. Users had a more positive view concerning the potential health benefits of VMS than did nonusers (p<0.05). Most users took VMS when they were healthy (78.9%) and expected ‘disease prevention and health maintenance’ (44.6%). However, most users did not feel any special effects from VMS use (58.8%), and they got their information on VMS through family and relatives (53.9%). Users of VMS preferred vitamin C supplements (44.2%) and Ca-supplements (56.9%). Therefore, the results show that VMS use is widely spread among the subjects, and that use of VMS is influenced by multiple variables and subjective criteria. Therefore, practical guidelines on VMS use for children’s health and growth should be given through nutritional education.

The present study was evaluated the antibacterial effect of the combination of Coptidis rhizoma,Lonicerae Flos, and Paeonia japonica (1:1:1) extracts (CLP1000). Also, the effectiveness of CLP1000, dioctahedral smectite (DHS), and the combination of CLP1000 and DHS (CLPS1000) against E. coli O157:H7 infection was studied using ICR female mice. During the incubation period, the dose of 10% and 20% CLP1000 were inhibited the growth of E. coli O157:H7 by 30% and 47%, respectively. For 7 days after single challenge with E. coli O157:H7, forty female ICR mice were divided into four experimental groups which were orally administered with saline, 10% CLP1000, 10% DHS, and 10% CLPS1000, respectively. On the 3rd day, the number of E. coli O157:H7 in mouse feces was significantly decreased by administration of CLP1000 (p < 0.05), DHS (p < 0.05) and CLPS1000 (p < 0.001). On the 7th day, CLP1000 (p < 0.05) and CLPS1000 (p < 0.001) administration significantly decreased the number of E. coli O157:H7. According to the results of the present study, administration of CLPS1000 to mice can reduce the severity of E. coli O157:H7 infection. Also, it is suggested that CLPS100 represents a good candidate for the treatment of enteric infections in domestic animals.

The increase in the total number of cows on farms, which breed Korean Native Cattle (KNC), is associated with many problems. In particular, the services per conception and calving interval have increased. In this study, we examined the effect of dietary supplementation with vitamin and mineral complex on the estrus rate, pregnancy rate, gestation length, and birth weight of KNC calves. Multiparous or primiparous KNC were divided into 3 groups with 40 heads per group. Experimental group 1 was administered a consisting of 35,000 IU vitamin A, 100 IU vitamin E, 200 mg -carotene, 200 mg Zn methionine, and 1.5 mg Se. Experimental group 2 was administered a vitamin complex (100 g/day) consisting of 100 IU vitamin E and 200 mg -carotene. In the case of multiparous KNC, the estrus detection rate in the control group was 90.0% and those in the experimental groups were 75.0% to 95.0%. However, the first-service pregnancy rate after parturition in the control group was 41.2%, which was significantly lower than that in the experimental groups (71.0% to 76.7%; p<0.05). The average duration of pregnancy in the group supplemented with the vitamin complex was days, which was similar to that in the case of the control group. The birth weight of calves from cows fed with vitamin complex was 25.3 to 27.0 kg, which was similar to that in the case of the control group (25.2 to 26.0 kg). In the case of primiparous KNC, no differences in the estrus rate, pregnancy rate, gestation length, or the birth weight of calves were noted between the groups. Thus, dietary supplementation vitamin and mineral complex have no effect on the reproductive efficiency in primiparous cows, but the pregnancy rate was observed to have increased in multiparous KNC with these supplements.

본 연구는 장미 순환식 수경재배 시 재배시기별로 적합한 배양액을 개발하고자 일본야채다업시험장 표준액을 1/4S, 1/2S, 2/3S, 1S로 하여 펄라이트와 입상 암면을 4:6 부피비로 섞은 고형배지를 이용하여 실험을 실시하였다. 고온기재배의 경우 1/2S 처리구에서, 저온기의 경우 2/3S 처리구에서 광합성 속도, 절화 품질 및 생육이 우수하였다. 이를 토대로 1/2S(고온기), 2/3S(저온기) 처리구의 양수분 흡수율을 기준으로 새로운 배양액을 조성하였다. 이온의 조성은 고온기의 경우 NO3-N 6.8, NH4-N 0.7, PO4-P 2.0, K 3.8, Ca 3.0, Mg 1.2, SO4-S 1.2me·L-1, 저온기의 경우 NO3-N 6.8, NH4-N 0.7, PO4-P 2.0, K 3.8, Ca 3.0, Mg 1.2, SO4-S 1.2me·L-1 이었다. 개발한 배양액의 적합성 평가실험 결과 UOS 배양액은 Ca, P 등의 이온이 장미의 양분흡수율보다 많이 함유된 기존의 배양액과 비교하여 근권 내 EC 변화가 안정적이었다. 또한 절화수량이 재배기간에 관계없이 기존 배양액보다 높은 결과를 나타내었고 특히 저온기 재배시 아이찌현 배양액 처리구에 비하여 수확량이 140% 증가하였다. 따라서 고형배지를 이용한 장미 순환식 수경재배시 새로 개발된 배양액을 사용할 경우 기존 배양액에 비해 비료절감의 효과와 함께 안정적인 생육 및 수량증대를 기대할 수 있다.
