The priority placed on animal welfare in the meat industry is increasing importance of understanding livestock behavior. In this study, we developed a web-based monitoring and recording system based artificial intelligence analysis for classification cattle sounds. deep learning model convolutional neural network (CNN) that takes voice information converted to Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) as input. CNN first achieved an accuracy 91.38% recognizing Further, short-time Fourier...

Abstract Over several decades, topical and systemic antibiotics have been the mainstay of treatment for acne vulgaris. The widespread long‐term use in has resulted spread resistant bacterial strains failure. We aimed to examine bacteriology vulgaris evaluate its susceptibility widely used Korea. examined species bacteria aerobically anaerobically isolated from 100 Korean patients. Among isolated, Staphylococcus epidermidis (36 patients) was most common, followed by Propionibacterium acnes...

In this study, we prepared human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (hBMP-2)/human growth and differentiation factor-5 (hGDF-5)-coated titanium (Ti) disc screw types for controlled release of the factors (GFs). The two were coated onto Ti with a smooth surface using their specific interaction heparin, because they have heparin binding sites in molecular structures. Efficacy factor-coated enhancement formation osseointegration was compared to pristine Ti, hBMP-2- hGDF-5-coated vivo. chemical...

Deer velvet antler (DVA) is one of the most popular medicines in China. Numerous studies have demonstrated that possess biological effects. However, data regarding its anti-migration activity on prostate cancer scarce. In this study, we investigated inhibitory effect top DVA (T-DVA) expression prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and migration-related genes human cell, LNCaP. The T-DVA down-regulated PSA. addition, Radius(TM) assay revealed inhibited migration behavior cells. Furthermore, matrix...

Background: Since its reemergence in 1993, a number of cases Plasmodium vivax malaria have been reported Korea. We analyzed the patients living Chuncheon and neighboring communities, to characterize clinical manifestations laboratory findings, identify any differences between our findings those previous studies. Methods: reviewed records that were confirmed as by peripheral blood smear at Sacred Heart Hospital from July 1998 September 2001. Results: Forty-four included study. All infected...

Our aim in this study was to determine the effects of physically effective neutral detergent fibre (peNDF) a total mixed ration (TMR) on feed intake, digestibility and chewing activity beef cattle. The experiment had replicated 3 × Latin square desig, using three fattening Hanwoo (Bos taurus coreanae) steers with ruminal cannulas. Steers were offered one diets (high, medium or low peNDF content) obtained by mixing same TMR for different periods time (5, 13 25 min). content calculated as...

This study was conducted to provide the basic information allow improved scientific assessment of velvet antler's quality by investigating change chemical composition during different antler growth stages in elk (Cervus elaphus canadensis).Twenty four antlers were harvested from stags (aged 4-5 years) on 65 days (VA65), 80 (VA80) and 95 (VA95) after button casting, each determined five sections (top, upper, middle, base, bottom).Crude protein ether extract content highest top section,...

Study Design: Retrospective study. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the difference efficacy between bulb syringe irrigation and pulsed in spinal surgeries. Summary Background: Pulsed has been used for more than half a century, especially trauma However, best our knowledge, there no as surgeries so far. Materials Methods: consecutive patients who underwent posterior lumbar interbody fusion 6 months were investigated. Those during first 3 irrigated by (group I) those next...

This experiment was to determine proper physical traits in the diet for goats by investigating effects of physically effective neutral detergent fiber (peNDF) content on dry matter intake (DMI), digestibility, and chewing activity black fed with total mixed ration (TMR). Six growing wethers Korean native (Capra hircus coreanae) aged 8 months weighing between 26.9 kg 27.1 (27.03±5.05 kg) were used this experiment. Three diets varying peNDF obtained original TMR (T1), 12,000 rpm grinding (T2),...

Report of a Case with Immunohistochemical StudyWe report rare case giant vascular eccrine spiradenoma (GVES) which developed in 56-yr-old Korean woman.It is variant (ES), might be mistaken for angiomatous lesions view its florid vascularity and hemorrhagic features.Histogenesis GVES not clearly elucidated although it known that ES presumably originates the glands.To clarify histogenesis GVES, immunohistochemical stainings using various monoclonal antibodies were also performed.The tumor was...

Topical retinoids have been widely used in the treatment of acne. They comprise several products as prescription drugs well cosmeceuticals. Of these products, retinol has better tolerability compared with such tretinoin, but it is only cosmeceuticals due to its low biologic activity. A combination formulation could be an effective alternative address problem decreased therapeutic Recently, hexamidine diisethionate known antibacterial activity, and rose extract shown possess anti-inflammatory...

A case controlled study with prospective data collection.To evaluate the early influence and final consequence of demineralized bone matrix (DBM) on auto-local as a graft enhancer in posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF).DBM is known an osteoinductive material; however, it has not been clearly recognized to enhance small amount.Patients who had PLIF were allocated into two groups. Group I (70 cases) used chips group II (44 DBM additive bone, 1 mL per segment. selection was alternated....

Background. Lower back pain is a common reason for disability and the most cause lumbar disc herniation. Percutaneous epidural adhesiolysis has been applied to relieve increase functional capacity of patients who present this condition. Objectives. In study, we retrospectively evaluated factors which predict outcome percutaneous in were diagnosed with Methods. Electronic medical records herniation have received treatment reviewed. The primary was that associated substantial response ≥4...

경추부 중재술은 전통적으로 방사선 투시하에서 시행되었다. 그러나 투시기로는 연부 조직, 특히 신경과 혈관 등의 주요 구조물들을 볼 수 없다 는 단점이 있는데 투시하 경추간공(transforaminal) 주사의 경우 조영제를 사용하여 내 주입을 피하고자 함에도 불구하고 신경근 동맥 (radicular artery)내 주사가 되어 척수 손상이라는 심각한 합병증을 발생시킨 증례들이 보고되는 등 방 사선 시술의 위험성이 부각되고 있다. 비 교적 안전하다고 생각되었던 컴퓨터단층촬영 유도 하 시술에서도 소뇌와 뇌간의 경색이 발생하는 그 안전성에 대한 근본적인 논란이 있는 것이 사실 이다. 이에 비해 초음파 유도하 투시기로 없는 구 조물들을 실시간으로 보면서 시술할 있고 주사제 가 목표물 주위로 퍼져 나가는 정도와 양상을 동영 상으로 주사할 있다는 큰 장점을 가지고 따라서 구조물로 주사 되거나 조직을 손상시키지 않도록 하여 안전성을 높이고 주사제가 퍼지는 영역을 조절할 있기 때문에...

The objective of this study was to determine the effects physically effective neutral detergent fiber (peNDF) content in total mixed ration (TMR) on dry matter intake, digestibility, and chewing activity fattening Hanwoo (Bos taurus coreanae) heifers. experiment designed as a replicated 3×3 Latin square using 12 Fattening heifers were offered one three diets [high (T1), medium (T2), low (T3) peNDF] obtained by different mixing times (3, 10, 25 min) for same TMR feed. peNDF determined...

Jeon et al., 2006a), only limited information is available to evaluate the quality of velvet antler around world.Harvest time has been variable from 40 days 100 after casting buttons previous set (Haigh and Hudson, 1993).Chapman (1975) reported that chemical composition antlers depends on portion analysed, stage development species deer examined.Therefore, more detailed data required including knowledge variation may exist between different stages parts assess exactly.It also necessary...

We investigated the biologically active substances contained in RVA (regrowth velvet antler) by comparing composition of and antioxidant potential different antler segments. was subjected to extraction using DW (distilled water). divided into 3 segments: T-RVA (top RVA), M-RVA (middle B-RVA (base RVA). The section possessed greatest amounts uronic acid (36.251 mg/g), sulfated GAGs (sulfated glycosaminoglycans) (555.76 sialic (111.276 uridine (0.957 uracil (1.084 hypoxanthine (1.2631 mg/g)....
