The effect of heat treatment on the antioxidant activity extracts from Citrus unshiu peels was evaluated. (CP) (5 g) were placed in Pyrex Petri dishes (8.0 cm diameter) and heat-treated at 50, 100, or 150 °C for 10, 20, 30, 40, 60 min an electric muffle furnace. After treatment, 70% ethanol extract (EE) water (WE) (0.1 g/10 mL) CP prepared, total phenol contents (TPC), radical scavenging (RSA), reducing power determined. activities increased as heating temperature increased. For example,...

Abstract This article examines the effects of participation in oral argumentation on development individual reasoning as expressed persuasive essays. Engagement is essential feature a classroom discussion method called collaborative reasoning. A premise this that fundamentally dialogical and, hence, best nurtured supportive settings such group discussion. Students from 3 classrooms participated discussions for period 5 weeks. Then, these students and comparable who had not engaged wrote The...

Imbalances in glutamatergic (excitatory) and GABA (inhibitory) signalling within key brain networks are thought to underlie many mental health disorders, for this reason there is considerable interest investigating how individual variability localised concentrations of these molecules relate disorders. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) provides a reliable means measuring, vivo, neurometabolites such as GABA, glutamate glutamine that can be correlated with function dysfunction. However,...

Government regulators and consumer packaged goods companies around the world struggle with methods to help consumers make better nutritional decisions. In this research we find that, depending on consumer, a traffic light color-coding (TLC) approach product labeling can have substantial impact perceptions of foods' health quality food choice. Across 3 lab experiments field experiment, that TLC labels provide nondieters an information processing cue directly influences evaluations in manner...

Abstract We developed a protocol of noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT), employing higher-resolution picodroplet digital PCR, to detect genetic imbalance in maternal plasma DNA (mpDNA) caused by cell-free fetal (cffDNA). In the present study, this approach was applied four families with autosomal recessive (AR) congenital sensorineural hearing loss. First, fraction mpDNA calculated. Then, we made artificial mixtures (positive and negative controls) simulate containing cffDNA or without...

Data were using Pearson's χ2 test multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results The stages reported 1,854 showed a low...

We established a protocol for the traditional Korean medicine examination (KME) and methodically gathered data following this protocol. Potential indicators KME were extracted through literature review; first was developed based on three rounds of expert opinions. The protocol’s feasibility confirmed, collected over four years from (KM) hospitals, focusing healthy adults, using final A review identified 175 potential core indicators, condensed into 73 after consultation. protocol, which...

Qi-invigorating herbs (QIHs) are a group of that invigorate Qi, the most vital force for maintaining physiological functions human body in traditional medicine. However, mechanism underlying effects remains unclear. This study aimed to elucidate unique mechanisms QIHs based on compounds, using network pharmacology approach. and their compounds were identified existing literature TCMSP database, respectively. Subsequently, method was proposed screen common but rare other herbs. Unique...

The development of embryos reconstructed by nuclear transfer (NT) is dependent upon numerous factors. Central to the quality and recipient cytoplast. Typically oocytes Corresponding author: Joon-Hee Lee Tel: +82-55-772-1886 Fax: +82-55-772-1889 E-mail: sbxjh@gnu.ac.kr 168 ... Journal Agriculture & Life Science 47(6) at either AI/TI or MII are potential candidates used as cytoplasts for NT, because they contain active MPF, which causes NEBD PCC in transferred nucleus may be essential...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects different postural correction in electromyographic (EMG) activity trunk and hip muscles during bridging exercises. Twenty-four healthy subjects volunteered for study. muscle recorded with surface electrodes over erector spinae, multifidus, gluteus maximus (GM), hamstring (Ham) muscles; it measured by using EMG equipment under following 3 experimental conditions: manual correction, verbal no correction. maximal voluntary isometric...

This study aimed to determine whether primary surgical closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a risk factor for morbidity and mortality compared with secondary ligation. The enrolled 178 very-low-birth-weight infants. group included 34 patients who did not respond pharmacologic intervention eventually required ligation their PDA as well 35 underwent direct because contraindications the use oral ibuprofen. overall outcomes groups were compared. outcome during hospitalization showed no...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect local heating and cooling various body parts on skin temperature exposed extremities including neck. Hot pack used warm up seven participants for 15 minutes it removed as hot decreased after 15minutes warming. Thermograms surface with without were analyzed intensively observe efficiency shoulder, abdomen, back waist, foot ten area subjects' body. results indicated that absolute front upper arm thigh significantly higher depending...

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects home exercise program and round shoulder adjustments on level trapezius muscle activity attention capacity for middle school students. Method: participants in were composed 21 We made students lie floor prone position, then measured height their acromion from floor. chose our whose measurement values over 2.5cm. divided them into two groups, one is experimental group, other control group. group exercised three days a week 6...

To investigate minimum pressure by verifying changes in due to bleeding amount during bloodletting-cupping therapy.

The current military ballistic vest, with its ceramic plates, weighs over 8 kg, and there is a gap between the body clothing owing to flat shape of vest. Moreover, since weight concentrated on shoulders, it likely exacerbate musculoskeletal pains fatigue. Although reducing vest very important for operations, difficult decrease because selection materials textiles limited protecting wearer against hazards. Therefore, this study proposes ways distribute more uniformly using three-dimensional...

Metabolic rate has been used in thermophysiological models for predicting the thermal response of humans. However, only a few studies have investigated association between an individual's trait-like sensitivity and resting energy expenditure (REE), which resulted inconsistent results. This study aimed to explore REE perceived sensitivity. The healthy adults was measured using indirect calorimeter, intolerance sensation body were evaluated self-administered questionnaire. In total, 1567...
