A study was conducted on 2,210 officials in Jeonbug Province to check out their physical growth, development and nutritional state during the period June 1st 1975 to August 31, 1975. As the results of this study, the following conclusions were reached: 1. Physical measurement. a. Body height: The mean body height of male was 166.8+/-4.6 cm and that of female was 156.3+/-4.9 cm. The highest value of mean body height was 167.1+/-3.9cm, showing by male of administrative job. The lowest value of that was 165.7+/-5.2cm, showing by the male functional job, while the difference of body height was not significant in female. b. Body weight: The mean body weight of male was 61.5+/-4.6kg and that of female was 51.2+/-3.9kg. The administrative job heavier than functional job of male by type of job, while that of female of functional job heavier than functional job of male by type of job, while that of female of functional job heavier than administrative job. c. Chest-girth: The mean body chest-girth of male was 90.8+/-3.2cm and that of female was 83.6+/-3.6cm. 2. Physical growth and developmental state. a. The relative body weight was normal in male except the young man under 25 years, while that of female was under the level of standard. b. The relative chest-girth was showed standard values by all age group of officials. c. The Rogrer and Kaup indices were showed standard values except under 19 years officials and 30 to 34 years female officials. 3. Vervaeck index for nutritional status was appeared normal in male but under the values of standard in female.

By means of simultaneous recording of apexcardiogram and phonocardiogram, determination of intervals of hemodynamic events in cardiac cycles, along with per cent amplitude of rapid filling wave and A wave in the apexcardiogram were done in 50 healthy subjects, and their clinical significance was discussed.

Three hormonal systems show decreasing circulating hormone concentrations during normal aging : (1) estrogen(in menopause), and testosterone (in andropause), (2) dehydroepiandrosterone and its sulfate (in adrenopause), and (3) the growth hormone/insulin-like growth factor 1 axis (in somatopause). Throughout the adult life, all physiological functions gradually decline. There is a diminishing capacity for cellular protein synthesis, an decline in immune function, an increase in fat mass, a loss of muscle mass and strength, and a decrease in bone mineral density. Physical changes during aging have been considered physiologic, but there is evidence that some of these changes are related to the decline in the hormonal activity. Various hormonal replacement strategies have been developed, but many of their aspects remain controversial, and increased blood hormone levels in aging individuals to those found during the mid-adult life have not been uniformly proven to be safe and of benefit.

An improved protocol for in situ hybridization(ISH) to routinely processed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections from lung carcinoma is presented. For this study, DNA probes for alpha-satellite chromosome 7 and 17 were used. The protocol to detect numerical chromosome aberrations involved treatment of sections with 1 M sodium thiocyanate prior to pepsin digestion, resulting in reproducible ISH reactions. The effect of avidin-biotin detection system. Four layer avidin methods and triple biotin methods, using avidin-PO, goat antiavidin, biotinylated antigoat IgG, avidin-PO or anti-biotin, biotinylated antirabbit IgG, avidin-PO, markedly enhanced the intensity of positive signals. More than 80% of the tumor and stromal cells showed distinct chromosome hybridization signals in 6 micrometer-thick sections. Lung carcinoma cells showed multiple chromosome signals(2~5 spots), contrasted by one or two signals in the stromal cells in the same section. These results suggest that chromosome polysomy can be reliably detected in tissue sections using in situ hybridization. This capability will prove to be an important tool for determining the underlying genetic basis for tumor development, tissue phenotype heterogeneity and progression by allowing genetic determination to be made on paraffin-embedded tissue sections where tumor histologic architecture is preserved.
