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.

The genes that codify the subunits of the fibril-forming collagen constitute an evolutionarily related group within the collagen multigene family, Deposition of fibrillar molecules in the extrcellular matrix of several tissues influences a number of cellular activities such as adhesion, proliferation, and migration. In the developing and adult organisms, temporal and spatial expression of collasgen genes is modulated by a variety of cytokines and hormones, Likewise, transcription of collagen genes in tissue cultures can be greatly affected by the action of these substances and by chemical or viral transformation as well. Cytokine-mediated increase of collagen deposition on response to environmental stimuli is also the major histopathological feature of clinically distinct that similarly lead to overt firrotic processes. It is my heartily with to elucidate the mechanisms that regulate tissue specific expression of the human collagen genes a prerequisite for understanding the pathophysiology of diseased processes. Involving collagen metabolism, such as scleroderma.

BACKGROUND: Tego-51(R), one of the amphoteric surfactants, has been considered as an effective disinfectant having both bactericidal and fungicidal effect. The author evaluated inactivation effect of Tego-51(R) on viruses causing disease in humans. METHODS: Influenza virus B, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1), adenovirus and echovirus 30 were exposed to diluted Tego-51(R) solution (1% and 0.1%) for 5, 10 and 30 minutes respectively and were inoculated onto the following cells: Influenza virus B, MDCK; RSV, HEp-2; HSV-1, HEp-2; adenovirus, Vero; and echovirus 30, RD. After incubation for 5 to 6 days, viral infection was identified with indirect immunofluorescent methods. RESULTS: Influenza virus B, RSV and HSV-1 which are enveloped viruses were inactivated after exposure of the viruses to Tego-51(R) for 5 minutes. Non-enveloped adenovirus and echovirus 30 were not inactivated after exposure for 30 minutes. CONCLUSIONS: Tego-51(R) appears to be effective in inactivation of enveloped viruses at concentrations used for disinfection of pathogenic bacteria and fungi.
