Back extension exercises have been used for rehabilitation of the injured low back, prevention of injury, and fitness training programs. However, excessive loading on low back can exacerbate existing structural weakness. The purpose of this study was to compare muscle activity of low back muscles during back extension exercises. Twenty healthy male subjects were evaluated, Electromyographic (EMG) activities of low back muscles at L1 and L5 level were recorded during seven different back extension exercises and two reference tasks by surface EMG and saved for data analysis. Reference tasks of lifting 20% and 40% of their body weight were included for comparison. The result were as follows: 1) Single-arm extension and single-leg extension exercises on quadruped position appeared to constitute a low-risk exercise for initial extensor strengthening. 2) When arm extension was combined with contralateral leg extension on quadruped position, EMG activities of low back muscles were increased, 3) EMG activity of low back muscles was highest during the trunk extension exercises on prone position. 4) EMG activities of low back muscles during arm and leg extension exercises on quadruped position were less than those of reference task of lifting 40% of their body weight. These results have important implications for progressive back extensor muscle

중이온 빔을 이용한 방사선 돌연변이의 기초자료를 얻고자 담배의 수분·수정 직후의 원배에 100 Gy의 중이온빔을 조사하여 M_1세대의 종자를 얻었다. NaCI 2.0과 2.5%를 포함된 MS배지에 M_1 세대의 종자를 파종하여 17개통의 NaCI 저항성 식물체를 선발하였다. 저항성 식물체는 BY-4품종에 ^14N빔을 조사한 처리구에서만 관찰되었다. M_1 세대의 저항성 식물체의 경우 영양생장기간 중에는 외형적 변이가 관찰되지 않았으나 생식생장기의 화기에 있어서는 다양한 변이가 관찰되었다. 특히 암술 수술의 길이의 변화, 꽃잎의 변화, 불완전 화분립, 줄기당 꽃의 착생수 감소 등의 변이가 발생하였다. M_1 세대에서 17개의 NaCI저항성 계통 중에서 8계통은 M_2 세대에도 저항성형질이 발현되었고, 또한 M_2 세대의 3계통은 Mannitol이 포함된 배지에서 저항성을 보여주었다. Tobacco proembryos were irradiated with 100 Gy of heavy-ion beams (^14N, ^20Ne : 135 Mev/u) after 24 to 96 hours of pollination as a mutagen and screened M_1 generation for morphological mutants and salt-tolerant plants. Morphological and physilolgical characteristics of the salt-tolerant plants derived from the irradiated proembryo are discussed in this report. Mutants irradiated porembryos with the beams after pollination produced various kinds of morphological variation. A total of 17 salt-tolerant plants were selected from tobacco cultivar (BY-4) by treatment with ^14N beam. Shapes of filament and pollen grain of most salt-tolerant plants were abnormal compared with non-irradiated wild type, and seeds weight and fertility obviously decreased. The germination rates of the several M_2 lines on the saline and the mannitol condition were higher than that of wild type.

Ryu, Jai Hyunk,Seo, Kyoung Sun,Choi, Gab Lim,Rha, Eui Shik,Lee, Sheong Chun,Choi, Seong Kyu,Kang, Si-Yong,Bae, Chang-Hyu The Plant Resources Society of Korea 2012 한국자원식물학회지 Vol.25 No.6

Dandelion has been widely utilized for medicinal and edible purposes. This research was conducted to evaluate the effect of supplemental LED (light-emitting diode) light on germination, growth characteristics and anthocyanin content of dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) seedling using LED blue (460 nm), red (660 nm, R), blue + red (B:R=6:4) and fluorescent lamp light treatment. By LED illumination to T. officinale seed germination speed was delayed, and germination rate was the highest in the fluorescent light. The growth characteristics (plant height, number of leaves, root length and fresh weight) were greatly influenced by supplemental LED light compared with control treatment, and the growth promotion was the most effective in the red LED illumination. After 60 days of red and mixed LED light treatments, anthocyanin content of dandelion plants was significantly changed. The anthocyanin content was increased by 12~19 mg/100 g under the red LED and the mixed light conditions compared with the control and the blue LED. Results indicate that illumination with red and mix LEDs, compared with other light treatments, is beneficial for promotion of growth and anthocyanin content in dandelion.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of soil environment and crop productivity in paddy soil with annual dressing of organic matter and NPK. Uptake amount of nitrogen in straw and grain was increased by application of organic matter and N use efficiency of rice plant was high in order of NPK + compost> NPK + straw> NPK. Content of nitrogen and magnesium in brown rice was increased by application of rice straw and compost and Mg/K, Mg/K·N ratio was the highest in NPK + compost. There were little difference in protein and amylose content in the milled rice among the treatments. On the while fat content was the highest in NPK + compost and TOYO palatability index was high in order of NPK + compost>NPK>NPK + straw. Application of organic matter caused to improve appearance characteristics of brown rice and milled rice, head rice ratio and perfect kernel ratio. But grain quality was deteriorated by non-application of organic matter because of high broken kernel and damaged kernel ratio. Yield of milled rice was increased in applying organic matter plot due to the increase number of panicles and spikelets per m2.

Lee, Doo Ri,Lee, Chang Hyu,Won, Youn Kyung,Suh, Dong In,Roh, Eui-Jung,Lee, Mi-Hee,Chung, Eun Hee The Korean Pediatric Society 2015 Clinical and Experimental Pediatrics (CEP) Vol.58 No.10

Purpose: Croup is a common pediatric respiratory illness with symptoms of varying severity. Moreover, epiglottitis is a rare disease that can rapidly progress to life-threatening airway obstruction. Although the clinical course and treatments differ between croup and epiglottitis, they are difficult to differentiate on presentation. We aimed to compare the clinical characteristics of croup and epiglottitis in Emergency Department patients. Methods: The 2012 National Emergency Department Information System database of 146 Korean Emergency Departments was used to investigate patients aged ${\leq}18years$ presenting with croup or epiglottitis. Results: We analyzed 19,374 croup patients and 236 epiglottitis patients. The male:female sex ratios were 1.9:1 and 2.3:1 and mean ages were $2.2{\pm}2.0$ and $5.6{\pm}5.8years$, respectively. The peak incidence of croup was observed in July and that of epiglottitis was observed in May. The hospitalization rate was lower in croup than in epiglottitis patients, and the proportion of patients treated in the intensive care unit was lower among croup patients. The 3 most common chief complaints in both croup and epiglottitis patients were cough, fever, and dyspnea. Epiglottitis patients experienced dyspnea, sore throat, and vomiting more often than croup patients (P<0.05). Conclusion: Both groups had similar sex ratios, arrival times, 3 most common chief complaints, and 5 most common comorbidities. Epiglottitis patients had a lower incidence rate, higher mean age of onset, and higher hospitalization rate and experienced dyspnea, sore throat, and vomiting more often than croup patients. Our results may help in the differential diagnosis of croup and epiglottitis.

<P><B>Objectives</B></P><P>Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common cancer with high rate of recurrence and mortality. Diverse aetiological agents and wide heterogeneity in individual tumours impede effective and personalised treatment. Tonicity-responsive enhancer-binding protein (TonEBP) is a transcriptional cofactor for the expression of proinflammatory genes. Although inflammation is intimately associated with the pathogenesis of HCC, the role of TonEBP is unknown. We aimed to identify function of TonEBP in HCC.</P><P><B>Design</B></P><P>Tumours with surrounding hepatic tissues were obtained from 296 patients with HCC who received completion resection. TonEBP expression was analysed by quantitative reverse transcription–quantitative real-time PCR (RT-PCR) and immunohfistochemical analyses of tissue microarrays. Mice with TonEBP haplodeficiency, and hepatocyte-specific and myeloid-specific TonEBP deletion were used along with HCC and hepatocyte cell lines.</P><P><B>Results</B></P><P>TonEBP expression is higher in tumours than in adjacent non-tumour tissues in 92.6% of patients with HCC regardless of aetiology associated. The TonEBP expression in tumours and adjacent non-tumour tissues predicts recurrence, metastasis and death in multivariate analyses. TonEBP drives the expression of cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2) by stimulating the promoter. In mouse models of HCC, three common sites of TonEBP action in response to diverse aetiological agents leading to tumourigenesis and tumour growth were found: cell injury and inflammation, induction by oxidative stress and stimulation of the COX-2 promoter.</P><P><B>Conclusions</B></P><P>TonEBP is a key component of the common pathway in tumourigenesis and tumour progression of HCC in response to diverse aetiological insults. TonEBP is involved in multiple steps along the pathway, rendering it an attractive therapeutic target as well as a prognostic biomarker.</P>

Lee, Chang Hyu,Won, Youn Kyoung,Roh, Eui-Jung,Suh, Dong In,Chung, Eun Hee The Korean Pediatric Society 2016 Clinical and Experimental Pediatrics (CEP) Vol.59 No.3

Purpose: Acute respiratory infection, particularly pneumonia, is the most common cause of hospitalization and death among children in developing nations. This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of children and adolescents with pneumonia who visited Emergency Department (ED) in South Korea in 2012. Methods: We analyzed National Emergency Department Information System (NEDIS) records from 146 EDs in South Korea for all pediatric patients aged ${\leq}18years$ who were diagnosed with pneumonia between January and December 2012. Results: Among 38,415 subjects, the male-to-female ratio was 1:0.8. Patients aged <12 months comprised 18.0% of the study population; those aged 1 to 3 years, 54.4%; those aged 4 to 6 years, 16.8%; those aged 7 to 12 years, 7.4%; and those aged 13 to 18 years, 3.4%. Presentation rates were highest in April, followed by January, March, and May. The hospital admission rate was 43.5%, of which 2.6% were in intensive care units. The mortality rate was 0.02%. Based on the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, diagnostic codes, the types of pneumonia according to cause were viral pneumonia (29.0%), bacterial pneumonia (5.3%), Mycoplasmal pneumonia (4.5%), aspiration pneumonia (1.3%), and pneumonia of unknown origin (59.3%). Conclusion: Despite the limited data due to the ED data from the NEDIS lacking laboratory results and treatment information, this study reflects well the outbreak patterns among children and adolescents with pneumonia. Our results provide a basis for future studies regarding ED treatment for children and adolescents with pneumonia.

Chang-Hyu Yang,Jang-Hee Lee,Nan-Hyun Baek,Pyeong Shin,Kwang-Min Cho,Sang-Bok Lee,Gyeong-Bo Lee 한국토양비료학회 2013 한국토양비료학회지 Vol.46 No.3

This study was carried out to investigate the incorporation effect of green manure crops (GMC) such as the hairy vetch on improvement of soil environment in reclaimed land during silage corn cultivation over the past two years. Plots consisted of conventional fertilization (CF) and incorporation of GMC were divided by addition rate of nitrogen fertilizer (100 kg ha<SUP>-1</SUP>) with 30 ? 100% of non nitrogen fertilization (NNF). Soil physico-chemical properties and growth and yield potential of silage corn were examined. The tested soils showed strong alkali and saline properties with low contents of organic matter and available phosphate while contents of exchangeable sodium and magnesium were high. Soil salinity increased during cultivation of summer crop. However, corn was not affected by salt content. The fresh weight of GMC at incorporation time was 18,345 kg ha<SUP>-1</SUP>. Content of total nitrogen was 3.09% and the C/N ratio was 12.8 at incorporation time. Fresh and dry matter yield of silage corn were higher in the order of N30% reduction, CF, N50% reduction, N70% reduction, N100% reduction and NNF. Fresh and dry matter yield potential of silage corn for N30% reduction were comparable to those of CF. Bulk density of the soil decreased with incorporation of GMC, while porosity was increased. The soil pH decreased while content of exchangeable calcium, available phosphate, and organic matter increased. Also contents of exchangeable sodium and potassium decreased with incorporation of GMC. The data indicate that incorporation of hairy vetch can improve soil physical and chemical properties and reduce nitrogen fertilizer application especially for alkali saline reclaimed soil such as Saemangeum reclaimed land.
