The development of reliable methods to diagnose acute kidney injury is essential to allow the adoption of early therapeutic interventions and evaluate their effectiveness. Based on the fact that kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) expression levels in kidneys are markedly upregulated early after a damage event, here we developed a noninvasive KIM- 1-based molecular imaging technique to detect kidney injury. First, we took advantage of a phage-display platform to select small peptides demonstrating a specific high binding affinity to KIM-1. The promising candidate was conjugated with fluorescent probes, and its imaging potential was validated in vitro and in vivo. This peptide, with the sequence CNRRRA, not only showed a high imaging potential in vitro, allowing a strong detection of KIM-1 expressing cells by microscopy and flow cytometry but also generated a strong kidney-specific signal in live-imaging in vivo experiments in the context of a drug-induced kidney-injury mouse model. Our data overall suggest that the CNRRRA peptide is a promising probe to use in the context of in vivo imaging for the detection of KIM-1 overexpression in damaged kidneys.

This study was focused on improvement of milk production in Mongolia dairy industry by artificial insemination (AI) technology, of which was supported from ODA project of KOICA in Republic of Korea. The study was started from January 2009 to present and 3rd years in this year. So, all data, especially synchronization and pregnancy of dairy cows (Holstein) will be summarized in final result in this year. For synchronization, total 81 dairy cows selected from 4 private farms that were 38, 30, 8 and 5 in Undarmal milk, Onjin (Enkhbayer), Jargalant, and BRM School, respectively. All the dairy cows were injected intramuscular (IM) of 5 ml PGF2α in the vulva and detected estrus 2 to 3 days after PGF2α injection. Total 78 out of 81 dairy cows (96.3%) were detected estrus by only 1 time injection of PGF2α. The dairy cows that were induced estrus, inseminated with 0.5 ml dairy frozen semen by conventional AI techniques. The pregnancy diagnosis of the AI dairy cows was detected by uterus palpation after 60 days of insemination. Total 75 from 78 inseminated dairy cows (90.1%) were diagnosis pregnant. The estrus induction and pregnant rate were very effective using PGF2α injection and conventional AI techniques in Mongolia dairy cow. The results indicated that AI after estrus induction in Mongolia dairy cows could be applied to dairy breeding technology to improve the breeding efficiency and milk production.

After this treatise grasped the point that a character of the Baekhwa school was idealism, egoism, illuminism, and art for art’s sake, it investigated what appearances that these thoughts had reflected on the Korean modern literature to make Lee Kwang-Soo and Kim Dong-In two pivot objects of study. They, Lee Kwang-Soo and Kim Dong-In met with works and thoughts of the Baekhwa school writers to go to Japan about the time when they played an important role in the Japanese literary world. But they who had quite different characters and thoughts accepted the Baekhwa school through a different logical connection with each other. When He, Lee Kwang-Soo had met with works, he formed an enlightenment consciousness of idealism, and Kim Dong-In egoism and art for art’s sake. The Baekhwa school is the representative writers in the Japanese idealism. They are an important writers from the viewpoint of on the comparative literature of Korea & Japan novel because the Baekhwa school had an effect on two writers who formed the basis of the Korean modern novel. We find out that the Baekhwa school had an enormous effect on the Korean literature if we will consider a relative importance Lee Kwang-Soo and Kim Dong-In have come into possession of the history of Korean novel.

Phase transformation behavior and shape memory characteristics of Ti-Ni-Cu alloy ribbons fabricated by melt spinning have been investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, optical microscopy and thermal cycling tests under constant load. With increasing linear velocity and decreasing ejection pressure, transformation start temperatures of ribbons decreased and stability of the B19 martensite was lowered, comparing to those of alloys fabricated by conventional casting since the cooling rate increased. Only after heat treating ribbons at temperatures higher than 873 K where recrystallization occurred, the B19 martensite was observed in Ti-40Ni-10Cu alloy ribbons. Transformation elongation and hysteresis associated with the B2-B19 transformation in Ti-Ni-Cu alloy ribbons decreased with increasing Cu-content, which was attributed to the decrease in lattice deformations. Transformation elongations of ribbons were larger than those of alloys made by casting, which was closely related to a texture developed in ribbons.

Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)is one of common causes of cancer-related death in Korea where the majority of HCC patients were Hepaitc B virus(HBV)carriers and have cirrhosis. Transarterial chemoembolization(TACE)is commonly applied to the treatment of multinodular HCC in Korea and careful selection of candidate is important for the risk of various side effects. Besides common side effects as fever, nausea, abdominal pain and elevation of liver enzyme, TACE may predispose to hepatic failure, ischemic cholecystitis, pulmonary embolism, cerebral embolism and pneumonitis. In previous studies, some cases of pulmonary and cerebral embolism cases were reported but lipiodol pneumonitis after TACE was rarely reported. A 65-year-old woman with a multinodular HCC associated with HBV infection, was treated with TACE. Seven days after the procedure, nonspecific respiratory symptoms such as dyspnea and dry cough developed. Chest X-ray and chest computed tomography showed diffuse ground glass opacities in whole lung fields, suggestive of lipiodol pneumonitis. After several days of supportive care with steroid administration, radiologic abnormalities and subjective symptoms were much improved, considered that the disease was compatible with lipiodol pneumonitis.

Slot hoods are most commonly used to provide uniform exhaust air flow and an adequate capture velocity over finite length of contaminant generation, e.g. an open surface tank or over the face of a large hood such as a side-draft design. The function of the slot is solely to provide uniform air distribution. Industrial Ventilation Manual edited by ACGIH (American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists) recommended the conditions to obtain uniform air distribution . slot velocity higher than 10m/s and take-off angle larger than 45 degree. But, in reality, it might not be an easy task to satisfy the conditions for uniform air distribution. By using CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics), the 81 cases (3 aspect ratios x 3 mean slot velocities x 3 take-off angles x 3 duct velocities) were thus simulated and the coefficients of variance were computed to compare the uniformity of slot face velocities. Generally speaking, either aspect ratio or duct velocity do not affect the uniformity a lot while both slot velocity and take-off angle play a crucial role in forming uniform air distribution.
