Background Miniature pigs have been increasingly used as mammalian model animals for biomedical research because of their similarity to human beings in terms of their metabolic features and proportional organ sizes. However, despite their importance, there is a severe lack of genome-wide studies on miniature pigs. Objective In this study, we performed whole-genome sequencing analysis of 20 Micro-pigs obtained from Medi Kinetics to elucidate their genomic characteristics. Results Approximately 595 gigabase pairs (Gb) of sequence reads were generated to be mapped to the swine reference genome assembly (Sus scrofa 10.2); on average, the sequence reads covered 99.15% of the reference genome at an average of 9.6-fold coverage. We detected a total of 19,518,548 SNPs, of which 8.7% were found to be novel. With further annotation of all of the SNPs, we retrieved 144,507 nonsynonymous SNPs (nsSNPs); of these, 5968 were found in all 20 individuals used in this study. SIFT prediction for these SNPs identified that 812 nsSNPs in 402 genes were deleterious. Among these 402 genes, we identified some genes that could potentially affect traits of interest in Micro-pigs, such as RHEB and FRAS1. Furthermore, we performed runs of homozygosity analysis to locate potential selection signatures in the genome, detecting several loci that might be involved in phenotypic characteristics in Micro-pigs, such as MSTN, GDF5, and GDF11. Conclusion In this study, we identified numerous nsSNPs that could be used as candidate genetic markers with involvement in traits of interest. Furthermore, we detected putative selection footprints that might be associated with recent selection applied to miniature pigs.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the differences in the shape of the front, lateral, and rear sections of the spinal columns by dance majors. The results of the study are described below. First, with respect to the cervical spinal curvature of the lateral spinal column, there were a significantly differences between the general public and modern dance major person. Among other groups, however, there were no differences. Second, in the case of the thoracic spinal curvature, there were no significant differences between the general public and the people who major in Korean traditional dance. However, the measure of the thoracic curvature in modern dancers was greater than that found in ballerinas and Korean traditional dancers. Furthermore, the general public's thoracic spinal curvature was greater than the modern dancers'. Finally, there were no significant differences between modern dancers and the general public in the measure of their lumbar spinal curvature. Korean traditional dancers' lumbar spinal columns, however, were much more curved than the ballerinas'. In addition, modern dancers' lumbar spinal columns were much more curved than Korean traditional dancers'. Based on the results of the study, two recommendations can be proposed. First, training programs and practical courses for dance majors need to be improved simultaneously so that dancers can strengthen their abdominal muscles and increase their flexibility. Second, to avoid deterioration of backbone growth, the general public needs to build up their health through dancing or other exercise programs.

Objective:We studied the effect of Hyu-Sig-Gong-Gan and Hye-Ah-Rim on several evaluations and compared the two programs. We then investigated factors associated with the difference between pre- and post-ratings. Methods:Thirty-six patients were randomized to Hyu-Sig-Gong-Gan (n=23) or Hye-Ah-Rim (n=13). We tested for the effect of each program on several evaluations and compared the two programs through Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI), Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression Scale, Dementia Attitude Scale (DAS)-intelligence, DAS-comfort and DAS-total. We then investigated whether the difference between pre- and post-rating depends on other factors. Results:We observed significant positive effect of Hyu-Sig-Gong-Gan on DAS-comfort (t=1.843, p=0.039) and significant positive effect of Hye-Ah-Rim on ZBI (t=-2.327, p=0.019), DAS-comfort (t=2.241, p=0.022), and EuroQol-5 Dimensions-Visual Analogue Scale (t=2.537, p=0.013). For comparing the two programs, we found a lack of evidence for the difference in any of the five commonly observed evaluations. In the secondary analysis, we observed a strong trend that the two programs were particularly effective for caregivers with negative pre-ratings. Conclusion:The two programs showed positive effects on the various evaluations, but some evaluations could not reach statistical significance. The programs appear to be particularly helpful for those who are in need before the program participation.

나혜진,송제선,이제호,최형준,김성오,손흥규,최병재 大韓小兒齒科學會 2012 大韓小兒齒科學會誌 Vol.39 No.1

어린이는 8-10세 경에 외상을 자주 받으며 구강 내에서는 상악 절치부가 호발하는 부위이다. 외상으로 인하여 상악 절치가 상실되면 어린이에게 합병증을 야기할 수 있으므로 가능한 한 상악 절치를 유지해야 하지만 조기 상실되는 경우가 있다. 상악 절치의 조기 상실로 인한 합병증으로는 심미적 문제나 치조골의 수직적 높이와 수평적 너비의 감소, 인접치의 경사, 악궁 장 경 감소 등이 있다. 그 중에서 치조골이 소실되면 보철적 수복 시에 기능성과 안정성, 심미적인 면에 영향을 준다. 이 증례는 외상으로 인하여 상악 중절치가 조기 상실된 9세 여아와 6세 남아에서 각각 5년 5개월, 3년 7개월 후의 치조골 소실 정도를 cone beam computed tomography와 진단 모형 상에서 관찰하였기에 보고하는 바이다. The anterior maxillary incisor is the most traumatized region in the mouth and trauma is frequent between the ages of 8-10. Traumatic loss of teeth, can lead to many complications in children. Thus, as possible to keep traumatic teeth, but if you need extractions There may be. Complications occur and early tooth loss is frequent. Complications of early loss of central incisors are esthetic compromise, loss of vertical and horizontal width, height, contour of alveolar bone, tilting of adjacent teeth, arch length loss. Alveolar bone loss may affect normal function and stability, and results in esthetic problem for future prosthesis restoration. The 9-year-old girl and 6-year-old boy got early loss of upper central incisor. The amount of alveolar bone resorption was measured using cone beam computed tomograph and cast analysis.

A 10 month-old Korean domestic shorthaired cat(male, 1.4kg)was admitted to the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital of Chungnam National University with the history of astasia the onest of which was 3 month ago and all-meat diets. Physical examination revealed thin, growth retarded and lying in lateral recumbency. Radiograph showed abnormally radiolucent bones, thin cortices, kyphosis and lordosis of the spine and multiple fractures of the femurs. Result of serum biochemical test revealed mild hypocarcemia. Serum parathormone and 1, 25(OH)2-vitamin D3 levels were markedly elevated, whereas 25(OH)-vitamin D3 level was in normal range. Nutritional secondary hyperparathyroidism was diagnosed by history taking, physical examination, laboratory examination and radiography. Calcium gluconate with balanced commercial cat food was given. On 24 days later, improvements were found in clinical signs and radiographs.

Asarum consists low-growing herbs and is a genus in the Aristo-lochiaceae family with species found in the north temperate zones with most species in Asia. Any species with a highly structured variation pattern must show different distributions of phenotypic characteristics at different locations. I analysed intra- and interspecific phylogenic relationships within genus Asarum in Korea. I evaluated a representative sample of the fourteen taxa (eight Korean taxa and six obtained taxa from GenBank) with the trn L intron and the trn L - trn F spacer region of the chloroplast genome to estimate genetic relationships within genus Asarum. No variable positions were found within the trn L 5` exon and trn L 3` exon. Variable positions within the intron region were mostly distributed outside the structural elements required for intron processing, i.e., not within the first 140 bp at the 5` end and not within the 90 bp at the 3` end of the intron region. Within the spacer region, variable positions were evenly distributed. Alignment of the DNA sequences required adding numerous gaps. Sequence variation within the Asarum is mostly due to nucleotide substitutions, although several small indels and 20 inserts can be found. Another source of sequence divergence is length variation due to stretches of short repeats that occur at the intergenic spacer region ITS2 in all the Asarum. A + T content for eight Korean species of genus Asarum ranged between 64.3% and 64.6%. The base furtherance did not showed the significant difference to the by a total taxon. These values are similar to those (64.5%~67.1%) for the angiosperm alignments of the total trn L and trn F region. The main phylogenetic analysis revealed two distinct clades. The first clade includes ten species (eight Korean species, A. nipponicum, and A. tamaensis). The second clade includes four species (A. canadense , A. cautatum, A. chingchengense , and A. yakusimense). However, some internal nodes are poorly supported. Within Korean Asarum, four species were unsolved portions.

A 5-year-old German Shepherd dog(intact male, 27kg) was admitted to the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital of Chungnam National University with the history of anorexia and vomiting. On physical examination, he was depressed and had abdominal distention. A complete blood count indicated leukocytosis and anemia. Radiographic findings included a large soft tissue mass in the middle to caudal abdomen and loss of serosal detail. Ultrasonographs showed splenomegaly with mixed ethoic parenchyma, hyperechoic area around the splenic hilus, and loss of venous flow. Computed tomography revealed enlarged spleen with partially enhanced parenchyma. Chronic isolated splenic torsion was diagnosed and splenectomy was performed. Histopathologic examination revealed chronic passive congestion of the spleen. He was recovered normally after surgery without any complications.

홍은혜,최병재,이제호,최형준,손흥규,김성오 대한소아치과학회 2007 大韓小兒齒科學會誌 Vol.34 No.2

점액낭종은 소타액선 분비관의 폐쇄나 파열로 타액이 저류되어 발생하는 연조직 부종이고, 비교적 높은 빈도로 발생하는 구강내 가성 낭종으로 스스로 파열되어 치유되기도 하지만 대개는 만성적으로 진행되어 몇 주에서 몇 달간 지속되기 때문에 치료가 필요하다. 점액 낭종의 발생시, 주변에 이환된 소타액선을 포함하여 제거하는 완전절제술 외에 재발율을 낮추기 위한 스테로이드의 국소적 주입, 냉동동결요법(cryotherapy), 미세조대술(micromarsupialization) 등의 여러 가지 치료방법이 제시되고 있다. 완전절제술의 한 방법으로 생검펀치(biopsy punch)를 이용할 수 있는데, 조작이 간편하고 출혈이 적으며 술 후 처치가 거의 필요없다는 장점이 있다. 이 증례는 점액낭종이 있고 행동 조절이 힘든 소아에서 생검펀치를 사용하여 점액낭종을 완전히 제거한 경우로, 양호한 결과를 얻었다. Mucocele is a clinical term of the localized superficial mucosal swelling caused by salivary retention after the obstruction or the rupture of minor salivary ducts. Various treatment methods have been suggested to lower its recurrence rate, including complete excision of lesion Biopsy punch can be used easily and simply for complete excision of mucocele. It has several advantages, such as convenience in use, low bleeding tendency, and nearly no requirements for post-operative management. In this case, biopsy punch was used for the removal of mucocele in an uncooperative child, which enable fast, simple and safe procedure, with a good result.
