Yue Li,Jing-Ying Zhang,Xin-Yue Zhao,Li-Ya Pan,De-Hao Jin,He-Xing Xu,Hu-Zhe Cui,Yan-Qun Liu,Xiang-Zheng Qin,Qingyuan Li 대한정형외과학회 2021 Clinics in Orthopedic Surgery Vol.13 No.2

Background: The accessory tendon of the extensor hallucis longus (ATEHL) muscle is a common abnormal structure, and its clinical significance remains debatable. In this study, we provide the incidence of the ATEHL and characterize its morphological types in Asian cadavers and investigate its clinical applications. Methods: The tendons from 50 adult cadaveric feet, fixed in 10% formalin, were analyzed. We measured the length and width of both the ATEHL and the extensor hallucis brevis (EHB). Results: All dissected specimens had an ATEHL. The first metatarsophalangeal joint was surrounded by an accessory tendon that inserted onto the joint capsule and the dorsal base of the proximal phalanx. We classified the ATEHL into 3 types based on their directions. Differences in ATEHL type based on sex were not statistically significant. Conclusions: We found an ATEHL in all cadaveric specimens in this study. We surmise that the ATEHL acts as an antagonist with the EHB when the toe is extending, which might help prevent the occurrence of hallux valgus deformity.

Xin-Yue Liu,Qing-Fang Yue,Lei Chen,Xiao-Mei She,Bin Hu,Yu Hu,Ping Zou 연세대학교의과대학 2016 Yonsei medical journal Vol.57 No.2

Purpose: The objective was to determine the characteristics and prognostic factors of 86 Chinese patients with trisomy 8 aberrationsand compare the prognostic value of International Prognostic System (IPSS) and Revised IPSS (IPSS-R) in this cohort. Materials and Methods: A total of 86 cases diagnosed with primary myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) with isolated tr8 or with tr8 and other additional cytogenetic aberrations diagnosed and treated at the Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology between July 2002 and March 2013 were reviewed. Results: The median survival of the entire group was 23.0 months, and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) developed in 43% (37/86) patients within the follow up time. The univariate analysis revealed that overall survival (OS) was correlated with age, thrombocytopenia,absolute neutrophil count, marrow blasts, cytogenetic status and red blood cell transfusion at diagnosis, and the multivariateanalysis revealed that age, marrow blasts, cytogenetic status and transfusion dependence were independent parameters for the OS. The cytogenetic complexity and marrow blasts had the strongest impact on the AML transformation by multivariate analysis. Comparing the two prognostic systems, both two systems could successfully discriminate risk groups for survival. IPSS-R was more refined than IPSS for predicting OS, but had no advantage in predicting the risk of AML development. Conclusion: This study confirmed the influence of clinical factors on the prognosis of 86 Chinese MDS patients with trisomy 8. In addition, IPSS-R can further refine prognostic discrimination in the IPSS risk categories.

Yue-Xin Liu,Shi-Man Du,Jie Cao,Wen-sheng Huang,Xiao-Ru Zhang,Bao-Ping Qi,Sheng-Hui Zhang 대한화학회 2020 Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society Vol.41 No.3

N-doped porous biochar (NPB) with large conjugated systems could not only be used as enrichment carriers but also be in favor of electron transport in the electrochemical detection. The NPB-modified electrode was fabricated for the simultaneous detection of catechol (CA) and hydroquinone (HQ) to enhance the signal-to-noise ratio and further improve the sensitivity. A detection limit as low as 37 and 47?nM was achieved for CA and HQ, respectively. The proposed strategy with the merits of high sensitivity, selectivity, and reproducibility exhibited a great potential for the detection.

Yue-Xin Huang,BumKyu Kang 한국콘텐츠학회 2013 International Journal of Contents Vol.9 No.4

Chinese auspicious element is a kind of art which is used to express yearning of a happy life. It is one of the great treasures of China, with not only emotional value of the people but also an aesthetic value. Chinese auspicious element derives from the aspiration of luck, enthusiasm of life and conciseness of eliminating malicious. It is of great cultural connotation and widely used in interior design, graphic design, fashion design and such. There are many research papers on application methodology of auspicious elements; however, there are very limited research papers on three-dimension product, let alone application in tableware. This paper focuses on illustration of Chinese representative auspicious element “auspicious fish” in tableware design. The research of its application of auspicious element’s styling characteristics is of important significance in auspicious element spread and tableware design. This dissertation aims to provide referential design methodology and experience for later researches on related topic.

Vegetable Oil Intake and Breast Cancer Risk: a Meta-analysis

Xin, Yue,Li, Xiao-Yu,Sun, Shi-Ran,Wang, Li-Xia,Huang, Tao Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2015 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.16 No.12

Background: Total fat intake may be associated with increased risk of breast cancer, and fish oil has been suggested as a protection factor to breast cancer. But the effect of vegetable oils is inconclusive. We aimed to investigate the association with high vegetable oils consumption and breast cancer risk, and evaluated their dose-response relationship. Design: We systematically searched the MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane databases, and CNKI updated to December 2014, and identified all observational studies providing quantitative estimates between breast cancer risk and different vegetable oils consumption. Fixed or random effect models were used to estimate summary odds ratios for the highest vs. lowest intake, and dose-response relationship was assessed by restricted cubic spline model and generalized least-squares trend (GLST) model. Results: Five prospective cohort studies and 11 retrospective case-control studies, involving 11,161 breast cancer events from more than 150,000 females, met the inclusion criteria. Compared with the lowest vegetable oils consumption, higher intake didn't increased the risk of breast cancer with pooled OR of 0.88 (95% CIs:0.77-1.01), and the result from dose-response analyses didn't show a significant positive or negative trend on the breast cancer risk for each 10g vegetable oil/day increment (OR=0.98, 95% CIs: 0.95-1.01). In the subgroup analyses, the oils might impact on females with different strata of BMI. Higher olive oil intake showed a protective effect against breast cancer with OR of 0.74 (95% CIs: 0.60-0.92), which was not significant among the three cohort studies. Conclusions: This meta-analyses suggested that higher intake of vegetable oils is not associated with the higher risk of breast cancer. Olive oil might be a protective factor for the cancer occurrence among case-control studies and from the whole. Recall bias and imbalance in study location and vegetable oils subtypes shouldn't be ignored. More prospective cohort studies are required to confirm the interaction of the impact of vegetable oils on different population and various cancer characteristic, and further investigate the relationship between different subtype oils and breast cancer.

companies in the logistics industry to achieve intelligent sorting, network optimization, real-time tracking and simplifying last-mile service. Although logistics entities are trying to introduce IoT into their business areas, users’ perception of this new technology is still limited. This paper aims to develop a research model for the factors influencing the user adoption of IoT technology in the logistics industry. Design/methodology/approach – In this study, based on the major theories on the application of new technologies such as technology acceptance model (TAM), technology–organization–environment (TOE) and innovation diffusion theory (IDT), a new research model was established to identify factors affecting customers’ behavioral intention (BI) to adopt IoT technology provided by logistics companies. In addition, the authors surveyed unspecified customers of Cainiao Logistics Network, which is in charge of the logistics operation of Alibaba Group, China’s largest e-commerce company, and tested the causality between the latent variables presented in the model using the structural equation model (SEM). Findings – This empirical study shows that the support system of a logistics company and users’ innovative propensity significantly affect perceived ease of use (PEOU) and BI for logistics services to which IoT technology is applied. It also presents that users’ perceived security and enjoyment significantly affect perceived usefulness (PU) and BI. In addition, it was possible to confirm that the causal structure between variables suggested by TAM that PEOU has a significant effect on PU and BI, and PU has a substantial effect on BI. Practical implications – Logistics companies should expand and upgrade technical support systems so that customers can flexibly accept logistics services with IoT technology and make efforts to alleviate customers’ concerns about personal information leakage. In addition, it is necessary to find customers with an inclusive attitude toward using new technologies, to induce them to become leading users of logistics devices with IoT technology and to find various ways to amplify their enjoyment. Through a strategic approach to these technical and individual factors, it will be possible to boost customers’ intention to use IoT logistics services. Originality/value – As far as the authors know, this paper is the first study to set significant factors that affect users’ BI to use IoT technology-applied logistics services provided by logistics companies and empirically analyze the causal relationships between proposed latent variables.

장심렬 ( Xin Yue Zhang ),천순덕 ( Soon Deok Ceon ) 한국관광산업학회 2014 Tourism Research Vol.39 No.4

최근 관광정보는 관광 상품을 관광객에게 알리는 중요한 홍보수단으로 활용되고 있으며, 그 중에서도 SNS를 활용한 SNS 관광정보가 큰 영향력을 발휘하고 있다. 중국 역시 SNS가 조금 늦게 시작 했지만 놀라운 속도로 발전 하면서 SNS 시장규모 사회적 영향력 또한 높아지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 SNS 관광정보의 특성이 관광정보의 확산성과 신뢰성에 미치는 영향관계와 정보의 확산성과 신뢰성이 관광지 선호도에 어떻게 영향을 미치는지에 관해 분석하고자 하였다. 분석결과를 살펴보면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 중국방문객 중 SNS 이용자들은 SNS 관광정보를 통해 주로 관광지 및 명소 등 관광자원 (36.2%)과 숙박(22.5%), 여행가격(15.3%)등의 정보를 얻고자 하였다. 특히 SNS 관광정보의 활용도에 대해서는 긍정적(보통, 높다, 매우 높다)이라는 답변이 74.9%에 이르렀다. 둘째, SNS관광정보의 특성중에 유용성, 경제성, 적시성이 관광정보 확산성에 유의한 영향을 미치며, 그중 유용성의 영향력이 제일 높게 나타났다. 또한 상호작용성은 확산성에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 검증되었다. 셋째, SNS관광정보의 특성 (유용성, 상호작용성, 경제성, 적시성)은 신뢰성에 유의한 영향을 미치며, 그중 경제성의 영향력이 제일 높은 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 매개변수인 관광정보 확산성은 신뢰성에 유의한 영향력을 미치는 것으로 검증되었다. 마지막으로, 확산성과 신뢰성이 관광지 선호도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 검증되었으며 신뢰성이 확산성보다 높은 영향력을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. Social Network Service has recently been understood as a powerful way to promote tourism products; in particular, SNS has become influential in China although it was introduced in China later than in other countries. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze how the characteristics of SNS tourism information affect the spread and trust of the information and how the spread and trust affect the preference for tourist attractions. The results are as follows. First, Chinese SNS users obtain information about tourism resources (36.2%), accomodations (22.5%), prices (15.3%) and 74.9% of respondents positively evaluate the effectiveness of SNS tourism information. Second, usefulness, feasibility, and timeliness of SNS tourism information significantly influenced spread of the information; in particular, usefulness was the most influential. Interaction also significantly influences spread of the information. Third, usefulness, interaction, feasibility, and timeliness of SNS tourism information significantly influenced trust of the information; in particular, feasibility was the most influential. Fourth, the mediating role of spread was confirmed. Finally, spread and trust significantly influence preference for tourist attractions and trust more strongly affects the preference than spread.

Research on the Efficiency and Influencing Factors of Korea's Foreign Direct Investment in RCEP Partners

Wang Xin-Yue,Xi Chen,Li Chen,Qing Wang 한국무역학회 2022 Journal of Korea trade Vol.26 No.4

Purpose – In this paper, we, taking South Korea's foreign direct investment in RCEP partners as an example, will examine its investment efficiency in these countries and analyze the main influencing factors, making suggestions for further liberalizing and facilitating its investment in and even for promoting its trade and economic cooperation with them. Design/methodology – In this study, we look at the panel data of South Korea and the other 13 RCEP countries (Brunei excluded) from 2000 to 2019 and apply the stochastic frontier analysis to measure its foreign direct investment efficiency and explore the influencing factors in RCEP countries. We examine the investment potential of South Korea in these places. Findings – We find that South Korea's average investment efficiency in RCEP countries reached 0.62, indicating large investment potential. We also find that its investment efficiency in RCEP partners was heterogeneous. Our study reveals that South Korea’s foreign direct investment is significantly positively correlated with the market size and population of the two countries, as well as with whether the host country has a coastline and rich natural resources, while negatively with geographic distance. It shows that free trade agreements, economic freedom, and regulatory quality play significant roles in improving investment efficiency. Originality/value – Through theoretical and empirical analysis, we deal with the efficiency and influencing factors of South Korea's direct investment in RCEP partners, proposing new drivers for facilitating its trade and investment in these countries and comprehensively evaluating the efficiency and revealing the trend of its FDI in these countries. In this paper, we put forward a solid theoretical basis for empirical analysis of the future economic and trade development between South Korea and its RCEP partners and give objective insights for further improving its foreign direct investment efficiency and tapping its investment potential.
