Background: Nail can be affected by trauma, infection, and systematic disorders. In particular, the toe nails are exposed to the repeated and cumulative minor traumas, which usually result in thickened, splitted, and discolorated nails. Considering these, it can be inferred that the long second toe can be related to various nail and skin changes by repeated minor traumas such as friction in shoes, but the study or report on this topic hasn’t been done yet. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to introduce various nail and skin changes on long second toe. Methods: We analyzed the kinds of nail/skin changes of 50 patients with long second toe, enrolled at Pusan National University Hospitals (Busan and Yangsan) from 2013 to 2018. Results: There was no significant difference in the incidence of left and right toe and toenail, and 7 (14%) patients presented bilateral distribution. The most common nail change on long second toe was melanonychia (23, 46%), followed by subungual hematoma (15, 30%), onycholysis (2, 4%), subungual hyperkeratosis (2, 4%), onychomadesis (1, 2%), and retronychia (1, 2%). The most common skin change was corn (9, 18%), followed by paronychia (2, 4%). Twenty (20/50, 40%) patients also had other toe or toenail changes. Among them, the most common site was big toe/nail (13, 62%), and the most common change was subungual hematoma (8, 42%). Conclusion: Through this study, the dermatologists can recognize and diagnose the nail and skin changes of long second toe.

Background: The aim of our study was to evaluate the “diagnosis changed” rate in patients notified as tuberculosis (TB) on the Korean TB surveillance system (KTBS). Methods: A total of 1,273 patients notified as TB cases on the KTBS in one private tertiary hospital in 2011 were enrolled in the present study. Patients were classified into three groups: “diagnosis maintained”, “diagnosis changed” (initially notified as TB, but ultimately diagnosed as non-TB), and “administrative error” (notified as TB due to administrative errors). Results: Excluding 17 patients in the “administrative error” group, the “diagnosis maintained” and “diagnosis changed” groups included 1,097 (87.3%) and 159 patients (12.7%), respectively. Common causes of “diagnosis changed” were nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) disease (51.7%, 61/118), and pneumonia (17.8%) in cases notified as pulmonary TB, and meningitis (19.5%, 8/41) and Crohn`s disease (12.2%) in cases notified as extrapulmonary TB. Being older than 35 years of age (odds ratio [OR], 2.18) and a positive acid-fast bacilli stain (OR, 1.58) were positive predictors and a TB-related radiological finding (OR, 0.42) was a negative predictor for a “diagnosis changed” result via multivariate logistic regression analysis in pulmonary TB cases. Conclusion: Because of a high “diagnosis changed” rate in TB notifications to the KTBS, the TB incidence rate measured by the KTBS may be overestimated. Considering the worldwide trend toward increased NTM disease, the “diagnosis changed” rate may increase over time. Thus, when reporting the annual TB notification rate in Korea, the exclusion of “diagnosis changed” cases is desirable.

Deciphering the Role of Tyrosine Sulfation in Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae Using Shotgun Proteomic Analysis

Park, Hye-Jee,Park, Chang-Jin,Bae, Nahee,Han, Sang-Wook The Korean Society of Plant Pathology 2016 Plant Pathology Journal Vol.32 No.3

A bacterial tyrosine sulfotransferase, RaxST, is required for activation of rice XA21-mediated immunity, and it catalyzes sulfation of tyrosine residues of Omp1X and RaxX in Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae, a causal agent of bacterial blight in rice. Although RaxST is biochemically well-characterized, biological functions of tyrosine sulfation have not been fully elucidated. We compared protein expression patterns between the wildtype and a raxST knockout mutant using shotgun proteomic analysis. Forty nine proteins displayed a more than 1.5-fold difference in their expression between the wildtype and the mutant strains. Clusters of orthologous groups analysis revealed that proteins involved in cell motility were most abundant, and phenotypic observation also showed that the twitching motility of the mutant was dramatically changed. These results indicate that tyrosine sulfation by RaxST is essential for Xoo movement, and they provide new insights into the biological roles of RaxST in cellular processes.

Microcavity Effect of Top-emission Organic Light-emitting Diodes Using Aluminum Cathode and Anode

Lee, Chang-Jun,Park, Young-Il,Kwon, Jang-Hyuk,Park, Jong-Wook Korean Chemical Society 2005 Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society Vol.26 No.9

We report microcavity effect of top emission organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) by using Al cathode and anode, which are feasible for not only top emission EL and angle dependant effects but facile evaporation process without ion sputtering. The device in case of $Alq_3$ green emission showed largely shifted EL maximum wavelength as 650 nm maximum emission. It was also observed that detection angle causes different EL maximum wavelength and different CIE values in R, G, B color emission. As a result, the green device using $Alq_3$ emission showed 650 nm emission ($0^{\circ}$) to 576 nm emission ($90^{\circ}$) as detection angle changed. We believe that these phenomena can be also explained with microcavity effect which depends on the different length of light path caused by detection angle.

Glomus tumors are benign neoplasms that are derived from modified smooth muscle cells known as glomus cells. Histologically, it can be subdivided as glomus tumor proper, glomangioma, and glomangiomyoma according to relative proportions of components. Glomangiomyomas are the least frequent type and their overall architectural pattern may resemble glomus tumor proper or glomangioma, but there is a gradual transition from glomus cells to elongated mature smooth muscle cells. This transition is most obvious in the region surrounding large vessels. We present a case of glomangiomyoma of the left upper arm and the left fourth finger, in which ten-year history of two painful, bluish-colored subcutaneous nodules. On histologic examination, this case showed marked smooth muscle cell proliferation around large vessles and mucinous stromal change. (Korean J Dermatol 2001;39(10) 1147-1151)

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of slow release fertilizers (SRF), crotonylidene diurea (CDU) and latex coated urea (LCU), on nitrogen (N) use efficiency (NUE) and nitrate-N leaching in a silty clay loam soil under polyethylene film mulching (PFM) for sesame cultivation. In PFM plot, concentrations of NO3-N and NH4-N in SRF applied soils were less than that in the urea plot during the whole growing period. However, NO3-N and NH4-N in all the non-mulched plots (NM) were not significantly different. Urea-N in soil treated with SRF was higher than urea plot until 50 days after application and was comparable in all the treatments after 50 days. NO3-N concentrations in leached solution in 21 days after urea fertilization in PFM and NM were 26 mg L-1 and 83 mg L-1 , respectively. However, NO3-N in leached solution at applied CDU and LCU was less than that of urea similar to nitrate concentration in soil. NO3-N in leached solution in applied CDU and LCU in 44 days after application was about 25% lower than that urea plot and PFM, while the NO3-N concentration of CDU and LCU treatment in NM did not changed. Application of SRF increased the yield of sesame and N recovery compared to urea and there was a little difference between SRF and N levels. In conclusion, application of 80% N level with SRF increased N recovery and reduced nitrate leaching without reduction of yields compared with urea application.

We believe that these phenomena can be also explained with microcavity effect which depends on the different length of light path caused by detection angle.

Telecommunications-based financial fraud has caused tremendous damage to the financial life of Korea since the early 2000s. The initial method of crime of telecommunications-based financial fraud criminals was voice Phishing, but later developed into Pharming, Memory Hacking and Smishing. Recently, it has become difficult to commit such crimes because of the government’s and financial institutions’ efforts to promote crime prevention. Scammers have developed their own techniques and used Qshing and the Obscene Video Chat Phishing, in which the criminal seduces others to find their flaws and exploit them to steal money. According to the National Police Agency statistics, a total of 6,227 telecommunication-based financial fraud (Phishing, Pharming, Smishing, Memory Hacking, and Obscene Video Chat Phishing) incidents occurred solely in the year of 2016, and the total amount of financial damage was more than 27.4 billion won. However, considering the cases of undeclared crimes, such as incidents or financial damage that are not reported in the statistics of the National Police Agency, it is estimated that the extent of damage will be much greater than stated by the police statistics. The Financial Services Commission, the National Police Agency, and the Financial Company have continually worked to minimize these damages. The government and the National Assembly have adopted 「Digital Signature Act」, 「Electronic Financial Transaction Act」, 「Act on the Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, etc」, 「Personal Information Protection Act」, and 「Special Act on the Prevention of Losses Caused by Telecommunications-Based Financial Fraud and Refund for Loss」. They have tried to prevent telecommunications-based financial fraud by utilizing these legal safeguards. The police have operated 112 centers to try to help victims of voice phishing. Financial institutions and companies have strengthened the security regarding the issuance and reissuance of public key certificates. They used a system that delayed ATM withdrawals for a certain amount of time. They also tried to prevent the occurrence of borrowed or stolen accounts that are being exploited as a major means of committing telecommunications-based financial fraud. Despite these efforts, telecommunications-based financial fraud has not been blocked, and the damage still remains. Therefore, fundamental examination and revision of the countermeasures against telecommunications-based financial fraud is necessary. The IP address tampering through borrowed or stolen accounts or VPNs should be continuously regulated to prevent telecommunications-based financial frauds. The laws related to telecommunication-based financial fraud should be revised to establish systematic regulatory bases. In addition, it is necessary to create a system that can detect the occurrence of such crime in advance. And it is necessary to create a unified organization responsible for telecommunication-based financial fraud that can effectively carry out such fraud prevention tasks. As a legal device to aid the victims in the aftermath, it is also necessary to create funds for the victim`s relief and to activate insurance systems. These policies are not perfect countermeasures against telecommunications-based financial fraud. This is because, based on how the methods of telecommunications-based financial fraud has evolved over the past decade, no one can predict how such methods will evolve and how the degree of damage will change.
