The effect of calcium doping on the superconducting properties of top seeded melt growth (TSMG) processed Y<SUB>1.5</SUB>Ba<SUB>2-x</SUB>Ca<SUB>x</SUB>Cu<SUB>3</SUB>O<SUB>y</SUB> superconductors was studied in terms of calcium content (X<SUB>ca</SUB>). YBa<SUB>2-x</SUB>Ca<SUB>x</SUB>Cu<SUB>3</SUB>O<SUB>7-δ</SUB> (X<SUB>ca</SUB>=0, 0.005, 0.01, 0.02, 0.04, 0.1, 0.3) powders were synthesized by the powder calcination method. YBa<SUB>2-x</SUB>Ca<SUB>x</SUB>Cu<SUB>3</SUB>O<SUB>7-δ</SUB> powders were mixed with 0.25mole Y<SUB>2</SUB>O<SUB>3</SUB> powder and 1wt.% CeO<SUB>2</SUB> as Y<SUB>2</SUB>BaCuO<SUB>5</SUB> (Y211) refiner, and finally made into Y<SUB>1</SUB>.<SUB>5</SUB>Ba<SUB>2-x</SUB>Ca<SUB>x</SUB>Cu<SUB>3</SUB>O<SUB>y</SUB> (Y1.5)+1wt.% CeO<SUB>2</SUB> composition. The single Y123 growth on the top surface was observed up to X<SUB>ca</SUB>=0.1, while the multiple Y123 growth was observed at X<SUB>ca</SUB>≥0.1. The superconducting transition temperature (T<SUB>c</SUB>) and critical current density (J<SUB>c</SUB>) of TSMG processed Y1.5 samples were inversely proportional to X<SUB>ca</SUB>. The Y211 size increased with increasing X<SUB>ca</SUB> due to the enhancement of Y211 coarsening by calcium doping. No Y211 refining effect by CeO<SUB>2</SUB> was observed in the calcium doped samples. The T<SUB>c</SUB> and J<SUB>c</SUB> decrease by calcium doping are likely to be due to the calcium incorporation with the Y123 lattice and formation of coarse Y211 particles.

Drastic anthocyanin increase in response to PAP1 overexpression in fls1 knockout mutant confers enhanced osmotic stress tolerance in Arabidopsis thaliana

Lee, W. J.,Jeong, C. Y.,Kwon, J.,Kien, V.,Lee, D.,Hong, S. W.,Lee, H. Springer Science + Business Media 2016 Plant cell reports Vol.35 No.11

<P>pap1 - D/fls1ko double mutant plants that produce substantial amounts of anthocyanin show tolerance to abiotic stress. Anthocyanins are flavonoids that are abundant in various plants and have beneficial effects on both plants and humans. Many genes in flavonoid biosynthetic pathways have been identified, including those in the MYB-bHLH-WD40 (MBW) complex. The MYB gene Production of Anthocyanin Pigment 1 (PAP1) plays a particularly important role in anthocyanin accumulation. PAP1 expression in many plant systems strongly increases anthocyanin levels, resulting in a dark purple color in many plant organs. In this study, we generated double mutant plants that harbor fls1ko in the pap1-D background (i.e., pap1-D/fls1ko plants), to examine whether anthocyanins can be further enhanced by blocking flavonol biosynthesis under PAP1 overexpression. We also wanted to examine whether the increased anthocyanin levels contribute to defense against osmotic stresses. The pap1-D/fls1ko mutants accumulated higher anthocyanin levels than pap1-D plants in both control and sucrose-treated conditions. However, flavonoid biosynthesis genes were slightly down-regulated in the pap1-D/fls1ko seedlings as compared to their expression in pap1-D seedlings. We also report the performance of pap1-D/fls1ko seedlings in response to plant osmotic stresses.</P>

Clinical outcomes of venous thromboembolism with dalteparin therapy in multiple myeloma patients

Lee, S.E.,Jeon, Y.W.,Yoon, J.H.,Cho, B.S.,Eom, K.S.,Kim, Y.J.,Kim, H.J.,Lee, S.,Cho, S.G.,Kim, D.W.,Lee, J.W.,Min, W.S.,Kim, M.,Min, C.K. Pergamon Press 2015 Thrombosis research Vol.136 No.5

This study focused on the clinical outcomes in multiple myeloma (MM) patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE) who received low-molecular-weight heparin (dalteparin) therapy. Changes in D-dimer levels before and after VTE were also evaluated. Among 549 patients treated with various chemotherapeutic agents, a total of 52 (9.47%) patients including 32 newly diagnosed with MM and 16 with relapsed/refractory MM developed VTE, 48 of whom received dalteparin. Among the 48 treated patients, 37 (77%) had proximal deep vein thrombosis (DVT), four had (8%) pulmonary embolism (PE), and seven (15%) had both DVT and PE. In 32 patients with available paired samples (at baseline and VTE occurrence), significant conversion of D-dimer levels from 2.2+/-0.4mg/L to 11.8+/-1.6mg/L (P<0.001) was observed, which decreased from 10.9+/-0.4mg/L to 1.9+/-0.6mg/L one month after initiating dalteparin therapy. A total of 44 patients received dalteparin with a median duration of 4.2months (range, 2.7-9.4), and four patients were discontinued early due to death (n=3) and major bleeding (n=1). After a median follow-up of 9.0months (range, 0.7-35.8) since the first VTE episode, five patients showed recurrence of VTE with a cumulative incidence of 17.5+/-7.9%. Major bleeding occurred in three patients. In summary, dalteparin seems to be a promising drug for the treatment of VTE in MM. In addition, the significant difference in D-dimer levels observed before occurrence of VTE and after dalteparin treatment may suggest the usefulness of D-dimer testing as a surrogate marker for VTE in MM patients.

Mahalanobis’s Distance(D²) statistic in all possible comparisons among fifty varieties of pepper (Capsicum annunm L.) for sixteen morphological characters were compiled of the genetic differences among the varieities and varietal classification was made by single link cluster analysis based on the D²S. Mahalanobis’s Distance revealed great variation from 5.327 to 888.440 in 1,125 inter-varietal comparisons. According to the dendrogram based on the D²S, fifty varieties were classified into fourteen varietal groups, of which three (V, VIII, XIV) consisted of single variety. The averages of intra-group D²S except varietal group X, XI and XII were lower than those of inter-group D²S. Factors mostly contributing to the inter-group D²S were number of days to flowering, fruit length, fresh/dry fruit-weight ratio, and plant height. Most of the varietal groups were not associated with, their geographical origin, but several varieties collected from adjacent localities were grouped in the same varietal group or in neighboring varietal groups. Each varietal group was distinctly characterized by many major morphological characters.

d-pinitol regulates Th1/Th2 balance via suppressing Th2 immune response in ovalbumin-induced asthma

Lee, J.S.,Lee, C.M.,Jeong, Y.I.,Jung, I.D.,Kim, B.H.,Seong, E.Y.,Kim, J.I.,Choi, I.W.,Chung, H.Y.,Park, Y.M. North-Holland Pub ; Elsevier Science Ltd 2007 FEBS letters Vol.581 No.1

d-pinitol has been demonstrated to exert insulin-like and anti-inflammatory activities. However, its anti-allergic effect in the Th1/Th2 immune response is poorly understood. Recently, it was shown that T-bet and GATA-3 are master Th1 and Th2 regulatory transcription factors. In this study, we have attempted to determine whether d-pinitol regulates Th1/Th2 cytokine production, T-bet and GATA-3 gene expression in OVA-induced asthma model mice. We also examined to ascertain whether d-pinitol could influence eosinophil peroxidase (EPO) activity. After being sensitized and challenged with ovalbumin (OVA) showed typical asthmatic reactions. These reactions included an increase in the number of eosinophils in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid, an increase in inflammatory cell infiltration into the lung tissue around blood vessels and airways, airway luminal narrowing, and the development of airway hyper-responsiveness (AHR). The administration of d-pinitol before the last airway OVA challenge resulted in a significant inhibition of all asthmatic reactions. Accordingly, this study may provide evidence that d-pinitol plays a critical role in the amelioration of the pathogenetic process of asthma in mice. These findings provide new insight into the immunopharmacological role of d-pinitol in terms of its effects in a murine model of asthma, and also broaden current perspectives in our understanding of the immunopharmacological functions of d-pinitol.

Structural insights into conserved l-arabinose metabolic enzymes reveal the substrate binding site of a thermophilic l-arabinose isomerase

Lee, Y.J.,Lee, S.J.,Kim, S.B.,Lee, S.J.,Lee, S.H.,Lee, D.W. North-Holland Pub ; Elsevier Science Ltd 2014 FEBS letters Vol.588 No.6

Structural genomics demonstrates that despite low levels of structural similarity of proteins comprising a metabolic pathway, their substrate binding regions are likely to be conserved. Herein based on the 3D-structures of the α/β-fold proteins involved in the ara operon, we attempted to predict the substrate binding residues of thermophilic Geobacillus stearothermophilusl-arabinose isomerase (GSAI) with no 3D-structure available. Comparison of the structures of l-arabinose catabolic enzymes revealed a conserved feature to form the substrate-binding modules, which can be extended to predict the substrate binding site of GSAI (i.e., D195, E261 and E333). Moreover, these data implicated that proteins in the l-arabinose metabolic pathway might retain their substrate binding niches as the modular structure through conserved molecular evolution even with totally different structural scaffolds.

We tried to inquire the people's views on nursing or nurses, correct the image of nurse and take it as a basis to be applied on nursing education examining the image of nursing on Television drama playing a important role of mass media. 523 nurses of the characters in drama is applied to the analysis object of this study by selecting 3 American medical dramas, Grey's Anatomy, House M.D, E.R from 2005 to 2007. Contents analysis method was used in Data Analysis, which was used in Lim Mi-lim ?Research on contents analysis on image of nursing on television drama?, 7 Items was used after Coders previously modify and compensate it based on research documents of Kalish & Kalisch(1986), Yoon Young(1983), Lee Hye-Ok(1982), Lee Young-Bok, etc in analysis items. Before making the coding, we did pre-test. 6 Coders made of 3teams, 2 Coders are in each team, made the Codings the article on each person by Item seeing the recorded Film. An each team makes coding about 50episodes, total 147episodes for 2weeks. We used double coding and when the results are different between two coders, we decided just one result through mutual agreement. The average of reliability degree was 97.4% which measured the reliability degree by the method of Holsti. The statistic method of Frequency, Percentage was used using EXCEL Program in data processing. The result of research is as follows. 1. The general feature of nurses on the drama is that they are women(92.7%) which is 20 or 30-aged(70.5%). 2. Relative importance of 65.2% nurses in drama is depicted as surrounding characters and most of them was expressed as the character plating surrounding role. 3. The affair attitude of nurses shown on drama is revealed as active(24.5%), autonomous(32%), kind(16.8%), mechanical(23.2%) and adept(28.4%). However, unknown category is the highest in all affairs. 4. The professional activity of nurses was classified with professional/simple affair, The professional activity of nurses was 80% and simple activity of nurses was 22.9%. The professional activity of nurses was classified with personal/assistant affair. The personal activity of nurses was 61.9% and assistant activity of nurses was 15.1%. 5. The place nurses of the drama appears are hospital(97.7%). 6. The appearance feature of nurses is shown on common physique (55.0%), common stature(79.3%), common appearance(76.1%), common dignity(97.5%) and decent (51.1%). 7. The feature of character of nurses depicted on Television drama is neutral in all 11 affairs. We want the following epigraph based on above conclusion. 1. The continuos research intended for mass people is required about how their image of nurse is changed after watching medical drama. 2. The research to construct monitoring mass media system and make plans for developing is required for nurse image being in a triangular position as a professional job.

200 GeV/핵자 유황이온과 핵건판핵의 충돌에 의해 생성된 헬륨 파쇄핵의 극한파쇄 연구

고에너지 중이온 원자핵과 핵건판의 충돌에서, 200GeV/핵자 유황이온에 의해 생성된 파쇄 헬륨핵(Z=2)의 실험실계의 방출각 분포는 표적핵에 무관한 회귀공식. dN=exp[a+k exp(η-y_b)]d[exp(η-y_b)]로 잘 표현된다. 여기에서 의사신속도 η=-ln[tan(θ/2)]이고, y_b는 실험실계의 입사입자(^32S)의 신속도이다. 이 공식에 의한 적합에서 k=-0.057±0.008로 얻어진다. 즉, 핵건판과 고에너지 중이온의 충돌에서 파쇄 헬륨핵의 exp(η-y_b)의 분포는 "극한파쇄" 현상을 잘 설명하고 있다. The angular distribution of emission angle θ of helium (Z=2) produced in the collisions of incident particles of 200 GeV/nucleon ^32S in nuclear emulsion is well expressed by dN=exp[a+k exp(η-y_b)]d[exp(η-y_b)] where the pseudorapidity is η=-ln[tan(θ/2)], the laboratory system primary rapidity is y_b, and k=-0.057+0.008. The shape of this frequency of occurrence distributions in terms of exp(η-y_b) attests to the validity of the concept of "limiting fragmentation" for helium projectile fragments produced in the projectile fragmentation regions of heavy ion collisions in nuclear emulsion.
