Jun Ho Kim, Eun Sun Jung, Chul-Hyun Kim, Hyeon Youn and Hwa Rye Kim. Genetic associations of body composition, flexibilityand injury risk with ACE, ACTN3and COL5A1polymorphisms in Korean ballerinas. JENB., Vol. 18, No. 2, pp.205-214, 2014[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to exam the association of body composition, flexibility, and injury risk to genetic polymorphismsincluding ACEID, ACTN3RX, and COL5A1polymorphisms in ballet dancers in Korea. [Methods]For the purpose of this study,elite ballerinas (n = 97) and normal female adults (n = 203) aged 18 to 39 were recruited and these participants were tested forbody weight, height, body fat, fat free mass, flexibility, injury risks on the joints and gene polymorphisms (ACE, ACTN3, COL5A1polymorphism). [Results]As results, the ACEDD genotype in ballerinas was associated with higher body fat and percentageof body fat than the ACEII and ID genotypes (p< 0.05). In the study on the ACTN3polymorphism and ballerinas, the XXgenotype in ballerinas had lower body weight and lower fat-free mass than the RR and RX genotype (p < 0.005). Also, the meansof sit and reach test for flexibility was lower in the ACTN3XX genotype of ballerinas than the RR and RX genotype of ballerinas(p< 0.05). Among the sports injuries, the ankle injury of the XX-genotyped ballerinas was in significantly more prevalence thanthe RR and XX-genotyped ballerinas (p< 0.05). According to the odd ratio analysis, XX-genotyped ballerinas have the injuryrisk on the ankle about 4.7 (95% CI: 1.6~13.4, p< 0.05) times more than the RR and RX-genotyped ballerinas. Meanwhile, theCOL5A1polymorphism in ballerinas has no association with any factors including flexibility and injury risks. [Conclusion]Inconclusion, ACEpolymorphism and ACTN3polymorphism were associated with ballerinas` performance capacity; COL5A1wasnot associated with any factors of performance of Ballerinas. The results suggested that the ACEDD genotype is associated withhigh body fat, the ACTN3XX genotype is associated with low fat-free mass, low flexibility, and higher risk of ankle-joint injury.

Background: Intratumoral injection of OK-432 produced significant antitumor effects. There are reports that OK-432 was injected directly into tumor tissue on gastrointestinal tracts and HCC tissue, producing decrease in serum alpha-fetoprotein level. We adopted this technique for treating locally advanced lung cancer. The object of this study is to evaluate the local therapeutic efficacy, side effects of injection for treating symptomatic mass. Methods: Twenty lung cancer patients (13 males and 7 females) underwent sonography guided OK-432 injection. We analyzed relationships between response of OK-432 and response of skin test, histology and age. Pain that patients feel was evaluated by VAS (Visual Analog scale). Results: A significant decrease of tumor size was observed. The mean pre-injection diameter of the lesions was 54.7±11.3mm, PR rate were 15.0% (3/20) and minimal change (50%<tumor size decreased.) patients were 35.0% (7/20). The VAS score before injecting OK-432 into the lesion was 5±3, this was decreased to 2.5±1.5 (p=0.04). Object response was significantly correlated with skin response, adenocarcinoma, and age. Conclusion: A significant decrease of tumor size and pain was observed. So OK-432 is a valuable treatment option for patients with symptomatic lesion from advanced lung cancer who are not amenable to further therapy.

It is needed further investigation of the urinary hippuric acid level considering the effect of genetic polymorphism.

權近의 佛敎批判과 權道 重視의 出處觀

都賢喆 한국사상사학회 2002 韓國思想史學 Vol.19 No.-

Amid the political changes during the late Koryo and early Chos˘on dynasty, Kwon Kun contributed not only in establishing the thesis of Neo-Confucianism, but also in bringing practical politics into practice. He is known to have served both in the government offices of Koryo and Chosoˇn dynasty. Kwon Kun criticized Buddhism from Neo-Confucian point of view. It was natural for confucian scholars to be critical towards Buddhism during this period. But Kwon's view was particularly based on the Perception of reality. Kwon explained the difference between Confucianism and Buddhism concerning the matters of man and the origin of the world. According to Kwon, Buddhism perceived reality as a groundless fantasy and asserted that man should breakaway from his or her attachment or prejudices towards the secular world. In opposition to this Buddhist view, Kwon perceived reality from Neo-Confucian view as a union of the Yi(the fundamental principle of universe 理) and the Gi(phenomena coming from Yi 氣) suggesting practical knowledge that could be applied in reality. Kwon criticized the current studies that focused only on reading literature. Instead of the unpractical studies of verse and prose, he preferred practical science which taught the truth, which man should follow. and the ways to control one's body and soul. Kwon asserted that propriety should underlie as the foundation and principle that leads and regulates the real world and man should follow the universal rule(常道) and kwondo(權道), which suggests flexible adaption to the situations one should confront in the real world. Kwon Kun was particularly more interested in the ways to tackle certain difficulties and emergencies. This particular attachment to kwondo(權道) . can be also observed in Kwon's position towards the activity and official career of high government officials called sadaebu(士大夫). Concerning the matter. Kwon valued appropriate timing ability over always living in accordance to the universal principle(道). He was rather positive towards active participation in political affairs. Meanwhile, Kwon Kun disapproved of Ohjing(吳澄). which asserted a negative position towards moving on into the secular world. as a doctrine for confucian scholars to follow. He highly valued Heo Hyeong(許衡) for serving as a government official when Koryo was under the rule of the Mongol Yuan dynasty. According to Kwon. the Priority of life was participating in political affairs and achieving one's goals rather than gaining Political and social power or refining one's personality and nature. Kwon Kun's ideological stance reflects his passion for active participation in reality. With the emergence of the Chosoˇn dynasty. Kwon did not hesitate to change and serve for the new nation. Though Kwon is known to have opposed the establishment of Chosoˇn, he was taken to the capital to start his official career after King Taejo visited Mt. Kyeryong(鷄龍山) on his second year on throne.

This study is designed to serve the following two purposes. As its title indicates, the first objective is to analyze and review a particular analytical perspectives, what is called the theory of 'Culture of Poverty' which Oscar Lewis, its foremost advocator, developed in the study of lower class in urban community. The second is to describe the various methodologiclal perspectives on the study of lower class in urban community not from the microscopic, individualistic viewpoint but also the macroscopic, socialstructureal one. In this connection, this paper concentrated all efforts to classify the kinds of appraches and perspectives, and to clarify the main stream of each approaches, and then, analyzed the basic propositions of logical sturcturing and the essential epistemological framework of the theory of 'Culture of Poverty' based on subculture concept for the preparation of a new ground to refine Oscar Lewis' perspectives. The general outline of this study is as follows: After tracing briefly the gists of the genealogy of problem discussed, this paper descried the background of problem conciousness and the reason why the theory of'Culture of Poverty' is the most necessary part for recent developement in the study of lower class in urban community especially in connection with the situation of developing countries, as an introduction in chapter Ⅰ. In chapter Ⅱ, this paper extended a more detailed discussion on the concept and key characteristics of 'Culture of Poverty' In this thesis, what is conserved witness was the strong points of this concept in the study of lower class in urban community. In chapter Ⅲ and Ⅳ, this paper reviewed in depth the disputes surrounding the theory of 'Culture of Poverty', namely the problems of validity of cultural perspective and the problems in practical application of the concept of culture. The utility criteria of the theory of 'Culture of Poverty' was the subject matter of chapter Ⅳ. Finally, in chapter Ⅴ, we dealt with the conclusion of this study as follows: In spite of many criticisms are directed the theory of 'Culture of Poverty', in so far as this concept can be used the categorization of slum, the utility of the perspectives on 'Culture of Poverty' in the study of lower class in urban community is more increased at all points.

Paraquat (N,N'-dimethy 1-4,4'bipyrydinium : Gramoxone^(R), a widely used herbicide, is extremely toxic to all green plants and many eukaryotic organisms. In human, paraquat intoxication leads to multiple organ failure, it preferentially damages the lung, kidney and liver and may result in death. The participation of superoxide in initiating tissue damage by administration of paraquat is well known in which one electron reduction of paraquat leads to the formation of radical species which react with molecular oxygen to give superoxide. This process initiates immunological changes with the activation of neutrophilic leukocytes, which is related to further production of superoxide. In this experiment, therapeutic effects of cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone on blood cell count, malondialdehyde as a indicator of lipid peroxidation, and antioxidant enzymes levels in the lung, liver and kidney of paraquat intoxicated rats were inbestigated. The WBC count were significantly decreased by combined treatment of cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone in paraquat intoxicated rats at 3 and 5 days but RBC count were not changed. The contents of malondialdehyde were significantly decreased in the lung and Kidney by combined treatment at 10 days after paraquat intoxication. The catalase acitvities were markedly increased in the lung and liver of rats at 10 days after paraquat intoxication, and superoxide dismutase activities showed minimal changes in the lung, liver and kidney of rats by combined treatment. These results suggest that paraquat induced tissue damage in rats can be redeced by combined administration of cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone.
