Baek,Sun-Geun,Cho,Sijung,Yang,Hye-Won,Kim,Seojin 서울대학교 교육종합연구원 2021 The SNU Journal of Education Research Vol.30 No.4

The effects of ‘confidence in science’ and ‘instructional clarity in science lessons’ on ‘science achievement’ mediated by ‘interest in learning science’ were investigated comparatively across South Korea, Japan, the USA, and England. From the data of TIMSS 2019, 3,861 cases from South Korea, 4,446 cases from Japan, 8,698 cases from the USA, and 3,365 cases from England were used to test a hypothesized structural equation model. As a result, the model fitted the data of each country satisfactorily, and measurement was found to be equivalent across the four countries. Moreover, the effect of confidence on achievement was statistically significant in all countries whereas the effect of instructional clarity on achievement and the effect of interest on achievement were only significant in South Korea and the USA. Furthermore, the mediation effect of interest was only significant in South Korea and the USA. Such results provide new perspectives in the role of confidence, instructional clarity, and interest on students’ science achievement and implications for customized educational programs and policies for each country.

본 연구의 목적은 1)편측성 순구개열 신생아 환자에 대한 술전 비치조 정형장치(PNAM)치료를 소개하고 2) 이 장치의 치조골 정형 효과를 평가하는 것이다. 서울대학교 병원 교정과에 내원하여 PNAM장치를 사용하여 치료받은 4명의 편측성 순구개열 호나자(남자 3명, 여자 1명, 평균 초진연령: 23.2일)을 대상으로 하였으며, 치조골에서 대분절과 소분절 파열부간의 평균거리는 8.27mm였고 치조골 정형치료의 평균기간은 9.7주였다. 초진시(Ti)와 성공적인 치조골 정형술이 이루어진 시기(T2)에 이들 환자의 인상을 채득하여 모형을 제작한 후, 사진촬영과 digital caliper를 사용하여 7개의 길이 항목과 5개의 각도항목을 계측하였다. SPSS win. ver 7.5프로그램을 사용하여 통계처리 하였고, 평균치의 차이를 비교하기 위하여 paired t-test를 사용하였다. 1. 신생아 치조골 후방부는 치조골 정형술을 시행하는 동안 안정된 구조물이었다. 2. 치조골 정형술에 의하여 대분절의 전방 성장이 억제되었다. 3. 치조골 정형술에 의한 파열부의 패쇄는 주로 대분절 전방부의 내측과 후방 굴곡 및 소분절 전체의 외측 굴곡에 의한 것이었다. The goals of this study were to present presurgical naso-alveolar molding(PNAM) appliance in unilaterla cleft lip and palate treatment and to evaluate the effects of PNAM appliance on alveolar molding. Samples were consisted of 4 unilateral cleft lip and palate infants(3 males and 1 female, mean age=23.2 days after birth) who were treated with PNAM appliances in Department of Orthodontics, Seoul National University Dental Hospital. Average alveolar cleft gap between the greater and lesser segment was 8.27 mm and average duration of alveolar molding treatment was 9.7 weeks. These patients' models were obtained at initial visit(T1) and after successful alveolar molding(T2). Seven linear and five angular variables were measured by using photometry and digital caliper. All statistical analyses were performed by SPSS win ver. 7.5 program. Paired t-test was used to compare the mean values. 1. The posterior part of alveolar segments are the stable structures during alveolar molding treatment period in infants. 2. Forward growth of th greater segment may be hindered by the action of alveolar molding. 3. The closure of cleft gap during alveolar molding were usually due to inward and backward bending of the anterior part of the greater segment and outward bending of the whole lesser segment.

Recent Advances in Proteomic Studies of Adipose Tissues and Adipocytes

Kim, Eun Young,Kim, Won Kon,Oh, Kyoung-Jin,Han, Baek Soo,Lee, Sang Chul,Bae, Kwang-Hee MDPI 2015 INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR SCIENCES Vol.16 No.3

<P>Obesity is a chronic disease that is associated with significantly increased levels of risk of a number of metabolic disorders. Despite these enhanced health risks, the worldwide prevalence of obesity has increased dramatically over the past few decades. Obesity is caused by the accumulation of an abnormal amount of body fat in adipose tissue, which is composed mostly of adipocytes. Thus, a deeper understanding of the regulation mechanism of adipose tissue and/or adipocytes can provide a clue for overcoming obesity-related metabolic diseases. In this review, we describe recent advances in the study of adipose tissue and/or adipocytes, focusing on proteomic approaches. In addition, we suggest future research directions for proteomic studies which may lead to novel treatments of obesity and obesity-related diseases.</P>

Metal-free, polyether-mediated H₂-release from ammonia borane: roles of hydrogen bonding interactions in promoting dehydrogenation

Kim, Yongmin,Baek, Hyunjae,Lee, Jin Hee,Yeo, Shinyoung,Kim, Kibum,Hwang, Son-Jong,Eun, Bit,Nam, Suk Woo,Lim, Tae-Hoon,Yoon, Chang Won The Royal Society of Chemistry 2013 Physical chemistry chemical physics Vol.15 No.45

<P>Polyetheral additives were found to be efficient promoters to enhance the rate of H<SUB>2</SUB>-release from ammonia borane (AB) at various temperatures. In particular, tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether (T4EGDE, 29 wt% relative to AB + T4EGDE) exhibited significantly improved activities for AB dehydrogenation, with the material-based hydrogen storage capacity of 10.3 wt% at 125 °C within 40 min. <I>In situ</I> FT-IR spectroscopy indicated the formation of B-(cyclodiborazanyl)amino-borohydride (BCDB), borazine, and μ-aminodiborane as gaseous byproducts. In addition, <SUP>11</SUP>B nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy further revealed that diammoniate of diborane (DADB) was initially formed to give polyaminoborane as liquid and/or solid spent-fuel, consistent with previous reports. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations suggested that hydrogen bonding interactions between AB and a polyetheral promoter initially played an important role in increasing the reactivity of B–H bonds of AB by transferring electron density from oxygen atoms of the promoter into B–H bonds of AB. These partially activated, hydridic B–H bonds were proposed to help promote the formation of diammoniate of diborane (DADB), which is considered as a reactive intermediate, eventually enhancing the rate of H<SUB>2</SUB>-release from AB. In addition, our <I>in situ</I> solid state <SUP>11</SUP>B magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR measurements further confirmed that the rate of DADB formation from AB with a small quantity of T4EGDE was found to be much faster than that of pristine AB even at 50 °C. This metal-free method for H<SUB>2</SUB>-release from AB with an added, small quantity of polyethers would be helpful to develop feasible hydrogen storage systems for long-term fuel cell applications.</P> <P>Graphic Abstract</P><P>A metal-free method for H<SUB>2</SUB>-release from AB with addition of polyethers would be helpful to develop feasible hydrogen storage systems. <IMG SRC='http://pubs.rsc.org/services/images/RSCpubs.ePlatform.Service.FreeContent.ImageService.svc/ImageService/image/GA?id=c3cp52591k'> </P>

Kim, Jae-Han,Park, Chang Won,Um, Dalho,Baek, Ki Hwang,Jo, Yohahn,An, Hyunjoo,Kim, Yangsun,Kim, Tae Jin Hindawi Publishing Corporation 2014 Disease markers Vol.2014 No.-

<P>Changes of glycosylation pattern in serum proteins have been linked to various diseases including cancer, suggesting possible development of novel biomarkers based on the glycomic analysis. In this study, N-linked glycans from human serum were quantitatively profiled by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry (MS) and compared between healthy controls and ovarian cancer patients. A training set consisting of 40 healthy controls and 40 ovarian cancer cases demonstrated an inverse correlation between <I>P</I> value of ANOVA and area under the curve (AUC) of each candidate biomarker peak from MALDI-TOF MS, providing standards for the classification. A multibiomarker panel composed of 15 MALDI-TOF MS peaks resulted in AUC of 0.89, 80~90% sensitivity, and 70~83% specificity in the training set. The performance of the biomarker panel was validated in a separate blind test set composed of 23 healthy controls and 37 ovarian cancer patients, leading to 81~84% sensitivity and 83% specificity with cut-off values determined by the training set. Sensitivity of CA-125, the most widely used ovarian cancer marker, was 74% in the training set and 78% in the test set, respectively. These results indicate that MALDI-TOF MS-mediated serum N-glycan analysis could provide critical information for the screening of ovarian cancer.</P>

Fluorinated Benzoselenadiazole-Based Low-Band-Gap Polymers for High Efficiency Inverted Single and Tandem Organic Photovoltaic Cells

Kim, Ji-Hoon,Shin, Seung Ah,Park, Jong Baek,Song, Chang Eun,Shin, Won Suk,Yang, Hoichang,Li, Yongfang,Hwang, Do-Hoon American Chemical Society 2014 Macromolecules Vol.47 No.5

<P>We designed and synthesized two low-band-gap conjugated copolymers with alternating difluorinated benzoselenadiazole (DFDTBSe) and ethylhexyloxy (EH)- or octyldodecyloxy (OD)-substituted benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b′]dithiophene (BDT) building blocks. PEHBDT-DFDTBSe and PODBDT-DFDTBSe have optical band gap energies of 1.66 and 1.69 eV, respectively, and HOMO energy levels of −5.44 and −5.43 eV, respectively. The different alkyloxy side chains in the polymers affect the molecular packing and ordering in active-layer films blended with [6,6]-phenyl-C<SUB>71</SUB> butyric acid methyl ester (PC<SUB>71</SUB>BM). The PEHBDT-DFDTBSe:PC<SUB>71</SUB>BM film comprises predominantly “face-on” crystal structures with short π–π stacking distances (3.69 Å) while PODBDT-DFDTBSe:PC<SUB>71</SUB>BM has mostly “edge-on” structures according to two-dimensional grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction analysis. Bulk heterojunction solar cells were fabricated with an inverted structure of ITO/ethoxylated polyethylenimine/polymer:PC<SUB>71</SUB>BM/MoO<SUB>3</SUB>/Ag. The device fabricated using the PEHBDT-DFDTBSe:PC<SUB>71</SUB>BM active layer shows a maximum power conversion efficiency (PCE) of up to 5.74%, which is the highest value reported for OPVs containing benzoselenadiazole and BDT-derivative polymers. A tandem solar cell was also fabricated using PEHBDT-DFDTBSe:PC<SUB>71</SUB>BM and poly(3-hexylthiophene):indene-C<SUB>60</SUB>-bisadduct as the top and bottom cell components, respectively; its maximum PCE was 7.15%.</P><P><B>Graphic Abstract</B> <IMG SRC='http://pubs.acs.org/appl/literatum/publisher/achs/journals/content/mamobx/2014/mamobx.2014.47.issue-5/ma4026493/production/images/medium/ma-2013-026493_0011.gif'></P><P><A href='http://pubs.acs.org/doi/suppl/10.1021/ma4026493'>ACS Electronic Supporting Info</A></P>
