Seulgi Jang,Yujin Kim,Byung Joon Lee,Kyu S. Hahn 한국언론학회 2015 Asian Communication Research Vol.12 No.1

Twitter has significantly amplified celebrity presence on civic affairs. Although celebrities hold little expertise on policy affairs, they can be quite influential since their popularity allows them to reach large audiences. There is an ongoing debate concerning the democratic implications of increasing celebrity influence in policy affairs. In the current study, taking Oisoo Lee as a test case, we investigate the political implications of celebrity following on Twitter. We first compare Lee’s followers with those of ten news outlets, based on the co-following pattern among 1,442,317 Twitter users. We also had access to supplementary survey data on 11,725 members of an online survey panel who had provided their Twitter screen names. For these survey participants, we are able to match their following behavior with individual level attributes. Our results reveal that Lee’s followers are not ideologically skewed in either direction. Indeed, our survey findings confirmed that a vast majority of Lee’s followers identified themselves as independent. On the other hand, survey results show that Oisoo Lee is more likely to attract those lacking the ability to process one-sided information in a balanced manner. This raises a concern that they could be easily misinformed or misled.

Light-cured orthodotic composite resin has been widely advertised recently for use in bonding brackets.However,the curability of light-cured resin waves are diffused through metal brackets in questionable. The purposes of this study were to evaluate shear bond strenght and failure patterns of visible light-cured resin(Lightbond) and chemically cured-resin(Mono-Lok 2),and to determine the relative value of light-cured resin as an alternative to conventional chemically cured resin.Each of the two resins was tested on twently extracted human first premolars.Standard edgewise mental brackets were bonded to the teeth in accordance with the manufacturers' recommendation.After bonding,the teeth were stored for 24 hours at 37℃,100% huminity.The shear bond strenght was tested with a universal testing machine(Instron 4302),at 0.5mm/min crosshead speed.After debonding,brackets and enamel surfaces were examines with a scanning electron microscope and a stereoscopic microscope. The results were as follows: 1.Mental brackets bonded with Lightbond showed statistically highershear bond strenght than mental brackets bonded with Mono-Lok 2. 2.The predominant failure site in Lightbond was the enamel-resin interface,and in Mono-Lok 2 it was the resin itself. 3.Enamel cracks were not found in any specimen. The above results suggest that direct bonding of metal brackets enamel with light-cured resin bonding agent can be used effectively in clinics.

Since water borne infection causes acute diseases and results in spread of diseases by secondary infection, the prevention is very important. Therefore, it is necessary to have a method that is rapid and effective to monitor pathogenic bacteria in drinking water. In this study, we employed a systematic method, Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis, to develop an effective monitoring system for possible bacterial contaminants in drinking water. For this purpose, PCR primers were derived from 992 bp region of the 16s rRNA gene that is highly conserved through the different species of prokaryotes. To test whether the PCR primers designed are indeed useful for detecting all the possible microbial contaminants in the water, the primers were used to amplify 16s rRNA regions of different microbial water-borne pathogens such as E. coli, Salmonella, Yersinia, Listeria, and Staphylococcus. As expected, all of tested microorganisms amplified expected size of PCR products indicating designed PCR primers for 16s rRNA indeed can be useful to amplify all different microbial water-borne pathogens in the water. Furthermore, to test whether these 16s rRNA based PCR primers can detect bacterial populations present in the water, water samples taken from diverse sources, such as river, tap, and sewage, were used for amplification. PCR products were for then subjected for cloning into a T-vector to generate a library containing 16s rRNA sequences from various bacteria. With cloned PCR products, RFLP analysis was done using PCR products digested with restriction enzyme such as Hae Ⅲ to obtain species-specific RFLP profiles. After PCR-RFLP, the bacterial clones which showed the same RFLP profiles were regarded as the same ones, and the clones which showed distinctive RFLP profiles were subsequently subjected for sequence analysis for species identification. By this PCR-RFLP analysis, we were able to reveal diverse populations of bacteria living in water. In brief, in unsterilized natural river water, over 60 different species of bacteria were found. On the other hand, no PCR products were detected in drinking tap-water. The results from this study clearly indicate that the PCR-RFLP-sequence analysis can be a useful method for monitoring diverse, perhaps pathogenic bacteria contaminated in water in a rapid fashion.

Locoregional recurrence is the most common type of recurrence in surgical operation of gastric adenocarcinoma, and peritoneal dissemination is one of the most difficult problems in advanced gastric adenocarcinoma treatment. Because the peritoneal cavity is the most common site of the first recurrence after gastric cancer resection, intraperitoneal chemotherapy seems a logical choice for cancer chemotherapy. In this study, Mitomycin C (MMC)-activated charcoal (CH)-alginate (ALG) beads were prepared by the mixtures of CH particles adsorbed with MMC as an anti-cancer drug and aqueous alginate solution. The alginate is recognized as biodegradable, nontoxic, and biocompatible. The release of MMC from the beads in 0.1 M Tris buffer was stable and continuous until about 1 week. The MMC-CH-ALG beads can be applied in the peritoneal cavity for intraperitoneal chemotherapy since they provide a good adhesiveness on the tissue and controlled release pattern of the drugs.

Recently, allergic diseases are very prevalent in Korea, resulting in physical and economic losses during the life. It is well-known that the principle therapy is identification, eradication, and desensitization of allergens. There are many allergic diagnostic tools for identification of specific-allergens. However, none of them is satisfied with its efficiency due to lack of validity. Recently MAST-CLA has been widely used in the allergic clinical fields because of its simplicity and simultaneous identification of allergens. This study was designed to determine the positivity of allergen-specific antibodies using MAST-CLA in patients with allergic diseases, and evaluate the efficacy for allergen detection, compared to results of skin prick test. During June 2000 - September 2001, 325 study subjects visited Soonchunhyang University Chunan Hospital for the evaluation of allergic problems. Among them, 289 subjects were diagnosed with allergic disease and included for the study. Thirty four subjects visited children's allergic unit were evaluated specific allergens using a skin prick test at the same time. Our result as follows; 1. The positive rates of allergen-specific antibodies and total IgE were 51.2% and 73.4%, retrospectively. 2. There was significant difference in positive rate in age group, showing highest in teen ages(73.6%), but insignificant difference in sex in allergen-specific antibodies. 3. The positive rate was 60.4% in allergic rhinitis, 51.3% in allergic dermatitis, 46.9% in bronchial asthma, and 39.1% in urticaria in order(P=0.073). 4. Significant difference in month or season was observed, with highest rate in April(78.1%) and May(72.1%). The highest season was in spring(62.7%), and then summer(52.8%), fall(50.3%), and winter(41.4%) in order (P=0.04). 5. The three highest allergen-specific antibodies were D. pteronyssinus(39.3%), D. farinae(38.3%), and house dust(24.3%) in Korean inhalant pannel, However, in food pannel types of allergen-specific antibody were different as D. farinae(18.5%), Alternaria(18.5%), house dust(17.3%). 6. There were significant agreements between MAST-CLA and Skin prick test (D. farianae Kappa=0.636;D. pteronyssinus Kappa=0.78, both P<0.001) In conclusion, MAST-CLA could detect allergen-specific antibodies in patients with allergic diseases as a simple and valid tool of screening of allergy. Especially, it could be a useful measure of multiple allergens simultaneously in children However, more detailed allergens and valid assay for unmeasured allergens should be identified for Korean-specific allergens.

It is well known that interstitial cell of Leydig is developed from the mesenchymal cell in the intestitial tissue of the testis during fetal period, but it gradually regressed until puberty when mature Leydig cell is derived from the mesenchyme of interstitial tissue of fetal Leydig cell. The function of the Leydig cell is synthesis and secretion of testosterone which influences on differentiation of male geritalia at fetal period, and revealation of male secondary sexual characteristies and differentiation of sperm at puberty. To investigate the differentiation of interstitial cell in interstitium and ultrastructural changes of interstitial cell in rat testis and ultrastructural changes of interstitial cell in rat testis and relation to testosterone secretion, the author has studied this experiment. Fetal rats on the 16th, 18th and 20th gestational days and rats on the 1st, 3rd, 7th day, 2nd, 3rd and 8th week after birth were used as experimental animals. Some of obtained testis were stained with hematoxylin and eosin for light microscopic study, and other specimens were double stained with uranyl acetate and lead citrate for electron microscopic study. The results were as follows: 1. On the 16th day of pregnancy, a few of round eosinophilic Leydig cells are firstly observed in the interstitium of testis in fetal rat. On the 18th and 20th day of pregnance, 1st and 3rd day of neonatal life, a number of Leydig cells forming cellular cord were observed. On the 1st and 2nd week after birth, number and size of Leydig cell are markedly reduced but on teh 3rd week after birth Leydig cells are reappeared. On the 8th week after birth distribution of Leydig cells is similar to that in adult rat testis. 2. On the 18th and 20th day pregnancy, and 1st and 3rd day of neonatal life, circular or oval shaped mitochondria matrix were observed in the Leydig cell. On the 1st and 2nd week after birth, giant mitochondria and mitochondria with disorganized mitochondrial crista were revealed. On the 3rd and 8th week after birth, appearances of mitochondria were similar to that in Leydig cell of the rat testis on the 20th day of pregnancy. 3. Numerous and round cisternae of smooth endoplasmic reticulum were observed in Leydig cell of rat testis on the 18th and 20th day of pregnancy. 1st and 3rd day of neonatal life, and 1st week after birth . Horseshoe-shaped deformity and reduction in number of cisternae of smooth endopalmic reticulum were revealed in Leydig cells on the 2nd week after birth. Numerous and round cisternae of smooth endoplasmic reticulum were seen on the 3rd and 8th week after birth. 4. A few lipid droplets were revealed in Leydig cell of rat testis on the 18th day of pregnancy, but many lipid droplets were observed in Leydig cells of rat testis on the 20th day of gestation, 1st and 3rd day of neonatal life, and 1st week after birth. Numbers of lipid droplets were gradually decreased after 2nd week of postnatal life. 5. Many autophagic vacuoles were observed in Leydig cells would be firstly differentiated from the mesenchymeal cells in interstitium of fetal rat testis on the 16th day of pregnancy, and proliferated from the 18th day of pregnancy to the 1st day of neonatal life, and then gradually regressed before the puberty, but at the begining of puberty adult type of Leydig cell be proliferated.

형상기억복합재료는 복합재료내에 압축잔류응력을 발생시킴으로써 재료의 인장강도를 증가시키는데 사용되어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 형상기억복합재료를 제조하기 위하여 TiNi 강화재와 A16061 기지재를 사요하였으며 핫프레스 방법에 의해 TiNi/A16061 형상기억복합재료를 제조하였다. 그러나 핫 프레스 방법에 의해 제조된 형상기억복합재료는 하중을 받을시 강화재와 기지재 사이에 계면손상현상이 발생하였으며 이를 위하여 냉간압연을 실시하였다. 냉간압연을 받은 시험편은 냉간압연을 받지 않은 시험편에 비하여 인장강도가 현저히 증가하였다. 또한 본 연구에서는 고온에서 형상기억복합재료의 미시적 손상을 평가하기 위하여 음향방출기법을 이용하였다. Shape memory alloy has been used to improve the tensile strength of composite by the occurrence of compressive residual stress in matrix using its shape memory effect. In order to fabricate shape memory alloy composite, TiNi alloy and Al6061 were used as reinforcing material and matrix, respectively. In this study, TiNi/Al6061 shape memory alloy composite was made by using hot press method. However, the specimen fabricated by this method had the bonding problem at the boundary between TiNi fiber and Al matrix when the load was applied to it. A cold rolling was imposed to the specimen to improve the bonding effect. It was found that tensile strength of specimen subjected to cold rolling was more increased than that of specimen which did not underwent cold rolling. In addition, acoustic emission technique was used to quantify the microscopic damage behavior of cold rolled TiNi/Al6061 shape memory alloy composite at high temperature.

연구목적 : 정신분열별 환자들을 대상으로 통합심리치료의 소프로그램인 인지분화훈련을 실시하여 실행기능, 개념형성능력, 언어능력 및 추론력에 대한 훈련이 보다 더 하위단계의 인지기능인 주의력, 기억력, 반응시간 등을 호전시킬 수 있는 지를 알아보고자 하였다. 연구방법 : DSM-IV상 정신분열병으로 진단된 24명의 입원환자를 무작위로 양분하여 한 군은 인지분화훈련군으로 다른 한 군은 대조군으로 나누었다. 훈련군은 4주동안 1주일에 3회(매회 60분간)로 총 12회의 통합심리치료의 인지분화훈련을 받았으며 대조군은 동일한 시간동안 정신건강교육을 받았다. 훈련전후에 훈련군과 대조군을 대상으로 개정판 Wechsler 기억검사로 주의집중력, 장·단기 기억력을 측정하였고 Vienna test system중 결정반응시간검사로 반응시간, 반응결정시간, 반응운동시간을 평가하였다. 연구결과 : 1) 주의집중력에서는 훈련군과 대조군사이에 집단간 효과, 집단내 효과 및 상호작용 효과가 없었다. 2) 단기기억력에서는 훈련군과 대조군사이에 집단내 효과는 있었으나(F(1,24)=10.46. p〈.05). 집단간 효과, 상호작용 효과는 없었다. 3) 장기기억력에서는 훈련군과 대조군사이에 집단내 효과는 있었으나(F(1,24)=15.09. p〈.05). 집단간 효과, 상호작용 효과는 없었다. 4) 반응시간에서는 상호작용 효과(F(1,24)=5.18, p〈.05)가 있었다. 5) 반응운동시간에서는 집단간 효과, 집단내 효과 및 상호작용 효과가 없었다. 6) 반응결정시간에서는 상호작용 효과(F(1.24)=6.00, p〈.05)가 있었다. 결 론 : 통합심리치료의 인지분화훈련은 정신분열병 환자에서 하위단계의 인지기능 중 반응시간(특히 반응결정시간)을 단축시키는 효과가 있었다. Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of cognitive differentiation training of Integrated Psychological Therapy(a training program of executive function, concept formation, language, and abstraction) on micro-level cognitive function such as attention, memory and reaction time in patients time in patients with schizophrenia. Methods : Twenty-four inpatients diagnosed as schizophrenia using DSM-IV were randomly assigned to 2 groups. The training group went through a total of 12 sessions of cognitive differentiation training for 4 weeks. The control group received psychoeducation program during the same period. Wechsler Memory Scale-Revised and Decision-Reaction Timer of Vienna Test System were administered to all patients, both before and after the training program. Results : 1) In the attention and concentration scores of Wechsler Memory Scale-Revised, between group, within group and interaction effects of training were not significant. 2) In the short-term memory scores of Wechsler Memory Scale-Revised, within group effect of training was significant(F(1,24)=10.46, p〈0.05), but the between group and interaction effects did not reach significance. 3) In the long-term memory scores of Wechsler Memory Scale-Revised, within group effect of training was significant(F(1,24)=15.09, p〈0.05), but the between group and interaction effects did not reach significance. 4) In the reaction time scores of Decision-Reaction Timer, interaction effect of training was significant(F(1,24)=5.18, p〈0.05). 5) In the motor time scores of Decision-Reaction Timer, between group, within group and interaction effects of training were not significant. 6) In the decision time scores of Decision-Reaction Timer, interaction effect of training was significant(F(1,24)=6.00, p〈0.05). Conclusion : Our findings suggest that cognitive differentiation training of Integrated Psycho-logical Therapy is partly effective on improving micro-level cognitive functions such as reaction time(especially, decision time) in patents with schizophrenia.
