No effective antiviral therapy is proven yet, but clinical use of ribavirin (RBV) has been tried. We investigated the antiviral effect of RBV against SFTSV in vitro. Methods: To test for cytotoxicity of RBV, Vero cells were treated with different concentrations of RBV (3.90 to 500 μg/mL, two-fold dilution) and analyzed by cell viability MTS assay 48h post-infection. To determine antiviral activity of RBV against SFTSV, Vero cells were infected with SFTSV strain Gangwon/Korea/2012 at 100 TCID50 (50% tissue culture infective dose) per well in a 96-well plate, and RBV was added at the concentrations showing no or minimal cytotoxicity. Viral RNAs were extracted from the culture supernatants and quantifi ed using one-step real-time reverse transcription- PCR to amplify the partial large segment of SFTSV. Statistical analysis was done by one-way ANOVA with Tukey`s post hoc test. Results: Cytotoxicity due to RBV was not observed at RBV concentration =31.3 μg/ mL. Viral RNAs at 24h post-RBV treatment were reduced with increasing RBV concentrations (1-32 μg/mL), compared with those of mock-treated cells (P <0.01, Figure). Half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of RBV was 3.69 μg/mL at 24h post-RBV treatment. Conclusions: Our study shows that RBV has antiviral effect against SFTSV in a dose-dependent manner. Further studies are required to evaluate the effi cacy of RBV in SFTS.

[Purpose] Conservatism in accounting information means recognizing negative information early, and recognizing positive information slowly after satisfying the vesting condition. On the other hand, neutral accounting information means that there is no discrimination between negative and positive information. The aim of this study is to analyze the effects of such conservative and neutral accounting information on valuation errors. [Methodology] This study analyzed companies listed on the KOSPI from 2001 to 2015. The measure of conservatism followed Khan and Watts(2009), and the measure of neutralism was used by taking the absolute value of the measure of conservatism and multiplying it by a negative number. To measure the valuation error, the model suggested in the study of Rhodes-Kropf et al.(2005) was used. [Findings] As a test result, as the tendency of conservatism increases, valuation errors increase, which means that accounting informaiton biased toward negative information is negative in terms of valuation accuracy. On the other hand, the more neutral accounting information is, the less valuation errors are, and it can be interpreted that reporting positive and negative information in a balanced way has a positive effect on the accuracy of valuation. [Implications] In general, conservatism in accounting is considered to reduce investment risk by providing negative information to investors early, but the results of this study show that a report focused on negative information may rather distort the economic situation of a company. [연구목적] 회계정보의 보수주의란 부정적 정보는 조기에 인식하고, 긍정적인 정보는 가득 조건을 만족한 후에 천천히 인식하는 것을 의미한다. 한편 중립적 회계정보는 부정적인 정보와 긍정적인 정보의 인식 시기에 차별을 두지 않는 것을 말하며, 이와 같은 보수적 회계처리와 중립적 회계처리가 가치평가오류에 미치는 영향을 분석한 것이 본 연구의 목표이다. [연구방법] 본 연구는 2001년~2015년 기간에 유가증권시장에 상장된 기업을 대상으로 분석하였다. 보수주의 측정치는 Khan and Watts(2009)를 따랐으며, 중립주의 측정치는 보수주의 측정치에 절대값을 취한 후 음수를 곱하여 활용하였다. 가치평가 오류 측정치는 Rhodes-Kropf et al.(2005) 연구에서 제시된 모델을 사용하였다. [연구결과] 검증결과 보수주의 성향이 증가할수록 가치평가오류가 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며 이는 부정적 정보에 편향된 회계처리가 가치평가 정확도 측면에서 는 부정적임을 의미한다. 반면 중립적인 회계처리를 할수록 가치평가오류는 감소는 하는 것으로 나타났으며 긍정적 정보와 부정적 정보를 균형 있게 보고하는 것이 가치평가의 정확도에 긍정적으로 영향을 미치는 것으로 해석할 수 있다. [연구의 시사점] 일반적으로 보수주의 회계처리가 부정적 정보를 조기에 투자자들에게 제공함으로써 투자위험을 줄이는 것으로 간주되나, 본 연구의 결과는 부정적 정보에 치중한 보고가 오히려 기업의 경제적 실상을 왜곡하여 보고할 가능성이 있음을 시사하였다.

Park, Jongsung,Kim, Ji-Kwan,Kim, Dong-Su,Shanmugasundaram, Arunkumar,Park, Su A,Kang, Sohi,Kim, Sung-Ho,Jeong, Myung Ho,Lee, Dong-Weon Elsevier 2019 Sensors and actuators. B Chemical Vol.280 No.-

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>The primary objective of this study was to deploy a promising wireless pressure sensor system capable of monitoring real-time biological signals in an experimental object. MEMS-based micromachining technology was used to fabricate the proposed SU-8 wireless pressure sensor. The sensor utilizes a capacitor-inductor resonant circuit that can operate the sensor without any external power supply. The variable capacitor in the pressure sensor is designed to change the resonance frequency (130, 183 MHz) in response to applied pressure. The fabricated wireless pressure sensor was integrated into a polymer-based smart stent to minimize the discomfort of medication administration and hospital visits. A 3D bio-printing-based manufacturing technique was employed for the production of a smart polymer stent with complicated shapes. The proposed method is considerably more comfortable than the conventional metal stents fabrication process. The polymer smart stent made of the biocompatible polycaprolactone (PCL) material which can be fully absorbed by the body after a medication period. After integrating the fabricated wireless pressure sensor with the polymer smart stent, various basic experiments such as the working distance of the sensor were performed using a simple experimental setup. The biocompatibility of the proposed polymer stent and the wireless pressure sensor was also successfully confirmed using an experimental animal. The preliminary investigation results indicate that the proposed wireless sensor can be used to obtain necessary information in various parts of the human body as well as the stent.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> Fabrication of SU-8 based wireless pressure sensor for battery-less operation. </LI> <LI> Manufacturing of biodegradable polymer stent using 3D printing technique. </LI> <LI> Integration of wireless pressure sensor into polymer stent for real-time blood pressure monitoring. </LI> <LI> Verification of the biocompatibility of smart stent and its operation with experimental animals. </LI> <LI> Continuous measurement of blood pressure change in animals for more than 3 months. </LI> </UL> </P>

Background : This investigation was to perform the epidemiological surveillance and genetic analysis on respiratory viral agents from children with acute respiratory infections in Gwangju. Materials and Methods : For this study, 3,695 specimens obtained from patients with acute respiratory infections were collected by collaboration with pediatric hospitals in Gwangju between 2005 and 2007. Specimens were screened for 8 respiratory viruses including influenza viruses (IFV), human rhinoviruses (HRV), human coronaviruses (HCoV), adenoviruses (ADV), parainfluenza viruses (PIV), human enteroviruses (HEV), respiratory synthitial viruses (RSV) and human bocaviruses (HBoV). Respiratory viruses were detected using multiplex (RT) PCR with viral specific primers. Results : Out of 3,695 specimens, the ratio of virus detection was 24.9% (919). Overall, HRV (35.5%) and IFV (34.9%) were the most common viruses found, followed by HBoV (14.8%), HCoV (10.6%), RSV (3.7%), ADV (3.4%), PIV (3.2%) and HEV (3.0%). In addition, multiple infections were detected in 80 patients (8.7%). When the prevalence was analyzed according to season, HBoV, IFV and HCoV showed two epidemic points in late spring and early winter. ADV, HRV, RSV PIV and HEV, however, were all found to have only one epidemic point, with RSV being most common during winter and the others being most prominent during spring. Conclusions : Through this epidemiological surveillance, the respiratory viruses prevalent in children in Gwanaju area were investigated. We strongly recommend the development of nationwide policy for the management of prevalent respiratory virus that includes long term collection of data and samples, vaccine development and prevention education of the misuse of antibiotics.

Background and Purposes: Over the past three decades, numerous studies performed in Korea have reported that job stress is a determinant risk factor for chronic diseases and work disability. Every society has its own culture and occupational climate particular to their organizations, and hence experiences different occupational stress. An occupational stress measurement tool therefore needs to be developed to estimate it objectively. The purpose of this study is to develop and standardize the Korean Occupational Stress Scale (KOSS) which is considered to be unique and specific occupational stressors in Korean employees. Subjects and Methods: Data were obtained from the National Study for Development and Standardization of Occupational Stress (NSDSOS Project: 2002-2004). A total of 12,631 employees from a nationwide sample proportional to the Korean Standard Industrial Classification and the Korean Standard Occupational Classification were administered. The KOSS was developed for 2 years (2002-2004). In the first year, we collected 255 items from the most popular job stress measurement tools such as JCQ, ERI, NIOSH and OSI, and 44 items derived from the a qualitative study (depth interview). Forty-three items of KOSS, in the second year, were retained for use in the final version of the KOSS by using Delphi and factor analysis. Items were scored using conventional 1-2-3-4 Likert scores for the response categories. Results: We developed eight subscales by using factor analysis and validation process: physical environment (3 items), job demand (8 items), insufficient job control (5 items), interpersonal conflict (4 items), job insecurity (6 items), organizational system (7 items), lack of reward (6 items), and occupational climate (4 items). Together they explained 50.0% of total variance. Internal consistency alpha scores were ranged from 0.51 to 0.82. Twenty-four items of the short form of the KOSS (KOSS-SF) were also developed to estimate job stress in the work setting. Because the levels of the subscales of occupational stress were gender dependent, gender-specific standard norms for both the 43-item full version and the 24-item short form using a quartile for the subscales of KOSS were presented. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that KOSS might be an appropriate measurement scale to estimate occupational stress of Korean employees. Further and more detailed study needs to be conducted to improve the validity of this scale.

Variation in clinical usefulness of biomarkers of acute kidney injury in young children undergoing cardiac surgery

Baek, Hee Sun,Lee, Youngok,Jang, Hea Min,Cho, Joonyong,Hyun, Myung Chul,Kim, Yeo Hyang,Hwang, Su-Kyeong,Cho, Min Hyun The Korean Pediatric Society 2020 Clinical and Experimental Pediatrics (CEP) Vol.63 No.4

Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most significant postoperative complications of pediatric cardiac surgery. Because serum creatinine has limitations as a diagnostic marker of AKI, new biomarkers including neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), and interleukin-18 (IL-18) are being evaluated to overcome these limitations and detect AKI at an early stage after cardiac surgery. Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the clinical usefulness of these biomarkers in young children. Methods: Thirty patients with congenital heart diseases who underwent cardiac surgery using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) were selected, and their urine and blood samples were collected at baseline and 6, 24, and 48 hours after surgery. Serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen levels as well as NGAL, KIM-1, and IL-18 levels in urine samples were measured, and clinical parameters were evaluated. Results: Of the 30 patients, 12 developed AKI within 48 hours after cardiac surgery. In the AKI group, 8 of 12 (66.6%) met AKI criteria after 24 hours, and urine KIM-1/creatinine (Cr) level (with adjustment of urine creatinine) peaked at 24 hours with significant difference from baseline level. Additionally, urine KIM-1/Cr level in the AKI group was significantly higher than in the non-AKI group at 6 hours. However, urine NGAL/Cr and IL-18/Cr levels showed no specific trend with time for 48 hours after cardiac surgery. Conclusion: It is suggested that urine KIM-1/Cr concentration could be considered a good biomarker for early AKI prediction after open cardiac surgery using CPB in young children with congenital heart diseases.
