반복이 있는 랜덤화 블록 계획법에서 우산형 대립가설을 검정하기 위한 비모수 방법에는 Kim과 Kim (1992)이 제안한 방법이 있다. 본 논문에서는 Orban과 Wolfe (1982)가 제안한 위치와 Kim (1999)이 제안한 대조군과 처리군의 방법을 확장하여 랜덤화 블록 계획법에서 우산형 대립가설에서의 검정법을 제안하였다. 또한 여러 분포에 대한 모의실험 통하여 기존의 방법과의 검정력을 비교하였다. Kim and Kim (1992) proposed typical nonparametric method for umbrella alternative in randomized block design with replications. In this paper, We consider a test procedure for umbrella alternatives in a randomized block design using extension of the two sample placement tests described in Orban and Wolfe (1982) and treatment tests described in Kim (1999). We perform a Monte Carlo study to compare the empirical powers of the test statistics for underlying distributions.

This study examines the concept of plurilingual and pluricultural competence presented by the CEFR(2018) and proposes application methods in Korean language education. In Korean language education, learners can improve their competence to target language and culture by understanding that learners have various languages and cultural backgrounds and utilizing such resources and experiences. To this end, the understanding and acceptance of culture can be facilitated by establishing a pluricultural repertoire. The target language can be learned by utilizing various language resources through plurilingual understanding of plurilingualism. Furthermore, by building a plurilingual repertoire, it is possible to take advantage of the language resources that learners have to take the initiative in language learning. By applying this concept, a teaching-learning method can be proposed so that learners can utilize each other's language and cultural resources in professor learning, which used only Korean, the target language in Korean education.

Age-dependent gait abnormalities in mice lacking the <i>Rnf170</i> gene linked to human autosomal-dominant sensory ataxia

Kim, Youngsoo,Kim, Seong Hun,Kim, Kook Hwan,Chae, Sujin,Kim, Chanki,Kim, Jeongjin,Shin, Hee-Sup,Lee, Myung-Shik,Kim, Daesoo IRL Press 2015 Human molecular genetics Vol.24 No.25

<P>Really interesting new gene (RING) finger protein 170 (RNF170) is an E3 ubiquitin ligase known to mediate ubiquitination-dependent degradation of type-I inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (ITPR1). It has recently been demonstrated that a point mutation of <I>RNF170</I> gene is linked with autosomal-dominant sensory ataxia (ADSA), which is characterized by an age-dependent increase of walking abnormalities, a rare genetic disorder reported in only two families. Although this mutant allele is known to be dominant, the functional identity thereof has not been clearly established. Here, we generated mice lacking <I>Rnf170</I> (<I>Rnf170<SUP>−/−</SUP></I>) to evaluate the effect of its loss of function <I>in vivo</I>. Remarkably, <I>Rnf170<SUP>−/−</SUP></I> mice began to develop gait abnormalities in old age (12 months) in the form of asynchronous stepping between diagonal limb pairs with a fixed step sequence during locomotion, while age-matched wild-type mice showed stable gait patterns using several step sequence repertoires. As reported in ADSA patients, they also showed a reduced sensitivity for proprioception and thermal nociception. Protein blot analysis revealed that the amount of Itpr1 protein was significantly elevated in the cerebellum and spinal cord but intact in the cerebral cortex in <I>Rnf170<SUP>−/−</SUP></I> mice. These results suggest that the loss of <I>Rnf170</I> gene function mediates ADSA-associated phenotypes and this gives insights on the cure of patients with ADSA and other age-dependent walking abnormalities.</P>

Vaccination against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been acknowledged as an effective mean of preventing infection and hospitalization. However, the emergence of highly transmissible SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOCs) has led to substantial increase in infections among children and adolescents. Vaccineinduced immunity and longevity have not been well defined in this population. Therefore, we aimed to analyze humoral and cellular immune responses against ancestral and SARSCoV- 2 variants after two shots of the BNT162b2 vaccine in healthy adolescents. Although vaccination induced a robust increase of spike-specific binding Abs and neutralizing Abs against the ancestral and SARS-CoV-2 variants, the neutralizing activity against the Omicron variant was significantly low. On the contrary, vaccine-induced memory CD4+ T cells exhibited substantial responses against both ancestral and Omicron spike proteins. Notably, CD4+ T cell responses against both ancestral and Omicron strains were preserved at 3 months after two shots of the BNT162b2 vaccine without waning. Polyfunctionality of vaccine-induced memory T cells was also preserved in response to Omicron spike protein. The present findings characterize the protective immunity of vaccination for adolescents in the era of continuous emergence of variants/subvariants.

Living cells are exposed to complex and functional microenvironment including soluble macromolecules, biophysical cues, and interactions between cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix (ECM). This suggests that the design and manipulation of engineered cellular microenvironments is of great important in a wide variety of biological applications such as fundamental biology, therapeutic and diagnostic research, stem cells and regenerative medicine, and developing in vitro disease models. In this work, we described the development of nanoscale engineered biomimetic systems for animal tissue engineering. Specifically, we showed the nanoscale patterned scaffolds inspired by the unique architectures of native animal tissues and ECMs that can provide cells the in vivo-like topographical cell environment, and their applications for better understanding of the function of living animal cells and tissue regeneration without complex surgical treatments.

( Sujin Kim ),( Sunho Park ),( Daun Kim ),( Woochan Kim ),( Sungmin Park ),( Jangho Kim ) 한국농업기계학회 2018 한국농업기계학회 학술발표논문집 Vol.23 No.2

Eggshell membrane (ESM), one of the agricultural bioresources, is being recognized as emerging engineering platforms in various fields including healthcare applications. ESM is the protein-rich membrane between the eggshell and egg white, having interesting characteristics such as microfibrous structures and many functional chemical groups. However, the raw ESM has many limitations (e.g., limited scale-up platforms, low mechanical and bioactivity property), which raised some problems for its wide use as healthcare platforms. Here, we present new ESM-based engineering platforms based on nanotechnology for various healthcare applications, especially for bone tissue engineering (i.e., bone tissue repair and regeneration in animal and human systems). To enhance the mechanical and bioactivity property of law ESM, we used nanoscale hydroxyapatite powders (HAp) that can be incorporated into the ESM-based thin films. We demonstrated that the HAp/ESM composites provided unique properties of both HAp and ESM such as structural, chemical, and physical properties. Using the HAp/ESM composites, we showed that cell proliferation and differentiation of osteoblastic cells (MG-63) were enhanced on the HAp/ESM composites compared to those on the only ESM films. Our approach can enable the design and manipulation of ESM-based functional engineering platforms for healthcare applications including bone tissue engineering.

Prenatal exposure to persistent organic pollutants and methylation of LINE-1 and imprinted genes in placenta: A CHECK cohort study

Kim, Sujin,Cho, Yoon Hee,Lee, Inae,Kim, Wonji,Won, Sungho,Ku, Ja-Lok,Moon, Hyo-Bang,Park, Jeongim,Kim, Sungkyoon,Choi, Gyuyeon,Choi, Kyungho Elsevier 2018 Environment international Vol.119 No.-

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Prenatal exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs) has been linked to numerous adverse birth outcomes among newborn infants in many epidemiological studies. Although epigenetic modifications have been suggested as possible explanations for those associations, studies have rarely reported a relationship between POP exposure during pregnancy and DNA methylation in the placenta.</P> <P>In the present study, we investigated the association between prenatal exposure to several POPs, including organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and methylation levels of long interspersed element 1 (LINE-1), as well as imprinted genes in placental DNAs among Korean mother-child pairs (N = 109). We assessed the association of DNA methylation not only with each target POP (single-POP models) but also with multiple POPs applying principal component analysis (multiple-POP models). Potential associations between placental DNA methylation and birth outcomes of newborn infants were also estimated.</P> <P>In single-POP models, significant associations were detected between OCP measurements and placental DNA methylation. Elevated concentrations of β-hexachlorhexane (β-HCH) in maternal serum collected during delivery were significantly associated with a decrease in methylation of LINE-1 in the placenta. Higher levels of <I>p</I>,<I>p</I>′-dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (<I>p</I>,<I>p</I>′-DDT) in maternal serum were associated with hypermethylation of <I>insulin-like growth factor 2</I> (<I>IGF2</I>). In multiple-POP models, a significant and positive association between DDTs and <I>IGF2</I> methylation was also observed. Placental LINE-1 methylation was inversely associated with birth length. Our observations indicate that prenatal exposure to several POPs including DDTs is associated with the changes in methylation of genes, including major imprinted genes in the placenta. The consequences of these epigenetic alterations in placenta during development deserve further investigation.</P> <P><B>Highlights</B></P> <P> <UL> <LI> Associations between POP exposure and placental DNA methylation were evaluated. </LI> <LI> A multi-pollutant exposure was added in the models with principal component analysis. </LI> <LI> Exposure to DDTs, including <I>p</I>,<I>p</I>′-DDT, was related to methylation of <I>IGF2</I> in the placenta. </LI> <LI> Several POPs might affect epigenetic regulation of key placental DNAs. </LI> </UL> </P>

Development of Eggshell Membrane/Hydroxyapatite-Based Functional Engineering Platforms for Healthcare Applications

( Sujin Kim ),( Sunho Park ),( Daun Kim ),( Yonghyun Gwon ),( Jangho Kim ) 한국농업기계학회 2019 한국농업기계학회 학술발표논문집 Vol.24 No.2

Eggshell membrane (ESM) is an agricultural by-product and bioresource, and it exists between egg white and eggshell. Recently, ESM is being recognized as a new biomaterial in biomedical fields (e.g., therapeutic agents for skin wound healing). ESM has entangled micro-fibrous structure with micro-pores, and it is mainly composed of abundant proteins, such as collagen I, V, X, and osteopontin. Also, the surfaces of ESM have many functional chemical groups including amine, carboxyl, and amide groups. However, the raw ESM has many limitations of the restricted scale-up platforms, low mechanical property and poor bioactivity. To overcome the limitations of the raw ESM, we proposed new ESM-based functional platforms using nanomaterial for the various applications in the fields of healthcare (e.g., bone tissue engineering). Firstly, we fabricated the ESM solution by dissolving the disulfide bond of the raw ESM for the fabrication of ESM-based platforms with various size. Secondly, we used hydroxyapatite powders (HAp) with nanoscale that can be incorporated into the ESM solution to enhance the mechanical and bioactive property of the raw ESM. Finally, we confirmed that the proliferation and differentiation of the osteoblast-like cells were increased on the HAp/ESM composite with appropriate composite conditions compared to those on the ESM solution. The proposed HAp/ESM composite could be used as new biomaterials for healthcare applications including bone tissue engineering.
