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>

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.

<P>It is widely known that the degeneration of neural circuits is prominent in the brains of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients. The reciprocal connectivity of the medial septum (MS) and hippocampus, which constitutes the septo-hippocampo-septal (SHS) loop, is known to be associated with learning and memory. Despite the importance of the reciprocal projections between the MS and hippocampus in AD, the alteration of bidirectional connectivity between two structures has not yet been investigated at the mesoscale level. In this study, we adopted AD animal model, five familial AD mutations (5XFAD) mice, and anterograde and retrograde tracers, BDA and DiI, respectively, to visualize the pathology-related changes in topographical connectivity of the SHS loop in the 5XFAD brain. By comparing 4.5-month-old and 14-month-old 5XFAD mice, we successfully identified key circuit components of the SHS loop altered in 5XFAD brains. Remarkably, the SHS loop began to degenerate in 4.5-month-old 5XFAD mice before the onset of neuronal loss. The impairment of connectivity between the MS and hippocampus was accelerated in 14-month-old 5XFAD mice. These results demonstrate, for the first time, topographical evidence for the degradation of the interconnection between the MS and hippocampus at the mesoscale level in a mouse model of AD. Our results provide structural and functional insights into the interconnectivity of the MS and hippocampus, which will inform the use and development of various therapeutic approaches that target neural circuits for the treatment of AD.</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.

Background: The most common type of dementia, Alzheimer's disease (AD), is marked by the formation of extracellular amyloid beta (Aβ) plaques. The impairments of axons and synapses appear in the process of Aβ plaques formation, and this damage could cause neurodegeneration. We previously reported that non-saponin fraction with rich polysaccharide (NFP) from Korean Red Ginseng (KRG) showed neuroprotective effects in AD. However, precise molecular mechanism of the therapeutic effects of NFP from KRG in AD still remains elusive. Methods: To investigate the therapeutic mechanisms of NFP from KRG on AD, we conducted proteomic analysis for frontal cortex from vehicle-treated wild-type, vehicle-treated 5XFAD mice, and NFP-treated 5XFAD mice by using nano-LC-ESI-MS/MS. Metabolic network analysis was additionally performed as the effects of NFP appeared to be associated with metabolism according to the proteome analysis. Results: Starting from 5,470 proteins, 2,636 proteins were selected for hierarchical clustering analysis, and finally 111 proteins were further selected for protein-protein interaction network analysis. A series of these analyses revealed that proteins associated with synapse and mitochondria might be linked to the therapeutic mechanism of NFP. Subsequent metabolic network analysis via genome-scale metabolic models that represent the three mouse groups showed that there were significant changes in metabolic fluxes of mitochondrial carnitine shuttle pathway and mitochondrial beta-oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Conclusion: Our results suggested that the therapeutic effects of NFP on AD were associated with synaptic- and mitochondrial-related pathways, and they provided targets for further rigorous studies on precise understanding of the molecular mechanism of NFP.
