Dr. Rosetta Hall, an American missionary physician, and Dr. Jeong-hee Gil, a young Korean physician, founded the Joseon (Keijo) Women`s Training Institute in 1928. Between 1933 and 1937, Dr. Gil and her husband, Dr. Kim Tak-won, maintained and financed the medical institute. Supporting the institute placed a heavy burden on the young doctors who were just establishing their private medical practice. Despite this burden, they undertook the work necessary to elevate the institute to a full medical college. In order to generate the substantial funds needed to establish the medical college, they created a foundation for the “creation of a women`s medical college” in 1934 and solicited funding. In 1937, a philanthropist interested in furthering education, Mr. Kim Jong-ik, agreed to donate the funding necessary to elevate the institute to a medical college. Mr. Kim, however, unexpectedly contracted dysentery and died. In his will, Mr. Kim bequeathed a portion of his estate to upgrading the institute to a medical college. The executor, contrary to Mr. Kim`s intent as set forth in his will, however, did not use the funds to elevate the institute, but rather established a completely new women`s medial college. The executor`s actions were a clear violation of Drs. Kim`s and Gil`s legal rights as beneficiaries under the will. They, nonetheless, accepted the outcome, because challenging the executor`s actions under Japanese rule would have been futile as Dr. Kim was a noted anti-Japanese patriot well known to the Japanese. Moreover, Sato Gozo had been Dr. Kim`s teacher at the Keijo Medical College. Most importantly, their dream of establishing a women`s medical college in Korea had been realized regardless of how. Regardless of whether the institute had been elevated to a medical college or not, Drs. Kim Tak-won and Gil Jeong-hee made great sacrifices to further the education of women medical doctors in Korea and should be recognized for their great contributions to the creation of Korea Women`s Medical College.

Comparison of Characteristics of Soybean Varieties Grown in a Green House and open Field for Leaf Use

Kim, Yong_Duk,Yang, Young_Taek,Kim, Kyung_Ho,Kim, Sung_Taek,Kang, Hyoung_Shick 한국작물학회 2008 한국작물학회 학술발표대회 논문집 Vol.2008 No.10

Jeju islanders consume soybean leaves as a wrapping for slices of raw fish and pork, eating mainly the young, raw, but fully extended leaf. These leaves are known to contain several kinds of functioning compounds, such as amino acids, isoflavones, flavonoids and pterocarpans. Farmers grow soybean leaves, but different soybean varieties and their characteristics for soybean leaf production have not been studied. Therefore, this study compared agronomic characteristics and iso flavones among varieties grown in a green house and in an open field. The results were as follows: There were differences in agronomic characteristics among the varieties and between places grown; generally, indoor growing produced bigger and more abundant leaves of higher quality. There were also differences in isoflavone contents in soybean leaves. Soybean leaves harvested earlier contained higher amounts in total concentration. Plants grown outside showed slightly higher but, different concentrations of the compunds studied. These results indicate that it is possible to control the isoflavone levels with varieties used, and harvest time and place.

Yong-Dae Kim1, Hyojin Kwon, Sun-In Moon, Sang-Yong Eom, Jung-Duk Park, Byung-Sun Choi, Seok-Joon Sohn, Young-Seoub Hong, Ho Kim, Ho-Jang Kwon, Ji-Ae Lim, Hae-Jung Yoon, Gwang-Jin Kim, Heon Kim 충북대학교 동물의학연구소 2012 Journal of Biomedical and Translational Research Vol.13 No.3

Competitive ELISA methods were used to measure the level of aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) from urine in 1008 Korean adults. Subjects were selected by random sampling in all areas of Korea, except Cheju-do. The recovery rate of AFM1 using this method was 105% (73-124%). The geometric mean of urinary AFM1 in all subjects was 3.43 pg/mL (3.67 ng/g creatinine). The level of AFM1 in males was statistically higher, compared with female subjects. However, the levels of AFM1 did not differ according to age. Subjects in Chungbuk-do showed the highest urinary AFM1 concentration, whereas subjects in Kyeongnam-do showed the lowest concentration. Assuming an excretion rate of 5%, this AFM1 excretion corresponds to approximately 0.1 microgram/day in Korean adults.

경성여자의학전문학교 창립의 주체였던 김탁원,길정희부부는 왜 실제 설립 과정에서 제외되었는가?

Chosun (a.k.a. Keijo) Women``s Medical Training Institute was founded in 1928 as a joint effort between an American missionary physician named Dr. Rosetta Sherwood Hall and one of Korea’s first female physicians, Dr. Kil Chung-Hee. In 1932, in anticipation of her retirement, Dr. Hall transferred full responsibility for the Institute to Dr. Kil and her husband Dr. Kim Taik-Won, a neuropsychiatrist. Unfortunately, following Dr. Hall``s departure to America in 1933, funding from Dr. Hall’s missionary society was discontinued. This prompted an evacuation of the Institute’s lecture halls and teaching laboratories. As a result of this change in finances, the Institute’s operations were transported to, and maintained exclusively at, Drs. Kim and Kil``s private residence. During this interim period, the institute was sustained financially by this husband and wife team. In addition to these new found financial difficulties, there were ongoing political hardships. In an effort to alleviate these various difficulties, the couple decided to pursue the task of upgrading the Institute to a standard medical college. As a first step toward this goal, in 1934, the couple established a foundation for the “creation of a women``s medical college”. This undertaking (i.e., the creation of a medical college) required a large amount of funding. Therefore, the couple became actively engaged in the solicitation of funding for this purpose. In 1937, an education philanthropist named Mr. Kim Chong-Ik agreed to donate substantial funds for the purpose of establishing the women’s medical college. As fate would have it, however, / 49 he unexpectedly contracted dysentery and died suddenly. The application for the creation of a women``s medical college was filed and approved in 1938 by the Japanese Governor-General. Thus, the first class of students in the newly created medical college was enrolled on May 1, 1938. Curiously, however, neither Dr. Kim nor Dr. Kil was named in the charter. Although one could presuppose various reasons to explain how this omission occurred, there is one undeniable aspect of history that makes clear and cogent sense in this regard. It is now known that Dr. Kim was a leading activist for Korean independence from Japan during the 1920’s and 1930’s. He was regarded as an agitator by the Japanese occupation government and viewed as an undesirable, rebellious, anti-Japanese element. The South Korean government, in recognition of his heroic deeds during that period of Japanese occupation, posthumously awarded the Ae-Jok Jan(humanitarian award) to Dr. Kim Taik-Won on August 15, 2007. On July 4, 2008, his remains were subsequently transferred, along with his professional partner and wife Dr. Kil Chung-Hee, to the Korean National Cemetery in Daejon, South Korea. If one considers the political climate that existed in Korea in the late 1930’s under Japanese occupation, it stands to reason that any medical college application that included an anti-Japanese activist such as Kim Taik-Won would be doomed to fail. I believe that the absence of Drs. Kim Taik-Won and Kil Chung-Hee’s names from the medical college charter was a rational, politically motivated act of omission.

Inhibitory effects of Diospyros kaki in a model of allergic inflammation: Role of cAMP, calcium and nuclear factor-κB

KIM, HUI-HUN,KIM, DUK-SIL,KIM, SUNG-WAN,LIM, SE-HYUN,KIM, DAE KEUN,SHIN, TAE-YONG,KIM, SANG-HYUN Spandidos Publications 2013 International journal of molecular medicine Vol.32 No.4

<P>Diospyros kaki (D. kaki) has been cultivated throughout Eastern Asia for hundreds of years. D. kaki contains various biological active compounds, such as amino acids, carotenoids, ?avonoids, tannins, catechins and vitamin A. Previous studies have shown that D. kaki has beneficial effects on homeostasis, constipation, hypertension, atherosclerosis and allergic dermatitis and is a good source of antioxidants, polyphenols and dietary ?ber. However, the anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory effects of D. kaki have not yet been elucidated. This study aimed to investigate the protective effects of the aqueous extract of Diospyros kaki (AEDK) on mast cell-mediated allergic inflammation and to determine its possible mechanisms of action by using in vitro and in vivo mast cell-based models. The cAMP and intracellular calcium levels were measured to clarify the mechanisms by which AEDK inhibits the release of histamine from mast cells. AEDK inhibited the release of histamine and β-hexosaminidase from mast cells by modulating cAMP and intracellular calcium levels. We also measured the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-1β. AEDK decreased gene expression and the secretion of the pro-inflammatory cytokines, TNF-α and IL-1β by inhibiting nuclear factor-κB. In addition, AEDK inhibited systemic and cutaneous allergic reaction. The inhibitory effects of AEDK on allergic reaction and the release of histamine were found to be similar to those of disodium cromoglycate, a known anti-allergic drug. To isolate the active component of AEDK, activity-guided fractionation was performed, based on the inhibitory effects on systemic anaphylaxis. Catechin was identified as an active compound. The present findings provide evidence that AEDK inhibits allergic inflammation and suggest the therapeutic application of AEDK in allergic inflammatory disorders.</P>

Kim, Seon-Seol,Ko, Yu-Jin,Jang, Ji-Young,Lee, Theresa,Lim, Myung-Ho,Park, Sang-Yeol,Bae, Shin-Chul,Yun, Choong-Hyo,Park, Beom-Seok,Hwang, Duk-Ju The Korean Society of Plant Pathology 2008 Plant Pathology Journal Vol.24 No.4

The cDNA clone of Brassica rapa WRKY7 (BrWRKY7) was obtained from EST collection in Brassica genomics team and its DNA sequence was determined. The cDNA clone is 1,037 bp long in nucleotides and encodes an open reading frame of 307 amino acids. Based on a phylogenetic tree, BrWRKY7 belongs to group IId. BrWRKY7 was induced by wound and SA. It was also induced by pathogen attack such as Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris (Xcc), suggesting that this BrWRKY may play an essential role in defense response of chinese cabbages.

Sang Wook Kim(김상욱),Ji Hye Jung(정지혜),Kwan Suk Kim(김관석),Cheol Koo Lee(이철구),Jong Joo Kim(김종주),Bong Hwan Choi(최봉한),Tae Hun Kim(김태헌),Ki Duk Song(송기덕),Byung Wook Cho(조병욱) 한국생명과학회 2007 생명과학회지 Vol.17 No.11

본 연구는 돼지 4번 염색체에서 FAT1 좌위의 후보유전자인 Adipocyte Fatty-Acid 결합단백질 (FABP4) 유전자에서 8개의 Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) 를 발견하였다. Duroc, Landrace, Berkshire, Yorkshire를 기초 축으로 이용한 800두에 대해 FABP4 유전자의 단일염기 분석과 PCR-RFLP를 이용하여 그 다형성을 조사하고 돼지의 일당증체량, 등지방두께, 사료요구율, 정육율과 그 유전자형 간의 연관성을 규명하고자 실시하였다. FABP4 유전자에 대해 각 단일염기에 관한 PCR-RFLP를 이용하여 400~800 bp 산물을 증폭한후 각각의 제한효소로 사용하여, 얻어진 FABP4 유전자의 빈도는 품종별로 다르게 나타났다. 통계적 분석을 통하여 각 유전자형에 대한 경제형질과 연관성을 분석한 결과 일당증체량, 등지방두께, 정육율, 사료요구량은 다른 유전자형을 가진 개체들이 유의적으로 우수한 능력을 보였다 (P<0.05). FABP4유전자는 일당증체량, 정육율, 등지방두께 에 높은 연관성이 있음을 관찰하였다. 따라서 돼지의 성장과 정육율에 관련된 선발력을 높이기 위해서 FABP4 유전자의 다형성 분석에서 검증된 PCR marker를 우량돼지육종 계획에 있어 분자생물학적 선발 marker로 사용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. We found 8 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in adipocyte fatty acid bonding protein (FABP4) gene as candidate gene of FAT1 locus on pig chromosome 4. With over 800 heads of major commercial pig breeds including Duroc, Landrace, Berkshire and Yorkshire, we analyzed SNPs of FABP4 gene to determine possible effects of FABP4 genotype to economically important traits. 400~800 bp amplicons in FABP4 gene were used PCR-RFLP for each SNPs and we found that the frequency of some SNPs of this gene was different among the breeds. According to the statistical analyses to determine possible associations of each genotype with economic traits, it was found that subgroup with different genotypes showed significant differences in daily gain, backfat thickness, lean percentage and feed conversion ratio (P<0.05). Thus, as a part of enhancing the selection competence related to swine growth rate and lean percentage, it is expected that FABP4 gene markers verified in this study will be useful to use for Korean commercial pig industry.

Attentional Distractibility Induced by Optokinetic Stimulation in Mild Cognitive Impairment

Kim, Eun-Joo,Kwon, Hyunji,Lee, Byung Hwa,Kim, Geon Ha,Seo, Sang Won,Na, Duk L. Lippincott WilliamsWilkins, Inc. 2011 ALZHEIMER DISEASE AND ASSOCIATED DISORDERS Vol.25 No.2

A recent study has shown that optokinetic stimulation (OKS) can induce attentional distractibility in Alzheimer disease (AD). In this study, we investigated whether OKS also perturbs balanced attentional deficit in patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI), a prodromal phase of AD, and explored whether the effects of OKS at baseline differ between aMCI patients who convert to AD at follow-up (converters) and those who do not (nonconverters). A total of 44 patients with aMCI, 14 patients with subcortical vascular mild cognitive impairment (svMCI), and 35 age-matched and education-matched normal controls were studied for their ability to bisect solid lines superimposed on a background of OKS. Background OKS movements were either leftward or rightward, or were stationary. A total of 33 of the 44 patients with aMCI were clinically followed for an average of 2.8 years, of which there were 15 converters and 18 nonconverters. Under both the leftward and rightward movement conditions, the magnitudes of line bisection errors (LBEs) in aMCI patients were greater than in normal controls. However, there were no differences in LBEs between svMCI patients and normal controls or between aMCI and svMCI patients. Baseline LBEs of aMCI converters were significantly greater than those of nonconverters in both leftward and rightward movement conditions. These results may indicate that OKS is useful for detecting AD at a very early stage and for predicting the conversion of aMCI to AD.

Kim, Kyung-Jo,Jung, Sang-Su,Yang, Suk-Kyun,Yoon, Soon Man,Yang, Dong-Hoon,Ye, Byong Duk,Byeon, Jeong-Sik,Myung, Seung-Jae,Kim, Jin-Ho Lippincott WilliamsWilkins, Inc. 2011 JOURNAL OF CLINICAL GASTROENTEROLOGY Vol.45 No.6

BACKGROUND: No study has systematically investigated the colonoscopic findings and histologic diagnostic yield in the diagnosis of colorectal endometriosis. OBJECTIVES: We classified the colonoscopic features of colorectal endometriosis and determined the diagnostic yield of endoscopic biopsy in relation to endoscopic subtypes of colorectal endometriosis. METHODS: A total of 17 patients with colorectal endometriosis were assessed. The data from the colonoscopic and histologic assessments made between November 1994 and October 2009 were retrospectively analyzed in single tertiary referral teaching hospital. RESULTS: Colonoscopy showed eccentric wall thickening in 14 patients (82%) and polypoid lesions in 3 patients (18%). Surface nodularities were noted in 11 of the 14 patients (79%) with eccentric wall thickening, and in 1 of the 3 patients (33%) with polypoid lesions. The overall histologic diagnostic yield was 47% (8 of the 17 patients). The rate of histologic confirmation was higher in patients with surface nodularities (8 of the 12 patients, 67%) versus those without (0 of the 5 patients, 0%) surface nodularities (P=0.02). CONCLUSIONS: Eccentric wall thickening is the most common colonoscopic finding of colorectal endometriosis, and the histologic diagnostic yield of endoscopic biopsy is high when lesions are accompanied by surface nodularities.
