A Plant Breeder’s View on H5N1

Soon‐Kwon Kim 한국육종학회 2008 한국육종학회지 Vol.40 No.2

International conferences to block the spread of Avian bird flu occurred in Beijing, 2006 and others warned of the seriousness of the H5N1 strain. The meetings succeeded in generating billions of dollars from USA, EU and World Bank. Migratory birds seem to play a major role in the spread of the aggressive strain globally from Asia to Europe and Africa. Experiences of tolerance breeding of maize (Zea mays L.) for four decades against 20 biotic stresses suggest that the prime cause of the occurrence of H5N1 strain was due to the human beings’counter‐efforts against nature. Excessive use of chemicals (spray and injection) in the commercial poultry farms had created high selection pressure on virus. The new strain had mutated for survival. Attempting to eliminate the virus by chemicals for 100% control is a dangerous way to control biotic stresses. This can create more aggressive strains. A solution would be to build up tolerability of the commercial animals against the virus. Improvement of poultry cage environments and respect for nature must be integrated. Potential foes must be watched.

Background : Gastric cancer is the most common malignant tumor in Korea. surgical operation is one of the major treatment modalities for gastric cancer patients. Therefore, gastrectomy is one of the most common procedures in General Surgery. There were variation in length of hospital stay and medical treatment for gastrectomy between three surgeons at Asan Medical Center. Clinical pathways have received considerable attention as a tool for recucing the medical practice variation, increasing the efficiency of care process, and improving the quality of care. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a clinical pathway for gastrectomy in gastric cancer patients. Methods : The clinical pathway for gastrectomy was developed and implemented by a multidisciplinary group in Asan Medical Center. A computerized clinical pathway program was developed and revised after a pilot test. A total of 145 patients underwent gastrectomy by three surgeons at Asan Medical Center. We compared the length of hospital stay, patient satisfaction, and unplanned readmission rate between the pre-pathway group(n=67) and the post-pathway group(n=78). We also investigated the degree of satisfaction among the physicians and nurses who were main end-users of the clinical pathway. Results : The clinical pathway was applied to all target patients. The average length of hospital stay was shortened from 12.7days to 10.6days(p<0.01). The degree of patient satisfaction with the care process changed from 90.3% to 89.2% after the implementation of the clinical pathway, but the difference was of satistically significant(p=0.761). Unplanned readmission rate was 2.9% in the pre-pathway group. More than 90% of physicians and nurses answered that the clinical pathway had been a useful tool in their medical practice. Conclusions : The findings of the study demonstrated that implementation of the clinical pathway for gastrectomy produced substantial reduction in the length of hospital stay while improving the quality of patient outcomes. The computerized clinical pathway program can be used as one of the powerful patient management tools for reducing the practice variations and increasing the efficiency of care process in Korea hospital settings.

저해음의 비음화 : 음운론 및 음성학적 접근 Its Phonology and Phonetics

안현기,권순석,김기열 대한언어학회 2000 언어학 Vol.8 No.1

Ahn, Hyunkee, Soon-Suk Kwon, and Ki-Yeol Kim. 2000. Obstruent Nasalization: Its Phonology and Phonetics. Linguistics 8-1, 27-38. This paper discusses a Korean phonological rule, Obstruent Nasalization--i.e., an obstruent is phonologically nasalized when followed by a nasal. As is well known, this rule is productively prevalent in Korean, but not in English. Within the Optimality Theoretic framework, the difference in this phonological pattern between the two languages is well captured by means of adjusting the dominance relationship between two constraints (markedness and faithfulness constraints). This constraint-based explanation, however, doesn't suffice our question of why the phenomenon is phonetically natural in Korean, but cross-linguistically rare. To this question, we will provide one possible answer by suggesting that the markedness constraint is phonetically oriented due to a phonetic constraint on laryngeal feature juxtapositions.

Objective: Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) frequently occurs after percutaneous intervention. Objective of this study was to investigate the usefulness of serum cystatin C, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalcin (NGAL), urinary kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), and interleukin-18 (IL-18) as early predictors for CIN after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: In 53 patients who underwent PCI were enrolled. Serum creatinine and cystatin C level were measured immediately before, and 24 hours and 48 hours after catheterization. Serum NGAL, urinary KIM-1, and IL-18 were measured immediately before, and 4 hours, 24 hours, and 48 hours after catheterization. CIN was defined as a rise in creatinine 0.5 mg/dL or 25% above baseline. Results: CIN occurred in four patients (7.5%). Serum cystatin C levels were higher at 24 hours and 48 hours in CIN patients than in those without CIN (P<0.05). Serum NGAL levels were higher at 48 hours in CIN patients than in those without CIN. Urinary KIM-1 levels were higher at 48 hours in CIN patients than in those without CIN. There were no significant markers of CIN on multi-variate analysis. Conclusion: In this study, the occurrence of CIN after PCI was 7.5%. Although there were some time-course changes in serum cystatin C and urinary KIM-1 after PCI, there was no significant predictor for CIN after PCI.

Background : For cultivation of varieties of ginseng, the pure line selection method, which is to select the best among those cultivated in farms for pedigree breeding, replicated yield trials and regional adaptation trials before registering as a new variety, is widely used. Although there are 25 registered varieties of ginseng in Korea, the quality of ginseng is declining together with the amount of harvest being decreased by 15 - 20% due to the heat injuries and diseases from the warming & abnormal climate. Thus, the needs for development of disaster-resistant varieties with better chances of surviving through high temperature, salts and disease are increasing. Therefore, this study is to cultivate disaster-resistant varieties among those selected for their disaster tolerance and salt tolerance through regional adaptation trials. Methods and Results : As a result of examining the growth characteristics of the selected 2 - 5 year old varieties used in the study, among the 5-year old crops, Goryeo 4 and Eumseong 5 showed superior growth in both above and below aerial parts, and among the 4-year old crops, Eumseong 11 and Cheonryang showed superior growth while the growth in the below aerial parts were satisfactory in the order of Cheonryang > Eumseong 10 > Eumseong 11 > Eumseong 9. Among the 3-year old crops, the most superior growth in both above and below aerial parts was observed in Eumseong 14 with the weight of the below aerial part, root diameter and taproot length at 13.8 g, 11.8 ㎝ and 6.2 ㎝ respectively. Among the 2-year old crops, Eumseong 10 showed the most superior growth in both above and below aerial parts. Conclusion : Based on the above results, Goryeo 4 and Eumseong 5 among the 5-year old crops, Eumseong 11 among the 4-year old crops, Eumseong 14 among the 3-year old crops and Eumseon 10 among the 2-year old crops showed the most superior growth among the selected varieties. The growth characteristics of both above and below aerial parts in each year will continuously be monitored.

The characteristic of the steady two-dimensional supersonic flow with condensation along a wavy wall of small amplitude in channel is investigated through the direct marching method of characteristics. The very complex problem that may appear where the overlapping of the same family charateristics occurs, can be satisfactorily solved by means of the modified method suggested by Zucrow. In the present study for the case of supersonic moist air flow, the dependency of location of formation and reflection of oblique shock wave generated by the wavy wall, and distributions of flow properties, on the relative humidity and temperature at the entrance of wavy wall is clarified by plots of frozen Mach number and iso-flow properties. Also, it is confirmed that the wavy wall plays an important key role in the formation of oblique shock wave, and that the effect of condensation on the flow field appears apparently.

김호룡,권순천 연세대학교 산업기술연구소 1990 논문집 Vol.22 No.2

In the study, an expert system for the design of rolling bearings has been developed by using GURU which is expert system building tool and by constructing knowledge base which consist of rules and facts. The developed system is composed of three parts : the first one is the bearing selection part that recommands the correct combination of ball and roller bearing to support a shaft for a given set of operationg conditions, as initial stage of bearing design. After requesting the minimum amout of input data from the engineer, the second part calculates the parameters and compares with data-base which constains the specifications of bearing. If the results do not satisfy the selection criterion, the search process is repeated. When the malfunction occurs, the last part displays the causes of bearing failure and the countermeasures for correction. As the result of applying this algorithm to the several real design examples, the proper bearing combination and the bearing dimensions are obtained. Throuth inserting the expertise into the knowledge base, the conceptual design process which could not easily be manipulated by conventional CAD approach could be implemented in computer.

Some selected natural zeolites obtained from Kyungpook coastal area were modified by HCI, NaOH and NH_4OH solutions and exposed to the atmosphere of various vapour pressure within the desiccator. Generally, silica gel exhibited as good moisture adsorbent at high humidity and as poor adsorbent at low humid atmosphere. However, moisture adsorption capacities of mordenite such as Na^+-K_111, NH_4^+-K_111, Na^+-Y_11 exceeded the silica gel at the lower moisture pressure than 16 torr. NH_4^+-MOrdenite proved itself to be best adsorbent in the closed system whose moisture pressure diminished as the time eclipsed. This system was most closely simulated to the working conditions of those commercial dryer in the package.
