Lee, Meesun,Lee, Sangmi,Jeong, Hohyn,Park, Manyong,Kim, Dong-Woung,Song, Bong-Keun,Lee, Jong-Deok,Lee, Ho Sub,Kim, Sungchul KOREAN PHARMACOPUNCTURE INSTITUTE 2013 Journal of pharmacopuncture Vol.16 No.1

Objective: The aim of this experiment was to investigate the effect and the mechanism of Geumgoeshingi-whan (GGSGW) Pharmacopuncture at the acupoint GV 4 on the blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Methods: SHR were injected with normal saline solution (Control-SHR group)or GGSGW Pharmacopuncture (GGSGW-SHR group) at the acupoint GV 4. The systolic arterial blood pressure and renal parameters were measured for two weeks. Results: The systolic arterial blood pressure was decreased significantly after GGSGW Pharmacopuncture at the acupoint GV 4 in SHR, followed by a significant rise in creatine clearance. The plasma levels of aldosterone were decreased significantly after GGSGW Pharmacopunctureas were the plasma levels of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP). Conclusion: These results suggest that the blood pressure was decreased significantly after GGSGW Pharmacopuncture at the acupoint GV 4 in SHR and that the depressor response of the blood pressure was related to decreases in the plasma levels of aldosterone and ANP.

Lee, Seongjin,Cha, Eunhye,Yang, Muhak,Lee, Jongdeok,Lee, Jiyoung,Lee, Sojin,Kim, Deokho,Kim, Sungchul Korean AcupunctureMoxibustion Medicine Society 2018 Korean Journal of Acupuncture Vol.35 No.1

The aim of this report was to show the effects of acupotomy in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. Four patients were treated with acupotomy twice. Visual analogue scale (VAS), Tinel's sign, Phalen's test, Boston carpal tunnel syndrome questionnaire (BCTQ), muscular strength test, and a cross-sectional area of median nerve was measured using ultrasound before and after treatment. In all 4 cases, the VAS score, BCTQ score and cross-sectional area of median nerve, all decreased and muscular strength test score increased. Tinel's sign and the Phalen's test changed from a positive to a negative in most cases. This report shows that acupotomy is an effective treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome. Further larger are needed to fully evaluate the beneficial effects of this treatment.

Analysis of Prey of Mandarin Fish and Large Mouth Bass and Distribution of Fish Population in Lake Paro, Korea

Jaeyong Lee,Kwang yeol Lee,Sungchul Park,Jaeseok Choi,Hong gi Jang,Joon Chul Kim 한국환경생태학회 2015 한국환경생태학회지 Vol.29 No.2

We quantified temporal and spatial changes in the habitat for fish populations, the distribution of mandarin fish(Siniperca scherzeri) and an introduced species, largemouth bass(Micropterus salmoides) in Lake Paro and inflowing streams. The number of fish species identified in Lake Paro and the tributary streams included 10 families, 24 species and 10 families 30 species, respectively. The dominant fish species in Lake Paro were Zacco platypus, Hemibarbus labeo, Squalidus gracilis majimae, S. scherzeri and Tridentiger brevispinis, Z. platypus, Z. koreanus, and S. gracilis majimae in the inflowing streams. Although the habitat segregation for S. scherzeri and M. salmoides occurs, these two species showed the use of the fishes of the family Gobiidae as an important prey item based on IRI analysis. S. scherzeri and M. salmoides preyed mainly on T. brevispinis(67.4 %) and R. brunneus(84.0 %), respectively. The species preyed on by S. scherzeri and M. salmoides were benthic fishes that inhabit shallow water depths around the lake and have little swimming ability.

본 연구는 인공지능을 활용한 서술형 평가 문항 자동채점 프로그램 WA³I을 개발하였으며, 이 프로그램이 학습 지원 도구로서 활용되기 위한 방안에 대하여 논하였다. 먼저 컴퓨터를 활용한 서술형 평가 자동채점에 대한 기존 연구들을 정리하고, 본 연구에서 개발한 서술형 평가 자동채점 프로그램 WA³I의 개발 과정을 소개하였다. 본 연구에서는 31개의 서술형 평가 문항을 개발하고 이에 대한 학생의 응답을 수집하였으며, 이 중 컴퓨터와 전문가 채점간의 일치도가 높은 19개의 문항에 대한 자동채점 모델을 개발하였다. 이 자동채점 모델로 채점 가능한 유사 문항 11개를 더 개발하여 총 30개의 문항을 웹상에서 WA³I ver.1으로 구현하였다. 효과적인 교수ㆍ학습을 위해 본 연구에서 개발된 서술형 자동채점 프로그램 WA³I ver.1의 개선 과제 및 추후 연구 방향에 대해 논하였다. 이러한 내용은 현장과학교사들의 평가 계획 및 실행에 영향을 줄 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. This study developed WA³I, which is automated computer scoring system in open-ended assessment using artificial intelligent and discussed how to utilize WA³I as a learning-support tool. To do this, the previous research dealing with automated computer scoring system has been reviewed and explained the development process of WA³I in Korea. We developed 31 open-ended questions and collected the students’ responses. Among the 31 questions, nineteen questions showing the high agreement between computer and human scoring were selected and scoring model were developed. In additions to selected nineteen questions, eleven questions were added as the prototype of web-based WA³I ver.1. We discussed how it can be improved in order to facilitate the effective teaching and learning. This paper is expected to give an implication to the science teachers’ assessment plan and practice.

Efficient and Low-Cost Metal Revision Techniques for Post Silicon Repair

Lee, Sungchul,Shin, Hyunchul The Institute of Electronics and Information Engin 2014 Journal of semiconductor technology and science Vol.14 No.3

New effective techniques to repair "small" design errors in integrated circuits are presented. As semiconductor chip complexity increases and the design period becomes tight, errors frequently remain in a fabricated chip making revisions required. Full mask revision significantly increases the cost and time-to-market. However, since many "small" errors can be repaired by modifying several connections among the circuit blocks and spare cells, errors can frequently be repaired by revising metal layers. Metal only revision takes significantly less time and involves less cost when compared to full mask revision, since mask revision costs multi-million dollars while metal revision costs tens of thousand dollars. In our research, new techniques are developed to further reduce the number of metal layers to be revised. Specifically, we partition the circuit blocks with higher error probabilities and extend the terminals of the signals crossing the partition boundaries to the preselected metal repair layers. Our partitioning and pin extension to repair layers can significantly improve the repairability by revising only the metal repair layers. Since pin extension may increase delay slightly, this method can be used for non-timing-critical parts of circuits. Experimental results by using academia and industrial circuits show that the revision of the two metal layers can repair many "small" errors at low-cost and with short revision time. On the average, when 11.64% of the spare cell area and 24.72% of the extended pins are added to the original circuits, 83.74% of the single errors (and 72.22% of the double errors) can be corrected by using two metal revision. We also suggest methods to use our repair techniques with normal commercial vender tools.

Genetic specificity study using next-generation sequencing (NGS) of peritoneal metastatic colorectal cancer compared to primary colorectal cancer

Lee Sungchul,Shin Wonseok,Park Dong-Guk,Namgung Hwan 한국유전학회 2024 Genes & Genomics Vol.46 No.3

Background In patients with colorectal cancer, peritoneal metastases are the second most frequent metastatic lesion after liver metastases. Peritoneal metastases have a very poor prognosis, with a median survival time of 5–7 months. Currently, there is a lack of research on the genetic differences between primary colorectal cancer and peritoneal metastases. Therefore, we aimed to identify their genetic characteristics through a cancer panel test using next-generation sequencing. Objective We aim to investigate the specificity of genetic variants in primary colorectal cancer and peritoneal metastases. Methods We recruited patients with stage I, II, and III primary colorectal cancer and peritoneal metastases for genetic analysis using NGS. Samples were collected from patients who underwent surgery at Dankook University Hospital and consented to genetic testing. NGS was performed using a cancer panel. Results Among 36 patients with primary cancer, TP53 gene mutation was identified the most in 25 patients (69%), followed by APC gene mutation in 19 patients (53%), and KRAS gene mutation in 17 patients (47%). In the peritoneal metastasis patient group, unlike the primary cancer patient group, KRAS gene mutations were the most common 6 patients (55%), followed by TP53 gene mutations in 4 patients (36%) and PIK3CA gene mutations in 2 patients (18%). Conclusion The small number of surgical cases of peritoneal metastases was a limitation of our sample size. Nevertheless, we identified differences in the alterations of specific genes between primary and peritoneal metastases. Acquiring additional cases and collecting more data will provide deeper insights into these cancers.
