Les idees et la traduction

( Su Wei Yan ) 한국통역번역학회 2005 FORUM Vol.3 No.1

Languages such as Chinese and French are so different from one another as regard to linguistic structure that the translation can never be done from a purely linguistic dimension. In such context, what should the starting point be for a translator doing his work? In other words, what`s the target of a translating operation? It is nothing but the idea, which results from understanding and cognitive interpretation of original expression. Every translation means persona interpretation of translator. The idea, to a certain extent, emerged from understanding in non-verbal form. The same idea not only gave birth to author`s expression but also generates the expression by which the translator reformulates, in his turn, what he understood in the original text.

Wei Su,Gicheol Wang,Gihwan Cho 한국멀티미디어학회 2010 한국멀티미디어학회 국제학술대회 Vol.2010 No.-

Security issues are indispensable and important in wireless sensor network. Currently, the majority of classical works on security are focus on how to prevent networks from outside attacks, such as encryption and authentication schemes. But they are useless for the inside attacks, such as compromised nodes. In order to prevent the inside attacks and optimize the data aggregation, we proposed a secure and opportunistic clustering scheme. Firstly, the proposed scheme makes use of a trust model to evaluate the behaviors of nodes. Secondly, based on the hexagon structure, it proposes a secure and opportunistic clustering scheme to prevent inside attacks by using the trust model.

Su, Long,Gao, Su-Jun,Tan, Ye-Hui,Han, Wei,Li, Wei Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2013 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.14 No.9

Objectives: To explore the relationships between age, cytogenetic subgroups, molecular markers, and cells with leukemic aberrant immunophenotype in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Methods: In this study, we evaluated the correlations between age, cytogenetic subgroups (normal, balanced and unbalance karyotype), molecular mutations (NPM1, FLT3-ITD, and CEBPA mutations) and marrow leukemia cells (LC) identified by flow cytometry in 256 patients with de novo AML. Results: From age group 10-19 years to age group ${\geq}60$ years, the percentage of LC decreased from $67.0{\pm}18.4%$ to $49.0{\pm}25.1%$ (F=2.353, P=0.041). LC percentage was higher in patients with balanced karyotypes ($65.7{\pm}22.4%$), than those with unbalanced karyotypes ($46.0{\pm}26.6%$) (u=3.444, P=0.001) or a normal karyotype ($49.9{\pm}22.1%$) (u=5.093, P<0.001). Patients with FLT3-ITD ($64.3{\pm}19.5%$) had higher LC percentages compared with those without ($54.2{\pm}24.3%$) (u=2.794, P=0.007). Conclusions: Associations between age, cytogenetics, molecular markers, and marrow leukemia cells may offer beneficial information to understand the biology and pathogenesis of AML.

Bupropion for Interferon-Alpha-Induced Depression in Patients with Hepatitis C Viral Infection: An Open-Label Study

Wei-Chun Chen,Hsueh-Chou Lai,Wen-Pang Su,Mahalakshmi Palani,Kuan-Pin Su 대한신경정신의학회 2015 PSYCHIATRY INVESTIGATION Vol.12 No.1

Interferon (IFN)-α therapy for chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is frequently associated with major depressive episodes. Bupropion, a commonly used antidepressant agent, has recently found to have strong anti-inflammatory effects in animal models. Despite of the theoretical relevancy, the antidepressant effect of bupropion in IFN-alpha-induced depression has never been studied. Ten HCV patients with IFN-α-induced depression were recruited to receive 8-week bupropion treatment and were assessed every 2 weeks for depressive symptoms by the Hamilton rating scale for depression (HAMD) and somatic symptoms by the Neurotoxicity Rating Scale (NRS). Four of the 10 patients met the criteria for remission (total HAMD scores≤7), and 5 patients met the criteria for response (at least 50% reduction in total HAMD scores). In addition, 5 patients had 50% decreases in NRS for neuropsychiatric symptoms. This preliminary open-label study suggests that bupropion is effective in treating IFN-alpha-induced depressive and somatic symptoms.

Su-Bin Lee,Meicai Wei,Jong-Wook Lee 한국응용곤충학회 2013 한국응용곤충학회 학술대회논문집 Vol.2013 No.10

The subfamily Sterictiphorinae which include 324 species from 26 genera is widespread group of sawfly. Most recorded species of Sterictiphorinae distributed in the Palaearctic, Nearactic, Oriental and Afrotropic regions. Among them, only 20 species have been reported from the Eastern Palaearctic region. Unfortunately, this group is very poorly studied in Korea. In the Korean fauna were reported only one species, Sterictiphora tanoi Togashi 1997(Togashi, 1997). The larvae of genus Sterictiphora feed on cherry and serviceberry (Smith, 1979). The adults of genus Sterictiphora are easily distinguished from the other genera of Sterictiphorinae by following characters: convex anterior margin of the head in dorsal view, hind wing with very long anal cell. As a result of this study, we report five new species, Sterictiphora rugosa sp. nov., S. gapjangensis sp. nov., S. flavicollis sp. nov., S. koreana sp. nov. and S. daeguensis sp. nov. and provide a key to Korean species and diagnosis with photos of five new species.

Taxonomy of the Genus Aproceros and Yasumatsua (Symphyta: Argidae: Sterictiphorinae) with Descriptions of One New Species from South Korea

Su-Bin Lee,Meicai Wei,Jong-Wook Lee 한국응용곤충학회 2013 한국응용곤충학회 학술대회논문집 Vol.2013 No.10

The genera Aproceros and Yasumatsua have not been recorded in Korea previousely. Genus Aproceros is small genus among genera of subfamily Sterictiphorinae with 10 described species. Almost species of this genus recorded in Eastern Palaearctic region except A. scutellis Wei & Nie, 1998 from Oriental region. Also, genus Yasumatsua has been reported only two species: Y. albitibia Togashi, 1990 and Y. nigra Togashi, 1970 in the world. Key characters of the genera Aproceros and Yasumatsua as following: (1) Aproceros: anal cell of hind wing absent; head narrowed behind eyes; basal anal cell of fore wing open, (2) Yasumatsua: anal cell of Hind wing closed; claw with a basal lobe; face between antennal sockets narrow with sharp median carina (Meicai, 1997). Biology and ecology of these two genera are poorly studied. In this study we record one unrecorded species of genus Aproceros and described one new species of genus Yasumatsua from Korea. Also, key to korean genera of subfamily Sterictiphorinae, diagnoses of Aproceros and Yasumatsua and photos of morphological characters are provided.

Molecular Biology and Omics : Construction of a Shuttle Vector for Protein Secretory Expression in Bacillus subtilis and the Application of the Mannanase Functional Heterologous Expression

( Su Guo ),( Jia Jie Tang ),( Dong Zhi Wei ),( Wei Wei ) 한국미생물 · 생명공학회 2014 Journal of microbiology and biotechnology Vol.24 No.4

We report the construction of two Bacillus subtilis expression vectors, pBNS1/pBNS2. Both vectors are based on the strong promoter P43 and the ampicillin resistance gene expression cassette. Additionally, a fragment with the Shine-Dalgarno sequence and a multiple cloning site (BamHI, SalI, SacI, XhoI, PstI, SphI) were inserted. The coding region for the amyQ (encoding an amylase) signal peptide was fused to the promoter P43 of pBNS1 to construct the secreted expression vector pBNS2. The applicability of vectors was tested by first generating the expression vectors pBNS1-GFP/pBNS2-GFP and then detecting for green fluorescent protein gene expression. Next, the mannanase gene from B. pumilus Nsic-2 was fused to vector pBNS2 and we measured the mannanase activity in the supernatant. The mannanase total enzyme activity was 8.65 U/ml, which was 6 times higher than that of the parent strain. Our work provides a feasible way to achieve an effective transformation system for gene expression in B. subtilis and is the first report to achieve B. pumilus mannanase secretory expression in B. subtilis.

TRAUMA AND QUEST IN TONI MORRISON’S HOME

Su Wei 부산외국어대학교 외국어연구소 2019 외국어연구 Vol.32 No.-

In her novel Home, Toni Morrison shows that home is the place where trauma begins and ends by describing various events. In those descriptions, she also suggests how each character suffers from PTSD caused by their traumatic events. As for this many critics suggests the relationship between the events and PTSD. Based on a few critics’ arguments, this paper suggests how the issues of trauma are resolved by the characters’ life pattern that is anchored at leaving and coming home. In doing so, it reveals that the such traumatic experience of leaving and coming home bear witness to American social historical event including racial segregation, post slavery, Korean War, medical care system and economic depression. Key words: Home, PTSD, traumatic events, racial segregation, post slavery, Korean War

Wei-Ling Chen,Srinivasan Nithiyanantham,Yan-Chiao Mao,Chih-Hsin Muo,Chih-Pin Chuu,Shih-Ping Liu,Min-Wei Huang,Kuan-Pin Su 대한정신약물학회 2022 CLINICAL PSYCHOPHARMACOLOGY AND NEUROSCIENCE Vol.20 No.3

Objective: Endometrial cancer is the most common malignancy of the female genital tract worldwide, and the associated relationship between endometrial cancer formation and various antipsychotics need to be confirmed. Methods: We conducted a case-control study by using data from Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database to compare individual antipsychotic exposure between females with and without endometrial cancer. Among 14,079,089 females in the 12-year population-based national dataset, 9,502 females with endometrial cancer were identified. Their medical records of exposure to antipsychotics, including quetiapine, haloperidol, risperidone, olanzapine, amisulpride, clozapine, and aripiprazole, for up to 3 years before endometrial cancer diagnosis were reviewed. Daily dosage and cumulative exposure days were analyzed in the risky antipsychotic users. Additionally, the subsequent 5-year mortality rate of endometrial cancer among users of the risky antipsychotic were also analyzed. Results: Among endometrial cancer patients, the proportion of those who have used haloperidol before being diagnosed with endometrial cancer is significantly higher than other antipsychotic users. The significant odds ratio (OR) and a 95% confidence interval of 1.75 (1.31−2.34) were noted. Furthermore, haloperidol users were associated with a significantly higher 5-year mortality rate after getting endometrial cancer than non-users. Conclusion: There is a high correlation between the use of haloperidol and endometrial cancer formation. However, the underlying pathological biomechanisms require additional investigations.
