In 1965 Lauren divided advanced gastric carcinoma into two main types-namely, "intestinal" and "diffuse" type carcinoma, which differ not only morphologically but also in their clinical and epidemiological characteristics. Moreover, a different histogenetic process has been postulated by many authors that intestinal type gastric carcinoma might arise from areas with intestinal metaplasia. Since Warren and Marshall reported the presence of Helicobacter pylori in the stomach in 1983, strong evidence has been obtained that there is a close relationship between Helicobacter pylori and chronic gastritis, atrophic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia, and intestinal type gastric carcinoma. To study the relationship between intestinal metaplasia and Helicobacter pylori infection, we performed gastroscopic biopsies and CLO tests taken from patients with epigastric pain. Only 87 patients with macroscopically suspected antral gastritis were included. The prevalence of intestinal metaplasia in gastric antral biopsies increased from 33.3% in the age group<30 years to 63.6% in the age group 60 years. When all patients were divided into two age groups-namely, (i)<50 years(n=41) and (ii)≥ 50 years(n-=46), intestinal metaplasia was found significantly more often in patients ≥ 50 years. ((i) 39.2%, (ii) 54.3%, p<0.0001). The prevalence of Helicobacter pylori in gastric antral biopsies decreased from 66.7% in the age group<30 years to 62.5%, in the age group in the age group 50 to 59 years. When all patients were divided into the same two age groups-namely(i)<50 years and (ii)≥50 years, the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori did not differ between two groups in a statistically significant way. The mean age of intestinal metaplasia positive patients who were also Helicobacter pylori positive was 48±11.0(mean±S.D.)years, whereas the mean age of intestinal metaplasia positive patients who were Helicobacter pylori negative was 52±9.7(mean±S.D.)years. In conclusion. although our data do not prove a causal relationship between Helicobacter pylori infection and the histogenesis of intestinal metaplasia, we suggest that Helicobacter pylori plays an important role in the development of intestinal metaplasia in the gastric mucosa. Whether Helicobacter pylori has to be present at all times during this process or is only necessary as a 'trigger', needs further research.

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic syndrome that results from target-tissue resistance to insulin. Obesity is the condition of excess body fat accumulation. T2DM and obesity are both associated with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and abdominal obesity. In Korean medicine, Yangkyuksanhwa-tang (YKSHT) has been prescribed for patients with T2DM. Oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT), multiplex assays and hemoglobin A<SUB>1C</SUB> (HbA1C) assessments were performed to determine the anti-diabetic effects of YKSHT and two major compositions of YKSHT, <I>Lonicera japonica</I> Thunb. (LJT) and <I>Rehmannia glutinosa</I> (RG) on <I>db/db</I> mice, a rodent model for T2DM. To study the anti-obesitic effects of LJT, RG or YKSHT, blood profiling including the triglycerides (TGs) and the total, LDL and HDL cholesterol levels were measured. In addition, body index measures such as the liver, retroperitoneal and epididymal fat tissues were collected and weighed. Mice treated with RG or YKSHT showed reduced blood glucose levels after stimulating the plasma GLP-1 levels. The multiplex assay results support the weight-controlling effects of the LJT, RG and YKSHT treatments, showing reducing levels of ghrelin and the induction of peptide YY (PYY) secretion. The YKSHT treatment reduced plasma TG levels and increased HDL cholesterol levels. The weights of the liver, retroperitoneal and epididymal fat tissues were reduced after the YKSHT treatment. Hence, we suggest that YKSHT can be utilized for the prevention and treatment of T2DM and obesity simultaneously.</P>

Lee, Hyeon-Geun,Kim, Daejong,Park, Ji Yeon,Kim, Weon-Ju Elsevier 2019 Ceramics international Vol.45 No.18

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>A SiC and ZrC composite coating layer on a tristructural-isotropic (TRISO) coated particle was deposited by fluidized bed chemical vapor deposition method. Methyltrichlorosilane (MTS) and ZrCl<SUB>4</SUB> powder were used as the source materials of the SiC coating and the ZrC coating, respectively. Two kinds of the SiC and ZrC composite coating layers were fabricated with other source gas fraction. The composite coating layer, with a similar ratio of SiC and ZrC, which was observed in the SEM microstructure, was fabricated, and each phase was confirmed by XRD, Raman, and TEM analysis. Only the SiC and ZrC phases were co-deposited; the ZrSi and free carbon phases were not. The composite coating layer with very small ZrC particles embedded in a SiC matrix was fabricated by decreasing the ZrCl<SUB>4</SUB> source gas ratio. Nano-sized ZrC particles in the coating layer were confirmed by high resolution TEM and EDS analysis.</P>

<P>A magnetically-separable and highly-stable enzyme system was developed by adsorption of enzymes in superparamagnetic hierarchically ordered mesocellular mesoporous silica (M-HMMS) and subsequent enzyme crosslinking. Superparamagnetic nanoparticles were homogeneously incorporated into hierarchically-ordered mesocellular mesoporous silica (HMMS) by the decomposition of a preformed iron propionate complex. The size of the incorporated superparamagnetic nanoparticles was around 5 nm, generating a magnetically separable host with high pore volumes and large pores (M-HMMS). α-chymotrypsin (CT) was adsorbed into M-HMMS with high loading (∼30 wt%) in less than 30 minutes. Glutaraldehyde (GA) treatment of adsorbed CT resulted in nanometer scale crosslinked enzyme aggregates in M-HMMS (CLEA-M). The activity of these CT aggregates in M-HMMS (CLEA-M-CT) was 34 times than that of simply adsorbed CT in M-HMMS, due to an effective prevention of enzyme leaching during washing <I>via</I> a ship-in-a-bottle approach. CLEA-M-CT maintained the initial activity not only under shaking (250 rpm) for 30 days, but also under recycled uses of 35 times. The same approach was employed for the synthesis of CLEA-M of lipase (CLEA-M-LP), and proven to be effective in improving the loading, activity, and stability of enzyme when compared to those of adsorbed LP in M-HMMS.</P> <P>Graphic Abstract</P><P>Crosslinked enzyme aggregates in magnetitie-coated mesoporous silica, fabricated <I>via</I> a two-step procedure of enzyme adsorption and crosslinking, were highly active, highly stable, and easily recyclable using a magnet. <IMG SRC='http://pubs.rsc.org/services/images/RSCpubs.ePlatform.Service.FreeContent.ImageService.svc/ImageService/image/GA?id=b909109b'> </P>

Effect of Sesbania Incorporation as Nitrogen Source on Growth and Yield of Whole Crop Barley and Reduction of N Fertilizer in Saemangeum Reclaimed Tidal Land

Lee, Su-Hwan,Bae, Hui-Su,Oh, Yang-Yeol,Lee, Sang-Hun,Kim, Yeong-Joo,Kim, Sun,Ryu, Jin-Hee,Jung, Kang-Ho,Lee, Choong-Geun,Kim, Jae-Hyeon,Kim, Yeong-Doo,Choi, Weon-Young,Cho, Jae-Yeong,Lee, Kyoung-Bo,Le 한국토양비료학회 2016 한국토양비료학회지 Vol.49 No.6

It is known that the poor soil fertility of newly reclaimed saline soils is due to the lack of organic matter and available mineral nutrients for crop production. The effect of green manuring with Sesbania aculeata in combination with five rates of urea-N treatments (N0. N25, N50, N75, N100) on the productivity of a subsequent whole-crop barley and the fertility of the reclaimed saline soil in Saemangeum was evaluated in the field during 2013-2014 growing season. Sesbania was grown during summer season (June to October). The amount of Sesbania incorporated was $16.2Mg\;ha^{-1}$. Sesbania contributed to $393kg\;N\;ha^{-1}$ to the soils when ploughed down and incorporated before whole-crop barley cultivated. The performances of whole-crop barley following sesbania incorporation were significantly affected by a combination of Sesbania manuring and different N rates. The N fertilizer equivalence without N fertilizer following Sesbania was 42.6% ($63.9kg\;N\;ha^{-1}$), compared with N100 ($150kg\;N\;ha^{-1}$) in fallow soils. The whole-crop barley yield responded to N fertilizer rates in both sesbania-amended and fallow soil. The yield response to nitrogen rates in fallow soil was linear (Y=0.0586X+3.3011, $R^2=0.9534$), whereas that in sesbania-amended soils was quadratic (Y= -0.001X2+0.1322X+5.7143, $R^2=0.9576$). The yield of whole-crop barley in sesbania-amended with increasing N rates was increased up to SN75 (115 kgN) $10.3Mg\;ha^{-1}$. Apparent N recovery (ANR) of whole-crop barely showed decreased with sesbania plus increasing rates of N fertilizer. Despite higher yield with sesbania manuring plus increasing N rates, the contributions of N from Sesbania with increasing N rates to whole-crop barley were decreased, whereas those from fertilizer increment due to excessively mineralized Nitrogen. Considering yield, ANR, N contribution from Sesbania and nitrogen fertilizer, the optimum N rate was N50 rate following sesbania incorporation.

Lee, Seung-Hyun,Seo, Jaesung,Park, Soo-Yeon,Jeong, Mi-Hyeon,Choi, Hyo-Kyoung,Lee, Chan Joo,Kim, Mi Jeong,Guk, Garam,Lee, SooYeon,Park, Hyewon,Jeong, Jae-Wook,Ha, Chang Hoon,Park, Sungha,Yoon, Ho-Geun National Academy of Sciences 2018 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF Vol.115 No.18

<P>Programmed cell death 5 (PDCD5) has been associated with human cancers as a regulator of cell death; however, the role of PDCD5 in the endothelium has not been revealed. Thus, we investigated whether PDCD5 regulates protein kinase B (PKB/AKT)-endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS)-dependent signal transduction in the endothelium and affects atherosclerosis. Endothelial-specific PDCD5 knockout mice showed significantly reduced vascular remodeling compared with wild-type (WT) mice after partial carotid ligation. WT PDCD5 competitively inhibited interaction between histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) and AKT, but PDCD5(L6R), an HDAC3-binding-deficient mutant, did not. Knockdown of PDCD5 accelerated HDAC3-AKT interaction, AKT and eNOS phosphorylation, and nitric oxide (NO) production in human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Moreover, we found that serum PDCD5 levels reflect endothelial NO production and are correlated with diabetes mellitus, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and coronary calcium in human samples obtained from the cardiovascular high-risk cohort. Therefore, we conclude that PDCD5 is associated with endothelial dysfunction and may be a novel therapeutic target in atherosclerosis.</P>

Development and Gene Expression of Porcine Cloned Embryos Derived from Bone Marrow Stem Cells with Overexpressing Oct4 and Sox2

Lee, Jeong-Hyeon,Lee, Won-Jae,Jeon, Ryoung-Hoon,Lee, Yeon-Mi,Jang, Si-Jung,Lee, Sung-Lim,Jeon, Byung-Geun,Ock, Sun-A,King, W. Allen,Rho, Gyu-Jin Mary Ann Liebert 2014 Cellular reprogramming Vol.16 No.6

<P>The present study compared the potential of porcine bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (pBMSCs) at different passages as nuclear transfer (NT) donors and the developmental efficiency of NT embryos from donor cells transfected with/without Oct4 and Sox2. Early-passage pBMSCs showed higher proliferation and expression of Oct4 and Sox2 and differentiation potential into mesenchymal lineages than middle- and late-passage pBMSCs. Cleavage rate did not differ among pBMSCs at different passages, but NT embryos with early-passage pBMSCs and middle-passage pBMSCs transfected with Oct4 (Oct4-pBMSCs) had significantly (p<0.05) higher blastocyst development than those with middle-passage pBMSCs. The incidence of apoptotic bodies in NT blastocysts from late-passage pBMSCs and Sox2-transfected middle-passage pBMSCs (Sox2-pBMSCs) was significantly (p<0.05) higher than others. The transcriptional levels of Oct4, Sox2, Nanog, Cdx2, Dnmt3a, and Igf2r genes were significantly (p<0.05) higher in Oct4- and Sox2-pBMSCs NT embryos. Middle-passage pBMSCs NT embryos revealed lower transcriptional levels of Bcl2 than others, except Sox2-pBMSCs NT embryos. The transcriptional level of Bax increased gradually in NT embryos derived from pBMSCs following extended passages and was significantly (p<0.05) higher in Sox2-pBMSCs NT embryos. Our results demonstrated that early-passage pBMSCs are more potent in expressing transcription factors and displayed higher differentiation ability, and middle-passage pBMSCs transfected with Oct4 improved the developmental efficiency of NT embryos, suggesting that high Oct4 expression cells are more efficient as NT donors.</P>

Recent Approaches to Dialog Management for Spoken Dialog Systems

Lee, Cheong-Jae,Jung, Sang-Keun,Kim, Kyung-Duk,Lee, Dong-Hyeon,Lee, Gary Geun-Bae Korean Institute of Information Scientists and Eng 2010 Journal of Computing Science and Engineering Vol.4 No.1

A field of spoken dialog systems is a rapidly growing research area because the performance improvement of speech technologies motivates the possibility of building systems that a human can easily operate in order to access useful information via spoken languages. Among the components in a spoken dialog system, the dialog management plays major roles such as discourse analysis, database access, error handling, and system action prediction. This survey covers design issues and recent approaches to the dialog management techniques for modeling the dialogs. We also explain the user simulation techniques for automatic evaluation of spoken dialog systems.
