Objectives: To characterize Five Woons in 1993, 1994 and 1995. Methods: A diagnostic questionnaire was given to 1066 High School students who were born in Korea from 1993 to 1995. One of the Five Woons was given to the participant based on his and her birthday. The oneway analysis of variance was applied to compare the means of the Five Woons in each year. Results: 1. Developed a reliable questionnaire consisting of 28 items for the purpose of chracterizing five constitutions. 2. Based on the Duncan method, significant differences were observed among the Five Woons in height, weight and BMI (p<0.1). For height, the score of Wood constitution was lowest. For weight the core of Soil constitution was lowest. 3. Based on the Duncan method, at the significant level (p<0.1), the Five Woons were different in each year (Gapsul year, Eulhae year, Gyeyoo year) for 28 items in the questionnaires: Q1, Q2,Q3, Q7, Q8, Q11, Q12, Q15, Q18, Q19, Q21, Q22, Q24, Q26, Q27 and Q28. Conclusions: Further clinical research is necessary to characterize five constitutions and also develop more delicate analyses and questionnaires. Also the diagnosis and corresponding treatments based on the Five Woons should be further studied in view of the Asian medicine.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the fourth most common cause of cancer death in the world. Genetic variants in 8q24.21 including rs10505477 and rs6983267 have been hypothesized to be involved in susceptibility to CRC. This study aims to investigate the possible association between these loci and their haplotypes with CRC risk in Iranian population. Materials and Methods: Subjects were recruited from two hospitals in Tehran. The rs10505477 and rs6983267 polymorphisms were genotyped by TaqMan real time PCR using subject genomic DNA, extracted either from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue of patients or from blood of the controls by standard methods. Results: A total of 715 subjects (380 CRC patients and 335 matched controls) were genotyped in this study. Allele and genotype analysis of the rs10505477 and rs6983267 polymorphisms by gender, age at diagnosis, tumor location, tumor grade, and tumor node metastasis (TNM) showed no significant association with CRC risk. There was a significant relationship between GG haplotype and susceptibility to age at diagnosis for both <60 and ${\geq}60$ (p=0.0005 and p=0.000004, respectively) and between GT and CRC in the age at diagnosis ${\geq}60$ (Table 3: p=0.031). The GG haplotype was less frequent in CRC patients with the age at diagnosis <60, but was more common in subjects with the age at diagnosis ${\geq}60$. Conclusions: Results of this study suggests that the rs6983267 and rs10505477 polymorphisms alone may not be relevant to CRC risk, but their GG haplotype plays a notable role in age at diagnosis of CRC in the Iranian population.

Background An abnormally obtuse cranial base angle, also known as platybasia, is a common finding in patients with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS). Platybasia increases the depth of the velopharynx and is therefore postulated to contribute to velopharyngeal dysfunction. Our objective was to determine the clinical significance of platybasia in 22q11DS by exploring the relationship between cranial base angles and speech resonance. Methods In this retrospective chart review at a tertiary hospital, 24 children (age, 4.0-13.1 years) with 22q11.2DS underwent speech assessments and lateral cephalograms, which allowed for the measurement of the cranial base angles. Results One patient (4%) had hyponasal resonance, 8 (33%) had normal resonance, 10 (42%) had hypernasal resonance on vowels only, and 5 (21%) had hypernasal resonance on both vowels and consonants. The mean cranial base angle was $136.5^{\circ}$ (standard deviation, $5.3^{\circ}$; range, $122.3-144.8^{\circ}$). The Kruskal-Wallis test showed no significant relationship between the resonance ratings and cranial base angles (P=0.242). Cranial base angles and speech ratings were not correlated (Spearman correlation=0.321, P=0.126). The group with hypernasal resonance had a significantly more obtuse mean cranial base angle ($138^{\circ}$ vs. $134^{\circ}$, P=0.049) but did not have a greater prevalence of platybasia (73% vs. 56%, P=0.412). Conclusions In this retrospective chart review of patients with 22q11DS, cranial base angles were not correlated with speech resonance. The clinical significance of platybasia remains unknown.

The possibility of employing biomass of Salix viminalis cv. Q683 as a resource of bio-energy was evaluated. The chemical analysis of S. viminalis cv. Q683 leaf biomass showed components such as, extractives (2.57%), lignin (39.06%), hemicellulose (21.61%), and cellulose (37.83%), whereas, its stem was composed of extractives (1.67%), lignin (23.54%), hemicellulose (33.64%), and cellulose (42.03%). The biomass of S. viminalis cv. Q683 was saccharified using two enzymes celluclast and viscozyme. The saccharification of S. viminalis cv. Q683 biomass was influenced by enzymes and their strengths. The optimal enzyme combination was found to be celluclast (59 FPU/g substrate) and viscozyme (24 FBG/g substrate). On saccharification the glucose from leaf and stem biomass was 7.5g/L and 11.7g/L, respectively after 72 hr of enzyme treatment. The biomass and enzyme-treated biomass served as the feedstock for ethanol production by fermentation. The ethanol production from stem and leaf biomass was 5.8 g/L and 2.2 g/L respectively, while the fermentation of the enzymatic hydrolysates yielded 5 g/L to 8 g/L bioethanol in 72 hours.

To investigate the chilling sensitivity related injuries in the photosynthetic apparatus of cucumber leaves, the light-chilling induced alterations of chlorophyll fluorescence transients in cucumber leaves were compared with those in pea leaves. As an early effect of light-chilling, an increase in Fp/Fm$^*$ was observed in both pea and cucumber leaves, which was saturated by about 6 h chilling. However, the saturated value of Fp/Fm was almost 1.0 in cucumber, in contrast to about 0.8 in pea. During the recovery period after 24 h chilling, the light-chilling induced changes in pea seemed to be reversed, but those in cucumber leaves were thought to be irreversible, because Fo was increased significantly. Light-chilling caused significant decreases in qQ and qE in cucumber leaves, but qR was increased until 6 h, and decreased thereafter. In both pea and cucumber leaves, Fm was increased by 2 h dark treatment. The Fm from the predarkened pea leaf discs was higher than the value from the preilluminated ones during the whole period of light-chilling (500 $\mu$mol m$^{-2}$s$^{-1}$ PAR). However, the predarkened cucumber leaf discs showed a reduction in Fm and an increase in Fo during the 2 h chilling in the light. These results indicate that the causes of chilling sensitivities in photosynthetic apparatus of cucumber leaves are possibly related with the damage in PSI reaction center and the ability of acidification of lumen by PSII.

폐 관류 스캔은 방사성 물질의 폐동맥 내 미세색전증을 이용하여 폐색전증의 진단에 이용되고 있으며, 만성 폐쇄성 질환이나 국소 폐 관류평가 및 조기 폐암발견 등에 이용된다. 또한 폐암환자에서의 수술 및 방사선 치료 전, 후 국소 폐 기능 예측을 위하여 이용된다. 이를 위하여 관류의 정확한 정량화가 필요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 모든 병변 및 장기에 추적자의 흡수율 정량화가 가능한 SPECT/CT의 Q-Metrix (GE Healthcare, USA)프로그램을 활용하여 실제로 많이 이용되고 있는 평면영상의 두 가지 결과 산출 방법에 대한 상관관계 및 각 엽의 차이를 비교 평가하고자 한다. Discovery NM/CT 670 scanner (GE Healthcare, USA)장비에서 2015년 5월 1일부터 2016년 9월 13일까지 수술 전 폐암환자 50명을 대상으로 시행하였다. 환자에 대하여 $^{99m}Tc-MAA$(macro aggregated albumin) 185 MBq (5 mCi)를 정맥 주사하였고 후면 영상(Posterior view)을 기준으로 전면, 우측면, 좌측면, 우후사면, 좌후사면 영상을 획득하였다. 평면 폐 관류검사 직후 SPECT/CT를 시행하였고 영상의 Processing은 GE사 Xeleris 3.1 Workstation에서 시행하였다. 후방사면 방법은 오른 엽과 왼 엽에 사각형의 관심영역을 설정하였고 RPO영상은 3엽, LPO영상은 2엽으로 나누어 각 엽에 대한 흡수율을 얻었다. 전후 방법은 오른 엽, 왼 엽에 각각 3개의 사각형의 ROI를 설정하여 흡수율을 구하였고 왼 엽은 2엽으로 구분되어 Left middle lobe은 Left upper lobe로 포함시켜 결과를 산출하였다. Q-Metrix Method는 CT영상에 직접 관심 영역(Region of interests, ROI)을 설정하였다. 시상면(Sagittal)영상에서 2개의 Slice마다 ROI를 설정하였고 관심부피(Volume of interest, VOI)를 이용하여 체적에 대한 흡수율을 분석하였다. 통계 분석은 SPSS version 23.(SPSS Inc. USA)를 이용하여 분석하였다. Q-Metrix 방법과 후방사면 방법의 흡수율에 대한 일치 상관관계는 Right upper lobe(RUL)는 0.663, Right middle lobe(RML)는 0.623, Right lower lobe(RLL)는 0.702이고 Left upper lobe(LUL)는 0.754, Left lower lobe(LLL)는 0.823로 가장 높은 상관관계를 보였다. 전후 방법은 RML는 0.035로 흡수율이 증가되어 가장 낮은 상관관계를 보였고, RUL는 0.224, RLL는 0.447로 흡수율이 감소되었다. 왼 엽에서 LUL는 0.643, LLL는 0.456로 나타났다. 전체적인 상관관계는 후방사면 방법은 0.795로 높은 상관관계를 보였고, 전후 방법은 0.161로 나타났다. 각 엽의 차이는 Q-Metrix방법 평균${\pm}$표준편차는 RUL, RML, RLL순서대로 각각 $20.12{\pm}6.21$, $10.86{\pm}3.83$, $24.57{\pm}7.80$이고 LUL, LLL는 각각 $24.34{\pm}6.47$, $20.12{\pm}7.11$로 나타났다. 동일한 순서대로 후방사면 방법의 오른 엽은 $17.4{\pm}5.0$, $10.5{\pm}3.6$, $27.3{\pm}6.0$이었고, 왼 엽은 $21.6{\pm}4.8$, $23.1{\pm}6.6$으로 나타났다. 전후 방법에 대한 오른 엽의 평균${\pm}$표준편차는 $11.6{\pm}4.5$, $26.9{\pm}6.2$, $17.8{\pm}4.2$이고, 왼엽은 $28.4{\pm}4.8$, $15.4{\pm}5.6$로 나타났다. 본 논문에서 Q-Metrix방법에 대한 평면영상의 두 가지 방법 간에는 차이가 있는 것으로 보였다. 전후 방법의 RML는 과대평가 되었으며 RML, RLL는 상대적으로 과소평가 되었고, 모든 엽에서는 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다(P<0.05). 후방사면 방법은 전후 방법보다 4배정도의 높은 상관관계를 보였고, oblique영상을 활용하여 흡수율이 과대, 과소평가가 되는 것을 줄일 수 있었다. SPECT/CT검사를 시행하지 않거나 planar image 획득 시 후방사면 방법을 이용하면 보다 실용적인 결과 값을 기대할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. 또한 많은 환자에 대한 데이터 분석과 호흡에 대한 보정, 객관적인 방법으로 관심영역을 설정한다면 보다 정확한 결과를 산출할 수 있을 것이라 사료된다.

Radionuclide cardiac angiography has distinct advantages in safety, patient comfort, cost and ease of performance. This method offers diagnostic accuracy equivalent to that of cardiac catheterization. By this method the qualitative and quantitative diagnosis of the cardiac shunts are available. Also for it is repeatable with ease and more physiologic, it has application in following pre- and post-operative shunt patients. We performed the radionuclide cardiac angiographies in 147 cases of heart diseases and 26 cases of normal group. 1. The detection of left-to-right shunt was possible in 22 of 24 patients, and 2 patients were not diagnosed due to small shunt amount. (Qp/Qs<1.3) In 21 patients of right-to-left shunt, all were diagnosed by radionuclide cardiac angiography. 2. With the pulmonary time-activity curve, $C_2/C_1$ ratio was calculated. In normal control group, a range of $C_2/C_1$ ratios of $21{\sim}38%$ was established with a mean value of $28.6{\pm}4.6%$. In patients with left-to-right shunts determined by catheterization data, the range of $C_2/C_1$ ratio was $33{\sim}90%$, with a mean value of $67.8{\pm}12.2%$. 3. In 8 cases of left-to-right shunt, $Q_p/Q_s$ ratios determined by radionuclide cardiac angiography were compaired with those of cardiac catheterization. The correlation coefficient was 0.907. (P<0.001) 4. Postoperative radionuclide cardiac angiographies were done in 21 cases. 3 of 13 patients with left-to-right shunts were found to have residual shunts. 8 patients with right-to-left shunts were confirmed to have no residual shunt.

The purpose of this study is to suggest the ecological management based on ecological characteristics of urban forest in Bucheon city. The actual vegetation area in the survey sites(7,426,587$m^2$) consisted of Robinuia pseudoacacia forest(61.6%; 5,574,168 $m^2$), Pinus rigida forest(6.1%), Quercus mongolica community(3.2%), Q.spp.community(2.9%), etc. According to the importance value of artificial planting forest, 58(/300$m^2$) survey plots were divided into 6 groups; 1) R. pseudoacacia forest, 2) R. pseudoacacia-Q.serrata community, 3) R. pseudoacacia-Q.mongolica community, 4) P.rigide forest, 5) P.rigida-Q.serrata community, 6) P.rigida-Q. mongolica community. As the result, the artificial planting forest was expected to the proceeded to Q. serrata community and Q.mongolica community. The ecological succesion stage in the survey sites (7,426,587$m^2$) was divided into 5 states based on actual vegetation, succession trend of artificial planting forest in Bucheon; 1) Stage of impossible succession(4.7%, 2)Stage of inducible succession(78.7%), 3) Stage of progressive succession(2.7%), 4)Sage of last succession(1.4%), 5)Stage of native plant forest(12.5%). The ecological management of urban forest was suggested as the management method for succession promotion, according to density controlling and native species planting in Bucheon. Individual numbers of R. pseudoacacia might be reduced to 6~8 individuals/300$m^2$ at canopy, 9~21 individuals/300$m^2$ at under-story by selective cutting in order to keep 63~70% of total basal area at R. pseudoacacia forest. Individual numbers of P.rigida might be reduced to 8~9 individuals/300$m^2$ at canopy, 27~30individuals/300$m^2$ at under-story by selective cutting in order to keep 68~75% of total basal area at P. rigida forest. 24 species that were selective by constancy analysis were chosen as the ecological appropriate species. Since, this studyis discussing the ares of urban forest and botanical ecology, it is suggested that a study on the relations between of environmental factors such as soil, climate, and vegetation will be performed in the future.
