  • The black/white electronic ink containing high mobility white nano particles and the organic black pigment particles dispersed in dielectric fluid were prepared. A charge control agent affects the electrophoretic zeta potentials of white particle, which show the maximum value in zeta potential. The electronic ink panel fabricated with the charged white particles and the black particles exhibits more than 15:1 contrast ratio at 10V.

  • To search for the anti-diabetic principle from the stem bark of Kalopanax pictus, seven kinds of chemical constituents including hederagenin glycosides and phenolic glycosides wre isolated. The anti-diabetic evaluation of these isoltes in the streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats exhibited that kalopanaxsaponin A has a potent anti-diabetic activity in contrast to a mild activity of hederagenin. In addition, significant hypocholesterolemic and hypolipidemic activities of kalopanaxsaponin A and hederagenin were observed. The structure-activity relationship of kalopanaxsaponin A was also investigated in the present work.

  • The effects of social distancing measures on income distributions and aggregate variables are examined with an off-the-shelf heterogeneous-agent incomplete-market model. The model shows that social distancing measures, which limit households' labor supply, can decrease the labor supply of low-income households who hold insufficient assets and need income the most given their borrowing constraints. Social distancing measures can therefore exacerbate income inequality by lowering the incomes of the poor. An equilibrium interest rate can fall when the social distancing shock is expected to be persistent because households save more to prepare for rising consumption volatility given the possibility of binding to the labor supply constraint over time. When the shock is expected to be transitory, in contrast, the interest rate can rise upon the arrival of the shock because constrained households choose to borrow more to smooth consumption given the expectation that the shock will fade away. The model also shows that social distancing shocks, which diminish households' consumption demand, can decrease households' incomes evenly for every income quantile, having a limited impact on income inequality.

  • This research focuses on the physicochemical characteristic of fermentation of Aloe Saponaria. The fermentation process applied in this study had 2 variation, depends on the aloe part as the materials (bottom, middle, and tip) and the initial sugar content (24% and 0%) used. Tests are conducted using uinkin fermented powder, sugar, salt, and distilled water as fermenting agent. The results indicate that change in physicochemical properties of aloe's skin was larger than in aloe's gel as fermentation materials. In contrast, there was no significant change in aloe's leaf during the process. A lso, aloes with intial sugar condition of 24% show better results than which without sugar addition in fermentation.

  • Multifunctional nanomaterials based on mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) and metal oxide nanocrystals are among the most promising materials for theragnosis because of their ease of modification and high biocompatibility. However, the preparation of multifunctional nanoparticles requires time-consuming multistep processes. Herein, we report a simple one-pot synthesis of multifunctional Mn3O4/mesoporous silica core/shell nanoparticles (Mn3O4@mSiO2) involving the temporal separation of core formation and shell growth. This simple procedure greatly reduces the time and effort required to prepare multifunctional nanoparticles. Despite the simplicity of the process, the properties of nanoparticles are not markedly different from those of core/shell nanoparticles synthesized by a previously reported multistep process. The Mn3O4@mSiO2 nanoparticles are biocompatible and have potential for use in optical imaging and magnetic resonance imaging.

  • Previous research has shown that the use of self-disclosure, the process of revealing personal thoughts and feelings, in conversational agents (CAs) increases overall user evaluations. However, research exploring the effects of self-disclosure in different situations or dialogue types is limited. This study investigated the effects of self-disclosure and dialogue type (task- vs. social-oriented) on trust, usefulness, and usage intention. Results showed significant interaction effects between self-disclosure and dialogue type. For CAs that did not use self-disclosure, trust, usefulness, and usage intention were higher in task-oriented dialogues. In contrast, CAs that did use self-disclosure had higher trust, usefulness, and usage intention in social-oriented dialogues. These results suggest that researchers and designers should consider the specific dialogue types and corresponding user goals when adding human qualities, such as self-disclosure, to CAs.

  • Here, we present a case of a 56-year-old man with acute myocardial infarction. The patient underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) at the left main bifurcation and mid-left anterior descending artery using drugeluting stents. Four months after the PCI, the patient was readmitted for cardiac arrest. Coronary angiography (CAG) revealed stent thrombosis in the left main-to-proximal left anterior descending artery and in-stent restenosis in the left main-to-proximal left circumflex artery. We performed balloon angioplasty at the left main to mid-left anterior descending artery and left main to proximal left circumflex artery stents; subsequently, blood flow was fully restored. However, contrast agent extravasation was observed outside the mid-portion of the left main artery to the proximal left anterior descending artery stent, indicating the presence of a coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) outside the stent. After guideline-directed medical therapy with dual antiplatelet agents and high-intensity statins, follow-up CAG revealed near-resolution of the CAA, absence of stenotic lesions, and good blood flow.

  • 기초 검사를 통해 위장관계와 위장관 운동에 영향을 줄 수 있는 전신 질환이 없는 12 두의 5 kg 이하의 소형견들을 선별하여 사용하였다. 조영 전 단순 방사선 검사를 실시한 후, 30% 바륨을 체중 kg 당 12cc 를 위관 튜브를 통해 주입하였다. 그 후 일련의 방사선 사진을 촬영한 후, 우측횡와상과 복배상을 촬영하여 소장에 조영제가 골고루 분포된 사진을 선별하여 분석하였다. PACS viewer에서 우측횡와상 방사선 사진을 확대하고 대비도를 조정하여 조영된 장과 비교하고자 하는 해부학적 구조인 5번째 요추의 윤곽선이 뚜렷이 영상화되도록 한 후, 내장된 전자 caliper를 이용하여 최대 장직경과 5번째 요추의 가장 좁은 부분의 높이를 측정하였다. 복배상에서 역시 장직경과 12번째 늑골의 가장 넓은 부위의 경을 측정하였다. 위의 측정치를 소장과 요추 비율 (SI/L5 ratio) 그리고 소장과 늑골 비율 (SI/Rib ratio)로 명명하여 주로 대형견의 자료인 이전 연구와 비교평가하였다. 소형견에서의 SI/L5 ratio의 범위는 조영전 1.03-2.26 그리고 조영후 1.55-2.5 였으며, SI/Rib ratio는 조영전 2.16-4.52, 그리고 3.67-6.04 였다. 이는 이전부터 사용되어 오던 상위 한계인 SI/L5 ratio 1.6과 SI/Rib ratio 2 보다 높은 수치이며, 이러한 차이는 대형견에 비해 상대적으로 작은 골격구조 때문인 것으로 생각된다. 따라서 소형견에서는 정상 소장과 요추 비율의 상위 한계가 1.8배이며, 2.1배 이상일 경우 기계적 폐색을 의심할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

  • Sonazoid, a second-generation ultrasound contrast agent, was introduced for the diagnosis of hepatic nodules. To clarify the issues with Sonazoid contrast-enhanced ultrasonography for the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the Korean Society of Radiology and Korean Society of Abdominal Radiology collaborated on the guidelines. The guidelines are de novo, evidence-based, and selected using an electronic voting system for consensus. These include imaging protocols, diagnostic criteria for HCC, diagnostic value for lesions that are inconclusive on other imaging results, differentiation from non-HCC malignancies, surveillance of HCC, and treatment response after locoregional and systemic treatment for HCC.
