1998년 Ginsberg등은 전이성 폐암의 새로운 병기를 제시하였다. 이 병기 제안은 폐 전이 병소의 완전절제 여부, 무병생존기간, 폐 전이 병소의 개수를 예후 인자로 제시하여 이들을 기초로 병기를 나누었다. 우리는 세브란스 병원의 전이성 폐암 환자들을 분석하여 새로운 병기와 장기 생존율의 상관관계에 대하여 연구하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1990년부터 200년까지 전이성 폐암으로 수술적 치료를 받은 111명을 대상으로 하였다. 이둘 중 103명(92.8%)에서 완전절제가 가능하였다. 원발성 종양에 따라 분류하였을 때, 암종이 60명, 육종이 46명, 그 외의 질환이 5명이었다. 무병생존기간은 0에서 35개월까지가 79명, 36개월 이상이 32명이었다. 하나의 폐 전이 병소를 가진 환자가 53명, 여러 개의 폐 전이 병소를 가진 환자가 58명이었다. 평균 추적기간은 49개월이었다. 결과: 전이성 폐암이 완전절제 후 3년 생존율은 48.2%, 5년 생존율은 32.6%인 반면, 불완전절제한 경우에서 3년 생존율은 21.9%였다. 완전절제한 한자들 중에서 무병생존기간이 0에서 35개월까지의 환자군에서 3년 생존율은 40.5%, 5년 생존율은 30.4%였고 36개월 이상인 환자군에서 3년 생존율은 75.9%, 5년 생존율은 39.0%였다. 하나의 폐 전이 병소를 가진 환자군의 3년 생존율 45.8%, 5년 생존율 30.5%이었고 여러 개의 병소를 가진 환자군의 3년 생존율 50.0%, 5년 생존율 34.4%였다. 병기 1기인 환자군의 3년 생존율 58.5%, 5년 생존율 43.8%, 2기 54.0%, 37.4%, 3기 38.4%, 3기 38.2%, 27.9%, 그리고 4기의 3년 생존율은 21.9%였다. 결론: 새로운 전이성 폐암의 병기 모델에 따른 세브란스 병원 환자들의 분석 결과, 병기가 진행됨에 비례하여 생존율도 감소하였으나, 통계학적으로 유의한 차이는 아니었다. 전이성 폐암의 예후 인자를 규명하기 위해서는 보다 많은 경험과 오랜 기간 동안의 추적 조사가 필요하리라 생각된다.

본 연구의 목적은 한국 기업에 의한 해외직접투자의 특성을 밝히고, 한국 과 같은 개발도상국 기업의 해외직접투자를 설명하는 데 있어서 기존 해외직접투자 이론의 적용 가능성 정도를 살펴보는 데 있다. 삼성그룹에 대한 조사결과 개도국 기업의 해외직접 투자와 선진국 기업의 그것은 본질적으로 크게 다른 것으로 나타났다. 비록 던닝(Dunnig)의 절충이론(eclectic model)이 다양한 유형의 해외직접투자를 설명하는 데 가장 유용한 설명의 틀을 제공하고 있기는 하지만, 이 이론 또한 개도국 기업에 의한 선진 자본주의 국가에의 직접투자 현상에 대해서는 명쾌한 설명을 하지 못하고 있다. 한국 기업에 의한 초기 해외 직접투자의 근본 이유는 직접투자의 기본 전제조건인 기업특유의 우위요소 (firm-specific advantages)를 이용하는 데 있었다기보다는 기존의 수출시장을 선진국의 무역규제로부터 방 어하는 데 있었다. 따라서 한국 기업의 주된 관심은 선진국 기업에 대한 비교우위 (comparative disadvantages)와 외국비용(Cost of foreignness)을 최소화 하는 데 모아졌다. 한국 기업의 유일한 전략은 (국내 계열기업에서 값싸게 생산된 부품을 피투자국의 현지 조 립라인에 공급하는 방식을 통하여) 한국의 입지적 우위요소와 규모경제의 효과를 기업의 내 부거래 (intra-organizational transactions)를 통하여 피투자국으로 이전하는 것이었다. 하지 만 이러한 임시방편적인 방법은 선진국 정부가 현지에서 의무적으로 조달해야 하는 역내 부 품 공급비율을 크게 상향 조정하자 더 이상 이들 국가의 무역규제를 회피하는 수단이 될 수 없게 되었다. 이러한 변화에 대한 대응책으로 한국 기업은 선진국으로부터 관세와 쿼터 규 제를 받지 않는 주변의 개발도상국에 부품생산 공장을 건설하였다. 부품생산 공장의 입지변 화는 선진국의 무역규제를 우회적으로 회피할 뿐만 아니라 동시에 개도국의 저렴한 노동력 을 활용하기 위한 것이었다. 보다 최근에 한국 기업의 해외직접투자는 피투자국(host countries)의 내수시장과 값싼 노동력을 이용하기 위하여 인도네시아와 중국과 같은 여타의 개도국에 집중되고 있다, 이러한 입지변화는 한국 기업의 대 선진국 직접투자의 수익율이 극히 저조한 데 기인한 것이다. 우리나라 해외직접투자 기업의 이와 같은 입지변화 (선진 자본주의 국가$\longrightarrow$선진국 주변의 개도국$\longrightarrow$기타 개도국)는 해외직접투자가 하나의 지배적인 요 인보다는 다양한 요인에 의해 영향받는 것을 암시하고 있다. 더구나 한국 기업은 선진국 기 업에 비해 극히 제한된 기업특유의 우수요소만을 갖고 있기 때문에 한국 기업의 해외직접투 자는 선진국 기업의 그것과 분명히 다른 특성을 보이고 있다. 하기만 이는 기존의 직접투자 이론이 개도국기업의 다양한 해외직접투자를 설명하는 데 전혀 도움이 되지못한다는 것을 의미하는 것은 아니다. 실제로 기존의 직접투자 이론은 한국 기업에 의한 개도국에의 직접 투자를 잘 설명하고 있다. 직접투자를 통하여 적정 수준의 이윤을 실현하기 위해서는 기업 특유의 우위요소를 확보하는 것이 가장 중요하므로 선진국 기업과 개도국 기업에 의한 해외 직접투자는 장기적인 관점에서 볼 때 커다란 차이를 나타내지 않는다. 본 연구가 발견한 핵 심적인 내용은 해외직접투자 기업이 조직의 내부거래를 통하여 기업특유의 우위요소 뿐단 아니라 국가적 비교 우위 요소를 동시에 피투자국으로 이전한다는 사실이다. 이러한 연구결 과는 상호간에 단절되어 있는 무역이론과 해외직접투자이론을 연결시킬 수 있는 실마리를 제공하는 것으로 보인다. 이는 본국으로부터 피투자국에 공급되는 부품의 가격경쟁력에 투 자국의 국가적 우위요소가 상당한 영향을 미치기 때문이다.

Background: Cigarette smoking and tobacco chewing are common modes of consuming tobacco all over the world. Parents need to be aware that germ cell integrity is vital for birth of healthy offspring as biological parenting begins much before birth of a child and even before conception. The present study was conducted to determine the etiology of non-familial sporadic heritable retinoblastoma (NFSHRb), by evaluating oxidative sperm DNA damage in fathers due to use of tobacco (smoking and chewing). Materials and Methods: We recruited 145 fathers of NFSHRb children and 53 fathers of healthy children (controls) in the study. Tobacco history was obtained by personal interview. Seminal reactive oxygen species (ROS) in semen, sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI) and 8 hydroxy 2' deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) levels in sperm were evaluated. The RB1 gene was screened in genomic blood DNA of parents of children with NFSHRb and controls. Odds ratios (ORs) derived from conditional logistic regression models. Results: There was significant difference in the levels of ROS (p<0.05), DFI (p<0.05) and 8-OHdG (p<0.05) between tobacco users and non-users. The OR of NFSHRb for smokers was 7.29 (95%CI 2.9-34.5, p<0.01), for tobacco chewers 4.75 (2.07-10.9, p<0.05) and for both 9.11 (3.79-39.2; p<0.01). Conclusions: This study emphasizes the adverse effect of tobacco on the paternal genome and how accumulation of oxidative damage in sperm DNA may contribute to the etiology of NFSHRb. In an ongoing parallel study in our laboratory, 11 of fathers who smoked underwent. Meditation and yoga interventions, showed significant decline in levels of highly mutagenic oxidised DNA adducts after 6 months. Thus our lifestyle and social habits impact sperm DNA integrity and simple interventions like yoga and meditation are therapeutic for oxidative damage to sperm DNA.

Two experiments were conducted to compare the feed intake patterns and growth performance of Meishan and Yorkshire growing pigs. Experiment 1 was carried out over a 6-wk period and used 48 barrows with equal numbers of purebred Meishan (M) and Yorkshire (Y). Pigs were allocated to four groups of 12 pigs consisting of equal numbers of M and Y. Initial BW were $36.4{\pm}0.32kg$ and $42.1{\pm}1.41kg$ for M and Y, respectively. Experiment 2 was carried out over a 5-week period and used 48 pigs consisting of equal numbers of both barrows and gilts and of crossbred Meishan$\times$Yorkshire (MY) and purebred Yorkshire (Y) animals. Pigs were allotted to 6 pens of 8 pigs, with 4 single- and 2 mixed-genotype groups (initial $BW=28.5{\pm}0.99kg$). In both experiments, pigs were given ad libitum access to a grower diet (17% crude protein, 0.9% lysine, 3365 kcal/kg ME) via feed intake recording equipment (F.I.R.E.). Pigs carried an ear-tag transponder with an unique identification which allowed the time, duration, and size of individual meals to be recorded. In Exp. 1, Y had higher ADG (721 vs 353 g, p<0.01), daily feed intake (DFI; 2.338 vs 1.363 kg, p<0.01), made more frequent visits to the feeder per day (NFV; 18.5 vs 7.7, p<0.01), had a shorter feeder occupation time per visit (FOV; 7.4 vs 12.9 min, p<0.01), and ate less feed per visit (FIV; 130 vs 177 g, p<0.01) than M pigs. Feed consumption rates (CR) were greater for Y compared to M (19.3 vs 14.8 g/min, p<0.01). Feeder occupation time per day (FOD) was longer for Y than M (114.3 vs 82.8 min/pig, p<0.01). Yorkshire pigs visited the feeder more frequently between 0800 and 1100 h. Meishan pigs showed more frequent feeder visits between 0600 and 0800 h, and between 1600 and 2100 h when feeding competition with Y was reduced. In Exp. 2, there was no effect of genotype or group composition on DFI, ADG or gain:feed ratio. Crossbred pigs (MY) made fewer feeder visits (12.6 vs 17.7, p<0.01), and had greater FIV (124 vs 98 g/visit, p<0.01), and longer FOV (8.11 vs 7.24 min/visit, p<0.01) and FOD (112 vs 100 min, p<0.05) than Y pigs. Results of this study suggest substantial genetic variation in feeding patterns as well as in growth performance.

Simultaneous filling is a goal in plastic injection mold that has multi cavities. The moldings which have not been filled at the same time have undesired faults such as dimension inaccuracy, residual stress, law mechanical strength, etc. The best way to simultaneous fill is to be injected in a geometrically balanced runner system. In a general processing, however, in balanced runner system mold, filling imbalance would be observed in cavities. These phenomena result from molten polymer's characteristics and circumstances in balanced runner. In this study, the degree of filling imbalance (DFI) was defined for showing rate of filling imbalance in geometrically balanced injection mold that has 8 cavities. Before the main experiment, an injection molding simulation was conducted to know a pattern of filling imbalance with Moldflow software. There were somewhat differences between results of experiment and simulation about the filling imbalance. The reason for the difference was that the software have not concerned about a situation in a real flow channel. It was also investigated how the injection speed affected on filling imbalance in the experiment.

To determine whether rearing density affects the hypermelanosis on the blind side (ambicoloration) of olive flounders Paralichthys olivaceus, we reared fry with an unpigmented non-eyed (blind) side in duplicate at densities of 150 individuals/$m^2$ (commercial production density: control) and 450 individuals/$m^2$ (high density group) for 90 days in 1-t dark-green fiberglass reinforced plastics (FRP) tank. We recorded feed intake, feed conversion efficiency (FE), growth and survival, and measured the ratios of staining blind-side area (staining area) and ambicolored fish every 30 days. Daily feed intake (DFI), feed conversion efficiency (FE), growth rate, condition factors, and survival rate were calculated at the end of the experiment. Although the FE was higher in the high-density compared to the control, the two density groups showed similar feed intakes, growth, and survival. The ratio of staining area as well as the ratio of ambicolored fish significantly were significantly higher in the high-density group than in the control from days 30 to 60, but significantly increased and evened out by the end of the experiment (P<0.05). In conclusion, we determined that rearing density is not the main cause of the blind-side hypermelanosis, but found that increasing the rearing density can accelerate the ambicoloration in olive flounders.

Leaf colors of rice can be used to identify stress level due to its adaptation to environmental change. For most leaves green-related colors are sourced from chlorophyll a and b. For most leaves green-related colors are consisted of chlorophyll a and b. Chlorophyll concentration is normally measured using a spectrophotometer in laboratory. In some remote observation fields, it is impossible to collect the leaves, preserve them, and bring them to laboratory to measure their chlorophyll content. The measurement of chlorophyll content is observed through its color. Using CIE chromaticity diagram leaf color information in RGB is transformed into wavelength (in nm). Pheophytin contents were also analyzed in 95% ethanol extracts. In the process of leaf development of rice young seedling, both pigments were compared. Leaf samples from different rice seedling bed is taken, their colors and RGB values are recorded using Photoshop Image Analysis. SPAD-502 values were also measured. The chlorophyll and Pheophytin contents were fully estimated by ${\rightthreetimes}_{avg}$ on CIE chromaticity diagram.

A fully coupled non-linear effective stress response finite difference (FD) model is built to survey the counter-intuitive recent findings on the reliance of pore water pressure ratio on foundation contact pressure. Two alternative design scenarios for a benchmark problem are explored and contrasted in the light of construction emission rates using the EFFC-DFI methodology. A strain-hardening effective stress plasticity model is adopted to simulate the dynamic loading. A combination of input motions, contact pressure, initial vertical total pressure and distance to foundation centreline are employed, as model variables, to further investigate the control of permanent and variable actions on the residual pore pressure ratio. The model is verified against the Ghosh and Madabhushi high acceleration field test database. The outputs of this work are aimed to improve the current computer-aided seismic foundation design that relies on ground's packing state and consistency. The results confirm that on seismic excitation of shallow foundations, the likelihood of effective stress loss is greater in deeper depths and across free field. For the benchmark problem, adopting a shallow foundation system instead of piled foundation benefitted in a 75% less emission rate, a marked proportion of which is owed to reduced materials and haulage carbon cost.

Due to lack of sufficient data on characteristics of breast cancer patients and risk factors for developing metastasis in Iran this study was designed to understand clinical aspects impacting on survival. A cross-sectional study on breast cancer patients was conducted in an oncology clinic of the university hospital between 1995 and 2010. Data were retrieved from medical records and included age, menopausal status, tumor diameter, number of involved nodes, histopathological type, estrogen and progesterone receptor expression, c-erbB-2, primary and secondary metastasis sites, overall survival, disease free interval and type of chemotherapy protocol. The results were analyzed with SPSS 13 software. The mean age of the patients was 49.2 (27-89) years. The primary tumors were mainly ER positive (48%) and PR negative (49.3%). The status of lymph nodes dissected and examined in these patients was unknown in 19 patients (25.3%) while 18 patients (24%) had positive lymph nodes with no report on the number of involved nodes. All of the patients had received antracyclin based chemotherapy in an adjuvant or metastatic setting. Adjuvant hormonal therapy was administered to receptor positive patients. In average, overall survival after recurrence was 30 months (95%CI 24.605-35.325) for non-skeletal versus 42 months (95%CI 31.211-52.789) for skeletal metastasis (P= 0.002). The median survival was also greater for receptor positive patients; 39 months (95%CI 33.716-44.284) for PR+ versus 26 months (95%CI 19.210-32.790) for PR- (P=0.047) and 38 months (95%CI 32.908-43.092) for ER+ versus 27 months (95%CI 18.780-35.220) for ER- patients (P=0.016). No relation was found between site of first metastasis and hormone receptor, age, tumor diameter, DFI and menopausal status. Sites of metastasis were independent of age, size of the tumor, menopausal and hormone receptor status in this study. Overall survival provided significant relations with respect to receptor status and bone metastasis.
