  • Korean ginseng is a medicinally important perennial herb from the family Araliaceae. It has been cultivated for its highly valued medicinal properties for over 1,000 years in east Asian countries such as China, Korea, and Japan. Due to its longtime cultivation in shady areas, ginseng is frequently exposed to pathogenic infections. Plants protect themselves from microbial pathogens using an array of defense mechanisms, some of which are constitutively active, while others are activated upon pathogen invasion. These induced defense responses, controlled by defense-related genes, require tradeoffs in terms of plant fitness. We hypothesize that ginseng, as with other plants, possesses regulatory mechanisms that coordinate the activation of attacker-specific defenses in order to minimize fitness costs while attaining optimal resistance. Several classes of defense-related genes are induced by infection, wounds, irradiation, and other abiotic stresses. Both salicylates and jasmonates have been shown to cause such responses, although their specific roles and interactions in signaling and development are not fully understood in ginseng. This review summarizes possible defense-related genes in ginseng based on their expression patterns against biotic and abiotic stresses and describes their functional roles.

  • In this study, a tissue-specific GAL4/UAS activation tagging system was used for the characterization of genes which could induce lethality when ubiquitously expressed. A dominant mutant exhibiting stunted growth was isolated and named defective root development 1-D (drd1-D). The T-DNA tag was located within the promoter region of AtTX12, which is predicted to encode a truncated nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) protein, containing a Toll/interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) domain. The transcript levels of AtTX12 and defense-related genes were elevated in drd1-D, and the misexpression of AtTX12 recapitulated the drd1-D phenotypes. In the presence of ENHANCED DISEASE SUSCEPTIBILITY 1 (EDS1), a key transducer of signals triggered by TIR-type NLRs, a low-level of AtTX12 misexpression induced strong defective phenotypes including seedling lethality whereas, in the absence of EDS1, a high-level of AtTX12 misexpression induced weak growth defects like dwarfism, suggesting that AtTX12 might function mainly in an EDS1-dependent and partially in an EDS1-independent manner.

  • The features of seizure-related brain injuries in rats poisoned i.p. with diisopropylfiuorophosphate were investigated. Pyridostigmine bromide (0.1 mg/kg) and atropine methylnitrate (20 mg/kg), which are centrally inactive, were pretreated i.m. 30 min and 10 min, respectively. before diisopropylfluorophosphate (10 mg /kg, $2LD_50$) poisoning to reduce the mortality and eliminate peripheral signs. Diisopropylfluorophosphate induced severe limbic seizures, and early necrotic and delayed apoptotic brain injuries. The necrotic brain injury, which was closely related to seizure intensity, was exerted as early as 1 hr predominently in hippocampus and piriform cortex. showing spongiform change (malacia) of neurophils in severe cases, in contrast to a typical apoptotic (TUNEL-positive)pattern after 12 hr in thalamus, and a mixed type in amygdala. Nitric oxide content in cerebrospinal fiuid significantly increased after 2 hr, reaching a maximal level at 6 hr. Pretreatment with $_L-N^G$-nitroarginine, an inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase, reduced nitric oxide content and attenuated only apoptotic brain injury in all four brain regions examined without affecting seizure intensity and necrotic injury. Taken together, early necrotic and delayed apoptotic brain injuries induced by diisopropylfiuorophosphate poisoning in rats may be related to seizure intensity and nitric oxide production, respectively.

  • 군(軍)에서 방위력개선사업(이하 방위사업)은 매우 투명하고 효율적으로 이루어져야 함에도, 방위사업 관련 법 및 규정의 과도한 다양화로 많은 실무자들이 원활한 방위사업 추진에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 한편, 방위사업 관련 실무자들이 각종 문서에서 다루는 법령 문장은 문장 내에서 표현 하나만 잘못되더라도 심각한 문제를 유발하는 특징을 가지고 있으나, 이를 실시간으로 바로잡기 위한 문장 비교 시스템 구축에 대한 노력은 미미했다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 Siamese Network 기반의 자연어 처리(NLP) 분야 인공 신경망 모델을 이용하여 군(軍)의 방위사업 관련 문서에서 등장할 가능성이 높은 문장과 이와 관련된 법령 조항의 유사도를 비교하여 위법 위험 여부를 판단·분류하고, 그 결과를 사용자에게 인지시켜 주는 '군(軍) 보고서 등장 문장과 관련 법령 간 비교 시스템' 구축 방안을 제안하려고 한다. 직접 제작한 데이터 셋인 모(母)문장(실제 법령에 등장하는 문장)과 자(子)문장(모(母)문장에서 파생시킨 변형 문장) 3,442쌍을 사용하여 다양한 인공 신경망 모델(Bi-LSTM, Self-Attention, D_Bi-LSTM)을 학습시켰으며 1 : 1 문장 유사도 비교 실험을 통해 성능 평가를 수행한 결과, 상당히 높은 정확도로 자(子)문장의 모(母)문장 대비 위법 위험 여부를 분류할 수 있었다. 또한, 모델 학습에 사용한 자(子)문장 데이터는 법령 문장을 일정 규칙에 따라 변형한 형태이기 때문에 모(母)·자(子)문장 데이터만으로 학습시킨 모델이 실제 군(軍) 보고서에 등장하는 문장을 효과적으로 분류한다고 판단하기에는 제한된다는 단점을 보완하기 위해, 실제 군(軍) 보고서에 등장하는 형태에 보다 더 가깝고 모(母)문장과 연관된 새로운 문장 120문장을 추가로 작성하여 모델의 성능을 평가해본 결과, 모(母)·자(子)문장 데이터만으로 학습시킨 모델로도 일정 수준 이상의 성능을 확인 할 수 있었다. 결과적으로 본 연구를 통해 방위사업 관련 군(軍) 보고서에서 등장하는 여러 특정 문장들이 각각 어느 관련 법령의 어느 조항과 가장 유사한지 살펴보고, 해당 조항과의 유사도 비교를 통해 위법 위험 여부를 판단하는 '실시간 군(軍) 문서와 관련 법령 간 자동화 비교 시스템'의 구축 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.

  • The aim of this article was to review age-dependent clinical recommendations for appropriate root canal instrumentation techniques. A comprehensive narrative review of canal morphology, the structural characteristics of dentin, and endodontic outcomes at different ages was undertaken instead of a systematic review. An electronic literature search was carried out, including the Medline (Ovid), PubMed, and Web of Science databases. The searches used controlled vocabulary and free-text terms, as follows: 'age-related root canal treatment,' 'age-related instrumentation,' 'age-related chemo-mechanical preparation,' 'age-related endodontic clinical recommendations,' 'root canal instrumentation at different ages,' 'geriatric root canal treatment,' and 'pediatric root canal treatment.' Due to the lack of literature with practical age-based clinical recommendations for an appropriate root canal instrumentation technique, a narrative review was conducted to suggest a clinical algorithm for choosing the most appropriate instrumentation technique during root canal treatment. Based on the evidence found through the narrative review, an age-related clinical algorithm for choosing appropriate instrumentation during root canal treatment was proposed. Age affects the morphology of the root canal system and the structural characteristics of dentin. The clinician's awareness of root canal morphology and dentin characteristics can influence the choice of instruments for root canal treatment.

  • The well-known sentence, "You can't manage what you don't measure" suggests the importance of measurement. The Ministry of National Defense (MND) in Korea is measuring the effort of informatization for various dimensions such as validity, adequacy, and effectiveness using the MND evaluation system to obtain positive and significant effects from informatization. MND views the defense informatization domain as divided into the defense informatization policy, the defense informatization project, and the defense informatization level, which can measure the informatization capability of the MND and the armed forces or organizations. Furthermore, it feels there is some limitation, such as those related to ambiguity and reliability, present in the system. To overcome the limitations in the existing system to evaluate the defense informatization policy, this study proposes a revised evaluation framework for the policy of defense informatization, its indicators, and measurement methods.
