The pKa values of benzyltetrahydrothiophenium halides 1a-f in water have been estimated by measuring the absorbances of the solution in aqueous hydroxide ion solution. Assuming that the ratios of the activity coefficients remains close to unity, the absorbance of the solution can be expressed as A/[SH]o=(εSH+εS-K[OH-])/(1+K[OH-]), where A, [SH]o, K, εSH, and εS- are the absorbance of solution, the initial concentration of 1a-f, the equilibrium constant, and the extinction coefficients for SH and S-, respectively. The εS- and K values that best fit with this equation were calculated by a nonlinear regression analysis with a large number of absorbance data determined at different [OH-] and [SH]o. The pKa values of the SH were then calculated with the relationship Ka=-log K+14. The validity of this method has been demonstrated by the excellent agreements between the experimental and literature pKa values of three organic acids. The pKa values of 1a-f estimated by this method are in the range of 12.5-15.3 and correlate well with the Hammett equation. The large negative deviation for the pKa values of 1e and 1f from the Hammett plot has been attributed to the extra hydrogen bonding between the phenyl group and water molecules attracted by the hydrophilic substituents.

Changes in various physicochemical and sensory characteristics of Samgyetang retorted at the $F_0$ values of 4.0 (F4), 7.0 (F7), and 10.0 (F10) were investigated during storage at $25^{\circ}C$ for 12 months. The pH level tended to decrease in all the treatments with the increase of the storage time, but no significant difference in the extent of the decrease was observed among the treatments. The values of volatile basic nitrogen, thiobarbituric reactive substances, and carbonyl contents increased rapidly over the storage period in the order of F4 > F7 > F10. The viscosity decreased most sharply between month 0 and month 2, after which the rate of increase declined. The oxygen concentration in the headspace of the retort pouch of the Samgyetang was higher for the samples retorted at higher $F_0$ values. In the sensory tests, the scores of the samples retorted at higher $F_0$ values tended to be lower, but all the characteristics of the samples, except for the texture of the T10 samples, were evaluated with scores higher than 5.0, the limit of marketability, over the storage time. In conclusion, the quality of the Samgyetang samples treated at higher $F_0$ values deteriorated more noticeably during storage.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the immune response to serotype 19A in children aged 12-23 months after immunization of the 19F containing 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV7). Methods: Blood samples from a total of 45 subjects (age 12-23 months) were included in the study. Subjects were categorized according to immunization status into three groups as follows: 18 subjects with 3 primary doses and 1 booster dose of PCV7 (booster group), 21 subjects with 3 primary doses before 12 months of age (primary group), and 6 subjects with no vaccination history of PCV7 (control group). An ELISA and opsonophagocytic killing assay (OPKA) was done to evaluate the immune responses against serotypes 19F and 19A. Results: According to the ELISA, all subjects had antibody titers ${\geq}0.35{\mu}g/mL$ for serotypes 19F and 19A in the booster and primary group and 83.0% and 66.7% in the control group, respectively. According to the OPKA, subjects with opsonic activity (${\geq}20$) against serotypes 19F and 19A were 100% and 61.1% of the subjects in the booster group and 66.7% and 19.0% in the primary group, respectively. No subjects in the control group had opsonic antibodies against both serotypes. Conclusion: In conclusion, in children 12-23 months age who were previously vaccinated with PCV7, a cross-reactive immune response is elicited against serotype 19A after a primary series of 3 doses in a small proportion of subjects, and this response is amplified after booster vaccination.

Objectives: As a preliminary study on the prevalence of mental disorders in Korean children and adolescents, we investigated the diagnosis distribution of mental disorders in people under 19 years of age using the health insurance data. Methods: From the 2011 health insurance data of 1,375,842 people, the data of 286,465 people under 19 years old were extracted. Among them, we selected 10,778 with psychiatric diagnoses; male 6,453 (59.9%) and female 4,325 (40.1%). The frequency of psychiatric diagnoses in the males was 10,140 (62.7%) cases, which was significantly higher than that (6,031; 37.3%) in the females. We categorized the groups into 3 year intervals. Results: In the males under 3 years old, F80 was the most prevalent diagnosis, followed by F98. F90 and F41 were the most prevalent in the 4-15 and above 16 years old groups, respectively. In the females, F98 was the most prevalent in the children up to 3 years old, while F80 was the second most prevalent. In the 4-6 years of age group, F98 was the most prevalent, followed by F93. F90 and F41 were predominant in the 7-12 and above 12 years old groups, respectively. Conclusion: In the analysis of the frequency of diagnosis of mental disorders in the population under 19 years old, there were significant differences in the distribution based on age and gender.

The microscopic relaxation parameters for the single crystal were measured by using thermally stimulated depolarization (TSD). Initial rise method, various heating rate method and total glow peak method were used for the determination of the activation energy and Debye relaxation time from TSD glow curves. Activation energy, pre-exponential factor and relaxation time for impurity-vacancy dipole reorientation were 0.55eV, 1.97$\times$10 super(-12) sec and 12.19sec in average, respectively. Dielectric dissipation factor for the crystal was calculated from the measured TSD glow curve, its value being about 3$\times$10 super(-2).

1. Purpose : This study is to present effective exposure conditions to acquire the best image of simple abdomen in Film Screen (F.S) system and Computed Radiography (C.R) system. 2. Method : In the F.S system, while an exposure condition was fixed as 70kVp, images of a patients simple abdomen were taken under the different mAs exposure conditions. Among these images, the best one was chosen by radiologists and radiological technologists. In the C.R system, the best image of the same patient was acquired with the same method from the F.S system. Both characteristic curves from F.S system and C.R system were analyzed. 3. Results : In the F.S system, the best exposure condition of simple abdomen was 70kVp and 20mAs. In the CR system, with the fixed condition at 70kVp, the image densities of human organs, such as liver, kidney, spleen, psoas muscle, lumbar spine body and iliac crest, were almost same despite different environments (3.2mAs, 8mAs, 12mAs, 16mAs and 20mAs). However, when the exposure conditions were over or under (below) 12mAs, the images between the abdominal wall and the directly exposed part became blurred because the gap of density was decreased. In the C.R system, while the volume of mAs was decreased, an artifact of quantum mottle was increased. 4. Conclusion : This study shows that the exposure condition in the C.R system can be reduced 40% than in the F.S system. This paper concluded that when the exposure conditions are set in CR environment, after the analysis of equipment character, such as image processing system(EDR : Exposure Data Recognition processing), PACS and so on, the high quality of image with maximum information can be acquired with a minimum exposure dose.

Let $C(F, M)$ and $C(S^{-1}F, S^{-1}M)$ be Cousin complexes for a modula M and a module $S^{-1}M$ over a commutative Noetherian ring with respect to a filtration F and a filtration $S^{-1}F$ respectively. In this paper, it is shown that there is an isomorphism between the Cousin complexes $S^{-1}C(F, M)$ and $C(S^{-1}F, S^{-1}M)$.

Regions of allelic loss on chromosomes in many tumors of human and some experimental animals are generally considered to harbor tumor-suppressor genes involved in tumorigenesis. Allelotype analyses have greatly improved our under-standing of the molecular mechanism of radiation lymphomagenesis. Previously, we and others found frequent loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on chromosomes 4, 11, 12, 16 and 19 in radiation-induced lymphomas from several $F_1$, hybrid mice. To examine possible contributions of individual tumor-suppressor genes to tumorigenesis in p53 heterozygous deficiency, we investigated the genome-wide distribution and status of LOH in radiation-induced lymphomas from $F_1$ mice with different p53 status. In this study, we found frequent LOH (more than 20%) on chromosomes 4 and 12 and on chromosomes 11, 12, 16 and 19 in radiation-induced lymphomas from $(STS/A{\times}MSM/Ms)F_1$ mice and $(STS/A{\times}MSM/Ms)F_1-p53^{KO/+}$ mice, respectively. Low incidences of LOH (10-20%) were also observed on chromosomes 11 in mice with wild-type p53, and chromosomes 1, 2, 9, 17 and X in p53 heterozygous-deficient mice. The frequency of LOH on chromosomes 9 and 11 increased in the $(STS/A{\times}MSM/Ms)F_1-p53^{KO/+}$ mice. Preferential losses of the STS-derived allele on chromosome 9 and wild-type p53 allele on chromosome 11 were also found in the p53 heterozygous-deficient mice. Thus, the putative tumor-suppressor gene regions responsible for lymphomagenesis might considerably differ due to the p53 status.

Soybean is a major source of protein meal in the world. Kunitz trypsin inhibitor (KTI) protein is responsible for the inferior nutritional quality of unheated or incompletely heated soybean meal. The objective of this research was to identify RAPD markers linked to KTI protein allele using bulked segregant analysis. Cultivar Jinpumkong2 (TiTi) was crossed with C242 (titi, absence of KTI protein) and F. seeds were planted. The $F_1$. plants were grown in the greenhouse to produce $F_2$ seeds. Each $F_2$ seed from $F_1$. plants was analysed electrophoretically to determine the presence of the KTI protein band. The present and absent bulks contained twenty individuals each, which were selected on the basis of the KTI protein electrophoresis, respectively. Total 94 $F_2$ individuals were constructed and 1,000 Operon random primers were used to identify RAPD primers linked to the Ti locus. The presence of KTI protein is dominant to the lack of a KTI protein and Kunitz trypsin inhibit protein band is controlled by a single locus. Four RAPD primers (OPAC12, OPAR15, OPO12, and OPC08) were linked to the Ti locus. RAPD primer OPO12 was linked to Ti locus, controlling kunitz trypsin inhibitor protein at a distance of 16.0 cM. This results may assist in study of developing fine map including Ti locus in soybean.
