  • Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the perception difference between Korean Medicine doctors, Western Medicine doctors, and functional dyspepsia (FD) patients on the 'Collaborative and Integrated Medicine (CIM)' for FD management. Methods: Between February and April 2021, 545 Korean Medicine doctors, 121 Western Medicine doctors, and 186 FD patients were invited to participate in this survey. A questionnaire was developed by both the Korean and Western Medicine doctors and consisted of questions about general perceptions of FD and perceptions of CIM for FD. Results: Responses from 424 Korean Medicine doctors, 113 Western Medicine doctors, and 153 FD patients were analyzed for the CIM of FD. Significant perceptional differences were noted between Korean Medicine doctors, Western Medicine doctors, and FD patients on the CIM for FD, including necessity, effectiveness, safety, cost, and reliability of CIM for the management of FD (p<0.001). The FD patients also more strongly supported the necessity of developing CIM for FD than did the Korean and Western Medicine doctors (p<0.001), and 87.6% of the FD patients strongly agreed or agreed with the use of CIM for FD. Conclusions: A significant perception difference was detected between Korean Medicine doctors, Western Medicine doctors, and FD patients regarding the use of CIM for FD. Patients with FD favored the necessity and were more willing to accept CIM for FD than were the doctors. Therefore, more efforts may be warranted for doctors to promote CIM for FD.

  • It was many differances to evaluate of the effect of excipients on colour fading in FD & C Yellow No.5 by use Tintometer and nearly is not effective in FD & C Red No. 2. When we observed colour fading in suger coating formulations by tintometer, FD & C Red No.2 was appeared to follow zero order reaction and FD & C Yellow No. 5 was not follow zero order reaction or first order reaction. Also, we could know the tendency of colour fading by visible spectrum, but it was net suitable method for this experiment more than by tintometer. The relative colour fading effect of the surfactants(Polysorbate) was as follows: Tween 60> Tween 80> Tween 20. In addition to, Benzalkonium chloride was reacted with FD & C Yellow No.5, so the stronger colour was appeared. On the other hand, the weaker colour was appeared in FD & C Red No.2. While, the sunscreening agents was not almost effective in colour fading of FD & Yellow No. 5 and FD & C Red No. 2.

  • Dandelions were fermented for 120 days at $15-20^{\circ}C$ in batches containing thirty and fifty percent raw sugar (FD30 and FD50). The total phenolic concentration of FD30 and FD50 were about $78.9{\pm}2.17$ and $59.35{\pm}2.56$ mg/g, respectively, both being higher than the 2$54.{\pm}1.49$ mg/g determined for DWE (dandelion water extract). The DPPH radical scavenging activity of FD30 and FD50 showed $IC_{50}$ values of $118.7{\pm}2.03$ and $123.40{\pm}2.15{\mu}g/mL$, respectively, and FD30 displayed the highest antioxidant activity. 2 mg/mL of FD30 and FD50 showed $8.8{\pm}1.72$ and $11.8{\pm}2.87{\mu}M$ production of NO, respectively, compared with $4.9{\pm}1.20{\mu}M$ of the dandelion extract. The protease, ${\alpha}$-amylase, and lipase activity of FD50 was the highest. The fibrinolytic activity of FD30 and FD50 were $0.56{\pm}0.28$ and $1.39{\pm}0.20$ unit/mg protein, respectively, which was substantially higher than the 0.28 unit/mg protein of DWE. In conclusion, the dandelions fermented by sugar showed improved antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and enzymatic activities.

  • In this paper, a wireless powered communication network (WPCN) consisting of a hybrid access point (H-AP) and multiple user equipment (UE), all of which operate in full-duplex (FD), is described. We first propose a transceiver structure that enables FD operation of each UE to simultaneously receive energy in the downlink (DL) and transmit information in the uplink (UL). We then provide an energy usage model in the proposed UE transceiver that accounts for the energy leakage from the transmit chain to the receive chain. It is shown that the throughput of an FD WPCN using the proposed FD UE (FD-WPCN-FD) can be maximized by optimal allocation of the UL transmission time to the UE by solving a convex optimization problem. Simulation results reveal that the use of the proposed FD UE efficiently improves the throughput of a WPCN with a practical self-interference cancellation capability at the H-AP. Compared to the WPCN with FD H-AP and half-duplex (HD) UE, FD-WPCN-FD achieved an 18% throughput gain. In addition, the throughput of FD-WPCN-FD was shown to be 25% greater than that of WPCN in which an H-AP and UE operated in HD.

  • Objective: This study was designed to identify and explore the pathological patterns of functional dyspepsia (FD) patients. We also evaluated the usefulness of the Pattern Identification Questionnaire by comparing it with other assessment tools for FD. Methods: We recruited 97 FD patients based on the Rome III criteria for FD diagnosis. The pathological patterns of the subjects were determined by the Pattern Identification Questionnaire. Their dyspepsia-related symptoms were assessed using the Gastrointestinal Symptom Questionnaire (GIS) and the Pyeongwi-san (Pingwei-san) Patternization Questionnaire. Depressive symptoms were evaluated with the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and quality of life with the Functional Dyspepsia-Related Quality of Life (FD-QoL) Questionnaire. Tongue coating was measured by the Digital Tongue Diagnosis System (DTDS). Results: The male to female ratio was 1:1.1, and the forties and fifties age groups were largest in number. The spleen deficiency and phlegm-dampness pattern was the most common pattern found among the FD patients. No significant differences in the GIS, BDI, FD-QoL, and DTDS scores were found among the five pattern types. All pattern types showed significant correlation with GIS, Pyeongwi-san Patternization Questionnaire, and FD-QoL scores. Conclusions: Pattern Identification Questionnaire can not only identify the pathological pattern types of FD patients but also evaluate the severity of their symptoms. Compared to conventional assessment tools for FD, it could enable a more dynamic evaluation of FD patients reflecting the severity of dyspeptic symptoms and the quality of life. Further studies on the Pattern Identification of FD patients are anticipated in order to improve the diagnosis and therapy for Korean FD patients.

  • We study the structure of rings whose factor rings modulo nonzero proper ideals are right duo; such rings are called right FD. We first see that this new ring property is not left-right symmetric. We prove for a non-prime right FD ring R that R is a subdirect product of subdirectly irreducible right FD rings; and that R/N∗(R) is a subdirect product of right duo domains, and R/J(R) is a subdirect product of division rings, where N∗(R) (J(R)) is the prime (Jacobson) radical of R. We study the relation among right FD rings, division rings, commutative rings, right duo rings and simple rings, in relation to matrix rings, polynomial rings and direct products. We prove that if a ring R is right FD and 0 ≠ e2 = e ∈ R then eRe is also right FD, examining that the class of right FD rings is not closed under subrings.

  • Purpose: Fibrous dysplasia (FD) is a fibro-osseous disease associated with activating missense mutations of the gene encoding the $\alpha$-subunit of stimulatory G protein. FD may affect a single bone (called monostotic form) or multiple bones (called polyostotic form). The extent of lesions reflects the onset time of mutation. In this study, cells from monostotic FD in maxilla of a patient were isolated and cultured in vitro for characterization. Materials and Methods: The single cells were released from FD lesion which was surgical specimen from 15 years-old boy. These isolated cells were cultured in vitro and tested their proliferation activity with MTT assay. In osteogenic media, these cells underwent differentiation process comparing with its normal counterpart i.e. bone marrow stromal cells. The proliferated FD cells were detached and transplanted into the dordsal pocket of nude mouse and harvested in 6 weeks and 12 weeks. Results and Summary: FD cells have an increased proliferation rate and poor differentiation. As a result, cells isolated from FD lesion decreased differentiation into osteoblast and increased proliferation capacity. MTT assay presented that proliferation rate of FD cells were higher than control. However, the mineral induction capacity of FD was lesser than that of control. Monostotic FD cells make fewer amounts of bone ossicles and most of them are woven bone rather than lamellar bone in vivo transplantation. In transplanted FD cells, hematopoietic marrow were not seen in the marrow space and filled with the organized fibrous tissue. Therefore, they were recapitulated to the original histological features of FD lesion. Collectively, these results indicated that the FD cells were shown that the increased proliferation and decreased differentiation potential. These in vitro and in vivo system can be useful to test FD cell's fate and possible.

  • Scale induced by hardness materials in water must be controled because of it can be result in remarkable damages of pipeline as well as water quality deterioration. Especially hot water system is one of scale management required facility as scale formation can be accelerated by temperature. The scale control performance of frequency driver (FD) was tested instead of existing methods such as chemical, physical and electromagnetic methods which needs chemicals and electric power. Three kinds of pipe coupons were submerged in test water with 500 mg/L of hardness for 33 days and XRD and SEM were analysed for comparing scale formation characteristics of these coupons. Calcite ($CaCO_3$) which came from hardness of water was formed on only cast iron pipe coupon and this coupon showed higher corrosion rate than copper and stainless steel pipe coupon. Hot water circulating system connected cast iron pipe with and without FD was operated with 300 mg/L of hardness water at $50^{\circ}C$ for monitoring of scale formation and water quality with and without FD. XRD showed that FD leaded to magnetite ($Fe_3O_4$) scale which is good scale for preventing corrosion than calcite and SEM image also indicated the scale control effect of FD. Scales of 16% on pipe joint, 14% on pipe length, and 42% on heat exchanger decreased with FD comparing scales of those parts without FD. From the results of water quality, FD reduced crystallization of hardness material without chemical reaction in water and it can indicate that FD is safe and proenvironmental technology for scale reduction.

  • In order to prepare kimchi tablet(K7), the kimchi was fermented with crushed materials and lactic acid bacterial starter. The effect of raying methods (hot air-drying : HAD, freeze drying: FD), moulding pressure (100, 150 and 200 kg/cm2) and moulding time (0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 min) of kimchi tablet on residual solid, characteristics of filtrate, color, textual properties, hygroscopicity and sensory quality were investigated. No great difference showed in residual solid of the tablet prepared with freeze dried kimchi (FD-KT), but the tablet prepared with hot air-dried kimchi (HAD-KT) decreased markedly with an increase in moulding pressure. Residual solid of FD-KT was lower than that of HAD-KT. The pH and redness for HAD-KT and FD-KT were similar. Total sugar. acidity and lightness of FD-KT as compared with HAD-KT were higher, while higher max, yield, strength and hardness were found for HAD-KT. Color, tactile, flavor, chewing taste, acceptability and hygroscopicity of FD-KT were generally higher than those of HAD-KT. Hygroscopicity of HAD-KT decreased with an increase in moulding pressure in md time, but that of FD-KT increased. Overall qualities of FD-KT and HAD-KT showed best in 200 kg/㎠ of moulding pressure, 3min of moulding time.
