  • 오염물질의 노출에 의해 발현이 변화되는 유전자의 발굴은 외부환경 자극에 대한 적응이나 반응의 메커니즘을 알아내는뎨 중요한 정보를 제공하며, 오염물질에 반응하는 유전자는 환경오염을 감지하는 분자 마커로 개발될 수 있다. DD-PCR 기법은 차등 발현 유전자들을 발굴해내기 위한 유용한 방법으로 사용되어 왔고, 본 연구는 이 방법을 이용하여 벤조피렌에 반응하는 조피볼락 유전자들의 발굴을 목적으로 진행되었다. 간조직에서 추출한 RNA로부터 벤조피렌의 노출에 의해 발현 양이 달라진 12개의 클론을 발굴하였고, 그 염기서 열을 분석하였다. 또한 벤조피렌의 노출시간을 각각 6, 12, 24시간으로 달리한 조피볼락에서 12개의 클론 중 4개의 클론에 대해 northern blot 분석이 실시되었으며, 이들 모두 노출시간에 따 라 발현양이 증가 또는 감소하는 것이 확인되었다. 본 연구결과는 오염물질의 영향에 의한 유전자들의 발현에 관한 전반적인 지식을 제공하였고, 나아가 환경오염이나 외부 스트레스를 감지해 낼 수 있는 바이오마커의 개발을 위한 첫 단계로서의 정보를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

  • Purpose: This study was attempted to identify the emotional labor, health promotion behavior, and job satisfaction of emergency room nurses in general hospitals. Basic data were provided on the development of interventions to reduce negative consequences of emotional labor, improve nurse health and improve job satisfaction, and provide effective management of nursing staff. Methods: The study conducted a survey on the use of the survey program of D, N and J, and the research objective was understood by more than 6 months of experience at 8 general hospitals. Results: Nurses' emotional labor and health promotion have been shown to have significant effects on job satisfaction. Factors affecting job satisfaction included health promotion behaviors, emotional labor, and gender, among which emotional labor was affected significantly by a wealth, and health promotion was a significant cause of justice. Conclusion: Job satisfaction will increase if nurses lower their emotional labor and raise the level of practice for health promotion. Therefore, a mediation program is needed to reduce the level of emotional labor of nurses, which can provide an opportunity for them to practice health promotion activities and improve the job satisfaction of nurses.

  • Background: Healthcare workers perform an emotionally exhausting daily work activity, making them prone to occupational hazards, namely psychosocial ones. This study aims to assess the impact of psychosocial risk factors on healthcare workers' mental health. Methods: A cross-sectional study was developed between May and June of 2021 with 479 healthcare workers from Portuguese hospitals. The Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale was used to assess mental health, and psychosocial risks were assessed through the Health and Work Survey - INSAT. Statistical analysis was performed to identify the psychosocial risk factors related to anxiety, depression, and stress. Subsequently, a multiple linear regression was performed to identify the models that better explained psychosocial risk factors' relationship with anxiety, depression, and stress. Results: Data showed a strong exposure to psychosocial risks. Work pace and intensity, work relationships, and emotional demands stood out with higher global average percentages for yes answers to "exposure and discomfort." The analysis of the b values and p-values from the multiple linear regression shows that some cross-sectional psychosocial risks are predictors of anxiety and stress dimensions, and other psychosocial risks differ in the two mental health dimensions. However, it is important to highlight that healthcare workers still showed great joy and pleasure in performing their work activities. Conclusion: Support network development in the work environment is needed to prevent healthcare workers' emotional stress and promote their psychological well-being. Therefore, new research is essential to understand the psychosocial risks that affect healthcare workers and assess the less visible effects of work-health relationships.

  • Oncolytic viruses are characterized by their ability to selectively kill cancer cells, and thus they have potential for application as novel anticancer agents. Despite an increase in the number of studies on methodologies involving oncolytic viruses, bioinformatic studies generating useful data are lacking. We constructed a database for oncolytic virus research (the oncolytic virus database, OVDB) by integrating scattered genetic information on oncolytic viruses and proposed a systematic means of using the biological data in the database. Our database provides data on 14 oncolytic viral strains and other types of viruses for comparative analysis. We constructed the OVDB using the basic local alignment search tool, and therefore can provides genetic information on highly homologous oncolytic viruses. This study contributes to facilitate systematic bioinformatics research, providing valuable data for development of oncolytic virus-based anticancer therapies.

  • In this study, the periodic seismic performance evaluation scheme is proposed using a structural health monitoring system in terms of seismic fragility. An instrumented highway bridge is used to demonstrate the evaluation procedure involving (1) measuring ambient vibration of a bridge under general vehicle loadings, (2) identifying modal parameters from the measured acceleration data by applying output-only modal identification method, (3) updating a preliminary finite element model (obtained from structural design drawings) with the identified modal parameters using real-coded genetic algorithm, (4) analyzing nonlinear response time histories of the structure under earthquake excitations, and finally (5) developing fragility curves represented by a log-normal distribution function using maximum likelihood estimation. It is found that the seismic fragility of a highway bridge can be updated using extracted modal parameters and can also be monitored further by utilizing the instrumented structural health monitoring system.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop an instrument for measuring sexual values of college students. Methods: The data were collected from 308 university students for three months from March 15th to June 15th, 2016. The development of the scale was done in the following order: development of preliminary items; verification of content validity and reliability; factor analysis; and criterion validity of final items. Results: We developed a questionnaire using a five-point Likert-type scale in a self-report form containing 18 items. From the factor analysis, 18 items in three factors were finalized. The 18 items included 3 sub-scales: Cognitive (5 items); Affective (4 items); and Behavioral (9 items). The internal consistency was acceptable (Cronbach's ${\alpha}=.88$). In this study, sexual values were significantly correlated with self-concept (r=.344, p<.001). Conclusion: The results of this study will be useful not only for evaluating sexual values of college students but also for obtaining basic data for sex education. However, we need further studies in order to use the scale in practice and research.
