Cystic lesions or progressive cystic changes in adenocarcinoma of the lung have rarely been reported. We report a case of lung adenocarcinoma that progressed from ground-glass opacities (GGOs) and consolidations or nodules to extensive cystic lesions during 12 months in a young adult patient. A 29-year-old male was initially diagnosed with primary lung adenocarcinoma by transbronchial lung biopsy of the right lower lobe and lung to lung metastasis in both lungs according to imaging findings. The initial chest computed tomography (CT) scans showed multifocal GGOs, consolidations, and nodules in both lungs. Despite treatment with palliative chemotherapy, the patient's follow-up CT scans showed multiple, cystic changes in both lungs and that the lesions had progressed more extensively. He died of hypoxic respiratory failure one year after his diagnosis.

Super- and sub-critical water treatments have been of interest as novel methods for protein hydrolysis. In the present study, we studied the effect of sub-critical water (Sub-$H_2O$, $300^{\circ}C$, 80 bar) treatment as well as super-critical water (Super-$H_2O$, $400^{\circ}C$, 280 bar) treatment on the physicochemical properties of porcine skin (PS), which has abundant collagen. Porcine skin was subjected to pre-thermal treatment by immersion in water at $70^{\circ}C$, and then treated with sub- or super-critical water. Physicochemical properties of the hydrolysates, such as molecular weight distribution, free amino acid content, amino acid profile, pH, color, and water content were determined. For the molecular weight distribution analysis, 1 kDa hydrolyzed porcine skin (H-PS) was produced by Super-$H_2O$ or Sub-$H_2O$ treatment. The free amino acid content was 57.18 mM and 30.13 mM after Sub-$H_2O$ and Super-$H_2O$ treatment, respectively. Determination of amino acid profile revealed that the content of Glu (22.5%) and Pro (30%) was higher after Super-$H_2O$ treatment than after Sub-$H_2O$ treatment, whereas the content of Gly (28%) and Ala (13.1%) was higher after Sub-$H_2O$ treatment. Super-$H_2O$ or Sub-$H_2O$ treatment affected the pH of PS, which changed from 7.29 (Raw) to 9.22 (after Sub-$H_2O$ treatment) and 9.49 (after Super-$H_2O$ treatment). Taken together, these results showed that Sub-$H_2O$ treatment was slightly more effective for hydrolysis than Super-$H_2O$ was. However, both Sub-$H_2O$ and Super-$H_2O$ treatments were effective processing methods for hydrolysis of PS collagen in a short time and can be regarded as a green chemistry technology.

This study was conducted to determine the effects of dietary multi-nutritional targeted supplementation according to different growth stages on performance, blood metabolites and carcass characteristics of Korean native Hanwoo steers. Thirty two Hanwoo steers, 6 months of age and weighing $159.2{\pm}24.1\;kg$, were distributed into 2 groups: control group without any supplements, and multi-nutritional targeted supplementation (MNTS) treatment group supplied with wheat bran and catechins (WBC, 8 to 16 months of age), ruminally protected amino acid-enriched fatty acid (RPAFA, 17 to 28 months of age) and ruminally protected choline with vitamin E (RPCV, 22 to 28 months of age), respectively. Average daily gain was not significantly different between the two groups. During the late fattening period, concentrate, rice straw and dry matter intakes were relatively lower in MNTS than in the control group. Rib eye area, back fat thickness and yield index were similar between the two groups. Meat color was relatively lower in MNTS compared with the control group. The appearance rate of high quality grade ($1^{++}$, $1^+$ and 1) tended to be higher in MNTS compared with the control group. Thus, the present results indicate that dietary multi-nutritional targeted supplementation at different growth stages could be recommendable to increase income according to production of high quality Hanwoo beef without any negative effects on growth performance and carcass characteristics.

Thin-film transistors (TFT) have become the key components of electronic and optoelectronic devices. Most conventional thin-film field-effect transistors in display applications use an amorphous or polycrystal Si:H layer as the channel. This silicon layers are opaque in the visible range and severely restrict the amount of light detected by the observer due to its bandgap energy smaller than the visible light. Therefore, Si:H TFT devices reduce the efficiency of light transmittance and brightness. One method to increase the efficiency is to use the transparent oxides for the channel, electrode, and gate insulator. The development of transparent oxides for the components of thin-film field-effect transistors and the room-temperature fabrication with low voltage operations of the devices can offer the flexibility in designing the devices and contribute to the progress of next generation display technologies based on transparent displays and flexible displays. In this thesis, I report on the dc performance of transparent thin-film transistors using amorphous indium tin zinc oxides for an active layer. $SiO_2$ was employed as the gate dielectric oxide. The amorphous indium tin zinc oxides were deposited by RF magnetron sputtering. The carrier concentration of amorphous indium tin zinc oxides was controlled by oxygen pressure in the sputtering ambient. Devices are realized that display a threshold voltage of 4.17V and an on/off ration of ${\sim}10^9$ operated as an n-type enhancement mode with saturation mobility with $15.8\;cm^2/Vs$. In conclusion, the fabrication and characterization of thin-film transistors using amorphous indium tin zinc oxides for an active layer were reported. The devices were fabricated at room temperature by RF magnetron sputtering. The operation of the devices was an n-type enhancement mode with good saturation characteristics.

Kawazoe는 1997년 p-type TOS를 만들기 위해서는 3가지가 충족되어야 한다고 언급한바 있다. 첫 번째, 가시광영역에서 투명하기 위해서 cation의 d10s0이 가득 차야 한다. 가득 차지 않은 d10 shell은 광 흡수가 가능하여 투과도를 떨어뜨린다. N-type을 예로 들어 ZnO, TiO, In2O3가 각각 Zn2+, Ti4+, In3+가 되어 d shell을 가득 차게 만드는 것을 볼 수 있다. 두 번째, cation d10s0 shell은 산소의 2p shell과 overlap 되어야 한다. 이 valence band는 홀 전도를 더욱 좋게 한다. 예를 들어 Cu1+(3d), Ag1+(4d)가 해당한다. 세 번째로, 양이온과 산소간의 공유결합을 강하게 하기 위해서 결정학적 구조는 매우 중요하다. Delafossite 구조는 산소가 pseudo-tetrahedral 구조로서 공유결합에 유리하다. 이러한 환경은 O2- (2p6)을 형성하고 홀의 이동도를 증가시킨다. 예를 들어 Cu2O의 경우 앞의 2가지를 만족시키지만 광학적 특성에서 좋지 않다. 그 이유가 3번째 언급한 결정학적인 요인에 있다. 결정 계의 환경은 Cu2O를 따라가면서 3차원적인 연결을 2차원적으로 변형된 delafossite 구조에서는 quantum well이 형성되어 band gap이 커진다. 본 연구에서는 전기적 이방성을 가지고 있는 delafossite CuCrO2 상에서 우선배향을 일으키는 인자 중 기판을 변화시켜 실험을 진행하였다. 결과적으로 기판변화를 통해 우선배향조절이 가능하였으며 CuCrO2 박막을 시켰으며, 결정방향에 따른 전기적 물성의 이방성에 관한 연구는 계속 진행 중에 있다. c-plane sapphire 기판위에는 [00l]로 성장하는 반면, c-plane STO 기판 위에는 [015] 방향으로 성장하는 것을 확인하였다. 이러한 원인은 기판과 증착되는 박막간의 mismatch를 최소화 하여 strain을 줄이고, 계면에서의 Broken boning 수를 줄여 계면에너지를 낮추는 방법이기 때문일 것으로 예상된다. C-plane sapphire 기판위에 증착될 경우 증착온도가 증가함에 따라 c-축으로의 성장이 온전해지며 이에 따라 캐리어농도의 감소와 모빌리티의 증가가 급격하게 변하는 것을 확인할 수 있다. 반면 c-plane STO 기판에서는 증착온도에 따른 박막의 배향변화가 없으며 전기적 물성 변화 또한 비교적 작은 것을 간접적으로 확인하였다.

The objective of this study was to examine the effect of plasma leptin and insulin concentrations on fat traits in Hanwoo. If a biological indicator such as plasma leptin and insulin was identified, it would be a useful biological marker that can be predicted marbling score in young animal. The relationship between plasma hormone (leptin and insulin) and fat traits (marbling score, back fat thickness and P8 fat thickness) was investigated. The experiment studies 100 Hanwoo that were randomly sampled from Hanwoo Experimental Station Herd. The concentration of plasma insulin was significantly associated with marbling score (P=0.02) but was not significantly with back fat thickness (P=0.07) and P8 fat thickness (P=0.09). Statistical model determinant that plasma insulin concentration account for phenotypes was moderate on marbling score (5%), back fat thickness (3%) and P8 fat thickness (9%). On the other hand, plasma leptin concentration was significantly associated with marbling score (P=0.03) and back fat thickness (P=0.02), but was not significant on P8 fat thickness (0.07). Statistical model determinant that plasma leptin concentration accounting for phenotypes was moderate effect on marbling score (3%) and back fat thickness (2%), but it has a slightly bigger effect on P8 fat thickness (7%). In conclusion, the plasma leptin and insulin seems to have an effect on fat traits (marbling score, backfat thickness and P8 fat thickness) in Hanwoo.

나노입자(nanoparticles)는 그 크기가 피부를 구성하는 세포보다 작다. 따라서 세포막을 통과하고 약물 또는 유전자를 전달하는 매개체로서의 역할에 매우 적합하며 특정 성분을 피부 속에 전달할 수도 있다. 본 연구에서는 쑥으로부터 나노입자를 추출하여 dynamic light scattering (DLS)를 통해 100 nm 전후 크기의 입자를 얻었음을 확인하였고, MTT assay를 통하여 섬유아세포에서 cell viability를 농도 의존적으로 증진시키는 결과를 얻었다. 또한, quantitative real time PCR 분석법을 통해서 COL1A1 mRNA 발현량을 증가시키고 IL-6 mRNA 발현량은 감소시킴을 확인하였다. 세포실험뿐 아니라 화장품 제형에서도 적용 가능하며, 안정함을 확인하였다. 최근 화장품 산업 동향에서 화학 성분을 배제하고 식물 유래 성분 수요가 지속적으로 높아지고 있는 반면, 식물에서 유래된 나노입자의 응용분야를 제시하는 연구 결과가 거의 없다는 한계가 있다. 따라서 현시점에서의 화장품 산업의 한계점을 극복하고자 본 연구를 통해 얻은 결과를 견주어 쑥으로부터 유래된 나노입자를 고기능성 화장품 소재로서 제시하고자 한다.

This study examined the relationships among personality traits, coping efficacy, and academic stress in medical and non-medical students in South Korea, and investigated the mediating effect of coping efficacy in the relationship between personality traits and academic stress. The study group comprised 210 medical students and 175 non-medical students. They were asked to rate their personality traits, coping efficacy, and academic stress. The data were analyzed using IBM SPSS ver. 26.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA) and AMOS ver. 26.0 (IBM Corp.). Medical students scored higher for examination stress and lower for extroversion than non-medical students. In both groups, extroversion and conscientiousness positively affected coping efficacy, while neuroticism influenced it negatively. Neuroticism directly influenced all types of academic stress in both groups, while extroversion and conscientiousness only had direct effects on examination stress among medical students. Coping efficacy mediated the associations between personality traits and academic stress, except for the relationship between neuroticism and grade stress among medical students. The study indicates that coping efficacy had a significant effect on relieving academic stress among students with higher scores for extroversion and conscientiousness. Efforts should be made to decrease neuroticism to lower academic stress, as the relationship between neuroticism and academic stress is not directly influenced by coping efficacy. The implications of these results are discussed regarding a consultation system for students, especially those in medical school.
