Purpose: To investigate the clinical value in lung cancer of a combination of four serum tumor markers, haptoglobin (Hp), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), neuron specific enolase (NSE) as well as the cytokeratin 19 fragment (CYFRA21-1). Materials and Methods: Serum Hp (with immune-turbidimetric method), CEA, NSE, CYFRA21-1 (with chemiluminescence method) level were assessed in 193 patients with lung cancer, 87 patients with benign lung disease and 150 healthy controls. Differences of expression were compared among groups, and joint effects of these tumor markers for the diagnosis of lung cancer were analyzed. Results: Serum tumor marker levels in patients with lung cancer were obviously higher than those with benign lung disease and normal controls (p<0.01). The sensitivities of Hp, CEA, NSE and CYFRA21-1 were 43.5%, 40.9%, 23.3% and 41.5%, with specificities of 90.7%, 99.2%, 97.9% and 97.9%. Four tumor markers combined together could produce a positive detection rate of 85.0%, significantly higher than that of any single test. With squamous carcinomas, the positive detection rates with Hp and CYFRA21-1 were higher than that of other markers. In the adenocarcinoma case, the positive detection rate of CEA was higher than that of other markers. For small cell carcinomas, the positive detection rate of NSE was highest. The area under receiver operating characteristic curve ($AUC^{ROC}$) of Hp in squamous carcinoma (0.805) was higher than in adenocarcinoma (0.664) and small cell carcinoma (0.665). Conclusions: Hp can be used as a new serum tumor marker for lung cancer. Combination detection of Hp, CEA, NSE and CYFRA21-1 could significantly improve the sensitivity and specificity in diagnosis of lung cancer, and could be useful for pathological typing.

Objective: To test the microRNA-181c (miR-181c) expression in tissues and plasma of gastric cancer (GC) cases, analyze any correlations, and explore the possibility of miR-181c as a potential molecular marker for GC diagnosis. Materials and Methods: Relative miR-181c expression levels in cancers and plasma from 30 GC patients was tested using reverse transcription-real-time fluorescent quantitation PCR and compared to that in samples from 30 gastric ulcer and 30 chronic gastritis patients. Results: The miR-181c expression level in the GC tissues was significantly higher than that in the gastric ulcer and chronic gastritis tissues (P = 0.000), as was the miR-181c expression level in the GC plasma (P = 0.000). We determined that miR-181c expression in GC plasma was positively correlated to its expression in the GC tissues (P = 0.000). Conclusions: The expression of miR-181c is upregulated in GC tissues and plasma, and the miR-181c expression level in GC plasma is positively correlated to that in the corresponding cancer tissues. Plasma miR-181c is possibly a new serological marker for GC diagnosis.

This paper introduces a new hull form design method for the bow of a full ship, by actively applying the relation between the fore-body hull form and its wave resistance characteristics. For the hull form design, the Series 60($C_B=0.8$) hull is chosen as the parent ship, and Kracht's charts are used to determine the parameters of the bulbous bow in the early stages of hull form design. Several hull forms have been tested in order to obtain enough hull form variations with various bow shapes and design parameters in the search of the best design. In order to investigate the resistance characteristics of the designed hull forms, numerical simulations with corresponding model tests have been rigorously performed. For the numerical simulations, the Marker-density method is employed to track the nonlinear phenomena of the free surface(program IUBW). Model tests have also been performed to achieve an improved research performance using the designed hulls. Both numerical and experimental results show that the wave resistance of the hull forms can be effectively diminished if the bows are designed using the method introduced in this research. It is also expected that this research can facilitate better productivity in hull form design, especially at the preliminary design stage of a full ship type vessel.

대학 1학년 산업디자인 교과과정 내용에서 기초 표현과정과 표현방법을 실기시간에 효과적으로 표현전개하기 위해 한 학기동안의 강의내용을 기준으로 연구하였다. 신입생들의 실기표현은 대학입학 실기 시험에 대한 개념을 갖고 있으므로 대학 교과과정에서 적응을 위한 수정이 필요하다. 다시 말해, 대학 1학년에서 표현에 관한 과목은 학생들이 입시기간에 장시간 연습해온 표현방식에 젖어 있으므로, 창의적인 아이디어 발상과 전개를 위해서는 새로운 개념의 주입이 필요하다. 이를 바탕으로 이번 연구에서는 학생들의 표현 실기수업의 반응에 따라 실기내용을 일부 수정하였고, 거기에 따른 효과를 설문지로 측정해 보았다. 표현 재료는 4B연필, 마카, 파스텔, 색연필 등을 사용하여 조사하였고, 표현도구에 대해서도 학생들의 반응을 조사하였다. 그리하여 창의적인 발상을 주로 하는 디자인교육에서는 표현실기에서 이미 표현된 내용을 답습하는 것보다는 사물을 보고 표현 하든가 또는 자신이 구상한 Idea를 표현하도록 하는 것이 효과적이며, 표현도구에 대해서는 도구의 사용법에 대한 충분한 이해와 많은 기초 연습과정을 갖도록 하는 것이 바람직하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 기초과정이지만 Idea의 발상표현을 실기시간에 연습하여 창의적인 발상을 전제로 표현하는 것이, 처음의 효과가 즉시 나타나지 않지만 궁극적으로는 바람직함을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 앞으로는 컴퓨터 통신을 통한 새로운 교육과정이 표현실기부분에서 그 가능성을 제안하였다.

A total of 420 day-old male Ross chicks were weighed at d 1 of life and assigned to test diets to assess the efficacy of a new Buttiauxella spp. phytase expressed in Trichoderma reesei. Diets were: positive control (PC) adequate in nutrients and negative control (NC) diet (40% and 17% less available phosphorous (P) and calcium (Ca), respectively) supplemented with 6 levels of phytase 0, 250, 500, 750, 1,000, and 2,000 phytase units (FTU)/kg of diet. All diets had titanium dioxide as digestibility marker and each diet was allocated to ten cages (6 birds/cage). Diets were fed for 3 wk to measure growth performance, apparent retention (AR) on d 17 to 21 and bone ash and ileal digestibility (AID) on d 22. Growth performance and nutrient utilization was lower (p<0.05) for NC vs PC birds. Phytase response in NC birds was linear (p<0.05) with 2,000 FTU showing the greatest improvement on body weight gain (20%), feed conversion (7.4%), tibia ash (18%), AR of Ca (38%), AR of P (51%) and apparent metabolizable energy corrected for nitrogen (5.1%) relative to NC. Furthermore, phytase at ${\geq}750FTU$ resulted in AID of total AA commensurate to that of PC fed birds and at ${\geq}1,000FTU$ improved (p<0.05) AR of P, dry matter, and N beyond that of the lower doses of phytase and PC diet. In conclusion, the result from this study showed that in addition to increased P and Ca utilization, the new Buttiauxella phytase enhanced growth performance and utilization of other nutrients in broiler chickens in a dose-dependent manner.

A traditional wheat breeding program needs more than 12-13 years to develop a new cultivar. In recent years, 'Speed breeding (SB)' system, which uses extremely extended photoperiod (22 h), enabled up to 4-6 generations of spring wheat per year. However, since almost 70% of wheat cultivars are winter type, and over 95% of total cultivation area is for winter wheat in Korea, optimized vernalization treatment was essential for improving the SB system. Several vernalization temperatures and durations were tested with various genotypes, and the 4 weeks of 8-10 ℃ vernalization treatment was the most effective to develop 4 generations per year, for both spring and winter type wheat cultivars. This 'Speed vernalization (SV)' system followed by SB, allowed developing a new F₆ recombinant inbred lines (RILs) within 2 years. Among the 184 RILs, which derived from a cross between Jokoyung and Joongmo2008, two outstanding lines were selected for yield trial test, and then named Milyang52 and Milyang53. Compared to the traditional wheat breeding program, over 60% of the time was saved to develop these two lines. Marker-assisted selection and backcross were also combined with the SV system. YW3215-2B-1 (Jokoyung*3/Gamet), which has similar agronomic traits with Jokyoung and the same Glu-B1 allele with Garnet, was developed within 2.5 years. Thus, the SV system combined with molecular breeding technology would help breeders to make a new cultivar with less time and high efficiency.

Mucolipidosis (ML) II/III are autosomal recessive diseases caused by deficiency of post-translational modification of lysosomal enzymes. The mannose-6-phosphate (M6P) residue in lysosomal enzymes synthesized by N-acetylglucosamine 1-phosphotransferase (GlcNAc-phosphotransferase) serves as recognition marker for trafficking in lysosomes. GlcNAc-phosphotransferase is encoded by GNPTAB and GNPTG. Mutations in GNPTAB cause severe ML II alpha/beta and the attenuated ML III alpha/beta. Whereas mutations in GNPTG cause the ML III gamma, the attenuated type of ML III variant. For the diagnostic approaches, increased urinary oligosaccharides excretion could be a screening test in clinically suspicious patients. To confirm the diagnosis, instead of measuring the activity of GlcNAc phosphotransferase, measuring the enzymatic activities of different lysosomal hydrolases are useful for diagnosis. The activities of several lysosomal hydrolases are decreased in fibroblasts but increased in serum of the patients. In addition, the sequence analysis of causative gene is warranted. Therefore, the confirmatory diagnosis requires a combination of clinical evaluation, biochemical and molecular genetic testing. ML II/III show complex disease manifestations with lysosomal storage as the prime cellular defect that initiates consequential organic dysfunctions. As there are no specific therapy for ML to date, understanding the molecular pathogenesis can contribute to develop new therapeutic approaches ultimately.

In recent years, genome-wide association (GWA) studies have successfully led to many discoveries of genetic variants affecting common complex traits, including height, blood pressure, and diabetes. Although GWA studies have made much progress in finding single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with many complex traits, such SNPs have been shown to explain only a very small proportion of the underlying genetic variance of complex traits. This is partly due to that fact that most current GWA studies have relied on single-marker approaches that identify single genetic factors individually and have limitations in considering the joint effects of multiple genetic factors on complex traits. Joint identification of multiple genetic factors would be more powerful and provide a better prediction of complex traits, since it utilizes combined information across variants. Recently, a new statistical method for joint identification of genetic variants for common complex traits via the elastic-net regularization method was proposed. In this study, we applied this joint identification approach to a large-scale GWA dataset (i.e., 8842 samples and 327,872 SNPs) in order to identify genetic variants of obesity for the Korean population. In addition, in order to test for the biological significance of the jointly identified SNPs, gene ontology and pathway enrichment analyses were further conducted.
