Let p and q be odd primes with p=2q+1. We study the number of solutions of congruence equations $ax^i\;+\;by^j\;{\equiv}\;c$ (mod p) and a$ax^i\;+\;by^j\;+\;dz^t\;{\equiv}\;c(modp)$

Assume G is a finite p-group and i is a fixed positive integer. In this paper, finite p-groups G with ${\mid}N_G(H):H{\mid}=p^i$ for all nonnormal subgroups H are classified up to isomorphism. As a corollary, this answer Problem 116(i) proposed by Y. Berkovich in his book "Groups of Prime Power Order Vol. I" in 2008.

The effect of clonidine administered intrathecally (i.t.) on the mortality and the blood glucose level induced by sepsis was examined in mice. To produce sepsis, the mixture of D-galactosamine (GaLN; 0.6 g/10 ml)/lipopolysaccharide (LPS; $27{\mu}g/27{\mu}l$) was treated intraperitoneally (i.p.). The i.t. pretreatment with clonidine ($5{\mu}g/5{\mu}l$) increased the blood glucose level and attenuated mortality induced by sepsis in a dose-dependent manner. The i.t. post-treatment with clonidine up to 3 h caused an elevation of the blood glucose level and protected sepsis-induced mortality, whereas clonidine post-treated at 6, 9, or 12 h did not affect. The pre-treatment with oral D-glucose for 30 min prior to i.t. post-treatment (6 h) with clonidine did not rescue sepsis-induced mortality. In addition, i.t. pretreatment with pertussis toxin (PTX) reduced clonidine-induced protection against mortality and clonidine-induced hyperglycemia, suggesting that protective effect against sepsis-induced mortality seems to be mediated via activating PTX-sensitive G-proteins in the spinal cord. Moreover, pretreatment with clonidine attenuated the plasma tumor necrosis factor ${\alpha}$ ($TNF-{\alpha}$) induced by sepsis. Clonidine administered i.t. or i.p. increased $p-AMPK{\alpha}1$ and $p-AMPK{\alpha}2$, but decreased p-Tyk2 and p-mTOR levels in both control and sepsis groups, suggesting that the up-regulations of $p-AMPK{\alpha}1$ and $p-AMPK{\alpha}2$, or down-regulations of p-mTOR and p-Tyk2 may play critical roles for the protective effect of clonidine against sepsis-induced mortality.

I $n_{0.53}$G $a_{0.47}$As/I $n_{0.52}$A $l_{0.48}$As pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (P-HEMT) structures were grown on semi-insulating InP substrates by molecular beam epitzxy method. The hall effect measuremetn was used to measure the electrical properties and the photoluminescence (PL) measurement was used to measure the electrical properties and the photoluminescence(PL) measurement for optical propety. By the cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (XTEM) investigation of the V and X shape defects including slip with angle of 60.deg. C and 120.deg. C to surface in the sampel, the defects formation mecahnism in the I $n_{0.52}$A $l_{0.48}$As epilayers on InP substrates could be explained with the different thermal expansion coefficients between I $n_{0.52}$A $l_{0.48}$As epilayers and InP substrate.d InP substrate.

To get more insight into the buffering effects of the p-${\mu}c$-Si:H Inserted at the p-a-SiC:H/i-a-Si:H interface, we present a systematic numerical simulation using Gummel-Schafetter method. The reduced recombination loss at the p/i interface due to a constant bandgap buffer is analysed in terms of the variation of the p/i Interface region with a short lifetime and the characterisitics of the buffer such as mobility bandgap, acceptor concentration, and D-state density. The numerical modeling on the constant bandgap buffer demonstrates clearly that the buffering effects of the thin p-${\mu}c$-Si:H originate from the shrinkage of highly defective region with a short lifetime in the vicinity of the p/i interface.

Let P be a finite point set in ℝ² with the set of distance n-chains defined as ∆_n(P) = {(|p₁ - p₂|, |p₂ - p₃|, …, |p_n - p_n+1|) : p_i ∈ P}. We show that for 2 ⩽ n = O_|P|(1) we have ${\mid}{\Delta}_n(P){\mid}{\gtrsim}{\frac{{\mid}P{\mid}^n}{{\log}^{\frac{13}{2}(n-1)}{\mid}P{\mid}}}$. Our argument uses the energy construction of Elekes and a general version of Rudnev's rich-line bound implicit in [28], which allows one to iterate efficiently on intersecting nested subsets of Guth-Katz lines. Let G is a simple connected graph on m = O(1) vertices with m ⩾ 2. Define the graph-distance set ∆_G(P) as ∆_G(P) = {(|p_i - p_j|)_{i,j}∈E(G) : p_i, p_j ∈ P}. Combining with results of Guth and Katz [17] and Rudnev [28] with the above, if G has a Hamiltonian path we have ${\mid}{\Delta}_G(P){\mid}{\gtrsim}{\frac{{\mid}P{\mid}^{m-1}}{\text{polylog}{\mid}P{\mid}}}$.

We performed this study to determine the effect of Korean favorite teas (green tea, ginseng tea, coffee and barley tea) on jejunal crypt survival, endogenous spleen colony formation and apoptosis in jejunal crypt cells of mice irradiated with high and low dose of ${\gamma}$-radiation. Jejunal crypts were protected by pretreatment of green tea (P.O.: 1.25% water extract, for 7 days before irradiation., I.P.: 50 mg/kg of body weight, at 12 and 36 hours before irradiation, p<0.01) or ginseng (I.P.: 50 mg/kg of body weight, at 12 and 36 hours before irradiation, p<0.05). Green tea (p<0.05) or ginseng (p<0.05) administration before irradiation (I.P. at 12 and 36 hours before irradiation) resulted in an increase of t formation of endogenous spleen colony. The frequency of radiation-induced apoptosis was also reduced by pretreatment of green tea (P.O.: p<0.005, I.P.: p<0.05), pretreatment of ginseng (P.O.: p<0.005, I.P.: p<0.005) or posttreatment of ginseng (I.P.: 50 mg/kg of body weight, at 30 minutes after irradiation, p<0.05). Treatment with coffee or barley tea showed no significant modifying effects on the radiation-induced damages. These results indicated that green tea and ginseng might be a useful radioprotector, especially since it is a relatively nontoxic natural product. Further studies are needed to characterize better the promotion nature of green tea, ginseng and its components.

Bacillus thuringiensis serovar israelensis 4Q1 contains 8 different covalently closed-circular (CCC) plasmids of molecular weight 204, 267, 109, 103, 16, 7.6, 6.4, and 5.0kb. The three smallest plasmids, designated pBti6, and pBti8 may prove to be useful as cloning vectors because of thier size and ease of isolation. The three plasmids were incubated separately with 9 different restriction enzymes and 7 of the enzymes tested cleaved one or more of the plasmids. Plasmid pBti6 has a single site for Bg1 II, Pst I and Pvu II, two sites for Bc1 I and Eco RI, and five sites for Hind III. Plasmid pBti7 has a single site for Bam HI and Pst I, two sites for Hind III, and three sites for PvuII. Plasmic pBti8 has a single site for Bam HI, BelI and Hind III, two sites for Eco RI, and three sites for Bgl II and Pvu II. Composite restriction enzyme maps for pBti6, pBti7 and pBti8 were constructed. The sites of restriction enzyme cleavage were determined by single, double and partial digests of the plasmid DNA. All the restriction sites were aligned relative to the single Bgl II(pBti6), Pst I(pBti7) or Hind III(pBti8) site, respectively.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the outcome after changes in the treatment strategies for very low birth weight infant (VLBWI) in a single neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) center. Methods: We performed a retrospective review of 300 VLBWI born from 1st January 2010 to 31th December 2016. We compared the outcomes including survival rate, birth weight (BW), gestational age (GA), and morbidities between period I (2010-2013, P-I) and period II (2014-2016, P-II). Results: The average survival rate was not different between P-I and P-II. However, the survival rate of ${\leq}24$ weeks' GA, 25 weeks' GA, 26 weeks' GA were 57%, 69%, 93% respectively in P-II and 31%, 59%, 87% in P-I respectively. The survival rate of infants with birth weight <500 g, 500-749 g, 750-999 g were 100%, 55%, 90% respectively in P- II and 50%, 24%, 80%, respectively in P-I. The incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) was higher in P-II than in P-I (P=0.012) and moderate-to-severe BPD was also higher in P-II (P=0.004). Incidence of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) with treatment, necrotizing enterocolitis (stage ${\geq}2$), and abnormal brain sonography were significantly lower in P-II (P=0.027, P=0.032, P=0.005). Incidences of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) with laser treatment and early sepsis were not different. Conclusion: The survival rate and complications of VLBWI were improved in period II, especially in less than 750 g and below 26 weeks, except incidence of BPD. Changes of NICU strategies were effective to improve mortality and morbidity in VLBWI.
