Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that is the second most common disorder after Alzheimer's disease. PD includes both "motor" and "non-motor" symptoms, one of which is pain. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical characteristics of pain in patients with PD. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 250 patients diagnosed with PD, 70% of which had mild to moderate PD (stages 2/3 of Hoehn and Yahr scale). The average age was 67.4 years, and the average duration since PD diagnosis was 7.1 years. Relevant data collected from PD patients were obtained from their personal medical history. Results: The prevalence of pain was found to be high (82%), with most patients (79.2%) relating their pain to PD. Disease duration was correlated with the frequency of intense pain (R: 0.393; P < 0.05). PD pain is most frequently perceived as an electrical current (64%), and two pain varieties were most prevalent (2.60 ± 0.63). Our findings confirm links between pain, its evolution over time, its multi-modal character, the wide variety of symptoms of PD, and the female sex. Conclusions: Our results demonstrated that the pain felt by PD patients is mainly felt as an electrical current, which contrasts with other studies where the pain is described as burning and itching. Our classification is innovative because it is based on anatomy, whereas those of other authors were based on syndromes.

PD(partial discharge) occurred from variable PD sources in air may be the cause of breakdown in high voltage equipment which affect huge outage in power system. Identification and localization of PD sources is very important for engineer to cope with huge accident beforhand. PD phenomena can be detected by acoustic emission sensor or electromagnetic sensor like antenna. This paper has investigated the identification method using PCA(principal component analysis) for the PD signals from variable PD sources, for which the electric field distribution and PD inception voltages were simulated by using commercial FEM program. PD signals was detected by ultra wideband antenna. Their own features were extracted as the frequency coefficients transformed with FFT(fast fourier transform) and used to obtain independent pincipal components of each PD signals.

The facile synthesis of shape-controlled Pd nanoparticles (PdNPs) with ascorbic acid as a reducing agent and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as a capping agent is presented in this study. The synthesized PdNPs were characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Raman Spectroscopy. The prepared PdNPs show efficient surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) properties. SERS studies on the adsorption characteristics of 1,4-phenylene diisocyanide (1,4-PDI) on colloidal PdNPs have revealed that the relative peak intensity of the $(NC)_{free}$ and $(NC)_{bound}$ modes distinctly depends on the 1,4-PDI concentration as well as the shape of the PdNPs. Furthermore, we found that the PdNPs are also efficient photoelectron emitters such that the SERS spectrum of 4-nitrobenzenethiol (4-NBT) on PdNPs is readily converted to that of 4-aminobenzenethiol (4-ABT) under 632.8 nm radiation.

Immunotherapy, which uses an immune mechanism in the body, has received considerable attention for cancer treatment. Suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (SAHA), also known as a histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi), is used as a cancer treatment to induce active immunity by increasing the expression of T cell-induced chemokines. However, this SAHA treatment has the disadvantage of causing PD-L1 overexpression in tumor cells. In this study, we prevented PD-L1 overexpression by blocking the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway using PD-L1 siRNA. We designed two types of liposomes, the neutral lipid 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholin (POPC) for SAHA, and 1,2-dioleoyl-3-trimethylammoniumpropane (DOTAP) for siRNA. To effectively target PD-L1 in cancer cells, we conjugated PD-L1 antibody with liposomes containing SAHA or PD-L1 siRNA. These immunoliposomes were also evaluated for cytotoxicity, gene silencing, and T-cell-induced chemokine expression in human non-small cell lung cancer A549 cells. It was confirmed that the combination of the two immunoliposomes increased the cancer cell suppression efficacy through Jurkat T cell induction more than twice compared to SAHA alone treatment. In conclusion, this combination of immunoliposomes containing a drug and nucleic acid has promising therapeutic potential for non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC).

It is very interesting and important in the academic point of view and in practical use the hydrogen-induced phase separation(HIPS) which appears during hydrogen heat treatment. Since hydrogen can be removed very fast by pumping it out the hydrogen-induced new lattice phase which can not be obtained without hydrogen can be preserved as meta-stable state. In this study it has been investigated whether the HIPS appear in Pd-Al, Pd-Co, Pd-Cr, Pd-Ti, Pd-V and Pd-Zr alloys and discussed thermodynamic representation of the HIPS. The Pd alloys were arc-melted under argon atmosphere and remelted 4 or 5 times for homogenization. The alloys were annealed at 600$^{\circ}C$ under vacuum for 24 hrs and then subjected to pressure-composition isotherm measurements at 100$^{\circ}C$. The hydrogen heat treatment(HHT) of samples was carried out at 600$^{\circ}C$ under hydrogen pressure of 70 bar for 6 days and PC isotherms at 100$^{\circ}C$ were measured. By comparing the PC isotherms measured before and after HHT, occurrence of phase separation was determined. The experimental results showed that the HIPS appeared only in Pd-0.05Co alloy. For Pd-Co alloys with various composition the PC isotherms were measured. By adopting Park-Flanagan model for ternary thermodynamics the Gibbs free energy change for Pd-Co-H solid solution was calculated and subsequently with this the HIPS in Pd-Co alloy was explained fairly.

Pod dehiscence (PD), defined as the opening of pods along both the dorsal and ventral sutures, causes the seed to shatter in the field before harvesting and results in loss of seed yields. However, breeding for resistance to PD is difficult due to the complicated genetic behavior and environmental interaction. The objective of the present research was to analyze the genetic behavior of PD for improving the breeding efficiency of resistance to PD in soybean. PD after oven-drying the sampled pod at $40^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours was the most reliable to predict the degree of PD tested in the field. Keunolkong, a dehiscent parent, was crossed with non-dehiscent parents, Sinpaldalkong and Iksan 10. Using their $F_1\;and\;F_2$ seeds, PD was measured after oven drying the pod at $40^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours. The gene conferring PD behaved in different manners depending on the genetic populations. In the Keunolkong$\times$Sinpaldalkong population, PD seemed to be governed by single major recessive gene and minor genes, while several genes were probably involved in the resistance to pod dehiscence in the Keunolkong$\times$Iksan 10 population. Heritability for PD estimated in F2 population showed over $90\%$ in the two populations. High heritability of PD indicated that selection for resistance to PD should be effective in a breeding program. In addition, genetic mapping of quantitative locus (QTL) for PD in both populations may reveal that genes conferring PD are population-specific.

Pd과 3d(V, Ti) 및 4d(Mo, Ru, Rh) 전이금속이 c($2{\times}2$) 합금을 이루고 있는 단층의 자성을 제일원리적 FLAPW 에너지띠 방법을 이용하여 연구하였다. 이들 합금과 비교를 위하여 Pd과 V, Ti 및 Mo, Ru, Rh 원자로만 이루어진 단층의 전자구조도 계산하였다. 3d 원소인 V와 Ti 만으로 이루어진 단층의 경우, V은 반강자성, Ti의 경우는 강자성상태가 안정적이었으나, 이들이 Pd와 c($2{\times}2$) 합금을 이루었을 경우 모두 자기모멘트가 반대 방향을 가지는 준강자성 상태가 안정적이었다. 반면에 4d 원자인 Mo, Ru, Rh이 Pd와 c($2{\times}2$) 합금을 이룰 경우에는 자기모멘트들이 같은 방향을 가졌다. 자기모멘트 값을 보면, Ru이나 Rh의 경우 순수단층이나 Pd과 합금을 이룬 경우 그리 큰 차이를 보이지 않았으나, Mo의 경우 $0.02\;{\mu}_B$에서 $2.98\;{\mu}_B$로 급격히 증가하였다. 합금을 이루는 두 원소사이의 전하이동은 전기음성도에 따르게 됨을 알았다.

Penicillium diversum KCTC 6786으로부터 두개의 chitin synthase 유전자 절편(PdCHSl과 PdCHS2)을 PCR로 증폭하고 cloning하였다. PdCHSl과 PdCHS2는 primer 서열을 제외하면 각각 570 bp 길이의 연속된 open reading frame (ORF)을 포함하고 있었다. BLASTP를 이용하여 유추된 아미노산 서열의 유사도를 분석한 결과, P. diversum은 자낭균류와 상당한 진화적 유연관계가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이들 아미노산 서열을 CLASTAL W를 이용하여 분석한 결과, 본 실험에서 분리된 두 유전자 절편은 Bowen 등 (1992)이 제시한 몇 부류 중 서로 다른 부류, 즉, PdCHSl은 Class I에, PdCHS2는 Class II에 각각 속하는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한, Southern blot 분석을 통하여, 각 유전자는 P. diversum KCTC 6786의 genome에 1개씩만 존재함을 알 수 있었다.

연구에서는 $TiO_2$ 담체에 귀금속(Pd, Ru, Ir)을 담지시켜 촉매를 제조하였다. 금속분산의 향상을 위해 $H_2O-H_2$ 전처리 기술이 이용되었고, 반응물로서 xylene, toluene 그리고 MEK를 사용하였다. 단일금속과 합금금속의 촉매들은 함침법에 의해 준비하였고, XRD, XPS 분석을 통하여 특성 분석하였다. Pd-Ru, Pd-Ir 촉매는 다양한 활성점을 나타내었고, 그것은 Pd의 metal 영역를 강화시켰다. 합금금속으로 이루어진 촉매가 단일 금속으로 이루어진 촉매에 비해 VOCs 전환율이 더 높았다. $H_2O-H_2$ 전처리 기술은 Pd 입자를 고르게 분산시켰다. 이는 촉매의 효율을 증진시키는 효과를 보여주었다. 본 연구에서 Pd에 소량의 Ru, Ir 첨가는 VOCs의 산화반응을 증진시켰고, $TiO_2$ 담체상에서 $H_2O-H_2$ 전처리는 VOCs의 제거효율을 증진시켰다.
