Pim kinases are important targets for cancer therapies because they are mainly responsible for cancer metastasis and overall therapeutic treatment responses. Because of their unusual structural feature in the hinge region of the ATP-binding site, new binding motifs have been discovered and used for the development of Pim kinases inhibitors. The results of a screening of 5-membered heteroaromatic compounds and the effects of structural modifications on the inhibition of Pim kinases' activities showed the potential scaffold for Pim inhibitors. 1,3,4-Oxadiazole-2(3H)-thione was found as a new scaffold for Pim kinase inhibitors.

본 논문에서는 분말사출성형공정 (PIM)을 이용하여 1-3형 압전복합체용 PZT 프리폼 (preform)의 제조에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. PZT 분말을 이용해 제조한 피드스탁 (feedstock)의 점도 및 PVT 특성을 측정하였다. 또한 상용 프로그램인 3D-Timon 프로그램을 이용하여 PIM 제조공정 중 사출 성형체의 충진패턴 온도, 압력분포 및 성형 결함 등을 분석하고, 금형 시스템 및 제조공정을 최적화하였다. 최적화된 PIM 제조공정 조건을 사용하여 PZT rod가 균일하게 분포된 1-3형 압전복합체용 PZT 프리폼을 제조할 수 있었다.

Pim kinase-3(Pim-3), a member of serine/threonine protein kinases, has been implicated in multiple human cancers and involved in Myc-induced tumorigenesis. However, little is known regarding its expression and biological function in human ovarian cancer. In this study we showed that the clinical significance and biological functions of Pim-3 in ovarian cancer and found that higher Pim-3 mRNA level are detected in ovarian cancer tissues than those in normal ovarian tissues. There are significant correlations between higher Pim-3 expression levels with the FIGO stage, histopathological subtypes, and distant metastasis in ovarian cancer patients. Lentivirus-mediated gene overexpression of Pim-3 significantly promotes the proliferation and migration of SKOV3 cell lines. Furthermore, MACC1 and Pim-3 expression were significantly correlated in human ovarian cancer cells, and overexpression of Pim-3 in ovary cancer cells increased MACC1 mRNA and protein expression. The data indicate that Pim-3 acts as a putative oncogene in ovary cancer and could be a viable diagnostic and therapeutic target for ovarian cancer.

Pim kinases are promising targets in the treatment of hematopoietic and solid cancers. Meridianin C was chosen as a starting point to discover novel pim kinase inhibitors. Using known pim kinase's structural information, aminopyrimidine was introduced to provide the hydrogen-bonding interactions with the conserved lysine residue in the ATP binding pocket of all three Pim kinases. Synthesized 3,5-bis(aminopyrimidinyl)indole derivatives showed pan-pim inhibitory activity. Aminoalkyl substituent was attached on the aminopyrimidine to further enhance the potency and physicochemical properties of compound. The research reveals a significative way of designing compounds with high potency and kinase selectivity for pan-pim kinases.

Proviral Integration site of Moloney (Pim) murine Leukemia virus kinases is a serine/threonine specific protein kinase. It is largely involved in cell survival and proliferation. Pim-1 phosphorylates multiple cellular substrates to inhibit apoptosis and promote cell cycle progression. Over expression of Pim-1 kinase is observed in a range of malignancies and various solid cancers. High level of Pim-1 expression is seen in myeloma, acute myeloid leukemia, prostate cancer and liver carcinomas. Hence, Pim-1 is considered as an interesting cancer target. In the present study, we have performed region-focused CoMFA study on a series of imidazopyridazine derivatives as Pim-1 kinase inhibitors. A statistically acceptable region-focused CoMFA model ($q^2=0.571$; ONC=3; $r^2=0.909$) was developed. The model was then validated using Bootsrapping and progressive sampling. The contour map highlighted the regions favorable to increase the activity. Bulky substitutions in $R^2$ position of the phenyl ring could increase the activity. Similarly, small negative substitution in the $R^1$ position of the Pyridine ring could increase the activity considerably. Our results will be useful to design novel Pim-1 kinase inhibitors of this series.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate polypharmacy and potentially inappropriate medication (PIM) use in elderly patients admitted to hospitals after falls. Methods: The study surveyed 283 patients 65 or older admitted January 1-December 31, 2016. Data were collected from electronic medical records, and medications administered immediately prior to admission were examined. PIM use for patients was investigated using the Beers criteria, and data were analyzed by Chi-square test and independent ttest. Results: The average age of participants was 79.42± 8.16, and the study included 226 women (79.9%) and 57 men (20.1%). The average number of self-administered medications daily was 4.94± 3.68, and 55.1% took five or more medications. PIM use was found in 107 patients (37.8%). There was a significant difference in polypharmacy according to age, and the proportion of medical aid beneficiaries and prevalence of cardiocerebrovascular, endocrine, and other chronic diseases were higher in the polypharmacy and PIM use patients than in the non-polypharmacy and non-PIM use patients. The number of chronic diseases and medications taken were significantly high among polypharmacy and PIM use patients. Conclusion: It is necessary to minimize polypharmacy and PIM use, and establish a system for systematically evaluating and managing medication use to prevent falls in the elderly.

This paper proposes a lightweight trace-driven Processing-In-Memory (PIM) simulator, TP-Sim. TP-Sim is a General Purpose PIM (GP-PIM) simulator that evaluates various PIM system performance-related metrics. Based on instruction and memory traces extracted from the Intel Pin tool, TP-Sim can replay trace files for multiple models of PIM architectures to compare its performance. To verify the availability of TP-Sim, we estimated three different system configurations on the STREAM benchmark. Compared to the traditional Host CPU-only systems with conventional memory hierarchy, simple GP-PIM architecture achieved better performance; even the Host CPU has the same number of in-order cores. For further study, we also extend TP-Sim as a part of a heterogeneous system simulator that contains CPU, GPGPU, and PIM as its primary and co-processors.

디지털 영상의 저작권 보호를 위해 PIM을 이용한 웨이블릿 패킷 기반의 새로운 워터마킹 방법을 제안한다. 웨이블릿 패킷 계수를 블록으로 나누고 PIM을 이용하여 각 블록의 복잡도를 계산한다. 인간의 시각 특성은 복잡한 영역에서는 변화에 둔감하므로 복잡도를 나타내는 PIM에 의해 선택된 계수에 워터마크를 삽입하여 비가시성을 높인다. 실험결과는 제안된 알고리즘을 이용한 워터마킹이 JPEG, SPIHT와 같은 손실 영상 압축, 미디언 필터링 등의 일반적인 영상처리에도 견고함을 보여준다. 특히 고주파 성분이 많이 포함되어 있는 영상을 고압축하는 경우에 좋은 성능을 보여준다.

Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to assess the incidence of the potentially inappropriate medication (PIM) use in Korean elderly patients with heart failure, and to evaluate factors that influence PIM use. Method: Korean National Health Insurance claims database between January 2009 and December 2009 was used. Using 2012 updated Beers criteria, PIM use in heart failure patients aged 65 years or older was examined. Result: The incidence of PIM use in elderly heart failure patients was higher than in overall elderly patients. Among the 12,759 elderly patients with heart failure, 46.2% of study subjects were prescribed PIM(s) at least once. The number of PIM per 10 medications that patients received per patient was 1.53. The most commonly used PIMs in elderly heart failure patients were benzodiazepines (30.9%), non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) including COX-2 inhibitors (16.3%), digoxin (9.9%), and spironolactone (9.0%). Women (odds ratio, 1.20; 95% CI, 1.17-1.24), medical aid (odds ratio, 1.11; 95% CI, 1.08-1.13), and long-term facilities (odds ratio, 2.69; 95% CI, 2.44-2.96) were revealed to be important factors associated with PIM use. In addition, patient's age also seems to influence PIM use. Conclusion: Elderly heart failure patients are at a greater risk for adverse drug events attributed by inappropriate medication use. Efforts to increase awareness of PIM use in elderly heart failure patients are needed. In addition, various comprehensive strategies and policies to identify and prevent PIM use should be established nationwide.
