본 논문은 주기적 진동 문제를 연구하기 위해 Runge-Kutta(RK)-Butcher 알고리듬이 소개되었다. RK-Butcher 알고리듬을 사용하여 얻어진 시뮬레이션 결과와 고전적인 4차 RK(4) 방법을 통해 얻은 결과들을 제안한 알고리듬의 성능을 확인하기 위하여 몇몇 주기적 진동 문제들의 정확한 해와 비교하였다. RK-Butcher 알고리듬의 시뮬레이션 결과는 항상 문제의 정확한 해 RK(4) 방법보다 더 근접한 결과를 줌이 확인되었다. 정확도 측면에서 RK-Butcher 알고리듬이 RK(4) 방법과 비교해볼 때 우수함을 알 수 있다. 제안한 RK-Butcher 알고리듬은 프로그램 언어로 쉽게 구현할 수 있으며 임의 시간에 종료해도 훌륭한 근사적인 해를 얻을 수 있다. RK-Butcher 알고리듬은 짧은 시간내에 이상적인 정확한 해에 근접한 결과를 주기 때문에 궤도 와 두 물체의 문제를 연구하는데 훌륭한 수치 알고리듬으로 적용 가능하다.

혈소판의 적절한 활성화와 응집이 필요하지만 과도하거나 비정상적인 응집은 뇌졸중, 혈전증, 동맥경화증과 같은 심혈관 질환을 유발할 수 있다. 따라서 이러한 질병을 예방하고 치료하기 위해서는 혈소판 응집을 조절하거나 억제할 수 있는 물질을 찾는 것이 중요하다. 여러 연구에서 Panax 인삼의 특정 ginsenoside 화합물이 혈소판 응집을 억제할 수 있음이 알려져 있다. 이들 화합물 중 Panax ginseng의 Rk3 (G-Rk3)는 혈소판 응집 억제의 기전이 불확실 하기에 이를 밝히기 위한 연구가 필요하다. G-Rk3는 cAMP의 양을 강하게 증가시켰고 cAMP 의존성 kinase의 기질인 VASP 및 IP3R의 인산화를 유도했다. 또한, G-Rk3의 효과는 PI3K/Akt 인산화의 억제를 일으켜 세포 내 과립의 분비를 감소시켰다. 궁극적으로 G-Rk3는 혈소판 응집을 효과적으로 억제하였다. 따라서 우리는 과도한 혈소판 응집으로 인한 심혈관 질환의 예방 또는 치료제로서의 G-Rk3의 가능성을 제안한다.

센서스 단위의 인구자료는 기초적인 인문사회 자료로 행정구역 단위로 요약되어 공간분석에 시용된다. 정밀한 인구 분포를 추정하기 위해 기존의 연구에서는 위성영상과 회귀분석 모형을 이용하였다. 하지만 회귀식에 의한 추정치는 공간자료의 공간적자기상관과 잔차 때문에 정확도에 있어 한계가 있었다. 본 연구는 회귀모형과 회귀모형에서 추출된 잔차에 대해 공간적자기상관을 고려하도록 크리깅 보간하는 RK모형(Regression Kriging Model)을 이용하여 인구분포의 추정 정확도를 향상하였다. RK모형을 적용하여 서울시의 4개구를 대상으로 사례분석을 하였으며, 모형의 효율성을 검증하기 위해 회귀분석만을 이용한 예측 결과와 RK모형을 이용한 예측 결과를 서로 비교하였다. 비교한 결과로 상관관계 계수 평균제곱근 오차, G 통계량 수치에서 RK모형의 추정 정확도가 기존의 회귀모형에 비해 높게 나온 것을 확인할수 있었다. 향후 정확한 인구추정을 위해 RK모형이 많이 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

$_L-Lysine$ 발효산업에 이용되고 있는 B. lactofermentum의 L-lysine 생합성은 succinylase 경로와 dehydrogenase 경로를 통하여 일어난다. 특히 lysine 생산 균주에 부가적으로 존재하는 dehydrogenase 경로는 lysine 생합성에 있어서 필수적인 경로로 작용하며 이때 meso-DAP-dehydrogenase (DDH)를 암호화하는 ddh gene이 관여한다. 그러므로 B. lactofermentum의 lysine 발효에 있어서 ddh gene의 over expression에 의한 lysine 생성량을 비교 조사하기 위하여, shuttle vector pEB1 및 pJC1으로 ddh gene을 삽입하여 재조합 plasmid pRK1 및 pRK31을 구축하였고 이를 B. lactofermentum으로 도입시켜 DDH 활성을 측정한 결과 pRK1을 함유한 균주는 대조균주보다 7배 정도, pRK31을 함유한 균주는 14배 정도 증가하였다. 또한 Shuttle vector를 함유한 대조균주와 재조합 plasmid를 함유한 균주간의 성장 비교에서는 서로 비슷한 수준을 나타내었으며 플라스크 배양에서 lysine 생성량의 비교 분석에서는 재조합 plasmid를 함유한 균주의 경우 48시간 이후부터 대조균주보다 lysine 생성량이 증가하기 시작하여 72시간때에는 최대치를 나타내었으며 그 이후는 오히려 감소하였다. 최대치를 나타낸 72시간 때의 lysine 생성량은 대조균주가 4.38g/L를 나타내었으며 pRK1 및 pRK31을 함유한 균주는 각각 5.34g/L 및 5.21 g/L이었다. 이상의 결과로 미루어 볼 때 B. lactofermentum내에서 ddh gene의 증폭에 의한 lysine 생성량은 pRK1 및 pRK31에서 대조균주보다 각각 20% 및 19% 증가하였다. 또한 발효조 배양에서의 lysine 생성량도 재조합 균주가 대조균주보다 23% 정도 증가를 나타내어 B. lactofermentum에서 ddh gene의 증폭으로 lysine 생성량이 증가하였음을 확인하였다.

The k-means algorithm is widely used in academia and industry due to easy and simple implementation, enabling fast learning for complex datasets. However, k-means struggles to classify datasets without prior knowledge of specific domains. We proposed the repulsive k-means (RK-means) algorithm in a previous study to improve the k-means algorithm, using the repulsive force concept, which allows deleting unnecessary cluster centroids. Accordingly, the RK-means enables to classifying of a dataset without domain knowledge. However, three main problems remain. The RK-means algorithm includes a cluster repulsive force offset, for clusters confined in other clusters, which can cause cluster locking; we were unable to prove RK-means provided optimal convergence in the previous study; and RK-means shown better performance only normalize term and weight. Therefore, this paper proposes the advanced RK-means (ARK-means) algorithm to resolve the RK-means problems. We establish an initialization strategy for deploying cluster centroids and define a metric for the ARK-means algorithm. Finally, we redefine the mass and normalize terms to close to the general dataset. We show ARK-means feasibility experimentally using blob and iris datasets. Experiment results verify the proposed ARK-means algorithm provides better performance than k-means, k'-means, and RK-means.

Background: Frequent overdose of paracetamol (APAP) has become the major cause of acute liver injury. The present study was designed to evaluate the potential protective effects of ginsenoside Rk1 on APAP-induced hepatotoxicity and investigate the underlying mechanisms for the first time. Methods: Mice were treated with Rk1 (10 mg/kg or 20 mg/kg) by oral gavage once per d for 7 d. On the 7th d, allmice treated with 250mg/kg APAP exhibited severeliverinjury after 24 h, and hepatotoxicitywas assessed. Results: Our results showed that pretreatment with Rk1 significantly decreased the levels of serum alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, tumor necrosis factor, and interleukin-$1{\beta}$ compared with the APAP group. Meanwhile, hepatic antioxidants, including superoxide dismutase and glutathione, were elevated compared with the APAP group. In contrast, a significant decrease in levels of the lipid peroxidation product malondialdehyde was observed in the ginsenoside Rk1-treated group compared with the APAP group. These effects were associated with a significant increase of cytochrome P450 E1 and 4-hydroxynonenal levels in liver tissues. Moreover, ginsenoside Rk1 supplementation suppressed activation of apoptotic pathways by increasing Bcl-2 and decreasing Bax protein expression levels, which was shown using western blotting analysis. Histopathological observation also revealed that ginsenoside Rk1 pretreatment significantly reversed APAP-induced necrosis and inflammatory infiltration in liver tissues. Biological indicators of nitrative stress, such as 3-nitrotyrosine, were also inhibited after pretreatment with Rk1 compared with the APAP group. Conclusion: The results clearly suggest that the underlying molecular mechanisms in the hepatoprotection of ginsenoside Rk1 in APAP-induced hepatotoxicity may be due to its antioxidation, antiapoptosis, anti-inflammation, and antinitrative effects.

Background: Ginsenoside Re (Re) is one of the major components of Panax ginseng Meyer. Ginsenoside $Rk_3$ ($Rk_3$) is a secondary metabolite of Re. The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the effects and underlying mechanisms of Re and $Rk_3$ on cyclophosphamide-induced myelosuppression. Methods: The mice myelosuppression model was established by intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of cyclophosphamide. Peripheral blood cells, bone marrow nucleated cells, and colony yield of hematopoietic progenitor cells in vitro were counted. The levels of erythropoietin, thrombopoietin, and granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor in plasma were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Bone marrow cell cycle was performed by flow cytometry. The expression of apoptotic protein bcl-2, bax, and caspase-3 was detected by Western blotting. Results: Both Re and $Rk_3$ could improve peripheral blood cells, bone marrow nucleated cell counts, thymus index, and spleen index. Furthermore, they could enhance the yield of colonies cultured in vitro and make the levels of granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor, erythropoietin, and thrombopoietin normal, reduce the ratio of $G_0/G_1$ phase cells, and increase the proliferation index. Finally, Re and $Rk_3$ could upregulate the expression of bcl-2, whereas they could downregulate the expression of bax and caspase-3. Conclusion: Re and $Rk_3$ could improve the hematopoietic function of myelosuppressed mice. The effect of $Rk_3$ was superior to that of Re at any dose. Regulating the levels of cytokines, promoting cells enter the normal cell cycle, regulating the balance of bcl-2/bax, and inhibiting the expression of caspase-3 may be the effects of Re and $Rk_3$ on myelosuppression.

Background and objective: The ability to inhibit aggregation has been demonstrated with synthetically derived ginsenoside compounds G-Rp (1, 3, and 4) and ginsenosides naturally found in Panax ginseng 20(S)-Rg3, Rg6, F4, and Ro. Among these compounds, Rk3 (G-Rk3) from Panax ginseng needs to be further explored in order to reveal the mechanisms of action during inhibition. Methodology: Our study focused to investigate the action of G-Rk3 on agonist-stimulated human platelet aggregation, inhibition of platelet signaling molecules such as fibrinogen binding with integrin α_IIbβ₃ using flow cytometry, intracellular calcium mobilization, dense granule secretion, and thromboxane B₂ secretion. In addition, we checked the regulation of phosphorylation on PI3K/MAPK pathway, and thrombin-induced clot retraction was also observed in platelets rich plasma. Key Results: G-Rk3 significantly increased amounts of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and led to significant phosphorylation of cAMP-dependent kinase substrates vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP₃R). In the presence of G-Rk3, dense tubular system Ca²⁺ was inhibited, and platelet activity was lowered by inactivating the integrin αIIb/β₃ and reducing the binding of fibrinogen. Furthermore, the effect of G-Rk3 extended to the inhibition of MAPK and PI3K/Akt phosphorylation resulting in the reduced secretion of intracellular granules and reduced production of TXA₂. Lastly, G-Rk3 inhibited platelet aggregation and thrombus formation via fibrin clot. Conclusions and implications: These results suggest that when dealing with cardiovascular diseases brought upon by faulty aggregation among platelets or through the formation of a thrombus, the G-Rk3 compound can play a role as an effective prophylactic or therapeutic agent.
