The purpose of this research paper is to re-valuate the factors that affected the Royal Navy's rearmament and preparation for war by conducting analysis on the discussion held in the Britain on the strategic priorities and Navy's coping measures adopted during the interwar period. After the end of the WWI, each of the military arms of the Britain faced significant difficulty in securing budget and increasing their military power all throughout the interwar period, and the Navy was not an exception. The WWII that got started on September 1939 was the turning point in which this difficulty led to full-fledged crisis. Immensely many criticisms followed after the war and problems were identified when it comes to the Royal Navy's performance during the war. This type of effort to identify problem led to the attempt to analyze whether Royal Navy's preparation for war and rearmament policy during interwar period were adequate, and to identify the root causes of failure. Existing studies sought to find the root cause of failed rearmament from external factors such as the deterioration of the Britain itself or pressure from the Treasury Department to cut the budget for national defense, or sought to detect problems from the development of wrong strategies by the Navy. However, Royal Navy's failed preparation for the war during interwar period is not the result of one or two separate factors. Instead, it resulted due to the diverse factors and situations that the Britain was facing at the time, and due to intricate and complex interaction of these factors. Meanwhile, this research paper focused on the context characterized by 'strategic selection and setting up of priorities' among the various factors to conduct analysis on the Navy's rearmament by linking it with the discussion held at the time on setting up strategic priorities, and sought to demonstrate that the Navy Department's inadequate counter-measures developed during this process waned Royal Navy's position. After the end of WWI, each of the military arms continued to compete for the limited resources and budget all throughout the interwar period, and this type of competition amidst the situation in which the economic situation of Britain was still unstable, made prioritization when it comes to the allocation of resources and setting up of the priorities when it comes to the military power build-up, inevitable. Amidst this situation, the RAF was able to secure resources first and foremost, encouraged by the conviction of some politicians who were affected by the 'theory of aerial threat' and who believed that curtailing potential attack with the Air Force would be means to secure national security at comparatively lower cost. In response, Navy successfully defended the need for the existence of Navy despite the advancement of the aerial power, by emphasizing that the Britain's livelihood depends on trade and on the maintenance of maritime traffic. Despite this counter-measuring logic, however, Navy's role was still limited to the defense of overseas territory and to the fleet run-off instead of sea traffic route production when it comes to the specific power build-up plan, and did not understand the situation in which financial and economic factors gained greater importance when it comes to the setting up of strategic priorities. As a result, Navy's plan to build its powers was met with continual resistance of the Treasury Department, and lost the opportunity to re-gain the status of 'senior service' that it had enjoyed in the past during the competition for strategic prioritization. Given that the strategic and economic situation that Korea faces today is not very different from that of the Britain during the interwar period, our Navy too should leverage the lessons learned from the Royal Navy to make the effort to secure viable position when it comes to the setting of priorities in case of national defense strategy by presenting the basis on why maritime coping should be prioritized among the numerous other threats, and by developing the measures for securing the powers needed effectively amidst the limited resources.

Background: Inoperable and metastatic hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is associated with a poor prognosis and low chemotherapeutic efficiency. Sorafenib is an oral multi-kinase inhibitor exerting its effects via the RAF/MEK/ERK pathway, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) and platelet derived growth factor receptor beta (PDGFR-${\beta}$) tyrosine kinases. Randomized studies have shown a significant contribution of sorafenib to life expectancy and quality of life of cancer patients. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the efficacy and side effects of sorafenib therapy in Turkey. Materials and Methods: Data for 103 patients (82 males, 21 females) receiving sorafenib therapy in 13 centers from February 2008 to December 2012 were evaluated. Median age was 61 years and median ECOG performance status was 1 (range: 0-2). 60 patients (58%) had hepatitis B, 15 patients (15%) had hepatitis C infection and 12 patients (12%) had a history of alcohol consumption. All of the patients had Child scores meeting the utilization permit of the drug in our country (Child A). Results: A total of 571 cycles of sorafenib therapy were administered with a median of four per patient. Among the evaluable cases, there was partial response in 15 (15%), stable disease in 52 (50%), and progressive disease in 36 (35%). Median progression-free survival was 18 weeks and median overall survival was 48 weeks. The dose was reduced only in 6 patients and discontinued in 2 patients due to grade 3-4 toxicity, 18 patients (17%) suffering hand-foot syndrome, 7 (7%) diarrhea, and 2 (2%) vomiting. Conclusions: This retrospective study demonstrated better efficacy of sorafenib therapy in patients with advanced HCC compared to the literature while progression-free survival and overall survival findings were comparable. The side effect rates indicate that the drug was tolerated well. In conclusion, among the available treatment options, sorafenib is an efficient and tolerable agent in patients with inoperable or metastatic HCC.

Valproic acid(VPA)는 아주 잘 알려진 항경련제로서, 30년 동안 간질치료제로서 사용되어져 왔다. VPA는 1997년에 최초로 항암제의 효능이 밝혀졌으며, VPA의 항암효과는 히스톤탈아세틸화효소 억제제의 기전에 기인한다고 규명되었다. 17AAG(17-Allyamnio-17-demethoxygeldanamycin)는 HSP90의 억제제이며, HSP90은 세포증식과 세포생존에 관여하며, 최근 17AAG가 세포자멸사를 유도한다는 연구들이 보고되어지고 있다. 본 연구는 히스톤탈아세틸화효소억제제인 VPA와 HSP90 억제제인 17AAG의 병용처리가 사람골육종세포에 상승 세포자멸사 효과가 있는지를 알기 위해서 수행되었다. VPA과 17AAG의 병용처리가 단독처리에 비해서 효과적인 세포생존율 감소가 있는지 확인하기 위해서 trypan-blue법을 시행하였고, 세포자멸사의 유도와 증가를 확인하기 위해서 Hoechst 염색법, flow cytometry(DNA hypoploidy와 MMP 측정), Western bot 분석법 그리고 면역형광염색법을 수행하였다. 병용처리 된 사람골육종세포는 단독처리 된 사람골육종세포에서 거의 관찰할 수 없었던 핵 응축과 조각남, 사립체막 전위와 DNA 양의 감소, cytochrome c의 세포질로의 유리, AIF의 핵으로의 이동, caspase-3과 caspase-7의 파괴 및 PARP의 분절화와 같은 세포자멸사 증거를 보였다. 48시간 동안 1 mM의 VPA와 0.5 ${\mu}M$ 17AAG을 각기 단독처리 한 결과에서는 세포자멸사를 유도 못했으나, 병용처리한 결과에는 아주 탁월한 세포자멸사의 유도를 보였다. 이러한 병용처리 결과는 사람골육종의 새로운 치료적 전략으로 응용될 수 있다고 생각한다.

한국산 대극속(Euphorbia L.) 13종의 화분 형태에 대한 재검토가 광학현미경과 주사전자현미경을 통하여 수행되었으며, 특히 화분 극축의 길이, 적도면의 직경, 발아구의 크기, 표벽의 두께 등이 측정되었다. 또한 화분 형질의 분석을 바탕으로 화분 형질에 대한 분류학적 평가 및 분류군의 유연관계가 논의되었다. 화분 극축의 길이(P)와 적도면 직경(E)의 평균치를 바탕으로 한국산 대극속은 다음과 같이 3군으로 구분되었다 : 1군. 흰대극아속의 낭독절, 대극절; $(P)x(E)=(54.88-67.17{\mu}m)x(44.30-64.75{\mu}m)$, 2군. 흰대극아속의 흰대극절, 등대풀절; $(P)x(E)=(39.98-47.24{\mu}m)x(36.07-38.83{\mu}m)$, 3군. 땅빈대아속의 큰땅빈대절, 땅빈대절; $(P)x(E)=(30.32-32.51{\mu}m)x(21.71-26.23{\mu}m)$. 또한 각 분류군에서 관찰된 다양한 표벽무늬는 소공의 크기와 소공 간 간격의 차이에 따라 8가지 유형으로 구분되었다. 조사된 화분 형질 중에서 화분의 크기 및 표벽무늬는 비교적 아속과 절 수준에서 유용한 것으로 밝혀졌다. 특히, 땅빈대아속은 매우 작은 화분의 크기에서 뿐만 아니라 표벽에 소공이 치밀하게 분포한다는 점에 의해서 흰대극아속과 뚜렷이 구분되었다. 각 종의 지역집단에 따라 화분의 크기에 심한 변이가 존재하였고 또한 여러 유형의 표벽무늬를 지니고 있었기 때문에, 화분의 크기 및 표벽무늬는 대극속의 각 종을 분류하는 데에는 적절치 않은 것으로 평가되었다. 그러나 표벽무늬의 유사성을 근거로 단주낭독이 낭독보다는 붉은대극에 더 가깝고, 대극, 두메대극, 참대극은 밀접한 유연관계가 있음이 밝혀지는 등, 대극속 일부종의 분류에는 그의 유용성이 인정되었다.
