Malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH), a type of sarcoma, is a malignant neoplasm with uncertain origins that arise from both the soft tissues and the bone. The occurrence of MFH on the chest wall is extremely rare. We hereby report a case of a 72-year-old woman who was incidentally detected with MFH after a traffic accident.

태양전파폭발위치관측기(KSRBL)는 단일 안테나 전파분광기로써 미 뉴저지공과대학과의 협력으로 2009년 8월에 한국천문연구원에 개발 설치되었다. 1 MHz 스펙트럼 분해능과 1초의 시간 분해능을 가지고 있고 관측할 수 있는 주파수 대역은 245, 410 MHz 와 0.5-18 GHz에 이르는 광대역이다. 또한 태양 전면 $0.03^{\circ}$ 각거리 안의 오차 범위 내에 태양 폭발 위치를 감지할 수 있다. 전파 관측은 LabVIEW와 IDL 프로그램에 의해 미리 짜여진 관측 스케줄에 따라 매일 자동으로 진행된다. 하루에 생성되는 원시데이터는 90 GB 정도이며, 태양이 지고나면 원시데이터는 적분과정을 통해 용량이 6 GB 정도로 줄어들게 된다. 이렇게 처리된 파일은 바로 데이터 서버에 자동 전송된다. 또한 KSRBL 관측일지 홈페이지를 웹기반으로 개발하였으며 조만간 이를 데이터 전송과 연계하여 전파 폭발이 감지될 경우 원시데이터도 데이터 서버에 자동 전송되도록 할 예정이다. 2010년 1월에서 2월 8일 사이 5개의 전파 폭발이 관측되었고 태양활동이 점차 활발해짐에 따라 관측횟수는 더욱 늘어날 전망이다. 관측된 사례들에 대해 다른 전파 및 X선 관측과 비교분석하였다.

The appearance of Asian Dust (AD) originating from China and Mongolia during spring each year is a meteorological phenomenon periodically observed in extensive regions of East Asia. According to a previous epidemiological study, AD has adverse effects on both human beings and ecosystems. In this study, we collected total suspension particles (TSP) in the AD period and Non-AD (NAD) period. We extracted organic components from TSP using dichloromethane (DCM), and the polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were analyzed. The DCM extracts contained PAHs such as benzo(b)fluoranthene, benzo[g,h,i]perylene, benzo(k)fluoranthene, benzo(a)pyrene, and pyrene. No significant difference was observed in cytotoxicity of the DCM extracts from AD versus NAD when tested on the human bronchial epithelial cells, BEAS-2B. e also examined the toxic mechanisms of AD extracts in cultured BEAS-2B cells and RAW264.7 cells, and in BEAS-2B cells observed increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), decreased glutathione (GSH), and induced caspase-3 activity. Increased expression of oxidative stress-related and inflammation- related genes were also observed in BEAS-2B cells, while nitric oxide (NO) levels were increased in RAW264.7 cells. Taken together, the results suggest that in these cultured cells, AD may induce cytotoxicity through oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory signals.

The fucoidan from Laminaria relicollected at Wando in Korea was purified with the yield of 2.3% in mass. The monosaccharide composiof the purified fucoidan was nearly identical to that of the commercial standard: fucose 63.71 %, xylose 22.98%, galactose 6.62%, mannose 0.24%, and uronic acid 3.26%. Microorganisms capable of degrading the purified fucoidan were isolated from the colonies on the minimal medium containing 0.2% of purified fucoidan as a sole carbon source. Of these isolates, a strain showing a relatively higher capability to degrade fucoidan, up to 63%, was partially characterized as a Gram positive, aerobic, moderately halophilic marine bacterium.

To investigate the anti-inflammatory effect on Degenerative Osteoarthritis, Male sprague-Dawley rats were randomized and classified into three different concentration groups. We measured weekly weight change, dietary intake, drinking water intake, blood analysis like TNF-α (tumor necrosis factor-α), IL-6 (interleukin 6), TIMP-1 (tissue inhibitor of metalloprotease-1), MMP-2 (matrix metalloprotease-2), MMP-9 (matrix metalloprotease-9) and micro CT analysis. The results suggest that the treatment with herbal complex HP-04 improved the Monosodium iodoacetate (MIA) induced degenerative osteoarthritis and it could be applicable for the improvement of arthritic symptoms as a new therapeutic agent.

Rehmannia glutinosa is one of the most important medicinal crops in Korea. However, various plant pathogens, including Fusatium spp., cause great damage on R. glutinosa and result in enormous economic losses. This study was conducted to breed Fusarium-resistant plants by using Agrobacterium tumefaciences and AFP (anti-fungal protein) gene. The plant material used was a native accession of R. glutinosa. The PCR analysis was conducted to verify transgenicity. Based on the PCR analysis, nptII band was observed in transgenic plant genome. Southern blot and AFP protein analyses also showed the expression of this gene in transgenic plants. Expression of AFP in transgenic plants offers the possibility of developing resistance to fungal infection.

These experiments were carried out to examine efficacy of soil solarization for control of pink root disease by means of mulching with transparent polyethylene sheets in the hot season. The effects of soil solarization on incidence of pink-root disease caused by Pyrenochaeta terrestris and on onion growth and on populations of soil fungi were investigated. Solarization was dramatically effective in reducing pink root incidence in onion seedling and harvested onion bulb. A 30-day and 40-day solarization treatment significantly improved seedling survival and increased yield of 'Changnyeong-deago' onion while decreasing incidence of pink root. Populations of soil fungi from fields planted to onion were assayed on selective media. Solarization treatment was effective in reducing populations of P. terrestris, Pythium spp., and Rhizoctonia sp. in soil. Increase of yield of onion bulbs was associated with control of soil-borne pathogenic fungi. Soil solarization had beneficial effects on yield, bulb diameter, or incidence of pink root.

Purpose: This study was conducted in order to investigate the exercise limit that may occur depending on changes in postural alignment by examining the significance of postural alignment changes, foot pressure, and balance of patients with stroke. Methods: In this study, 50 patients diagnosed with a stroke were selected as subjects. Imbalance of postural alignment of the trunk, pelvic tilt of trunk rotation of the body, angle of kyphotic curving of the thoracic, and angle of lordotic curving of the lumbar vertebra were measured. Foot pressure was examined by measuring average pressure and weight bearing. Balance was examined by measuring the center of pressure and limit of stability. Results: The significance of postural alignment, foot pressure, and weight bearing of the non-paretic side was examined. In addition, the significance between postural alignment and balance was examined. Conclusion: It is thought that limits of foot pressure and balance in the standing position can be caused by postural alignment. Thus, both a therapeutic intervention program and postural alignment training should be provided together in order to improve the function of patients with stroke.

학습자들의 효과적인 학습을 위하여 구성주의 학습이론을 바탕으로 웹 기반 코스웨어를 설계하였다. 기존의 학습과정인 교과서, 멀티미어 타이틀, 웹을 기반으로 한 코스웨어 등이 개발되어 교육현장에서 적용되면서 학습자에게 학습 흥미유발 및 교육성취도 등에서 효과가 있는 것으로 많은 연구자료에서 검증되었다. 하지만 기존의 코스웨어들은 하나의 과정으로 순차적이며 단계적인 학습이 이루어지는 단점이 있어 본 논문에서는 이러한 점을 보완하였다. 학습자들이 각자의 경험과 지식에 바탕을 두어 여러 유형의 학습안중에서 각자에 맞는 학습안을 선택하여 학습하도록 하였다. 즉, 기존의 웹 기반 코스웨어의 장점을 살리면서 좀더 학습자에 맞는 웹 기반 코스웨어를 개발하여 적용하였다. 이러한 결과 구성주의 학습이론을 적용한 코스웨어가 학습자 중심의 능동적인 학습을 통해 학습 성취도를 높여주는 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this paper is to study the operational skills of apparatuses in observation and experiments a point of view of the teaching-learning guidance of the middle school science. In order to understand the actual condition of the field learner, the achivment levels of learner have been investigated on the operational skills of apparatuses, observation and experiments through 1120 students of 16 middle schools. The results showed that there were large differences at each item and especially, in animate natural part(physics and chemistry), the handling ability was very low to average 33 percentage. By the result of analyzing the actual condition of the experiment and field science from the question of 114 science teachers who work in 40 middle schools in P distriet. it has been recognized that though the lessons through the experiments stimulate the motivation of learning, it couldn't be mamaged efficently because of all the educational conditions. And it was revealed that the major part of Experiment was performed not by student who is subjective in the course of learning but by teacher through experiments.
