Injection of bovine growth hormone (bGH) to lactating dairy cows increases milk yield and yields of milk components including fat. It is generally believed that most of the anabolic effects derived from bGH in animal tissues are primarily mediated by IGF-1. IGF-1 is a strong anabolic peptide in the plasma of animals and exerts mitogenic and metabolic effects on target cells. Contrary to most protein hormones, the majority of IGF-1 in circulation is bound to the binding proteins (IGFBPs) which are known to be responsible for modifying the biological actions of IGF-1, thus making determinations of IGF-1 actions more difficult. On the other hand, fat is a major milk component and the greatest energy source in milk. Currently, the fat content of milk is one of the major criteria used in determining milk prices. It has been known that flavor and texture of dairy products are mainly affected by milk fat and its composition. Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) is the rate limiting enzyme which catalyzes the conversion of acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA for fatty acid synthesis in 1ipogenic tissues of animals including bovine lactating mammary glands. In addition to the short-tenn hormonal regulation of ACC by changes in the catalytic efficiency per enzyme molecule brought about by phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of the enzyme, the long-term hormonal regulation of ACC by changes in the number of enzyme molecules plays an essential role in control of ACC and lipogenesis. Insulin, at supraphysiological concentrations, binds to IGF-1 receptors, thereby mimicking the biological effects of IGF-1. The receptors for insulin and IGF-1 share structural and functional homology. Furthermore, epidermal growth factor increased ACC activity in rat hepatocytes and adipocytes. Therefore, it can be assumed that IGF-1 mediating bGH action may increase milk fat production by stimulation ACC with phosphorylation (short term) and/or increasing amounts of the enzyme proteins (long term). Consequently, the main purpose of this paper is to give the readers not only the galactopoietic effects of bGH, but also the insight of bGH action with regard to stimulating milk fat synthesis from the whole body to the molecular levels.

Oxygen is the final acceptor of electron transport from fat and carbohydrate oxidation, which is the rate-limiting factor for cellular ATP production. Under altitude hypoxia condition, energy reliance on anaerobic glycolysis increases to compensate for the shortfall caused by reduced fatty acid oxidation [1]. Therefore, training at altitude is expected to strongly influence the human metabolic system, and has the potential to be designed as a non-pharmacological or recreational intervention regimen for correcting diabetes or related metabolic problems. However, most people cannot accommodate high altitude exposure above 4500 M due to acute mountain sickness (AMS) and insulin resistance corresponding to a increased levels of the stress hormones cortisol and catecholamine [2]. Thus, less stringent conditions were evaluated to determine whether glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity could be improved by moderate altitude exposure (below 4000 M). In 2003, we and another group in Austria reported that short-term moderate altitude exposure plus endurance-related physical activity significantly improves glucose tolerance (not fasting glucose) in humans [3,4], which is associated with the improvement in the whole-body insulin sensitivity [5]. With daily hiking at an altitude of approximately 4000 M, glucose tolerance can still be improved but fasting glucose was slightly elevated. Individuals vary widely in their response to altitude challenge. In particular, the improvement in glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity by prolonged altitude hiking activity is not apparent in those individuals with low baseline DHEA-S concentration [6]. In addition, hematopoietic adaptation against altitude hypoxia can also be impaired in individuals with low DHEA-S. In short-lived mammals like rodents, the DHEA-S level is barely detectable since their adrenal cortex does not appear to produce this steroid [7]. In this model, exercise training recovery under prolonged hypoxia exposure (14-15% oxygen, 8 h per day for 6 weeks) can still improve insulin sensitivity, secondary to an effective suppression of adiposity [8]. Genetically obese rats exhibit hyperinsulinemia (sign of insulin resistance) with up-regulated baseline levels of AMP-activated protein kinase and AS160 phosphorylation in skeletal muscle compared to lean rats. After prolonged hypoxia training, this abnormality can be reversed concomitant with an approximately 50% increase in GLUT4 protein expression. Additionally, prolonged moderate hypoxia training results in decreased diffusion distance of muscle fiber (reduced cross-sectional area) without affecting muscle weight. In humans, moderate hypoxia increases postprandial blood distribution towards skeletal muscle during a training recovery. This physiological response plays a role in the redistribution of fuel storage among important energy storage sites and may explain its potent effect on changing body composition. Conclusion: Prolonged moderate altitude hypoxia (rangingfrom 1700 to 2400 M), but not acute high attitude hypoxia (above 4000 M), can effectively improve insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance for humans and antagonizes the obese phenotype in animals with a genetic defect. In humans, the magnitude of the improvementvaries widely and correlates with baseline plasma DHEA-S levels. Compared to training at sea-level, training at altitude effectively decreases fat mass in parallel with increased muscle mass. This change may be associated with increased perfusion of insulin and fuel towards skeletal muscle that favors muscle competing postprandial fuel in circulation against adipose tissues.

버섯은 생육에 적합한 온도 및 수분이 유지되면 자연 상태에서도 원활하게 발생할 수 있지만 이러한 기간은 1년중 극히 일부에 지나지 않는다. 따라서 오늘날 시장에 유통되는 버섯은 대부분 인공적으로 조절된 환경에서 생산된 것으로 볼 수 있다. 기존 연구자들의 보고에 의하면 버섯재배사 내부의 온도 및 습도에 대한 불균일성이 큰 것으로 알려져 있고, 이를 극복하기 위한 다양한 기술 들이 개발되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 느타리버섯 균상재배사 내부에 공기를 위로 토출 할 수 있는 대류팬을 설치하고, 이에 따른 느타리버섯 균상재배사 내부의 위치에 따른 온도 및 습도 균일성을 향상하기 위하여 수행하였다. 시험기간 동안의 외기온도는 $5.2{\sim}20.4^{\circ}C$까지 변화하였고, 외기 상대습도는 40~100%까지 변화하였다. 외기온도의 변화에 영향을 받아 버섯재배사 내부의 온도도 $13.3{\sim}18.4^{\circ}C$ 변화하였지만 동일한 기록 시간의 균상 위치에 따른 온도 차이는 $0.2{\sim}1.3^{\circ}C$로 매우 균일하게 유지되는 것으로 나타났다. 버섯재배사 내부의 상대습도도외기 상대습도 변화에 영향을 받아 82~96%로 변화하였지만 동일한 기록시간의 균상 위치에 따른 상대습도 변화의 차이는 2~7%로 나타났고, $CO_2$ 농도 변화는 약 575~731ppm으로 목표로 하는 1,000ppm 이하로 유지되는 것으로 나타나 내부 대류팬의 설치로 버섯재배사 내부의 균일한 환경관리가 가능한 것으로 나타났다.

Recently, firms are operating a number of teams to accomplish organizational performance. Especially, ad hoc teams like proposal preparation team are quite different from permanent teams like R&D team in the sense of how the team forms network structure and deals with organizational learning culture and knowledge management participation efforts. Moreover, depending on the team characteristics, individual creativity will differ from each other, which will lead to organizational performance eventually. Previous studies in the field of creativity are lacking in this issue. So main objectives of this study are organized as follows. First, the issue of how to improve individual creativity and organizational performance will be analyzed empirically. This issue will be performed depending on team characteristics such as ad hoc team and permanent team. Antecedents adopted for this research objective are cultural and knowledge factors such as organizational learning culture, and knowledge management participation. Second, the network structure such as degree centrality, and structural hole is used to analyze its influence on individual creativity and organizational performance. SI (System Integration) companies are facing severely tough requirements from clients to submit very creative proposals. Also, R&D teams are widely accepted as relatively creative teams because their responsibilities are focused on suggesting innovative techniques to make their companies remain competitive in the market. SI teams are usually ad hoc, while R&D teams are permanent on an average. By taking advantage of these characteristics of the two kinds of teams, we will prove the validity of the proposed research questions. To obtain the survey data, we accessed 7 SI teams (74 members), and 6 R&D teams (63 members), collecting 137 valid questionnaires. PLS technique was applied to analyze the survey data. Results are as follows. First, in case of SI teams, organizational learning culture affects individual creativity significantly. Meanwhile, knowledge management participation has a significant influence on Individual creativity for the permanent teams. Second, degree centrality Influences individual creativity significantly in case of SI teams. This is comparable with the fact that structural hole has a significant impact on individual creativity for the R&D teams. Practical implications can be summarized as follows: First, network structure of ad hoc team should be designed differently from one of permanent team. Ad hoc team is supposed to show a high creativity in a rather short period, implying that network density among team members should be improved, and those members with high degree centrality should be encouraged to show their Individual creativity and take a leading role by allowing them to get heavily engaged in knowledge sharing and diffusion. In contrast, permanent team should be designed to take advantage of structural hole instead of focusing on network density. Since structural hole can be utilized very effectively in the permanent team, strong arbitrators' merits in the permanent team will increase and therefore helps increase both network efficiency and effectiveness too. In this way, individual creativity in the permanent team is likely to lead to organizational creativity in a seamless way. Second, way of Increasing individual creativity should be sought from the perspective of organizational culture and knowledge management. Organization is supposed to provide a cultural atmosphere in which Innovative idea suggestions and active discussion among team members are encouraged. In this way, trust builds up among team members, facilitating the formation of organizational learning culture. Third, in the ad hoc team, organizational looming culture should be built such a way that individual creativity can grow up fast in a rather short period. Since time is tight, reasonable compensation policy, leader's Initiatives, and learning culture formation should be done In a short period so that mutual trust is built among members quickly, and necessary knowledge and information can be learnt rapidly. Fourth, in the permanent team, it should be kept in mind that the degree of participation in knowledge management determines level of Individual creativity. Therefore, the team ought to facilitate knowledge circulation process such as knowledge creation, storage, sharing, utilization, and learning among team members, which will lead to team performance. In this way, firms must control knowledge networks in permanent team and ad hoc team in a way mentioned above so that individual creativity as well as team performance can be maximized.

해수면 온도(Sea surface temperature, SST)는 지구시스템에서 해양의 순환과 생태계에 큰 영향을 주는 요소이다. 지구온난화로 한반도 근해 해수면 온도에 변화가 생기면서 이상 수온(고수온, 저수온) 현상이 발생하여 해양생태계와 수산업 피해를 지속적으로 발생시키고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 한반도 근해 해수면 온도를 예측하여 이상 수온 현상 예측으로 피해를 예방하는 방법론을 제안한다. 연구 지역은 한반도 근해로 설정하여 동시간대 해수면 온도 데이터를 사용하기 위해 Europe Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF)의 ERA5 자료를 사용하였다. 연구방법으로는 해수면 온도 데이터의 시계열 특징을 고려하여 딥러닝 모델 중 시계열 데이터 예측에 특화된 Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) 알고리즘을 이용하였다. 예측 모델은 1~7일 이후 한반도 근해 해수면 온도를 예측하고 고수온(High water temperature, HWT) 혹은 저수온(Low water temperature, LWT) 현상을 예측한다. 해수면 온도 예측 정확도 평가를 위해 결정계수(Coefficient of determination, R²), 평균제곱근 편차(Root Mean Squared Error, RMSE), 평균 절대 백분율 오차(Mean Absolute Percentage Error, MAPE) 지표를 사용하였다. 예측 모델의 여름철(JAS) 1일 예측 결과는 R²=0.996, RMSE=0.119℃, MAPE=0.352% 이고, 겨울철(JFM) 1일 예측 결과는 R²=0.999, RMSE=0.063℃, MAPE=0.646% 이었다. 예측한 해수면 온도를 이용하여 이상 수온 예측 정확도 평가를 F1 Score로 수행하였다(여름철(2021/08/05) 고수온 예측 결과 F1 Score=0.98, 겨울철(2021/02/19) 저수온 예측 결과 F1 Score=1.0). 예측 기간이 증가하면서 예측 모델이 해수면 온도를 과소추정하는 경향을 보여주었고, 이로 인해 이상 수온 예측 정확도 또한 낮아졌다. 따라서, 향후 예측 모델의 과소추정 원인을 분석하고 예측 정확도 향상을 위한 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 한강수계의 팔당호에 3차원 시변화 모델을 적용하였으며, 상이한 강우 및 유량 조건에서의 실측자료를 이용하여 적용 모델의 재현성을 검토하였다. 모델의 보정 및 검증 결과 모델 예측값은 실측간과 적절한 일치를 보였으며, 재현성이 검토된 모델 결과를 바탕으로 팔당호의 수온, 유속, 체류시간의 시 공간적 분포와 유입지류의 흐름 특성을 분석하였다. 팔당호 수표면에서는 일반적으로 소내섬 남쪽 수역에서 다른 수역에 비해 다소 높은 수온과 낮은 유속이 유지되는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 소내섬 남쪽 수역과 남한강 수역 하류 부분에서는 연중 대부분의 기간 동안 국지적으로 긴 체류시간이 유지되고 있으며, 이는 이들 수역에서 블로킹으로 인한 상류 방향으로의 역류가 발생하기 때문인 것으로 분석되었다. 한편 팔당호에서는 초여름과 겨울에 약한 수온성층이 형성되며, 초봄과 가을에는 성층이 파괴되어 전 수층에서 유사한 수온을 보이나 댐 방류의 영향으로 인해 수체의 수직 혼합은 발생하지 않았다. 집중 강우가 발생하는 여름철에는 유입 및 유출량의 급격한 증가로 인해 수온 성층이 파괴되며, 전 수역에서 체류시간이 크게 감소하는 것으로 예측되었다. 이러한 수체 흐름 하에서 남, 북한강 그리고 경안천은 각각 다른 방향으로부터 팔당호로 유입된 후 구별된 흐름 경로를 통해 댐까지 이동하게 되며, 특히 경안천은 소내섬 남쪽 수역에서 유입된 후 댐에 이르기까지 일반적으로 소내섬 서쪽 호반을 따라 표층을 중심으로 이동하는 것으로 분석되었다. 본 연구 결과 팔당호는 수온, 유속 그리고 체류시간의 시 공간적 변화가 매우 심하며, 수온 성층의 발달이 미약하나 유입지류의 수온 차이로 인해 밀도류가 형성되는 것으로 나타났다.

면역세포는 외부 병원체 감염, 자연적 순환에 대하여 형태변화를 수반한다. T세포는 염증, 면역 감시, 이동, 그리고 혈관통과를 위해 uropod, filopodia, lamellipodia, 및 microvilli를 생산한다. 짧고 손가락 처럼 생긴 microvilli는 순환하고 있는 포유동물 면역세포 표면을 덮고 있다. 단핵세포와 호중구의 세포표면은 많이 다른데 membrane ruffle을 함유하고 있다. 본 연구는, T세포의 microvilli에 대하여 actin cytoskeleton과의 연관성에 대하여 탐구하였다. Actin 파괴자인 cytochalasin D 처리 후 SEM관찰을 통해서, Jurkat T세포의 microvilli를 보면 빠르게 사라지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이와는 대조적으로 RhoA의 activator인 PMA는 LIMK와 cofilin 신호 전달을 통해서 microvilli 두께가 확장되는 것을 관찰 하였다. 또한, cytochalasin D 처리는 EL4 T세포의 극성을 사라지게 하는 것으로 보아 F-actin은 T세포의 극성 유지에도 영향을 미친다. 이상의 결과는 Actin cytoskeleton은 T세포에서 microvilli와 극성 유지에 관여하고 있는 것을 제시한다.

The purpose of this study was to assess the ability of quantitative Tl-201 tomography to identify and localize coronary artery disease (CAD). The study population consisted of 41 patients (31 males, 10 females; mean age $55{\pm}7$ yr) including 14 with prior myocardial infarction who underwent both exercise Tl-201 myocardium SPECT and coronary angiography for the evaluation of chest pain. From the short axis and vertical long axis tomograms, stress extent polar maps were generated by Cedars-Sinai Medical Center program, and the % stress defect extent (SDE) was quantified for each coronary artery territory. For the purpose of this study, the coronary circulation was divided into 6 arterial segments, and the "myocardial ischemic score" (MIS) was calculated from the coronary angiogram. Sensitivity for the detection of CAD ($\geq50%$ coronary stenosis by angiography) by angiography) by stress extent polar map was 95% in single vessel disease, and 100% in double and triple vessel deseases. Overall sensitivity was 97%. Sensitivity and specificity for the detection of individual diseased vessels were, respectively, 87% and 90% for the left anterior descending artery (LAD), 36% and 93% for the left circumflex artery (LCX), and 71% and 70% for the right coronary artery (RCA). Concordance for the detection of individual diseased vessels between the coronary angiography and stress polar map was fair for the LAD (kappa=0.70), and RCA (kappa=0.41) lesions, whereas it was poor for the LCX lesions (kappa : 0.32). There were siginificant correlations between the MIS and SDE in LAD (rs=0.56, p=0.0027), and RCA territory (rs=0.60, p=0.0094). No significant correlation was found in LCX territory. When total vascular territories were combined, there was a significant correlation between the MIS and SDE (rs=0.42, p=0.0116). In conclusion, the quantitative analysis of Tl-201 tomograms appears to be accurate for determining the presence and location of CAD.

Purpose: Tumor ablation and traumatic intractable ulceration of the plantar surface of the foot results in skin and soft tissue defects of the weight-bearing sole. Simple skin grafting is not sufficient for reconstruction of the weight-bearing areas. Instead, the island medial plantar flap (instep flap) and distally-based island medial plantar flap was used for proper reconstruction of the weight bearing area. However, there are some disadvantages. In particular, an island medial plantar flap has a short pedicle limiting the mobility of the flap and the distally-based island medial plantar flap is based on a very small vessel. We investigated whether good results could be obtained using a reverse island medial plantar flap based on the lateral plantar vessel as a solution to the above limitations. Methods: Three patients with malignant melanoma were cared for in our tertiary hospital. The tumors involved the lateral forefoot, the postero-lateral heel, and the medial forefoot area. We designed and harvested the flap from the medial plantar area, dissected the lateral and medial plantar artery and vena comitans, and clamped and cut the vessel 1 cm proximal to the branch from the posterior tibial artery and vena comitans. The medial plantar nerve fascicles of these flaps anastomosed to the sural nerve, the 5th interdigital nerve, and the 1st interdigital nerve of each lesion. The donor sites were covered with skin grafting. Results: The mean age of the 3 subjects was 64.7 years (range, 57 - 70 years). Histologically, all cases were lentiginous malignant melanomas. The average size of the lesion was $5.3\;cm^2$. The average size of the flap was $33.1\;cm^2$. The flap color and circulation were intact during the early postoperative period. There was no evidence of flap necrosis, hematomas or infection. All patients had a normal gait after the surgery. Sensory return progressively improved. Conclusion: Use of an island medial plantar flap based on the lateral plantar vessel to the variable weight-bearing sole is a simple but useful procedure for the reconstruction of any difficult lesion of the weight-bearing sole.
