  • IscU, the iron-sulfur (Fe-S) cluster scaffold protein, is an essential protein for biogenesis of Fe-S clusters. Previous studies showed that IscU manifests a metamorphic structural feature; at least two structural states, namely the structured state (S-state) and the disordered state (D-state), interconverting in a physiological condition, was observed. Moreover, subsequent studies demonstrated that the metamorphic flexibility of IscU is important for its Fe-S cluster assembly activity as well as for an efficient interaction with various partner proteins. Although solution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has been a useful tool to investigate this protein, the detailed molecular mechanism that sustains the structural heterogeneity of IscU is still unclear. To tackle this issue, we applied a high-pressure NMR (HP-NMR) technique to the IscU variant, IscU(I8K), which shows an increased population of the S-state. We found that the equilibrium between the S- and D-state was significantly perturbed by pressure application, and the specific regions of IscU exhibited more sensitivity to pressure than the other regions. Our results provide novel insights to appreciate the dynamic behaviors of IscU and the related versatile functionality.

  • The present study was conducted to explore relationships between anemia and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urine microalbumin/creatinine ratio (uACR) in Korean adults with or without metabolic syndrome (MetS). The data of 4,943 adults aged ≥20 years who participated in KNHNES V-3 (2012) were analyzed. In the non-MetS group, the odds ratio (OR) for anemia of those with a decreased eGFR {eGFR<60 mL/min/1.73 m2, 3.85 (95% confidence interval [CI], 2.03~7.30)} was significant as was the OR of those with decreased eGFR plus elevated uACR (eGFR<60 mL/min/1.73 m2 and uACR≥30 mg/g, 5.81 [95% CI, 2.60~13.02]). In the MetS group, ORs for anemia for those with an elevated uACR (2.18 [95% CI, 1.11~4.27]), a decreased eGFR (3.74 [95% CI, 1.11~12.55]), or a decreased eGFR plus an elevated uACR (16.79 [95% CI, 5.93~47.57]) were significant. In conclusion, in non-MetS, anemia was associated with a low eGFR, whereas in MetS, anemia was associated with a low eGFR and an elevated uACR. In addition, the OR for anemia was greatly increased when eGFR was diminished and uACR was elevated regardless of MetS and MetS status.

  • In this paper, we introduce SR-additive codes as a generalization of the classes of ${\mathbb{Z}}_{p^r}{\mathbb{Z}}_{p^s}$ and ${\mathbb{Z}}_2{\mathbb{Z}}_2[u]$-additive codes, where S is an R-algebra and an SR-additive code is an R-submodule of $S^{\alpha}{\times}R^{\beta}$. In particular, the definitions of bilinear forms, weight functions and Gray maps on the classes of ${\mathbb{Z}}_{p^r}{\mathbb{Z}}_{p^s}$ and ${\mathbb{Z}}_2{\mathbb{Z}}_2[u]$-additive codes are generalized to SR-additive codes. Also the singleton bound for SR-additive codes and some results on one weight SR-additive codes are given. Among other important results, we obtain the structure of SR-additive cyclic codes. As some results of the theory, the structure of cyclic ${\mathbb{Z}}_2{\mathbb{Z}}_4$, ${\mathbb{Z}}_{p^r}{\mathbb{Z}}_{p^s}$, ${\mathbb{Z}}_2{\mathbb{Z}}_2[u]$, $({\mathbb{Z}}_2)({\mathbb{Z}}_2+u{\mathbb{Z}}_2+u^2{\mathbb{Z}}_2)$, $({\mathbb{Z}}_2+u{\mathbb{Z}}_2)({\mathbb{Z}}_2+u{\mathbb{Z}}_2+u^2{\mathbb{Z}}_2)$, $({\mathbb{Z}}_2)({\mathbb{Z}}_2+u{\mathbb{Z}}_2+v{\mathbb{Z}}_2)$ and $({\mathbb{Z}}_2+u{\mathbb{Z}}_2)({\mathbb{Z}}_2+u{\mathbb{Z}}_2+v{\mathbb{Z}}_2)$-additive codes are presented.

  • Bioassessment is the use of biosurvey data, most commonly for benthic macroinvertebrates and fish, to obtain information about the health of waters in a region. In rivers, bioassessment results are used to evaluate biological condition and trends, to establish relationships between stressors and impairments, and to guide and evaluate management actions.

  • Objectives The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of ultra sound (U/S) and chuna on lumbago by meridian muscle electrography (MMEG). we performed U/S and chuna on erector spinae muscle. Methods This study was carried out on 20 lumbago patients. 20 patients were divided into U/S group and chuna group. U/S group take treatment 5 minutes. Chuna group take treatment 10 minutes. After performing U/S and chuna treatment 6 times, we compared both in terms of VAS, ODI, ROM, root mean square (RMS) and special edge frequency (SEF) on erector spinae muscle. The effect of each treatments are compared by Wilcoxon's signed rank test. The difference of effect between both groups are compared by Wilcoxon's rank-sum test. Results 1. Both U/S group and chuna group showed significant improvement in VAS and ODI after treatment. 2. U/S group showed insignificant improvement in both RMS and SEF. 3. Chuna group showed significant improvement in SEF at left lower point and RMS at left upper point. 4. Both U/S group and chuna group showed insignificant improvement in ROM. 5. There are no significant differences between both groups except SEF at left upper point. Conclusions According to above results, we found out that performing U/S or chuna on erector spinae muscle has effect in terms of VAS and ODI. But, in terms of SEF, we found out different result for both side. And we can't found out effect in terms of RMS and ROM of L-spine.
