  • This study is to adjust the focus on the statistical survey about the rates of application for the 2005 Susi second semester admission to Universities in Daegu, Kyungbook. The decrease of population for university admission and the change of paradigm of selecting a field of specialization in university will have an adverse effect on ratios of admission. This is very important to the future of university in Daegu, Kyungbook.

  • Reiki is a form of energy therapy in which the therapist, with or without light touch, is believed to access universal energy sources that can strengthen the body's ability to heal itself, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain and stress. There is currently no licensing for Reiki nor, given its apparent low risk, is there likely to be. Reiki appears to be generally safe, and serious adverse effects have not been reported. So in this article provides coverage of how to use Reiki in oncology services.

  • Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) are produced during normal cellular function. ROS are very transient species due to their high chemical reactivity that leads to lipid peroxidation and oxidation of some enzyme, massive protein oxidation and degradation. Under normal conditions, antioxidant are substances that either directly or indirectly protect cells against adverse effects of ROS. Several biologically important compounds have been reported to have antioxidant functions. These incluce vitamin C, vitamin E, GSH, flavonoids. superoxidee dismutase(SOD), glutathione peroxidase(GPX) and catalase(CAT). (omitted)

  • Alopecia areata (AA) is an autoimmune-related disorder characterized by non-scarring hair loss in children. We report the case of a child who had AA after the fifth dose of rabies vaccine and summarized various potential mechanisms of vaccination induced AA. This case indicates that rabies vaccine might be a predisposition of AA by causing immune dysregulation.

  • Background : Sulfasalazine for treating ulcerative colitis has a clinical limitation due to its adverse effects. This case is about a patient with ulcerative colitis who could not tolerate sulfasalazine and was improved by Do-che decoction-based Korean medicine. Method and Results : Purulent and bloody diarrhea more than 20 times a day, mild fever, chilling and tenesmus were main symptoms of this patient who was diagnosed as ulcerative colitis 10 years ago. Do-che decoction-based Korean medicine which was recommended for purulent and bloody diarrhea in Dong-Ui-Bo-Gam, the classic literature of Traditional Korean Medicine was given to the patient for more than 1 month. After treatment, the frequency of purulent and bloody diarrhea, tenesmus and fever was decreased remarkably, and C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, white blood cell count and maximum temperature also dropped to the normal range. Conclusion : Do-che decoction-based Korean medicine has a potential effect and may be a alternative therapeutic option in patients with ulcerative colitis who cannot tolerate sulfasalazine due to its adverse effects.

  • In this paper, we propose a Fourier transform-based modified phasor estimation method to eliminate the adverse influence of exponentially decaying DC offsets. Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) is generally used to calculate the phasor of the fundamental frequency component in digital protective relays. However, the output of the DFT contains an error due to exponentially decaying DC offsets. Therefore, the decaying DC components should be taken into consideration when calculating the phasor of the fundamental frequency component of a relaying signal. In this paper, the error due to DC offsets in a DFT is calculated and eliminated using the outputs of quaternity DFT, so that the phasor of the fundamental component can be accurately estimated. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated by using computer-simulated signals and EMTP-generated signals. A performance evaluation showed that the proposed algorithm was not affected by system and fault conditions. Thus, the proposed algorithm can effectively suppress the adverse influence of DC offsets in a relaying signal.

  • This study was conducted to measure toxicity of 1-chloropropane (CAS No. : 540-54-5). According to the OECD Test Guideline 413 (Subchronic inhalation toxicity: 90-day study), SD rats were exposed to 0, 310, 1,250, and 5,000 ppm of 1-chloropropane for 6 h/day, 5 day/week for 13 weeks via whole-body inhalation. Mortality, clinical signs, body weights, food consumption, motor activity, ophthalmoscopy, hematology, serum chemistry, urinalysis, organ weights, gross and histopathological findings were compared between control and all tested groups. No mortality or remarkable clinical signs were examined during the study. No gross lesions or adverse effects on body weight, food consumption, motor activity, ophthalmoscopy, urinalysis, hematology, organ weights were observed in any of male or female rats in all tested groups. In serum biochemistry, glucose was significantly decreased in males of 1,250 and 5,000 ppm groups compared to control group in dose-dependent relationship. In histopathological examination, vacuolation of acinar cells was observed in pancreas of all male and female groups exposed to 1-chloropropane. In conclusion, no observable adverse effect level (NOAEL) was considered to be below 310 ppm/6 h/day, 5 day/week for rats.

  • In the study of general pharmacological action, we tested effect on spontaneous momentum, phenobarbital sleeping times, secretion of gastric juice, body temperature and movement of small intestine, etc. Using Pleurospermum kamtschaticum, Angelica tenuissima, Angelica gigas and Zanthoxylum schinifolium as samples to estimate adverse effects. In the study of general pharmacological action to estimate adverse effects, we observed no side effects of sample-treated groups against the control group.

  • Rhizobium phaseoli strains were isolated from the mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) nodules, and the most salt tolerant and high auxin producing rhizobial isolate N20 was evaluated in the presence and absence of L-tryptophan (L-TRP) for improving the growth and yield of mung bean under saline conditions in a pot experiment. Mung bean seeds were inoculated with peat-based inoculum and NP fertilizers were applied at 30-60 kg/ha, respectively. Results revealed that imposition of salinity reduced the growth and yield of mung bean. On the contrary, the separate application of L-TRP and Rhizobium appeared to mitigate the adverse effects of salt stress. However, their combined application produced more pronounced effects and increased the plant height (28.2%), number of nodules per plant (71.4%), plant biomass (61.2%), grain yield (65.3%), and grain nitrogen concentration (22.4%) compared with untreated control. The growth promotion effect might be due to higher auxin production in the rhizosphere and improved mineral uptake that reduced the adverse effects of salinity. The results imply that supplementing Rhizobium inoculation with L-TRP could be a useful approach for improving the growth and yield of mung bean under salt stress conditions.
