  • Objectives: Several preclinical and observational studies have shown that anti-diabetic medications (ADMs) may modify the risk of lung cancer. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis evaluating the effect of metformin, sulfonylureas (SUs), thiazolidinediones (TZDs), and insulin on the risk of lung cancer in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Materials and Methods: We conducted a systematic search of Pubmed and Web of Science, up to August 20, 2013. We also searched the Conference Proceedings Citation Index (CPCI) and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) for abstracts from major meetings. Fixed or random effect pooled measures were selected based on heterogeneity among studies, which was evaluated using Q test and the I2 of Higgins and Thompson. Meta-regression was used to explore the sources of between-study heterogeneity. Publication bias was analyzed by Begg's funnel plot and Egger's regression test. Associations were assessed by odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: A total of 15 studies (11 cohort, 4 case-control) were included in this meta-analysis. In observational studies no significant association between metformin (n=11 studies; adjusted OR=0.99, 95%CI: 0.87-1.12), SUs (n=5 studies; adjusted OR=0.98, 95%CI: 0.79-1.22), or TZDs (n=7 studies; adjusted OR=0.92, 95%CI: 0.75-1.13), insulin (n=6 studies; adjusted OR=1.13, 95%CI: 0.79-1.62) use and risk of developing lung cancer was noted. There was considerable inherent heterogeneity between studies not explained by study design, setting, or location. Conclusions: Meta-analysis of existing studies does not support a protective or harmful association between ADMs use and risk of lung cancer in patients with DM. There was considerable heterogeneity across studies, and future, well-designed, prospective studies would be required for better understanding of any association.

  • We have detected deoxynivalenol(DON) using a metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect-transistor(MOSFET)-based biosensor. The MOSFET-based biosensor is fabricated by a standard complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor(CMOS) process, and the biosensor's electrical characteristics were investigated. The output of the sensor was stabilized by employing a reference electrode that applies a fixed bias to the gate. Au which has a chemical affinity for thiol was used as the gate metal to immobilize a self-assembled monolayer(SAM) made of 16-mercaptohexadecanoic acid(MHDA). The SAM was used to immobilize anti-deoxynivalenol antibody. The carboxyl group of the SAM was bound to the anti- deoxynivalenol antibody. Anti-deoxynivalenol antibody and deoxynivalenol were bound by an antigen-antibody reaction. In this study, it is confirmed that the MOSFET-based biosensor can detect deoxynivalenol at concentrations as low as 0.1 ${\mu}g$/ml. The measurements were performed in phosphate buffered saline(PBS; pH 7.4) solution. To verify the interaction among the SAM, antibody, and antigen, surface plasmon resonance(SPR) measurements were performed.

  • Antagonism between the Youngnam and Honam regions of Korea as expressed by adolescents and their parents was studied in 167 parent-adolescent pairs (total 334) of Youngnam residents. Adolescents were middle school students 71 (42.5%) and high school students 96 (57.5%), 90 boys (53.9%), 77 girls (46.1%). The instruments were subjects' self-reported social distance and stereotypes. Data were analyzed by t-test, paired t-test, Pearson's Correlation, and hierarchical regression. Major findings were that : (1) adolescents' social distance was positively associated with adolescent and parent negative stereotypes. (2) Adolescent positive/negative stereotypes were positively associated with parent positive/negative stereotypes. (3) Adolescent negative stereotypes exerted an indirect effect on social distance, controlled by parents' negative stereotypes.

  • This study investigated perceptions of early childhood teachers about children of Female International Marriage Migrants(FIMM) and their classroom conditions. Data was collected from 117 teachers of kindergartens and day care centers in Jeonnam Province using a 28-item inventory composed of classroom conditions and perceptions of teachers about the children of FIMM. Results showed that over 70% of teachers' students were children of FIMM. Children's traits included poor language skills, confusion of identity, and socio-emotional problems due to passive interaction with peers. Programs specifically for FIMM and their children are rare. Teachers considered difficulties teaching children of FIMM are due to lack of economic support, hardship of managing multicultural curriculum, restrictions in application of that curriculum, and institutional inertia.

  • 전계흡수형 반도체 광도파로에서 흡수된 빛에 의해 발생된 광전류는 전파되는 파장에 따라 Fabry-Perot 모드의 간섭패턴을 나타냄을 보이고, 이로부터 인가전압에 따른 흡수계수의 변화를 측정할 수 있는 방법을 제시하였다. 광전류 신호는 파장에 따라 공명 반공명을 반복해서 나타내며 그 진폭은 흡수계수의 크기에 의존하므로 전계에 따른 흡수계수의 변화량을 측정 할 수 있었고, 1.55 $\mu\textrm{m}$ 파장에서 역전압 1.5V 인가시 bulk in GaAsP의 흡수계수 변화는 대략 157cm-1임을 알 수 있었다.

  • In this paper, we showed the erosion characteristic of MgO protector layer releated to lifetime of plasma display panel(PDP). We observed MgO erosion characteristic as a functions of deposition conditions, pressure and distance between electrodes. In RIE condition of Xe gas, the lowest erosion rate appears in the conditions of no heating bias voltage -30V and pressure 5mtorr. In general, as deposition rate increases, erosion rate decreases. In real panel, when the gap distance between electrodes is narrow and the pressure is low, the heavy plasma damage appears. Also, the surfaces between electrodes and on the bus electrode are extremely damaged.

  • In this study, low-cost, high-speed deposition, excellent processability, high mechanical strength and electrical conductivity, chemical stability and corrosion resistance of stainless steel to meet the obsessive-compulsive (0.1 mm or less) were selected CrN thin film. new price reduction to sputter deposition causes - the possibility of sublimation source for inductively coupled plasma Cr rods were attempts by DC bias. 0.6 Pa Ar inductively coupled plasmas of 2.4 MHz, 500 W, keeping Cr Rod DC bias power 30 W (900 V, 0.02 A) is applied, $N_2$ flow rate of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 sccm by varying the characteristics of were analyzed. $N_2$ flow rate increases, decreases and $Cr_2N$, CrN was found to increase. In addition to corrosion resistance and contact resistance, corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity was evaluated. corrosion current density than $N_2$ 0 sccm was sure to rise in all, $N_2$ 1 sccm at $4.390{\times}10^{-7}$ (at 0.6 V) $A{\cdot}cm^{-2}$, respectively. electrical conductivity process results when $N_2$ 1 sccm 28.8 $m{\Omega}/cm^2$ with the lowest value of the contact resistance was confirmed that came out. The OES (SQ-2000) and QMS (CPM-300) using a reactive deposition process to add $N_2$ to maintain a uniform deposition rate was confirmed that.

  • Objectives: The aim of this study was to perform a meta analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that applied Opae-san to peptic ulcer. Methods: The databases NDSL, RISS, KISS, KISTI, Oasis, DBpia, Cochrane, EMBASE, Pubmed, and CNKI were searched to identify RCTs that evaluated the therapeutic response to Opae-san on peptic ulcer. The selected studies were assessed using Cochrane Group's risk of bias tool. Results: 12 RCTs were selected from a total of 312 identified. Combined therapies of Opae-san plus triple therapy were superior to only triple therapy in achieving the effective rate (risk ratio=1.26, 95% CI: 1.17 to 1.35, p<0.001, I2=0%), the helicobacter pylori eradication rate (risk ratio=1.23, 95% CI: 1.12 to 1.34, p<0.001, I2=7%) and the recurrence rate (risk ratio=0.31, 95% CI: 0.12 to 0.82, p=0.02, I2=0%). But only Opae-san was not superior in achieving the effective rate compared to anti gastric secretion drugs. Conclusions: The current evidence suggests that combined therapies of Opae-san plus triple therapy yield a higher effective rate, and helicobacter pylori eradication rate and a lower recurrence rate. However, in most of these studies, it is difficult to evaluate the bias and therefore better designed studies are needed.
