Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMX) has been used for the treatment of urinary tract infections, but increasing resistance to TMP-SMX has been reported. In this study, we analyzed TMP-SMX resistance genes and their relatedness with integrons and insertion sequence common regions (ISCRs) in uropathogenic gram-negative bacilli. Consecutive nonduplicate TMP-SMX nonsusceptible clinical isolates of E. coli, K. pneumoniae, Acinetobacter spp., and P. aeruginosa were collected from urine. The minimal inhibitory concentration was determined by Etest. TMP-SMX resistance genes (sul and dfr), integrons, and ISCRs were analyzed by PCR and sequencing. A total of 45 E. coli (37.8%), 15 K. pneumoniae (18.5%), 12 Acinetobacter spp. (70.6%), and 9 Pseudomonas aeruginosa (30.0%) isolates were found to be resistant to TMP-SMX. Their MICs were all over 640. In E. coli and K. pneumoniae, sul1 and dfr genes were highly prevalent in relation with integron1. The sul3 gene was detected in E. coli. However, in P. aeruginosa and Acinetobacter spp., only sul1 was prevalent in relation with class 1 integron; however, dfr was not detected and sul2 was less prevalent than in Enterobacteriaceae. ISCR1 and/or ISCR2 were detected in E. coli, K. pneumoniae, and Acinetobacter spp. but the relatedness with TMP-SMX resistance genes was not prominent. ISCR14 was detected in six isolates of E. coli. In conclusion, resistance mechanisms for TMP-SMX were different between Enterobacteriaceae and glucose non-fermenting gram-negative bacilli. Class 1 integron was widely disseminated in uropathogenic gram-negative baciili, so the adoption of prudent use of antimicrobial agents and the establishment of a surveillance system are needed.

The purpose of this study is to analyze and compare the effectiveness of elementary in e-Learning video lessons. In an elementary school where the educational videos are frequently used, the learning about video materials is important but it is difficult to judge all students by a teacher in a classroom. In order to solve the problems of the field, In the fifth-grade elementary school social studies class, learning using video material was conducted by using the online learning judgment system for the experimental group, and learning using video material was conducted by the traditional method for the controlled group. As a result of the experiment, the class using the online learning judgment system was effective in enhancing the learner 's academic achievement. It also positively influenced learners' learning satisfaction. Teachers' satisfaction was not statistically significant because of the small number of teachers. However, The mean value of the teachers' satisfaction in the experimental group was high and the deviation was small.

This paper discusses algorithmic properties of a class of complementarity programs involving strictly diagonally isotone and off-diagonally isotone functions, i. e., functions whose Jacobian matrices have positive diagonal elements and nonnegative off-diagonal elements, A typical traffic equilibrium under elastic demands is cast into this class. Algorithmic properties of these complementarity problems, when a Jacobi-type iteration is applied, are investigated. It is shown that with a properly chosen starting point the generated sequence are decomposed into two converging monotonic subsequences. This and related will be useful in developing solution procedures for this class of complementarity problems.

Necessary and sufficient conditions for a radical class of rings to satisfy the polynomial equation $\rho$(R[x]) = ($\rho$(R))[x] have been investigated. The interrelationsh of polynomial equation, Amitsur property and polynomial extensibility is given. It has been shown that complete analogy of R.E. Propes result for radicals of matrix rings is not possible for polynomial rings.

A nonparametric procedure for testing exponentially against used better than aged in expectation (UBAE) class of life distributions is presented. We construct a test statistics based on scaled total time on test (TTT)-transformation, to test exponentiality against UBAE class of life distributions. The distribution of the statistic is investigated via simulation. Practical applications of the proposed test are presented.

This paper proposes, for the first time, the design of class I pull-push power amplifier. With the new design, the output power is increased by four times when compared to conventional single-end class I connection amplifier with the same supply voltage. The performance of the proposed amplifier is verified by with a 100-kHz power amplifier constructed using general-purpose NPN transistors.

In this paper, we prove that the Hilbert 2-class field tower of an imaginary quadratic function field $F=k({\sqrt{D})$ is infinite if $r_2({\mathcal{C}}(F))=4$ and exactly one monic irreducible divisor of D is of odd degree, except for one type of $R{\acute{e}}dei$ matrix of F. We also compute the density of such imaginary quadratic function fields F.

In this paper, we construct explicitly an infinite family of primes P with h^±_P ≡ 0 (mod q^{deg P}), where h^±_P are the plus and minus parts of the divisor class number of the P-th cyclotomic function field over 𝔽_q(T). By using this result and Dirichlet's theorem, we give a condition of A, M ∈ 𝔽_q[T] such that there are infinitely many primes P satisfying with h^±_P ≡ 0 (mod p^e) and P ≡ A (mod M).

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the current data regarding age, sex, and Angle Classification of Korean orthodontic patients and influence of these factors on the tendency to undergo extraction and orthognathic surgery. Methods: The recent trends of Korean orthodontic patients were assessed using questionnaire survey. The questionnaires were e-mailed to orthodontists who met the study criteria; 58% of the orthodontists opened the e-mails, and 27.7% replied to the e-mails. In all, the medical records of 11,340 patients who underwent orthodontic treatment at private clinics and small dental hospitals in Korea were analyzed. Results: The percentage of female patients in the study sample was 69.6%, and the average age of the patients was 19.87 years. The percentage of patients who were older than 19 years was 50.2%. Class II and Class III malocclusions were noted in 33.6% and 23.6% of patients, respectively. Extraction and orthognathic surgery were performed in 60.4% and 6.9% of patients, respectively. Conclusions: The results showed that there were a high percentage of adult, Class II malocclusion and extraction patients in private practices and small dental hospitals during the study period. Further, a relatively high proportion of adult patients opted to undergo orthognathic surgery.
