A 13-month-old, 3.3 kg castrated male Shih-tzu presented with right hindlimb lameness. The physical examination revealed atrophy of the right thigh muscles, hyperextension of the stifle joint and external torsion of the tibia. On the radiographic examination, patella alta and genu recurvatum were observed. A biapical deformity of the tibia and external torsion of the distal tibia were detected by computed tomography (CT). A three-dimensional (3D) printed bone model was designed and constructed for the preoperative plan prior to surgery. Rectus femoris muscle transposition, femoral shortening ostectomy and open wedge osteotomy of the distal tibia were performed using hybrid external skele/t0al fixation (hybrid-ESF). A dynamic stifle flexion apparatus was used to prevent recurrence of a quadriceps contracture (QC). Intense physiotherapy was administered postoperatively. The dog began to use the affected limb one week after surgery. Functional improvement in the affected limb was observed, and full weight-bearing was possible at 3 months after surgery. Union of the osteotomy lines was observed at 3 months, and the stifle joint was fully movable at 7 months after surgery. Regarding the treatments for QC, these methods may be excellent candidates, as they do not lead to severe damage to the limb or amputation.

Objective: To evaluate the prognosis of different ways of drainage for patients with obstructive jaundice caused by hilar cholangiocarcinoma. Materials and Methods: During the period of January 2006- March 2012, percutaneous transhepatic catheter drainage (PTCD)/ percutaneous transhepatic biliary stenting (PTBS) were performed for 89 patients. According to percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC), external drainage was selected if the region of obstruction could not be passed by guide wire or a metallic stent was inserted if it could. External drainage was the first choice if infection was diagnosed before the procedure, and a metallic stent was inserted in one week after the infection was under control. Selection by new infections, the degree of bilirubin decrease, the change of ALT, the time of recurrence of obstruction, and the survival time of patients as the parameters was conducted to evaluate the methods of different interventional treatments regarding prognosis of patients with hilar obstruction caused by hilar cholangiocarcinoma. Results: PTCD was conducted in 6 patients and PTBS in 7 (p<0.05). Reduction of bilirubin levels and ALT levels was obvious after the procedures (p<0.05). The average survival time with PTCD was 161 days and with PTBS was 243 days (p<0.05). Conclusions: With both drainage procedures for obstructive jaundice caused by hilar cholangiocarcinoma improvement in liver function was obvious. PTBS was found to be better than PTCD for prolonging the patient survival.

This study was performed to examine the effects of infrared (IR)/heated-air combination drying on some quality attributes of Korean white ginsengs. Ginseng roots were dried in a dryer where both the far infrared ray and heated-air are available as drying energy sources. Diametral shrinkage, external color, total saponin content, and ginsenosides and free sugar composition of the IR/heated-air combination dried ginsengs were measured and compared with those of commercial white ginseng products. The external color became lower in lightness and higher in saturation as the IR radiating plate temperature increased. IR/heated-air combination dried white ginsengs at IR plate temperature of 100$^{\circ}C$ was comparable to the commercial white ginseng products in color characteristics. Diametral shrinkage ratios ranged from 20 to 36% and appeared to be independent on the different drying methods. No definite evidence could be found whether the IR/heated-air combination drying and the conventional. hot-air drying practice resulted in white ginsengs having different ginsenoside contents and compositions. No conclusion could be made on whether the various drying treatments used in the study had effects on the free sugar contents and compositions of white ginsengs.

Skin aging is a natural phenomenon. There are internal and external factors of skin aging. The internal factor of skin aging is from the wearing down of the body over time. The external factors are more noticeable from habits such as smoking, excessive alcohol, malnutrition, and extended exposure to UV rays. Completely stopping skin from aging is impossible but one can slow down and treat external signs of skin aging. In western medicine, the following methods are used to reduce the appearance of skin aging: applying lotions and creams containing ingredients such as fruit acid, antioxidants, plant exracts, depigmentation, moisturizer, retinoids, and sun block; botulinum toxin injections; chemical peels, laser and other painful methods remove the top layer of skin to promote new skin growth; fillers are injected to increase soft tissue growth; surgery. In oriental medicine, the following methods are used: acupuncture into facial muscles which stimulates acupuncture point; applying topical treatments and cosmetics containing herbs are effective of preventing skin aging and wrinkles. Above all thing, medicine that helps maintain essence and blood in the skin can be fundamental.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the effects of the product display type on the consumers' purchase intention, attitude toward store, and revisit intention in the various mobile shopping situations. To test the hypothesis, between-subjects experiment with 3 mobile shopping situations (outdoor place, public transportation, commercial facilities) by 3 product display types (search, category, product) was conducted, and analyzed with ANCOVA (analysis of covariance). The result of the experiment shows there are no main effects of the mobile shopping situations and the product display types, but the interaction effects of the product display type and the mobile shopping situation on the purchase intention and the revisit intention are statistically significant. However the attitude toward the store is not affected by the treatments. Experiment results suggest that the positive consumer responses in terms of the purchase and revisit intention can be achieved when the product display is matched with the situation in the mobile shopping setting. Controlling consumers' evaluation on the product information and their experience of online shopping, we can take these effect as the results of match-up between the product display type and the situational factors surrounding mobile shopping. The result provides strong support for the location-based service in mobile shopping. Most of the mobile device can utilize the consumers' location which can be easily interpreted as the situational factors. With regard of the level of the external stimulation, the shopping service providers can offer the main interface with the right match with the consumers' situations. When the external stimulation level is high, they should provide the category display or product display in the target promotion in their mobile shopping apps. However if the target is on the way with the low external stimulation level, they should provide the search format as the main interface in their apps. More interestingly, this kind of manipulation does not affect the consumers' attitude toward the store according to our research result. Future research direction is discussed.

무우품종(Raphanus sativus L.) Saxa Nova에 시들음병을 일으키는 Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. raphani (FOR)에 대해 저항성을 증가시켜 방제효과를 얻기 위하여 식물성장을 증진시키는 것으로 알려진 Pseudomonas florescens WCS374 (WCS 374), P. putida RE10 (RE10) 및 Pseudomonas sp. EN41S (EN415)을 병원균처리 토양에 단독 또는 혼합처리하여 4주간 폿트배양한 후 무우에 나타나는 외부 및 내부병징을 조사하여 처리세균에 의한 병억제 효과를 측정하였다. 내부 및 외부병징으로 대조구는 각각 46.5% 및 21.1%를 나타내었고, RE10처리는 내외병징이 각각 12.2%와 7.8%로 발병이 억제됨을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 발병억제력이 높다고 알려진 WCS374는 내외 병징이 각각 45.6%와 27.8%로 나타났다. 한편 RE10균주를 WCS374 또는 EN415 균주와 혼합하여 처리할 경우 내외 병징이 10.0-22.1% 정도이었고 EN415와 혼합처리하면 7.8-20.2%의 병징을 나타낸다. FOR의 뿌리점유율은 뿌리에서 $2.4-5.1{\times}10^3/g$였고 토양내 분포수는 $0.7-1.3{\times}10^3/g$이었다. 대조구는 뿌리에서 $3.8{\times}10^3/g$였으며 RE10의 처리는 $2.9{\times}10^3/g$로 분포수가 적었고, 3종 세균의 혼합처리는 $5.1{\times}10^3/g$으로 많이 관찰되었으나, 처리간에 통계적 차이는 없었다. 토양에서 관찰된 FOR은 부리부분 보다 그 분포 수가 적었다. 처리된 3가지 세균은 뿌리에서 $2.3-4.0{\times}10^7/g$ 범위이고, 토양에서는 $0.9-1.8{\times}10^7/g$으로 뿌리에서 관찰된 수 보다 적게 분포하였다. 뿌리부분에서 대조구나 RE10의 처리토양은 형광성 Pseudomonas spp.의 분포수가 적고 처리간에는 통계적 차이를 나타냈으나, 토양조사에서 이세균은 큰 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 뿌리에 처리된 세균과 FOR의 분포수는 토양에 처리된 것과 대조하였을 때 많았으며, 이 실험 에 사용된 RE10과 EN415은 Fusarium시들음병에 대한 기주의 저항성을 유도하는 것으로 생각된다.

콩과식물의 염분 내성에 대한 질소원의 영향을 규명하기 위하여 4종 콩과식물을 선택하여 100 mM까지의 NaCl을 처리하였다. 염-민감성 종으로 알려진 대두와 팥은 염분 농도가 증가함에 따라 총 질소 함량이 점차 감소하는 반면, 아미노산 함량은 현저히 증가(100 mM NaCl 처리된 대두 무질소구의 경우 대조구의 4.7배)하여 높은 가용성/불용성 질소 비를 보였다. 대조적으로 염분 내성을 보이는 긴강남차와 자귀나무는 아미노산을 거의 함유하지 않았으며, 염 구배에 따라 총 질소 함량(특히 불용성 질소)이 점차 증가하는 양상을 보였다. 대두와 팥은 아미노산 중 asparagine (Asn)을 다량으로 함유하였으며, Asn은 이들 식물의 대표적인 질소의 수송 및 저장형태로서 염분 환경하에서 이들 식물의 세포질 내 삼투조절에 관여하는 것으로 생각된다. 염 환경에서 대두의 생장에 대한 질소원 및 농도의 영향은 5 mM NH₄NO₃-N 처리구에서 가장 높은 건물함량(10mM NaCl 처리구의 지상부건물함량의 경우 대조구의 약 1.5배)을 보였고, NH₄-N을 공급한 식물의 경우 질소를 공급하지 않은 대조구보다 생장이 저해되었으며, 처리 15일 이후 40과 80 mM NaCl 처리구에서 모두 고사하였다. 따라서 대두의 생장은 NH₄-N, 대조구, NO₃-N, NH₄NO₃-N의 순으로 질소공급량이 증가할수록 염에 대한 저항성이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

Ciglitazone is a member of the thiazolidinedione family, and specifically binds to peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ), thereby promoting adipocyte differentiation. We hypothesized that ciglitazone as a PPARγ ligand in the absence of an adipocyte differentiation cocktail would increase adiponectin and adipogenic gene expression in bovine satellite cells (BSC). Muscle-derived BSCs were isolated from six, 18-month-old Yanbian Yellow Cattle. The BSC were cultured for 96 h in differentiation medium containing 5 µM ciglitazone (CL), 10 µM ciglitazone (CM), or 20 µM ciglitazone (CH). Control (CON) BSC were cultured only in a differentiation medium (containing 2% horse serum). The presence of myogenin, desmin, and paired box 7 (Pax7) proteins was confirmed in the BSC by immunofluorescence staining. The CL, CM, and CH treatments produced higher concentrations of triacylglycerol and lipid droplet accumulation in myotubes than those of the CON treatment. Ciglitazone treatments significantly increased the relative expression of PPARγ, CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha (C/EBPα), C/EBPβ, fatty acid synthase, stearoyl-CoA desaturase, and perilipin 2. Ciglitazone treatments increased gene expression of Pax3 and Pax7 and decreased expression of myogenic differentiation-1, myogenin, myogenic regulatory factor-5, and myogenin-4 (p < 0.01). Adiponectin concentration caused by ciglitazone treatments was significantly greater than CON (p < 0.01). RNA sequencing showed that 281 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were found in the treatments of ciglitazone. DEGs gene ontology (GO) analysis showed that the top 10 GO enrichment significantly changed the biological processes such as protein trimerization, negative regulation of cell proliferation, adipocytes differentiation, and cellular response to external stimulus. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis showed that DEGs were involved in the p53 signaling pathway, PPAR signaling pathway, biosynthesis of amino acids, tumor necrosis factor signaling pathway, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, and Wnt signaling pathway. These results indicate that ciglitazone acts as PPARγ agonist, effectively increases the adiponectin concentration and adipogenic gene expression, and stimulates the conversion of BSC to adipocyte-like cells in the absence of adipocyte differentiation cocktail.

A 69-year old female stroke patient was admitted on August 7, 1998. She had seborrheic dermatitis on her lower abdomen for 25 years. The patient received many treatments but was unable to find a cure. During her hospitalization for stroke, the patient had trouble sleeping. The doctors hypothesized the dermatitis to be the cause of the sleeping disorder and attempted to treat it. The doctors chose Hwangyeonhaedog-tang Gagambang for treatment and smeared it on the patient's abdomen. After ten days of treatment, the dermatitis disappeared and did not reoccur. The patient's abdomen continued to show no symptoms of dermatitis after being released for 2 years.
