  • This paper presents a novel follicular unit (FU) classification method based on an angle variation of a boundary vector according to the number of hairs in several FU images. The recently developed robotic FU harvest system, ARTAS, classifies through digital imaging the FU type based on the number of hairs with defects in the contour and outline profile of the FU of interest. However, this method has a drawback in that the FU classification is inaccurate because it causes unintended defects in the outline profile of the FU. To overcome this drawback, the proposed method classifies the FU's type by the number of variation points that are calculated using an angle variation a boundary vector. The experimental results show that the proposed method is robust and accurate for various FU shapes, compared to the contour-outline profile FU classification method of the ARTAS system.

  • To enhance the liver targeting and reduce the side effects of 5-fluorouracil (5-Fu), it was acylated by stearyl chloride to obtain .$\b{N}_{\b{1}}$stearyl-5-Fu (5-FuS). The chemical structure of the prodrug was confirmed by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and Infrared Spectrometry. 5-FuS was incorporated into solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN), which were prepared by the physical agglomeration method. The mean diameter of 5-FuS-SLN was 240.19 nm and the drug loading was 20.53%. The release characteristics in vitro of 5-FuS-SLN were fitted to the first-order pharmacokinetic model. Compared with 5-Fu injection, a study on the distribution of 5-FuS-SLN in mice showed that 5-FuS-SLN could double 5-Fu concentration in mice livers. The main pharmacokinetic parameters of 5-FuS-SLN in rabbits is shown as follows: $V_d$=0.04336L/kg, $T_{1/2} \beta$=1.2834h, CL=0.1632 L/h. In conclusion, 5-FuS-SLN has significant liver targeting properties. The employment of a prodrug to enhance drug liposoluble properties and the preparation method presented in this paper, seem to be an alternative strategy to the traditional colloidal delivery system.

  • Background: Palliative chemotherapy with cisplatin/5-fluorouracil (5FU) is the commonest regimen employed for metastatic and recurrent head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (SCCHN) and nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). However, this regimen is cumbersome requiring 5 days of admission to hospital. Carboplatin/5FU may be an alternative regimen without compromising survival and response rates. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and toxicity of carboplatin/5FU regimen with the cisplatin/5FU regimen. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study looked at patients who had palliative chemotherapy with either cisplatin/5FU or carboplatin/5FU for metastatic and recurrent SCCHN and NPC. It included patients who were treated at UKMMC from $1^{st}$ January 2004 to $31^{st}$ December 2009 with either palliative IV cispaltin 75 $mg/m^2$ D1 only plus IV 5FU 750 $mg/m^2$ D1-5 infusion or IV Carboplatin AUC 5 D1 only plus IV 5FU 500 $mg/m^2$ D1-2 infusion plus IV 5FU 500 $mg/m^2$ D1-2 bolus. The specific objectives were to determine the efficacy of palliative chemotherapy in terms of overall response rate (ORR), median progression free survival (PFS) and median overall survival (OS) and to evaluate the toxicities of both regimens. Results: A total of 41 patients were eligible for this study. There were 17 in the cisplatin/5FU arm and 24 in the carboplatin/5FU arm. The ORR was 17.7 % for cisplatin/5FU arm and 37.5 % for carboplatin/5FU arm (p-value=0.304). The median PFS was 7 months for cisplatin/5FU and 9 months for carboplatin/5FU (p-value=1.015). The median OS was 10 months for cisplatin/5FU arm and 12 months for carboplatin/5FU arm (p-value=0.110). There were 6 treatment-related deaths (6/41=14.6%), four in the carboplatin/5FU arm (4/24=16.7%) and 2 in the cisplatin/5FU arm (2/17=11.8%). Grade 3 and 4 hematologic toxicity was also more common with carboplatin/5FU group, this difference being predominantly due to grade 3-4 granulocytopenia (41.6% vs. 0), grade 3-4 anemia (37.5% vs. 0) and grade 3-4 thrombocytopenia (16.6% vs. 0). Conclusions: Carboplatin/5FU is not inferior to cisplatin/5FU with regard to its efficacy. However, there was a high rate of treatment-related deaths with both regimens. A better alternative needs to be considered.

  • To assess their stability as a prodrug of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), four N-acyloxycarbonyl derivatives (1-(N-tert-butyloxycarbonyl)glycyloxymethyl-5-FU :BGFU, 1-(N-tert-butyloxycar bonyl)-leucyloxymethyl-5-FU:BLFU, 1-(N-tert-carbobenzyloxymethyl) glycyloxymethyl-5-FU:CGFU and 1-(N-tert-carbobenzlyoxymethyl)leucyloxymethyl-5-FU:CLFU) possessing differently protected amino acids, and two acetic acid derivatives (5FU-1-acetylpentane:FUAP and 5-FU-1-acetylhexane:FUAH) were synthesized and their physicochemical properties, hydrolysis kinetics, acute toxicity and antitumor activity were evaluated. The lipid-water partition coefficients of six 5-FU prodrugs were higher than that of 5-FU and their aqueous solubilities were in the following rank order; BGFU>FUAP>CGFU>BLFU>CLFU${\simeq}$FUAH. The hydrolysis of N-acyloxycarboyl derivatives, greater at higher pH, was enhanced in presence of liver homogenate or human plasma. Meanwhile, acetic acid ester derivatives, very stable, were hydrolyzed by liver homogenate. Absorption rate constants were 0.181, 0.121, 0.111, 0.168, 0.168, 0.116 and 0.125 $hr^{-1}$ for 5-FU, BGFU, BLFU, CGFU, CLFU, FUAP and FUAH, respectively. The cytotoxicity of N-acyloxycarbonyl derivatives was 4 to 5 times lower than that of 5-FU, but that of acetic acid ester derivatives was negligeble. The $LD_{50}$ values were 204, 325.97 (133.59, amount as 5-FU), 708.16 (262.13), 663.50 (211.77), 382.33 (192.54) and 272.33 (130.09) mg/kg for 5-FU, BGFU, CGFU, CLFU, FUAP and FUAH, respectively. While N-acyloxycarbonyl derivatives showed enhanced antitumor activity and therapeutic ratio (3.30, 3.06, 4.19, 3.11 and 1.81 for BGFU, BLFU, CGFU, CLFU and 5-FU, respectively), FUAH and FUAP showed a smaller therapeutic ratio (0.79 and 0.83).

  • This paper investigates the rank system of official uniforms of Qing dynasty to analyze ethnic characteristics of the official uniforms. As a research document, Qing Huidian Tu(청회전도) has been used. The official uniforms of Qing dynasty were chao-fu(조복), ji-fu(길복), chang-fu(상복), hang-fu(행복), and yu-fu(우복), which were used in different occasions. Each of the five official uniforms had distinct items. For example, chao-fu(조복) consisted of four items: chao-guan(조관), chao-fu(조복), chao-dai(조대), and chao-zhu(조주), and ji-fu(길복) consisted of four items: ji-fu-guan(길복관), long-pao(용포), ji-fu-dai(길복대), and chao-zhu(조주). Each of these items had elements that made distinction between ranks. This research shows that the important elements to make distinction between ranks were textiles, precious stones, patterns and colors, and additionally the number of Bo(보) and the types of Bo(보) were used.

  • Kung fu films stand out among many types of films and are sought after by a large number of loyal audiences. In order to explore the mystery, we use the theory of uses and gratifications theory to study kung fu films in order to explore the audience's viewing needs of kung fu films In the existing research, most scholars adopt qualitative research and Chinese culture contained in kung fu movies. Few people use quantitative research, and this area of research is almost blank. Therefore, we conducted a quantitative research on kung fu films based on the methodology of uses and gratifications. The questions revolve around: Can kung fu movies meet audiences' needs? What is the purpose of watching a kung fu movie? After analysis with SPSS, interesting results emerged. In the regression analysis, we found that the psychological need for compensation has a positive impact on Viewing satisfaction, while the social need has a significant negative impact on viewing intention. At the end of the article, we also put forward my own solutions. We also hope to provide better suggestions for the development of Chinese kung fu films through my research, so as to make kung fu films more perfect.

  • Pyrimidine 유도체의 일종인 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)은 광범위하게 사용되는 항암제의 일종으로, thymidylate synthase의 활성을 억제시켜 핵산의 합성 및 대사기능 자애 유발 물질이다. 본 연구에서는 Ewing′s 육종 CHP-100 세포에서 5-FU의 증식억제와 연관된 기전 해석으로 시도하였다. 본 연구의 결과에 의하면, 5-FU 처리 시간의 경과에 따른 CHP-100 세포의 증식억제가 세포주기 G1 arrest 유발에 따른 것임을 알 수 있었다. 5-FU에 의한 CHP-100 세포의 G1 arrest는 retinoblastoma protein (pRB)의 탈인산화에 따른 전사인자 E2F-1 및 E2F-4와의 결합 촉진과 연관성이 있었다. 비록 5-FU 처리가 cyclin-dependent kinases의 발현에는 크게 영향을 주지 않았으나, 정상배지에서 배양된 대조군에 비하여 cyclin A 및 B의 발현이 5-FU 처리 시간 의존적으로 억제되었다. 또한 5-FU에 의한 CHP-100 세포의 G1 arrest는 apoptosis 유도와 연관이 있음을 핵 내 염색질의 응축에 따른 apoptotic body의 형성증가, poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase의 단편화 및 annexin V 염색 등을 통하여 확인하였다. 아울러 5-FU는 pro-apoptotic Bax 단백질의 발현 증가 및 anti-apoptotic Bcl-2의 발현 감소를 통한 mitochondrial membrane potential의 소실을 촉진시켰으며, 이로 인하여 미토콘드리아에서 세포질로의 cytochrome c 유리가 증가시켰음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구의 결과는 5-FU에 의한 CHP-100 세포의 증식억제와 연관된 G1 arrest 및 apoptosis 유도에는 pRB의 인산화 억제 및 미토콘드리아 기능의 손상이 최소한 관여하고 있음을 의미하는 것이다.

  • Purpose : This paper explores the extent to which ZangFu diagrams made after Northern Song Dynasty were influenced by ZangFu diagrams made before Northern Song Dynasty, and how diagrams of the whole body and heart originated from MingTangZangFuTu and affected each other when quoted in books published after Northern Song Dynasty. Method : The author used four form factors including heart shape, internal curved lines, cylinder-like structures above heart, and wuzangxi (五臟系) which resembles a lotus flower which has not yet bloomed, to analyze and compare different ZangFu diagrams before and after the Northern Song Dynasty. Results : Two form factors, the shape of heart and wuzangxi, are described in ZangFu diagrams before Northern Song, and may have influenced ZangFu diagrams after Northern Song. However, the other two form factors (internal curved lines and cylinder-like structures above the heart) did not influence ZangFu diagrams after Northern Song. All form factors of heart found in WuCangLiuFuZhiTu (within the whole body) and diagram of heart in ZhenJiuJuYing (鍼灸聚英) were most similar, but the two paintings became less similar as they were cited in several books. With the exception of the form factor with structures above heart, the three other form factors are almost identical between two paintings produced after Northern Song dynasty, as displayed in the same book. Conclusion : ZangFu diagrams of the heart produced after Northern Song Dynasty, were not completely based on ZangFu diagrams made before Northern Song Dynasty. Diagrams of whole body and those of the heart were changed, while influencing each other after Northern Song.
