전이성 종양의 성장패턴 차이와 변화율에 따른 종양 이질성(tumor heterogeneity)을 파악하는 것은 종양세포의 약물에 대한 민감성을 파악하고 적절한 치료법을 찾아내기 위해 중요하다. 일반적으로 N개의 표본의 집단이 구분된다면 t-test 혹은 ANOVA 분석을 통해 집단별 평균의 차이에 대한 검정이 가능하다. 그러나 본 논문에서 다루는 데이터와 같이 집단이 구분되지 않는 경우 이러한 방법들은 사용될 수 없다. 표본들 사이의 이질성을 검정하기 위한 통계적 방법들이 연구되어 왔다. 최소 조합 t-검정 방법은 그 중 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 상이한 비율로 데이터를 양분하는 조합도 고려하는 최대 조합 t-검정 방법을 제안한다. 한편, 표본의 이질성을 검정하는 것이 군집분석에서 최적의 군집의 개수가 2개 이상인지를 검정하는 것과 같음에 착안하여 새로운 방법을 제안한다. 최대 조합 t-검정과 gap통계량을 이용하면 이전에 제안된 방법보다 개선된 제1종의 오류를 범할 확률과 검정력을 갖는다는 것을 모의실험을 통해 확인하였고 실제 자료 분석을 통해 결과를 도출하였다.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical risk according to the applicator heterogeneity, mislocation, and tissue heterogeneity correction through a dose verification program during brachytherapy of cervical cancer. We performed image processing with MATLAB on images acquired with CT simulator. The source was modeled and stochiometric calibration and Monte-Carlo algorithm were applied based on dwell time and location to calculate the dose, and the secondary cancer risk was evaluated in the dose verification program. The result calculated by correcting for applicator and tissue heterogeneity showed a maximum dose of about 25% higher. In the bladder, the difference in excess absolute risk according to the heterogeneity correction was not significant. In the rectum, the difference in excess absolute risk was lower than that calculated by correcting applicator and tissue heterogeneity compared to the water-based calculation. In the femur, the water-based calculation result was the lowest, and the result calculated by correcting the applicator and tissue heterogeneity was 10% higher. A maximum of 14% dose difference occurred when the applicator mislocation was 20 mm in the Z-axis. In a future study, it is expected that a system that can independently verify the treatment plan can be developed by automating the interface between the treatment planning system and the dose verification program.

The rs2273535 polymorphism in the AURKA gene had proven to be associated with breast carcinoma susceptibility. Nevertheless, the results of different studies remain contradictory. A meta-analysis covering 28, 789 subjects from eleven different studies was here carried out in order to investigate the association in detail. The random effects model was used to analyze the pooled odds ratios (ORs) and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). A significant relationship between the rs2273535 polymorphism and breast tumors was found in an allelic genetic model (OR: 1.076, 95% CI: 1.004-1.153, p=0.040, $P_{heterogeneity}$=0.002). No significant association was detected in a homozygote model (OR: 1.186, 95% CI: 0.990-1.423, P=0.065, $P_{heterogeneity}$=0.002), a heterozygote model (OR: 1.016, 95% CI: 0.959-1.076, p=0.064, $P_{heterogeneity}$=0.000), a dominant genetic model (OR: 1.147, 95% CI: 0.992-1.325, p=0.217, $P_{heterogeneity}$=0.294) and a recessive genetic model (OR: 1.093, 95% CI: 0.878-1.361, p=0.425, $P_{heterogeneity}$=0.707). A significant relationship between the rs2273535 polymorphism in the AURKA gene and breast tumor in Asian group was found in an allelic genetic model (OR: 1.124, 95% CI: 1.003-1.29, p=0.044, $P_{heterogeneity}$=0.034), a homozygote model (OR: 1.229, 95% CI: 1.038-1.455, p=0.016, $P_{heterogeneity}$=0.266) and a recessive genetic model (OR: 1.227, 95% CI: 1.001-1.504, p=0.049, $P_{heterogeneity}$=0.006). A significant association was thus observed between the rs2273535 polymorphism in the AURKA gene and breast cancer risk. Individuals with the rs2273535 polymorphism in the AURKA gene have a higher risk of breast cancer in Asian populations, but not in Caucasians.

네트워크를 분석하는 방법인 stochastic 기반의 community bridge node finder는 네트워크 구조의 일부 정보만을 이용하여 중심지 및 확산 경로의 유추가 가능하다. 그러나, heterogeneity 네트워크에 적용하기 어려운 단점을 보유하고 있어, 본 연구에서는 이를 개선하고자 하였다. heterogeneity 네트워크에 적용할 수 있는 community bridge node finder 방법을 개발하기 위해 네트워크의 modularity를 계측하는 방법을 적용하였으며, 개선된 방법을 통해 community bridge node를 정량적으로 평가할 수 있어 heterogeneity 네트워크의 분석이 가능하였다. 농촌계획분야 정보의 경우, 대부분 자료의 불확실성이 존재하며 무결성이 떨어지는 특성을 가지고 있는 바 본 연구에서 적용한 전염병 확산 예측 뿐만 아니라 개선된 방법을 활용할 경우 주산지 정비 거점 분석 등 다양한 형태로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

본 연구에서는 순간단위도의 보편적 특성 중 하나인 왜곡된 형상에 대하여 체계적인 접근을 시도하여 보았다. 이를 위하여 순간단위도의 통계모멘트에 대한 해석적 관계식을 지형학적 순간단위도 이론을 기반으로 유도하고 유역의 동수역학적 이질성, 지형학적 이질성 및 운동학적 이질성의 개념에 따라 정량화하여 수문학적 응답 함수를 왜곡시키는 원인에 접근해 보고자 하였다. 지표면 배수경로와 하천 배수경로 사이에는 큰 규모의 차가 존재하지만 전자는 후자에 비하여 작은 규모임에도 불구하고 오히려 큰 변동계수를 가지며 왜곡계수 역시 다른 경향을 나타냄을 볼 수 있었다. 순간단위도의 형상은 동수역학적 이질성보다는 운동학적 이질성에 지배를 받으며 특히 지형학적 이질성과 결합하여 수문학적 응답함수에 왜도를 발생시키는 주요 원인이 될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 지표면과 하천의 배수경로들이 갖는 통계특성은 무차원 통계량의 형태로 수문학적 응답함수에 전달되어 지는데 이들 사이의 상대적 중요도에 따라 수문학적 응답함수의 전반적 형상이 결정되는 것으로 판단할 수 있었다.

Objectives : This study was conducted to find out the effectiveness and safety of herbal medicine eye drops on conjunctivitis. Methods : We searched randomized controlled trials on conjunctivitis through 10 DBs from the start to April 27, 2022. Study collection and data extraction, and evaluation of risk of bias were conducted by two independent researchers. The evaluation of the risk of bias in included RCTs was carried out by using Cochrane risk-of-bias tool. And the data synthesis was conducted by using Review Manager(RevMan, ver.5.4). Results : Total of 106 studies are researched and 7 studies of them are finally included. 1. The herbal medicine eye drops are more effective on than the western medicine eye drops, but the heterogeneity was very high. So we conducted sensitivity analysis and compared to the herbal medicine eye drops and the western medicine eye drops, the total effective rate was higher in the herbal medicine eye drops and the heterogeneity was somewhat reduced. 2. In the subgroup analysis, Fufang Xiongdan eye drops and Houttuynia cordata Thunb eye drops are more effective than the western medicine. It may represent substantial heterogeneity. 3. In the subgroup analysis, the herbal medicine eye drops are more effective than antibiotic and antiviral eye drops on acute bacterial conjunctivitis, but showed high heterogeneity. On the other hand, the herbal medicine eye drops are more effective than antibiotic and antiviral eyed drops on acute viral conjuctivitis and showed low heterogeneity. 4. In the subgroup analysis, we compared the effectiveness of herbal and western medicine eye drops according to total effectiveness rate evaluation methods. When comparing the studies calculating the total effective rate by the sum of 'Cured', 'Significantly Impaired', and 'Improved', the effective rate of the herbal medicine eye drops was higher than that of the western medicine eye drops, and the heterogeneity was very low. 5. In most studies, side effects of herbal medicine eye drops were absent or mild. Conclusions : This study shows that herbal medicine eye drops may be more effective than western medicine eye drops and have safety. But further researches are needed to resolve the heterogeneity of this study.

Triploids have several potential advantages over diploids in aquaculture, drawing an elevated commercial reaction into the realistic application of the techniques despite we are still in the early stage of triploid industry for the Pacific oysters Crassostrea gigas. We traced the growth performance of the triploid C. gigas for over a year from hatchery spats, which was created by manipulations of chemicals (Cytochalasin B, CB or 6-Dimethylaminopurine, 6-DMAP). The growth was clearly marked by an initial longer dormancy and following a great magnitude of heterogeneity. The dormancy was almost 9 to 10-month long or even longer and was considered as a downside of the creation. The heterogeneity was magnified by appearance of extraordinarily growing oysters in part during summer season, which could be a representative upside of the triploids. Overall, however, the results were not as positive as were expected. The longer dormancy and following heterogeneity observed in our practice could be marked as an additional negative sign of the chemical use. The present study, thus, might be highly indicative in the introduction of biological cross between tetraploid and diploid to produce natural triploid embryos.

Most of the cancers are still incurable human diseases. According to recent findings, especially targeting cancer stem cells (CSCs) is the most promising therapeutic strategy. CSCs take charge of a cancer hierarchy, harboring stem cell-like properties involving self-renewal and aberrant differentiation potential. Most of all, the presence of CSCs is closely associated with tumorigenesis and therapeutic resistance. Despite the numerous efforts to target CSCs, current anti-cancer therapies are still impeded by CSC-derived cancer malignancies; increased metastases, tumor recurrence, and even acquired resistance against the anti-CSC therapies developed in experimental models. One of the most forceful underlying reasons is a "cancer heterogeneity" due to "CSC plasticity". A comprehensive understanding of CSC-derived heterogeneity will provide novel insights into the establishment of efficient targeting strategies to eliminate CSCs. Here, we introduce findings on mechanisms of CSC reprogramming and CSC plasticity, which give rise to phenotypically varied CSCs. Also, we suggest concepts to improve CSC-targeted therapy in order to overcome therapeutic resistance caused by CSC plasticity and heterogeneity.

백신연구에서 백신효과를 추정하기 위해 생존시간이 반복 관측되었지만 해석의 용이함과 모형의 편리성 때문에 일반적으로 첫 사건만을 고려한 비례위험모형을 사용해왔다. 그러나 이러한 방법은 실험체들의 감수성과 질병에 대한 노출정도가 이질적인 경우 정보의 손실을 초래할 뿐만 아니라 편향된 결과를 도출한다. 또한 반복 측정된 자료가 서로 독립적이기 보다 상호 연관되어 있을 가능성을 배제할 수 없다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 시뮬레이션 연구를 통해 다양한 요소가 혼합된 복합적 상황에서 여러 통계적 모형을 이용하여 백신효과를 추정하는 방법들을 비교하였다.
