대용량(High-throughput) 형태로 얻어진 cDNA 마이크로어레이 데이터에 다양한 데이터 마이닝 기법을 적용하면 서로 다른 조직에서 추출한 유전자의 발현정도를 비교할 수 있고 정상세포와 암세포에서 발현량의 차이를 보이는 DEG(Differently Expression Gene) 유전자를 추출할 수 있다. 이들을 이용하여 병을 진단할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 암의 진행 단계(Cancer Stage)에 따른 치료 방법을 결정할 수 있다. 마이크로어레이를 기반으로 한 대부분의 암 분류자는 기계학습 기법을 이용하여 암 관련 유전자를 추출하여, 이들 유전자를 총체적으로 이용하여 독립 샘플의 클래스(암, 정상)를 판정한다. 하지만 유전자의 발현량의 차이뿐만 아니라 유전자와 유전자의 상관관계의 변화가 질병 진단에 활용될 수 있다. 대부분의 질병은 단독 유전자의 변이에 의한 것이 아니라 유전자의 모듈로 이루어진 유전자조절네트워크의 변이에 의한 것이기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 조건에 따라 특이적 관계를 나타내는 유전자 쌍을 식별하여, 이들 유전자 쌍을 이용한 유전자 분류 모듈을 생성한다. 분류 모듈을 이용한 암 분류 방법이 기존의 암 분류 방법보다 높은 정확도로 암과정상 샘플을 분류함을 보여주고 있다. 분류 모듈을 구성하는 유전자의 수가 상대적으로 적으므로 임상키트로의 개발도 고려할 수 있다. 향후 분류 모듈에 속하는 유전자의 기능적 검증을, GO(Gene Ontology)를 활용함으로서, 밝혀지지 않은 새로운 암 관련 유전자를 식별하고, 분류 모듈을 확대하여 암 특이적 유전자조절네트워크 구성에 활용할 계획이다.

Soybean transgenic plants with ectopically expressed AtABF3 were produced by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation and investigated the effects of AtABF3 expression on drought and salt tolerance. Stable Agrobacterium-mediated soybean transformation was carried based on the half-seed method (Paz et al. 2006). The integration of the transgene was confirmed from the genomic DNA of transformed soybean plants using PCR and the copy number of transgene was determined by Southern blotting using leaf samples from $T_2$ seedlings. In addition to genomic integration, the expression of the transgenes was analyzed by RT-PCR and most of the transgenic lines expressed the transgenes introduced. The chosen two transgenic lines (line #2 and #9) for further experiment showed the substantial drought stress tolerance by surviving even at the end of the 20-day of drought treatment. And the positive relationship between the levels of AtABF3 gene expression and drought-tolerance was confirmed by qRT-PCR and drought tolerance test. The stronger drought tolerance of transgenic lines seemed to be resulted from physiological changes. Transgenic lines #2 and #9 showed ion leakage at a significantly lower level (P < 0.01) than ${\underline{n}}on-{\underline{t}}ransgenic$ (NT) control. In addition, the chlorophyll contents of the leaves of transgenic lines were significantly higher (P < 0.01). The results indicated that their enhanced drought tolerance was due to the prevention of cell membrane damage and maintenance of chlorophyll content. Water loss by transpiration also slowly proceeded in transgenic plants. In microscopic observation, higher stomata closure was confirmed in transgenic lines. Especially, line #9 had 56% of completely closed stomata whereas only 16% were completely open. In subsequent salt tolerance test, the apparently enhanced salt tolerance of transgenic lines was measured in ion leakage rate and chlorophyll contents. Finally, the agronomic characteristics of ectopically expressed AtABF3 transgenic plants ($T_2$) compared to NT plants under regular watering (every 4 days) or low rate of watering condition (every 10 days) was investigated. When watered regularly, the plant height of drought-tolerant line (#9) was shorter than NT plants. However, under the drought condition, total seed weight of line #9 was significantly higher than in NT plants (P < 0.01). Moreover, the pods of NT plants showed severe withering, and most of the pods failed to set normal seeds. All the evidences in the study clearly suggested that overexpression of the AtABF3 gene conferred drought and salt tolerance in major crop soybean, especially under the growth condition of low watering.

Objective: Pilates is a low/mid-intensity exercise that can be easily performed by elderly individuals as it is an individual body-oriented exercise. It is also a cardio workout that can be performed anywhere to develop strength and flexibility. Therefore, we investigated the effects of 8 week Pilates program on the balancing ability of elderly individuals. Method: The research participants were selected from elderly residents in B city. Ten individuals voluntarily signed an agreement to undergo free measurements as well as to participate in the workout program. (Height: $157.1{\pm}11.9cm$, Weight: $61.7{\pm}8.0kg$). The Pilates exercise was performed 60 minutes a day, three times a week for a total of eight weeks. The measurement variables used to test balance were the vestibular test, 5 m habitual and maximum walk test and 3 m tandem walk test. A series of paired t-test were conducted using IBM SPSS Statistics 23.0 to analyze all the research data collected in order to determine the balance ability of the participants before and after the Pilates program. Additionally, the statistically significant level for all analysis was set to ${\alpha}=.05$. Results: In the vestibular test, some meaningful changes were observed in the length envelope area (ENV) while standing on one foot, but there were no significant differences in the ENV, rectangle(REC), root mean square, and total length. Results also revealed that statistically significant differences existed in the 5 m habitual and maximum walk test, as well as the 3 m tandem walk test. Conclusion: To summarize the findings, the 8 week Pilates program employed in this study significantly improved the dynamic balance of the elderly participants. Thus, elderly individuals that frequent perform Pilates are expected to enjoy positive benefits such as increased balance and fewer falling accidents.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate gender differences in ground reaction force (GRF) components among different speeds of running. Method: Twenty men ($age=22.4{\pm}1.6years$, $mass=73.4{\pm}8.4kg$, $height=176.2{\pm}5.6cm$) and twenty women ($age=20.7{\pm}1.2years$, $mass=55.0{\pm}8.2kg$, $height=163.9{\pm}5.3cm$) participated in this study. All participants were asked to run on an instrumented dual belt treadmill (Bertec, USA) at 8, 12, and 16 km/h for 3 min, after warming up. GRF data were collected from 30 strides while they were running. Hypotheses were tested using one-way ANOVA, and level of significance was set at p-value <.05. Results: The time to passive peaks was significantly earlier in women than in men at three different running speeds (p<.05). Further, the impact loading rates were significantly greater in women than in men at three different running speeds (p<.05). Moreover, the propulsive peak at 8 km/h, which is the slowest running speed, was significantly greater in women than in men (p<.05), and the vertical impulse at 16 km/h, which is the fastest running speed, was significantly greater in men than in women (p<.05). The absolute anteroposterior impulse at 8 km/h was significantly greater in women than in men (p<.05). In addition, as the running speed increased, impact peak, active peak, impact loading rate, breaking peak, propulsive peak, and anteroposterior impulse were significantly increased, but vertical impulse was significantly decreased (p<.05). Conclusion: The impact loading rate is greater in women than in men regardless of different running speeds. Therefore, female runners might be exposed to the risk of potential injuries related to the bone and ligament. Moreover, increased running speeds could lead to higher possibility of running injuries.

Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is the serious and fatal drug-associated adverse effect, but its incidence is very low and individual variation in severity is substantial. Acetaminophen (APAP)-induced liver injury accounts for >50% of reported DILI cases but little is known for the cause of individual variations in the severity. Intrinsic genetic variation is considered a key element but the identity of the genes was not well-established. Here, pre-biopsy method and microarray technique was applied to uncover the key genes for APAP-induced liver injury in mice, and a cause and effect experiment employing quantitative real-time PCR was conducted to confirm the correlation between the uncovered genes and APAP-induced hepatotoxicity. We identified the innately and differentially expressed genes of mice susceptible to APAP-induced hepatotoxicity in the pre-biopsied liver tissue before APAP treatment through microarray analysis of the global gene expression profiles (Affymetrix $GeneChip^{(R)}$ Mouse Gene 1.0 ST for 28,853 genes). Expression of 16 genes including Gdap10, Lpl, Gabra3 and Ccrn4l were significantly different (t-test: FDR <10%) more than 1.5 fold in the susceptible animals than resistant. To confirm the association with the susceptibility to APAP-induced hepatotoxicity, another set of animals were measured for the expression level of selected 4 genes (higher two and lower two genes) in the liver pre-biopsy and their sensitivity to APAP-induced hepatotoxicity was evaluated by post hoc. Notably, the expressions of Gabra3 and Lpl were significantly correlated with the severity of liver injury (p<0.05) demonstrating that these genes may be linked to the susceptibility to APAP-induced hepatotoxicity.

수중폭발로 인해 발생된 충격파에 노출된 유체(대부분 해수)는 유체장 내 압력과 속력 등의 물리적 변화에 따른 장력을 견딜 수 없으므로 캐비테이션(기포 또는 기공)이 발생하게 되고 이때 발생된 캐비테이션은 수중폭발의 연쇄 과정 중 구조물에 미치는 충격하중의 전달 환경을 변화시킨다. 폭발물과 구조물 간의 거리가 비교적 가까워 선체구조의 국부적 손상에 관심을 가지는 근거리 수중폭발연구에서 관심을 가지는 물리적 현상은 크게 3가지로 초기충격파 그리고 그것과 선체구조와의 상호작용, 국부 캐비테이션, 국부 캐비테이션 폐쇄 후 2차 충격파이다. 본 논문의 관심은 근거리 수중폭발에 따른 국소 캐비테이션이므로 수면과 해저로부터의 반사파는 고려하지 않는다. 유체와 구조에 관한 각각의 지배 방정식을 유도하고 이를 간단한 1차원 무한평판 문제에 적용, 수치적으로 해석하여 엄밀해와 비교해봄으로써 제안된 비연성 해석방법을 검증한다. 비연성 해석방법은 유체-구조 결합 해석방법보다 계산상 효율이 높으며 간단함에도 불구하고 상대적으로 높은 수준의 정확도를 얻을 수 있다는 점에서 유용하다. 본 논문을 통해 수중폭발과 같은 복잡한 물리적 상황에서의 유체-구조 상호작용 현상에 대한 이해와 실질적인 문제에 개념적 이해를 높이는 데 도움이 될 것이다.

플레이어의 흥미를 유발하기 위해서 보다 현실감 있는 캐릭터의 중요성이 증대됨에 따라, 캐릭터 디자인 단계에서 성격을 적용하여 사람처럼 행동하는 캐릭터가 필요한 시점이다. 그러나 기존 게임 캐릭터는 개발 단계에서 성격이 정해진 것이 아니므로 사람과 비슷한 행동을 하고 표현을 하는 캐릭터를 창출하는 데는 한계가 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 게임 캐릭터에 적용하기 위한 목적으로 5대 성격요인과 자아 상태의 연관성을 증명한다. 5대 성격요인과 자아 상태는 모두 사람의 성격적인 특성과 관련된 이론이다. 5대 성격요인은 사람의 내부적인 특성을, 자아 상태는 외부적으로 관찰 가능한 사람의 특성을 중점으로 하고 있다. 이점에서 두 이론은 어떠한 특성을 정의하고 이에 따라 행동하도록 설계된 캐릭터에 적용하기 적합하다. 즉, 5대 성격요인의 성격에 따라 설정되고, 자아 상태를 이용하여 이 성격에 따른 행동을 표현하는 캐릭터를 개발할 수 있다. 이 작업을 위해서는 우선 두 이론에 관련이 있음을 밝혀낼 필요가 있다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 기존 성격연구에 활용된 방법론인 형용사 체크리스트를 이용해 두 이론의 연관성을 밝혀내고 이 결과를 설문을 이용하여 분석한다. 향후 이 두 이론의 연관성에 따른 성격 모델을 구축하여, 캐릭터가 성격에 따라 행동하는 즉, 사실적 행위에 기반을 둔 캐릭터를 개발할 수 있을 것이라 기대한다.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of different kettlebell mass (30%, 40%, and 50% of the body mass) on kinematics and kinetic variables of kettlebell swing. Method: Total of 16 healthy male who had at least 1 year of kettlebell training experience were participated in this study (age: 31.69 ± 3.46 yrd., height: 173.38 ± 4.84 cm, body mass: 74.53 ± 6.45 kg). In this study, a 13-segments whole-body model (upper trunk, lower trunk, pelvis, both side of forearm, upperarm, thigh, and shank) was used and 26 reflective markers were attached to the body to identify the segments during the movement. A 3-dimensional motion analysis with 8 infrared cameras and 4 channeled EMG was performed to find the effect of kettlebell mass on its swing. To verify the kettlebell mass effect, a one-way ANOVA with a repeated measure was used and the statistical significance level was set at 𝛼=.05. Results: Firstly, in all lower extremity joints and thoracic vertebrae, a statistically significant change in angle was shown according to an increase in kettlebell mass during kettlebell swing (p<.05). Secondly, in both the up-swing and down-swing phases, the knee joint and ankle joint ROM showed a statistically significant increase as the kettlebell mass increased (p<.05) but no statistically significant difference was found in the hip joint and thoracic spine (p>.05). Lastly, the hamstrings muscle activity was statistically significantly increased as the kettlebell mass increased during up-swing phases (p<.05). Also, as the kettlebell mass increased in P4 of the down swing phase, the gluteus maximus showed a statistically significantly increased muscle activation, whereas the rectus femoris showed a statistically significantly decreased muscle activation (p <.05). Conclusion: As a result of this study, hip extension decreased and knee extension increased at 40% and 50% of body mass, and the spine also failed to maintain neutrality and increased flexion. Also, when kettlebell swings are performed with 50% of body mass, synergistic muscle dominance appears over 30% and 40% of body mass, which is judged to have a risk of potential injury. Therefore, it is thought that for beginners who start kettlebell exercise, swing practice should be performed with 30% of body mass. In addition, even in the case of experienced seniors, as the weight increases, the potential injury risk may increase, so it is thought that caution should be exercised when performing swings with 40% and 50% of body mass. In conclusion, it is thought that increasing the weight after sufficiently training with 30% of the weight of all subjects performing kettlebell swing is a way to maximize the exercise effect as well as prevent injury.
