P-gp (P-glycoprotein) is a member of the ATP binding cassette (ABC) family of transporters. It transports many kinds of anticancer drugs out of the cell. It plays a major role as a cause of multidrug resistance (MDR). MDR function may be a cause of the failure of chemotherapy in cancer and influence pharmacokinetic properties of many drugs. Hence classification of candidate drugs as substrates or nonsubstrate of the P-gp is important in drug development. Therefore to identify whether a compound is a P-gp substrate or not, in silico method is promising. Recursive Partitioning (RP) method was explored for prediction of P-gp substrate. A set of 261 compounds, including 146 substrates and 115 nonsubstrates of P-gp, was used to training and validation. Using molecular descriptors that we can interpret their own meaning, we have established two models for prediction of P-gp substrates. In the first model, we chose only 6 descriptors which have simple physical meaning. In the training set, the overall predictability of our model is 78.95%. In case of test set, overall predictability is 69.23%. Second model with 2D and 3D descriptors shows a little better predictability (overall predictability of training set is 79.29%, test set is 79.37%), the second model with 2D and 3D descriptors shows better discriminating power than first model with only 2D descriptors. This approach will be used to reduce the number of compounds required to be run in the P-gp efflux assay.

Few studies are found in literature on estimation of population quantiles using the method of ranked set sampling (RSS). The optimal RSS strategy is to select observations with at most two fixed rank order statistics from different ranked sets. In this paper, a near optimal unbalanced RSS model for estimating p^th(0 < p < 1) population quantile is proposed. Main advantage of this model is to use each rank order statistics and is distributionfree. The asymptotic relative efficiency (ARE) for balanced RSS, unbalanced optimal and proposed near-optimal methods are computed for different values of p. We also compared these AREs with respect to simple random sampling. The results show that proposed unbalanced RSS performs uniformly better than balanced RSS for all set sizes and is very close to the optimal RSS for large set sizes. For the practical utility, the near optimal unbalanced RSS is recommended for estimating the quantiles.

[1]에서 LCZ 수열군의 2배 확장을 제안하였다. 본 논문에서는 [1]에서의 2배 확장방법을 일반화하는 새로운 확장방법을 제안한다. 이 생성방법을 사용하면 인수가 (N,M,L,${\epsilon}$)인 q진 LCZ 수열군은 인수가 (pN,pM,p[(L+1)/p]-1,p${\epsilon}$)인 q진 LCZ 수열군이 된다. 이 때, p는 소수이고 p는 q의 약수다. 특히 L${\equiv}$p-1modp일 때, 확장된 q진 LCZ 수열군의 인수는 (pN,pM,L,p${\epsilon}$)이 된다.

We introduce the notions of regular preopen sets and $p^{\ast}-closed$ spaces and investigate some of these properties. Also we give a characterization of p-closed spaces.

In this paper it is shown that the spectrum ${\sigma}$ is continuous at every p-hyponormal operator when restricted to the set of essentially p-hyponormal operators and moreover ${\sigma}$ is continuous when restricted to the set of compact perturbations of p-hyponormal operators whose spectral pictures have no holes associated with the index zero.

목적: 시험관아기 시술에서 3일째의 배아들 가운데 우수한 배아를 선발하여 1개의 배아를 이식 (elective single embryo transfer, eSET)한 주기와 2개의 배아를 이식 (elective double embryo transfer, eDET)한 주기의 임상적 결과들을 비교, 분석하고자 하였다. 연구방법: 본 연구는 2008년 1월부터 2009년 4월까지 대구마리아에서 첫 번째나 두 번째 In vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET)를 시행한 36세 미만인 환자들 가운데 hCG를 투여한 당일 자궁내막의 두께가 8 mm 이상이고 정상적인 수정란이 3개 이상이면서 적어도 1개의 우수한 배아를 지닌 환자들을 대상으로 실시하였다. eSET는 167주기에서 실시하였고 eDET는 163주기에서 실시하였다. 결과: eSET군의 임상적 임신율, 진행 임신율 및 출산율 (각각 53.3%, 47.3% 및 44.9%)은 eDET군의 것들 (각각 60.7%, 54.6% 및 50.9%)보다 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다. 그러나 착상률은 eSET군이 eDET군보다 통계적으로 유의하게 높았고 (각각 53.9%와 40.2%, p<0.001), 쌍태아의 임신율은 eSET군이 eDET군보다 유의하게 낮게 나타났다 (각각 1.1%와 32.3%, p<0.001). 또한, 잉여배아들을 유리화하여 보관하게 된 환자의 비율은 eDET군보다 eSET군에서 유의하게 높았을 뿐만 아니라 (각각 68.7%와 89.2%, p<0.001), 환자당 보관된 잉여배아의 수도 eSET군에서 eDET군에 비하여 유의하게 높게 나타났다 (각각 $3.2{\pm}2.6$과 $2.1{\pm}2.4$,p<0.001).결론: 채취당 임신율을 높이고 다태아의 임신에서 기인한 합병증 등을 줄이기 위해서는 내원한 첫 번째나 두 번째 IVF-ET 환자들 가운데 36세 미만이고 HCG를 투여한 당일 자궁내막의 두께가 8 mm이상이며 3일째에 우수한 배아가 하나만 있더라도 eDET보다 eSET를 실시함이 바람직하다고 생각된다.

Analysis of phylogenetic relationship was performed among Phellinus species based on 18S ribosomal subunit sequence data. Twenty-five strains of 19 Phellinus species including P. linteus were examined in this study. Regions of 18S ribosomal subunit were very conserved, but some variable regions between Phellinus species were observed. The species-specific detection primers, modified by 2 or 3 nucleotides in sense primer were designed based on 18S ribosomal DNA(rDNA) sequence data. The 210 by PCR bands were detected with annealing temperature $48^{\circ}C$. The 18S 2F-18S 4R detection primer set distinguished P. linteus from various Phellinus species but some species like P. baumii, P. weirianius, P. rhabarberinus and P. pomaceus also had weak reactivity on this primer set. The 18S 3F-18S 4R primer set distinguished only P. linteus from various Phellinus species, although sensitivity with this primer set was lower than that of 18S 2F-18 4R primer set. These primer sets would be useful for the detection of only P. linteus among unknown Phellinus species rapidly.

Background and Objectives: Although an anterior linear ablation is an effective lesion set in radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) for longstanding persistent atrial fibrillation (L-PeAF), its durability for bidirectional block (BDB) is only about 60% at repeat procedure. We hypothesized that changes in electrocardiogram (ECG) may predict an anterior line block state and the clinical outcome of L-PeAF ablation. Subjects and Methods: We studied 304 L-PeAF patients (77% male, $60{\pm}10yrs$), who consistently underwent RFCA Dallas lesion set (circumferential pulmonary vein isolation, posterior box lesion, and anterior line) protocol with subsequent comparison of pre-procedural and post-procedural P wave axes, and one year follow-up (n=205) sinus rhythm (SR) ECGs. Results: 1. P wave axis shifted inferiorly at immediate post-procedure (p<0.001), and was independently correlated with BDB of anterior line (${\ss}=10.4$, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.79-17.94, p=0.008). 2. The degree of post-procedural inferior shift of P wave axis did not reflect clinical recurrence within one-year (n=205, p=0.923), potentially due to conduction recovery of an anterior line. However, among 160 patients without clinical recurrence within one-year, P wave axis at one-year ECG was independently associated with very late recurrence of AF after one-year (n=160, hazard ratio [HR] 0.98; 95% CI 0.97-0.99, p=0.001), during $45.6{\pm}16.7$ months of follow-up. 3. Among 22 patients who underwent repeat procedures, P wave axis shift was more significant in patients with maintained BDB of an anterior line than in those without (p=0.015). Conclusion: An inferior shift of P wave axis reflects the achievement and the maintenance of an anterior line BDB, and is associated with better long-term clinical outcome after catheter ablation for L-PeAF based on Dallas lesion set.

For positive integers d and n, let $[n]^d$ be the set of all vectors ($a_1,a_2,{\cdots},a_d$), where ai is an integer with $0{\leq}a_i{\leq}n-1$. A subset S of $[n]^d$ is called a Sidon set if all sums of two (not necessarily distinct) vectors in S are distinct. In this paper, we estimate two numbers related to the maximum size of Sidon sets in $[n]^d$. First, let $\mathcal{Z}_{n,d}$ be the number of all Sidon sets in $[n]^d$. We show that ${\log}(\mathcal{Z}_{n,d})={\Theta}(n^{d/2})$, where the constants of ${\Theta}$ depend only on d. Next, we estimate the maximum size of Sidon sets contained in a random set $[n]^d_p$, where $[n]^d_p$ denotes a random set obtained from $[n]^d$ by choosing each element independently with probability p.

Let D be an integral domain with quotient field K, A a nonempty set of height-one maximal t-ideals of D, F$({\Lambda})={I{\subseteq}D|I$ is an ideal of D such that $I{\subseteq}P$ for all $P{\in}A}$, and $D_F({\Lambda})={x{\in}K|xA{\subseteq}D$ for some $A{\in}F({\Lambda})}$. In this paper, we prove that if each $P{\in}A$ is the radical of a finite type v-ideal (resp., a principal ideal), then $D_{F({\Lambda})}$ is a weakly Krull domain (resp., generalized weakly factorial domain) if and only if the intersection $D_{F({\Lambda})}={\cap}_{P{\in}A}D_P$ has finite character, if and only if $F({\Lambda})$ is a t-splitting set of ideals, if and only if $F({\Lambda})$ is v-finite.
