Gadolinium contrast agents (CAs) are integral components of clinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, safety concerns have arisen regarding the use of gadolinium CAs, due to their association with nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF). Furthermore, recently the long-term retention of $Gd^{3+}-based$ CAs in brains patients with normal renal function raised another possible safety issue. The safety concerns of $Gd^{3+}-based$ CAs have been based on the ligand structure of $Gd^{3+}-based$ CAs, and findings that $Gd^{3+}-based$ CAs with linear ligand structures showed much higher incidences of NSF and brain retention of CAs than $Gd^{3+}-based$ CAs with macrocyclic ligand structure. In the current study, we report the in vivo biodistribution profile of a new highly stable multifunctional $Gd^{3+}-based$ CA, with macrocyclic ligand structure (HNP-2006). MR imaging using HNP-2006 demonstrated a significant contrast enhancement in many different organs. Furthermore, the contrast enhanced tumor imaging using HNP-2006 confirmed that this new macrocyclic CA can be used for detecting tumor in the central nervous system. Therefore, this new multifunctional HNP-2006 with macrocyclic ligand structure shows great promise for whole-body clinical application.

One noticeable thing about the recently opened 'Starfield Hanam' and 'Hyundai Department Store (Pangyo)' is consumer's interest and positive response to their hosted food brands ranging from restaurants, dessert cafes and coffee shops. Department store and shopping complex, so-called aggregation of lifestyle are making the most out of food brands as a differentiation strategy and consumer's interest on it act as a barometer for current consumption trend. Along with the high interest on food market, changes in lifestyle, such as increasing ratio of two or less households, advent of multiple communication channels as SNS, deluge of information and gradually developing individualism, are creating needs for convenient but high quality eating culture. This need contributed in transforming the product family which was once famous as 'Instant Food' into a 'Home Meal Replacement (HMR)'. Since local food companies are striving to keep pace with the trend and actively penetrating HMR market, regardless of long-term recession, the Korean domestic food market is steadily growing with a bright future.

Background and Objectives Surgery for harvesting costal cartilage is often required for revision septorhinoplasty due to a lack of septal cartilage in patients with a severely contracted nose, and postoperative scarring on the anterolateral rib cage commonly requires additional treatment. This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy and safety of combined polydeoxyribonucleotide (PDRN) and microlens array (MLA)-type nanosecond-domain neodymium (Nd):yttrium-aluminum-garnet (YAG) laser treatment for postoperative scars after costal cartilage harvest surgery. Materials and Methods Nine Korean patients with scars after costal cartilage harvest surgery treated with PDRN injections and MLA-type Nd:YAG laser treatments were retrospectively reviewed. Results Most of the scar lesions exhibited clinical improvement at 2 weeks after PDRN and MLA-type nanosecond-domain laser treatments, and the lesions further improved after adding more treatment sessions. The median Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS) score decreased from 6 (interquartile range [IQR]: 6-7) before combined intralesional PDRN injection and MLA-type, nanosecond-domain Nd:YAG laser treatments to 3 (IQR: 2-4) thereafter. Patient satisfaction after the combination treatments was rated as satisfactory. None of our patients reported major adverse events. Conclusion This case series study demonstrated that combined PDRN and MLA-type, nanosecond-domain Nd:YAG laser treatments are effective and safe for treating scars from costal cartilage harvest surgery.

Maeng Hwa-seop (1915-2002) was born in 1915 in the Pundang neighborhood of Tolma township in Kwangju prefecture. After graduating from Pangyo primary school, he got a job at House of Gold and Jade (Kŭmhodong) in Dangjutong at the age of 17 and started learning Korean medicine. In 1939, he worked as a rural government official in Kwangju prefecture and became famous as a good doctor. In 1957, he got a license in Korean medicine and in 1958, he opened the Maeng Hwa-seop Korean medicine clinic in Anam-dong 5-ga. He started a clinical lecture, which began in 1970 for Professor Maeng Woong-jae, continued until 2001 and trained many students. Maeng died in May 2002 at the age of 88. He left clinical records as an outstanding clinician. He was not only famous among Korean medical doctors, but also a great scholar who was widely respected for his noble personality. His book, Guide to Medical Prescriptions (Pangyak chich'im 1976), is a clinical textbook and history book representing Korean medicine in the 20th century, and is still widely used in medical contexts.

The current study analyzed appropriateness of abandoned rice paddy wetlands as habitats for the Amphibia by assessing functions and value of abandoned rice paddy wetlands within land development districts as a habitat for living creatures and researching into the Amphibia living in the subject districts. For this purpose, the study designated abandoned rice paddy wetlands within Hwaseong A District and Pangyo B District under land development as subject lands. Those wetlands went through succession after abandonment of farming. Detailed study results are as follows. From classification of wetland types and an analysis of their characteristics, it was found that herbaceous plants such as smartweed communities, horsetail communities and reed communities, and woody plants such as pussy willow communities appeared in both districts. These abandoned rice paddy wetlands shows typical characteristics of palustrine wetlands. As a result of a vegetation structure research, it was observed that succession has been progressed for at least over 2~3 years. In assessment of wetland functions by item, it was found that they are developing into fine wetlands in terms of functions because they are ranked over Moderate Class except separate distance from streams. Also from a research into animals living in the abandoned rice paddy wetlands, it was found that main inhabitants are Rana nigromaculata,Rana dybowskii, Hyla japonica, Bufo bufo gargarizans, etc. It can be confirmed that the abandoned rice paddy wetlands are providing appropriate conditions as habitats to the Amphibia in a view that those species have life cycles of inhabitation (shores and wetlands) - egg-laying (rice paddy, puddles and swampy places) - hibernation (rice field banks and swampy places). From this point of view, it was found that abandoned rice paddy wetlands that developed because of abandonment of farming can be used as means to improve structure and functions of habitats.

The purpose of this study is to design and construct a data mart that anyone can easily analyze subway OD movement patterns. Subway OD data of the year 2017 was downloaded from the Seoul Open Data Plaza and used as the source data. A multidimensional model was designed, and Gaussian mixed cluster analysis and visualization analysis using Tableau were performed. Interestingly, movement between suburban and Seoul accounts for 23% of the total traffic. The passengers of Suwon Station move to the suburbs much more than Seoul, while Pangyo Station mostly moves to Seoul. As a result of Gaussian mixed cluster, eight clusters of OD segments were found, and the characteristics of each cluster were characterized by segment distance and passenger size.

A 1.5-year-old, female domestic rabbit was diagnosed with uterine torsion accompanying hydrometra of the right uterine horn and pyometra of the left horn. The exploratory laparotomy revealed the torsion of bilateral uterine horns in the region of the uterine cervix. No growth was detected in fluid collected from the right horn of the uterus; however, Gram-positive micrococcus and bacilli were cultured from the left horn. The pathophysiology of the simultaneous occurrence of these disorders was suspected considering that abdominal distension progressed over 4 months and the rabbit's condition deteriorated abruptly within 2 days, hydrometra was the initial disease and then infection to the left uterine horn and torsion developed later due to the large volume of fluid within the uterus. This report is the first case showing uterine torsion accompanying hydrometra and pyometra in each uterine horn.

도시화는 수문학적으로 산림이나 농경지와 같은 투수지역을 건물, 도로 등의 불투수 지역으로 변화시키는 것이며, 이로 인하여 홍수파의 도달시간이 줄어들고 첨두유량이 증가하는 등의 수문변화를 수반하게 된다. 도로나 건물 등이 대부분을 차지하고 있는 도시지역에서는 지표면이나 식생으로부터 대기 중으로 방출되는 증발산량이 농촌이나 산림지역보다 상대적으로 적으며, 강우시 토양중의 침투량과 지표면의 저류량도 도시지역에서는 매우 적게 나타난다. 도시화 전 후의 물순환특성을 평가하기 위해서는 도시 개발 전 후의 장단기 수문 관측 결과를 기초로 물순환계를 구성하는 인자간의 관계를 정량적으로 분석하고 물순환계 구성요소의 일부 변화가 다른 부분에 미치는 영향을 평가할 필요가 있다. 즉, 도시화가 물순환 구조 변동에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 평가함으로써 유역 전체의 건전한 물순환 체계를 유지할 수 있는 대책 수립이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 판교신도시 개발에 따른 유역에서의 홍수 및 유출특성 변화의 정량적 규명을 목적으로 두고 집중형 모형인 HEC-HMS모형과 물리적 기반의 준분포형 모형인 CAT을 이용하여 판교신도시 개발전의 정량적 물순환 특성을 평가하였다. 대상유역은 지방 2급 하천 탄천의 지류인 운중천, 금토천이 포함된 판교유역이며, 유역면적은 약 $25km^2$이다. 이 중 유역면적의 38 %에 해당하는 지역이 개발되었으며 개발된 지역은 하류부근에 위치한다. 강우자료는 지상 강우관측소인 수원 관측소의 지점강우 자료를 이용하였다. 도시 개발 전 단계에 해당하는 2006년, 2007년 호우사상 중 누적강우량 50 mm 이상인 호우사상을 추출하여 모의를 수행하였다. 유출 특성 분석을 위해 12개의 소유역과 5개의 하도로 구성하였으며 HEC-HMS의 손실량 산정방법으로는 SCS Curve Number법을 사용하였고, 단위도는 Clark 단위 도법을 적용하였다. CAT모형에서 침투는 Rainfall Excess방법, 하도추적은 Muskingum 방법을 적용하였다. 관측치와 모의치의 적합도 검증을 위해 RMSE (Root Mean Square Error), NSE (Nash Sutcliffe Efficiency), $R^2$값을 산정하여 비교 분석하였다.
