Background: Patients who underwent rotator cuff repair (RCR) require management to control pain and prevent re tear and stiffness. Thoracic mobilization has been applied for the improvement of vertebra and shoulder movements and pain reduction. Also, core stability exercise is an intervention necessary for rehabilitation after shoulder surgery. Objectives: To examine the short term benefits of thoracic mobilization and core stability exercise for patients after RCR. Design: Randomized controlled trial with multi arm parallel group and single blind assessor. Methods: 30 participants after RCR were recruited. Participants were categorized into conventional physical therapy (CPT) group, thoracic mobilization (TM) group, and core stability exercise (CSE) group according to the randomization program. Each treatment, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimuli (TENS), TM, and CSE was applied to each group. 3 physical therapists only conducted evaluations; VAS (visual analogue scale), ROM (range of motion), and Korean version of Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI). Results: VAS and SPADI were statistically reduced, and ROM was statistically improved in all 3 groups. In between three group comparisons of changes in outcome variables, there was not a significant difference in VAS, but there was a significant difference in ROM and SPADI. In the post hoc test, ROM and SPADI showed a significant difference in TM and CSE compared to CPT. Conclusion: TM according to Maitland concept and CSE had beneficial effects compared to CPT in patients after RCR.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been recognized as a therapeutic tool for various diseases due to its unique ability for tissue regeneration and immune regulation. However, poor survival during in vitro expansion and after being administrated in vivo limits its clinical uses. Accordingly, protocols for enhancing cell survivability is critical for establishing an efficient cell therapy is needed. CDDOMe is a synthetic C-28 methyl ester of 2-cyano-3,12-dioxoolean-1,9-dien-28-oic acid, which is known to stimulate nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)- antioxidant response element (ARE) pathway. Herein, report that CDDO-Me promoted the proliferation of MSCs and increased colony forming units (CFU) numbers. No alteration in differentiation into tri-lineage mesodermal cells was found after CDDO-Me treatment. We observed that CDDO-Me treatment reduced the cell death induced by oxidative stress, demonstrated by the augment in the expression of Nrf2-downstream genes. Lastly, CDDO-Me led to the nuclear translocation of NRF2. Our data indicate that CDDO-Me can enhance the functionality of MSCs by stimulating cell survival and increasing viability under oxidative stress.

Lonicera caerulea (Honey berry, HB) has been used in medical treatment in Russia, Japan, China and Korea. It has high level of vitamin C and polyphenolics. Polyphenolics can improve anti-inflammatory effect and prevent cancer, diabetes mellitus type 2. Also, Vitamin C is a representative anti-oxidant. however, it is still unknown what effect it will have on the oxidation stress of the reproductive system. In previous studies, ROS can be produced when it is exposed to heat stress and has negative effect on sperm’s maturation, capacitation, hyperactivation, acrosome reaction and fusion of egg and sperm. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the antioxidant effects of L. Caerulea on the sperm and mice. At first, it conducted using ICR mouse (n = 20) for 4 weeks. There are four groups of mice (n = 5 per group). Also, L. Caerulea was taken by oral gavage. Group I (control) kept at 23℃-27℃ and administer D.W (0.5 mL/day), Likewise, Group II (HB) kept at room temperature but gave HB (250 mg/kg, 0.5 mL/day), Group III (HB + HS) received heat stress (40℃) using hyperthermia induction chamber and gave HB at same dose. and Group IV (HS) exposed heat stress only. Mainly, we showed degree of gene expression using Western blot in SOD, HSP 70, 17β-HSD and Real-time PCR. It can find correlation between intracellular activity like steroid hormone, apoptosis under ROS and antioxidant activity of L. Caerulea.

Diabetic mellitus (DM) is a carbohydrate metabolic disorder that involves high blood sugar because insulin works abnormally. Type 2 diabetes accounts for most of them. However, diabetes treatments such as GLP-1 and DPP-4 inhibitors commonly caused side effects including gastrointestinal disorders. Grifola frondosa (G. frondosa) revealed various pharmacological effects in recent studies. It has a variety of anti-cancer polysaccharides through host-mediated mechanisms. D-fraction in G. frondosa has apoptotic effects, promoting myeloid cell proliferation and differentiation into granulocytes-macrophages. It has also been shown to reduce the survival rate of breast cancer cells. Though, no further study has been conducted on the specific effects of G. frondosa in the db/db mouse. Therefore, we would like to research the blood glucose improving effect of G. frondosa, a natural material, in type 2 diabetes model mouse, in this study. G. frondosa was administered to the disease model mouse (BKS.Cg-+Leprdb/+Leprdb/OlaHsd) for 8 weeks to monitor weight and blood glucose changes every week. And we evaluated anti-diabetes effects by checking biomarker changes shown through blood. Experiment did not show statistically significant weight differences, but control groups showed significantly higher weight gain than G. frondosa administered groups. We collected blood from the tail veins of the db/db mouse each week. As a result, the lowest blood sugar level was shown in the 500 mg/ kg group of G. frondosa. Glucose in the blood was examined with HBA1c, and 7.8% was shown in the 500 mg/kg administration group, lower than in other groups. These results suggest the potential improvements of diabetes in G. frondosa.

We investigated the effect of a synthetic complement peptide C3a on the outcome of Brucella abortus 544 infection in a murine macrophage cell line RAW264.7 cell. First, we determined the highest non-cytotoxic concentration of the peptide in the cell line. We also found that the peptide significantly increased the growth of the bacteria at 8 and 24 h. Although the number of bacterial CFU was also elevated at 48 and 72 h, the increases were not significant as compared to controls. We further investigated the effect of C3a peptide on the growth of Brucella by pre-incubating the peptide at various temperatures and found that the effect was reversed at 24 h post-incubation suggesting that incubation of peptide at high temperatures including 65°C or 95°C could inactivate its action. This also could indicate the beneficial effect of high temperature during infection. Although several studies reported the inhibitory effect of different antimicrobial peptides including C3a, the present study preliminarily revealed that it had no positive contribution on the control of B. abortus 544 infection in vitro and indirectly to its receptor, CD88, which belongs to GPCR. Moreover, the encouraged further exploration of the effect of other similar peptides would be performed for the purpose of finding Brucella-host cell interaction for the control of disease progression.

This study aims to investigate the effects of exogenous succinic acid (SCA) on Brucella (B.) abortus infection in macrophage RAW 264.7 cells and ICR mice. Firstly, the in vitro experiment was conducted by MTT cytotoxicity and bacterial internalization assay to evaluate the uptake of B. abortus into macrophage cells. Two non-cytotoxic concentrations of SCA demonstrated attenuated invasion of Brucella into macrophages at 30 and 45 min post- infection (pi). Secondly, ICR mice were treated with SCA and infected with B. abortus. On day-14 pi, spleen and blood serum were collected to evaluate the bacterial burden and total spleen weight as well as the production of cytokine/chemokine, respectively. The results showed that SCA treatment promoted bacterial growth and reduced the total spleen weight in mice. Furthermore, SCA treatment increased the level of IL-10 cytokine in the sera, while dampening the production of MCP-1 chemokine compared to the control. The results of bacterial load in spleen and spleen weight together with cytokine/chemokine production profile in the sera indicated that SCA induced the host anti-inflammatory response which is beneficial for the survival of Brucella. Therefore, these findings suggest that SCA contributed to host immunity against Brucella infection and the emerging potential topic-immunometabolism should be invested for further investigations.

Patient-controlled sedation systems, in which the patient has control of sedative administration, have been shown to be effective and safe for patients undergoing minor procedures. Safety depends on the adequacy of the step-wise increase in dose of the sedative, the lockout time and patient’s ability to adjust the effective activation of the handset. While there is no patient-controlled sedation (PCS) system available domestically, we have developed a new purpose-built PCS pump, and determined its degree of precision using a microweight measuring scale. The PCS system was designed to be applied to most intravenous sedatives and work through a newly developed operating software algorithm that titrates the doses and lockout times. Our system titrates the doses through software modification, and for experimental purposes, the number of steps for handset activation by the patient was set to four, and the lockout time was set to 30 s. The degree of precision of the PCS system was tested using an electronic weighing scale. The comparison of the amount infused via the PCS system with weight on the scale showed nearly same patterns at the four infusion stages, and the difference was minimal (3% on average at each infusion step). We designed and manufactured a pilot button-type PCS pump capable of use by the patient for optimal sedation, and confirmed the precise working mechanism of the pump, thereby reducing the margin of error for infusion accuracy to 3% or less on average

Declined salivary gland function is commonly observed in patients with diabetes. Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are believed to contribute to the pathogenesis of diabetes-induces hypofunction of the salivary glands. Polydatin (resveratrol-3-O-β-mono-D-glucoside) is a polyphenol that can be easily accessed from peanut, grape, and red wines. Although polydatin is known to have anti-glycation, anti-oxidation, and anti-inflammation effects, its effect in the salivary gland is not known. In the present study, we evaluated the AGEs burden in the salivary gland in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats and the protective effect of polydatin on diabetes-related salivary hypofunction. Polydatin (50 and 100 mg/kg/day) was orally administered in the STZ-induced diabetic rats for 4 weeks. The results showed that the salivary flow rate of the STZ-induced diabetic rats was reduced compared with that in the normoglycemic control rats. The circulating AGEs in serum and secreted AGEs in saliva increased in the STZ-induced diabetic rats. The reactive oxygen specises (ROS) were highly generated in the salivary gland in these diabetic rats. The salivary gland from the diabetic rats showed increased acinar cell apoptosis compared to normoglycemic control mice. However, polydatin suppressed all of these diabetes-related salivary changes. Overall, polydatin could provide a beneficial option for diabetes-related salivary hypofunction.

Post-disturbance recovery pattern of subtidal soft corals-macroalgae mixed community and the role of water depth were investigated. The experiment was conducted in a subtidal rock wall of Munseom, Jeju Island, Korea for 2.5 years. Artificial disturbance was done at established treatment plots at depths of 10, 15 and 20 m and were then compared with undisturbed control plots. After disturbance, recovery of soft corals was very slow, whereas macroalgae quickly occupied the plots and reached a similar level as the control in 6 months, and this pattern was consistent at all water depths. This unbalanced speed of recovery caused higher macroalgae establishment than soft corals in treatment compared to control plots, indicating a possible phase shift in the community structure. This study provides an important implication for the necessity of monitoring the influence of disturbance at a larger scale, from a conservation perspective of soft corals in Jeju coast.

인간은 문장이나 담화에서 이동, 운율적 강조 등의 방법으로 진리 조건적인 의미를 바꾸지 않으면서도 청자에게 효과적으로 전달하기 위해 정보를 구조화한다. 교사가 표현하는 한자의 ‘형음의’의 담화 구조도 신・구 정보적 특징을 지닌 분절된 정보가 될 수 있다. 실제로 이 ‘X는 Y이다’라는 판단구는 교수자, 학습자의 낭독 과정 속에서 충분히 발생한다. 이에 본고는 한자의 형음의를 제시하는 구조를 3 가지로 분류했다. 각각 ①식(예 : 靑 청 푸르다), ②식(예 : 靑 푸르다 청), ③식(예 : 靑 푸를 청)으로 개괄하고 이 3가지 구조 방식에 의사소통역량과 파도 모형이론을 적용하여 정보량 차이의 존재 여부를 살피고 각 식의 기능적 측면에서 접근했다. ①식(예 : 靑 청 푸르다)은 뜻에 중점을 둔 구조로 특히 오른쪽에 열린 공간을 통해서 의미를 더 자세히 제시할 수 있는 구조로 한문의 독해에 유용한 구조이고, ②식 (靑 :푸르다 청)은 언어 생활에서의 활용을 강조하되, 문장 독해 학습에도 중점을 둔 구조로 주로 교수자들이 선호한 구조이다. ③식은 수식어‧중심어의 단순한 통사구조를 통해 학생들이 뜻을 쉽게 이해하고, 口誦을 쉽게 할 수 있는 구조로 언어생활에서 사용되는 음이 강조된 구조이 고 한자서의 音義의 설명에 유용한 구조이다. 이를 통해 한자의 형음의를 표현한 순서와 방법의 차이에 따라 전달하는 의미에 차이가 있을 수 있어 이에 해당하는 적당한 방법을 모색하는 것이 필요하고 한문 교육과 관련된 한자의 형음의를 표시하는 데에는 구습을 답습하지 않고 목표와 성격에 따라 합당한 구조의 모색을 강조했다.

Consumers have an increasingly active role in the marketing cycle, using social media channels to create, distribute, and consume digital content. In this context, this paper investigates the impact of user- and marketer-generated content on consumer purchase intentions and the approach to designing an effective social media marketing platform. Referencing a literature review of social media marketing and consumer purchase intentions, a case study of the social media-marketing platform, 0.8L, was undertaken using both qualitative and quantitative results through content analysis and a participatory survey. First, about 450 consumer reviews for ten sunscreen products posted on the 0.8L platform were compared with products’ marketer-generated content. Next, 55 subjects participated in a survey regarding purchase intentions toward moisturizing creams on the 0.8L platform. The results indicated that user-generated content (i.e., texts and photos) provided more personal experiences of the product usage process, whereas marketers focused on distinctive product photos and features. Moreover, customer reviews (particularly high volume and narrative format) had more impact on purchase decisions than marketer information in the online cosmetics market. Real users’ honest reviews (both positive and negative) were found to aid companies’ prompt and straightforward assessment of newly released products. In addition to the importance of customer-driven marketing practices, distinctive user experience design features of a competitive social media-marketing platform are identified to facilitate the creation and sharing of sincere customer reviews that resonate with potential buyers.

최근에 캐릭터 커스터마이징 서비스가 다양하게 보편화된 이후 서비스마다 모두 다른 UI와 용어들이 혼재하고 있어서 사용자들의 불편함도 함께 증가하고 있다. 또한 갑작스럽게 늘어난 서비스에 비해서 아직 활용할 수 있는 연구 결과나 디자인 가이드가 마땅히 없으므로 새로운 서비스를 기획하거나 개발할 때 참고할 만한 자료가 부재 하다. 본 연구에서는 현 시점에서 캐릭터 커스터마이징 UI들이 어떻게 구성되어 있는지 상위 5개의 메타버스, 모 바일 게임, PC게임 서비스의 캐릭터 커스터마이징 시스템 UI를 조사하고 경향을 분석했다. 첫째, 커스터마이 징 항목의 수는 분포가 매우 다양했다. 얼굴의 이미지 형성에 큰 영향을 미치는 눈, 눈썹, 입, 그리고 상체의 조절 항목이 가장 세분화 되어 있었다. 둘째, 용어의 일관성이 떨어져 기능을 인지하기 어려운 점이 발견되 었다. 셋째, 커스터마이징 조절 도구의 위치를 조사한 결과, 세로형 메타버스에서는 상￿하단에, 가로형 PC와 모바일 게임에서는 좌우 배치 또는 유동형 배치로 구성되어 있었다. 넷째, 커스터마이징 조절 도구의 유형은 대분류에서는 선택형, 중분류에서는 선택형, 하위 단계에서 조절형으로 구성되었으며 일부 복합형도 있었다. 다섯째, 조절 수치의 범위 역시 일관성이 없고, 초기 값에 대한 상대적인 수치의 가감으로 조절하고 있어서 사용자들의 정확한 의사소통과 직관성을 위한 보완이 요구 되었다. 여섯째, 색상 선택 기능은 일부 항목에 한정되어 있었고, 시스템에 제안된 범위의 색을 선택하거나 색공간을 이용할 수 있었다. 패션 선호도와 트렌 드를 민감하게 반영하고 있는 점이 발견되었다.

This study explores effects of e-book and audio-book on EFL comprehension. It was conducted at a university in Korea with 75 college students. The whole experiment lasted for five weeks in 2020. To determine effectiveness of multiple modalities, participants were assigned to three different experimental groups: e-book, audio-book, and e-audio-book (a combination of e-book and audio-book) groups. While the e-book group was provided with passages in a text format, the audio group received the same passages in an audio format. The e-audio-book group was given both text and audio formats. At the beginning and end of the treatment, pretest and posttest were administered. As expected, the e-audio-book group benefited more than the other two groups in listening comprehension. However, they showed better performance in reading comprehension than the audio-book group only. Additionally, the e-book group performed better in reading comprehension compared to the audio-book group. Based on these findings, pedagogical implications are made.

본 연구는 MRI 검사 시 순간증모제의 산화철 성분에 의한 자화 감수성 인공물과 발열 정도에 대해 분석하였다. 인공물 정도 실험은 위상 부호화 방향을 다르게 SE, GRE 시퀀스를 사용하여 각각의 축상면 영상을 획득하였고, 3가지 종류의 순간증모제 부착 면으로부터 인공물 발생 지점까지의 길이를 10번 반복 측정하여 평가하였다. 발열 정도 실험은 GRE, FSE 시퀀스의 영상을 4번 반복 획득하여 PRF 기법을 통해 온도변화 영상을 재구성하였다. 인공물 측정 결과 스프레이형 의 GRE에서 최대 25.62 mm의 크기로 발생하였고, 시퀀스에 따라 GRE, SE 순서로 크게 나타났으며, 순간증모제 종류에 따라서도 인공물의 크기는 다양하게 나타났다. 또한, 분말형의 경우 강자장 구역에서 흩날림에 따라 장비 고장의 원인이 될 수 있음을 확인하였다. 발열 측정 결과 스프레이형은 최대 2°C, 분말형과 바르는 형에서 최대 1.2°C 이상의 온도 상승을 보였다. 결론적으로 MRI 검사 시 순간증모제에 의한 자화 감수성 인공물과 발열로 인해 진단적 가치 저하와 환자의 안전성에 적합하지 않다는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 검사 전 순간증모제 사용 여부에 관한 확인이 필요하며, 정확한 진단과 환자 의 안전을 위해 순간증모제를 씻어내고 MRI 검사를 시행할 것을 권고한다.

This paper introduces the current status of artificial intelligence-based recognition of Chinese characters and machine translation of Chinese characters (Classical Chinese texts), which is currently underway in Korea, and suggests future tasks. For the recognition of Chinese characters, this paper discusses the Chinese character segmentation using the Mask R-CNN algorithm and the Chinese character classification method using the Inception- Resnet-V2 algorithm, and explores the significance and limitations of the construction of Chinese character forms database. Regarding machine translation, this paper looks at the development of machine translation technology from Rule-Based Machine Translation (RBMT) to Neural Machine Translation (NMT); then, introduces the principles of neural network machine translation and techniques applied to improve performance. There are two types of machine translation for Classical Chinese texts: the machine translator provided by Baidu and the translator developed by the Institute for the Translation of Korean Classics (ITKC). Although the Baidu machine translator has various errors, the overall translation performance is somewhat higher than that of ITKC's machine translator. The ITKC's translator performs better than the Baidu translator in certain areas, but falls short of the Baidu translator in translating various types of Classical Chinese texts. In order to improve the performance of the machine translation of Classical Chinese texts, it is necessary tobuild a cloud-based translation platform, expand a high-quality parallel corpus, develop an additional system to improve machine translation performance, and develop a highly reliable translation evaluation method.

The purpose of this study was to examine job competencies for sales training program development to maximize profits in fashion retailing. An empirical online survey was conducted from September to December 2019, and data was collected from 200 salespeople and store managers working in fashion stores. Results were analyzed using frequency analysis, factor analysis, variance analysis, and regression analysis with SPSS 25.0. The major findings of this study were as follows. First, the most important job competencies identified by fashion store managers were: sales sense know-how, customer service skills, and sales person’s fashion style sense, product knowledge, fashion marketing and customer management. The job competency factors for sales training programs included empathy with the customer, product knowledge, communications and networking, basic job requirement, and sales skills. These five factors positively influenced the employment intentions and expectations of work performance of graduates. These factors also had a positive influence on the need of sales training program and intention to participate in retraining. Store managers in fashion retail thought the most appropriate period for on-the-job training was either 2-4 days or more than 1 week. The results of this study can be used as a base to develop training programs for job efficiency for salespeople in fashion retailing.

The study aims to analyze the mixed characteristics of knit fashion design as demonstrated in Sacai's collection, which promotes hybrid and mesh-up fusion and proposes various knit design ideas. Standards for categorizing mixed phenomena of Sacai’s knit design were established through a review of literature and data analysis. The study’s data collection period was from 2012 to 2021, and a total of 174 items were analyzed. The following are the results. First is the fusion of traditional knit and contemporary styles expressed through de-constructive design; traditional knit styles are combined with contemporary styles through color, material, and knitting structure mixtures, such as mixing Northern European Aran, Fair Isle, Nordic, and Ropy knit. Second, the Sakai knit design combines male and female styles by mixing materials and details. A deconstructed knit cardigan was matched with androcentric pin-striped shirts worn over layered shirring skirts embellished with chiffon and lace. Third, everyday street fashion style is blended with a formal, elegant fashion style. For example, the front view has a typical everyday appearance, whereas the back view contains florid and decorated details. The style is expressed as a 360-degrees appellation, with one thing in the front and another in the back. Sacai’s distinctive expressional characteristics include a mixed and de-constructive style characterized by unexpected design.
