16세기에 제작된 초기 낙중낙외도 병풍의 고찰을 통하여 사방위와 사계절을 결합하여 표 현되는 3차원의 시공간 표현의 기원을 살펴보았다. 동아시아에서는 예로부터 사계절의 순환 을 통한 새로운 봄의 시각화는 우주 만물의 순조로운 운행과 이상향을 상징하는 주제였다. 특히 정월은 해가 바뀌고 처음으로 돌아오는 달로 새해의 풍년과 안녕을 기원하는 중요한 시 기이며, 12달 중에 예축적인 세시풍속이 가장 많이 집중된 달이었다. 이 기념비적인 병풍은 초토화된 교토를 재건하면서 도시의 번영을 기원하고 예축하는 의미를 지녔다. 초기 낙중낙 외도 병풍의 곳곳에 이들의 예축활동이 세밀하게 묘사된 것은 도시도 병풍이라는 매체가 지 닌 예축의 기능에 충실히 부합하는 선택된 화제였다고 생각된다. 16세기의 낙중낙외도 병풍에는 사방사계의 아름다움으로 장엄미를 강조하는 중세회화의 면모와 미시적이고 다양한 인간 양태의 묘사에 집중하는 근세 풍속화로의 태동이 모두 감지 된다는 점에서 그 의의를 찾을 수 있다.

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare disease that arises from an abnormal increase in histiocytes. Due to its rare occurrence, the diagnosis of LCH is often delayed or missed. This report presents a case of LCH in a 16-month-old girl. After biopsy, the patient’s previous medical records were obtained. The records described the presence of a yellowish plaque on the forehead since birth, a characteristic feature of LCH. Earlier knowledge of this medical history would have helped facilitate the diagnosis of LCH. This report aims to inform clinicians of the clinical and histopathological features of LCH in order to aid in the early diagnosis of this disease, which can occur in infancy.

배추 재배시기에 따른 품질특성을 비교하기 위해 월별 배추의 생육특성과 이화학특성, 미생물 특성을 분석하고 군집분석을 수행하였다. 군집특성은 5-6월(I), 7월과 10월 (II), 8-9월(III), 11-12월과 1월(IV), 2-4월(V) 총 5그룹으로 분류되는데 이는 배추 작형과도 대부분 일치되었다. 주성분 분석을 통한 그룹별 특성의 경우 I 그룹은 미생물 수, II와 III 그룹은 수분함량, IV, V 그룹은 구중과 유리당 함량이 높은 것으로 분석되었다. 배추 품질특성에서 높은 상관관계를 보이는 항목은 구중과 결구율, 고형분 함량과 유리당 함량이었고, 고형분 함량과 유리당 함량을 회귀식으로 나타내면 Y(유리당) = 0.8195X(고형분 함량) - 1.2451로 나타낼 수 있는데 이를 활용해 배추의 고형분 함량으로 유리당 함량을 추정할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구를 통한 월별 배추의 품질특성은 해당 시기에 김치를 제조할 때 기초자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

A 2-month-old Turkish Angora cat presented with multiple skin masses after first vaccination and spot-on antiparasitic treatment. There was no hair loss or pruritis, and tests revealed negative for the feline leukemia and immunodeficiency viruses. Biopsy revealed densely packed eosinophils in sparse dermal tissue with a few mast cells. These lesions did not respond promptly to prednisolone treatment, but they regressed without relapse over the following month, despite sequential vaccinations and anti-parasitic treatment. The present case is interesting considering the rarity of multiple eosinophilic granuloma development in a very young cat with a recent history of vaccination and antiparasitic treatment.

Background: Progressive muscle weakness is aggravated not only in the skeletal muscles but also in the respiratory muscles in many patients with neuromuscular diseases (NMD). Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) has been reported as therapy for pulmonary rehabilitation to improve respiratory strength, endurance, exercise capacity, and quality of life, and to reduce dyspnea. Objects: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of playing harmonica for 5 months on pulmonary function by assessing the force vital capacity (FVC), peak cough flow (PCF), maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP), maximal expiratory pressure (MEP), and maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV) in patients with NMD. Methods: Six subjects with NMD participated in this study. The subjects played harmonica once a week for 2 hours at a harmonica academy and twice a week for 1 hour at home. Thus, training was performed thrice a week for 23 weeks. The examiner assessed pulmonary function by measuring FVC in the sitting and supine positions and PCF, MIP, MEP, and MVV in the sitting position at the beginning of training and once a month for 5 months. Results: Both sitting and supine FVC significantly increased after playing harmonica (p=.042), as did MIP (p=.043) and MEP (p=.042). Conclusion: Playing harmonica can be used as an effective method to improve pulmonary function in patients with NMD.

We observed the external genitalia and uterus of a 24-month-old freemartin Hanwoo. The vulva was smaller than observed in a normal female Hanwoo, while the clitoris was larger in the freemartin. The angle between the external genitalia and the perineum also varied. Upon internal genital examination, the uterus of the freemartin was a thin tube approximately 18 cm in size and had not differentiated into a normal uterus and uterine horns.

This study was conducted to analyze the effect of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on the equine chromosomes (ECA) 3 for the body conformations of 12 month of age in Jeju crossbred (Jeju horses × Thoroughbred). A total of 199 Jeju crossbred horse samples were obtained from the National Institute of Subtropical Livestock Research Institute for this study. To correctly estimate the body conformations, we measured thirteen elements relevant to the body conformation such as body weight, wither height, body length for all the 199 horses at 12 month of age. Furthermore, all the horses were genotyped using four SNPs including the BIEC2-808466, BIEC2-808543, BIEC2-808967, BIEC2-809370, of which genomic coordinates range approximately from 105.1Mbp to 110 Mbp in the ECA3. For the phenotypic data sets, the average body weight was 193.7 ± 24.5㎏ and the height was 124.5 ± 4.0㎝. As for the genotypic data, the miner allele frequencies of the SNPs were shown to be varied from 0.01 to 0.291. Using the phenotypic and genotypic data sets, analysis of covariance was performed to find any association between those SNP genotypes and body conformations, using year of birth, month of birth, sex, and parity as the covariance components. The result showed that alternative genotypes in the BIEC2-808967 and BIEC2-809370 SNPs were significantly associated with the body length (P<0.05) and the wither height (P<0.05) respectively in the Jeju crossbred horses. Therefore, it is estimated that there are significant associations in the body conformation of 12 month of age of Jeju crossbred for those two SNPs used in this study.

This study was performed to determine the optimal month of harvest between May and July for wild peach (Prunus davidiana) by comparison of functional materials. The general composition, amino acid and vitamin (A, C, and E) content, and antioxidant activity were determined. With respect to the general composition of wild peach according to the month of harvest, wild peach harvested in May (HMP) and July (HJP) contained mostly carbohydrate, the contents of which amounted to 77.37 g/100 g and 77.92 g/100 g, respectively. The total amino acid content of HMP and HJP were 675.29 mg% and 573.25 mg%, respectively. Regarding the vitamin contents, vitamin A (retinol), E (α-tocopherol) and C in HMP were higher than those in HJP. The total polyphenol content of HMP (218.37 mg TAE/g) was higher than that of HJP (71.45 mg TAE/g). The total flavonoid content of HMP (64.95 mg RE/g) was also higher than that of HJP (32.67 mg RE/g). Moreover, the DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities (IC50) were higher in HMP (137.18 μg/mL and 157.15 μg/mL) than those in HJP (160.10 μg/mL and 186.01 μg/mL), meaning that the former produces better antioxidant effects. It can be concluded that wild peach harvested in May contained higher functional materials such as vitamins and amino acids and had a higher antioxidant effect, than wild peach harvested in july.

A-7-month-old, intact male Shih-Tzu dog was referred with facial dermatitis and stifle pain with 7 days duration. Erythema, hemorrhage, and crusted nodular lesions of the face, swollen eyelids, and otitis externa were observed. A painful response was noted on palpation of the right stifle joint. Impression smears and skin biopsies revealed pyogranulomatous inflammation consistent with canine juvenile cellulitis (CJC). Skin lesions and pain were greatly improved following immunosuppressive corticosteroid therapy. This report firstly describes clinical and histopatho- logical findings as well as treatment responses of CJC in a 7-month-old, domestic dog.

The present case study highlights the effects of a novel Comprehensive Hand Repetitive Intensive Strengthening Training (CHRIST) on morphological changes and associated upper extremity (UE) muscle strength and motor performance in a child with spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy (CP). The Child, a 10-year-old girl with spastic quadriplegic CP, was treated with CHRIST for 60 minutes a day, five times a week, for 5 weeks. The CHRIST was designed to improve motor function and strength. Clinical tests including the modified Wolf Test, Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test, and Pediatric Motor Activity Log questionnaire were used to determine motor function. Ultrasound imaging was performed to determine the changes in the cross-section area (CSA) of the extensor carpi radialis (ECR) and triceps brachii (TRI). Muscle strength was measured with a dynamometer at pretest, and post-test, and 3-month follow-up. Ultrasound imaging data showed that the CSAs of both ECR and TRI muscles were enhanced as a function of the intervention. These changes were associated with muscle strength and motor performance and their effects remained even at a 3-month follow-up test. Our results suggest that the CHRIST was effective at treating muscle atrophy, weakness and motor dysfunction in a child with spastic quadriplegic CP.

Recently, epidemiological evidence has raised concerns that moderate elevation in body iron stores may increase oxidative stress and the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer. Onion flesh or peel contains antioxidant such as flavonoids and alk(en)ylcysteine sulphoxides. This study was conducted to examine the effect of onion flesh or peel feeding on antioxidative capacity in aged rats supplemented with high dietary iron. Thirty-two Sprague-Dawley male 16-month-old rats weighing 618±6g were acclimated for 10 days with medium-iron diet (35ppm in diet), and blocked into 4 groups according to their body weights and raised for 3 months on either control diets (adequate iron-35ppm or high iron-350ppm) or experimental diets containing onion flesh/peel (5% w/w in diet) with high iron (350ppm). Rats fed high iron-onion peel diet had significantly high quercetin and isorhamnetin levels in plasma whereas rats fed high iron-onion flesh diet did not show. Plasma TBARS level was lowered by onion flesh or peel diet with high iron supplementation. However, there was no significant difference in cellular DNA damage in brain and kidney tissue among all experimental groups. We concluded that high iron diet (10 times higher than requirement) tend to increase oxidative stress and it is plausible that onion flesh or peel feeding enhances antioxidative capacity in the elderly even with iron supplementation.

Purpose: This research aims to explore the level of air pollution in Jakarta, the epicenter of COVID-19 Pandemic in Indonesia and its surrounding provinces during the first month of the Pandemic. Research design, data and methodology: This study uses data, which have been obtained real time from API (Application Programming Interfaces) of air quality website. The measurements of Air Quality Index (AQI), temperature, humidity, and other factors from several cities and regencies in Indonesia were obtained eight times a day. The data collected have been analyzed using descriptive statistics and mapped using QGIS. Results: The finding of this study indicates that The Greater Jakarta Area experienced a decrease in pollutant levels, especially in the Bogor area. Nevertheless, some areas, such as the north Jakarta, have exhibited slow reduction. Furthermore, the regions with high COVID-19 confirmed cases have experienced a decline in AQI. Conclusions: The study concludes that the air quality of three provinces, Jakarta, Banten, and West Java, especially in cities located in the Jakarta Metropolitan Area during COVID-19 pandemic and large-scale social restrictions, is getting better. However, in some regions, the reduction of pollutant concentrations requires a longer time, as it was very high before the pandemic.

The curtain wall performance test is mainly carried out to prevent any problems that may occur after the installation by checking whether there is a problem beforehand in the construction of the outer wall of the middle and large type construction. Since it is tested under harsh environmental conditions by applying domestic and foreign standards, many problems are found, and the biggest purpose is to improve the problems of design and construction through testing and to install better quality window products. In this study, the structural sealant products distributed in Korea were exposed to the outdoor exposure zone of the Seosan outdoor exposure test site, and compared with the curtain wall performance test of the product and the degradation of the product after 12 months outdoor exposure. In the future, it will be possible to apply the performance evaluation to the product comparison evaluation after exposing for more than 2 years.

지 신뢰성 있는 댐유입량의 장기예측은 효율적인 댐운영에 필수적이다. 2000년대 이후 엘리뇨-남방진동(ENSO) 등의 전구기후지수와 지역수문기후 와의 원격상관성이 규명되면서, 이를 활용한 미래의 수문조건을 예측하기 위한 연구가 활발히 시도되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 안동댐유역을 대상으로 미국 NOAA에서 제공하는 40개 전구기후지수의 원격상관을 분석하고, 이를 기반으로 1개월 선행 댐유입량의 예측성능 및 활용성을 평가하였다. 본 연구에서는 1) 원격상관을 통해 강수와 기온을 예측하고 SWAT 모델을 이용하여 예측 댐유입량을 산정하는 방법(SWAT-Forecasted), 직접 댐유입 량을 예측하는 기법(CIR-Forecasted), 예측시점의 관측값이 과거자료에서 해당하는 순위(rank)에 근거한 방법(Rank-Observed)을 비교하였다. 결 과적으로 통계적 방법으로 댐유입량을 직접 예측하는 접근 방식(CIR-Forecasted)이 12월을 제외하고는 다른 방법에 비해 우수한 예측성을 보였다. 이것은 강수량 및 기온 예측정보를 일단위로 상세화하는 가정과 유출모델링과정에서 발생하는 불확실성이 예측결과에 포함되지 않기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구결과는 원격상관기반의 1개월 선행 댐유입량 예측이 안동댐 운영에 유용한 정보를 제공할 수 있는 것을 시사하였다.

정원 디자인 시 국내에서 이용 가능한 다년초 선정을 위한 목록을 만들고자 국내 화훼종묘회사와 생산농원 그리고 상업적 정원, 식물원, 수목원 홈페이지 160여 개를 검색하여, 보유 또는 생산하는 다년초의 사진, 학명, 일반명, 화색, 초장, 개화기의 6개 항목을 게시한 ㈜대한종묘조경, 우리꽃, 한택식물원을 대상으로 게시된 다년초를 정리하였다. 전체 다년초에서 생육 특성이 다른 구근류, 암석원식물, 그래스류, 고사리류, 수생식물을 분리하여 이들을 제외한 나머지를 다년초라 하여 전체 다년초를 6개 식물군으로 나누었다. 6개 생육 특성별 식물을 각각 파랑(blue), 녹색(green), 주황(orange), 분홍(pink), 보라(purple), 빨강(red), 은색(silver), 흰색(white), 노랑(yellow)의 9가지 화색으로 나누고 같은 화색 내에서 초장을 고(120cm 이상), 중(60-120cm), 저(60cm 이하)의 세 단계로 나누어 해당하는 식물을 학명의 알파벳순으로 배치하여 1월부터 12월까지 개화 월을 표시하는 정원용 다년초의 목록을 만들었다. 조사한 자료에서 중부지방에서 정원용으로 이용할 수 있는 전체 다년초는 1,091종류이며 다년초 839종류, 구근류 58종류, 암석원식물 46종류, 그래스류 70종류, 고사리류 46종류, 수생식물 32종류로 나눌 수 있었다. 전체 다년초는 화색별로 파랑 7.2%, 녹색 7.5%, 주황 2.8%, 분홍 17.0%, 보라 15.9%, 빨강 4.2%, 은색 0.5%, 흰색 24.7%, 노랑 20.0%로 나눌 수 있었는데 흰색과 노랑, 분홍, 보라의 화색을 가진 종류가 가장 많고 엽색이 포함된 은색과 초록을 제외하면 정원의 화려함을 더해주는 주황과 빨강, 파랑의 화색이 부족하였다. 전체 다년초의 6.0%만이 120cm 이상의 높은 초장이었고, 60-120cm 사이의 중간 초장은 24.9%, 60cm 이하의 초장은 69.1%였다. 1월부터 12월까지 월별로 전체 다년초의 0.0, 0.2, 1.1, 5.9, 11,5, 22.8, 22.3, 20.7, 10.1, 5.1, 0.3, 0.1%가 개화했는데 5, 6, 7, 8월에 77.3%가 개화하였다.

We compared the results of early follow-up of F-18 FDG PET/CT and MRI performed within one month after radiation therapy for cervix cancer patients. We conducted a retrospective review of the clinical data of cervix cancer patients whose PET/CT and pelvic MRI performed at staging and within one month from the end of RTx. SUVmax on PET/CT and size on MRI of the primary tumor were analyzed. We compared %change of SUVmax and size between staging and follow-up. A total of 27 patients were enrolled. At staging, larger tumor showed high SUVmax. At follow-up, no significant correlation was observed between size and SUVmax. In 77.8% of patients, changes in SUVmax were well correlated with changes in size. No correlation was observed between % change and value at staging in both SUVmax and size. Except for six patients who showed significant FDG uptake without evidence of a mass on MRI, % changes of size and SUVmax were well correlated. Metabolic change can be accessible on early follow-up PET/CT at±1 month from the end of the RTx of cervix cancer. However, careful interpretation of PET/CT is needed due to possible radiation-induced hypermetabolism even without a definite mass on MRI.
