It is widely cultivated in many countries, especially in Central and South America. However, numerous viruses such as alstroemeria carlavirus (AlCV), alstroemeria mosaic virus (AlMV), cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV), alstroemeria streak virus (AlSV), and impatiens necrotic virus (INSV) can infect Alstroemeria and significantly decrease its yield (Kim, 2020). Among these viruses, AlMV is well known to cause an endemic viral disease in the Netherlands (Corine M. et al. 1992). AlMV is a member of the genus potyvirus in the family Potyviridae, one of the most widely distributed families of plant viruses. In 2021, symptomatic alstroemeria plants showing interveinal leaf streaking with elongated light green and chlorosis of leaves were identified from farms in a greenhouse in Gwangju, South Korea. Potyvirus-like partic...

Sasa leaves have been suggested to have anti-diabetic, anti-cancer, and anti-inflammatory effects. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a disease characterized by chronic inflammatory disorders of the gastrointestinal tract. The aim of this study is to investigate the possible protective role of Sasa quelpaertensis leaf extract (SQE) on dextran sodium sulphate (DSS)-induced colitis in mice model. We found that SQE attenuated the severity of IBD assessed by disease activity index (DAI) score, shrinkage of colon length, and histopathological changes. SQE also significantly suppressed the DSS-induced serum inflammatory cytokines including TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6. Furthermore, SQE down-regulates the expression of TNF- α, COX-2, iNOS, NF-kB, and PPARγ. Furthermore, SQE down-regulated ERK1/2 phosphorylation, but not p38 or JNK. These results suggest that SQE may a protective role in gut inflammation including ...

Compared to 'Verena' that have been continuously grown in the bare ground, 'Verenas' moved to the non-heated greenhouse have bloomed about a month earlier. Compared to the 'Moonstar' that has been left in the bare ground, the 'Moonstar' moved to the heated greenhouse, bloomed about two months earlier. Applying this, it seems that if the farmhouse installs a separate facility and warms it up, it will be able to help the farmhouse economy by harvesting flowers during the off-season. 'Moonstar' and 'Moonlight' grown in the heated greenhouse, where the conditions for flowering buds do not fit, were moved to the bare ground, the heated greenhouse, and the non-heated greenhouse, respectively. Although all individuals bloomed, deformed were shown in 'Moonlight' kept in the heated greenhouse, and deformed flower buds formed in 'Moonlight' moved to the bare ground. This was not a normal flower bud differentiation condition, so it appears that deformed flower buds were formed. Looking at the results of differentiation between 'Moonstar' and 'Moonlight', it is expected that 'Moonlight' has a slower flowering period than 'Moonstar' due to the nature of the species.

Also determined changes of pH and sugar content during fermentation for 3days. Results：The values for DPPH radical scavenging activity of Cnidii Rhizoma fermented by Aspergillus oryzae (86.6%) was higher than that of Aspergillus Kawauchi (77.9%). I n α-amylase inhibitory activity, fermented by Aspergillus Kawauchi had the highest inhibitory activity among other groups. But in α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, fermented by Aspergillus oryzae had the highest inhibitory activity among other groups. While all groups of the sugar content increased During 3days fermentation, the pH was decreased. Conclusions：Ba...

The current study investigated the effect of walking and user interface elements on visual search on a mobile device, isolating the effects on perceptual and cognitive processes. The effects of object size, contrast, and target location on mobile devices while walking and standing were examined. A serial visual search using "T" and "L" shapes on a mobile device, which controlled for physical target selection involvement was conducted. The results showed that walking, bigger object size, and the target position in the outer area of the mobile device display slowed the visual search response time. This suggests that walking causes a negative performance effect not only on the physical task but also on the cognitive process while interacting with the mobile user interface. In addition, the results of the study suggest that the placing of major content and call-to-action items in the inner area of the display are likely to improve task performance on a mobile device. v DEDICATION I would like to dedicate my thesis to my father, Dr. In Bae Kim (1948-2011), who taught, encouraged, supported, and guided me for all my life.

Healthy cattle are a reservoir of E. coli O157:H7, and bovine food products and fresh produce contaminated with bovine waste are the most common sources for disease outbreaks in the United States. E. coli O157:H7 also survives well in the environment. The abilities to cause human disease, colonize the bovine gastrointestinal tract, and survive in the environment require that E. coli O157:H7 adapt to a wide variety of conditions. Three major virulence factors of E. coli O157:H7 have been identified including Shiga toxins, products of the pathogenicity island called the locus of enterocyte effacement, and products of the F-like plasmid pO157. Among these virulence factors, the role of pO157 is least understood. This review provides a board overview of E. coli O157:H7 with an emphasis on pO157.

Methods: Thirty patients with skeletal class III malocclusion and mandibular prognathism or facial asymmetry were classified into two groups according to the amount of menton deviation (MD) from the facial midline on anteroposterior (AP) cephalogram: group A (asymmetry, MD ≥ 4 mm; n = 15) and group B (symmetry, MD < 4 mm; n = 15). Position and angle of condylar heads on the axial, sagittal, and coronal views were measured within 1 month preoperatively (T0) and postoperatively (T1) and 6 months (T2) postoperatively. Results: On axial view, both groups showed inward rotation of condylar heads at T1, but at T2, the change was gradually removed and the condylar head returned to its original position. At T1, both groups showed no AP condylar head changes on sagittal view, although downward movement of the condylar heads occurred. Then, at T2, the condylar heads tended to return to their original position. The change in distance between the two condylar heads showed that they had moved outward in both groups, causing an increase in the width between the two heads postoperatively. Analysis of all three-dimensional changes of the condylar head positions demonstrated statistically significant changes in the three different CBCT views in group B and no statistically significant changes in group A. Conclusions: There was no significant difference between the two groups in condylar head position. Because sagittal split ramus osteotomy can be performed without significant change in symmetrical and asymmetrical cases, it can be regarded as an effective method to stabilize the condylar head position in patients with skeletal class III malocclusion and mandibular prognathism or facial asymmetry.

Method: Data collection and analysis was conducted using a performance-based costing and activity-based costing method. Result: Direct nursing activities in the surgical ward were 68, indirect nursing activities were 10. The total cost volume of the surgical ward was calculated at 119,913,334.5. The cost volume of the allocated medical department was 91,588,200.3, and the ward consumed cost was 28,325,134.2. The revenue of the surgical nursing ward was 33,269,925.0. The expense of a surgical nursing ward was 28,325,134.2. Therefore, the net income of a surgical nursing ward was 4,944,790.8. Conclusion: We suggest that to develop a more refined nursing cost calculation model, a standard nursing cost calculation system needs to be developed.

The criteria for subjects in this study were those under 18.5(kg/m 2) of the BMI; subsequently, a total of 233 females were enrolled. The results were: First, the nominal size for female adult formal dress suggested by the KS standard is suggested in 20 sections. The sections for underweight women are 7, (34 women who accounted for 14.59% out of 233 in total). The cover efficiency was 2.08% (which was very low). Second, tests showed that the average difference between the reference part body size of 7 sections for underweight women in the normal size section of bust cir.-hip cir.-height, and KS standard, waist cir. among reference sizes was rather small in the case of a nominal size for long height. Therefore, there is a significant difference with size in the KS standard and a sizing system proven improper for underweight woman. Third, the basic body sizes and reference body sizes were different due to the size system establishment according to measurements of underweight subjects. The research findings suggest that it is necessary to understand underweight types according to bust girth and hip girth sizes that represent basic sizes as well as to design patterns that consider the underweight body shape characteristics when women's tops are designed.

The PBMS test involves presumptive qualitative procedures, detecting the presence of Salmon이la spp. in foods within 26 h total testing period and allowing the user to release negative products 70 h earlier than the conventional methods. The PBMS test using Buffered Peptone Water and Rappaport-Vassiliadis broth was evaluated for 10 different food types for various Salmonella spp. It showed detection limits of 1 to 25 colony forming units (CFU)/25 g. No cross-reaction was observed, particularly to other gram negative bacteria. These results indicate the PBMS test is a rapid and inexpensive procedure for the screening of Salmonella spp. present at low concentrations (1 to 25 CFU/25 g) in foods. (Asian-Aust.
Glucocorticoids regulate multiple physiological processes such as metabolic homeostasis and immun... more Glucocorticoids regulate multiple physiological processes such as metabolic homeostasis and immune response. Mouse Pon2 (mPon2) acts as an antioxidant to reduce cellular oxidative stress in cells. In this present study, we investigated the transcriptional regulation of mPon2 by glucocorticoids. In the presence of glucocorticoid analogue dexamethasone, the expression of mPon2 mRNA in cells was increased, whereas the expression was inhibited by a transcription inhibitor actinomycin D. Glucocorticoid receptors bound to the putative glucocorticoid response elements located between-593 bp and-575 bp of the mPon2 promoter. Transcriptional activity was completely blocked when the putative element was mutated. Taken together, these results suggest that the expression of the mPon2 gene is directly regulated by glucocorticoid-glucocorticoid receptor complexes. [BMB reports 2009; 42(7): 421-426]
