Objectives : The degree of post-stroke depression was observed and then correlated to the recovery rate of the motor functions of the above treated stroke patients. Methods : The BDI SCALE(Beck Depression Inventory Scale) and motor grades of 50 diagnosed stroke patients who were hospitalized in Dong-Seo Oriental Hospital between the period of May 2002 to September 2002 were measured. After a 1 month recovery period the BDI SCALE and motor grade of the above mentioned patients were again measured and a correlation was observed. Results : A lower BDI SCALE was observed in patients with a higher motor grade recovery rate. Conclusion : The treatment of post-stroke depression is imperative for positive effects on the motor functions of stroke patients.

The tourmalines distributed in the Sangdong area belong to the dravite-schorl series in terms of the cell dimensions and the chemical compositions. Geochemical characteristics of tourmalines indicate that Naedeogni granite and pegmatite appear to be derived from Li-poor and Fe-riched aplite rocks, but Nonggeori granite is derived from Ca-poor or Si-riched pelitic rocks. The Mg+Fe contents of tourmaline in Naedeogni granitoids are decreased from the granites to the pegmatites with the Fe contents increased while Mg contents decreased. It indicates the differentiation during the crystallization of tourmalines. These phenomena are coincided with the chemical variations from cores toward rims of the zonal tourmalines. Such a compositional variations in Nonggeori granite can not be observed.

본 논문에서는 영상에서 연속적인 얼굴 표정 변화 인식 방법에 대하여 제안하였다. 제안된 방법은 가중 결합으로 정합 된 분류 그래프를 이용한 얼굴 특징점 추적과 특징 궤도와 표정 변화 모델의 비교에 의한 얼굴표정 인식의 두 가지 부분으로 구성된다. 표정 변화 모델은 얼굴 특징 동작과 표정의 변화사이의 연관 관계를 표현한 B-spline 곡선을 이용하여 구성된다. 유형뿐만 아니라 표정의 변화 단계까지 인식 할 수 있다. 더욱이 획득된 표정 정보는 다음 프레임의 추적의 지침으로 피드백 됨에 따라 추적의 검색 시간을 감소시킴으로서 교점 확산 구간을 최소화 할 수 있다.

생명현상을 이해하기 위해서는 단백질의 기능 규명이 이루어져야한다. 단백질 기능 규명을 위한 서열분석 방법은 서열 상동성이 현저히 낮은 경우 단백질 기능 예측이 불가능하고, 과거의 전체적인 단백질 구조 분석을 통한 기능 예측의 문제점이 보고되고 있다. 이 논문에서는 기능상 중요한 의미를 가지고 있는 단백질의 특정하위구조의 기하학적 특징을 추출하여 이 특징과 잔기의 위치와의 관계를 규명하였다. 또한 NaiveBayes, SVM, C4.5의 분류알고리즘을 이용하여 각 알고리즘별 분류성능을 평가하였다. 기능상 중요한 의미를 가지고 있는 특정하위구조를 비교함으로써 모르는 단백질의 기능을 예측할 수 있다.

본 논문에서는 다양하고 실재적인 조명과 얼굴방향에 관계없이 원활하게 실시간으로 눈을 추적하는 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 기존의 능동적 적외선 조명을 이용한 대다수의 눈 추적장치들은 밝은 동공효과를 이용하고 있다. 그러나, 눈 깜박임, 외부 조명 간섭과 같은 여러 가지 요소로 인하여 동공들이 충분하게 밝게 나타나지 않는 경우가 많이 있다. 그러므로, 본 논문에서는 능동적 적외선 조명을 기반으로 한 칼만 필터링을 이용한 객체 추적 방법과 전형적인 외관을 기반으로 객체 인식 방법을 결합함으로써, 외부 조명의 간섭으로 밝은 동공 효과가 나타나지 않는 경우에도 견실하게 눈을 검출하고 추적 할 수 있는 방법을 제안한다. 눈 검출과 추적을 위해 SVM과 평균 이동 추적 방법을 사용하였고, 적외선 조명과 카메라를 포함한 영상 획득 장치를 구성하여 기존의 방법과 비교 실험한 결과 제안된 방법은 일부 피검자의 경우 100% 완벽하게 눈 추적을 할 수 있음을 보여 주었다.

Carotid Intima-Media Thickness (CIMT) testing is a test that precisely assesses cerebrovascular and coronary heart diseases. According to many previous studies, CIMT predicts atherosclerosis and is highly correlated to cardiovascular disease risk factors. It has also been reported that CIMT is an independent predictor of risk factors for myocardial infarction and stroke. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate CIMT and other independent factors through a correlation study with the clinical laboratory test results of a blood test. As a result, this study could not prove the correlation between CIMT and risk factors of cardiovascular disease (TC, TG, LDL cholesterol, and HDL cholesterol) due to an insufficient number of subjects. Nevertheless, a positive correlation was demonstrated between CIMT and ALT (p<0.05), GGT (p<0.05), Uric acid (p<0.05), and CEA (p<0.05) at a statistically significant level, suggesting a continuation of the study.

Several isolates were collected from apple, pepper, strawberry, cucumber and tomato having typical gray mold symptoms. All the isolates were identified as Botrytis cinerea by using morphological characteristics and PCR-RFLP method. It was difficult to analyze the phylogenetic relationship of these isolates by using ITS region, HSP60 and G3PDH because these genes were highly homologous in their nucleotide in inter-species of B. cinerea and intra-species of genus Botrytis. However, phylogenetic analysis using combined sequences (RPB2, HSP60 and G3PDH genes) clearly showed that all isolate of B. cinerea were different from Botrytis spp. Furthermore, it was also confirmed that strawberry isolate was distantly related to apple, pepper, cucumber and tomato isolates that were closely related to each other in nucleotide level.

Morphological characteristics of nine Epimedium spp was analyzed on the basis of six morphological characters. To analyse the genetic relationship among Epimedium spp., polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed with total genomic DNA of 17 Epimedium spp. by using random 8 primers. The genetic diversity and genetic distance among nine Korean collections, seven Japanese and one China collection were used to generate a dendrogram showing phylogenie relationship. Seventeen Epimedium spp were classified into two groups of group I and II, since they were divided into two major groups at the similarity coefficients value of 0.65. In addition, one of the two group, group I was divided into three sub-groups including Epimedium koreanum, Chul-won collections 1, 2, and 3, Yanggu, Hongchon, Hwachun, Chunchon, China, Maehwa (Japanese), E. diphyllum and E. violaceum (Japanese), while group II included Chulwon collection 4 and 5 and Japanese collection. The samples collected at Chulwon district showed close similarity with Japanese collection. Similarity indexes between collection and genetic relationship were related at the levels ranging from 0.6 to 0.9.

DNA sequences of the intergenic spacer 1 and intergenic spacer 2 of the nineteen plants belonging Vitis genus were collected from the Genbank. DNA sequences of the same regions of Vitis thunbergii var. sinuata and Ampelopsis brevipedunculata var. heterophylla, both common plants in Korea, were not available in Genbank. Those two plants were collected, their genomic DNA encoding 18S rRNA, intergenic spacer 1, 5.8S rRNA, intergenic spacer 2 and part of 28S rRNA amplified and DNA sequence determined. DNA sequences of twenty-one plants including two Korean plants were aligned by the Multiple sequence comparison by log-expectation(MUSCLE) algorithm and the alignment was used to calculate neighbor-joining tree and pairwise distance. The results indicate DNA sequences of the two Korean plants are highly homologous with each other, but they are quite distantly related to the other Vitis plants. Distant relationship of the two Korean plants with the other Vitis plants might be due to independent evolution of those two plants in geographically isolated environment. Those two Korean plants are classified in different genera based on the morphology, one in Vitis genus and the other in Ampelopsis genus, providing another example of discrepancy between morphological and genetic classification.

In 2016, less than 30% of virus-like symptoms such as chlorosis, necrosis and ringspots were observed in Hoya carnosa from commercial greenhouse in Eumseong, Korea. A total of 6 samples from Hoya carnosa were collected both symptomatic and asymptomatic plants and tested for virus infection by RT-PCR of 3 viruses known to infect Hoya spp. including Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV), Impatiens necrotic spot virus (INSV) and Tomato chlorotic spot virus (TCSV). Three symptomatic samples were positives for INSV. Also, it was not the virus detected in three asymptomatic samples. To further confirm the presence of INSV, complete nucleocapsid (N) gene of the virus were amplified and sequenced from two samples. BLAST analysis of the consensus sequence showed that two isolates (INSV-Hy1 and -Hy2) shared nucleotide sequence identities of 99% with each other and 97-99% with other INSV isolates available in the GenbBank. Phylogenetic analysis showed that these isolates closely related to the INSV isolates from ornamental from China. This is the first report of INSV on Hoya carnosa from Korea.
