In this paper, we suggest DCU(Digital Control Unit) for performance improvement and stability security of base station power amplifier. The designed DCU controls electric power that is supplied to power amplifier. When the regular input is 10dBm, the regular output is measured 47.8dBm and the results are compared between the case of the applying and the non-applying the DCU. We got the result that PA system is very stable as DCU are very well operating in the boundary degradation of IMD by the over-power level input.

Dyslipidemia is an important CHD risk factor in diabetic patients. We conducted this study to assess the pattern of dyslipidemia in type 2 diabetes patients, to examine the demographic and clinical factors associated with dyslipidemia and to evaluate attaining within the lipid target goals and treatment strategies. A retrospective analysis was conducted among patents diagnosed type 2 diabetes at outpatient clinic in endocrinology between January 2003 and December 2004. Clinical history and physical examination were reviewed and laboratory data including blood glucose, HbAlc, lipid levels were recorded sequentially at least 1 year. In 882 patients with type 2 diabetes, 437 patients (49.6%) have dyslipidemia and 73% of them (319 patients) received lipid-lowering agents. 244 patients (94 males, 150 females, mean age 60 years old) were susceptible to analyses. The most frequent pattern of dyslipidemia is high LDL level and high TG levels (28%). Metabolic syndrome and macrovascular complication were significant negative independent association with lipid levels within the target goals (p<0.05). Only 15.2% (19 males, 18 females) attained within the lipid tar- get goals. Patients with diabetic dyslipidemia need maximization of lipid-lowering agents, increasing the fibric acid derivatives prescription and the effort to correction of low HDL and/or high TG.

Triglyceride compositions of cottonseed, soybean, sesame, perilla corn and rapeseed oils have been determined by a high performance liquid chromatographic analysis. An optimum condition was obtained by using a ALC/GPC 244 type, from Waters Association, Japan with $\mu$ Bondapak $C_{18}(1/4^{'}\times1^{'})$ column. A similar distribution pattern of triglycerides was found in cottonseed, soybean, sesame, rapeseed and corn oils. It was noted that $C_{40}$, $C_{42}$ and $C_{44}$ were the major components in these seed oils, except perilla oil. The results showed that contents $O_{40}-C_{48}$ triglyceride types in cottonseed, sesame and corn oil were within $2.23{\sim}41.24%$ and $C_{38}-C_{48}$ triglyceride types in soybean oil were within $3.01{\sim}10.02%$ and $C_{34}-C_{46}$ triglyceride types in rapeseed oil were within $2.38{\sim}28.68%$.

Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is used to non-invasively estimate the severity of arteriosclerosis by measuring the patient's arterial stiffness comparing with each normal reference range according to their ages. Increased arterial stiffness is closely related to both atherosclerosis and arteriosclerosis, which have been known for causes of cardiovascular disease and stroke, also negatively affects the prognosis and the re-occurrence in patients with stroke. The study is focused on how brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) is related to cardiovascular disease risk factors in patients with acute stroke. There were 114 subjects, 69 males and 45 females, all in their 60's and had PWV test for acute stroke. The results are as follows: the group with increased arterial stiffness showed significant increase in HbAlc, total cholesterol, RSBP (resting systolic blood pressure), CSBP (central systolic blood pressure) and CDBP (central diastolic blood pressure). Cross tabulation test showed that there was a significant relationship only between the group with increased arterial stiffness and diabetes mellitus (DM). Therefore, it might be useful for preventing re-occurrence and making a favorable prognosis to promptly adjust DM and hypertension-related risk factors in patients with acute stroke.

Fermented ginseng (FG) is an ethanol extract of ginseng radix processed with $\beta$-galactosidase. It was hypothesized that FG may exert anti-hyperlipidemic and anti-diabetic activities through modulating AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in HepG2 human hepatoma cells. In this study, we showed that AMPK phosphorylation was stimulated by FG. These effects were abolished by pretreatment with an AMPK inhibitor, compound C. In addition, FG regulated the expression of genes associated with lipogenesis and lipolysis, thus causing suppression of hepatic triglyceride accumulation. In vivo study using db/db mice, FG reduced fasting plasma glucose, HbAlc, and insulin resistance index, when compared to diabetic control. FG also increased the phospho-AMPK and glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) expressions in liver and skeletal muscle, respectively. In liver, expressions of lipogenic gene were decreased whereas expressions of lipolytic genes were induced, when compared to diabetic control. Taken together, we may suggest that FG ameliorates hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia through activation of AMPK and could be developed as a health functional food or therapeutic agent for type 2 diabetic patients.

This paper summarizes the design concepts and implementation of a Ku-band channel amplifier's engineering model for the communication and broadcasting satellite applications. The selected architecture uses the analog gain control for the FGM(Fixed Gain Mode) and the output level limiting using automatic loop control for the ALC (automatic level control) mode. The Ku-band channel amplifier incorporates several state-of-the-art components including voltage-controlled PIN diode attenuators, and various temperature-compensation circuits. The measured characteristics of the Ku-band channel amplifier are in good agreement with the expected performance. The results show a fixed gain control of 28 dB, and an automatic level control of 16 dB over operating temperature range. The designed engineering model could be used as a channel amplifier for Ku-band communication and broadcasting satellite payload system.

Monascus species have been used to produce fermented rice called Monascus-fermented rice (MFR). To improve a Monascus strain via activation of secondary metabolite (SM) gene clusters for use in the production of MFR, we overexpressed an ortholog of the laeA gene, which encodes a global positive regulator of secondary metabolism under the control of the strong heterologous Aspergillus nidulans alcA promoter in Monascus pilosus. The OE::laeA transformant produced more SMs, including those not detected under uninduced conditions. MFR produced using the M. pilosus OE::laeA strain contained 4 times more monacolin K, a cholesterol-lowering agent, than MFR produced using the wild-type strain. In addition, pigment production was remarkably increased, and the antioxidant activity was increased as well. The results from this study suggest that Monascus species, which are important industrial fermentative fungi in Asia, can be improved for the production of functional foods by overexpressing the laeA gene.

Along with a development of medical technology, a variety of tests, such as laboratory tests, x-ray and endoscopies are being used in health screening tests. As the tests determine the quality of health screening, test items and methods should be carefully selected. This study was to get hold of the test items of major health screening programs in Korea. Most of the health screening programmes focused upon detection of risk factors and diagnosis of life-style related diseases(diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, hypercholesterolemia, overweight, drinking, smoking, cerebrovascular diseases, osteoporosis) ,cancers(stomach, cervix, lung, breast, liver, colon, prostate, ovary, pancreas, thyroid, esophagus), infectious diseases (hepatitis, tuberculosis, sexually-transmitted diseases, parasites),chronic obstructive respiratory diseases, chronic renal diseases(bacteriuria, hematuria, proteinuria), anemia, glaucoma, hearing loss, Alzheimer disease, stress, early Psychiatric diseases. The health screening tests were basic physical examination, basic laboratory tests(CBC, urinalysis, liver function tests, lipid tests, glucose, HbAlc, uric acid, electrolytes, serological tests(HBsAg, HBs-Ab, HCV-Ab, HIV-Ab, VDRL) EKG, x-ray(chest PA, CT), endoscopy (gastroscopy, colonoscopy) , sonography(abdormen, thyroid, pelvis, breast) , cytology(cervix) ,bone density, tumor markers(NMP22, alpha-FP, CEA, CA-19-9, CA12S, PSA) and eye tests. Advanced technologies, like CT, PET, MIRI, MIRI/Angio, molecular testings) were widely usedin hospital health screening programmes. In summary, a variety of were utilized by stages or programmes, however a few subjects. tests were utilized in health screening in Korea. Those tests according to sex and age in most of health screening program used tests to excess disregarding health screening subject.
