Objective: To investigate a clinical effect of Taichichuan training focussing on improvement of quality of life in cancer patients. Methods: The subject of study consisted of 10 cancer patients at the East-West Cancer Center of Dunsan Oriental hospital. The survey method of this study is Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G) korean version. Patients performed Taichichuan twice a week and filled out FACT-G questionnaire before and after training. Results: Although total FACT-G score decreased 0.7 point after training, emotional well-being score increased 1.0 point after training. Male improved FACT-G score better than female. Over 50 age improved FACT-G score better than under 50 age. Over stage Ⅲ improved FACT-G score better than Under Stage II. Patients who were treated integrative treatment improved FACT-G score better than patients who were only treated conventional treatment. But all results were not significant statistically. Conclusions: Emotional well-being tends to improve after training, but this study cannot proved Taichichuan training improve quality of life in cancer patients. Well designed advanced study will be needed to prove its benefits.

Objectives: The main goals of cancer treatment are improvement of quality of life and survival prolongation. There is a limitation to prolonging the survival time in hepatobiliary and pancreatic cancer. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the quality of life of hepatobiliary and pancreatic cancer patients who visited for traditional Korean cancer treatment. Methods: We evaluated the quality of life of 23 hepatobiliary and pancreatic cancer patients who visited for oriental medicine treatment at East-West Neo Medical Center from June to October of 2007. FACT-G (Functional Assessment Cancer Therapy-General), used in this study, is a scale for evaluation of QOL confirmed validity and reliability, popularly used in many countries to evaluate QOL of cancer patients. Results: The average age of enrolled patients was 57. There were 10 hepatocellular carcinoma patients, 7 pancreatic cancer patients, 6 biliary tract cancer patients. Twenty one patients were in stage IV and 20 patients had distant metastases. By Sasang constitution, Taeumin were 7, Soyangin were 8, and Soeumuin were 8. The baselines of FACT-G score in the first visit were from 34.33 to 85, and the mean score was 67.3. The mean score of FACT-G in hepatocellular carcinoma patients was 67.5, that of pancreatic cancer patients was 62.5, and that of biliary tract cancer patients was 71. Conclusions: This study is valuable as an initial QOL study of hepatobiliary and pancreatic cancer patients who visited an oriental medical clinic. We believe that consistent studies will be necessary to demonstrate oriental treatment-related quality of life with hepatobiliary and pancreatic cancer.

Background: Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) is a malignant disease which occurs in women of reproductive age. Treatment of GTN has an excellent outcome and further pregnancies can be expected. However, data concerning quality of life in these cancer survivor patients are limited. This study aimed to assess quality of life in women who were diagnosed with GTN and remission after treatment, and to determine factors that may affect quality of life status. Materials and Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted from July 2013 to May 2014 in the Gestational Trophoblastic Disease Clinic, King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand. Patients who were diagnosed GTN and complete remission were recruited. Data collection was accomplished by interview with two sets of questionnaires, one general covering demographic data and the other focusing on quality of life, the fourth version of Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT-G). Descriptive statistics were used to determine general data and quality of life scores. Students t-test and one way ANOVA were used to compare between categorical and continuous data. Results: Forty four patients were enrolled in this study. The overall mean quality of life score (FACT-G) was 98.2. The overall FACT-G score was not significantly correlated with age, education level, stage of disease, treatment modalities, and time interval from remission to enrollment. However, patients who needed further fertility showed significant lower FACT-G scores in the emotional well-being domain (p=0.02). Conclusions: Overall quality of life scores in post-treatment gestational trophoblastic neoplasia patients are in the mild impairment range. Patients who desire fertility suffer lower quality of life in the emotional well-being domain.

FACT(facilitates chromatin transcription)은 크로마틴을 주형으로 하는 전사에 필요한 크로마틴 특이적 전사 진행 인자이다. FACT는 Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Spt16/Cdc68의인간 유사체와 high mobility froup-1-like protein structure-specific recognition protein-1(SSRP-1)의 이종단백질 복합체이다 본 논문에서는 FACT의 단위체인 hSpt16의 발현이 휴지기의 T98G 세포에서 급격히 감소됨을 면역형광 분석법과 Western blot 분석법을 이용하여 관찰하였다. 이와 반대로 증식기의 T98C 세포에서는 hSpt16이 높은 수준으로 발현되고 있는 것이 관찰되었다. FACT의 또 다른 단위체 SSRP-1의 발현은 휴지기나 증식기의 세포에서 변화가 없음이 관찰되었다. 이상의 결과로부터 hSpt16이 발현이 세포의증식과 연관이 되어 있음을 알 수 있었고 세포 증식 표지 인자로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

In this paper, for discrete groups G and K, we show that the cohomology of the complex of projective tensor product B*(G)⨶B*(K) is isomorphic to the bounded cohomology Ĥ*(G × K) of G × K, which is the cohomology of B*(G × K) as topological vector spaces, where B*(G) is a complex of bounded cochains of G with real coefficients ℝ. In fact, we construct an isomorphism between these two cohomology groups that carries the canonical seminorm in Ĥ*(G × K) to the seminorm in the cohomology of B*(G)⨶B*(K).

Let G be a compact connected semisimple Lie group, g the Lie algebra of G, g the canonical metric (the biinvariant Riemannian metric which is induced from the Killing form of g), and $\nabla$ be the Levi-Civita connection for the metric g. Then, we get the fact that the Levi-Civita connection $\nabla$ in the tangent bundle TG over (G, g) is a Yang-Mills connection.

G $e_{1-x}$ S $n_{x}$G $e_{1-y}$S $n_{y}$ is a very promising material for the high-speed device due to the fact that electron and hole mobilities for the strained G $e_{1-x}$ S $n_{x}$G $e_{1-y}$S $n_{y}$ are greatly enhanced. Because G $e_{1-x}$ S $n_{x}$G $e_{1-y}$S $n_{y}$ has a direct band gap for the proper combination of x and y, it can be applied to the optoelectronic device. Therefore, the study of the electrical property for G $e_{1-x}$ S $n_{x}$G $e_{1-y}$S $n_{y}$(001) with a direct energy gap is needed. G $e_{1-x}$ S $n_{x}$ layer can not be grown thickly due to the large difference of lattice constants. This fact prefers the structure of the device where electrons and holes move in the plane direction. The transverse mobilities of electron and hole for G $e_{0.8}$S $n_{0.2}$Ge(001) are 2~3 times larger than those for Ge/Ge/ sub0.8/S $n_{0.2}$(001). Therefore, G $e_{0.8}$S $n_{0.2}$Ge(001) is expected to be better than Ge/G $e_{0.8}$S $n_{0.2}$(001) for the development of the high-speed device.h-speed device.device.h-speed device. device.

Let (H, g) denote the upper half plane in $R^2$ with the Riemannian metric g := ($(dx)^2$ + $(dy)^2$)$/y^2$. First of all we get a necessary and sufficient condition for a diffeomorphism $\phi$ of (H, g) to be a harmonic map. And, we obtain the fact that if a diffeomorphism $\phi$ of (H, g) is a harmonic function, then the following facts are equivalent: (1) $\phi$ is a harmonic map; (2) $\phi$ is an affine transformation; (3) $\phi$ is an isometry (motion).

Egasyn is accessory protein of ${\beta}$-glucuronidase(${\beta}$-G) in the liver microsomes. Liver microsomal ${\beta}$-G is stabilized within the luminal site of the microsomal vesicles by complexation with egasyn which is one of carboxylesterase isozymes. We investigated the effects of organophosphorus compounds(OPs) such as insecticides on the dissociation of egasyn-${\beta}$-glucuronidase(EG) complex. The EG complex was easily dissociated by administration of OPs, i.e., Fenitrothion, EPN, Phenthionate, and bis-p-nitrophenyl phosphate(BNPP), and resulting ${\beta}$-G dissociated was released into blood, leading to the rapid and transient increase of plasma ${\beta}$-G level with a concomitant decrease of liver microsomal ${\beta}$-G level. In a case of phenthionate treatment, less increase in plasma ${\beta}$-G level was observed, as compared with those of other OPs. This may be explained by a fact that phenthionate was easily hydrolyzed by carboxylesterase. Similarly, carbamate insecticides such as Carbaryl caused rapid increase of plasma ${\beta}$-G level. In contrast, no significant increase of plasma ${\beta}$-G level was observed when pyrethroid insecticides were administered to rats. This is due to a fact that pyrethroids such as Phenthrin and Allethrin were easily hydrolyzed by A-esterase as well as carboxylesterase. On the other hand, addition of OPs to the incubation mixture containing liver microsomes caused the release of ${\beta}$-G from microsomes to the medium. From these in vivo and in vitro data, it is concluded that increase of the plasma ${\beta}$-G level after OPs administration is much more sensitive biomarker than cholinesterase inhibition to acute intoxication of OPs and carbamates.
