  • Background: Breast cancer diagnosed in young women may be more aggressive, with higher rates of local and distant recurrence compared to the disease in older women. Epidemiologic evidence suggests that Korean women have a lower incidence of breast cancer than women in the United States, but that they present at a younger age than their American counterparts. We sought to compare risk factors and management of young women with breast cancer in Boston, Massachusetts (US) with those in Seoul, South Korea (KR). Materials and Methods: A retrospective review was performed of consecutive patients less than 35 years old with a diagnosis of breast cancer at academic cancer centers in the US and KR from 2000-2005. Patient data were obtained by chart review. Demographic, tumor and treatment characteristics were compared utilizing Pearson's chisquare or Wilcoxon rank-sum tests where appropriate. All differences were assessed as significant at the 0.05 level. Results: 205 patients from the US and 309 from KR were analyzed. Patients in US were more likely to have hormone receptor positive breast cancer, while patients in KR had a higher rate of triple negative lesions. Patients in US had a higher mean body mass index and more often reported use of birth control pills, while those in the KR were less likely to have a sentinel node procedure performed or to receive post mastectomy radiation. Conclusions: Patients under 35 diagnosed with breast cancer in the US and KR differ with respect to demographics, tumor characteristics and management. Although rates of breast conservation and mastectomy were similar, US patients were more likely to receive post mastectomy radiation. The lower use of sentinel node biopsy is explained by the later adoption of the technique in KR. Further evaluation is necessary to evaluate recurrence rates and survival in the setting of differing disease subtypes in these patients.

  • 내용어 기반 빈도 분석은 의도적 기만이나 반어적 표현에 분명한 한계가 있지만, 많이 사용되는 한국어 분석 프로그램인 KLIWC는 기능어 분석을, KrKwic는 동시출현빈도를 시각화하는 방법으로 발전했다. 하지만 개발된 지 십수 년이 지나 여러 문제점으로 개선이 필요한 상황이다. 그래서 KLIWC와 KrKwic를 분석하여 새 심리학적 언어분석 프로그램을 개발하고자 하였다. 첫째로 두 프로그램의 특징을 분석하였다. 특히, 기능어 분석기능 제고를 위해서 KLIWC와 한국어 형태소 분석기의 형태소 분류를 비교하였고, 심리적 분석의 강화를 위해 심리사전의 구조와 체계를 분석하였다. 분석 결과 한나눔 품사 분석기가 가장 세분화되었지만, 인칭대명사에서는 KLIWC가, 어미와 어말어미에서는 KKMA의 품사 분류가 더 세분화되어 있어, 기능어 분석 강화를 위해 여러 품사 분석기의 통합적 사용을 제안하였다. 둘째로 이 프로그램들로 텍스트를 분석한 연구들의 연구동향을 분석하였다. 분석 결과 두 프로그램이 복합학 분야 등 다양한 학술분야에서 사용되고 있었다. 특히 논문과 보고서의 분석에는 KrKwic가 많이 사용되었고, 글쓴이의 생각, 정서, 성격 비교 연구에는 KLIWC가 많이 사용되었다. 이 결과를 바탕으로 새로운 심리학적 언어분석 프로그램의 필요성과 개발 방향에 대해 제언하였다.

  • In a previous study we generated an anti-Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) preS1 humanized antibody (HzKR127) that showed in vivo HBV-neutralizing activity in chimpanzees. However, the antigen-binding affinity of the humanized antibody may not be sufficient for clinical use and thus affinity maturation is required for better therapeutic efficacy. In this study, phage display technique was employed to increase the affinity of HzKR127. All six amino acid residues (Glu95-Tyr96-Asp97-Glu98-Ala99-Tyr100) in the heavy (H) chain complementary-determining region 3 (HCDR3) of HzKR127 were randomized and phage-displayed single chain Fv (scFv) library was constructed. After three rounds of panning, 12 different clones exhibiting higher antigen-binding activity than the wild type ScFv were selected and their antigen-binding specificity for the preS1 confirmed. Subsequently, five ScFv clones were converted to whole IgG and subjected to affinity determination. The results showed that two clones (B3 and A19) exhibited an approximately 6 fold higher affinities than that of HzKR127. The affinity-matured humanized antibodies may be useful in anti-HBV immunotherapy.

  • Equilibrium molecular dynamics (EMD) simulations are used to evaluate the transport coefficients of argonkrypton mixtures at two liquid states (state A: 94.4 K and 1 atm; state B: 135 K and 39.5 atm) via modified Green-Kubo formulas. The composition dependency of the volume at state A obeys close to the linear model for ideal liquid mixture, while that at state B differs from the linear model probably due to the high pressure. The radial distribution functions for the Ar-Kr mixture (x = 2/3) show a mixing effect: the first peak of g11 is higher than that of g(r) for pure Ar and the first peak of g22 is lower than that of g(r) for pure Kr. An exponential model of engineering correlation for diffusion coefficient (D) and shear viscosity (η) is superior to the simple linear model for ideal liquid mixtures. All three components of thermal conductivity (λpm, λtm, and λti) at state A and hence the total thermal conductivity decrease with the increase of x. At state B, the change in λtm is dominant over those in λpm and λti, and hence the total thermal conductivity decrease with the increase of x.

  • The molecular gas surrounding an H II region is thought to be a place where star formation can be induced. Such triggered star formation can arise form the overpressurization of existing density enhancements or thought the collapse of a swept up layers of material. In this talk, We will discuss the results of a study of star-formation activity associated with the outer Galaxy ring-shaped H II regions KR 7, KR 81, KR 120 and KR 140 using archival Spitzer and WISE data along with the JHK observations. We used CO data cubes from the FCRAO and TRAO in order to define extent of the molecular cloud associated each HII region. Using the infrared data sets, We identified and classified YSO populations within each molecular cloud using measures such as the class I/II ratio and YSO spatial density. Along with this, one of the main question in the study of star formation is how protostar accrete material from their parent molecular clouds and observations of infall motions are needed to provide direct evidence for accretion. Combining our observation of the YSO population distribution with time scales associated with YSO evolution and HII expansion, we investigated the possible significance of triggered star formation in the molecular cloud surrounding each region.

  • In this paper, we investigated the breakdown characteristics of Ar, Kr and $N_2$ gas in pure states with pressure range of 58.8-137.3[kPa] under uniform and non-uniform fields, and the measured values are compared with those in Ar/$N_2$ gas mixtures. From these results, the breakdown voltages of $N_2$ gas in uniform field were increased about 4.8 and 4.4 times than those of Ar and Kr gas, respectively. Breakdown voltages of Ar/$N_2$ gas mixtures were decreased with decreasing the mixture ratio of $N_2$ gas. Breakdown voltages of Ar(70%)/$N_2$(30%) gas mixtures in the pressure of 101.3[kPa] (gap length : 3[mm]) were increased 1.9 times than those of pure Ar gas.

  • 우리는 AC-PDP에서 휘도와 효율을 향상시키기 위하여 Ne-Xe(4%)와 He(7)-Ne(3)-Xe(3%)에 소량의 Ar 또는 Kr를 첨가하여 최적의 페닝 방전가스 혼합비를 연구하였다. 우리는 이것을 증명하기 위해 효율과 Q-V 방법을 이용하여 벽전하를 계산하였으며, 2차원 시뮬레이션에서의 결과값과 비교하였다. 200 Torr 압력에서 He-Ne-Xe 또는 Ne-Xe에 소량의 Ar(0.01-0.1%) 또는 Kr(0.01-0.1%)을 첨가시켰을 때, 우리는 20% 이상의 휘도의 증가와 25% 이상의 효율 증가를 발견하였고, 또한 벽전하도 25% 이상의 증가를 보였다. 400 Torr 압력에서 He-Ne-Xe-Kr(0.005%)에 소량의 Ar(0.005-0.1%)를 첨가시켰을 때는 8% 이상의 휘도의 증가와 18% 이상의 효율 증가, 12% 이상의 벽전하 증가를 확인하였다. 결론적으로 이 결과는 He, Ne, Ar, Kr 사이에 추가적인 페닝효과가 휘도와 효율을 향상시켰다는 것을 보여준다.
