Tolerant corn cultivars to bentazon were selected and tolerance mechanism of corn cultivars to bentazon was studied by determining bentazon 6-hydroxylase(B6H) activity which was known to detoxify bentazon to 6-hydroxy bentazon at induced enzyme conditions with treatments of 1,8-naphthalic anhydride, ethanol and phenobarbital. Tolerant cultivars to bentazon were selected by growth response of corn by foliar application of bentazon to corn cultivars. Kwanganok, GA 209, IK 2, DB 544, and Suwon 19 were tolerant to bentazon, but KSS 3, KSS 4, KS 5, and Danok 2 were susceptible. Pretreating corn seeds with 1,8-naphthalic anhydride increased B6H activity at all cultivars, but the tendencies were more remarkable at Suwon 19 and GA 209, tolerant cultivars, than at Danok 2 and KS 5, susceptible cultivars. Treating corn shoots with ethanol increased B6H activity at Suwon 19 and GA 209. B6H activity was enhanced by treatments of ethanol at 1.0 or 2.5%, but decreased at ethanol 2.5 or 5.0% at Danok 2 and KS 5. Treating corn shoots with phenobarbital increased B6H activity at Suwon 19, GA 209, Danok 2, and KS 5 by treatments of phenobarbital at 2.0mM, but decreased at 4.0 or 8.0mM at all cultivars. Therefore, the tolerant mechanism of corn cultivars to bentazon may be explained partially by the activity of bentazon 6-hydroxylase which detoxifies bentazon to 6-hydroxy bentazon.

This study aimed to isolate wild yeasts from seawaters and soils samples of the Haeundae and Mongdol beaches on the southern coast of Korea, and to characterize these unrecorded wild yeast strains. In total, 41 strains, representing 37 different species of wild yeast were isolated from 70 samples collected from the beaches. Among these, 14 strains were isolated from the alkalophilic medium of yeast extract-peptone-dextrose (YPD) medium (pH 9.0), and 27 strains were isolated concurrently on general YPD medium (pH 6.5). Among the 41 isolated wild yeast strains, Candida insectorum HUD 16-3(JSL-KSS-002) and Metschnikowia citriensis HUD 12-5(JSL-KSS-001) had not previously been recorded. We investigated the microbiological characteristics of these two unrecorded yeast strains and three other strains-, Cystobasidium lysinophilum JSC 52-2(JSL-GGU-019), Candida takata NMD 11-1(JSL-GGU-017) and Candida panamensis ASG 58M-2(JSL-GGU-018) from Jangseoncheon in Jellabuk-do and Jangtaesan in Deajeon city. All five previously unrecorded yeasts were oval and did not form spores. All strains grew well in YPD and yeast extract-malt extract media in a vitamin-free medium. Two strains, including C. insectorum HUD 16-3(JSL-KSS-002) grew well in a 15% NaCl-containing YPD medium. Three strains, including Cys. lysinophilum JSC52-2(JSL-GGU-019) assimilated lactose, and all strains assimilated starch.

For the safety of sea, it is important to monitor sea fog, one of the dangerous meteorological phenomena which cause marine accidents. To detect and monitor sea fog, Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data which is capable to provide spatial distribution of sea fog has been used. The previous automatic sea fog detection algorithms were focused on detecting sea fog using Terra/MODIS only. The improved algorithm is based on the sea fog detection algorithm by Wu and Li (2014) and it is applicable to both Terra and Aqua MODIS data. We have focused on detecting spring season sea fog events in the Yellow Sea. The algorithm includes application of cloud mask product, the Normalized Difference Snow Index (NDSI), the STandard Deviation test using infrared channel ($STD_{IR}$) with various window size, Temperature Difference Index(TDI) in the algorithm (BTCT - SST) and Normalized Water Vapor Index (NWVI). Through the calculation of the Hanssen-Kuiper Skill Score (KSS) using sea fog manual detection result, we derived more suitable threshold for each index. The adjusted threshold is expected to bring higher accuracy of sea fog detection for spring season daytime sea fog detection using MODIS in the Yellow Sea.

Background: The purpose of this study was to assess the results of arthroscopic bridging repair using a human dermis allograft in the treatment of massive irreparable rotator cuff tears. Methods: From November 2009 to April 2011, 12 patients underwent arthroscopic bridging repair using a human dermis allograft in the treatment of massive irreparable rotator cuff tears. Patients were followed for an average of 33.9 months. Clinical outcome was evaluated preoperatively and postoperatively using the mean University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) score and the Korean Shoulder Scoring System (KSS). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed postoperatively at an average of 6.5 months. Results: At a mean follow-up of 33.9 months (range, 25 to 42 months), 11 out of 12 patients were satisfied with their procedure. Patients showed significant improvement in their mean modified UCLA score from 15.9 preoperatively to 29.4 postoperatively (p=0.001). The mean KSS score improved from 45.6 preoperatively to 80.5 postoperatively (p=0.002). In MRI studies, 9 out of 12 patients had full incorporation of the graft into the native rotator cuff remnant. To date, there has been no intraoperative or postoperative complication from the graft procedure, such as infection or allograft rejection, in any patient. Conclusions: Arthroscopic bridging repair using a human dermis allograft can be considered as an option in treatment of select cases of massive irreparable rotator cuff tears, resulting in high patient satisfaction.

Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of ultrasonography-guided multiple needling for calcific tendinitis of the shoulder. Materials and Methods: We included 18 symptomatic calcific tendinitis patients who underwent ultrasonography-guided multiple needling and followed for average 17 weeks. The procedures were multiple needling or aspiration of the calcific deposit and injection of local anesthetics and steroid into the subacromial bursa under the ultrasound control. Clinical improvements were evaluated using pain VAS, UCLA score and KSS score. The size and status of calcific deposits were compared. Results: A significant improvement was seen in pain VAS, UCLA score and KSS score (p<0.05). At the final follow up, the calcific deposits had resolved completely of nearly completely in 39%, and the size was decreased in 61%. Conclusion: Ultrasound-guided multiple needling is considered as a useful method which could provide prompt pain relief and reduce calcific deposit for calcific tendinitis of the shoulder.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the radiologic and clinical results of the arthroscopic coracoclavicular fixation of the acute acromioclavicular dislocation using $TightRope^{(R)}$ (Arthrex, Inc, Naples, FL). Materials and Methods: We performed the arthroscopic coracoclavicular fixation using $TightRope^{(R)}$ in twenty patients with the Rockwood type III or V acute acromioclavicular dislocation between February, 2009, and February, 2010. Mean follow-up was 13.4(range 8~22) months. Radiologic results were evaluated by comparing the distances between the clavicle and the coracoid process with those in the contralateral sides using the acromioclavicular stress radiographs. Clinical results were made according to the KSS(Korean Shoulder Scoring System), and the cosmetic satisfaction of the patient was assessed. Results: Radiologically, 18 cases showed excellent, 1 case showed good and 1 case showed fair results. Clinically, KSS was mean 98.5 (range 92~100) points and all cases revealed satisfactory cosmetic results. Because one case complained of skin tenderness and discomfort of palpation, we closed the knot with surrounding muscle & fascia. Then local wound infection occurred, so we treated it by incision and drainage under local anesthesia and antibiotic therapy for 2 weeks. Conclusion: Arthroscopic coracoclavicular fixation using $TightRope^{(R)}$ for treating the Rockwood type III or V acute acromioclavicular dislocation showed satisfactory radiologic and clinical results. It seems to be a good treatment method that has little postoperative complication, provides an early rehabilitation and an excellent cosmetic result, and does not require secondary operation for removal of metal implant.

In ICISC 2007, Comuta and others showed that among the methods for constructing pairing-friendly curves, those using cyclotomic polynomials, that is, the Brezing-Weng method and the Freeman-Scott-Teske method, are affected by Cheon's algorithm. This paper proposes a method for searching parameters of pairing-friendly elliptic curves that induces minimal security loss by Cheon's algorithm. We also provide a sample set of parameters of BN-curves, FST-curves, and KSS-curves for pairing-based cryptography.

Background: The size of the baseplate used in reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) tends to be larger than the average size of the glenoid in the Korean population. The mismatch between the sizes of the baseplate and the patient's glenoid may result in improper fixation of the glenoid baseplate. This in turn may lead to the premature loosening of the glenoid component. Thus, we evaluated the short-term results of using a 25-mm baseplate in RTSA. Methods: Seventeen patients with cuff tear arthropathy underwent RTSA with a 25-mm baseplate. The mean age of the patients was 70.1 years, and the mean follow-up period was 14.0 months. We evaluated clinical outcomes preoperatively and postoperatively: the range of shoulder motion, the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, and the Korean Shoulder Society (KSS) score. Results: We found that the mean ASES score and KSS improved from 35.0 to 74.4 (p<0.001) and from 46.9 to 71.8 (p<0.001) with RTSA. The mean forward elevation and abduction, external rotation also improved from $78.6^{\circ}$ to $134.3^{\circ}$ (p<0.05) and from $66.6^{\circ}$ to $125.0^{\circ}$ (p<0.05), from $20.2^{\circ}$ to $28.4^{\circ}$ (p=0.43). Postoperative complications were seen in 12% of patients, but neither the loosening of the glenoid baseplate nor inferior scapular notching were observed. Conclusions: In sum, the results of using a 25-mm baseplate in RTSA were similar to those of previous reports. Even though the outcomes are those of a short-term follow-up, neither the loosening of the glenoid baseplate nor the scapular notching were observed.
