유속을 측정하기 위한 다양한 기법들 가운데 양방향 저속 차압 프로브(bi-directional low velocity pressure probe)는 고온의 연소생성물이 존재하는 조건에서 화재유동장의 속도 측정에 가장 적합한 방법으로 인식되어 왔다. 그러나 양방향 유속계의 프로브 상수(probe constant)는 레이놀즈 수와 유동과 프로브의 받음각(attack angle)에 크게 영향을 받게 된다. 본 연구에서는 화재유동장 측정 기법들을 비교 평가하고 양방향 유속계의 받음각에 따른 프로브 상수의 변화를 실험적으로 평가하여 양방향 유속계의 측정 오차를 정량함으로서 화재 유동장 측정의 신뢰성 향상을 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다.

Interleukin (IL)-5 appears to be one of the main proinflammatory mediators among a growing number of cytokines and chemokines that induce eosinophilic inflammation. Sophoricoside and their analogs isolated from Sophora japonica show relatively potent inhibitory activity of interleukin (IL)-5 as a small molecule. Initial attempt to identify the structural requirement of this isoflavonone led to find new chalcones to exhibit the inhibitory activity of IL -5. (omitted)

Since Germany was unified in 1990, Korea became the only country that has the division in the world. This division has various bad effects on Korea's status with not reliable security, forfeited national impression, loss of tourism income and so on. Kim Jung-Il national defense committee chairman is the current dictator of North Korea which is a socialist state. Even if he is getting old, his successor is not proclaimed. In this situation, his sudden aggravation of health can cause seriously bad effects on diplomatic relations especially with South Korea. Therefore, the health information about Kim Jung-Il national defense committee chairman will be very important information. In order to deal this problem, we propose the method of extracting the Kim Jung-Il national defense committee chairman's health from his pictures which are recently open to the public by employing the diagnosis Ocular Inspection used in Oriental medicine. n order to get an accurate result, revising the Kim Jung-Il national defense committee chairman's pictures, which are not taken in a controled equal situation, is necessary. Therefore we employed the color analysis process with color revising and color differential comparing process without color revising. With these processes, we can make diagnosis of his diabetes and complications.

Interleukin 32 (IL-32) is a recently identified cytokine that induces major proinflammatory cytokines such as $TNF{\alpha}$ and IL-$1{\beta}$, which play an important role in chronic inflammatory diseases. To antagonize the biological function of IL-32 in cells, we generated RNA aptamers that could bind specifically to IL-32 protein. The highest affinity aptamer, AC3-3, successfully antagonized IL-32 by abolishing the induction of $TNF{\alpha}$ in the human lung carcinoma cells expressing IL-32. This aptamer could be used as a potent and selective antagonist against IL-32 to further elucidate the roles of IL-32 in chronic inflammatory diseases, as well as a therapeutic agent.

Pellinus linteus has been used for the prevention of cancer traditionally. There are three origins of Pellinus linteus, Korea, China and Cambodia. However, their immunological activities were not evlauated comparatively. Thus, this study was done to evaluate immunomodulatory effects of Phellinus linteus(PL) from Korea, china and cambodia, We confirmed PL showed two major protein bands, 50 kDa and 80 kDa by protein analysis. These PL effectively upregulated the expressions of IL-2 at 10 ug/ml and GM-CSF, IL-4, IL-10, IL-12(p35), IL-12(p40), IL-18, IFN-r in all concentrations. However, Korea-PL upregulated the expression of IL-12 more effectively than the other PLs. It intended to increase NO with no significance. Those results indicate Phellinus linteus had cytokine modulating effect

Due to the inconsistent fluctuation of blood supply for transfusion, much attention has been paid to the development of artificial blood using other animals. Although mini-pigs are candidate animals, contamination of mini-pig T cells in artificial blood may cause a major safety concern. Therefore, it is important to analyze the cross-reactivity of IL-7, the major survival factor for T lymphocytes, between human, mouse, and mini-pig. Thus, we compared the protein sequences of IL-7 and found that porcine IL-7 was evolutionarily different from human IL-7. We also observed that when porcine T cells were cultured with either human or mouse IL-7, these cells did not increase the survival or proliferation compared to negative controls. These results suggest that porcine T cells do not recognize human or mouse IL-7 as their survival factor.

Objectives: To report a correlation of IL-6 of pancreatic cancer and cancer progression in three pancreatic cancer patients. Method: Three pancreatic cancer patients were monitored for changes in IL-6 levels, tumor markers (CEA, CA19-9), and clinical outcomes over their treatment period. Results: Patient 1's IL-6 levels rose with liver metastasis and tumor progression, coinciding with increases in tumor markers. Patient 2's IL-6 levels remained elevated during chemotherapy, correlating with tumor growth. Patient 3's IL-6 levels spiked prior to cancer progression. Conclusion: Elevated IL-6 levels were observed in advancing pancreatic cancer patients, suggesting IL-6 as a potential biomarker for monitoring cancer progression in pancreatic cancer. Regular IL-6 monitoring could improve prognostic evaluations and treatment strategies.

It may be meaningful that analysis of possible continuity and change of North Korea's Kim Jong-un's ruling in its third year. For this analysis, for the application more rational and statistical analysis methods, this study takes advantage of the new years' messages of Kim Il Sung, Kim Jong Il, and Kim Jong-un. In North Korea, the new years' messages are rare enough to give influence to every field of the North Korea's community and the New Year's message performs tutorial role throughout the whole year. The said messages of Il Sung, Kim Jong Il, and Kim Jong-un regimes have been researched and comprehensively summarized. The summarized New Year's Message by Kim Il Sung, Kim Jong Il, and Kim Jong Un are separated, compared and analyzed by the regime by presentation method, configured information, and others followed by New Year message's characteristics and implications of each North Korean regime that have been investigated. Based on the results of this analysis of Kim Jong-un era, possibility of its continuation and change is forecasted. Above all, for possible continuation of the ruling, sticking to the governing socialist way and military-first politics are presented. For possible causes of change, such the four factors as partial opening to overcome economic problems, the North Korean nuclear issue, influx of the nature of capitalism, and Kim Jung-un's control weakness have been presented. Such the factors of possible change and continuation of the North Korea Kim Jung-un ruling are expected to work as a combination of factors. The issue of continuation and change of North Korea Kim Jong-un's control is a key point for us to solve the issues between North and South Koreas. In the situation that the whole people of South Korea have a national consensus in the effort of gathering the public opinion, it is a high time that we needed to have much flexibility to actively cope with the North Korean issues.
