In the total knee arthroplasty (TKA), kinematic benefic of a mobile-bearing total knee prosthesis is still arguing. Main reasons for implant failure are loosening and polyethylene wear and should be solved with new designs with mob ile bearings. The kinematics of the knee prosthesis also affects the implant failure. Recently, a second generation of p rostheses with a mobile-bearing was developed. The current study aimed to assess the kinematic path of the 2nd generation mobile knee prosthesis compared to the normal knees. Using 3D/2D registration method, CT-derived 3D knee models were fitted to sequential 2D X-ray images during knee flexion. 3D kinematics of the femur and the tibia were analyzed. The 2nd generation mobile-bearing TKA prosthesis (e.motion, Aesculap, Germany) knees showed less external rotation and knee flexion range compared to the normal knee, but the trend of external rotation was similar each other.

The overall effects of three different beers on white bread were examined in terms of mixograph, pH, fermentation rate, TPA, crumbScan, colorimeter, sensory evaluation, and the hardness of bread through different storage times (0, 1, 2, 3 days), and texture as measured by texture analyzer. According to mixograph, the control (CON), black beer stout (BOB) and Asahi beer (AOB) but not max beer (MOB) were found to be proper between 3 and 5 minutes of peak time. All samples for peak value were at the level of over 60%. AOB showed the highest specific volume, and was the lowest in hardness (i.e. highest in softness) by TPA and storage days. In sensory evaluation, the difference test showed that AOB had the best volume, springiness, moistness, and softness. Moreover, in an overall preference test AOB scored the highest points in texture, flavor, taste, and overall acceptance.

Purpose: The smoking rates among teenagers in Korea grow gradually since 1980s despite of the numerous programs for youth smoking prevention and cessation have been developed and implemented. The purpose of this study was to explore and describe the processes of habituating to smoking among teenagers using the grounded theory methodology. Method: Qualitative data was collected via six focus group interviews. A total of 38 people, twelve teachers and 24 middle school students participated in this study. All focus group interviews were tape-recorded. transcribed. and analyzed according to the grounded theory methodology. Results: The overriding theme of the elicited grounded theory was "stepping into a quagmire by a merest chance". The student participants began smoking by a simple chance. The contingent factors to starting smoking were "discord within the family", "family member's smoking", "schoolwork stresses". or "a rebellious spirit". The conditions of smoking included accessibility. going around in group, and the lack of discipline. "Stigmatizing", "involved in mob violence", and "making a poor academic record" coexisted as the covariance of the smoking habituation. Conclusion: The findings of this study illustrated the comprehensive and insightful picture of the phenomena under investigation. Nursing implications and further directions for research were discussed.

DW2282, (S)- (+)-4-phenyl -1-[N-(4-am mob enzoyl) -indolin-5- sulfonyl]-4,5- dihydro-2-imidazolone hydrochloride, is a novel anticancer agent thought to have an unique mechanism of action on the inhibition of tumor growth. In this study, we estimated in vivo antitumor activities and pharmacokinetics of Dw2282 depending on various vehicles. The inhibition rate of tumor growth was increased by 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg of Dw2282 in a dose-dependent manner. When Dw2282 dissolved in 4 sorts of vehicles was orally single dosed to rats at 50 mg/kg, Cmax of Dw2282 in 0.5% CMC.Na was a half as high as those in PG, PG+CP and PG+CP+DW. When Dw2282 was orally administered to mice for 5 days, antitumor activity of 130 mg/kg suspended in 0.5% CMC.Na was as effective as that of 65 mg/kg dissolved in the rest of vehicles. Taken together, it is thought that antitumor activities of Dw2282 are resulted from the absorption extent of it and related to the vehicle used.

With several enhanced access technologies, users have many changes to select their preference access network. There are great differences between access technologies, users' need to handover from one access network to another is getting bigger. As users' need grows there are several works to archive fast handover between heterogeneous and homogeneous access networks. However traditional handover mechanisms work only on L2 or L3 have several limits that prevent fast and heterogeneous handover. To overcome those limits, IEEE 802.21 WG and IRTF MOBOPTS RG are working for developing handover mechanisms that uses L2 information on theupper layers like L3. This paper introduces two new L2 information and properties can be used to archive fast handover of mobile nodes.

The appearance of 3D-Touch interface provided the basis of a new interaction method between the users and the mob ile interface. However, only a few smartphones provide 3D-Touch features, and most of the 2D-Touch devices does not provide any means of applying the 3D-Touch interactions. This results in different user experiences between the two interaction methods. Thus, this research proposes the Virtual Force Touch method, which allows the users to utilize the 3D-Touch Interface on 2D-Touch based smart devices. This paper propose the suitable virtual force touch mechanism that is possible to realize users' inputs by calculating and analysis the force touch area of users' finger. This proposal is designed on customized smartphone device which has 2D-Touch sensors.

The Hippo pathway was originally discovered in Drosophila by genetic screening and it has been shown to be conserved in various organisms including human. Until now, the essential roles of Hippo pathway in regulating cell proliferation, apoptosis, tumorigenesis, and organ size control is extensively studied. Currently, Mats1/2 (Mob1a/1b), one of the important components in Hippo pathway, mutant mice were generated which has abnormal phenotype such as resistance to apoptosis and spontaneous tumorigenesis. Of note, Mats1/2 mutant mice also showed dental malocclusion. Therefore, in this study, we have evaluated the bone phenotype of Mats1/2 mutant mice. Although the mRNA expressions of Mats1 or Mats2 were observed in both osteoclastogenesis and osteoblastogenesis, the increase of Mats1 level was most prominent during osteoblastogenesis. The RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation from bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs) was unaltered upon Mats1/2 mutation; however, the osteoblast differentiation using calvarial pre-osteoblasts was significantly reduced in Mats1/2 mutant mice compare to that of wild type mice. In accordance with in vitro results, Mats1/2 mutant mice showed decreased bone volume as well as increased trabecular separation in ${\mu}CT$ analyses. These results may provide novel prospect of the probable linkage between Hippo pathway and bone homeostasis.

The hormone resistin is associated with typeII diabetes mellitus in rodent model. Resistin impairs glucose tolerance and insulin action. A new class of anti-diabetic drugs were called thiazolidinediones (TZDs) downregulates a resistin which is induced during adipocyte differentiation. But the connection between increased adiposity and resistin remains unknown. The objectives of this study was to clone a mouse resistin cDNA and to generate transgenic mice overexpressing mouse resistin gene. The 555 bp of mouse resistin was amplified from mob cDNAS by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and cloned into pCR$\^$(R)/ 2.1 TOPO T-vector. Mouse resistin mRNA on the basis of Genbank sequence (acession no. AF323080). Then, the PCR product was cloned into pTargeT$\^$TM/ mammalian expression vector that has pCMV promoter and chimeric intron. Restriction enzyme analysis with BamH I and Not I was carried out to determine an orientation of the insert in the vector. The pCMV-mus/resistin gene was prepared from previous recombinant pTargeT$\^$TM/-mus/resistin by digestion of Bgl II, and has used for microinjection into pronuclei of one cell embryos. The microinjected embryos were transfered to pseudopregnant foster-mother. Mouse resistin expression was detected in transgenic F1 mice by Reverse Transcriptase- Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR). Resistin gene expression mouse has heavier body weight which was measured higher level of plasma glucose than that of normal mouse. And in diet-induced experiments, the abdominal fat pads were isolated from each 24h starvation and re-feeding after fasting group mice that were assessed by RT-PCR analysis. In fasting group mice, resistin expression was higher than that of re-feeding group mice. This result suggests that the resistin gene overexpressing mice may be became to obesity and be useful as an animal disease model to be diabetes mellitus caused by insulin resistance of resistin.
