  • Solution-state structure of native F430 was determined by using NMR methods and NMR-based distance geometry (DG) computations. Structures were generated with loose NOE-derived interproton distance restraints (2.0-2.5 Å, 2.0-3.5 Å and 2.0-4.5 Å for strong, medium, and weak NOE cross-peak intensities, respectively). 2D NOESY back-calculations of structures were subsequently carried out for establishing the consistence between experimental data and DG-model structures. The back-calculated 2D NOESY spectra of resulting DG structures were well consistent with experimental 2D NOESY spectra. Superposition of 20 independent structures with macrocyclic ring atoms and all atoms of F430 afforded pairwise root mean square deviations (RMSD) of 0.025-0.125 Å and 0.64-1.3 Å, respectively. The macrocyclic rings of structures are well converged to a unique conformation with saddle-shaped deformation whereas most of side chains are not converged. The average dihedral angle (N1-N2-N3-N4, 27.78±1.50°) of 20 DG-structures exhibits that the macrocyclic ring conformation is puckered as much as 12,13-diepimeric F430 (28.75±4.07°).

  • Marine fisheries are important natural resources and must be maintained, especially fish species that are important sources of food. Despite the increase in stocking programs to maintain fisheries with artificially raised fish, the genetic impact stocking has on the wild fry population has not been addressed. Genetic variation in rock bream, Oplegnathus fasciatus, within and between wild-caught parents and the $F_1$ generation produced by them in 1 day was assayed using nine highly variable micro satellite markers. The nine micro satellite loci used in this study displayed diverse polymorphisms, and in total, 98 different alleles were observed over all loci. Differences in genetic variability of the $F_1$ offspring compared to their wild-caught parents (brood stock) were observed in terms of allele frequency, gene diversity, and heterozygosity. Although the $F_1$ generation of rock bream was missing 16% of the micro satellite alleles, no significant reduction was found in mean heterozygosity of the $F_1$ population compared to the brood stock. Eight of nine loci showed significant Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) deviations in the $F_1$ population, while the brood stock deviated from HWE at three micro satellite loci (KOF85, KOF360 and KOF374). These deviations showed mostly a deficit of heterozygotes. Our results provide evidence for genetic differences in the $F_1$ hatchery offspring compared to their wild-caught parents and reinforce the need for a series of consecutive egg collections to avoid the loss of genetic variability. This also further underscores the importance of monitoring genetic variability of hatchery populations for the conservation of natural rock bream resources.

  • The feasibility of using the Monte Carlo code MCS to generate multigroup cross sections for nodal diffusion simulations RAST-F of liquid metal fast reactors is investigated in this paper. The performance of the MCS/RAST-F code system is assessed using steady-state simulations of the ANTS-100e core. The results show good agreement between MCS/RAST-F and MCS reference solutions, with a keff difference of less than 77 pcm and root-mean-square differences in radial and axial power of less than 0.5% and 0.25%, respectively. Furthermore, the MCS/RAST-F reactivity feedback coefficients are within three standard deviations of the MCS coefficients. To validate the internal thermal-hydraulic (TH) feedback capability in RAST-F code, the coupled neutronic/TH1D simulation of ANTS-100e is performed using the case matrix obtained from MCS branch calculations. The results are compared to those obtained using the MARS-LBE system code and show good agreement with relative temperature differences in fuel and coolant of less than 0.8%. This study demonstrates that the MCS/RAST-F code system can produce accurate results for core steady-state neutronic calculations and for coupled neutronic/TH simulations.

  • The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between perceived social support and the quality of life of cancer patients receiving gene therapy. The subjects for this study were 50 cancer patients receiving gene therapy at two general hospital in Seoul. The data were collected during the period from October 14, 1996 to November 11, 1996. The perceived social support was measured by the family support scale made by Hyun Sook Kang, by the medical support of life scale developed by Ok Soo Kim. The quality of life scale developed by Bang-Whal-Ran was used, among the questionnaire, physical factors was developed by U.S.A National Conference on Cancer Nursing. The data was analysed by the SAS statistical program. Percentile, means and standard deviations, t -test, ANOVA, Scheffe test, Pearson correlation were utilized for analysis. The results of this study were as follows. 1. The mean score of the perceived social support of the subjects was 83.66, the item score was 3.8. 1) The mean score of the perceived family support of the subjects was 44.96, the item mean score was 4.5. 2) The mean score of the perceived professional medical support of the subjects was 38.70, the item mean score was 3.2. 2. The mean score of quality of life of the subjects was 120.38, the item mean score was 3.17. For each factor in quality of life scale, the mean score was follows: for attitude toward life, 3.95, for familial relationship and financial status, 3.53, for social activity 3.24, for emotional status, 3.08, for healthy perceptive, 2.90, for physical symptom, 2.80. 3. The result of the analysis of the relationship between perceived social support and quality of life showed a positive correlation(r=.4853, p=.0004). Therefore, the higher the perceived social support of the patients, the higher the quality of life. 1) The result of the analysis of the relationship between perceived family support and quality of life showed significant correlation(r=. 3566, p=.0110). Therefore the higher the perceived family support of the patients, the higher the quality of life. 2) The result of the analysis of the relationship between perceived professional medical support and quality of life showed significant correlation (r=.4477, p=.0011). Therefore, the higher the perceived professional medical support of the patients the higher the quality of life. 4. There was a significant difference in perceived social support according to sex(F=2.1437, p= .0371), others coping non-family (F=2.4863, p=.0164) and duration of treatment (F=4.16, p=.0218). 5. There was a significant differance in quality of life according to sex(F=2.6932, p=.0097), degree of education(F=2.3610, p=.0223), others coping non-family(F=2.0502, p=.0458). In conclusion, this study revealed that social support is an important factor that associated with the quality of life in cancer patients receiving gene therapy.

  • The applicability of the combined nearly ideal binary solvent/Redlich-Kister (CNIBS/R-K) equation for correlation of various solvatochromic parameters (SP) with composition is shown employing 84 experimental data sets for aqueous and organic binary solvent systems at temperatures ranging 15 to $75^{\circ}C$. The model provides a simple computational model to correlate/predict different SP values in various binary solvent systems. In proposed equations, $MPD_s$ (mean percentage deviations) are between 0.0500% and 6.9591% in mixtures of dimethyl sulfoxide with 2-methylpropan-2-ol and benzene with 2-methylpropan-2-ol, respectively. Correlation of the calculated and experimental values of various SP give an equation with an overall mean percentage deviation (OMPD) of 1.1900, $R^2$ = 0.99692, s.e = 0.01223 and F = 341925.51. Approximately 70% of the calculated SP values have IPD (individual percentage deviation) lower than one and it is possible to predict unmeasured SP values by using only eight experimental data.

  • PET/CT 영상에서 인공물은 정량성을 저하시키는 원인이 된다. 여러 인공물 중 방사성의약품 주사 시 주사오류로 인해 발생할 수 있는 열소는 그 주변부에 인공물을 발생시켜 영상의 질을 저하시킬 뿐 아니라 정량평가의 정확도를 저하시킨다. 본 연구에서는 영상의 재구성시 표시시야(Display Field of View, DFOV)의 중심이동법을 이용하여 주사부위에 발생한 열소부위를 제거하고 정량평가에 미치는 영향을 평가해 보고자 한다. GE Discovery STE 16 (GE Healthcare, Milwaukee, USA) 장비에 1994 NEMA 모형을 이용하였다. 모형에 0.005 MBq/mL의 $^{18}F-FDG$를 채우고 모형주변에 열소대 배후방사능의 농도비가 200:1이 되도록 열소를 만들어 모형외곽에 인위적으로 두었다. 영상획득 후 DFOV의 중심 위치를 이동하여 열소부위가 DFOV로부터 벗어나도록 영상을 재구성한 후 적용 전, 후를 비교하였다. 영상에 대한 평가는 열소의 영향을 받지 않은 부위에서 DFOV 중심이동 전, 후의 배후방사능의 평균 표준섭취계수와 표준편차를 산출하여 재구성에 의한 영향을 비교, 평가하였다. 또한 인공물이 발생한 부위에 관심영역을 설정하고 인공물의 발생 전, 후의 평균 표준섭취계수와 표준편차를 산출하여 백분율 오차를 각각 비교하였다. 모형영상 내 열소로 인한 인공물의 영향을 받지 않은 부위에서 DFOV 중심이동 법을 적용하기 전 평균 표준 섭취계수는 $0.67{\pm}0.06g/mL$이었고, 적용 후에는 $0.65{\pm}0.06g/mL$로 나타났다. 또한 영상에서 열소에 의해 발생한 인공물이 있는 부위의 평균 표준섭취계수와 표준편차는 $0.32{\pm}0.08g/mL$였으며, DFOV 중심이동을 적용한 경우는 $0.56{\pm}0.12g/mL$로 나타났다. 이 때 열소의 영향을 받은 열소 인접부위와 상대적으로 영향을 받지 않은 부위에 대한 백분율 오차는 65.3%와 97.4%로 각각 나타났다. PET/CT 영상에서 열소에 의해 발생 된 인공물은 DFOV의 중심이동법 적용 시 평균 표준섭취계수를 32.1% 향상시킬 수 있으며, 이 때 중심이동 법에 의한 다른 부위의 영향은 유의한 차이가 없음을 알 수 있다. 결과에서와 같이 방사성의약품의 주사오류 시 발생한 종 창 등으로 발생되는 인공물의 영향은 DFOV 중심이동법을 적용할 경우 보다 정확한 정량평가가 가능해지고 그로 인하여 영상의 진단적 가치를 높일 수 있을 것이다.

The correlations between the variables were analyzed using the Pearson correlation coefficient. Results : Smartphone addiction according to the general characteristics of the study subjects showed significant differences in 'residence type' (F=2.91, p=.035) and 'average smartphone usage time' (F=20.15, p=.000). It seemed. self-efficacy was determined by 'age' (F=2.74, p=.045), 'subjective academic level' (F=7.71, p=.001), and 'average smartphone usage time' (F=3.96, p=.009) showed a significant difference. Communication skills showed a significant difference in 'average smartphone usage time' (F=3.83, p=.011). The correlation between the variables of the study subjects showed that self-efficacy was negatively correlated with smartphone addiction (r=-.42, p<.001), and communication ability was positively correlated with self-efficacy. It was found that (r=.55, p<.001). 15) Conclusion : On the basis of the study results, the higher the nursing students' smartphone addiction, the lower their self-efficacy, and the higher their communication ability, the higher their self-efficacy. Therefore, intervention research is necessary to develop interventions for preventing smartphone addiction and increasing communication ability among nursing students.
