In this note we give some results on the jump (due to Kato [5] and West [7]) of a semi-Fredholm operator. Throughout this note, suppose X is an Banach space and write L(X) for the set of all bounded linear operators on X. A operator $T \in L(x)$ is called upper semi-Fredholm if it has closed range with finite dimensional null space, and lower semi-Fredholm if it has closed range with its range of finite co-dimension. It T is either upper or lower semi-Fredholm we shall call it semi-Fredholm and Fredholm it is both. The index of a (semi-) Fredholm operator T is given by $$ index(T) = n(T) = d(T),$$ where $n(T) = dim T^{-1}(0)$ and d(T) = codim T(X).

In this paper, the theoretical analysis of lateral guiding in stripe geometry DH Laser Diode is performed. In the analysis, the gain & refractive index variations in active layer are modeled by very analogous methmatical function to their real profile and the two dimensional lateral waveguiding of DH LD have been analyzed by perturbation theory. Finally, the beam width dependence of refractive index variation(n), active layer width(d), and cavity length(L), have been analyzed.

In this paper, the electron transport characteristic in CF$_4$has been analysed over the E/N range 1~300(Td) by a two-term approximation Boltzmann equation method and by a Monte Carlo simulation. The alteration of cross sections from the literature is avoided as much as possible in the analysis. The motion has been calculated to give swarm parameters for the electron drift velocity(W), diffusion coefficient(D$_{L}$), the ratio of the diffusion coefficient to the mobility(D$_{L}$/$\mu$), mean energy($\varepsilon$), the electron energy distribution function. The electron energy distribution function has been analysed in CF$_4$at E/N=50, 100 and 200(Td) for a case of the equilibrium region in the mean electron energy. The results of Boltzmann equation and Monte Carlo simulation have been compared with experimental data by Y. Nakamura and M. Hayashi.shi.

For a complex measure ${\mu}$ on B and $f{\in}L^2_a(B)$, the Toeplitz operator $T_{\mu}$ on $L^2_a(B,dv)$ with symbol ${\mu}$ is formally defined by $T_{\mu}(f)(w)=\int_{B}f(w)\bar{K(z,w)}d{\mu}(w)$. We will investigate properties of the Toeplitz operator $T_{\mu}$ with symbol ${\mu}$. We define the Toeplitz type operator $T^r_{\psi}$ with symbol ${\psi}$, $$T^r_{\psi}f(z)=c_r\int_{B}\frac{(1-{\parallel}w{\parallel}^2)^r}{(1-{\langle}z,w{\rangle})^{n+r+1}}{\psi}(w)f(w)d{\nu}(w)$$. We will also investigate properties of the Toeplitz type operator with symbol ${\psi}$.

Objectives: As effective treatments for dementia are lacking in Western medicine, complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is considered a useful option. While the quality of life (QoL) is a vital outcome for patients with dementia, the QoL of patients receiving CAM for dementia remains ambiguous. This study aimed to determine the effect of CAM on QoL outcomes in dementia patients. Methods: A search was performed using the keywords "dementia," "Alzheimer's," "cognitive impairment," "Chinese," "Korean," "oriental," "herbal," "acupuncture," and "quality of life". All quantitative data were synthesized using R version 4.1.1. Results: Twenty-five randomized controlled trials (RCTs), 16 pre-post trials, and two cohort studies were selected for the systematic review. QoL in Alzheimer's disease (QOL-AD) (n=11, 25.6%) and geriatric QoL in dementia (GQOL-D, n=9, 20.9%) were the most utilized QoL instruments. Significant benefits in QoL were observed after receiving mind, body, combined mind and body, nursing, oriental medicine, and acupuncture therapies. In the meta-analysis, the combined effect was shown to significantly increase QOL-AD compared to before CAM interventions (standardized mean difference, SMD: 0.507; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.191~0.824; p<0.01). The overall synthesized estimates in the GQOL-D showed a significantly improved QoL (SMD: 0.537, 95% CI: 0.238~0.837 p<0.01; one group; SMD: 1.465, 95% CI: 0.934~1.996, p<0.01). The seven studies assessing the cost-effectiveness of CAM reported uncertain outcomes. Conclusions: This study showed that CAM interventions benefited patients with dementia by improving their QoL. While additional standardized research is required, CAMs are suggested as effective clinical management for patients with dementia. They are also suggested as complementing therapies for these patients.

Purpose : 본 연구의 목적은 항암치료로 인한 빈혈환자의 치료에서 epoetin alpha (rHuEPO) 피하주사 시, 주일회 요법과 주삼회요법의 헤모글로빈(hemoglobin, Hb) 상승 효과를 비교하는 것이다. Methods : 본 연구는 1999년 3월부터 2005년 3월까지 국립암센터에서 항암치료로 인한 빈혈로 epoetin alpha를 투여 받은 환자를 대상으로 의무기록의 자료를 후향적으로 수집하여 분석하였다. 연구에 포함된 환자는 rHuEPO 10,000 IU 주삼회투여군(n = 127)과 20,000 IU 주일회투여군(n = 81)으로 구분되었으며, 이들은 필요에 따라 경구용 철분보조제를 섭취하였다. Epoetin alpha 치료 시작 후 최대 8주까지 2주 간격으로 Hb 수치변화를 분석하였다. Results : 치료 시작 시점의 rHuEPO 10,000 IU 주삼회투여군과 20,000 IU 주일회투여군의 평균 Hb수치는 유사하였 다 (9.4 g/dL vs. 9.7 g/dL). Epoetin alpha 치료 후 8주까지 두 그룹간의 헤모글로빈 수치의 상승 정도에는 유의한 차이가 없었다 ($1.57{\pm}1.39$ g/dL vs. $1.68{\pm}1.35$ g/dL, p=0.59). 또한 경구용 철분보조제 투여여부, cisplatin 포함 항암제 투여여부 및 성별에 따른 군의 분류에 있어서도 rHuEPO 10,000 IU 주삼회투여군과 20,000 IU 주일회투여군의 평균 Hb 상승수치는 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. Conclusion : 한국인에서 항암치료로 인한 빈혈의 치료 시에 rHuEPO 20,000 IU 주일회투여 용법은 10,000 IU 주 삼회투여 용법과 유사한 Hb 상승효과를 가진다.

This experiment was carried out to investigate the lectin of soybean (Glycine max L.) seed. Purification was done by 50-80% ammonium sulfate precipitation, CM-cellulose and Sephadex G-100 column. The purity was ascertained by electrophoresis. The molecular weight of purified lectin was estimated as 132,000. It was composed of three subunits which molecular weight was 45,000. The lectin was identified as glycoprotein by Schiff's reagent staining and Dubois method. The lectin agglutinated erythrocytes of rabbit and human. The amounts of the lectin to agglutinate human erythrocytes differed among the blood types: The blood type A required the least amount, the next was B, O, and AB in order. The agglutination was specifically inhibited by 5${\mu}$g/ml of N -acetyl.-D-galactoseamine and 200${\mu}$g/ml of D-galactose. Other tested sugars could not inhibit the agglutination of the erythrocytes by the lectin.

Purpose: Malnutrition may influence neurocognitive development in children by directly affecting the brain structural development, or indirectly by affecting the children's cognition experience. Malnutrition alters the cell numbers, cell migration, synaptogenesis, and neurotransmission due to inadequate availability of necessary micronutrients to support cell growth. We aimed to analyze neurocognitive development in infants with malnutrition and its association with long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA), micronutrients levels and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) findings. Methods: The study included two groups; group 1, infants with malnutrition (n=24), group 2; healthy infants (n=21). Peripheral blood was obtained from the participants for studying micronutrients and LC-PUFA levels. The neurocognitive development was analyzed by the use of an Ankara Developmental Screening Inventory test. MRS were performed on all infants. Results: All parameters of neurocognitive development and serum calcium ($9.6{\pm}0.9mg/dL$ vs. $10.4{\pm}0.3mg/dL$, p<0.05) and magnesium ($2.02{\pm}0.27mg/dL$ vs. $2.2{\pm}0.14mg/dL$, p<0.05) levels were noted as being low in infants with marked malnutrition. No difference was found in LC-PUFA levels between healthy and malnourished infants. Thalamic choline/creatine levels were significantly high in infants with malnutrition ($1.33{\pm}0.22$ vs. $1.18{\pm}0.22$, p<0.05). Total neurocognitive development in infants was positively correlated with serum calcium levels (p<0.05, r=0.381). Conclusion: Calcium supplementation may improve neurocognitive development in malnourished infants.

In the course of phytochemical studies of Rumex acetosella L. (Polygonaceae), the MeOH extract of the whole plants was fractionated with $CH_2Cl_2$ and $H_2O$, and the $CH_2Cl_2$ layer was fractionated again with 90% MeOH and hexane. Whereas $H_2O$ layer was fractionated with EtOAc and then with n-BuOH again. By repeated column chromatography, compound 1 was isolated from the 90% MeOH fraction, compounds 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 were from the ethylacetate fraction, and compound 5 was from the n--BuOH fraction. On the basis of physico-chemical, spectroscopic evidences and in comparison with authentic samples, the structures of them were confirmed to emodin, citreorosein, $chrysophanol-8-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$, luteolin and $luteolin-7-O {\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$.
