In order to examine efficient L-threo-2,3-Dihydroxyphenylserine (L-threo-DOPS) synthesis process using whole cell biocatalyst, a thermostable L-threonine aldolase (L-TA), which cloned from Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) and improved for stability, was expressed in a Corynebacterium glutamicum R strain. The constructed Corynebacterium expression vector, pCG-H44(1) successfully expressed L-TA in C. glutamicum R strain, but showed very low expression level. In order to improve the expression level, the expression vector named pCG-H44(2) was reconstructed by eliminating 1 nucleotide between SD sequence and start codon of L-TA. The pCG-H44(2) vector plasmid was able to overexpress L-TA approximately 3.2 times higher than pCG-H44(1) in C. glutamicum R strain (CGH-2). When the whole cell of CGH-2 was examined in a repeated batch system, L-threo-DOPS was successfully synthesized with a yield of 4.0 mg/ml and maintain synthesis rate constantly after 30 repeated batch reactions for 130 h.

The aim of this was to examine the mediating effect of resilience in the relatioinship of stress to emotional intelligence in nursing students experienced COVID-19. The participants in this study were 179 nursing students in 3rd and 4th grade and data were collected using self-reported questionnaires. Data were analyzed using the SPSS/WIN 25.0 program, with descriptive statistics x2-test, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correlation. There were significant correlations between college based stress and emotional intelligence(r=-.33, p<.001), clinical based stress and emotional intelligence(r=-.31, p<.001), resilience and emotional intelligence(r=62, p<.001). Resilience showed partial mediating effects in the relationship between college-based stress and emotional intelligence. Resilience showed full mediating effects in the relationship between clinical-based stress and emotional intelligence(Z=-3.07, p<.001). Based on the findings of this study, the enhancement of resilience may positively affect the emotional intelligence of the nursing students, even while they are stress. Therefore, it is necessary to develop effective strategies to enhance resilience for stress.

Nowaday, The tendency of complexity and extension of construction fields increase the need for efficient works managements like a construction management. Consequently, by the introduction of Decision-Making Theories, researches for improving construction field's efficiencies are actively performed. Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process method is invented, so that describes a decision maker's ambiguous linguistic judgment with fuzzy numbers. but most of researches on Fuzzy-AHP use symmetric triangular fuzzy function for estimating each evaluation item with the consequence that exact judgments are impossible. those limits are caused by the point that employed fuzzy ranking methods can not support dissymmetric fuzzy numbers. In this research, we aims to overcome this problem with R.P.R(Relative Preference Ratio) method and suggest improved Fuzzy-AHP method which can use dissymmetric fuzzy triangular numbers.

Most hospitalized children will experience physical pain as well as psychological distress. Preschool children's pain perception related to painful procedures can increase due to elevated anxiety and fear because they do not have understanding logical of their disease and hospitalization. In particular, they are distressed about needle - related procedures which are feared because they are seen to be a cause of bodily damage. This descriptive study attempted to identify pain perception levels in preschool children and their mothers. A self-reporting measurement and behavioral observation were used to collect the data. A total of 25 hospitalized preschool children and their mothers were investigated and data were collected about 60 painful procedures. Data collection was carried out by the researcher and two trained investigators from November first to December tenth. Three insruments were used to collect the data : Faces Pain Rating Scale(FPRS) developed by Beyer was used to measure the degree of preschool children's pain perception about painful procedures. The Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) devised by Huskisson was used to assess the degree of mothers' pain perception about their children's painful procedures. A Pain Behavioral Checklist based on the Procedure Behavior Check List by LeBaron and Zelter and modified by the researcher was used to observe behaviors of preschool children, their mothers, and nurses when the painful procedures took place. The data were analyzed by an SPSS program, and were tested using real numbers, percentages, Pearson correlation coefficient, t-test, and ANOVA. The results of this study are as follows : 1. Of all the painful procedures, the mean score for the FPRS for the preschool children's pain perception was 4.02 points, and the mean score for the VAS of mothers' pain perception was 10.92 points. 2. A Positive correlation which was statistically significant was found between the pain perception of preschool children and their mothers (r＝.53, p＜.01). that is, the higher the children's pain perception was, the higher their mothers' pain perception was. 3. The characteristics of the painful procedures related with children's pain perception as follows : The type of painful procedure was found to be statistically significant (F＝23.44, p＜.01), Among the three procedures Ⅳ starting was found to be perceived as the most painful procedures to the children. The greater the number of times that the procedure had been done, the higher the pain perception was (F＝4.44, p＜.01), and the longer the duration of the procedure, the higher the pain perception wa(r＝.30, p＜.05). Pain perception in the treatment room was higher than in the children's room(t＝6.30, ＜.01), pain perception in the mother's presence was the higher than when the mother was not present (t＝2.91, p＜.01). 4. The characteristics of the painful procedures related with the mothers' pain perception as follows : The type of painful procedure was found to be statistically significant(F＝6.01, p＜.01). Among the three procedures Ⅳ sampling was found to be perceived as the most painful procedures to the mothers. The greater the number of times that the procedure had been done, the higher the pain perception was (F＝5.95, p＜.01), and the longer the duration of the procedure, the higher the pain perception was (r＝.31, p＜.05). Pain perception in the treatment room was higher than in the children's room (t＝3.51, p＜.01), but pain perception in the mother's presence showed statistically significant no difference. 5. Of all of the 19 children's behaviors during the painful procedures, the most frequent behaviors observed Were as follows in order of frequency “crying”, “screamirig”, “facial grimacing”, “physical resistance”, Of all of the nine methers' behaviors, the most frequent by observed in “console children”, “hold children”, “applaud children”, Of all of the 11 nurses' behaviors during the painful procedures, the mast frequent in order were “smiling”, “physical restraint”, “console children”, “praise children”. 6. A positive correlation between children's and mothers' pain perception and children's behaviors was found to be statistically significant (r＝.65, p＜.01, r＝67, p＜.01). Also the relationship between children's and mothers' pain percertion, and mothers' behavior was found to be statistically significant (r＝.57, p＜. 01, 4＝.60, p＜.01). The relationship between children's pain perception and nurses' behaviors was also found to be statistically significant (r＝.46, p＜.01), but there was difference between mothers' pain perception and nurses' behaviors.

Bisphosphonates are the mainstay of therapy worldwide for osteoporosis. However, bisphosphonates also have limitations. The objective of this study was to determine the role of miR-101-3p/Rap1b signal pathway in osteoclast differentiation after treatment with bisphosphonates. Our results revealed that miR-101-3p was an important regulator in bisphosphonates treated-osteoclasts. When miR-101-3p was down-regulated in bone marrow-derived macrophage-like cells (BMMs), the development of mature osteoclasts was promoted, and vice versa. However, alendronate decreased multinucleated cell number regardless of whether miR-101-3p was knocked down or over-expressed. TRAP activity assay confirmed the above results. Luciferase assay indicated that miR-101-3p was a negative regulator of Rap1b. Western blot analysis revealed that protein expression level of Rap1b in BMMs transfected with OV-miR-101-3p was lower than that in BMMs transfected with an empty vector. Rap1b overexpression increased TRAP-positive multinucleated cells, while Rap1b inhibition decreased the cell numbers. In vivo data showed that miR-101-3p inhibited osteoclast differentiation in ovariectomized mice while overexpressed of Rap1b blocked the differentiation. Taken together, our data demonstrate that miR-101-3p/Rap1b signal pathway plays a key role in osteoclast differentiation after treatment with bisphosphonates.

This study repeated low-frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to evaluate the effects on cognitive function in chronic stroke patients. Among the chronic stroke patients, 30 patients selected by MMSE-K and BCRS-K were divided randomly into 3 groups. Group I (n=10) had only sound applied, group II (n=10) were applied 1 Hz rTMS on the damaged side and group III (n=10) were applied to 1 Hz rTMS on the opposite side for total 2 weeks, 20 minutes per a day, five times per a week. To examine the change in cognitive function, CREAD-K scores were measured before, 1 week, 2 weeks, and then 3 months after the intervention. The CREAD-K scores were measured before and 1 week, 2 weeks and 3 months after the interventions. The immediate recall memory showed a significant difference after 2 weeks and 3 months in groups II and III (p<.05), The recognition memory showed a significant difference after 2 weeks and 3 months in group III (p<.05). The delayed recall memory showed significant differences after 3 months in group III than in group I (p<.05). Therefore, the application of low-frequency rTMS has a positive influence on the cognitive rehabilitation of chronic stroke patients.
