Objective: Percutaneous portal vein (PV) stent placement can be an effective treatment for symptoms associated with portal hypertension. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of PV stenting on the overall survival (OS) in patients with malignant PV stenosis. Materials and Methods: Two groups of patients with malignant PV stenosis were compared in this retrospective study involving two institutions. A total of 197 patients who underwent PV stenting between November 2016 and August 2019 were established as the stent group, whereas 29 patients with PV stenosis who were treated conservatively between July 2013 and October 2016 constituted the no-stent group. OS was compared between the two groups before and after propensity score matching (PSM). Risk factors associated with OS were evaluated using the Cox proportional hazards model. Procedure-associated adverse events were also evaluated. Results: The stent group finally included 100 patients (median age, 65 [interquartile range, 58-71] years; 64 male). The no-stent group included 22 patients (69 [61-75] years, 13 male). Stent placement was successful in 95% of attempted cases, and the 1- and 2-year stent occlusion-free survival rate was 56% (95% confidence interval, 45%-69%) and 44% (32%-60%), respectively. The median stent occlusion-free survival time was 176 (interquartile range, 70-440) days. OS was significantly longer in the stent group than in the no-stent group (median 294 vs. 87 days, p < 0.001 before PSM, p = 0.011 after PSM). The 1- and 3-year OS rates before PSM were 40% and 11%, respectively, in the stent group. The 1-year OS rate after PSM was 32% and 5% in the stent and no-stent groups, respectively. Anemia requiring transfusion (n = 2) and acute thrombosis necessitating re-stenting (n = 1) occurred in three patients in the stent group within 1 week. Conclusion: Percutaneous placement of a PV stent may be effective in improving OS in patients with malignant PV stenosis.

The author studied prognostic indicators of sixty Korean male alcoholics in psychological, social and biological aspects who were divided into abstinent and drinking groups. Thirty patients were assigned to each group. They were controlled in age and sex. Both groups were compared in terms of the demographic characteristics, past drinking history, treatment history, famaily history, ego strength and personality factors differences and distribution of dopamine $D_2$ receptor gene Al allele. Also the author studied relation of clinical course, alcoholic family history and dopamine $D_2$ receptor gene Al allele in both groups. The results were as follows; 1) The abstinent group had higher rate of married state, higher economic status, longer education years and maintained more stable job than the drinking group. But made no differences in occupation and religion. 2) The abstinent group showed higher rate of living with family members than the drinking group, and wives and fellows of the alcoholics anonymous were important factors for maintenance of abstinence. Family loading and parent's characters were not different. 3) The abstinent group had longer maximal length of abstinence but mean amount of alcohol consumption per day were larger than the drinking group. But there were no differences in duration of past drinking, drinking pattern, main drinking time, first drinking age and preference of the kind of alcoholic beverage in the past drinking history. 4) The abstinent group showed stronger treatment motivation, absolute abstinence in treatment goal, more voluntary adimission and maintained longer therapeutic relationship otter discharge than the drinking group. But both groups showed negative attitude toward antabuse therapy. 5) The abstinent group had higher mean score in ego strength scale than the drinking group. 6) In the personality factor questionnaire, the abstinent group showed strong laugh poise and the trait of praxernia, conservatism personality but the drinking group showed tough poise, the trait of weak ego strength(unstableness) and tough mindedness personality. 7) In comparision of dopamine $D_2$ receptor gene A1 allele, the prevalence of A1 allele was seventy percent and the frequency was 0.38 in the abstinent group. The prevalence of A1 allele was sixty percent and the frequency was 0.42 in the drinking group. Both groups were not significantly different in A1 allele prevalence and frequency. 8) In comparision of dopamine $D_2$ receptor gene A1 allele according to alcoholic family history, the prevalence of A1 allele was seventy percent and the frequency was 0.43 in the family history positive group. The prevalence of A1 allele was sixty-one percent and the frequency was 0.38 in the family history negative group. Both groups were not significantly different in A1 allele prevalence and frequency. In comparision of past drinking history according to alcoholic family history, the family history positive group showed earlier first drinking and problem drinking, but the family history negative group hod longer duration of past drinking. The mean amount of alcohol consumption per day, the longest duration of abstinence and Alcoholism Screening Test of Seoul Natoinal Mental Hospital(NAST) results were not significant. In conclusion, the results suggest that successful prognostic indicators of Korean alcoholics are married state, higher economic status, longer education years, stable job, living with family members, longer abstinence during past drinking history, strong treatment motivation, absolute abstinence in treatment goal, voluntary adimission, maintained therapeufic relationship, strong ego strength and the trait of praxernia, conservatism personality. But occupation, religion, alcoholic family history, parent's characters, duration of past drinking, drinking pattern, main drinking time, first drinking age, preference of the kind of alcoholic beverage, attitude to antabuse therapy and distribution of dopamine $D_2$ receptor A1 allele were not significantly related to the prognostic indicators of Korean alcoholics.

The mammary gland is made up of remarkably sensitive tissue, which has the capability of producing a large volume of secretion, milk, under normal or healthy conditions. When bacteria enter the gland and establish an infection (mastitis), inflammation is initiated accompanied by an influx of white cells from the blood stream, by altered secretory function, and changes in the volume and composition of secretion. Cell numbers in milk are closely associated with inflammation and udder health. These somatic cell counts (SCC) are accepted as the international standard measurement of milk quality in dairy and for mastitis diagnosis. NIR Spectra of unhomogenized composite milk samples from 14 cows (healthy and mastitic), 7days after parturition and during the next 30 days of lactation were measured. Different multivariate analysis techniques were used to diagnose the disease at very early stage and determine how the spectral properties of milk vary with its composition and animal health. PLS model for prediction of somatic cell count (SCC) based on NIR milk spectra was made. The best accuracy of determination for the 1100-2500nm range was found using smoothed absorbance data and 10 PLS factors. The standard error of prediction for independent validation set of samples was 0.382, correlation coefficient 0.854 and the variation coefficient 7.63%. It has been found that SCC determination by NIR milk spectra was indirect and based on the related changes in milk composition. From the spectral changes, we learned that when mastitis occurred, the most significant factors that simultaneously influenced milk spectra were alteration of milk proteins and changes in ionic concentration of milk. It was consistent with the results we obtained further when applied 2DCOS. Two-dimensional correlation analysis of NIR milk spectra was done to assess the changes in milk composition, which occur when somatic cell count (SCC) levels vary. The synchronous correlation map revealed that when SCC increases, protein levels increase while water and lactose levels decrease. Results from the analysis of the asynchronous plot indicated that changes in water and fat absorptions occur before other milk components. In addition, the technique was used to assess the changes in milk during a period when SCC levels do not vary appreciably. Results indicated that milk components are in equilibrium and no appreciable change in a given component was seen with respect to another. This was found in both healthy and mastitic animals. However, milk components were found to vary with SCC content regardless of the range considered. This important finding demonstrates that 2-D correlation analysis may be used to track even subtle changes in milk composition in individual cows. To find out the right threshold for SCC when used for mastitis diagnosis at cow level, classification of milk samples was performed using soft independent modeling of class analogy (SIMCA) and different spectral data pretreatment. Two levels of SCC - 200 000 cells/$m\ell$ and 300 000 cells/$m\ell$, respectively, were set up and compared as thresholds to discriminate between healthy and mastitic cows. The best detection accuracy was found with 200 000 cells/$m\ell$ as threshold for mastitis and smoothed absorbance data: - 98% of the milk samples in the calibration set and 87% of the samples in the independent test set were correctly classified. When the spectral information was studied it was found that the successful mastitis diagnosis was based on reviling the spectral changes related to the corresponding changes in milk composition. NIRS combined with different ways of spectral data ruining can provide faster and nondestructive alternative to current methods for mastitis diagnosis and a new inside into disease understanding at molecular level.

목 적: 인간 배아줄기세포는 재생 의학이나 조직공학에 있어서 큰 잠재적인 능력을 가지고 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이들은 다양한 growth factors 처리나 유전자 발현을 변화시켜 특정 세포로 유도 분화 및 분리가 가능하지만 그 효율성은 아직까지 낮은 상태이다. 본 연구에서는 인간 배아줄기세포로부터 비특이적으로 분화된 세포들을 특정 세포 표면 항체를 이용한 magnetic cell sorting (MACS) 방법으로 분리, 배양하여 그들의 특성을 살펴보았다. 연구방법: 미분화 배아줄기세포주(Miz-hESC4)를 물리적인 방법으로 계대 배양하였으며, 부유 배양법으로 배아체 형성을 유도하였다. 배아체의 자발적인 분화를 위해 DMEM에 10% FBS를 첨가하여 2주 동안 배양하였다. 이렇게 분화된 세포들을 CD34, human epithelial antigen (HEA), human fibroblast (HFB)에 대한 항체를 이용한 MACS system으로 각각의 항체에 대한 양성 또는 음성 세포를 분리하였다. 이러한 MACS 분리 세포를 4주 동안 배양하면서 형태적인 변화를 관찰하고 특이 유전자의 발현 양상을 분석하였다. 결 과: 분리 배양한 CD34 양성 세포들은 배양 초기에는 둥근 형태를 나타내다가 배양 후기에는 작은 다각형의 형태로 관찰되었으며, HEA 양성 세포들은 큰 다각형의 형태를 나타내었고, HFB 양성 세포들은 전형적인 방추체 형태로 관찰되었다. 특이 유전자에 대한 RT-PCR 결과에서, CD34 양성 세포들과 HFB양성 세포들에서는 내배엽과 중배엽 관련 유전자의 발현하는 것을 확인할 수 있었고, HEA 양성 세포들에서는 외배엽 관련 유전자인 NESTIN과 NF68KD의 발현을 관찰할 수 있었다. 배양기간이 경과함에 따라 CD34 양성 세포의 특이 유전자 발현 양상이 변화되었다. 결 론: 이상의 결과는 비특이적으로 분화된 인간 배아줄기세포로부터 특이 세포를 MACS 방법을 이용하여 성공적으로 분리할 수 있음을 보여주었다. 따라서, MACS 방법과 특이 세포에 대한 항체는 인간 배아줄기세포의 유도 분화와 특이 세포의 분리에 매우 유용할 것으로 생각된다.

Asia-Pacific Space Cooperation Organization (APSCO) is the only intergovernmental space cooperation organization in Asia. Since its establishment to date, eight countries have signed the convention and become member states. South Korea participated actively in the preparatory phase of creating the organization, and one conference organized by AP-MCSTA which is the predecessor of APSCO was held in South Korea. However, after the APSCO Convention was opened for signature in 2005 to date, South Korea does not ratify the Convention and become a member. The rapid development of space commercialization and privatization, as well as the fastest growing commercial space market in Asia, provides opportunities for Asian countries to cooperate with each other in relevant space fields. And to participate in the existing cooperation framework (e.g., the APSCO) by the Asian space countries (e.g., South Korea) could be a proper choice. Even if the essential cooperation in particular space fields is challenging, joint space programs among different Asian countries for dealing with the common events can be initiated at the first steps. Since APSCO has learned the successful legal arrangements from ESA, the legal measures established by its Convention are believed to be qualified to ensure the achievement of benefits of different member states. For example, the regulation of the "fair return" principle confirms that the return of interests from the relevant programs is in proportion to the member's investment in the programs. Moreover, the distinguish of basic and optional activities intends to authorize the freedom of the members to choose programs to participate. And for the voting procedure, the acceptance of the "consensus" by the Council is in favor of protecting the member's interest when making decisions. However, political factors that are potential to block the participation of South Korea in APSCO are difficult to be ignored. A recent event is an announcement of deploying THAAD by South Korea, which causes tension between South Korea and China. The cooperation between these two states in space activities will be influenced. A long-standing barrier is that China acts as a non-member of the main international export control mechanism, i.e., the MTCR. The U.S takes this fact as the main reason to prevent South Korea to cooperate with China in developing space programs. Although the political factors that will block the participation of South Korea in APSCO are not easy to removed shortly, legal measures can be taken to reduce the political influence. More specifically, APSCO is recommended to ensure the achievement of commercial interests of different cooperation programs by regulating precisely the implementation of the "fair return" principle. Furthermore, APSCO is also suggested to contribute to managing the common regional events by sharing satellite data. And it is anticipated that these measures can effectively response the requirements of the rapid development of space commercialization and the increasing common needs of Asia, thereby to provide a platform for the further cooperation. In addition, in order to directly reduce the political influence, two legal measures are necessary to be taken: Firstly, to clarify the rights and responsibilities of the host state (i.e., China) as providing assistance, coordination and services to the management of the Organization to release the worries of the other member states that the host state will control the Organization's activities. And secondly, to illustrate that the cooperation in APSCO is for the non-military purpose (a narrow sense of "peaceful purpose") to reduce the political concerns. Regional cooperation in Asia regarding space affairs is considered to be a general trend in the future, so if the participation of South Korea in APSCO can be finally proved to be feasible, there will be an opportunity to discuss the creation of a comprehensive institutionalized framework for space cooperation in Asia.

본 연구는 기업의 채용선호도는 창업경험자와 일반 구직자 간의 차이 없이 입사가 이루어질 수 있을지에 대한 의문에서 시작하게 되었다. 따라서 연구의 목적은 첫째 구직자에 대한 기업의 채용선호도에 영향을 미치는 창업 관련 요인을 확인하고. 둘째 일반 구직자와 창업경험이 있는 구직자 간의 창업 관련 요인의 차이를 분석하고. 셋째 창업경험 구직자와 일반 구직자 간의 채용선호도 차이를 보기 위함이다. 연구모형의 독립변수는 기업가정신, 창업동기, 구직자특성으로 하고 종속변수로는 채용선호도로 설정하였으며, 조절변수로는 구직자 구분(창업경험자 vs 일반구직자)으로 제시하였다. 본 연구의 대상은 설립 연도 5년 이상의 기업 100개, 설립년수 5년 미만의 신생기업 100개의 인사담당자이며 설문지는 총 두 종류로 배포되어 최종적으로 101명, 일반 구직자 88명 총 189명의 응답자료를 분석에 활용하였다. 연구결과는 첫째 창업경험자와 일반구직자 모두를 대상으로 다중회귀분석을 실시한 결과, 기업가정신만이 채용선호도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 구직자 구분의 조절효과는 창업동기와 채용선호도 간의 관계에서만 발견되었다. 셋째, 창업경험자를 기준으로 한 다중회귀분석 결과는 창업동기와 채용선호도와 창업자 특성과 채용선호도의 관계가 통계적으로 유의하게 나타났다. 반면 창업자 특성과 채용선호도는 기각되었다. 넷째, 일반구직자를 기준으로 한 연구결과에서는 구직동기가 오히려 채용선호도를 떨어뜨리는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 한계는 적은 표본과 다양한 업종과 전통적 기업과 벤처기업의 인식차이 결과는 제시하지 못하였다. 또한, 창업경험자에 대해 명확한 정의를 하지 않았다는 점이다. 하지만 창업경험자가 창업을 접고 자신의 진로를 취업으로 전환하였을 때 어떠한 준비를 하면 되는지에 대하 시사점과 기업가정신의 중요성과 일반 구직자들도 기업이 선호하는 채용선호도 무엇인지 정확히 인지하고 성공적인 취업을 준비할 수 있게 도움을 주고 앞으로의 창업 활성화의 방향에 시사점을 제시한 데 의의가 있다고 할 수 있다.
