Korea has studied FTA over 20 years since FTA with Chile. More than 3,000 Articles have been published in journal so far. Thus, this study aims to present the direction that should be taken by Korean FTA study by using Meta-Analysis for FTA study which has been carried on so far. Many researchers publish several articles each year, showing high quotation index and H-index. However, Korean FTA study lacks network with overseas researchers and fusion study with other sciences. 65.4% of Korean FTA study is carried on Independent research and 91.1% of them, in joint research by fewer than 2 persons. Further, the Subject of FTA study is not diverse and too uniform. Out of total studies, 24.3% of them are related to rules of origin and 15.3% of them, to China, showing that theme of study is quite partially concentrated. This is large difference with overseas FTA study. Study on rules of origin is only 1.5% in overseas. Korean FTA study needs to diversify subjects of study and to balance between academic aspect & practical aspect. When it comes to study methodology empirical analysis assumed large portion in both Korea and overseas countries. Empirical analysis assumes 18.3% in Korea and 47.3% in overseas, both of which are quite high. However, qualitative study such as FGI/AHP, in-depth interview, case analysis is quite rare in Korean FTA study. Partial concentration of countries for study subject needs to be rectified also. In Korea, countries for FTA study is China 15.3%, EU 10.0%, USA 6.3%. In overseas, China assumes only 3.7% of study subject. It is required for Korean FTA study to extend study subjects & study area by forming global study network and to extend qualitative study with microscopic study.

The transmittance of bare glass was enhanced up to about 20% by coating it with a PMMA (Poly Methyl Meta Acrylate) film mixed with silica gel. This lowrefractive- index film greatly reduces total reflection inevitable for bare glass, and thus will be useful for increasing the coupling-out efficiency of OLED.

This study aimed to determine the effects of humectants on moisture content, water activity, tenderness, color, microbiological analysis, protein denaturation, and oxidation of jerky. A thorough search for papers published in scientific journals that examined the impacts of humectants on jerky was carried out using Web of Science, Google Scholar, PubMed, and Science Direct. Only 14 studies matched inclusion requirements. They were used in the meta-analysis to synthesise quantitative findings. In the current investigation, jerky produced with beef, poultry, goat, or pork was used. The standardised mean difference (SMD) between treatments with humectants and controls was examined to investigate the effects of humectants using random-effects models. Heterogeneity was investigated using meta-regression. A subgroup analysis was carried out for significant factors. Results revealed that the addition of humectants had no significant impact on water activity, pH, fat, ash, CIE L^*, or CIE a^* (p>0.05). However, humectant addition significantly increased moisture (SMD=1.28, p<0.05), CIE b^* (SMD=1.67, p<0.05), and overall acceptability (SMD=1.73, p<0.05). It significantly decreased metmyoglobin (SMD=-0.96, p<0.05), shear force (SMD=-0.84, p<0.05), and protein (SMD=-1.61, p<0.05). However, it was difficult to get a firm conclusion about how humectants affected the myofibrillar fragmentation index, total plate count, and 2-thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances because there were fewer than ten studies. To sum up, the proper use of humectants in jerky demands careful attention to both type and quantity, needing a delicate balancing act with other contributing factors.

Stem cells transplantation (SCT) is known as a newfound strategy for multiple sclerosis (MS) treatment. Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) contain various regenerative features. Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is a laboratory model of MS. This meta-analysis study was conducted to assess the overall therapeutic effects of hUCMSCs on reduction of clinical score (CS) and restoration of active movement in EAE-induced animals. For comprehensive searching (in various English and Persian databases until May 1, 2024), the main keywords of "Experimental Autoimmune Encephalomyelitis", "Multiple Sclerosis", "Human", "Umbilical Cord", "Mesenchymal", and "Stem Cell" were hired. Collected data were transferred to the citation manager software (EndNote x8) and duplicate papers were merged. Primary and secondary screenings were applied (according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria) and eligible studies were prepared for data collection. CS of two phases of peak and recovery of EAE were extracted as the difference in means and various analyses including heterogeneity, publication bias, funnel plot, and sensitivity index were reported. Meta-analysis was applied by CMA software (v.2), P<0.05 was considered a significant level, and the confidence interval (CI) was determined 95% (95% CI). Six eligible high-quality (approved by ARRIVE checklist) papers were gathered. The difference in means of peak and recovery phases were -0.775 (-1.325 to -0.225; P=0.006; I²=90.417%) and -1.230 (-1.759 to -0.700; P<0.001; I²=93.402%), respectively. The overall therapeutic effects of SCT of hUCMSCs on the EAE cases was -1.011 (95% CI=-1.392 to -0.629; P=0.001). hUCMSCs transplantation through the intravenous route to the animal MS model (EAE) seems a considerably effective procedure for the alleviation of motor defects in both phases of peak and recovery.

The impact of anatomic resection (AR) as compared to non-anatomic resection (NAR) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) as a factor for preventing intra-hepatic and local recurrence after the initial surgical procedure remains controversial. A systematic review and meta-analysis of nonrandomized trials comparing anatomic resection with non-anatomic resection for HCC published from 1990 to 2010 in PubMed and Medline, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Science Citation Index were therefore performed. Intra-hepatic recurrence, including early and late, and local recurrence were considered as primary outcomes. As secondary outcomes, 5 year survival and 5 year disease-free survival were considered. Pooled effects were calculated utilizing either fixed effects or random effects models. Eleven non-randomized studies including 1,576 patients were identified and analyzed, with 810 patients in the AR group and 766 in the NAR group. Patients in the AR group were characterized by lower prevalence of cirrhosis, more favorable hepatic function, and larger tumor size and higher prevalence of macrovascular invasion compared with patients in the NAR group. Anatomic resection significantly reduced the risks of local recurrence and achieved a better 5 years disease-free survival. Also, anatomic resection was marginally effective for decreasing the early intra-hepatic recurrence. However, it was not advantageous in preventing late intra-hepatic recurrence compared with non-anatomic resection. No differences were found between AR and NAR with respect to postoperative morbidity, mortality, and hospitalization. Anatomic resection can be recommended as superior to non-anatomic resection in terms of reducing the risks of local recurrence, early intra-hepatic recurrence and achieving a better 5 year disease-free survival in HCC patients.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The scientific evidence of a sodium-obesity association is limited by sodium intake assessments. Our specific aim is to synthesize the association between dietary sodium intake and obesity across the sodium intake assessments as evidenced by systematic reviews in adults. SUBJECTS/METHODS: A systematic search identified systematic reviews comparing the association of dietary sodium intakes with obesity-related outcomes such as body mass index (BMI), body weight, waist circumference, and risk of (abdominal) obesity. We searched PubMed on October 24, 2022. To assess the Risk of Bias in Systematic Reviews (ROBIS), we employed the ROBIS tool. RESULTS: This review included 3 systematic reviews, consisting of 39 unique observational studies (35 cross-sectional studies and 4 longitudinal studies) and 15 randomized controlled trials (RCTs). We found consistently positive associations between dietary sodium intake and obesity-related outcomes in cross-sectional studies. Studies that used 24-h urine collection indicated a greater BMI for those with higher sodium intake (mean difference = 2.27 kg/m²; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.59-2.51; P < 0.001; I² = 77%) compared to studies that used spot urine (mean difference = 1.34 kg/m²; 95% CI, 1.13-1.55; P < 0.001; I² = 95%) and dietary methods (mean difference = 0.85 kg/m²; 95% CI, 0.1-1.51; P < 0.05; I² = 95%). CONCLUSIONS: Quantitative synthesis of the systematic reviews has shown that cross-sectional associations between dietary sodium intake and obesity outcomes were substantially different across the sodium intake assessments. We need more high-quality prospective cohort studies and RCTs using 24-h urine collection to examine the causal effects of sodium intake on obesity.

Background: Many insectivorous bats have flexible diets, and the difference in prey item consumption among species is one of the key mechanisms that allows for the avoidance of interspecies competition and promotes coexistence within a microhabitat. In Korea, of the 24 bat species that are known to be distributed, eight insectivorous bats use forest areas as both roosting and foraging sites. Here, we aimed to understand the resource partitioning and coexistence strategies between two bat species, Myotis ikonnikovi and Plecotus ognevi, cohabiting the Mt. Jumbong forests, by comparing the differences in dietary consumption based on habitat utilization. Results: Upon examining their dietary composition using the DNA meta-barcoding approach, we identified 403 prey items (amplicon sequence variants). A greater prey diversity including Lepidoptera, Diptera, Coleoptera, and Ephemeroptera, was detected from M. ikonnikovi, whereas most prey items identified from P. ognevi belonged to Lepidoptera. The diversity index of prey items was higher for M. ikonnikovi (H': 5.67, D: 0.995) than that for P. ognevi (H': 4.31, D: 0.985). Pianka's index value was 0.207, indicating little overlap in the dietary composition of these bat species. Our results suggest that M. ikonnikovi has a wider diet composition than P. ognevi. Conclusions: Based on the dietary analysis results, our results suggests the possibility of differences in foraging site preferences or microhabitat utilization between two bat species cohabiting the Mt. Jumbong. In addition, these differences may represent one of the important mechanism in reducing interspecific competition and enabling coexistence between the two bat species. We expected that our results will be valuable for understanding resource partitioning and the coexistence of bats inhabiting the Korean forests.

먹는샘물 개발지역에서의 환경 영향 평가를 위한 수리지구화학의 기초 자료를 국내 먹는샘물 개발지역에 존재하는 암석, 토양 및 자연수 시료를 예로 하여 제시하였다. 암석에 대해서는 현미경 분석을 실시하였고, 토양 및 자연수 시료에 대해서는 화학 분석을 실시하였다. 토양은 분해 방법별로 중금속 원소들의 함량 비교를 하였으며 오염지수를 통해 오염 영향을 평가하였다. 또한 자연수 시료들을 대상으로 기반암 및 심도에 따른 수리지구화학적 특성과 자연수의 화학적 진화, 물-암석 반응에 대하여 고찰하였다. 대수층을 구성하는 암석을 화강암질암과 변성퇴적암류, 그리고 퇴적암류로 구분하였으며 이들 기반암에서 비롯된 중금속의 토양과 자연수의 오염 현상은 없는 것으로 판단되었다. 연구 지역의 토양은 HNO$_3$+HClO$_4$의 혼합산을 이용한 방법과 0.1 N HCl을 사용한 방법 모두에서 낮은 중금속 함량을 보여 자연적인 부화 현상이나 인위적 오염을 받지 않은 토양임을 알 수 있었다. 특히 0.1 N HCl을 사용하여 중금속 중 가용성 부분을 추출해 낸 결과 Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd 및 Cr 등 중금속 원소의 함량은 상당히 낮은 것을 확인할 수 있었으며 따라서 식물과 수계를 통한 오염의 영향은 매우 낮다고 할 수 있다. 오염지수를 통해 여러 원들의 복합적인 오염 양상을 고려하여 오염도를 산출한 결과 역시 연구 지역 토양은 오염지수가 0.03~0.47로 중금속에 의한 오염이 진행되지 않고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 심부지하수 시료를 대상으로 암종별 특징을 살펴보았을 때 화강암질암의 지하수 시료는 $Ca^{2＋}$-HCO$_3$$^{-}$의 유형을 거쳐 $Na^{＋}$-HCO$_3$$^{-}$ 유형까지 진화하였으나 변성퇴적암과 퇴적암내의 지하수 시료는 $Ca^{2＋}$-HCO$_3$$^{-}$의 유형에 머물러 있다. 이는 구성 광물 중 사장석의 용해가 화강암질암내 지하수의 특성을 조절하고 있는 반면 변성퇴적암과 퇴적암내 지하수 시료에서는 방해석의 용해만이 주된 반응으로 작용하고 있기 때문이다. 또한 심도별 특징을 살펴보았을 때 지표수에서 심부지하수로 이동하면서 수소이온농도, 전기전도도 및 대부분의 용존이온 함량은 증가하고 있다. 한편 일부 천부지하수시료에서는 NO$_3$$^{-}$ , Cl$^{-}$ 및 $K^{＋}$의 함량 및 K/Na의 비가 높게 나타나는 것으로 보아 농업활동으로 인한 오염의 영향을 받은 것으로 판단된다. 열역학적 고찰을 통해 볼 때 대부분의 자연수는 kaolinite 및 smectite 형성환경에 위치하고 있음을 알 수 있으며 질량보존을 기초로 한 반응모델을 설정한 결과, 용존이온의 거동 및 열역학적 연구 결과와 부합하는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.
