Purpose: The purpose of this study was to validate Quality of Life Index-Cancer (Q.L.I.-C) developed by Ferrans (1990) among Korean cancer patients. Method: This study design was exploratory factor analysis methodology. Q.L.I.-C was translated into Korean and reverse-translated into English. The subjects were 357 Korean patients with various cancers. Data were collected by questionnaires from May to August, 2000 and was analyzed by descriptive statistics, Principal Component Analysis for construct validity and Cronbach's alpha coefficient for reliability. Result: The range of factor loadings was .446～.841. The explained variance from the 5 extracted factors was 63.7% of the total variance. The first factor 'family' was 35.5%, and 'health & physical functioning', 'psychological', 'spiritual', and 'economic' factors were 11.5%, 6.9%, 5.6%, and 4.2% respectively. Because of cultural difference between Americans and Koreans, certain items such as sexuality, job status, and education were deleted from the extraction of factors in this study. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient was .9253 among the 28 items. Conclusion: Q.L.I.-C could be applied in measuring quality of life of Korean cancer patients. It also recommend to do further studiesfor validation of Q.L.I.-C American and Korean versions relating to cultural differences.

Background: In the present study, we established an HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography)-analysis method for the determination of marker compounds as a part of the material standardization for the development of health-functional foods from Salvia plebeia R. Br. extract. Methods and Results: The quantitative determination method of hispidulin as a marker compound was optimized by HPLC analysis using a YMC hydrosphere C18 column with a gradient elution system. This method was validated using specificity, linearity, accuracy, and precision tests. It showed a high linearity in the calibration curve with a coefficient of correlation ($r^2$) of 0.999995. The method was fully validated, and was sensitive, with the limit of detection (LOD) at $0.09{\mu}g{\cdot}m{\ell}^{-1}$ and limit of quantification (LOQ) at $0.27{\mu}g{\cdot}m{\ell}^{-1}$. The relative standard deviation (RSD) values of the data from intra- and inter-day precision were 0.05 - 0.22% and 0.32 - 0.42%, respectively, and the intra- and inter-day accuracy of hispidulin were 99.5 - 102.3% and 98.8 - 101.5%, respectively. The average content of hispidulin in Salvia plebeia R. Br. extract was $3.945mg{\cdot}g^{-1}$ (0.39%). Conclusions: These results suggest that the developed HPLC method is very efficient, and that it could contribute to the quality control of Salvia plebeia R. Br. extracts as a functional ingredient in health functional foods.

In this study, an improved method for the quantitative analysis of ginkgolic acids (GAs) in Ginkgo biloba leaf extract was developed. The samples were extracted with a mixture of chloroform and 50 % ethanol, after which the chloroform extract was dried and reconstituted in methanol. GAs with 13:0, 15:1, and 17:1 in the extract were successfully separated within 40 min and determined with high throughput performance using an online column-switching HPLC method using an SP column C8 SG80 ($4.6{\times}150mm$, $5{\mu}m$) and a Cadenza 5CD C18 column ($4.6{\times}150mm$, $3{\mu}m$). The developed HPLC method was validated for Ginkgo biloba leaf extract. The validation parameters were specificity, linearity, precision, accuracy, and limits of detection and quantitation (LODs and LOQs, respectively). It was found that all of the calibration curves showed good linearity ($r^2$ > 0.9993) within the tested ranges. The LODs and LOQs were all lower than $0.04{\mu}g/mL$. The established method was found to be simple, rapid, and high throughput for the quantitative analysis of GAs in ten commercial Ginkgo biloba leaf extract and dietary supplements. The samples were also analyzed in LC-electrospray ionization (ESI) tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) - multiple-ion reaction monitoring (MRM) mode to confirm the identification results that were obtained by the column switching HPLC-DAD method. The developed method is considered to be suitable for the routine quality control and safety assurance of Ginkgo biloba leaf extract.

본 연구는 KOMPSAT-3 위성의 방사학적 품질 평가를 위해 다중분광 및 초분광 센서을 사용하여 복사학적 교차 검증을 수행하였다. PICS site 에서 촬영된 EO-1 Hyperion과 Landsat-8 OLI 센서의 영상을 이용하였고, 서로 다른 특성을 지닌 토지 피복으로 구성된 2개 지역을 선정하여 항공 초분광 센서와 대기상층 반사도 기반 교차 검증을 수행하였다. EO-1 Hyperion, CASI-1500과의 대기상층 반사도를 비교한 결과, 전체적으로 약 4 % 이내의 차이를 보였다. 이는 일반적으로 타 위성과의 비교를 통한 반사도 차이가 5 % 내에 들어올 경우 방사학적 품질기준에 적합하다고 판단된다. Landsat-8 센서와의 대기상층 반사도를 비교한 결과 Blue, Green, Red밴드는 약 3% 내외의 반사도 차이를 보였으나, NIR band에서 Landsat-8에 비해 상대적으로 낮게 나타났다. 이는 NIR 밴드에서 두 센서간 밴드대역폭의차이가 존재하고, KOMPSAT-3 센서의 경우 수증기에 의한 흡수가 강하게 나타나는 940nm 부근도 밴드대역폭이 포함되고 있기 때문에 상대적으로 낮은 반사도를 보이는 것으로 판단되며, 이를 극복하기 위해 Spectral Bandwidth Adjustment Factor (SBAF)와 같은 rescale method를 적용한 보다 세밀한 분석이 시도될 필요가 있다.

과일 나무의 생육을 평가하는 중요한 지표인 엽록소 함량을 추정하는데 비교적 많은 노동력의 투입이 요구되고 오랜 시간이 소요되는 기존의 파괴 조사 대신 비파괴적 조사 방식인 원격탐사기술을 적용하기 위한 연구가 시도되고 있다. 이 연구에서는 2년(2021, 2022) 간 무인기 기반의 초분광 영상을 이용하여 배나무 잎의 엽록소 함량을 비파괴적으로 추정하는 연구를 수행하였다. 영상 처리로 추출된 배나무 캐노피(canopy)의 단일 band 반사율은 시간 변화에 따라 불안정한 복사 효과를 최소화하기 위해 밴드비화(band rationing) 되었다. 밴드비(band ratios)를 입력 변수로 머신러닝 알고리즘인 elastic-net, k-nearest neighbors (KNN)과 support vector machine을 사용하여 추정(calibration, validation) 모델들을 개발하였다. Full band ratios 기반 추정 모델들의 성능과 비교하여 계산 비용 절감과 재현성 향상에 유리한 key band ratios를 선정하였다. 결과적으로 모든 머신러닝 모델에서 full band ratios를 이용한 calibration에 coefficient of determination (R²)≥0.67, root mean squared error (RMSE)≤1.22 ㎍/cm², relative error (RE)≤17.9%)와 validation에 R²≥0.56, RMSE≤1.41 ㎍/cm², RE≤20.7% 성능을 비교하였을 때, key band ratios 네 개가 선정되었다. 머신러닝 모델들 사이에 validation 성능에는 비교적 큰 차이가 없어 calibration 성능이 가장 높았던 KNN 모델을 기준으로 삼았으며, 그 key band ratios는 710/714, 718/722, 754/758, 758/762 nm가 선정되었다. Calibration에서 R²=0.80, RMSE=0.94 ㎍/cm², RE=13.9%와 validation에서 R²=0.57, RMSE=1.40 ㎍/cm², RE=20.5%를 나타내었다. Validation의 기준으로 한 성능 결과는 배나무 잎 엽록소 함량을 추정하기에 충분하지 않았지만, 앞으로의 연구에 기준이 될 key band ratios를 선정했다는 것에 의미가 있다. 추후 연구에서는 추정 성능을 향상하기 위해 지속적으로 추가 데이터세트를 확보하여 선정된 key band ratios의 신뢰성 검증과 함께 실제 과원에 재현 가능한 추정 모델로 고도화할 필요가 있다.

An effective analytical method of gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) was developed for the rapid determination of essential oils in the crude extract of Acorus species (Acorus gramineus, Acorus tatarinowii, and Acorus calamus). Major phenypropanoids (${\beta}$,${\alpha}$-asarone isomers, euasarone, and methyleugenol) and ${\beta}$-caryophyllene in Acorus species were used as marker compounds and determined for the quality control of herbal medicines. To extract marker compounds, various extraction techniques such as solvent immersion, mechanical shaking, and sonication were compared, and the greatest efficiency was observed with sonication extraction using petroleum ether. The dynamic range of the GC/MS method depended on the specific analyte; acceptable quantification was obtained between 10 and 2000 ${\mu}g/mL$ for ${\beta}$-asarone, 10 and 500 ${\mu}g/mL$ for ${\alpha}$-asarone, 10 and 200 ${\mu}g/mL$ for methyleugenol, and between 5 and 100 ${\mu}g/mL$ for ${\beta}$-caryophyllene. The method was deemed satisfactory by inter- and intra-day validation and exhibited both high accuracy and precision, with a relative standard deviation < 10%. Overall limits of detection were approximately 0.34-0.83 ${\mu}g/mL$, with a standard deviation (${\sigma}$)-to-calibration slope (s) ratio (${\sigma}$/s) of 3. The limit of quantitation in our experiments was approximately 1.13-3.20 ${\mu}g/mL$ at a ${\sigma}$/s of 10. On the basement of method validation, 20 samples of Acorus species collected from markets in Korea were monitored for the quality control. In addition, principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) were performed on the analytical data of 20 different Acorus species samples in order to classify samples that were collected from different regions.

24-hour recall is the dietary assessment method most frequently used to evaluate dietary intake; however, accuracy is an issue when using this method, especially in large-scale studies. The purpose of this study was to assess the validity of dietary intake estimation using one serving size. Estimates of energy and nutrients taken in over a 24-hr period based on actual intake amount (24HRAI) and based on estimates of one serving size (24HRSS) were compared. Data were analyzed using a paired t-test, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and a cross-classification method. In male subjects, intake levels of energy, fat, vitamin C, vitamin $B_1$, Zn, and total food measured using 24HRAI were significantly higher than those measured using 24HRSS. In female subjects, intake of carbohydrates, fiber, fat, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin B complexes, various minerals, and total food measured using 24HRAI were significantly lower than those measured using 24HRSS. Energy-adjusted Pearson's correlation coefficients revealed that intake of all nutrients showed a significant positive relationship between the two measurement methods in both males and females. Cross-classification analysis revealed that 50.5~67.6% of women and 40.3~71% of men were classified in the same quartile of intake of each nutrient when comparing data from 24HRAI and 24HRSS. We conclude that using one serving size in 24-hr recall analysis was valid and therefore may be used in studies to assess food consumption in the general adult population. Also, this method can be used to classify energy and nutrient intake into quartile, which is useful in examining the association between diet and chronic diseases.

A simple HPLC method with ultraviolet detection of nicardipine in human plasma was developed and validated. After drug extraction with solid phase extraction (SPE) method, chromatographic separation of nicardipine in plasma was achieved at $30^{\circ}C$ with a $C_{18}$ column and acetonitrile-0.02% phosphate buffer mixture (with 0.02% triethylamine, final pH 7.0), as mobile phase. Quantitative determination was performed by ultraviolet detection at 254 nm. The method was specific and validated with a limit of quantification of 5 ng/mL. The intra- and inter-day precision and accuracy were acceptable for all quality control samples including the lower limit of quantification. The applicability of the method was demonstrated by analysis of plasma after oral administration of a single 40 mg dose to 8 healthy subjects. From the plasma nicardipine concentration versus time curves, the mean $AUC_{t}$, was $134.04{\pm}59.72\;ng\;hr/mL$ and $C_{max}$ of $108.65{\pm}69.17\;ng/mL$ reached 1.5 hr after administration. The mean biological half-life of nicardipine was $3.93{\pm}0.82\;hr$. Based on the results, this simple and validated assay method could readily be used in any pharmacokinetic or bioequivalence studies using human.

This paper deal with the validation of correction method of ice strength and thickness to the sea trial condition based on the ice model test results. It is very difficult to conduct the model test corresponding to the sea trial condition exactly. In addition, the available sea trial data is not sufficient for the validation of correction method. In the present study, the model test results of Terry-Fox ice breker have been used to compare the corrected results of sea trial test by varying its thickness and strength of model ice. The HSVA and ITTC methods have been applied to the present comparisions and the required power has been also validated by using the HSVA method. There are rather good agreement between the sea trial result and model test corrected by the HSVA and ITTC method. The more comparisons are expected to be carried out in near future.
