Protein-Protein Interactions (PPIs) play essential roles in diverse biological processes and their misregulations are associated with a wide range of diseases. Especially, the growing attention to PPIs as a new class of therapeutic target is increasing the need for an efficient method of cell-based PPI analysis. Thus, we newly developed a robust PPI assay (SeePPI) based on the co-translocation of interacting proteins to the discrete subcellular compartment 'processing body' (p-body) inside living cells, enabling a facile analysis of PPI by the enriched fluorescent signal. The feasibility and strength of SeePPI (${\underline{S}}ignal$ ${\underline{e}}nhancement$ ${\underline{e}}xclusively$ on ${\underline{P}}-body$ for ${\underline{P}}rotein-protein$ ${\underline{I}}nteraction$) assay was firmly demonstrated with FKBP12/FRB interaction induced by rapamycin within seconds in real-time analysis of living cells, indicating its recapitulation of physiological PPI dynamics. In addition, we applied p53/MDM2 interaction and its dissociation by Nutlin-3 to SeePPI assay and further confirmed that SeePPI was quantitative and well reflected the endogenous PPI. Our SeePPI assay will provide another useful tool to achieve an efficient analysis of PPIs and their modulators in cells.

경피적 대동맥 판막 치환술(TAVR) 후에는 인공 심박동기 삽입술(PPI)을 비롯한 TAVR 이후 합병증에 대한 철저한 관리가 필요하며 그에 따라 정확한 예측 모델에 대한 필요성이 점점 증가하고 있다. 본 연구는 기존의 이미지 의존적 방법론에서 벗어나 ECG 정보를 중심으로 예측하는 XGBoost 기반의 최적의 PPI 예측 모델을 개발했다. 이 모델은 심전도상의 특정 신호들인 DeltaPR, DeltaQRS 등을 주요 지표로 삼아, 환자의 전도 장애 및 PPI와의 연관성을 파악하며, 기존의 이미지와 ECG 데이터를 결합한 모델과 ECG 기반의 모델 보다 뛰어난 AUC 0.91 성능을 달성하였다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 모델은 두 병원의 데이터를 기반으로 최적의 PPI 예측 모델을 구현 및 검증하였으며, 검증 결과 ECG 데이터의 특성이 PPI 예측에 큰 영향을 미치며 95.28%의 높은 유사도를 보였다. 이로써 본 연구의 예측 모델이 다양한 병원 데이터에도 효과적으로 적용될 수 있음을 확인하였다. 최적의 머신러닝 알고리즘을 사용하여 PPI와 각 특성 간의 상관관계를 명확히 했으며, 고비용의 의료 이미지에 의존하지 않고 ECG 데이터를 사용하여 높은 정확도로 PPI를 예측할 수 있음을 입증하였다. 이는 의료 결정 과정에서 인간 개입의 의존도를 줄이며, 신뢰할 수 있고 실용적인 PPI 예측 모델 개발로의 중요한 진전을 의미한다.

공정제어에 있어서, 긴 시간지연은 시스템의 효과적인 제어성능을 기대하기 어렵기 때문에 공정의 모델을 이용한 스미스 예측기와 이를 이용한 PPI 제어기 등이 제안되었다. 그러나, 이들 제어기는 실 플랜트와 모델간에 존재하는 오차 때문에 실제 플랜트에서는 원하는 제어성능을 보장할 수 없다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 이러한 모델 불일치에 의해 발생되는 오차를 보상할 수 있도록 새로운 제어변수 추정전략을 제시하였다. 또한, 이러한 추정전략은 다양한 사례를 통하여 유용한 결과를 얻었다.

본 논문에서는 유전자 네트워크를 기반으로 유방암 환자의 예후를 예측하는 알고리듬을 제안한다. 유방암 환자의 마이크로어레이 데이터와 PPI(Protein-protein interaction)데이터를 이용하여 알고리듬의 분류자로 사용될 예후 특이 네트워크(Prognosis specific gene network)를 추출한다. PPI에 속한 모든 유전자 네트워크에 대하여 각각의 네트워크가 예후 좋음과 나쁨을 잘 구분하는지에 대한 점수를 피어슨 상관계수(Pearson's correlation coefficient)와 마이크로어레이 데이터를 이용하여 계산한다. 이들 중 가장 예후에 유의한 네트워크를 식별하고, 이 네트워크를 분류자로 사용하여 에스트로겐 수용체 음성 유방암 환자의 예후를 분류 분석 한다. 본 연구와 기존 연구의 알고리듬 정확도를 비교 분석 하기 위하여 독립 실험을 진행하고, 본 연구에서 제안된 알고리듬의 성능이 더 우수함을 보인다. 또한, Gene Ontology 데이터베이스를 활용하여 식별된 예후 특이 네트워크를 기능적으로 검증 한다.

Periodically polarity inverted (PPI) ZnO structures on (0001) Al2O3 substrates are demonstrated by plasmas assisted molecular beam epitaxy. The patterning and re-growth methods are used to realize the PPI ZnO by employing the polarity controlling method. For the in-situ polarity controlling of ZnO films, Cr-compound buffer layers are used.[1, 2] The region with the CrN intermediate layer and the region with the Cr2O3 and Al2O3 substrate were used to grow the Zn- and O-polar ZnO films, respectively. The growth behaviors with anisotropic properties of PPI ZnO heterostructures are investigated. The periodical polarity inversion is evaluated by contrast images of piezo-response microscopy. Structural and optical interface properties of PPI ZnO are investigated by the transmission electron microcopy (TEM) and micro photoluminescence ($\mu$-PL). The inversion domain boundaries (IDBs) between the Zn and the O-polar ZnO regions were clearly observed by TEM. Moreover, the investigation of spatially resolved local photoluminescence characteristics of PPI ZnO revealed stronger excitonic emission at the interfacial region with the IDBs compared to the Zn-polar or the O-polar ZnO region. The possible mechanisms will be discussed with the consideration of the atomic configuration, carrier life time, and geometrical effects. The successful realization of PPI structures with nanometer scale period indicates the possibility for the application to the photonic band-gap structures or waveguide fabrication. The details of application and results will be discussed.

Objectives: This study sought to investigate the association between the systemic intake of proton pump inhibitors (PPI) and the early failure of dental implants. Materials and Methods: A retrospective cohort study involving 1,918 dental implants in 592 patients (69 implants in 24 PPI users and 1,849 implants in 568 nonusers, respectively) was conducted. The effect of PPI intake on the osseointegration of dental implants was evaluated using patientand implant-level models. Results: Among 24 PPI users, two patients experienced implant failure, one of whom had three and the other of whom had one failed implant, respectively. Thus, the rate of failure for this population was 8.3%. Separately, 11 nonusers each experienced one implant failure, and the failure rate for these patients was 1.9%. Fisher's exact test revealed statistically significant differences between PPI users and nonusers at the implant level (P=0.002) but failed to show any significance at the patient level (P=0.094). The odds of implant failure were 4.60 times greater among PPI users versus nonusers. Dental implants that were placed in patients using PPIs were found to be 4.30 times more likely to fail prior to loading. Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that PPI intake may be associated with an increased risk of early dental implant failure.

Patient-physician interaction (PPI) is an important area in medical education, but in-depth discussions on the content of the outcome of patient-doctor education are rare. Therefore, in this study, we will systematically analyze the research on PPI education in Korea. In this study, papers searched with keywords related to PPI education from Korea's academic journal service were targeted according to a systematic literature analysis method. The scope of the study was to include papers published in academic journals that are candidates for Korea Citation Index registration, excluding dissertations, research reports, posters, conference presentations, books, and internet materials. The content included papers targeting medical education and medical school students was set as the range. As a result of the analysis, although communication between PPI has many positive effects in the PPI in medical education at medical schools, obstacles do occur, and various ways to overcome them were suggested. Therefore, although medical interview training between patients and doctors in medical schools is necessary, it was analyzed as being based on overseas research or lacking in specific content. The core of PPI education appears to be medical interviews, and it seems necessary to discuss whether empathy or patient-centered medical care are appropriate as the main principles of PPI education in Korea. Therefore, education on the patient-doctor relationship is an important element in medical humanities and medical humanities education, and it is expected that research and education on this will progress more actively.

This study investigated the high temperature oxidation behavior of Ni-22.4%Fe-22%Cr-6%Al (wt.%) porous metal. Two types of open porous metals with different pore sizes of 30 PPI and 40 PPI (pore per inch) were used. A 24-hour TGA test was conducted at three different temperatures of $900^{\circ}C$, $1000^{\circ}C$ and $1100^{\circ}C$. The results of the BET analysis revealed that the specific surface area increased as the pore size decreased from 30 PPI to 40 PPI. The oxidation resistance of porous metal decreased with decreasing pore size. As the temperature increased, the oxidation weight gain of the porous metal also increased. Porous metals mainly created oxides such as $Al_2O_3$, $Cr_2O_3$, $NiAl_2O_4$, and $NiCr_2O_4$. In the 40 PPI porous metal with small pore size and larger specific surface area, the depletion of stabilizing elements such as Al and Cr occurred more quickly during oxidation compared to the 30 PPI porous metal. Ni-Fe-Cr-Al porous metal's high-temperature oxidation micro-mechanism was also discussed.

Purpose: Recent investigations suggest that the antiplatelet effect of clopidogrel may be decreased when this medication is taken together with certain proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). However, there has been no study conducted in Korea regarding the clinical effect of clopidogrel-PPI interaction. This study targeted patients who received stents to investigate the effect of the concomitant use of clopidogrel and PPIs on the occurrence of adverse cardiovascular events in Korean patients. Methods: The patients who received a stent insertion at the Yeouido St. Mary's Hospital between January 2010 and April 2011 were included. The patients were divided into two groups, clopidogrel and clopidogrel + PPI, and followed for 12 months after the date of stent insertion using prescription history and medical records. The recurrence rates of the cardiovascular events among the two patient groups were statistically analyzed. Results: There was no difference between the two groups in the basic characteristics of the 157 patients in the clopidogrel group and the 62 patients in the clopidogrel+PPI group. Simple logistic regression showed a significantly higher rate of re-hospitalization in the clopidogrel+PPI group (OR=1.893, 95% CI 1.040-3.445, p=0.037). However, the results of the multivariate logistic regression of the variables found to have statistical significance by crosstabulation showed no significant difference in the rate of adverse cardiovascular events or re-hospitalization between the two groups. Conclusions: There was no significant difference between the clopidogrel and clopidogrel+PPI group among new patients with cardiovascular stents with respect to the occurrence of revascularization procedures, stent thrombosis, or chest pain, or with respect to the re-hospitalization rate for all cardiovascular events.
