Transposable elements (TEs) account for approximately 45% of the human genome. TEs have proliferated randomly and integrated into functional genes during hominoid radiation. They appear as right-handed B-DNA double helices and slightly elongated left-handed Z-DNAs. Human endogenous retrovirus (HERV) families are widely distributed in human chromosomes at a ratio of 8%. They contain a 5'-long terminal repeat (LTR)-gag-pol-env-3'-LTR structure. LTRs contain the U3 enhancer and promoter region, transcribed R region, and U5 region. LTRs can influence host gene expression by acting as regulatory elements. In this review, we describe the alternative promoters derived from LTR elements that overlap Z-DNA by comparing Z-hunt and DeepZ data for human functional genes. We also present evidence showing the regulatory activity of LTR elements containing Z-DNA in GSDML. Taken together, the regulatory activity of LTR elements with Z-DNA allows us to understand gene function in relation to various human diseases.

Purpose : The aims of this study was to identify changes mu rhythm according to familiarity with a stimulus in people with stroke. Methods : Seventeen right-handed participants were asked to observe 2 different stimulus; a non-familiarity stimulus condition (NFSC), and a familiarity stimulus condition (FSC). Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals from electrodes on the participant's scalp were recorded during action observation. The activation of the mirror neuron system was compaired between FSC and NFSC by a paired t-test. An independent t-test was used to compare the difference between right and left hemispheres for the activation of the mirror neuron system during action observation of performing a task with the right hand. Results : The result of paired t-test showed no significantly difference between NFSC and FSC in the activation of the mirror neuron system. The Result of independent t-test also showed no significantly difference in the activation of mirror neuron system between the right and left hemispheres. Conclusion : The familiarity with a stimulus had no signigicant effect on the activation of the mirror neuron system according to the familiarity and in either the right or left hemispheres in people with chronic stroke.

Objectives: Previous studies have shown that anger can lead to frontal lobe α (8-13 Hz) band asymmetry (FAA) in electroencephalogram (EEG), in accordance with motivational direction. This pilot study aimed to investigate the impact of acupuncture on FAA elicited by anger. Methods: Thirty-four right-handed participants scoring above 75 points on the Novaco Anger Scale were included. Baseline EEG signals were recorded for eight minutes using a 32-channel cap under comfortable conditions. Anger was induced through a nine-minute sequence of Articulated Thoughts in Simulated Situations (ATSS) task. Following that, participants received acupuncture at GB20 and GB21 for 10 minutes. Fast Fourier transform was employed for frequency analysis, and repeated measure ANOVA was conducted for statistical analysis. Results: The results revealed that participants exhibited significantly higher FAA (p = 0.026), particularly in the left hemisphere, after the ATSS task sequence compared to the baseline. During acupuncture treatment, the greater left-sided FAA was significantly reduced (p = 0.027) and reversed. Upon the cessation of acupuncture, FAA returned to a value between the baseline and the anger-evoked stage (p = 0.046). Conclusion: The EEG results of this study revealed that anger stimulation induced an increase in left-sided FAA, which was effectively alleviated by acupuncture. This led to an immediate restoration of FAA asymmetry induced by anger. These findings suggest the potential of acupuncture as a treatment option for reducing FAA associated with anger.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the Biomechanical elements by looking at the differences on the motions of the right and left spikes of right-handed offense volleyball players, using 3D image analysis and force platform. For that purpose, spike motions of six male university volleyball players were recorded three times each using two 16mm high speed cameras and the speed of recording was set at 60 frames/sec. The coordinated raw data was leveled as 6Hz using low pass filtering method and the calculation of 3D coordinates was done by using a DLT (Direct Linear Transformation) method. Also KWON 3D program was used to analyze the variables. Through the experiments and research, the following results were found: That is, in case of the right spike, the required time from the toss to the impact, which affected the success rate of offense showed as longer and on the take-off, the exact timing to touch the ball was longer because the pace between right and left feet was wider, and also after the jump, the distance between the feet indicated shorter, than the left. In addition, the degree of somersault and horizontal adduction of shoulder joint was smaller and the degree of medial rotation of shoulder joint showed bigger than the left, so it indicated that it was not centered on the body, but by the arm with an axis of shoulder using a swing motion. After the impact, the speed of the ball indicated slower compared to the left spike.

본 논문에서는 주파수 조절 범위의 감소 없이 위상 잡음을 줄이고 회로 크기를 최소화하기 위하여 혼합 우좌향 전송 선로 기반의 고조파 조절 회로를 이용한 새로운 전압 제어 발진기를 제안하였다. 위상 잡음은 2차와 3차 고조파에서 동시에 단락임피던스를 갖는 새로운 고조파 조절 회로에 의해 줄어들었다. 제안된 고조파 조절 회로는 혼합 우좌향 전송 선로의 주파수 오프셋과 위상 기울기에 의한 이중 대역 특성을 갖는 혼합 우좌향 전송 선로를 이용하여 설계되었다. 높은 Q 특성의 공진기는 위상 잡음을 줄이기 위하여 사용되어 왔지만, 주파수 조절 범위가 감소하는 문제를 갖고 있다. 하지만 제안된 전압 제어 발진기의 주파수 조절 범위는 위상 잡음이 높은 Q 특성의 공진기 없이 감소하였기 때문에 줄어들지 않았다. 또한, 일반적인 우향 전송 선로 대신 혼합 우좌향 전송 선로를 이용하는 것을 통하여 회로의 크기를 소형화 하였다. 전압 제어 발진기의 위상 잡음은 5.731 ~ 5.938 GHz의 주파수 조절 범위 내에서 100 kHz의 오프셋 주파수에서 -119.17 ~ -117.50 dBc/Hz이다.

Leptospira interrogans, the causative organism of leptospirosis, is characterized by a fine helical morphology, and the helix is almost always right-handed. However, one of the striking features of recent isolates of L. interrogans in Korea was the heterogeneity in their morphology. Even under optimal culture conditions($30^{\circ}C$, EMJH medium), rods, spiral forms with right or left-handed helices, and even spherical forms of L. interrogans were present. Although the literature notes the presence of left-handed helices, long rods, and spherical forms in cultures of L. interrogans isolates, little is known about the cause of this morphologic heterogeneity. In an attempt to answer this question, this study was initiated to examine the effects of culture conditions, especially temperature and medium, on the morphology of L. interrogans. Four temperatures($5^{\circ}C$, $15^{\circ}C$, $30^{\circ}C$, and $37^{\circ}C$) and two types of media(Fletcher and EMJH) were used; one strain from Korean isolates and L. interrogans serovar canicola obtained from the Pasteur Institute(Paris, France) were employed throughout the study. The findings are as follows: 1. The L. interrogans isolated in Korea(UM-19) had a larger cell diameter($0.25{\sim}0.30\;{\mu}m$: $0.10{\sim}0.15\;{\mu}m$), and helix diameter($0.10{\sim}0.60\;{\mu}m$: $0.10{\sim}0.15\;{\mu}m$) than that obtained from the Pasteur Institute, but they varied in their distances between the helices($0.31{\sim}1.00\;{\mu}m$: $0.50{\sim}0.70\;{\mu}m$). 2, When UM-19 was grown at $37^{\circ}C$ after months or longer preincubation at $5^{\circ}C$ or $15^{\circ}C$, the majority of the organisms were spiral forms; however, they became rods when subcultured at $30^{\circ}C$ or $37^{\circ}C$. No significant morphological differences were found between Fletcher and EMJH media. 3. When L. interrogans serovar canicola was subcultured more than ten times at $37^{\circ}C$, some of the organism lost their motility as well as the hooks at either one or both ends, but only in Fletcher medium. The number of variants increased with the frequency of subculturing. These findings suggested that L. interrogans strain (UM-19) is different, in their morphology, from that of the Pasteur Institute, and its various morphologies may represent stages of the life cycle and vary with incubation temperature.

본 연구는 시각적 등가성에 대한 한국인의 성향분석을 목적으로 수행되었다. 자연현상에서 흔히 조우할 수 있는 시각적 동등성에 우리가 동일한 가치를 부여할 수 있는지 없는지에 대해 일부 심리학자들의 유사연구를 참고로 하였고, 설문조사를 통해서 한국인의 성향을 조사하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같은 발견점을 가져다 주었다. - 일부 특수한 경우를 제외하고 시각적 등가성은 한국인에 있어서는 현실적으로 존재하기 어렵다. - 화면에서의 대각선은 오른쪽 아래에서 왼쪽 위방향보다 왼쪽 아래에서 오른쪽 위방향으로 보다 상승감을 느끼게 해준다는 지적은 사실로 드러났다. - 화면의 오른쪽이 왼쪽보다 무거워보인다는 지적은 우리 나라 사람들에게 있어서는 확인되지 않았거나 무시할만한 정도 이내이다. - 자연현상의 묘사나 이에 대한 관찰자의 시각물 수용에서, 사용자 인터페이스가 작용하는 것으로 드러났다. 이 경우 오른손 듣기가 대부분인 한국인에 있어서는 이러한 현상을 자연스러운 것으로 받아들이는 것이 좋다. - 한국인의 좌측 우위사상에서 오는 전래적인 시각적 표현은 지금도 우리 문화 속에 녹아 있다. 이상의 내용을 한 마디로 정리한다면, 한국인에 있어서 시각적 등가성은 대체적으로 실존하지 않는다는 점이며, 여러 가지 측면에서 오른쪽보다는 왼쪽에 경도되는 일반적인 성향을 한국인이 가지고 있다는 점이 발견되었다.

Objective: This study investigated the effect of pelvic tiltng according to the paralytic side on gait in stroke patients during a 10 m functional movement timed up and go (TUG) test. Method: In this study, gait parameters were measured using a gait analyzer for 20 stroke patients and their gait was analyzed during a 10 m TUG test. For statistical analysis, an independent sample t-test were performed for age, height, and weight among general characteristics of subjects and homogeneity was tested by performing a chi-square test for gender, paralysis side, period of onset, and K-MMSE score. In order to understand the relationship between each variable, Pearson correlation analysis was performed on the variables. Results: First, the right-hand paralyzed group showed correlations in cadence and gait velocity in the up and down tilt of the pelvis, and the left-hand paralyzed group showed correlations in cadence and step length in the anterior and posterior tilt of the pelvis. Second, the tilt of the pelvis was correlated with the Sit to stand, walk forward, walk backwards, turn around at the end point, sit on a chair and the total TUG time in the right hemiplegic group compared to the left hemiplegic group. Conclusion: In this study, a significant correlation was confirmed as a result of gait analysis of right-handed stroke patients divided into a right paraplegic group and a left paraplegic group. In the future, it is suggested that treatment for improving gait of stroke patients should be treated differently for the right and left paralyzed side.
