Jaemin Chung,Eunkyung Nam,Sung-Nam Cho,Jeong-Mee Lee,Hyunjung Kim,Hye-Sun Kim,Wan Jong Kim Korea Institute of Science and Technology Informat 2024 Journal of Information Science Theory and Practice Vol.12 No.1

As the academic publishing environment evolves rapidly and the open science paradigm emerges, the demand for efficient and transparent peer review is growing. This study outlines efforts to actively introduce advanced concepts in scholarly communication into the submission and review system. AccessON Peer Review Management System Plus (ACOMS+), developed and operated by the Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information, is an online submission and peer review system that aims for open science. This study provides an overview of ACOMS+ and presents its four main features: open peer review, open access publishing and self-archiving, online quantitative/qualitative evaluation, and peer reviewer invitation. The directions for further developing ACOMS+ to fully support open science are also discussed. ACOMS+ is the first system in Korea to introduce the open peer review process and is distinguished as a system that supports open access publishing and digital transformation of academic journals. Furthermore, ACOMS+ is expected to contribute to the advancement of the academic publishing environment through the increasing shift toward open access publishing, transparent peer review, and open science.

Background Dimples on the cheeks can make the smile look more cheerful and attractive. Therefore, some people who do not have dimples may choose to undergo dimple creation surgery. Although dimple surgery is quite common, those desiring this procedure often lack information about it. Therefore, we conducted the present study to share our surgical tips and clinical experiences regarding safe dimple creation surgery. Methods This study included 2,048 patients who underwent dimple creation surgery at our plastic surgery clinic between April 2010 and June 2014. These patients were selected from those who displayed no scarring from injury or tumor removal in the central face during the presurgical evaluation. Medical records were used to identify the age and sex of each patient, the location of dimple creation, any postoperative complications, reoperation, and the reason for reoperation. Results Of the 2,048 patients, 159 (7.7%) underwent reoperation. The reason for reoperation was undercorrection in 78 cases (49.0%), disappearance of the dimple in 62 cases (38.9%), and overcorrection in nine cases (5.6%). Five patients (3.1%) had their stitches removed to eliminate the created dimple because they changed their minds, and five patients (3.1%) had their stitches removed because of infection. No patients reported complications after reoperation, and no other complications, such as hyperpigmentation or foreign body reaction, were observed. Conclusions Safe surgery with minimal complications and satisfying cosmetic results can be achieved via accurate knowledge of the relevant anatomy and its relationship with dimples, as well as appropriate surgical methodology.

Individualized Treatment Guidelines for Postpubertal Cryptorchidism

Jae Min Chung,Sang Don Lee 대한남성과학회 2015 The World Journal of Men's Health Vol.33 No.3

Cryptorchidism is a well-known congenital anomaly in children. However, its diagnosis is often delayed for reasons including patient unawareness or denial of abnormal findings in the testis. Moreover, it has been difficult to establish an optimal treatment strategy for postpubertal cryptorchidism, given the small number of patients. Unlike cryptorchidism in children, postpubertal cryptorchidism is associated with an increased probability of neoplasms, which has led orchiectomy to be the recommended treatment. However, routine orchiectomy should be avoided in some cases due to quality-of-life issues and the potential risk of perioperative mortality. Based on a literature review, this study proposes individualized treatment guidelines for postpubertal cryptorchidism.

The Purification and Characterization of a Bacillus stearothermophilus Methionine Aminopeptidase ( MetAP )

(Jae Min Chung),(Il Yup Chung),(Young Seek Lee) 생화학분자생물학회 2002 BMB Reports Vol.35 No.2

Methianine aminopeptidase (MetAP) catalyzes the removal of an amino-terminal methionine from a newly synthesized polypeptide. The enzyme was purified to homogeneity from Bacillus stearothermophilus (KCTC 1752) by a procedure that involves heat precipitation and four sequential chromatographs (including DEAE-Sepharose ion exchange, hydroxylapatite, Ultrogel AcA 54 gel filtration, and Reactive red 120 dye affinity chromatography). The apparent molecular masses of the enzyme were 81,300 Da and 41,000 Da, as determined by gel filtration chromatography and sodium dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), respectively This indicates that the enzyme is comprised of two identical subunits. The MetAP specifically hydrolyzed the N-terminal residue of Met-Ala-Ser that was used as a substrate, and exhibited a strong preference for Met-Ala-Ser over Leu-Gly-Gly, Leu-Ser-Phe, and Leu-Leu-Tyr. The enzyme has an optimal pH at 8.0, an optimal temperature at 80℃, and pI at 4.1. The enzyme was heat-stable, as its activity remained unaltered when incubated at 80℃ for 45 min. The Km and Vmax values of the enzyme were 3.0 mM and 1.7 mmol/min/㎎, respectively. The B. stearothermophilus MetAP was completely inactivated by EDTA and required Co^(2+) ion(s) for activation, suggesting the metal dependence of this enzyme.

정재민,JaeMinChung 한국자원식물학회 1995 한국자원식물학회지 Vol.8 No.2

우리나라에 자생하는 옻나무과 수종을 대상으로 석엽표본 조사와 현지답사를 통하여 지리적 분포 현황을 확인하였으며, 자생지서 수한 잎과 화서,열매,동아,줄기를 관찰하여 종의 특징을 조사하였고, 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 옻나무는 우리나라 전지역에 재배가 가능하며, 특히 추운지방에서 많은 재배를 하고 있었다. 잎은 개옻나무에 비해 두꺼웠으며, 열매는 황갈색이었다. 2. 개옻나무는 우리나라 남쪽 먼 일부도서지방을 제외한 전지역에 분포하고 있으며, 엽병이 붉고, 열매는 6-7월에 성숙하며 강모가 있는게 특징이었다. 3. 산검양옻나무는 난대지방과 온대남부지방에 폭넓게 분포하며, 우리나라에서는 36$^{\circ}$이남지방의 해안과 제주도를 포함한 도서지방에 주로 분포하고 있었으며, 주맥과 2차맥의 형성각이 70$^{\circ}$이상이었으며, 잎과 엽병에 많은 털이 있어 검양옻나무와 구별되었다. 4. 검양옻나무는 난대수종으로 제주도와 남쪽 일부 도서지방에만 분포하고 있었으며, 제주도에는 큰 군락을 이루고 있었다. 잎은 피침형 내지 장타원형이며 털이 거의 없는게 다른 수종과 구별되었다. 5. 붉나무는 난온대지방에 매우 폭넓게 분포하는 수종으로, 우리나라 전지역에 자생하고 있으며, 해조 800-900m에까지 분포하고, 원추화서는 8-9월에 가지끝에 달리는 것이 특징이었다. 6. 덩굴옻나무는 난대지방에 분포하고 있으며, 우리나라에서는 연천군 광도와 상백도에 천연분포하고 있었으며, 낙엽덩굴성으로 잎은 삼출복엽이고, 질이며 광택이 있고, 뒤로 젖혀지는 특징이 있었다. This study was conducted to clarify not only the phytogeographical distribution but also species characteristics of Korean-native Anacardiaceae. 6 species of I genus were ascertained from herbarium specimens and field survey of natural population. Rhus verniciflua have been mainly cultivated in Wonju region, Kangwon-do and Hamyang region, Kyeongsangnam-do, could be cultivated in all parts of Korea, especially more in cold area. R. trichocarpa was distributed in all parts except for some far-islands of South in Korea. Petiole was especially reddish. Fruits are matured in June-July, and have stiff trichomes. R. sylvestris was widely distributed in the subtropical-temperate and temperate zone, and mainly distributed in the seashore and islands under 36$^{\circ}$ in Korea. Leaflets and petiole was reddish, and fruits were glabrous. R succedanea was only distributed in Jeju-do and several islands which is subtropical zone in Korea. Leaflets were lanceolate to oblong, characterized by little trichomes. R.chinensis is a ubiquitous tree which is widely distributed in the temperate zone, in Korea, and ranged perpendicularly to 800-900m. Inflorescense was characterized by apical site. Fruit was covered with dense short hairs and sometimes milky latex. R. ambigua was only distributed in subtropical zone, native in Kwang-do and Sangbaek-do, Yeochon-gun, Chunlanam-do in Korea. Especially, this species was a vine, trifoliolate and most poisonous. Leaflets were coriaceous, glabrous, and revolute type.
