Colwyn, Age 5 1/2, “Protecting Mom and Dad”

Klaus G. Witz,Sung Ah Bae,Hyunju Lee,Youngcook Jun,Yongsock Chang 아시아질적탐구학회 2022 아시아질적탐구 Vol.1 No.1

The present paper is part of a larger case study of a 5 1/2 year old Korean boy, Colwyn, with his mother, Dr. Bae. Dr. Bae interviewed Colwyn twice, about 2 months apart; the first interview was audiotaped, the second videotaped. The present paper is based primarily on the second interview where Colwyn tells several wildly imaginative stories of himself like a superhero “protecting mom and dad.” Our aim is to communicate a sense of Colwyn’s “feeling, consciousness, state” when he is telling these “stories”, using the portraiture philosophy of Lawrence-Lightfoot and Davis and the “Participant-as-ally - Essentialist portraiture” approach of Witz and his students. The paper suggests that Colwyn’s “telling stories” in that Interview involves a highly self-actualized way of “being involved with his ‘I’”, which was apparently prompted by Interview 1 and is expressed in the drawing in Fig. 1. (In Interview 2 he constantly comes back to this drawing and uses it as a jumping off point for ideas in the stories). In addition, when he is telling a story, his whole being (feeling and mind) is “as if flowing in a direct channel,” manifesting as a constant stream of inspiration (creativity), ideas and diverse kinds of energy which is coming from within him, and that is carried on a powerful undercurrent of moral feeling of “being good.” At the same time telling the story represents a state of “subjectively being in a unity with” his mother’s feelings of appreciation and love. These things represent intense genuine spiritual engagement that at the same time manifests itself as creative expression in painting and in verbal interaction, already at this young age. This conclusion is supported by various additional data available.

Human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been used in cell-based therapy to promote revascularization after peripheral or myocardial ischemia. High levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in the senescence and apoptosis of MSCs, causing defective neovascularization. Here, we examined the effect of the natural antioxidant lycopene on oxidative stress-induced apoptosis in MSCs. Although H2O2 (200 mM) increased intracellular ROS levels in human MSCs, lycopene (10 μmM) pretreatment suppressed H2O2-induced ROS generation and increased survival. H2O2-induced ROS increased the levels of phosphorylated p38 mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK), Jun-N-terminal kinase (JNK), ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM), and p53, which were inhibited by lycopene pretreatment. Furthermore, lycopene pretreatment decreased the expression of cleaved poly (ADP ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1) and caspase-3 and increased the expression of B-cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2) and Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax), which were induced by H2O2 treatment. Moreover, lycopene significantly increased manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) expression and decreased cellular ROS levels via the PI3K-Akt pathway. Our findings show that lycopene pretreatment prevents ischemic injury by suppressing apoptosis-associated signal pathway and enhancing anti-oxidant protein, suggesting that lycopene could be developed as a beneficial broad-spectrum agent for the successful MSC transplantation in ischemic diseases.

목적: 동종 반월상 연골 이식술의 결과를 내측과 외측 및 동반손상 유무에 따라 비교하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 1999년 12월부터 2007년 6월까지 동종 반월상 연골 이식술을 시행하고 1년이상 추시가 가능했던 52례를 대상으로 하였다. 내측 이식군은 19례, 외측 이식군은 33례였고, 단독 손상군은 18례 동반 손상군은 34례였다. 평균나이는 34.2세(18세~51세) 평균 추시기간은 42.2개월(12개월~90개월)이었다. 임상적 결과의 판정을 위하여 슬관절 운동범위, VAS 점수, IKDC 주관적 평가 점수, Lysholm 점수, Tegner 점수, 환자 만족도 및 이차 관절경 또는 추시 MRI를 시행하였다. 결과: 수술 후 평균 관절운동 범위는 130.3도 였다. VAS 점수는 수술 전 5.96점에서 3.05점으로, IKDC 주관적 평가 점수 46.5점에서 64.52점으로(p<0.001), Lysholm 점수는 61.94점에서 79.58점으로(p=0.0019) Tegner점수는 수술 전 2.97에서 3.62점으로 향상되었으며 수술의 만족도는 '매우만족', '대체로 만족'이라고 대답한경우가 61.5% 였다. 수술 후임상적 점수의 향상이 있었지만 내측과 외측 이식술 군간 그리고 단독 손상군과 동반 손상군 간의 통계적 유의한 차이는 없었다. 이차 관절경을 시행한 18례중 10례에서 이식된 동종 반월상 연골의 변연부의 치유 소견이 관찰되었고 6례에서 부분파열이 2례에서는 복합 파열이 관찰되었다. 추시 MRI 촬영이 가능하였던 16례에서 아탈구는 12례에서 관찰되었다. 결론: 반월상 연골 이식술 후 내측과 외측 이식군 간의 임상적 결과는 차이가 없었으며 동반된 연골 손상이나 불안정성에 대한 치료를 병행한 경우 동반손상의 유무는 결과에 영향을 미치지 않았다. Purpose: To compare the clinical outcomes after meniscus allograft transplantation between lateral and medial or isolated and combined procedure groups. Materials and Methods: Of the patients who had undergone arthroscopic meniscal allograft transplantation between Dec. 1997 and Jun. 2007, 52 patients were available for retrospective evaluation. Patients were grouped into lateral(33 cases) and medial(19 cases) transplant groups as well as those with isolated(18 cases) and combined(34 cases) procedure. The average age was 34.2 years and the mean follow-up period was 42.2 months. Postoperative range of motion (ROM), visual analog scale (VAS), International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) subjective score, Lysholm score, Tegner score, patient's subjective satisfaction, $2^{nd}$ look arthroscopy and MRI were evaluated retrospectively. Results: Mean postoperative ROM was $130.3^{\circ}$. The VAS showed an improvement from 5.96 to 3.05 at the last follow up. IKDC subjective score and Lysholm score also showed an improvement from 46.5 to 64.5 and from 61.9s to 79.58 respectively. Tegner score was improved from 2.9 to 3.6. Overall, 61.5% of patients reported they were completely or mostly satisfied with procedure. There were no significant differences noted between lateral and medial groups as well as isolated and combined groups. In 2nd look arthroscopy, 10 of 18 cases showed good pheripheal healing and there were 6 cases of partial and 2 of complex tear. We observed graft subluxation or extrusion in 12 of 16 cases who were evaluated with follow-up MRI. Conclusion: Meniscus allograft transplantation alone or in combination with other procedure showed an improvement in knee pain and clinical score. But there were no significant difference between lateral and medial groups or isolated and combined procedure groups.

Expression of porcine circovirus type 2 capsid protein fused with partial polyhedrin using baculovirus

( Jun Beom Lee ),( Sung Min Bae ),( Tae Young Shin ),( Soo Dong Woo ) 한국잠사학회 2015 International Journal of Industrial Entomology Vol.30 No.2

Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is an important infectious swine virus causing postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS). PCV2 capsid protein, encoded by ORF2 has typespecific epitopes, is very immunogenic, and is associated with the induction of neutralizing antibodies. For the efficient production of capsid protein, recombinant Autographa californica nucleopolyhedroviruses were generated to express ORF2 fused with two forms of a partial polyhedrin. Recombinant capsid protein was produced successfully with the partial polyhedrin fusion form and the yield was high, as was shown by SDS-PAGE. Production of recombinant capsid proteins in insect cells was confirmed by Western blot analysis using anti- His monoclonal antibody, anti-ORF2 monoclonal antibody, and anti-PCV2 porcine serum. Fusion expression with amino acids 19 to 110 of the polyhedrin increased the production of recombinant capsid protein, but fusion with amino acids 32 to 85 did not. Additionally, PCV2 capsid protein is a glycoprotein; however, the glycosylation of recombinant protein was not observed. The results of an Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) showed that recombinant capsid proteins could be utilized as antigens for fast, large-scale diagnosis of PCV2-infected pigs. Our results suggest that the fusion expression of partial polyhedrin is able to increase the production of recombinant PCV2 capsid protein in insect cells.

Sang-Ho Jun,Jeong-Ok Bae,Do-Han Kim,Jing-Ho Kim 江原大學校 附設 環境硏究所 1992 環境硏究 Vol.9 No.-

Jar tests have been accomplished for the application of phosphorus inactivation technique as a lake restoration measure in Lake Daechungon which suffered prolonged algal bloom. The time of treatment, the efficiency of treatment to remove phosphorus from the water column and to control the phosphorus-release from the sediment are discussed. The optimum time for the treatment with alum in Lake Daechung would be somewhere between the end of draining and the beginning of the increase of dissolved phosphorus in the lake. Recommended A!/P molar ratio for the treatment of Lake Daechung water at time of the experiment would be 18. Treatment of Lake Daechung water with alum by A1/P molar ratio of 18 brought about 10% reduction of total phosphorus in water column and led about 0.010mg/1 of total phosphorus which the criteria for the oligotrophic level of the lake water. Treatment of the lake water with 5mg A1/1 to control the release of phosphorus from the sediment showed significant to control the release of phosphorus from the sediment could be significant in aerobic as well as anaerobic condition, Phosphorus inactivation technique as a lake restoration measure in Lake Daechung would be effective in case it was employed as a part of overall restoration program.

A Low-Voltage High-Speed CMOS Inverter-Based Digital Differential Transmitter with Impedance Matching Control and Mismatch Calibration

Bae, Jun-Hyun,Park, Sang-Hune,Sim, Jae-Yoon,Park, Hong-June The Institute of Electronics and Information Engin 2009 Journal of semiconductor technology and science Vol.9 No.1

A digital differential transmitter based on CMOS inverter worked up to 2.8 Gbps at the supply voltage of 1 V with a $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process. By calibrating the output impedance of the transmitter, the impedance matching between the transmitter output and the transmission line is achieved. The PVT variations of pre-driver are compensated by the calibration of the rising-edge delay and falling-edge delay of the pre-driver outputs. The chip fabricated with a $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process, which uses the standard supply voltage of 1.8 V, gives the highest data rate of 4Gbps at the supply voltage of 1.2 V. The proposed calibration schemes improve the eye opening with the voltage margin by 200% and the timing margin by 30%, at 2.8 Gbps and 1 V.

An Analysis of Likability of Insects in Korea

( Sung Min Bae ),( Young Soon Jun ),( Tae Young Shin ),( Soo Dong Woo ) 한국잠사학회 2014 International Journal of Industrial Entomology Vol.29 No.2

To investigate the degree of individuals`` likability of insects, a survey was conducted with students and adults living in Korea. Overall, for insect-related questions, positive responses were higher than negative ones. Among the positive responses, the personal rearing of insects scored lower than others. The unconditional dislike of insects scored highest in the negative responses. A significant differences and correlations were found between males and females, students and adults, people experienced in insect-related events and those who were not. In particular, previous experience in insect-related events significantly influenced insect likability. Subjects preferred coleopteran and lepidopteran insects to others. However, this preference of insects differed by gender: Male participants preferred coleopteran insects to lepidopteran insects, while female participants preferred lepidopteran insects to coleopteran ones. No significant differences in the preference of insects were found by participants`` job, residence, or experience in insect-related events. These findings suggest that gender is the most important factor to consider in selecting insects to be used as therapeutic tools in mental health care.
