| 1 | Treatment strategies using adefovir dipivoxil for individuals with lamivudine-resistant chronic hepatitis B显示文摘AIM:To investigate retrospectively the long-term efficacy of various treatment strategies using adefovir dipivoxil(adefovir) in patients with lamivudine-resistant chronic hepatitis B.METHODS:We included 154 consecutive patients in two treatment groups:the 'add-on' group(n = 79),in which adefovir was added to ongoing lamivudine treatment due to lamivudine resistance,and the 'switch/combination' group(n = 75),in which lamivudine was first switched to adefovir and then re-added later as needed.The 'switch/combination' group was then divided into two subgroups depending on whether participants followed(group A,n = 30) or violated(group B,n = 45) a proposed treatment strategy that determined whether to add lamivudine based on the serum hepatitis B virus(HBV) DNA levels(< 60 IU/mL or not) after 6 mo of treatment(roadmap concept).RESULTS:The cumulative probability of virologic response(HBV DNA < 60 IU/mL) was higher in group A than in the 'add-on' group and in group B(P < 0.001).In contrast,the cumulative probability of virologic breakthrough was lower in the 'add-on' group than in group B(P = 0.002).Furthermore,the risk of virologic breakthrough in the multivariate analysis was significantly lower in the 'add-on' group than in group A(hazard ratio = 0.096;95%CI,0.015-0.629;P = 0.015).CONCLUSION:The selective combination of adefovir with lamivudine based upon early treatment responses increased the odds of virologic breakthrough relative to the use of uniform combination therapy from the beginning of treatment. | Tae Jung Yun Jin Yong Jung Chang Ha Kim Soon Ho Um Hyonggin An Yeon Seok Seo Jin Dong Kim Hyung Joon Yim Bora Keum Yong Sik Kim Yoon Tae Jeen Hong Sik Lee Hoon Jai Chun Chang Duck Kim Ho Sang Ryu | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,47: | 19 |
| 2 | Favorable surgical treatment outcomes for chronic constipation with features of colonic pseudo-obstruction显示文摘AIM:To determine long-term outcomes of surgical treatments for patients with constipation and features of colonic pseudo-obstruction.METHODS:Consecutive 42 patients who underwent surgery for chronic constipation within the last 13 years were prospectively collected.We identified a subgroup with colonic pseudo-obstruction(CPO) features,with dilatation of the colon proximal to the narrowed transitional zone,in contrast to typical slowtransit constipation(STC),without any dilated colonic segments.The outcomes of surgical treatments for chronic constipation with features of CPO were analyzed and compared with outcomes for STC.RESULTS:Of the 42 patients who underwent surgery for constipation,33 patients had CPO with dilatation of the colon proximal to the narrowed transitional zone.There were 16 males and 17 females with a mean age of 51.2 ± 16.1 years.All had symptoms of chronic intestinal obstruction,including abdominal distension,pain,nausea,or vomiting,and the mean duration of symptoms was 67 mo(range:6-252 mo).Preoperative defecation frequency was 1.5 ± 0.6 times/wk(range:1-2 times/wk).Thirty-two patients underwent total colectomy,and one patient underwent diverting transverse colostomy.There was no surgery-related mortality.Postoperative histologic examination showed hypoganglionosis or agangliosis in 23 patients and hypoganglionosis combined with visceral neuropathy or myopathy in 10 patients.In contrast,histology of STC group revealed intestinal neuronal dysplasia type B(n = 6) and visceral myopathy(n = 3).Early postoperative complications developed in six patients with CPO;wound infection(n = 3),paralytic ileus(n = 2),and intraabdominal abscess(n = 1).Defecation frequencies 3 mo after surgery improved to 4.2 ± 3.2 times/d(range:1-15 times/d).Long-term follow-up(median:39.7 mo) was available in 32 patients;all patients had improvements in constipation symptoms,but two patients needed intermittent medication for management of diarrhea.All 32 patients had distinct improvements in constipation symptoms(with a mean bowel frequency of 3.3 ± 1.3 times/d),social activities,and body mass index(20.5 kg/m 2 to 22.1 kg/m 2) and were satisfied with the results of their surgical treatment.In comparison with nine patients who underwent colectomy for STC without colon dilatation,those in the CPO group had a lower incidence of small bowel obstructions(0% vs 55.6%,P < 0.01) and less difficulty with long-distance travel(6.7% vs 66.7%,P = 0.007) on long-term follow-up.CONCLUSION:Chronic constipation patients with features of CPO caused by narrowed transitional zone in the left colon had favorable outcomes after total colectomy. | Eon Chul Han Heung-Kwon Oh Heon-Kyun Ha Eun Kyung Choe Sang Hui Moon Seung-Bum Ryoo Kyu Joo Park | 2012 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2012,18,32: | 16 |
| 3 | Prevalence of clonorchiasis in patients with gastrointestinal disease: A Korean nationwide multicenter survey显示文摘AIM: To investigate prevalence of Clonorchis sinensis in patients with gastrointestinal symptoms, and the relation of the infection to hepatobiliary diseases in 26 hospitals in Korea.METHODS: Consecutive patients who had been admitted to the Division of Gastroenterology with gastrointestinal symptoms were enrolled from March to April 2005. Of those who had been diagnosed with clonorchiasis, epidemiology and correlation between infection and hepatobiliary diseases were surveyed by questionnaire.RESULTS: Of 3080 patients with gastrointestinal diseases, 396 (12.9%) had clonorchiasis and 1140 patients (37.2%) had a history of eating raw freshwater fish. Of those with a history of raw freshwater fish ingestion, 238 (20.9%) patients had clonorchiasis. Cholangiocarcinoma was more prevalent in C. sinensis-infected patients than non-infected patients [34/396 (8.6%) vs 145/2684 (5.4%), P = 0.015]. Cholangiocarcinoma and clonorchiasis showed statistically significant positive cross-relation (P = 0.008). Choledocholithiasis, cholecystolithiasis, cholangitis, hepatocellular carcinoma, and biliary pancreatitis did not correlate with clonorchiasis.CONCLUSION: Infection rate of clonorchiasis was still high in patients with gastrointestinal diseases in Korea, and has not decreased very much during the last two decades. Cholangiocarcinoma was related to clonorchiasis, which suggested an etiological role for the parasite. | Ho Gak Kim Jimin Han Myung-Hwan Kim Kyu Hyun Cho Im Hee Shin Gwang Ha Kim Jae Seon Kim Jin Bong Kim Tae Nyeun Kim Tae Hyeon Kim Tae Hyo Kim Jae Woo Kim Ji Kon Ryu Young-Soo Moon Jong Ho Moon Sung Jae Park Chan Guk Park Sung-Jo Bang Chang Heon Yang Kyo-Sang Yoo Byung Moo Yoo Kyu Taek Lee Dong Ki Lee Byung Seok Lee Sang Soo Lee Seung Ok Lee Woo Jin Lee Chang Min Cho Young-Eun Joo Gab Jin Cheon Young Woo Choi Jae Bok Chung Yong Bum Yoon | 2009 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2009,15,1: | 15 |
| 4 | Clinical analysis of risk factors contributing to recurrence of pterygium after excision and graft surgery显示文摘AIM: To find the risk factors related to the reproliferation of the pterygial tissue after excision and graft surgery.METHODS: Charts of 130 eyes of 130 patients who had pterygial excision from March 2006 to April 2011 were reviewed. Preoperative pterygium morphology, surgical methods, and adjunctive treatments were statistically analyzed for their relationship with recurrence.RESULTS: During the follow-up period, recurrence was observed in 20 eyes(15.4%). None of the preoperative morphologic features were affected the rate of the recurrence. However, an age <40y [P =0.085, odds ratio(OR) 3.609, 95% confidence interval(CI) 0.838-15.540]and amniotic membrane graft instead of conjunctival autograft(P =0.002, OR 9.093, 95% CI 2.316-35.698) were statistically significant risk factors for recurrence.Multivariate analysis revealed that intraoperative mitomycin C(MMC)(P =0.072, OR 0.298, 95% CI 0.080-1.115)decreased the rate of recurrence. CONCLUSION: Younger age is a risk factor for reproliferation of pterygial tissue after excision and amniotic membrane transplantation(AMT) are less effective in preventing recurrence of pterygium after excision based on the comparison between conjunctival autograft and AMT. Intraoperative MMC application and conjunctival autograft reduce recurrence. | Sang Won Ha Joon Ho Park Im Hee Shin Hong Kyun Kim | 2015 | International Journal of Ophthalmology(English edition)2015,8,3: | 13 |

| 7 | Assessment of scoring systems for acute-on-chronic liver failure at predicting short-term mortality in patients with alcoholic hepatitis显示文摘AIM To assess the performance of proposed scores specific for acute-on-chronic liver failure in predicting shortterm mortality among patients with alcoholic hepatitis.METHODS We retrospectively collected data from 264 patients with clinically diagnosed alcoholic hepatitis from January to December 2013 at 21 academic hospitals in Korea. The performance for predicting short-term mortality was calculated for Chronic Liver FailureSequential Organ Failure Assessment(CLIF-SOFA), CLIF Consortium Organ Failure score(CLIF-C OFs), Maddrey'sdiscriminant function(DF), age, bilirubin, international normalized ratio and creatinine score(ABIC), Glasgow Alcoholic Hepatitis Score(GAHS), model for end-stage liver disease(MELD), and MELD-Na.RESULTS Of 264 patients, 32(12%) patients died within 28 d. The area under receiver operating characteristic curve of CLIF-SOFA, CLIF-C OFs, DF, ABIC, GAHS, MELD, and MELD-Na was 0.86(0.81-0.90), 0.89(0.84-0.92), 0.79(0.74-0.84), 0.78(0.72-0.83), 0.81(0.76-0.86), 0.83(0.78-0.88), and 0.83(0.78-0.88), respectively, for 28-d mortality. The performance of CLIF-SOFA had no statistically significant differences for 28-d mortality. The performance of CLIF-C OFs was superior to that of DF, ABIC, and GAHS, while comparable to that of MELD and MELD-Na in predicting 28-d mortality. A CLIF-SOFA score of 8 had 78.1% sensitivity and 79.7% specificity, and CLIF-C OFs of 10 had 68.8% sensitivity and 91.4% specificity for predicting 28-d mortality.CONCLUSION CLIF-SOFA and CLIF-C OF scores performed well, with comparable predictive ability for short-term mortality compared to the commonly used scoring systems in patients with alcoholic hepatitis. | Hee Yeon Kim Chang Wook Kim Tae Yeob Kim Do Seon Song Dong Hyun Sinn Eileen L Yoon Young Kul Jung Ki Tae Suk Sang Soo Lee Chang Hyeong Lee Tae Hun Kim Jeong Han Kim Hyung Joon Yim Sung Eun Kim Soon Koo Baik Byung Seok Lee Jae Young Jang Young Seok Kim Sang Gyune Kim Jin Mo Yang Joo Hyun Sohn Heon Ju Lee Seung Ha Park Eun Hee Choi Dong Joon Kim Korean Acute-on-Chronic Liver Failure Study Group | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,41: | 5 |
| 8 | Digital Vision Based Concrete Compressive Strength Evaluating Model Using Deep Convolutional Neural Network显示文摘Compressive strength of concrete is a significant factor to assess building structure health and safety.Therefore,various methods have been developed to evaluate the compressive strength of concrete structures.However,previous methods have several challenges in costly,time-consuming,and unsafety.To address these drawbacks,this paper proposed a digital vision based concrete compressive strength evaluating model using deep convolutional neural network(DCNN).The proposed model presented an alternative approach to evaluating the concrete strength and contributed to improving efficiency and accuracy.The model was developed with 4,000 digital images and 61,996 images extracted from video recordings collected from concrete samples.The experimental results indicated a root mean square error(RMSE)value of 3.56(MPa),demonstrating a strong feasibility that the proposed model can be utilized to predict the concrete strength with digital images of their surfaces and advantages to overcome the previous limitations.This experiment contributed to provide the basis that could be extended to future research with image analysis technique and artificial neural network in the diagnosis of concrete building structures. | Hyun Kyu Shin Yong Han Ahn Sang Hyo Lee Ha Young Kim | 2019 | Computers, Materials & Continua2019,,9: | 5 |

| 10 | Complications after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis in Korean patients with ulcerative colitis显示文摘AIM:To investigate the outcomes of treatments for complications after ileal pouch-anal anastomosis(IPAA)in Korean patients with ulcerative colitis.METHODS:Between March 1998 and February 2013,72 patients(28 male and 44 female,median age 43.0years±14.0 years)underwent total proctocolectomy with IPAA.The study cohort was registered prospectively and analyzed retrospectively.Patient characteristics,medical management histories,operative findings,pathology reports and postoperative clinical courses,including early postoperative and late complications and their treatments,were reviewed from a medical record system.All of the ileal pouches were J-pouch and were performed with either the double-stapling technique(n=69)or a hand-sewn(n=3)technique.RESULTS:Thirty-one(43.1%)patients had early complications,with 12(16.7%)patients with complications related to the pouch.Pouch bleeding,pelvic abscesses and anastomosis ruptures were managed conservatively.Patients with pelvic abscesses were treated with surgical drainage.Twenty-seven(38.0%)patients had late complications during the follow-up period(82.5±50.8 mo),with 21(29.6%)patients with complications related to the pouch.Treatment for pouchitis included antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs.Pouch-vaginal fistulas,perianal abscesses or fistulas and anastomosis strictures were treated surgically.Pouch failure developed in two patients(2.8%).Analyses showed that an emergency operation was a significant risk factor for early pouch-related complications compared to elective procedures(55.6%vs 11.1%,P<0.05).Pouchitis was related to early(35.3%)and the other late pouch-related complications(41.2%)(P<0.05).The complications did not have an effect on pouch failure nor pouch function.CONCLUSION:The complications following IPAA can be treated successfully.Favorable long-term outcomes were achieved with a lower pouch failure rate than reported in Western patients. | Seung-Bum Ryoo Heung-Kwon Oh Eon Chul Han Heon-Kyun Ha Sang Hui Moon Eun Kyung Choe Kyu Joo Park | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,23: | 4 |
| 11 | Computed tomography findings for predicting severe acute hepatitis with prolonged cholestasis显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the significance of computed tomography (CT) findings in relation to liver chemistry and the clinical course of acute hepatitis. METHODS: Four hundred and twelve patients with acute hepatitis who underwent enhanced CT scanning were enrolled retrospectively. Imaging findings were analyzed for the following variables: gallbladder wall thickness (GWT), arterial heterogeneity, periportal tracking, number and maximum size of lymph nodes, presence of ascites, and size of spleen. The serum levels of alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, bilirubin, albumin, and prothrombin time were measured on the day of admission and CT scan, and laboratory data were evaluated every 2-4 d for all subjects during hospitalization. RESULTS: The mean age of patients was 34.4 years, and the most common cause of hepatitis was hepatitis A virus (77.4%). The mean GWT was 5.2 mm. The number of patients who had findings of arterial heterogeneity, periportal tracking, lymph node enlargement > 7 mm, and ascites was 294 (80.1%), 348 (84.7%), 346 (84.5%), and 56 (13.6%), respectively. On multivariate logistic regression, male gender [odds ratio (OR) = 2.569, 95%CI: 1.477-4.469, P = 0.001], toxic hepatitis (OR = 3.531, 95%CI: 1.444-8.635, P = 0.006), level of albumin (OR = 2.154, 95%CI: 1.279-3.629, P = 0.004), and GWT (OR = 1.061, 95%CI: 1.015-1.110, P = 0.009) were independent predictive factors for severe hepatitis. The level of bilirubin (OR = 1.628, 95%CI: 1.331-1.991, P < 0.001) and GWT (OR = 1.172, 95%CI: 1.024-1.342,P = 0.021) were independent factors for prolonged cholestasis in multivariate analysis. CONCLUSION: In patients with acute hepatitis, GWT on CT scan was an independent predictor of severe hepatitis and prolonged cholestasis. | Sang Jung Park Jin Dong Kim Yeon Seok Seo Beom Jin Park Min Ju Kim Soon Ho Um Chang Ha Kim Hyung Joon Yim Soon Koo Baik Jin Yong Jung Bora Keum Yoon Tae Jeen Hong Sik Lee Hoon Jai Chun Chang Duck Kim Ho Sang Ryu | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,16: | 4 |
| 12 | Tacrolimus for children with refractory nephrotic syndrome:a one-year prospective,multicenter,and open-label study of Tacrobell®,a generic formula显示文摘Background:Cyclosporine A and tacrolimus(TAC)are often used as a second-line treatment for children with refractory nephrotic syndrome(NS).This study was undertaken to investigate the efficacy and safety of Tacrobell®,a locally produced generic form of TAC.Methods:This study was a one-year prospective,open-label,single-arm,multicenter trial.Fourty-four children with steroid-dependent NS(SDNS)and 33 children with steroid-resistant NS(SRNS)were enrolled.The primary endpoints were defined as the remission rates,whereas the secondary endpoints were recognized as the duration of remission and adverse effects of TAC.Results:After one-year treatment,34(77.3%)of the 44 patients with SDNS were in complete remission,and 6(13.6%)were in partial remission.Nineteen(43.2%)patients did not relapse during the study;for those who did relapse,the mean duration of remission was 4.6±2.9 months.The number of relapse episodes during the study period(0.90 per patient-year)was significantly lower than that in the preceding year(2.8 per patientyear).After treatment for 3 and 6 months,12(36.4%)of the 33 patients with SRNS were in remission,and after treatment for 12 months,the number of patients had increased to 13(39.4%).The mean time to achieve remission was 4.0±3.2 months.After remission(duration,3.7±2.7 months),12(54.5%)of 22 patients relapsed.The fasting blood glucose and blood pressure levels during the therapy were similar to those at the time of study entry.Conclusions:Treatment with Tacrobell®was effective and safe for children with refractory NS.The efficacy of this generic form of TAC was better than that of the original TAC formula. | Eun Mi Yang Sang Taek Lee Hyun Jin Choi Hee Yeon Cho Joo Hoon Lee Hee Gyung Kang Young Seo Park Hae Il Cheong Il-Soo Ha | 2016 | World Journal of Pediatrics2016,12,1: | 4 |
| 13 | Dietary fat-associated osteoarthritic chondrocytes gain resistance to lipotoxicity through PKCK2/STAMP2/FSP27显示文摘Free fatty acids(FFAs), which are elevated with metabolic syndrome, are considered the principal offender exerting lipotoxicity. Few previous studies have reported a causal relationship between FFAs and osteoarthritis pathogenesis. However, the molecular mechanism by which FFAs exert lipotoxicity and induce osteoarthritis remains largely unknown. We here observed that oleate at the usual clinical range does not exert lipotoxicity while oleate at high pathological ranges exerted lipotoxicity through apoptosis in articular chondrocytes. By investigating the differential effect of oleate at toxic and nontoxic concentrations, we revealed that lipid droplet(LD) accumulation confers articular chondrocytes, the resistance to lipotoxicity. Using high fat diet-induced osteoarthritis models and articular chondrocytes treated with oleate alone or oleate plus palmitate, we demonstrated that articular chondrocytes gain resistance to lipotoxicity through protein kinase casein kinase 2(PKCK2)—six-transmembrane protein of prostate 2(STAMP2)—and fat-specific protein 27(FSP27)-mediated LD accumulation. We further observed that the exertion of FFAs-induced lipotoxicity was correlated with the increased concentration of cellular FFAs freed from LDs, whether FFAs are saturated or not. In conclusion, PKCK2/STAMP2/FSP27-mediated sequestration of FFAs in LD rescues osteoarthritic chondrocytes. PKCK2/STAMP2/FSP27 should be considered for interventions against metabolic OA. | Sung Won Lee Jee Hyun Rho Sang Yeob Lee Won Tae Chung Yoo Jin Oh Jung Ha Kim Seung Hee Yoo Woo Young Kwon Ju Yong Bae Su Young Seo Hokeun Sun Hye Young Kim Young Hyun Yoo | 2018 | Bone Research2018,6,3: | 3 |
| 14 | Surgical management of colonic diverticular disease:Discrepancy between right- and left-sided diseases显示文摘AIM:To compare the outcome of the surgical management of left-sided and right-sided diverticular disease.METHODS:The medical records of 77 patients who were surgically treated for diverticular disease between 1999 and 2010 in a tertiary referral hospital were retrospectively reviewed.The study population was limited to cases wherein the surgical specimen was confirmed as diverticulosis by pathology.Rightsided diverticula were classified as those arising from the cecum,ascending colon,and transverse colon,and those from the descending colon,sigmoid colon,and rectum were classified as left-sided diverticulosis.To assess the changing trend of occurrence of diverticulosis,data were compared with two previous studies of 51 patients.RESULTS:The proportion of left-sided disease cases was significantly increased compared to the results of our previous studies in 1994 and 2001,(27.5%vs48.1%,P<0.05).Moreover,no differences in gender,body mass index,multiplicity of the diverticula,fever,or leukocytosis were noted between patients with rightsided and left-sided disease.However,patients with right-sided disease were significantly younger(50.9year vs 64.0 year,P<0.01).Furthermore,left-sided disease was significantly associated with a higher incidence of complicated diverticulitis(89.2%vs 57.5%,P<0.01),combined resection due to extensive inflammation(21.6%vs 5.0%,P<0.05),operative complications(51.4%vs 27.5%,P<0.05),and in-hospital mortality(10.8%vs 0%,P<0.05),along with longer post-operative hospitalization duration(21.3±10.2 d vs 10.6±8.1 d,P<0.05).CONCLUSION:Compared with right-sided diverticular disease,the incidence of left-sided disease in Korea has increased since 2001 and is associated with worse surgical outcomes. | Heung-Kwon Oh Eon Chul Han Heon-Kyun Ha Eun Kyung Choe Sang Hui Moon Seung-Bum Ryoo Seung-Yong Jeong Kyu Joo Park | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,29: | 3 |
| 15 | Function of flavonoids on different types of programmed cell death and its mechanism:a review显示文摘Cell death in the living system plays a vital role in maintaining the homeostasis and balancing the cell count in the body.Programmed cell death(PCD)is a crucial component of several development and defense mechanisms.PCD is also important in terms of aging which avoids the accumulation of cellular damage by maintaining cell division.Depending on the execution of cell death and its role in destruction,PCD is categorized into several subtypes.The major different forms of PCD in animals are apoptosis,autophagy and necrosis,which can be distinct in morphological terms.More intense investigations of cell death have given close insight showing other important types of cellular destruction and their pivotal roles in treating disease conditions like cancer.Flavonoids have been acquired a great interest for disease therapies and chemoprevention through activation of several PCD mechanisms.The significant potential of natural flavonoids in the induction of distinct signaling cascades is being a massive approach for targeting uncontrolled cell growth.For these reasons,understanding PCD mechanisms is a promising approach for the interventions in treating cancer.Thus,it is intriguing that understanding the different forms of PCD mechanism induced by flavonoids with more accurate descriptions on the biochemical and cellular processes are gaining more significance in cancer research.Here,we provide a brief overview on the different types of PCD and aim to discuss the functional role of flavonoids in promoting different types of cell death as well as an extensive brief review on their mechanism of action has been highlighted. | Preethi Vetrivel Seong Min Kim Venu Venkatarame Gowda Saralamma Sang Eun Ha Eun Hee Kim Tae Sun Min Gon Sup Kim | 2019 | The Journal of Biomedical Research2019,33,6: | 3 |
| 16 | Development of seeder for mixed planting of corn and soybeans显示文摘Corn and soybeans should be sown between 5 cm and 10 cm apart in mixed cultivation to increase protein content and improve productivity of the forage.However,existing sowers cannot plant at intervals of less than 20 cm.Consequently,mixed cultivation of corn and soybeans is currently performed by first sowing corn seeds with a tractor and then manually planting soybean seeds.This method results in irregular intervals between the seeds,it is laborious and time consuming.This study aimed at developing a seeder that can simultaneously,precisely and efficiently plant corn and soybean.The geometrical and rheological properties of corn and soybeans were initially measured.The seed conveying equipment were designed using the EDEM software.The sowing interval between seeds,depth of soil over planted seed,and sowing performance were analyzed.The EDEM simulation results indicated that a 6-mm-wide and 3-mm-deep grooved seed-delivering roller had the highest particle mobility of the designs considered,with a 2.5%misplanting rate.A performance test showed that no misplanting occurred in the sections sowed with soybean seeds at a seeding interval that averaged 32 mm(321 seeds sown in 10 m)and that misplanting occurred in one section sowed with corn at a seeding interval that averaged 247 mm(40 seeds sown over 10 m).The sowing efficiency for both corn and soybeans was found to be 0.42 h/hm2.The average depth of soil over seed was 32.7 mm for soybean and 39.7 mm for corn.These average depths are within the stipulated range for the depth of soil over seed,which is 5 to 10 times the seed size.This study developed an efficient seeding machine that can simultaneously plant soybean and corn precisely,consequently improving forage yield and saving man-hours. | Seung Min Woo Daniel Dooyum Uyeh Moon Sang Sagong Yu Shin Ha | 2017 | International Journal of Agricultural and Biological Engineering2017,10,3: | 3 |
| 17 | Gender differences in adult traumatic brain injury according to the Glasgow coma scale:A multicenter descriptive study显示文摘Purpose:Patients’gender,which can be one of the most important determinants of traumatic brain injury(TBI)outcomes,is also likely to interact with many other outcome variables of TBI.This multicenter descriptive study investigated gender differences in epidemiological,clinical,treatment,mortality,and variable characteristics in adult TBI patients.Methods:The selection criteria were defined as patients who had been diagnosed with TBI and were admitted to the hospital between January 1,2016 and December 31,2018.A total of 4468 adult TBI patients were enrolled at eight University Hospitals.Based on the list of enrolled patients,the medical records of the patients were reviewed and they were registered online at each hospital.The registered patients were classified into three groups according to the Glasgow coma scale(GCS)score:mild(13-15),moderate(9-12),and severe(3-8),and the differences between men and women in each group were investigated.The risk factors of moderated and severe TBI compared to mild TBI were also investigated.Results:The study included 3075 men and 1393 women and the proportion of total males was 68.8%.Among all the TBI patients,there were significant differences between men and women in age,past history,and GCS score.While the mild and severe TBI groups showed significant differences in age,past history,and clinical symptoms,the moderate TBI group showed significant differences in age,past history,cause of justice,and diagnosis.Conclusion:To the best of our knowledge,this multicenter study is the first to focus on gender differences of adult patients with TBI in Korea.This study shows significant differences between men and women in many aspects of adult TBI.Therefore,gender differences should be strongly considered in TBI studies. | Ki Seong Eom Jang Hun Kim Sang Hoon Yoon Seong-jong Lee Kyung-Jae Park Sung-Kon Ha Jin-gyu Choi Kwang-Wook Jo JongYeon Kim Suk Hyung Kang Jong-Hyun Kim | 2021 | Chinese Journal of Traumatology2021,24,6: | 3 |

| 20 | Variation in dynamic deformation behavior and resultant yield asymmetry of AZ80 alloy with extrusion temperature显示文摘In this work,variation in the dynamic recrystallization(DRX)and dynamic precipitation behavior of AZ80 alloy during extrusion due to changes in extrusion temperature was investigated,and the resultant microstructure and yield asymmetry were analyzed.As the extrusion temperature increases from 250℃to 350℃,the primary DRX mechanism changes from twin-induced DRX to discontinuous DRX,resulting in an increase in the DRX area fraction and un DRXed grain size.In addition,as the extrusion temperature rises,Mg17Al12 precipitation during extrusion decreases sharply throughout the extruded material.The reduction in the compressive yield strength(CYS)with increasing extrusion temperature is more pronounced than it is for the tensile yield strength(TYS),which ultimately increases the yield asymmetry of the extruded material.The higher extrusion temperature has less of an influence on the TYS due to the promotion of certain hardening effects.On the other hand,the greater reduction in the CYS is attributed to the increased fraction and size of regions in which{1012}twins predominantly form and the lower amount of precipitates,which effectively facilitates{1012}twinning. | Sang-Hoon Kim Sang Won Lee Byoung Gi Moon Ha Sik Kim Sung Hyuk Park | 2020 | Journal of Materials Science & Technology2020,42,11: | 2 |
