| 1 | 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 |

| 3 | Molecular targeted therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma:Current and future显示文摘Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)is one of the most frequent tumors worldwide.The majority of HCC cases occur in patients with chronic liver disease.Despite regular surveillance to detect small HCC in these patients,HCC is often diagnosed at an advanced stage.Because HCC is highly resistant to conventional systemic therapies,the prognosis for advanced HCC patients remains poor.The introduction of sorafenib as the standard systemic therapy has unveiled a new direction for future research regarding HCC treatment.However,given the limited efficacy of the drug,a need exists to look beyond sorafenib.Many molecular targeted agents that inhibit different pathways involved in hepatocarcinogenesis are under various phases of clinical development,and novel targets are being assessed in HCC.This review aims to summarize the efforts to target molecular components of the signaling pathways that are responsible for the development and progression of HCC and to discuss perspectives on the future direction of research. | Jung Woo Shin Young-Hwa Chung | 2013 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2013,19,37: | 13 |
| 4 | Multiplanar reformations and minimum intensity projections using multi-detector row CT for assessing anomalies and disorders of the pancreaticobiliary tree显示文摘CT scan is regarded as the imaging modality of choice in patients with pancreaticobiliary ductal abnormalities. However, the axial orientation of the CT images provides only limited anatomical view of pancreaticobiliary ductal abnormalities. The technological advances of multi-de-tector row CT and three-dimensional image processing in workstations allows rapid image acquisition and a short postprocessing time. In particular, multiplanar reforma-tions (MPR) and minimum intensity projections (MinIP) offer rapid and accurate images of the anatomy and ab-normalities of the pancreaticobiliary tree. Moreover, MPR and MinIP help determine the relationship between the pancreaticobiliary ductal anatomy and the surrounding structures. This pictorial review illustrates the wide spec-trum of images obtained by the MPR and MinIP of the anomalies and disorders of the pancreaticobiliary tree. | Hyun Cheol Kim Dal Mo Yang Wook Jin Chang Woo Ryu Jung Kyu Ryu Sung Il Park Seong Jin Park Hyeong Cheol Shin Il Young Kim | 2007 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2007,13,31: | 10 |
| 5 | Differentiation of hepatocellular carcinoma from its variousmimickers in liver magnetic resonance imaging:What arethe tips when using hepatocyte-specific agents?显示文摘Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common primary hepatic malignant tumor.With widespread use of liver imaging,various cirrhosis-related nodules are frequently detected in patients with chronic liver disease,while diverse hypervascular hepatic lesions are incidentally detected but undiagnosed on dynamic computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI).However,use of hepatocyte-specific MR contrast agents with combined perfusion and hepatocyte-selective properties have improved diagnostic performance in detection and characterization of focal liver lesions.Meanwhile,the enhancement patterns observed during dynamic phases using hepatocyte-specific agents may be different from those observed during MRI using conventional extracellular fluid agents,leading to confusion in diagnosis.Therefore,we discuss useful tips for the differentiation of hepatocellular carcinoma from similar lesions in patients with and without chronic liver disease using liver MRI with hepatocyte-specific agents. | Yang Shin Park Chang Hee Lee Jeong Woo Kim Sora Shin Cheol Min Park | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,1: | 10 |
| 6 | Clinical application of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in stroke rehabilitation显示文摘Proper stimulation to affected cerebral hemisphere would promote the functional recovery of patients with stroke. Effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on cortical excitability can be can be altered by the stimulation frequency, intensity and duration. There has been no consistent recognition regarding the best stimulation frequency and intensity. This study reviews the intervention effects of repetitive transcranial stimulation on motor impairment, dysphagia, visuospatial neglect and aphasia, and summarizes the stimulation frequency, intensity and area for repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation to yield the best therapeutic effects. | Joonho Shin EunJoo Yang KyeHee Cho Carmelo L Barcenas Woo Jin Kim Nam-Jong Paik | 2012 | Neural Regeneration Research2012,7,8: | 9 |
| 7 | Retrospective analysis of extra-gastrointestinal stromal tumors显示文摘AIM:To investigate the clinicopathologic features of patients with extra-gastrointestinal stromal tumors(EGISTs)in South Korea.METHODS:A total of 51 patients with an EGIST were identified.The clinicopathologic features,including sex,age,location,tumor size,histology,mitotic rate,immunohistochemical features,genetic status and survival data,were analyzed.RESULTS:The median age was 55 years(range:29-80years),and male:female ratio was 1:1.04.The most common site was in the mesentery(n=15)followed by the retroperitoneum(n=13)and omentum(n=8).The median tumor size was 9.0 cm(range:2.6-30.0cm)and the median mitotic rate was 5.0/50HPF.(1/50-185/50).KIT was analyzed in 16,which revealed 10cases with wild-type KIT and 6 cases with an exon 11mutation.Among 51 patients,31 patients had undergone surgery,and 10 had unresectable disease and had taken palliative imatinib,which resulted in 22.7 mo of progression-free survival.Of the patients who had undergone surgery,18 did not take adjuvant imatinib,and 8 of these were categorized as'high risk'according to the risk criteria.However,the relapse-free survival was not different(P=0.157)between two groups.CONCLUSION:Because the biologic behaviors of GISTs differ according to the location of the tumor,a more stratified strategy is required for managing EGISTs including incorporation of molecular features. | Jun Ho Yi Byeong-Bae Park Jung Hun Kang In Gyu Hwang Dong Bok Shin Sun Jin Sym Hee Kyung Ahn Soon Il Lee Do Hyoung Lim Keon Woo Park Young-Woong Won Sung Hee Lim Se Hoon Park | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,6: | 9 |
| 8 | Clinical significance of hepatitis B e antigen level measurement during long-term lamivudine therapy in chronic hepatitis B patients with e antigen positive显示文摘AIM: To determine the changes of quantitative hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) that predicts early detection of non- response or breakthrough to long-term lamivudine (LAM) therapy.METHODS: Among HBeAg positive chronic hepatitis B patients who failed to achieve HBeAg seroconversion within 12 mo, we retrospectively analyzed 220 patients who had received LAM more than 24 mo. RESULTS: The mean duration of LAM therapy was 36 (range, 24-72) mo. HBeAg seroconversion after the first 12 mo of LAM therapy was achieved in 53 (24.1%) patients. Viral breakthrough was observed in 105 (47.7%) patients. To find out whether the changing patterns of HBeAg levels can predict the outcome of LAM therapy, we analyzed the reduction rates of HBeAg levels during LAM therapy. Using the decrease more than 90% of pretreatment HBeAg levels, the sensitivity and specificity of response were 96.2% and 70.1%, respectively. Patients were divided into 3 groups according to the reduction patterns of the decrease of quantitative HBeAg: decrescendo, decrescendo-crescendo, no change or fluctuating groups. The optimal time to predict non- response or breakthrough was the first 9 mo of therapy. At 9 mo of therapy, 49 (92.5%) of 53 patients who had achieved HBeAg seroconversion were included in the decrescendo group. On the contrary, in the no change or fluctuating group, only four (7.5%) had achieved HBeAg seroconversion. Among patients who did not show the continuous decrease of HBeAg levels at 9 mo, 95.2% (negative predictive value) failed to achieve HBeAg seroconversion.CONCLUSION: Almost all patients who failed to showa continuous decrease of HBeAg levels at 9 mo of LAM therapy were non-response or breakthrough. Therefore, monitoring changes of HBeAg levels during LAM therapy in HBeAg positive chronic hepatitis B may be valuable for identifying patients who are at high risk of non-response or breakthrough. | Jung Woo Shin Neung Hwa Park Seok Won Jung Byung Chul Kim Sung Ho Kwon Jae Serk Park In Du Jeong Sung-Jo Bang Do Ha Kim | 2006 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2006,12,41: | 7 |
| 9 | Clinical and endoscopic characteristics of drug-induced esophagitis显示文摘AIM: To investigate clinical, endoscopic and pathological characteristics of drug-induced esophagitis.METHODS: Data for patients diagnosed with drug-induced esophagitis from April 2002 to May 2013 was reviewed. Patients diagnosed with malignancy, viral or fungal esophagitis were excluded. Clinical, endoscopic and pathological characteristics of patients diagnosed with drug-induced esophagitis were analyzed.RESULTS: Seventy-eight patients were diagnosed with drug-induced esophagitis. Their mean age was 43.9 ± 18.9 years and 35.9% were male. Common symptoms were chest pain(71.8%), odynophagia(38.5%) and dysphagia(29.5%). The endoscopic location was in the middle third of esophagus in 78.2%. Endoscopic findings were ulcer(82.1%), erosion(17.9%), ulcer with bleeding(24.4%), coating with drug material(5.1%), impacted pill fragments(3.8%) and stricture(2.6%). Kissing ulcers were observed in 43.6%. The main causative agents were antibiotics and non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs. All the patients were treated with proton pump inhibitors(PPIs) or sucralfate, and the causative drugs were discontinued. Nineteen patients with drug-induced esophagitis were followed up with endoscopy and revealed normal findings, scars or healing ulcers.CONCLUSION: Drug-induced esophagitis mainly presents as chest pain, odynophagia and dysphagia, and may be successfully treated with PPIs and discontinuation of the causative drug. Kissing ulcers were observed in 43.6%. | Su Hwan Kim Ji Bong Jeong Ji Won Kim Seong-Joon Koh Byeong Gwan Kim Kook Lae Lee Mee Soo Chang Jong Pil Im Hyoun Woo Kang Cheol Min Shin | 2014 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2014,20,31: | 7 |
| 10 | Safety of endoscopic ultrasound-guided ethanol ablation for pancreatic cystic lesions: A single-center experience of 214 patients显示文摘Background:Endoscopic ultrasound-guided ethanol ablation(EUS-EA)for pancreatic cystic lesions(PCLs)has been used in recent years as a feasible treatment modality for low malignant probability PCLs or patients considered high-risk for surgery.The present study aimed to confirm the safety of EUS-EA and to find predictive factors for adverse event(AE).Methods:A retrospective review was performed from the prospectively maintained database of patients who underwent EUS-EA for PCLs from June 2006 to April 2018 at Seoul National University Hospital.The primary outcomes of the study were the rates of AEs and severe AEs by EUS-EA.The secondary outcome was the predictive factors of AEs including acute pancreatitis and abdominal pain.Results:A total of 214 patients were evaluated and the diagnoses of PCLs according to cystic fluid analysis and clinical features were as follows:serous cystic neoplasm(32.2%),mucinous cystic neoplasm(26.6%),branch duct type intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm(BD-IPMN)(29.4%),and pseudocyst(11.7%).Three patients(1.4%)experienced severe AEs.Overall,AEs occurred in 71(33.2%)patients.BD-IPMN(OR:2.87;95%CI:1.05–7.84;P=0.040),multilocular cysts(OR:3.59;95%CI:1.09–11.85;P=0.036),suspected ethanol leakage during procedure(OR:10.68;95%CI:1.98–57.53;P=0.006),and sticky cystic fluid(OR:3.83;95%CI:1.20–12.24;P=0.024)were predictive factors for post-procedural acute pancreatitis.PCLs of uncinate process(OR:2.99;95%CI:1.22–7.35;P=0.017)and PCLs with exophytic portion(OR:3.70;95%CI:1.96–7.01;P<0.001)were predictive factors for post-procedural abdominal pain.Conclusions:EUS-EA is a safe procedure with a very low rate of severe AEs.It seems possible to predict the AEs according to the features of the procedure and PCLs. | Jin Ho Choi Sang Hyub Lee Young Hoon Choi Min Su You Bang-Sup Shin Woo Hyun Paik Ji Kon Ryu Yong-Tae Kim | 2019 | Hepatobiliary & Pancreatic Diseases International2019,18,6: | 6 |
| 11 | Effect of trapping vascular endothelial growth factor-A in a murine model of dry eye with inflammatory neovascularization显示文摘·AIM: To evaluate whether trapping vascular endothelial growth factor-A(VEGF-A) would suppress angiogenesis and inflammation in dry eye corneas in a murine corneal suture model.·METHODS: We established two groups of animals, one with non-dry eyes and the other with induced dry eyes.In both groups, a corneal suture model was used to induce inflammation and neovascularization. Each of two groups was again divided into three subgroups according to the treatment; subgroup I(aflibercept),subgroup II(dexamethasone) and subgroup III(phosphate buffered saline, PBS). Corneas were harvested and immunohistochemical staining was performed to compare the extents of neovascularization and CD11b+ cell infiltration. Real-time polymerase chain reaction was performed to quantify the expression of inflammatory cytokines and VEGF-A in the corneas.·RESULTS: Trapping VEGF-A with aflibercept resulted in significantly decreased angiogenesis and inflammation compared with the dexamethasone and PBS treatments in the dry eye corneas(all P <0.05), but with no such effects in non-dry eyes. The anti-inflammatory and antiangiogenic effects of VEGF-A trapping were stronger than those of dexamethasone in both dry eye and non-dry eye corneas(all P <0.05). The levels of RNA expression of VEGF-A, TNF-alpha, and IL-6 in the aflibercept subgroup were significantly decreasedcompared with those in the PBS subgroup in the dry eye group.·CONCLUSION: Compared with non-dry eye corneas,dry eye corneas have greater amounts of inflammation and neovascularization and also have a more robust response to anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenic agents after ocular surface surgery. Trapping VEGF-A is effective in decreasing both angiogenesis and inflammation in dry eye corneas after ocular surface surgery. | Jin Woo Kwon Jin A Choi Eun Young Shin Tae Yoon La Dong Hyun Jee Yeon Woong Chung Yang Kyung Cho | 2016 | International Journal of Ophthalmology(English edition)2016,9,11: | 5 |
| 12 | Effect of preoperative biliary drainage on surgical results after pancreaticoduodenectomy in patients with distal common bile duct cancer:Focused on the rate of decrease in serum bilirubin显示文摘AIM: To examine if the rate of decrease in serum bilirubin after preoperative biliary drainagecan be used as a predicting factor for surgical complications and postoperative recovery after pancreaticoduodenectomy in patients with distal common bile duct cancer.METHODS: A retrospective study was performed in 49 consecutive patients who underwent pancrea-ticoduodenectomy for distal common bile duct cancer. Potential risk factors were compared between the complicated and uncomplicated groups. Also, the rates of decrease in serum bilirubin were compared pre- and postoperatively. RESULTS: Preoperative biliary drainage (PBD) was performed in 40 patients (81.6%). Postoperative morbidity and mortality rates were 46.9% (23/49) and 6.1% (3/49), respectively. The presence or absence of PBD was not different between the complicated and uncomplicated groups. In patients with PBD, neither the absolute level nor the rate of decrease in serum bilirubin was significantly different. Patients with rapid decrease preoperatively showed faster decrease during the first postoperative week (5.5 ± 4.4 μmol/L vs -1.7 ± 9.9 μmol/L, P = 0.004).CONCLUSION: PBD does not affect the surgical outcome of pancreaticoduodenectomy in patients with distal common bile duct cancer. There is a certain group of patients with a compromised hepatic excretory function, which is represented by the slow rate of decrease in serum bilirubin after PBD. | Yun Mee Choi Eung-Ho Cho Keon-Young Lee Seung-Ik Ahn Sun Keun Choi Sei Joong Kim Yoon Seok Hur Young Up Cho Kee-Chun Hong Seok-Hwan Shin Kyung Rae Kim Ze-Hong Woo | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,7: | 5 |
| 13 | Cutaneous metastasis as an initial presentation of a non-functioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor显示文摘Non-functioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors(NF-PNETs) are rare tumors that account for 2% of all pancreatic malignancy.About 60% of NF-PNETs present distant metastases and usually hepatic metastases.However,cutaneous metastases are very rare.Herein,we report our experience with a 60-yearold male who visited our outpatient clinic with a mass on his left hip.An abdominal computerized tomography scan demonstrated not only a left hip mass and an enlarged left inguinal lymph node,but also a huge heterogeneous enhancing mass on the pancreas.Initially,we removed the metastatic lesions,which was a small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma with 50% of the Ki-67 index in the histopathological report.After 3 wk,we performed a total pancreatectomy and a total gastrectomy.Four weeks after the 1st operation,we detected a recurrence at the operative bed on his left hip,and subsequently removed the recurring mass.The patient was receiving chemotherapy based on etoposide and cisplatin treatment. | Woo Young Shin Keon Young Lee Seung Ik Ahn Shin-Young Park Keun-Myoung Park | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,33: | 4 |
| 14 | A gastrointestinal stromal tumor of the duodenum masquerading as a pancreatic head tumor显示文摘Gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) represents the most common kind of mesenchymal tumor that arises from the alimentary tract. GIST is currently defined as a gastrointestinal tract mesenchymal tumor showing CD117 (c-kit protein) positivity at immunohistochemistry. Throughout the whole length of the gastrointestinal tract, GIST arises most commonly from the stomach followed by the small intestine, the colorectum, and the esophagus. Only 3%-5% of GISTs occur in the duodenum, and especially, if GIST arises from the C loop of the duodenum, it can be difficult to differentiate from the pancreas head mass because of its anatomical proximity. Here, we report a case of duodenal GIST, which was assessed as a pancreatic head tumor preoperatively. | Sung Ho Kwon Hee Jeong Cha Seok Won Jung Byung Chul Kim Jae Serk Park In Du Jeong Jong Hwa Lee Yang Won Nah Sung Jo Bang Jung Woo Shin Neung Hwa Park Do Ha Kim | 2007 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2007,13,24: | 4 |
| 15 | Intrauterine midgut volvulus without malrotation:Diagnosis from the 'coffee bean sign'显示文摘Fetal midgut volvulus is quite rare, and most cases are associated with abnormalities of intestinal rotation or fixation. We report a case of midgut volvulus without malrotation, associated with a meconium pellet, during the gestation period. This 2.79 kg, 33-wk infant was born via a spontaneous vaginal delivery caused by preterm labor. Prenatal ultrasound showed dilated bowel loops with the appearance of a 'coffee bean sign'. This patient had an unusual presentation with a distended abdomen showing skin discoloration. An emergency laparotomy revealed a midgut volvulus and a twisted small bowel, caused by complicated meconium ileus. Such nonspecific prenatal radiological signs and a low index of suspicion of a volvulus during gestation might delay appropriate surgical management and result in ischemic necrosis of the bowel. Preterm labor, specific prenatal sonographic findings (for example, the coffee bean sign) and bluish discoloration of the abdominal wall could suggest intrauterine midgut volvulus requiring prompt surgical intervention. | Jun Seok Park Seong Jae Cha Beom Gyu Kim Yong Seok Kim Yoo Shin Choi In Taik Chang Gwang Jun Kim Woo Seok Lee Gi Hyeon Kim | 2008 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2008,14,9: | 4 |
| 16 | Experimental assessment of two-phase bubble pump for solar water heating显示文摘The research goal is to develop a new solar water heater system(SWHS) that uses a solar bubble pump instead of an electric pump.The pump is powered by the steam produced from an evacuated tube collector.Therefore,heat could be transferred downward from the collector to a hot water storage tank.The designed system consists of two sets of heat-pipe evacuated tube collectors,a solar bubble pump installed at an upper level and a water storage tank with a heat exchanger at a lower level.Discharge heads of 1 and 5 m were tested.The bubble pump could operate at the collector temperature of about 90-100 ℃ and vapor gage pressure of 80-90 kPa.It is found that water circulation within the SWHS depends on the incident solar intensity and system discharge head.Experimental investigations are conducted to obtain the system thermal efficiencies from the hourly,daily and long-term performance tests.The thermal performance of the proposed system is compared with conventional solar water heaters.The results show that the proposed system achieves system characteristic efficiency of 10% higher than that of the conventional systems using electric pump if taking the consumption of electric power into account.And the former is a zero carbon system. | CHUNG Han-shik WOO Ju-sik SHIN Yong-han KIM Jun-hyo JEONG Hyo-min | 2012 | Journal of Central South University2012,19,6: | 3 |
| 17 | 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 |
| 18 | Analysis of blasting damage in adjacent mining excavations显示文摘Following a small-scale wedge failure at Yukon Zinc's Wolverine Mine in Yukon, Canada, a vibration monitoring program was added to the existing rockbolt pull testing regime. The failure in the 1150 drift occurred after numerous successive blasts in an adjacent tunnel had loosened friction bolts passing through an unmapped fault. Analysis of blasting vibration revealed that support integrity is not compromised unless there is a geological structure to act as a failure plane. The peak particle velocity(PPV) rarely exceeded 250 mm/s with a frequency larger than 50 Hz. As expected, blasting more competent rock resulted in higher PPVs. In such cases, reducing the round length from 3.5 m to 2.0 m was an effective means of limiting potential rock mass and support damage. | Nick Yugo Woo Shin | 2015 | Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering2015,7,3: | 3 |
| 19 | Evidence from a familial case suggests maternal inheritance of primary biliary cholangitis显示文摘Primary biliary cholangitis(PBC) is an idiopathic autoimmune liver disease characterized by chronic cholestasis and destruction of the intrahepatic bile ducts. Similar to other autoimmune diseases, the pathogenesis of PBC is considered to be a complex etiologic phenomenon involving the interaction of genetic and environmental factors. Although a number of common variants associated with PBC have been reported from genome-wide association studies, a precise genetic mechanism underlying PBC has yet to be identified. Here, we describe a family with four sisters who were diagnosed with PBC. After the diagnosis of the index patient who was in an advanced stage of PBC, one sister presented with acute hepatitis, and two sisters were subsequently diagnosed with PBC. Notably, one half-sister with a different mother exhibited no evidence of PBC following clinical investigation. Our report suggests the possibility of a maternal inheritance of PBC susceptibility. Moreover, judging from the highpenetrance of the disease observed in this family, we inferred that a pathogenic genetic variant might be the cause of PBC development. We describe a family that exhibited diverse clinical presentations of PBC that included asymptomatic stages with mildly increased liver enzyme levels and symptomatic stages with acute hepatitis or advanced liver fibrosis. Additional studies are needed to investigate the role of genetic factors in the pathogenesis of this rare autoimmune disease. | Saeam Shin In Ho Moh Young Sik Woo Sung Won Jung Jin Bae Kim Ji Won Park Ki Tae Suk Hyoung Su Kim Mineui Hong Sang Hoon Park Myung Seok Lee | 2017 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2017,23,39: | 3 |
| 20 | Evaluation of SWAT sub-daily runoff estimation at small agricultural watershed in Korea显示文摘A study was undertaken for the prediction of runoff flow from 0.8 ha field-sized agricultural watershed in South Korea using Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) sub-daily. The SWAT model with sub-daily configuration predicted flow from the watershed within the range of acceptable accuracy. The SWAT sub-daily simulations were carried out for a total of 18 rainfall events, 9 each for calibration and validation. Overall trend and extent of matching simulated flow for the rainfall events in 2007-2008 with measured data during the calibration process were coefficient of determination (R2) value of 0.88 and Nash and Sutcliffe Efficiency (ENs) value of 0.88. For validation, R2 and ENs values were 0.9 and 0.84, respectively. Whereas R2 and ENs values for simulation results using daily rainfall data were 0.79 and -0.01, respectively, that were observed to be out of acceptable limits for the model simulation. The importance of higher time resolution (hourly) precipitation records for flow simulation were evaluated by comparing Ra and ENs with 15 min, 2 h, 6 h and 12 h precipitation data, which resulted in lower statistics with increases in time resolution of precipitation data. The SWAT sub-daily sensitivity analysis was performed with the consideration of hydraulic parameter and was found as in the rank order of CN2 (curve number), ESCO (soil evaporation compensation factor), GW_DELAY (ground water delay time), ALPHA BF (base flow alpha factor), GWQMN (a threshold-minimum depth of water in the shallow aquifer required for return flow to occur), REVAPMN (minimum depth of water in shallow aquifer for re-evaporation to occur), LAT TIME (lateral flow travel time) respectively. These sensit]-ve parameters were evaluated at 10% higher and lower values of the parameters, corresponding to 70.5% higher and 23.2% lower in simulated flow out from the SWAT model. From the results obtained in this study, hourly precipitation record for SWAT sub-daily with Green-Ampt infiltration method was proven to be efficient for runoff estimation at field sized watershed with higher accuracies that could be efficiently used to develop site- specific Best Management Practices (BMPs) considering rainfall intensity, rather than simply using daily rainfall data. | Ganga Ram Maharjan Youn Shik Park Nam Won Kim Dong Seok Shin Jae Wan Choi Geun Woo Hyun Ji-Hong Jeon Yong Sik Ok Kyoung Jae Lim | 2013 | Frontiers of Environmental Science & Engineering2013,7,1: | 2 |
