About the Lab

Professor Hyung-Jin Yoon's research lab specializes in translational biomedical research with a focus on clinical epidemiology, kidney and metabolic health, and human-robot interaction. The lab investigates the clinical implications of biomarkers such as mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and acute kidney injury (AKI) in predicting mortality and disease progression, particularly in aging and cancer populations. It also explores the impact of dietary habits on renal function, including renal hyperfiltration, and develops innovative human-centered technologies such as wearable-based physiological monitoring and safety-aware motion planning for flying robots using physiological signals like galvanic skin response (GSR).

SJR Q1Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (CCLM)

BACKGROUND: An elevated mean corpuscular volume (MCV) is associated with aging, nutrition, alcohol abuse and more, and it is known as a survival predictor in chronically ill patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between MCV levels and mortality from all-causes, cancer and site-specific cancer in a non-anemic healthy population. METHODS: A total of 36,260 participants aged 40 years or older who underwent routine check-ups at Seoul National University Hospital Health P

SJR Q1Cancer MedicineOA

BACKGROUND: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a critical issue in cancer patients because it is not only a morbid complication but also able to interrupt timely diagnostic evaluation or planned optimal treatment. However, the impact of AKI on overall mortality in cancer patients remains unclear. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of 67 986 cancer patients, from 2004 to 2013 to evaluate the relationship between AKI and all-cause mortality. We used KDIGO AKI definition and grading syste

The Association between Renal Hyperfiltration and the Sources of Habitual Protein Intake and Dietary Acid Load in a General Population with Preserved Renal Function: The KoGES Study

SJR Q1PLoS ONEOA

Although the differential response of the kidney to the acute load of various sources of dietary protein in subjects with normal renal function is well known, the influence of habitual dietary protein intake and dietary acid load on renal function has not been tested well. The association between renal hyperfiltration (RHF), the earlier and possibly reversible stage of chronic kidney disease, and the sources of habitual dietary protein and dietary acid load was analyzed with the baseline data of

Socially Aware Path Planning for a Flying Robot in Close Proximity of Humans

SJR Q2ACM Transactions on Cyber-Physical Systems

In this article, we present a preliminary motion planning framework for a cyber-physical system consisting of a human and a flying robot in vicinity. The motion planning of the flying robot takes into account the human’s safety perception. We aim to determine a parametric model for the human’s safety perception based on test data. We use virtual reality as a safe testing environment to collect safety perception data reflected on galvanic skin response (GSR) from the test subjects experiencing a

中華人民共和國 도시주민 조직 방식의 형성 ― 건국 초기(1949-1954) 北京의 지역별 주민조직을 중심으로 ―
윤형진

本稿系关于建立中华人民共和国初期形成城市居民组织方式的探索。关于迄今保持下来的中华人民共和国组织国家成员之独特方式, 作为中国共产党组织及展望与以往政权留下的遗产及城市现实结合而成的历史产物来研究。为此, 针对标准化的居民组织--街道居民委员会予以分析。中共接管以后,基层的行政机构经街政府的建立和取消后, 几年保持现状, 居民组织在保甲组织取消后尚未建立统一形式的情况下, 多样的组织同时存在。在此情况下, 出现了新的人群在由“脱产干部”组成的国家机构与不属于工厂、学校、机关等各种“单位”而过上日常生活的北京居民之间予以中介, 他们就是“积极分子”。与以往政权通过居民组织管理城市居民的方式不同, 中共致力于针对远超过坊里长或保甲长范围和整个积极分子群体进行仔细把握及管理。中共以派出所管辖各区域不仅收集及掌握街道积极分子年龄、性别、教育水平、“成分”、职业等个人信息, 还收集及掌握了负责业务、经济情况、业务能力等多种信息, 来系统地管理他们。然而经过3年多时间, 1949年接管时期形成的基层行政机构和居民组织的运营方式露出了很多漏洞, 如民政事务处理方面存在脆弱性, 对少数积极分子的负担过

Our results, based on the NHID, supports the protective effect of tamoxifen against CVE in Korean breast cancer patients aged 55 and older that is not seen with AIs. Our results can guide the selection of adjuvant hormonal treatment agents for Korean breast cancer patients based on their risk of developing CVE.

SJR Q1PLoS ONEOA

To evaluate the association between alcohol intake and incident chronic kidney disease measures as well as the sex differences in this association, we analyzed health screening data of 14,190,878 adults who underwent health screening ≥3 times and had glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥60 mL/min/1.73 m2 and normal proteinuria at baseline. eGFR was calculated with the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation. Proteinuria was defined as ≥1+ dipstick proteinuria and low eGFR as <60
