Abstract Field trials in Europe with Miscanthus over the past 25 years have demonstrated that interspecies hybrids such as M. × giganteus ( M × g ) combine both high yield potentials and low inputs in a wide range of soils and climates. Miscanthus hybrids are expected to play a major role in the provision of perennial lignocellulosic biomass across much of Europe as part of a lower carbon economy. However, even with favourable policies in some European countries, uptake has been slow. M × g , as

RIRS is a safe and effective treatment for renal stones. The stone-free rate of RIRS was particularly high for renal stones with a small burden, except for those located in the lower pole. RIRS could be considered in selective patients with renal stones.

Rosmarinic acid methyl ester (RAME), a derivative of rosmarinic acid (RA), is reported to have several therapeutic effects, including anti-tumor effects against cervical cancer. However, its anti-tumor effects in ovarian cancer is unclear. In this study, we studied the molecular pathways associated with the anti-tumor effects of RAME in ovarian cancer. To identify the effects of RAME in ovarian cancer, RNA sequencing was performed in RAME-treated ovarian cancer cells; we found that RAME treatmen

Echinochloa species is one of the most problematic weed species due to its high competitiveness and increasing herbicide resistance. Florpyrauxifen-benzyl, a new auxin herbicide, was recently introduced for Echinochloa management; however, the potential risk for the development of herbicide resistance in Echinochloa species has not been well-investigated. Thus, this study was conducted to evaluate the baseline sensitivity of Echinochloa species to florpyrauxifen-benzyl to estimate the risk of fu

The present study demonstrates the status of contraceptive use among Korean adolescents. Our data have the potential to help healthcare providers to formulate policies and develop interventions for encouraging effective contraceptive use among sexually active Korean adolescents.

Abstract Background We aimed to explore the associations between thigh muscle fat density and vascular events. Methods A total of 3,595 adults (mean age, 57.2 years; women, 1,715 [47.7%]) without baseline cardiovascular events from the Korean Atherosclerosis Study-2 were included. Muscle and fat area at the mid-thigh level were measured by computed tomography (CT) using the following Hounsfield Unit range: 0–30 for low density muscle (LDM); 31–100 for normal density muscle (NDM); and − 250 to −

Miscanthus is a promising bioenergy crop due to its high productivity and broad environmental adaptability to tropical and temperate climates. As important Miscanthus species such as M. sinensis and M. sacchariflorus are native to East Asia, implying more diverse Miscanthus genetic resources in this region, in this study, we collected about 300 Miscanthus accessions from East Asia, mainly in Korea. From the whole collections, 66 Miscanthus accessions representing geographical location and latitu

PURPOSE: To investigate the surgical results of the non-adjustable suture technique under general anesthesia for the correction of acute acquired comitant esotropia. STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective case study. METHODS: Patients with acute acquired comitant esotropia who underwent corrective surgery from September 2008 to June 2018 were included. Surgical treatment was conducted based on the measured maximum angle after occlusion for at least 1 h; all surgeries were performed using the non-adjustable

Four-year field experiments were conducted to investigate phenotypic traits associated with the biomass yield of 173 Miscanthus sinensis accessions collected from Korea and neighboring East Asian countries. Nine phenological and agronomic traits associated with biomass yield were assessed to investigate their phenotypic diversity and relationships with biomass yield as well as the latitudes of the M. sinensis accessions collection sites. Correlation analyses among phenological and agronomic trai

Purpose: To investigate transitional changes in refractive error distributions in a pediatric population using the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) data. Methods: We investigated 7,181 subjects from the 4th and 5th (2008-2012) KNHANES and 1,225 subjects from the 7th (2016) KNHANES; all subjects were 5 to 18 years of age. We used the average spherical equivalent (SE) of both eyes calculated with noncycloplegic refractive errors measured via autorefractor. We deter

총의치 보철은 잔존 자연치가 완전히 소실된 환자를 위한 상, 하악의 상실된 관련 구조물과 자연치의 수복을 포함한다. 보철치료의 궁극적인 목적중에 심미적 그리고 기능적인 회복이 포함된다. 최근에는 고령의 환자들에도 심미적인 요구가 크게 증가되고 있기에 총의치 보철치료에 있어서도 이점을 간과해서는 안 된다. 총의치 보철치료에서도 자연 치아와 유사하게 보이기 위해 치아 마모 정도 및 배열, 치경부 치은의 퇴축, 착색, 치은의 색조 개선 등을 표현하려는 다양한 시도들이 이루어져 왔다. 본 61세 여환은 5년 전 개인치과에서 제작한 의치가 부러지고 잘 맞지 않는다는 주소로 본원 보철과 내원하였고 상악 총의치 및 하악의 임플란트 피개의치를 제작하기로 계획하였다. 환자는 기본적인 저작기능의 회복을 고려하고 있었지만, 그보다는 자연스럽고 심미적인 총의치 제작에 최우선 순위를 두고 있었다. 심미적이며 자연스러운 형태를 표현하기 위하여 Aesthetic Color Set Easy system(R) (
