Influence of Support for Career Development Intelligence Building for College Graduates on their Job Performance: The Case of South Korea.

This study conducted to identify the influence of support for career development intelligence building for college graduates, who are early career employees, and to prove the mediating effect of learning transfer and self-esteem. An analysis was conducted using the Graduate Occupational Mobility Survey panel data from the Korea Employment Information Service. The data analysis was conducted using the SPSS21.

An Analysis of Male and Female Managers' Responses to Work Stress: Focused on the Case of South Korea.

This study aims to determine how work the stress of female and male managers in Korean companies influences their capabilities and career development behavior and analyzes how it affects their turnover intention. According to the analysis results determined using the panel data from the Korean Women's Development Institute, first, work stress experienced by managers increases their turnover intentions regardless of gender. Secondly, more work stress decreases the development behavior of male mangers but strengthens the career development behavior of female managers.

Generation of Mouse Basal Ganglia Diffusion Tractography Using 9.4T MRI.

Over the years, diffusion tractography has seen increasing use for comparing minute differences in connectivity of brain structures in neurodegenerative diseases and treatments. Studies on connectivity between basal ganglia has been a focal point for studying the effects of diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, as well as the effects of treatments such as deep brain stimulation. Additionally, in previous studies, diffusion tractography was utilized in disease mouse models to identify white matter alterations, as well as biomarkers that occur in the progression of disease.

Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia Is Associated with Altered Brain Volumes and White Matter Microstructure in Preterm Infants.

Background: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), an inflammatory disease involving disrupted lung development, is associated with neurodevelopmental outcome in preterm infants.

Objective: This study examined the brain volume and white matter (WM) microstructure in preterm infants at term-equivalent age and explored the effects of BPD on brain development.

Method: We studied 56 preterm infants (33 with BPD and 23 without BPD) with no evidence of focal abnormalities on conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at term-equivalent age.

Gold-copper nanoshell dot-blot immunoassay for naked-eye sensitive detection of tuberculosis specific CFP-10 antigen.

Herein, a straightforward and highly specific dot-blot immunoassay was successfully developed for the detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigen (10 kDa culture filtrate protein, CFP-10) via the formation of copper nanoshell on the gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) surface. The principle of dot-blot immunoassay was based on the reduction of Cu ion on the GBP-CFP10G2-AuNPs conjugates, which has gold binding and antigen binding affinities, simultaneously, favouring to appear red dot that can be observed with naked-eye. The dot intensity is proportional to the concentration of tuberculosis antigen CFP-10, which offers a detection limit of 7.

Early detection of the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis using magnetophoretic immunoassay in liquid culture.

Tuberculosis (TB) is an often neglected, epidemic disease that remains to be controlled by contemporary techniques of medicine and biotechnology. In this study, a nanoscale sensing system, referred to as magnetophoretic immunoassay (MPI) was designed to capture culture filtrate protein (CFP)-10 antigens effectively using two different types of nanoparticles (NPs). Two specific monoclonal antibodies against CFP-10 antigen were used, including gold NPs for signaling and magnetic particles for separation.

A Rare Case of Pancreas Divisum Accompanied by Acute Pancreatitis Following Endoscopic Hemostasis for Duodenal Ulcer Bleeding.

Peptic ulcer bleeding is treated using endoscopic hemostasis using clips or bands. Pancreas divisum (PD), a congenital anomaly of the pancreas, usually has no clinical symptoms; however, pancreatitis may occur if there are disturbances in the drainage of pancreatic secretions. We report an unusual case of PD accompanied by acute pancreatitis, following endoscopic band ligation for duodenal ulcer bleeding.

In vivo synthesis of europium selenide nanoparticles and related cytotoxicity evaluation of human cells.

Nanotechnology strives to combine new materials for development of noble nanoparticles. As the nanoparticles exhibit unique optical, electronic, and magnetic properties depending on their composition, developing safe, cost-effective and environmentally friendly technologies for the synthesis have become an important issue. In this study, in vivo synthesis of europium selenide (EuSe) nanoparticles was performed using recombinant Escherichia coli cells expressing heavy-metal binding proteins, phytochelatin synthase and metallothionein.

Repair of an Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography-Related Large Duodenal Perforation Using Double Endoscopic Band Ligation and Endoclipping.

Endoscopic closure techniques have been introduced for the repair of duodenal wall perforations that occur during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). We report a case of successful repair of a large duodenal wall perforation by using double endoscopic band ligation (EBL) and an endoclip. Lateral duodenal wall perforation occurred during ERCP in a 93-year-old woman with acute calculous cholangitis.

An easy and sensitive sandwich assay for detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Ag85B antigen using quantum dots and gold nanorods.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a serious global infectious pathogen causing tuberculosis (TB). The development of an easy and sensitive method for the detection of M. tuberculosis is in urgent need due to complex and low specificity of the current assays.

Self-assembly of biogenic gold nanoparticles and their use to enhance drug delivery into cells.

Integration of the principles of green chemistry into nanotechnology is one of the key issues in nanobio-science research. There is a growing need for development of a synthesis method for producing environmentally harmless nanoparticles in order to avoid adverse effects in medical applications. Here, we report the use of a simple and rapid in vivo biosynthesis method for the preparation of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) using heavy metal binding proteins (HMBPs) in recombinant Escherichia coli.

A case of choledocholithiasis and intestinal malrotation in an adolescent with repaired gastroschisis.

Most infants with repaired gastroschisis develop normally and remain in good health. About 10% of patients with gastroschisis have other malformations. We report a case of choledocholithiasis and intestinal malrotation in an adolescent with repaired gastroschisis.
