Effectiveness of a healthy lifestyle program based on a mobile serious game for childhood cancer survivors: A quasi-randomized trial.

Purpose: This study aimed to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a healthy lifestyle program based on a mobile serious game (HLP-MSG) to enhance the lifestyles of childhood cancer survivors (CCSs).

Methods: This program proceeded in two stages: development and evaluation, using a non-synchronized design with a quasi-randomized trial. The participants were CCSs aged 6-13 years whose treatment was terminated at least 12 months prior.

Predicting COVID-19 transmission in a student population in Seoul, South Korea, 2020-2021.

Background: As coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) transmission depends on factors such as demography, comorbidity, and patterns of daily activity, a better understanding of the societal factors of the infection among students would be useful in planning prevention strategies. However, no studies to date have focused on societal factors associated with COVID-19 transmission among students.

Purpose: This study aimed to characterize the factors of a student population associated with COVID-19 transmission in the metropolitan city of Seoul, South Korea.

Reduced forced expiratory flow between 25% and 75% of vital capacity in children with allergic rhinitis without asthmatic symptoms.

Allergic rhinitis (AR) and asthma are closely associated in children. Reduced FEF which reflects small airway airflow limitation is frequently observed in asthma. This study aimed to examine the proportion of small airway dysfunction in children with AR and to determine its associated factors.

Properties and anti-inflammatory effects of enzymatic extracts decomposed using crude enzyme from PKA1008.

This study was conducted to investigate the general properties of an enzymatic extract of (SM) produced using a crude enzyme from PKA 1008 and their anti-inflammatory activities. The SM was mixed with crude enzymes from PKA 1008 (1:1 (v/v)) and incubated at 30 °C for 0, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48, and 60 h. PKA 1008 crude enzyme showed the highest SM enzymatic extracts degradation ability when reacted with SM for 48 h.

Effects of Gamma Irradiation on Inhibition of Urease Activity and Fishy Smell in Mackerel () during Refrigerated Storage.

In this study, gamma-irradiated mackerel () meat was stored in a refrigerator for 20 days to examine the physicochemical changes related to fishy smell. The effect of gamma irradiation on the inhibition of the activity of crude urease extracted from was also evaluated. Increased levels of trimethylamine (TMA) and volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) content, which are the main components causing fishy smell, were significantly reduced by day 20 of storage after gamma irradiation, indicating that freshness was maintained during storage.

Effect of High Hydrostatic Pressure Treatment on Urease Activity and Inhibition of Fishy Smell in Mackerel () during Storage.

In this study, the physicochemical changes related to fishy smell were determined by storing high hydrostatic pressure (HHP)-treated mackerel () meat in a refrigerator for 20 days. The inhibition of crude urease activity from using HHP treatment was also investigated. The mackerel meat storage experiment demonstrated that production of trimethylamine (TMA) and volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), the main components of fishy smell, was significantly reduced on the 20th day of storage after the HHP treatment compared to the untreated mackerels.
