Machine learning-based classification analysis of knowledge worker mental stress.

The aim of this study is to analyze the performance of classifying stress and non-stress by measuring biosignal data using a wearable watch without interfering with work activities at work. An experiment is designed where participants wear a Galaxy Watch3 to measure HR and photoplethysmography data while performing stress-inducing and relaxation tasks. The classification model was constructed using k-NN, SVM, DT, LR, RF, and MLP classifiers.

Effect of Seawater Temperature Increase on the Occurrence of Coastal Cases: Korean National Surveillance Data from 2003 to 2016.

The purpose of this study was to assess the association between seawater temperature and cases in coastal regions of Korea. All cases in coastal regions notified to the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency between 2003 and 2016 were included in this work. Data for seawater temperature on the south, west, and east coast during the study period were provided by the Korea Oceanographic Data Center of the National Institute of Fisheries Science.

Discovery of a Novel Highly Selective Histamine H4 Receptor Antagonist for the Treatment of Atopic Dermatitis.

The histamine H4 receptor (H4R), a member of the G-protein coupled receptor family, has been considered as a potential therapeutic target for treating atopic dermatitis (AD). A large number of H4R antagonists have been disclosed, but no efficient agents controlling both pruritus and inflammation in AD have been developed yet. Here, we have discovered a novel class of orally available H4R antagonists showing strong anti-itching and anti-inflammation activity as well as excellent selectivity against off-targets.

Glucose metabolism of visceral adipose tissue measured by 18F-FDG PET/CT is related to the presence of colonic adenoma.

This study investigated the relationships between the area and metabolic activity of adipose tissue and the presence of colorectal adenoma (CRA). Our institutional review board approved the study and waived informed consent. A total of 212 subjects who underwent fluorine 18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) and colonoscopy for routine health check-ups were enrolled.

Clinical Dimensions of Bloating in Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders.

Background/aims: Bloating is common bothersome symptoms and most studies conducted in the Western countries found that bloating was frequently associated with lower gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms but many patients complaint bloating as upper GI symptoms in the clinical setting. This study was conducted to assess the prevalence of bloating, and to identify symptom grouping and finally document the impact of bloating in the diagnosis of functional GI disorders.

Methods: Participants in a comprehensive health-screening cohort were enrolled.

New benzoxanthone derivatives as topoisomerase inhibitors and DNA cross-linkers.

We synthesized 12 benzoxanthone derivatives classified as three different groups based on the tetracyclic ring shapes and evaluated their pharmacological activities to find potential anticancer agents. In the cytotoxicity test, most compounds showed effective cancer cell growth inhibition against the HT29 and DU145 cell lines. Among the compounds tested, compound 19 was the most effective in the cancer cell lines tested.

New insight for fluoroquinophenoxazine derivatives as possibly new potent topoisomerase I inhibitor.

Fluoroquinolones, represented by ciproxacin and norfloxacin, are well-known clinical antimicrobial agents, and their phenyl ring expanded quinophenoxazines are reported as possible antitumor active compounds. These quinophenoxazines are known to inhibit DNA topoisomerase II essential for cell replication cycle. But there were no reports for topoisomerase I inhibition study for these compounds.

[Association of Internet addiction with health promotion lifestyle profile and perceived health status in adolescents].

Objectives: To identify the relationship between the internet addiction of adolescents and their Health Promotion Lifestyle Profile and Perceived Health Status, and thereby to detect the impact of internet addiction on the health of adolescents, produce the basic information necessary to develop a prevention program for internet addiction and to plan for a health promotion program.

Methods: This study was designed as a cross-sectional study, and the subjects were the second-grade students of three junior-high and three high schools located in the city of K in Kyung Gi Province. Out of 769 subjects, 764 completed the questionnaires (99.

[Effects of a closed endotracheal suction system on oxygen saturation, ventilator-associated pneumonia, and nursing efficacy].

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a closed endotracheal suction system(CES) on oxygen saturation, ventilator associated pneumonia(VAP), and nursing efficacy in mechanically ventilated patients.

Method: This study was conducted in the intensive care unit of a University Hospital in Gwangju City. Data was collected from July to October, 2003.

Effect of disodium cromoglycate on mast cell-mediated immediate-type allergic reactions.

We investigated the effect of disodium cromoglycate (DSCG) on mast cell-mediated immediate-type hypersensitivity. DSCG inhibited systemic allergic reaction induced by compound 48/80 dose-dependently. Passive cutaneous anaphylaxis was inhibited by 71.

Synthesis of Indium Amide Compounds.

Indium trichloride reacts with 3 equiv of lithium amide in diethyl ether to give In(NRR')(3) (R = Ph or t-Bu, R' = SiMe(3); R = t-Bu, R' = SiHMe(2)) and with 3 or 4 equiv of LiNMe(SiMe(3)) to yield Li[In{NMe(SiMe(3))}(4)]. The chloride also reacts with LiNPh(2) in THF to give the salt Li[In(NPh(2))(3)Cl] and with LiNRR' in pyridine to yield the neutral adduct In(NRR')(3)(py) (R = R' = Ph; R = Me, R' = SiMe(3)). The volatile liquids In[N(t-Bu)(SiHMe(2))](3) and In[NMe(SiMe(3))](3)(py) react with p-Me(2)Npy to form the solid compounds In[N(t-Bu)(SiHMe(2))](3)(p-Me(2)Npy) and In[NMe(SiMe(3))](3)(p-Me(2)Npy), respectively.
