Abstract Objectives This study aimed to investigate the relationship between working hours and lifestyle behaviors using data from a large nationally representative panel survey. Methods We used Korea Health Panel Study (KHPS) 2011 2014. Weekly risk factors were assessed by questionnaires. Comparing reference group, weekly 40 h per week, odds ratios 95% confidence intervals for smoking status, alcohol consumption regular exercise status of other groups (<40, 40, 41–52, >52)...
ABSTRACT RNA interference (RNAi) is a posttranscriptional gene silencing mechanism acting as an antiviral defense in eukaryotes. During viral replication, intermediate double-stranded RNAs are processed into virus-derived small interfering (vsiRNAs) by the host enzyme, DICER. These vsiRNAs incorporated RNA-induced complex (RISC), where AGO2 cleaves genomic RNAs. However, viruses have evolved mechanisms to suppress this pathway. Here, we report that nonstructural protein (NSs) of severe fever...

The edible fungus Phellinus baumii Pilat (Hymenochaetaceae) has been used in Korean traditional medicines for strengthening health and prolonging life. An extract of the fruiting bodies P. was subjected to bioassay-guided fractionation based on its anti-inflammatory effects lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. resulting fractions were chemically investigated, leading isolation three phenolic compounds (1–3), a sesquiterpene (4), two steroids (5–6), fatty acid (7), cerebroside...
Since the International Agency for Research on Cancer classified shift work that involves circadian disruption as "probably carcinogenic to humans," there has been growing concern relationship between night and breast cancer. In Korea, about 10-15% of workers are engaged in night-shift work, cancer is one most common cancers women. The purpose this study was review epidemiologic evidence cancer.We reviewed 21 original articles 5 meta analyses nightwork cancer, investigated compensation...
Abstract Purpose Sleep disturbances are prevalent in firefighters, but the relationship between patterns of shift work and sleep has not yet been investigated. Here, this evaluated Korean firefighters. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted using an online questionnaire, which captured demographic, psychosocial work-related characteristics. disturbance assessed insomnia severity index (ISI). The factors (including type frequency emergency events off-duty means overtime on off days)...
