Previous studies have associated short-term air pollution exposure with depression. Although an animal study showed association between long-term to particulate matter ≤ 2.5 μm (PM2.5) and depression, epidemiological assessing the are scarce.We aimed determine PM2.5 major depressive disorder (MDD).A total of 27,270 participants 15-79 years age who maintained address within same districts in Seoul, Republic Korea, throughout entire period (between 2002 2010) without a previous MDD diagnosis...
Background:We aimed to evaluate the spatial and temporal trends of health burden attributable particulate matter less than 2.5 µm in diameter (PM ) metropolitan cities provinces Korea.Methods: We used modeled PM concentration data for basic administrative levels, comprising Korea, corresponding annual population census each level, age cause specific mortality data.We applied causespecific integrated exposure-response functions calculate premature ambient four disease end points (ischemic...
Air quality is affected by the interplay between emission sources and urban planning factors such as land use, built environment, development pattern, transportation. Few empirical studies have been conducted to determine influence of form characteristics on air in Korea. Thus, purpose this research examine relationship pollution, focusing ozone pollution The include density, concentration, clustering, use mix. In study, those were measured population Theil index, Moran’s I G-statistic...
In Korea, the level of environmental issues and safety awareness people has increased since 2000s, after Fukushima nuclear accident, public opinion against government's pro-nuclear power plant policy is increasing. Nevertheless, until Park Geun Hye government in 2016, Korea shown a path dependence to continue expand its policy. However, when Moon Jae was launched May 2017, it shifted direction away from previous governments' policy, such as closure Gori No. 1, abolition new plans, expansion...
Abstract Direct STING activation with agonists is very effective in tumor control through Type I IFN responses preclinical animal models. However, agonist therapeutics have faced major hurdles clinical success due to limited bioavailability and suboptimal efficacy within tolerable doses. Here, we introduced LCB39, a novel non-CDN small molecule currently at the development. LCB39 was intentionally generated toward characteristics of lower cell permeability while maintaining its direct...
Objectives: Although a number of epidemiologic studies have examined the association between air pollution and mortality, data limitations resulted in fewer particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter ${\leq}2.5{\mu}m$ ( $PM_{2.5}$ ). We conducted time-series study th...
Ozone concentrations have increased in recent decades, and several studies reported that long-term exposure to ozone increases the mortality risk induced by respiratory conditions. However, research on cause-specific related diseases remains scarce. We constructed a retrospective cohort of 5,360,032 adults aged ≥ 65 years from National Health Insurance Service Republic Korea, death certificates were obtained Statistics Korea determine cause between 2010 2019. The daily maximum 8 h average...
It is necessary to propose a method identify the regional distribution characteristics of air pollution and its health impacts as an important capacity achieve inclusive sustainable community by considering environment in balanced manner. In this study, hotspot areas were identified spatial spatiotemporal pollutant emissions asthma 250 cities over period 5 years (2015-2019). search for prevalence using Hotspot Analysis Comparison, some South Chungcheong Province found be where clustered...
Numerous studies have suggested that long-term exposure to particulate matter ≤2.5 μm (PM2.5) may cause cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. However, susceptibility among those with a history of ischemic heart disease is less clearly understood. We aimed evaluate whether PM2.5 related mortality patients disease. followed up 306,418 hospitalized in seven major cities South Korea between 2008 2016 using the National Health Insurance Database. linked modeled data corresponding each patient's...
The purpose of this study was to examine consumers' behaviors toward ready-to-eat foods and develop food market segmentation in Korea. food-related lifestyle purchase were evaluated using 410 consumers the Republic Four factors extracted by exploratory factor analysis (health-orientation, taste-orientation, convenience-orientation, tradition-orientation) explain ready-to eat lifestyles. results cluster indicated that "tradition seekers" "convenience should be regarded as target segments....
The effects of climate change and air pollution on health have become major topics discussion conducting an assessment the vulnerabilities is essential to providing a solution for it. This study assesses human vulnerability ozone. We classified 27 detailed indicators into eight categories assessed 249 jurisdictions in South Korea by applying Fuzzy Technique Order Preference Similarity Ideal Situation method. results indicated that metropolitan urban areas were more vulnerable than other...
An increase in the expression of delayed rectifier current ( I K ) has been shown to correlate with mitogenesis many cell types. However, pathways involved upregulation by growth factors oligodendroglial progenitors (OPs) have not well-elucidated. In this study, we found that treatment platelet-derived factor (PDGF) and basic fibroblast but ciliary neurotrophic resulted increased density Kv1.5 Kv1.6 mRNA transcripts. The effect PDGF on was blocked mimosine, a cycle inhibitor, genistein,...
EphA3 is a component of the Eph/ephrin tyrosine kinase system, which participates in vasculature development. This receptor/ligand system associated with various signaling pathways related to cell growth and viability, cytoskeletal organization, migration, anti-apoptosis. Accumulated evidence suggests that aberrant regulation its genetic alterations are implicated development progression cancers. However, despite high incidence over-expression, no such investigation has been performed...
With advances in computing technologies and active user participation through smart devices such as the iPhone Android, needs are becoming varied complex. It is quite natural, then, that a single Web service may not be sufficient to fully satisfy diverse goals of users their daily lives. A set cohesively connected services/mashups able deal with these goals. An increasing number open APIs can facilitate various types compositions creators. Recently, Internet, telecommunications, third-party...
Long-term exposure to particulate matter <2.5 μm in size (PM2.5) is considered a risk factor for premature death. However, only few studies have been conducted areas with moderate PM2.5 concentrations. Moreover, an ageing society may be more susceptible environmental and future burden of mortality due PM2.5.This study estimates hazard ratios (HRs) all-cause cause-specific from long-term concentrations the elderly populations seven cities South Korea. We also projected nationwide caused by...
