High density 1Gb embedded STT-MRAM in 28nm FDSOI technology was successfully demonstrated. Based on the highly reliable and manufacturable eMRAM technology, high yield over 90% achieved at operating temperature from −40°c to 105°c with satisfying read, write function 10 years retention 105°c. These results are mainly attributed advanced process for better control of MTJ CD, window robust circuit design chip. properties can be systematically adjusted by tailoring stack module process....

Hearing rehabilitation with auditory training (AT) is necessary to improve speech perception ability in patients hearing loss. However, face-to-face AT has not been widely implemented due its high cost and personnel requirements. Therefore, there a need for the development of patient-friendly, mobile-based program.
Abstract We demonstrate the mechanism by which C3G, a major dietary anthocyanin, regulates energy metabolism and insulin sensitivity. Oral administration of C3G reduced hepatic plasma triglyceride levels, adiposity, improved glucose tolerance in mice fed high-fat diet. Hepatic metabolomic analysis revealed that shifted metabolite profiles towards fatty acid oxidation ketogenesis. increased uptake HepG2 cells C2C12 myotubes induced rate oxidation. directly interacted with activated PPARs,...
African swine fever (ASF), a highly contagious and severe hemorrhagic viral disease in swine, is emerging as major threat not only Korea but also worldwide. The first confirmed case of ASF was reported 2019. Despite the occurrence Korea, few studies have genetically characterized causative virus (ASFV). In this study, we aimed to characterize ASFV responsible for 2019 outbreak Korea. genome isolated during analyzed. Korea/YC1/2019 strain has 188,950 base pairs, with GC content 38.4%....
Objectives: Vitamin D deficiency as a risk factor of tinnitus has not been well known. We tried to evaluate the association between serum 25-(OH) vitamin levels and among Korean population propose possible role in patients with tinnitus. Methods: This cross-sectional study investigated potential factors relation 25(OH)D within population. It encompassed health interview, nutrition assessment, examination. Data was sourced from KNHANES V (2010-2012), conducted by Division Health Nutritional...
Endoscopic sinus and skull base surgeries are minimally invasive surgical techniques that reduce postoperative symptoms complications enhance patients' quality of life. However, to ensure excellent outcomes after such interventions, intimate familiarity with important landmarks high-level endoscope manipulation skills essential. Cadaver training is one possible option, but cadavers expensive, scarce, nonreusable cadaver work requires specialized equipment staff. In addition, it difficult...
In this paper, we studied the mechanism of triglyceride (TG)-lowering effect kaempferol in vitro and vivo. Kaempferol showed LXR agonistic activities without inducing TGs or expression several lipogenic genes cultured cells. A luciferase qPCR analysis that increased transactivation PPARα PPARδ stimulated gene associated with fatty acid oxidation uptake hepatocytes. More importantly, inhibited protein kinase B (Akt) activity suppressed SREBP-1 activation via multiple mechanisms, including...
Objective To examine the effect of xylitol nasal irrigation in a large sample size patients who had undergone surgery. Study Design Double‐blinded randomized controlled crossover study. Setting Tertiary referral center. Methods The study included 100 with sinonasal disease underwent endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS), septoplasty, or both concurrently. identify allergic sensitization, serum‐specific immunoglobulin E levels were measured. Nasal symptoms evaluated NOSE (Nasal Obstruction Symptoms...
Objective Review of a sigmoid sinus diverticuli (SSDi) variants surgically managed with novel technique using an inferior periosteal flap. Study Design Case series. Setting Tertiary referral center. Patients presenting pulsatile tinnitus to tertiary center between January 1, 2015, and June 31, 2021, who were diagnosed SSDi on CT temporal bone received surgical management for these variants.

Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is an antioxidant with oto-protective effects. In the present study, safety and effectiveness of ALA therapy after noise-induced hearing loss was confirmed based on administration method. The intratympanic (IT-ALA) evaluated oto-endoscopy middle ear mucosa morphologic study. Perilymph concentrations according to routes were compared, efficacy investigated through tests cochlear histological studies. swollen 1 week IT-ALA but completely recovered within 3 weeks....
African swine fever (ASF), a contagious and lethal haemorrhagic disease of domestic pigs wild boars, poses significant threat to the global pig industry. Although experimental vaccine candidates derived from naturally attenuated, genetically engineered, or cell culture-adapted ASF virus have been tested, no commercial is accepted globally. We developed safe effective cell-adapted live attenuated candidate (ASFV-MEC-01) by serial passage field isolate in CA-CAS-01-A cells. ASFV-MEC-01,...
