The authors of this study provided basic descriptive data on the correlation between personality tests and Korean language use. Native Korean-speaking students (N = 80) at Pusan National University completed 2 personality tests, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI; I. B. Myers, M. H. McCaulley, N. L. Quenk, & A. L. Hammer, 1998) and the 5-Factor Inventory (O. P. John, E. M. Donahue, & R. L. K...

Bardoxolone methyl, a synthetic triterpenoid, improves the estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in patients with chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes. Since the contractile activity of mesangial cells may influence glomerular filtration, we evaluated the effect of the synthetic triterpenoid RTA 405, with structural similarity to bardoxolone methyl, on GFR in rats and on mesangial ce...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Endometriosis is regarded as a complex disese, in which genetic and environmental factors contribute to the disease phenotype. Whether vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) -460 C/T and +405 G/C polymorphisms are associated with susceptibility to endometriosis was investigated. PATIENTS AND METHODS Diagnosis of endometriosis was made on the basis of laparoscopic findings. ...

Bardoxolone methyl is an antioxidant inflammation modulator acting through induction of Keap1-Nrf2 pathway. Results from a recent phase IIb clinical trial reported that bardoxolone methyl was associated with improvement in the estimated glomerular filtration rate in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease and Type 2 diabetes. However, increases in albuminuria, serum transaminase, and freq...

A compact symmetric space, for purposes of this article, is a quotient G=K, where G is a compact connected Lie group and K is the identity component of the subgroup of xed points of an involution. A branching theorem describes how an irreducible representation decomposes upon restriction to a subgroup. The article deals with branching theorems for the passage from G to K 2 K 1 , where G=(K 2 K ...
