Abstract
When analyzing multivariate longitudinal binary data, we estimate the effects on the responses of the covariates while accounting for three types of complex correlations present in the data. These include the correlations within separate responses over time, cross-correlations between different responses at different times, and correlations between different responses at each time point. The number of parameters thus increases quadratically with the dimension of the correlation matrix, making parameter estimation difficult; the estimated correlation matrix must also meet the positive definiteness constraint. The correlation matrix may additionally be heteroscedastic; however, the matrix structure is commonly considered to be homoscedastic and constrained, such as exchangeable or autoregressive with order one. These assumptions are overly strong, resulting in skewed estimates of the covariate effects on the responses. Hence, we propose probit linear mixed models for multivariate longitudinal binary data, where the correlation matrix is estimated using hypersphere decomposition instead of the strong assumptions noted above. Simulations and real examples are used to demonstrate the proposed methods. An open source R package, BayesMGLM, is made available on GitHub at https://github.com/kuojunglee/BayesMGLM/ with full documentation to produce the results.

Abstract
This study investigates the impact of advanced driver-assistance systems on drivers' mental workload. Using a combination of physiological signals including ECG, EMG, EDA, EEG (af4 and fc6 channels from the theta band), and eye diameter data, this study aims to predict and categorize drivers' mental workload into low, adequate, and high levels. Data were collected from five different driving situations with varying cognitive demands. A functional linear regression model was employed for prediction, and the accuracy rate was calculated. Among the 31 tested combinations of physiological variables, 9 combinations achieved the highest accuracy result of 90%. These results highlight the potential benefits of utilizing raw physiological signal data and employing functional data analysis methods to understand and assess driver mental workload. The findings of this study have implications for the design and improvement of driver-assistance systems to optimize safety and performance.

Abstract
We investigate regional features nearby the subway station using the clustering method called the funFEM and propose a two-step procedure to predict a subway passenger transport flow by incorporating the geographical information from the cluster analysis to functional time series prediction. A massive smart card transaction dataset is used to analyze the daily number of passengers for each station in Seoul Metro. First, we cluster the stations into six categories with respect to their patterns of passenger transport. Then, we forecast the daily number of passengers with respect to each cluster. By comparing our predicted results with the actual number of passengers, we demonstrate the predicted number of passengers based on the clustering results is more accurate in contrast to the result without considering the regional properties. The result from our data-driven approach can be applied to improve the subway service plan and relieve infectious diseases as we can reduce the congestion by controlling train intervals based on the passenger flow. Furthermore, the prediction result can be utilized to plan a ‘smart city’ which seeks shorter commuting time, comfortable ridership, and environmental sustainability.

Abstract
Purpose In this study, we sought to identify critical linguistic markers that can differentiate sentence processing of individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) from the sentence processing of normal-aging populations by manipulating sentences' linguistic complexity. We investigated whether passive sentences, as linguistically complex structures, can serve as linguistic markers that can contribute to diagnoses that distinguish MCI from normal aging. Method In total, 52 participants, including 26 adults with amnestic MCI and 26 cognitively unimpaired adults, participated in the study. All participants were native speakers of Korean. We administered the two subsets of active and passive conditions using a sentence-picture paradigm with semantically reversible sentences to both groups. Results A mixed-effects model using PROC NLMIXED demonstrated that the MCI group exhibited differentially greater difficulty in processing passive than active sentences compared to the normal-aging group. A logistic regression fitted with the PROC LOGISTIC model identified the sum of the passive sentences, with age and education effects as the best models to distinguish individuals with MCI from the normal-aging group. Conclusion Sentence comprehension deficits emerged in the MCI stage when the syntactic complexity was increased. Furthermore, a passive structure was the best predictor for efficiently distinguishing the MCI group from the normal-aging group. These results are clinically and theoretically important, given that linguistic complexity can serve as a critical behavioral marker in the detection of early symptoms associated with linguistic-cognitive decline.

Abstract
Sales of multivitamins have been growing rapidly and the concept of natural multivitamin, plant-based multivitamin, or both has been introduced in the market, leading consumers to anticipate additional health benefits from phytochemicals that accompany the vitamins. However, the lack of labeling requirements might lead to fraudulent claims. Therefore, the objective of this study was to develop a strategy to verify identity of plant-based multivitamins. Phytochemical fingerprinting was used to discriminate identities. In addition, multiple bioassays were performed to determine total antioxidant capacity. A statistical computation model was then used to measure contributions of phytochemicals and vitamins to antioxidant activities. Fifteen multivitamins were purchased from the local markets in Seoul, Korea and classified into three groups according to the number of plant ingredients. Pearson correlation analysis among antioxidant capacities, amount phenols, and number of plant ingredients revealed that ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryhydrazyl (DPPH) assay results had the highest correlation with total phenol content. This suggests that FRAP and DPPH assays are useful for characterizing plant-derived multivitamins. Furthermore, net effect linear regression analysis confirmed that the contribution of phytochemicals to total antioxidant capacities was always relatively higher than that of vitamins. Taken together, the results suggest that phytochemical fingerprinting in combination with multiple bioassays could be used as a strategy to determine whether plant-derived multivitamins could provide additional health benefits beyond their nutritional value.

Abstract
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory immune-mediated autoimmune skin disorder. The histamine H4 receptor (H4R) agonist 4-methylhistamine (4-MH) plays an important role in immunomodulation of inflammatory responses associated with allergic inflammatory diseases. In this study, we investigated the effects of H4R agonist 4-MH on the development of imiquimod (IMQ)-induced psoriasis-like skin inflammation in mice and explored the immunoregulatory mechanism involved. The total clinical severity scores were significantly ameliorated by treatment with 4-MH (20 mg/kg) and 4-MH (40 mg/kg). Histological analysis of the skin revealed that 4-MH (20 mg/kg) and 4-MH (40 mg/kg) significantly attenuated the psoriatic phenotypes, including epidermal hyperplasis, hyperkeratosis and lymphocytes infiltration. Treatment with 4-MH (20 mg/kg) and 4-MH (40 mg/kg) led to reductions in the levels of Th1 cytokines (TNF-α, IFN-α, and IL-27) in the serum and dorsal skin, whereas Th17 cytokines levels (IL-17A and IL-23) did not change in response to treatment with 4-MH (20 mg/kg) and 4-MH (40 mg/kg). Furthermore, the number of CD4(+) CD25(+) FoxP3(+) regulatory T (Treg) cells was significantly increased by treatment with 4-MH (40 mg/kg). Taken together, these results imply that H4R agonist 4-MH might be an effective immunomodulatory approach for treatment of patients with psoriasis and the effects may be related to inhibited epidermal alteration, selectively reduced Th1 pro-inflammatory cytokines, and recruited CD4(+) CD25(+) FoxP3(+) Treg cells.

Abstract
MicroRNAs have crucial roles in lung cancer cell development. They regulate cell growth, proliferation and migration by mediating the expression of tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes. We identified and characterized the novel miR-9500 in human lung cancer cells. The miR-9500 forms a stem-loop structure and is conserved in other mammals. The expression levels of miR-9500 were reduced in lung cancer cells and lung cancer tissues compared with normal tissues, as verified by TaqMan miRNA assays. It was confirmed that the putative target gene, Akt1, was directly suppressed by miR-9500, as demonstrated by a luciferase reporter assay. The miR-9500 significantly repressed the protein expression levels of Akt1, as demonstrated via western blot, but did not affect the corresponding mRNA levels. Akt1 has an important role in lung carcinogenesis, and depletion of Akt1 has been shown to have antiproliferative and anti-migratory effects in previous studies. In the current study, the overexpression of miR-9500 inhibited cell proliferation and the expression of cell cycle-related proteins. Likewise, the overexpression of miR-9500 impeded cell migration in human lung cancer cells. In an in vivo assay, miR-9500 significantly suppressed Fluc expression compared with NC and ASO-miR-9500, suggesting that cell proliferation was inhibited in nude mice. Likewise, miR-9500 repressed tumorigenesis and metastasis by targeting Akt1. These data indicate that miR-9500 might be applicable for lung cancer therapy.

Abstract
Aortic pulse wave velocity (AoPWV) and augmentation index (AIx) are commonly used measures of large elastic artery stiffness and wave reflection, respectively. Recently, a new cuff-based SphygmoCor device (Xcel) has been developed to measure both AoPWV and AIx. We sought to examine the following: (1) the validity of Xcel compared with the well-validated tonometry-based SphygmoCor device (MM3); (2) the intratest and day-to-day reliability of Xcel; (3) the influence of body side (right or left) on Xcel measurements; and (4) the relation of Xcel measurements to carotid artery compliance, distensibility and β-stiffness index. We found that measurements of AoPWV and AIx between Xcel and MM3 were not different (P=0.26 and P=0.43, N=22 and 26, respectively) and were strongly related (r=0.85 and 0.75, P<0.0001), and based on Bland-Altman plots there was good agreement between them. Intra-test (intraclass correlation=0.996 and 0.983, P<0.0001; AoPWV and AIx, N=24 and 26, respectively) and day-to-day reliability (intraclass correlation=0.979 and 0.939, P<0.0001) were high. Xcel AoPWV and AIx on the left versus right body side were not different (P=0.19 and P=0.58, N=14 and 15, respectively) and were highly correlated (r=0.99 and 0.94, P<0.0001). AoPWV and AIx measured with Xcel were positively related with β-stiffness index (r=0.62 and 0.51, P< or = 0.005, N=23 and 24, respectively) and negatively related with distensibility (r = -0.58 and -0.44, P < or = 0.02, N=23 and 24, respectively). In conclusion, Xcel measures of AIx and AoPWV are valid, highly reliable and not affected by body side. Xcel is a useful tool for use in research and the clinic.

Abstract
In this article, we test the effects of predictors in survival regression through two well-known sufficient dimension reduction methods. Since the usual sufficient dimension reduction methods do not require pre-specified models, the predictor effect tests can be considered model-free. All of the test statistics have χ (2) distributions. Numerical studies of the proposed predictor effect tests in various simulations and real data application are presented.

Abstract
Background Changes in microRNA (miRNA) expression patterns have been extensively characterized in several cancers, including human colon cancer. However, how these miRNAs and their putative mRNA targets contribute to the etiology of cancer is poorly understood. In this work, a bioinformatics computational approach with miRNA and mRNA expression data was used to identify the putative targets of miRNAs and to construct association networks between miRNAs and mRNAs to gain some insights into the underlined molecular mechanisms of human colon cancer. Method The miRNA and mRNA microarray expression profiles from the same tissues including 7 human colon tumor tissues and 4 normal tissues, collected by the Broad Institute, were used to identify significant associations between miRNA and mRNA. We applied the partial least square (PLS) regression method and bootstrap based statistical tests to the joint expression profiles of differentially expressed miRNAs and mRNAs. From this analysis, we predicted putative miRNA targets and association networks between miRNAs and mRNAs. Pathway analysis was employed to identify biological processes related to these miRNAs and their associated predicted mRNA targets. Results Most significantly associated up-regulated mRNAs with a down-regulated miRNA identified by the proposed methodology were considered to be the miRNA targets. On average, approximately 16.5% and 11.0% of targets predicted by this approach were also predicted as targets by the common prediction algorithms TargetScan and miRanda, respectively. We demonstrated that our method detects more targets than a simple correlation based association. Integrative mRNA:miRNA predictive networks from our analysis were constructed with the aid of Cytoscape software. Pathway analysis validated the miRNAs through their predicted targets that may be involved in cancer-associated biological networks. Conclusion We have identified an alternative bioinformatics approach for predicting miRNA targets in human colon cancer and for reverse engineering the miRNA:mRNA network using inversely related mRNA and miRNA joint expression profiles. We demonstrated the superiority of our predictive method compared to the correlation based target prediction algorithm through a simulation study. We anticipate that the unique miRNA targets predicted by the proposed method will advance the understanding of the molecular mechanism of colon cancer and will suggest novel therapeutic targets after further experimental validations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Childhood obesity is an emerging health issue in Korea. We investigated the prevalence of obesity and its trend over time in ambulatory Korean children with CP. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 1,397 children with CP between 1995 and 2008. The data were grouped into 4 time periods (1995-1997, 1998-2002, 2003-2004 and 2005-2008). The prevalence of obesity over each period and its relationship to gender, birth weight, age, and gross motor function classification system were investigated. RESULTS The percentage of obese children was 5.8%, overweight children 11.2%, and underweight children 10.4%. The prevalence of obesity significantly increased from the first time period to the third time period. The prevalence of obesity found in our study was significantly lower than the report from the U.S.A. during same time period between 1994 and 2004 (p<0.05). The prevalence of obesity significantly decreased with age as well. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of obesity in our subjects significantly increased and has reached a plateau in recent years. Compared to the prevalence of childhood obesity in ambulatory individuals with CP in the U.S.A. study, the prevalence in our study was significantly lower.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate whether modified constraint-induced movement therapy (mCIMT) following a botulinum type A toxin (BoNT-A) injection enhances the effects of the BoNT-A injection into the spastic upper limb of children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy (CP). METHODS A combined therapy with mCIMT and BoNT-A was given to 17 children in group A. Fifteen children in group B received only the BoNT-A injection. The muscle tone, the movement pattern, and the How Often and the How Well scales in the revised Pediatric Motor Activity Log (revised PMAL) were assessed before and 3 weeks after intervention. RESULTS Three participants in group A dropped out due to poor tolerance of mCIMT. There were significant improvements in the muscle tone and the movement patterns for both groups (p<0.05), and the changes were not significantly different between the two groups. The How Often and the How Well scales in the revised PMAL were significantly improved in group A (p<0.05), but not in group B. CONCLUSION A combined therapy of mCIMT and BoNT-A seems to be helpful to enhance the effects of the BoNT-A injection in the functional use of the affected limb in children with hemiplegic CP.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Expression of T helper (Th)1 cytokine mRNA in pregnant women is known to be inversely correlated with serum human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). Type 1 diabetes is a Th1-mediated autoimmune disease, in which intervention at an early stage of the autoimmune process can prevent disease progression. We hypothesised that immune modulation by treating young NOD mice with hCG may prevent diabetes. METHODS Female NOD mice were treated with hCG or recombinant hCG from 3 to 15 weeks of age and the incidence of diabetes and development of insulitis was determined. CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell populations, T cell proliferation, cytokine production and CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cells were examined and adoptive transfer experiments were performed. RESULTS Both purified and recombinant hCG prevented development of diabetes in NOD mice. hCG decreased the proportion and number of CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells and inhibited T cell proliferative responses against beta cell antigens. hCG treatment suppressed IFN-gamma production, but increased IL-10 and TGF-beta production in splenocytes stimulated with anti-CD3 antibody. hCG treatment also suppressed TNF-alpha production in splenocytes stimulated with lipopolysaccharide. Furthermore, hCG treatment increased the CD4(+)CD25(+)/CD4(+) T cell ratio in spleen and pancreatic lymph nodes. Depletion of CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells from splenocytes of hCG-treated NOD mice abolished their preventive effect on diabetes transfer. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION We conclude that hCG has an immunomodulatory effect by downregulating effector cells, including Th1 cells, CD8(+) T cells and macrophages, and increasing the CD4(+)CD25(+)/CD4(+) T cell ratio, thus preventing autoimmune diabetes in NOD mice.

Abstract
This study evaluated the accuracy of cefotetan susceptibility determination using the MicroScan WalkAway system for AmpC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae. In total, 57 K. pneumoniae isolates that showed a D-shape flattening in a double-disk synergy test were studied. Cefotetan MICs were determined by the agar dilution method. The bla(DHA) gene was detected in all 57 isolates, one of which co-harboured bla(CMY-1). According to the MicroScan system, 28 isolates were susceptible, 18 were intermediately-resistant, and 11 were resistant to cefotetan. Compared with the agar dilution method, very major, minor and major error rates were 28.1% (16/57), 47.4% (27/57) and 1.8% (1/57), respectively.

Abstract
The toxicities of the herbicide glufosinate-ammonium to three predatory insect and two predatory mite species of Tetranychus urticae Koch were determined in the laboratory by the direct contact application. At a concentration of 540 ppm (a field application rate for weed control in apple orchards), glufosinate-ammonium was almost nontoxic to eggs of Amblyseius womersleyi Schicha, Phytoseiulus persimilis Athias-Henriot, and T. urticae but highly toxic to nymphs and adults of these three mite species, indicating that a common mode of action between predatory and phytophagous mites might be involved. In tests with predatory insects using 540 ppm, glufosinate-ammonium revealed little or no harm to larvae and pupae of Chrysopa pallens Rambur but was slightly harmful to eggs (71.2% mortality), nymphs (65.0% mortality), and adults (57.7% mortality) of Orius strigicollis Poppius. The herbicide showed no direct effect on eggs and adults of Harmonia axyridis (Pallas) but was harmful, slightly harmful, and harmless to first instars (100% mortality), fourth instars (51.1% mortality), and pupae (24.5% mortality), respectively. The larvae and nymphs of predators died within 12 h after treatment, suggesting that the larvicidal and nymphicidal action may be attributable to a direct effect rather than an inhibitory action of chitin synthesis. On the basis of our data, glufosinate-ammonium caused smaller effects on test predators than on T. urticae with the exception of P. persimilis, although the mechanism or cause of selectivity remains unknown. Glufosinate-ammonium merits further study as a key component of integrated pest management.

Abstract
The pharmacokinetics of YH1885 were evaluated after intravenous (iv) and oral administrations of the drug to rats and dogs. The reason for the low extent of bioavailability (F) of YH1885 after oral administration of the drug to rats and the absorption of the drug from various rat gastrointestinal (GI) segments were also investigated. After iv administration of YH1885, 5-20 mg kg(-1), to rats, the pharmacokinetic parameters of YH1885 seem to be independent of the drug at the dose ranges studied. After oral administration of YH1885, 50-200 mg kg(-1), to rats, the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to 12 or 24 h (AUC(0-12 h) or AUC(0-24 h)) was proportional to the oral dose of the drug, 50-100 mg kg(-1), however, the AUC(0-24 h) value at 200 mg kg(-1) increased with less proportion to the dose increase (324, 689, and 815 microg x min mL(-1) for 50, 100, and 200 mg kg(-1), respectively) due to the poor water solubility of the drug. This was proved by the considerable increase in the percentages of the oral dose remaining in the entire GI tract as unchanged YH1885 at 24 h (11.8, 15.3, and 42.8% for 50, 100, and 200 mg kg(-1), respectively). The F value after oral administration of YH1885 to rats was relatively low; the value was approximately 40% at the oral dose of 50 and 100 mg kg(-1). The reason for the low F in rats was investigated. The liver showed the highest metabolic activity for YH1885 based on an in vitro rat tissue homogenate study; hence, the liver first-pass effect was estimated. The value of AUC after intraportal administration of the drug, 5 mg kg(-1), was approximately 70% (116 versus 163 microg x min mL(-1)) of that after iv administration of the drug, 5 mg kg(-1), to rats; the liver first-pass effect of YH1885 in rats was estimated to be approximately 30%. The total body clearance of YH1885 after iv administration of the drug, 5-20 mg kg(-1), to rats were considerably lower than the cardiac output of rats, indicating that the lung and/or heart first-pass effect of YH1885 could be negligible in rats. After oral administration of YH1885, 50 and 100 mg kg(-1), to rats, the F value was approximately 40%, and approximately 15% of the oral dose was recovered from the entire GI tract as unchanged YH1885 at 24 h, and 30% of the oral dose disappeared with the liver first-pass effect. Therefore, the remainder, approximately 15% of the oral dose, could have disappeared with the small intestine first-pass effect and/or degradation of the drug in the GI tract. YH1885 was absorbed from ileum, duodenum, and jejunum of rat, however, YH1885 was under the detection limit in plasma when the drug was instilled into the rat stomach and large intestine. After iv administration of YH1885, 5-20 mg kg(-1), to dogs, the pharmacokinetic parameters of YH1885 also seemed to be independent of the drug at the dose ranges studied. However, after oral administration of YH1885, 0.5 and 2 g per whole body weight, to dogs, the AUC(0-10 h) values were not significantly different (96.8 versus 98.2 microg x min mL(-1)) and this could be due to the poor water-solubility of the drug. YH1885 was not detected in the urine after both iv and oral administration of the drug to both rats and dogs.

Abstract
Isopropyl-2-(1,3-dithietane-2-ylidene)-2-[N-(4-methylthiazol -2-yl)carbamoyl]acetate (YH439) is a novel dithioylidene malonate derivative developed for the treatment of hepatic injury. The compound has been found to down-regulate the expression of hepatic cytochrome P-450 2E1 (CYP2E1) at the transcriptional level (8). Certain organosulfur compounds present in garlic elicit protective effects on chemically induced carcinogenesis and mutagenesis and their chemopreventive activities are associated in part with inhibition of CYP2E1. As part of a program to determine the likely chemopreventive potential of YH439, we initially examined its effects on hepatotoxicity induced by vinyl carbamate (VC), a proximate carcinogen that is preferentially bioactivated by CYP2E1. A single i.p. injection of VC (125 mg/kg body wt) to male Sprague-Dawley rats resulted in severe hepatic lesions as demonstrated by elevated levels of serum enzymes such as alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase. Histopathological evaluation of liver sections from VC-treated animals revealed that the hepatic damage mainly consisted of centrilobular necrosis with sinusoidal congestion. Oral administration of YH439 (200 mg/kg body wt) to male Sprague-Dawley rats 2 days, 1 day and 4 h prior to VC completely prevented the hepatic damage caused by this carcinogen. In another experiment, rat hepatic microsome-mediated bacterial mutagenicity of VC was suppressed by YH439 in a dose-related manner. Furthermore, pretreatment of female CD-1 mice with YH439 by gastric intubation resulted in diminution of VC-induced skin carcinogenesis.

Abstract
Pharmacokinetic parameters of YH439 and its metabolites, M4, M5, and M7, were compared after iv administration of YH439 to rats (1-10 mg/kg), rabbits (1-10 mg/kg), and dogs (1-20 mg/kg) and oral administration of YH439 to rats (50-500 mg/kg) and dogs (0.5-2 g per whole body weight). After oral administration of YH439 to rats, the F values were 3.67, 1.33, and 0.859% for YH439 oral doses of 100, 300, and 500 mg/kg, respectively. However, the F value increased significantly, 21.2%, after oral administration of YH439-contained mixed micelles (10 mg as free YH439) to rats due to increased water solubility of YH439. Species differences in the pharmacokinetics of YH439 and its metabolites were found. First, M7 was detected in both plasma and urine after both iv and oral administration of YH439 to dogs, whereas it was detected neither in rats nor in rabbits, indicating that considerable amount of M7 was formed from YH439 only in dogs. Second, the AUC (or AUC0-->t) ratios of M4 to YH439 after iv administration of YH439 were 24.6-31.3, 42.2-49.2, and 2200-7640% for rats, rabbits, and dogs, respectively, indicating that formation of M4 after iv administration of YH439 was maximal in dogs. Third, the AUC (or AUC0-->t) ratios of M5 to YH439 after iv administration of YH439 were 103-127, 2.93-3.31, and 92.4-158% for rats, rabbits, and dogs, respectively, indicating that formation of M5 after iv administration of YH439 was minimal in rabbits.
