Behavior

Visualizing Motion Patterns in Acupuncture Manipulation

Ye-Seul Lee¹, Won-Mo Jung¹, In-Seon Lee¹, Hyangsook Lee¹, Hi-Joon Park¹, Younbyoung Chae¹

¹Acupuncture and Meridian Science Research Center, College of Korean Medicine, Kyung Hee University

Here, we present a protocol for using the Acupuncture Manipulation Education System (AMES) in the training of acupuncture manipulation skills using phantom acupoints.

Engineering

Design and Evaluation of Smart Glasses for Food Intake and Physical Activity Classification

Jungman Chung¹, Wonjoon Oh², Dongyoub Baek³, Sunwoong Ryu², Won Gu Lee⁴, Hyunwoo Bang²

¹School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Seoul National University, ²Envisible, Inc., ³Curiosis, Inc., ⁴Department of Mechanical Engineering, Kyung Hee University

This study presents a protocol of designing and manufacturing a glasses-type wearable device that detects the patterns of food intake and other featured physical activities using load cells inserted in both hinges of the glasses.

We present a protocol for the synthesis of C5 sugars (xylose and arabinose) from a renewable non-edible lignocellulosic biomass (i.e., jute) with the presence of Brønsted acidic ionic liquids (BAILs) as the catalyst in water. The BAILs catalyst exhibited better catalytic performance than conventional mineral acid catalysts (H₂SO₄ and HCl).

Electrocardiogram Recordings in Anesthetized Mice using Lead II

Tae Woong Ha¹, Bermseok Oh^*1, Ji-One Kang^*1

¹Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, School of Medicine, Kyung Hee University

We present an ECG protocol that is technically easy, inexpensive, fast, and affordable in small mice, and can be performed with enhanced sensitivity. We suggest this method as a screening approach for studying pharmacological agents, genetic modifications, and disease models in mice.

Biology

Isolation of Epithelial Cells from Human Dental Follicle

Hyosun Jung¹, Jin-Kyu Yi^1,2

¹Department of Conservative Dentistry, Kyung Hee University Dental Hospital at Gangdong, ²Department of Conservative Dentistry, School of Dentistry, Kyung Hee University

The dental follicle contains an epithelial population and mesenchymal cells. The epithelial population was selected from the heterogeneous dental follicle cell population by providing a distinct culture medium. Epithelial cells survived and formed colonies in a serum-free medium.

Medicine

Reliability of Artificial Intelligence-Based Cone Beam Computed Tomography Integration with Digital Dental Images

Ju-Heon Lee^*1, Nam-Ki Lee^*1, Bingshuang Zou², Jae Hyun Park^3,4, Tae-Hyun Choi¹

¹Department of Orthodontics, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, ²Division of Orthodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, University of British Columbia, ³Postgraduate Orthodontic Program, Arizona School of Dentistry & Oral Health, A. T. Still University, ⁴Graduate School of Dentistry, Kyung Hee University

A process of registering cone-beam computed tomography scans and digital dental images has been presented using artificial intelligence (AI) -assisted identification of landmarks and merging. A comparison with surface-based registration shows that AI-based digitization and integration are reliable and reproducible.

Neuroscience

Monitoring Blood-Brain Barrier Opening in Rats with a Preclinical Focused Ultrasound System

Kisoo Kim^1,2, Marco Gallus³, Tianrun Xiao¹, Akshay S. Parchure⁴, Bhavya R. Shah⁴, Hideho Okada³, Chris Diederich⁵, Eugene Ozhinsky^*1, Kazim Narsinh^*1

¹Department of Radiology & Biomedical Imaging, University of California, San Francisco, ²Department of Biomedical Engineering, Kyung Hee University, ³Department of Neurological Surgery, University of California, San Francisco, ⁴University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, ⁵Department of Radiation Oncology, University of California, San Francisco

This study describes a combined magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and low-intensity pulsed focused ultrasound (FUS) protocol, utilizing living rats with jugular vein catheterization to monitor blood-brain barrier (BBB) opening.
