<BODY style=\"FONT-SIZE: 9pt; MARGIN: 5px; FONT-FAMILY: gulim; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fff\"> [Maeil News] Feb 1, 2010 Yeungnam University Medical School sent its students to the South Florida University Hospital in Tampa, Florida of the US for two weeks from the 4th to 16th to study overseas clinical practices. This is the third overseas education program that started in 2008. Medical school students received clinical training in the division of infectious diseases, division of pulmonology, neurosurgery, and radiology at a university hospital in the US. This hospital is the third largest in Florida and the 9th largest in the US. Its medical sector is especially famous and is said to be the best among US universities for research and treatment on cancer and dementia. Students who returned from their program at the US university hospital talked about the level of medical school in the US. ◆Treatment took at least 30 minutes <P style=\"FLOAT: right; WIDTH: 312px; POSITION: relative; HEIGHT: 265px\"> ▲Yeungnam University Medical School students who completed their training at university hospitals in the US stated that there was basically no difference in the level of medical care between Daegu university hospitals and that of the US. Kim, Dong-han (23, junior, Yeungnam University College of Medicine) always wanted to experience university hospitals in the US and so he applied to the education program. Unlike Korea, the US has patients with various diseases. There were an especially high number of patients with AIDS and persons with gunshot wounds, which are not easy to come by in Korea. There were also many patients with high obesity weighing 200 to 300 kilograms. Kim stated, \"It was interesting to see patients and diseases that I only saw in books.\" Kim was surprised to see that 1 doctor would see 1 patient for at least 30 minutes. 1 doctor would only tend to about 20 patients per day. It is something that only Korean doctors, who tend to 40 patients in the morning alone, would highly desire. Kim stated, \"medical textbooks say that a reason for failure of treatment is because patients do not follow the instructions of doctors,\" and added \"it seems that the success rate for treatment is higher because of the intimate relationship between patients and doctors in the US.\" Just as he heard, medical expenses in the US was expensive. It cost 1,500 dollars for MRIs in the US. It is double or triple the amount of Korea. \"In a movie that critized the US medical policies, I saw a patient who lost his finger unable to receive surgery because of the high medical expenses. However, they do provide essential treatments regardless of the medical expenses even for people in poverty.\" Baek, Jong-yoon (24, junior, Yeungnam University College of Medicine) said that he was impressed to see that hospital rooms in the US was mostly made for 1 to 2 people. This is because many people share one room in Korea. There are partitions even for intensive-care rooms in the US. The fact that surgery departments were not popular while dermatology and plastic surgery was popular just like Korea also caught his attention. Baek stated, \"Just like Korea, applicants rushed towards certain departments in the US, but unlike Korea which has 4 year residency terms uniformly, the US had different terms for residencies depending on the department.\" Na, Ho-dong (23, junior, Yeungnam University College of Medicine) wanted to see for himself the US hospitals that he only saw in TV and movies. Na experienced surgery and outpatients at five departments including the surgery department, division of infectious diseases, and division of pulmonology. He was especially amazed at patients with gunshot wounds. However, while experiencing the medical system of the US, he felt that Korea\'s medical standards were very high. Na stated, \"I thought medicine in the US would be outstanding compared to the rest of the world, but after experiencing it for myself, it seems similar with that of the university hospitals of Daegu.\" ◆Medical standards similar with Korea Lee, Dong-gyu (25, Yeungnam University Hospital intern) went for training at a US university hospital three years ago. Lee was impressed with American doctors treating patients like their friends. Lee stated, \"The relationship between doctors and patients who made small talk aside from medical issues seemed very comfortable.\" Lee was also envious of the emergency room system of the US. Like Korea, US emergency rooms gave highest priority to myocardial infarction and strokes. However, the US provided concentrated treatment for patients with myocardial infarction or strokes in a separate room. Lee stated, \"The emergency patient treatment system is more advanced than that of Korea.\" However, he did not feel that the medical standards of Korea fell behind the US. Lee is confident that at least for radiology, Korea is more advanced than the US. Lee stated, \"Korea subdivides radiology in different divisions such as nuclear medicine, but the US does not,\" and also added \"Because MRI and CT is expensive in the US, people do not get them, and thus, their ability to make diagnosis falls behind Korea.\" He also stated that the level for surgery was similar in the two countries. \"It hurts to see that patients living in local areas prefer hospitals in Seoul and abroad. After experiencing the medical standards of the US, there was no difference in the skill level. That is why I decided to stay in Daegu for my internship rather than going to Seoul.\"

<BODY style=\"FONT-SIZE: 9pt; MARGIN: 5px; FONT-FAMILY: gulim; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fff\"> Professor Kim, Jong-joo\'s team of the School of Biotechnology discovered the comprehensive DNA information of Hanwoo (Korean native cattle) through genome ciphering Procured source technology information for distinguishing Hanwoo quality and improving productivity [Jan 28, 2010] In order to enhance the competitiveness of our livestock industry in this age of unlimited competition evoked by the signing of the FTA, development of original technologies are more important now than ever, and the green light has been turned on for product distinguishing and productivity improvement for sustained development and assurance of competitiveness for the Hanwoo industry. Recently, Professor Kim, Jong-joo (43, School of Biotechnology) of Yeungnam University became the first in the world to cipher the genetic sequencing of Hanwoo genomes, and thus discovered 3.1 million SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism). <A class=imageUtil id=thumb_06615741764474274 onclick=\"return hs.run(this)\" href=\"http://www.yu.ac.kr/_yboard/cheditor/show_image.php?im=2010-04-21_09-15-07_495.jpg\" target=_blank> Pioneers in Hanwoo genome research (From left to right, Choi, Nam-woo, CEO of Insilicogen, Professor Kim, Jong-joo of Yeungnam university, Professor Kim, Gwan-seok of Chungbuk National University, Myung, Hyun-goon, CEO of Solgent) According to this, as the results of the industry-academic joint research conducted by Professors Kim, Nae-soo and Kim, Gwan-seok of Chungbuk National University, and Insilicogen and Solgent, with the support of the Korea Institute of Planning and Evaluation For Technology of Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (director Jeong, Seung), it has decoded the Hanwoo DNA sequence that corresponds to 92% of the standard sequence of cattle registered in the US National Center of Biological Information (NCBI). In addition, Professor Kim\'s team discovered approximately 3.1 million SNP and Indels within the Hanwoo genome sequence. Of them 28% were already revealed in tests and overlaps with the NCBI cattle that were registered in the database for SNP (dbSNP). However, 72% of the SNP were newly revealed. Thus, it is expected that it will provide basic information for research on various genetic changes for other types of cows as well. In the case of humans, SNP contains not only the genetic information that determines individual characters such as figure, body type and temperament, but also contains genetic information that is the basis of genetic diseases such as cancer and hypertension. Thus, it can be said that studies on SNP will be critical for treating customized genetic diseases and developing new medicines. Likewise, sufficient research on Hanwoo SNP must first take place in order to conduct studies on the diseases and economic traits (breeding, growth, meat quality) of Hanwoo, and for conducting grading of Hanwoo and using production history systems. However, only a few dozen SNPs were used in related research until now, and the main reason for this is because the discovery of SNPs in Hanwoo genomes was very limited. Thus, by discovering almost all the SNP in Hanwoo genomes, it is expected to greatly contribute in revealing the genetic secrets of Hanwoo. Furthermore, it is expected to ▲ define the genes related to the breeding, growth and meat quality of Hanwoo so to greatly contribute in the productivity of Hanwoo, ▲ provide basic genetic information in picking out beef, containing the high quality meat and wellbeing elements (unsaturated fatty acid contents, low-cholesterol, CLA, etc) that consumers want, ▲ improving Hanwoo that can be utilized for prevention of global warming and for green growth business by defining genes that can enhance the feed efficiency of Hanwoo and reducing the generation of methane and excrements, ▲ provide basic genetic information on genetic disease studies of Hanwoo and of mad cow disease, ▲ utilize genetic resources that enhance accuracy of Hanwoo beef identification, ▲ and improve the DNA information resources used for production history of Hanwoo and tracing their distribution route. Professor Kim added emphasis stating, \"In order for us to find the superior genomes of Hanwoo by making comparisons and analysis of foreign cows, we must reveal the comprehensive genome information of Hanwoo and develop the way to utilize it, and this study should provide the source information for it.\" Professor Kim\'s team will continue to conduct research to improve the completeness and accuracy of the genome sequence based on the results of this study, and continue define the detailed features of SNP. The results of the study are scheduled to be reported through major theses and webpages. In addition, in order to utilize the results of this study commercially, plans are being made to find the SNP that is linked to better meat quality and tastes of Hanwoo and to commercialize it as DNA chips. The \'next-generation genetic sequencing analysis method\', which was used in this study is to acquire vast amounts of data, by cutting the entire sequence of the genomes randomly to 280bp, and then by sequencing random fragments. Using this, Professor Kim\'s team used Hanwoo genomes of 10 individuals and sequenced DNA fragments that are 17 times that of the genetic sequencing with sizes of the cow genes being 3x109bp. This was then assembled to the standard sequence of the cow registered in the NCBI to analyze the genetic sequence of Hanwoo.

Professor Cho, Kyung-hyun (42, photo) of Yeungnam University School of Biotechnology developed the methods to greatly improve the delivery efficiency of the existing \'genetic treatment medicine\' and to sharply lower the financial burden while also enhancing the distribution potential, for the first time in the world. \'Gene treatment medicine\' is a method for supplying genes that have been lost for effectively treating various diseases caused by damaged or missing DNA. Thus, the key is on how outside genes can be effectively delivered to the inside of the cell. Currently, the most widely used method is gene transfer method using an \'adenovirus\', but because it is unstable in room temperature, it has short distribution periods, and its problem with the gene delivery abilities weakened in the blood makes it an obstacle in treating incurable diseases. Thus, Professor Cho used nano bio-technologies to make proteoliposomes with phospholipids and apolipoproteins, covering the adenovirus in order to improve gene delivery efficiency by 10 folds, while doubling the stability, proving it for the first time in the world in vertebrae models. The results of this study that was conducted for three years since 2007 receiving support by the Yeungnam University Aging-associated Vascular Disease Research Center (director, Kim, Jae-ryong) and the Ministry of Knowledge Economy (Minister Choi, Kyung-hwan) and it was published in the January 2010 volume of <Human Gene Therapy>, which is an SCI-level journal in the gene treatment sector. This journal, which received an impact factor of 4.1 in the biology and medical sector, was selected as \"Top 100 influential journals in medicine and biology for the past 100 years\' by the 2009 World Library Association. The results of the research of Professor Cho is expected to greatly contribute to the improved delivery efficiency of adenoviruses, but all other medicine delivery devices and genetic treatment medicines such as RNA inhibitors, plasmid DNA, aptamer, etc. Thus, the research team has registered relevant patents, and is currently negotiating with domestic and foreign gene treatment medicine production companies for technology transfer. In particular, this research is expected to be a period of great development in the recently rising \'bio-similar pharmaceutical industry\'. \'Bio-similar\' refers to reproductive medicines related to protein compounds among pharmaceuticals whose patents have expired. When new medicines are developed, international patents usually last 20-25 years. Most original medicines being worth about 1 billion US $ have their patents expired between 2012 and 2013, and thus many companies are preparing in the competition to develop bio-similars, which are a type of reproductive generic medicine. The market scale is estimated at approximately 30 billion US $. Thus, if the results of this study is used for domestic bio-similar pharmaceutical industry, it is expected to provide epochal improvements in its international competitiveness. Meanwhile, Professor Cho is furthering his studies on genetic treatment medicine that could be used for not only killing cancer cells, but utilizing it as the atherosclerosis and aging models based on this research results.

He proved that fructose changed the structure and functions of key proteins in the blood to cause and promote diabetes, atherosclerosis and aging, and defined its mechanism, he placed his name as the main author on the January 2010 issue of BBRC (Biochemical Biophysical Research Communication), which is an SCI international journal. In particular, by being the world\'s first to define the aging acceleration mechanism of fructose in this thesis, the academic circle is showing high interest. This is because fructose, the sweetest sugar, is used as a sweetener of sodas and fast food and is consumed usually. Accordingly, the research that has been conducted under the support of the Korea Foundation for the Advancement of Science\'s URP (Undergraduate Research Program) and the Yeungnam University Aging-associated Vascular Disease Research Center since January of last year, resulted in patent pending for development of inhibitors of metabolic syndromes such as aging suppression, diabetes and atherosclerosis. It is very rare for an undergraduate to publish SCI theses. It is even more rare that he placed his name as the main author in the international SCI journal and the results ended up in applying for patents. However, this has happened twice in the research lab of Professor Cho, Kyung-hyun in the School of Biotechnology. Two years ago, as a senior at that time Park, Gi-hoon (24, 2nd batch of MA/PhD integrated course) placed his name as the main author on the thesis that revealed that proteins extracted from Hyphantria cunea could be used as treatment for atherosclerosis in the December 2008 issue of the 2nd most prominent SCI journal, Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology. Park is the co-author of this thesis together with Jang, Wook-joo. The two students stated, \"While conducting research, we learned the danger of sweet tastes.\" They also said, \"It was tough having to work all day long at the lab without any days off, but we were cheered by belief that our research could bring health and happiness to many people,\" and added, \"I hope our belief in our lab will result in better achievements, and hope that our junior students will also publish their works on SCI journals.\" Professor Cho, Kyung-hyun (41), who instructed them, stated, \"Gi-hoon set a good example of diligence coming into the lab at 7:30 everyday to turn the lights on and leaving at 10pm turning the lights off. Wook-joo made his good example and was able to work even harder.\" Cho also added, \"I am happy and grateful to my students who show their ability to surpass me.\"

<BODY style=\"FONT-SIZE: 9pt; MARGIN: 5px; FONT-FAMILY: gulim; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fff\"> [Jan 4, 2010] Yeungnam University(president Lee, Hyo-soo) acquired \'ABEEK certification\' for all engineering education programs, and is playing its cards against the difficulties in employment by fostering \'certified engineers\'. Yeungnam University, which became the first in Korea to receive \'ABEEK certification in three engineering schools in November 2001 with the School of Architecture, School of Mechanical Engineering and School of Display and Chemical Engineering, recently acquired ABEEK certification for all 12 engineering education programs. This is a record in the \'Korean\'s greatest number\' of ABEEK certification. Thus, a total of 12 ABEEK certified programs will be offered from this spring: 7 programs in the college of engineering (Civil Engineering, Mechanical System, Mechanical Design, Mechanical Advanced Engineering, Materials Science and Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Display and Chemical Engineering), 3 programs in the School of Electronic Engineering, Communication Engineering and Computer Science (Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, Information and Communication Engineering), School of Textiles (Fibers and Nano Materials Engineering) and School of Architecture. In particular, the Mechanical System, Mechanical Design, Display and Chemical Engineering progrmas, which have been offered since 2001, was recognized for its excellence and have already received certification in the NGR evaluation (Next General Review). \'ABEEK certification\' is a certificate given to students who completed engineering education programs according to the education objectives, standards and guidelines set by ‘ABEEK’(Accreditation Board for Engineering Education of Korea, director, Yun, Jong-yong) and is basically a \'quality certification mark\' for engineering education. ABEEK, which was established in 1999 modeled after the ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) of the US, requires the satisfaction of a total of 8 certification standards: program\'s educational objective, program learning performance and evaluation, curriculum area, student, faculty, education environment, education improvement, and standards per field of major. Accordingly, Yeungnam University became the first local university to install the \'Engineering Education Innovation Center\' and reorganized the engineering education composition, improved the education environment, and developed a consumer-oriented curriculum and teaching method to innovate the overall engineering education. In May 2007, on-site investigations for a total of 12 engineering education programs, including the 3 departments in the past, were performed. In addition, by linking the ABEEK certification system with the graduation certification system in 2006, over 700 engineering students received ABEEK certification at the time of their graduation, and from 2010, when the 12 programs will be in full operation, annually 700 students are expected to graduate receiving ABEEK certification. Currently, those who completed the ABEEK certification program are the most popular employment candidate from related companies. In addition, by Korea becoming a member of the Washington Accord from 2007, students who completed ABEEK certification programs are qualified to apply to technician tests in 12 advanced nations including the US, England, Australia, and Canada, and when looking for jobs overseas, they are recognized as having the same educational background with local university graduates. On this, Shim, Jae-jin (52, School of Display and Chemical Engineering), director of the Engineering Education Innovation Center, emphasized its need by stating, \"In order to receive ABEEK certification, it requires much effort and investment such as complete innovation of the existing educational curriculum and teaching method. However, it is a requirement that cannot be delayed. This is because under an engineering education system that graduates students merely fill up their credit units, it is impossible to foster engineers demanded by the society.\" Meanwhile, as of November 2009, there are 275 programs in 41 universities that offer ABEEK certified programs in Korea.

<BODY style=\"FONT-SIZE: 9pt; MARGIN: 5px; FONT-FAMILY: gulim; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #fff\"> Signed the \'Industry-Academic Employment Agreement\' with LG Electronics and LG Display Every year 20 employment opportunities guaranteed from new students of 2010 [Dec 17, 2009] <A class=imageUtil id=thumb_006826262671059063 onclick=\"return hs.run(this)\" href=\"http://www.yu.ac.kr/_yboard/cheditor/show_image.php?im=2010-03-29_16-57-47_495.jpg\" target=_blank> Cho, Gwan-sik (left), executive director of LG Electronics, and Cho, Kye-Hyun, dean of External Cooperation of Yeungnam University, is signing an agreement for industry-academic cooperation education and employment guarantee of the \'Major of Green Energy Association\'. Students majoring in \'Green Energy Association\' at Yeungnam University are guaranteed employment at large conglomerates at the time of their admission. Yeungnam University (president Lee, Hyo-soo) signed an \'industry-academic employment agreement\' with LG Electronics (CEO, Nam, Yong) at the LG Electronics Institute of Technology in the morning of the 17th. With the agreement on the promotion of the industry-academic cooperation education and the employment to foster on-site type engineering human resources, Yeungnam University and LG Electronics organized an \'industry-academic cooperation operation committee\' and agreed to focus on fostering excellent engineering HR through customized education programs. In particular, LG Electronics promised to hire five students majoring in the \'Green Energy Association\' that will be newly established in 2010. On the 26th of last month, an \'industrial-academic employment agreement\' was also concluded with LG Display (CEO Kwon, Yeong-soo) and pledged to hire 15 students every year among those majoring in the \'Green Energy Association\'. Thus, 20 of the 25 student (80%) for the Yeungnam University \'Major of Green Energy Association\' that will be newly created in 2010 will be guaranteed employment in LG Electronics and LG Display immediately after graduating. Lee, Hyo-soo, president of Yeungnam University, stated that, \"The goal of this is for mutual win-win by the university fostering excellent human resources fitting the requirements of the company, and by the company trusting in the university and employing its students.\" He also added, \"Since students majoring in Green Energy Association do not have to spend their time preparing to find a job, they will be able to devote more of their time to schoolwork.\" Meanwhile, the \'Major of Green Energy Association\' selected a total of 25 students in the 2010; students quota are 4 from the Department of Physics, 7 from the School of Mechanical Engineering Major of Mechanical Advanced Engineering, 7 from the School of Materials Science and Engineering, and 7 from the School of Display and Chemical Engineering. A special feature of this is that professors of different majors will be lecturing and providing student guidance in unison to foster experts in the \'green energy\' sector, which is yet an untouched field through fusion-convergence between different academic disciplines. Because students in the Major of Green Energy Association can acquire two diplomas at the time of their graduation, they will attain more competitive edge. This is because in this era where more than 85% of high school graduates go on to universities, one cannot be competitive with a normal diploma. In addition, new students in the \'Major of Green Energy Association\' receive full scholarships, and also the special opportunity to study abroad for a short period. Applicants for this major must be in the top 23% for language, math, foreign language, and science (average of 3 subjects).
