Abstract: A composition for strengthening, developing, differentiating, or regenerating muscle, or preventing, ameliorating, or treating muscle loss or muscle fatigue includes a Schizonepeta tenuifolia extract as an effective component. The Schizonepeta tenuifolia extract as an effective component has the effects of restoring the viability of muscle cells, increasing the endurance time on the rotarod performance test, i.e., the holding time without falling off from the rod, compared to the control group, reducing the content of LDH, AST, and ALT in blood, increasing the grip strength, enhancing the expression amount of energy metabolism-related genes in muscle tissues, increasing the density of muscle fibers in muscle tissues, inducing a change in the fibroblast arrangement to have a well-organized structure, and reducing the expression of MuRF1 in muscle tissues, as compared to the control group.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for the diagnosis of a degenerative brain disease, comprising hpmA, which is a substance derived from Proteus, Shigella, Klebsiella pneumoniae, or Citrobacter, preferably a Proteus mirabilis strain, from a biological sample of a subject. In addition, the present invention relates to a method for providing information for the diagnosis of a degenerative brain disease such as Parkinson's disease, brain neuritis (neuroinflammation), or Alzheimer's disease, by measuring the amount of hpmA.

Abstract: A technique forwards handover data in a wireless communication system. A base station apparatus includes a first buffer for storing downlink data of a terminal, a handover agent for, when the terminal performs a handover, performing scheduling on data which is stored in the first buffer for at least one terminal including the terminal that performs the handover so that an interruption time of the at least one terminal is reduced in order to forward the data to a target base station, and a communication unit for transmitting the data according to a scheduling result of the handover agent.

Abstract: A method and apparatus manage a buffer of a lower network node in a communication system. A current queue length of the buffer is monitored in every measurement time. A logical region in which the current queue length is included is determined, among a plurality of logical regions included in the buffer. Each of the logical regions corresponds to a queue length determined by using an upper threshold and a lower threshold of a total queue length of the buffer. A congestion state of a network is detected, and a first queue length is readjusted when the current queue length is included in the first queue length which corresponds to a first logical region that exceeds the upper threshold. And a network congestion state signal that represents the detected congestion state of the network is transmitted to the upper network node.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for flow control between a Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) layer and a Radio Link Control (RLC) layer in a communication system are provided. The method includes storing Service Data Units (SDUs) to be transferred to the RLC layer, receiving information on a capacity that is currently unused in a buffer of the RLC layer from the RLC layer, and generating Packet Data Units (PDUs) from SDUs, a capacity of which corresponds to the information, among packets stored in a buffer of the PDCP layer, and then transferring the generated PDUs to the RLC layer.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus of a serving base station for determining handover of a terminal in a mobile communications system are provided, including determining whether a measurement report message is received from a User Equipment (UE); when receiving the measurement report message, determining whether a channel status value of the UE satisfies a preset condition during a certain time; and determining whether to hand over the UE according to the determination result.

Abstract: A method for performing congestion control in a communication system. The method includes transmitting a request message to a node using a first packet with a highest priority and receiving a response message corresponding to the request message using the first packet and at least one of a plurality of second packets, estimating a one-way delay of the first packet according to a round trip time for the first packet, converting one of the one-way delay of the first packet and the one-way delay of at least one of the plurality of second packets into a quality of service (QoS) level using a predetermined upper delay bound for a corresponding packet, and converting the converted QoS level into an effective congestion level representing a congestion degree in a network and performing congestion control using the effective congestion level.
