Abstract: Proposed is an electric vehicle air conditioning system and a control method therefor, the air conditioning system being capable of preventing a phenomenon in which flash fogging occurs on a windshield. The method for the electric vehicle air conditioning system includes determining whether a current air conditioning mode is set to a cooling mode or a heating mode, determining whether a request for entering an internal heat exchanger dry mode is received when the current air conditioning mode is set to the heating mode, entering the internal heat exchanger dry mode and performing an drying operation of an internal heat exchanger for a predetermined time when the request for entering the internal heat exchanger dry mode is received, and operating a set normal heating mode when the internal heat exchanger dry mode is finished.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method, a composition, and a kit for preoperative prediction of prognosis after liver cancer surgery at an early stage by detecting, in a blood sample obtained from a liver cancer patient prior to surgery, an SORD marker, or an SORD marker together with an AFP marker.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for identifying latent obesity, and may include the steps of providing a user with an orientation assessment questionnaire configured to measure a plurality of independent orientation parameters, including perception orientation, conception orientation, and behavioral orientation; providing the user with an obesity assessment questionnaire configured to measure health characteristics, including personal health history, current health, and awareness of personal health; receiving user input in response to the orientation assessment questionnaire and the obesity assessment questionnaire; for each of the independent orientation parameters, computing a corresponding orientation metric according to the user input in response to the orientation assessment questionnaire; for each of a plurality of health characteristics, computing a corresponding health metric according to the user input in response to the obesity assessment questionnaire; in accordance with the computed ori

Abstract: The present invention relates to an artificial cartilage containing mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-like dedifferentiated cells obtained by passage culturing costal chondrocytes, and a preparation process thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a preparation method for a therapeutic agent of a bead-type chondrocyte and, more specifically, to: a preparation method for a therapeutic agent of a bead-type chondrocyte without a support, comprising the steps of: a) dispensing chondrocytes and/or cells having chondrogenic differentiation capability in a 96-well deep well plate having a V-shaped bottom; b) centrifuging the plate; c) three-dimensionally culturing the plate in an incubator; and d) recovering pellets from each well, thereby being capable of easily and stably preparing cartilage tissues of a uniform quality, in large quantities; and a therapeutic agent of a bead-type chondrocyte without a support, prepared by the method, having effectiveness to repair damage by simply being implanted into cartilage damage by injection.
