This paper analyzes welfare effects of revenue neutral tax reform using a small open economy dynamic general equilibrium model. We apply this model to the Korean data and examine welfare effects of various tax reforms; removal of capital income tax and/or labor income tax financed by consumption tax. We investigate both long run equilibrium and transitional dynamics. The results suggest that there are sizable welfare gains (1-3% of lifetime consumption) when factor income taxes are replaced by consumption tax. Overall gains are generated by long run gains despite short run welfare losses. However, there is welfare loss when capital income tax is replaced by labor income tax.

Using a multi-sector dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model, we investigate the dynamic effects of a variety of shocks to a small open economy. In particular, we calibrate the model to match the main characteristics of business cycles in Korea and analyze the effects of external shocks: the terms of trade and world real interest rate shocks. Business cycles in Korea more closely follow those of the G7 countries rather than Asian countries. The simulation results suggest that an improvement in the terms of trade has positive impact on investment, output and consumption, while a decrease in the world interest rate has a significant and positive effect on investment. This paper concludes that external shocks significantly influence business cycle fluctuations in Korea.

According to the bibliographic studies of Depilation, the following conditions were made after literary studies.; 1. According to the period, The depilation have been named variously, for example, Balta(髮墮), Balgu(髮去), Balrak(髮落), Mobal(毛拔), Yupung(油風), Dokchang(禿瘡), Guijidu(鬼?頭), Dokban(禿班), etc. 2. The cause of depilation was deficiency of kidney(腎虛), defciency of Qi of the lung(肺氣虛), excessive heat of blood system(血熱), deficiency of Qi and blood system(氣血虛), deficiency of blood system(血虛), and endogenouse cause of, etc. 3. The depilation is meaning fallen hair in head. There are multiform type in the symptoms of depilation; round shape, ellipse type & bald head. 4. The herbal treatment was used Yukmijihwaghwan(六味地黃丸), Palmihwan(八味丸), Singihwan(腎氣丸), Hwangigunjungtang(黃耆建中湯), Samultang(四物湯), ect. and external herbal reatment was Sineungyangjindan(神應養鎭丹), Bangpungtongsungsan(防風通聖散), ect.

We report a case of morphologically microgranular acute promyelocytic leukemia with PML/RARA fusion transcripts demonstrated by reverse transcriptase-PCR and cDNA sequencing, and no PML/RARA fusion detected by karyotype and FISH analyses. Karyotype was 47,XX,+8[19]/46,XX[1]. Although the newer FISH probes provide more accurate detections of t(15;17), it would be necessary to perform other molecular tests to further identify the masked PML/RARA fusions.

A case of acute monocytic leukemia (AMoL) by French-American-British (FAB) classification in a 63-year-old male showed the abnormal karyotype 46,XY,t(11;17)(q23;q21), previously reported as a variant translocation in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis identified a mixed lineage leukemia (MLL) gene rearrangement, but not visible disruptions of promyelocytic leukemia (PML) or retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARA) genes. We suggest that a certain gene proximal to RARA was rearranged in this case onto a gene close to MLL on chromosome 11q. Now, a few cases of AMoL with a similar translocation have been reported in the literature, and these cases emphasize the importance of cytogenetic and FISH studies in addition to morphology, cytochemistry, and immunophenotype in classifying acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
