- Professor Lee Eui-Kyung's research team and Professor Shin Ju-Young publishes a paper in 'JACI: in practice'
- Professor Lee Eui-Kyung's research team and Professor Shin Ju-Young published their cost-effectiveness evaluation on use of tiotropium in elderly patients with severe asthma in Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology-In Practice (JACI: in practice, IF = 7.574), a third leading journal in the field of allergy, on December 7th, 2020. The team utilized database obtained from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service(HIRA) and confirmed that addition of tiotropium to ICS/LABA for elderly patients with severe asthma reduced the risk of asthman exacerbation. Elderly patients with severe asthma are usually excluded from randomized clinical trails(RCTs) due to comorbidities and multiple drug use. Following the thesis, they conducted a cost-effectiveness evaluation and concluded that the addition of tiotropium shows a higher cost-effectiveenss profile. These results using real-world evidence provide information beyond the clinical outcomes reported by randomized controlled trials, providing a complementary ground in establishing the reimbursement criteria of tiotropium for elderly patients with severe asthma. Title: Cost-effectiveness of tiotropium in elderly patients with severe asthma using real-world data

- Professor Lee Eui Kyung publishes a paper in the journal 'GUT'
- Professor Lee Eui-kyung (co-corresponding author), Dr. Kim Hye-rin (First author, currently working at SahmYook University), Dr. Park Jae-A and Dr. Kang Hye-Rim (co-authors) published a study evaluating the cost effectiveness of drug treatment in chronic hepatitis B patients in the field "GUT (IF 19.819, ranked 3rd in the field of Gastroenterology & Hepatology journal)". Professor Lee Eui Kyung's research team cooperated with Professor Lim Young-seok's research team at Asan Medical Center in Seoul to start treatment of antiviral drugs in patients with chronic hepatitis B. We evaluated the cost effectiveness between alternatives with activators. As a result, it is more expensive to start treatment quickly from immune tractors, which have been considered relatively stable than the current guidelines, but it is cost effective because it reduces the incidence of hepatocyte cancer, which results in high medical costs. Professor Lee Eui Kyung explained, "It has been announced at a time of great interest in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B at the clinical site, so it is expected to be used as a good basis for clinicians' choice of drug treatment and setting insurance benefit standards." The research was supported by Health Technology Research & Development program, funded by the Ministry of Health and Welfare(MoHW).

- Professor Kim In Su's research team publishes cover paper of JACS
- A research team led by Professor In Su Kim from the School of Pharmacy, Sungkyunkwan University (President: Dong Ryeol Shin); Professor Jung Su Park from the School of Chemistry, Sookmyung Women’s University and Professor Jonathan L. Sessler from the School of Chemistry, University of Texas, Austin, U.S. developed the world's first ratiometric fluorescence amplification sensor that can selectively detect nitro-explosive compounds. The findings were selected as a cover page in the October issue of the online edition of Journal of the American Chemical Society (IF = 14.612), a world-renowned journal in the field of chemistry. Nitroaromatic compounds are known to be explosive substances that react vigorously, releasing toxic gases in the atmosphere. Typical explosive substances as trinitrotoluene (TNT) and nitromethane are currently being used as basic raw materials for the manufacture of explosives, including gunpowder. Nitroaromatic compounds are also part of pharmaceutical manufacturing processes of several APIs such as nifedipine, sildenafil (Viagra) etc. Such class of compounds require special attention while handling as they may cause explosion as a result of heat or impact. In this study, Professor In Su Kim's research team and collaborators developed the world's first fluorescence amplifier sensor that can selectively adopt various nitroaromatic compounds by fluorescence indicator displacement assay method depending on binding affinities. In particular, a method was proposed to detect identifiable rate-measurable wavelength changes depending on the type of nitro-compound. Previously reported nitroaromatic sensors rely on fluorescence quenching technique with a simple reduction in luminescence intensity. Lower sensitivity, lack of selectivity and false positives are perceived as major drawbacks related to the previously known sensors as compared to the fluorescence amplification sensors. Professor Kim In Su said, "This study resulted in the development of a new technology that can selectively detect explosive nitro-compounds, especially fluorescence amplification can be visually identified and this technology can be used to develop small explosive detection sensors, that are easy to carry, in the future." This research was conducted with financial support from the National Research Foundation of Korea and the Ministry of Science and ICT (MSIT).
