Traditional village forests in Jeju Island represent unique cultural landscape with a history of more than several hundred years as a national cultural asset in Korea. In this paper, the characteristics and meaning of traditional village forests in Jeju Island was compared with the Dangsan and Bibo forests at inland. There are 368 Oreums, parasitic volcano, and 391 shrines of Dang(Divine place) in Jeju. Life, culture and tradition of rural villages are all connected with the Dang and Oreum in Jeju. It has been found from this study that the village in Jeju were established as a cultural landscape on the surface of natural landscape. The features of traditional villages focused on the Dang and Oreum in Jeju Island were similar to the Dangsan and Bibo forestsat inland villages. The Oreum represents mountain and the Pojedan forest is newly found in Sangmyung-ri. The seashore areas are covered by vaocanic rocks in Jeju and large scale windbreaks are hardly found. The stone tower at Sinheung-ri built for blocking sand movement represents Bibo forest. The special attribute of the Dang in Jeju is that it is close to real life and believers are still remain. In 2009, the Jeju Chilmeoridang Yeongdeunggut ritual was nominated as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. The shrine of Dang, however, has been degraded fast by construction of seashore road and Jeju Olle trail path. As for the world cultural heritage discussed at international conferences, it is important that there is sustainability on the right to enjoy cultural heritage. Integrated efforts from local residents, local governments and national government are needed to set up a management scheme for the Dang culture. Rural villages in Jeju with the Dang and Oreum are expected to get an international attention as to have traditional cultural landscapes of Korea.

요꼬가와흡충을 수감염시켰을 태의 탕병증을 관찰하고자 은어로부터 분리한 피예유충을 모두 20마리의 개를 복용하여 인공감염 실험을 실시하였다. 이들 개를 대조군, 감염군, 재감염군으로 나눈 다음 18마리의 개에 10,000개씩 피설유충을 일차감염시켜 그중 5마리는 5일, 1주, 4주 및 6주에 도살하였으며 9주후에 다시 5,000개의 피예유충을 먹인 재감락수의 개 13마리는 1일, 3일, 5일, 1주, 2주, 4주, 6주 및 8주에 각각 도살하였다. 일차감염군과 재감염군에 있어서 충체회수률과 분포를 관찰하였다. 또한 이들 사병변의 소견을 호오적, 광학현미경 및 주사현미경적으로 관찰하였다. 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 충체회수률은 일차감염군에서 19.8%∼37.8%로 평균 충체회수률은 28.9%이었다. 한편 재감염상의 1일, 3일 및 5일에서의 미성숙 충체회수률은 6.3%∼16.3%로 평균 충체회수률은 12.9%이었으며, 성숙 충체회수률은 21.4%∼26.2%로 평균 충체회수률은 23.6%로 나타나 미성숙충체와 성숙충체 회수률의 비는 1 : 1.83이었다. 충체의 기생부위는 일차감염군에서 십이지장, 공장 및 회장상부에 한정되었으나 재감염군에서는 회장하부까지 연장되었다. 2. 상한적 병리소견으로 장관의 확장, 가로주름의 소실, 개수상의 장내용물, 장막림프절 및 Peyer씨 림프조직의 고대가 일차감영군의 5일 및 1주에 나타났으나 4주후에는 거의 소실되었다. 재감염군에서도 이들 소견이 초기에 나타났으나 일차감염군과 비교하면 그 소견이 농징하였으며 2주후에는 소실되었다. 3. 현징경적 병리소견으로 초기의 병변은 소정막에 국한되었으며 선와상피의 비후를 동반한 융모위축과 기질와 변화, 염증세계침윤 및 부종형성이 관찰되었다. 한편 재감염군에 있어서 정막 특히 섬모의 변화는 일차감염군과 비교할 때 그 소견이 경미하였다. 4. 주사현미경적으로 일차감염군에 있어서 섬모위축이 재확인되었으며 융모사이에서 충체를 발견할 수 있었다. 6주후에는 섬모가 거의 정상상태로 회복되었다. 그러나 재감량변에서 융모변화는 그 정도가 심하지 않았다. 이상의 결과에서 소위 자가치유 또는 자연치유 현상은 개의 요꼬가와흡충의 일차감염군과 재감염군에서 나타나지 않았다. 장병변의 경시적 관찰을 통하여 숙주면역은 요점막 회복에 관여하는 것 같았으며 특히 미성숙충체의 Lieberkiihn씨 선준 침입이 융모의 병적 변화에 일차적 원인일 것으로 추측하였다.

Schistosomiasis is a snail-transmitted trematodiasis acquired by immersion in water which contains the cercariae. In Korea, six imported cases of urinary schistosomiasis by Schistosomc haematobium and one case of imported cerebral schistosomiasis by S. mansoni were reported. Herein we report a case of S. monsoni infecting rectum of a 46 year-old Korean male, who had been to Saudi Arabia for two years. On colonoscopy for routine physical check up, a 0.4 cm polyp in the rectum was detected and biopsy was done. Microscopically, rectal mucosa showed several granulomas which were composed of macrophages, Iymphocytes, neutrophils and eosinophils. The center of each granuloma showed an ovoid egg often containing miracidium. The eggs measured 130 × 60 ㎛ in average size. They had yellowish-brown transparent shell loth the characteristic lateral spille. This is the 8th imported case of schistosomiasis in Korea and the second one infected by S. mansoni. Key words: Schistosomc mansoni, rectum, Korea, imported case.

We investigated the ecological characteristics of Jilmoe-neup conservation area which is one of wetlands designated as a Ramsar convention site in Mt. Odae from 2007 to 2011. Average out-flow of water was 0.80 $m^3/min$ during observation period. Average pH of water was 6.1, electric conductivity was 19 ${\mu}S/cm$ and contents of potassium, calcium and ammonium, nitrate and available phosphorus in water were recorded below average 2.0 mg/L. Peat layer was less developed than in other montane wetlands such as Yong-neup and Wangdeungjae-neup. Plants were recorded as 49 family, 118 genus, 163 species, 3 subspecies, 29 variety and 6 forma, total 163 taxa. Trientalis europaea L., which was designated in endangered level 2 by Ministry of Environment, inhabited at Sphagnum dominated area and Carex tussocks. Vegetation analysis showed that dominance value was changed as species distribution area were increased or decreased periodically. Although Jilmoe-neup deserved conservation value for Sphagnum fen which has diverse flora, it was affected from various factors such as ranch in the vicinity. Therefore, it must be monitored and managed continuously.

A twisted inverted-F antenna(TIFA) is proposed for a dual-band application. The TIFA features a twisted line for dual bands and a parasitic line for additional resonance. The proposed antenna has wideband characteristics at the high frequency band due to the merge of the resonances of the twisted line and the parasitic line. The electric size of the antenna is $0.109{\lambda}{\times}0.025{\lambda}{\times}0.0025{\lambda}$, whose length is about 44% of that of a conventional inverted-F antenna. The fabricated antenna on a thin FR4 substrate was measured to operate at 960 MHz with a bandwidth of 47 MHz, and at 1.8 GHz with a bandwidth of 289 MHz for $S_{11}$ less than -5 dB; the radiation efficiencies were 49% and 57%, respectively.

The wirebonding is a common interconnection technique for modern microwave devices because of rather simple and reliable processes involved. At millimeter-wave frequencies, however, the bondwire parasitics are significant and consequently limit the external performance of packaged devices. In this paper, we represent wideband characterization of multiple bondwires and ribbon in a frequency range from 20 to 35 GHz. From these results, the double bondwire shows very small insertion loss less than 0.55 dB up to 35 GHz and its performance is comparable to that of the ribbon in the millimeter-wave frequencies. Therefore, the wirebonding is very suitable for millimeter wave packaging in terms of performance and manufacturing cost.

In this paper, we propose and fabricate the dual-band microstrip patch antenna with parasitic patch for S-DMB(Satellite-Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) and ITS (Intelligent Transport System) services. The measured - 10 dB bandwidth and the minimum return loss is 300 MHz and - 27 dB for S-DMB, 600 MHz and -17 dB for ITS, respectively. It is noticed that the measured and simulated results are agreed well. The S-DMB antenna has conical beam pattern in the vertical plane and has omni-directional beam pattern in the horizontal plane. The conical beam pattern has the maximum gain about 4.2 dBi when ${\theta}$ is $45^{\circ}$ at the center frequency of 2.6 GHz. The ITS antenna has directional beam pattern in the vertical plane that has maximum gain about 6.4 dBi when ${\theta}$ is $0^{\circ}$ at the center frequency of 5.8 GHz.

Five cases of Diphyllobothrium latum infection were proved by collection of worms after treatment with bithionol, niclosamide or praziquantel, during 1975~1983. The patients were 4 males and one female aged 10~64 years residing in Seoul or Wando-gun, Chollanam-do, Korea. All of them remembered the history of eating several kinds of raw marine fish and 2 persons said they ate the raw mesh of perch, Lateolabrax japcnicus. Three amcnE them experienced abdominal pain, 2 natural discharge of a chain of segments, but none revealed any sign of anemia. The average egg size in stool varied $59~67{\times}41~48{\mu\textrm{m}}$ according to cases. The eggs were characterised by ovoid to elliptical shape, terminal operculum, and distinct abopercular protuberance. One naturally discharged segment (30cm) and 4 complete strobilae (320~680cm) with scolices obtained after treatments were examined. The morphological characters of proglottids such as rosette-form uterus with 3~6 loops, vaginal pore included in the cirrus sac, separated seminal vesicle from cirrus sac, etc. were all compatible with D. latum. These are the 7th~11th cases of D. latum infection proved by worms in Korea.

Analysis of siR isolates of Trichemenes veginalis was carried out with sodium dodecyl sulfate- polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and enzyme-linked immunoelectrotransfer blot (EITB). Trichloroacetic acid-treated antigens of the 6 isolates revealed 25 protein profiles ranging 12~170 kDa of molecular weight in SDS-PAGE. In EITB, the specific immunogenic bands were visualized at 51 kDa and 96 kDa when HY-1 antigen was probed with difFerent mice sera immunized with 6 isolates of T. vaginalis. The banding patterns with different sera showed isolate-to-isolate variability. In EITB, homologous antigen (HY-1) did not show any enhanced response in reacting to homologous antiserum(HY-1) when 6 isolates of T. vaginalis were probed with a single serum (HY-1). It is assumed that the different banding patterns of six isolates show isolate-to-isolate variability and immunogenic common bands in 41, 47, 74 and 9:k kDa on EITB may connote the important significance on immune response in T. vaginalis infection.

The infection stasus of the loaches, Misgurnus anguillicaudatus, with the metacercariae of Echinostoma hortense, was studied in Korea. A total of 154 loaches purchased at 4 local markets (Seoul, Kimhae, Naju-gun and Kangjin-gun) were examined their infection rate as well as the density and location of the metacercariae in the fish body. The results are as follows: 1. The loaches carrying the metacerariae of E. hortense were 64 (41.6%) in total number and the metacercarial density ranged 1-29 per infected loach with an average value of 8.1. The highest infection rate and metacercarial density were obtained from the loaches purchased at Kangjin-gun, Jeonranam-do. 2. The metacercariae of E. hortense were chiefly distributed in the distal intestinal wall and the adjacent mesentery, the perianal tissues, and the head and gill of the loaches examined. From the results, it is concluded that the loach is one of the important second intermediate hosts of E. hortense in Korea, and their infection rate and metacercarial density are considerably high.
