  • Vascular malformations may typically present with palpable mass that can be either asymptomatic or can present with symptoms including swelling and pain. On rare occasions, vascular malformation of muscle may produce joint deformities caused by contracture of the involved muscle. When vascular malformation involves the flexor muscle of the leg, ankle equinus deformity may occur. However, there are no reports of toe deformities secondary to intermuscular or intramuscular vascular malformations of flexor muscles of toe. Thus, we report a case of vascular malformation of flexor hallucis longus muscle with flexion contracture of toes in a 40-years-old woman who was treated with surgical excision.

  • In this study, we used electron microscopic analysis to characterize the hemocytes in the last larva of Protaetia brevitarsis seulensis (Colbe) (Cetoniidae, Coleoptera). Granulocytes (GR), plasmatocytes (PL), oenocytoids (OE), spherulocytes (SP), prohemocytes (PR) and adipohemocytes (AD) were classified based on their size and ultrastructural differences in the circulating hemocytes. Many dark granules (<$1{\mu}m$ in diameter) in the GR's cytoplasm were observed and well-developed mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum (ER), nucleus, and Golgi complex were also seen. After microorganisms infected, the GRs were morphologically activated and phagocytosed them. Especially, dark granules (lysosomes) were fused themselves and these bigger granules finally agglomerate together with microorganisms. Other hemocytes seem to have no immune functions.

  • The present with in this country, rock bolt installation, shotcrete, and concrete lining in construction order has become accepted as a general tunnelling method in NATM. On the other hand Unlined tunnelling method, which was developed by many countries near Scandinavian Peninsula with hard rocks comparatively, has recently been introduced all over the world, and numerous studies about that have been being devoted to domestic tunnels. Unlined tunnelling method has been developed on the basis of the permanently unsupported openings, and general 7 requirements for them were suggested by Nick Barton. There are no case record about these conditions for Q-system in this country. Therefore, input parameters for Q-system under these conditions were applied to general road tunnel cross-section and numerical analyses for each condition were executed with UDEC-BB, Distinct Element Method.

  • Metarhizium anisopliae is one of the entomopathogenic fungi infecting Protaetia brevitarsis seulensis. Environmental conditions strongly affect the virulence of entomopathogenic fungus. To test the susceptibility of P. brevitarsis seulensis larvae to M. anisopliae, we determined level mortality rates under different rearing conditions: temperatures (20℃, 25℃, 30℃), relative humidities (RH; RH 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%), and water content in sawdust (40%, 50%, 60%). The mortality rate of larvae treated with 5×106 conidia mL-1 M. anisopliae was not significantly affected by rearing temperature, but was affected by low RH (40%) and low water content in sawdust (40%), both of which resulted in high mortality rates. Mortality rated among M. anisopliae-treated 1st, 2nd, and 3rd instar larvae were highest in 1st instar larvae.

  • The taxonomy of gudgeons of the subfamily Gobioninae in Korea is reviewed and keys to supraspecific taxa (subfamilies and genera) of the subfamily Gobioninae are provided, as well as the synonyms and distribution of the species or subspecies. Abbottina springeri, poorly known in Korea is redescribed with the extention of its known morphological characters and geographical distribution. Squalidus sp. occurring rivers of the Yongdokoship, the Hyongsan, and the Hoeya in the Gyongsangbugdo and in the Gyongsangnamdo differs from three previously described species from Korea in the numbers and structure of lateral line scales, color patterns on the body sides, and eye diameter etc. The genus name of Gonoprcktopterus mylodon should be transferred from Gonoproktopterus to Hemibarbus, because the species is more similar to Hemibarbus longirostris or Belligobio eristrigma than to Gonoproktopterus, an Indian genus of Barbinae. The korean gudgeons of the subfamily Gobioninae are grouped five possible phyletic series, as follow ; Hemibarbus, Pseudorasbora, Sarcocheilichthys, Gnathopogon, and Pseudogobio group. The genus Gobiobotia is not placed in the subfamily Gobioninae but in the subfamily Gobiobotinae in relation to 3 pairs of mental barbels and some osteological characters.

  • This study examines the osteological development of the Pike gudgeon, Pseudogobio esocinus in the cranial, vertebral, caudal, pelvic and pectoral girdle for the purpose of taxonomic and aquacultural studies. Adult Pike gudgeon collected from the Boseonggang River were reared at 18.5~19.5℃ (average 19.0℃). At 5 days after hatching (total length (TL) 4.25 mm), the parasphenoid, dentary, centrum of vertebrae and clavicle began to ossify. At 22 days after hatching (TL 6.33 mm), 36 to 38 vertebrae had ossified. At 42 days after hatching (TL 16.71 mm), the majority of the skeleton had ossified. Pike gudgeon exhibited comparable characteristics to other fishes of Gobionidae throughout its development, although it displayed differences in some areas, such as the caudal skeleton and fin supports.

  • In order to find new functional materials for the cosmetics application, we investigated anti-inflammatory and whitening effects of the Protaetia brevitarsis seulensis (P. brevitarsis) extracts, which were prepared by the various oriental conversion methods, as follows; fresh, roasted one time, roasted two times, roasted three times, and steamed. 2,2-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activities of the various solvent extracts (80% ethanol, 50% ethanol, ethyl acetate, hexane) of P. brevitarsis extracts were 85.5, 22.4, 37.0 and 19.4% respectively. The 80% ethanol extract with the highest antioxidant activity was used for all experiments. In case of antioxidant activity test of the extracts, all the extracts showed the activities in concentration dependent manner regardless of the sample preparation methods. Superoxide dismutase-like (SOD-like) activities of the extracts roasted three times and steamed were 62.9 and 55.9%, respectively in $500{\mu}g/mL$. Effects of extracts on the inflammation of RAW 264.7 cell induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) showed decreasing tendency of $NO{\cdot}$ and prostaglandin $E_2$ ($PGE_2$) production; PBS fresh (38.0%), PBS roasted one time (41.0%), PBS roasted two times (69.8%), PBS roasted three times (70.1%), PBS steamed (78.5%). Intracellular tyrosinase and melanin biosynthesis inhibitory activities of the extracts were decreased in a concentration dependent manner. However, the fresh P. brevitarsis extracts without the oriental conversion method showed 90.7% decrease compared to the control group treated with ${\alpha}$-MSH alone at $500{\mu}g/mL$. Taken together, these results suggest the oriental conversion method can be applied in development of cosmetic materials in order to improve anti-inflammatory and whitening effects of the cosmetics products.

  • The purpose of this study was to examine the radiation protection effect of protaetia brevitarsis larvae extracts known as antioxidant food. In this study 90 female rats were clssified in to 5 groups: NC Group, PBE Group, IR Group, PBE+IR Group and IR+PBE Group. In IR Group, 7 Gy of Co-60 gamma ray was irradiated to SD rat and protaetia brevitarsis larvae extracts were administered orally at 200 mg/kg once a day for 14 days. And then on the 1 day, 7 days, 21 days later after irradiation, changes in blood cell component, superoxide dismutase(SOD) activity, spleen index, histopathological evaluation of the ovary and uterus were observed. As a result, the PBE+IR Group (p<0.01, p<0.05) and IR+PBE Group (p<0.01, p<0.01) showed a significantly radiation protection than the IR Group in lymphocyte and red blood cell on the 21 days. It was also confirmed that SOD activity of PBE+IR Group (p<0.01) and IR+PBE Group (p<0.01) was significantly increased than the IR Group. In spleen index, PBE+IR Group (p<0.05) and IR+PBE Group (p<0.01) showed a significantly recovery than the IR Group. In histopathological observation, PBE+IR Group in the ovary and PBE+IR, IR+PBE Group in the uterus showed less inflammatory reactions of cystoplasm than the IR Group. Based on These results, It is judged that protaetia brevitarsis larvae Extracts have radiation protection effect against blood and reproductive. It is expected to be useful for research of radiation protection agent.
