"떡"을 대표로 하는 중국 밀 문화는 선사시기의 야생 식물 재배는 역사상의 가공과 이용으로부터 현대 사회의 정밀 가공, 더 깊은 가공의 광범위한 이용에 이르기까지 수천 년의 긴 역사과정을 거쳤다. 그러나 20세기말 이전까지만 해도 밀가루는 중국 사람의 주식 원료 구성에서 그다지 중요하지 않은 위치에 있었다. 하지만 분명해야 할 것은 어떤 종류의 곡물이 한 민족의 주식 원료 구성에서의 높고 낮은 비중이 결코 간단하게 그 사회 의미와 문화가치의 높고 낮음과는 동일시할 수 없다. 중국 사람의 밀 식용 역사가 바로 하나의 전형적인 사례이다. 선진(先秦)시기, 밀의 재배와 식용은 주로 식량 공급이 줄곧 긴장된 상태에 처해있는 각 정권의 "接濟靑黃"(구제식량)하는 전략적 물자였다. 그러나 선진(先秦)시기에서 밀은 경제가치가 아주 높은 곡물은 아니었다. 그 원인은 밀의 무(畝)생산량이 상대적으로 낮을 뿐만 아니라 종자의 수요량도 상대적으로 크기 때문이다. 묵은 곡식은 다 사용되고 새 곡식이 무르익지 않은 공백기에 있는(청황불접) 시기에 전략적 곡식의 사회와 정치 의미 외에 강한 적응성, 광범위한 분포와 낮은 단가가 또한 밀의 상대적 장점으로 될 수 있다. 밀의 경제와 문화가치는 주로 한대(漢代)이후 차츰 드러났다. 혁명적인 변화는 바로 가루 음식의 섭취와 계속적인 확대이다. 밀을 가루로 내어 식용한 후 차츰 기타 곡물의 편의식품 전통 공간을 대체하였고, 한대(漢代)의 딤섬류 식품 "한구(寒具)(고대에 곡물가루 튀김 음식물 현재의 타래떡 등)"에 사용되는 재료도 거의 밀가루를 사용하였다. 오늘날 중국 사람이 자랑으로 여기는 전통식품인 국수, 만두, 혼돈(餛飩), 포자(包子), 소맥(燒麥), 떡, 찐빵(饅頭), 고(糕) 및 공업화 식품인 과자, 빵, 라면, 햄버거 등은 모두 밀가루를 기본 원료로 사용하고 있다. 나아가서 더욱 정밀하고, 다양한 딤섬 종류도 밀가루를 기본 원료로 한 주요 무대이다. 20세기말 이후 밀 소비 인구가 계속 확대되는 추세였으며 높은 소비량은 밀의 재배 면적 확대와 재배지역 확장을 결정하였다. 밀 소비량은 중국 사람의 주식 원료 소비에서 이미 근근이 벼 뒤를 잇는 지위에 올랐다. 통계 자료에 따르면 1949년 중국 밀 면적은 2,185만 헥타르로, 전국 식량 작물 총 면적의 19.6%, 총 생산량 1,380만 톤으로 전국 식량 작물 총 생산량의 12.2%에 달한다. 1980년에 이르러 면적은 2,884만 헥타르로, 총 생산량은 5,416만 톤에 달하였으며, 각각 식량작물 총면적의 24.8%, 총 생산량의 17.0%를 차지하였다. 1981이후 중국 밀 생산량은 또한, 새로운 발전을 가졌으며, 주로 단위 면적 생산량이 비교적 크게 증가되었고 총 생산량도 큰 폭으로 증가되었다. 1981~1985년과 1976~1980년의 5년 평균치를 비교한 결과 재배 면적은 같았으나(단지 0.2%만 증가), 단위 면적당 생산량 및 총 생산량은 46% 증가하였으며, 연평균 증가율이 9.2%에 달하여 50년 이래에 증가 속도가 가장 빠른 시기였다. 비록 지금 중국인의 "배부르게 먹기"문제는 이미 기본적으로 해결되었으나 장기적으로 "배부르게 먹기"의 물질적 보장은 여전히 취약하다. 농사가 가능한 경지면적의 급속한 격감으로 단위 면적당 생산량의 압력을 증가되었다. 국가 표준에 따르면 품질이 좋은 밀은 "탄력이 강한 고품질 밀"과 "탄력이 약한 고품질 밀" 두 가지로 구분된다. 지금 중국 시장의 추세를 보면 밀 품종의 선택에서 주로 탄력이 강한 고품질 밀을 선택하는데 즉 글루텐량이 높고 탄력이 강하며 품질이 좋은 전문 용도에 사용되는 밀을 선택한다. 탄력이 강한 고품질 밀은 주로 빵, 라면, 만두 등 밀가루 탄력을 요구하는 음식을 만드는데 사용된다. 그 중에서 모든 빵은 탄력이 강한 고품질 밀을 사용하고 밀에 대한 품질 요구도 또한 높다. 빵가루의 품질을 높이기 위하여 일부 전문 밀가루 생산 공장에서는 국산 고품질 밀에 수입 고품질 밀을 첨가하여 사용한다. 만두가루를 가공할 경우도 고품질 밀을 첨가하여 밀가루의 품질을 높이고 음식을 맛을 증가한다. 일부 품질이 떨어진 밀에 대하여 고품질 밀을 첨가하여 내부의 품질을 개선하고 찐빵이나 기타 밀가루 음식으로 가공한다. 예를 들면 중국 동북 지역에서는 고품질 밀과 봄밀을 섞어 밀가루의 봄밀의 품질을 개선한다. 총괄적으로 밀에 대한 욕구는 계속 장기적으로 벼에 버금가는 위치를 유지할 것이며 고품질 밀에 대한 욕구는 더욱 강한 추세로 발전할 것이다.

Purpose: In a retrospective study for the pediatric patients who underwent liver transplantation in the past 6 years at Samsung Medical Center, the clinical features of 5 patients with posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) were analyzed. Methods: Between June 1996 and June 2002, 41 pediatric patients underwent liver transplantation. Seven of them died in the postoperative period. Thirty-five including one patient who died of PTLD were finally reviewed. Patients were divided into two groups: high risk group, EBV naive recipients of EBV-positive grafts; low risk group, the patients other than those in high risk group. The authors reviewed age at operation, immunosuppressive agent, postoperative duration until diagnosis, postoperative duration until EBV seroconversion, presence of treatment against rejection, and presenting symptoms of PTLD. Results: Five of 41 patients (12.2%) developed PTLD. All of them belonged to high risk group, and the incidence of PTLD in high risk group was 31.3% (5/16). The mean age at operation was 10.8 months old and the mean duration between operation and diagnosis for PTLD was 9.8 months. Primary EBV infection developed after a median of 6 months after transplantation. One patient was diagnosed as laryngeal and gastrointestinal PTLD and the other four, gastrointestinal PTLD. The following symptoms and signs were seen in the patients: anemia (100%), hypoalbuminemia (100%), fever (80%), diarrhea (80%), gastrointestinal bleeding (80%), and anorexia (60%). Conclusion: PTLD is one of the major complications after pediatric liver transplantation, especially in the group of high-risk recipients. Anemia, hypoalbuminemia, fever, diarrhea and gastrointestinal bleeding were features that are characteristic of PTLD. The common features of PTLD development were: (i) EBV-positive donors placed into EBV naive recipients, (ii) primary EBV infection about 6 months after transplantation, (iii) young age, about 1 year old at operation, and (iv) the requirement for intensive posttransplant immunosuppression.

Lipozyme TL IM-catalyzed esterification was carried out to produce functional hard fat (structured lipid, SL) using palm stearin (PS) and hydrolysate of pomegranate seed oil (HPSO) of 1:6 molar ratio. HPSO contained conjugated linolenic acid (CLnA, about 80%). The reaction was performed at non-solvent system and solvent (n-hexane) system using Lipozyme TL IM (10% of total substrates, w/w) for 12, 24, and 72 hr in a shaking water bath ($55^{\circ}C$ and 185 rpm), respectively. SL synthesized in non-solvent system (NH-SL) and SL synthesized in n-hexane system (H-SL) were refined after deacidification, respectively. Their physicochemical properties were compared to obtain desirable functional hard fat. The content of CLnA in NH-SL increased from 34.38% to 40.63% with increasing reaction time. Similar results also observed in H-SL resulting in 36.81~45.83% of CLnA. In triacylglycerol (TAG) composition, the main molecules of LnLnLn (Ln=linolenic acid, PN=36) and the LnLnP (P=palmitic acid, PN=40) were newly synthesized in NH-SL and H-SL with increasing reaction time. After 72 hr reaction, iodine values of NH-SL (136.49) and H-SL (140.37) showed high values because of the high content of CLnA. Solid fat index (SFI) in NH-SL was higher than that in H-SL at each measured temperature. The predominant polymorphic forms of NH-SL and H-SL obtained after esterification for 72 hr were the desirable crystalline structure of the ${\beta}$' form.

Although Korean red pine (Pinus densiflora) forests near temples are valuable as forests of the cultural landscape, they are likely to be deteriorated because of vegetation succession and climate changes. The purpose of this study is to investigate the vegetation structure, the pine vitality, and the site environmental characteristics of the pine forests near temples to identify the correlation between pine tree growth and location environment. We selected Chuneunsa, Wonhyosa, Jeungsimsa, and Taeansa Temples since these four areas still had the healthy pine forests. In all four studied area, the pine trees dominate the canopy layers while the deciduous broadleaf trees mostly inhabited appeared in the lower layers. The growth of pine trees in Jeungsimsa and Wonhyosa areas was not as good as Chuneunsa area where the pine trees tended to be older. We found higher total nitrogen content in soil in Jeungsimsa area than other areas, maybe because of increase in total nitrogen caused by the development of low vegetation in the area. This peculiarity may have led to the pine trees in the area to fall behind the deciduous broadleaf trees in competition for nitrogen nutrient and thus to show deteriorated growth. The altitude and the twig length showed a negative correlation as did the degree of slope and the mean importance percentage of the pine tree. In other words, the growth environment such as soil became poorer when the altitude and the degree of slope increased, and thus the growth amount and dominance of the pine trees were lower. The degree of slope showed a positive correlation with the twig length of the pine tree. Within boundaries of location environment where the pine tree forests were dominant, it seemed that growth of the pine trees was more favorable as the slope was steeper because the trees could avoid competition with deciduous broadleaf trees. On the other hand, the growth of pine trees deteriorated as the electrical conductivity of soil increased; increase in soil nutrients might have accelerated vegetation development of deciduous broadleaf trees and thus aggravated the growth environment of pine trees to negatively affect maintaining the health of the pine tree forests.

Alcohol, which can easily be obtained in the same way as ordinary beverages, is harmful enough to cause death due to excessive drinking and chronic alcohol intake, so it is important to maintain a proper amount of drinking and healthy drinking habits. In addition, the incidence of behavioral disturbances and impaired judgments that can be caused by chronic alcohol drinking of more than adequate amounts of alcohol is also significant. Accordingly it is very useful for forensic science to check whether the person involved is drunken or is alcoholism state in various accidents. Currently, in Korea, alcohol consumption is determined by detecting the level of alcohol or alcohol metabolism 'ethyl glucuronide (EtG)' in blood or urine samples. However, analysis of alcohol or EtG in blood or urine can only provide information about the current state of alcohol consumption because of a narrow window of detection time. Therefore, it is important to analyze the EtG as a long-term direct alcohol metabolite bio-marker in human hair and to investigate relationship between alcohol consumption and EtG concentration for the evaluation of chronic ethanol consumption. In this study, we established an analytical method for the detection of EtG in Korean hair efficiently and validated selectivity, linearity, limits of detection (LOD), limits of quantification (LOQ), matrix effect, recovery, process efficiency, accuracy and precision using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). In addition, the assay performance was evaluated in Korean social drinker's hair and the postmortem hair of a chronic alcoholism. The results of this study can be useful in monitoring the alcohol abuse of Korean in clinical cases and legal procedures related to custody and provide a useful tool to evaluate postmortem diagnosis of alcoholic ketoacidosis in forensics.

Thermal effluent of the hot spring has long been a field of interest in the relationship between temperature gradient and freshwater algae in geology, limnology and aquatic ecology throughout the world. On the other hand, many artificial hot springs have been developed in Korea, but the research on them has not been still active. This study was performed every month from December 2015 to September 2016, to elucidate the spatiotemporal effects of thermal wastewater effluent (TWE) on the ecosystem of benthic algal assemblage in four stations(BSU (upstream), HSW (hot spring wastewater outlet), BSD1~2 (downstream)) of the upstream reach of the Buso Stream, a tributary located in the Hantan River basin. During the survey, the influencing distance of temperature on TWE was <1.0 km, and it was the main source of N P nutrients at the same time. The effects of TWE were dominant at low temperature and dry season (December~March), but it was weak at high temperature and wet season (July~September), reflecting some seasonal characteristics. Under these circumstances, the attached algal communities were identified to 59 genera and 143 species. Of these, the major phylum included 21 genera 83 species of diatoms(58.0%), 9 genera 21 species of blue-green algae (14.7%) and 25 genera 32 species of green algae (22.4%), respectively. The spatiotemporal distribution of them was closely related to water temperature ($5^{\circ}C$ and $15^{\circ}C$) and current ($0.2m\;s^{-1}$ and $0.8m\;s^{-1}$). In the basic environment maintaining a high water temperature throughout the year round, the flora favoring high affinity to $PO_4$ in the water body or preferring stream habitat of abundant $NO_3-PO_4$ was dominant. As a result, when compared with the outcomes of previous algal ecology studies conducted in Korea, the Buso Stream was evaluated as a serious polluted state due to persistent excess nutrient supply and high thermal pollution throughout the year round by TWE. It can be regarded as a dynamic ecosystem in which homogeneity (Summer~Autumn) and heterogeneity (Winter~Spring) are repeated between upstream and downstream.

To get well matured farm yard manure from ricestraw as quickly as possible during winter season, straw piles wrapped with polyethylene film and/or straw thatch were stored in the vinyl house or open air. Their maturities and changes of temperature in heap were investigated from the beginning of December 1983 to March of next year. Heat increment in vinyl house was high $2-5^{\circ}C$ than at open air at the lowest temperature but it didn't rise over the freezing point. However, the highest temperature was arisen over than $20^{\circ}C$ averagely at the vinylhouse compared to those of open air during three months. Temperature in piles of straw manure was reached to about $70^{\circ}C$ in maximum and rose again very rapidly after repiling in the vinyl house, whereas increment of temperature after repiling was delayed and took long times to reach the maximum temperature at open air. Wrapping with P.E. film also affected the insulation of decomposing heat of straw pile and promoted the repeat of piling even at open air. By these results, ricestraw would be decomposed rapidly by insulation with P.E. film in the vinyl house and could be reached to matured compost for application to field on next spring season. P.E. film covered for vinyl house was endured until May of next year without tear by weathering.

This experiment was conducted to find out the changes in microflora of submerged soil uncultivated rice plant by application of CNP herbicide (2, 4, 6 - Trichlorophenyl-4-Nitrophenyl ether) under conditions applied with compost, rice straw, glucose or without organic material. The soil, sandy loam textured was incubated in green house for 66 days. Sampling and analysis of microorganisms were carried out during submergence periods. The results were summarilized as follows. 1. Number of aerobic total bacteria was increased by application of CNP herbicide during submerbed 50 days, afterthen, could not seen the difference. The application of rice straw increased number of aerobic bacteria regardless of CNP herbicide application or not, but glucose tended to decrease. 2. Number of Fungi was constantly maintained at $8-20{\times}10^3$ levels during period of submergence regardless of application of CNP herbicide and organic materials or not. 3. The CNP herbicide application tended to decrease the number of actinomycetes, particularly, in the treatments without organic substances and rice straw were remarkably decreased. 4. Anaerobic-and gram-negative bacteria populations were not showed any difference by application of herbicide and organic materials. 5. The ratios of aerobic bacteria to fungi and aerobic bacteria to actinomycetes appeared high values by application of herbicide and of organic substances. 6. At 66 days after submergence, the ratio of chromogenic actinomycetes to the total number of actinomycetes was lowered in application of herbicide. On the other hand, the percentage of both pretense-positive and cellulase-positive actinomycetes to the total isolates were higher in the treatment with herbicide than An without herbicide, particularly. The ratios of pretense-positive actinomycetes were high in the rice straw application regardless of herbicide application or not, but cellulase-positive actinomycetes was not remarkably difference.

Dissolved and particulate organic carbon concentrations and fluxes were measured and estimated for the Yeongsan River during 2006~2015. The dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations ranged from 2.49 to $4.39mg{\cdot}C/L$ with a variance of 30.1% (${\sigma}_x/\bar{x}$), and showed a simple correlation to algal bloom and precipitation. The particulate organic carbon (POC) concentrations had gradually decreased from 6.68 to $0.19mg{\cdot}C/L$ for 10 years, and changed definitely with weir construction in 2011. Based on the relationships between POC and suspended particulate matters and between POC and chlorophyll-a, we found out that the distinct variation of the origin and composition of POC was caused by stagnation and screening effect of the dammed river. The total organic carbon (TOC) concentrations dropped to 52.3% (from 8.26 to $3.94mg{\cdot}C/L$) as the POC concentrations diminished to more than 94.8% after weir construction, in which the DOC forms up to 90.9%. The fluxes of TOC, based on the relationship between the annual TOC concentration and the discharge of Yeongsan dike sluice, were $2.56{\sim}19.41{\times}10^9g{\cdot}C/yr$, and showed a great deal of variability in 2011. Since then the TOC flux dropped to $5.40{\times}10^9$ (2011~2015) from $14.54{\times}10^9g{\cdot}C/yr$ (2006~2010). These results suggest that the weirs trapped annually $1.83{\times}10^9g{\cdot}C$ on a river bed, but released in great levels of dissolved organic form at their exits.
