This experiment was conducted to determine germination ability, life cycle, regrowth ability of Portulaca oleracea L. The newly harvested seeds from P. oleracea flowered before July 15 were able to germinate, but percent germination decreased markedly as the flowering time was later than July 15, showing no germination of seed collected at Sept. 12 which were flowered at August 30, 76.5% of seeds can be germinated in the light as seed stored in room condition for 90 days, but in dark condition, it needed 2 years of seed storage for germination. Low temperature treatment at $2^{\circ}C$ for 5 days enhanced seed germination of P. oleracea in both light and dark conditions. The maximum vagetative growth was observed at 30 to 75 days after seeding. The late seeding time such as July 1 shortened the period of vegetative growth. However, regardless of the seeding times, the first flowering was observed at about 40 days after seeding. Leaf numbers, shoot lengths, fresh and dry weights were greatly affected by the seeding dates, showing that the earlier seedings produced significantly higher shoot length, fresh and dry weight, leaf numbers and branch numbers than those of the late seedings. When all branches were removed on 68 days after seeding, their regrowth ability was 50.3% and cuttaged branches showed 78.1% regrowth as compared to intact plant.

Objectives : To identify the relationship between somatization, stress, depression, anxiety, and psychological symptoms risk for nurses working in the intensive care unit. Create clinical evidence of psychosomatic medicine research and complement the meaning of somatization. Methods : Seventy of the mental health checkups conducted by the National Mental Health Center among the nurses using tools including Perceived Stress scale, Fatigue Severity Scale, Patient Health questionnaire-15, Korean Beck Depression Inventory, Korean Beck Anxiety Inventory, and Symptom Checklist-90-Revision. Results : 12.9% of the patients experienced more than moderate somatization. There was no statistical relationship between somatization and psychological stress perception, but feeling of anxiety and decreased self-confidence were related to the level of somatization. The group with severe somatization experienced more depression and anxiety. The group with high physical fatigue also had no statistical relationship with psychological stress perception, but had an effect on the feeling of tension, stress, or decreased control. Physical fatigue level was increased by experience of depression, not by anxiety. For psychological symptoms the higher the level of somatization, the higher the obsession and hostility was explored. In the linear regression model, stress, depression, and anxiety accounted for 39.3% of somatization and 16.1% of physical fatigue symptoms. Conclusions : We can estimate the decrease in stress cognitive symptoms, accompanying depression and anxiety, compulsion and hostility as characteristics of somatization. The causal relationship between somatization and psychological symptoms cannot be confirmed in this study, but the interrelationships are observed, can be referred to mediation strategies.

The development of eggs and larvae, and minute tubercles on the skin surface of the larvae in Acheilognathus lanceolatus (=Acheilognathus intermedia intermedia) from Korea were observed. The ripe eggs of A. lanceolatus from Korea were nearly spindly. The shape was distinguishable from that of Japan. And then the embryonic development of this specimen from Korea was faster than that from Japan. As regards larval development and morphology and distribution of the minute tubercles, however, A. lanceolatus in both Korea and Japan were same except for the mentioned above two characters. These findings suggested that the two formes should be separated at subspecies level.

The physiological characteristics of carrot hairy roots and suspension cells were examined based on their nutritional requirements. Inorganic nutrient (phosphorous and ammonium) requirements of carrot hairy roots were similar to those of suspension cells. Optimal sucrose concentration for the growth of hairy roods (7%) was different from that of suspension cells (3%). Since suspension cells were move easily affected by the environmental condition, e.g., osmotic stress, than hairy roofs which made the suitable growth condition for cells, it can be understood that optimal sucrose concentration for the growth of hairy roots was higher than that for the growth of the suspension cells. To investigate the roles of sucrose on the growth of hairy roots, the effects of sucrose on the fresh weight and dry weight was analysed by the addition of mannitol as an osmolicum. Sucrose acts also as an energy source for hairy roots rather than as an osmotic regulator, since the increase of dry weight was higher than that of fresh weight at the given sucrose concentration.

Low back pain and/or lumbosacral radiculopathy have become one of the most common pain problems in our pain clinic center. There are several kinds of conservative management for low back pain and/or lumbosacral radiculopathy. We as pain clinicans, focused on epidural administration of local anesthetics and steroids. The rationale for epidural steroid administration is to reduce inflammation and to inhibit the action of nociceptive agents. Eighty mg of methylprednisolone acetate in 10 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine was infected, into epidural space 3 times at one week intervals for 1 year, to 921 patients(male: 422, female: 499) seen in the period between March 1986 and December 1989. The effectiveness was evaluated a month after the final injection. The results were as follows: Excellent pain relieved group 122 patients(13.25%) Good pain relieved group: 485 patients(52.66%) Fair pain relieved group: 184 patients(19.98%) No effect group: 130 patients(14.11%) We recommend the epidural steroid inject to the patients following failure of conservative management of discogenic pain.

Herbicide is an essential agricultural chemical in the modern agriculture. Due to its bioactivity, however, risk of herbicide use against non-target organisms should be seriously considered. Among the unfavorable aspects given by herbicide, the residue is the most important because herbicide residue in soil and agricultural product is closely related to human safety. The residue in soil and crop is dependent on conditions of soil, weather, herbicide use and crop cultivation, etc. In general, the residue in soil or agricultural product in Korea is known to be not serious at this moment, except for some problems like carry-over effect on succeeding crops. To secure safety of herbicide use for the health, soil ecology and other environment, researches on herbicide residue including monitoring survey should be done more frequently and extensively. Safety guide for herbicide usage should be kept by farmers and development of long toxic herbicide should be accelerated.

In this study, we investigated antimicrobial and cytotoxicity effects to each fraction extracted from Solanum lyratum (SL), which were extracted methanol (SLM) and then the extract was fractionated into five different types : hexane (SLMH), ethyl ether (SLMEE), ethylacetate (SLMEA), butanol (SLMB) and aqueous (SLMA). The antimicrobial activity was analyzed by the paper disc method. Among the various solvent fractions, SLMEA showed the strongest antimicrobial activies. The cytotoxicity of SL fractions on HeLa, MCF-7, HT-29 and HepG2 cells was evaluated by MTT assay. Among various partition layers, SLMEE showed the strongest cytotoxic effects to all cancer cell lines. We also observed that quinone reductase (QR) was induced by all fraction layers of SL to HepG2 cells. Since the QR-induced effects of SLMEE on HepG2 cells at $160{\mu}g/ml$ concentration showed 2.1 when compared with a control value of 1.0, inducer of QR for cancer protection may be contained in this fraction.

This study was conducted to find out the effect of differed pH condition at sand culture on the Na Content of seedlings. Na is more contented in some species from acidity to neutrality where there is a little Ca. Difference of Na content in each species of seedlings was marked. According to each species passitive correlation coeffecientwas noticed between Na and Ca content in each species on Alkaline Growth Media, but on the contrary, negative correlation was noticed on acidic condition, In this point of view, it seems that Na content an important factor for the adaptability of the seedings to soil acidity. Especially, in view of the unconformed theory that Na Content partly make up for the physiological effect of porasium content. The writer is goint to this study with further research in the potasium content of seedlings.
