We studied the biological activities, including antioxidant compounds, antioxidant activities, anti-proliferative activities, and immunological activities of brown rice and germinated brown rice. We examined the DPPH, ABTS radical scavenging activity, and reducing power of 70% ethanol extracts from some cultivars of brown rice and germinated brown rice. The total polyphenol, total flavonoid, and ${\gamma}$-oryzanol contents of the extracts were measured with spectrophotometric methods. The Hongjinjubeyo brown rice and germinated brown rice extracts showed markedly higher antioxidative activity than those of 70% ethanol extracts from other cultivars. The 70% ethanol extracts from brown rice and germinated brown rice had the most effective anti-proliferative activity (cytotoxicity) against breast cancer cells (MCF-7) compared to colorectal cancer cells (HCT-116). A $500\;{\mu}g$/mL concentration of 70% Hongjinjubyeo ethanol extract had higher macrophage and mitogenic activities of immunological activity than other cultivars.

An 8-year-old, female, mixed Thoroughbred horse was presented for the evaluation of the left upper eyelid mass with ocular discharge during 4 months. After unilateral surgery, excised eyelid mass and left eye were submitted for diagnosis. Grossly, the removed mass was $6{\times}7{\times}2$ cm in size and dome shape with rough irregular surface. On the cut surface, mass was firm and yellowish white in color. Histopathologically, severely proliferated stratified squamous epithelia were heavily invaginated into dermis, and then formed rete ridge or numerous squamous islands. These neoplastic islands were composed of multiple layers of prickle cells with intercellular bridge and central laminated keratin pearls or necrotic cellular debris. Based on the above results, this case was diagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma in upper eyelid of horse.

About 450 specimens of Lockeia were discovered from the lacustrine siltstone of the Early Cretaceous Jinju Formation of Jin Island, southern coast of Korea. They are very elongated, seed-shaped Lockeia characterized by a large size, mostly 60-70 mm long and 15-20 mm wide. They are characteristically sharp longitudinal furrow bounded by steeply inclined both margins, elevated marginal rims and sharp pointed both longitudinal furrow ends. This trace fossil is herein described as Lockeia gigantus ichnosp. nov. Plicatounio, a freshwater bivalve which does not occur occurs occasionally within Lockeia gigantus is regarded as the most-likely producer of this resting trace fossil. This new trace fossil represents the largest Lockeia ever known and the first record of Lockeia from the Cretaceous non-marine deposits in the world. This fossil also represents an unusual example of resting trace fossil (Lockeia) associated with a possible producer (bivalve Plicatounio) lived in community in the shallow lacustrine environment.

Provenance type and paleoclimate of the Jinju and Iljig formation were studied on the basis of compositions of sandstones from the western Euiseong area in the northern part of Kyong-sang basin. The average compositions of quartz, feldspar and lithic grain(Q:F:L) from the sandstones are 53:40:7 and 50:46:4 for Jinju and Iljig formations, respectively. The values fall into the arkosic arenite field. Petrographic detrital modes of the sandstones mainly suggest transitional continental block for the tectonic setting of the provenance. All sandstones from the Jinju and IIjig formations show chemical compositions close to average values of arkose(Pettijohn, 1975). $Na_2O$ contents is relatively high. $Fe_2O_3$(total iron) and MgO contents decrease with increasing $SiO_2$ contents since the framework grains of arkoses supposed to be derived from granitic rocks are poor in ferromagnesian minerals. The detrital framework grains still possess climatic signs even though the grains were more or less altered during deep burial. Bivariant plot of Suttner and Dutta(1986) suggests semi-arid to semi-humid paleoclimate during the deposition of the Jinju and Iljig sandstones.

Purpose: The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore how adolescent survivors of childhood cancer grieve the death of cancer peers. Methods: Data were obtained from Korean adolescents with cancer between the ages of 13 and 18 (N=12) through semi-structured interviews (face-to-face, telephone, and Internet chatting), observations of the social dynamics of participants in self-help groups, and retrieval of personal Web journals. Based on the grounded theory methodology, data collection and analysis were conducted simultaneously, and constant comparative methods were used. Clarke's situational analysis was adopted, and this paper focused on presenting "how to" and "what we can learn" from this analytic strategy. Results: Mapping examples were visualized using of three modes of maps. Adolescent cancer survivors coped with reminders of the "darkness" that ultimately featured their overall grief. Additionally, adolescents' encounters and avoidance of grief were triggered by introspection and interactions with family and friends. Conclusion: Situational analysis provided an efficient way to analyze the experiences of adolescent survivors of childhood cancer by systematizing possible information within the relational social contexts of the research phenomenon.

Yeongsan-eupseong is located at Seongnae-ri, Yeongsan-myeon, Changnyeong-gun, Korea. We investigated the petrological features of the stone materials used for the rampart, and estimated their provenances. The stone materials consist of andesitic rocks, granitic rocks and sedimentary rocks. In the preserved rampart the andesitic rocks are relatively abundant, whereas the large number of granitic rocks are used for restoration. Chaeyaksan andesite and Chusan andesite are thought to be the source for the andesitic rocks. The original granitic rocks are of granite porphyry, and are likely to have been delivered from the near granite porphyry outcrops. On the other hand the granitic rocks used for restoration are classified to be biotite granite. The sedimentary rocks show thermally metamorphosed feature and changed to hornfels. The source for the hornfels is the contact area between the sedimentary rocks and granitic rocks near the Yeongsan-eupseong.

Purpose: This study was performed to identify the symptoms and care needs of home-based cancer patients in Korea and to add to the scarce literature on this topic. Methods: Data were collected from patients who subscribed to home-based cancer care services in Jinju. Assessments were performed by nurses at the local public health center. The Edmonton Symptom Assessment System with a numeric rating scale (NRS) was used to identify symptoms, and a four-point Likert scale was used to assess psychological, social, and spiritual needs. Results: Cross-sectional data were collected in October 2013. A total of 209 patients participated and their median age was 65 years (range, 17~89 years). Most patients were diagnosed in the early stage of cancer (n=188); only 19 patients were diagnosed in the advanced stage. More than half the patients lived alone (n=115, 55.0%) and took care of themselves (n=128, 61.2%). Anorexia and fatigue were the most common symptoms (median NRS, 5 and 4, respectively). Patients needed economic support the most, whereas spiritual care was least needed (n=138 [67.3%] vs. n=128 [62.1%], respectively). Conclusion: Patients who signed up for home-based cancer care services in Jinju are struggling with a financial issue and physical symptoms. A customized approach is needed to improve the quality of the home-based care services.

This study attempts at the engraving place of wood-printing plates held in the Haein Temple(해인사), which were famous for playing the significant role in the understanding of publishing activities of both the Koryo and Choson Dynasty. Following the common way the bibliographic elements of the books were analyzed namely according to the publication place and the publisher. The findings derived from the analysis are summarized as follows; In the Haeinsa the wood-printing plates books are preserved moved from 17 temples such as Bongso-Sa(봉서사), Hago-Sa(하고사), Soksuam(석수암), Inhung-Sa(인흥사), Wonkwang-Sa(월광사), Sinha-Sa(신하사), Gunsyaeng-Sa(군생사), Jangsu-Sa(장수사), Yongtong-Sa(영통사), Wonjok-Sa(원적사), Unjin(은진) SSanggye-Sa(쌍계사), Songsan(성산) SSanggye-Sa(쌍계사), Hungyul-Sa(흥률사), Jongwon-Sa(정원사), Yon-Sa(연사), Gamro-Sa(감로사), Yongguam(영귀암) besides the publications of temples, there are publications of local branches of gangyengdogam(간경도감) such as Jinju(진주), Sangju(진주), Sangju(상주), Andong(안동), of local public agencies such as Gaelimbu(계림부), Dalsunggwan(달성관), and of private families of which 8 titles in the Koryo Dynasty and 13 titles of the Choson Dynasty. Among the "SSanggyae-Sa(쌍계사) publication" held in the Haeinsa, 9 titles including Chimungyonghun(치문경훈) are recklesaly preserved with dividing both in Gap temple(갑사) and in Haeinsa as the same publication. It is possible that other scattered present publications or remaining publications might have been remaining publication from those partly burnt ones of the complete publications. By means of the investigation on the catalogs of publications, 5 titles such as <> <> <> <> <> which are now kept in the Haeinsa moved from the Taegubu(대구부) or Yongyon-Sa(용연사) were newly identified.

The alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) isozyme of the four strains of Drosophila melanogaster in Korea was studied by the starch gel electrophoresis and the results are given below: 1. The numbers of bands, staining intensity and mobility are considerably variable in the three strains, Chunchun, Jinju and Sinchon-Seoul, but relatively uniform in the Taijun strain. 2. It is suggested that the Taijun strain may be homogeneous and the other three strains, on the contrary, heterogeneous for the ADH constitution. 3. The electrophoretic patterns are observed to be different between males and females in all strains used which is hard to intereret. 4. The starch gel electrophoresis is to have a resolving power superior to cellulose acetate electrophoresis.

The extraction yield, total phenolics content, antioxidant activity, cancer cell growth inhibition (A549 and MCF 7), and lung cancer cell (A549) viability of red rice and black rice were investigated, to evaluate the functional properties of colored rice. The extraction yields and the total phenolics contents of the rice cultivars were Heugseol > Heugkwang > Hongjinju > Jeogjinju > Ilpum. Also, the DPPH radical scavenging activity of the black rice did not differ from that of the red rice, whereas its activity among its cultivars was Jeogjinju > Heugseol > Heugkwang > Hongjinju > Ilpum. The ABTS antioxidant activity of the black rice (Heugkwang, Heugseol) was greater than that of the red rice. The total phenolics was partly attributed to its high antioxidant. On the other hand, the effect of the red rice on the lung cancer cell (A549) viability was higher than that of the black rice. The breast cancer cell (MCF 7) growth inhibition activity of the black rice did not differ from that of the red rice. Our results indicate that the ABTS antioxidant activity of black rice is better than that of red rice, and the lung cancer cell (A549) viability of red rice is better than that of black rice.
