Feeding behaviors of the pear psylla, Cacopsylla pyricola, and their changing feeding behaviors were recorded and analyzed with an electrical penetration graph (EPG) analysis against 5 insecticides. And their mortality against insecticides were carried out in the laboratory. General feeding behavior patterns of C. pyricola were changed by insecticide treatments. Especially, the type and frequency of waveforms differently occurred depending on a sort of insecticides treated. Total duration of transition to waveform PE1 and phloem ingestion (waveform PE2) were significantly different between treatment and non-treatment of insecticides. When 5 different insecticides were treated on pear leaves, difference of feeding patterns were recorded. In case of treatment of benfuracarb, total duration of non-probes (waveform Np) was appeared higher than any other insecticide. However, when flonicamid and deltamethrin were treatment, total duration of stylet penetration (waveform PA) and xylem ingestion (waveform PG) were appeared higher than other insecticide, respectively. As results feeding behaviour of C. pyricola after treated insecticides with time-based consumed rate of C. pyricola, the rate of non-probe (waveform Np) was longer than start penetration (waveform PA), penetration and ingestion in parenchyma cells (waveform PC1+PC2), ingestion at phloem (waveform PD+PE1+PE2) and xylem (waveform PG). As result of direct spray treatment to C. pyricola, mortality of C. pyricola against imidacloprid was higher than any other insecticide on 24 hours after treatment. However, all of insecticides showed 100% mortality of after 48 hours. On the other hand, when 5 insecticides sprayed on the pear leaves and then C. pyricola located on the treated leaves, benfuracarb showed the most toxicity against C. pyricola among insecticides. These result was consistent with the EPG results that showed relatively longer total duration time of waveform Np (non-probes) by benfuracarb treatment.

Disease control activities of 230 triazolyl quinoline derivatives were investigated against six plant diseases such as rice blast, rice sheath blight, tomato gray mold, tomato late blight, wheat leaf rust (WLR) and barley powdery mildew (BPM). New triazolyl quinolines, KSI-4315 and KSI-4317 exhibited a great in vivo control activities against WLR and BPM, and then were selected for further tests such as preventive, curative, systemic, and persistence against WLR and BPM. The KSI-4315 and KSI-4317 contained MeS moiety and MsO moiety in carbon 4-position, respectively. They possessed both preventive activity and curative activity against WLR and BPM. KSI-4317 showed the better control activity than KSI-4315 against BPM, while KSI-4315 represented the better antifungal activity against WLR. Good persistence of KSI-4315 and KSI-4317 were also observed against WLR and BPM. Persistence of KSI-4315 was similar to that of KSI-4317 on WLR, but KSI-4317 was superior to KSI-4315 on BPM in its persistence. Systemic disease control of KSI-4315 and KSI-4317 was investigated by examining translaminar activity from leaf-under-surface to leaf-upper-surface, systemic activities by leaf to leaf movement and the effect of drenching treatment. Systemicities of KSI-4315 and KSI-4317 were not observed in wheat, but KSI-4317 showed more predominant systemicity than KSI-4315 in barley. These results suggest that KSI-4317 would potentially control WLR and BPM in the fields.

Incidence of rice stripe disease, caused by Rice stripe tenuivirus (RSV), was surveyed during 2002 to 2004. The incidence area and ratio of diseased fields were decreased gradually during those period. Rate of diseased plants were 45.8%, 45.0% and 43.7% in the susceptible cultivars Chucheong, Saechucheong and Ilpum, respectively. However, the rate was 4.4% in resistant cultivar Hwaseong. In addition, breakdown rate was also significantly high in the susceptible cultivars in Chucheong, Saechucheong and Ilpum showing 33.6, 33.2 and 31.9%, respectively. In Hwaseong, the breakdown rate was 0.8%. Collection efficiency was compared between two insect vector collection methods. Insect-sucking machine method was much more efficient than sweeping net method in collecting small brown plant hopper (SBPH). According to the survey of the population density of the insect vector during 2002 to 2004, the national average population density was gradually decreased year by year, 3.6, 2.3, and 1.3%, respectively. This result was significantly related with the decrease of the incidence of rice stripe disease. Control efficiency of rice stripe disease by treating several seedling box and water surface with insecticides against SBPH resulted that imidacloprid GR, Fipronil FG, Clothianidin+Probenazole GR and Thiamethoxam GR showed over 80% of control efficiency at 28 days after treatment at the early stage in nursery.

A survey was conducted to research on planting system and pesticide spray methods including spray volume, sprayer types, and spray nozzles used in apple orchards. The survey was deployed to 395 farmers in 17 cities and towns including 7 regions which are major producers of apple via interview. Major apple varieties were Fuji (79.2%) and Hongro (50.9%) and high density planting system was mainly used in apple orchards (distance between rows: 4.0-4.5 m (73.1%); planting distance: 1.5-3.5 m (88.6%); canopy height: 3.0-4.5 m (88.2%)). The percentages of sprayer types were 77.6% and 22.1% for speed sprayer (airblast sprayer) and power sprayer, respectively. Spray volumes per 10a were 250-300 L in April, the month of spraying the lowest volume, and 300-400 L in June-August, the months of spraying the highest volume. Significant difference in spray volumes were not observed between conventional planting and high density planting, but regional spray volume showed significant difference. The main nozzles used by apple farmers using power sprayers were super jet nozzle (45%), super wide nozzle (26%), and 2-3 vertical head nozzle (25%). The results will helpful to establish practical agrochemicals management policy including suggestion of pesticide spray volume and evaluation of pesticide residue data and efficacy data.

The aim of this study was to investigate the beneficial effect of a daily dose of 300 mg of ASU taken for more than 3 months on the subjects diagnosed as osteoarthritis of temporomandibular joint by RDC/TMD. Total 68 outpatients(15-54y) of female except menopause in Orofacial Pain Clinics of the Pusan National University Hospital were randomly assigned to either an ASU group(n=36) or a placebo group(n=32). The pain, noise and limited mouth opening(LOM) were evaluated by numerical analogue scale(NAS, range 0-10) and maximum comfortable opening(MCO) were measured by milimeter scale. The difference of simple uptake rate(SUR) on bone scan, hot spot(HS) on coronal SPECT, condylar bony changes on CT between the ASU and placebo groups were compared to investigate the objective effect. The obtained results were as follows. 1. Comparison of the NAS of pain, noise, LOM and MCO before treatment and 3, 6 and 9 months after treatment showed no significant difference between the ASU and placebo groups. 2. Comparison of the NAS of pain, noise, LOM and MCO before treatment and 3, 6 and 9 months after treatment showed no significant difference between the ASU and placebo groups without splint treatment, but showed more increased MCO in the ASU group than the placebo group with splint treatment at 6, 9 months after treatment. 3. Comparison of the NAS of pain before treatment and 3, 6 and 9 months after treatment that the NAS of pain at first visit divided into two groups(above or below 6) showed more decreased the NAS of pain in the ASU group than the placebo group that the NAS of pain at first visit was above 6. 4. Comparison of the NAS of pain, noise, LOM and MCO during 6 months period showed improvement of clinical symptoms within group, but no significant difference between subjects. 5. The simple uptake ratio(SUR) on bone scan and hot spot(HS) on coronal SPECT showed more increased SUR and HS in affected side than non-affected side of the ASU and placebo groups. 6. Comparing of condylar bony changes, osseous remodeling were observed highest, osteophyte lowest in the affected and non-affected side of the two groups. After treatment, comparison of condylar bony changes were observed more decreased erosive features in the ASU group than the placebo group.

For the environment-friendly control of beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua, in spring onion fields, we have examined an alternative application method. Twenty-five insecticides registered for spring onion were tested for control effect against the beet armyworm in the laboratory, then the best 9 chemical and a single biological insecticides were selected and compared with 2 new isolates of Bacillus thuringiensis in a polyvinyl house. After that, 4 chemical and 3 B. thuringiensis treatments were used in the field for the control of beet armyworm in the spring onion. Two application methods are used: one is triple treatments with the same chemical and the other is alternative application with different chemicals and B. thuringiensis for 7 days intervals. Indoxacarb WP - chlorfluazuron EC - B.t. var. kurstaki CAB141 and indoxacarb WP - methoxyfenozide + spinosad SC - Chlorfluazuron EC - B.t. var. aizawai CAB109, B.t. var. kurstaki CAB141 showed greater than 78% mortality of beet armyworm larvae and greater than 43% damage decrease in spring onions infested by beet armyworm. These results showed that alternative applications had higher control effect than any other applications. It was suggested that alternative applications with microbial biological agents such as B. thuringiensis might minimize the development of insecticide resistance and might be used as the environment-friendly control of the beet armyworm.

At present, the treatments of the radiation-induced diseases are only performing by the palliative treatment technique. Moreover, radiation protective agents are a little toxic for human being and this seriously limits their applicability with various complications in clinical uses. Accordingly, as a part of the aim of gain of the basic data for protective roles of some radioprotectors, the present investigation was carried out to evaluate the comparative radioprotective effects by the administration of DDC, MEA, WR-2721. Results are shown for statistically significant analysis and correlation with each group as follows; 1. The proper doses of the radioprotectors were DDC; 1,550 mg/kg, MEA; 450 mg/kg, WR-2721; 780 mg/kg of the mouse body weight. 2. DMF(Dose modification factor) of LD 50/10 and LD 50/30 for whole body irradiation was DDC; 1.2, MEA; 1.4, WR-2721; 1.9 and DDC; 1.7, MEA; 1.8, WR-2721; 2.5 respectively. 3. DMF for radiation reaction of jejunal crypt was DDC: 1.07, MEA: 1.21 and WR-2721: 1.76 and that of jejunal crypt cell was DDC: 1.04, MEA: 1.08 and WR-2721: 1.38 respectively. 4. Conclusively, WR-2721 was the most effective drung among the three radioprotectors and this result must be a supportive data for further study for clinical application.

Creeping bentgrass (Agrostis palustris Huds.) had been the problematic weed for Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) fairway since it shows light green color all year. Experiment was carried out to determine the best herbicides combination to control creeping bentgrass in Kentucky bluegrass. fairway without injury. To investigate the efficacy of herbicides, five post-emergence herbicides of asulam WG ($87.6\%$), imazaquin SL ($20\%$), fenoxaprop-P-ethyl EC ($7\%$), mecoprop SL ($50\%$), triclopyr-TEA SL ($30\%$) and one pre-emergence herbicide pendimethalin EC ($31.7\%$) treated on 21 Sept. and 10 Nov. 2003. Kentucky bluegrass visual quality evaluated 30 and 50 days after application for phytotoxic effects of the herbicides. As a result, asulam WG (0.2g/$m^{2}$) and imazaquin SL (0.3ml/$m^{2}$) showed approximately $90\%$ of control in creeping bentgrass, but visual quality of Kentucky bluegrass significantly decreased from 20 to 50DAT (day after treatment). However, creeping bentgrass was acceptably controlled(over $80\%$) by fenoxaprop-P-ethyl EC (0.4ml/$m^{2}$)+triclopyr-TEA SL(0.3 ml/$m^{2}$) applied twice on 21 Sept. and 1 Oct. 2003 without serious injury on Kentucky bluegrass. Therefore, it is suggested that an application of fenoxaprop-P-ethyl EC (0.4ml/ $m^{2}$)+triclopyr-TEA SL (0.3 ml/$m^{2}$) may be more effective to control creeping bentgrass in Kentucky bluegrass with the least phytotoxicity by herbicides.

Background : Sustained-release theophylline, which is generally prescribed as a twice-daily equal-dose regimen, is one of the more common asthma treatments. The development of a sustained-release drug delivery technology that enables improved control of the theophylline blood levels represents a significant advancement in both the efficacy and safety of dosing. Method : A crossover study was conducted with 25 adult chronic asthmatic patients requiring daily bronchodilator therapy. The study group included thirteen males and twelve females with ages ranging from 19 to 71 years. The overall approach was to place the patients first on the twice-daily preparation($Etheophyl^{(R)}$) for 28 days at 8 AM and 8 PM, and measure the pulmonary function and theophylline level on the 28th day. The patients were subsequently switched to the once-daily preparation($Uniphyl^{(R)}$) in the same daily dose at 8 PM on the 29th day and the same parameters were measured on the 56th day. Results : The mean serum levels of theophylline were $8.18{\pm}1.66\;{\mu}g/ml$ in the $Etheophyl^{(R)}$-treated period and $8.00{\pm}1.75\;{\mu}g/ml$ in the $Uniphyl^{(R)}$-treated period. ln addition, the $FEV_1$ showed $71.40{\pm}7.48$ percent in the $Etheophyl^{(R)}$-treated and $69.18{\pm}9.00$ percent in the $Uniphyl^{(R)}$-treated period. Thus there were no significant differences between the once-daily and twice-daily preparation. Conclusion : The results indicated little clinical differences between the two medications. The two drugs are equally effective in controlling asthma over the four weeks of treatment.
