The plant names Hwangjeong and Wiyu were written in Chinese characters in Hyang-yak-jib-seong-bang during the early Chosen dynasty. However, soon after, Hwangjeong and Wiyu were written in Korean characters as Jukdae and Dung-gul-re, respectively. However, since under the Japanese imperialist period in Korea, the taxonomic identities of these two Korean names have been incorrectly understood, with scientific names incorrectly assigned as well to these two names thus far. The results of the present study prove that Hwangjeong is Polygonatum sibiricum and that its Korean name should be Jukdae, its initial Korean name, and not Cheung-cheung-gal-go-ri-dung-gul-re, as used recently. Meanwhile, during the Japanese imperialist period, Wiyu was termed P. officinale or P. japonicum with the Korean name of Dung-gul-re. However, the correct scientific names were shown to be synonyms of P. odoratum.

Gastric carcinoid tumor is a neoplasm that arises from enterochromaffine-like (ECL) cells in the gastric fundus. It is a rare disease that comprises less than 2% of all gastric neoplasms; however its incidence has been recently increasing. We experienced one case of gastric carcinoid tumor that was revealed to be multiple polypoid lesions. A 29-year-old female patient visited a hospital three years ago due to syncope. The blood hemoglobin was measured as 6.0 g/dl. Gastroscopy revealed multiple polypoid lesions with bleeding; therefore endoscopic clipping was performed. The polyps were diagnosed as carcinoid tumor via endoscopic biopsy. She was transferred to our hospital because of persistent iron deficiency anemia that was caused by bleeding at the gastric polyps. Gastroscopy revealed more than twenty various-sized polypoid lesions from the mid-body to the antrum. The blood hemoglobin level was 9.0g/dl. Total gastrectomy was performed under the diagnosis of gastric carcinoid tumor with bleeding. All of the gastric polyps were diagnosed as carcinoid tumors, and any metastasis to the regional lymph nodes was not found. Eighteen months after operation, the blood hemoglobin was increased to 12.8g/dl with no evidence of recurrence. Surgical resection should be considered for treating gastric carcinoid tumor with continuous bleeding.

Two herbal medicines of the Polygonatum genus, namely Polygonati Rhizoma and Polygonati Odorati Rhizoma, are difficult to distinguish from each other through exterior morphologic aspects. Furthermore, because the standard components for physiochemical distinction have not yet been standardized, the identification of these medicines through botanic taxology is based on genetic methods of random amplified microsatellite polymorphism (RAMP). For the RAMP evaluation, we used five sets of UBC microsatellite primers 811, 818, 834, 836, 842 and random primer M1. Although no specific band that could clearly distinguish Polygonati Rhizoma from Polygonati Odorati Rhizoma was found, 11 Polygonatum plants could be divided into two groups by this method. P. sibiricum and P. stenophyllum were classified to group I and the others were to group II. As P. sibiricum and P. stenophyllum were very similar in genetic and morphologic perspective, the results suggest that P. stenophyllum belongs to the Polygonati Rhizoma family.

Effects of Wisoo and Baekwhe acupuncture on serum glucose and lipid composition were investigated in high fat diet induced diabetic rat. Plasma glucose, free fatty acids and $\Beta-lipoprotein$ concentration showed a high reduction in wisoo acupuncture group compared to those of control group, however the values of baekwhe acupuncture group showed no significantly different those of control group. Plasma triglyceride and LDL-cholesterol concentration showed a tendency to decrease in the wisoo acupuncture groups, however the values of baekwhe showed no significantly different those of control group. Total cholesterol concentration showed a high reduction in wisoo acupuncture groups and HDL-cholesterol concentration showed a high values in wisoo acupuncture group, however these values no significantly different in all treatment groups.

This study was carried out to search for natural anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds from 5 medicinal plants (Carthamus tinctorius seed, Cyperus rotundus, Schizonepeta tenuifolia, Polygonatum odoratum var. pluriflorum, and Paeonia lactiflora). These plants were extracted with 70% ethanol. In order to measure total antioxidant activity of flavonoids, polyphenol content was measured. Radical scavenging activities of extracts were examined using a-a-Diphenyl-${\beta}$-picrylhydrazyl ($DPPH{\cdot}$), 2,2-azino-bis 3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid ($ABTS{\cdot}$), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) and superoxide anion radical assays. C. tinctorius seed extracts showed the highest polyphenol and flavonoid contents as well as strong $DPPH{\cdot}$, $ABTS{\cdot}$, FRAP, and superoxide anion radical scavenging activity. Also, C. tinctorius seed extracts showed the highest nitric oxide (NO) production inhibitory effect. Theses results indicate that the C. tinctorius seed extracts can be used as a functional material due to their effective anti-oxidative and antiinflammatory activities.

The phylogenetic relationship of Polygonatum species were examined by RAPD analysis. Polygonatum Rhizoma is called 'Whang-jung', and used Polygonatum sibiricum Redoute in defined as a source plant in Korean Pharmacopoeia. Polygonati Odorati Rhizoma is called 'Wui-yu', and P. odoratum Druce var. pluriflorum Ohiwi and related species are defined is source plants in Korean Herbal Pharmacopoeia. In UPGMA analysis, Polygonum was divided into two major groups. Polygonatum sibiricum and P. stenophyllum was placed in a cluster. On the other hand, P. falcatum A. Gray was included in the other cluster comprising. P. odoratum and related species, which are used as source plants for Polygonati Odorati Rhizome.

"난경(難經)"의 오유혈(五兪穴) 이론(理論)이 가장 많이 제기되는 문제는 '육십팔난(六十八難)'의 오유혈(五兪穴)의 주치작용(主治作用)이다. "영추 본수편(靈樞 本輸篇)"에서는 다만 오유혈(五兪穴)의 명칭과 위치에 대해서 소개하고 있지, 계통적인 주치에 대한 설명이 없고, '육십팔난(六十八難)'에서 명확히 5가지 종류의 질병에 대해서 귀납(歸納)하고 오유혈(五兪穴)이 주관하는 병증(病證)을 분별하여 후세의 모범이 되고 있다. 그러나 "난경(難經)"에서 오유혈(五兪穴)에 대해서 물이 흐르는 형상을 비유하여 사지(四肢)에서 체간(體幹)으로 향하는 노선으로 설명하고 있는데, 이는 "내경(內經)"의 십이경맥(十二經脈)이 여환무단(如環無端)하는 체계와 전혀 부합하지 않아서 학문과 임상에 있어서 지금까지도 혼란을 야기하고 있다. 그동안 "갑골문자(甲骨文字)"를 해독하기 위한 심도 있고 다양한 연구가 진행된 결과 고문자(古文字)의 해독(解讀)잘못된 계산식을 위한 공구서(工具書)들이 많이 개발되었는데, 본 논문은 그러한 고문자(古文字) 해독(解讀)의 연구방법(硏究方法)을 통해 "난경(難經)"의 오유혈(五兪穴) 이론(理論)의 난제(難題)를 해결하고자 한 것이다. 예를 들어 정형수경합(井滎輸經合)에 대해서 "난경(難經)"의 '육십팔난(六十八難)'에서 "소출위정(所出爲井), 소류위형(所流爲滎), 소주위유(所注爲兪), 소행위경(所行爲經), 소입위합(所入位合)"이라고 설명한 그 것 중에서 출(出), 류(流), 주(注), 행(行), 입(入)과 정(井), 형(滎), 유(兪), 경(經), 합(合)의 글자를 고문자(古文字) 해독(解讀)의 측면에서 재해석함으로써 이를 의학적(醫學的)으로 활용할 수 있도록 그 실마리를 제공하였다.

We sequenced the genome of the Neisseria sp. KEM232 isolated from the smooth surface caries of human cavity of a 7-year old male in Republic of Korea by using the standard dilution plating technique. The genome comprises a single circular 2,371,912 bp chromosome with a G + C content of 58.5%, 2,210 protein-coding genes, 108 pseudo genes, 51 RNA genes, and one CRISPR array. Based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity and average nucleotide identity, the strain KEM232 is most closely related to Neisseria baciliformis.

Lactobacillus plantarum is widely found in fermented foods and has various phenotypic and genetic characteristics to adapt to the environment. Here we report the complete annotated genome sequence of the L. plantarum strain JBE245 (= KCCM43243) isolated for malolactic fermentation of apple juice. The genome comprises a single circular 3,262,611 bp chromosome with 2907 coding regions, 45 pseudogenes, and 91 RNA genes. The genome contains 4 malate dehydrogenase genes, 3 malate permease genes and various types of plantaricin-synthesizing genes. These genetic traits meet the selection criteria of the strains that should prevent the spoilage of apple juice during fermentation and efficiently convert malate to lactic acid.
