'BaegMi(白薇)' is one of the Chinese crude drugs used mainly as an antipyretic and diuretic. The botanical origin of the crude drug has never been studied pharmacognostically. To clarify the botanical origin of BaegMi, the morphological and anatomical characteristics of Cynanchum species growing in Korea were studied. As a result, BaegMi was proved to be the root of Cynanchum atratum and Cynanchum ascyrifolium.

최근에 중등학교 학내 전산망에서 동영상 위주의 멀티미디어 학습 자료를 이용한 학습이 많아짐에 따라, 실제 수업 시간이나 자율 학습 시간에 동영상 학습 자료를 활용했을 때 트래픽 특성이 구체적으로 어떻게 나타나는 지를 정량적으로 규명하는 것이 요구된다. 이에 본 논문에서는 고등학교 1개교와 중학교 1개교에 대해 동영상 학습 자료를 이용한 학습 시 학내 전산망에서 나타나는 트래픽 특성을 트래픽 분석 도구를 이용하여 분석하였다. 특히, 학교 내에 자체 웹 서버의 유무, 컴퓨터 접속 대수 등을 주요 변인으로 하여 동영상 실행 시 나타나는 현상들에 대한 측정 결과들을 제시하였다. 측정 결과로부터 다음과 같은 특성들을 얻어낼 수 있었다. 첫째, 학교 내에 자체 웹 서버의 유무가 전송 트래픽 량에 상당한 영향을 주었다. 둘째, 동시 컴퓨터 접속 대수의 증가가 끊김 현상과 같은 트래픽 특성에 영향을 주었다. 이러한 측정 및 분석 결과를 볼 때, 적게는 수십 명 많게는 수백 명의 학생이 동시에 인터넷을 통해 학습을 한다면 학내 전산망의 구성 형태나 동시 접속자 수에 따라 원활한 학습을 가져오지 못하고 많은 문제를 가져 올 것으로 예상되었다.

Objective : Although minimally invasive posterior cervical foraminotomy (MI-PCF) is an established approach for motion preservation, the outcomes are variable among patients. The objective of this study was to identify significant factors that influence motion preservation after MI-PCF. Methods : Forty-eight patients who had undergone MI-PCF between 2004 and 2012 on a total of 70 levels were studied. Cervical parameters measured using plain radiography included C2-7 plumb line, C2-7 Cobb angle, T1 slope, thoracic outlet angle, neck tilt, and disc height before and 24 months after surgery. The ratios of the remaining facet joints after MI-PCF were calculated postoperatively using computed tomography. Changes in the distance between interspinous processes (DISP) and the segmental angle (SA) before and after surgery were also measured. We determined successful motion preservation with changes in DISP of ${\leq}3mm$ and in SA of ${\leq}2^{\circ}$. Results : The differences in preoperative and postoperative DISP and SA after MI-PCF were $0.03{\pm}3.95mm$ and $0.34{\pm}4.46^{\circ}$, respectively, fulfilling the criteria for successful motion preservation. However, the appropriate level of motion preservation is achieved in cases in which changes in preoperative and postoperative DISP and SA motions are 55.7 and 57.1%, respectively. Based on preoperative and postoperative DISP, patients were divided into three groups, and the characteristics of each group were compared. Among these, the only statistically significant factor in motion preservation was preoperative disc height (Pearson's correlation coefficient=0.658, p<0.001). The optimal disc height for motion preservation in regard to DISP ranges from 4.18 to 7.08 mm. Conclusion : MI-PCF is a widely accepted approach for motion preservation, although desirable radiographic outcomes were only achieved in approximately half of the patients who had undergone the procedure. Since disc height appears to be a significant factor in motion preservation, surgeons should consider disc height before performing MI-PCF.

An unrecorded species of Oldenlandia brachypoda DC. is newly reported from Seogwipo-si, Jejudo, This species is distinguished from Oldenlandia diffusa, the related taxa by the surface and length of the pedicel, the number of flowerd, the shape of the calyx and capsule. The new Korean name 'je-ju-baeg-un-pul', was given considering the collect locality. The illustration, description and key of characters are provided.

We have recently experienced a third ventricular tumor from a 63-year old woman who presented with paraparesis, voiding difficulty and general weakness. Histopathologic study of the tumor was compatible with recently reported and newly termed chordoid glioma. Clinical behavior of the reported tumors were mostly benign but because of its very close proximity to the hypothalamus, some of the subtotally removed tumors recurred or some of the patients died of postoperative complications. The presenting patient regained normal leg power after removal of the tumor followed by ventriculoperitoneal shunt and discharged on her own feet.

This case report describes a variation of the flexor digitorum brevis (FDB) with a separated muscle belly and tendon at the fifth toe. The narrow tendon and muscle belly for the fifth toe arose from the intermuscular septum between the FDB and abductor digiti minimi adjacent to the arising fibers of the FDB, separating from its other fibers. The tendon and muscle belly for the fifth toe became wider at the base of the metatarsal bones and narrower as it coursed toward the toes in a fusiform shape. The tendon and muscle belly for the fifth toe became thin at the midfoot and coursed just beneath the flexor digitorum longus tendon and entered the digital tendinous sheath. FDB variations including that described herein should be considered when performing various surgical procedures and evaluating the biomechanics of the foot.

Recently, there has been much research to develope and apply RFID technology, which has a kcy role in the upcoming ubiquitous society, in many fields such as physical distribution, traffic control, medical service, and so on. However, there has been little research on a ubiquitous education or learning including 'u-Campuses' and 'u-Libraries'. Based on the characteristics of RFlD, this paper proposes a system for English learning required in globalization age. RFID tags and sensors utilize wireless communications to track the location and status information of the user to deliver English situated learning services. The current RFID-based system should use quite a different rniddleware, compared with a general-purpose middleware on server or desktop. The RFID system is used on a mobile PDA and consists of essential APIs such as reader and tag control, queue, and filter management.

This study was conducted to investigate effects of honeybee venom (Apis mellifera L. BV) on the calving, the growth performance and blood chemistry occurrence of Hanwoo calves. A total of twenty, a 3 day old male experimental calves were allocated into four groups, BV treated (0.05 mg/kg, 0.1 mg/kg and 0.2 mg/kg BV, n=5, respectively) and non-treated (n=5, Control) of Hanwoo calves in Icheon, Kyonggi province. Treatment of BV in calves increased body weight and weight gain during 60 days compared with control group. The concentrations of IgG in blood were significantly increased in BV groups compared with control at 60 days after treatment with BV. Cholesterol and glucose concentrations in BV group were significantly lower with control at 60 days. There were no differences in plasma biochemical components including aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphate (AKLP), total protein, albumin, globuline, total bilirubin, creatinine, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and $Ca^+$. In conclusion, the BV treatment had effect on growth, the score of the calf scours and blood biochemical profile.

Underserved area is a region that has a lack of healthcare resources. In the context of Korea, however, there are not enough detailed criteria for underserved areas. In this study, we aimed to develop indicators for underserved area through Delphi technique. We systematically reviewed the existing measure of underserved area. Sixty indicators were extracted as candidates across four domains in secondary medical care. Four domains are demand, medical resource, quality of care, and health outcome. To develop indicator, two round Delphi survey was conducted among 15 professional experts such as professionals and public administrators. In conclusion, 2 final indicators (accessibility, medical utilization) was determined as an appropriate measure in order to designate underserved area for secondary medical services. Using our criteria from Delphi technique, 36 areas were found as underserved areas for the secondary medical care.
