For brain perfusion SPECT imaging, $^{99m}Tc$-HMPAO and $^{99m}Tc$-ECD are commonly used. Although these two tracers usually show similar distribution, it is well known that discrepant finding might be noted between $^{99m}Tc$-HMPAO and $^{99m}Tc$-ECD imaging in some conditions. Luxury perfusion(perfusion/metabolism mismatch) is one of the examples and could be observed in subacute cerebral infarction. We report a case of subacute cerebral infarction that revealed luxury perfusion. Increased perfusion was found in $^{99m}Tc$-HMPAO SPECT and perfusion defect was found in $^{99m}Tc$-ECD SPECT. We found large area of mismatch with a consecutive acquisition-subtraction method. Crossed cerebellar diaschisis was observed in both SPECT images.

Cordyceps militaris is being studied and cultivated as a medicinal mushroom having many valuable biological and pharmaceutical activities. In the breeding of new C. militaris mushroom, single ascospores were isolated and examined their mycelial growth, mycelial density, and production of stroma and perithecia. Among them selected isolates were crossed and hybrids were produced showing high quality fruiting bodies on artificial media. Mycelial growth rate of new strain 'Dowonhongcho' was higher than that of better on 'Yedang 3' on SDAY at $10-25^{\circ}C$. The stromata of new strain were club-shaped and bright orange-red. Its height was 6.1 cm and the cordycepin content was 0.34% on average. The new strain showed 9% higher yield than 'Yedang 3' with producing firmer fruit bodies. The optimum temperature for mycelial growth was $22{\sim}25^{\circ}C$ and the optimum temperature for stroma development was $18{\sim}22^{\circ}C$. Fruiting bodies were began to produce 45 days later after inoculation. This new cultivar may serve as a valuable one for artificial cultivation and industrial-scale production of C. militaris.

Interspecific heterokaryons were obtained by polyethylene glycol induced fusion of protoplasts from auxotrophic mutants of P. ostreatus+P. cornucopiae, P. ostreatus+P. florida, P. ostreatus+P. sajor-caju, P. florida+P. cornucopiae, P. florida+P. sajor-caju and P. sajor-caju+P. cornucopiae protoplasts. The Fusion products of protoplasts were induced by MCM+benomyl, but segregation of sectors were not identified. Interspecific fusion products of protoplasts between incompatible strains did not form true clamp connections and did not produce fruit bodies. For induction of fertility, interspecific heterokaryons crossed with their parents by hyphal anastomosis.

Chinese CGMS (Cytoplasmic-Genetic Male Sterility) is being transfered to Korean cultivars which will be used as CGMS maintainers. These maintainer lines along with the Chinese CGMS lines and their maintainer lines were crossed with another group of Korean cultivars which will be used as the fertility restorers, and their yield heterosis were examined. The yield heterosis was calculated as high as 113.0-221.1 % in terms of heterosis (F$_1$/Midparent) with the grand mean of 150.5%, and, 86.1-179.8% in terms of heterobeltiosis (F$_1$/better parent) with the grand mean of 125.3%. Among the female parent groups, Chinese mainteiners were the highest following by Chinese MS lines and the Korean maintainers were the lowest. Heterobeltiosis of yield components were 92.7%, 120.0%, 103.0% and 112.0% for number of panicles/unit area, number of grains/panicle, fertility per cent and 1000 grain weight, respectively. Path-coefficients of yield components to the yield were calculated. The highest one was number of grains per panicle ranging 0.8073-0.8649 followed by the 1000 grain weight ranging 0.2000-0.5032. The grain yield ratios to the grand mean were calculated in terms of combining ability. It was highest with the Chinese maintainers followed by Chinese MS lines and The Korean maintainers were lowest. This facts bring cautions to the breeding efforts to transfer the Chinese CGMS in to Korean maintainers.

This experiment was carried out to obtain the information on the variation of chromosome number in pollen mother cell (PMC) and somatic cell of the progeny from the cross between hexaploid triticale cv. Sinkihomil and five hexaploid wheat varieties. The results were summarized as follows: Number of uni-, bi- and tri-valent in PMC was 11.9, 14.4 and 0.44, respectively, in the F$_1$ between triticale and wheat. Significant positive correlation between the pollen fertility and seed set rate, pollen fertility and bivalent number of PMC, and seed set rate and bivalent number of PMC, and negative correlation between pollen fertility and uni-or tri-valent of PMC in the cross between triticale and wheat were detected. F$_1$ (crossed seed) had 42 chromosomes, F$_2$ and F$_1$/P$_1$ showed high frequency of hyperploid (42-49) and F$_1$/P$_2$ showed high frequency of hypoploid (36- 42), which suggest non-random segregation for somatic chromosome number. in the cross between the triticale and wheat.

The fertilizations of cv Palkweng, Noupoung, and TN 1 which were crossed artificially at 2$0^{\circ}C$ and 3$0^{\circ}C$ were examined. The meiosis and the rate of maturity of the above 3 cultivars, Iri #326, Milyang #29, Suwon #264, and 3 others which were transplated at different times in paddy field were examined, and the results of which were as follows. 1. Palkweng at 3$0^{\circ}C$ was fertilized within 1.5~4.0 hours ,after pollination and at 20\circ C was done within 2.8~4.5 hours after pollination. 2. Noupoung and TNI at 3$0^{\circ}C$ were fertilized within 2.0~5.5 hours after pollination and at 2$0^{\circ}C$ were done within 3.0~6.0 hours after pollination. 3. The rates of fertilization of the cultivated rice plants at 2$0^{\circ}C$ were dropped in general. TN 1 at 2$0^{\circ}C$ was often fertilized abnormally. 4. In the development of embryo, Palkweng was the earliest at 3$0^{\circ}C$ and TN 1 was the earliest at 2$0^{\circ}C$. 5. Although the time of transplant was late, the pollens of Palkweng was normal because the meiosis of that was normal. but the pollens of TNI was sterile in general because of the abnormal meiosis.

This experiment was carried out to obtain the information on the crossability, germination rate, and pollen viability of the progeny from the cross between hexaploid triticale cv. Sinkihomil and five hexaploid wheat varieties. The results are summarized as follows. Seed set was 28.8 to 41.8% (ave-raged 34.1%) in the cross between triticale and wheat, which resulted in 3.61% in F$_2$(selfed F$_1$), 3.99% in F$_1$/P$_1$ 21. 9% in F$_1$/P$_2$ respectively. However, seed set was extremely low in reciprocal crosses when triticale was used as male. In the backcross, crossability was higher in F$_1$/wheat and triticale/F$_1$ than that in wheat/F$_1$ and F$_1$/triticale, respectively. Germination rate of the crossed seed was 95% in F$_1$ 66.3% in F$_2$ (selfed F$_1$), 62.0% in F$_1$/P$_1$ and 81.0% in F$_1$/P$_2$ from the cross between triticale and wheat, respectively. When triticale cv. Sinkihomil was used as male, seeds were degenerated because of the failure of endorsperm development. This might be caused by AAABBBDDR genome constitution in the cytoplasm from a hexaploid wheat. Pollen fertility of F, plant was averaged 34.1% in the cross between triticale and wheat. Significant positive correlation between the pollen fertility and seed set rate in the cross between triticale and wheat were detected.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify time-dependent prognostic factors and demonstrate the time-dependent effects of important prognostic factors in patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC). Materials and Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 3,653 patients with AGC who underwent curative standard gastrectomy between 1991 and 2005 at the Korea Cancer Center Hospital. Multivariate survival analysis with Cox proportional hazards regression was used in the analysis. A non-proportionality test based on the Schoenfeld residuals (also known as partial residuals) was performed, and scaled Schoenfeld residuals were plotted over time for each covariate. Results: The multivariate analysis revealed that sex, depth of invasion, metastatic lymph node (LN) ratio, tumor size, and chemotherapy were time-dependent covariates violating the proportional hazards assumption. The prognostic effects (i.e., log of hazard ratio [LHR]) of the time-dependent covariates changed over time during follow-up, and the effects generally diminished with low slope (e.g., depth of invasion and tumor size), with gentle slope (e.g., metastatic LN ratio), or with steep slope (e.g., chemotherapy). Meanwhile, the LHR functions of some covariates (e.g., sex) crossed the zero reference line from positive (i.e., bad prognosis) to negative (i.e., good prognosis). Conclusions: The time-dependent effects of the prognostic factors of AGC are clearly demonstrated in this study. We can suggest that time-dependent effects are not an uncommon phenomenon among prognostic factors of AGC.

This study was performed to provide basic information of the development and breeding of new cultivars of Hibiscus syriacus L., which have more beautiful and diverse flowers. Morphological characteristics of the leaves and genetic variation of the leaves of two Jeoktanshim-line cultivars, Bulsae and Pyungsung, were crossed each other. The result of the cross between Bulsae and Pyungsung are as follows: Mean leaf length and width were 6.09cm and 3.36cm, respectively. Mean petiole length was 1.08cm, and mean shoulder width and incision depth were 1.50cm and 0.84cm, respectively. Mean leaf base angle was $98.56^{\circ}$. Leaf index and petiole length were the most important components of leaf characteristics. Two groups were clustered in distance level 5.4. The result of the cross between Pyungsung and Bulsae are as follows: Mean leaf length and width were 5.25cm and 3.10cm, respectively. Mean petiole length was 0.87cm, and mean shoulder width and incision depth were 1.50cm and 0.76cm, respectively. Mean leaf base angle was $107.87^{\circ}$, which was the widest among ten cross combinations. Two groups were clustered with seven leaf characteristics in distance level 4.2. Group I included two small groups, and group II included four small groups.

Cheongryangsan area ($49.51km^2$) has been designated as the Provincial Park in 1982, because it has magnificent aspect and seasonally spectacular landscapes. Especially, Cheongryangsa sitey ($4.09km^2$) has been designated as Noted Scenery No. 23 in 2007, because it has the same topographical landscape as rock cliffs, rock peaks and caves. The most spectacular landscapes are exhibited in the Cheongryangsan Conglomerate and Osipbong Basalt. There are twelve rock peaks on the ridges of the two strata, and many rock cliffs in the several valleys of strata, in which a few caves are formed by differential weathering and erosion. The valleys, in which flow Cheongryang, Bukgok and Cheonae streams, are classified as fault valleys along WNW-ESE faults. The rock cliffs were generated from vertical joints parallel to WNW-ESE faults in the two strata, and the caves were formed by differential weathering and erosion along bedding of sandstones and shales intercalated in the conglomerates. The rock peaks are landscapes formed by differential erosion along crossed vertical joints in the ridges. The vertical joints are developed subparallel to two WNW-ESE faults and a NNE-WWS fault. Therefore the topographical features are caused by existence of the faults and Lithologic difference in the Cheongryangsan Conglomerate and Osipbong Basalt, and by differential weathering and erosion along them.
