The wood decay fungi are a diverse taxonomic group that plays a pivotal role in forest carbon cycling. Wood decay fungi use various enzymatic pathways to digest dead or living wood in order to obtain carbon and other nutrients and these enzymatic systems have been exploited for both industrial and medical applications. Over 600 wood decay fungi species have been described in Korea; however, the recent application of molecular markers has dramatically altered the taxonomy of many of these wood decay fungi at both the genus and species levels. By combining molecular methods, specifically sequences of the internal transcribed spacer region, with traditional morphological characters, this study identified five new species records for Korea in five genera: Aurantiporus, Favolus, Neofavolus, Loweomyces, and Hymenochaetopsis. Three of these genera (Aurantiporus, Favolus, and Loweomyces) were previously unknown in Korea. The relatively simple morphology of the wood decay fungi often leads to ambiguous taxonomic assignment. Therefore, molecular markers are a necessary component of any taxonomic or evolutionary study of wood decay fungi. Our study highlights the need for a more robust and multifaceted approach in investigating new wood decay fungi in Korea.

Objective : To characterize Five Woons of Asian women who live at Los Angeles area in U.S.A Methods : A set of physical tests and diagnostic questions were given to 242 Asian female subjects who were treated for their symptoms at a clinic of Asian medicine near Los Angeles in USA. The participants were given their constitutions, one of the Five Woons based on their birthdays. The physical tests included a body composition via Inbody 4.0 and an autonomic bioelectric response record via ABR2000. The oneway analysis of variance was applied to compare the means of the Five Woons and the physical test results. The Cross tabulation analysis was also applied to look for the effectiveness of Five Woons on the symptoms. Results : 1. In the body composition items, the LSD(least significant difference) showed that there were significant differences between the Soil Woon and the other Four Woons which are Water, Metal, Fire and Wood Woons in weight, fat, body fat %, BMI (p<0.2). 2. Based on the LSD, significant differences were observed among the Five Woons in R5, R6 and R7(p<0.2). 3. The cross tabulation analysis showed the significant effectiveness of the Five Woons on the five symptoms including dizziness, hot and cold, lower body edema, fatigue and to take a medication for high blood pressure out of 24 diagnostic questions (p<0.2). Conclusions : Further clinical research is necessary to develop a more delicate questionnaire and look for ways of characterizing the Five Woons. The diagnosis and corresponding treatment based on the Five Woons should be further studied in view of the Oriental medicine.

Objective: To relate with significant relationship between symptoms and Five Zhang(五臟)symptoms in Five Woon Constitutions and to characterize Five Woons of Asian women who live at Los Angeles area in U.S.A. Methods: 19 diagnostic questions were given to 286 Asian females subjects who were treated for their symptoms at an Asian medical clinic near Los Angeles in USA. The participants were given their constitutions, one of the Five Woons based on their birthdays. The Cross tabulation analysis was also applied to look for the effectiveness of Five Woons on the symptoms. Results: 1. The cross tabulation analysis showed the significant effectiveness of the Five Woons on the five symptoms including dizziness, hot and cold, lower body edema and face fever(p<0.1). 2. The dizziness and the hot and cold were related with Liver diseases, the lower body edema was related with Kidney diseases and the face fever was related to Heart diseases. Conclusions: This study can explain the relationship between the significant symptoms of Five Woons and Five Zhang(五臟)symptoms with reference which is the book by Yoon, ChoChang who lived 1700 years. Further clinical research is necessary to develop more delicate questionnaires and look for ways of characterizing the Five Woons. The diagnosis and corresponding treatment based on the Five Woons should be further studied in view of the Asian medicine.

Through ten field surveys in Kanghwa Island from August of 1997 to March of 2002, total 107 specimens of wood-rotting fungi belonging to the Aphyllophorales were collected and identified to the species. They taxonomically amounted to 10 families, 31 genera, and 48 species. Among them, one family, Steccherinaceae, and four genera, Australohydnum, Castanoporus, Dacryobolus and Haplotrichum were confirmed as new to Korea. Five unrecorded species, Australohydnum dregeanum, Castanoporus castaneus, Dacryobolus karstenii, Haplotrichum conspersum and Hyphoderma odontiiforme were registered here with descriptions.

This study was conducted to describe unrecorded five species of thrips from leaf litter and dead wood in Korea. Described three species of Elaphrothrips 1,2,3, Podothrips sasacola and Pentagonothrips antennalis are for the first time in Korea. Specimens of thrips were collected in the area of Suweon, Jeju-Do., Mt. Seolag and Mt. Jiri in Korea, during the period from 1980 to 1981.

The UBV observations of the Brightest RS CVn-type eclipsing binary star AR Lac were made at four observatories, two in Korean and two in the U.S. in the 1980-81 and 1981-82 seasons. As a result of the cooperation, two light curves in the yellow and in the blue were completed for each observing seasons. Ultraviolet observations were also made at three of the four observatories. The orbital period of AR Lac apparantly decreased around 1977. An analysis of our yellow light curves together with five other yellow curves available in the literature since 1975 shows that there seems no periodicity in the migration of the distortion waves. There is a gradual decrease of at least 0.m1 between 1976 and 1982 in the brightness of the cooler component if one assumes that the hotter component is constant.

해마다 반복되는 식중독 발생을 예방하기 위한 한 접근 방법으로써 시판품의 다양한 도마(항균처리 plastic 재질 3종, 항균처리 않은 plastic재질 1종, 나무재질(홍송, 고무나무, 편백나무, 박달나무, 대나무)를 대상으로 세균성 식중독의 주요한 원인균인 Escherichia coli O157:H7, S. Typhimurium, V. vulnificus, V. cholerae, V. parahaemolyticus 및 S. aureus의 6종 미생물에 대하여 저지환 시험과 real-time PCR을 이용한 정량법을 이용하여 항균력을 평가하였다. Plastic 재질의 도마들은 E. coli O157:H7, S. Typhimurium, S. aureus의 식중독균에 대해 항균력을 나타내었고, 항균력이 표시된 도마와 표시되어있지 않은 도마들 간의 항균력 차이는 크지 않았다. 나무 재질의 도마는 V. vulnificus에 대해서 항균력을 나타내었고, 5종의 나무 재질의 도마들 중 대나무 도마는 E. coli O157:H7, S. Typhimurium, V. cholerae, V. vulnificus의 4종의 균에 대해 저지환 시험에서 항균력을 나타내었으며, real-time PCR로 정량한 결과에서는 S. aureus에 대해 생육억제력을 나타내어 5종의 식중독균에 대하여 가장 광범위한 항균력을 보였다. 이는 대나무에 함유된 polyphenol과 organic acid 등의 작용으로 추측된다. 항균력이 있다고 표시된 도마에서도 시험 대상 균들 중 일부에 대해서만 항균력이 나타났으며, 재질별로 항균력에 차이가 나타났던 결과들로부터 도마에 대한 위생상의 지나친 신뢰는 큰 위험을 초래할 가능성이 있음을 인식하고, 조리의 최종관리자들에 의한 일상적인 철저한 관리가 필요하다고 판단된다.

본 연구는 진주시 소재 우산고로쇠 인공림에서의 수액 채취 시기별 출수량 및 구성성분을 분석하기 위해 수행되었다. 수액채취는 한 달 간격으로 2회에 걸쳐 이루어졌으며, 각 회당 채취목은 각각 소경목(흉고직경 10~20 cm) 5본씩 이었다. 일평균 기온이 1.16 ± 2.15℃로 조사된 1차 시기(2019년 1월 10일 ~ 2월 09일)의 수액 총 출수일이 약 32일, 총 출수량은 약 60.59 L로 관찰되었다. 일평균 기온이 2.55 ± 1.30℃로 조사된 2차 시기(2019년 2월 12 ~ 22일)에는 총 출수일이 약 11일이었으며 총 출수량은 약 13.38 L로 1차 시기 기준의 약 22%에 해당하는 양으로 감소하였다. 1, 2차 채취 시기별 수액의 당 성분 분석 결과 자당(Sucrose)의 함량이 출수초기 최고 2.5%를 나타냈으며 출수 종료시점에는 최소 0.8% 대로 감소하였다. 포도당(Glucose)과 과당(Fructose)은 Sucrose에 비하여 함량이 낮았으며, 0에 가까운 수치를 나타내었다. 채취 수액의 무기성분 분석 결과, 주요 성분은 칼륨(41.69 ~ 89.75 mg/kg), 칼슘(24.66 ~ 48.14 mg/kg), 마그네슘(10.18 ~ 27.25 mg/kg)이었다. 1, 2차 채취 시기별 수액 간의 sucrose함량 및 무기성분의 함량 범위는 유의적인 차이를 보이지는 않았다. 결과적으로 시기를 달리한 우산고로쇠 수액 채취에 있어서 출수량은 큰 차이를 보였지만 당 및 무기성분 함량의 경우에는 유의적 차이가 나타나지는 않았다.
