The location of the polyhedrin gene of Bmbyx mori nuclear polyhedrosis virus(BmNPV) was determined by using a cloned polyhedrin gene from the Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus(AcNPV) as a hybridization probe. The 7.4 Kb PstⅠ fragment DNA of Bm-NPV was cloned to plasmid pUC19 vector. A fragment containing this gene was mapped and sequenced in its entire polyhedrin reading frame. Nucleotide sequences comparison of the polyhedrin of the BmNPV to that of previously reported by Ⅰatrou(1985) revealed that the sequence varied in 10 base, Comparison of the amino acid sequence of the two structured gene revealed that coding sequence varied 74 valine to isoleucine, 76 aspargine to serine and 155 methionine to valine.

R-plasmid(pSBK203, 2.5Mdal) conferring chloramphenicol resistance was isolated from mutiple antibiotic resistant Staphylococcus aureus D-H-1. Bacillus subtilis BD170 was transformed by this plasmid and restriction enzyme clevage sites of this plasmid were mapped for the cloning of chloramphenicol resistance gene. Taq I partial digested fragment of pSBK203(1.3kb) inserted into Cla I site of pBD9 appears to have both regulatory region for induction and structural gene for chloramphenicol resistance whereas Rsa I fragment (1.3kb, both ends are staggered away 0.1Kb from those of Taq I fragment) inserted into Sca I site of pBR322 showed constitutive expression in E. coli. Hinf I, Taq I, and Bgl II restriction enzyme recognition sites are found in both Rsa I fragment and Taq I fragment. Among these, Bgl II recognition site was associated with chloramphenicol resistance.

Inappropriate treatment of osteochondral fracture can cause osteoarthritis, pain, functional disorder. With large osteochondral fracture, reduction and fixation of the fragment using metal implant. However, when the bone fragment had less than 2mm, the fragment extracted because of difficulty of fragment fixation. Authors treated patients with fracture fragment thickness less than 2mm of osteochondral dissecans in medial femoral condyle and patella fracture using biodegradable meniscus screw, and then we obtained good result.

A novel chromosomal gene tagging technique using a specific fragment of the fatty acid desaturase-like open reading frame (des-like ORF) from the tox-argK gene cluster of Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola was developed to identify Xanthomonas spp.released into the environment as biocontrol agents. X. campestris pv. convolvuli FB-635, a pathogen of Convolvulus arvensis L., (bindweed), was chosen as the organism in which to develop and test the system. A 0.52 kb DES fragment amplified from P. syringae pv. phaseolicola C-199 was inserted into pGX15, a cosmid clone containing a 10.3 kb Eco RI-HindIII fragment derived from the xanthomonadin biosynthetic gene cluster contained in plasmid pIG102, to create a pigG::DES insertion. The 10.8 kb EcoRI-BamHI fragment carrying the pigG:: DES insertion was cloned into pLAFR3 to generate pLXP22. pLXP22 was then conjugated into X. campestris pv. convolvuli FB-635 and the pigG::DES insertion integrated into the bacterial chromosome by marker exchange. Rifampicin resistant, tetracycline sensitive, starch hydrolyzing, white colonies were used to differentiate the marked strain from yellow pigmented wild-type ones. PCR primers specific for the unique DES fragment were used for direct detection of the marked strain. Result showed the marked strain could be detected at very low levels even in the presence of high levels of other closely related or competitive bacteria. This PCR-based DES-tagging system provides a rapid and specific tool for directly monitoring the dispersal and persistence of Xanthomonas spp.released into the environment.

Sexual reproduction plays an important role in the biology and epidemiology of oomycete plant pathogens such as the heterothallic species Phytophthora infestans. Recent worldwide dispersal of A2 mating type strains of P. infestans resulted in increased virulence, gene transfer, and genetic variation, creating new challenges for disease management. To develop a genetic assay for mating type identification in P. infestans, we used the Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) technique. The primer combination E+AT/M+CTA detected a fragment specific to A1 mating type (Mat-A1) of P. infestans. This fragment was cloned and sequenced, and a pair of primers (INF-1, INF-2) were designed and used to differentiate P. infestans Mat-A1 from Mat-A2 strains. The Mat A1-specific fragment was detected using Southern blot analysis of PCR products amplified with primers INF-1 and INF-2 from genomic DNA of 14 P. infestans Mat-A1 strains, but not 13 P. infestans Mat-A2 strains or 8 other isolates representing several Phytophthora spp. Southern blot analysis of genomic DNAs of P. infestans isolates revealed a 1.6 kb restriction enzyme (EcoRI, BamHI, AvaI)-fragment only in Mat-A1 strains. The A1 mating type-specific primers amplified a unique band under stringent annealing temperatures of $63^{\circ}C-64^{\circ}C$, suggesting that this PCR assay could be developed into a useful method for mating type determination of P. infestans in field material.

A 4-year-old male Yorkshire terrier was referred to us with signs of vomiting and unconsciousness due to a blunt head trauma. Gross examinations detected facial edema, subcutaneous hemorrhage and hypersalivation. A survey radiograph located an occipital fragment which was displaced caudally. A three-dimensional computed tomographic reconstruction demonstrated that the ventral portion of the fragment was attached incompletely. Because of the instability of the fragment, it was decided to perform an esquillectomy. After removing the fragment, the defect was reinforced with a muscular flap originating from the splenius muscle. The patient's condition gradually improved except for a slightly ataxic gait. At 20 months follow-up, there was no evidence of ataxia. The neurological status did not deteriorate before starting surgical intervention, although the patient sustained a skull fracture with severe intracranial hemorrhage. It is likely that the fragment being displaced outwardly played an important role in preventing an increase in intracranial pressure which could have led to neurological deterioration.

Molecular cloning and restriction mapping on ATPase $\alpha$-subunit gene (atpA) were carried out to obtain genomic information concerned with the gene structure and organization in Korean ginseng mitochondria. Two different clones containing the homologous sequence of atpA gene were selected from SalI and PstI libraries of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) of Korean ginseng. The sizes of mtDNA fragments inserted in SalI and PstI clones were 3.4 kb and 13 kb, respectively. Southern blot analysis with [$^{32}P$] labelled Oenothera atPA gene probe showed that atpA gene sequence was located in 2.0 kb XkaI fragment in PstI clone and in 1.7 kb XbaI fragment in SalI clone. A partial sequening ascertained that the SalI clone included about 1.2 kb fragment from SalI restriction site to C-terminal sequence of this gene but about 0.3 kb N-terminal sequence of open reading frame was abscent. The PstI fragment was enough large to cover the full sequence of atpA gene. The same restriction pattern of the overlapped region suggests that both clones include the same fragment of atiA locus. Data of Southern blot analysis and partial nucleotide sequencing suggested that mtDNA of Korean ginseng has a single copy of atpA gene. Key words ATPase a-subunit, mitochondrial DNA, Panax ginseng.

Crown fractures are the most frequent traumatic injuries to permanent teeth and mainly involve the maxillary incisors due to their exposed position in the dental arch. One option for managing crown fractures, when the tooth fragment is present and in good condition, is reattachment of the fragment to its original position. This paper reports on three crown fracture cases in which successful esthetic and functional results were achieved by reattachment of the tooth fragment.

The pKH2 isolated from the multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus SA2 is a 40.98-kb plasmid and mediates resistance to ampicillin, clindamycin, erythromycin, kanamycin, and streptomycin. The 3.4-kb HindIII fragment conferring kanamycin resistance was cloned from the pKH2 into pBluescriptII $KS^+$ and partial sequence determination of that fragment was carried out. Sequence analysis revealed that the kanamycin resistance gene which encoded aminoglycoside 3'-phosphotransferase was linked to the streptothricin resistance gene. But a nonsense mutation was found in the streptothricin resistance gene and this mutation resulted in a truncated protein of streptothricin acetyltransferase. Homology comparison with nucleotide sequence databases revealed that the 3.4-kb HindIII fragment of pKH2 had been derived not from S. aureus but from Gram-negative Campylobacter coli.

Using yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and the integrate vector system, we have isolated and characterized an autonomously replicating sequence (ARS) from Aspergillus nidulans. The DNA fragment, designated ANR1, is 5.0 kb in size and maintained free from the chromosome in S. cerevisiae. The YIplac211-ANR1 recombinant plasmid, which consists of sequences derived from the yeast integrative vector YIplac211 and 5.0 kb ANR1 fragment, showed a 104-fold enhancement in transformation efficiency over that found for YIplac211, and was easily recovered from the transformed yeast. Genetic analysis of transformants showed that YIplac21-ANR1 could be over 96% cured when cultured over 20 generations in complete medium and thus suggests that this sequence is mitotically unstable. In A. nidulans, recombinant plasmid PILJ16-4.5 which carries the 4.5 kb EcoRI fragment of ANR1 showed a 170-fold enhancement in transformation efficiency compared to that of the integrative vector PILJ16.
