This study was conducted to understand the water and soil properties to propose the promotion of vegetation environment at farm pond depression. We selected 8 palustrine wetlands from agricultural area after consideration of human interference, surround land use, and size of area. Water quality analysis showed that the average SS, T-N, T-P were over the limit of agricultural water quality standard level at some sites. The cause for deterioration of water quality is supposed by the long-term stagnation of water in palustrine wetland. The recommended measures to improve water quality are as follows; improving water circulation by connecting with nearby natural water, preventing oxygen depletion by dredging deposit, lowering down T-N and T-P by removing autumn plants, preventing inflow of phosphorus in fertilizer ingredients which is the main cause for high T-P. The soil contamination of the surveyed area was about the same level of average heavy metal contents in soils from 2,010 paddy fields in Korea, which was much lower than soil contamination standards. As for soil texture, sand content was 40~90% and clay content was less than 20%. The content of silt and clay in soil from community of floating-leaved:submerged hydrophytes and community of emergent hydrophytes was higher that of soil from community of hygrophytes, and the content of sand in soil from community of hygrophytes was 10% higher than underwater soil. In terms of bulk density, the average was 0.24~0.96g/$cm^3$, which was quite low, because of high content of peat and organic matter in soil of the surveyed area. As for the average content of organic matter, community of floating-leaved:submerged hydrophytes was 18.25g/kg, community of emergent hydrophytes was 16.88g/kg, and community of hydrophytes was 25.63g/kg. The range of content of T-N in soil of community of floating-leaved；submerged hydrophytes was 0.022~0.307%, and that of community of emergent hydrophytes was 0.029~0.681% and that of community of hydrophytes was 0.088~0.325%. Apart from three sites in the surveyed area, most parts were over the standards or below the standard. After this study, we will conduct and discuss the relationship between vegetation characteristics and environments, which will be used of the best practical management and restoration of wetland.

간접접촉 심전도(IDC-ECG) 측정에 공통 모드 잡음을 줄이기 위해 오른발 구동(Driven-right-leg) 접지 방법을 적용하고 그 접지의 성능을 조사하였다. 최근에 소개된 간접접촉 심전도 측정 기술은 전극과 인체 피부간의 직접 접촉이 필요하지 않기 때문에, 최근에 필요성이 대두되고 있는 가정에서의 장기간 무구속 심전도 측정에 적합한 측정방법으로서 현재 다양한 응용이 연구되고 있다. 그렇지만 간접접촉 심전도는 전원선에 의한 60Hz 잡음이 기존 측정 방법보다 크게 발생하여, 응용 범위의 확대에 제약 조건이 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는, 기존의 심전도 측정 방법에 사용되는 오른발 구동 접지 방법을 간접접촉 심전도 측정 방법에도 적용하여, 공통모드 잡음 성분을 반전 증폭하여 의자 좌판(seat)에 깔린 전도성 직물을 통해 인체에 feedback하였다. 이로써 피부와 직접 접촉이 없는 간접 접촉 방식의 오른발 구동 접지를 구현하였으며, 이 접지가 안정적으로 동작되고, 오른발 구동 이득이 약 1000정도에서 40dB 수준의 전원 잡음 감소 됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 이 연구의 결과로 간접접촉 심전도의 주파수 대역을 기존의 30Hz이하에서 100Hz 수준까지 높일 수 있게 되었으며, 접지 임피던스를 높일 수 있게 되어 간접접촉 심전도의 응용 분야를 더욱 넓힐 수 있게 되었다.

In order to prepare a basis for ecological restoration of the Seoul Metropolitan area, ecological diagnoses on soil physico-chemical properties and vegetation structure were carried out. Land use patterns, actual vegetation, and biotope patterns were also investigated based on aerial photograph interpretation and field checks. I formulated landscape elements overlaying those data and evaluated the ecological value of each element. Soil pollution was evaluated by analyzing soil samples collected in each grid on the mesh map, divided by 2km $\times$ 2km intervals. Soil samples were collected in forests or grasslands escaped from direct human interference. Soil pollution evaluated from pH, and SO$_4$, Ca, Mg, and Al contents of soil was more severe in the urban outskirts than in the urban center. Those soil environmental factors showed significant correlation with each other. Vegetation in the urban area was different in species composition from that in suburban areas and showed lower diversity compared with that in the suburban areas. Successional process investigated by population structure of major species also showed a difference. That is, successional trend was normal in suburban areas, but that in urban areas showed a retrogressive pattern. The landscape ecological map of Seoul indicates that the urban center lacks vegetation and greenery space is restricted in urban outskirts. Such an uneven distribution of vegetation has caused a specific urban climate and thereby contributed to aggravation of air and soil pollution, furthermore causing vegetation decline. From this result, it was estimated that such uneven distribution of vegetation functioned as a trigger factor to deteriorate the urban environment. I suggested, therefore, a restoration plan based on landscape ecological principles, which emphasizes connectivity and even distribution of green areas throughout the whole area of the Seoul to solve this complex environmental problem. In this restoration plan, first of all, I decided the priority order for connection of the fragmented greenery spaces based on the distances from the core reserves comprised of green belt and rivers, which play roles as habitats of wildlife as well as for improvement of urban environment. Next, I prepared methods to restore each landscape element included in the paths of green network to be constructed in the future on the bases of such preferential order. Rivers and roads, which hold good connectivity, were chosen as elements to play important roles in constructing green network by linking the fragmented greenery spaces.

본 연구에서 외래식물인 청비름(Amaranthus viridis L.)의 현재의 잠재 서식지와 RCP 4.5와 RCP 8.5에 의한 미래의 분포 확산을 MaxEnt 모델을 활용하여 예측하였다. 청비름의 잠재 서식지는 연평균기온, 고도, 12월의 강수량의 환경변수가 85% 이상의 기여도를 보여 가장 중요한 변수로 분석되었고 AUC도 0.95로 모형의 설명력이 높게 나타났다. 제주도와 남해안 및 중남부 서해안을 중심으로 분포하고 있는 청비름은 RCP 4.5에서는 확산이 크게 나타나지 않으나, RCP 8.5 시나리오는 잠재 서식지가 전국으로 확산되는 것으로 나타났고 현재에 비하여 2090년대 잠재 서식지 비율이 약 4.8배 증가하는 것으로 분석되었다. 이러한 시나리오 별 차이는 향후 청비름의 확산이 기후변화 양상에 따라 가변적일 수 있음을 보여준다. 청비름은 많은 종자 생산과 차량의 이동이나 사람의 이동 중에 쉽게 확산되는 특성이 있어 잠재서식지 비율의 증가는 실제 확산으로 이어질 수 있을 것으로 파악된다. 빠르게 확산될 수 있을 것이다. 같은 비름속의 개비름과 가는털비름은 이미 전국에 분포하고 있어 관리가 어려운 실정이고 기후변화에 의한 온도 상승은 청비름 또한 전국적으로 확산될 가능성을 가지고 있어 장기적인 관심과 관리기술 개발이 필요한 시점이다. 본 연구에서 수행한 지역별 예측은 향후 관리 계획 설정 등에 활용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

The phytosocialogical study on the coastal sand dune vegetation of the East Coast was carried out. 180 phytosociological relev$\acute{e}$s of 62 sites in the East Coast were used in this study. In addition, already published syntaxa and the phytosociological hierarchy in Korea and Japan were used and comparative analyses of syntaxonomy, synecology, syngeography, and syndynamics were performed in the study. In this study, the flora was investigated 30 families, 66 genera, 77 taxa and 3 vegetation types were identified : the coastal drift-line annual communities (Calystegio soldanellae-Salsoletum komarovii), the dune glasslands communities (Elymo-Caricetum kobomugi, Carex kobomugi typical community, Elymus mollis community, Calystegia soldanella community, Zoysia macrostachya community, Cynodon dactylon community, Carex pumila community), and the dune shrubs communities (Linario-Viticetum rotundifoliae, Vitex rotundifolia community, Rosa rugosa community). The aspect of transition in the coastal sand dune vegetation of the East Coast were identified as follows : (1) reduced constancy degree and cover degree of Glehnia littoralis in each community; (2) lack of Ischaemum anthephoroides in Linario-Viticetum rotundifoliae (3) simplified species composition in Vitex rotundifolia community. Unstable habitat condition by external interference seemed to has caused the reduction of 2 taxa, Glehnia littoralis and Ischaemum anthephoroides, that usually grow in the second dune. In addition, we found changes in the distribution of the dune shrub communities influenced by rising temperature of the East Coast as results of the global warming. The results on the distribution of the dune shrub communities in this study demonstrated that the limit of the Rosa rugosa community made $0^{\circ}$ 44'N to the North and the vegetative limit of the Vitex rotundifolia community made $0^{\circ}$ 28'N to the North, respectively compared with the previously phytosociological studies. This study investigated the coastal sand dune vegetation, syntaxonomy, habitat condition and human disturbunce of the East Coast, and this will provide important information as basic data for the coastal ecosystem.

잡초는 농업생태계에서 경합에 의하여 막대한 피해를 입히며, 환경 및 인류의 부정적인 관심 때문에 잡초를 방제하기 위하여 사용되고 있는 합성 제초제에 대한 의존도를 줄이려는 노력이 전 세계적으로 이루어지고 있다. 이와 같은 관점에서 수수 추출물의 일종인 sorgoleone의 제초활성과 작물 선택성을 온실과 포장조건에서 검정하였다. Sorgoleone은 토양처리와 경엽처리에서 모두 높은 효과를 나타냈는데 화본과 잡초보다 광엽잡초에서 효과가 높았다. 온실조건에서 대부분 광엽잡초의 생장은 Sorgoleone $200\;{\mu}g\;ml^{-1}$에서 80%이상 억제되었고, 소리쟁이와 갈퀴덩굴은 완전히 고사되었다. 포장조건에서도 sorgoleone의 제초활성은 광엽잡초에 가장 우수하였고, 방동사니, 화본과 잡초 순이었다. 포장조건에서 잡초생장 억제정도는 전반적으로 온실조건보다 다소 낮은 경향이었다. 벼, 보리, 밀, 옥수수, 콩, 들깨, 토마토와 배추에서는 sorgoleone에 의한 생장억제는 거의 없었으나 상추와 오이는 생장이 억제되었다.

Objective: To investigate the effect of down-regulation of Sentrin/SUMO-specific protease 1 (SENP1) expression on the apoptosis of human Burkitt lymphoma cells (Daudi cells) and potential mechanisms. Methods: Short hairpin RNA (shRNA) targeting SENP1 was designed and synthesized and then cloned into a lentiviral vector. A lentiviral packaging plasmid was used to transfect Daudi cells (sh-SENP1-Daudi group). Daudi cells without transfection (Daudi group) and Daudi cells transfected with blank plasmid (sh-NC-Daudi group) served as control groups. Flow cytometry was performed to screen GFP positive cells and semiquantitative PCR and Western blot assays were employed to detect the inference efficiency. The morphology of cells was observed under a microscope before and after transfection. Fluorescence quantitative PCR and Western blot assays were conducted to measure the mRNA and protein expression of apoptosis related molecules (caspase-3, 8 and 9). After treatment with $COCl_2$ for 24 h, the mRNA and protein expression of hypoxia inducible factor -$1{\alpha}$ (HIF-$1{\alpha}$) was determined. Results: Sequencing showed the expression vectors of shRNA targeting SENP1 to be successfully constructed. Following screening of GFP positive cells by FCM, semiqualitative PCR showed the interference efficiency was $79.2{\pm}0.026%$. At 48 h after transfection, the Daudi cells became shrunken, had irregular edges and presented apoptotic bodies. Western blot assay revealed increase in expression of caspase-3, 8 and 9 with prolongation of transfection (P<0.05). Following hypoxia treatment, mRNA expression of HIF-$1{\alpha}$ remained unchanged in three groups (P>0.05) but the protein expression of HIF-$1{\alpha}$ markedly increased (P<0.05). However, in the sh-SENP1-Daudi group, the protein expression of HIF-$1{\alpha}$ remained unchanged Conclusion: SENP1-shRNA can efficiently inhibit SENP1 expression in Daudi cells. SENP1 inhibition may promote cell apoptosis. These findings suggest that SENP1 may serve as an important target in the gene therapy of Burkitts lymphoma.

It is a common clinical practice to recommend taking iron supplements for pregnant women during gestation. Although it is required to ensure adequate iron stores during pregnancy, there has been some debate over the interference effects of excessive iron load, because it is possible to compete in the transport in the intestine and placenta and in binding to serum proteins of other trace minerals. In this study, maternal and neonatal serum concentrations of Fe, Zn, Cu, Se, Cr, Mn, and Co were assessed along with maternal Fe intakes. A total of 124 pregnant women and their term neonates participated voluntarily in this research. The women were divided into one of the three groups {high Fe intake (HFI), median Fe intake (MFI), and low Fe intake (LFI)} by their total Fe intakes and one of the two groups (Anemic and Normal) by their Fe nutritional status. All the data were compared among the three groups and between the two groups also. Total Fe intakes of HFI, MFI, and LFI groups were 140.8 ${\pm}$ 76.1, 68.0 ${\pm}$ 11.2, and 30.2 ${\pm}$ 8.6 mg/day, respectively. Those of Anemic and Normal groups were 90.1 ${\pm}$ 74.8 and 86.6 ${\pm}$ 46.8 mg/day, respectively. Maternal Hb concentration and Hct were not significantly different among HFI, MFI, and LFI groups but those were significantly different between Anemic and Normal groups. However, neonatal Hb concentration was not significantly different among HFI, MFI, and LFI groups and between Anemic and Normal groups either. Maternal serum Fe concentrations of the three groups, HFI, MFI, and LFI, were similar but that of Anemic group was significantly lower compared to Normal group. However, there was no significant difference in neonatal serum Fe concentrations among the three groups and between the two groups either. Serum concentrations of the other trace minerals in both mothers and neonates were not significantly different among HFI, MFI, and LFI groups and between Anemic and Normal groups. In addition, in the maternal serum, Fe concentration was positively correlated to Zn and Se concentration, respectively. As for the neonatal serum, Fe concentration showed a positive correlation to Zn, Cu, Mn, Se, and Co concentration, respectively. No trace mineral concentration was found to correlate negatively to Fe concentration in both maternal and neonatal serum, The results in this study indicate that Fe intakes of pregnant women, even if it is considerably above the level of estimated average requirement (EAR), may not affect serum Fe concentration in both mothers and neonates. In addition it might not influence adversely on the availability of other trace minerals including Zn and Cu in both mothers and neonates.
