The dinoflagellates have some primitive nuclear features and are evolutionarily intermediate between prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The small subunit ribosomal RAN gene, the 5.8S ribosomal RNA gene, and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) of Gonyaulax polyedra were cloned, and their sequences were analyzed to better understand their evolutionary position. The small subunit ribosomal RNA gene was 1,794 nt long, the large subunit ribosomal RNA gene was approximately 3,500 nt long, and the 5.8S ribosomal RNA gene was 159 nt long. The first internal transcribed spacer (ITS1) was 191 nt long, and the second internal transcribed spacer (ITS2) was 185 nt long. The intergenic spacer of the ribosomal RNA gene (IGS) was about 2,200 nt long, indicating that 5,800 nt of transcribed sequences were separated by roughly 2,200 nt of intergenic spacer. The ribosomal RNA genes were repeated many times and arranged in a head-to-tail, tandemly repeated manner. The repeating unit of ribosomal RNA gene of G. polyedra was proposed to be 8,000 nt long. Based on the lengths of ribosomal RNA, sequence alignments with representative organisms, and phylogenetic analysis on ribosomal RNA, G. polyedra appears to be one of the alveolates branched from the eukaryotic crown and, among dinoflagellates, it seems to not have emerged early.

In order to find smoking status and its related factors for female students, a survey was conducted for 1,045 female students of a women's university in Seoul from 22nd of May to 18th of June, 1995. The results were as follows: 1. Of the 1,045 respondents, 7.4% of them were current smokers and 20.6% of them were ex-smokers. The rate of smoking by the major field of study was 18.5% in art and physical education, 10.6% in liberal art and social science, 1.9% in natural science, and 1.2% in medical science. The rate of smoking by the grade was 4.1% in the freshman, 5.9% in the sophomore, 10.9% in the junior, and 10.0% in the senior grade. 2. 7.2% of respondents experienced first smoking at junior high school, 16.8% at senior high school, 4.1% after high school, and 69.2% at college. 3. The major motivation to start smoking was 'curiosity'(57.9%), 'releasing stress'(21.6%), and 'temptation from friend or senior'(12.0%). 4. The first smoking place was 'entertainment place'(49.6%), 'own room'(20.5%), and 'school '(11.3%). And the first smoking companion was 'friend'(62.3%), 'alone'(19.9%), and 'senior or junior'(5.1%). 5. The average quantity of a daily smoking was 6.16±5.29 cigarettes in current smokers and 31.2% of them had experience to quit smoking at least one or more time. 6. Most of the reasons to quit smoking in ex-smoker were due to 'bad taste '(60.5%), 'health concern'(27.4%) and 'religion'(2.3%). 7. Current smoker and ex-smoker had more positive attitude for the female smoking than nonsmoker. And 76.7% of nonsmokers answered that they would not smoke in the future. 8. Most correspondents(89.8% of nonsmoker, 83.7% of ex-smoker, 80.5% of current smoker) strongly supported the antismoking movement. 9. The major information source in smoking were from 'radio, TV'(51.0%), 'newspaper, magazine'(38.8%) and 'school'(7.7%). 10. The multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the related factors for smoking status were satisfaction of home life, coffee intake, alcohol drinking, sister's smoking, girl friend's smoking, and knowledge about smoking.

Phylogenetic relationships among the Korean taxa of the genus Allium subgenus Rhizirideum and some related taxa were assessed on the basis of in sequences of nuclear ribosomal DNA. Twenty-eight accessions of the genus Allium L. consisting of subgenera Rhizirideum (19 taxa), Allium (5 taxa) and Amerallium (one taxon) were analyzed. The variation in the ITS region was informative at the levels of section except for sect. Reticulato- bulbosa which is known to be of multiple origin. The ITS 2 region was longer than the ITS 1 region, and all of the investigated Allium taxa were the same in length in the 5.8S region except for A. monanthum. Allium cyaneum var. cyaneum was the shortest (635 bp) and A. victorialis the longest (646 bp) among the investigated Korean taxa. The three morphologically similar taxa, A. thunbergii, A. sacculiferum that has been included in A. thunbergii, and A. deltoid- fistulosum, had the same ITS lengths of 641 bp, but were clearly distinguished in the phylogenetic analysis of their ITS sequences.

The total number of clinical materials collected from Dec 1, 2005 to Nov 30, 2006 in C. hospital was 63,133. Among these materials, the isolation of Staphylococcus spp. was 5,252 strains. The proportions of Staphylococcus species infection were as follows ; 46.7% in S. aureus, 39.3% in S. epidermidis, 4.7% in S. hominis, 3.8% in S. haemolyticus, 2.9% in S. capitis and 2.5% in others. Seventeen strains of Staphylococcus species were identified with an isolation range of 0.02-46.7%. The isolation ratios of Staphylococcus species were 7.8% (2,134/27,362) in female, 8.7% (3,118/35,807) in male and 8.3% (5,252/63,133) in both. The age-related frequencies of Staphylococcus species were 22.1% in the 60-69 year group, 19.3% in the 70-79 year group and 17.1% in the 50-59 year group. The isolation ratio of the 0-49 year group to the 50-over 80 year group were 1.74 times in female, 1.92 in male and 1.85 in both. The isolation frequency of Staphylococcus spp. was at its highest in April (9.9%) and at its lowest in February (6.8%) according to monthly analysis. According to seasonal variation, the isolation frequencies of Staphylococcus spp. were 27.0% in Summer, 25.9% in Spring, 23.9% in Fall and 23.2% in Winter. The clinical departments showing over 9% isolation rate against Staphylococcus spp. were critical care medicine (12.9%), department of pediatrics (11.6%), department of urology (9.8%) and department of neuro-surgery (9.1%). On the other hand, the lowest number was observed in the department of family medicine. The clinical material showing over 15% isolation rate against Staphylococcus spp. were 32.1% in urine (random urine and catheterized urine), 20.6% in blood and 16.0% in sputum.

본 연구에서는 다양한 생리활성이 보고된 폴리페놀 화합물인 resveratrol의 항산화 활성과 산화촉진 작용을 세포 내에 조성될 수 있는 여러 pH 조건에서 시간별로 분석하고, resveratrol의 세포독성에 미치는 antioxidant들의 작용을 조사하였다. Resveratrol을 pH 6.5에서 저장하였을 경우 pH 7.4에서 저장하였을 때보다 유의적으로 높은 DPPH 라디칼 소거활성을 나타내었다. Resveratrol을 pH 8.0에서 저장시 항산화 활성을 나타내지 않았으며, 오히려 다른 조건에서 보다 현저히 많은 $H_2O_2$를 생성하는 산화촉진 효과를 나타내었다. Resveratrol의 HeLa 세포에 대한 독성은 SOD, NAC, glutathione, ascorbic acid 등과 같은 antioxidant 존재하에 유의적으로 증가하였으며, 이러한 독성의 강화는 첨가된 antioxidant 의 농도에는 크게 영향 받지 않았다. 본 결과는 resveratrol이 세포 내 pH 환경에 따라 antioxidant 또는 $H_2O_2$와 같은 활성산소종을 생성하는 prooxidant로 작용할 수 있으며, resveratrol로부터 생성되는 활성산소종의 제거가 세포독성을 증가시킬 수 있음을 시사한다.

The nucleotide sequences of the internal transcribed spacer regions (ITS1 and ITS2) of ribosomal DNA (rDNA), and the 5.85 rRNA gene, have been determined for 13 strains of dinoflagellates in order to analyze the phylo-genetic relationship. The DNA sequences contained considerable variation in the ITS regions, but little in the 5.85 rDNA. In addition, the ITS1 was more variable than the ITS2 in all species examined. The nucleotide length of this region varied from 519 bp to 596 bp depending on the taxa. The investigated taxa were divided into three large groups based on the ITS length, i. e., a group with short ITS region (A. fraterculus and Alexandrium sp.), a with ITS region group (P. micans, P. minimum and P. triestinum) and a with ITS region group (G. impudicum, C. polykrikoides, G. sanguineum, G. catenatum and H. triquetra). The relationship between nucleotide length of ITS1 and that of ITS2 was negative, whereas G+C content and nucleotide length showed positive correlation. In phylogenetic analyses producing NJ trees, the topology was similar cluster and clearly divided the taxa into three groups based on 5.8S rDNA that were similar to those based on morphological characteristics. In particular, G. impudicum was more closely related to G. catenatum than to C. polykrikoides using phylogenetic analysis. From this study, we chew that the length of ITS region contributes to discriminate Korean harmful algal species and ITS analysis is a useful method for resolving the systematic relationships of dinoflagellates.

한국산 담배풀속(Carpesium L.) 7분류군과 3개의 외군(Inula britannica L., Inula germanica L., Rhanteriopsis lannginosa(DC.) Rauschert)을 대상으로 유연관계를 파악하기 위하여 nuclear ribosomal DNA(nrDNA) 중 ITS(internal transcribed spacer) 지역의 계통분류학적 분석을 수행하였다. 계통분류학적 연구방법은 maximum parsimony, neighbor-joining와 maximum likelihood 방법을 사용하였다. 정렬된 계통분의 총 길이는 731 bp이며, ITS1, ITS2와 5.8S 부위의 길이는 각각 284~297 bp, 264~266 bp와 164 bp로 나타났다. 계통분류학 변이를 보이는 site는 111개로 확인 되었으며, 그 중 64개의 site가 계통학적으로 유효한 것으로 나타났고, ITS1 지역이 ITS2 지역보다 염기 변이가 다양하게 나타나는 것으로 확인되었다. 그 결과, 한국산 담배풀속은 단계통을 형성하였으며, 담배풀(C. abrotanoides L.)이 가장 기저부에 위치하였다. 여우오줌(C. macrocephalum Franch. & Sav.)와 두메담배풀(C. triste Maxim.)은 가까운 유연관계를 나타냈으며, 애기담배풀(C. rosulatum Miq.)와 천일담배풀(C. glossophyllum Maxim.) 그리고 좀담배풀(C. cernuum L.)와 긴담배풀(C. divaricatum Siebold & Zucc.)도 유연관계가 가깝게 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과로 담배풀속 nrDNA의 ITS 지역 염기서열에 기초한 분자 계통학적 연구는 계통분류를 이해하는데 유용한 방법으로 판단된다.
