Objectives : The purpose of this study was to investigate musk deer in taxonomic status and genus species. We investigated the characteristic of musk deer for medicinal usages. Methods : To identifications of musk deer on the taxonomic status and genus species, the literary investigation were conducted on the Korean, China, and Japan pharmacopoeia and published herbal books, CITES Species Lists too. Results : Musk deer placement in a separate family status is the Moschidae. M. chrysogaster Hodgson and M. sifanicus Przewalski was the same species. So, Alpine musk deer revised M. chrysogaster Hodgson[=M. sifanicus Przewalski]. Geographic distribution of M. moschiferus L. divided Sibirica group and himalaica group. Group himalaica contains three subspecies: Korean musk deer(M. moschiferus parvipes Hol.), Chinese musk deer(M. chrysogaster Hodgson), and Himalayan musk deer(M. leucogaster Hodgson). The genetic divergence between M. moschiferus L. and other species was clearly distinguished from the others. M. berezovskii Flerove was less than the others. However, the divergence among M. chrysogaster Hodgson, M. fuscus Li, and M. leucogaster Hodgson were quite low. Musk deers are mostly distributed around the high-plateau. Moschus were from Nepal, Bhutan, Russia, China. Forest musk deer(M. berezovskii Flerove) farming was conducted in China from 1950s. In the Korean hebal pharmacopoeia, Moschus include l-muscone($C_{16}H_{30}O$ : 238.40) over 2% for quantitative test. Conclusions : There are three species of musk deer, Siberian musk deer(M. moschiferus L.), forest musk deer(M. berezovskii Flerove), and Alpine musk deer(M. chrysogaster Hodgson) for medicinal usages.

The Korean Musk deer (Moschus Moschiferus) is endangered due to heavy hunting and Massive destructions of natural habitat. They are included in CITES appendix II. In addition they are designated as a precious natural product in 1968 and listed as endangered species by the Government and Cultural Heritage Administration. At present, the number of musk deer in Korea is smaller than minimum viable population. Without increment of the population size, natural restoration is impossible. It is necessary to develop the artificial growth and re-enforcement methods in order to conservation Korean musk deer. Furthermore, It is necessary to ensure that we have an adequate individual group for artificial growth and re-enforcement. To ensure that we have an adequate individual group, it is necessary to know ecology of musk deer. This study is conducted to confirm and investigate of habitat of musk deer in order to capture individual musk deer. we investigated, confirmed habitats, found traces and captured using trap and decoy. Captured musk deer is male and 5.5 kg, this have canine tooth of 1.5cm, is estimated 15 months old. After capture, we measured each parts of body and tested to research of parasite infection. Strongyloides papillous was founded in the feces. It is essential to get healthy individual and establish of artificial growth technique.

This study was conducted to obtain the basic information about Siberia Musk Deer (Moschus moschiferus), and to establish a conservation area for the replacement of Siberia Musk Deer into Mt. Odea National Park, South Korea. We analyzed the main habitat for Siberia Musk Deer restoration in Mt. Odae National Park, Korea. We recorded Siberia Musk Deers' field signs (i.e., bedding sites, feeding areas, feces and tracks), and habitat variables such as nearest distance to the watercourse, trails, slope, aspect, forest type and land cover etc. from Dec. 2004 to Aug. 2007 in Mt. Jiri, Mt. Seorak, and Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). Rocky areas, ridges, mixed coniferous forest (Red pine and Mongolian oak), southern and southeastern slope, elevation of above 800m, and distance from watercourse shorter than 300m etc. were dominant habitat types of Siberia Musk Deer. Based on the significant habitat types, a proper conservation plan should be prepared for the restoration of habitats in order to reintroduce, and to increase the population of Siberia Musk Deer in Mt. Odea National Park, South Korea. Small population size, and limited ecological data are the major constraints for the establishment of conservation areas. Furthermore, other anthropogenic factors including human activities, poaching, and residential area around the park caused the difficulties to qualify as a conservation area. For the successful establishment of conservation area in the future, it is recommended to conduct a comprehensive ecological research, and to survey human disturbances including their impacts on the habitats of Siberia Musk Deer in the Mt. Odea National Park.

Objective : Literary investigation of existing data was conducted to verify effects of Moschus and its herbal acupuncture, and determine quality management through component analysis. Results : Following results were obtained through literary investigation. 1. Deer musk (Moschus) is dried navel gland secretions of the adult male musk deer. 2. Moschus is known to be effective for treating various febrile diseases, to revive senses, heart and abdominal pain, complications from cerebral hemorrhage, angina, and others. 3. Single dosage of Moschus is between $0.03{\sim}0.1g$ and should not exceed 1g. Normally taken as powder or pill and may be used externally. 4. Moschus also has protective effects for the liver cells, and experiments revealed possible efficacies for hyperlipidemia, brain damage, hypertension, and etc. 5. For herbal acupuncture usage, Fel Ursi, Bezoar Bovis, and Moschus are used as a mixture (BUM), and it's known to be effective for protecting the liver and treating arthritis. 6. For component analysis of Moschus, aromatic matter 'muscone' should be used as a standard matter.

Korean long-tailed goral (Nemorhaedus caudatus) is one of the most endangered species in South Korea. However, detailed species distribution and sex ratio data on the elusive goral are still lacking due to difficulty of identification of the species and sex in the field. The primary aim of this study was to develop an economical PCR-RFLP method to identify species using invasive or non-invasive samples from five Korean ungulates: goral (N. caudatus), roe deer (Capreolus pygargus), feral goat (Capra hircus), water deer (Hydropotes inermis) and musk deer (Moschus moschiferus). The secondary aim was to find more efficient molecular sexing techniques that may be applied to invasive or non-invasive samples of ungulate species. We successfully utilized PCR-RFLP of partial mitochondrial cytochrome b gene (376 bp) for species identification, and sex-specific amplification of ZFX/Y and AMELX/Y genes for sexing. Three species (goral, goat and water deer) showed distinctive band patterns by using three restriction enzymes (Xbal, Stul or Sspl). Three different sexing primer sets (LGL331/335 for ZFX/Y gene; SE47/48 or SE47/53 for AMELX/Y gene) produced sex-specific band patterns in goral, goat and roe deer. Our results suggest that the molecular analyses of non-invasive samples might provide us with potential tools for the further genetic and ecological study of Korean goral and related species.

비무장지대(DMZ)를 포함한 민통선 일대는 지난 50여 년간 사람에 의한 인위적인 간섭을 적게 받은 지역으로 자연생태계가 잘 보전된 세계적인 환경보전지역이다. 그러나 최근 들어 개발에 따른 급격한 환경파괴가 가속화되고 있어 이에 대한 대비가 시급한 실정이다. 현재까지 발표된 조사지역에 대한 논문, 보고서 등 문헌자료와 청문조사를 토대로 조사된 포유동물상을 파악하였다. DMZ 및 군사접경지역 전체에서 서식하는 포유동물 중 문헌상으로 서식이 확인된 종은 모두 6목 17과 51종으로 조사되었으며, 이중 화천군, 철원군, 양구군 일대 중부지역에는 총 6목 14과 32종이 서식하는 것으로 조사되었다. 천연기념물로 지정된 종은 반달가슴곰(Ursus thibetanus), 수달(Lutra lutra), 사향노루(Moschus moschiferus), 산양(Nemorhaedus caudatus), 하늘다람쥐(Pteromys volans), 물범(Phoca largha)등 3목 6과 6종이었다. 이 조사를 통해 얻어진 종합적인 자연문화재 기초자원 조사결과는 향후, UNESCO의 세계자연보전지역 등록에 대비한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

우제목은 짝수 개의 발굽을 갖는 포유동물로 다양한 종이 전 세계적으로 광범위하게 서식하고 있다. 최근 국내에서는 멧돼지, 고라니와 같은 야생 우제목 동물에 의한 농작물 피해, 로드킬 등의 급증과 산양, 사향노루 등 일부 종의 개체수 급감으로 사회적 관심을 받고 있다. 그러나 이러한 사회적 관심에도 불구하고 우제목 관련 국내 연구는 매우 부족하며, 국내 우제목의 연구 동향 분석도 이루어지지 않아 실질적인 문제점을 파악하는데 어려움이 있다. 최근 연구 동향분석에 있어 텍스트마이닝과 동시출현단어분석은 연구 문헌들에서 나타나는 주요 단어들을 추출하고 단어들 간의 연관성을 정량화하는데 활용되고 있으며, 연구 주제의 분류에 있어 객관성을 증가시킨다. 본 연구에서는 텍스트마이닝과 동시출현단어분석을 통해 한국, 중국, 일본 3국의 우제목 연구 논문을 분석하고 국가별 연구 주제를 비교하여, 국내 우제목 연구에서의 부족한 점과 향후 필요한 점을 알아보고자 하였다. 각 국가별로 우제목과 관련된 연구 논문을 검색하여 수집한 665편의 논문들에 대한 텍스트마이닝 결과, 총 199개 단어가 추출되었다. 추출된 단어들에 대한 동시출현단어분석 결과 3개의 단어군이 형성되었다. 각 단어군에 포함된 단어들을 살펴본 결과, 단어군1은 "서식환경/생태", 단어군2는 "질병", 단어군3은 "보전유전학/분자생태"와 관련 있는 것으로 판단된다. 국가별로 각 단어군의 비율을 살펴본 결과, 중국과 일본은 비교적 고른 단어군 비율을 나타낸 반면, 한국은 "질병"과 관련된 단어군2의 비율이 69%로 상당히 큰 편중을 나타내었다. 연도에 따른 각 단어군별 단어수 회귀 분석 결과에서도 중국과 일본은 3개의 단어군에 해당하는 단어수가 시간 경과에 따라 비교적 고르게 증가하였지만, 한국은 단어군2의 증가율이 나머지 단어군의 5배 이상을 나타냈다. 국내 우제목 연구는 중국과 일본에 비해 질병과 관련된 연구 위주로 진행된 것으로 판단되며, 서식 특성, 행동, 분자생태를 포함한 연구는 매우 적게 수행된 것으로 판단된다. 향후 국내 야생 우제목 동물에 의한 피해 조절과 멸종위기종 보호를 위한 합리적인 정책 수립을 위해, 야생 우제목에 대한 생태 연구를 집중적으로 실시하여 기초생태 자료를 축적시켜 나가야 할 것이다.
