The healing properties of medicinal maggots (larval stage of Lucilia sericata) are widely used in the chirurgical debridement of non-healing wounds including diabetic foot ulcers, venous and pressure ulcers, where classical approaches have failed. Several kinds of wounds are prone to complications coming out of a specific wound bed environment. There are multi-resistant bacterial species present, their pathogenic impact is multiplied by their ability to form a biofilm. Moreover, immunological events in chronic wounds differ from those in acute wounds. Non-healing wounds are cycled in the early inflammation phase with increased levels of inflammation attributes like inflammation cytokines and matrix metalloproteinases produced by inflammation phase cells. Application of larval therapy promotes progress in the healing process to the next stages involving tissue granulation and re-epithelisation. Larval debridement is an effective method of cleaning the wound of cell debris, necrotic tissue and bacterial load. This happens in a mechanical and biological manner, but the whole complex mechanism of the maggot healing activity is still not fully elucidated. Centuries of clinical practice brings noticeable proof of the maggots' beneficial effect in wound healing management. This long history led to the investigation of the bioactive components of the larval body and its extracts in vitro. We introduce a review which describes the immunomodulation impact of maggot body components on the cellular and molecular levels of the wound healing process.

The genetic structure of marine animals that inhabit the seashore is affected by numerous factors. Of these, gene flow and natural selection during recruitment have strong influences on the genetic structure of seashore-dwelling species that have larval periods. Relative contributions of these two factors to the genetic structure of marine species would be determined mainly by the duration of larval stage. The relationship between larval period and genetic structure of population has been rarely studied in Korea. In this study, genetic variations of cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) were analyzed in two dominant species on rocky shore habitats in the Korean peninsula: periwinkle Littorina brevicula and acorn barnacle Fistulobalanus albicostatus. Both species are not strongly structured and may have experienced recent population expansion. Unlike periwinkle, however, barnacle populations have considerable genetic variation, and show a bimodal pattern of mismatch distribution. These results suggest that barnacle populations are more affected by local adaptation rather than gene flow via larval migration. The bimodal patterns of barnacle populations observed in mismatch distribution plots imply that they may have experienced secondary contact. Further studies on seashore-dwelling species are expected to be useful in understanding the evolution of the coastal ecosystem around Korean waters.

참게(E. sinensis)의 유생 생장에 미치는 기초적인 환경 및 생물학적 정보를 얻기 위해 본 실험을 실시하였다. 참게 유생을 카드뮴과 수은의 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 ppm농도에 처리하였다. 참게의 생존율과 카드뮴과 수은의 중금속 농도와 양의 상관을 나타내었다. 그런데 96시간 사육시 카드뮴과 수은의 반수치사농도는 유생 단계간 유의한 차이를 나타내었다. 반수치사농도는 카드뮴이 수은보다 높았으므로 수은이 더 치명적이였다. 중금속의 축적은 카드뮴과 수은 모두 메가로파 시기부터 급격히 증가하였다. 따라서 참게의 유생의 생육에서 카드뮴과 수은은 참게 유생의 생존에 치명적이며 생물농축이 일어났다.

Antisera against the myotropic neuropeptide leucokinin I, originally isolated from head extracts of the cockroach Leucophaea maderae, have been used to investigate the distribution of the leucokinin I-immunoreactive (LK I-IR) neurons in the brain of the common cutworm, Spodoptera Iitura, during postembryonic development. The LK I-IR neurons are found at the larval stages (excluding first instar larval stage), pupal stages, and adult stage, of which the brains have been examined in this experiment. The number of the LK I-IR neurons in the brain increases from the second instar larva to the fifth instar larva which has about 32, the largest number in all postembryonic stages. Thereafter, the LK I-IR neurons begin to decrease in number. During the pupal stages, smaller number of LK I-IR neurons persist in the brains; 6 or 4. At adult stage the brain contains 8 LK I-IR neurons. The LK I-IR cell bodies are distributed in each dorsal cortex of both cerebral hemispheres in the second instar larva and through all the neuromeres of the brain during later larval stages, despite of being a large number of the LK I-IR cell bodies in dorsolateral neuromeres. At pupal stages, most of the LK I-IR cell bodies are found in the pars intercerebralis. Extremely small number of the LK I-IR cell bodies are localized in the pars lateral is. Adult brain contains the LK I-IR cell bodies in the pars intercerebralis and the middle cortex of the posterior brain. The LK I-IR nerve processes can be easily found in the neuropils of almost all the neuromeres in the brains of third, fourth, fifth and sixth instar larvae. Most of the LK I-IR nerve fibers in those brains are originated from the LK I-IR cell bodies located in the brains. The LK I-IR cell bodies which have very weak reactivities to the antisera do not show projection of the LK I-IR nerve processes in the brains.

넙치(Paralichthys olivaceus) 암컷과 범가자미(Verasper variegatus) 수컷간의 잡종을 유도하여 넙치, 범가자미 및 잡종을 대상으로 변태기 전인 부화후 25일째까지 자어의 생존율 및 성장을 비교 조사하였다. 실험 종료시 잡종의 생존율과 성장은 양친으로 사용된 두 종 중 넙치와 유사하였다(P>0.05). 부화자어의 형태에서 잡종은 난황의 길이 대 폭의 비에서 넙치와 좀 더 많이 닮았고, 수온 $17\pm1^{\circ}C$에서 유구가 완전히 소실되는 기간은 잡종이 18일, 넙치가 14일이었으며 범가자미에서는 유구가 관찰되지 않았다. 조사 결과 변태기전까지의 잡종은 그의 생존율 및 성장에서 범가자미 보다 넙치와 더 유사한 경향을 나타내었다(P>0.05).

두류 품종별 잎특성에 따른 담배거세미나방 유충의 발육과 식엽량을 조사하였다.유충 기간은 검정콩 l호에서 11.5일로 가장 짧았으며, 대광땅콩에서 15.7일로 가장 길어어 두류 품종에 따라 현저한 차이가 있었다. 유충의 영기별 발육기간은 l령에서 3 .2~5.0일로 가장 길였으며, 4령에서 1.0- I.5일로 가장 짧았다. 유충의 식엽량은 영기가 증가함수록 현저하게 증가하여 마지막 6 령기 동안의 식엽량이 유충기간 총 식엽량의 약 55~74%를 차지하였다. 그리고 유충의 성별 식엽량은 수컷보다 암컷에서 많은 경향이었다. 하지만 유충의 사망율과 성비는 두류 품종별 식엽량과는 관련이 없었다.

The giant mealworm beetle, Zophobas atratus (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), is reared for commercial purposes as a live feed for animals. In 2011, it was officially introduced in Korea, and since then it has been considered commercially important. This beetle is a good animal feed resource because of its high protein content with balanced nutrients. However, its life stage characteristics have not been clearly described, especially of the larval stage that can be used as commercial products. To this end, in our study, we determined the number of Z. atratus larval instars, and described their characteristics at each stage, providing basic information about this beetle. Z. atratus larvae required eight to nine d of incubation period before hatching. The first instar period comprised three to four d. There were relatively large variations in each instar period, except for the first instar. Before the adults emerged, most of the individuals passed through15 to 18 instars. The highest pupation rate, 25.71%, was observed in both 16th and 17th instars. Body length gradually increased with each successive instar and it reached its maximum at the 18th instar. The color of larvae was white at the first instar, and gradually turned brown after the second instar.

Marphysa sanguinea is the most well-known polychaete species with a high economic value. However, this species has a high mortality in the early rearing stage of aquaculture. This study was conducted to find out the optimal substrate size and organic contents for the growth and survival rate of M. sanguinea larvae and juveniles. It was observed that the smaller grain size (<Ø 0.063 mm) and high organic contents (5-10%) induced settlement and reduced settlement time of larvae. Moreover, the growth and survival rate of larvae reached high levels at Ø 0.004-0.016 mm of grain sizes and 5-7.5% of organic contents as advantageous substrates for settlement. The survival rate of juveniles reached over 90% in less than Ø 0.016 mm substrate on 15-day experiment for different grain sizes of substrates. These results indicated that substrate compositions of less than Ø 0.016 mm of sand size and 5-7.5% of organic contents in mud will enhance the productivity of M. sanguinea at the early stage.
