Wood biomass production at 1-year, 2-year, and 3-year rotations on both low and upper hills at 2m 2m spacing (25,000 trees/ha) was studied for a six-year period with following 12 species; Lespedeza cyrtobotrya Amorpha fruticosa. Robinia pseudoacacia, Acer saccharinum, Platanus orientalis Populus alba ${\times}$ P. glandulosa $F_1$, Salix alba, Pinus rigida, Alnus hirsuta var. sibirica, A. inokumai A. gultinosa, and A. incana. In One-year rotation, Lespedeza cyrtobotrya produced largest amoung of biomass (2.6 t/ha/year, fresh weight) and Populus alba ${\times}$ P. glandulosa $F_1$ the second largest (2.2 t/ha/year) on low hill. In two-year rotation, the latter produced the largest amount (4.8 t/ha/year) and Alnus hirsuta var. sibirica second largest (2.8 t/ha/year) on low hill. In three-year rotation, the largest weight (11.2 t/ha/year) was produced by Robinia pseudoacacia and the second largest (6.2 t/ha/year) by Alnus hirsuta var. sibirica on low hill Amorpha fruticosa, Acer saccharinum, Platanus orientalis and Salix alba were not suitable for biomass or fuelwood productio due to poor growth. Biomass yield on upper hill was reduced considerably for all tewlve species, with less than 4 t/year at maximum Only nitrogen fixing species (Robinia and Alnus species) are recommended on upper hill for biomass production wood sprouting ability of species was generally associated with good biomass production. Calori values of ovendry wood ranged from 4,485 cal/g for Salix alba to 5,125 cal/g for Alnus glutinosa. For maximum biomass production a three-year ratation with coppice is preferred to one-year and two-year roataions The best species appeared to be Robinia pseudoacacia and Alnus hirsuta var sibirica.

The effects of fermented products from 40 medicinal herbals commonly available in Korea were examined according to concentrations of polyphenolic compound and kojic acid, and the activities of DPPH ($\alpha,\alpha$'-diphenyl-$\beta$-picrylhydrazyl) free radical scavenging and tyrosinase. The polyphenolic compound concentrations were 0.24 by Corydalis turtschaminovill ~ 11.42% (dry matter basis) by Syringa velutina in the extracts and 0.18 by Poria cocos ~ 12.27% by S. velutina in the fermented products. Kojic acid concentrations were 0.02 by Poria cocos Sclerotium ~ 9.67 mM by S. velutina in the extracts and 0.33 by P. cocos ~ 10.32 mM by S. velutina in the fermented products. Syringa velutina contained the highest polyphenolic compound and kojic acid concentrations, which were higher in the fermented product than in the extract. Higher DPPH free radical scavenging activity (>60%) was observed in the extracts of A. sessiliflorum, Citrus nobillis, and Angelica gigas and the fermented product of A. sessiliflorum compared to the other medicinal plants. Higher tyrosinase inhibition activity (>50%) was observed in the extracts of Morus alba, Glycyrrhiza glabra, and Rubus coreanus and the fermented products of G. glabra, Cnidium officinale, and S. velutina. Based on the above results, G. glabra, C. officinale, and S. velutina possessed high tyrosinase-inhibitive activities and kojic acid concentrations, which could be definitely enhanced by the fermentation of Phenillus linteus mycelium.

In vitro intra- and interspecific molecular hybridizations of lactate dehydrogenase isozymes from six species were performed by freezing and thawing the isozymes in sodium chloride, resulting each of the interspecific hybridization of Fluta alba $H_4 \\times$ Ophicephalus argus $M_4$ and that of O. argus $M_4 \\times$ Parasilurus asotus isozymes showed one hybrid isozyme considered to be an $M_2H_2$ isozyme. The results fit with the suggestion that the isozyme of lower vertebrates is a dimer of homodimer as far as te assemblies of subunit M and subunit H are concerned.

The effect of arogh, a polyherbal formulation-PHF [each 3 g powder contained Nelumbo nucifera G. (0.24 g), Hemidesmus indicus R. (0.24 g), Zingiber officinale R. (0.24 g), Terminalia chebula R. (0.24 g), Quercus infectoria O. (0.12 g), Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L. (0.24 g), Rosa damascene M.(0.24 g), Eclipta alba H.(0.24 g), Glycyrrhiza glabra L. (0.24 g)] was investigated in various experimental models of pain and inflammation. Analgesic activity of PHF was studied in mice using acetic acid induced writhing, tail immersion and hot plate methods. Anti-inflammatory activity of PHF was studied in rats using carrageenan induced hind paw edema and formalin induced rat paw edema methods. PHF significantly (P < 0.05) reduced the number of writhings, increased latency to flick tail in tail immersion method and elevated the mean basal reaction time in hot plate method. PHF significantly (P < 0.05) inhibited carrageenan induced hind paw edema and formalin induced rat paw edema. The PHF was tested at dose of 30, 100, 300 and 500 mg/kg.

Tow Soil fumigants, cylon and chloropiclin were examined for mulberry graftage growth on the nursery garden. Thirty ml/$m^2$ of each fumigants was injected and followed vinyl coverage 4 weeks before planting. Fumigants increased clearly diameter and branch length of graftages, and controled weeds occurance. These effects showed a little bit higher in chloropiclin than in cylon, but no difference statistically at 5% LSD.

We have developed a high performance powder, which has a quenching efficacy not only for short-chain fatty acids and amines, but also for vinyl ketones (l-octen-3-one, cis-l,5-octadien-3-one), newly found as other key compounds in axillary malodor. By investigating various powders known to have a quenching efficacy, we finally developed a highly porous silica bead containing magnesium oxide. We found that the superior deodorant effect performed by this powder was the result of multiple effects due to both an excellent physical adsorption capability from its high porosity and a specific adsorption of vinyl ketones by magnesium in the powder. An antiperspirant formulation containing both this powder and a Morus alba extract showed good efficacy as a deodorant.

Excellence of the Korean traditional paper(Hanji) can be proved by literatures and legacies handed down from generations. However, with the problems pertaining to a majority of traditional manufactures, Hanji industry was declined because of low productivity, insufficient supply of raw material , and reduced demand. therefore, modernizxation of the Hanji technology and development of new uses are very important. This study was carried to investigated the papermaking characteristics of Morus spp.(M.alba, M.Bombycis, and M.Ihou) for new Hanji, modernize manufacturing process of Hanji by grafting on developed modern pulping and papermaking technology, develop the various uses, and establish the foundation for development of high value-added products. Hanji is made from M.Ihou, while stalk , and sulfomethylated pulp gave better sheet formation and higher brightness than those of the others. Physical properties of Hanji which made from bast fiber pulps were better than those of whole stalk pulps. Hanji which made from M.bombycis bast fiber and whole stalk pulps were not so good sheet strength as other species. Sulfomethylated whole stalk pulps were shown better sheet strength than alkali and alkali-hydrogen peroxide whole stalk pulps.

The aim of this study was to develop and validate an analytical method for determining the presence of wogonin, quercetin, and quercetin-3-O-glucuronide in extracts of Nelumbo nucifera, Morus alba L., and Raphanus sativus mixtures. We evaluated the specificity, linearity, precision, accuracy, limit of detection (LOD), and limit of quantification (LOQ) of analytical methods for wogonin, quercetin, and quercetin-3-O-glucuronide using high performance liquid chromatography. Our result showed that the correlation coefficients of the calibration curve for wogonin, quercetin, and quercetin-3-O-glucuronide were 0.9999. The LOD for wogonin, quercetin, and quercetin-3-O-glucuronide ranged from 0.09 to 0.16 and those for the LOQ ranged from 0.26 to $0.48{\mu}g/mL$. The inter-day and intra-day precision values of wogonin, quercetin, and quercetin-3-O-glucuronide ranged from 0.74 to 1.87 and from 0.28 to 1.12%, respectively. The inter-day and intra-day accuracies were 99.96~115.88% and 99.73~114.81%, respectively. Therefore, the analytical method was validated for the detection of wogonin, quercetin, and quercetin-3-O-glucuronide in extracts of Nelumbo nucifera, Morus alba L., and Raphanus sativus mixtures.

Adults of Maritrema obstipum (Digenea: Microphallidae) were found in the intestines of 4 species of migratory birds, including the sanderling (Crocethia alba), Kentish plover (Charadrius alexandrines), Mongolian plover (Charadrius mongolus), and red-necked stint (Calidris ruficollis), collected from Yubu Island, Chungcheongnam-do, Korea. The worms of were $451{\times}265{\mu}m$ in size, and were easily identifiable as Maritrema species by the presence of the cirrus sac, and the ring-like distribution of the vitellaria. More specifically, the ejaculatory duct curved posteromedially, and the 2 parts of vitelline follicles were found to be distinct at the posterior end. The eggs were brown-colored, and $19.8{\times}12.3{\mu}m$ in size. All these findings implicated M. obstipum as the pertinent species of the worms. Beside these, adult worms of Gynaecotyla squatarolae, Parvatrema duboisi, and Acanthoparyphium sp. were also discovered. This is the first report establishing migratory birds as the natural definitive hosts for M. obstipum.
