We report two different types of thyroid lymphoma associated with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Both showed autoantibodies and were compatible with Hashimoto's thyroiditis according to their clinical backgrounds. A 76-year-old female noted a painless, rapidly growing mass in her neck which was diagnosed as diffuse non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, large cell type, after the fine needle aspiration cytology of the thyroid. She underwent chemo-radiotherapy and is free of the disease 10 months after diagnosis. The other patient, a 73-year-old female with a diffuse golfer, was diagnosed on fine needle aspiration cytology as having Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Three years later she developed a hard nodular growth in the both lobes of the thyroid. This was subjected to fine needle aspiration cytology and needle biopsy and was diagnosed as a MALT lymphoma. She refused any treatment and died 12 months after the diagnosis.

We investigated the effect of nutritional and environmental factors on Ophiocordyceps longissima mycelial growth. The longest colony diameter was observed on Schizophyllum (mushroom) genetics complete medium plus yeast extract, Schizophyllum (mushroom) genetics minimal medium, and Sabouraud dextrose agar (SDA); however, malt-extract yeast-extract agar, SDA plus yeast extract, yeast-extract malt-extract peptone dextrose agar, SDA, oatmeal agar, and potato dextrose agar showed higher mycelia density. A temperature of $25^{\circ}C$ was optimum and 7.0 was the optimum pH for mycelial growth. Colony diameter was similar under light and dark conditions. Maltose and yeast extract showed the highest mycelial growth among carbon and nitrogen sources respectively. The effect of mineral salts was less obvious; however, $K_3PO_4$ showed slightly better growth than that of the other mineral salts tested. Among all nutrition sources tested, complex organic nitrogen sources such as yeast extract, peptone, and tryptone were best for mycelial growth of O. longissima. Ophiocordyceps longissima composite medium, formulated by adding maltose (2% w/v), yeast extract (1% w/v), and $K_3PO_4$ (0.05% w/v) resulted in slightly longer colony diameter. In vitro mycelial O. longissima growth was sustainable and the production of fruiting bodies could be used for commercial purposes in the future.

Intergeneric crosses over 34 cross combinations between genus Brassica and Raphanus were made. Ovules taken out of crossed were cultured on MS media supplemented with 1.0 mg/L GA and BA. Germination of embryo from ovule culture was not influenced by BA and GA in medium but by parental characters in its cross combination. Use of Raphanus sativus cv. Daibyosobudore and Jungkukcheongpi showed low embryo germination when they were used as male part. Cross combination with Brassica juncea as male parent showed slightly increased germination compared to other cross. These results indicated that embryo germination in ovule culture was not much influenced by casein hydrolysate, malt extract, BA, kinetin and glutamine in the medium, but parents in combination were key factor for increasing embryo germination.

Massive stars are some of the most influential objects in the Universe, shaping the evolution of galaxies, creating chemical elements and hence shaping the evolution of the Universe. However, the processes by which they form and how they shape their environment during their birth processes are not well understood. We use $NH_3$ data from "The $H_2O$ Southern Galactic Plane Survey" (HOPS) survey to define the positions of dense cores/clumps of gas in the southern Galactic plane that are likely to form stars. Then, using data from "The Millimetre Astronomy Legacy Team 90 GHz" (MALT90) survey, we search for the presence of infall and outflow associated with these cores. We subsequently use the "3D Molecular Line Radiative Transfer Code" (MOLLIE) to constrain properties of the infall and outflow, such as velocity and mass flow. The aim of the project is to determine how common infall and outflow are in star forming cores, and therefore to provide valuable constraints on the timescales and physical process involved in massive star formation. Preliminary results are presented here.

A species of Corynespora was isolated from red-brown spots developed on leaves of soybean. The fungus was identified as Corynespora cassiicola and proved to be pathogenic to soybean plants. Growth of this fungus in vitro was optimal at $27^{\circ}C$, and poor at lower than 19 and higher than $35^{\circ}C$. Sporulation was abundant on the potato dextrose malt agar and moderate on V-8 juice agar and potato dextrose agar, The relative susceptibility of several soybean cultivars to Corynespora cassiicola was evaluated in the greenhouse. Cultivar Hwangkum of soybeans appered to be resistant to C cassiicola and other cultivars were susceptible or moderately resistant.

The production of itaconic acid by Aspergillus terreus NRRL 1960 was studied. The optimal culture conditional such as pH, inoculum size and medium composition were established. Maximum production of itaconic acid, $19.18g/\ell$, was obtained when the cultivation was carried out at $37^{\circ}C$ and pH 2.5 for 7days, with medium containing 5%(w/v) glucose, 0.5%(w/v) NH4Cl, 0.2%(w/v) yeast extract 0.1%(w/v) CaC12, 0.1%(w/v) MgSO4 and 0.2%(w/v) NaCl. A proper medium for inoculum culture was found to be 2%(w/v) malt extract. The batch production of itaconic acid with free cells in a stirredtank reactor was not efficient compared to the shake-flask culture.

This Study was carried out to investigate the optimal mycelial growth of Pholiota nameko. The optimal medium for the mycelial growth was ME medium. The optimal temperature and pH were $25^{\circ}C$$\pm$1 and 5.5, respectively. The modified optimal medium compositions were glucose 3% (w/v), malt extract 0.25% (w/v), yeast extract 0.25% (w/v), $KH_2PO_4$ 0.046% (w/v), $K_2HPO_4$ 0.1% (w/v), $MgSO_4$ㆍ$7H_2O$ 0.05% (w/v). From the result of experiments on the optimal temperature, pH and nutritional requirements, the mycelial growth of modified optimal medium was higher than that of ME medium.

This study was undertaken to investigate the effect of cereals on the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of Noti. Noti is one of Korean traditional pan-fried glutinous cereal cakes. In this case, Noti was made from the steamed glutinous millet flour Aspergillus and Penicillium developed in glutinous millet Noti dough from 40th day. The reducing sugar content of glutinous millet Noti was higher than that of the Noti dough during the same period and almost similar as the first day even 90 day storage. The moisture content of glutinous millet Noti was less than 20％. Moisture content of glutinous millet Noti to compare with the common rice cake was from 1/2 to 1/3. While gelatinization degree significantly decreased in the rice cake that did not add malt, glutinous millet Noti did not show decreasing gelatinization degree in comparison with the common rice cake. Overall acceptability was to add 15％ malt and keep 6 hr saccharification time at 60$^{\circ}C$. The hard ness of glutinous millet Noti by Instron measurement was slowly increased after the l0th day. Cohesiveness and elasticity were increased during the period of storage.

A bacterial strain LC-413, producing extracellular inulin fructotransferase which converts inulin into di-D-fructofuranose dianhydride(DFAIII) and amount of oilgosaccharides, was isolated from soil and pre-sumed as Flavobacteium sp. LC-413. The enzyme production was induced by inulin as carbon source and enhanced by the addition of 0.3% malt extract and 0.2% {TEX}$NaNO_{3}${/TEX} as nitrogen source. The enzyme activity in the culture supernatant reached at the maximum, 78.6units/ml, after 11 hours of cultivation in the medium composition of 1.5% inulin, 0.2% {TEX}$NaNO_{3}${/TEX}, 0.05% {TEX}$K_{2}${/TEX}{TEX}$HPO_{4}${/TEX}, 0.05% {TEX}$MgSO_{4}${/TEX}.7{TEX}$H_{2}${/TEX}O, 0.05% KCI, a trace amount of {TEX}$FeSO_{4}${/TEX}.7{TEX}$H_{2}${/TEX}O, and 0.3% malt ext. at 3$0^{\circ}C$. The oilgosaccharide produced by enzyme reaction from inulin was identified as DFA III by and {TEX}${13}^C${/TEX}-NMR spectrosocpy.

The fungal genus Trametes is globally distributed and comprises various wood-decay species, including the well-known medicinal mushroom Trametes versicolor, a popular remedy in traditional Asian medicine. Trametes species produce antioxidants, which have a wide range of health benefits. The pressent study evaluated seven indigenous Trametes species from Korea, which were cultivated in three different media (dextrose-yeast extract, DY; malt extract-yeast extract, MY; malt extract broth, MEB) and tested for antioxidant activity using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) assays. We found that the medium consumption rate did not significantly differ between the media and among the strains (72-76%). However, the T. versicolor strains had a relatively low consumption rate (14-65%). The 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) (ABTS) tests demonstrated that culture filtrates of T. cf. junipericola, T. orientalis, T. suaveolens, and T. versicolor possessed antioxidant activity against damage from free radicals. In particular, T. cf. junipericola (DY) and T. versicolor (MY) had >80% activity in the DPPH and ABTS assays, compared with that of the positive control (ascorbic acid). Thus, our study identified promising candidates with substantial antioxidant activity among the indigenous strains of Trametes spp. from Korea.
