This study was carried out to investigate the characteristics of the lining papers which had been separated from six pieces of paintings and calligraphic works of the 18th and the 20th century. A total 20 kinds of lining papers were examined on the physical properties, colors, fiber morphology, and color reactions. The grammage and thickness of lining papers which had been used hanging-scroll type works were higher than those of folder types. On the other hand, the grammage and thickness of the first layer lining papers which had been separated from silk ground works were lower than those of paper ground works. All kinds of lining papers were colored from yellow to yellowish red because of unbleaching and deterioration. Through the examination on fiber morphology and color reactions, lining papers were verified that all of those were made from paper mulberry bast fiber but the first layer of the Mukjukdo. The lining paper which of the first layer of the Mukjukdo was verified that it was made from mixture of paper mulberry, hemp, and spruce pulps.

Nevus comedonicus is a type of hamartoma that arises from a developmental anomaly of the mesodermal part of the pilosebaceous gland. In most cases of nevus comedonicus, an acne-like skin condition develops. Repeated inflammation can cause a morphological change to the cyst, papule, to abscess. We experienced a case of congenital nevus comedonicus, which led to the formation of large multiple cysts. A 50-year-old man was referred with a $12.5{\times}10cm$ lobulated mass on the posterior neck and upper back. The patient had a widespread presence of nevus comedonicus in the region ranging from the right superior chest to the posterior neck. The patient had a 30-year history of six prior excisions. A magnetic resonance imaging review led to a diagnosis of nevus comedonicus. Surgical treatment consisted of excision of the mass and wide excision for the patch type of nevus comedonicus around the neck. On histopathology, multiple masses were diagnosed as typical cysts containing keratinized tissue. The diffuse comedone lesions were diagnosed as nevus comedonicus. This case shows that large, multiple cysts can occur as a long-term complication of nevus comedonicus, and also highlights the importance of radical resection to prevent its further invagination.

Colon cancer is considered as the precarious forms of cancer in many developed countries, with few to no symptoms; the tumor is often diagnosed in the later stages of cancer. Monoterpenes are a major part of plant essential oils found largely in fruits, vegetables and herbs. The cellular and molecular activities show therapeutic progression that may reduce the risk of developing cancer by modulating the factors responsible for colon carcinogenesis. Colon cancer was induced with DMH with a dose of (20 mg/Kg/body weight) for 15 weeks by subcutaneous injection once in a week. Myrtenal treatment was started with (230 mg/Kg/body weight) by intragastric administration, one week prior to DMH induction and continued till the experimental period of 30 weeks. The Invivo results exhibit the elevated antioxidant and lipid peroxidation levels in DMH treated animals. The Histopathological analysis of colon tissues well supported the biochemical alterations and inevitably proves the protective role of Myrtenal. Treatment with myrtenal to cancer bearing animals resulted in a remarkable increase in the inherent antioxidants and excellent modulation in the morphological and physiological nature of the colon tissue. It is thus concluded that myrtenal exhibits excellent free radical scavenging activity and anticancer activity through the suppression of colon carcinoma in Wistar albino rats.

The over-expression of Arabidopsis CAX1 and CAX2 causes transgenic tomato plants to reveal severe $Ca^{2+}$ deficiency-like symptoms such as tip-burn and/or blossom end rot, despite there being sufficient $Ca^{2+}$ in each plant part. To correct the symptoms and to moderately enhance the calcium level, a worldwide vegetable tomato was genetically engineered using a modified Arabidopsis cation/$H^+$ antiporter sCAX2A, a mutant form of Arabidopsis CAX2. Compared with the wild-type, the sCAX2A-expressing tomato plants demonstrated elevated $Ca^{2+}$ levels in the fruits with almost no changes in the levels of $Mn^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$, and $Fe^{2+}$. Moreover, expression of sCAX2A in tomato plants did not show any significant alterations in their morphological phenotypes. Unlike 35S::sCAX1 construct, sCAX2A antiporter gene driven by 35S promoter can be a valuable tool for enriching $Ca^{2+}$ contents in the tomato fruit without additional accumulation of the undesirable cations.

This study was carried out to investigate the skeletal measurement of the sternum and ribs at 60-, 90-, 120-day-old fetuses and neonates of Korean native goats. The total length and width of the ossified part of the sternebrae and ribs were observed at 60-, 90-, 120-day-old fetuses and neonates. The ossification of the ribs from the 1st to the 8th rib was observed in 60-day-old fetuses, but not observed from the 9th to the last rib. In the 90-day-old fetuses, all ribs were observed having ossified parts. In the 60-day-old fetuses, all sternebrae were not observed having ossified parts. All sternebrae were observed having ossified parts in the 90-day-old fetuses. In the 90-day-old fetuses, the length of the ossified parts of each sternebrae was longer than its width. In the 120-day-old fetuses and neonates, the length of the ossified parts of the 1st, 2nd, and 7th sternebrae was longer than its width, but the width of from the 3rd to 6th sternebrae was longer than the length.

This study was to find a way of reusing wood and plastic wastes, which considered as a troublesome problem to be solved in this age of mass production and consumption, in manufacturing wood fiber-polypropylene fiber composite panel. And the feasibility of this composite panel as a substitute for existing headliner base panel of automobile was also discussed, especially based on physical and mechanical performance. Nonwoven web composite panels were made from wood fiber and polypropylene fiber formulations of 50 : 50, 60 : 40, and 70 : 30, based on oven-dry weight, with densities of 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, and 0.7 g/$cm^3$. At the same density levels, control fiberboards were also manufactured for performance comparison with the composite panels. Their physical and mechanical properties were tested according to ASTM D 1037-93. To elucidate thickness swelling mechanism of composite panel through the observation of morphological change of internal structures, the specimens before and after thickness swelling test by 24-hour immersion in water were used in scanning electron microscopy. Test results in this study showed that nonwoven web composite panel from wood fibers and polypropylene fibers had superior physical and mechanical properties to control fiberboard. In the physical properties of composite panel, dimensional stability improved as the content of polypropylene fiber increased, and the formulation of wood fiber and polypropylene fiber was considered to be a significant factor in the physical properties. Water absorption decreased but thickness swelling slightly increased with the increase of panel density. In the mechanical properties of composite panel, the bending modulus of rupture (MOR) and modulus of elasticity (MOE) appeared to improve with the increase of panel density under all the tested conditions of dry, heated, and wet. The formulation of wood fiber and polypropylene fiber was considered not to be a significant factor in the mechanical properties. All the bending MOR values under the dry, heated, and wet conditions met the requirements in the existing headliner base panel of resin felt.

슈베르트마나이트로부터 침철석으로의 전이 시 일어나는 광물학적 변화 및 이와 연관된 중금속의 거동을 알아보기 위하여 달성광산의 광산배수 정화시설 소택지에 침전된 침전물을 대상으로 광물학적 연구와 지구화학적 연구를 수행하였다. XRD 연구결과 초기에 광산배수로부터 침전된 슈베르트마나이트는 대부분 침철석으로 전이되어 상부 일부에서만 슈베르트마나이트가 관찰되었다. SEM으로 광물 전이에 따른 외부형태 변화를 관찰한 결과 눈에 띄는 변화가 없는 것으로 보아 광물전이는 용해-챔전의 과정보다는 고체상에서의 전이가 있었음을 알 수 있었다. 슈베르트마나이트와 침철석에 흡착 또는 공침된 중금속들 중 Pb와 Cu의 경우 광산배수의 중금속 농도에 비교하여 상대적으로 높은 농도를 보였으며 나머지 중금속들은 상대적인 양에 있어서 비슷한 값을 보였다. 상부 슈베르트마나이트에서 하부의 침철석으로 전이가 일어나면서 광물 내 함유된 중금속의 함량은 일부 시료를 제외하고 전체적으로 눈에 띄는 변화를 보이지 않았으며 이는 슈베르트마나이트에서 침철석으로 전이되는 과정에서 고체 상태에서 전이가 일어나면서 추가적인 중금속의 용출이나 흡착이 없었음을 지시한다.

무당벌레(Harmonia axyridis)성충 더듬이에 분포하는 감각기를 주사전자현미경으로 관찰하였다. 무당벌레 성충 더듬이에서 형태적으로 크게 차이를 보이는 5종류의 감각기, $B\ddot{o}hm$, Basiconic, Chetiform, Trichoid 그리고 Coeloconic sensilla를 관찰할 수 있었다. $B\ddot{o}hm$ sensilla는 자루마디와 팔굽마디 기부안쪽의 등쪽면과 배쪽면에서만 관찰되었고, 이것은 분포된 위치로 미루어 더듬이의 움직임과 위치를 확인하는 자기반응감응성 감각기로 보여진다. Basiconic sensilla와 Chetiform sensilla는 형태적 차이에 의하여 3가지 subtype으로 나눌 수 있었으며, Trichoid sensilla는 암 수컷 더듬이 모두에서 더듬이 말단의 2마디에서만 확인되었다. 무당벌레 성충 더듬이에서 관찰된 sexual dimorphism은 더듬이 감각기의 분포와 종류가 있었는데 이것은 암컷과 수컷간의 더듬이 감각기의 분포가 다르게 나타났으며, 감각기의 다양성이 가장 높게 나타난 말단마디의 배쪽면에서 관찰된 Coeloconic sensilla는 수컷에서만 관찰되었고, Trichoid sensilla의 경우 수컷보다 암컷에서 더 많이 관찰되었다. 이러한 sexual dimorphism은 동종의 성상호간 통신에 이용되는 것으로 보여진다.

The present study is undertaken to investigate the hypertrophical changes of the corpus allatum (corpora allata, CA) after the ovariectomy in Blattella germanica. In particular, the ultrastructural aspects of the normal and ovariectomized conditions, and induced factors of the hypertrophic phenomenon are focused. Ultrastructure of the CA from an immediately emergent adult is similar to that of the last larval stage that has stopped secreting juvenile hormone. The CA is composed of undifferentiated cells, exhibiting an electron-lucent matrix, a few mitochondria and less smooth endoplasmic reticulum. The karyoplasm occupy most of the cytoplasm. Electron-dense materials are filled with the intercellular spaces and gap junctions are also found. Almost no ultrastructural changes have been noticed during seven days until the oviposition. However, considerable changes in structure have been detected soon after the oviposition. Mitochondria are increased dramatically in number and cristae, and changed to the filamentous form with a high electron density. In addition, Golgi complexes, microtubules, and polysomes are also increased. After an oviposition, the total volume of the CA are decreased again. The volume of the CA are increased continuously, hypertrophy, after the ovariectomy. Morphological aspects of the CA in an early stage after the removal are similar to the structure of the secondary egg maturation. Large and electron dense globules are observed in the ovariectomized CA cytoplasms and they are present in those cells for a long period of time. Yet such a hypertrophical phenomenon occur only in the specific cells. The hypertrophy are caused by hollowing the part of the CA cells and later filling such site with polysomes. In 42 days after the ovariectomy, the nuclear membranes disappear in the CA cells, thus, exhibiting the prokaryotic-like features. Some results of the current study will contribute to the establishment of the model that explain unusual changes accompanied by certain treatment in insects and/or further in animals.
