한반도 동해 연안에 자생하는 거머리말의 종 내 형태적 변이의 한계를 파악하기 위하여 1998년 6월부터 8월까지 (동해 중부 화진포에서부터 남부 대변까지) 식물체를 채집 비교 분석하였다. 거머리말은 연안의 석호, 항구와 만의 다양한 생육지에서 출현하였다. 생체를 대상으로 형태학적 주요 형질은 직접 측정되었으며, 이들 자료로 형질의 상관관계, 주성분 분석과 군집분석을 하였다. 외부형질의 특징에 따라 거머리말은 단협엽형, 장광엽형의 두 그룹으로 구분되었으며, 엽두 형태는 원두, 둔두, 미요두, 소요두, 유두, 예두와 미철두로 각 생육지와 집단 내에서도 변이가 다양하게 출현하였다. 동해연안에 생육하는 거머리말의 군집들은 생육환경에 따라 식물체 크기와 외부형질 변이 폭이 큰 것으로 밝혀졌다.

한반도 남부 13개 선상지를 일본, 대만, 필리핀의 690개 선상지와 비교, 분석하였다. 선상지 경사와 함양역 면적, 선상지 경사와 함양역 기복비, 선상지 면적과 함양역 면적, 그리고 함양역 면적과 함양역 기복비와의 관계를 정량적으로 검토한 결과, 한반도 남부의 선상지는 아시아의 선상지 특성과 잘 부합되지만, 선상지 빈도와 밀도가 낮다. 또한 선상지 하천의 함양역 규모가 작고, 기복비가 커서 선상지 규모가 작고 경사가 급하다. 36개 주요 하천 곡구부에서 선상지가 형성되지 않는 것은 상대적으로 낮은 산지고도와 함양역의 기복비 때문이다. 한국의 선상지에서는 Blair and McPherson이 주장한 지형면 경사의 공백을 확인할 수 없으며, 경주 선상지는 경사가 완만한 하성 선상지의 가능성이 높다.

The purpose of this study was to develop discriminant analysis models for predicting cervical normal/dysplasia case diagnoses using cytometric features derived from the digital image analysis of cell monolayers. The database consisted of 19 cases diagnosed either as normal (n=5), moderate dysplasia (n=7), severe dysplasia (n=7) on monolayer preparations. We studied the nuclear and cytoplasmic characteristics of cells in the normal, moderate dysplasia and severe dysplasia on cervical samples. The morphometric parameters selected for the analysis were nuclear/cytoplasmic ratio and the nuclear variations measured by image analysis on normal and precancerous lesions of cervical smears; several shape factors; area; perimeter; maximal, minimal and equivalent circle diameters. The results showed that the dysplasia samples exhibited changes in both cellular and nuclear form and size but lacked substantial differences in the tumor grades. The coefficient of nuclear variation is as follows to normal cell $21.8{\pm}3.2%$, moderate dysplasia $33.5{\pm}6.1%$, severe dysplasia $27.7{\pm}5.8$ of cervical smears.

The microarchitecture of trabecular bone plays a significant role in mechanical strength due to its load-bearing capability. However, the complexity of trabecular microarchitecture hinders the evaluation of its morphological characteristics. We therefore propose a new classification method based on static multiscale theory and dynamic finite element method (FEM) analysis to visualize a three-dimensional (3D) trabecular network for investigating the influence of trabecular microarchitecture on load-bearing capability. This method is applied to human vertebral trabecular bone images obtained by micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) through which primary trabecular bone is successfully visualized and extracted from a highly complicated microarchitecture. The morphological features were then analyzed by viewing the percolation of load pathways in the primary trabecular bone by using the stress wave propagation method analyzed under impact loading. We demonstrate that the present method is effective for describing the morphology of trabecular bone and has the potential for morphometric measurement applications.

The genus Acrobeloides(Cobb, 1924) Thorne, 1937 are bacterial feeders and are one of the most abundant and widely distributed nematode groups in various terrestrial environments. Based on morphological and morphometric analyses, we found two Acrobeloides species reported in Korea for the first time: A. bodenheimeri (Steiner, 1936) Thorne, 1937 and A. tricornis (Throne, 1925) Thorne, 1937. These species exhibit morphological characters concordant with typical features of the genus Acrobeloides, such as a fusiform pharyngeal corpus with swollen metacorpus and lateral incisures extending to the tail terminus. However, A. bodenheimeri is distinguished from other acrobeloids by having its low and rounded labial probolae, distinct post-uterine sac and five lateral incisures. Acrobeloides tricornis is distinguished from its congeners by the following characteristics: its high labial probolae with acuate termini, inconspicuous post-uterine sac and five lateral incisures. Morphological characters and their measurements, and illustrations of A. bodenheimeri and A. tricornis are described in this study.

Mesorhabditis microbursaris (Steiner, 1926) Sudhaus, 2011, belonging to the family Mesorhabditidae (Rhabditomorpha), is newly reported from South Korea. During a survey of small streams, M. microbursaris was isolated from sedimentary soil samples. The genus Mesorhabditis Osche, 1952 nematodes are distributed all over the world and are mostly found from terrestrial habitats, however are sometimes found in freshwater. At present, 34 valid species have been recorded from Mesorhabditis; however, only three species have been reported from South Korea. Mesorhabditis microbursaris exhibits morphological characters of other congeneric species, including shorter distance between vulva and anus than the distance between anus and tail, rudimentary bursa with narrow velum and short genital papillae, shorter spicules than tail and conical tail. However, this species can be distinguished from other Mesorhabditis species by its morphometric characters and three pairs of bursal papillae. Details of the morphological characteristics and morphometrics of M. microbursaris are described and illustrated based on optical microscopy.

Purpose: The present study was undertaken to examine whether periodontal probe visibility (PV) accurately reflects gingival thickness (GT) and to identify factors affecting PV using cluster and multivariate analyses. Methods: The clinical characteristics of the maxillary central incisors (n=90 subjects) were examined. Clinical photographs, sex, PV, probing depth, gingival width, papilla height, GT as measured with an ultrasonic device, and the ratio of crown width to crown length were recorded. Multivariate analysis, using multinomial baseline-category logistic regression, was used to identify factors predictive of PV. Cluster analysis was used to identify gingival biotypes. Results: In the multivariate analysis, sex was the only significant predictor of PV (odds ratio, 6.48). Two clusters of subjects were created based on morphometric parameters. The mean GT among cluster A subjects was significantly lower than that among cluster B subjects (P=0.015). No significant difference was found between cluster A and B subjects in terms of PV score (P=0.583). Conclusions: Periodontal PV was not associated with GT as measured directly using an ultrasonic device. Sex was a highly significant predictor of periodontal PV. GT was found to be correlated with morphological characteristics of the periodontium.

The root-lesion nematode Pratylenchus spp. is the most important plantparasitic nematode due to its worldwide distribution, wide host ranges, and migratory endoparasitic characteristics. One population of Pratylenchus collected from the giant pussy willow (Salix chaenomeloides Kimura) in the Andong area as part of a nematode survey in Korea was characterized morphologically and by molecular methods. The analysis of morphological measurements and morphometric characteristics, as well as DNA sequencing of the rRNA large subunit (LSU) D2/D3 expansion segments and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) gene sequence, confirmed the identity of this population as P. hippeastri. This study is the first report of P. hippeastri associated with Salix chaenomeloides in Korea and worldwide. Further studies on distribution and pathogenicity in different P. hippeastri host crops, such as grapevines, strawberries, and apples, are necessary. The taxonomic keys to 16 Pratylenchus species in Korea are provided.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the body mass index(BMI) and foot characteristics of senior-generation women and to use those values to develop a standard shoe last for producing shoes that best fit the foot of senior-generation women. In order to develop a standard shoe last that reflects the BMI and foot characteristics of senior-generation women, I analyzed the morphometric characteristics of feet by conducting descriptive statistics for each item. The foot characteristics based on BMI were analyzed by conducting ANOVA and Duncan's tests via the foot's measured values. Subsequently, I developed a standard shoe last reflecting the BMI and the foot characteristics of senior-generation women by applying all those values. Senior-generation women showed significant differences among three groups based on BMI-normal weight, overweight, and obese-in all the items except for medial ball width and toe 5 angle. Through these values, I realized that as the value of the BMI becomes higher, the size of the foot becomes larger. This suggests that as a woman's weight increases or decreases, her shoes need to be replaced as well as her clothes. Deviations in the toe-side parts of the shoe could cause deformation of the foot. If someone keeps wearing shoes produced using a shoe last with a large deviation, she risks developing foot conditions like hallux valgus. This situation points to the need for shoe manufacture that utilizes a standard shoe last that reflects the BMI and foot characteristics of the senior generation.
