Background : Plants belonging to 5 species of the genus Eleutherococcus are currently distributed in the Korean peninsula. The traditional medicine 'Ogapi', derived from Eleutherococcus sessiliflorus and other related species, and 'Gasiogapi', derived from Eleutherococcus senticosus, are frequently mixed up and marketed. Therefore, accurated identification of their origins in urgently required. Methods and Results : Candidate genes from nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA) and chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) of Eleutherococcus plants were analyzed. Whereas the nrDNA-internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions were useful in elucidating the phylogenetic relationships among the plants, the cpDNA regions were not as effective. Therefore, a combined analysis with nrDNA-ITS was performed. Various combinations of nrDNA and matK were effective for discriminating among the plants. However, the matK and rpoC1 combination was ineffective for discriminating among some species. Based on these results, it was found that OG1, OG4, OG5, OG7, GS1, GS2, and GS3 were derived from E. sessiliflorus. In particular, it was confirmed that GS1, GS2, and GS3 were not derived from E. senticosus. However, more samples need to be analyzed because identification of the origins of OG2, OG3, OG6 and GS4 was not possible. Conclusion : The ITS2, ITS5a, and matK combination was the most effective in identifying the phylogenetic relationship among Eleutherococcus plants and traditional medicines based on Eleutherococcus.

Characteristics of the swelling-induced wrinkles on the surfaces of natural rubber (NR) film were investigated. The wrinkle structure was generated by swelling of NR film pre-stretched and firmly bonded onto an aluminum substrate in hexane. A novel experimental method was adopted to replicate the swelling-induced wrinkles on the NR film using an epoxy-hardener system. To get insight into the wrinkle parameters; the wrinkle length (L), wrinkle distance (D), wrinkle height (H) and the angle between two consecutive wrinkles (${\theta}$), the cross-sections of the replicas obtained from saturated swollen NR film were examined using an optical microscopy (OM). From the OM images, the wrinkling parameters were measured as a function of the thickness of NR film from 0.42 to 1.76 mm. Also, it was evaluated that the effects of swelling time on the wrinkling parameters. The length (L), distance (D) and height (H) of wrinkles increased as the thickness of the NR film and the swelling time increased. However, the angle between the wrinkles (${\theta}$) showed a sharp decrease up to a swelling time of 200 minutes and slightly decreased afterwards.

5G 서비스는 기존 이동통신주파수보다 상대적으로 높은 중대역(n78)을 사용하고 있어서 2GHz 이하의 저대역 주파수를 활용하여 5G 커버리지 개선이 필요하다. 이를 위해서는 저대역 주파수의 대부분을 사용하는 LTE와 5G-NR 시스템의 동적 스펙트럼 공유(Dynamic Spectrum Sharing) 기술의 적용이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 DSS 적용을 위한 시그널링 오버헤드 요소와 단말기 구현 RF 이슈들을 도출하고, 저대역 주파수 중 광대역 주파수 활용이 가능한 1.8GHz 대역(50MHz 폭)에 대해 5G-NR과 LTE 각각의 관점에서 시그널링 오버헤드 비율과 단말기 RF 이슈들을 분석하였다. 분석 결과들을 통해 저대역을 활용한 DSS 기술을 적용한다면 LTE 트래픽이 5G-NR로 빠르게 이전할 경우, 5G 커버리지 개선으로 인해 우수한 서비스 품질을 제공할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

충전제의 영향을 막기 위해 비보강 NR, BR, SBR 고무 가황물을 원형 변형시켜 노화시킨 후 회복 거동을 비교하였다. 시료는 상온, 50, 70, $90^{\circ}C$에서 10일간 노화시켰다. 측정 시간이 증가함에 따라 회복률은 증가하였다. 노화 후 측정 시간에 따른 회복률의 변화로부터 1.0 초 미만의 순간회복률을 구하였다. 상온 노화에서는 노화 기간이 짧아 고무 간의 회복률 차이가 거의 나타나지 않았다. 하지만 50, 70, $90^{\circ}C$에서의 가속 노화 실험 결과에서는 각 고무 간의 회복률 차이가 뚜렷하게 나타났다. BR의 회복률이 가장 우수하였고, SBR의 회복률이 가장 적었다. 그러나 $90^{\circ}C$ 가속 노화 에서는 NR의 회복률이 BR보다 높게 나타났다. 노화 온도가 높아 질수록 초기 회복률이 감소하였으며, 그 감소 폭은 SBR이 가장 크게 나타났다. 실험 결과는 고무의 반발 특성과 노화에 의한 가교밀도 변화로 설명하였다.

Objectives : The goal of this study was to compare the clinical characteristics of panic disorder respiratory subtype(PD-R) and non-respiratory subtype(PD-NR). Methods : 84 patients with panic disorder were enrolled and divided into 2 groups, 29 PD-R and 55 PD-NR. Diagnosis of panic disorder was evaluated using Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders $4^{th}$ edition and Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview. They were also measured with Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety(HAM-A), Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression(HAM-D), and Panic Disorder Severity Scale (PDSS). Results : PD-R group showed significantly higher scores in PDSS than those of PD-NR group(p=.027). After controlling for the severity of panic disorder and gender, PD-R group showed higher HAM-D and somatic anxiety subscale of HAM-A than those of PD-NR group. Furthermore, results of logistic regression analysis suggested that the somatic anxiety was a possible risk factor of PD-R(OR=1.404,p=0.009). Conclusion : These results suggest that somatic anxiety and depressive symptom would be important clinical characteristics of PD-R.

Objective : The role of high frequency 120 Hz electroacupuncture(EA) in carrageenan-induced pain was studied by examining the alnalgesic effects, and prostaglandin $E_2(PGE_2)$ levels measurement and spinal N-methyl-D-aspartate(NMDA) receptor expression. Inflammation was induced by an intraplantar injection of 1% carrageenan into the right hind paw. Method : Bilateral EA stimulation with 120 Hz were delivered at those acupoints corresponding to Zusanli and Sanyinjiao in man via the needles for a total of 30 min duration in carrageenan-injected rats. Results : EA stimulation showed significant analgesic effects as measured by analgesy-meter at all time points tested compared with controls. Three hours after carrageenan injection, PGE2 levels were measured by commercial kit. EA significantly inhibited PGE2 production in the right paw. The number of NR1 and NR2A, NMDA receptor, immunoreactive neurons was significantly increased in the superficial dorsal horn(laminae I-II) and nucleus proprius(laminae III-IV) of ipsilateral spinal cord at L4-5. But the number of carrageenan-induced NR1 and NR2A immunoreactive neuron, especially NR1 immunoreaction in the superficial dorsal horn, was reduced by 120 Hz EA stimulation. Conclusions : These results indicate that NMDA receptors may mediate transmission of nociceptive information originating in tissue inflammation of hind paw and high frequency 120 Hz EA stimulation have an alleviating action against local inflammatory pain.

Objectives : The original plant species of Schisandrae Fructus (O-mi-ja) is prescribed as Schisandra chinensis $B_{AILL.}$, in Korea, but S. chinensis $B_{AILL.}$ and S. sphenanthera $R_{EHD.}$ et $W_{ILS.}$ in China. Moreover, fruit of several other species in genus Schisandra also have been used as the same herbal medicines. To develop a reliable method for correct identification of Schisandrae Fructus and to evaluate the phylogenetic relationship of S. chinensis and its related species, we analyzed internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences of nuclear ribosomal DNA (nrDNA). Methods : Twenty-four plant samples of three Schisandra species and one Kadsura species, S. chinensis $B_{AILL.}$, S. spenanthera $R_{EHD.}$ et $W_{ILS.}$, S. nigra $M_{ax.}$ and Kadsura japonica $D_{UNAL}$ were collected from each different native habitate and farm in Korea and China. The nrDNA-ITS region of each samples were amplified using ITS1 and ITS4 primer and nucleotide sequences were determined after sub-cloning into the pGEM-Teasy vector. Authentic marker nucleotides were estimated by the analysis of ClastalW based on the entire nrDNA-ITS sequence. Results : In comparative analysis of the nrDNA-ITS sequences, we found specific nucleotide sequences including indels (insertions and deletions) and substitutions to distinguish C. chinensis, S. spenanthera, S. nigra, and K. japonica. These sequence differences at corresponding positions are avaliable nucleotide markers to determine the botanical origin of O-mi-ja. Moreover, we evaluated the phylogenetic relationship of four plant species by the analysis of nrDNA-ITS sequences. Conclusions : These marker nucleotides would be useful to identify the official herbal medicines by the providing of definitive information that can identify each plant species and distinguish it from unauthentic adulterants for O-mi-ja.

한국산 물통이(Pilea)속 식물의 분자계통학적 연구를 통해서 총 1속 5분류군으로 정리하였다. 물통이속은 모두 1년생 초본으로, 그늘지고 습기가 있는 지역에서 서식하며, 여름에 꽃이 피고, 가을에 열매를 맺는다. nrDNA의 ITS regions과 cpDNA의 psbA-trnH regions의 DNA 염기서열의 분석 결과, 산물통이, 물통이는 분계조를 각각 형성하였다. 하지만 제주 산방산의 제주큰물통이는 내륙지역의 지리산에서 자생하는 제주큰물통이와 같은 분계조를 형성하지 못하고 큰물통이, 모시물통이와 섞여 분계조를 형성하였다. ITS1, 4 regions에서만 DNA 염기서열이 분석된 지리산의 제주큰물통이 역시 완전히 다른 분계조를 형성하였다. 단순히 지리적인 차이로 인해 형성되었다고 보기에 무리가 있을 것으로 생각되어지며, 후에 좀 더 많은 연구가 이루어져야 할 것으로 생각되어진다.
