The anatomy of Korean diffuse-porous woods, 36 families, 75 genera, 145 species, 215 specimens was described and analyzed. Sixteen wood anatomical characters, habit and phenology factors were determined by simple correlation and principal component analysis. Strong positive correlations were found between vessel element length and fiber length, ray width and ray height, simple pits of fiber wall and paratracheal parenchyma distribution. The results of principal component analysis (PCA) disclose the primitive characteristics and the direction of xylem evolution of Korean diffuse-porous woods. The xylem evolution scenario for Korean dicotyledonous woods is considered to be developed in the direction of decreasing trends of vessel frequency, vessel element length, and length/diameter(L/D) ratio of vessel element but increasing trends of vessel diameter, fiber length/vessel element length(F/V) ratio, libriform wood fibers, simple perforation, and homogeneous ray composition. Increase of vessel diameter and decrease of vessel frequency seem to be related to the improvement of conductive efficiency, and increase of the vessel element length and occurrence of scalariform perforation in vessel element may be related to enhanced of conductive safety. Also the libriform wood fibers and ray features appear to have relationship with mechanical support and nutrient metabolism, respectively.

강원도 양양 지역 산불 피해 소나무 목재의 피해 정도에 따른 해부 및 물리적 특성을 조사하였다. 피해 정도에 따라 수피의 탄화 깊이가 깊어지는 경향이 관찰되었으나 목질부까지 탄화가 진행되지는 않았으며 수지의 삼출정도에 차이를 보였다. 산불 피해목 변재의 생재함수율은 건전재보다 다소 낮게 나타났으나 심재의 경우에는 건전재보다 피해목이 다소 높게 나타났다. 생재밀도는 피해재 심재가 건전재 심재보다 다소 높게 나타났으며, 변재에서는 차이를 보이지 않았다. 형성층대를 관찰한 결과, 산불 피해를 강하게 입은 경우 형성층의 활동이 일어나지 않았고, 비교적 피해를 약하게 입은 경우에는 형성층의 활동이 관찰되었으나 세포분열 속도는 건전재보다 느렸다. 산불 피해를 강하게 입은 목재에서는 에피델리움세포와 방사조직의 세포벽이 짙게 염색되고 세포내에 과립형태의 물질이 관찰되었으며, 최외각 연륜 부위의 결정화도는 산불 피해재가 건전재보다 다소 높게 나타났다.

Twigs bearing floral buds of Rhododendron yedoense var. poukhanense(Ryp) and R. sinmsii(Rs), hardy species in Korea, were used to investigate the cold hardiness in relation to the developmental and anatomical characteristics, and the changes of water content. In floral buds of both species, the reproductive organs, pistils and stamens, matured within the bud scales in early ctober to prepare for a cold acclimation. The ray parenchymatous areas occupied in xylem were 41% in Ryp and 38% Rs. As the storage temperature is raised from 2 to 17$^{\circ}C$, water content increased more highly in Rs than in Ryp. Exotherm temperature of floral bud in Ryp was generally lower than that in Rs. The result supports that the higher cold-hardiness is achieved owing to the earlier maturation of floral buds, to the larger area of ray parenchyma in xylem, and to the lesser increase of water content as the storage temperature is raised.

In this report, we describe the anatomical features of Gmelina arborea Roxb. belong to the genera of Verbenaceae native to Bangladesh and safranine penetration depth in radial and longitudinal directions. The wood of this species was characterized mostly by distinct growth ring boundaries, diffuse-porous, simple perforations, alternate non-vestured intervessel pits, and relatively short vessel elements and medium fibers. Thin to thick walled septate fibers with simple to minutely bordered pits are confined to the radial walls. Tyloses are common. They are paratracheal axial parenchyma vascicnetric and confluent. Rays not higher than 1milimeter are found, and larger rays commonly 4 to 5 seriate are dominantly present, as are multi seriate rays composed of a procumbent ray with 1 row of square or upright cells. Acicular crystals are present in ray cells. Another experiment was taken under consideration to observe the liquid penetration depth in longitudinal and radial directions using safranine. It was found that safranine penetrated easily in longitudinal direction and sapwood was more permeable than heartwood.

This study was carried out to elucidate the relationship between wood anatomy and the water flow path in P. koraiensis and L. leptolepis. through the experiment of penetration of the dye solution. The experiment was performed by permeating 1% acid, alkali and direct solution into the xylem just after being cut. The results obtained were summarized as follows : 1. In P. koraiensis and L. leptolepis, the dye solution penetrated into sapwood and annual rings adjacent to cambial zone were only dyed according to ascent of tree height. 2. The penetrability of latewood was better than that of earlywood. 3. In P. koraiensis and L. leptolepis, the main water flow path in longitudinal direction was the trachied and that in transverse direction was ray trachied and ray parenchyma. Also, the dye solution was found in resin canal. 4. P. koraiensis was more permeable than L. leptolepis. 5. Among the acid, alkali and direct dye solution, the acid dye solution was the most permeable.

Anatomical comparison of 3 North American species with commercial name of redcedar was executed to provide taxonomic information for prevention of confusion and establishment of sound business transaction in the wood market. Eastern redcedar (Juniperus virginiana) and southern redcedar (Juniperus silicicola) could not be separated on the basis of microstructure and ultrastructure of wood. Western redcedar (Thuja plicata), however, appeared to be obviously separated from eastern and southern redcedar in a number of microscopic and ultramicroscopic features. Useful features for separating these two groups were intercellular spaces in transverse surface, latewood width, radial intertracheid pitting, warty layer and pits with torus extensions in tracheids, ray composition, nodular end walls in ray parenchyma cells, and cross-field pitting.

This report describes the wood anatomy and 1% safranine solution penetration depth in radial and longitudinal directions of Anthocephalus chinensis belonging to the family Rubiaceae native to Bangladesh. The wood of this species was mostly characterized by diffuse porous, vessel with simple perforation plate, vestured alternate intervessel pittings, relatively medium vessel elements and fiber, and nonseptate fiber with distinctly bordered pits at radial wall. The body ray cell was procumbent with 2 to over 4 rows of upright and square marginal cells. Sometimes, the rays with procumbent, square and upright cells were mixed. Latewood fiber was thin to thick walled while it was very thin walled in earlywood. Axial parenchyma was diffuse, vasicentric, 5-8 cells per parenchyma strand dominantly present. Liquid penetration depth was observed in radial and longitudinal directions at moisture level of 7.42%. Longitudinal penetration was found 6.3 times higher than radial penetration. The initial penetration rate of safranine solution was high, but gradually decreased during the course of time. Different anatomical features were found to be responsible for the variation of safranine solution penetration depth compared to Gmelina arborea.

Pulmonary cavity is the result of necrosis of lung parenchyma with evacuation of the necrotic material via the tracheobronchial tree. A communication with the tracheobronchial tree permits air to enter the area of necrosis, so the radiologic result show the a lucent defect. The radiologic characteristics of the wall of a cavity are determined by the reaction of the lung parenchyma to the pathologic process. Therefore, the shadows of the chest films in cavitary lesion were variable in its nature. The author, in 42 cases which have a cavitary lesion in X-ray findings among 172 cases resected lung obtained in P.N.U.H. from 1979 to June, 1985, studied similarities and differences between the pathogenesis of these lesions and the radiologic findings. The author reviewed the 42 cavitary lesions and the following results were obtained. 1. The cavitary lesions were seen in 42 [24.4%] out of 172 cases of resected lung disease. 2. Histopathologically, pulmonary tuberculosis was 47.6% and primary lung cancer was 9.5%. 3. The most common site of the lesion was right upper lobe. 4. The most common size of the cavity was from 3 to 6 cm in diameter. 5. Lobectomy was the most common operated method.
