The moon bear lived in Sulak Mt. and Gili Mt. in 1949. It was reported that one bear was captured in sulak Mt. in December 19571 and the last one was killed by poacher in Sulak Mt. in May 22. 1983. Currentlyi the number of bear are decreased sharply so that Korean government designated them as their 329th natural monument in November 4. 1982. In September 2. 1997. the administration of cultural monument applied for the blood sample of bear to detection for poaching. We collected blood sample to 5 bears which are Moon bear, Malayan sun beard American black bears Ezo brown beard European brown bear. Before blood collectingl we injected to bear with Ketamine hydrochloride and Xylazine hydrochloride (10:2) to anaesthetize.

과거 한국에는 반달가슴곰이 많은 개체수가 서식하였다. 하지만 일제강점기와 한국전쟁을 거치면서 반달가슴곰의 개체수가 급격하게 감소하였으며, 산업화, 서식지 파괴, 밀렵으로 인해 절멸 상태에 이르렀다. 2000년대 초반 지리산국립공원에서 극소수의 개체가 활동하는 것이 확인되었고, 이에 환경부에서는 절멸 위험에 처해 있는 생물종에 대한 복원과 생태계 건강성 회복을 위해 지리산 반달가슴곰 복원프로젝트를 추진하였다. 외부로부터 한반도에 서식하는 반달가슴곰과 동일한 아종을 도입 방사한지 14년이 흐른 2017년에 지리산에서 약 80 km 떨어진 수도산에서 반달가슴곰이 발견되었다. 유전자 분석결과 과거 지리산에서 방사했었던 3년생 반달가슴곰으로 분석되었으며 이는 지리산에서 반달가슴곰 복원사업을 추진한 이후 가장 멀리서 이동한 사례이다. 이후 지리산에서 2회 재방사를 하여 다시 수도산으로 이동하려는 움직임을 보였으며, 일반적으로 지리산에서 활동하는 반달가슴곰에 비해 많은 이동거리와 행동권을 나타냈다. 수도산에서 3번째 방사 이후 안정적인 이동 패턴과 서식영역을 띠고 있는 것으로 보이며, 이러한 사례 연구를 통해 지리산 반달가슴곰 집단의 서식지 확산과 이에 따른 광역적 관리 방안 마련에 필요한 자료를 제공하고자 하였다.

The objective of this study is to investigate the characteristics of the location and prospects of the bear shelves built by Asiatic black bears in the Jirisan National Park. Previous researchers have been analyzed bear shelves in terms of places for resting and eating, but we are going to analyze based on the prospect-and-refuge theory. Characteristics of the sites of bear shelves are measured through field survey and topographic analysis by using digital elevation model (DEM). The normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) is used to evaluate the optimum location of bear shelves in terms of crown density. Man-made objects are identified by viewshed analysis based on geographical information system (GIS). Findings of this paper can be summarized as follows. First, most bear trees are located deep inside of the mountainous national park, slopes of 30~40 degrees, altitude of 400~1,200m, and relatively low vegetation density with NDVI value of 0.4~0.6 compared to the average NDVI of the park. Second, the average height of bear shelves is 12.44m, or 74% of the average height of bear trees. They are located at suitable places to observe nearby trails and other park facilities. Third, man-made objects within the 100m radius of bear trees include lodge, bear training center, beekeeping camp, and hiking trails. Thus we may temporarily conclude that one of the main criteria of the bear tree selection in the park has been to identify optimum places for the monitoring of human activities in their habitat.

The effect of bear bile on 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo- p-dioxin (TCDD)-induced hepatotoxicity was investigated in 6-week-old C57BL/6 male mice. Bear bile (100 mg/kg or 500 mg/kg) was administered orally daily for 4 weeks, respectively. From the second week, $10\;{\mu}g/kg$ of TCDD was administered to the bear bile-treated animals orally once a week for 3 weeks (a total of $30\;{\mu}g/kg$). There were no specific clinical findings and significant body weight changes in all groups. Although the livers in TCDD-treated mice appeared a severe hypertrophy and many necrotic foci, and changed to yellow-brown color in gross findings, these lesions were remarkably reduced by bear bile administration. The elevated serum activities of alanine transaminase, aspartate transaminase, alkaline phosphatase, and lactate dehydrogenase due to TCDD were significantly decreased by bear bile treatment (P<0.05). The lipid peroxidation induced by TCDD was significantly prevented by bear bile administration (P<0.05). In histological examinations, there were a moderate necrosis of hepatic cells around central veins, severe cytoplasmic vacuolizations, inflammatory cell infiltrations, and remarkable fatty changes in the liver of TCDD-treated animals. However, the lesions were dose-dependently inhibited by the bear bile treatments. These findings indicate that bear bile may have a protective effect against TCDD-induced hepatotoxicity in mice.

Pregnancy diagnosis by ultrasonography was performed for both pregnant and non-pregnant Asiatic black bears which were being under hibernation. Pregnancy was diagnosed for a pregnant bear by detecting images of heart-beat and vertebrae on ultrasonograph. Serum progesterone levels were measured for both pregnant and non-pregnant bears. The level of serum progesterone was 5.79 ng/ml for a pregnant bear and 0.76 ng/ml for a non-pregnant bear, respectively, thereby it was considered that measurement of serum progesterone level can be also useful for pregnancy diagnosis for Asiatic black bear.

최근 전투에서 인명 손실을 최소화하기 위해 사람이 접근하기 어려운 지역에서 부상병을 구조해내는 로봇(Vecna Bear type robot)이 개발되고 있다. Vecna BEAR 형 로봇은 험한 지형을 주행하게 되므로 큰 진동 및 전복에 의해 부상자에게 충격을 가할 수 있다. 이러한 로봇의 안정성을 보장하기 위해서는 다양한 환경에 대해 주행 한계속도를 실시간으로 추정할 수 있는 알고리즘이 요구된다. 따라서 한계속 도추정 알고리즘을 수행하기 위하여 실시간 해석이 가능한 동역학 모델이 필요하다. Vecna BEAR 형 로봇의 구동부인 궤도는 실제로 많은 요소로 구성되어 있기 때문에 궤도의 다물체 동역학 모델에 의한 실시간 해석은 불가능하다. 그러므로 적은 해석량과 합당한 정확성을 만족하는 lumped 궤도 모델이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 lumped 궤도 모델링을 수행하였고, 다물체 동역학 상용 프로그램인 RecurDyn 을 이용하여 견인력을 검증하였다.

We hypothesize that bear's gall may have a certain role in anti-inflammation through a preventive effect of pro-inflammatory potentials. Secondly, we tried to connect the experimental results to Alzheimer's disease (AD), which chronic inflammation is a main cause of the disease. For this theme, we designed to elucidate the efficacy of bear's gall in suppressing the pro-inflammatory mediators, such as nitric oxide (NO) and $interleukin-1{\beta}\;(IL-1{\beta})$ in rat microglia. From the study, we concluded that bear's gall plays a positive role in suppressing such pro-inflammatory repertoire from rat microglia comparing to normal and positive control, such as culture media and cyclosporine. Interestingly, bear's gall showed a prolonged effect of anti-inflammation comparing with cyclosporine when time goes by up to 48h with a significant suppression at $1.2\;mg/m{\ell}$. Therefore, we can consider that bear's gall in part can be applied to AD therapy in that it suppresses the expression of pro-inflammatory mediators as well as its continued effect.

Objectives : This study was aimed at investigating liver protection mechanism of bear bile juice (Fel Ursi)by inducing liver toxicity through $CCl_4$ in mice and evaluated histological and serological findings. Methods : Experiment groups was categorized into untreated normal group, $CCl_4$ treated control group, and orally administered bear bile juice experiment group. At the termination of experiment, gross examination of the liver as well as histological findings, and Total protein, Albumin, Total bilirubin, Direct bilirubin SGOT, SGPT, and ALP contents in the serum were evaluated. Results : 1. For gross examination and histological findings, $CCI_4$ treated control group showed destroyed lobular structure, increased fibrosis, as well as hepatic cirrhosis. For the group treated with bear bile juice, the lobular structure suffered less damage, and showed lower level of fibrosis and liver cirrhosis compared to the control group. 2. For serum analysis, Total protein and Albumin were significantly increased in the bear bile juice experiment group than the control group. Total bilirubin and Direct bilirubin didn't show significant differences between the two groups. SOOT, SGPT, and ALP were significantly decreased in the normal and bear bile juice experiment groups compared to the control group. Conclusion : Taken together, bear bile juice can be effectively used for recovering the liver functions and further researches must be conducted to verify the efficacies of bear bile juice.

Recently the countries breeding bears such as China and Vietnam are promoting a policy that gives relief to wild animals through agreement with AAF and WSPA. Currently our country has lacking breeding space for the increased number of bred bears due to the prohibition of bear import and export from joining the CITES in 1992. There needs to be a place that treats, protects accepts breed bears in the terms of animal welfare. The bear park was hoped to be designed as a means to give relief to bears and promote harmony with the local society, and is made of parking area, waiting area, visitors center, treatment research management facilities, restaurants, food warehouse, food store, bear museum, sanitation facilities, gondola, plaza, rehabilitation area for wild animals, outdoor exhibition center, direct indirect experience area of wild animals, resting facilities and areas, photo zones, bear playground, bear experiencing facilities, fences, information facilities, tree protection facilities and more. The design can be used as a reference in examining alternative measures following the future change in breeding policy as a bear park example which reflected the ecology of a bear in the term of animal welfare.
