The Japan National Committee for the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) and UICC-Asia Regional Office (ARO) organized a Roundtable Discussion as part of the official program of the UICC World Cancer Congress 2014 in Melbourne, Australia. The theme for the Roundtable Discussion was "Looking Toward the Realization of Universal Health Care 'UHC' for Cancer in Asia" and it was held on December 5, 2014. The meeting was held based on the recognition that although each country may take a different path towards the realization of UHC, one point that is common to all is that cancer is projected to be the most difficult disease to address under the goals of UHC and that there is, therefore, an urgent and pressing need to come to a common understanding and awareness with regard to UHC concepts that are a priority component of a post-MDG development agenda. The presenters and participants addressed the issue of UHC for cancer in Asia from their various perspectives in academia and international organizations. Discussions covered the challenges to UHC in Asia, collaborative approaches by international organizations, the need for uniform and relevant data, ways to create an Asia Cancer Barometer that could be applied to all countries in Asia. The session concluded with the recognition that research on UHC in Asia should continue to be used as a tool for cancer cooperation in Asia and that the achievement of UHC would require research and input not only from the medical community, but from a broad sector of society in a multidisciplinary approach. Discussions on this issue will continue towards the Asia-Pacific Cancer Conference in Indonesia in August 2015.

The study was conducted to compare the effects of different agro-wastes on the growth, yield, and nutritional composition of oyster mushrooms Pleurotus ostreatus (PO) and Pleurotus cystidiosus (PC). Seven substrate formulas including sawdust (SD), corncob (CC), sugarcane bagasse (SB) alone and in combination of 80 : 20, 50 : 50 ratio between SD and CC, SD and SB were investigated. The results indicated that different substrate formulas gave a significant difference in total colonization period, characteristics of fruiting bodies, yield, biological efficiency (BE), nutritional composition and mineral contents of two oyster mushrooms PO and PC. The results showed that increasing CC and SB reduced C/N ratio, and enhanced some mineral contents (Ca, P, and Mg) of substrate formulas. The increased amount of CC and SB of substrate formulas enhanced protein, ash, mineral contents (Ca, K, Mg, Mn, and Zn) of fruiting bodies of both mushrooms. Substrates with 100% CC and 100% SB were the most suitable substrate formulas for cultivation of oyster mushrooms PO and PC in which they gave the highest values of cap diameter, stipe thickness, mushroom weight, yield, BE, protein, fiber, ash, mineral content (Ca, K, and Mg) and short stipe length. However, substrate formula 100% CC gave the slowest time for the first harvest of both mushrooms PO and PC (46.02 days and 64.24 days, respectively). It is also found that the C/N ratio of substrate formulas has close correlation with total colonization period, mushroom weight, yield, BE and protein content of mushroom PO and PC.

본 연구는 선박평형수처리시스템(BWMS) 형식승인을 위한 국제해사기구(IMO)와 미국해양경찰(USCG)의 시험방법 중 차이가 큰 식물플랑크톤의 전처리 방법을 비교하기 위해 배양종, 자연종, 그리고 BWMS의 육상시험에서 채취한 식물플랑크톤 샘플을 이용해 농축과 비농축에 대한 비교시험을 수행했다. 배양종과 자연종의 비교 시험은 농축하는 과정에서 네트 손실 및 손상이 있는 것으로 확인되었으며, 이는 대상종의 생리·형태적 특성에 따라 차이가 있음을 확인했다. BWMS 육상시험에서 생물 농도가 높은 대조수의 경우 비농축한 시료 개체수가 농축한 시료보다 2배 정도 높은 값을 보였고, 생물 개체수가 낮은 처리수는 두 방법 간의 뚜렷한 차이가 없었다. 이러한 결과는 미국형식승인 방법으로 육상시험을 수행하면 시험수 조건이 더 가혹하다는 것을 의미한다. 결과적으로 식물플랑크톤 샘플링 과정에서 농축과 비농축의 차이가 있음에도 불구하고, 농축 방법이 BWMS 성능을 평가하는 방법으로 적용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 하지만 처리수 내에서 살아있는 종이 샘플링의 농축 과정에서 네트 손실 및 손상이 있을 수 있기 때문에 대상종에 대한 평가방법을 개발할 필요성이 있다.

The objective of this study was to develop a management strategy for the recovery of carbon storage capacity of abandoned coal mine forest rehabilitation area. For the purpose, the biomass and stand carbon storage over time after the forest rehabilitation by tree type for Betula platyphylla, Pinus densiflora, and Alnus hirsuta trees which are major tree species widely planted for the forest rehabilitation in the abandoned coal mine were calculated, and compared them with general forest. The carbon storage in abandoned coal mine forest rehabilitation areas was lower than that in general forests, and based on tree species, Pinus densiflora stored 48.9%, Alnus hirsuta 41.1%, and Betula platyphylla 27.0%. This low carbon storage is thought to be caused by poor growth because soil chemical properties, such as low TOC and total nitrogen content, in the soil of abandoned coal mine forest rehabilitation areas, were adverse to vegetation growth compared to those in general forests. DBH, stand biomass, and stand carbon storage tended to increase after forest rehabilitation over time, whereas stand density decreased. Stand' biomass and carbon storage increased as DBH and stand density increased, but there was a negative correlation between stand density and DBH. Therefore, after forest rehabilitation, growth status should be monitored, an appropriate growth space for trees should be maintained by thinning and pruning, and the soil chemical properties such as fertilization must be managed. It is expected that the carbon storage capacity the forest rehabilitation area could be restored to a level similar to that of general forests.

본 논문의 제목은 「달, 화성 및 기타천체에 있는 자원채굴을 위한 새로운 국제 우주기구의 설립제안」이다. 새로운 국제우주기구 (가칭: 이하 ISA이라고 호층 함)를 만들겠다는 아이디어는 본인의 학문적이며 실용적인 의견의 제시이다. 달과 화성 및 다른 우주천체에 있는 천연자원을 효율적이고 빠르게 개발하기 위해서는 국제기구로서 ISA의 설립이 필요하다. 이 새로운 국제우주기구인 ISA를 설립하는데 필요로 하는 법적이 근거는 1979 년의 달협약 제11조, 제5항 및 제18조에 근거를 두고 있다. ISA를 설립시키기 위한 절차로 우선 우주조약에 가입한 우주선진국들간에 논의를 거쳐 ISA 설립에 관한 조약초안을 마련하는데 있다. 이 논문에서 본인은 우주법에 관한 미국, 룩셈부르크, 유럽우주기구, 중국, 일본, 한국의 국내입법례와 달, 화성, 소행성, 금성, 목성, 토성, 타이탄별 등의 우주탐험과 앞으로의 개발계획 등을 살펴 보았다. ISA의 창설은 선진국들간에 우주탐험과 개발에 관한 협력사업을 추진하는데 있어 꼭 필요하고 또한 각국들 간에 국제협력이 증진됨으로 달과 화성, 기타천체에 있는 자원개발에 촉매적인 역활을 하게된다. 한편 우주선진국들은 우주자원의 탐험과 개발에 관한 기술확보, 우주 인력의 양성과 우주에 관련된 금융 등을 ISA를 통하여 중앙집중적으로, 능율적으로 관리할 수 있게 된다. 향후 우주 선진국들 간에 우주탐험과 개발에 관한 정책수립과 법율의 마련, 우주과학기술의 연구와 우주산업의 발전면에 국제협력이 절대로 필요함으로 ISA의 창설이 바람직하다고 본다. 우리가 「유럽우주기구 (ESA)의 설치에 관한 협약」을 참고하여 「국제우주기구의 설치에 관한 조약 초안」을 마련하는 것이 필요하다고 본다. 이 「국제우주기구의 설치에 관한 조약 초안」은 유엔의 우주평화적이용위원회 (UNCOPUOS)의 외교회의에서 3 분의 2의 찬성으로 위의 「조약 초안」을 통과시키는 것이 바람직하다. 마지막으로, 매우 중요한 점은 최고 수준의 정치적 추진력이 필요로 하는데 국제 연합을 포함한 우주선진국들의 수장들이 중·장기적인 우주개발 목표달성을 위해 ISA설립을 찬성한다는 엄숙한 공동성명을 발표하는 것이 매우 중요하다고 본다. 우주선진국들간에 우주산업을 더욱 발전시키고 국제협력관계를 증진시키고 새로운 이데올로기와 창조적인 아이디어를 기반으로 우주선진국들 간의 연구협력을 촉진시키기 위해 ISA를 설립시키는 것이 꼭 필요하다. 가까운 장래에 유엔을 포함한 우주선진국들의 정상들이 모이는 정상회담에서 ISA를 설립시키기로 합의만 한다면 ISA는 반듯이 창설될 수 있다고 본인은 확신하는 바입니다.

The objectives of present study were to characterize the peptides which were isolated from Korean fermented soybean paste, chungkukjang, and to determine their antioxidant activities. Four fractions were collected from the methanol extract of chungkukjang by using a recycling preparative HPLC. Among fractions, Fr-2 was identified to be highly potent free radical scavenging activity in the assay of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) and nitroblue tetrazolium(NBT)-reduction inhibition. Base on antioxidant effects, fraction Fr-2 was employed for the refraction with a prep-column and separated into five fractions of which two fractions were identified to have higher antioxidant activity. To confirm the amino acid constituents of antioxidant fractions Fr-2-2 and Fr-2-3 were analyzed, and eight kinds of amino acids such as aspartic acid, threonine, serine, glutamic acid, glycine, lysine, histidine, and arginine were identified as the constituent amino acids. Antioxidant activities of the separated peptides were further assessed cell viability with 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl terazolium bromide (MTT), and fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis of H4IIE cells treated with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). Chungkukjang peptides have shown their ability to protect H4IIE rat hepatoma cells against H2O2- induced oxidative stress by concentration and time-dependent manner. Therefore, These results indicated that fermented soybean paste chungkukjang will be promoted the antioxidant and radical scavenging activities, and beneficial for health. The antioxidant peptide fractions Fr-2-2 and Fr-2-3 were denominated as P-NICS-1 and P-NICS-2, respectively. However, further studies were required to clarify their amino acid sequences and molecular properties, and physiological significances.

Seed color is controlled by several genes and is a key trait in determining the metabolite content and biological activities of legume genotypes. In this study, 296 adzuki bean accessions, including 159 grey, 99 red, and 38 white adzuki beans, were grown in Korea. Variations in total phenolic content (TPC), total saponin content (TSC), DPPH^• scavenging activity, ABTS^•+ scavenging activity, and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) were assessed and were reported to be in the ranges of 1.52-8.24 mg GAE/g, 14.36-114.22 mg DE/g, 0.23-12.84 mg AAE/g, 1.05-17.66 mg TE/g, and 0.59-13.14 mg AAE/g, respectively, with a wide variation across adzuki beans. Except for DPPH^• scavenging activity, the average values declined in the order gray > red > white adzuki beans, each demonstrating a significant variation (p < 0.05). White adzuki beans, which showed low metabolite content and antioxidant activity, were clearly separated from the gray and red genotypes using principal component and hierarchical cluster analyses. Moreover, TPC, TSC, and antioxidant activities were strongly correlated, regardless of seed color. Overall, the diversity of the TPC, TSC, and antioxidant activity in a broad population of adzuki bean genotypes was determined. Furthermore, this study found that seed color variation in adzuki beans had a significant effect on the metabolite content and antioxidant activity. Superior accessions with high levels of TPC, TSC, and antioxidant activity were also discovered and could be used for functional plant breeding and human consumption. The findings of this study may be useful for understanding the relationship between seed coat color and metabolite concentration in adzuki beans, paving the way for molecular-level analyses.

Sclerotinia rot, caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, is a devastating disease that poses a serious threat to perilla production in Korea. Identifying effective sources of resistance offers long term prospects for improving management of this disease. Screening disease resistant genetic resources is important for development of disease-resistant, new cultivars and conduct related research. In the present study, perilla germplasm were screened in vitro against S. sclerotiorum using detached leaf method. Among 544 perilla accessions, two were highly resistant (IT226504, IT226533), five were resistant (IT226561, IT226532, IT226526, IT226441, and IT226589), five were moderately resistant (IT226525, IT226640, IT226568, IT220624, and IT178655), 16 were moderately susceptible, 31 were susceptible, and 485 were highly susceptible. The resistant accessions in this study could serve as resistance donor in the breeding of Sclerotinia rot resistance or subjected to selection procedure of varietal development for direct use by breeders, farmers, researchers, and end consumers.

High-quality and high-phytonutrient watermelon fruits have strong market opportunities besides their health related benefits. Hence, investigating quality and nutritional related traits of watermelon genetic resources could provide important baseline data in breeding for increased lycopene content thereby increasing the marketability of watermelon. To this end, we have examined some fruit morphological traits and lycopene content of 105 genetic resources. The morphological characters were recorded on the field and inside laboratory and lycopene was measured using spectrophotometric and HPLC methods. Watermelon fruits have shown a diverse morphological characters. Red and pink fleshed fruits dominated in the entire collections. Fruits with higher thickness of rind were found to exhibit less soluble solid content (SSC). Korean origin fruits were characterized by intermediate SSC while USA, RUS, TJK, TKM, TWN, and URY originated fruits had the highest SSC. The lycopene content varied between 41.37 and 182.82 ㎍/g, 2.81 and 163.72 ㎍/g, and 3.54 and 255.47 ㎍/g using HPLC, UV-Vis, and microplate reader instrumnets, respectively. Red- and pink-fleshed fruits had the highest levels of lycopene content compared to the yellow- and orange-fleshed. Lycopene content had a significant positive correlation with SSC, however, no correlations were detected between lycopene and other quantitative fruit morphological characters.
