Three species of the families Viviparidae and Pleuroceridae, the first intermediate host of paragonimiasis, metagonimiasis and echinostomiasis were studied cytologically. The observed diploid chromosome number was as follows: Semisulcospira libertina 36, S. dolichostoma 34, and Viviparus rivularis 64. The mitotic chromosome complement of S. libertina has nine metacentric pairs and nine submetacentric pairs, and S. dolichostoma has three metacentric pairs and 14 submetacentric pairs of chromosomes. Viviparus rivularis showed two metacentric pairs and 30 submetacentric pairs of chromosomes.

Our objective was to clarify the cytogenetic characteristics, including karyotypes, cellular DNA content, and nuclear size of erythrocytes, of black plaice Pleuronectes obscurus, dotted gizzard shad Konosirus punctatus, and perch sculpin Pseudoblennius percoides, collected from the coastal areas of Jo Island, Busan, Korea. Karyotypes of P. obscurus and K. punctatus both had a diploid number of 48 and a fundamental number (FN) of 48, with a chromosome formula of 48T. The karyotype of p. percoides had a diploid number of 46 and FN of 56, with a chromosome formula of 10SM +36T. No sex-associated heteromorphic pairs were detected for any species. The variation in DNA values (P. obscurus=1.15 pg/nucleus, K. punctatus=1.56pg/nucleus, P. percoides=1.11 pg/nucleus) was positively related to variation in chromosome FN.

Cytogenetic features of three ascidian species were studied with specimens obtained from Korean coastal areas. The gonadal tissue was processed in order to obtain mitotic and meiotic chromosomes. The chromosome numbers of Amaroucium pliciferum turned out to be 2n=26 and n=l3 with 2sm, 3st, 8t and Halocynthia roretzi to be 2n=16 and n=8 with 6m, 2t. Diploid number of chromosomes in Dendrodoa aggregata was 64 with 32t. The karyotypes of these Korean ascidians were reported for the first time.

Present work was attempted to investigate the karyotype, the reciprocal translocation of chromosomes and the geographical distribution of three Paeonia species grown wild in Korea with the aim of elucidating the taxonomical affinities of the species. Prior to conducting these works, it was required to clarify the karyotypes of the cultivated varieties of P. albiflora which has been grown since long time ago in this coundtry for medicinal value. Present report is part of the series of karyotype studies now being extensively conducted using varieties (or lines) of P. albiflora collected across the country. Arm ratio, number of trabant, kind of trabant chromosomes and karyotype formula are different among the six cultivated varieties. Excepting one, five varieties used had invariably trabants on D and E chromosomes while no trabant was found in C chromosome.

A karyological study was carried out in order to compared the chromosome numbers, chromosome morphologies and karyotypes of the oriental liver fluke, Clonorchis sinensis (Trematoda: Opisthorchiidae), collected from Korea and China. Chromosome preparations were made by means of air-drying method. The chromosome number was 2n=56 in both Korean and Chinese flukes, and chromosomes were divided into two groups based on this size; consisting of 8 pairs of large and 20 pairs of small chromosomes. However, the karyotypes showed some differences between Korean and Chinese flukes. The karyotype of liver flukes from Korea consisted of three metacentric pairs, one meta-/submetacentric pair, 16 submetacentric pairs and eight subtelocentric pairs of chromosomes. On the other hand, liver flukes from China consisted of two metacentric pairs, two meta-/submetacentric pairs, 16 submetacentric pairs and eight subtelocentric pairs of chromosomes.

Eleocharis R. Br. (Cyperaceae) is characterized by unbranched culms, one terminal spikelet, bisexual flowers, and bristly perianths, occurring mainly in circumboreal marshes and wetlands. There are about 250 species worldwide, and 15 taxa in Korea have been recognized. Chromosomes in Cyperaceae are known to be holocentric, missing constricted centromeres during cell division. For the first time, we report the chromosome counts of Eleocharis from Korean populations of E. attenuata f. laeviseta (Nakai) H. Hara (2n = 20); E. parvula (Roem. & Schult.) Link ex Bluff, Nees & Schauer (2n = 10); E. ussuriensis Zinserl. (2n = 16); and E. valleculosa var. setosa Ohwi (2n = 16). The populations exhibit variations in their chromosome sizes from ca.1.7 ㎛ to ca. 6 ㎛, categorized as gradient and bimodal karyotypes. The karyotypes observed are congruent with previous phylogenetic groups proposed. To clarify the traditional and phylogenetic classification of Korean Eleocharis, further taxonomic and chromosomal investigations with additional taxon sampling efforts are required.

한국산 꾸구리속 (Gobiobotia) 어류인 꾸구리 (G. macrocephala), 돌상어 (G. brevibarba) 및 흰수마자 (G. nakdongensis)의 핵형을 조사하였다. 연구 결과, 각각 25쌍의 배수체 염색체가 관찰되었 다. 핵형은 꾸구리가 2n = 50 (9M+7SM+9ST), NF = 100, 염색체의 길이는 $3.3{\sim}7.5{\mu}m$ 크기였으며, 돌상어는 2n = 50 (10M+7SM+4ST+4T), NF = 92, 염색체의 길이는 $2.7{\sim}6.3{\mu}m$의 크기였고, 흰수마자는 2n = 50 (5M+9SM+9ST+2T), NF = 96, 염색체의 길이는 $3.5{\sim}7.3{\mu}m$였다. 본 연구결과 꾸구리와 흰수마자의 핵형은 처음으로 보고되었다.

Objectives: The present study aimed to examine the cytogenetic and genetic mutation features of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in elderly Chinese patients. Methods: A retrospective analysis of cytogenetics and genetic mutations was performed in 113 cases (age range 50-82 years) with de novo AML. Results: The most frequent cytogenetic abnormality was t (15;17) (q22;q21), detected in 10.0% (n = 9) of successfully analyzed cases, followed by t (8;21) (q22;q22) in 8.89% (n = 8), and complex karyotypes in 5.56% (n = 5). Those with complex karyotypes included 4 cases (4.44%) of monosomal karyotypes. The frequencies of NPM1, FLT3-ITD, c-kit, and CEBPA mutations were 27.4% (31/113), 14.5% (16/110), 5.88% (6/102), and 23.3% (7/30), respectively. The complete remission rates of patients in low, intermediate, and high risk groups were 37.5%, 48.6%, and 33.3%, respectively (${\chi}^2$ = 0.704, P = 0.703) based on risk stratification. Conclusion: Cytogenetics and genetic mutations alone may not be sufficient to evaluate the prognoses of elderly AML patients. The search for a novel model that would enable a more comprehensive evaluation of this population is therefore imperative.
