Two species of the chloroperlid stonefly, Alloperla medlata and Sweltsa illiesi, are reported for the first time in Korea. Alloperla mediata can be distinguished by the smaller epiproct and the presence of a median sclerite under epiproct in male, and by the modified subgenital plate in female. Sweltsa illiesi can be distinguished by the presence of a pair of ridges on tergum 9 in male and upward V-shaped pattern on the center of head in adults. The line drawings of diagnostic characters and taxonomic remarks of the two species are provided with keys and comparative characters for adults of Korean Chloroperlidae.

These experiments were carried out to develop new techniques identifying XX-bearing embryos prior to implantation by immunological method. Antiserum to histocompatibility-Y(H-Y) antigen was prepared in adult SD(sprague-dawley) female rat by repeated immunization of newbone testis supernatant from males of the same strain. ELISA test was used to identify the H-Y antibody of antiserum. Total 124 mouse embryos (8-cell stage) were treated with H-Y antiserum and complement in BSA free Ho, pp. and Pitt's medium and cultured under the gas phase of 5% CO2 in air at 37$^{\circ}C$ for 24 to 48 hrs. The morphological characteristics of embryos treated were observed under the phase-contrast micro scope. The results obtained in these experiments were summarized as follows: 1. Optimal Density of H-Y antibody were a, pp.ared to be 0.27-0.47 by ELISA test. 2. Of total 124 embryos treated with H-Y antiserum and complement 69(55.6%) embryos developed to blastocyst and 55(44.4%) destroyed or arrested.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between physical fitness, and physical and psychological stress of females. The subjects of this study were 139 adult women, without a specific medical illness. The stress level was evaluated by Derogetis's checklist-90-Revision symptom of physical and psychological stress (Cronbach's a=0.88, 0.87). The physical fitness factors in this study were cardiopulmonary endurance, muscle endurance, muscle strength, power, agility, and flexibility. To analyze the data to examine the relationship between the physical and psychological stress, and physical fitness, correlation analysis was applied. The findings of this study were as follows. First, among the physical fitness factors, cardiopulmonary endurance, along with muscle strength and power had significant relations with physical stress (p<.01). Second, among the physical fitness factors, cardiopulmonary endurance showed a significant relation with psychological stress (p<.05).

Background: To investigate the effect of various intervention application on idiopathic scoliosis patient. Methods: One 20-years-old female subject underwent various intervention 3 times per week for 7 weeks. Modality physical therapy, muscle energy technique, combined pelvic tilt exercise and self exercise was performed for 50minutes. Degree of pain, axial trunk rotation, Cobb's angle, kyphotic angle, lumbar lordotic angle, and sacral angle were measured. Results: The subject decreased in degree of pan, axial trunk rotation, Cobb's angle, thoracic kyphotic angle, lumbar lordotic angle and sacral angle. Conclusions: The various interventions for scoliosis patients are effective in the pain and the improvement of angle on radiograph. However, any method is difficult to determine effective interventions.

Trichofolliculoma (TF) is a follicular hamartoma in which hairs protruding out of single orifice. To the best of my knowledge, only two auricular TF has been reported in the English literature. Moreover, clinically TF have been described to mimic malignancy. I present a case of an adult female with mass at the intertragal notch of the left auricle for several years. The clinical diagnosis was thought to be epidermoid cyst, accessory tragus, and other benign skin adnexal tumor. To prevent recurrence, the wide local excision of the mass was performed. The final diagnosis of TF was made. No recurrence was noted during the follow-up of 1 year. It is important for otologists to be familiar with the clinical and pathologic characterization of TF, to make the correct diagnosis.

In red seabream, Pagrus major the female specific protein in the vitellogenic female serum was identified by Ouchterlony's immunodiffusion test and immunoelectrophoresis. The female specific serum protein might be vitellogenin based on the results of the immunological analysis for the male and vitellogenic female sera and crude egg extracts. Also, it was identified by the immunodiffusion test that the purified yolk protein from ovarian egg extracts has antigenic identities shared with the female specific serum protein. To study the relationship between the maturational stages of gonad and plasma levels of vitellogenin, these were measured from the late resting period (January) to the vitellogenic preiod (April) by the modified enzymeimmunoassay (EIA) using antiserum against yolk protein. The level of plasma vitellogenin began to increase in February (previtellogenesis stage) and continuously increased with the ovarian growth during the vitellogenesis period (March to April). The plasma vitellogenin levels were significantly different between the females and the males in February. Validation for the modified EIA system. was tested .The absorbance curve of serial dilutions of serum from the vitellogenic female was paralleled to the standard curve of yolk protein; $109\pm5.6\%$ recovery was achieved by the modified EIA. And the intraassay coefficients of variation were less than 10% within the concentration ranging from 31.3 ng/ml to 1,000 ng/ml. These findings suggest that the sex determination in adult red seabreams could be possible by using the modified EIA as early as in February.

The purpose of this study is to explore further understanding of variables, besides father's alcoholism, which relates to psychosocial adjustment among ADAF(adult daughters of alcoholic fathers). This study examines the relationship between father's alcoholism, family functioning, parental attachment and the psychosocial adjustment among the ADAF. From a larger sample of 463 female college students, 160 ADAF and a matched group of non-ADAF were identified to participate in the study. This survey was conducted in Seoul and Gyungi-do area. Participants completed self-report questionnaires, "The Korean Version of Children of Alcoholics Screening Test", "Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment", "Satisfaction With Life Scale", "Self-esteem", "Beck Depression Inventory" and "Family Environment Scale". Path analyses was used to test the research question. Findings indicated that father's alcoholism had no direct effect on both the psychosocial adjustment of the ADAF and the family functioning. But father's alcoholism was significantly related to parental attachment. Family functioning was significant predictor of attachment to parents as well as psychosocial adjustment. Finally family functioning is important cause for parental attachment and psychosocial adjustment, specifically self-esteem and life satisfaction outcomes only. Therefore parental attachment was function as a mediator in the relationship between family functioning and psychosocial adjustment. In conclusion, this study showed that father's alcoholism did not predict outcome. We need to reconsider the assumption that direct link exists between adult adjustment difficulties and the presence of father's alcoholism. Implications for clinical and theoretical work with ADAF are discussed.

This study was conducted to determine the effect of temperatures, 24"C, 28$^{\circ}$C and 32"C,and food sources on pupal development, adult longevity and oviposition of tobacco cutworm, Spodopteralitura Fabricius. Percent pupation of S. litura was became higher at higher temperature from 23% to 88%.And its percent pupation was highest on soybean leaf (SL), followed by perilla leaf (PL), sweet potato leaf(SPL) and artificial diet (AD). Pupal weight ranged from 0.28g on SPL to 0.40 g on PL and was tended toheavier with decreasing temperature. The mean pupal duration was 14, 10 and 7 days at 24"C, 28$^{\circ}$C and32"C, respectively. Percent emergence was in range of 21% to 89% with higher percent emergence as thetemperature increased and both 28$^{\circ}$C and 24$^{\circ}$C was highest on SL, followed by PL, SPL and AD, but at24$^{\circ}$C the order was SPL, PL, SL and then AD. Preoviposition duration was 3.2 days at 24"C, 2.8 days at28$^{\circ}$C and 2.5 days at 32$^{\circ}$C. Adult longevity became shorter as the temperature increased from 6.4 to 3.9days. Male longevity was longer than that of female. Adults lived longest when they were reared on PL,followed by SL, SPL and AD. Total number of eggs laid per female varied from 803 to 1,441 regardlessof the treatments, but those were significantly more on natural foods than on AD. Number of eggs per eggmass was 97.4 at 24$^{\circ}$C 155.8 at 28$^{\circ}$C and 104.7 at 32$^{\circ}$C. Number of egg mass was 12.0, 6.7 and 11.3 at24"C, 28$^{\circ}$C and 32"C, respectively.4"C, 28$^{\circ}$C and 32"C, respectively.
