Mulberry leaf roller, Diaphania pulverulentalis (Hampson), is a major pest of mulberry, Morus alba. The life table construction from present investigation reveals the age specific survival $(1_{x)}$ and the age specific fecundity $(m_{x})$ of the pest. The female contributed the highest egg production $(m_{x} ＝ 12.75)4 in the life cycle on the $27^{th}$ day and the lowest $(m_{x} = 0.8)$ on the 37$^{th}$ day of the pivotal age. The female progeny production was observed to be intensive for the first six days after the preoviposition period, beyond which it declines steadily, The fecundity of D. pulverulentalis varies between 60-140. The first female mortality within the cohort occurred 4 days after the adult emergence and mortality increased thereafter, One generation is completed in 33.08 days. The female dominated sex ratio (1: 7.18 days) was recorded.

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is generally considered a childhood disease that exhibits various nonspecific clinical and radiological manifestations that mimic infection or malignancy. Here, we present a case of LCH involving the rib in an adult patient. CT and MRI revealed an expansile lytic lesion with periosteal reaction on the left 8th rib, suggesting a malignant bone tumor. Surgical resection was performed and histopathological examination was consistent with LCH. Owing to its rare occurrence in adults and nonspecific aggressive features, LCH should be included in the differential diagnosis of an aggressive-appearing rib lesion in both adults and children.

The authors made a clinical study of 107 cases of empyema who were treated at Department of Thoracic Surgery of Chungnam National University Hospital during the period of Jan. 1976 through Aug. 1982 and compared the empyema of infant and children with that of adults. Following was the remits: 1. Male was predominant to female with the ratio of 2.5 to 1 and adult to infant was 2.6 to 1. 2. The cardinal symptoms were dyspnea, coughing, chest pain and fever. 3. Positive remit of bacteriological culture study was reported in 57% and the most common causative organism was staphylococcus in infant and childhood, E. coil in adult. 4. Most frequent predisposing factors of thoracic empyema in infant and childhood was pneumonia [53%], and in adult was pulmonary tuberculosis [40%]. 5. Treatment were combined with antibiotics therapy and several surgical procedures for empyema. 24 cases [22.4%] required open thoracotomy. 6. The mortality rate was 7.4% [8/107]. 86 cases [80.4%] were discharged with recovery and improvement.

A 3-yr-old female mongrel dog was referred to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of Chungnam National University in the Republic of Korea. An adult heartworm, Dirofilaria immitis, was found in the abdominal cavity of the dog during spaying. Dirofilariasis in this dog was also diagnosed by modified Knott's test, ELISA test, and PCR analysis. The present case is the first report on the migration of an adult dog heartworm to the abdominal cavity of a dog in the Republic of Korea.

Tetrastichus sp.는 미국흰불나방의 번데기 기생벌로서, 1개의 숙주에 여러마리의 자손을 번식하는 집단 기생벌이며, 일년에 여러 세대 발생한다. 작잠, 신생아용 분유, 난황, 로얄젤리 등을 주요성분으로 기생벌의 인공먹이를 조성하였으며, polypropylene필름으로 번데기형태를 만들어 인공숙주로 사용하였다. 인공숙주에서 발육한 기생벌은 자연숙주에서 자란 기생벌보다는 크기가 작았으나, 계대 사육으로 번식 가능한 자손을 생산하였다. 인공숙주에서 발육한 in vitro 2세대의 생물학적 특성은 in vitro 1세대보다 훨씬 개선 었다. 평균 자손 수, 산란기간, 수명 등은 in vitro 에서 45.7,7.8, 13.8일 이었고 암컷 편중의 성비 76.9%를 나타내었다. 이러한 결과는 Tetrastichus sp.가 in vitro 대량사육에 적합한 기생벌임을 보여준다.

점박이응애(Tetranychus urticae Koch)의 감수성계통(S)과 dicofol 저항성계통(R)을 공시하여 dicofol저항성의 안정성을 조사하였다. Dicofol 저항성계통(저항성비 23.0)의 약제도태없는 조건하에서 사육된 암컷성충의 dicofol에 대한 저항성 수준은 1년이 경과된 후에도 변화가 없었다. 그러나 1년 이후부터는 감소하기 시작하여 2년째에는 저항성비가 15.8배, 3년째에는 10.7배로 감수성쪽으로 기울었다. 점박이응애의 dicofol 저항성계통과 감수서계통의 상호교배 $(R_{female}\timesS_{male},R_{male}\times S_{female})$에서 얻어진 세대별 약제 감수성도 세대가 경과됨에 따라 감수성쪽으로 기울었다.

Objectives : Osteoporosis is the most common metabolic disease of the bone, and one of the most important public health problems around the world. Obesity rate gradually increases as women grow older. The purpose of the study was to investigate the changes between bond mineral density(BMD) and body mass index(BMI) according to sex and age. Methods : We measured the bone mineral density(BMD) of lumber spine(L2-L4) and femoral neck in 10000 normal adult, using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA; DPX-alpha). and also measured the body mass index(BMI) in 9810 normal adult. then we analysed the changes of BMD and BMI according to sex and age. Results : 1. As getting older, male's T-score of lumbar spine(L2-L4) was slowly decreased. On the other hand, female's T-score of lumbar spine was sharply dropped after 46 years old. 2. As getting older, male's T-score of femoral was slowly decreased. On the other hand, female's T-score of femoral was sharply dropped after 49 years old. 3. Irrespective of age, male's BMI keep up the extent within a definite period of numerical value. As getting older, female's BMI continued its upward trend. Conclusions : Much more attention should be needed for female patient suffering from osteoporosis and obesity than male.
