  • The division, distribution and migration of the macroglial cells in the juvenile mouse brain were investigated with the radioautography. Forty mice (ICR) were randomly subdivided into two groups. The twenty mice from group 1 were weighing initially 5 to 6g, aged 10 to 12 days and were sacrificied at 2 hrs, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 15 and 20 days after a single intraperitoneal injection of $^3H$-thymichine ($4{\mu}$ Ci/g of body weight). Twenty mice from group 2 were weighing intially 2.5 to 5g, aged 3 to 8 days and were sacrificed at 2 hrs, 2, 3, 5. 7, 10, 15 and 20 days after a single($4{\mu}$ Ci/g of body weight) and/or after intraperitoneal repeated injections($2{\mu}$ Ci/g of body weight/interval) at 2, 3 and 5 days after the first injection. The brain preparations were processed for autoradiogrouphy using Kodak NTB-3 emulsion following development in Kodak D-19, fixation in Kodak fixer, and then stained with cresyl echt violet or hematoxylin counterstain. The labeling index of the ectodermal glial cells in the subependymal layers of the lateral ventricles (SLLV), corpus callosum (CC), molecular layer of the neocortex (MLN ), inner layer except the molecular layer in the neocortex (ILN) and medulla of the cerebrum (MC) were invested. 1. Labeling cells appeared from 2 hour and some of them sustained in the 20 day after injection. In the single injection group, the peak of the labeling index reached a 7.6% at 3 day, 3.6% at 7 day, 3.3% at 2 day, 5.0% at 3 day and 2.3% at 2 day from the SLLV. CC, MLN, ILN and MC, respectively. In the repeated injecton group, the peak of the labeling index reached a 32.0 at 7 day, 11.0% at 10 day, 89% at 7 day, 16.0% at 10 day and 10.8% at 15 day from the SLLV, CC, MLN, ILM and MC, respectively. 2 The glial cells of the SLLV were recognized as to be migrated into the CC and to be not or less to be into the MC and ILN but to be not into the MLN. Glial cell aggregates in the neocotex and MC were recognized as to be proliferated and then disappeared in the itself regions.

  • Sea urchin S. intermedius occurring in the Korean east coast is a cold water species that belongs to the family Strongylocentrotidae of Echinoidea. Although it is known that there are nine species in the family, species identification criteria, phylogenetic relationships, time and process of evolution of the family members have not been uncovered clearly. In the present study, I tried to find some clues to such problems for S. intermedius by means of DNA sequences. For this, cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI), one of the mitochondrial genes that evolve fast and follow maternal inheritance was analyzed. DNA was extracted from the female gonad of S. intermedius, a segment of COI gene amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and finally a total of 1077 base pair sequence of COI obtained by cloning and sequencing the PCR product. The sequence was compared with homologous genes of other sea urchins and echinoderm species. Phylogenetic trees of the COI gene segment revealed that S. intenedius is a sister species of S. purpuratus which lives along the east coast of the Paciflc. With reference to the fossil records of sea urchins and genetic distances in the molecular phylogenies, it is estimated that the two species were separated about 0.89 million years ago when the earth temperature fluctuated significantly. The current disjunct distribution patterns of the two species and the climate change of the earth at the time of separation suggest that speciation might have occurred by vicariance. The COI gene sequence obtained here now can be used as a molecular character which discerns S. intermedius from the other sea urchin species of Strongylocentrotidae.

  • The fish skin gelatin hydrolysates were produced using a continuous two-stage membrane (MWCO 10,000, MWCO 5,000) reactor, and molecular weights, amino acids and functional properties of the hydrolysates were investigated. The major molecular weights distribution of the major fractions were $8{\sim}10\;KDa$ and $4.5{\sim}6.5\;KDa$ in the 1st-step hydrolysates, $2{\sim}6\;KDa$ and $0.5{\sim}2\;KDa$ in the 2nd-step hydrolysates. Among the amino acids in the hydrolysates, glycine, proline, serine, alanine, hydroxyproline, glutamic acid and aspartic acid having sweet taste were responsible for $68{\sim}72%$ of the total amino acids. But valine, methionine, isoleucine, leucine, phenylalanine and histidine having a bitter taste were only $23{\sim}25%$ Taste evaluations show that the gelatin hydrolysates have a brothy and sweet taste, 2nd-step hydrolysate have more a favorable taste than 1st-step hydrolysate. The hydrolysates were completely soluble and clear over the entire pH range. Moisture sorption at intermediate water activities of the 2nd-step hydrolysate was much higher than the unmodified fish skin gelatin, but foaming and emulsification properties were poor. Buffer capacity of the 2nd-step hydrolysate was higher than the fish skin gelatin and 1st-step hydrolysate, while viscosities of the hydrolysates were lower than the fish skin gelatin.

  • Four sites and one site were used to analyze fish diversity at the water systems of the Sineun reservoir and the Jeonchon reservoir, respectively. The field experiments were conducted to test the density dependence that could lead to population regulation by artificial inferences and environmental changes. We examined the effects of environmental factors on fish densities using SMATR freeware. It was estimated to be reduced to the density effect at four sites in 2012. Shannon-Weaver indices of the diversity (H’) of the Sineun reservoir were similar to those of the Jeonchon reservoir. Species diversity was in a range of 0.645 to 2.105. The H’ value of the upper region was higher than those of middle and low regions were, and values of richness were lower in downstream than upstream. Using the maximum likelihood solution for the removal estimators of two low regions of the river stations, the estimated migration probabilities from the resident fish to the migrated fish for five species (Cyprinus cuvieri, Carassius auratus, Pseudorasbora parva, Misgurnus mizolepis, and Oryzias latipes) had a mean of 0.623. Especially, migration probabilities from the Jeonchon reservoir to the Sineun reservoir for five species were high (a mean of 0.681). The period of migration was suggested to be about one month because of short geographical distances (50 m). We found no significant difference between the three categories in the distribution of the other four species, indicating the species probability was similar among stations.

  • Multi core-shell composite particles were prepared by the water-born emulsion polymerization of various core monomers such as methyl methacrylate (MMA), ethyl methacrylate (EMA) and shell monomers such as MMA, EMA, 2-hydroxyl ethyl methacrylate (2-HEMA), glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) and methacrylic acid (MAA) in the presence of different concentrations of sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS). The following conclusions are drawn from the conversion, particle size and distribution, average molecular weight, molecular structure, glass transition temperature with DSC, contact angle after plasma treatment, tensile strength and isothermal decomposition kinetics. In the case of the concentration of 0.02 wt% SDBS, the conversion of MMA core-(EMA/GMA) shell composite particles was excellent as 98.5%. In the case of the concentration of 0.03 wt% SDBS, the particle size of EMA core-(MMA/GMA) shell composite particles was high as $0.48{\mu}m$. We confirmed that 3 points of glass transition temperatures appear for multi core-shell composite particles compared to 1~2 points of glass transition temperatures appear for general copolymer particles. Overall, the adhesion strength of shell composite particles was in the order of EMA/MAA > EMA/2-HEMA > EMA/GMA.

  • Transfer of the isolated nuclei from Lentinus edodes into protoplasts of Pleurotus florida was induced with polyethlene glycol (PEG) and $CaCl_2$. The intergeneric transfer products were classified into nuclear hybrid, heterokaryon or synkaryon, and reconstituted cell. These progenies except nuclear hybrids formed mature fruiting bodies on sawdust rice bran medium. Formation of fruit bodies was influenced by several factors such as light, temperature, nutrition and physic state of the culture media. Most of fruiting body characters were similar to those of P. florida in synkaryon and L. edodes in reconstituted cell, respectively. All these basidiocarps had clamp connections though initial heterokaryon colonies were lacking. Isozyme patterns of intergeneric progenies were quite different from those of parents. DNA polymorphisms of transfer products were also compared by random amplified polymorphic DNAs (RAPD) analysis based on polymerase chain reaction. The RAPD patterns were different from those of donor and recipient. DNA fingerprints ranged in size from 0.25 to 4.0 Kb. On the basis of RAPD, the transfer products were classified into five groups. Two synkaryon were analysed with distribution of progenies and segregation of genetic markers by random spore analyses. The genetic markers were segregated into wild type and riboflavine requiring auxotrophs.

  • A phytosociological survey carried out using the Z.-M. School’s methodology and system of numerical-classification analyses, this study sought to classify the syntaxa of forest vegetation on Mt. Byeokbang and to collect basic data on the transitional zones of the southern Korean peninsula’s coastal region. The syntaxa were classified into three physiognomic types and nine communities, including (1) evergreen coniferous forests (Eurya japonica-Pinus thunbergii community and Ardisia japonica-Pinus densiflora community), (2) summer-green, broad-leaved forests (Chloranthus japonicus-Quercus serrate community, Syneilesis palmata-Quercus mongolica community, Quercus acutissima community, Carpinus turczaninovii var. coreana community, Fraxinus siebolidiana-Quercus dentate community, and Deutzia glabrata-Lindera erythrocarpa community), and (3) artificial afforestation (Alnus firma afforestation). The Chloranthus japonicus-Quercus serrata community, Syneilesis palmata-Quercus mongolica community, Fraxinus siebolidiana-Quercus dentata community, Carpinus turczaninovii var. coreana, community and Deutzia glabrata-Lindera erythrocarpa community were closely evaluated for national vegetation naturalness. It was confirmed that the Carpinus turczaninovii var. coreana community was endemic to Korea. Most syntaxa were defined as a secondary forestation due to various human activities (e.g., forest fires, logging, digging, climbing, etc.). The results of a canonical-correspondence analysis (CCA) showed that human activities, altitude, humus depth, rock cover ratio, slope, etc. were the main ecological factors determining the classified plant communities’ distribution patterns.

  • Peptides separated from fish paste washing liquid of an Alaska pollak (Theragria chalcogramma) were purified and characterized. The fish paste washing liquid (supernatant) was separated by centrifugation of fish paste homogenate. The fish paste washing liquid of $0.5\%$ concentration was hydrolyzed for 24 hour at $50^{\circ}C$ by immobilized protease in bioreactor and decomposing liquid of protein having $50\%$ decomposing rate (OPA method) was obtained. The crude peptide fractions were obtained from this liquid by Dowex 50w $(H^+)$ column chromatograpy. Purified peptides (SP-fraction peptides) were fractionated by using SP-Sepadex C-25 $(H^+)$ column chromatography. Molecular weights and amino acid compositions of these peptides were estimated by Sephadex G-50 column chromatography and HPLC, respectively. when the washed peptides was eluated with $0.6\~0.9\%\;and\;1.2\~2.0\%$ of NaCl, peptides composed of weakly basic amino acids and strongly basic amino acid were respectively eluted. Molecular weights of each peptide fractions showed the broad distribution from 1,000 Da to 3,000 Da in the order of SP-4>SP-3>SP-2>SP-1. Peptides contained a large quantity of glycine, arginine, glutamic acid, and alanine in the washed peptide and its SP-tractions, respectively.

  • Monthly variation of species composition and abundance of fish eggs were examined to know the spawning time and location of the fishes inhabiting the coastal region of Jejudo Island. Samplings had been performed at the four locations (Jeju port, Seongsanpo, Seogwipo port and Chagwido) with a bongo net which was towed monthly at the sea surface from August 2006 to July 2007. The fish eggs were identified based on phylogenetic analyses with the DNA sequences generated through PCR-amplification and sequencing of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene. Among a total of 43 taxa classified during the study period, 34 were identified to species, 4 to families, and the remaining 5 were unidentified. Of them, 23 taxa were occurred at Jeju port, 21 at Seongsanpo, 19 at Seogwipo port and 18 at Chagwido, whereas 15 taxa were found in September 2006, 12 in June 2007, 6 to 8 in August 2006 and January~May 2007, 5 in each October and November 2006, 3 in each December 2006 and July 2007. Among 34 species of fish eggs, Engraulis japonicus and Callanthias japonicus most frequently appeared at 16 times out of 48 observations in total. When those eggs were collected, the surface seawater temperature ranged $14.0{\sim}28.6^{\circ}C$ for E. japonicus and $14.9{\sim}20.5^{\circ}C$ for C. japonicus. The success rates of PCR-amplification and species identification in this study were 68.3% and 79.1%, respectively.

  • Classified handmade Korean paper which has been commonly used as the material for the paper cultural assets divide into four classes. We irradiated xenon arc lamp, which has almost the same spectrum distribution as natural sunlight, to test photo-induced of discoloration according to PEG molecular weight and concentration. So, we reach the followings. 1) Unbleached handmade Korean paper with PEG showed rapid decrease of brightness for 10 hours after photo-irradiation, regardless of molecular weight of PEG, but, after 10 hours, it showed gradual increase of brightness. From this, it proved that there was an effect of preventing discoloration of photo-irradiation. 2) Chemical bleached handmade Korean paper showed increase of brightness after 20 hours. Though time was delayed in increase of brightness, there was also an effect of preventing discoloration of photo-irradiation in chemical bleached paper. 3) Handmade Korean paper made with abet-mosk showed the lowest of brightness when it was tested on 400-20% PEG. Before photo-irradiation, the brightness of paper, applied it, was the lowest, but it showed the least difference of brightness after photo-irradiation. From this, it proved that there was the greatest effect of preventing discoloration in this paper. 4) Preventing yellowish, the first phenomena by photo-irradiation ageing with applying PEG was proved that there was the decrease of value of $b^*$ +, and increase value of $L^*$, which could fairly prevent decrease of brightness.
