A program was initiated to transfer potato virus Y vein-necrosis strain resistance from N. africana to N. tabacum The Fl plants between the above species were self-sterile, but all amphidiploid plants from the Fl plants and backcrossed flowers, that is, the N. tabacum flowers crossed with amphidiploid were self-fertile. The parent, amphidiploid plants of Fl, F2 population of the amphidiploid and the backcrossed generation were screened for a resistance of potato virus Y vein-necrosis strain isolated in Korea. The Chi-square values for the F2 population of the amphidiploid and the backcrossed generation fitted 35: 1 and 5 : 1 ratios of resistant to susceptible for the potato virus Y vein-necrosis strain, respectively. Therefore, it was found that the resistance of N. tabacum for the potato virus Y vein-necrosis strain was controlled by a single dominant gene.

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor members have unique structures composed of 2-4 cysteine - rich pseudorepeats in the extracellular domain. On ligation by trimeric ligand molecules, oligomerization of three receptor molecules occurs, which in turn activates the receptor and recruits intracellular signaling molecules to the cytoplasmic tail to initiate biological events. Recently, the numbers of tumor necrosis factor receptor and ligand family members have been rapidly expanding. Functional characterization of the new members has indicated redundant roles with other known members as well as provided insights into novel functions. In particular, identification of soluble decoy receptors which have the ability to bind multiple ligands highlights a complex control mechanism of immune responses by these molecules. Studies of the new members have also revealed that the TNF receptor and ligand family members play an important role in other than the immune system.

Viral nervous necrosis (VNN) is a serious disease of sevenband grouper Epinephelus septemfasciatus in Korean aquaculture farms. However, we suggest the following preventative methods for hatcheries: 1) disinfecting rearing water, 2) selecting spawners via ELISA and PCR, 3) selecting eggs via PCR, 4) disinfecting fertilized eggs, and 5) proper facilities management. When these methods are implemented, nervous necrosis virus (NNV)-free fish are produced because vertical and horizontal transmission is prevented. However, horizontal transmission of NNV through rearing seawater sourced from the environment during grow-out stages in sea cages can still occur. Live NNV vaccines with a low rearing temperature or Poly(I:C) immunization are very effective at preventing horizontal transmission of NNV in rearing farms. Furthermore, even after VNN is contracted, fish mortality can be reduced by administering Poly(I:C).

4, 919 Samples of the slaughtered cattle(female) were investigated the abattoir in southern Kangwon to reveal the incidence rates of abdominal fat necrosis from June to December 1993. The results obtained were summarized as follows ; 1. The incidence rate of abdominal fat necrosis investigated from 4, 919 samples was 4.39%. 2. It revealed that the incidence rate of abdominal fat necrosis increased gradually with the advance in the age, 2.5% in below 5 years, 6.0% in 6 years, 7.2% in 7 years, 8.5% in 7 years, 8.9% in older than 9 years and that incidence rate of the sites of lesion, pericolonic fat 84.7%, perirectumic fat 48.6%, perirenal fat 37.9%. mesenteric fat 24.0%, others 7.8%. 3. The size of necrotic fat were $2{\times}3cm{\sim}10{\sim}18{\times}15{\sim}25cm$ in average and color was yellowish white or milk white.

Paraformaldehyde has been used in the past as a pulpotomy agent. However, it has a severe cytotoxic effect and may cause alveolar bone necrosis. Depulpin, a devitalizing agent containing 49% paraformaldehyde, is no longer used frequently due to its severe side effects. In the two cases described in the present study, Depulpin was used as a devitalizing agent during root canal treatment. It caused a gradual loss of sensibility in adjacent teeth, gingival necrosis, and osteomyelitis. This case report demonstrates the serious side effects of using a paraformaldehyde-containing paste as a devitalizing agent for pulp, particularly mandibular bone necrosis.

Intestinal Behçet's disease is a rare, immune-mediated chronic intestinal inflammatory disease; therefore, clinical trials to optimize the management and treatment of patients are scarce. Moreover, intestinal Behçet's disease is difficult to treat and often requires surgery because of the failure of conventional medical treatment. Administration of anti-tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$, a potential therapeutic strategy, is currently under active clinical investigation, and evidence of its effectiveness for both intestinal Behçet's disease and inflammatory bowel diseases has been accumulating. Here, we review updated data on current experiences and outcomes after the administration of anti-tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ for the treatment of intestinal Behçet's disease. In addition to infliximab and adalimumab, which are the most commonly used agents, we describe agents such as golimumab, etanercept, and certolizumab pegol, which have recently been shown to be effective in refractory intestinal Behçet's disease. This review also discusses safety issues associated with anti-tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$, including vulnerability to infections and malignancy.

To investigate the antiviral activity of marine algae against fish pathogenic viruses, which are often the causes of viral disease in aquaculture, the 80% methanolic extracts of 21 species collected from the coast of Korea were screened for their in vitro antiviral activities on infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) and infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV), using a flounder spleen (FSP) cell-line. Among them, Monostroma nitidum (10 ${\mu}g/mL$) exhibited the strongest inactivation on IHNV, showing a 2 log reduced virus titre as compared to the control in the determination of direct virucidal activity. In addition, Polysiphonia morrowii (100 ${\mu}g/mL$) remarkably reduced the virus titres of treated cells by 2-2.5 log, for both IHNV and IPNV, in the determination of cellular protective activity, implying the existence of substances that may modulate innate host defense mechanisms against viral infections. These results reveal that some marine algae could be promising candidates as sources of antiviral agents or as health-promoting feeds for aquaculture.

Avascular necrosis is a significant late complication of talar neck fracture. However, treatment for early stage avascular necrosis has been not established. Two patients with post-traumatic avascular necrosis of talus treated with vascular pedicle graft using lateral tarsal artery were reviewed to determine the efficacy of procedure. The procedure involved grafting the lateral tarsal artery and vein into a hole made in the talus through a anterolateral approach. Follow-up was 12 and 24 months respectively. Two patients had significant pain relief, improved function, no worsening of their radiologic staging. The results are promising enough to recommend consideration of this procedure in early stages of avascular necrosis.

We developed and subsequently characterized mouse monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against nervous necrosis virus (NNV, RGNNV genotype). We established six hybridoma clones secreting MAbs against NNV antigen: 2B1, 2B11, 2C12, 13C1-1, 13C1-2 and 14D11. All six MAbs belonged to the IgG2a isotype with a kappa light chain and their reactivity recognized against the 41 kDa coat protein of NNV by Western blot analysis. The affinity constants of the six MAbs were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). All six MAbs reacted with two NNV isolates (SgNag05 and Gemunodo06), while no reactivity was observed with five know fish viruses, namely marine birnavirus, infectious pancreatic necrosis virus, viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus, hirame rhabdovirus, and infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus. Moreover, high ELISA optical density (OD) values (0.87-1.42) were observed in the brain tissues of NNV-infected sevenband grouper, while low OD values (less than 0.12) were recorded in the brain tissues of uninfected fish. These results suggest that these six MAbs are highly competent and useful for the detection of NNV with the RGNNV genotype.
