Whereas calcium deposition in soft tissues is not uncommon, highly-structured, identified as mature cancellous bone within soft tissues is not frequent. Here, we report an usual case of mature cancellous bone in cheek subcutaneous tissue in 15-year-old Korean male. Microscopically the cancellous bone was encompassed by epithelial cells, which was confirmed by immunohistochemical staining with cytokeratin AE1/3. The present mature cancellous bone in subcutaneous tissue could be originated from oral epithelium.

Malignant tumor of the paranasal sinus is a rare, occurring most frequently in the maxillary sinus. Carcinomas of the maxillary sinus are usually diagnosed at the advanced stage because most tumors have no symptom or nonspecific symptoms such as pain, nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea, and epistaxis. In addition to these features, it is difficult to distinguish carcinoma from inflammatory or cystic lesion on imaging study until the carcinoma destroys the surrounding structures. Therefore, the diagnosis is prone to be delayed. Here, we report a case of an 83‐year‐old male with nonkeratinizing carcinoma on the maxillary sinus, which was initially misdiagnosed as a cystic lesion. The aim of this study is to emphasize the effort for early diagnosis in order to improve prognosis and avoid inadequate treatment

아메리카동애등에(Hermetia illucens)는 대표적인 환경정화곤충으로, 우리나라에는 1990년에 최초로 발견되어 보고(Kim, 1997)되어 외래종으로 취급되고 있는 종이다. 아메리카동애등에는 인공적으로 대량 사육이 가능하여 농가에 보급될 예정이다. 본 연구는 농업과학원 인공 사육 시설에서 발생된 분변토의 성분이 생태계 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 생태독성평가(Acute toxicity test)를 수행하였다. Proteose media로 분변토 성분을 추출하여 인위적으로 침출수를 제조하여 Chlorella vulgaris(UTEX-2714, Chlorophyceae)의 Cell number 증가 여부를 72시간 동안 확인 하였다. 100% 농도에서는 C. vulgaris 성장을 억제하지만, 50% 이하 수준에서는 유의성 있는 영향은 없는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 대량 사육시설에서 발생되는 분변토의 경우 사육시설 주변 하천으로 침출수 형태로 유입이 되더라도 큰 영향은 없을 것으로 추측된다.

아메리카동애등에(Hermetia illucens)는 대표적인 환경정화곤충으로, 우리나라 에는 1990년에 최초로 발견되어 보고(Kim, 1997)되어 외래종으로 취급되고 있는 종이다. 본 연구는 2010년 5월부터 9월 까지 시행되어 총 16개소에서 약 300개체 를 채집하였다. 우리나라 전역에 분포하고 있었으며, 해발 850m 까지 분포하는 것 으로 확인 되었다. 추계에 농가에서 발생하는 생활 쓰레기의 양적 증가에 따른 개 체수 증가를 보였다. 인가 및 음식점 근처 텃밭이 있는 유기성 폐기물이 야적된 지 역을 중심으로 주로 서식하며, 산란장소로 이용하는 것으로 확인 되었다. 자연 상 태에서 동애등에(Ptecticus tenebrifer)와 서식지 및 Niche가 중첩되어 서로 극심한 경쟁관계에 있으며, 서식지 경쟁, 비행능력, 서식 밀도, 지역적 분포 면에서 동애등 에(Ptecticus tenebrifer)가 우월한 것으로 관찰되었다. 사람 몸에 붙는 경우는 없었 으며, 음식냄새를 맡고 음식점 안으로 날아 들어오는 경우가 있었다. 규칙적으로 방제를 시행하는 축사, 퇴비 생산 공장, 대규모 농경지 및 주변 지역에는 분포하지 않는 것으로 조사되었다. 애벌레 및 번데기는 야생조류가 섭취하지 않으며, 성충 은 거미류에 포식당하는 것이 확인 되었다.

Since the evaluation of its intellectual activities and abilities is done by curator’s capabilities, planning exhibition is very important as the final result achieved by their own knowledge, information, and research. ARPA(Advanced Research Project on Arts) is suggested as the system which enables curators responding simultaneously to the society in the times, based on its special characteristics. If this system settles well, which means that the curators at NMCA(National Museum of Contemporary Art, Korea) play their roles as the professionals in each of their fields, the goal of consolidating the status of museum as the representative national museum, and building up competent department of curators, will be achieved at the same time. To clarify above, the curators set up the various assignments of research about the types of arts such as painting, Korean painting, sculpture, installation, new-media, design, craft, photogarphy, architecture, etc. And they establish the art objects classified by the regions, such as the Northern American, Southern American, European, Asian, and other Third World countries. They elaborate art objects more on the history, the work, the artist, and the issue of contemporary art. Furthermore, when the curators devote deeper study to those research subjects, they can have the opportunities to design an exhibition upon the research.Today, the museum of art is ‘The Place for Communication and Encounter’, it is regarded important to share the aesthetical, creative values with current artists, and to understand mutually with the spectators. It is needed to improve the curator’s work, in order to meet the demands of the times and even to advance. Because the form of ‘exhibition’ is the tool that reveals the identity NMCA aiming at, the motivation, the development, and the realization should be leaded by the curators, who are the mainstream of the museum. ARPA is a system for identifying the exhibition like mentioned above . The main purpose of this system is to produce synergy effect, having the researching, collecting work in liaison with planning exhibition. ARPA will be able to improve the quality of exhibition through the way of developing the exhibition, passing through the stable process in the long run. So far, I have referred to a new paradigm of the exhibition design at NMCA via ARPA. Yet, there still remain missions in reality, such as analyzing the previous exhibition and reshuffling personnel and system, which should be done. When these matters settled, these plans would be suggested practically. At this point, it is the most significant that NMCA is attempting to let others aware of the importance of exhibition planning based on research. when the ARPA and exhibition planning is conjoined together successfully, the competent exhibition will be achieved, which can offer a meaningful exhibition to the art world, strengthen infra structure thru exchanging with public museum in the region, and eventually, establish a network with museum in foreign countries.
