This study was carried out to obtain new anti-gout agent from mushrooms. Various extracts from twelve kinds of mushrooms were prepared by water and ethanol extractions and its anti-gout xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity were investigated. Water extract of Flammulina velutipes and Agaricus bisporus fruiting bodies showed high xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity of 70.8% and 60.0%, respectively. However, its inhibitory activity of these ethanol extracts were very low excepet 60.3% of Innotus obliquus. Finally, we selected Flammulina velutipes, showing the highest xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity as a producer of new anti-gout agent.

The diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella, is one of the most important pests of cole crops in the world and is the first insect to evolve resistance to Bt toxins in open-field populations. To search for useful molecular markers for Bt reistance monitoring, the PCR-based restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) profiles of three aminopeptidase N (PxAPN1, PxAPN2 and PxAPN4) were determined for 15 representative regional field populations of P. xylostella. Most regional samples had similar RFLP patterns, whereas PxAPN1 from four regions and PxAPN4 from two regions showed different banding patterns after restriction enzyme treatment, but no differences were found in PxAPN2 among populations. The DNA sequence analysis revealed that a point mutation at the restriction site was responsible for the polymorphism of PxAPN1 but no mutations were observed in PxAPN4. Comparing amino acid sequences of PxAPNs from regional populations with reference PxAPNs (GenBank accession no. AAB70755) revealed that four regional populations possessed a point mutation in the Cry1A binding site of PxAPN1 and five regional populations possessed a deletion of eight amino acids in PxAPN4. These RFLP patterns were consistently observed in Southern regions of Korea, including Kyungsangnam-Do and Jeju-Do. The functional association of these RFLP with Bt resistance is currently under investigation

The stable fly, Stomoxys calcitrans L., is an important pest of livestock. Stable flies are considered as mechanical vectors of veterinary disease. Pyrethroids and organophosphates have been widely used for stable fly control. To establish resistance monitoring molecular tool, we isolated the partial cDNA and genomic fragments of voltage-sensitive sodium channel and acetylcholinesterase genes encompassing the well known conserved sites for resistance-associated mutations. To examine the current status of stable fly resistance to pyrethroids and organophosphates mediated by the nerve insensitivity mechanism in Korean population of S. calcitrans, DNA-based genotyping in conjunction with residual contact vial (RCV) bioassay were conducted with 11 representative regional field populations. No resistance-associated mutations were detected in these S. calcitrans populations, suggesting that these populations are likely still susceptible to both pyrethroids and organophosphates. Establishment of RCV bioassay protocol and availalbility of target site sequence information will greatly facilitate resistance monitoring of S. calcitrans in the field.

Woolly apple aphid, Eriosoma lanigerum, overwintered as adult or nymph stage on rootstocks, and crown- and root sucker in the soil. In an unsprayed apple orchard, the number of E. lanigerum colony started to increase from mid-April, showed the 1st peak between late June and early July, thereafter decreased followed by the 2nd peak in late July, and then again peaked in late September as the size in the 1st peak. In this orchard, the number of E. lanigerum colonies per tree did not exceed 3.5 colonies during the peak occurrence period, and was maintained around 2 colonies throughout seasons. In all seasons, parasitism of Aphelinus mali on E. lanigerum was much lower on root colonies than on aerial colonies that located on shoots and tree trunks above the ground. The parasitism of E. lanigerum was high in most orchards examined, showing parasitism of > 70% in maximum in most cases. In the laboratory bioassay for the mortality effects of several insecticides on E. lanigerum, fenitrothion, dichlorphos, machine oil, methidathion, thiacloprid, and imidacloprid showed 97.8, 96.8, 95.4, 91.5, 26.7, and 7.8% morality, respectively. Also, the adult emergence rates from A. mali mummies were 51.2, 72.6, 14.2, 3.5, 72.2, and 85.4% in the treatment of the above insecticides, respectively. Insecticides belong to neonicotinoid, which are newly developed to control aphids, showed low mortality against E. lanigerum. Fenitrothion and dichlorphos were effective on E. lanigerum control and had a low toxic to A. mali. Consequently, the insecticides should be useful in integrated pest management system for E. lanigerum in apple orchards.

Beef marbling is known as one of the most important beef-quality traits in Korea. It is likely that marbling derived from fatty acids, mainly propionate, is mediated by rumen. Recently micro-agents were studied to enhance marbling, although many parts of that were digested in rumen. Therefore, this study was conducted to screen candidate materials to effect on beef quality with in vitro ruminal incubation. The materials such as saponin, chitosan, Zn compounds (4), vitamin C sources (2), Korean herb cocktail and garlic sources (2) were added to rumen fluid to 1.25% of substrate volume at 0 and 24 h incubation time. Total gas production in intact vitamin C source increased but that in all Zn compounds decreased (P＜0.05). Total gas production in Zn sulfate compound less decreased than in other Zn sources. Propionate in Zn sulfate increased than the other candidate compounds at all incubation time (P＜0.05). Experiment two was conducted to clarified effect of additives such as vitamin C sources (2), garlic lyophilized, Korea herb cocktail and Zn sulfate were supplemented with 2.5% volume at the 0, 3, 6, 12 and 24 h incubation time. Total gas in Zn sulfate was lower than any other treatments. Propionate in garlic, herb and Zn sulfate appeared to be lower than control and vitamin C sources at all incubation time, although significant difference was not observed in total VFA among control and all treatment. This study suggested that micro-agent might be used to improve beef quality with minute level.

This study was conducted to improve the effect of environment-friendly Tetranychus urticae pesticide through the development of Tetranychus urticae biopesticide using the plant extract. Tested extracts were fig leaf extract, viburnum erosum extract; besides Sophora flavescens Ait extract, Derris root extract, Tobacco leaf extract, and they were proved to be the caricidal effect of two spotted spider mite adults by spraying on the French bean leaf inoculated for Tetranychus urticae with each concentration; 500ppm, 200ppm, 100ppm, 50ppm. In the control treatments, caricidal effect was compared with only ‘Eungsami’ (500ppm, 200ppm, 100ppm, 50ppm), of which the main ingredient as environment-friendly organic material is, and distilled water. The caricidal effect of tested extracts to the two spotted spider mite adult was the highest in the Sophora flavescens Ait extract and Tobacco leaf extract over 90%, and comparatively low in the Derris root extract. When the caricidal effect of ‘Eungsami’ was compared with two spotted spider mite adults with each concentration, ‘Eungsami’(500ppm) and Tobacco leaf extract(500ppm) were very excellent as each 95.5%, 98.7% in treated concentration. The effect of Sophora flavescens Ait extract was also high as 96.5%. In the low concentration(50ppm), Sophora flavescens Ait extract was 45.8%, Tobacco leaf extract was the most effective as 53.8%.

Based on the Benzoflex (Vesicol Chemical Co.) as PVC plasticizer substituents for Di-n-octyl phthalate (DOP), a series of new aromatic carboxylic acid ester compounds were designed as plasticizers, synthesized, and screened for the endocrine disrupting activity. 2-Hydroxybenzoic acid (1) and 2-methoxybenzoic acid (2) as the commercially available starting materials were reacted with diethylene glycol (3) in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid using Dean-Stark column to give diethylene glycol di-(2-hydroxy)benzoate (4, KH01) and diethylene glycol di-(2-methoxy)benzoate (5, KH02), respectively. And diethylene glycol di-(3-pyridinyl) ester (7, KH03) and dipropylene glycol di-(3-pyridinyl) ester (9, KH04) were obtained in high yields by treatment of nicotinoyl chloride (6) with diethylene glycol (3) and dipropylene glycol (8) in the presence of triethylamine as a base. To determine the estrogenic disrupting effect of new synthetic phthalate analogues, E-screen assay method was used. Of these compounds, 4 (KH01) was found to be compound without endocrine disrupting effect.

The periodontal diseases and dental caries are major infectious diseases in oral cavity. Many of the preventive and therapeutic dental products contain the antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory components. But some of these antimicrobial have weak points such as coloration, burning sensation and insolubility in water. We have screened the therapeutic herbal extracts of the Plant Extract Bank for the antimicrobial activity on the major dental pathogens by growth inhibition assay. For the Porphyromonas gingivalis, 8 herbal extracts had an antimicrobial activity, 11 herbal extracts for the Prevotella intermedia, 43 herbal extracts for the Haemophilus actinomycetemcomitans and 61 herbal extracts for the Streptococcus mutans. Among these extracts, 6 herbal extracts had an antimicrobial activity for more than 3 species of dental pathogens. These extracts are Araliae Cordatae Radix, Crassirhizomae Rhizoma, Mori Radicis Cortex, Psoraleae Semen, Pini Ramulus and Sieges- beckiae Herba. All of effective extracts were CA group, ethanol extracts. Among these 6 herbal extracts, only Crassirhizomae is known to have a antibacterial effects. Therefore these herbal extracts have a possibility to be a candidate for a major antibacterial components in dental products.

From the course of screening of useful enzyme producing microorganism from insect guts, we isolated 9 lipase producing strains and their lipase producing activities were tested. 16S rDNA sequence analysis showed that they were Gram negative bacteria grouped on Serratia sp., Pseudomonas sp., and Burkholderia sp.. Among them, an excellent lipase producing strain, Burkholderia sp. HY-10 identified by 16S rDNA analysis and biochemical methods, was further studied its lipase producing characteristics. It was isolated from a longcorm beetle, Prionus insularis and showed cell density dependent lipase producing activity in the culture media that contained olive oil as a carbon source. Maximum lipase production was achieved in the M9 media containing 0.5% yeast extract and 0.5% olive oil when cultured at 30℃ for 36-42 hrs.

본고는 한일합병 전후 시기의 한문과 교과서들에 대한 탄압의 배경과 상황 그리고 탄압의 결과가 한문과 발전 역사에 끼친 부정적 영향에 대하여 고구할 목적하에 집필되었다. 처음부터 일본인들은 기본적으로 한국 학교에서의 한문과 교육을 실시하는 것 자체를 부정적으로 인식하고 있었다. 다만 당시 한국 내 정황상 한문과 교육이 불가피하였으므로 한문과를 독립․존속시키고 학부에서 한문독본용 교과서를 제작하여 보급하였던 것이다. 그러나 이것도 잠시 후 漢文科를 국어과와 통합하여 國語及漢文科로 변경시키고 활발하게 개발되어 교육 현장에서 사용되던 한문과 교과서를 대대적으로 탄압하였다. 敎科用圖書檢定規程을 발표한 시점을 전후하여 민간과 단체들이 제작하였거나 혹은 중국 등 외부로부터 수입한 교과서들의 내용을 면밀히 조사하여 교과서들의 내용이 정치적으로 일본 측에 비판적이거나 적대적인 것은 모두 사용을 금지시켰다. 한문과 교과서는 수신과, 국어과, 역사과 교과서들과 함께 집중적인 탄압의 대상이 되었으며 그에 따라 새롭게 개발하여 사용하던 한문과 교과서는 예외 없이 사용이 금지되었다. 모든 교과서의 검정 진행 결과를 기록하고 있는 ꡔ敎科用圖書一覽 에 의하면 한일합병 직전에는 그나마 6-7종의 교과서들은 사용이 허가되었는데 이들은 전통적인 명문장들을 모은 것이거나[고문약선, 문장지남, 한문학교과서 등] 아니면 문법 교육용 교과서[초등작문법]와 기독교계 학교에서 사용하던 수입 교재[초학계제, 회도몽학과본]들에 국한된 것이었다. 통감부와 조선총독부는 이처럼 새롭게 개발된 교과서들을 철저히 탄압하는 대신 논어 맹자 등 四書類를 비롯한 전통 교재들은 모두 검정을 통과시키고 있다. 이는 한문과의 교육 내용을 다시 유교의 경전들로 회귀시킴으로써 정치적으로 지방 유림의 반발을 무마하고 한문 학습을 이용한 신지식 획득이나 정치의식 고양을 막고자하는 일본의 의도가 반영된 것이다. 결국 1906년 이후 한문과 교육의 새로운 방향 모색과 시대에 기여할 수 있는 교과로서의 의미를 지닌 교과로 발전해가던 한문과의 노력은 좌절되었고 한문과 교과서들이 다시 중세의 교재들로 회귀하는 형국이 되고 만 것이다. 이러한 굴절의 역사는 한문과의 정체성을 복고적인 것으로 고정시키는 부정적인 영향을 끼쳤다.

Total 90 species of medicinal plants were surveyed to see if they have any suppressive effects on the dinsity of M. hapla at the exhibition field in the Chinan medicinal herbs experiment station. In 70 species including Achyranthes japonica, root-knot and/or egg sac of M. hapla was not found and these plants were planted in C. lanceolata field to check the degree of M. hapla infection. In 26 species including A. japonica, M. hapla infection was not observed. Simultaneously, 30 species were planted in pots to find out degree of infection by M. hapla. Dianthus chinensis, Rudbeckia bicolor, Sedum kantschaticum, Ricinus communis, Anemarrhena asphodeloides, Malva verticillata, Chelidonium majus, Sesamum indicum, Agrimonia pilosa, Geum aleppicum, Sanguisorba officinalis and Scrophularia buergeriana were free from infection. While the number of galls and density of M. hapla in soil were higher to high innoculation density, and the growth of C. lanceolata was rower.
