억새는 국내에서 흔히 자생하는 다년생 C4 식물로써 바이오에탄올 작물이다. 최근 4대강 주변에 많이 식재 되고 있으며 세계적으로는 친환경 에너지 자원으로 주목 받고 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 억새를 가해하는 해충에 관한 정보가 미비하여 억새를 가해하는 해충을 조사 하던 중 이화명나방에 의한 피해가 확인 되어 경남 산청, 전북 익산, 전남 화순 지역의 거대억새 재배지에서 이화명나방의 월동 유충 밀도, 우화시기, 피해율, 피해 부위를 각각 조사 하였다. 이화명나방 유충에 의한 거대억새의 뿌리 피해율은 화순지역에서 18.9%로 가장 높게 나타났으며, 유충 밀도는 3.7 마리/m2 였다. 익산지역에서는 이화명나방 유충이 발견되지 않았으며 산청지역에서는 1마리가 발견되었다. 이화명나방의 우화 시기는 모든 지역에서 5월 초순부터 성충이 발견되었고, 1화기와 2화기의 피해율을 조사한 결과 유충의 밀도가 높았던 화순 지역에서 각 각 26.9%, 11.9%로 나타났으며, 익산과 산청 지역은 모두 1% 미만의 낮은 피해율를 보였다. 억새의 높이에 따른 이화명나방의 칩입공 위치는 대부분 0∼20 cm 사이에 발견되었고, 위쪽 보다는 아래쪽에서 더 많은 침입공이 발견 되었다.

Sialolith is a common disease of salivary glands characterized by the development of salivary stones, resulting in the salivary ductal obstruction. The chief complaints of patients with sialoliths are pain and swelling of the involved gland during meals. Most sialoliths are found in the submandibular gland of middle-aged patients. The size of the salivary stones can vary, but most of them are less than 10mm in size, giant sialoliths(larger than 15mm) are very rare. In this case, we report a 68-years old female patient who had removal of a giant sialolith located in left proximal Wharton’s duct by less invasive intraoral surgical technique successfully. We also review related literature.

The ossifying fibroma (OF), with the microscopic features of trabuclae or spherules of bone or cementum-like material in a cellular fibrous connective tissue stroma, is one of the most common benign fibro-osseous lesions in the jaw bones. The OF often occurs in patients from 20 to 40 years of age, which is a definite female predilection. The mandibles are involved far more often than the maxillas, especially the pre-molar and molar regions. It is slow-growing, bone producing, asymptomatic and well-demarcated. The OF is a disorder of odontogenesis or osteogenesis ascribed to bone marrow stroma cells (BMSCs) abnormality. However, the detailed mechanisms of OF’s oncogenesis, cytodifferentiation, and tumor progression remain unknown. In this article, we reported a huge central OF on the anterior mandible. The lesion was enucleated and peripheral ostectomy was done via intraoral approach and reconstructed with vascularized iliac block bone graft. After 25 months of follow up, the tumor had not recurred. This case shows that OF may be successfully treated by conservative surgical enucleation and peripheral ostectomy.

본 연구는 반추동물의 조사료 자원으로서 거대억새를 개발하기 위한 목적으로 수행되었다. 우리나라에서 새롭게 개발된 품종인 거대억새 1호를 완숙기 이후에 채취하여 in vitro 반추위 발효를 이용해반추위내 pH, 암모니아태 질소, 가스발생량, 휘발성 지방산 생성량 및 건물소화율을 조사하였으며,볏짚과 비교하여 평가하였다. 거대억새는 볏짚에 비하여 유의적으로 높은 반추위내 pH를 나타내었다(p<0.01). 암모니아태 질소의 경우 배양 12시간 이후에는 두 처리구간의 유의적인 차이를 나타내지 않았다 (p>0.05). 배양 6시간 이후 부터는 거대억새의 가스발생량이 볏짚에 비하여 유의적으로 낮게 나타났다 (p<0.05). 휘발성 지방산 생성량에 있어 acetate, propionate, butyrate, valerate 및 총생상량에서 볏짚이 거대억새보다 높게 나타났다. 그러나 iso-butyrate와 iso-valerate에서는 두 조사료원별 차이는 발견되지 않았다. 건물소화율에 있어 배양 12~24시간 사이의 거대억새 소화율이 볏짚에 비하여 유의적으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 거대억새의 이용성은 볏짚의 약 80% 수준인 것으로 나타났다.

Multinucleated giant cells appear in a variety forms in different types of oral lesion. However, their nature is still not well understood. Thus, to address this issue, the immunohistochemical characteristics of inflammatory giant cells (Langhans’ giant cells in lesions of tuberculosis and foreign body giant cells in odontogenic keratocysts and squamous cell carcinomas) and tumor giant cells in central giant cell granulomas were compared with those of osteoclasts, the normal giant cell, using a panel of macrophage and osteoclast marker antibodies, such as calcitonin receptor (CT-R), c-Src, Cathepsin K (Cath-K), CD14, RANK, and c-fms. The foreign body giant cells around cholesterol clefts in inflamed odontogenic keratocysts revealed more macrophage-like characteristics than the foreign body giant cells resorbing keratin pearls in squamous cell carcinomas. As such, both cases of foreign body giant cell exhibited immunoreactivity for the macrophage markers, such as CD14, RANK, and c-fms, yet only the latter case exhibited immunoreactivity for the osteoclast markers, such as CT-R and c-Src. Moreover, both cases of foreign body giant cells were positive for TRAP activity, yet negative for Cathepsin K activity. In contrast, the other inflammatory giant cells, Langhans’ giant cells, exhibited immunoreactivity for both the macrophage and osteoclast markers, yet were negative for TRAP activity. Meanwhile, the giant cells in the central giant cell granulomas reacted positively to both the macrophage and osteoclast markers, and were also positive for TRAP activity. Accordingly, these findings suggest that the immunoprofiles of giant cells in oral lesions vary according to the nature of the lesion, despite shared osteoclast and macrophage characteristics. Furthermore, the giant cells in tumorous lesions closely associated with bony destruction revealed more osteoclastic characteristics and their enzyme components were different according to the nature of the lesion

거대억새 자원의 활용도 제고방안의 일환으로 거대억새 파티클을 이용하여 보드를 제조하고 수지첨가량, 수지타입 및 밀도에 따른 물성을 검토하였다. 흡수율은 보드의 밀도 및 수지첨가량이 증가할수록 감소하였으며, 휨강도와 박리강도는 밀도 및 수지 첨가량이 증가할수록 파티클간 결합력이 강해져 증가하였다. 두께 팽창률은 보드의 밀도가 증가함에 따라 증가하였고 수지 첨가량이 많을수록 감소하였다. 수지타입에 따라 두께 팽창률과 흡수율은 액상 페놀수지로 제조한 보드가 더 나은 치수안정성을 보였고, 보드밀도 0.4 g/㎤ 로 제조한 경우 수지 첨가율 11~13% 일 때 휨강도는 분말상 및 액상 페놀수지 간에 차이가 없었으며, 박리강도는 액상의 페놀수지로 제조한 보드가 더 좋은 값을 나타내었다.

윌리엄 버틀러 예이츠의 A Vision은 그의 시 철학의 핵심이다. 이 책에서 설명하는 다양한 원리 중에서도, 인간의 생애를 나타내는 거대한 수레(the Great Wheel)는 가장 중심적인 시스템이다. 예이츠에게 있어서, 믿는 것은 시가 된다. 참으로 많은 예이츠의 후기 시속에서 우리는 A Vision의 시스템을 발견한다. 이 논문은 비잔티움을 소재로 하는 두 편의 시, “Sailing to Byzantium”과 “Byzantium”의 분석을 통하여, 거대한 수레의 4구역이 이 두 시의 바탕이 되는 것을 확인한다.

A patient complaining of severe pain in the right submandibular area showed a huge sialolith in radiogram. During the operation, the submandibular gland was much indurated, and large amount of pus was discharged out at an incision of the salivary gland. The removed salivary gland contained a huge sialolith in the major excretory duct of submandibular gland, which had an intact grayish-white surface in ovoid shape. In the histological examination its excretory ducts were extensively dilated without extravasation of saliva, and the involved salivary gland was almost destroyed by the granulomatous r eaction. Most of a cinar cells were d isappeared and r eplaced by ductal cells filled with exudative materials. The microsections of sialolith showed typical laminar structures of calcification containing amorphous basophilic material in the center, in which a lot of Gram positive and Gram negative microorganisms were found. In the center of sialolith numerous microorganisms were admixed with mucinous materials which were strongly positive for the antibody of mucin-1, and formed multiple colonies. In the periphery of the bacterial colonies proline rich proteins (PRPs) were condensely localized, and followed by the consistent positive reaction of transglutaminase 4 (TGase-4). These data suggest that the sialolith of this study is formed from the primary nidus of bacterial colony aggregated with salivary mucin-1 and PRPs by the crosslinking reaction of TGase-4.

Productivity of the Giant Magellan Telescope is estimated based on the annual number of papers produced by the currently operating large telescopes such as the telescope at the ESO La Silla observatory, CFHT, AAT, the Magellan telescopes, ESO VLT, Japanese Subaru, the Gemini telescopes, and the Keck telescopes. We find that the amount of papers produced by a large telescope is roughly proportional to the diameter of its primary mirror. With this fact, we estimate the SCI-paper productivity of the Giant Magellan Telescope by extrapolating the productivity of the above-mentioned large telescopes. Moreover, according to the paper written in 2001 by Benn and Sanchez, the amount of highly-cited papers produced by a large telescope is roughly proportional to the light-gathering power of the telescope or the square of the diameter. Hence, we survey the productivity of Nature-class papers of the large telescopes and extrapolate the relationship to estimate the productivity of the Nature-class papers by using the Giant Magellan telescope of a filled aperture 21.4 meters in diameter. We expect that Korean astronomers will be able to produce annually 60 SCI-class papers and 20 Nature-class papers with high scientific impact by using the telescope-time corresponding to the 10% share of the Giant Magellan Telescope.

Infrared color-color diagram of 10 giant molecular clouds are examined to explore the dust property from the COBE Diffuse Infrared Background Experiment of the 100, 140, and 240μm emission. Four of them, Taurus, Mon OB1, Gem OB1, and Chameleon, show the anti-correlation in R100/140−R140/240 plot and the horizontal distribution in R100/240−R140/240 plot, which disagree with those of theoretical calculation. These could be explained by the depletion of 100μm and the excess of 140μm emission, though no existing dust model could support them. Mean color temperature of the anti-correlation region appears to be lower than that of the linear region, whose temperatures are 15.3, 17.0 K, respectively. And the linear region shows large dispersion in the plot of intensity relation. Both imply that a star formation would be more active, but not homogeneous, in the linear region compared to the anti-correlation region.

The dentigerous cyst(DC) and giant cell granuloma(GCG) in the jaws are well known entities that have been extensively reviewed. However, a search of the literature failed to reveal simulataneous occurrence of these two lesions. We describe a case of DC displaying foci of GCG-like lesion of a 11-year-old Korean girl. The lesion exhibited the characteristic histologic features of DC, which included a lining epithelium with underlying fibromyxoid stroma. The most intersting aspect of this lesion, however, was the presence of a prominant histologic component that resembled GCG. The most probable diagnosis was GCG-like lesion in association with a DC.
