This study aimed to evaluate the genotoxicity of Litsea japonica fruit-hexane extract (LJF-HE). In order to examine the genotoxicity, we carried out bacterial reverse mutation assay, chromosome aberration assay, and a micronucleus induction (MN) test according to the OECD and the Korea Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) toxicity test guidelines. In the bacterial reverse mutation assay, no significant increase in revertant colonies, nor bacterial toxicity, was observed in the LJF-HE treatment group, regardless of the absence or presence of metabolic activation by the S9 mixture. However, in the positive control group, revertant colony counts were shown to be more than twice that of the negative control group. The chromosome aberration test showed that the repetition rate of abnormal chromosome aberration was less than 5%, regardless of the treatment time, and with or without the S9 mixture. No significant change was observed when (p < 0.05) compared with the negative control group. The micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes (MNPCE) repetition rate of the polychromatic erythrocytes (PCE) showed no significant changes when compared with the negative control group (p < 0.05). The PCE portion of total erythrocytes also showed no significant changes (p < 0.05). These results showed that LJF-HE had no significant genotoxic effects.

한국 농촌 경관은 논과 밭을 중심으로 넓은 경작지와 함께 숲이 어우러진 다소 복잡한 경관구조를 나타내고 있으며 숲은 농경지와 산림 서식지 간 생물 이동과 종자 전파를 원활하게 하는 생태통로와 징검다리 역할을 함으로써 피난처 역할을 수행하는데, 이 연구에서는 곤충 개체군의 이동 현상을 파악하기 위한 기초연구로 각 서식지 간 다양성 양상을 시공간적으로 살펴보았다. 조사는 충남 (금산)과 충북 (옥천), 전남 (해남, 영광) 등 4지역에서 2014년 3월부터 8월까지 실시하였으며 나방은 자외선등 트랩을 딱정벌레는 함정트랩을 설치하여 채집하였다. 딱정벌레는 35과 225종 2,457개체, 나방은 17과 141종 403개체가 채집되었으며 지역별로는 딱정 벌레 종 수와 개체수 모두 충청지역에서 높은 값을 나타내었 으나 나방은 두 지역간 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 서식지 유형별 종 수와 개체수 양상은 산림에서 가장 높았고 다음으 로 과수원, 논 순이었다. 서식지 간 식성의 차이를 살펴본 결과 산림에서는 초식성곤충이 과수원과 논에서는 포식성 곤충 출현비율이 높은 경향을 나타냈다. 나방은 전남과 충청의 출현이 동일한 반면 딱정벌레는 시간차이가 있는 것으로 나타났으며 서식지별로 숲, 과수원, 논 등에서 모두 봄과 여름에 증가하는 추세를 보였으나, 논에서는 늦여름에 많은 개체가 확인되었다. 딱정벌레 역시 나방과 유사하였지만 숲에서 과수원이나 논보다 늦게 개체수가 늘어나는 양상을 나타내었다. 추후 농경생태계 내 다른 서식지 형태 사이에서 분류 군의 출현양상에 대한 장기간 조사를 통하여 이번 연구에서 얻어진 결과에 대한 면밀한 검토가 필요할 것으로 생각한다.

The aim of the present work was to develop simultaneous methods of quantification of carazolol, azaperone, and azaperol residues in livestock and fishery products using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Samples were extracted from beef, pork, chicken, egg, milk and shrimp using acetonitrile (ACN); while flat fish and eel were extracted using 80% ACN. For purification, ACN saturated n-hexane was used to remove fat composition. The standard calibration curves showed good linearity as correlation coefficients; r 2 was > 0.99. Average recoveries expressed were within the range of 67.9-105% for samples fortified at three different levels (0.5 × MRL, 1 × MRL and 2 × MRL). The correlation coefficient expressed as precision was within the range of 0.55- 7.93%. The limit of quantification (LOQ) was 0.0002-0.002 mg/kg. The proposed analytical method showed high accuracy and acceptable sensitivity based on Codex guideline requirements (CAC/GL71-2009). This method can be used to analyze the residue of carazolol, azaperone, and azaperol in livestock and fishery products.

Twenty-nine wetlands (20 river type and 9 lake type wetlands) in Gyeongsangnam-do were investigated to understand the characteristics of fish assemblages by the wetland type and to suggest management strategies. As a result, 10.3±4.8 species were collected from river type wetlands on average (±SD) and 9.1±4.1 species from lake type wetlands. Thus, there was no significant difference in the number of species between them (Mann-Whitney U test, P>0.05). However, the species that constitute the fish assemblage showed statistically significant differences between the two wetland types (PERMANOVA, Pseudo-F=2.9555, P=0.007). Furthermore, the species that contribute the most to each type of fish assemblage were Zacco koreanus (river type, 28.51%) and Lepomis macrochirus (lake type, 23.21%), respectively (SIMPER). The results of the NMDS analysis using the fish assemblage by place classified the species into three groups (river type, lake type, and others). The current wetland management is only focused on endangered species, but this study shows a difference in fish assemblage by wetland type. Therefore, a management system based information on endemic species, exotic species and major contribution species should be provided. Furthermore, the classification of some types of wetlands based on the present topography was found to be ambiguous, and wetland classification using living creatures can be used as a complementary method. This study has limitations because only two types of wetlands were analyzed. Therefore, a detailed management method that can represent every type of wetland should be prepared through the research of all types of wetlands in the future.

기후 변화로 인한 수온의 상승은 어류 서식지에 영향을 미친다. 수온의 변화는 어류 생리 거의 모든 부분에 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져 있다. 기후 변화에 따른 수온의 상승은 산소 용해도의 감소 및 산소 운반 헤모글로빈의 결합 능 력의 감소로 인해 저산소증을 초래할 수 있다. 본 연구는 대서양 연어 (Salmo salar) 치어 성장의 최적수온 (15°C)보다 고 수온 (20°C)에 사육 시, 대서양 연어 치어의 건강상태를 평가 하기 위해 수행되었다. 평가 방법은 NGS RNAseq 분석방법을 이용하여 생체지표유전자를 개발하고, RT-qPCR 분석을 이용하여 생체지표유전자의 발현양상을 조사하는 것이다. 개발한 생체지표유전자로는 interferon alpha-inducible protein 27-like protein 2A transcript variant X3, protein L-Myc- 1b-like, placenta growth factor-like transcript variant X1, fibroblast growth factor receptor-like 1 transcript variant X1, transferrin, intelectin, thioredoxin-like, c-type lectin lectoxin-Thr1- like, ladderlectin-like 및 calponin-1 등이다. 선택된 생체지표 유전자는 NGS RNAseq 분석을 통해 수온변화에 민감하게 발현한 유전자들이며, RT-qPCR 분석을 통한 이들 유전자의 발현 양상은 NGS RNAseq 분석을 통한 발현 양상과 매우 유사하게 나타났다.

This study was conducted in 2014 in the Gangjin area of Jeonnam province for the purpose of confirming the potential of Kenaf as an alternative feed crop of rice. The weather and soil conditions were favorable and there was no adverse effect on the growth of Kenaf. The amount of seeding was given at 10 kg, 15 kg and 20 kg. As the seeding volume increased, plant height and dry matter yield increased, and stem diameter and number of nodes decreased. The highest growth rate was observed between 75 and 90 days from the date of planting(p<0.05). As the growth progressed, stem rate increased and leaf rate decreased(p<0.05). Increased amount of seeding and growth resulted in decreased CP and TDN and increased ADF and NDF, which resulted in the decreased economic value of Kenaf as a feed crop. The result of increasing the use of organic fertilizer to 20 kg and 30 kg was similar to increasing the amount of seeding. As organic fertilizer usage increased, dry matter yield and growth rate improved(p<0.05).
