The genus Gonioctena Chevrolat is distributed in the Holarctic and Oriental regions, with more than 80 species. Many species of the genus have great similarity in external morphology and coloration, often cause misidentifications. Thus, the shape of the aedeagus is mainly used to distinguish closely related species. Fifty-four species, more than half of the known taxa, occur in northeastern Asia, including 18 species in the Russian Far East, 29 in China, 11 in Korea, and 18 in Japan. Among these, G. gracilicornis Kraatz (type locality: Amur) is widely distributed in Russia, China, Mongolia and Korea. However, extensive investigation on Gonioctena in Korea revealed that the Korean population of G. gracilicornis differs from that of the Russian by the coloration, the puncturation of pronotum, and the shape of aedeagus. The purpose of this study is to describe a new species of Gonioctena that was previously misidentified as G. gracilicornis. A key to Korean Gonioctena, distribution, and host plant are also provided.

Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP₃) plays an important role in the release of Cα²+ from intracellular stores into the cytoplasm in a variety of cell types. IP₃ translocation dynamics have been studied in response to many types of cell signals. However, the dynamics of cytosolic IP₃ in salivary acinar cells are unclear. A green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged pleckstrin homology domain (PHD) was constructed and introduced into a phospholipase C δ1 (PLC δ1) transgenic mouse, and then the salivary acinar cells were isolated. GFP-PHD was heterogeneously localized at the plasma membrane and intracellular organelles in submandibular gland and parotid gland cells. Application of trypsin, a G protein-coupled receptor activator, to the two types of cells caused an increase in GFP fluorescence in the cell cytoplasm. The observed time course of trypsin-evoked IP₃movement in acinar cells was independent of cell polarity, and the fluorescent label showed an immediate increase throughout the cells. These results suggest that GFP-PHD in many tissues of transgenic mice, including non-cultured primary cells, can be used as a model for examination of IP₃intracellular dynamics.

분리층 두께가 5 μm이며 Si/Al 몰비가 1.5인 Na형 faujasite 제올라이트 분리막을 이차성장 공정에 의하여 제조하였고, 투과부에 13X 제올라이트 흡착제 충진 전후의 진공모드에서의 CO2/N2 분리거동을 CO2/N2 몰비가 1인 혼합기체에 대하여 30℃에서 평가하였다. 충진된 13X 제올라이트 흡착제는 CO2 투과도와 CO2/N2 선택도를 동시에 증진시켰다. 이 현상은 13X 제올라이트 흡착제 충진이 다공성 α-알루미나 지지체의 기공채널을 통한 CO2 탈출을 증진시킴으로써 faujasite 제올라이트/α-알루미나 상계면에서의 CO2 탈착을 증진시켰기 때문으로 설명되었다. 본 논문으로부터 흡착제와 분리막의 혼성화는 일반적으로 보여지는 선택도와 투과도의 역비례 관계를 획기적으로 개선할 방법임이 확인되었다.

본 논문에서 사고로 누출된 삼중수소에 의한 농작물 오염평가 모델을 제시한다. 본 논문에서 제시된 모델은 동적격실모델로써 작물의 성장 방정식을 도입한 것이 특징이며, 이로부터 삼중수소 피폭시 작물의 성장단계에 따른 오염 정도를 예측할 수 있다. 시스템은 크게 대기, 토양, 작물격실로 구성되며, 격실의 삼중수소 농도 변화는 비선형 상미분방정식으로 표현되므로 시간에 따른 각 격실의 삼중수소 농도가 계산된다. 모델의 검증을 위해 배추 및 무에 대한 삼중수소 피폭 실험을 수행하였다. 생육단계별 오염 효과를 조사하기 위해 각기 다른 생육단계에 있는 배추와 무를 독립적으로 HTO 증기에 노출시켰으며, 피폭 후 오염된 작물의 tissue free water tritium(TFWT) 및 organically bound tritium(OBT) 농도를 측정하였다. 측정된 작물 부위별 삼중수소 농도 데이터와 모델 예측 값은 대체로 잘 일치하였다.

This study investigated a suitable method that could be applied for Asian chain fern [Woodwardia japonica (L. f.) Sm.] to propagate gametophytes and promote sporophyte formation. The gametophytes used in all experiments were obtained from germinated spores in vitro and were subcultured at 8-week intervals. The most appropriate media for gametophyte propagation was identified by culturing 300 ㎎ of gametophyte in Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium (1/8, 1/4, 1/2, 1, 2), and Knop medium for 8 weeks. As a result, fresh weight of the gametophyte was increased by 56.7-fold on MS medium. Moreover, antheridium formation as well as gametophyte growth was improved on MS medium, especially. To improve the sporophyte formation ex vitro, 1.0 g of gametophyte was ground with distilled water and spread on eight combinations onto four different culture mediums, such as bed soil, peat moss, perlite and decomposed granite. Then generation and growth of sporophytes were investigated after cultivation for 10 weeks. As a result of this experiment, peat moss had a promotive effect of sporophyte formation at single-use and mixed culture soils. In particular, a mixture of bed soil, peat moss and perlite in a 1:1:1 ratio (v/v/v) led to the accelerated formation (782.5 ea/pot) and the frond growth of sporophytes. This included increases in length and width of fronds. However, promotive effect of gametophyte growth and sporophyte formation was not found at single-use and treatment with high ratio of bed soil.

This study was conducted to apply a horticultural therapy program to childhood cancer patients, to analyze their psychosocial changes and thus to examine its possibility as a way to manage the recovery of childhood cancer patients. This study was conducted on patients who were diagnosed with childhood cancer, and they were divided into the experimental group (8 patients who visited H association offices located in 3 cities and participated in the horticultural program) and the control group (5 patients who did not participate in the program). The homogeneity between the two groups before conducting the program was compared, and there was no statistically significant difference, which proved that the two groups were homogeneous. After conducting the program, the score of social immaturity, one of the sub-categories of problem behaviors, of the experimental group was statistically significantly lower than that of the control group (p=.019). Changes before and after the program within the groups were compared, and the somatization score (p=.039) of the experimental group (p=.039) after the program was 1.13, down from 2.13 before the program. The social immaturity score (p=.017) of the experimental group after the program was 1.00, down from 2.63 before the program, and the attention problem score (p=.026) of the group after the program was 1.25, down from 2.50 before the program. The total problem behavior score (p=.034) of the experimental group after the program was 9.63, down from 18.50 before the program, showing a statistically significant decrease. The cumulative subjective mood score (p=.000) of the experimental group throughout the entire sessions after the program was 7.82, up from 6.99 before the program, showing a statistically significant increase. Therefore, it can be concluded that the horticultural therapy program developed based on the ‘relaxationsocial support-cognitive behavior’ strategy was effective to reduce the negative psychosocial state of childhood cancer patients.
