Helicobacter pylori are known as a causative agent of gastritis, gastric duodenum and peptic ulcer, and gastric cancer, and multiple drug use is associated with various side effects in patients. The discovery of antibacterial substances against H. pylori from Korean resource plants is an important substitute for antibiotics. 52 species of Korean resource plants were collected and extracted with 50% ethanol, and antibacterial activity against H. pylori was measured using the disk diffusion method. The toxicity of plant extracts to human gastric adenocarcinoma(AGS) cells was measured by MTT assay, and the level of IL-8 secreted when gastric epithelial cells were inoculated with H. pylori was measured. As a result of measuring the antibacterial activity of H. pylori, antibacterial activity was confirmed in 38 plant extracts. The plant species with the strongest antibacterial activity were Chrysanthemum indicum, Rheum rhabarbarum, Patrinia scabiosaefolia and Petasites japonicus. C. indicum was not cytotoxic to H. pyroli-infected AGS cells and showed anti-inflammatory effects. This study's results can be used to develop healthy, functional foods and medical materials.
The chemical composition of 86 species of native plants in Korea, including plants to be afforestation, was analyzed. The chemical composition of the species analyzed was different. The species with the highest extractable content was Viburnum dilatatum (3.91%), and the species with the lowest extractable content was Ligustrum lucidum (0.11%). The lignin content ranged from 12 to 39%, with an average of 25%. The species with the highest lignin content was Chaenomeles lagenaria (39.37%). Hemicellulose content ranged from 18 to 52%, with the highest species being Thuja occidentalis (51.22%) and Eucommia ulmoides (48.84%). Cellulose content ranged from 25 to 58%, and the species with the highest content were Prunus serrulata (57.67%), Diospyros kaki (57.14%), Aesculus turbinata (53.29%), Albizia julibrissin (53.02%), and Zelkova serrata (52.29%). The chemical composition was different for each use taxon of 86 plant species. The lignin content was the highest in the fruit group and the lowest in the group other than recommended species for afforestation. Cellulose content was highest in non-reforestation-recommended tree species and lowest in fruit trees. In classification according to tree height, lignin content was higher in shrubs than in tall trees, and cellulose content was highest in tall trees. Between deciduous and evergreen trees, the lignin content was high in deciduous trees (26.46%), and the cellulose content was also high in deciduous trees (44.01%). As a result of analyzing the correlation between each compound, there was a difference. There tended to be a positive correlation between extractives and lignin content. There was a negative correlation between extractives and holocellulose content, hemicellulose and cellulose. The higher extract content affected the cellulose content much more than hemicellulose. Also, the higher the lignin content, the lower the cellulose content. The species with low lignin content and high cellulose content were Diospyros kaki and Prunus serrulata var. spontanea. This result is expected to be primary data for bioenergy, pulp industry and bioindustry.
Organic scintillator is easy to manufacture a large size and the fluorescence decay time is short. However, it is not suitable for gamma measurement because it is composed of a low atomic number material. Organic scintillation detectors are widely used to check the presence or absence of radiation. The fluorescence of organic scintillators is produced by transitions between the energy levels of single molecules. In this study, an organic scintillator development study was conducted for use in gamma measurement, alternative materials for secondary solute used in basic organic scintillators were investigated, and the availability of alternative materials, detection characteristics, and neutron/gamma identification tests were performed. In other words, a secondary solute showing an improved energy transfer rate than the existing material was reported, and the performance was evaluated. 7-Diethylamino -4-methylcoumarin (DMC), selected as an alternative material, is a benzopyrone derivative in the form of colorless crystals, has high fluorescence and high quantum yield in the visible region, and has excellent light stability. In addition, it has a large Stokes shift characteristic, and solubility in solvent is good. Through this study, it was analyzed that the absorption wavelength range of DMC coincided with the emission wavelength range of PPO, which is the primary solute. Through this study, it was confirmed that the optimal concentration of DMC was 0.04wt%. As a result of performing gamma and neutron measurement tests using a DMC-based liquid scintillator, it showed good performance (FOM=1.42) compared to a commercial liquid scintillator. Therefore, the possibility of use as a secondary solute was demonstrated. Based on this, if studies on changes in the composition of secondary solute or the use of nanoparticles are conducted, it will be possible to manufacture and utilize a scintillator with improved efficiency compared to the existing scintillator.
The safe, efficient and cost-effective decommissioning and dismantling of radioactive facilities requires the accurate characterization of the radionuclide activities and dose rate environment. And it is critical across many nuclear industries to identify and locate sources of radiation accurately and quickly. One of the more challenging aspects of dealing with radiation is that you cannot see it directly, which can result in potential exposure when working in those environments. Generally, semiconductor detectors have better energy resolution than scintillation detectors, but the maximum achievable count rates are limited by long pulse signals. Whereas some high pure germanium detectors have been developed to operate at high count rates, and these HPGe detectors could obtain gamma-ray spectra at high count rates exceeding 1 Mcps. However, HPGe detectors require cooling devices to reduce the leak currents, which becomes disadvantageous when developing portable radiation detectors. Furthermore, chemicalcompound semiconductor detectors made of cadmium telluride and cadmium zinc telluride are popular, because they have good energy resolution and are available at room temperature. However, CdTe and CZT detectors develop irradiation-induced defects under intense gamma-ray fields. In this Review, we start with the fundamentals of gamma rays detection and review the recent developments in scintillators gamma-ray detectors. The key factors affecting the detector performance are summarized. We also give an outlook on the field, with emphasis on the challenges to be overcome.

최근 대추에 장님노린재에 의한 피해가 발생함에 따라 대추재배 농가들이 적절한 방제를 할 수 있도록 시기별 발생 밀도, 우점종 조사, 방제 가능 약제 선발 등의 시험을 수행하였다. 대추과원에서 발생하는 장님노린재의 발생 밀도를 2년에 걸쳐 조사한 결과, 약충은 5월 상순부터 발생 하여 7월 중순까지 발생 하였으며, 성충은 5월 하순부터 발생하여 7월 중하순까지 발생하였다. 또한 대추과원에서 발생하는 애무늬고리장님노린재와 초록장님노린재의 밀도의 경우 45개체 중 40개체가(약 89%) 애무늬고리장님노린재 인 것으로 조사되어 대추나무를 가해하는 장님노린재 중 우점종은 애무늬고리장님노린재 인 것으로 나타났다. 대추과원에서 장님노린재 방제에 활용할 수 있는 살충제에 관한 정보를 제공하기 위해 9 종 살충제들을 대상으로 한 야외시험에서 pyrifluquinazon, deltamethrin, diazinon, dinotefuran, etofenprox, fenitrothion, bifenthrin 7종 이 80% 이상 살충력을 나타냈다. 따라서 본 시험에서 조사된 살충제를 이용하여 대추나무 발아 직전부터 방제를 하면 대추과원에서 장님노린재 방제가 가능 할 것으로 판단된다.
Bamboo forests are fast-growing, renewable resources, and their carbon sequestration potential has attracted increasing attention. Although bamboo can be used for many purposes, bamboo forests in Korea represent a generally underutilized resource. The main objective here was to perform an assessment of the physical and mechanical characteristics of different species of bamboo found in Korea. The main species of domestic bamboo are Phyllostachys bambusoides, P. pubescens, and P. nigra; we measured the air-dried density for each of the species, with obtained values of 0.89 g/cm2, 0.79 g/cm2, and 0.83 g/cm2, respectively, giving the density order of P. bambusoides > P. pubescens > P. nigra, with P. bambusoides having the highest density. We then measured the compressive strength of each species, which were 802.84 kgf/cm2, 624.69 kgf/cm2, and 743.77 kgf/cm2, respectively, in the order of P. bambusoides > P. pubescens > P. nigra, with P. bambusoides having the highest compressive strength. Volume and maximum load decreased with increasing node height in the three bamboo species, whereas air-dried density and compressive strength increased. Our results thus add to the pool of essential knowledge about Korean bamboo species, and consequently to the development of a potentially valuable domestic resource in Korea.
최근 안전한 먹거리에 대한 관심 제고와 고품질 대추 생산에 대한 관심 급증으로 친환경적인 해충방제법의 필요성이 높아지고 있다. 친환경적 해충방제를 위하여 비가림하우스 별 방충망을 설치하여 해충방제 효과와 과실 생육을 조사하였다. 시험에 사용된 방충방 규격은 각각 25, 18, 6mesh로 대추나무잎혹파리, 장님노린재, 복숭아심식나 방의 차단효과를 보았다. 대추나무잎혹파리의 경우 피해엽율이 1.2%, 10.8%, 14.3%, 무처리구는 15%였으며 장님노린 재의 경우 피해눈율이 6.9%, 5.8%, 20.41%, 28.2%였고, 심식나방은 피해과율이 0.0%, 1.0%, 0.0%, 32.0%로 나타났다. 방충망처리에 따른 대추생육은 처리구와 무처리구에서 차이가 거의 없었다. 대추재배농가의 방충망 도입이 해충 방제에 효과가 큰 것으로 판단되며 문제가 되고 있는 세가지 해충을 모두 방제하기 위해서는 25mesh로 처리하는 것이 가장 효과적인 것으로 판단된다.
The fumigation toxicity of carbonyl sulfide to T. castaneum as a storage grain pest was evaluated. Carbonyl sulfide (COS) is registered in Australia for microorganism present in soil, root and fertilizer. the fumigation activity of carbonyl sulfide was investigated in 12 L desiccator for 24 h exposure to eggs, larvae, pupae, adults of T. castaneum. Eggs and pupae were showed 87.3% and 95.6% mortality for 25 mg/L of COS, respectively. Larvae and adults were investigated with 80.0% and 100.0% mortality at 15 mg/L treatment, respectively. Therefore, the eggs of T. castaneum showed the highest tolerance to COS.
The fumigation activity of phosphine (PH3) to T. castaneum as a storage grain pest was evaluated. The lethal concentration time (LCT) value of each developmental stage (egg, early larva, late larva, pupa and adult) of T. castaneum was analyzed in 12 L desiccator. At the T. castaneum larva stages, exposure for 4 h showed low LCT value, especially in early stage larvae (LCT99 = 0.32 mg·h/L) which is very high susceptibility to PH3. However, T. castaneum eggs were observed very high tolerance to PH3 at LCT99 77.47 mg·h/L. Therefore, the fumigant activity of PH3 against T. castaneum can be found to be significantly different depending on developmental stage.
This study investigated the fumigant activity of phosphine (PH3) on 2 kinds of mealybug (Pseudococcus longispinus and P. orchidicola (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae)) adults and nymphs. All of the two mealybugs adults showed higher LCT99 values than nymphs, and P. longispinus showed higher tolerance than P. orchidicola in a 12 L desiccator. The absorption of phosphine on 13 nursery plants showed 12.2~41.5% difference depending on the plant. All of the mealybugs treated with phosphine 2 mg/L in 0.5 m3 fumigation chamber for 4 h showed 100% fumigant activity, except P. longispinus adult (approximately 90% at bottom part). However, when the exposure time was increased to 24 h, all of them showed 100% mortality. In the treatment of 10 m3 container, the 24 h treatment of phosphine showed 100% mortality to P. longispinus and P. orchidicola adults and nymphs. In all the experiments, no phytotoxicity of phosphine observed on 13 plants until 1 month after treatment.
최근 대추 재배 면적이 5,160ha로 전국적으로 면적이 계속 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 대추의 재배면적이 증가하면서 기존에 대추에 발생하지 않던 다양한 해충들 또한 발생을 하고 있는데 장님노린재의 경우 2015년 대추에 피해를 준다는 것이 확인 되었다. 현재 대추에 발생하는 장님노린재류는 두 종으로 애무늬고리장님노린재와 초록장님노린재이다. 애무늬고리장님노린재와 초록장님노린재는 대추 발아기부터 새순을 흡즙하여 피해를 주는데 피해를 받은 새순과 잎은 정상적으로 생육하지 못하고 잎에 구멍이 뚫리는 등 비정상적인 생육을 하게 된다. 장님노린재의 경우 거의 모든 대추과원에서 발생을 하고 있으며, 현재까지 대추과원에서 정확한 발생 기간과 방제 약제에 대한 연구가 이루어지지 않았다. 따라서 본 연구에서 2017~2018년에 걸쳐 2년 동안 발생 소장을 조사 하였으며, 시판되고 있는 농약 10종을 대상으로 약제 선발 시험을 수행하였다. 그 결과 시기별 밀도 조사의 경우 약충은 5월 상순부터 발생을 시작하여 7월 중하순까지 발생을 하였으며, 성충은 5월 하순부터 발생을 시작하여 7월 중하순까지 발생을 하였다. 또한 2017년의 경우 약충은 5월부터 꾸준히 발생량이 증가하다 7월 상순 많은 강우로 인해 밀도가 크게 감소하였으며, 2018년의 경우 5월과 7월에 발생량이 많고 6월에 발생량이 급감하여 마치 2세대가 나타나는 듯한 현상을 보였다. 물론 이는 더욱더 시간을 두고 지속적인 관찰이 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 약제 선발 시험의 경우 10종의 약제 중 페니트로티온 등 6종의 약제에서 방제가가 80% 이상인 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 대추에 발생하고 있는 장님 노린재의 피해를 줄이기 위해서는 장님노린재가 발생하기 시작하는 5월부터 방제를 시작하여 초기밀도를 낮추어야하며, 이동성이 좋은 장님노린재의 성충이 외부로부터 유입이 될 수 있으므로 성충이 발생하는 7월까지는 꾸준한 관찰을 해 주어야만 그 피해를 줄 일 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
A combination using phosphine (PH3) and ethyl formate (EF) was performed to compensate for the disadventages (long exposure time and phytotoxicity) of a single substance. P. longisipinus was more susceptible to mixed phosphine and ethyl formate than P. orchidicola in 12 L dessicator. Mortality of mixed treatment was higher than aggregated mortalities that treated individually, so it indicated to have a synergic effect on each other. Ethyl formate was showed higher adsorption rate than phosphine on imported nursery plants and showed differences depending on the plant. P. longispinus and P. orchidicola was showed 100% mortality when phosphine and ethyl formate was treated as 1 g/m3 and 30 g/m3 for 4 hour in 0.5 m3 fumigation chamber and in 10 m3 container. Phytotoxicity was evaluated to mixture of phosphine and ethyl formate at 1 month after treatment.
Currently, Carposina sasakii (peach fruit moth) is considered economically important pest in organic jujube orchards. However, until now, research has not been conducted to control C. sasakii. The control period is very important for moth larvae to contact organic materials. Therefore, this study were conducted to determine when control using organic materials selected in 2017. In the method, parafin oil selected in 2017 was treated seven times at interval of seven days, and each treatment interval was seven days until 7th treatment. As a result, when the control started at the early to mid July, the control values were about 75%, and when the control started at late July to mid August, the control values were over 85%. However, when the control started after mid August, the control value was less than 30%. Therefore, in order to effectively control C. sasakii, control must be started by early August.
생대추가 신소득 작목으로 부각되면서 재배지가 확대되고 있으나 우리나라 장마기와 최근 이상기후로 인해 대추 수분·수정 및 착과에 문제 가 발생하고 있는 실정이다. 이에 생대추 재배를 위해 도입된 비가림하우스에서 서양종 꿀벌과 서양뒤영벌을 이용하여 화분매개곤충의 활동 특성 과 착과 효율에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 구명하고자 본 시험을 수행하였다. 대추 복조 품종을 대상으로 비가림하우스에 망실을 씌워 서양종 꿀벌 과 서양뒤영벌을 2016년 6월 1일부터 7월 25일까지 약 55일정도 방사하였다. 서양종 꿀벌은 주로 오후에 활동이 많았으나 서양뒤영벌의 활동은 시간에 관계없이 다소 균일하였다. 대추 신초 가지의 착과율을 조사한 결과 방화곤충을 차단한 무처리 5.5% 대비 서양종 꿀벌은 10.2%, 서양뒤 영벌은 8.9%로 대추 비가림하우스내 화분매개곤충 활용시 착과량 증진으로 농가 소득증대에 기여할 것으로 생각된다.
