We investigated the floral resources of the honeybee (Apis mellifera)bypollenDNA metabarcoding as the first step in honeybee conservation. We attempted to identify as many floral resources and as wide resource availability as possible in areas and compared the richness of floral resources between forests and national parks. We found that both forest and national parks can sufficiently support honeybee floral resources; however, national parks were more stable habitats with more complex vegetation structure than those of forests. Also, honeybee’s preferences for floral resources were determined using niche breadth, niche overlap, and network analysis among the floral resources in forest areas. Quercus and Actinidia were the most frequently detected taxa of pollen resources in both forests and national parks by pollen metabarcoding. Even though we anticipated that more various pollen resource taxa would be found in national parks than forests, no differences in the number pollen resource taxa were detected between them. According to the niche overlap analysis result, the honeybee preferred the pollen resources in both forests and national parks, and the co-occurrence pattern analysis of pollen resource taxa in both forests and national parks showed a simple network. Altogether, our findings suggested that DNA metabarcoding of pollen collected by the honeybee can provide useful information on the flowering plants in a given area. As the use of floral pollen resources varies spatially and temporally, periodic monitoring of pollen resources can identify which pollen is required to maintain the health of honeybee colonies.

An algorithm to automatically extract coordinate and time information from optical observation data of geostationary orbit satellites (GEO satellites) or geosynchronous orbit satellites (GOS satellites) is developed. The optical wide-field patrol system is capable of automatic observation using a pre-arranged schedule. Therefore, if this type of automatic analysis algorithm is available, daily unmanned monitoring of GEO satellites can be possible. For data acquisition for development, the COMS1 satellite was observed with 1-s exposure time and 1-m interval. The images were grouped and processed in terms of “action”, and each action was composed of six or nine successive images. First, a reference image with the best quality in one action was selected. Next, the rest of the images in the action were geometrically transformed to fit in the horizontal coordinate system (expressed in azimuthal angle and elevation) of the reference image. Then, these images were median-combined to retain only the possible non-moving GEO candidates. By reverting the coordinate transformation of the positions of these GEO satellite candidates, the final coordinates could be calculated.

Laparoendoscopic single-site surgery (LESS) is helpful if not an evidence of suspicious malignancy in huge adnexa tumors. This approach might be reasonable alternative to conventional laparoscopic surgery. We report two cases with LESS for huge cystic adnexal tumors in whole abdomen. A 58 years old multigravida woman in menopause underwent removal of a huge cystic adnexal mass that occupied her entire abdomen by LESS.(ca.5200ml aspiration) A 15 years old single nulligravida woman had a huge cystic adnexal tumor in whole abdomen reaching to the level of the xyphoid process. A needle through the transumbilical single port was inserted directly under the mass. Subsequently, 8000 ml of cystic fluid was aspirated without spillage.

農業構造變化와 農業金融問題의 再認識

This study presents crucial features of structural changes in agriculture and their applications to farm finance problems. The rapid growth of economy since the 1960's in Korea, has accelerated the pace of industrialization and urbanization. Its influences have caused agricultural transformation. The process of structural transformation has been based on the interrelationships between agriculture and industry through the market for capital and labor. The rapid economic development has stimulated a great number of rural people to migrate to large cities, so the number of agricultural workers has begun to decline since 1968. Therefore, in the past, labor was the most important input of agricultural production. Nowadays, because of the shortage of labor, observations concerning the relative changes of resource inputs in agricultural production indicate that capital acts as a major factor in the substitution for labor in the expansion of agricultural output. At the same time, wide-scale substitution of capital for labor has come about because of the technological progress based on labor-saving and capital-augmentation. On the other hand, as economic development continues to increase nation's per capita income, the commodities with higher income-elasticity, which are produced mainly for market by specialized producers have also increased rapidly. Thus, increased technological progress and marketing functions have contributed to structural change, namely, the farmers purchase more of their inputs which, in turn, encourage the changes in the financial structure of the farm sector in Korea. In order to adapt to the rapid structural changes farmers are required to have a larger amounts of capital than they have had in the past, so their liquidity position is increasing. The rapidity with which these developments emerged has created problems with some credit agencies financing farmers. However, it has been generally assumed that in subsistence agriculture rural people are too poor to save, and farm finance problems have received relatively little attention. But now, on the demand side of capital, modernizing agriculture requires large infusions of credit to finance the use of purchased inputs. On the supply side of capital, the experimental data developed in Korea recently showed that rural households have save a significant part of their incomes even though per capita incomes were quite low. This situation indicates that in farm finance Korean agriculture has arrived at the threshold of a new era. The changes in the financial structure of agriculture necessitate us to examine some of the accompanying problems and implications. From the individual farmer's standpoint farm financial management will become more important and will consume a larger proportion of the operator's time. Credit agencies will meet more nearly the challenges of greatly increased credit needs, and must perform the function of transferring savings between sectors, between regions and between income classes. To insure economic progress and an equitable distribution of its profits, policy makers should prepare to create and nurture a strong appropriate institutional program.

The pulmonary function and changes of blood gas tensions and pH in the athletes have been reported but are fragmentary as to require more complete studies including all the pulmonary parameters and blood gas tensions especially at the early part of 20 years of age. This study was aimed to elucidate the pulmonary function at the rest and the changes of venous blood gas tension and pH after the exercise in the athletes of physical education students. The subjects chosen for this study were 15 athletes of physical education students (special group) of 21-25 years of age. The athletes had at least four years of exercise careers, and were compared with 12 non-athletes of physical education students (general group) who had not been subjected to any form of rigorous training program. All the subject were directed to perform running on the treadmill for three minutes under the condition of 15% grade and 5 MPH. The venous blood samples were taken at the rest as well as at 0, 5, 10 and 20 minutes after the exercise to check the changes of Pco_2, Po_2 and pH during the recovery period. The venous blood Pco_2, Po_2 and pH were determined using the Model 175 Automatic Blood Gas Analyzer by Corning Co., and the pulmonary function using the computerized spirometer. The results obtained were compared with the general group and summarized as follows: The special group exhibited higher values of the pulmonary function except FVC compared with the general group, and particularly FEV_0·5% and FEV_1% were significantly different. The venous Po_2 was decreased immediately after the exercise, but increased during the recovery period. The special group generally showed higher oxygen partial pressure than the general group. The venous Pco_2 in contrast to the oxygen increased immediately after the exercise, but decreased during the recovery period. The special group showed lower carbon dioxide partial pressure. Blood pH was significantly decreased from the resting value after the exercise and returned to the resting value at 20 minutes. In the special group, however, the change of pH was less than in the general group.

Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes ('1°ILs) interact most closely with tumor cells and thus are more likely to reflect tumor host interactions accurately. But it is unknown whether such T cells are nonspecific inflammatory cells or a subset of specific host immune responses. In this study, there was no clear correlation between the infiltration of T lymphocytes in stomach cancer and the overexpression of c-ErbB-2 or increasing class I MHC expression on tumor cells. A positive correlation was seen between the presence of TILs in the tumor and tumors with diploidy by flow cytometric DNA analysis. The proliferative responses of Ills stimulated with IL-2, anti-CD3 mAb, or both were examined. When compared to normal mucosal-associated lymphoid tissue lymphocytes, the proliferative response of TILs to high dose IL-2 was minimal. A similarly poor response to anti-CD3 mAb plus IL-2 was also observed. The freshly isolated TILs exhibit reduced ability to proliferate in response to IL-2, anti-CD3 mAb or both. The microenvironment of the tumor suppresses the proliferative capacity of the TILs. The mechanism of this suppression remains unknown. It could be mediated by suppressor cells, by soluble substances within the tumor, or both. To examine this question, supernatants of stomach cancer cells (SNSNU-1) were tested for the presence of immunosuppressive factors. Human peripheral blood T-cells and tumor-draining lymph node lymphocytes (TDLNL) were incubated for 3 days with SNSNU-1 and then assessed for proliferative responses to PMA, anti-CD28 mAb, or both and for the inducibility to express IFN- r or IL-4 mRNA to PMA. Peripheral blood T-cells pretreated with SNSNU-1 were unable to proliferate in response to PMA, anti-CD28 mAb or both. SNSNU-1 also produces inhibitory activities of TDLNL proliferative response to PMA or anti-CD28 mAb and PMA (49%, 52%, respectively). In contrast, culture supernatants obtained from HEp-2, K562 or Daudi showed normal proliferative responsiveness of peripheral blood T-cells and TDLNL by PMA, anti-CD28 mAb or both.

Background and Objectives: Degradation of basement membranes and extracelluar matrix is a essential step in tumor cell migration, invasion and metastasis formation. Two types of Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), MMP-2 and MMP-9 are active in the digestion of type Ⅳ collagen, the main constituent of the basement membrane. Based on this background, we investigated the expression patterns of Type Ⅳ collagenase (MMP-2 and MMP-9) in squamous cell carcinoma, adenoid (acantholytic) squamous cell carcimoma, and its precancerous conditions, actinic keratosis and Bowen's disease by immunohistochemical technique. Materials and Methods: Formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissues from 5 actinic keratosis, 5 Bowen's diseases, 5 adenoid squamous cell carcinoma, and 5 squamous cell carcinoma were immunolabelled with monoclonal antibodies directed against MMP-2 and MMP-9. Result: For MMP-2, actinic keratosis, Bowen's disease, adenoid squamous cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma was expressed to relative low level in tumor cells. Bowen's disease showed a negative staining for MMP-9, but in microinvasive area of actinic keratosis and adenoid lining cells of adenoid squamous cell carcinoma was a positive staining or MMP-9. In Bowen's disease, squamous cell carcinoma, and adenoid squamous cell carcinoma, dyskeratotic cells and acantholytic cells were stained for MMP-2 but for MMP-9, only in adenoid squamous cell carcinoma. Conclusion: This finding suggested that MMP-9 may be related to tumor invasion to surrounding stroma and that MMP-2 and MMP-9 may be involves in the apoptotic process of the tumor cells.
