In this study, the elevational distribution of breeding birds in Seoraksan National Park, Korea was investigated. Forty-six species of birds were documented from line transect surveys taken from Seorakdong at 230 m above sea level (a.s.l.) to the Daechungbong summit at 1708 m asl. Birdspecies richness and diversity were highest in Seorakdong and lowest at the Daechungbong summit. As elevation increased, bird species richness and diversity decreased, with a humped-shape trend being observed between 700 m and 1200 m a.s.l. Stepwise analyses revealed that breeding bird species diversity indices were significantly negatively correlated with elevation (r² = 0.327, P < 0.001) and positively correlated with vegetational coverage (r² = 0.324, P = 0.046). Higher elevations supported fewer birds than low and intermediate elevations. Projections at the local scale, including data on behavior and habitat use by birds, will be necessary for optimal conservation and management of the bird communities in Seoraksan National Park.

Background and Objectives : As the authors experienced 2 cases of male genital self-mutilation while psychotic, investigated with psychiatric points of view including general and psychiatric characteristics, family background, Psychodynamics of genital self-mutilation in Korea. Materials and Methods : Among total 20 cases of the genital self-mutilation, 4 accident-caused cases were excluded. Results : Epidemiological data showed that the most of the genital self-mutilation cases are twenties(56.3%); most are sing1e(68.5%) and the lower socio- economic c1asses(43.8%), the proportion of believers(31.2%) are somewhat larger than of those don't have any religions; most(50.0%) have no occupation. The familial background appeared that the most of them have grown up under widow mother's care(45.5%) and in some other places than their own homes(45.5%) and that there are relatively more first son (45.5%) among them. In terms of the mutilation types and instruments, transection of penis type were committed most frequent1y(93.8%), mostly by knives(68.8%). The formal diagnoses were mainly schizophrenia(87.5%) and schizoid personality disorder(12.5%). Major symptoms at the time of the act were delusion and/or hallucmation(62.5%) and depressive state(43.7%). Psychodynamically, lots of cases could be explained as to punish failures in the male ro1e(21.9%), related to re1igiosity(15.6%), and the wish to be or delusion of being fema1e(12.5%). Conclusion : Psychiatric investigation on the cases of genital self-mutilation reported in Korea suggests that the risk factors for the selfUmutilation on the genitalia are the deprivation of the early experiences required for personality development, Presence of psychotic disorder or depression, identity confusion, and the guilty feelings toward sexual aggression.

Objective : Weight gain is one of the common side effects of antipsychotics and it has been known that the quality of life is decreased by weight gain. Therefbre the purpose of this study is to compare weight gain among the antipsychotics, which are frequently used in the clinical practice. Methods : We performed a retrospective chart review of 124 patients with schizophrenia who were treated at least 12 weeks with typical antipsychotics (chlorpromazine and halopehdol) or atypical antipsychotics (risperidone, olanzapine, and clozapine). They were divided into three groups as treated with chlorpromazine (N=44), with haloperidol (N=60), and with atypical antipsychotics (N=20) and body weight and Body Mass Index (BMI) were compared at O (Baseline), 8 and 12 week between the three groups. Additionally, we examined possible correlations of changes in body weight with baseline factors. Results : 1) Significant change in body weight and BMI were found during 12 weeks in all groups, received different kinds of antipsychotics but there were no significant differences between three groups. 2) Weight gain was prominent within 8 weeks in the treatment, but not significant after then in all the three groups. 3) Lower body weight in baseline was correlated with more weight gain with the treatment with antipsychotics. Conclusions: Antipsychotics were associated with weight gain in patients with schizophrenia, Particularly in the early stage of treatment. Therefore to increase the quality of life and improve the compliance of medication in treatment of schizophrenia and other psychotic disorder, we must choice medication which are consistent with a individuality

Tree Species Preference and Inter-specific Difference of Foraging Maneuver, Trees and Location among Four Canopy-dwelling Birds at High-elevation Temperate Deciduous Forest in Mt. Jumbongsan

Chan-Ryul Park 한국통합생물학회 2005 Animal cells and systems Vol.9 No.1

This study was conducted to reveal tree species preference and inter-specific difference of foraging behavior among four canopy-dwelling birds at forest dominated by Quercus mongolica, Acer pseudosieboldian and Carpinus cordata at 1,000 meters above sea level during breeding season of birds from 1995 to 1997 in Mt. Jumbongsan. Breeding birds were about 25 species and dominant birds were Erithacus cyane, Parus ater and Parus palustris. A relatively high number of bush-nesters can be a characteristic of breeding bird community at study area. Three gleaners (Tits, P. varius, P. palustris and P. ater) selectively preferred the trees irrespective of dominant tree species, whereas bark foragers (Nuthatch, Sitta europaea) utilized the dominant trees. The four birds showed significant inter-specific difference in use of foraging location, but the three tits did not show significant inter-specific difference in use of foraging maneuver and trees. Closely related tits may coexist with each other by inter-specific different use of foraging location determined by foliage structure and leaf arrangement.

Prediction of Species Richness of Breeding Birds by Analysis of Land Cover at Seongnam City, Korea

Park, Chan-Ryul,Lee, Jang-Ho,Lee, Do-Won,Lee, Woo-Shin The Ecological Society of Korea 2005 Journal of Ecology and Environment Vol.28 No.1

This study was conducted to develop the predictive model for species richness of breeding birds by multivariate analysis of land covers (percentage value of each cover in 300 $\times$ 300m grid) including water area (WA), urbanized area (UA), green area (GA), forest area (FA) and agricultural area (AA) at Seongnam City in Korea. Fifty-nine species of birds were mapped on 155 grids in size of 300 $\times$ 300 m from 2000 to 2001. Species richness of breeding birds was significantly regressed ($R^2=0.85$, n=155) by estimates of WA ($4.59{\pm}1.13$, P<0.0001), UA ($6.50{\pm}0.86$, P<0.0001), GA ($7.11{\pm}1.25$, P<0.0001), FA ($8.51{\pm}0.62$, P<0.0001), and AA ($4.59{\pm}1.13$, P<0.0001). In validation of model, the results show no significant difference between predicted value of species richness and observed one. Developed model can be used as a predictive model of species richness of birds for selecting the proper location of corridors and parks in urban area.

We developed the “Nest Finder System” to detect the breeding ecology of cavity nesters. Nest Finder System is composed of three parts, camera, transfer and recorder parts. In camera part, we utilized three types like pin camera, CCTV camera and endoscope with CMOS lens. Electricity and information was transferred with cable lines, and the information were directly recorded into sony digital recorder (GV-HD 700) or hard disk. To survey the breeding status of cavity nester, we disassembled the cone lens (TVC-MN4428C) applicable to enter the natural tree hole ranging no less than 30 mm. To support the camera and transfer part reaching at the hole located about 15m height, we used a couples of carbon poles in size of 1.8m, and its slender ending part was designed to fit each other. Nest Finder System can be applied to monitor breeding status of forest wildlife including cavity nesters, canopy nesters and aquatics. We discussed the potential problem in applying the equipment and analyzing the obtained data. Nest Finder System enable us to monitor the inner part of nest located at the upper part of trees not only coniferous and deciduous forests, and it can be applied to monitor the breeding ecology of aquatic organism.

<P><B>Summary</B></P> <P><B>Background/Objective</B></P> <P>Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is a standard treatment for locally advanced breast cancer, especially for HER2-positive or triple negative breast cancer which shows good response to chemotherapy. However, because a result of biomarkers is, occasionally, changed after NAC, the treatment strategy should be differently applied for patients with locally advanced breast cancer. We compared the results of biomarkers before and after NAC to evaluate the association with disease prognosis and oncologic results.</P> <P><B>Methods</B></P> <P>Fifty-seven patients with locally advanced breast cancer underwent NAC and the immunohistochemical (IHC) staining results were compared between before and after NAC. And the association between oncologic outcomes and biomarkers was analyzed.</P> <P><B>Results</B></P> <P>Negative status of estrogen receptor (ER) was associated with locoregional recurrence and distant metastasis both before and after NAC (p = 0.021, 0.019; p = 0.018, 0.036).
