Objectives : There were few case reports on the treatment of Transverse Myelitis by oriental medicine. We experienced two cases of patients of Transverse Myelitis, who had complaints; motor, sensory impairment and bowel and urinary dysfunction. Methods : There are a lot of similarities between Wejeung(Weizheng;위증) and Transverse Myelitis. We diagnosed that symptoms as Wejeung(Weizheng;위증), and employed Oriental medical treatments; herb-medication, acupuncture, electro-acupuncture, moxa and physical therapy. Results : After oriental medical treatments, clinical improvement of the neurologic impairment was noted. Conclusions : We expected that therapeutic value of treatment of Transverse Myelitis in the oriental medicine will be higher if more clinical studies and researches are accomplished.

김두권,조성민,이동석,최성민,하경임 동국대학교 경주대학 1997 東國論集 Vol.16 No.1

용혈성 요독 증후군은 미세혈관성 용혈성 빈혈과 혈소판 감소증 및 급성 신부전을 특징으로 하는 질환으로 정확한 원인은 아직 밝혀지지 않고 있으며 발병기전에서 가장 중요한 것은 신미세혈관의 내피세포의 손상으로 알려져 있다. 이 질환은 1955년 Gasser등^1)에 의하여 처음 보고된 후 서구에서는 소아 급성 신부전의 주된 원인으로 알려져 있은, 국내에서는 1972년 이등^2)이 처음 보고한 이래 매우 드물게 1례씩 증례보고되었으나 최근에는 수례가 보고되는 등 증가추세에 있는 질환이다^3∼11). 저자들은 용혈성 요독 증후군으로 1세 여야에서 지주막하 출혈이 동반된 경우와 10세 여아에서 심한 신부전증으로 복막투석 및 보조요법으로 치료된 경우, 2개월된 남아에서 고나트륨혈증이 동반된 경우 및 14개월된 여아에서 경한 임상경과를 취한 증례를 포함한 4례를 치험하였기에 이를 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다. The hemolytic uremic syndrome is a clinical state characterized by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia and acute renal failure. The etiology varies and in the majority the cause remained unknowed. Whatever the cause, the end result is extensive endothelial injury of the renal microvasculature. We experience 4 cases of hemolytic uremic syndrome. Case 1 was accompanied with subarachnoid hemorrhage in a year of age, female. Case 2 with severe acute renal failure, which was treated with peritonial dialysis, dypiridamole and aspirin in 10 years of age, female. Case 3 with severe hypernatremia in 2 months of age, male. Case 4 had mild clinical manifestation in 14 months of age, female. The age at presentation ranged from 2 month to 10years. All cases were improved completely without any complication. The review of the literature was made briefly.

Up to now only 17 coleopteran mitogenomes have been fully or near fully sequenced, but this chart does not include any complete mitogenome sequence of the coleopteran infraorder Scarabaeiformia, in which the monotypic Scarabaeoidea is included. In this study, we firstly present three scarabaeoid mitogenomes, two of which are completed and one is near completed. The complete nucleotide sequences of the white-spotted flower chafer, Protaetia brevitarsis (Scarabaeiformia: Scarabaeidae), was determined to be 20,319 bp, the two-spotted stag beetle, Metopodontus blanchardi (Scarabaeiformia: Lucanidae), was 21,678 bp, and the incomplete garden chafer, Polyphylla laticollis (Scarabaeiformia: Scarabaeidae), which lacks sequence information from whole A+T-rich region and a partial srRNA gene was 14,473 bp. Thus, the two complete mitogenome sequences are longest among the completely sequenced insect mitogenomes, followed by the 19,517 bp-long dipteran Drosophila melanogaster. Phylogenetic analysis using the concatenated 13 amino acid sequences of PCGs of the 13 coleopteran insects including three newly sequenced scarabaeoid successfully recovered a monophyly of suborder Polyphaga, a monophyly of infraorder Cucujiformia, a monophyly of infraorder Elateriformia, and also a monophyly of infraorder Scarabaeiformia within Polyphga. However, the Scarabaeiformia represented by three newly sequenced species was unexpectedly placed as a sister group to the Cucujiformia, instead of the placement to the sister to the Cucujiformia and Elateriformia group.

Complete Nucleotide Sequence and Organization of the Mitogenome of the Endangered Eumenis autonoe (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) and Phylogenetic Analysis among Lepidopteran Insects

Eumenis autonoe belonging to a lepidopteran family Nymphalidae (superfamily Papilionoidea) is an endangered species in Korea. Historically, the species was distributed in Europe and Asian region including a wide region in Korean peninsula. However, in Korean peninsula, the species is found only in two isolate dregions: South in a remote island Jeju, where altitude is higher than1, 400 meter on Halla Mt. and North in far northern Korean peninsula around Mt. Bekdu. In this study, we report the complete mitochondrial genome of the endangered E. autonoe collected from Mt. Halla. The 15,489-bp long E. autonoe genome has a typical gene content found in animal mitochondrial genomes and contains the gene arrangement identical to all other sequenced lepidopteran insects, which differs from the most common type found in insects, as the result of the movement of tRNAMet to a position 5’-upstream of tRNAIle. As seen in many other lepidopteran insects, no typical ATN codon for COI gene is available. Thus, we tentatively designated the CGA (arginine) found at the beginning of the COI gene, as has been suggested for lepidopteran COI starter. The intergenic spacer sequence located between tRNASer (UCN) and ND1 of E. autonoe mitogenome also contains the ATACTAA motif which is conserved in all sequenced lepidopteran species. The 678-bp long A+T-rich region, which is longest in sequenced lepidopteran insects contains ten identical tandem repeats composed of 27 bp plus one 13-bp long identical incomplete final repeat. Such repeat sequence is rare in the lepidopteran mitogenomes known so far. The E. autonoe A+T-rich region also contains a poly-T stretch located at the end of the region as 19 bp and also contains the downstream conserved motif ATAGA that were previously suggested to serve as a structural signal for minor-strand mtDNA replication. Phylogenetic analysis using the concatenated 13 amino acid sequences of PCGs among available six lepidopteran superfamilies (Tortricoidea, Pyraloidea, Papilionoidea, Bombycoidea, Geometroidea, and Noctuoidea) rooted with three dipteran species with BI and ML analyses supported the following topology: ((((Bombycoidea + Geometroidea +Noctuoidea) + Papilionoidea) + Pyraloidea) + Tortricoidea). Within Papilionoidea, a closer relationship between Lycaenidae and Pieridae, excluding Nymphalidae was observed. Further fruitful information will be available after more analysis is done.

Complete nucleotide sequence and organization of the mitogenome of the endangered Eumenis autonoe (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae)

Eumenis autonoe, a member of the lepidopteran family Nymphalidae (superfamily Papilionoidea) is an endangered species, and is found only on one isolated remote island, Jeju in South Korea, on Halla Mt., at altitudes higher than 1,400 meters. In this study, we report the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of E. autonoe. The 15,489-bp long E. autonoe genome evidenced the typical gene content found in animal mitogenomes, and harbors the gene arrangement identical to all other sequenced lepidopteran insects, which differs from the most common type found in insects, due to the movement of tRNAMet to a position 5’-upstream of tRNAIle. As has been observed in many other lepidopteran insects, no typical ATN codon for the COI gene is available. Thus, we also designated the CGA (arginine) found at the beginning of the COI gene as a lepidopteran COI starter, in accordance with previous suggestions. The 678-bp long A+T-rich region, which is second longest in sequenced lepidopteran insects, harbors 10 identical 27-bp long tandem repeats plus one 13-bp long incomplete final repeat. Such a repeat sequence has been, thus far, only rarely detected in lepidopteran mitogenomes. The E. autonoe A+T-rich region harbors a poly-T stretch of 19 bp and a conserved ATAGA motif located at the end of the region, which have been suggested to function as structural signals for minor-strand mtDNA replication.

Description of Nearly Completed Mitochondrial Genome Sequences of the Garden Chafer Polyphylla laticollis manchurica, Endangered in Korea (Insecta: Coleoptera)

Min Jee Kim,Ki-Gyoung Kim,Iksoo Kim 한국응용곤충학회 2013 한국응용곤충학회 학술대회논문집 Vol.2013 No.10

We present the nearly complete mitogenome sequences of the garden chafer, Polyphylla laticollis manchurica, which is listed as an endangered species in Korea. The P. l. manchurica mitogenome, which includes unfinished whole A+T-rich region and a partial srRNA was 14,473-bp long, possessing typical sets of genes (13 PCGs, 22 tRNA genes, and 2 rRNA genes). Gene arrangement of the P. l. manchurica mitogenome was identical to the common one found in the majority of insects. The 5 bp-long motif sequence (TAGTA) that has been suggested to be the possible binding site for the transcription termination peptide for the major-strand was also found in the P. l. manchurica mitogenome between tRNASer(UCN) and ND1. As has been previously determined, the high A/T content was unanimously observed in P. l. manchurica in terms of A/T bias in the third codon position (73.5%) compared with the first (66.4%) and second codon position (66.2%), and a high frequency of A/T-containing codons (a total of 28.22% for TTA, ATT, TTT, and ATA). The PCGs encoded in major-strands are slightly T-skewed, whereas those of the minor-strand are A-skewed, indicating strand asymmetry in nucleotide composition in the Coleoptera including P. l. manchurica.

Population genetic characterization of the endangered dung beetle Copris tripartitus (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) using novel microsatellite markers

Kim Min Jee,정수연,Kim Sung-Soo,Jeong Jun Seong,Kim Jong Seok,Jeong Heon Cheon,Kim Ki-Gyoung,Kim Iksoo 한국응용곤충학회 2022 Journal of Asia-Pacific Entomology Vol.25 No.2

The dung beetle Copris tripartitus (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) has long been considered an endangered insect in South Korea; the detection of recent population increases leaves its endangered status uncertain. Population genetic analysis subsequent to development of molecular markers is essential for establishing proper conserva tion strategies. In this study, we developed ten microsatellite markers specifically for C. tripartitus. Sixty-eight individuals of C. tripartitus collected from six South Korean localities were genotyped to validate these markers and preliminarily assess population genetic characteristics. Per-locus observed number of alleles, observed heterozygosity (H O ), and expected heterozygosity (H E ) ranged from 5–12, 0.499–0.958, and 0.54–0.743, respectively. All populations showed higher H O than H E , negative values of inbreeding coefficient, and, overall, no sign of recent population bottlenecks (excluding one population, Seosan). This suggests that C. tripartitus did not suffer from genetic drift and inbreeding, which are typically severe in small, isolated pop ulations. Nevertheless, detection of only one of the two gene pools in some populations and resultant genetic subdivision into two population groups may suggest that the population size is not enough to cover both gene pools. Thus, a more extended period of protection may be required to ensure higher genetic diversity of wide spread populations and achieve the long-term conservation goal.

Geographic Genetic Contour of the Dung Beetle, Copris tripartitus (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae), that Is Endangered in Korea

Ki-Gyoung Kim,Ah Rang Kang,Min Jee Kim,Iksoo Kim 한국응용곤충학회 2011 한국응용곤충학회 학술대회논문집 Vol.2011 No.05

The dung beetle, Copris tripartitus, (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae), is one of the insect species listed as endangered wildlife in Korea. In order to establish conservation strategy an investigation on nation-wide genetic magnitude and nature of genetic diversity would be required. In this study, we sequenced each partial sequences of mitochondrial COI (658 bp) and CytB (433 bop) genes and complete internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) of the nuclear ribosomal DNA (411~420 bp) from 70 individuals of C. tripartitus collected from five Korean localities. The sequence divergence of mitochondrial genes was unexpectedly substantial as 5.0% (33 bp) for COI and 4.6% (20 bp) for CytB, whereas that of ITS2 was only 1.9% (6 bp), revealing much higher variability in mitochondrial DNA. In phylogenetic analysis, each 57 and 47 haplotypes obtained from COI and CytB gene sequences was subdivided into two groups (groups A and B), but the node supports for each group was not strong enough to consider each group as independent monophyletic groups in both genes. This interpretation was further supported by the same analysis with ITS2, showing no subdivision at all. These findings reinforce importance for the inference of phylogenetic result using both mitochondrial and nuclear encoded sequences. The C. tripartitus occurring in Korean peninsula was genetically well connected to each other and no obvious population genetic structure was detectable.
