Background: Solar urticaria (SU) is an uncommon type of photodermatoses characterized by erythematous wheal with pruritus after sunlight exposure, which shows a female predominance. Only a few studies to analyze the clinical features of SU were reported in Asia. Objectives: We aimed to analyze the clinical and photobiological characteristics of SU in Korea. Methods: We retrospectively investigated the medical records of patients with SU who visited the department of dermatology, Konkuk university medical center from January 2005 to January 2020. Results: Of a total of 44 patients, 36 (81.8%) were male and 8 (18.2%) were female. The mean age at onset was 17.6 years (range, 5-47) and the mean threshold time was 19.7 minutes. Among 32 patients who underwent phototesting, the action spectrum most commonly implicated was ultraviolet (UV) A only in 12 (37.5%), and then visible light (415nm) only was responsible for SU in 8 (25.0%). Three patients (9.4%) were induced by both UVA and visible light (415nm). Even 4 patients (12.5%) were triggered by only natural sunlight. Serum immunoglobulin E levels were measured in 33 patients, and 17 (51.5%) showed values higher than normal. The treatment most widely used were oral antihistamine (43.2%), followed by phototherapy (13.6%). Conclusion: SU is a rare photodermatosis in Korea, which shows a male preponderance. In this study, UVA and visible light (415nm) were predominant action spectrum of SU.

In Vitro Antiviral Activity of Ribavirin Against Severe Fever with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome Virus Myung Jin LEE1, Kye-Hyung KIM1, Jongyoun YI2, SuJin CHOI1, Chung-Jong KIM1, Nak- Hyun KIM1, Kyoung-Ho SONG1, Pyoeng Gyun CHOI1, Ji-Hwan BANG1, Wan Beom PARK1, Eu Suk KIM1, Sang-Won PARK1, Hong Bin KIM1, Nam Joong KIM1, Myoung- Don OH1 Seoul National University College of Medicine, Korea1, Pusan National University School of Medicine, Korea2 Background: Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is an emerging infectious disease caused by a novel Bunyavirus, severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV). No effective antiviral therapy is proven yet, but clinical use of ribavirin (RBV) has been tried. We investigated the antiviral effect of RBV against SFTSV in vitro. Methods: To test for cytotoxicity of RBV, Vero cells were treated with different concentrations of RBV (3.90 to 500 μg/mL, two-fold dilution) and analyzed by cell viability MTS assay 48h post-infection. To determine antiviral activity of RBV against SFTSV, Vero cells were infected with SFTSV strain Gangwon/Korea/2012 at 100 TCID50 (50% tissue culture infective dose) per well in a 96-well plate, and RBV was added at the concentrations showing no or minimal cytotoxicity. Viral RNAs were extracted from the culture supernatants and quantifi ed using one-step real-time reverse transcription- PCR to amplify the partial large segment of SFTSV. Statistical analysis was done by one-way ANOVA with Tukey`s post hoc test. Results: Cytotoxicity due to RBV was not observed at RBV concentration =31.3 μg/ mL. Viral RNAs at 24h post-RBV treatment were reduced with increasing RBV concentrations (1-32 μg/mL), compared with those of mock-treated cells (P <0.01, Figure). Half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of RBV was 3.69 μg/mL at 24h post-RBV treatment. Conclusions: Our study shows that RBV has antiviral effect against SFTSV in a dose-dependent manner. Further studies are required to evaluate the effi cacy of RBV in SFTS.

Objectives : Attitudes of families of mentally ill, health personnels and community leaders to the mentally ill after the development and utilization of the community mental health program and reintegration of the chronically ill patients into society. This study was designed to compare the attitudes toward the mentally ill patient of the persons who have important role in treating the mentally ill and to find the variables influencing the attitudes. Methods : We measured attitudes toward mental illness in psychotic patients' families(N=139), community leaders(N=180) and health personnels(N=324) including mental health personnels before the implementation of community mental health services in Yonchon county and Seodaemun district area. The instrument used to measure attitudes was Opinion about Mental Illness(O. M. I.) scale. Results : 1) Health personnel showed lower Authoritarianism(Factor A) and higher Benevolence(Factor B) scores on the average than community leaders and psychotic patients families. 2) Current residence affect the attitudes in psychotic patients' families, not in community leaders and health personnels. Families in urban area showed lower Authoritarianism(Factor A) and Social Restrictiveness(Factor D) and higher Benevolence(Factor B) scores than in the rural areas. 3) Many patient variables were correlated to the attitudes of families. Duration of illness, number of recurrence, number of admission, age of patient and family burden were positively correlated mainly to Social Restrictiveness(Factor D). 4) Sex and religion of respondents showed no or weak relationship with the factor scores. Conclusions : Education for community leaders and families is required to achieve successful community mental health services. Community support program should be developed for chronic, recurrent and burdensome psychiatric patients in the first place.

당뇨병 환자에서 혈장 Thrombin-Antithrombin Ⅲ 및 Plasmin-α_2-Plasmin Inhibitor 복합체의 임상적 의의

김경욱,김은숙,정상수,윤수지,박우일,이준희,남수연,안철우,문병수,김경래,차봉수,송영득,임승길,이현철,허갑범 대한당뇨병학회 2002 Diabetes and Metabolism Journal Vol.25 No.5

연구배경:당뇨병 환자에서 혈액응고 및 섬유소용해 체계의 이상경향이 있어 그 결과로 여러 혈관합병증의 발생위험이 높다는 사실은 널리 알려져 있다. 그 기전은 아직 확실히 밝혀지지 않았으나, 고혈당으로 인한 혈장 단백질들의 비효소성 당화작용이나 산화성 스트레스로 인한 유리 라티칼 작용으로 응고항진이나 섬유소용해 활성의 저하를 유발하는 것으로 생각되고 있다. 최근 응고 및 용해인자와 그 억제자의 복합체들의 증가가 이 상태를 비교적 예민하게 반영한다고 알려져 있다. 방법:본 연구에서는 당뇨병 환자 101명과 정상 대조군 20명에서 혈장내 thrombin­antithrombin complex(TAT)와 plasmin­α₂­plasmin inhibitor complex(PIC)를 측정하여 비교하고, 당뇨병 환자에서 미세혈관 합병증과 대혈관합병증의 유무에 따른 차이와, 이미 혈관 질환의 위험인자로 알려져 있는 인자들간의 상관성을 알아보고자 하였다. 결과:1. 환자의 분포를 살펴보면 혈관합병증이 있는 군은 85명, 혈관합병증이 없는 군은 16명이었고, 평균연령은 각각 57.9±14.1세, 49.9±16.6세로 혈관 합병증이 있는 군에서 더 나이가 많았고, 체질량지수는 23.2±3.4㎏/㎡, 24.1±3.4㎏/㎡로 두 군간 유의한 차이는 없었다. 또 두 군간의 혈압 및 HbA1c, 공복혈당 및 인슐린과 C­peptide, 총 콜레스테롤, 중성지방, HDL­콜레스테롤, Lp⒜는 유의한 차이가 없었고, 미세혈관합병증이 있는 군에서 당뇨병의 유병기간이 길었다. 2. TAT 및 PIC의 농도는 정상 대조군에서는 2.8±1.2 ng/mL, 240.4±69.7 ng/mL이었고, 당뇨병 환자군에서는 9.5±22.6 ng/mL, 472.2±258.7 ng/mL이었다. TAT와 PIC 모두 당뇨병 환자군에서 정상 대조군에 비해 유의하게 증가되어 있었고(p<0.001), TAT/PIC ratio는 두 군간 차이가 없었다. 3. 당뇨병 환자의 혈관합병증에 따른 TAT 및 PIC, fibrinogen 농도는 합병증이 없는 군은 각각 4.1±2.4ng/mL, 362.2±272.0ng/mL, 322.7±102.4mg/mL으로 PIC와 fibrinogen의 증가를 보였으나, 연령을 보정한 후에는 통계학적 유의성은 없었다. 또 대혈관 합병증군에서는 각각 6.0±4.9 ng/mL, 507.4±321.6 ng/mL, 427.1±194.7 mg/dL이었으며 미세·대혈관 합병증군에서는 10.4±6.4 ng/mL, 484.8±269.7 ng/mL, 388.4±132.4 mg/dL으로 TAT의 증가를 보였으나 역시 연령을 보정한 후에는 통계학적 유의성은 없었다. 4. 미세혈관합병증군에서 HbA1c(>8%)가 높은 군의 PIC 농도가 유의하게 높았고(p=0.049), 대혈관합병증군에서 HbA1c(>8%)가 높은 군의 총 콜레스테롤 농도가 유의하게 높았다(p=0.042). 5. 총 당뇨병 환자군에서 PIC는 fibrinogen과 HbA1c와 양의 상관관계를, BMI와 음의 상관관계를 보였으며(r=0.47, 0.31,-0.25), 혈관 합병증이 없는 당뇨병 환자군에서만 TAT는 HbA1c와 양의 상관관계를 보였다(r=0.67). 결론:이상의 결과에서 혈장 TAT 및 PIC 농도는 당뇨병 환자에서 정상 대조군에 비해 의미있게 증가되어 있었고, 당뇨병 환자군에서는 연령의 증가와 유병기간이 혈액응고항진 및 용해의 장애에 큰 역할을 함을 알 수 있었으며, 총 당뇨병 환자군에 PIC와 HbA1c와 양의 상관관계를, BMI와 음의 상관관계를 보였으며 혈관 합병증이 없는 당뇨병 환자군에서만 TAT는 HbA1c와 양의 상관관계를 보였다. 따라서 당뇨병 환자에서 혈액응고 및 용해의 장애가 동반되어 있다고 볼 수 있으며, 혈장 TAT 및 PIC는 혈관합병증으로의 진행을 예측하는 지표로서 유용하리라 생각된다. 또 혈당조절정도와 상관성이 있으므로 혈당조절후에 추적검사를 시행하여 합병증의 예방이 가능한지 추후 연구가 필요하리라 생각된다. Background : Abnormality of coagulation and fibrinolystic system is known as a predisposing factor of vascular complication in diabetes. Although the pathogenesis is not well known, non-enzymatic glycation reaction and the increase in production of free radicals due to an increased oxidative stress may be linked to the hypercoagulibility and hypofibrinolytic activity. As indices of abnormality in coagulation and firinolysis in peripheral blood, plasma thrombin-antithrombin Ⅲ complex (TAT) and plasmin-α_2-plasmin inhibitor complex (PIC) were measured. The purpose of this study was to clarify whether hypercoagulability exists in diabetic patients with or without vascular complication. Methods : In our study, we measured plasma thrombin-antithrombin Ⅲ compelx (TAT) and plasmin-α_2-plasmin inhibit or complex (PIC) in 101 diabetic subjects and 20 controls. Comparing TAT and PIC levels in diabetic microvascular complication group, diabetic macrovascular complication group and controls, we examined correlation between risk factors associated with diabetic vascular complication. Results : 1. The group with diabetic vascular complication was older than group without complication. There was no significant difference in BMI, blood pressure, HbA_ic, blood sugar level, insulin, C-peptide, serum creatinine, total cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL-cholesterol, Lp (a) between two groups. The group with diabetic microvascular complication had longer duration of diabetes. 2. Concentration of TAT and PIC were 2.8±1.2 ng/ mL, 240.4±69.7 ng/ mL in controls and 9.5±22.6 ng/ mL, 472.2±258.7 ng/ mL in diabetic patients, respectively. TAT and PIC were significantly higher in diabetic patients than in control (p<0.001). But TAT/PIC ratio was no significant difference between two groups. 3. In diabetic patients, concentration of TAT and PIC and fibrinogen were respectively 4.1±2.4 ng/ mL, 362.2±272.0 ng/ mL, 322.7±102.4 mg/ dL in group without vascular complication and 5.3±4.1 ng/ mL, 529.5±258.7 ng/ mL, 374.9±106.2 mg/ dL in group with microvascular complication, which group had increase in PIC and Fibrinogen but no significance after correction of age. Concentration of TAT and PIC and Fibrinogen were 60.±4.9 ng/ mL, 507.4±321.6 ng/ mL, 427.1±194.7 mg/ dL in macrovascular complication, and 10.4±6.7 mg/ mL, 484.8±269.7 ng/ mL, 388.4±132.4 mg/ dL in combined vascular complication which group showed increase of TAT but also had no significant increase after correction of age. 4. In diabetic microvascular complication patients, group of high HbA_1c (>8%) (p=0.049) had significant high PIC concentration. In diabetic macrovascular complication patients, group of high HbA_1c (>8%) (p=0.042) had significant high total cholesterol concentration. 5. In all diabetic patients, PIC was positively correlated with fibrinogen and HbA_1c and negatively correlated BMI (r=0.47, 0.31, -0.25). Only in daibetic patients without angiopathy, TAT was positively correlated with HbA_1c (r=0.67). Conclusion : In this study, plasma TAT and PIC concentration significantly increased in diabetic patients compared with controls, and PIC was increased in group with microvascular complication, TAT were increased in group with combined micro macrovascular complication. However, there was no significance relationship existed when correctinf for age. PIC was correlated with HbA_1c. TAT was correlated with HbA_1c only in the group without angiopathy. Abnormality of coagulation and fibrinolysis were combined in diabetes, plasma TAT and PIC can be used as an index of vascular complication. Also we found the correlation with the degree of the blood glucose control. Therefore we need follow up study for the possibility of prevention of vascular complication after controlling the blood glucose to age-matched patients (J Kor Diaabetes Asso 25:354~363, 2001).

급성 백혈병 환자에서 수두양 피부병변을 보인 파종성 Fusarium 감염 1예와 국내 파종성 Fusarium 감염증에 대한 고찰

오수진,정희선,김준성,김태석,조병식,최수미,김명신,이연수,이석,신완식 대한감염학회 2007 감염과 화학요법 Vol.39 No.5

최근 면역저하환자의 증가와 함에 국내에서도 점차 침습성, 파종성 Fusarium 감염증 보고가 증가하고 있다. Fusarium 감염은 아스페르길루스 감염과 유사한 임상양상을 보이지만 특징적인 피부병변을 동반하고 혈액배양에서 균이 분리되는 경우가 더 많다. 저자들은 급성 림프구성 백혈병으로 진단받고 치료중인 30세 남자 환자에서 중증의 호중구 감소 상태에서 비특이적인 피부병변을 동반한 파종성 Fusarium 혈류감염을 경험하였기에 국내 증례 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다. 환자의 초기 피부병변은 구진에서 시작하여 주로 소포성 병변과 일부 통증을 동반한 결절 등 여러 형태로 나타났고, Tzank 도말검사 양성으로 비정형 수두로 오인되었다. 이후 피부병변은 농포로 변하였고, 혈액배양 및 피부 조직검사에서 파종성 Fusarium 감염으로 진단받았다. 환자는 liposomal amphotericin B, voriconazole 병합요법과 G-CSF 투여, 과립구 수혈을 받았으나, 호중구 감소증에서 회복하지 못하고 급성 호흡곤란증후군과 다장기 기능부전으로 사망하였다. 본 증례는 파종성 Fusarium 감염의 경우에도 수두양 병변으로 비특이적인 양상으로 나타날 수 있으므로, 감별진단을 위해 적극적으로 혈액배양과 피부조직검사를 시행해야 함을 보여준다. Recently, we experienced a case of disseminated fusarial blood stream infection with varicelloid skin eruptions, who had suffered from persistent neutropenic fever after salvage chemotherapy for relapsed acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL). Neutropenia continued in spite of G-CSF and granulocyte transfusion, and he failed to respond to conventional amphotericin B initially, and then liposomal amphotericin B and voriconazole combination therapy. Disseminated fusariosis can be diagnosed by blood cultures in 50% of patients and present skin lesions in more than 80% of patients. So, typical skin lesions are important clue to diagnose of the disseminated fusariosis. However, many skin lesions in immunocompromised hosts are due to various infectious and non-infectious causes. So, this case shows that it is important to obtain biopsy specimens of skin lesions for histopathologic examination, culture and staining. Here, we present our case with the review of the literatures reported in our country, so far.

과학적 태도에 따른 중학생의 학교 과학수업과 학원 과학수업에 대한 만족도 비교

김수연,정진수,김상호,윤성규 大邱大學校 師範大學 附設 敎育硏究所 2009 學校敎育硏究 Vol.5 No.1

본 연구는 학교 과학 교육과 학원 과학 교육의 활성화와 바람직한 방향 설정을 위한 기초 자료를 제공하기 위해 중학생들의 과학적 태도에 따른 학교 과학 수업과 학원 과학 수업에 대한 인식을 조사 및 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 학생들은 학교 과학 교사보다 학원 과학 강사를 더 친근하게 인식하고 있었으며 자신들에게 더 많이 관심을 가지고 있다 인식하였다. 그리고 학생들은 수업목표 제시나 수업과 관련된 여러 가지 자료 제시는 학원보다 학교에서 더 잘 이루어진다고 인식하고 있었으며 과학 현상이나 개념에 대한 스스로 생각할 수 있는 기회 역시 학교 과학 수업이 더 많다고 인식하고 있었다. 또한 학생들은 학교 과학 수업보다 학원 과학 수업에 더 집중하며 모르는 내용에 대해 질문을 더 많이 한다고 답하였고 학습평가의 경우 학교 과학 수업과 학원 과학 수업 모두 진단평가 보다는 형성평가와 총괄평가에 치중해 있는 것으로 조사되었다. 또한, 과학적 태도 점수를 상․중․하로 나누어 학교 과학 수업과 학원 과학 수업 중 어디에 더 만족하는지를 조사해 본 결과 과학적 태도 점수가 우수한 학생들은 학원 과학 수업에 더 만족하였다. 그러나 과학적 태도 점수가 중․하인 학생들에 비해 그 만족도가 낮은 편인 걸 봐서 학원의 경우 학생들의 과학적 사고나 태도를 촉진하는 수업보다는 주입식 수업으로 인해 과학적 태도가 높은 학생들의 만족도가 낮을 것이며 학교의 경우 실험이 학생들의 호기심과 과학적 태도를 향상시켜 줄 수 있는 자유로운 실험이 되기보다는 수행평가와 같은 성적을 측정하는 도구로 밖에 이용되지 않음을 알 수 있었다. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the science attitude of middle schoolers and their satisfaction level with science lessons provided by school and academy in an effort to bolster public and private science education and determine some of the right directions for that. The subjects in this study were 172 middle schoolers who attended five different private cram schools in Dalseo-gu, Daegu. After a survey was conducted, randomly selected 25 students were interviewed. Their satisfaction level was analyzed in terms of relationship with teachers, teaching methods, learner class participation and evaluation, and their science attitude scores were compared and categorized into three groups. The students found themselves to be on more friendly terms with the cram school science teachers than with their school science teachers. They considered the former to be more interested in themselves, and put their schools above the academies in terms of presenting instructional objectives and relevant materials. They also believed that the schools gave them more opportunities to think of scientific phenomena or conception on their own. They stayed focused better in the academies than in the schools, and asked more questions in the academies. As to evaluation, both of their schools and academies leaned toward formative or summative evaluation rather than diagnostic evaluation. The students were divided into three different groups according to science attitude scores, and how much each group was satisfied with science instruction offered by the schools and academies was checked. As a result, the students who got higher scores in science attitude were more gratified with the academies. The others who got intermediate or low scores were more satisfied with the academies as well, which taught them to grasp the point of instruction and solve past examination questions so that they could boost their scores in science. As a study established that younger graders fell behind in science attitude, both schools and academies should try to teach students to improve the attitude of students toward science without letting them remain indifferent to that

윤영남,김남성,김기덕,박수진,서미자,채순용 충남대학교 농업과학연구소 2000 농업과학연구 Vol.27 No.1

External morphological characteristics of male and female of Degeeria separata, which was endoparasited in adult of the Asian ladybird, were studied by using the scanning electron microscopy(SEM). The antenna of Degeeria separata was consisted of three segment and arista. Anstae were about 750㎛ length and 30㎛ in diameter. The surface of antennae was covered with many sensilla. They were long or short, slender or thick, and straight or curved. Each three morphological types of sensilla were observed on the second and third segment of antennae. The mouthpart was sponging type. It was consisted with clypeus, labellum, labium, labrum, and maxillary palp. The labellum is 400㎛ width and double folded vertically. The leg consist of tarsus, tarsus claw, pulvilli, and empodium.

A Case of Pneumatosis Cystoides Intestinalis in an Allogenic Stem Cell Transplant Recipient Who had Bronchiolitis Obliterans and Pulmonary Infection by Mtcobacterium abscessus

김윤정,전은경,조병식,최수미,이석,민창기,신완식 대한감염학회 2008 감염과 화학요법 Vol.40 No.5

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) can cause various complications involving lung, liver intestine and other organs, Chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) may injure the cells in the intestinal mucosa of HSCT recipients. Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis (PI) is a condition that presence of air in the bowel wall is demonstrated by radiologic or pathologic tests, It is one of the infrequent complications after HSCT and is associated with several medical and surgical conditions. However its pathogenesis and definite etiologic factors are still unknown. Here, we present a case of PI in a HSCT recipient, who was diagnosed of bronchiolitis obliterance accompanied with chronic GVHD and pulmonary disease caused by Mycobacterium abscessus.

Of 879 without insomnia at baseline, 651 (74%) were followed 2 years later, and incident insomnia was evaluated. Results : Prevalent insomnia was significantly associated with 10 of 11 physical disorders. Incident insomnia was associated with 2 physical disorders : eyesight problems and hearing difficulty. Both prevalent and incident insomnia were significantly associated with increased number of physical disorders. Conclusion : Certain physical disorders were comorbid and precipitating factors of insomnia in elders.

주사전자현미경을 이용한 토마토에 발생하는 아메리카잎굴파리(Liriomyza trifolii)의 외부형태적 특징

윤영남,김기덕,박수진,김남성,서미자,채순용 충남대학교 농업과학연구소 2000 농업과학연구 Vol.27 No.1

SEM을 이용하여 아메리카잎굴파리(Liriomyza trifolii)의 암 ·수컷 성충의 외부형태적 특징을 살펴보았다. 더듬이에 있어 감각모의 3가지 형태는 더듬이가는마디(funicle)에서 관찰되었으며, 모상감각기(trlchold sensillum)는 말단 부위가 뽀족한 특징적인 형태를 하고 있고 감각기들 중에서 가장 많이 분포하고 있다. 원추상 감각기(basiconic sensillum)는 길이가 13㎛, 지름이 1.4㎛에서 1.2㎛인 원형곡선형이다. 홈형 감각기(grooved sensillum)는 간상(peg) 끝에서 나온 손 모양을 하고 있으며, 이 모든 감각기들은 후각과 연관되어져 있는것으로 추정된다. 구기는 홉즙형으로 작고 펼쳐진 윗입술(labrum)과 합쳐져서 하나의 연결된 주둥이(rostrum)을 형성하고 있다. 가느다란 한 쌍의 작은턱수염(maxillary palp)은 긴 관 모양으로 각각의 세로로 이어져 있다. 발마디는 5마디로 이루어져 있으며 그 한가운데에는 패드모양의 흡착반(pulvillus)과 가시모양의 발톱사이돌기(empodium)가 있다. 아메리카잎굴파리는 흡착반과 발톱사이돌기에서 미끄러운 표면에 부착할 수 있는 물질을 분비한다. 수컷의 생식기는 매우 복잡하며 삽입구(aedeagus)는 생식기관으로서 가장 일반적인모양이다. 반면에 암컷의 생식기는 상대적으로 간단한데 이 구조는 외부로 돌출된 관모양이었다. 또한 이러한 결과를 이미 발표된 다른 여러 종의파리와 비교하였다. The external morphology of male and female of Liriomyza trifolii (Burgess) was studied using the scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Three types of sensilla were identified on the funicle of antennae. The trichoid sensilla were most conspicious and distributed with a characteristic sharp structure at the apical end. Basiconic sensilla were showed distal curvature about 13㎛ long and 1.2㎛ to 1.4㎛ in diameter. Grooved sensilla were showed a finger-like projections at the peg apex. The function of these sensilla likely to be olfactory. The mouthparts were adapted for sucking food, and formed a elongate rostrum which was incorporated with labrum. The labrum was a small and flap-like shape. The slender and paired maxillary palp seemed to combine with each other lengthwise to long tube. The tarsus typically consisted of 5 segments, which might be variously modified, principally by thickening or flattening. The segment healed a pair of claws. Beneath the claws, there was a pair of pad-like pulvillia and a bristle-like median empodium. L. trifolii secreted on the pulvillus and empodium an adhesive substance that enable them to cling to smooth surfaces. Male terminalia was complicated. The name 'aedeagus' seemed the best available general term for the copulatory organ, otherwise, female terminalia was usually relatively simple. This structure was reduced and formed a telescopic, eversible, and tubular ovipositor.
