The Natural Products Research Institute (NPRI, 生藥硏究所), an institution affiliated with Keijo Imperial University (京城帝國大學), was the predecessor of the NPRI at Seoul National University and a comprehensive research institute that focused on ginseng research during the Japanese colonial era. It was established under the leadership of Noriyuki Sugihara (杉原德行), a professor of the second lecture in pharmacology at the College of Medicine in Keijo Imperial University. Prof. Sugihara concentrated on studying Korean ginseng and herbal medicine beginning in 1926 when the second lecture of pharmacology was established. In addition to Prof. Sugihara, who majored in medicine and pharmacology, Kaku Tenmin (加來天民), an assistant professor who majored in pharmacy; Tsutomu Ishidoya (石戶谷勉), a lecturer who majored in agriculture and forestry; and about 36 researchers actively worked in the laboratory before the establishment of the NPRI in 1939. Among these personnel, approximately 14 Korean researchers had basic medical knowledge, derived mostly from specialized schools, such as medical, dental, and pharmaceutical institutions. As part of the initiative to explore the medicinal herbs of Joseon, the number of Korean researchers increased beginning in 1930. This increase started with Min Byung-Ki (閔丙祺) and Kim Ha-sik (金夏植). The second lecture of pharmacology presented various research results in areas covering medicinal plants in Joseon as well as pharmacological actions and component analyses of herbal medicines. It also conducted joint research with variousinstitutions. Meanwhile, in Gaesong (開城), the largest ginseng-producing area in Korea, the plan for the Pharmaceutical Industry Complex was established in 1935. This was a large-scale project aimed at generating profits through research on and the mass production of drugs and the reformation of the ginseng industry under collaboration among the Gaesong Ministry, Kwandong (關東) military forces, Keijo Imperial University, and private organizations. In 1936 and 1938, the Gyeonggi Provincial Medicinal Plant Research Institute (京畿道立 藥用植物硏究所) and the Herb Garden of Keijo Imperial University (京城帝國大學 藥草園) and Pharmaceutical Factory were established, respectively. These institutions merged to become Keijo Imperial University's NPRI, which wasthen overseen by Prof. Sugihara as director. Aside from conducting pharmacological research on ginseng, the NPRI devoted efforts to the development and sale of ginseng-based drugs, such as Sunryosam (鮮麗蔘), and the cultivation of ginseng. In 1941, the Jeju Urban Test Center (濟州島試驗場) was established, and an insecticide called Pancy (パンシ) was produced using Jeju-do medicinal herbs. However, even before research results were published in earnest, Japanese researchers, including Prof. Sugihara, hurriedly returned to Japan in 1945 because of the surrender of Japanese forces and the liberation of Korea. The NPRI was handed over to Seoul National University and led by Prof. Oh Jin-Sup (吳鎭燮), a former medical student at Keijo Imperial University. Scholars such as Woo Lin-Keun (禹麟根) and Seok Joo-Myung (石宙明) worked diligently to deal with the Korean pharmaceutical industry.

This study aimed to analyze the research trends of journal articles published by medical schools representing Korean modern. A total of 682 were selected from two journals published by Medical College in Keijo and Keijo Imperial University Medical Faculty. In results, the affiliations of authors who participated in Acta Medicinalia in Keijo included various schools and hospitals, and the authors' major was found to be similar in basic medicine and clinical medicine. In The Keijo Journal of Medicine, only school-affiliated authors participated, and 96.33% of the authors were majors in basic medicine. Co-occurrence network analysis was conducted on MeSH terms from the title of the article using MeSH on Demand, and the keyword that derived in both journals was 'erythrocytes', which analyzed the condition of red blood cells according to organs and diseases. In frequency analysis, a common area of research in both journals was the study focusing on blood and blood cells, and the study of anemia and tuberculosis, which were prevalent diseases at the time. As for comparing each journal, Acta Medicinalia in Keijo has focused on inflammatory diseases and clinical pathological studies in humans, and The Keijo Journal of Medicine has focused on anatomical studies on animals and pharmacological studies on medicines. Through this study, it was possible to identify the research topics and major keywords in two medical schools with different founding goals.

지구상에 서식하고 있는 포유강(Class: Mammalia), 박쥐목(Order: Chiroptera)에 속하는 박쥐류는 1,000여종에 이르는 것으로 알려졌으며, 포유류 중에서 1/4을 차지하고 있으며, 그 2/3는 곤충류를 포식하는 식충성을 지니고 있다. 우리나라에 서식하고 있는 박쥐류는 관박쥐과(Family:Rhinolophidae) 2종, 애기박쥐과(Family: Vespertilionidae) 28종, 큰귀박쥐과(Family: Molossidae) 1종으로서 총 31종이며, 모두 식충성 동물이다. 흡충류라고 하는 것은 편형동물문에 속하는 기생성 동물의 한 군으로서, 항온동물의 장이나 그 밖에 조직에 기생하는 것은 모두 하나 또는 두개 이상의 중간숙주를 필요로 하는 이생 흡충이다. 제1중간숙주는 고둥이지만 제2중간숙주는 여러 가지 변온동물로서 그 대부분은 생활사에 있어서 수서 생활을 하는 시기가 있는 것에 한정되지만 이는 제1중간숙주의 체내에서 형성된 꼬리유충이라고 하는 흡충류의 유생이 보통 물 속을 헤엄쳐 다니다가 제2중간숙주에 침입하게 된다. 박쥐류는 여러 가지 땅강아지나 개똥벌레를 포식하기 때문에 이들 유생이 물 속에서 흡충류의 피낭유충에 감염되었을 경우 박쥐류가 흡충류의 종숙주로서 적합하면 그 체내에서 피낭유충이 장에서 탈랑하여 드디어 성충으로 된다. 만일, 감염된 수서 곤충의 유생이 우화되면 그 유생 시대에 감염된 피낭유충이 그 숙주의 변태와는 상관없이 그 기생이 이어져 적당한 종숙주에게 섭취되기를 기다리게 된다. 우리나라에 있어서 박쥐류에 기생하는 흡충류에 관한 조사 연구는 일찌기 도쿄문리과 대학 동물학 연구실의 Ogata(1938)에 의하여 이루어진 이래 경성제국대학 의학부의 Park(1939a,b)과 후쿠오까대학 의학부의 Kifune et al.(1983, 1997)이 있을 뿐 우리나라 학자에 의한 연구 보고는 접할 수 없는 형편이다. 그럼으로, 우리나라 학자도 이에 관한 더욱 더 깊은 관심을 가져야할 것으로 생각하는 바 이에 지금까지 보고된 자료를 종합, 검토하여 기술하고자 한다.

The author devided th period of 1876-1945 into three epochs ; the Opening of Ports in 1876 -before the Political Reform in 1894 , the Political Reform- the Japanese annexation of Korea in 1910 , and the Epoch of Japanese Colony during 1910-1945. As civilization through including educational reform rised. The modern school system began to be introduced nongovernmentally and governmentally to Korea in the 1880's without any school laws. Were chronologycally established school regulation by Korea Government in 1895-1893, school laws by Korean Government under the supervision of the Japanese Residency-General of Korea in 1906-1910, and the educational laws of Korea by the Japanese Government-General of Korea in 1911-1943. In these epochs, the numbers of elementary , secondary and higher educational institutions and the numbers of pupils and students had increased slowly. Japanese had developed sonwhat primary education and secondary technical education, but it had checked extremely the Korean peoples to receive secondary liberal education and higher education, On the epoch of Japanese colony, Japanese occupied nearly half of elementary school teachers, almost of public secondary school teachers educated in Japan, and nearly all of professor educated in Japan in public and national colleges which were technical, and in one imperial university . Forty or more Korean teachers taught natural history chief at private secondary schools for Koreans , more than half of them being graduates of colleges of agriculture and forestry in Korea and Japan. The author mentioned curricula , and subjects and textbooks connected with biology of elementary, secondary and higher educational institutions. The pup8ls and students received biological knowledge through learning sciences at primary schools ; natural history (plants, animals and minerals ) at secondary schools including normal schools ; botany, zoology, genetics and major subjects related with biology such as anatomy, physiology, bacteriology, pland breeding at medical colleges and colleges of agriculture and forestry. There were no departments of biology , botany or zoology in Korea. Only seven Koreas graduated from departments of biology, botany or zoology at imperial universities in Japan. Some of them played the leading parts to develop education and researches of biology in the universities after 1945 Liberation.
