Korean freshwater turtles are divided into native turtles, Chinemys reevesii in Geoemydidae, Pelodiscus sinensis in Trionychidae, and imported turtles, Trachemys scripta elegans, T. s. scripta, Pseudemys rubriventris and Ocadia sinensis. In this study, we determined the distribution of Korean freshwater turtles based on a field study and literature study, and considered the taxonomic position of unidentified native turtles. The study was carried out between May 2010 and November 2011 during the day time, and the capturing tool used to collect turtles consisted of net and metal frame. C. reevesii and P. sinensis were found in 16 and 11 places, respectively. C. reevesii, which inhabits the Korean peninsula, is a taxonomically controversial species, but it is presumed that the turtle belongs to Mauremys. Moreover recent taxonomic studies of the soft-shell turtle have shown that the Korean native species is P. maackii, and P. sinensis was imported from abroad and has been in the natural habitats of Korea since 1970s. The exterior shape and skeletal form of P. maackii and P. sinensis are nearly similar. However, the skin color and yellow spots on the shell could be used to distinguish the two species.

This study is to investigate the effects of Chinemys reevesii (CR) on allergic inflammation mechanism related chronic dermatitis. To investigate the effects of CR, we study inhibitory effect of CR on the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines released from RAW 264.7 cell stimulated with lipopolysaccaride (LPS), and EoL-1, THP-1, Jutkat cell stimulated with Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (DP), and LPS induced acute inflammatory BALB/c mouse model. CR reduced the levels of IL-$1{\beta}$ released from RAW 264.7 cell stimulated with LPS at 20 ug/ml, 10 ug/ml concentration. CR significantly reduced the levels of MCP-1 released from EoL-1 cell, IL-6 from THP-1 cell, and IL-4, IL-5, TNF-${\alpha}$ from Jutkat cell stimulated with DP at all the concentration. CR significantly reduced the levels of TNF-${\alpha}$, IL-6, IL-$1{\beta}$, in LPS induced inflammatory BALB/c mouse model, in a dose-dependent manner. These results suggested that CR has suppressive effects on pro-inflammatory cytokines in various inflammation related cell lines through the regulation of immune system. CR could be a therapeutic agent for treatment of chronic inflammatory dermatitis in the future.

전주의 시장에서 구입한 남생이 (갑장 21cm)를 수조에 넣어 기르던 중 5개의 알을 낳았다. 알의 크기는 3.5-3.9${\times}$1.9-2.4cm이었으며 알의 무게는 7.2-10.9g 이었다. 붉은귀거북의 알과 비교할 때 크기와 모양이 유사하여 남생이 알과 구별하기 어려우나 남생이의 알이 약간 길고 색깔도 갈색의 색조가 약간 있었다. 부란기에 넣어 3$0^{\circ}C$에서 75일간 유지하였으나 부화에는 실패하였다.

Raf protein kinases and protein kinase C는 세포질내 serine/threonine-specific protein에 속한다. 그리고 기능적인 구조와 세포내의 분포 양상은 서로 비슷하다. Raf family oncogene를 발현시키는 a-raf와 c-raf protein kinase에 대한 antibodies로써 남생이 대뇌의 raf protein kinase의 분포를 조사하였다. 일반적으로 raf protein kinase는 제한된 지역에서 즉,general pallium,hippocampal formation, pdmordiuin hippocampi,nucleus of lateral olfactory tract, basal amygdaloid nucleus와bed of stria terminalis에 나타났으며, c-raf protein kinase의 면역학적 labeling은 a-raf보다 그 범위가 넓었다. 그렇지만 labeling되는 intensity는 오히려 a-raf보다 낮았다. 그런데 a-raf에서 가장 명확한 좋은 예는 basal amygdaloid nucleus내의 구형모양의 세포인데, 이 세포는 세포질이 매우 강하게 labeling되어 지므로 ring모양과 같이 나타났다. 특히 c-raf는 protein kinase C 가 많이 나타나는 pyramidal 세포나 Purkinje세포에 많이 존재하는 것을 볼 때 protein kinase에 의하여 활성화되는 myc와 서로 상협작용을 유도한다고 제안하는 바이다.

After evaluation of antithrombotic effect of 40 herbs on platelet aggregation induced by ADP(Adenosine diphosphate), these results were obtained as follows: 1. Crude drugs exerting over 30 % of in Chinemys reevesii (Gray)hibition on platelet aggregation induced by ADP were Ganoderma japonicum (Fr.) Lloyd., Panax ginseng C. A. Mey., Gastrodia elata Bl., Thea sinensis, Chinemys reevesii (Gray), Cuscuta chinensis Lam., Cervus nippon Temminck., Biota orientalis (L.) Endl., Coriolus versicolor, Cinnamomum cassia Presl., Sophora flavescens Ait., Amomum villosum Lour., Carthamus tinctorius L., Rubus chingii Hu., Poria cocos (Schw.) Wolf., Laminana japonica Aresch., Ligustrum lucidum Ait., Angelica sineusis (Oliv.), Cyperus rotundas L., Ginkgo biloba L., Zingiber officinale Rosc., Prunus persica (L.) Batsch., Schizandra chinensis (Turcz.) Baill. and Plantago asiatica L.. 2. Of crude drugs having showed over 50% of inhibitory effect on platelet aggregation, at the concentration of $100{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, the inhibitory rates were 82.2% in Ganoderma japonicum (Fr.) Lloyd., 55% in Panax ginseng C. A. Mey., 50.8% in Gastrodia elata Bl., while at the concentration of $200{\mu}g/m{\ell}$, antithrombotic rates were 89.4% in Ganoderma japonicum (Fr.) Lloyd., 59.2% in Panax ginseng C. A. Mey., 57.9% in Thea sinensis, 52.7% in Gastrodia elata Bl.. These results suggest that the study sholuld be necessary on antithrombotic effect of solvent fractions of Ganoderma japonicum (Fr.) Lloyd., Panax ginseng C. A. Mey., Gastrodia elaha B1. and Thea sinensis and isolation of effective compound from above drugs.
