2-Hydroxymethyl-2,5-dihydrothiophene 1,1-dioxide (1) was prepared from thiophene-2-carboxylic acid by consecutive reactions involving the Birch reduction, esterification, reduction with lithium aluminum hydride, and oxidation with Oxone$^{\circledR}$. The esterification of alcohol 1 with various unsaturated carboxylic acids provided the precursors 8 for the intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction. The cheletropic expulsion of sulfur dioxide from the esters 8 followed by intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction furnished bicyclic ${\gamma}$-and ${\delta}$-lactones.

Isoxazolidine derivatives 7 and 8 were synthesized from N-benzyl-C-(2-benzyloxyethyl)nitrones by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with ethyl crotonate. The isoxazolidine derivatives were converted to β-amino acid esters 9a and 9b by reduction with zinc in acetic acid. The β-amino acid esters were reacted with methylmagnesium bromide to give the 2-azetidinones (13a, 13b). The benzyl group of 2-azetidinones were removed by Birch reduction. The products were oxidized with PDC to give 3-[1-(t-butyldimethylsilyloxy)ethyl]-4-carboxymethyl-2-azetidinone derivatives (2a, 2c).

Antifungal activities of volatile vapours of essential oils were investigated. Volatile vapours of test essential oils except Cedar-wood and Pachouri showed inhibitory activity against test fungi. Volatile vapours of Birch essential oils exhibited fungistatic activity against dermatophytic filamentous fungi while others did fungicidal activity. Spores of dermatophytic filamentous fungi are more susceptible to volatile vapours of essential oils than mycelia.

This study was conducted to investigate the germination characteristics through the temperature change treatment compared to the general room temperature immersion treatment of the native species, the Larix kaempferi, and the Berula platyphyllavar. japonica seeds, and to obtain basic data for the production of healthy seedlings with high productivity and efficiency. As a result, the germination rate of the larch seeds showed a significant difference according to room temperature and temperature immersion treatment, and the average germination days of the birch seeds showed a significant difference according to room temperature immersion and temperature immersion treatment. On the other hand, there was no significant difference in germinal uniformity. The results of the study are as follows. First, the results of the analysis of the fallen leaves were the highest germination rate in the treatment of 1.5 days of hot water and 1.5 days of cold water, the fastest germination rate, the lowest average germination day, and the highest germination uniformity. This is the best result in most items, and the change temperature immersion treatment of hot and cold baths was superior to the conventional room temperature immersion treatment. Second, the results of birch tree showed that the germination rate was the highest in 1.5 days of hot water and 1.5 days of cold water. The average germination day is 1.5 days of cold water 1.5 days of hot water 1.5 days, but the difference between 1.5 days of hot water and 1.5 days of cold water is 0.01 days. The highest germinated uniformity was found in 1.5 days of cold water and 1.5 days of hot water. As a result, in the case of larch and birch, the seed temperature immersion (1.5 days of hot water, 1.5 days of cold water) treatment is superior to the existing three-day immersion treatment in various analysis methods, and it is expected that productivity and efficiency can be improved at a low cost in a short period of time at the seedling production site through seeds.

4종의 판상형 목재제품의 방염제 도포량과 침지시간에 따른 방염성능을 분석하기 위하여 소방청의 방염성능기준에 따라 목재제품의 탄화길이와 탄화면적을 측정하였다. 잣나무 합판, 낙엽송 합판, 편백 판재, 타공처리된 자작나무 합판에 자체 개발된 방염제를 각각 300, 500 g/㎡씩 도포하고 방염처리되지 않은 시험편과 비교하였다. 일반적으로 방염제의 도포량이 증가함에 따라 탄화길이와 탄화면적이 감소하여 방염성능이 증가하는 경향을 나타냈으나, 낙엽송 합판을 제외하고 탄화길이와 탄화면적의 감소량이 크지 않았다. 타공처리된 자작나무 합판의 침지시간에 따른 방염성능은 60분의 침지시간까지 양의 상관관계를 나타냈으나, 그 이후 점차 완만해지는 경향을 보였다. 방염제의 도포량과 침지시간에 따른 목재제품의 방염성능은 추후 방염성능 기준에 맞는 불연·준불연 목재의 생산을 위한 기초자료로 이용될 것으로 기대된다.

Purpose: Aeroallergens are important causative factors of allergic diseases. Previous studies on aeroallergen sensitization rates investigated patients groups that had visited pediatric allergy clinics. In contrast, we investigated sensitization rates in a general population group of elementary school to teenage students in Incheon, Jeju, and Ulsan. Methods: After obtaining parental consent, skin-prick tests were performed on 5,094 students between March and June 2010. Elementary school students were tested for 18 common aeroallergens, whereas middle and high school students were tested for 25 allergens. The 25 allergens included Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, Dermatophagoides farinae, pollen (birch, alder, oak, Japanese cedar, pine, willow, elm, maple, Bermuda grass, timothy grass, rye grass, orchard grass, meadow grass, vernal grass, mugwort, Japanese hop, fat hen, ragweed, and plantain), and mold (Penicillatum, Aspergillus, Cladosporium, and Alternaria). Results: The sensitization rates in descending order were 25.79% (D. pteronyssinus ), 18.66% (D. farinae ), 6.20% (mugwort), and 4.07% (willow) in Incheon; 33.35% (D. pteronyssinus ), 24.78% (D. farinae), 15.36% (Japanese cedar), and 7.33% (Alternaria) in Jeju; and 32.79% (D. pteronyssinus), 30.27% (D. farinae), 10.13% (alder), and 8.68% (birch) in Ulsan. The dust mite allergen showed the highest sensitization rate among the 3 regions. The sensitization rate of tree pollen was the highest in Ulsan, whereas that of Alternaria was the highest in Jeju. The ragweed sensitization rates were 0.99% in Incheon, 1.07% in Jeju, and 0.81% in Ulsan. Conclusion: The differences in sensitization rates were because of different regional environmental conditions and distinct surrounding biological species. Hence, subsequent nationwide studies are required.

흰자작나무의 껍질에서 발견된 자연적으로 발생한 triterpene 인 betulinic acid (BA)가 다양한 종류의 암세포와 동물 모델에서 세포사멸을 유도하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 하지만 자궁경부암세포에서 BA의 화학적 암예방 효과는 연구되지 않은 상태이다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 사람 자궁경부암세포주인 KB세포를 이용하여, BA가 세포증식을 감소시키고 세포사멸을 유도하는 것을 확인하였다. KB 세포에서 BA에 의해 유도되는 세포증식의 억제는 specificity protein 1 (Sp1)과 Sp1의 표적단백질인 myeloid cell leukemia-1 (Mcl-1) 그리고 survivin의 감소 때문인 것으로 확인되었다. 따라서 BA는 자궁경부암에서 과다 발현되는 Sp1을 조절하는 새로운 화학적 암예방 물질로서 작용할 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

One of the widely used applications of remote sensing studies is environmental change detection and biodiversity conservation. The study area Hustai Mountain is situated in the transition zone between the Siberian taiga forest and Central Mongolian arid steppe. Hustai National Park carries out one of several reintroduction programs of takhi (wild horse or Equus ferus przewalskii) from various zoos in the world and it represents one of a few textbook examples of successful reintroduction of an animal extinct in the wild. In this paper we describe the results of an analysis on the change of remaining forest area over the 7-year period since Hustai Mountain was designated as a protected area for reintroduction to wild horses. Today the forested area covers approximately 5% of the Hustai National Park, mostly the north-facing slopes above 1400 m altitude. Birch (Betula platyphylla) and aspen (Populus tremula) trees are predominant in the forest. We used Landsat ETM+ images from two different years and multi temporal MODIS NDVI data. Land types were determined by supervised classification methods (Maximum Likelihood algorithm) verified with ground-truthing data and the Land Change Modeler (LCM) which was developed by Clark Labs. Forested area was classified into three different land types, namely the forest land, mountain meadow and mountain steppe. The study results illustrate that the remaining birch forest has rapidly changed to fragmented forest land and to open areas. Underlying causes for such a rapid change during the 15-year period may be manifold. However, the responsible factors appear to be the drying off and outbreak of forest pest species (such as gypsy moth or Lymantria dispar) in the area.

To find the optimal propagation condition for endangered Cypripedium macranthos Sw., also known as lady's slipper orchid, the effect of various organic additives on in vitro germination, protocorm formation and seedling growth was investigated during asymbiotic seed culture. When $100ml{\cdot}L^{-1}$ coconut water was added to the basal medium, the highest germination rate and protocorm formation rate were achieved, with 70.8% and 74.2% respectively. Supplementation of phloem sap from birch tree or maple tree also showed a facilitating effect to improve the germination and protocorm development. With $100ml{\cdot}L^{-1}$ birch sap or maple sap, both the germination and protocorm formation rates were roughly more than 65% and 68%. The roots and buds of the seedlings grew vigorously in the medium containing $100ml{\cdot}L^{-1}$ coconut water or phloem sap, in particular, their bud formation rates increased by more than 70%. Addition of banana powder and peptone could not create a more significantly favorable culture condition, and non-addition had the worst results. Our results demonstrated that proper organic amendments such as coconut water and phloem sap might be preferred to in vitro germination and the growth of seedlings developed from the protocorm of C. macranthos Sw. during asymbiotic seed culture.
