Background: In Korea, Symplocos prunifolia Siebold. & Zucc. is only found on Jeju Island. Conservation of the species is difficult because little is known about its distribution and natural habitat. The lack of research and survey data on the characteristics of native vegetation and distribution of this species means that there is insufficient information to guide the management and conservation of this species and related vegetation. Therefore, this study aims to identify the distribution and vegetation associated with S. prunifolia. Results: As a result of field investigations, it was confirmed that the native S. prunifolia communities were distributed in 4 areas located on the southern side of Mt. Halla and within the evergreen broad-leaved forest zones. Furthermore, these evergreen broad-leaved forest zones are themselves located in the warm temperate zone which are distributed along the valley sides at elevations between 318 and 461 m. S. prunifolia was only found on the south side of Mt. Halla, and mainly on south-facing slopes; however, small communities were found to be growing on northwest-facing slopes. It has been confirmed that S. prunifolia trees are rare but an important constituent species in the evergreen broad-leaved forest of Jeju. The mean importance percentage of S. prunifolia community was 48.84 for Castanopsis sieboldii, 17.79 for Quercus acuta, and 12.12 for Pinus thunbergii; S. prunifolia was the ninth most important species (2.6). Conclusions: S. prunifolia can be found growing along the natural streams of Jeju, where there is little anthropogenic influence and where the streams have caused soil disturbance through natural processes of erosion and deposition of sediments. Currently, the native area of S. prunifolia is about 3300 ㎡, which contains a confirmed population of 180 individual plants. As a result of these low population sizes, it places it in the category of an extremely endangered plant in Korea. In some native sites, the canopy of evergreen broad-leaved forest formed, but the frequency and coverage of species were not high. Negative factors that contributed to the low distribution of this species were factors such as lacking in shade tolerance, low fruiting rates, small native areas, and special habitats as well as requiring adequate stream disturbance. Presently, due to changes in climate, it is unclear whether this species will see an increase in its population and habitat area or whether it will remain as an endangered species within Korea. What is clear, however, is that the preservation of the present native habitats and population is extremely important if the population is to be maintained and expanded. It is also meaningful in terms of the stable conservation of biodiversity in Korea. Therefore, based on the results of this study, it is judged that a systematic evaluation for the preservation and conservation of the habitat and vegetation management method of S. prunifolia should be conducted.

현재 복합레진의 중합에 사용되는 광원으로 할로겐광 중합기, 플라즈마 아크 중합기, 레이저, LED 등이 사용되고 있으나 광조사에 따른 온도 증가와 중합 깊이 등이 수복치과학의 오랜 관심이었다. 본 연구의 목적은 광원에 따라 얼마나 온도 증가가 일어나는지, 그리고 중합 깊이에 따른 표면경도를 측정함으로써 전통적인 할로겐광 중합기에 대해 새로 개발된 중합기의 중합능력을 비교 평가하는 것이다. 기존의 할로겐광 중합기(Optilux 360)에 대해 최근 시판되는 플라즈마 아크 중합기(Flipo), 열 발생을 감소시킨 플라즈마 아크 중합기(Aurys), LED(Starlight), 그리고 중합시간을 감소시킨 고강도 LED(Freelight 2) 등을 광원으로 사용하였다. 우선 상온$(23^{\circ}C)$에서 각 중합기 표면의 온도를 측정한 후 각각 2, 3, 4mm의 테플론 mold에 레진(Z-100, $A_2\;Shade$)을 충전하고 하면에서 중합시 최고 온도를 측정하였으며 각 시편 상, 하면의 미세경도를 측정하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 중합기 표면의 온도를 측정한 결과 Flipo가 평균 $52.4^{\circ}C$로 가장 높았고 Freelight $2(37.86^{\circ}C),\;Optilux\;360(32.68^{\circ}C),\;Aurys(32.34^{\circ}C),\;Starlight(26.14^{\circ}C)$ 순으로 낮게 나타났다. 2. 복합레진을 2, 3, 4mm 테플론 mold에 채우고 중합시 온도 변화를 측정한 결과 Flipo와 Freelight 2가 유사하게 가장 높았고 Optilux 360과 Aurys가 유사하게 그 다음이었으며 Starlight가 가장 낮게 나타났다. 3. 복합레진 상면의 미세경도는 전반적으로 유사하였으나 Aurys로 중합한 군에서 약간 낮게 측정되었다. 4. 복합레진 하면의 미세경도는 2, 3, 4mm모두에서 Optilux 360과 Freelight 2로 중합한 군에서 유사하게 가장 높았고 그 다음이 Flipo, Starlight 순이었으며 Aurys로 중합한 군에서 가장 낮게 측정되었다. 연구 결과에서 볼 때 Flipo와 Freelight 2를 주의깊게 사용한다면 중합도와 시간면에서 임상적으로 유용하게 사용될 수 있으리라 사료된다.
