Misidentification of cultured cell lines results in the generation of erroneous scientific data. Hence, it is very important to identify and eliminate cell lines with a different origin from that being claimed. Various methods, such as karyotyping and isozyme analysis, can be used to detect inter-species misidentification. However, these methods have proved of little value for identifying intra-species misidentification, and it will only be through the development and application of molecular biological approaches that this will become practical. Recently, the profiling of microsatellite variants has been validated as a means of detecting gene polymorphisms and has proved to be a simple and reliable method for identifying individual cell lines. Currently, the human cell lines provided by cell banks around the world are routinely authenticated by microsatellite polymorphism profiling. Unfortunately, this practice has not been widely adopted for mouse cells lines. Here we show that the profiling of microsatellite variants can be also applied to distinguish the commonly used mouse inbred strains and to determine the strain of origin of cultured cell lines. We found that approximately 4.2% of mouse cell lines have been misidentified; this is a similar rate of misidentification as detected in human cell lines. Although this approach cannot detect intra-strain misidentification, the profiling of microsatellite variants should be routinely carried out for all mouse cell lines to eliminate inter-strain misidentification.

Many commonly used household chemicals and medical eye drops look alike, resulting in a worldwide increase in incidences of accidents caused by confusion between similar-looking agents. In this case report, we present two patients who visited the emergency department following inadvertent instillation of tinea pedis treatment solution instead of eye drops. Both patients developed corneal chemical burns following the accidental application. Notably, the visual acuity and symptoms eventually recovered for both patients after hospitalization. However, complete recovery occurred only after several weeks. Both patients were relatively old and had been prescribed eye drops after previous ophthalmic surgery. Since the eye is a sensory organ that receives visual information, ocular injuries significantly affect the quality of life and social functioning of the patient. Incidences of accidental misidentification of eye drops are steadily increasing in South Korea; unfortunately, regulatory policies are unavailable to avoid such hazards. Therefore, physicians should be mindful of the potential risks associated with misidentification of everyday household products and must spend time educating patients when prescribing eye drops. Policy regulations are warranted for products with containers that resemble eye drop bottles. Such items need to be clearly labeled with additional warnings to prevent misidentification and accidental ocular instillation.

제주마 경주 능력 개량을 위한 기초 자료 확보를 위하여 혈통 정보량과 오류량이 유전 모수 추정에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 혈통 자료는 램덤으로 혈통 정보의 삭제(0~25%) 또는 오류 유발(0~25%)과 각 수준별 20회 반복으로 모의자료를 형성하였다. 분석에 이용된 형질은 제주마 1,000m 경주의 주파 시간을 이용하였고, 상가적 유전 분산의 추정은 DF-REMLAI 알고리즘을 이용하였다. 개체의 양부모에 대한 정보 유실량과 오류량의 증가는 선형적인 회귀관계로 상가적 유전 분산 성분(유실 b = -0.079, 오류 b= -0.114)과 유전력 추정치(유실, b= -0.006; 오류, b = 0.008)의 감소를 초래했다(p<0.01). 특히 개체의 양부모에 대한 정보유실보다는 정보 오류가 상가적 유전분산량과 유전력 추정치를 보다 크게 왜곡하는 것으로 나타났다. 부 또는 모에 대한 정보의 유실과 오류의 증가도 대부분 오차 분산 성분과 영구 환경 분산 성분의 증가를 유발시키고, 상가적 유전 분산성분의 감소를 가져왔다. 원자료에서 얻은 모수를 기준으로 했을 때 양부모에 대한 정보의 유실량과 오류량이 1% 증가함에 따라 유전력은 각각 0.92% 및 1.39%씩 낮아지는 관계를 보였다 (p<0.01). 제주마의 1,000m 주파 속도에 대한 유전력은 0.60으로 추정되었지만, 초기 집단에 존재하는 혈통 정보의 누락 및 오류를 고려한다면 실제보다도 10% 정도는 낮게 추정되고 있다고 사료되었다. 이와 같은 결과는 상가적 유전 분산량의 감소는 물론, 선발에 따른 제주마의 경주 능력에 대한 유전적 개량량에도 영향을 줄 것으로 판단된다.

The specimens of caddisflies previously recorded as Sortosa distincta (Walker, 1852), Rhyacophila uchidai Kobayashi, 1989, Rhyacophila jirisana Kobayashi, 1989, Crunobiodes koriaensis Kobayashi, 1989, and Ganonema odaenum Kobayashi, 1989 from South Korea were reexamined. Rhyacophila uchidai and R. jirisana are newly synonymized with R. retracta Martynov, 1914 and R. vicina Botosaneanu, 1970, respectively. We reconfirm two synonyms, C. koriaensis with Lepidostoma sinuatum (Martynov, 1935) and G. odaenum with Psilotreta locumtenens Botosaneanu, 1970, and a misidentification of Dolophilodes affinis Levanidova and Arefina, 1996 as S. distincta. Some specimens recorded as G. odaenum are identified as Psilotreta falcula Botosaneanu, 1970.

Poisoning by Phytolacca esculenta commonly occurs by misidentification as other edible plants. The root of Phytolacca esculenta is similar to other roots, such as kudzu, balloon flower, codonopsis lanceolata, and ginseng. The author experienced four cases of Phytolacca esculenta intoxication due to misidentification as a ginseng. We report on these cases with a review of the literature.

This study was purposed to analyse the registration of Korean Fashion brands in China and to point out problems by the registration of analogous trademarks to Korean brand names. List of total 137 Korean national brands were used to collect trademarks in Chinese Trademark Office and each trademark was analysed by the nationally and the date of registration. Analogy of registered trademarks were classified by the common traits. In Result, only 61 Korean national brands were registered by Korean fashion firms in China and 37 Korean national brands were registered by Chinese firms or individuals in the same product classification or in the similar fashion product classification. And 22 Korean national brands out of 61 registered by Korean firms were also registered by Chinese firms, which may lead confusion and misidentification to Chinese consumers. Pre-registration by the Chinese firms f9r analogous or identical trademarks of the Korean fashion brand names in analogous product classification should be a serious entry barrier to Chinese market.

Earlier taxonomic studies of Korean Scutellaria reported a new record of Scutellaria hastifolia L. in Korea based on three herbarium sheets. During a reexamination of these specimens, we found that the leaf characters of these specimens differ from those in the type specimen of S. hastifolia. Based on a literature survey and confirmation of the type specimen, the specimens identified as S. hastifolia thus far were a misidentification of S. barbata D. Don. S. hastifolia is clearly different from S. barbata by single conspicuous teeth on both sides of the leaf margins and larger leaves. In addition to the distribution sites of the three specimens used in the previous study, a distribution site of the S. barbata was newly found in the southern part of Korea. In this study, we report a new distribution of S. barbata in Korea, correct a previous report of S. hastifolia, describe the morphological characters of S. barbata, and suggest a taxonomic key to Korean Scutellaria including S. barbata.

Pears (Pyrus spp.) have been grown worldwide as a kind of important economical fruits. Over 1,500 accessions collected from countries have been preserved in National Institute of Horticultural and Herbal Science, Rural Development Administration in Korea. However, redundancies and misidentification are happening in the germplasm preservation due to same cultivars which have different names in various localities (synonyms) and different cultivars which have same names (homonyms). That can lower germplasm management efficiency. The object of this study is to identify synonyms and homonyms in pear germplasms by analyzing genetic variation with four microsatellite markers: CH03d12, CH03g07, CH02b10, and EMPc117. PCR amplification with above 4 microsatellite markers was done for the 31 pear accessions, and the products were analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis. As a result, 7 synonyms and 9 homonyms were identified among 31 pear accessions. We'll compare these genotypes with phenotypes of each pear accessions, and reduces the redundancy and misidentification in pear germplasm collection for the reliable management.

The manual inspection of photovoltaic (PV) panels to meet the requirements of inspection work for large-scale PV power plants is challenging. We present a hot spot detection and positioning method to detect hot spots in batches and locate their latitudes and longitudes. First, a network based on the YOLOv3 architecture was utilized to identify hot spots. The innovation is to modify the RU_1 unit in the YOLOv3 model for hot spot detection in the far field of view and add a neural network residual unit for fusion. In addition, because of the misidentification problem in the infrared images of the solar PV panels, the DeepLab v3+ model was adopted to segment the PV panels to filter out the misidentification caused by bright spots on the ground. Finally, the latitude and longitude of the hot spot are calculated according to the geometric positioning method utilizing known information such as the drone's yaw angle, shooting height, and lens field-of-view. The experimental results indicate that the hot spot recognition rate accuracy is above 98%. When keeping the drone 25 m off the ground, the hot spot positioning error is at the decimeter level.
