The nucleotide sequences of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions of the ribosomal DNA including the 5.8S ribosomal RNA gene (rDNA) have been determined for 11 species in order to analyze their intrageneric relationships. The total length of these sequences ranged from 530 nucleotides for Trichoderma reesei KCTC 1286 to 553 nucleotide for Trichoderma koningii IAM 12534. Generally speaking, the length of ITS1 region was about 30 nucleotides longer than that of the ITS2 region. Also, the sequences of 5.8S rDNA were more conserved in length and variation than those of ITS regions. Although the variable ITS sequences were often ambiguously aligned, the conserved sites were also found. Thus, a neighbor-joining tree was constructed using the full sequence data of the ITS regions and the 5.8S rDNA. The Trichoderma genus used to be grouped on the basis of the morphological features and especially the shape of phialides needs to be reexamined. The phylogenetic tree displayed the presence of monophylogeny in the species of Trichoderma. Therefore, it was difficult to distinguish the intrageneric relationships in the Trichoderma genus.

The importance of tick-borne diseases is increasing because of climate change, with a lack of long-term studies on tick-borne pathogens in South Korea. To understand the epidemiological characteristics of tick-borne diseases, the monthly distribution of field ticks throughout the year was studied in South Korea between May 2014 and April 2018 in a cross sectional study.

The authors experienced one case of Gronblad-Strandberg syndrome with subretinal neovascularization which showed characteristic signs of pseudoxanthoma elasticum(PXE) and angioid streak. PXE is an uncommon hereditary disorder which involves the elastic tissue of the dermis and may also involve the eye and the cardiovascular system. Angioid streaks are red or dark-brown jagged irregular lines extending in spoke like fashion toward periphery from an area of peripapillary atrophy. We report a case of Gronblad-Strandberg syndrome with subretinal neovasculari zation in a 49 year old korean female.

The Kayser-Fleischer ring, a characteristic finding in Wilson's disease, occurs in the corneal periphery and is usually yellow-brown but may by red, blue, green, ormixture of any these colors. The Kayser-Fleischer ring, copper deposition at the level of the posterior position of Descemet's membrane, is about 1 to 3mm in width and extends to the limbus without a lucid interval. In addition to involvement of Descemet's membrane, one may find anterior subcapsular sunflower cataract in Wilson's disease. The authors have recently experienced two cases of Wilson's disease. One case, a 17-year-old boy, has Kayser-Fleischer rings and anterior subcapsular sunflower cataracts in both eyes and the other, a 17-year-old aldolescent male, has dense yellow-green colored Kayser-Fleischer rings in both eyes. Both cases have been treated with penicillamine(1gr/day) and low copper diet. After treatment, clinical manifestations have been improved markedly but the Kayer-Fleischer rings have not disappeared yet.
