Regionally divergent roles of the South Korean state in adopting improved crop varieties and commercializing agriculture (1960 –1980): a case study of areas in Jeju and Jeollanamdo
AbstractThe South Korean government ’s historical efforts to introduce improved crop varieties have been ambiguously successful. State-bred rice varieties helped achieve national food production goals during the Green Revolution of the 1970s, but these varieties were highly unpopular and were abandoned soon, as the government stoppe d promoting them. This paper contrasts that experience with the simultaneous successful introduction of an improved variety of tangerine (Citrus unshiu) as a cash crop in Jeju Province. Smallholders of Jeju found space for the high-return fruit in the existing land use system, including the p...

Eco-friendly control of licorice aqueous extract to increase quality and resistance to postharvest decay in apple and tangerine fruits
ConclusionsTherefore, the licorice aqueous extract treatment could postpone the blue mold decay in apple fruits and green mold decay in tangerine without any significant effect on fruit quality characteristics. It can be considered as a new eco-friendly control in fruit preservation, while it did not result in any significant adverse effect on the quality.

Occupational Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis in a Japanese Citrus Farmer
Intern Med. 2021 May 22. doi: 10.2169/internalmedicine.7588-21. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) sometimes develops in people working in specific environments. We herein report a case of occupation-related HP in a citrus farmer in Japan. A 66-year-old man developed a fever, dyspnea, and general malaise in March after working near a trash dump filled with moldy tangerines. He presented with leukocytosis, bilateral lung opacities on chest radiographs, and intra-alveolar and interstitial lymphocytic inflammation with fibrotic change on a lung biopsy. His symptoms disappeared after admission and ...

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTp-cymene also known as p-cymol or p-isopropyltoluene is an alkyl-substituted aromatic compound naturally occurring in essential oils (EOs) of various aromatic plants, including the genus of Artemisia, Protium, Origanum, and Thymus. It is related to the family of terpenes, especially monocyclic monoterpenes. p-cymene is also present in several food-based plants such as carrots, orange juice, grapefruit, tangerine, raspberries and several spices. Numerous studies have demonstrated the pharmacological properties of the monoter...

Comparative Evaluation of Microbiota Dynamics and Metabolites Correlation Between Spontaneous and Inoculated Fermentations of Nanfeng Tangerine Wine
Understanding the evolution of microorganisms and metabolites during wine fermentation is essential for controlling its production. The structural composition and functional capacity of the core microbiota determine the quality and quantity of fruit wine. Nanfeng tangerine wine fermentation involves a complex of various microorganisms and a wide variety of metabolites. However, the microbial succession and functional shift of the core microbiota in this product fermentation remain unclear. Therefore, high-throughput sequencing (HTS) and headspace-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS/GC-MS) were employed to reveal the c...

Current Bladder Dysfunction Reports Thulium Laser Prostatectomy
AbstractPurpose of ReviewThe purpose of this review is to summarize the literature on safety and efficacy of minimally invasive thulium laser procedures for benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH).Recent FindingsRecent studies have confirmed long-term safety and efficacy of thulium laser prostatectomy. There has been recent literature published from around the world confirming safety and efficacy in treatment of large prostates, obese patients, and in patients taking oral anticoagulation. Newer thulium laser systems use a wavelength of 1.9 μm instead of 2 μm. Thus far, no clinical differences have been seen in outcomes of thu...
