Relationship Between Problematic Alcohol Use and Various Psychiatric Disorders: A Genetically Informed Study.

Objective: Problematic alcohol use (PAU) adversely affects the clinical course of psychiatric disorders. Genetic studies have suggested that genetic factors underlie the co-occurrence of PAU with psychiatric disorders. This study aimed to elucidate shared genetic architectures, prioritizing genes that disorders may have in common.

A new species of the genus Unilepidotricha (Lepidoptera, Meessiidae) from Ulleungdo island, Korea.

In this study, we describe a new species, Unilepidotricha ulleungensis sp. nov., from Korea.

A new species of the genus Heylaerts, 1885 (Lepidoptera, Psychidae) from Korea with its natural parasitoid enemy.

Roh & Lee, is described as new to science. The morphology of male adult, including genitalia, is described, and DNA barcodes for precise identification of the species are provided. A parasitoid, Townsend, 1916 (Diptera, Tachinidae) of is also reported for the first time in Korea, together with its DNA barcode sequence.

Genome-wide association analyses using machine learning-based phenotyping reveal genetic architecture of occupational creativity and overlap with psychiatric disorders.

Creativity is known to be heritable and exhibits familial aggregation with psychiatric disorders; however, the complex nature of their relationship has not been well-established. In the present study, we demonstrate that using an expanded and validated machine learning (ML)-based phenotyping of occupational creativity (OC) can allow us to further understand the trait of creativity, which was previously difficult to define and study. We conducted the largest genome-wide association study (GWAS) on OC with 241,736 participants from the UK Biobank and identified 25 lead variants that have not yet been reported and three candidate causal genes that were previously associated with educational attainment and psychiatric disorders.

A new species of the genus Tutt (Lepidoptera, Psychidae) from Korea, based on morphology and DNA barcodes.

Background: The genus Tutt, 1899 (Lepidoptera, Psychidae) comprises 14 species found throughout the world. In East Asia, three species, Hättenschwiler & Chao, 1990, Saigusa & Sugimoto, 2014 and Saigusa & Sugimoto, 2014, are known from Korea, Japan and China.

New Information: Roh & Lee, sp.

Leveraging genetic overlap between irritability and psychiatric disorders to identify genetic variants of major psychiatric disorders.

Irritability is a heritable core mental trait associated with several psychiatric illnesses. However, the genomic basis of irritability is unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to 1) identify the genetic variants associated with irritability and investigate the associated biological pathways, genes, and tissues as well as single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-based heritability; 2) explore the relationships between irritability and various traits, including psychiatric disorders; and 3) identify additional and shared genetic variants for irritability and psychiatric disorders.

Complete mitochondrial genome of little ringed plover (Charadriiformes, Charadriidae).

This study encoded the complete mitochondrial genomic sequence of the little ringed plover . The mitochondrial genome has a total length of 16,864 bp, consisting of 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, two rRNA genes, and a control region. The nucleotide composition was 23.

Review of the genus Meganola Dyar, 1898 (Lepidoptera: Nolidae, Nolinae) from Korea, with the description of a new species.

The genus Meganola Dyar, 1898 is reviewed for Korea, with 12 species, including the new species, Meganola parki Oh Cha, sp. n. Illustrations of adults and genitalia of all the Korean species are provided, with a key to species of Meganola based on the external morphology and male genitalia.

Three new species of Diduga Moore, [1887] (Lepidoptera, Erebidae, Arctiinae) from Cambodia.

Three new species of the genus Diduga, D. dubatolovi n. sp.

Genus Microlithosia (Lepidoptera, Erebidae, Arctiinae) in Laos, with the description of a new species.

Microlithosia Daniel, 1954 from Laos is reviewed. A new species, Microlithosia laosana Bayarsaikhan Bae, n. sp.

[A Case Report Of Sparganosis].

A case of sparganosis was presented. The patient was a 43-year-old Korean male who had a history of having eaten raw flesh of snake and frog in Keoje Island during 1950 to 1952 for the purpose of treatment of arthritis by the oriental custom. In the summer, l959, he had slight itching sensation in the left lower scrotal area.
