Puimonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis is very rare, especially when accompanied by active pulmonary. tuberculosis. A patient was hospitalized due to excessive dyspnea and she was diagnosed with active pulmonary tuberculosis by a sputum AFB smear. The HRCT taken after hospitalization showed multiple micronodules and tiny cysts. An open lung biopsy confirmed the coexistence of pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis.

폐 기관지는 외부의 공기를 폐까지 전달해주는 역할을 하고 있다. 이는 병리학적, 해부학적으로 중요한 역할을 하고 있으며, 의사들에게는 기관지의 상태를 시각적으로 쉽게 판독을 할 수 있다면 폐에서 발생하는 기관지염(bronchitis), 기관지 확장증(bronchiectasis), 폐기종(pulmonary emphysema), 결핵(tuberculosis), 기흉(pneumothorax)등 여러 가지 병명을 쉽게 판독이 가능하다. 지금까지 폐 기관지에 대한 연구가 지속적으로 진행 되었으며, 2D CT 영상에서의 주변의 밀도차가 유사한 폐실 질에서의 폐기관지를 추출해 내는 것은 어려움을 Gray-scale Reconstruction과 임계치를 이용하여 추출하였다. 이는 3D 구성을 위한 전 단계로 인체 내부의 장기를 가상의 영상을 실제와 가까운 영상으로 구현하는데 쓰인다.

Physical and chemical properties of waste LCD glass were investigated to test the feasibility of feed materials for the production of foamed glass. For this study, chemical analysis, thermal analysis, rheological consideration with the viscosity change under high temperature and thermal expansion coefficient were carried out and the trial production of foamed glass as; in spherical and block type also attempted. All results showed waste LCD glass would be a good feed material for the production of foamed glass and foaming technology of LCD glass would be an effective recycling alternative.

Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) is a rare disease in women in childbearing age leading to progressive respiratory failure. LAM is characterized by an abnormal harmartomatous proliferation of smooth muscle cells surrounding the blood vessels, lymphatics and airways in the lung. This proliferation leads to airway obstruction, cystic alveolar change and lymphatic obstruction. Patients present with dyspnea, pneumothorax, cough, chest pain, hemoptysis, and chylous effusion. Although lung transplantation is the only therapeutic modality in end-stage LAM with respiratory failure, there has not been any report of successful treatment in Korea. We report one case of successful left single lung transplantation in a 40 year old woman suffering from end-stage LAM.

Epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (HE) is a very rare malignant tumor that is pathologically benign tumor originating from endothelial cell but clinically presents metastasis and recurrence. A 29-year-old asymptomatic man, preoperatively diagnosed as lung cancer in the left lower lung, underwent a lobectomy, a wedge lung resection of left upper lung, and partial resection of diaphragm. Left lower lobar lesion was confirmed as pulmonary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma, but the lesions of the left upper lung and diaphragm were remained calcified by spontaneous regression of HE. We report a case of subcutaneous metastasis that occurred two times at 10 months and 19 months after previous surgical treatment of pulmonary EH.

An unusual case of primary leiomyosarcoma at the left lower posterior chest wall with metastasis to the right lung parenchyme is presented. The patient was a 43-year-old man who was asymptomatic but a slow growing hard mass was noted at the left lower posterior chest wall. The chest computed tomography showed a tumor at the left lower posterior chest wall with multiple metastasis to the right lung. The left lower posterior chest wall mass was examined by percutaneous needle aspiration and it was revealed as rhabdomyosarcoma histologically. En bloc resection to the left lower posterior chest wall tumor and metastasectomy to the multiple nodules in the right lung were done and pathological examination finally revealed primary leiomyosarcoma at the left lower posterior chest wall with multiple metastasis to the right lung. Chemotherapy was scheduled as adjunctive measure.

Physical and chemical properties of waste glass, such as bottle glass, plate glass, and LCD glass were investigated to test the feasibility of starting materials for the production of high quality foamed glass for insulating grade construction material without pre-treatments such as cleaning, and waste removals. For this purpose, chemical analysis, thermal analysis, crystalline analysis, and rheological analysis including viscosity were proceeded and the preparation of foamed glass under the qualitative conditions obtained from these various analysis was also attempted. Overall results of various analysis and investigations for these waste glass showed that waste bottle glass and plate glass have high possivility of use as feed materials for the production of foamed glass.

We have investigated biosorption kinetics and equilibrium of $Pb^2+$ and $Cr^2+$ using waste sludge, and separation efficiency of waste sludge by dissolved air flotation was evaluated in the various A/S ratio. The biosorption capacity and contact time were shown as a simulation of biosorption equilibrium and kinetics models. Biosorption equilibrium of the $Pb^2+$ and $Cr^2+$ onto the waste sludge could be fitted by the Langmuir, Freundlich, Redlich-Peterson, and Koble-Corrigan equation. The kinetics could be fitted by a pseudo-second-order rate equation more than a pseudo-first-order rate equation. The separation efficiency of waste sludge using DAF was kept above 90%.

Systemic arterial supply from the aorta to the lung is a rare congenital anomaly within the spectrum of bronchopulmonary sequestration according to Pryce's terminology. We describe our experience of this anomaly in an infant with congenital cardiac disease confirmed by multidetector CT scan. We found a systemic arterial supply from the aorta to the right lower lobe of lung without right lower lobar pulmonary artery and bronchopulmonary sequestration. This combination of congenital anomaly is most rare form.

The removal of phosphorus was investigated from sewage waste water (SWW) using the used foundry sand (UFS). The optimal pH occurred at pH 2 for adsorption of phosphorus species in batch test. Phosphorus could be recovered with 99.9% from SWW in two hours at pH 2 using 100 g of UFS per liler of SWW. The adsorption of phosphorus species on UFS obeyed Langmuir isotherm, whose equation could be expressed by 1= 0.00059/(1+2.49878). Continuous column test for adsorption showed that breakthrough point appeared In 25 hours on the condition of breakthrough concentration of 8 mg/l
