We synthesized a series of binuclear pentadentate Schiff base complexes such as $Co(Ⅱ)_2$ (BSPP)($H_2O)_2$, $Co(Ⅱ)_2$ (BSPD)($H_2O)_2$, $Mn(Ⅱ)_2$ (BSPP)($H_2O)_2$ and $Mn(Ⅱ)_2$ (BSPD)($H_2O)_2$, mononuclear pentadentate Schiff base complexes such as Co(Ⅱ)(BSP)($H_2O)$ and Mn(Ⅱ)(BSP)($H_2O)$. The composition of these complexes identified by IR, UV-visible spectrum, T.G.A., DSC, and elemental analysis. The electrochemical redox processes have been examined by cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse polarography with glassy carbon electrode in 0.1M TEAP-Py(-DMSO and -DMF) as a supporting electrolyte solution. As a result of electrochemical measurements, the reduction processes for pentadentate binuclear Schiff base cobalt(Ⅱ) and manganese(Ⅱ) complexes occurred to four steps in $M(Ⅲ)_2$ / $Mn(Ⅱ)_2$ and $Mn(Ⅱ)_2$ / $M(Ⅰ)_2$ (M; Co, Mn) two processes through each two reduction steps with one electron, by contrast, the mononuclear pentadentate Schiff base cobalt(Ⅱ) and manganese(Ⅱ) complexes occurred to two steps in M(Ⅲ) / M(Ⅱ) and M(Ⅱ) / M(Ⅰ) (M; Co, Mn) two processes with one electron reduction steps.

The current study aimed to investigate the impact of CO₂ enrichment on the width of annual tree rings, earlywood and latewood, and the area of annual growth of Pinus densiflora Siebold & Zucc. grown in open-top chamber (OTC). To this end, two CO₂ enrichment cases were considered, namely 1.4 × increment (560 ppm in OTC-II) and 1.8 × (720 ppm in OTC-III) were compared with the current atmosphere (400 ppm in OTC-I). The CO₂ enrichment conditions for a period of 12 years (2010-2021) were considered, and all measurements were done through image analysis. The study showed that the increment in CO₂ concentrations positively affected the tree growth. The measurement data from the trees in OTC-III were considerably higher than those from OTC-I, whereas those from OTC-II were slightly higher than those from OTC-I. Decreasing patterns of the measured widths and area in 6-7 years after the beginning of CO₂ enrichment was found for all the OTCs. These patterns were possibly due to changes in the physiological features, such as aging. The findings of the present study can have potential uses as fundamental data for forest management considering CO₂ concentrations.

The object of this paper was to investigate the histopatological changes on dog's pulp under cavitation by irradiation of the $CO_2$ laser. The subjects were derived from four dogs, and irradiated 113.23 J/$mm^2$, 283.09 J/$mm^2$, 566.08 J/$mm^2$ in Group I, II, and III respectively. The dogs were sacrificed immediately, 24 hour, 72 hour and 1 week after $CO_2$ laser treatment. For light microscopic examination, routine H-E and PAS stains were employed. For electron microscopic observation, the teeth were fixed in 1% paraformaldehyde and 1% glutaraldehyde, decalcified teeth in 10% EDTA were stained by uranyl acetate and lead citrate. The observation was made with a Hitachi H-500 model electron microscope. The following results were obtained in this study: 1. At the early stage of the experimental sub-groups-immediately, 24 hour, 72 hour samples of Group I, II and III-coagulation necrosis and hyperemia were observed in odontoblastic and subodontoblastic pulpal layer. 2. At the 1 week sub-group of Group I, II, regenerative hyperplasia of the odontoblasts without coagulation necrosis were revealed, in addition to thickened predentin. On he other hand coagulation necrosis and atrophic change accompanying with hyperplasia were found at the 1 week sub-group of Group III. 3. Ultrastructurally, the odontoblasts appeared nuclear degeneration, vacuolar change of cytoplasmic organelles and rupture of plasma membrane at the early stage of the experimental period of all groups. 4. Under spectrohelioscopic examination, regenerative odontobalsts were seen at the 1 week specimens of Group I, II and III. 5. The pulpal response occured at 113-566 J/$mm^2$. The pathologic change of pulp tissue occured at the early experimental period but regeneration of odontoblasts could be seen after 1 week.

Fluid inclusions in amethyst from the Samcheonpo amethyst deposit of the Waryongsan area, Kyongnam generally grouped into four different types: Type I (liquid-rich and $10{\sim}23wt%$ NaCl, $Th=289{\sim}359^{\circ}C$), Type II (vapor-rich and $2{\sim}10wt%$ NaCl, $Th=304{\sim}365^{\circ}C;$), Type III (halite-bearing, $31{\sim}54wt%$ NaCl, $Th=259{\sim}510^{\circ}C;$), and Type IV ($CO_{2}-bearing\;9{\sim}13wt%\;NaCl,\;126{\sim}277^{\circ}$). Type I, II, and III inclusions are confined in the lower part of the amethyst and Type IV in the upper, which indicates significant hydrothermal activity during the earliest stage of the amethyst growth or the solidus condition of granitic rocks. The earliest fluid exsolved from the crystallizing granitic magma formed Type IIIa which is spatially associated with silicate melt inclusions. The homogenization behavior of Type IIIa inclusions by dissolution of the halite crystal after the bubble disappearance indicates that Type IIIa inclusions were trapped at some relatively elevated pressure. Exsolution of Type IIIb, I, II forming fluids with gradual decrease in their salinity was followed. The last fluid was $CO_{2}-bearing$ fluid (Type IV), which is assumed to be derived by decarbonization reactions with the surrounding sedimentary rocks. It suggests that the fine-grained granitic rocks containing the Samcheonpo amethyst crystallized at the sub-solvus condition saturated with water and exsolved abundant water.

The complex formation of branched poly(ethylene imine) (BPEI) with bivalent transition metal ions, such as Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II), have been investigated in terms of visible absorption and pH titration methods in an aqueous solution in 0.1M KCl at 30${\circ}$. The stability constants for M(II)-BPEI complexes was calculated with the modified Bjerrum method. The formation curves of M(II)-BPEI complexes showed that Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) ions formed coordination compounds with four, two, two, and two ethylene imine group, respectively. In the case of Cu(II)-BPEI complex at pH 3.4 ∼ 3.8, ${\lambda}_{max}$ was shifted to the red region with a decrease in the acidity. The overall stability constants (log $K_2$) increased as the following order, Co(II) < Cu(II) < Ni(II) < Fe(II).

A sulfuric acid leaching of $LiCoO_2$as cathodic active materials of lithium ion secondary batteries was investigated in terms of reaction variables. In the absence of a reducing agent, the extraction of cobalt was less than 40% in 2 M sulfuric acid at $75^{\circ}C$ instead of that of lithium could be almost 100% in the same conditions. To improve the Co extraction, hydrogen peroxide was used as a reducing agent in the range 2~20 vol%. When over 10vo1% hydrogen peroxide was added, the extractions of both metals were improved to about 95%. It seems to be due to the reduction of Co(III) to Co(II) that can be readily dissolved. The extractions of Co and Li were increased with increasing $H_2$$SO_4$concentration and temperature, and amount of hydrogen peroxide and with decreasing of pulp density. The optimum leaching conditions were determined at $2 M H_2$$SO_4$concentration, $75^{\circ}C$ operating temperature, 100 g/L. initial pulp density, 20 vol% $H_2$$O_2$addition and 30 min.

Gingivectomy has been utilized as a therapeutic method to remove diseased periodontal pocket wall in order to aid in root planing. Although chemical agents and electrosurgery has been used in addition to the conventional method of using surgical blades, difficulties in controling the depth of chemical penetration and effectively regenerating the gingival tissue as well as the slow wound healing has been pointed out as shortcomings of these methods. This study was designed to assess the effect of Aloe vera on wound healing of gingivectomy sites created by $CO_2$ laser on palatal gingiva of maxillary molar region of white rats. Those sites treated by surgical blades were designated as control, by $CO_2$ laser as Experimental group I, by surgical blades in addition to topical application of Aloe vera as Experimental group II, and by $CO_2$ laser and Aloe vera application as Experimental group III. Animals were sacrificed at 2 days, 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks and 3 weeks postoperatively, and the specimens were histologically analyzed. The results were as follows : 1. Resorption of blood clots were observed in the control at 3rd day, followed by the rest of the experimental groups at 1 week postoperatively. 2. Persistent inflammation was observed up to 1 week in the control and Experimental group II and III, and until the 2nd week in Experimental group I. 3. Granulation tissue was observed up to 1 week in the control, and 2 weeks in the rest of the groups. 4. Epithelization started on the 2nd day. The control showed the most rapid epithelization, and the process was completed by the 2nd week in all groups. 5. Experimental group II and III, which were treated with Aloe vera, showed similar healing patterns to the control and Experimental group I.

Background: To explore the relationship between CXCR4, CD133 co-expression and clinicopathological features as well as prognosis of patients with phase II~III colon cancer. Materials and Methods: Forty-nine paraffin-embedded samples of tumor tissue and epithelial tissue adjacent to cancer were collected from patients with colon cancer undergoing radical surgery in Baotou Cancer Hospital from January, 2010 to June, 2011. CXCR4 and CD133 expression was detected using immunohistochemistry and its relationship with clinicopathological features and the 3-year survival rate was analyzed. Results: In the tumor tissue and colonic epithelial tissue adjacent to cancer, the positive expression rates of CXCR4 were respectively 61.2% (30/49) and 8.16% (4/49), while those of CD133 being 36.7% (18/49) and 6.12% (3/49). CXCR4 and CD133 expression in tumor tissue was not related to patient age, gender, primary focal sites, tumor size, TNM staging, histological type, tumor infiltration depth and presence or absence of lymphatic metastasis, but CXCR4 and CD133 co-expression was associated with TNM staging and lymphatic metastasis. The 3-year survival rate of patients with CXCR4 and CD133 co-expression was 27.3% (3/11), and that of the remainderwas 76.3% (29/38), the difference being significant ($X^2=7.0206$, p=0.0081). Conclusions: CXCR4 and CD133 co-expression may be a risk factor for poor prognosis of patients with stage II~III colon cancer.

The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the efficacy of self-etching primer which was developed to simplify the bonding procedures by measuring the shear bond strength and observing the interfacial morphology. 90 flat dentinal surfaces were prepared by grinding the buccal and lingual areas of caries-free human deciduous molars. After bonding of composite resin to sample surfaces according to the manufacturer's direction and thermocycling, shear bond strengths were measured using Universal testing machine(Instron). Another groups of specimens were treated by hydrochloric acid to secure the resin only and those tags were evaluated under SEM for their length and forms and the morphology of the bonding sites were also observed. The result as follows. 1. Group III showed higher shear bond strength than group I and II but no statistically significant difference was founded between group I and II(p>.05). 2. Adhesive failure was predominant in group II whereas dentin detachment was the main failure pattern in group I and III. 3. Relating long resin tags of $100-200{\mu}m$ were observed in samples of all groups under SEM. In group I, homogeneously long resin tags were arranged rather tight whereas rather loosely arranged resin tags of various length were found in group II. Lateral branching of resin tags was the characteristic finding observed in group III.

A valence bond method of calculation of the dipole moments for octahedral $(M(III)0_3S_3)$ type complexes are developed, using $d^2sp^3 $hybrid orbitals of the central metal ions and the single basis set orbital of ligands. (M (III) =V (III), Cr (III), Mn (III), Fe (III), Co (III), Ru (III), Rh (III) and OS (III)). In this method the mixing coefficient of the valence basis sets for the central metal ion with the appropriate ligand orbitals is not required to be the same, differently from the molecular orbital method. The valence bond method is much more easier to calculate the dipole moments for octahedral complexes than the approximate molecular orbital method and the calculated results are also in the range of the experimental vaues.
