Benign fibrous histiocytoma is characteristically composed of fibroblastic and histiocytic cells. Most commonly, this tumor occurs in the dermis and superficial subcutis, but it is uncommon in the knee. We experienced a case of deep benign fibrohistiocytoma in a 38-year-old woman who complained of palpable tender mass on the medial aspect of the right knee. MR imaging findings included a well-delineated oval mass with low signal intensity on T1-weighted and high-signal intensity of T2-weighted images, as well as a marked peripheral contrast enhancement. Histopathologically, the lesion contained a mixture of fibroblastic and histiocytic cells that were often arranged in a cartwheel or storiform pattern and accompanied by varying numbers of inflammatory cells, foam cells, and siderophages. After surgical removal of the lesion, no recurrence was observed.

형질전환된 담배세포 배양을 이용한 hGM-CSF 생산에 있어 polyurethane foam 내 고정화법을 이용하여 연속배양의 가능성을 확인하였고 spinner flask에서의 배양에 따른 영향을 알아보았다. 16일 동안 3번의 배지교환에도 세포의 활성이 유지되어 hGM-CSF 생산량은 계속적으로 증가하였다. 온도와 교반속도를 동일하게 하였을 때 spinner flask에서의 hGM-CSF 생산량은 17.3 ${\mu}g/L$으로 100-mL flask의 9.8 ${\mu}g/L$보다 증가하였다. 따라서 최적의 배지교환 속도와 양을 결정하여 spinner flask에서 연속배양을 실시할 경우 세포 재사용이라는 경쟁력과 함께 높은 hGM-CSF 생산량이 얻어질 것으로 예상된다.

용매추출에 의한 구연산발효를 시도하였다. 발효 배지내 구연산 농도와 추출용매의 독성이 구연산의 생산성을 결정하는 주 인자였다. 특히 이온화되지 않은 구연산은 강력한 발효억제효과를 가져 구연산 농도가 $5g/\ell$ 이상이면 구연산 생산은 거의 중지되었다. 구연산 추출효율을 높이기 위해 3차 아민과 oleyl alcohol의 혼합액을 용매로 사용하였다. 구연산의 추출발효에 척함한 용매조성은 30% 아민 70 % oleyl alcohol로 밝혀졌다. 이 조건에서 추출발효시 구연산농도는 $15.2g/\ell$ 로 동임한 조건에셔 용매 를 첨가하지 않고 발효하여 얻은 구연산농도 $5g/\ell$에 비해 3배 이상 높았다. 아빈 농도가 30%를 념으 면 추출능은 향상되나 용매의 독성효과로 생산성은 오히려 감소하였다. 균체에 대한 용매의 독성효과는 균체를 polyure-thane foam에 고정화함으로써 현저하게 줄일 수 있었다.

Oral verruciform xanthoma (OVX) is an uncommon lesion that appears on the oral mucosa. The aim of this paper was to discuss the probable etiopathogenesis of OVX in the hard palate, reinforcing the importance of including this lesion in the differential diagnosis of verrucous lesions. A 43-year-old male smoker presented with a painless lesion with a verrucous surface and erythematous spots on the hard palate. Excisional biopsy revealed oral mucosa consisting of hyperkeratosis, acanthosis, and elongated rete pegs. Subjacent connective tissue showed numerous foam cells with clear cytoplasm and pyknotic nucleus, negative on periodic acid-Schiff staining. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed foam cells positive for anti-CD68 antibody, while anti-KI-67 antibody was restricted to the basal layer of the oral epithelium. A final diagnosis of OVX was established. The patient showed no signs of recurrence after seven months of follow-up. Physical trauma and smoking habits can be directly related to the etiology of verruciform xanthoma because the lesion is chronic and inflammatory with slow growth, and sites if high trauma are more often affected by such a lesion. The hard palate is the second most commonly affected site, and local trauma caused by smoking can be a cause of this type of lesion.

초임계 $CO_2(scCO_2)$를 사용하여 poly(butylene succinate) (PBS)를 발포하였다. PBS는 용융 강도를 높이기 위하여 반응 컴파운딩 기법으로 개질하였다. $scCO_2$로 포화된 PBS를 강하 융점 이상의 온도에서 빠르게 압력을 낮춤으로써 미세기포 발포체를 제조하였다. 발포체의 구조는 공정 조건을 변화시켜 제어할 수 있었다. 다른 변수들은 고정하고 발포 온도만 변화시킨 실험은 발포 온도가 높을수록 셀 크기는 증가하고, 셀 밀도는 감소함을 보여주었다. 포화 압력이 클수록 기핵 밀도가 높아졌으며, 그 결과로 셀의 크기는 감소하였다. 감압 속도가 느린 경우에는 셀이 장시간 동안 팽창함으로써 보다 큰 셀이 얻어졌다.

Gastric xanthoma which is not a true neoplasm and clinically insignificant consists of the small yellowish lesion of the gastric mucosa, frequently of multiple occurrence. Histologically the lesion shows chronic superficial gastritis with intestinal metaplasia and occasional collections of foam cells within the lamina propria. Electron microscopically. the xanthoma, cells are composed of. lipid-laden histiocytes with. many autophagocytic Iysosomes surrounding the cytoplasmic lipid vacuoles. Many residual bodies are also noted. The pathogenesis of the gastric xanthoma is obscure, however it is thought that a previous focal lesion of the gastric mucosa may have been a factor. One case of gastric xanthoma is reported here and a brief review of literature is also made.

This paper explores the impact of gate shape changes on the size and density of foamed cells in microcellular foam injection molding. Five different gate shapes were examined while varying the amount of nitrogen gas(N2) injected for foaming. Analysis of the results showed that while average values did not change significantly, deviation values decreased by approximately 65% for cell size and 56% for density when 3.5wt% of nitrogen gas was injected in the film gate. Further analysis was conducted to verify this phenomenon, revealing that the contact area between the gate and product had the greatest impact. Our findings indicate that to ensure uniform generation of foamed cells in microcellular foaming product design, a gate with a wide contact area should be secured.

Several lines of evidence indicate that the oxidative modification of protein and the subsequent accumulation of the modified proteins have been found in cells during aging, oxidative stress, and in various pathological states including premature diseases, muscular dystrophy, rheumatoid arthritis, and atherosclerosis. The important agents that give rise to the modification of a protein may be represented by reactive aldehydic intermediates, such as ketoaldehydes, 2-alkenals and 4-hydroxy-2-alkenals. These reactive aldehydes are considered important mediators of cell damage due to their ability to covalently modify biomolecules, which can disrupt important cellular functions and can cause mutations. Furthermore, the adduction of aldehydes to apolipoprotein B in low-density lipoproteins (LDL) has been strongly implicated in the mechanism by which LDL is converted to an atherogenic form that is taken up by macrophages, leading to the formation of foam cells. During the search for an endogenous inducer of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), an inducible isoform responsible for high levels of prostaglandin production during inflammation and immune responses, 4-hydroxy-2-noennal (HNE), one of the most representative lipid peroxidation product, has been identified as the potential inducer of COX-2. In addition, the following study on the molecular mechanism of the COX-2 induction by HNE has unequivocally established that a serum component, which is eventually identified to be denatured LDL, is essential for COX-2 induction. Here I review current understanding of the mechanisms by which HNE in cooperation with the serum component activates gene expression of COX-2.

The formation of macrophage foam cells stimulated by oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) is deemed an important cause of atherosclerosis. Transcription factor Yin Yang 1 (YY1), which is a universally expressed multifunctional protein, is closely related to cell metabolism disorders such as lipid metabolism, sugar metabolism, and bile acid metabolism. However, whether YY1 is involved in macrophage inflammation and lipid accumulation still remains unknown. After mouse macrophage cell line RAW264.7 cells were induced by ox-LDL, YY1 and proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) expressions were found to be increased while low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) expression was lowly expressed. Subsequently, through reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), Western blot analysis, Oil Red O staining and cholesterol quantification, it turned out that silencing of YY1 attenuated the inflammatory response and lipid accumulation in RAW264.7 cells caused by ox-LDL. Moreover, results from the JASPAR database, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay, luciferase reporter assay and Western blot analysis suggested that YY1 activated PCSK9 by binding to PCSK9 promoter and modulated the expression of LDLR in the downstream of PCSK9. In addition, the results of functional experiments demonstrated that the inhibitory effects of YY1 interference on ox-LDL-mediated macrophage inflammation and lipid accumulation were reversed by PCSK9 overexpression. To sum up, YY1 depletion inhibited its activation of PCSK9, thereby reducing cellular inflammatory response, cholesterol homeostasis imbalance, and lipid accumulation caused by ox-LDL.
