Sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma(SNUC) is a distinct, relatively rare neoplasm arising in the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses composed of undifferentiated epithelial cells and clinically characterized by a fulminant course. We report a case of SNUC in a 56-year old man who have had bilateral neck masses since one month ago before coming to our hospital. The paranasal computed tomography showed soft mass density in the left maxillary sinus and the nasal cavity with bone destruction in the anterior medial and the inferior maxillary sinus wall. This mass was extruded into the left orbital wall. Biopsy of the nasal mass and fine needle aspiration(FNA) of the neck mass were done. FNA revealed medium-sized neoplastic cells forming clusters or individually dispersed. Nuclei were round to oval, slightly to moderately pleomorphic, and hyperchromatic. Chromatin was finely granular, but occasionally was coarsely granular. Nucleoli varied from large to inconspicuous and the cytoplasm was scanty.

Quantum chemical calculations were carried out to explain how the electronic states of some series compounds vary with metabolic activation. Compounds studied included aromatic amines and amides, polycyclic hydrocarbons, and a few alkylating agents that do not require metabolic activation. The 1, 2 and 4 positions forming the trans-butadiene frame of a molecule, henceforth referred to as "the trans 1, 2, 4 region", have seen to be important positions for the prediction of carcinogenic activity of these compounds. It is also evident that their electrophilic properties increase with metabolic activation. That is the sum of ${\pi}$-electron densities of the trans 1, 2, 4 region in the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) has been found to increase in the order of precarcinogens < proximate-ones < the carbocation ultimate-ones. This is consistent with the fact that chemical carcinogens become more strongly electrophilic with activating. This region not only provides a unified view of structurally diverse carcinogens, but also predicts uniformity in their reactive sites. Accordingly, we suggest that an understanding of the trans 1, 2, 4 region would be helpful in elucidating the mechanism of carcinogenesis.

A thermally irreversible photochromic system, 2,3-bis(2,4,5-trimethyl-3-thienyl)maleic anhydride (MTMA), has been studied by semi-empirical molecular orbital methods. There are one pair of stable conformations for the closed-ring form and three pairs for the open-ring form, each pair consisting of two mirror-image conformations. Interconversion between the parallel and anti-parallel conformations of the open-ring form is restricted due to high energy barriers. Only the anti-parallel conformation appears to be responsible for photochromic cyclization. Thermostability of the compound is attributed to an avoided crossing at high energy in the ground states of the isomers, whereas the photoreactivity can be explained by the mutually connected excited singlet (S1) states of the isomers, forming a double well potential with a low energy barrier. The large solvent effects can be partly explained with the low dipole moment of the anti-parallel conformation of MTMA in the S1 state. The large variation of quantum efficiency suggests that excess vibronic energy can be utilized to provide the activation energy for the photochromic reaction.

Purpose: Absorbable implants are frequently used to fix facial bone fractures, because they are radiolucent and compatible with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Despite their increasing usage, however, there have been few reports about their long-term side-effects. In this paper, a case in which absorbable implants led to a foreign body reaction 17 months after their insertion is presented. Methods: A previously healthy 19-year-old male fell from a flight of stairs and visited the authors' hospital with right periorbital pain. Zygomaticomaxillary fracture involving right orbital floor was detected via a facial bone computed tomography (CT). Internal fixation with absorbable implants was followed by open reduction. 17 months after the surgery, the patient complained of localized periorbital swelling. Removal of the granulomatous lesion including the absorbable implants along with their biopsy and culture was performed. Results: The granulomatous lesion around the implants was firm and extended into the maxillary sinus. The histologic finding showed a microabscess with a foreign body reaction. Methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus growth was confirmed in the culture. No definite abnormal symptoms ensued after the complete removal. Conclusion: A microabscess-forming granulomatous lesion around the absorbable implant can cause delayed symptomatic foreign body reaction despite its rare occurrence. Complete removal of the lesion including implants is expected to have a successful outcome if it is encountered.

Gas in disk galaxies interacts nonlinearly with a underlying stellar spiral potential to form galactic spiral shocks. Numerical simulations typically show that these shocks are unstable to the wiggle instability, forming non-axisymmetric structures with high vorticity. While previous studies suggested that the wiggle instability may arise from the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability or orbit crowding of gas elements near the shock, its physical nature remains uncertain. It was even argued that the wiggle instability is of numerical origin, caused by the inability of a numerical code to resolve a shock that is inclined to numerical grids. In this work, we perform a normal-mode linear stability analysis of galactic spiral shocks as a boundary-value problem. We find that the wiggle instability originates physically from the potential vorticity generation at a distorted shock front. As the gas follows galaxy rotation, it periodically passes through multiple shocks, successively increasing its potential vorticity. This sets up a normal-mode that grows exponentially, with a growth rate comparable to the orbital angular frequency. We show that the results of our linear stability analysis are in good agreement with the those of local hydrodynamic simulations of the wiggle instability.

Electron injection enhancement at OLED (organic light-emitting diodes) cathode side has mostly been achieved by insertion of a low work function layer between metal electrode and emissive layer. We investigated the interfacial chemical reactions and electronic structures of alkaline-earth metal (Ca, Ba)/Alq3 [tris(8-hydroxyquinolinato)aluminium] and Ca/BaF2/Alq3 using in-situ X-ray & ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy. The alkaline-earth metal deposited on Alq3 generates two energetically separated gap states in sequential manner. This phenomenon is explained by step-by-step charge transfer from alkali-earth metal to the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) states of Alq3, forming new occupied states below Fermi level. The BaF2 interlayer initially prevents from direct contact between Alq3 and reactive Ca metal, but it is dissociated into Ba and CaF2. However, as the Ca thickness increases, the Ca penetrates the interlayer to directly participate in the reaction with underlying Alq3. The influence of the multiple gap state formation by the interfacial chemical reaction on the OLED performance will be discussed.

Comparing the adsorption properties and dissociation on a Pt(111) iththat ona Fe(111) surface, we have con-sidered seven coordination modes of the adsorbed binding site: $di-${\sigma}$${\Delta}$\mu\pi/\mu$, 1-fbld,2-fold, and 3-fbld sites. On the Pt(111) surface, t he adsorbed binding site of carbon dioxide was strongestat the1-fold site and weakest at the $\pi/\mu-site.$ The adsorbed binding site on the Fe(111) surface was strongest at the di-бsite and weakest at the 3-fold site. We have found that the binding energy at each site that excepted 3-fold on the Fe(111) surface was stronger than the binding energy on the Pt(111) surface and that chemisorbed $CO_2bends$ because of metal mixing with $2\piu${\rightarrow}$6a_1CO_2orbital.$, The dissociation reaction occured in two steps, with an intermediate com-plex composed of atomic oxygen and ${\pi}bonding$ CO forming. The OCO angles of reaction intermediate com-plex structure for the dissociation reaction $were115^{\circ}Con$ the Pt(111), and $117^{\circ}C$ on the Fe(111) surface. We have found that the $CO_2dissociation$ rea11) surface proceeds easily,with an activationenergy about 0.2 eV lower than that on the Pt(111) surface.

본 연구에서는 파도에너지가 비교적 작은 폐쇄성수역의 사질 조간대를 대상으로 하여 입자상 물질의 토양 침투거동을 파악하고, 유출된 기름의 조간대 사면표착이 입자상 물질의 토양침투 차단 여부를 규명하는 것을 목적으로 하여 모의 조간대 실험장치를 이용하여 실험을 하였다. 폐쇄성 수역과 같은 파도에너지가 작은 조간대에서는 쇄파대에서 붕괴된 파도에 의해서 입자상물질이 orbital 운동을 하면서 반원형태의 침투거동 (semi-circular penetration behavior)을 보였다. 또한 사면의 구배와 쇄파파고의 증가에 따라서 입자상물질의 침투속도도 증가하였다. 조석에 의해서는 토양중 해수의 이동방향과 동일한 방향으로 $45^{\circ}$ 각도를 이루며 토양중으로 침투하였다. 유출된 기름이 토양사면에 표착됨으로 인해 형성된 점착성의 유막은 입자상 물질의 토양침투를 차단하였으며, 이로인해 해수중의 식물성 플랑크톤, 세균, 유기쇄설물과 같은 입자상물질의 침투를 방해하여 조간대에 서식하는 저서생물의 먹이 공급을 감소시켜 연안 생태계에 악영향을 미칠것으로 판단된다.

눈물샘은 주위환경으로부터 눈의 표면을 보호해주는 눈물막(tear film)을 구성하는 데 중요한 작용을 한다. 포유동물의 종에 따라 눈물샘의 구조와 구성요소는 차이가 있다. 포유류의 눈물샘에는 크게 두 가지 종류 즉, 위눈물샘 (superior lacrimal gland)과 아래눈물샘 (inferior lacrimal gland)으로 나눌 수 있다. 위눈물샘은 사람, 토끼, 개, 말, 낙타, 소등에 있는데, 안구의 위쪽에 위치하며, 아래눈물샘은 설치류, 토끼, 식충류 등에 존재하며, 안구의 아래쪽에 위치하고 있다. 토끼는 두 종류의 눈물샘 즉, 위눈물샘과 아래눈물샘을 모두 갖고 있는 데, 본 실험에서는 아래 눈물샘의 전자현미경적 구조를 관찰하였다. 토끼의 아래 눈물샘을 광학현미경으로 관찰한 일반구조는, 눈물샘은 전체적으로 피막에 싸여있었고, 샘실질은 결합조직에 의해 소엽으로 나뉘어지고, 소엽에는 분비부, 소엽속관 및 소엽사이관이 있다. 샘포세포는 아주 좁은 속공간을 가지고 있으며, 사이관(intercalated duct)은 샘포와 소엽속관을 연결한다. 소엽속관은 단층의 입방상피로 구성되어 있으며, 배출관인 소엽사이관이 결합조직 안에 잘 발달되어 있다. 눈물샘의 미세구조는 눈물샘 샘포세포는 피라밋형으로, 세포사이는 잘 발달된 연접복합체로 연접하였으며, 좁은 꼭대기 부분은 약간의 미세융모들이 샘의 내강쪽으로 향해 있다. 세포들의 가쪽면 사이에는 세포사이세관이 형성되었고, 그 속에도 상당수의 미세융모들이 관찰된다. 눈물샘분비세포는 세 종류로서 장액세포(serous cell), 장점액세포(seromucous cell)와 점액세포(mucous cell)로 이루어졌다. 장액세포는 샘포의 바닥 쪽에 많고, 세포질에는 전형적인 골지복합체와 전자밀도가 높은 분비과립이 있으며, 둥글둥글한 소포상의 과립형질내세망이 특징적인 구조이다. 한편 장점액세포는 전형적인 납작한 과립형질내세망이 조밀하고, 리보소체도 많아서 매우 어둡게 보이며, 분비과립에는 전자밀도가 높은 장액분비과립, 미세먼지같은 중등도의 전자밀도를 지닌 과립, 전자밀도가 낮으며 가끔은 융합되는 점액 분비과립을 갖고 있다. 점액세포의 과립세포질세망은 세포질전체에 퍼져 있으며, 관모양의 사립체들이 드물게 관찰된다. 점액세포에서는 세 가지 종류의 분비과립 즉, 전자밀도가 낮은 분비과립, 전자밀도가 비교적 높으며 빈도가 낮은 과립과 중간정도의 전자밀도를 가진 과립이 있으며, 전자밀도가 낮은 과립은 서로 융합된 모습을 보이기도 한다. 과립세포질세망은 주로 세포의 바닥부분에 위치하며, 골지복합체는 세포의 중간부분인 핵상부에 주로 위치한다. 점액세포의 가쪽벽에는 세포사이공간이 있어 가쪽주름(lateral fold)과 내강에 미세융모를 지닌 세포사이세관(intercellular canaliculi)이 관찰된다. 분비관을 구성하고 있는 세포들에는 세포질이 어두운 세포와 밝은 세포가 있었으며, 세포질내에는 전자밀도가 높은 분비과립이 관찰되었다. 전체적인 특징은 눈물샘분비세포 중 장액세포의 것과 비슷하였으나, 과립의 크기는 작았다. 분비관을 구성하는 세포들 사이에도 연접복합체가 매우 잘 발달되어 있었다. 샘포에서 사이관으로 이행되는 곳에서도 샘포세포와 사이관세포 사이에서도 연접복합체가 관찰되었다. 분비관세포의 분비과립 가운데는 중심부분에 전자밀도가 더 높은 중심을 가진 다른 모양의 과립이 관찰되기도 하였다.
