Nonclassical pathway of crystallization has been utilized to modify the properties and morphologies of inorganic and organic/inorganic materials. In here, the polymer-directed crystallization method has been applied to the pharmaceutical active ingredient to assess the applicability for as a particle engineering tool. The polymer-directed crystallization was successful to modifying the crystal size, habit and morphology, but it was not effective to discover the novel polymorphs of Sibutramine (SB). SB was selected as a model drug and polyacrylic acid (PAA), polyethylene imine (PEI) and chitosan (CHI) were added as a crystallization pathway modifier. SB was crystallized via drowning crystallization using methanol or ethanol as a solvent and water as a non-solvent. The significant interactions between polymer and the drug were confirmed by measuring the solubility of the drug in presence of polymer during the crystallization. The crystal forms of SB are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and optical microscope (OM). The polymer-directed crystallization seems to be able to modify the crystal properties of pharmaceutical active ingredient, which is critical in determining the bioavailability, processability, and stability.

A sixty-three year old woman presented with sudden onset of dystonic twitching of the extremities and repeatedly downgrading of consciousness in the midnight. She had no history of medical illness in the past but had been suffered from fatigue recently before the onset of the attack. At admission she was neurologically free including neuro-ophthalmologic examination. MRI showed a high signal T1WI mass in the sella protruding into the suprasellar cistern. Hormonal study revealed low value of T3, T4, LH and FSH. Under the impression of pituitary apoplexy she underwent operation via transcranial route. When the protruding diaphragma sellae was opened, milkish pus spilled out. The thick capsule was biopsied and pus was sent for the study. The results of Gram staining and culture were both negative but pathologic report of the specimen was high infiltration of lymphocytes with few polymorphs.

1-D nanostructured materials have much more attention because of their outstanding properties and wide applicability in device fabrication. Bismuth oxide($Bi_2O_3$) is an important p-type semiconductor with main crystallographic polymorphs denoted by $\alpha-$, $\beta-$, $\gamma-$, and $\delta-Bi_2O_3$[1]. Due to its unique optical and electrical properties, $Bi_2O_3$ has been extensively investigated for various applications in gas sensors, photovoltaic cells, fuel cells, supercapacitors[2-4]. In this study, $Bi_2O_3$ NWs were grown by two step annealing process: in the first step, after annealing at $270^{\circ}C$ for 10h in a vaccum($3{\times}10^{-6}$ torr), we can obtain the bismuth nanowires. In the second step, after annealing at $300^{\circ}C$ for 2h in $O_2$ ambient, we successfully fabicated $Bi_2O_3$nanowires.

Aragonite is one of polymorphs of calcium carbonate of which main form is calcite. We found that white precipitate is formed in much amount by boiling underwater of Inchon, Korea and confirmed that it is aragonite. This study is to evaluate the dimensional characteristics, solubility, acid resistance of aragonite and the cytotoxicity, cell division disturbance and cell transforming ability of it on BALB/3T3 cells. The results are as follows: Lengths of the aragonite were reduced to the 72.7% and 22.7% respectively after 5 months and 7 months of intrapleurai injection to the Sprague-Dawley rat. Strong acid such as 1M HCl dissolved the aragonite instantly but weaker acid pH 2.0 or more could not dissolved aragonite easily. The result of cell growth inhibition showed that cell numbers were decreased as log-doses of treatment of the aragonite were increased 24 hours, 48 hours, and 72 hours later. Cell plating efficiency after the aragonite treatment also showed dose-dependent decrease. Multinuclear giant cell formation was increased in the aragonite treated cells until ID$_{50}$ and after the dose the multinucleate cells were decreased, but remained much higher than negative control cells. Morphological transformation assay showed that the aragonite did not induce transformation in all treated doses.

Subacute necrotizing lymphadenitis is characterized by cervical lymphadenpathy in young patients and mistaken for malignant disease both clinically and histologically. Microscopically, there is a varying degree of effacement of the lymph node architecture and necrosis with an infiltrate of histiocytic cells and absence of polymorphs. We have experienced 4 cases of cervical lymphadenopathy accompanied by fever. All cases had complete recovery to conservative treatment only. The excised lymph nodes were moderately enlarged and typically showed varying degree of necrotizing lesions, and abundant karyorrhectic debris, scattered fibrin deposits, aggregates of large mononuclear cells, and a paucity of plasma cell and neutrophils. For investigating the etiology and pathogenesis of this lesion, further clinical study and stepwise pathologic and immunologic planning would be valuable.

$TiO_2$는 저렴한 가격, 적절한 bandgap, 열적, 화학적, 생물학적 안정성 등으로 촉망받는 광촉매 물질이다. $TiO_2$는 rutile (tetragonal, space group: P42/mnm), anatse (tetragonal, space group: I41/amd), and brookite (orthorhombic, space group: Pbca )의 3가지 대표적인 결정구조를 가지고 있다. Rutile과 anatase는 1972년 Fujishima와 Honda가 $TiO_2$의 광촉매 특성을 발견 한 후로 아주 많은 연구가 되어왔다. 반면 brookite의 경우는 자연에 거의 존재하지 않으며, 합성방법도 어려워서 rutile과 anatase에 비해 많은 연구가 되지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 brookite를 포함한 다양한 $TiO_2$ 나노구조를 간단한 수열합성법으로 티타늄 호일 위에 합성하였다. 합성된 $TiO_2$는 반응 온도와 시간, additive의 농도에 따라서 sheet, tube, wire, pyramidal 의 4가지 morphologies를 가졌다. 이 다양한 morphologies은 SEM과 TEM으로 분석되었으며, 각 물질의 결정 구조는 XRD분석과 TEM의 SAED pattern 분석으로 sheet, tube, wire은 anatase, pyramidal 구조는 brookite라는 것이 확인 되었다. 위의 방법으로 합성된 각각의 $TiO_2$ 물질들을 working 전극으로, Pt와 Ag/AgCl을 reference와 counter 전극으로 만들어서 photoelectrochemical 특성을 측정해서 비교를 해보았을 때, brookite 물질이 anatase보다 더 좋은 photoelectrochemical 특성을 나타내는 것을 확인하였다.

TiO2 thin films were prepared by reactive magnetron sputtering on glass substrate and subjected into investigation about their hydrophilic properties. Varing Ar/O2 ration and post annealing at 50$0^{\circ}C$ for 12h anatase and rutile phases of TiO2 films were obtained. Hydrophilic properties were evaluated by determination of contact angle of water droplet on TiO2 surface. On as-annealed TiO2 films water droplet spreaded widely with ~0$^{\circ}$contact angle. Sonication(60 Hz, 28kHz 40kHz) and following dark room treatments turned these hydrophilic TiO2 films into hydrophobic state. All of hydrophobic films were converted recersibly into their original state after UV illumination. Hydrophobic states of anatase films were saturated after sonication and remain same during dark room treatment. But it was found that the conversion into hydrophobic state of rutile films progressed. further after sonication. Therefore it was concluded that Ti3+/Ti+4 ratio is the key to determine hydrophilicity of TiO2 surface so that different surface structure of polymorphs could lead to unique characteristics.

Celecoxib (4-[5-(4-methylphenyl)-3-(trifluoromethyl)-1H-pyrazol-1-yl]benzenesulfonamide) is a cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor used in the treatment of arthritis, acute pain, and dysmenorrhoea. Celecoxib is a Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS) class II compound whose oral bioavailability is highly limited owing to its poor aqueous solubility. Several polymorphs of celecoxib have been identified as Form I, Form II, and Form III with melting points of about $162.8^{\circ}C$, $161.5^{\circ}C$, and $160.8^{\circ}C$, respectively. Form IV was generated from the precipitated suspension in the presence of HPMC (Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose) and Polysorbate 80. A rapid rate of dissolution is useful because the rate of dissolution of a drug typically increases its bioavailability. The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of production of new crystal form of celecoxib that has higher solubility than Form III. New crystal form of celecoxib (Form A) has been isolated by recrystallization and characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric (TG) analysis and powder X-ray diffractometry (PXRD). Form A was dissolved faster than Form III. At 30 minutes, the dissolution of Form A was 97.3%, whereas the dissolution of Form III was 82.2% (p < 0.1). After storage of three months at $20^{\circ}C$, in 24% RH (Relative Humidity), the crystal form was not transformed.
