The TEMPO-mediated living free-radical bulk and dispersion polymerization of styrene in the presence of camphorsulfonic acid (CSA) are investigated. In the absence of TEMPO and CSA in the bulk polymerization, a conversion of $93\%$ is achieved within 6 hr of polymerization. When only TEMPO is involved in this polymerization, the pseudo-living free-radical polymerization is well achieved, however, the polymerization rate becomes quite slow. This retardation of the polymerization rate is solved by the addition of a low concentration of CSA. In the TEMPO-mediated dispersion polymerization in the presence of CSA, similar trends in the conversion, kinetics, and PDI are observed as those observed in the case of bulk polymerization. When only TEMPO is used in the dispersion polymerization, the resulting particle size becomes quite broad, due to the prolonged polymerization time. However, when a 1.0 molar ratio of CSA to TEMPO is added to the TEMPO-mediated dispersion polymerization, fairly mono-disperse PS microspheres having an average size of 5.83 $\mu$m and a CV of 3.4$\%$ are successfully obtained, due to the narrow molecular weight distribution of the intermediate oligomers and shortening of the polymerization time. This result indicates that the addition of CSA to the TEMPO-mediated bulk and the use of dispersion polymerization not only shortens the polymerization time, but also greatly improves the uniformity of the microspheres.

We have experienced 50 cases of mediastinal tumors and cysts from March, 1979 to August, 1985 at Kyung Hee University Hospital. The results of this cases analysis were as followings; 1. Of all 50 mediastinal tumors and cysts, 26 patients were male and 24 patients were female. There was no sex preference. The age distribution was from 27 months to 64 years, and mean age was 33.5 years old, and also no age preference. 2. The most common mediastinal tumor was benign cysts [12 cases], which comprise 24% of all mediastinal tumors and cysts. The second common mediastinal tumor was teratoma [9 cases-18%], and followed by thymic tumors and tuberculous granuloma [7 cases-14% each], neurogenic tumors [5 cases-10%], and other tumors [10 cases-20%]. 3. The anterior mediastinum was most common tumor location, and followed by middle, superior, and posterior. 4. All 9 teratomas were developed at anterior mediastinum, and 4 of 5 neurogenic tumors were developed at posterior mediastinum. Thymomas were developed at anterior and superior mediastinum. The bronchogenic cysts had no predilection of location. 5. The most common chief complaint at admission was chest pain or discomfort [23 cases-46%], and followed by cough with or without sputum, and exertional dyspnea. Asymptomatic patients were only 7 patients [24%]. 6. Of all 50 cases, 38 cases [76%] received radical tumor resection, 7 mediastinoscopic biopsy, 3 explo thoracotomy and biopsy, and 1 neck mass biopsy. 7. There were 2 hospital deaths, one of which was a patient who suffered malignant thymoma and Myasthenia Gravis. The patient received radical tumor excision, but died at 7th POD. The other patient was a patient with malignant transformation of the benign cystic teratoma. The operative mortality was 4%.

In order to realize a stably propagating flame in a narrow channel, flame instabilities resulting from flame-wall interaction should be avoided. In particular flame quenching is a significant issue in micro combustion devices; quenching is caused either by excessive heat loss or by active radical adsorptions at the wall. In this paper, the relative significance of thermal and chemical effects on flame quenching is examined by means of quenching distance measurement. Emphasis is placed on the effects of surface defect density on flame quenching. To investigate chemical quenching phenomenon, thermally grown silicon oxide plates with well-defined defect distribution were prepared. ion implantation technique was used to control defect density, i.e. the number of oxygen vacancies. It has been found that when the surface temperature is under $300^{\circ}C$, the quenching distance is decreased on account of reduced heat loss; as the surface temperature is increased over $300^{\circ}C$, however, quenching distance is increased despite reduced heat loss effect. Such abberant behavior is caused by heterogeneous surface reactions between active radicals and surface defects. The higher defect density, the larger quenching distance. This result means that chemical quenching is governed by radical adsorption that can be parameterized by oxygen vacancy density on the surface.

We examined the changes in the physicochemical quality characteristics and antioxidant activity of fresh-cut Fuji apples (Malus pumila) during processing and storage after treatment with browning inhibitors. The primary aim was to elucidate processing suitability and storability. We observed that in the processing stage of slicing fresh Fuji apples, there were no significant differences in 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) radical scavenging ability and ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP). However, after NaClO treatment, total flavonoid and total polyphenol contents decreased. When freshcut Fuji apples were treated with browning inhibitors and stored at 4℃, the L value and hardness decreased; however, the weight loss rate increased based on the storage period of all fruit groups treated with Citrus unshiu Markovich (CuM), calcium ascorbate (CA), and ascorbic acid (AA). The pH increased after 2 days of storage in 1% CuM and after 6 days of storage in 1% CA; however, no changes in pH were observed during the storage period in 1% AA. The DPPH radical scavenging activity was generally good under storage conditions of 1% AA at 4℃ and 1% CA at 20℃. Furthermore, FRAP remained relatively constant under storage conditions of 1% CA. The quality characteristics and antioxidant activity of fresh-cut fruits during processing and storage can be used as basic data for industries. Furthermore, we can gain confidence in quality improvements by improving the production and distribution environment of fresh-cut agricultural products.

본 연구에서는 에폭시 수지를 시료로 선정, 5 종의 배합비로 제작한 시편에 대해 절연 파괴 실험을 하여 얻어진 데이터를 수명 평가나 파괴 통계에서 주로 활용하는 와이블 분포식을 이용, 임의의 허용 파괴 확률에서의 허용인가 전계값을 추정, 안전성을 판단하기 위해 경년 열화데이터의 통계 처리 방법을 제안하였다. 그 결과, 경화제 비율이 증가하면 에폭시 경화물의 에스터화로 인해 가교 밀도가 증가함으로써 저온에서의 파괴 강도가 높아졌으며, 유리 전이 온도(Tg) 영역인 11$0^{\circ}C$ 부근에서는 분자 운동이 활발해짐으로써 급격히 파괴 강도가 저하하였다. 또한, 충진제를 첨가한 경우 접합 계면에 전자가 가속되어 전반적인 파괴 강도는 무충진에 비해 낮게 나타났으며, 실란 처리를 한 경우에는 계면 접합 상태가 개선되어 충진제만을 첨가한 시료보다 좋은 절연성을 나타냈다. 와이블 분포의 분석으로 부터 기기 절연의 허용 파괴 확률을 0.1 % 이하로 낮추기 위해서는 허용인가 전계값이 21.5 ㎹/cm 이하가 되어야함을 알 수 있었다.

Objective: Rebamipide is a propionic acid derivative that has an action of the inhibition of superoxide production and removal of hydroxyl radical with the sperm incubation and cryopreservation. In the present study, to investigate whether rebamipide is useful to treat male infertility and sterility, the author observed the antioxidative effects in patient with male infertility and also examined its absorption and distribution in rat genital organ. Methods: To measure the distribution of rebamipide in reproductive organ in the rat, carbon indicated rebamipide, $^{14}C-OPC-12759$, was orally administered to 10 Spraque-Dawley rats and its organ concentration in serum, liver, kidney, stomach, duodenum, colon, urinary bladder, seminal vesicle, epididymis and testicle were measured each time after 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8 and 24 hours by using HPLC fluorescent method. The concentrations in semen were measured by HPLC fluorescent method in a sample of 50 infertile males who took 900 mg of rebamipide daily for 3 months. To measure the antioxidative effect and fertility rate for 3 months, each month before and after the treatment, sperm motility, vitality, the oxygen free radical formation, level of peroxidation, fetilizing capacity of semen sample which were obtained from infertile male patients by masturbation after at least 48 hours abstinence were analyzed by computer assisted semen analyzer, eosin-nigrosin stain, chemiluminescence, thiobarbituric acid method and hypo-osmotic swelling test. Simultaneously in a sample that wanted baby, both pregnancy and delivery were researched. Results: The $^{14}C-OPC-12759$ concentration in the body of white rats was highest in gastrointestinal organ like stomach, smal intestine and duodenum and followed by genital organ like seminal vesicle, testis and epididymis. The rebamipide concentration in semen of infertile males was $220.77{\pm}327.84ng/mL$ (SD) which showed a large deviation but it was higher than serum which was $126{\pm}76ng/mL$ (SD). In the infertile males, after the treatment with rebamipide, the level of seminal reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation have significantly decreased in duration of the treatment (p<0.05) and sperm vitality and fertilizing capacity except sperm motility significantly improved on post treatment of 2~3 months (p<0.05). Out of the 41 cases who hoped for pregnancy, 15 cases (36.6%) became pregnant and 12 cases had childbrith, 2 cases had miscarriage and one case is ongoing. The side effect was observed in 1 case (2%) which experienced diarrhea but it was lost spontaneously. Conclusions: We conclude from this study that rebamipide showed relatively high tendancy of absorption and excretion in the genital organ. In infertile males who had elevated ROS in semen, by specifically inhibiting the cell damage from the antioxidation, a way to preserve sperm motility, vitality and fertilizing capacity was confirmed.
