The neuorogenic tumor is known to be originated from neural crest, and the involved cells are Schwann cell, ganglion cell, and paraganglion cell. The Schwannoma, neurofibroma, and malignant schwannoma arise from the schwann cell, ganglioneuroma is from ganglion cell, and carotid body tumor and glomus tumor are originated from paraganglion cell. Authors reviewed thirty-eight patients of the neurogenic tumors in the head and neck, excluding intracranial tumor and Von-Recklinghausen disease, surgically treated at the Department of Surgery, Pusan Paik Hospital from January 1981 to May 1996. Of the 38 cases, 28 cases were schwannoma, 6 cases neurofibroma, 2 cases malignant schwannoma, and 2 cases paraganglioma. These tumors occurred at any age, but the majority of patients occurred in the fourth decade of life. There was female preponderance (M : F=1 : 1. 53) in sex ratio. The lateral cervical region was the most common distribution. 12 cases arose from the anterior triangle of neck, and 12 cases from the posterior triangle of neck. The major nerve origin of tumor could be identified in 30 cases (80%). 11 cases were treated by simple excision, and partial excision was 3 cases. Excision with parotidectomy 1 case, enucleation 11 cases, enucleation with parotidectomy 7 cases, radical neck dissection 1 cases, upper neck dissection 2 cases, suprahyoid dissection 1 case, Caldwell­Luc operation 1 case. The postoperative complications were hoarseness (2 cases), facial palsy (1 case), Homer syndrome (1 case), and hypoesthesia of tongue (1 case).

Background: The aim was to see compliance to minimum data set information in carcinoma cervix histopathology reports from a team of 13 pathologists; and also to analyse the distribution of parameters like tumor size, grade, depth of cervical stromal invasion, lymph node yield and pTNM stage. Materials and Methods: All pathology reports of radical hysterectomy for carcinoma cervix operated in house within a three year duration (2010-2012), (n=204) were retrieved from medical records and analyzed for the above parameters. Results: In 2010- 59 cases, in 2011- 67 cases and in 2012- 78 cases of carcinoma cervix underwent operations in our hospital. The median age was 50.5 years and the maximum T diameter was 2.8 cms in the reports of three years. Squamous carcinoma was the commonest subtype amongst all the tumors. It was noted that 60.8% of cases had cervical stromal involvement more than half the thickness of the cervical stroma. Parametrial involvement was seen in 4.82% of cases. pTNM Staging was not mentioned in 65.06% of the cases. The mean bilateral pelvic lymph node yield count in our study was 16.6 inclusive of all the three years. Conclusions: Compliance with provision of a minimum dataset in our team of 13 pathologists was generally good. Lymph node yield in our hands is reasonable, but constant striving for greater numbers should be made. pTNM staging should be more meticulously documented. Use of proformas /checklists is recommended.

Paclitaxel is hydrophobic in nature and is recognized as a highly toxic anticancer drug, showing adverse effects in normal body sites. In this study, we developed a polymeric nano drug carrier for safe delivery of the paclitaxel to the cancer that releases the drug in a sustained manner and reduces side effects. N-isopropylacrylamide/vinyl pyrrolidone (NIPAAm/VP) nanoparticles were synthesized by radical polymerization. Physicochemical characterization of the polymeric nanoparticles was conducted using dynamic light scattering, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance, which confirmedpolymerization of formulated nanoparticles. Drug release was assessed using a spectrophotometer and cell viability assays were carried out on the MCF-7 breast cancer and B16F0 skin cancer cell lines. NIPAAm/VP nanoparticles demonstrated a size distribution in the 65-108 nm range and surface charge measured -15.4 mV. SEM showed the nanoparticles to be spherical in shape with a slow drug release of ~70% in PBS at $38^{\circ}C$ over 96 h. Drug loaded nanoparticles were associated with increased viability of MCF-7 and B16F0 cells in comparison to free paclitaxel. Nano loaded paclitaxel shows high therapeutic efficiency by sustained release action for the longer period of time, i increasing its efficacy and biocompatibility for human cancer therapy. Therefore, paclitaxel loaded (NIPAAm/VP) nanoparticles may provide opportunities to expand delivery of the drug for clinical selection.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), such as benzo(a)pyrene (B(a)P), are toxic environmental contaminants known to enhance oxidative stress, production of pro-inflammatory and inflammatory cytokines. The present study was designed in order to determine whether wild ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer) protect PAH-induced oxidative stress and inflammation. B(a)P (0.5 mg/kg, i.p.) treatment increased the distribution of immunoreactive cells for tumor necrosis factor $(TNF)-\alpha$ and cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 in peri-portal triad region and immunoreaction was shown in the cytoplasm of macrophage. Pre-treatment with wild ginseng significantly decreased immune responses in the rats treated with B(a)p. The rats given 50 mg/kg/day for 4 weeks before B(a)P treatment had 1.39-fold and 1.5-fold inhibition of $TNF-\alpha$ and COX-2 positive reaction, respectively. Wild ginseng extract alone had no effect on the distributional changes. The SOD activity as scavenger enzymes after wild ginseng administration dose-dependantly increased compared with butylated hydroxytoluene, a general radical scavenger. These data likely indicate that wild ginseng extract may act as inflammatory regulator in conjunction with inhibition of oxidant dependent metabolic activation in environmental contaminants-induced hepatic inflammation.

Polystyrene latex를 제조하는 여러방법중에서 상업적으로는 유화중합기술이 가장 많이 사용되고 있다. 유화중합에서 사용되는 화학개시제가 환경오염 유발의 원인이 될 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 고분자 중합 방법도 전통적 기술을 벗어나는 다양한 공정의 개발이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 화학 개시제를 초음파 에너지 효과로 대체하여 초음파 조사시에 나타나는 공동현상에 의한 자유 라디칼(free radical)을 생성시켜 polystyrene latex를 제조하였다. 제조된 polystyrene latex를 GPC로 분석한 결과 초음파 조사시간이 증가할수록 평균분자량은 증가하였으며 분산도는 감소하였다. 또한 계면활성제로 사용된 sodium dodecyl sulfate(SDS)의 농도가 증가할수록 중합도는 증가하였으며, SDS의 농도가 전체의 2wt.%이고 반응온도가 $40^{\circ}C$일 때 중합도는 $2.43{\times}10^4$으로 최대값을 나타내었다. 중합이 진행되는 동안 해중합이 동시에 발생하므로 평균분자량은 증가와 감소를 반복하는 경향을 나타내었으며, 초음파 조사시간과 계면활성제의 농도를 조절하므로써 분자량이 조절된 좁은 분자량 분포의 polystyrene latex를 제조할 수 있었다.

Purpose : To assess the effectiveness and problems of the primary radiation therapy and salvage surgery in a series of patients affected by T1-T2NO glottic cancers treated from 1985 to 1991 at the Pusan National University Hospital. Materials and Methods : From 8/85 to 12/91,34 patients affected by early glottic carcinoma histologically proven were treated with curative radiation therapy, Distribution of patients according to T stage was 30 for T1 and 4 for T2. Male to female ratio was 33:1. Age of patients ranged from 31 to 73 with mean age of 58 years. All of the patients were treated with radical radiation with total tumor dose of 63-75. 3Gy(median 68.2Gy), of 5 weekly fractions of 1.8-2Gy and with 6MV photon beams through two laterally opposed fields. Results : The overall 5-year local control rates were $74\%$(8/30) for Tl, and $25\%$(3/4) for T2. The main cause of failure was progression or recurrence in T(10/11). One failures were observed in T and N at the same time. Of these 11 patients, 9($81\%$) were salvaged with surgery, After surgical salvage of radiation failures, the 5-year survival rates were $96\%$ for T1 and $75\%$ for T2. Among the survivors, $73\%$ of T1 and $33\%$ of T2 were able to preserve the larynx. Conclusion : It can be concluded that radiotherapy is the first choice in the treatment of glottic T1 carcinoma.

To prepare weather-resistant silicone/acrylic resin coatings for an architectural purpose, tetrapolymers were synthesized by a radical polymerization. 3-Methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTS) as a silicone monomer and n-butyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, and n-butyl methacrylate as acrylic monomers were used. The compositions of monomers were adjusted to fix the glass transition temperature of acrylic polymer for $20^{\circ}C$. The composition of MPTS in the synthesized polymer were varied from 10 wt% to 30 wt%. On the basis of synthesized resin amber paints were prepared and their physical properties and effects for weatherability were examined. The presence of MPTS in silicone/acrylic resins generally resulted in low molecular weight and broad molecular weight distribution, and also lowered the viscosity of the copolymers. The coated films prepared from these resins showed good and balanced properties in general. Adhesion to the substrate was outstanding in particular. Weatherability tests were carried out in three different types such as outdoor exposure, QUV, and SWO. The test results showed that the silicone/acrylic resins containing 30 wt% of MPTS had weather-resistant properties.

물분자와 전리방사선과의 상호작용에 의하여 생성된 방사능극소입자에 관한 많은 연구결과가 보고되어 왔으며, 특히 이전 연구에서는 물분자의 방사성분해에 의해 발생한 수산화라디칼의 높은 농도는, 유기물기체와 같은 실내기체와 반응즉시 낮은 증기압의 화학물로 변하여 극소입자가 된다고 알려져 왔다. 본 연구에서는, 라돈의 첫째딸핵종인 Po-218에 대한 물분자와의 의존성을 조사할 목적으로, 실내기체의 최적제어가 가능한 라돈챔버를 사용하여 일련의 실험들을 수행하였다. 특별히 설계 제작된 평행등급 금속망필터시스템을 사용하여, 서로 다른 습도조건하에서 0.5-100nm 크기의 라돈딸핵종에 대한 방사능크기분포도가 얻어졌으며, 그 결과가 분석되었다. 라든가스챔버내에 수증기분자의 첨가와 동 수증기분자의 방사성분해에 의하여 생성된 수산화라디칼에 의한 극소입자들의 형성을 확인하였는데 이는 수증기의 방사성분해과정에서 Po-218이온과 수증기분자 사이에 중화과정 때문인 것으로 밝혀졌다.

비닐포스폰산 비스-${\beta}$-클로로에틸(BCVP)과 초산비닐(VAc)의 혼성중합을 $50^{\circ{C$에서 행하여 단위체 반응성비를 구하였다. 이때 과산화벤조일을 개시제로 사용하였으며, 얻은 반응성비는 아래와 같다. $r_1 (VAc) = 0.33,\;r_2 (BCVP) = 0.47$ 이 값과 Alfrey-Price식을 이용하여 비닐포스폰산 비스-${\beta}$-클로로에틸의 Q와 e값을 계산하니 Q = 0.06 및 e = 1.1을 얻었다. 이 두 단위체로부터 얻어지는 혼성중합체중의 단위체 서열분포와 평균서열 길이를 통계적으로 분석한 결과 혼성중합체가 비교적 높은 교대경향을 갖고 있음을 알았다. 또한 혼성중합체중에 비닐포스폰산 비스-${\beta}$-클로로에틸의 함량이 많을 수록 열안정성이 나뻐짐을 열시차분석에서 관찰하였다.
