Purpose: This study was to determine the possible effects of trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) through cell survival genes of the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway when applying an hydrophobically modified glycol chitosan (HGC)-based nanocontrolled release system to human gingival fibroblasts in oral soft tissue regeneration. Materials and Methods: An HGC-based nano-controlled release system was produced, followed by the loading of TCA and EGF. The group was divided into control (CON), TCA-loaded nano-controlled release system (EXP1), and the TCA- and EGF- individually loaded nano-controlled release system (EXP2). A total for 29 genes related to the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway were analyzed after 48h of culture in human gingival fibroblasts. Real-time PCR, 1- way ANOVA and multiple regression analysis were performed. Results: Cell survival genes were significantly upregulated in EXP1 and EXP2. From multiple regression analysis, ITGB1 was determined to be the most influential factor for AKT1 expression. Conclusion: The application of TCA and EGF through the HGC-based nano-controlled release system can up-regulate the cell survival pathway.

There are many pretreatment and detection methods for divalent cations in blood. But our purpose was to study the pretreatment of blood for the determination of cations by Ion Chromatography. We compared with recovery of Mg$^{++}$, and Ca$^{++}$ contained in plasma according to four pretreatment methods, that is, add of trichloroacetic acid and perchloric acid, dilution with distilled water and membrane filter method. As a result, add of trichloroacetic acid was found to be the most suitable method for good recovery of Mg$^{++}$ (98.0%) and Ca$^{++}$(96.0%) in plasma, and the Mg$^{++}$ and Ca$^{++}$ contents in plasma was 20 and 102 ($\mu$g/ml)

Syringoma is a benign eccrine sweat gland tumor that predominantly appears in females during puberty with multiple smooth papules measuring 1-2 mm in diameter. Common locations are on lower eyelids and cheeks. Vulvar syringoma is quite a rare, occurring condition with only a few cases reported. Here, we are reporting a case of 31-year-old female with vulvar syringoma associated with pruritus. The lesion was treated with carbon dioxide (CO2) laser ablation and 50% trichloroacetic acid (TCA) chemical peeling. Jaungo was used for wound care after laser abrasion. The combination treatment was effective for removing syringoma lesions. Post laser management with fusidic acid cream and jaungo cream was sufficient to prevent infection and promote wound healing.

This paper presents applicability of Fenton oxidation to perchloroethylene(PCE) contaminated soil. The initial concentration of PCE was 187mg/kg and Fenton oxidation conditions were 1.0M $H_2O_2$ and 0.5M $Fe^{2+}$. More than 97% of PCE decomposition and 98% of dechlorination were obtained within 5 hrs. It was found that the decomposition of PCE by Fenton oxidation was followed pseudo first order and its reaction coefficient was 0.78 $hr^{-1}$. GC-MS and GC-ECD analysis of reaction intermediates confirmed only the presence of trichloroacetic acid(i.e., 1.0% of initial PCE concentration). Under Fenton oxidation conditions, it was proposed that PCE was decomposed not simultaneously but one by one.

Biological exposure indices (BEI) of toluene, perchloroethylene (PCE) and methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) for Korean workers were studied respectively. Environmental exposures in workplace to organic solvent were measured by personal sampling. Blood toluene, blood perchloroethylene, urinary trichloroacetic acid and urinary MEK were determined by headspace gas chromatography. Urinary hippuric acid were determined by HPLC and corrected by creatinine. BEIs for Korean workers were calculated as the levels of determinants which are correspond to permissible exposure limits in Korea. Blood toluene level of 2.2mg/l and urinary hippuric acid level of 1.7g/g creatinine are correspond to an exposure of 100 ppm toluene. Blood PCE concentration of 1.6mg/l and urinary trichloroacetic acid concentration of 2.9mg/l are correspond to an exposure of 50ppm PCE. Urinary MEK concentration of 1.0mg/l is correspond to an exposure of 200ppm of MEK. BEIs for Korean workers determined in this study are very different to ACGIH's BEI as urinary determinants are much lower and blood determinants are much higher than ACGIH's BEI.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to report the effects of Mahaengeuigam-tang and Trichloroacetic acid(TCA) on hand warts. Exfoliation, such as TCA is a method developed from traditional medicine and used to treat hyperkeratosis skin in this patient. Methods : A patient with Verruca Vulgaris was treated with herbal medicine, including Mahaengeuigam-tang and application of TCA on wart lesions. Changes in lesions were evaluated by photographs. Results : After 3 months of treatment, The patient's lesions showed complete clearance. There are no adverse effects and no relapse of Verruca Vulgaris after 57 days of last treatment. Conclusions : According to the result, Mahaengeuigam-tang and External treatment such as TCA developed from traditional medicine can be effective for Verruca Vulgaris.

Background and Objectives : Fourth branchial cleft cyst is a rare congenital anomaly which cause a recurrent cervical abscess. Complete excision of fourth branchial cleft cyst is difficult because of a complicated fistula tract. In addition to attempting chemocauterization with trichloroacetic acid (TCA) to avoid surgical complications, authors performed an electrocauterization to close internal opening of pyriform sinus. Materials and Methods : We reviewed ten patients of fourth branchial cleft cyst underwent TCA chemocauterization and electrocauterization simultaneously. Clinical characteristics including patient informations, medical records, treatment results were analyzed retrospectively. Results : Interval time until diagnosed with fourth branchial cleft cyst was variable from several days to decades. Five patients had a history of incision and drainage. Mean follow up period was 36.1 months and all patients were treated with no recurrence. Conclusion : TCA chemocauterization with electrocauterization can be a effective choice to reduce recurrence rate and ensure safety of patients of fourth branchial cleft cyst.

Glycosaminoglycans(GAGs) from sea squirt, Styela clava was extracted with sodium phosphate at $105^{\circ}C$ for 2 hr and deprotein with trichloroacetic acid or hydrochloride. This GAGs was mainly constituted of galactose, glucosamine, glucose, mannose and galactosamine, and was phenylalanine, threonine, glutamic acid and aspartic acid. Mineral contents was mainly constituted 3.0mg% sodium, 1.6mg% potassium and 1.2mg% phosphorus and heavy metal was not detected. At pharmaceutical and cosmetic code of GAGs, protein and sulfate contents should included each range $14.0{\sim}22.0%$, $35.0 {\sim}45.0%$. After 5.0% trichloroacetic acid(w/v) and 10.0% HCl(v/v) treatment, protein and sulfate contents of GAGs was contained each 35.1%, 35.4% and each 22.0%, 18.5%.

Amino acid composition of Makjang was determined by combined usage of ion exchanged resin and paper chormatography in the following states. a. A fraction soluble in water b. Hydrolysate of the whole Makjang c. Same as a. (p.p.t. formed by tungstic acid or trichloroacetic acid being removed) d. Hydrolysate of c. (T and TCA) By comparing amino acid composition of Makjang with that of its raw material, we found that decomposition of essential amino acids during brewing is slight. From the amino acid composition of a,b,c,d, we discussed the ratio of amino acid liberation during brewing and assumed that Makjang contains peptide-like substances composing of glutamic acid and aspartic acid.
