Iodinated contrast media (CM) can cause immediate and late reactions. We treated a patient with a recurrent generalized maculopapular rash and a fever that occurred within two days of exposure to iodinated CM, iopromide ($Ultravist^{(R)}$), for chest computed tomography. We performed skin testing including prick tests, intradermal tests, and patch tests. Our findings indicated a late skin reaction to $Ultravist^{(R)}$in addition to cross-reactions to other iodinated CM such as ioversol ($Optiray^{(R)}$), iohexol ($Iobrix^{(R)}$), and iobitridol ($Xenetix^{(R)}$). In this study, we report the case of a patient diagnosed with a late adverse reaction to $Ultravist^{(R)}$in addition to cross-reactions to other iodinated CM.

We used dipodal type bis[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]amine (BTMA) silane coupling agent to modify silica nanoparticles to introduce secondary amino groups on the silica surface. These grafted N-H groups were reacted with glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) to introduce polymerizable methacrylate groups on the silica surface. After modification reaction, we used several analytical techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), elemental analysis (EA) and solid state $^{13}C$ cross-polarization magic angle spinning (CP/MAS) nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) to analyze the effects of reaction time, reaction temperature and used GMA concentration on the modification degree between N-H groups on the silica surface and epoxide groups of GMA. We found increased introduction of methacrylate groups on the silica surface by ring opening reaction of epoxide groups of GMA with N-H groups on BTMA treated silica with increased reaction time, reaction temperature and used GMA concentration within our experimental conditions.

Neutron cross section data on Dy-160, Dy-161, Dy-162, Dy-163 and Dy-164 were calculated and evaluated in the energy range of 1 keV to 20 MeV using a spherical optical model, statistical model and pre-equilibrium model. The energy dependent optical model potential parameters were obtained based on the recent experimental data. The width fluctuation correction in Hauser-Feshbach particle decay and the quantum mechanical approach in pre-equilibrium analysis were introduced and gave a better cross section calculation in EMPIRE-II. The total, elastic scattering and threshold reaction cross sections were evaluated and compared with the evaluated files. The model calculated (n, tot), (n, ${\gamma}$) and (n, p) cross sections were in good agreement with the experimental data in the measured energy range. The results will be applied to ENDF/B-VI for data improvement.

The reaction of gas-phase atomic bromine with highly covered chemisorbed hydrogen atoms on a silicon surface is studied by use of the classical trajectory approach. It is found that the major reaction is the formation of HBr(g), and it proceeds th rough two modes, that is, direct Eley-Rideal and hot-atom mechanism. The HBr formation reaction takes place on a picosecond time scale with most of the reaction exothermicity depositing in the product vibration and translation. The adsorption of Br(g) on the surface is the second most efficient reaction pathway. The total reaction cross sections are $2.53{\AA}2$ for the HBr formation and $2.32{\AA}2$ for the adsorption of Br(g) at gas temperature 1500 K and surface temperature 300 K.

Solid phase enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed to detect the whole cells of Edwardsiella tarda from infected tissues of flounder. Cross-reaction test was performed by ELISA against fish pathogens such as A. hydrophila ATCC7966. V. anguillarum HYUFP5001, Y, ruckeri 11-4, E. ictaluri and Streptococcus sp. NG8206. Rabbit anti-E, tarda Edk-2 sera highly cross-reacted with A. hydrophila ATCC7966 and V. anguillarum HUFP5001. However, the cross-reaction was removed by using the anti-serum pre-adsorbed with A, hydrophila ATCC7966 FKC. The intra-species cross-reaction among E. tarda isolates was very high. ELISA with the whole cell antigens present in tissue homogenate appeared with highly decreased sensitivity, presumably by the co-coating of lipid or proteins in tissues. Thus, it would be necessary to use the infected tissue homogenates diluted more than 100 times with PBS for diagnosis. Interestingly, compared with the using of FKC antigen, the direct detection of viable cells in tissue homogenate showed more sensitive results with detection limit of $1{\times}10^3$ cells/ml in buffer or diluted tissue homogenate. Consequently, the ELISA method developed in this study was specific, rapid and sensitive for diagnosing edwardsiellosis.

The pairwise energy model (PEM) assumes that the cross section for the reaction cross section for the reaction A+BC$\{leftrightarrow}$B+C, where B and C are isotopes of hydrogen, depends on only the pairwise relative energy Es between A and B. Until now, the PEM has been used to interpret theoretically the isotope effect for the reactions such as $O(^3P)+HD,\;Ar^++(H_2,\;D_2,and\;HD)$. In this paper we carry out extensive quasiclassical trajectory calculations for the three possible reactions $Cl+H_2$ and HD and show that the PEM works very well at high energy. In particular we are able to accurately predict the intramolecular isotope effect at high energy for the reaction of Cl+HD using only the cross section data for $Cl+H_2$. To understand that the PEM works so well at high energy, the internal energy distributions for the products are examined. The distributions for three reactions are different at a fixed relative collision energy E but are approximately same at a fixed pairwise energy Es. This suggests that the PEM works very well at high energy. We believe the conclusions reached here will apply to other A+BC systems.

To establish an effective diagnostic measure for detection of the antibodies against Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, the methods for tube agglutination test (TAT), plate agglutination test (PAT), micro-agglutination test(MAT) and agar-gel immunodiffusion test(ID) were improved and standarized, and the comparative studies were carried out. The results obtained through the experiments were summarized as follows. 1. The rabbit hyperimmune sera to reference serotypes 1 to 6 were cross-tested with TAT, PAT, MAT and ID. In the homologous systems, the range of antibody titers in TAT was 80 to 640, showing the cross-reaction in serotypes 3, 4, 5 and 6. The range of antibody titers in PAT was 4 to 64, showing the cross-reaction in serotypes 3, 4, 5 and 6. In ID, the range of antigen titers was 8 to 32, and cross-reaction was observed in serotype 5. 2. The optimal concentration of antigen in PAT and MAT were 100mg /ml and 1.25mg /ml respectively. The most sensitive reaction in MAT was observed in 52$^{\circ}C$ for 18hrs. 3. In ID, the most promising antigen and the buffer for agar-gel were EDTA-treated antigen and 0.05M tris buffer (pH 7.2), respectively. 4. By the tests for 200 swine sera, it was found that the frequency of positive reaction were 203 in TAT, 240 in PAT and 163 in ID. 5. When compared the titers of TAT with those of MAT for 200 swine sera, MAT showed the higher titer than TAT being increased by relative correlation. Int was found that the titer for positive readings were 20 in TAT and 40 in MAT. 6. when compared the results of ID with those of TAT for 200 swine sera, all sera with TAT titer under 10 were negative in ID. Of the sera with TAT titer 20 and 40, 55.1% nd 91.8% were positive in ID, respectively. All sera with TAT titer above 80 were positive in ID. In comparison of ID and MAT, all sera with MAT titer under 20 were negative in ID. Of the sera with MAT titer 40 and 80, 24.7% and 93.9% were positive in ID, respectively. All sera with MAT titer over 160 showed positive in ID. 7. In conclusion, the established MAT showed high sensitivity but low specificity, wherease ID revealed low sensitivity but high specificity.

Chitosan is normally acylated and subsequently conjugated with drugs for biomedical applications. This study examined the relationship between the succinylation and gelation behaviors of glycol chitosan. Glycol chitosan was acylated with succinic anhydride under a wide variety of reaction conditions, such as different molar ratios of succinic anhydride to glucosamine, different methanol content in the reaction media, and different reaction temperatures. Among these reaction parameters, the methanol content in the solvent played an important role in determining the regioseletive succinylating site. N-succinylation and N-N cross-linking occurred regardless of the reaction conditions. However, O-succinylation was observed under specific conditions, i.e. a methanol content> 0.6 (v/v) and a reaction temperature> $25^{\circ}C$. O-succinylation accelerated the N-O cross-linking of glycol chitosan, and led to gelation. The N-succinylated glycol chitosans were water-soluble, whereas the N-and O-succinylated glycol chitosans fonned a gel. These physico-chemical structural differences in the succinylated glycol chitosans would definitely influence subsequent drug-conjugation reactions and consequently the drug loading and release kinetics.

A new type of cross-linked methylaluminoxane (MAO)-supported cocatalyst has been prepared by the reaction of a soluble MAO and a cross-liking agent such as an aromatic diamine compound. The cross-linked MAO-supported cocatalyst was used for the polymerization of ethylene in the presence of bis(n-butylcyclopentadienyl) zirconium dichloride, (n-BuCp)$_2$ZrCl$_2$. The catalyst activity of (n-BuCp)$_2$ZrCl$_2$ cocatalyzed with the new supported cocatalyst was higher than that of the commercial silica-supported MAO (SMAO) cocatalyst. The molecular weight and the bulk density of the polyethylene produced by using the new supported cocatalyst were slightly higher than those of polyethylene synthesized using commercial SMAO. The resulting polyethylene particles possess spherical morphologies with very few fine particles.
