Background For early breast cancer patients, skin-sparing mastectomy or nipple-sparing mastectomy with sentinel lymph node biopsy has become the mainstream treatment for immediate breast reconstruction in possible cases. However, a few cases of skin necrosis caused by methylene blue dye (MBD) used for sentinel lymph node localization have been reported. Methods Immediate breast reconstruction using a silicone implant was performed on 35 breasts of 34 patients after mastectomy. For sentinel lymph node localization, 1% MBD (3 mL) was injected into the subareolar area. The operation site was inspected in the postoperative evaluation. Results Six cases of immediate breast reconstruction using implants were complicated by methylene blue dye. One case of local infection was improved by conservative treatment. In two cases, partial necrosis and wound dehiscence of the incision areas were observed; thus, debridement and closure were performed. Of the three cases of wide skin necrosis, two cases underwent removal of the dead tissue and implants, followed by primary closure. In the other case, the breast implant was salvaged using latissimus dorsi musculocutaneous flap reconstruction. Conclusions The complications were caused by MBD toxicity, which aggravated blood disturbance and skin tension after implant insertion. When planning immediate breast reconstruction using silicone implants, complications of MBD should be discussed in detail prior to surgery, and appropriate management in the event of complications is required.

La 이온이 도핑된 Ti-SBA-15 촉매를 수열합성법으로 제조하였고, 이들의 특성을 XRD, FT-IR, DRS, $NH_3$-TPD 및 PL 등을 이용하여 조사하였다. 또한, 이 촉매를 사용하여 메틸렌블루에 대한 광분해 반응성을 조사하였다. La 이온이 도핑되더라도 Ti-SBA-15 촉매는 메조동공체 구조를 유지하고 있으며, $500^{\circ}C$에서 6 h 동안 소성 한 것이 가장 결정성이 좋았다. La 이온의 치환량이 증가함에 따라 기공의 크기와 기공의 부피가 줄어들었으며 표면적은 오히려 증가하였다. 메틸렌블루의 광분해 반응에서 1%의 La 이온을 첨가 시킨 것이 가장 높은 광촉매 활성을 보여주었으며, 도핑량이 5% 이상이 되면 순수한 Ti-SBA-15 촉매보다 오히려 활성이 떨어진 것을 볼 수 있다.

화학기상증착법으로 제조된 $TiO_2$ 광촉매 볼을 이용하여 마이크로웨이브와 자외선을 동시에 조사시켜 메틸렌블루 수용액의 광촉매 분해실험을 하였다. 광촉매반응에 마이크로웨이브와 자외선을 같이 사용하기 위하여 마이크로웨이브에 의해 방전되는 무전극자외선램프를 개발하였다. 실험결과 마이크로웨이브의 강도, 반응수용액의 순환유속 그리고 산화보조제의 첨가량이 증가할수록 광촉매분해속도가 증가하였다. 특히 과산화수소를 첨가한 광촉매반응에 마이크로웨이브를 부가한 실험의 반응속도상수는 $0.0197min^{-1}$이고 광촉매반응에 과산화수소만을 첨가한 경우의 속도상수는 $0.0061min^{-1}$로 약 3배정도 높은 값을 나타내었다. 본 연구의 결과로부터 광촉매반응에 마이크로웨이브가 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 평가하기는 어렵지만, 과산화수소가 첨가되는 광촉매반응에 마이크로웨이브의 조사가 매우 중요한 인자인 것을 알 수 있었다.

L-${\alpha}$-lecithin vesicle, bacteriorhodopsin(BR) 그리고 인지질로 재구성된 BR vesicle(InBR vesicle)의 각각의 수용액에서 methylene blue(MB)의 흡수성질을 $20^{\circ}C$에서 $60^{\circ}C$까지 흡수분광법으로 측정하였다. 인지질 vesicle에서 묽은 농도의 MB는 단위체와 이합체 사이에 평형을 이루었고, 고농도의 MB는 oligomer를 형성하였다. 대부분의 경우에 지질(vesicle)의 농도가 매우 높아지면 점점 단위체로 재분배 되었다. 일정한 MB 농도에 BR를 첨가할 때 흡광도비(${\alpha}/{\beta}$)는 감소되며 oligomer가 형성되었다. MB는 InBR vesicle의 상전이 온도 부근에서 흡광도비(${\alpha}/{\beta}$)가 증가했으나 인지질 vesicle에서는 상전이에 무관했다. 이것은 InBR vesicle 표면 위에서 회합하는 MB 분자들은 지질의 상전이에 영향을 받아 단위체로 재분배되는 것으로 사료된다.

Methemoglobinemia is a condition in which the iron portion of hemoglobin, which binds to oxygen, is oxidized to produce methemoglobin, which increases blood concentration. There are many causes of methemoglobinemia, the most common being food, drugs, and chemicals. A 75-year-old male patient who had taken an herbicide did not notice any nonspecific symptoms. However, after 4 hours, his methemoglobin levels increased to 17.1%, while after 7 hours it increased to 26.5%, at which time intravenous administration of methylene blue 1 mg/kg (an antidote) was started. After a total of five doses of methylene blue at 1 mg/kg due to reactive methemoglobinemia for about 36 hours, the methemoglobin levels increased to 23.7%. Because no more methylene blue could be administered, 10 g of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) was administered intravenously. After 82 hours, ascorbic acid 10 g was administered six times for repeated reactive methemoglobinemia. No additional reactive methemoglobinemia was observed. The ventilator and endotracheal tube were successfully removed on day 5 after admission.

Many industries, such as textiles, chemical refineries, leather, plastics and paper, use different dyes in various process steps. At the same time, these industrial sectors are responsible for discharging contaminants that are harmful and toxic to humans and microorganisms by introducing synthetic dyes into wastewater. Of these dyes, methylene blue dye, which is classified as basic dyes, is accepted as a model dye. For this reason, methylene blue dye was selected in the study and its removal from the water was studied. In this study, two efficient biosorbents were developed from chitosan and sunflower waste, an agro-industrial waste and modified using iron nanoparticles. The biosorption efficiency was evaluated for methylene blue (MB) dye removal from aqueous solution under various parameters such as treating agent, solution pH, biosorbent dosage, contact time, initial dye concentration and temperature. We investigated the kinetic properties of dye removal from water for Chitosan-Sunflower (CS), Chitosan-Sunflower-Nanoiron (CSN). When the wavelength of MB dye was spectrophotometrically scanned, the maximum absorbance was determined as 660 nm. For the core shell biosorbents we obtained, we found that the optimum time for removal of MB from wastewater was 60 min. The pH of the best pH was determined as 5 in the studied pH. The most suitable temperature for the experiment was determined as 30℃. SEM-EDAX, TEM, XRD, and FTIR techniques were used to characterize biosorbents produced and modified in the experimental stage and to monitor the change of biosorbent after dye removal. The interactions of the paint with the surface used for removal were explained by these techniques. It was calculated that 80% of CS and 88% of CSN removed MB in optimum conditions. Also, the absorption of MB dye onto the surface was investigated by Langmiur and Frendlinch isotherms and it was determined from the results that the removal was more compatible with Langmiur isotherm.

Nanoparticles of the semiconductor catalyst $Cd_xZn_{1-x}S$ were embedded into the metal organic framework MIL-101(Cr) to obtain $Cd_xZn_{1-x}S@MIL-101$(Cr) nanocomposites. These materials not only possess high surface areas and mesopores but also show good utilization of light energy. The ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance patterns of $Cd_xZn_{1-x}S@MIL-101$(Cr) nanocomposites showed that $Cd_{0.8}Zn_{0.2}S@MIL-101$(Cr) possessed good visible light response ability among the synthesized nanocomposites. The photocatalytic performance of the $Cd_xZn_{1-x}S@MIL-101$(Cr) nanocomposites were tested via degradation and mineralization of methylene blue in neutral water solution under light irradiation using a 300W xenon lamp. As a result, using $Cd_{0.8}Zn_{0.2}S@MIL-101$(Cr) as a catalyst, 99.2% of methylene blue was mineralized within 30 min. Due to the synergistic effect of adsorption by the MIL-101(Cr) component and photocatalytic degradation provided by the $Cd_{0.8}Zn_{0.2}S$ component, the $Cd_{0.8}Zn_{0.2}S@MIL-101$(Cr) catalyst displayed superior photocatalytic performance relative to $Cd_{0.8}Zn_{0.2}S$ and MIL-101(Cr). Furthermore, $Cd_{0.8}Zn_{0.2}S@MIL-101$(Cr) possessed excellent stability during photodegradation and exhibited good reusability. The remarkable photocatalytic performance of $Cd_{0.8}Zn_{0.2}S@MIL-101$(Cr) is likely due to the effective transfer of electrons and holes at the heterojunction interfaces.

The asymmetric polylactic acid (PLA) membrane was prepared via phase inversion method using non-solvent induced separation (NIPS) technique. This study aims to synthesized as well as to characterize the PLA membrane and evaluating the membrane performance on water flux and permeability. In addition, this research also studied the removal performance of methylene blue dye. The polymer solution has been prepared using 12 wt.% of PLA and dissolved in 88 wt.% of Dimethylacetamide (DMAc) as a solvent. Then, the cast film was immersed in different ratio of coagulant bath medium (distilled water: methanol: ethanol) ranging from 100:0:0, 75:25:0, 75:0:25 and 75:12.5:12.5, respectively). Several characterizations were performed which include, membrane contact angle and membrane porosity. Performance PLA membranes were determined in terms of water flux and permeability at 1 bar transmembrane pressure using dead-end permeation cell. Finally, methylene blue (MB) removal efficiency was tested at the same transmembrane pressure. The findings revealed that the increase of alcohol concentration in coagulant bath resulted in higher porosity and lower contact angle. In short, MB dye rejection efficiency is also closely related to the amount of alcohol ratio used in coagulant baths. Increases in concentration of methanol and ethanol in coagulant bath medium increases the membrane porosity thus increased in efficiency of methylene blue rejection.
