We report a case of dural marginal zone lymphoma which showed the usual radiological findings resembling meningioma. A 59-year-old woman presented with headache. Initial computed tomography and magnetic resonance images showed a frontal convexity meningioma. The patient underwent a craniotomy and subtotal (simpson grade II) resection of tumor was done. Pathological examination confirmed an extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue (MALT). The lesion was composed of a lymphoid mass with irregularly shaped follicles surrounded by many monomorphic small lymphocytes and a stained marginal zone for B-cell markers CD20 and CD29a. The natural history of primary CNS lymphoma and MALT type lymphoma are different. B-cell MALT lymphoma can mimic meningioma in its radiological features. Accordingly, MALT lymphoma of the CNS must be considered in the differential diagnosis of meningioma.

Removal of heavy metal ions (Cd$^{2+}$, Cr$^{3+}$, Cu$^{2+}$, Pb$^{2+}$) by several chitosans was studied and the molecular weight of chitosan was investigated in order to examine the effect of autoclaving. Chitosan were divided into 3 groups (A type, controlled chitosan; B type, autoclaved for 15 min; C type, autoclaved for 60 min). The heavy metal removal capacity and rate of B type chitosan were higher than those of A type and B type chitosan. The molecular weight of chitosan was decreased by the increase of autoclaving time. Therefore, the heavy metal capacity was not well correlated to the molecular weight. Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm was determined from the experimental results of equilibrium adsorption for individual heavy metal ions on chitosan. Langmuir isotherm was well fitted to this experimental data. The heavy metal removal capacity of B type chitosan was in the order of Pb$^{2+}$ > Cu$^{2+}$ > Cd$^{2+}$> Cr$^{3+}$.3+/.$.3+/.

In this study, we manufactured polymer-LED using light emitting copolymer as the active layer. After cathode layer deposition, we did post-annealing at $150^{\circ}C$ during 10 min in $N_2$ glove box. Then, we confirmed that the efficiency of the device was significantly enhanced by post annealing process. Its value was increased from 0.18(cd/A) to 1.32(cd/A), approximately 7 times. This phenomenon is a result of improved stability between polymer and metal cathode for injection of electrons as the contact density increases.

Two single crystals of fully dehydrated $Cd^{2+}$-exchanged zeolites Y were prepared by the exchange of ${\mid}Na_{75}{\mid}[Si_{117}Al_{75}O_{384}]-FAU$ ($Na_{75}-Y$, Si/Al = 1.56) with aqueous $0.05M\;Cd(NO_3)_2$ (pH = 3.65) at 294 K, followed by vacuum dehydration at 723 K (crystal 1) and a second crystal, similarly prepared, was exposed to zeolitically dried benzene for 72 hours at 294 K and evacuated (crystal 2). Their structures were determined crystallographically using synchrotron X-rays and were refined to the final error indices using $F_o$>$4{\sigma}(F_o)$ of $R_1/wR_2=0.040/0.121$ and 0.052/0.168, respectively. In crystal $1({\mid}Cd_{36}H_3{\mid}[Si_{117}Al_{75}O_{384}]-FAU)$, $Cd^{2+}$ ions primarily occupy sites I and II, with additional $Cd^{2+}$ ions at sites I', II', and a second site II. In crystal $2({\mid}Cd_{35}(C_6H_6)_{24}H_5{\mid}[Si_{117}Al_{75}O_{384}]-FAU)$, $Cd^{2+}$ ions occupy five crystallographic sites. The 24 benzene molecules are found at two distinct positions within the supercages. The 17 benzene molecules are found on the 3-fold axes in the supercages where each interacts facially with one of site IIa $Cd^{2+}$ ions. The remaining 7 benzene molecules lie on the planes of the 12-rings where each is stabilized by multiple weak electrostatic and van der Waals interactions with framework oxygens.

Porphyrins generally bind DNA in two different ways with respect to the mixing ratio; monomeric binding at a low mixing ratio and outside stacking at a high mixing ratio. In the present study, CTDNA binding property of a planar structured porphyrin, 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(N-methyl-4-pyridin-4-yl-phenyl)porphyrin (referred to as B-TMPyP) was investigated using absorption, CD, LD, and $LD^r$ spectroscopies. B-TMPyP produced a bisignate CD band, even at the lowest mixing ratio, indicating that B-TMPyP may not have a monomeric binding mode. From the observations of the spectral changes to the absorption, CD, and LD spectra in mixing ratio dependent titrations, B-TMPyP seems to have a quite different stacking type compared to that for the binding of $H_2$TMPyP. Moreover, B-TMPyP produced a CD band of opposite shape in the Soret band region. A qualitative explanation for the observed optical differences is also given.

Cadmium telluride(CdTe) nanowires were successfully synthesized from individual nanoparticles via self-assembly and the evolutionary process was investigated. The oxidation of tellurium ions on CdTe nanoparticles resulted in the organization of individual nanoparticle into twisted-nanoribbons. The nanoparticles self-assembled to twisted ribbons under light while nanoparticles under dark transformed to straight nanowires made of several layers of individual nanoparticles. The images of nanoribbons were analysed based on transmission electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The photoluminescence was blue-shifted from 555 to 545nm.

The therapeutic effects and immune responses with Oidenlandiae Herba administration(17.5%, 1g/30 kg, everyday, PO) were investigated in calves(1 to 3 months old) with diarrhea from 159 Korean native calves(76 heads from A farm and 83 heads from B farm) in Jeju. The causes of 47 calves with diarrhea were coronavirus(1 head) and rotavirus(1 head), coccidium(5 heads) and bacteria(40 herds). PCV values were significantly increased 2 weeks after administration of Oldenlandiae Herba in A form, compared by those of pre-treatment(p<0.05). However RBC, TP, WBC, fibrinogen levels were not significantly changed. The significant difference were not detected in changes of AST, BUN and creatinine. The CD14+ distribution rate were increased in 1 week after administration of Oldenlandiae Herba, compared by that of pre-treatment(p<0.05), however, certain tendencies of changes were not observed in distribution rates of CD4+ CD8+ and CD19+, respectively. The rate of death was 20.1%(36/179 calves) in 2004, however, it was decreased to 12.6%(20/159 calves) by Oldenlandiae Herba administration at 2 farms from Jeju in 2005. In conclusion, the administration of Oldenlandiae Herba was effective for treatment of calves with diarrhea.

This study was designed in order to determine the influences of haw (Crataegus pinnatifida $B_{UNGE}$) on the lipid metabolism syndrome. Sprague Dawley rats, 7 weeks old, were given four different types of diets for 5 weeks: ND group (noncholesterolemic diet), HE group (non cholesterolemic diet+haw extract), CD group (cholesterolemic diet), CH group (cholesterolemic diet+haw extract). Concentrations of LDL-cholesterol, triglyceride, phospholipid, free cholesterol, cholesteryl ester, blood glucose were remarkably higher in the CD group than the other groups. But by treatment of haw extract group with cholesterolemic diet (CH group) were significantly decreased compared with CD group. Cholesteryl ester ratio was no difference between CD group and CH group. These results indicate that Crataegus pinnatifida $B_{UNGE}$ would be effective in lipid metabolism syndrome.

The authors have demonstrated white oraganic light-emitting diodes (WOLED) using 1,4-bis[2-(4'-diphenylaminobiphenyl-4-yl)vinyl]benzene as fluorescent blue emitter and iridium(III) bis(5-acetyl-2-phenylpyridinato-N,C2') acetylacetonate as phosphorescent red emitter. The optimized WOLED using red host material as bis(2-methyl-8-quinolinato) -4-phenylphenolate exhibited proper color stability in comparison with the control device using 4,4'-N,N'-dicarbazole-biphenyl as red host. The white device showed a maximum luminance of 21100 $cd/m^2$ at 14 V, luminous efficiency of 9.7 cd/A at 20 $mA/cm^2$, and Commission Internationale de I'Eclairage ($CIE_{x,y}$)coordinates of (0.32, 0.34) at 1000 $cd/m^2$. The devices also exhibited the color shift with ${\Delta}CIE_{x,y}$ coordinates of ${\pm}$ (0.01,0.01) from 100 to 20000 $cd/m^2$.

Successive 24 snow samples, collected from a 1.2m snow pit at a site on the summit of Main Dome in King George Island, Antarctic Peninsula, were measured for heavy metals such as Pb, Cd, Cu, and Zn and other chemical species. The mean concentrations of heavy metals are 3.48pg/g for Pb, 0.10pg/g for Cd, 16.6 pg/g for Cu and 15.8 pg/g for Zn, respectively. Pb and Cd concentrations observed in our samples are very comparable to those reported for recent snow at other Antarctic sites, while Zn and Cu levels are much higher than those at other sites. The annual fallout fluxes of all heavy metals approximately calculated are, however, much greater in King George Island than at other sites. With respect to the estimates of natural contributions, sea salt spray is found to be a major contributor to Cd and Zn inputs to the snow and minor to Cu inputs. On the other hand, the anthropogenic input can account for a large part of Pb concentrations. A tentative estimate represents that local emissions could be responsible for more than half of the excess Pb flux to the snow in King George Island.
