Purpose: To classify and describe the characteristic features of MRI of some ameloblastoma variants. Materials and Methods: The MR images, CT images, and panoramic radiographs in 5 cases were retrospectively examined as follows. First, the contents of ameloblastomas were devided into two portions of either solid or cystic components on the basis of MR signal intensities. The signal intensity within the solid or cystic portions was classified as homogeneous or heterogeneous. Next, the characteristic internal feature of the lesion on T1W1 or T2WI was described. The signal intensities were classified into low, intermediate, slightly high, high, and strong high signal intensity. Results: Unicystic lesion showed homogeneous high signal intensity (SI) on T2W2 and the rim enhancement of the surrounding area including the mural nodule and the thick wall except the central portion on Gd- T1W1. Solid type revealed heterogeneous and high SI area with strong high SI area on T2W2. On Gd- T1W1, the area corresponding to the low signal spot on T1W1 and the strong high signal spot on T2W1 showed low SI. Hybrid type showed slightly enhanced capsular structures and low SI for the round bony septa and the areas connecting the mixed and cystic lesions on T2Wl and Gd-T1W1. Conclusion: MRI could easily assess the relationship between the mixed and cystic findings in ameloblastoma.

In situ recovery of recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (hGM-CSF) was performed in transgenic Nicotiana tabacum cell suspension cultures. Aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) were used to utilize its biocompatibility. Transgenic plant cells could be grown up to 15.7 g/L in normal medium and 18.6 g/L in ATPS composed of 6% (w/w) polyethylene glycol (PEG) 20,000 and 10% (w/w) dextran 2,000,000. It was proved that the A TPS was not harmful to cell growth. In addition, It is expected to recover hGM-CSF simultaneously with cell growth. Using this method, maximum hGM-CSF concentration at 1.64 ng/mL was obtained on day 3.

The mother Ni-W (1-5 wt.%) alloy billets for coated conductor substrate were fabricated by powder metallurgy process. The tensile test results for the sintered Ni-W rods showed the increase of mechanical strength and decrease of ductility with increasing W content due to the solid solution hardening. All the fracture surfaces of the tested specimens showed the typical ductile fracture mode of dimple rupture due to the local necking. The Ni-W alloy billets were made into tape by cold rolling. After the appropriate heat treatment for recrystallization, the brass texture formed by the cold rolling was converted to the complete cube texture. The in-plane and out of plane texture of the tapes estimated by x-ray pole figure were smaller than 9 degree and 7 degree, respectively. The effect of the W addition on the texture development seems not to be significant.

Propane fires of 1000 to 3000 kW in the ISO 9705 fire room were simulated using FDS to study the problem of decreasing temperature with increasing fire size. A criterion is proposed for under-ventilated fires. The computed temperature at 2000 kW and above was lower than that at 1500 kW. The heat release rate was limited by a lack of oxygen in the simulation. It was found that the heat release rate can therefore be a criterion for under-ventilated fires in simulations. Fires of 1700 kW and above in the ISO 9705 fire room are predicted to be under-ventilated.

The effects of temperature and Korean bramble (Rubus coreanum Miquel) tissue concentrate on heterocyclic aromatic amine (HAA) formation in fried ground beef patties were investigated. Various amounts of Korean bramble tissue (4.0, 7.0, and 11.0%, w/w) were added to ground beef patties were fried at 2 different temperatures (190 and $225^{\circ}C$) for 10 min/side. It was observed in the fried ground beef patties fried at $190^{\circ}C$ with the addition of 11.0%(w/w) Korean bramble that the mutagenicity decreased by 64%, and formation of 2-amino-3,8-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline (MeIQx) and 2-amino-I-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]-pyridine(PhIP) reduced by 55 and 86%, respectively. Although no difference in total mutagenicity was shown in patties fried at $225^{\circ}C$ with the addition of 4.0, 7.0, and 11.0%(w/w), different levels of reduction of PhIP formation in patties fried at $225^{\circ}C$ with the addition of 4.0, 7.0, and 11.0%(w/w) were shown 49, 63, and 75%, respectively.

In this study, $Ni-W-Si_3N_4$ alloy composite coatings were prepared by pulse electrodeposition method using nickel sulfate bath with different contents of tungsten source, $Na_2WO_4.2H_2O$, and dispersed $Si_3N_4$ nano particles. The structure and microstructure ofcoatings was separately analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Results indicated that nano $Si_3N_4$ and W content in alloy had remarkable effect on microstructure, microhardness and scratch resistant properties. Tungsten content in Ni-W and $Ni-W-Si_3N_4$ alloy ranged from 7 to 14 at.%. Scratch test results suggest that as compared to Ni-W only, $Ni-W-Si_3N_4$ prepared from Ni/W molar ratio of 1:1.5 dispersed with 20 g/L $Si_3N_4$ has shown the best result among different samples.

The influence of carrageenan addition on the gelatinization of salt-based surimi gels was investigated by measuring compressive properties and Hunter color scale values. Hydrocolloid kappa (${\kappa}$)-carrageenan at 0%, 0.2%, and 1.0% and NaCl (2% w/w), KCl (1.5% w/w), and a mixture of NaCl (2% w/w) and KCl (1.5% w/w), were added to Alaska pollock surimi. Gel compressive properties were assessed by measuring the breaking force and gel strength. The gelling property of ${\kappa}$-carrageenan-induced surimi gel was significantly increased by the incorporation of KCl rather than NaCl. The addition of ${\kappa}$-carrageenan increased the breaking force and gel strength of surimi gels. Gels with 1% ${\kappa}$-carrageenan and KCl had the highest breaking force and gel strength. The addition of ${\kappa}$-carrageenan caused an increase in the whiteness values of the surimi gels.

The effect of aqueous and alcoholic extract of seeds of Nigella sativa (N. sativa) was studied on the spontaneous movements of the whole worm (w.w) preparation and nerve muscle (n.m) complex of Setaria cervi (S. cervi). Both the extracts caused inhibition of spontaneous movements of the w.w and n.m complex characterized by initial stimulation followed by irreversible paralysis, with the exception that aqueous extract produced a partially reversible paralysis of w.w preparation. Lesser concentration of both the extracts was required to inhibit the movements of n.m complex than the w.w. Suggesting a cuticular permeability barrier. The lethal concentration $50\;(LC_{50})$ and lethal concentration $90\;(LC_{90})$ were 30 and 55 ng/ml for aqueous and 45 and 60 ng/ml for alcoholic extracts respectively.

A newly synthesized polyhydroxy aromatic compound(LG 106w) has good skin lightening effect. Inclusion complexation of LG 106w with $\beta$-cyclodextrin and its hydroxypropyl and dimethyl derivatives was studied by the solubility method, scanning electron microscopy and differential thermal analysis. A relationship between host and guest was clearly reflected in the magnitude of the stability constant(DM-$\beta$> HP-$\beta$>$\beta$ -cyclodextrin). Formulation problems, which resulted from its very low solubility in aqueous solution, were resolved by the inclusion formation. LG 106W from inclusions is much more water-soluble than pure one. The improvement of pH and temperature stability correlated with the increased solubility was also observed. Inclusion complex of LG 106w had similar activity to pure LG 106w on the inhibition of melanin synthesis in B-16 melanoma cell but showed lower irritation on cultured cell test in vitro. According to the results, cyclodextrins might be one of the reliable candidates for improving the availability of LG 106w.

The long terminal repeats (LTRs) of human endogenous retrovirus (HERV) have been found to be coexpressed with sequences of closely located genes. It has been suggested that the LTR elements have contributed to the structural change or genetic variation of human genome connected to various diseases and evolution. We examined the HERV-W LTR elements in various cancer cells (2F7, A43l , A549, HepG2, MIA-PaCa-2, PC-3, RT4, SiHa, U-937, and UO-31). Using genomic DNA from the cancer cells, we performed PCR amplification and identified twelve new HERV-W LTR elements. Those LTR elements showed a high degree of sequence similarity (88-99％) with HERV-W LTR (AF072500). A phylogenetic tree obtained by the neighbor-joining method revealed that HERV-W LTR elements could be mainly divided into two groups through evolutionary divergence. Three HERV-W LTR elements (RT4-2, A43l-1, and UO3l-2) belonged to Group 1, whereas nine LTR elements (2F7-2, A549-1, A549-3, HepG2-3, MP2-2, PC3-1, SiHa-8, SiHa-10, and U937-1) belonged to Group 11. Taken together, our new sequence data of the HERV-W LTR elements may contribute to an understanding of tissue-specific cancer by genomic instability of LTR integration.
