Lymphomatoid granulomatosis (LYG) is an uncommon Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated B-cell lymphoproliferative disorder distinct from lymphoma. LYG primarily occurs in the lung with or without accompanied lesions in the skin, central nervous system, kidney, gastrointestinal tract, nose, eyes, liver and oral cavity. Solitary extrapulmonary LYG is extremely rare, and whether solitary lesions progress onto pulmonary development and dysfunction is controversial. Herein, we report a case on a solitary LYG in the maxilla gingiva with bone exposure in a patient who had been taking methotrexate for rheumatoid arthritis.

Juvenile xanthogranuloma (JXG) is a benign histiocytosis that occurs in the pediatric population. Cutaneous JXG is the most common form, while extracutaneous lesions, including oral JXG, is extremely rare. Cutaneous JXG can occur as multiple lesions and may have systemic visceral involvement, but this is not seen in oral JXG. In this case, we report a solitary oral JXG at the gingiva in a 3-year old male.

Geological and geomorphological studies were conducted on 50 uninhabited islands around Daeheuksando and Hongdo. The geomorphological investigation showed the geographical features along coast line for each uninhabited island. Geological relation between two great island - Daeheuksando and Hongdo - was analyzed using geological features such as fault, bedding, fracture and unconformity examined throughout the study area.

Small cell osteosarcoma of bone, which was first described in 1979, is an unusual variant of osteosarcoma. Osteoid production by tumor cells is frequently focal or minimal, making the differential diagnosis with other small round cell tumors of bone difficult. Here, we present a rare case of small cell osteosarcoma of the mandible appearing as bony bulging mass in 31-year-old male who has neither tenderness nor paresthesia. Histologically, the tumor contains hypercellular cartilage and abnormal osteoid associated with small round to ovoid malignant cells. Awareness of small cell osteosarcoma should be emphasized because it has worse prognosis than both other small round cell tumor and conventional osteosarcoma.

This study concerns the geomorphological and geological aspects of Sip-i-dong-pa-do which is consist of 10 separated islands located 38km west of Kunsan, Jeonbuk, Korea. Since these islands are mostly composed of various volcanic rocks, displaying in a circular structure, Sip-i-dong-pa-do may be formed by a cauldron subsidence. They exhibit a beautiful scenery including columnar joint, sea cliff and the other coastal features. Sip-i-dong-pa-do is, therefore, designated as quasi-preservation areas, considering their natural environment.

Nodular fasciitis is defined by the World Health Organization as a benign proliferative fibroblastic lesion. It was first described in 1955 by Konwaler et al. and also known as “nodular pseudosarcomatous fasciitis” and “infiltrative fasciitis”, which reflect the lesion’s rapid growth, dense cellularity, alarming mitotoic activity and lack of circumscription. Here, we report a case of nodular fasciitis, which appeared as subcutaneous mass of right perizygoma area in 40-year-old Korean female. She had no history of trauma or cosmetic surgery related with the lesion. She disclosed that the mass grew rapidly for last 2 months. Computed tomography showed relatively well-defined spherical mass with 1.2 cm in diameter. Under local anesthesia the mass was resected by intraoral approach. The histological examination revealed a relatively poor-dermacated mass with high cellularity, which was composed with infiltrative spindle-shaped cells without accompanying inflammatory reactions. The tumor cells were partially positive for α-smooth muscle actin and β-catenin, but negative for cytokeratin AE1/3, S-100, desmin, and CD34. Therefore, the lesion was pathologically diagnosed as nodular fasciitis. Although nodular fasciitis is known to pseudosarcomatous benign reactive lesion, the clinician need to follow up the patient periodically. The reasons are as follows; Nodular fasciitis may accompany nuclear accumulation of β-catenin, which imply neoplastic process rather than reactive process of the lesion. Moreover, it has many histological similarities with inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor which have malignant transformation tendency. Further research for mesenchymal tumor could help our understanding for the disease entity of nodular fasciitis

This study focuses on the investigation of geological, geographical, and topographical features of uninhabited islands in the Buan Coast, located between Byeonsan offshore and Sangwangdeung-ri of Wido-Myeon. The islands contain typical coastal geographical and topographical features such as seastack, tafoni, sea cliff, erosion cave, and notch. Geology of the islands consist mainly of sedimentary rocks and volcanic rocks, that indicate the geological history of the islands. This investigation allows the classification of island according to the importance of nature conservation of the islands.

Angiosarcoma is an extremely rare sarcoma arising from oral mucosa. We report a case of angiosarcoma in the right maxillary gingiva causing excessive bleeding. The lesion exhibited typical histologic features of angiosarcoma, showing infiltrative proliferation of polygonal endothelial cells and arborizing blood vessels. Tumor cells showed expression of CD 31 and factor VIII, but no expression of CD 34 antigen. The patient expired due to severe bleeding in the oral cavity.

폴리이서설폰은 상용화된 엔지니어링 고분자 소재 중에서 이산화탄소/질소 및 이산화탄소/메탄의 분리 능력이 아주 우수하면서 이산화탄소에 대한 가소화에 대한 저항력이 아주 뛰어난 것으로 알려져 있다[1-4]. 본 연구에서는 연소 배가스내 이산화탄소의 분리/회수를 위하여 건-습식 상전이법에 의해 비대칭구조의 폴리이서설폰 중공사막을 제조하였다. 제막용액은 고비점이면서 폴리이서설폰의 용매인 NMP와 저 비점의 폴리이서설폰의 팽윤제인 acetone를 일정한 조성으로 함께 녹여서 제조하였다. 방사용액의 농도, NMP와 acetone의 비, 방사높이, 증발조건, 실리콘 코팅조건을 변화시키면서 중공사를 제조하였으며, 얻어진 중공사막의 이산화탄소와 질소에 대한 기체투과도와 선택도는 순수기체를 통하여 측정하였다. 최적의 PES 중공사막은 PES/Acetone/NMP = 30/35/35 wt% 방사용액과 실리콘의 코팅조건하에 제조된 것으로 폴리이서설폰 소재 자체의 고유선택도인 30~40의 CO2/N2 선택도를 보였으며 25~50 GPU의 이산화탄소 투과플럭스를 보였다. 이러한 선택도와 투과도로부터 계산된 중공사 외표면의 선택층의 두께는 0.1;μm였다. 제조된 폴리이서설폰중공사막이 향후 연소 배가스내 이산화탄소 분리/회수용 막분리 공정에 적용될 경우 우수한 결과를 보일 것으로 예측된다.

건/습식 상전환법을 이용하여 비대칭 polyethersulfone (PES) 기체분리막을 제조하였으며, CO2, N2등의 기체에 대한 투과특성을 조사하였다. 분리막 제조에 있어서 주요 변수인 캐스팅 용액과 증발시간 등이 분리막의 구조에 미치는 영향을 파악하고 투과특성을 조사하여 최적의 제조조건을 확립하였다. 또한 제조된 분리막의 표피층에 존재하는 pin-hole과 같은 결점을 보완하기 위하여 실리콘 수지를 코팅하여 그 투과특성의 변화를 조사하였다. 실리콘 수지 코팅이 결점을 보완하는데 효과적임을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 분리막 제조에 주로 사용한 캐스팅 용액은 PES, 14-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, 아세톤, 에탄올로 구성되었으며, 응고제로는 증류수를 사용하였다. 캐스팅 용액 중의 PES 함량이 높아질수록, 휘발성 유기용매의 비율이 높아질수록, 증발시간이 길수록, 에탄을 첨가제의 농도가 낮을수록 CO2/N2의 선택도는 높아지고 투과도는 낮아지는 결과를 보였다. 최적의 분리막 제조조건 하에서 얻어진 분리막의 분리성능은 CO2/N2의 선택도가 61이고 CO2의 투과도는 21 GPU인 우수한 결과를 보였다.
