We have developed a method that can leach Co, Mn, and Ni in the cathode active material safely using lactic acid. When cathode active material was leached by lactic acid, lactic acid showed the highest efficiency at 2 N than 1 N and above 4 N concentration. When the cathode active material was added incrementally into the solution of lactic acid, the maximum solubility was 30 g/L at 2 N concentration. Oxalic acid was added in the solution of lactic acid and it showed that rare metals represent the most economical recovery efficiency at 4 g/L. Based on this study, it was found that the optimal condition for recovery of rare metals from cathode active material is oxalic acid : cathode active material = 7 : 1 as a ratio of weight. In addition, it was observed that the precipitate produced by oxalic acid is a polynuclear crystalline material bonded with 3 components of Co, Ni, and Mn.

A 5-month-old intact female Siberian Husky dog was presented for evaluation of severely enlarged maxilla. Abnormalities in CBC, serum chemistry and urinalysis indicated purulent inflammation and renal failure. Cytologic examination of the swollen maxilla showed a mixed population of multinucleated giant cells and round to polygonal to spindle shaped cells either individualized or aggregated. Both type of cells showed moderate anisokaryosis, and anisocytosis, prominent nucleolus or multiple nucleoli, and coarse chromatin. On histopathology maxilla and turbinate were diffusely expanded and replaced by variably dense fibrous connective tissue, and the kidneys showed changes consistent with renal dysplasia. Based on these findings, the diagnosis of fibrous osteodystrophy due to renal dysplasia and fibrosis was made. Despite the supportive care, the dog continued to decline and was euthanized.

Ultrastructure of the cutaneous granular glands and production of their secretory granules in the water toad, Bufo steinegeri Schmidt, are studied with light and electron microscopes. Cutaneous granular glands of the water toad have gland cavity in dermis and gland duct in epidermis. Each gland cavity of the granular glands is consisted of 3 types of cells which are inner glandular epithelial cells, outermost myoepithelial cells and another kind of epithelial cells near the gland duct. Characteristically, cytoplasms of the glandular epitelial cells appeared multinucleated masses without differentiation into cells. Poisonous secretory graules excreated by the merocrine secretion are basicafly composed of 2 kinds of granules which are electron dense granules and electron lucent granules. These granules are fused each other and forming compounded structures. According to the granular size and differentiated levels, they are subdivided into 4 types of granules. Synthesis of these secretory granules is occurred at the smooth endoplasmic reticulums of the glandular epithelial cells and limiting membranes of these granules are also originated from these cell organelles.

NAPL이 다핵방향족화합물의 하나인 phenanthrene 의 생분해에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. Pseudomonas putida CRE7 을 이용한 실험에서 NAPL 의 첨가로 인한 가장 큰 차이는 미생물의 소수성의 변화였다. 소수성이 증대됨으로써 phenanthrene 의 가용성이 증대되었으며, 이로 인해 더 많은 양의 오염물 분해가 이루어졌다. 생물학적 분해의 관찰은 발생되어지는 $^{14}$ $CO_2$의 radioactivity 측정을 통해 이루어졌으며, 미생물의 소수성 측정은 bacterial adhesion to hydrocarbon (BATH) assay 를 이용하였다.

GIS has been developed very rapidly during last few decades and the performance of GIS in terms of information processing such as automated mapping and facility management has been tremendous. However, its analytical capability is still very limited and it is often critisized due to lack of reality. The objective of this research is that first, linking housevalue models to GIS, second, reflecting the complexity of real world into the housevalue model using GIS in terms of incorpor¬rating polycentric urban structure and calculating distance through street network, and third, comparing the results of housevalue model at census tract to that of block group level.

To evaluate the biocompatibility of untreated and anodized titanium specimens, the specimens were implanted in the subcutaneous tissue of the abdominal region of female mice for two weeks. The reaction of connective tissue to specimens was histologically studied. The implants were encapsulated by fibrous connective. tissue consisting of fibroblast, fibrocyte and other cellss including neutroophil, macrophage and giant multinucleated cell. some newly formed blood vessels were located in the fibrous capsule surrounding the implant. Giant multinucleated cells were observed at the fibrous capsule adjacent to the implant. Kind of cell types and the thickness of fibrous capsules were examined quantitatively. Most of cell types located in the fibrous capsule were fibroblast and fibrocyte. The average thickness of fibrous capsules for the anodized specimens was much thinner than that of the untreated titanium specimen. Biocompatibility of titanium specimens were also studied by using cell culture method. The number of MG-63 cells was significantly increased on the anodized titanium specimens in vitro experiment. Our observations suggest that anodized titanium specimens are more effective for the improvement of biocompatibility in vivo and in vitro.

소 난자의 시험관내 수정시 이성체인 1, 2 propanediol과 1, 3 propanediol과의 동결보호제의 이용에 대한 독성효과를 조사하였다. 프랑스에 있는 도축장의 난소에서 채취한 미성숙 난자 212개를 시험관내 성숙과 heparin(10$\mu$g/ml)첨가에 의한 수정 및 배양을 실시하였다. 소 난자의 시험관내 성숙과 수정시 propanediol의 독성효과를 시험한 결과 1,3 propanediol은 80%의 정상 난할분할율과 5.7%의 낮은 다핵분할구율을 나타내었다. 이것은 1,2 propanediol의 73.9%, 10.3%와 미처리대조구의 73.9%, 7.7%와 비교되었으나 처리간의 유의성은 없었다. Heparin 처리구는 1,2 propanediol의 첨가 유무에 관계없이 미처리구에 대하여 고도의 유의성 차이가 인정되었다. (P<0.05)

This study measured the centripetal force and effective scope of the population spread from urban center and subcenters in order to diagnose the urban spatial structure of the formation of a multicentric city structure in Busan. The study analyzed the variability of the determination coefficient value (R square) with a negative exponential function derived from the population density model by extending the circular region into 5-km units. The aim of this study was to measure changes in the effective scope of the population centripetal force of the urban center and subcenter in 5-year intervals from 1995 to 2005 using census data. The explanatory adequacy of the population density function was examined with the bias of the function to calculate the distance error between the real location of the urban center and the optimal location, according to the population density function. To summarize the results, the value for the area of Jungangdong showed a continuous reduction, whereas Seomyeon (Bujeondong) maintained explanatory adequacy without a large change. As a whole, Busan was in the process of continuous diversification, in spite of its reduced population. Therefore, it appears necessary to strengthen the function of the urban center and subcenter and to supply adequate dwelling zones close to downtown to form a more efficient urban spatial structure. The results of the present study will be utilized as basic data for the formulation of a political approach to the efficient reorganization of spatial structure by correlating concrete spatial information with the population variability of Busan's urban center and subcenter.

Purpose; Dysregulation of gastric epithelial cell proliferation and apoptosis are important in development of ulcer, atrophy and neoplasia in Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of infection of H. pylori on gastric epithelial cell proliferation and apoptosis in children. Methods: Histological grading by updated Sydney system, PCNA immunostaining and TUNEL method were performed in H. pylori positive (N=58) and negative (N=40) gastric biopsy specimens. Results: In H. pylori positive children, there were significantly higher grade of polymorphonuclear neutrophil activity (P=0.000), chronic inflammation (P=0.000), epithelial damage (P=0.000) and lymphoid follicles (P=0.000) than in H. pylori negative children. Intestinal metaplasia was not seen in H. pylori positive children. PCNA index was significantly different between H. pylori positive children ($67.8{\pm}18.13$) and H. pylori negative children ($54.8{\pm}14.46$, P=0.000). There was positive correlation between PCNA index and H. pylori density (r=0.277, P=0.007), polymorphonuclear neutrophil activity (r=0.280, P=0.007) and chronic inflammation (r=0.284, P=0.006). Apoptosis index of H. pylori positive children ($0.44{\pm}0.447$) was significantly higher than of H. pylori negative children ($0.14{\pm}0.196$, P=0.000). There was positive correlation between apoptosis index and H. pylori density (r=0.472, P=0.000), polymorphonuclear neutrophil activity (r=0.370, P=0.001) and chronic inflammation (r=0.483, P=0.000). There was positive correlation between PCNA index and apoptosis index (r=0.353, P=0.003). Conclusion: The PCNA and apoptosis index in H. pylori positive children were significantly higher than in H. pylori negative children. This study suggested that gastric epithelial cell proliferation and apoptosis are important to pathogenesis of H. pylori infection in children.

The Wegener's granulomatosis is a rare disease of unknown etiology characterized by ulcerative, necrotic lesion of the upper respiratory tract, progressive pulmonary and renal involvement, and death in a period six months. Relentless progression with rapid death resulting from renal involvement and failure is the usual outcome, but limited forms with confinement to the upper respiratory tract are seen. The authors, recently, have observed a case of Wegener's granulomatosis which was confirmed as pathologically, so present this case with a brief review of the literature.
