Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is generally considered a childhood disease that exhibits various nonspecific clinical and radiological manifestations that mimic infection or malignancy. Here, we present a case of LCH involving the rib in an adult patient. CT and MRI revealed an expansile lytic lesion with periosteal reaction on the left 8th rib, suggesting a malignant bone tumor. Surgical resection was performed and histopathological examination was consistent with LCH. Owing to its rare occurrence in adults and nonspecific aggressive features, LCH should be included in the differential diagnosis of an aggressive-appearing rib lesion in both adults and children.

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is commonly characterized by abnormal function and differentiation or proliferation of monocytes. In LCH, granulomatous lesions, including langerine-positive histocytes and inflammatory infiltrates, can occur to all tissues, particularly well in the bones, skin, lungs, and pituitary gland. In case of external auditory canal LCH, conductive hearing loss may occur, and the most common symptom is otorrhea. Here we present a case that 49-year-old male with external auditory canal mass. Since no invasive findings were seen in radiologic study, endoscopic transcanal excision was performed and LCH was proven by pathologic report. We present this case of external auditory canal LCH with the review of literature.

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare disorder histologically characterized by the proliferation of Langerhans cells. Here we present the case of a 13-year-old girl with LCH wherein CT and MRI results led us to an initially incorrect diagnosis of meningioma. The diagnosis was corrected to LCH based on pathology findings. An intracranial mass was found mainly in the dura mater, with thickening of the surrounding dura. It appeared to be growing downward from the calvaria, pressing on underlying brain tissue, and had infiltrated the inner skull, causing a bone defect. The lesion was calcified with the typical dural tail sign. The dural origin of the lesion was verified upon surgical dissection. There are no previous reports in the literature describing LCH of dural origin presenting in young patients with typical dural tail signs and meningioma-like imaging findings. The current case report underscores the need for thorough histological and immunocytochemical examinations in LCH differential diagnosis.

The lobular capillary hemangioma (LCH) was previously known to pyogenic granuloma and is benign vascular lesion which grows rapidly on skin and mucosa. It arises from whole body, but oral and nasal cavities are most predilection sites in the head and neck area. The laryngeal LCH looks like a granulomatous lesion of posterior glottis and its common etiology are tracheal intubation and laryngopharyngeal reflux disease etc. The LCH in larynx can cause blood tinged sputum and lump sense. The lesions refractory to medical therapy or causing dyspnea may require surgical excision. A 74-year-old man who presented gradually aggravated dyspnea, lump sensation and hoarseness of one month came to our hospital. The stroboscopic examination revealed large well-margined glottic mass. It was excised with $CO_2$ laser and finally diagnosed as LCH. We present a rare unique case of glottic LCH with a review of literatures.

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH), a disorder of the phagocytic system, is a rare condition. Moreover, spinal involvement causing myelopathy is even rare and unusual. Here, we report a case of atypical LCH causing myelopathy, which was subsequently treated by corpectemy and fusion. A 5-year-old boy presented with 3 weeks of severe neck pain and limited neck movement accompanying right arm motor weakness. CT scans revealed destruction of C7 body and magnetic resonance imaging showed a tumoral process at C7 with cord compression. Interbody fusion using cervical mesh packed by autologus iliac bone was performed. Pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of LCH. After the surgery, the boy recovered from radiating pain and motor weakness of right arm. Despite the rarity of the LCH in the cervical spine, it is necessary to maintain our awareness of this condition. When neurologic deficits are present, operative treatment should be considered.

Lobular capillary hemangioma (LCH) is a type of benign vascular tumor. It arises from vascular endothelial cells and contains capillaries arranged in a lobular pattern. In the head and neck, the most common presenting location of LCH is the lips, and presentation in the larynx is very rare. LCH might not be distinct from granuloma in macroscopic views. We report a 71-year-old female with LCH of the larynx that was totally resected via laryngeal microsurgery with a CO₂ laser and briefly review the literature.

새로운 항생물질을 개발하기 위하여 토양으로부터 분리한 균주를 액체 및 고체배지에서 배양하여 여러 검정균에 대하여 종이디스크법으로 항균효력을 조사하였다. 그 결과 (+), G(-), fungi 등에 강한 항균 효력을 보인 토양균 SNUS 8810-43과 Mycobacterium, fungi에 항균력을 보인 토양균 SNUS 8810-129를 선택하여 각각의 배양액에서 항생물질을 분리하고, 분리한 항생물질의 구조를 규명하고자 하였다. 토양균 SNUS 8810-43의 배양액으로부터 항생물질을 분리하기 위하여 양이온 교환 수지 관 크로마토그래피와 셀룰로오스 관 크로마토그래피를 수행하여 시료 JJH-II-46-43을 얻었다. 시료 JJH-II-46-43의 IR, $^1$H-NMR, $^{13}$C-NMR, $^1$H-$^1$H COSY, $^1$H-$^{13}$C COSY, FAB-MS 스펙트럼을 얻어 분리한 항생물질의 구조를 분석하여 이 항생물질의 구조가 N-methylstreptothricin과 동일하다는 것을 확인하였다.

Histiocytosis-X is a disorder characterized by proliferation of cells, phenotype of Langerhans' cells. Traditionally, these diseases include three subtypes of commen histologic features and clinical findings respectively. Eosinophilic granuloma shows a solitary or multiple skeletal lesions. Hand-Schuller-Christian disease often fatal due to widespread extraskeletal lesions. Patient' chief compaints are frequent bone pain and swelling. During rescent 10 years in our hospital, 13 patients, 11 male and 2 female, were diagnosed as Histiocytosis-X. And we evaluated clinical features, radiographic finding, histological characteristics and treatment modalities according to the each subtypes. Major treatment methods of the eosinophic granulma was a chemotherapy combined with local currettage, wide resection of the lesion should be performed carefully in selective cases.

The airloads and structural loads of Light Civil Helicopter (LCH) rotor are investigated using a loose CFD/CSD coupling. The structural dynamics model for LCH 5-bladed rotor cwith elastomeric bearing and inter-bladed damper is constructed using CAMRAD-II. Either isolated rotor or rotor-fuselage model is used to identify the effect of the fuselage on the aeromechanics behavior at a cruise speed of 0.28. The fuselage effect is shown to be marginal on the aeromechanics predictions of LCH rotor, though the effect can be non-negligible for the tail structure due to the prevailing root vortices strengthened by the fuselage upwash. A lifting-line based comprehensive analysis is also conducted to verify the CFD/CSD coupled analysis. The comparison study shows that the comprehensive analysis predictions are generally in good agreements with CFD/CSD coupled results. However, the predicted comprehensive analysis results underestimate peak-to-peak values of blade section airloads and elastic motions due to the limitation of unsteady aerodynamic predictions. Particularly, significant discrepancies appear in the structural loads with apparent phase differences.

Layered copper hydroxides [LCHs, $Cu_2(OH)_3{\cdot}NO_3$] has the agricultural potentials as a fungicide because of its high crystallinity, excellent anion exchange capacity, and its regular layered particle size. The study, for the first time, has synthesized LCHs in highly concentrated solution and evaluated its physicochemical properties including the crystallinity and suspension stability. Optimal synthetic condition of LCHs was determined by crystallinity and stability of suspension as follow; 1) concentrations of $Cu(NO_3)_2$ and NaOH solutions were 3.0 M respectively, 2) reaction temperature and solution pH were $25^{\circ}C$ and 6.0, respectively, and 3) aging time after reaction was 2hr. Crystallinity of LCHs enhanced with increase in pH up to 9.0. Whereas, stability of suspension was decrease by increase in crystal size. Especially, increase in reaction temperature decreased stability of suspension. XRD patterns and SEM images exhibited that LCHs had regular layered particle size with 0.2~0.8 ${\mu}m$ and high crystallinity in optimal synthetic condition. The particle size was increased with increase in reaction temperature and pH. These results showed that LCHs synthesized in highly concentrated solution exhibited high stability of suspension as well as high crystallinity suitable to their potential as a fungicide.
