  • To remove metal stains of the ceramics, chemical cleaning is essential case by case. This study investigated the removal characteristics of iron stains by oxalic acid and citric acid including their application methods of soaking and poultice. The soaking method in cleaning agents showed removal process by color difference and released iron contents from iron stains on ceramics. Iron stains were removed successfully from ceramics, which soaked in oxalic acid for 60 hours. However, it is recommendable to soak in 0.25M oxalic acid for one to three hours because most iron stains were disappeared in 3 hours soaking. Citric acid is less effective than oxalic acid in removing iron stains because of heavy molecular weight and low acidity. Poultices (bentonite, sepiolite, activated carbon fiber and celite) with oxalic acid were applied on contaminated ceramics. After ten hours, iron stains on ceramics were removed successfully by poultice. Among them, bentonite and sepiolite have better application. Therefore, sepiolite with 0.25M oxalic acid was applied on the iron stains of whiteware and celadon from Ma Island, and then stains were removed. However, it is judged that the application methods can be varied according to the form and depth of contaminant. In addition, the residues of poultice on the ceramics will be considered for preventing contamination.

  • Pneumocystis carinli is an established cause of pulmonary infections in immuno-compromised hosts. Several cytoiogical stains, such as Papanicolaou, Gomori methenamine sliver(GMS) and Diff-Quik have been used for detection of the organism, but occasionally can be laborious and, due to a degree of nonspecificity, may be misleading. We evaluated the diagnostic utility of immunocytochenmical stains that recognize P. carinii in bornchoalveolar lavage from experimentally Induced P. carinii pneumonia rats(n=15). In audition to routine stains for diagnosis by morphologic recognition of P. carinii on Papanicolaou, GMS and Diff-Quik stains, bronchoalveolar lavage samples were reacted with immunocytochemical stains using monoclonal antibodies(MAB) 092 and 902. In bronchoalveolar lavage P. carinii organisms were detected In 9 of 10 cases(90%) using each MAB 092 and 902, whereas GMS and Diff-Quik stains demonstrated P. carinii in 13(86%) and 11(73%) of 15 cases respectively. In lung tissue specimens(n=15) P. carinii organisms were well identified on GMS stain and immunohistochemical stains using MAB 092 and 902 in ail cases. We believe that the immunocytochemical staining using MAB 092 and/or 902 is a very useful and diagnostic tool In addition to GMS and Diff-Qulk stain to detect P. carinii organisms in bronchoalveolar lavage.

  • The cytologic distinction of carcinoma cells from reactive mesothelial cells can be difficult, especially in specimens containing abundant reactive mesotheilal cells and inflammatory cells with scant carcinoma cells. This study evaluates the usefulness of mucin and immunocytochemistry for discrimination between reactive mesotheilal cells and carcinoma cells, and sensitivity and specificity of these stains for the detection of metastatic carcinoma in serous effusions. Immunocytochemical panel including mucin cytochemistry with the periodic acid-Schiff(PAS) reaction after or without diastase digestion was undertaken on 127 serous effusion specimens with histologically confirmed diagnoses. The specimens including cell smears and cell blocks were stained with PAS and antibodies to carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA), epithelial membrane antigen(EMA), cytokeratln(CK), and vimentin. The sensitivities of these stains for metastatic carcinoma(127 cases) were 49%(46/94) in PAS, 48%(60/124) in CEA, 89%(97/109) in EMA, 88%(93/106) in CK, and 25%(20/81) in vimentin. The sensitivities of stains for reactive mesothelial cells(36 cases) were 19%(7/36) in EMA, 78%(28/36) in CK, and 75%(27/36) in vimentin. The PAS and CEA stains were not reacted with all cases of benign reactive serous effusions containing abundant reactive mesothelial cells. The specificities of stains for metastatic carcinoma(127 cases) were 100% in PAS, 100% in CEA, 81% in EMA, 22% in CK, and 25% in vimentin. The optimal combination of stains for use in a panel was PAS and CEA. Combined results from these two stains yielded an advanced sensitivity of 8% in PAS and 4% in CEA for metastatic carcinoma. EMA was also cosiderably useful for identification of carcinoma cells. CK and vimentin were not suitable for distinguishing between reactive mesothelial cells and carcinoma cells.

  • These studies have been carried out to examine the stability of enzyme activity of PGM$_1$subtypes in seminal stains and vaginal stains according to the period of storage time by means of polyacryiamide gel(PAG) isoelectric focusing. The results from the experiments were as follows. (1) The stabflity of enzyme activity of PGM$_1$subtypes was detennined from seminal stains and vaginal stains according to the period of storage time. The PGM$_1$ subtypes of seminal stains stored at room temperature could be detennined 86% after 7 days and 15% after 14 days, but almost impossible after 21 days. (2) In the case of vaginal stains stored at room temperature, PGM$_1$ subtypes could be determined 67% after 7 days, but almost impossible after 14 days. On the other hand, when the vaginal fluid was mixed with seminal fluid, PGM$_1$ subtypes of the seminal fluid could be postulated by the determination of PGM$_1$ subtypes from the vaginal fluid.These results lead to the possibility of application in forensic biology.

  • These studies were done to know decalcification methods to reduce the time of decalcification for quick bone tissue diagnosis. When bone tissue was decalcified with 10 % formic acid at room temperature, decalcification and hematoxylin & eosin (H&E) stains were complete and satisfactory after 12 hours, but some of the tissue sections fell off during staining. In this way, decalcification, H&E stains were complete and satisfactory after 24 hours, 36 hours and 48 hours, tissue sections didn't fall off during staining. When bone tissue was decalcified with 10 % formic acid in a $60^{\circ}C$ paraffin oven, decalcification and H&E stains were complete and satisfactory after 6 hours, but some tissue sections fell off during staining. In this way, decalcification and tissue sections were complete, with no falling off during staining after 8 hours, 10 hours, 12 hours, 14 hours, 24 hours, or H&E stains were satisfactory from 8 hours to 12 hours, but H&E stains appeared to reddish nucleus after 14 hours and 24 hours. Bone tissue was decalcified with 10 % formic acid for 6 hours, 12 hours and 24 hours at DECAL machine frequencies of 15 Hz and 45 Hz, and for 6 hours, 12 hours and 24 hours at a DECAL machine frequency of 90 Hz. Decalcification and H&E stains were complete and satisfactory after 6 hours at the 15 Hz and 45 Hz DECAL settings. Some of the tissue sections fell off during staining at the 15 Hz DECAL machine setting. At the 90 Hz setting, decalcification, H&E stains, and tissue sections were complete and satisfactory with no falling off during staining after 4 hours. In this way, decalcification, H&E stains, and tissue section were complete and satisfactory with no falling off during staining after 12 hours, 24 hours at all machine settings. Bone tissue was decalcified with 10 % formic acid for 6 hours, 12 hours and 24 hours at $37^{\circ}C$ 3 hours, 6 hours and 12 hours at $45^{\circ}C$ and 1 hours, 5 hours and 10 hours at $60^{\circ}C$ with the RHS-1 machine setting at 60Hz. At the temperatures of $37^{\circ}C$, $45^{\circ}C$, and $60^{\circ}C$ decalcification, H&E stains, and tissue sections were complete and satisfactory, with no falling off during staining except for after 6 hours at $37^{\circ}C$. 3 hours, 1 hours, or decalcification, H&E stains, and tissue sections were complete and satisfactory with no falling off during staining after 12 hours and 24 hours at $37^{\circ}C$, 6 hours and 12 hours at $45^{\circ}C$, and 5 hours at $60^{\circ}C$. But H&E stains appeared to reddish nucleus after 10 hours at $60^{\circ}C$. From the above reults, the authors were able to deduce that decalcification is accelerated by heat and frequency. We therefore think that it is necessary for machines which are similar to the RHS-1 machine to be maintained at the temperature evenly with agitation effect for quick decalcification.

  • After the installation of electric cables at block, PE(pre-erection) and hull stages, the coating stains on the electric cable sheath were unavoidably occurred by additional painting process. According to class rules paint or coating applied on the electric cables shall not adversely affect the mechanical, chemical of fire resistant characteristics of the electric cable sheath. However, there has not been quantitatively studied about the effect of coating stains on properties of sheath materials. In this study, we tried to investigate the effect of coating stains on the performance and deterioration of sheath materials by using FTIR, SEM analysis, flame retardant, high potential voltage and tensile test. The results sowed that coating stains, which were occurred during painting work on site could not adversely affect on the performance and deterioration of sheath materials.

  • This research aimed to provide a scientific methodology for removing white and black/brown coloured stains on the wall paintings of tombs of Jinpari No 1 and No 4. in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. For the analysis of chemical composition of stains of the samples from the wall paintings, a microscope and SEM/EDX were used. The analysis confirmed that the fomula of white coloured stains should be $CaSO_4$ or $CaCO_3$ and the black/brown coloured stains should be $CaSO_4$ or $CaCO_3$ with soil deposition. Because of the difficulties of testing several cleaning solutions on sample patches of large area of the painting, the author considered a risk-free cleaning solution as being the most appropriate one, with Ammonium bicarbonate and Anion exchange resin showing satisfactory cleaning effect without visible side effects. For the removal of dense layer of stains, the research suggested that physical cleaning should be followed by applying a cleaning solution.

  • The cobalt blue spinel stains (main composition; CoO:$Al_2O_3$=1 : 1) in CoO-NiO-$Al_2O_$3 and $CoO-Al_2O_3-Cr_2O_3$ system were prepared by the calcination of each component oxides to be adequate for the factory. The color development, the change of the lattice constnat of the spinel and its application to colored glazes were studied. The results were summarized as follows. 1) In CoO-Al_2O_3$ spinel, the excess addition of each component hardly made any variation in lattice constantand alumina-rich spinel specimens caused the brilliant blue color fade. 2) An increase of $Ni^{2+}$ in $CoO-NiO-Al_2O_3$ system, made the lattice constnat of the $CoO-Al_2O_3$ spinel smaller, and an increase of $Cr^{3+}$ in $CoO-Al_2O_3-Cr_2O_3$, larger. 3) Glazed stains under lead glaze were colored nearly same dark blue color fade.
