Objectives : The capillary destruction has frequently been used to treat telangiectasia in Korean Medicine. The objective of this study was to review of related literature concerning the capillary destruction as treatment for telangiectasia, and to discuss the clinical application of medical devices in accordance with the principles of Korean Medicine. Methods and Results : An extensive traditional literature including Huangdi Neijing were reviewed for identification of relevant evidence for treating telangiectasia. The telangiectasia is simply defined as a dilated, superficial blood vessel. It is called as the tertiary collateral vessel, superficial collateral vessel or Hyulrak(small superficial collateral vessel). The telangiectasia could be due to disturbances in the circulation of qi and blood. According to Huangdi Neijing, one of the oldest traditional literature published in 4th century B.C. through the first century A.D., it is needed to get rid of the vessel by the capillary destruction for treating telangiectasia using lance needle, shear needle, stiletto needle or moxibustion. Several studies have examined that intense pulsed light or laser as new therapeutic tools could have an sufficiently impact on aspects of improving the effectiveness of the capillary destruction. Conclusions : The capillary destruction for the treatment of telangiectasia has been used since two thousand years ago. We suggested that medical devices, such as intense pulsed light or laser, should be used to treat telangiectasia as a safe and convenient intervention in clinical practice of Korean Medicine.

비상용성 LDPE/PS 블렌드계 (86.5/l3.5 vol%)를 내부 혼합기를 사용하여 만들었고 레오미터 (rheometer)와 scanning electron microscope (SEM)으로 분산상인 droplet들의 변형과 합체 (coalescence)거동에 대하여 살펴보았다. 혼합 초기에 일정한 크기의 droplet들이 서로 뭉쳐졌고 큰 변형 하에서 실모양 (thread-like)을 나타냈다. 본 실험에 사용한 LDPE/PS 블렌드계의 critical capillary number를 De Bruijn의 실험식으로 계산한 결과 0.96이었고 local capillary number는 3.867이었다. 또한 블렌드 시편을 $200^{\circ}C$에서 다양한 시간으로 서냉한 후 서냉 시간에 따른 형태의 변화를 관찰하였다. $200^{\circ}C$에서 ${\gamma}$=1789일 때 최대 크기의 droplet이 관찰되었고 특히 서냉 시간이 15분일 때 형태의 파괴 (break-up)가 일어났다. Droplet의 합체에 결정적인 영향을 미치는 것은 기질의 점도이다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the irradiatiion effects on the capillary and endothelial cell in the submandibular gland. Sprague-Dawley strain male rats were singly irradiated to their neck region with the dose of 5Gy by 6MV X-irradiation and sacrificed on the 6 hours, 12 hours, 1, 3, 7, and 14days after irradiation. The authors observed the histological changes of the capillary at H & E and PAS staining under a light microscope, and also observed the ultrastructural changes of the endothelial cell using a transmission electron microscope. The obtaining results were as follows: 1. In the light microscopic examination, the capillary density was slightly increased on the 1day after irradiation, and increased until the 7 days after irradiatiion. After then, capillary density was apparently decreased. 2. The reaction to PAS staining at acinar cells was decreased on the 6 hours after irradiation, and recovered on the 7days after irradiation. But reaction was decreased on the 14days after irradiation agan, after then, gradually recovered with days. 3. In the transmission electron microscopic examination, mild proliferation of cytoplasmic process of the endothelial cell and reduction in luminal size were observed just after irradiation. After then, nuclear degeneration, marked proliferation of cytoplasmic process, thickened basal lamina, and numerous cytoplasmic vesicles were observed on the 1day after irradiation. These changes were recovered to normal on the 14days after 5Gy group, but not with 10Gy irradiation group. And destruction of endothelial cell and loss of basal lamina were not observed in both groups. 4. From the above results, reduction in luminal size, proliferation of cytoplasmic process and thickening of basal lamina were observed as the irradiation effects on the capillary and endothelial cell of the submandibular gland. And also, these changes may induce increase in capillary number and endothelial permeability by means of increase of cytoplasmic vesicle formation. The changes appeared earlier and more prominent in 10Gy irradiated group than in 5Gy irradiated group.

Pyogenic granuloma is a overzealous proliferation of a vascular type connective tissue as a result of some minor trauma and is a well circumscribed elevated, pedunculated or sessile benign inflammatory lesion of skin and mucous membrane. The clinical features of pyogenic granuloma are indicative but not specific and nearly all cases of pyogenic granulomas are superficial in nature, and there is little if any mention in the literature of these lesions producing alveolar bone even jaw bone loss. This case is somewhat unique in that the lesion was an obvious histologic pyogenic granuloma; however, it appeared to invade the mandibular bone which resulted in the loss of the adjacent teeth. A 12-year-old boy came to Seoul National University Dental Hospital with chief complaints of left facial swelling. The features obtained were as follows; Plain radiograms showed a large well-circumscribed radiolucent lesion on left mandibular ramus area, which made severe expansion of lingual cortex and displacement of lower left 3rd molar tooth germ. Computed tomograms showed large soft tissue mass involving left masticator space with destruction of left mandibular ramus. Histologically, sections revealed loose edematous stroma with intense infiltration of inflammatory cells and proliferation of vascular channels. Also, there were focal areas of extensive capillary proliferation, bone destruction and peripheral new bone formation.

급성호흡곤란증후군은 다양한 원인에 의해 발생하는 급성 염증성 폐질환으로써 폐포-모세혈관 장벽의 파괴로부터 기인하며 파괴 기전에 호중구가 중요한 역할을 담당한다. 이에 대한 게르마늄의 항염증 효과 즉, 호중구의 폐조직 내 유주 억제로 인한 폐포-모세혈관의 손상의 감소로 폐손상이 경감되는지를 확인하고자 하였다. 실험군은 생리식염수를 투여한 대조군(CON), 내독소 5시간 투여군(LPS), 그리고 게르마늄 1시간 전처리 후 내독소 5시간 투여군(Ge+LPS)으로 나누었으며, 내독소는 $100{\mu}g$을 0.5 mL 생리식염수에 녹여 기도내로 분무하고, 게르마늄은 체중 100 g당 26 mg을 복강으로 투여하였다. 내독소의 주입으로 급성 폐손상을 유도시킨 내독소 투여군에서는 대조군과 비교하여 폐부종(p<0.001), 기관지폐세척액 내 단백질 함량(p<0.05), 호중구의 침윤(p<0.001)이 현저히 증가하였으나 게르마늄을 전처리 한 군은 내독소 투여군과 비교하여 모든 항목에서 유의하게 감소하였다. 현미경을 통한 관찰 결과에서도 게르마늄 전처리군은 내독소 투여군에 비해 내피세포, 제I형 폐포세포, 기저판으로 구성된 폐포-혈관장벽의 구조가 비교적 잘 보존되었고, 제II형 폐포세포의 Lamellar body와 미세융모 그리고 기저판의 구조도 비교적 정상적으로 보존된 상태로 나타났다. 그러므로 게르마늄은 항염증물질로 작용, 즉 호중구의 폐조직 내로의 유주현상을 방해하여 활성화된 호중구의 독성물질로 인한 폐포-모세혈관의 손상을 감소시킬 수 있었으므로 결과적으로 내독소로 유도된 폐손상은 게르마늄의 전처리에 의해 억제되었다고 판단된다.

계면활성제는 상간의 경계면 활성화를 통한 표면장력의 강하능력을 가져 모든 세제(detergents)와 화장품(cosmetics)에 사용되는 필수 주원료이다. 합성세제란 석유화학계의 EO (ethylene oxide), LAB (linear alkylbenzene) 등의 합성계면활성제로 제조한 제품으로 이는 난분해성으로 지구환경, 특히 하천과 강물오염의 주범으로 생태계파괴의 원인이 되고 있다. 이는 또한 분자가 작아 침투력이 강해 피부를 자극하여 아토피피부염을 유발하고 모세관을 통해 기관으로 들어가면 암을 유발할 수도 있다. 최근 합성계면활성제를 대체할 수 있는 양친매성의 생분해성 친환경 및 무자극의 다기능성물질로서 천연 계면활성제 또는 생합성의 생물 계면활성제(biosurfactants)의 개발에 국제적인 관심이 고조되고 있다.

The biodegradability and decomposition efficiencies increase with the pre-treatment of sludge in a digestion process. In this study, the feasibility of ultrasound coupled with potassium permanganate oxidation as a disintegration method and digestibility of aerobic reactor fed with disintegrated sludge with ultrasound coupled potassium permanganate were investigated. The first stage of the study focused on determining the optimum condition for ultrasonic pre-treatment for achieving better destruction efficiency of sludge. The second part of the study, the aerobic digestibility of sludge disintegrated with ultrasound and potassium permanganate oxidation alone and combined were examined comparatively. The results showed that when 20 min of ultrasonic pre-treatment applied, the specific energy output was 49384 kJ/kgTS with disintegration degree of 58.84%. During the operation of aerobic digester, VS/TS ratios of digesters fed with disintegrated sludge decreased indicating that disintegration methods could obviously enhance aerobic digestion performance. The highest reduction in volatile solids was 75% in the digester fed with ultrasound+potassium permanganate disintegrated sludge at the end of the operation compared to digester fed with raw sludge. Total Nitrogen (TN) and Total Phosphorus (TP) levels in sludge supernatant increased with this combined method significantly. Besides, it promoted the production of ${\bullet}OH$, thus enhancing the release of Carbon (C), Nitrogen (N) and Phosphorus (P) from the sludge. Disintegration with all methods used in this study could not improve Capillary Suction Time (CST) reduction in disintegrated digesters during the operation. The results demonstrated that the combined ultrasound treatment and potassium permanganate oxidation method improves the biodegradability compared to control reactor or their single application.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of irradiation on the microvascular structure of the submandibular gland in rats. For this study, 110 male rats were singly irradiated with the dose of 10Gy or 20Gy to their neck region by 6MV X-irradiation and sacrificed on the 1st, 3rd, 7th, 14th and 28th day after irradiation. The author observed distribution and structural changes of the microvasculature in rat submandibular glands using a scanning electron microscope by forming vascular resin casting. The author observed ultrastructural changes of the endothelial cells using a transmission electron microscope, and also histologic changes using a light microscope at Hematoxylin and Eosin staining and PAS staining process. The results of the irradiation effects on the microvasculature in rat submandibular gland were as follows: By light microscopic examination, the dilation of small vessels were observed until the 7th day after irradiation. After then, the vascular constriction and decrease in number of small vessels were noticed. Changes were greater on 20Gy irradiated group than on lOGy irradiated group. The reaction to PAS staining at acinar cells was decreased just after irradiation, but gradually recovered with days. There was no specific difference between two irradiated groups. By scanning electron microscopic examination, general findings on the two irradiated groups were similar. The dilation of conduits and meandering were observed on the 3rd day after irradiation. Decrease of capillary density and blunt ended small vessels were appeared on the 7th day after irradiation. After that, findings of the tortuous and twisted vascular running and coarseness of capillary lumen were increased. Changes were greater on 20Gy irradiated group than on l0Gy irradiated group. By transmission electron microscopic examination, increase of the formation of cytoplasmic process was observed on the 3rd day after irradiation. After that, swelling of endothelial cell and bridge formation of cytoplasmic processes were also observed, but destruction of endothelial cell and loss of basement membrane were observed only on 20Gy irradiated group on the 28th day after irradiation.

A sensitive membrane strip assay for plasma lipoprotein cholesterol that can be performed without handling reagents has been investigated. We previously developed an assay system with immobilized enzymes (cholesterol esterase and cholesterol oxidase) on the surfaces of nitrocellulose membrane(1). In such a case, the amount of enzymes present on the membrane was limited by its surface area and, thus, the detection capability was relatively poor (> 50 mg/dL cholesterol). To overcome this problem, we devised a new system with non-immobilized enzymes by placing them within interstitial spaces of a celullose membrane pad in a dry state. Upon contact with sample medium, the enzymes were immediately dissolved and participated in the reactions with cholesterol in a liquid phase. We constructed a user-friendly system consisting of four membrane pads fro sample application, cholesterol decomposition, color development as signal, and medium absorption to invoke a continuous flow (sequential location from the bottom). A sample containing lipoproteins was added into the application pad by capillary action and transferred to the next pad for decomposition. The decomposition pad (namely, enzyme pad) contained a detergent (sodium cholate) for the destruction of lipoprotein particles, the two enzymes for cholesterol decomposition, and a chromogen (3,3'-diaminobenzidine). As a consequence of the enzyme reactions, hydrogen peroxide was produced, and then reacted in the presence of the chromogen with horseradish peroxidase immobilized on the signal generation pad. Finally, a colorimetric signal directly proportional to the cholesterol concentration was produced. The detection limit determined from this system under optimal conditions was at least 2 times lower than of the enzyme-immobilized system.
