  • Venous malformation with phleboliths is uncommon cause of unilateral parotid swelling. The clinical and radiographic appearance of venous malformation with phleboliths may masquerade as sialolithiasis. A 49-year-old female complained about unilateral parotid swelling for 6 years. Preoperative evaluation including computed tomography and sonography showed the suspicion of venous malformation with phleboliths. Superficial parotidectomy was performed. Pathological examination confirmed that the mass was venous malformation with phleboliths combined with sialolith in the parotid gland. We present the case of unilateral parotid swelling caused by a venous malformation combined with sialolithiasis.

  • We investigated the device performance of bulk heterojunction solar cells depending on the active layer thickness. For the systematic comparison, the polymer solar cells comprising RR-P3HT:PCBM (1:0.8 (wt%:wt%)) blend films with different thickness were characterized by impedance spectroscopy, and J-V measurement in dark and solar simulated illumination. The device with 120 nm thickness of active layer exhibited maximum power conversion efficiency of 3.5 % under AM 1.5 100mW/$cm^2$ illumination condition.

  • Objective: To evaluate silane-coated silica particles (Sil-select) as an alternative to polyvinylpyrrolidone-coated particles (Percoll) for gradient separation of spermatozoa, for use in assisted reproduction. Methods: 20 normal semen based on WHO criteria were included in this study. Recovery of motile and morphologically normal spermatozoa after using two-layer Percoll and Sil-select gradient respectively was recorded. Motility, HOST (hypoosmotic swelling test) and the detection of malondialdehyde for LPO (lipid peroxidation) after 24 h of incubation at $37^{\circ}C$ in a 5% $CO_2$ incubator were compared. Results: Percoll (78.5%) and Sil-select (79.1%) showed a significant increase in the motility compared to ejaculate (60.9%) but no difference between Percoll and Sil-select. Normal sperm morphology significantly increased after Percoll (57.6%) and Sil-select (53.7%) compared to ejaculate (35.8%) but no difference between Percoll and Sil-select. No differences in the recovery of motile spermatozoa and motility, HOST and the production of malondialdehyde after 24 h incubation were found when comparing the use of Percoll and Sil-select. Conclusion: Sil-select seems to be an attractive alternative to Percoll for sperm separation in assisted reproduction.

  • Lespedeza cuneata G. Don is a traditional herb that has been associated with multiple biological activities. In this study, we investigated the antioxidative/antiaging activities and performed an active component analysis of the non-fermented and fermented (using Lactobacillus pentosus) extracts of Lespedeza cuneata G. Don. The antioxidative activities of the fermented extract were higher than those of non-fermented extracts. The elastase inhibitory activity, inhibitory effects on UV-induced MMP-1 expression, and ability to promote type I procollagen synthesis were investigated in Hs68 human fibroblasts cells. These tests also revealed that the fermented extract had increased antiaging activities compared with the non-fermented extract. A component analysis of the ethyl acetate fractions of non-fermented and fermented extracts was performed using TLC, HPLC, and LC/ESI-MS/MS to observe changes in the components before and after fermentation. Six components that were different before and after fermentation were investigated. It was thought that kaempferol and quercetin were converted from kaempferol glucosides and quercetin glucosides, respectively, via bioconversion with the fermentation strain. These results indicate that the fermented extract of L. cuneata G. Don has potential for use as a natural cosmetic material with antioxidative and antiaging effects.
