The toxicity test of ammonium persulfate was conducted to ensure of its potential toxic effects according to the single-dose acute oral toxicity study (OECD Guideline 423) and 90-day repeated dose sub-chronic oral toxicity study guideline (OECD Guideline 408) for establishing national chemical management system, and matching in the Globally Harmonized Classification System (GHS) category. In acute oral toxicity study, pasty stool, perineal contamination and temporary body weight decrease were observed after dosing 1st and 2nd challenge (300 ㎎/㎏ body weight). All test animals were dead within 6 hours after dosing at 3rd challenge (2000 ㎎/㎏ body weight). Therefore, the GHS class of test substance is considered class 4. In sub-chronic toxicity study, body weight changes, food consumptions, hematological, biochemical and pathological examination did not show any noticeable and significant differences between the administered (5, 20, 80 ㎎/㎏ body weight) and control (vehicle only) group animals. Based on these results, the no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) is considered above 80 mg/kg body weight.

In this paper, a new system requirement management tool and its application on the Urban Transit Maglev Project were introduced. In most R&D projects on complexity system such as transportation system, Systems Engineering(SE) activities are included on each project, and SE teams are using commercial computer-based tools to perform the SE activities. Even though SE tools help to manage huge data and documents on engineering efficiently, but well-designed functions of SE tools which support SE activities are not sufficiently used on the whole process of system engineering. In order to computer-based SE tools are to be effectively used on project management, most engineers who takes engineering and coordination roles, at least sub-project managers should be familiar to the tool and could be easily use it, but usability of commercial SE tools are very difficult for normal engineers with no experience on SE activities and SE tools. To overcome this difficulty, we developed a new system requirement management tool considering each user's scenario on using engineering tools. The developed tool could not cover whole SE processes, but designed to perform requirement engineering such as system requirements(SRs) management, specification management, traceability management, SRs' verification activity management and so on. All the entities on SR database are inter-connected by pre-recognized traceabilities, so even non-specialists on SE can easily browse the database and find entities concern, and linked information such as interacted entities, legal or engineering constraints, coordination documents, status of development and verification and so on. Also functions for SR verification tools, TPM(Technical Performance Measure) tools, DB searching tools with traceability, and report generation tools are included on the system.

Cavernous Hemangioma of the Abducens Nerve: Clinical Implication of Duplicated Variants: Case Report

Moon, Kyung-Sub,Jung, Shin,Lee, Kyung-Hwa,Lee, Min-Cheol Oxford University Press 2011 Neurosurgery Vol.69 No.3

<B>Abstract</B><B>BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE:</B><P>A cavernous hemangioma arising from the abducens nerve has not been previously reported in the literature. Based on the surgical experience with this case, the authors discuss the clinical importance and resectability potential of a duplicated abducens nerve.</P><B>CLINICAL PRESENTATION:</B><P>A 54-year-old woman presented with a recurrence of diplopia that had occurred 3 years before this admission and had spontaneously resolved without any specific treatment. On admission, there were no specific neurological deficits. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a cone-shaped mass on the right anterior cerebellopontine angle with hemorrhagic change. Surgical resection via a standard right lateral suboccipital approach was performed. A cystic mass was found emerging from the entry zone of the Dorello canal and encircling the larger branch of the duplicate abducens nerve. Because there was no demarcation between the mass and origin branch, both were removed en bloc. Pathology revealed the presence of a cavernous hemangioma mixed with nerve tissue. Despite preserving a small branch of the duplicate abducens nerve, the patient had permanent right abducens palsy.</P><B>CONCLUSION:</B><P>A cavernous hemangioma arising from the abducens nerve should be suspected as a possible diagnosis for a cystic mass on the anterior cerebellopontine angle. Although duplication of the abducens nerve has not been clearly confirmed on clinical grounds, sacrificing the larger branch during surgery may lead to permanent abducens palsy, as in our case.</P>

Cystic vestibular schwannomas: a possible role of matrix metalloproteinase-2 in cyst development and unfavorable surgical outcome

Moon, Kyung-Sub,Jung, Shin,Seo, Seung-Kwon,Jung, Tae-Young,Kim, In-Young,Ryu, Hyang-Hwa,Jin, Yong-Hao,Jin, Shu-Guang,Jeong, Young-Il,Kim, Kyung-Keun,Kang, Sam-Suk Journal of Neurosurgery Publishing Group 2007 Journal of Neurosurgery Vol.106 No.5

<B>Object</B><P>The authors evaluated the clinical manifestations and surgical results in patients with cystic vestibular schwannoma (VS), and investigated the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) expression of the cyst fluid and wall in an attempt to elucidate the pathogenesis and characteristics of this disease.</P><B>Methods</B><P>The clinical and neuroimaging features, perioperative findings, and surgical outcomes in 24 cases of cystic VS and 82 cases of solid VS, all of which were treated using the suboccipital approach, were retrospectively compared. To evaluate the role of MMP in cystic VS, gelatin zymography and immunohistochemical studies of the cyst fluid, wall, and solid portion were performed in nine cases of this disease.</P><P>The mean duration of symptoms was shorter (14.0 months compared with 26.1 months; p = 0.04) and the mean size of the tumor was larger (43.8 mm compared with 34.2 mm; p = 0.048) in the cystic than the solid VS group. Although gross-total resection was easier to accomplish in this group (100% compared with 84.1%), adhesion to the facial nerve was more frequent (62.5% compared with 48.8%; p = 0.042). On gelatin zymography studies, MMP-2 expression was ubiquitously observed in all cyst fluids. Immunohistochemical analysis of the cyst wall showed that MMP-2 was apparently localized to the tumor cells on the luminal inner surface, adjacent to the cyst cavity.</P><B>Conclusions</B><P>Resection of cystic VS is complicated by severe adhesion of the tumor capsule to the facial nerve and the large size of the lesion. The authors believe that MMP-2 may be involved in the pathogenesis of cyst formation or in its enlargement and may aggravate adhesion to the facial nerve, either by promoting the enlargement of the tumor or engendering the degradation of the tumor-nerve barrier proteolytically.</P>

Benign osteoblastoma of the occipital bone: Case report and literature review

Moon, Kyung-Sub,Jung, Shin,Lee, Jae-Hyuk,Jung, Tae-Young,Kim, In-Young,Kim, Soo-Han,Kang, Sam-Suk BLACKWELL SCIENCE ASIA 2006 NEUROPATHOLOGY Vol.26 No.2

<P>We present a case of benign osteoblastoma of the occipital bone. Benign osteoblastoma is an uncommon primary bone tumor, which usually involves the vertebrae and the long bones. This tumor rarely develops in the calvaria, showing a preference for the temporal and frontal bones when it does. To the best of our knowledge, this case is only the eighth reported case of benign osteoblastoma confined to the occipital bone. A 20-year-old male presented with a mild tender mass lesion of the occipital area, just below the lambda. Plain X-ray films and CT scans demonstrated an osteolytic mass surrounded by the sclerotic rim within the diploic space. MRI proved to be effective for the evaluation of the intracranial and intraosseous extensions of the tumor. However, it was very difficult to formulate a differential diagnosis against other osteoblastic tumors, or osteoid osteoma, in view of its radiological appearance. The final diagnosis was obtained by careful consideration of the histopathological characteristics of the tumor combined with its clinical and radiological features. Although generally regarded as benign, a complete resection is preferred over conventional curettage as this can guard against possible recurrence and malignant transformation.</P>

Background Craniofacial resection (CFR) has been regarded as a standard treatment for various tumors involving the anterior skull base. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the results of CFR for the patients with anterior skull base malignancies in our hospital. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 17 patients with anterior skull base malignancies treated with CFR between 2001 and 2012. Mean follow-up duration was 41 months (range, 2-103 months). Results Intracranial involvement was found in 11 patients (65%) and orbital extension in 6 patients (35%). Classical bifrontal craniotomy was combined with endoscopic endonasal approach in 14 patients and external approach in 3 patients. Vascularized flap was used for reconstruction of the anterior fossa floor in 16 patients (94%). The most common pathological type was squamous cell carcinoma (6 patients). Gross total resection was achieved in all cases. Postoperative complications developed in 4 patients (24%) and included local wound problem and brain abscess. One patient with liver cirrhosis died from unexpected varix bleeding after the operation. Although postoperative treatment, such as radiotherapy or chemotherapy, was performed in 14 patients, local recurrence was seen in 6 patients. The mean overall survival time after the operation was 69.0 months (95% confidence interval: 47.5-90.5 months) with a 1-, 2-, and 5-year survival rate of 82.3%, 76.5%, and 64.7%, respectively. Postoperative radiotherapy was found to be the powerful prognostic factor for favorable survival. Conclusion Considering the higher local control rate and acceptable complication or mortality rate, CFR with adjuvant radiotherapy is a gold standard treatment option for malignant tumors involving anterior skull base, especially with extensive intracranial involvement.

Chang-sub Moon,Kyung-whan Yoon,Tae-kyun Hong,Byung-soo Han,Sung chul Moon,Young-ho Kim,Li-Wei,Dong Woon Lee 한국응용곤충학회 2011 한국응용곤충학회 학술대회논문집 Vol.2011 No.10

The nematicidal activity of Phellodendron amurense rhizome-derived materials (methanol extract) toward Meloidogyne Spp. second-stage juveniles (J2) and these effects on Cucumis sativus and Cucumis melo. Results were compared with these of fosthiazate. J2 was examined using 24-well plate tests, pot bioassays (C. sativa and C. melo) and Field trials (C. melo). In 24-well plate test with J2, methanol extract of P. amurense exhibited 98.7% and 69.8% mortality at 0.25 and 0.125 mg/ml toward J2, respectively, whereas Fosthiazate showed 100% mortality at 1 mg/ml. In pot bioassays with J2, P. amurense rhizome methanol extract gave 79.5% and 57.4% mortality at 2ℓ/m2(1,000x) and 2ℓ/m2(2,000x)/3kg soil from C. sativa and 73.7% and 53.3% mortality at 2ℓ/m2(1,000x) and 2ℓ/m2(2,000x)/3kg soil from C. melo, respectively. In Field test at C. melo in greenhouse showed 55.1% and 26.9% mortality at 2ℓ/m2(1,000x) and 2ℓ/m2(2,000x) applied soil. P. amurense rhizome-derived materials, merit further study as potential root-knot nematode control agents because of their nematicidal activity.
