Hwang, Jong Sic,Kim, Hong Gon,Lim, Gio Bin,Curtis, Christine W 한국화학공학회 1995 Korean Journal of Chemical Engineering Vol.12 No.2

The combined catalytic reactions using different types of petroleum residuum and coal were performed at 425℃ and 60 minutes in the presence of hydrogen to upgrade both materials to high quality synthetic fuels. In order to improve this coprocessing technology, the effect of the chemical and physical properties of both materials on the coprocessing product yields was investigated through a parametric study. In all reaction combinations, substantial increase in maltene production and high coal conversions of over 84% were observed regardless of petroleum residuum type and coal rank. The petroleum residuum properties of specific gravity and conradson carbon residue had effects on asphaltene production and coal conversion. The results of quantitative analysis for the amount of coal upgraded during coprocessing lead to conclude that a large amount of coal converted to maltene fraction due to high catalytic activity and reactive hydrogen donor richness of coprocessing system. However, most of the heavier fractions were formed primarily from coal regardless of the type of residuum used.

EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES AND DISCRETE THERMODYNAMIC MODELING ON SUPERCRITICAL CO2 EXTRACTIONS OF A HEXADECANE AND CRUDE OIL

Hwang, Jong Sic,Kim, Choon Ho,Lim, Gio Bin 한국화학공학회 1995 Korean Journal of Chemical Engineering Vol.12 No.2

Continuous multiple-contact experiments using a supercritical CO₂ were performed to study the phase equilibrium behavior of the dynamic extractions of a hexadecane and crude oil. The extraction yields increased as CO₂ density increased with a pressure rise at constant temperature. The rates of extractions were also greater at higher pressure. The simulated distillation analysis of extracted crude oil samples represented that the earlier extracts contained lighter compounds and the latter extracts contained progressively heavier compounds. These compositional changes occurring during a dynamic extraction were also ascertained by phase-equilibrium flash calculations using the equations of state and a pseudo-component lumping method. Two different equations of state, Soave-Redlich-Kwong and Peng-Robinson, were used to predict the equilibrium compositions of the extract phase that is a supercritical carbonic phase. The results of phase behavior calculations established the nature of the extraction and partitioning process as a function of time. These results also provided reasonable agreement between the experimental data and the calculated values.

Background: Mastocytosis represents a group of rare disorders characterized by a neoplastic proliferation of abnormal mast cells in one or more tissues, involving mainly skin, bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract, and liver. Cutaneous mastocytosis is classified according to clinical presentation and is further defined by onset of disease. Objectives: To analyze clinical characteristics of cutaneous mastocytosis in Korean patients. Methods: We performed a retrospective review in 77 patients diagnosed as cutaneous mastocytosis. Patients were evaluated for onset of disease, sex, distribution, associated symptoms and distribution of lesions. Results: There were 16 (20.7%) cases of telangiectasia macularis eruptive perstans cases, 25 (32.5%) cases of urticaria pigmentosa, 22 (28.6%) cases of mastocytoma, and 14 (18.2%) cases of diffuse cutaneous mastocytosis. In 30% of cases disease onset was in the first year of life. There was a male predominance 2.1 : 1. The most common presentation was involvement of trunk together with both extremities. Conclusion: The most frequent clinical form of mastocytosis was urticarial pigmentosa followed by mastocytoma, telangiectasia macularis eruptiva perstans and diffuse cutaneous mastocytosis. Cutaneous mastocytosis is a benign disease in children without systemic involvement.

( Jong Sic Kim ),( Se Won Hwang ),( Kwang Hyun Choi ),( Miri Kim ),( Jung Min Bae ),( Hyun Jeong Park ) 대한피부과학회 2016 대한피부과학회 학술발표대회집 Vol.68 No.2

Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is chronic disease of the gastrointestinal tract attributed to aberrant activity of the immune system. Increasing evidence suggests that IBD patients are at an increased risk of inflammatory skin diseases (ISDs). Objectives: We sought to clarify the association between IBD and ISDs using a nationwide health claims database maintained in Korea. Methods: We interrogated Korean health claim database data from 2009 to 2013. We enrolled all patients with IBD, and age- and sex-matched controls, and evaluated the risks of ISDs, including psoriasis, rosacea, and atopic dermatitis, and the risks of autoimmune skin diseases (ASDs), including vitiligo and alopecia areata. We used multivariable logistic regression to this end. Results: ISDs including rosacea, psoriasis, and atopic dermatitis were significantly associated with IBD, whereas the associations between IBD and ASDs including vitiligo and alopecia areata were less marked or non-existent. Ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease were both associated with ISDs. Conclusion: IBD was significantly associated with ISDs, but less so or not at all with ASDs.

Ingenol mebutate: A possible treatment option for superficial basal cell carcinoma as neoadjuvant therapy?

( Jong Sic Kim ),( Ji Won Yun ),( Sewon Hwang ),( Yuri Woo ),( Miri Kim ),( Hyun Jeong Park ) 대한피부과학회 2016 대한피부과학회 학술발표대회집 Vol.68 No.1

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is usually effectively managed with surgical removal. Ingenol mebutate gel (Picato, Leo Pharma, Inc.) is a new topical drug extracted from the latex sap of a plant Euphorbia peplus approved by Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for field therapy of actinic keratosis in 2012 for its chemoablative and immune-stimulatory properties. We describe a case of a 87-year-old Korean woman presenting with 1.5 x 1.5 cm-sized blackish crusted plaque and erosion on her scalp for a year. Histopathologically, the lesion showed peripherally palisading basaloid tumor cells budding from the epidermis and limited to upper dermis with partial retraction of stroma from the tumor nest. The patient was diagnosed as superficial BCC. We applied topical ingenol mebutate gel (Picato®) 0.05% for 2 consecutive days. The patient complained of pain, erythema and erosion on the application site on the second day. After 2 weeks of application, blackish plaque disappeared, but 4 weeks later, two blackish papules reappeared. Biopsy specimen of one of the papules showed remnant tumor cells. We conducted cryotherapy on the remaining lesion. Although ingenol mebutate gel (Picato®) monotherapy is insufficient for complete elimination of superficial BCC, we suggest that application of ingenol mebutate gel (Picato®) combined with other modalities such as punch biopsy and cryotherapy may be a useful treatment option for reducing tumor burden.

Background: Ingenol mebutate is a newly approved topical field therapy for actinic keratosis (AK). However, there is limited evidence demonstrating the rejuvenating effect of ingenol mebutate application in photodamaged skin. Objective: To evaluate the skin rejuvenating effects of ingenol mebutate gel on photodamaged skin. Methods: Nineteen patients with multiple AKs on the face were treated with 0.015 % gel once daily for three consecutive days, and follow-up was 8 weeks after the treatment. Clinical outcomes and histological analysis were performed. Patients were objectively assessed before and after treatment using clinical photographs by independent dermatologists regarding overall appearance, mottled pigmentation, and wrinkle. Skin biopsy was performed on the clinically affected skin before and after treatment for histological evaluation including epidermal thickness, amount of dermal collagen, and solar elastosis. Results: Eight weeks after the last treatment, clinical improvement was observed in all patients. The investigator’s ratings according to a 5-point scale on the overall appearance, mottled pigmentation, and wrinkle showed moderate improvements (2.6+0.9, 2.7+1.0, and 2.2+0.9, respectively). Histologic examination revealed epidermal hyperplasia, increased dermal collagen thickness, and reduced solar elastosis after treatment with ingenol mebutate. Conclusion: Ingenol mebutate gel showed clinical improvement of photodamaged skin associated with AK by histologically increasing dermal collagen, suggesting the possibility of cosmetic use of ingenol mebutate.

Plastic shrinkage cracking occurs at the exposed surfaces of freshly placed concrete due to consolidation of the concrete mass and rapid evaporation of water from the surface. This so-called shrinkage cracking is a major concern for concrete, especially for flat structural such as pavement, slabs for industrial factories and walls. This study has been performed to obtain the plastic shrinkage properties of hydrophilic fiber reinforced mortar and concrete. The results of tests of the hydrophilic fibers were compared with plain and polypropylene fibers. Test results indicated that hydrophilic poly vinylalcohol fiber reinforcement showed an ability to reduce the total crack area and maximum crack width significantly( as compared to plain and polypropylene fiber reinforcement).
