마그네슘 합금을 생체재료로 사용되는데 두가지 중요한 문제점을 가지고 있다. 매우 빠른 부식을 가지고 있으며, 초기 빠른 부식으로 수소기체를 발생하여 인체 내 피부나 골조직의 괴사를 동반한다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 생체적합성이 뛰어난 아노다이징 방법을 개발 하였으며, 새롭게 개선된 방법의 특징을 비교하기 위해 이번 실험에서는 불화물이 포함된 전해액으로 아노다이징 처리한 샘플을 제조하여 형태학 분석을 진행 하였고, Hank's solution(생체모사용액)을 사용하여 부식 특성을 분석하였다. 또한 L929 세포를 이용하여 세포독성 평가를 진행하였다. 새롭게 제조한 방법은 기존의 방법과 비교하였을 때, 부식 성능은 비슷하고 생체적합성이 높아 생분해성 금속의 표면처리에 적합하다고 판단된다.

The intelligent trajectory control method that controls moving direction and average velocity for a prosthetic arm is proposed by pattern recognition and force estimations using EMG signals. Also, we propose the real time trajectory planning method which generates continuous accelleration paths using 3 stage linear filters to minimize the impact to human body induced by arm motions and to reduce the muscle fatigue. We use combination of MLP and fuzzy filter for pattern recognition to estimate the direction of a muscle and Hogan`s method for the force estimation. EMG signals are acquired by using a amputation simulator and 2 dimensional joystick motion. The simulation results of proposed prosthetic arm control system using the EMf signals show that the arm is effectively followed the desired trajectory depended on estimated force and direction of muscle movements.

An analytical method has been developed to determine trace elements in biological samples. The biological samples are added to a laboratory-bulit Teflon bomb together with nitric acid-hydrogen peroxide mixture and enriched stable isotopes. The samples are decomposed in a microwave oven. The decomposed sample solutions are analyzed by isotope dilution inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The analytical results of the biological samples agree well with the reference values.

Several biomimetic artificial muscles including the electro-active synthetic polymers (SSEBS, PSMI/PVDF, SPEEK/PVDF, SPSE, XSPSE, PVA/SPTES and SPEI), bio-polymers (Bacterial Cellulose and Cellulose Acetate) and nano-composite (SSEBS-CNF, SSEBS-$C_{60}$, Nafion-$C_{60}$ and PHF-SPEI) actuators are introduced in this paper. Also, some applications of the developed biomimetic actuators are explained including biomimetic robots and biomedical active devices. Present results show that the developed electro-active polymer actuators with high-performance bending actuation can be promising smart materials applicable to diverse applications.

현재 상용화되고 있는 치과용 76.5% Pd-11.2% Cu-7.2% GarP 합금의 왁스모형을 원심주조기로 주조하여, 임상조건의 탈개스 및 세라믹 소성처리를 하였다. 이에따른 각각의 시편에 대해 미세조직의 변화를 주사전자현미경 및 EDS로 관찰하고, 최종적인 투과전자현미경으로 조사하였다. 각 조건의 편석, 결정립계 및 석출물부위를 주사전자현미경과 EDS 고 관찰한 결과, 이원계 Pd-GA합금의 안정상들에 해당하는 정량적인 조성비는, 단지 상대적으로 Ga의 성분비만 높게 감지되었다. 특히, 세라믹소성 처리후 미세조직에서 형성된 석출물에 근접한 기지조직일수록 Ga의 농도가 상대적으로 줄어든 고갈현상을 확인하엿다. 또한 투과전자현미경의 제한시야회절도형 분석결과, 주조 및 탈개스처리 후 미세조직의 편석부위에서는 GA의 가장 큰 강도를 보였고, 또 Ga과 Pd 고용체 사이에 미세한 판상의 석출물에 기인하는 줄무늬를 관찰하였다. 한편, 세라믹소성처리후 미세조직의 석출물은 금속간화합물 Pd2Ga으로 밝혀졌으며, 기지조직은 <100> 방향을 따라 약 25nm의 폭을 가지는 미세한 섬유상 형태의 소위 "tweed 조직'을 형성하였다.성하였다.

The coronary artery disease (CAD) is rapidly increasing such as angina pectoris and atherosclerosis. The CAD is induce by cholesterol and calcium like plaque absortion to artery wall. The percutaneouss coronary intervention is non-invasive treatment that narrowed-artery is expand by using balloon catheter and bare metallic stent. The metallic stents have been effective in reducing the dead by coronary artery disease, but the permanent presence of the metallic stent has been associated with persistent inflammation, and incidence of late thrombosis. Therefore, development bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BRS) is rapidly increasing for treatment of long-term complications and arterial restenosis by permanentmetal prosthesis such as stent. The review discusses the BRS trend for successfully development.

중금속은 인류가 금속을 이용하기 시작하면서 위험인자로 대두되기 시작하여 산업화 과정과 함께 환경오염을 초래하였고 나아가 식품을 오염시키는 원인물질로 작용함으로써 인간의 건강을 위협하기에 이르렀다. 중금속은 체내에서 분해되기 어렵고 배출이 쉽지 않아 생물체에 축적되면 먹이 연쇄를 따라 농축되므로 먹이사슬의 최종소비자인 사람에게 식품의 중금속 오염은 심각한 문제다. 특히 수은, 납, 카드뮴은 식품 중에서 공통적으로 볼 수 있는 독성물질로 생체조직과 강한 결합을하여 생체 내에 축적되어 천천히 제거되는 유해물질이다. 본문에서는 국내.외의 연구결과를 토대로 식품의 중금속 오염현황, 위해성, 관리방안에 대해 살펴보고자 한다.

The aim of this study is to investigate the terminology of chemically unclear ‘heavy metals' which were expressed in the Korean secondary science textbook in terms of the definition, the type and the meaning. Initial results showed that six of ‘Chemistry I' textbooks among these texts defined a heavy metal with the density and described it as a metal which is hazardous and continuously accumulated in the human body. Specifically, cadmium, lead and mercury were presented as examples of the hazardous metal in all of the eight textbooks but non-metals such as arsenic and absolutely essential metals including chrome, manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel and copper were also given in the texts. Most of the texts described the hazardousness and toxicity of the metal too simple to understand the mechanism of its intoxication despite considering all of the factors including its oxidation state, residual amount and reactivity with biomolecules of the human body. Such an ambiguous definition and explanation may excluded in the textbook because the chemically undefined chemical vocabulary leads students to cause an alternative conception of the heavy metal, which means that the metal could be identical with toxins.

Cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) based on wood pulp fibers are gained much attention as part of biocompatible hydrogels for biomedical applications such as tissue engineering scaffolds, biomedicine, and drug carrier. However, CNF hydrogels have relatively poor mechanical properties, impeding their applications requiring high mechanical integrity. In this work, we prepare 2,2,6,6-tetramethylipiperidin-oxyl (TEMPO) oxidated cellulose nanofibrils hydrogels mediated with metal cations, which form the metal-carboxylate coordination bonds for enhanced mechanical strength and toughness. We conduct the large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) test and Live/dead cell assay for obtaining nonlinear viscoelastic parameters and cell viability, respectively. In particular, the cell proliferation and viability change depending on the type of metal salt, which also affected the rheological properties of the hydrogels.
