목적： 초상자성 nano-particle 조영제의 자기이완효과에 관한 out sphere 기전에 기초하여 각각의 자기장의 세기에서 T1/T2 자기이완율을 나타내는 NMRD profile을 수치적으로 simulation 하는 프로그램을 개발하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법： 초상자성 nano-particle 조영제의 경우 초상자성 물질을 생체적합성 고분자로 표면 coating하기 때문에 상자성 조영제와는 달리 전적으로 "out sphere"기여도만을 고려하였고 또한 초상자성 물질의 경우 자기적 에너지의 크기가 매우 크기 때문에 상자성 조영제의 기전에서 사용되는 "low field"근사를 사용할 수 없으므로 Brillouin 함수로 표현되는 총자화에 대한 표현을 적용하였다. nano-particle내에 포함된 Fe 원자수에 따른 T1 및 T2 NMRD Profile과 온도에 따른 T1 및 T2 NMRD Profile 그리고 초상자성 nano-particle size에 따른 T1 및 T2 NMR Profile을 PC (CPU=800 Mhz, memory=128 MB) 환경하에서 symbolic computation tool 인 MathCad (MathCad, USA)를 사용하여 구현하였다.

The magnetic states of nonstoichiometric substituted ferrite Fe$_{}1.429$(Al$_{4-x}$ Ga$_{x}$)$_{0.286}$ Si$_{0.143}$ /O$_4$ system have been investigated using Mossbauer spectroscopy and SQUID. The Mossbauer spectra at room temperature show well-defined two Zeeman patterns for x=0.2, superpositions of two Zeeman patterns and a doublet for x=0.4. The doublet peak seems to be originated from the superparamagnetic clusters. The system shows significant departures from the Neel's collinear model and seems to be the diluted ferrites. The Mossbauer spectra below R.T show various and complicated patterns, which can be explained by freezing of the superparamagnetic clusters. On cooling, magnetic states of the system may be various and multicritical, Resulting from SQUID measurements, there was an unexpected dip in magnetization curves below 50K. It was interpreted as an effect of spin canting including spin freezing or collective spin behavior.

Magnetic nanocomposites contained iron oxide were synthesized by through cross-linking polymerization of dimethylacetamide (DMAc) solution and toluen solution on the amphiphilic polymer networks based on urethan acrylate nonionomer (UAN) precursor chains. For the study on microscopic structures and magnetic properties of the magnetic nanoparticles, FESEM and XRD and Mossbauer spectroscopy were used. The results investigated show that there are magnetic nanoparticles of $Fe_2O_3$ in samples and the magnetic nanocomposites contained iron oxide in polymer networks of UAN using DMAc solution are more smaller than using toluen solution. All of the Fe ions in the samples present $Fe^{3+}$ and the magnetic property of samples are paramagnetic by superparamagnetic effect at room temperature.

The crystal structure and magnetic properties of magnetic oxide system (F $e_2$ $O_3$)$_{5}$(A $l_2$ $O_3$)$_{4-x}$(G $a_2$ $O_3$)$_{x}$)SiO has been studied using X-ray diffraction and Mossbauer spectroscopy The changes of magnetic structure by the Ga ion substitution and the temperature variation have been investigated using Mossbauer spectroscopy, and the results are compared with those of the SQUIB measurements. Results of X-ray diffraction indicated that the crystal structures of the system change from a cubic spinel type to an orthorhombic via the intermediate region. This magnetic oxide system seems to be new kind of spinel type ferrites containing high concentration of cation vacancies. Various and complicated Mossbauer spectra were observed in the samples (x>0.2) at temperatures lower than room temperature. This result could be explained by freezing of the superparamagnetic dusters. On cooling and substitution, magnetic states of the system show various and multicritical properties. Unexpected dip in magnetization curves below 50K was observed in SQUID measurements. It was interpreted as an effect of spin canting including spin freezing or collective spin behavior.ior.r.

In this study, the Mossbauer effect of the $NiAl_0.8Fe_1.2O_4$ was investigated in the temperature range of 77K-1000K. The spectra were composed of two component, one is sixtet and the other doublet, at low temperature. From the temperature dependence of Mossbauer spectum, it is appeared that the magnetic properties of $NiAl_0.8Fe_1.2O_4$ varies from ferrimagnetism to paramagnetism as the increasing tempereture. And the magnetic relaxation patterns of the $NiAl_0.8Fe_1.2O_4$ were shown superparamagnetic effect.

Purpose : To evaluate value of superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) as a negative oral contrast agent in MR cholangiopancreatography (MRCP). Materials and methods : Forty-eight patients with suspected biliary tract or pancreatic diseases and six healthy volunteers were enrolled in this study. All MR images were obtained using a 1.5 T MR unit. MR-CP using fat-suppressed half-Fourier acquisition single-shot turbo spin echo (HASTE) and turbo spin echo (TSE) techniques were performed and reconstructed with maximal intensity projection (MIP). To determine the most optimal concentration of SPIO to obliterate the high signal intensity of water, a phantom experiment was conducted with various concentrations of SPIO-water mixture. Two radiologists evaluated pre- and postcontrast MRCPS. The contrast enhancement was assessed on the basis of loss of signal intensity in the stomach and duodenum. Results : In the phantom experiment, a significant increase of percentage of signal intensity loss (PSIL) occurred in concentration of 22.4 ugFe/ml (Feridex1 ml diluted with water 500 ml). Postcontrast MRCP showed an improved image quality compared with precontrast images. The rate of improvement in the diagnosis of diseases of the common bile duct and pancreatic duct was 25% (12/48). Conclusion : In patients with suspected biliary tract and pancreatic diseases, the SPIO is useful as a negative oral contrast agent for MRCP and provides an improvement of image quality.

This research was performed to evaluate the superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles'(SPIONs) cell toxicity and to measure the radiation cell survival curve changes of SPIONs-uptake glioblastoma multiforme cells. The results could be practically used as the fundamental data to ameliorate proton beam cancer therapy, for example, providing necessary GBM treatment dose in the proton beam therapy when the therapy takes advantage of SPIONs. The assessment of the toxicological evaluation of synthesized SPIONs was accomplished by MTT assay as an in vitro experiment. The results showed no meaningful differences in the cell survival rate at the $1-100{\mu}g/ml$ SPIONs concentrations, but the cell toxicity was shown as the cell survival rate decreased up to 74.2% at the $200{\mu}g/ml$ SPIONs concentration. Then, we measured each radiation cell survival curve for U373MG cells and SPIONs-uptake U373MG cells with 0~5 Gy of proton beam irradiations. It is learned from the analysis of the experimental results that the SPION-uptake cells' radiation survival rate was more rapidly decreased as the irradiation dose increased. In conclusion we confirmed that SPIONs-uptake in U373MG cells induces cell death at the much less dose than the lethal dose of SPION-non-uptake cell. This research shows that the therapeutic efficacy of glioblastoma multiforme treatment in proton beam therapy can be improved by SPIONs targeting to the GBM cells.

Biomineralization has been explored for geochemical cycles and microbial tolerance mechanisms to metal toxicity. Here, we are introducing NanoFermentation which enables economic, environmentally friendly, requiring low input energy, and scalable manufacturing of nano-dimensioned magnetite. We are also focusing on controlling factors of crystallite size which can determine superparamagnetism and ferrimagnetism. Controlling factors are such as microbial species, temperature, incubation time, medium composition, substituted elements and their concentration, precursor type, reaction volume, precursor concentration density and their combinations. Crystallite size distribution of biomagnetite depends on the balance between nuclei generation and crystal growth. Biomineralization will elucidate elemental cycles on earth crust and microbial ecology as well as it will be applied to material sciences and devices via massive production of nanomaterials.

To improve the social and economic position of the disabled people and secure their human rights, an integrated society should be buill. To build such a society, an adequate access should be provided to the movement or in using buildings or facilities. The inconveniences from social life on the part of the disabled people might not result from their impairment or disability, but from physical and social barriers in the environment surrounding them. Therefore, it is necessary to reconstruct entire systems of the society as a disabled people-friendly structure in order to remove those barriers, make them stand their own feet in our communities and freely participate in the social activities. This will eventually lead to build a society in which all people including the disabled people can use those facilities in a more convenient way. It is almost impossible for the disabled people to safely and conveniently access to and use facilities and equipments and freely move to their desired places, without any help from others in Korea. Even though, there are currently many disabled people-related convenience facilities, they have been independently built without a connection with other facilities and buildings, thus not greatly useful. Even when convenience facilities have been built, mostly they are superficially set up; therefore, in many cases, the disabled peOple cannot use those facilities. In this. research, I tried a new concept of mobile wheelchair lift design, which the disabled people can operate without restrictions, when using the public facilities. The key to this research was to develop the existing import-oriented simple functional products to a new system with functional safety and high quality orientation. Also, this research aimed at bringing an. import substitution effect, as well as preempting the mobile wheelchair lift market by advancing into overseas markets through application of new image designs in the field of disabled people aid equipments.
