  • Purpose : Among quality control items, the radiochemical impurity must be below 10% of total radioactivity. In this regard, as the recently commercialized automatic synthesis module produces a large amount of 18F-FDG, radiolysis of radiopharmaceuticals is very likely to occur. Thus, this study compared the changes in radiochemical purity regarding radiolysis of $^{18}F$-FDG according to automatic synthesis module. Materials and methods : Cyclotron (PETtrace, GE Healthcare) was used to produce $^{18}F$ and automatic synthesis module (FASTlab, Tracerlab MX, GE Healthcare) was used to achieve synthesis into FDG. For radiochemical purity, Radio-TLC Scanner (AR 2000, Bioscan), GC (Gas Chromatograph, Agilent 7890A) was used to measure the content of ethanol included in $^{18}F$-FDG. Glass board applied with silica gel ($1{\times}10cm$) was used for stationary phase while a mixed liquid formed of acetonitrile and water (ratio 19:1) was used for mobile phase. High-concentration and low-concentration $^{18}F$-FDG were produced in each synthesis module and the radiochemical purity was measured every 2 hours. Results : The purity in low-concentration (below 2.59 GBq/mL) was measured as 99.26%, 98.69%, 98.25%, 98.09% in Tracerlab MX and as 99.09%, 97.83%, 96.89%, 96.62% in FASTlab according to 0, 2, 4, 6 hours changes, respectively. The purity in high-concentration (above 3.7 GBq/mL) was measured as 99.54%, 96.08%, 93.77%, 92.54% in Tracerlab MX and as 99.53%, 95.65%, 92.39%, 89.82% in FASTlab according to 0, 2, 4, 6 hours changes, respectively. Also, ethanol was not detected in GC of $^{18}F$-FDG produced in FASTlab, while 100~300 ppm ethanol was detected in Tracerlab MX. Conclusion : Whereas the change of radiochemical purity was only 3% in low-concentration $^{18}F$-FDG, the change was rapidly increased to 10% in high-concentration. Also, higher radiolysis were observed in $^{18}F$-FDG produced in FASTlab than Tracerlab MX. This is because ethanol is included in the synthesis stage of Tracerlab MX but not in the synthesis stage of FASTlab. Thus, radiolysis is influenced by radioactivity concentration than the inclusion of ethanol, which is the radioprotector. Therefore, after producing high-concentration $^{18}F$-FDG, the content must be diluted through saline to lower concentration.

  • Mutagen X (MX) exists in our drinking water as the bi-products of chlorine disinfection. Being one of the most potent mutagen, it attracted much attention from many researchers. MX and its analogs are tested and modeled by quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) methods. As a result, factors affecting this class of compounds have been found to be steric and electrostatic effects. We tried to collect all the data available from the literature. The quantitative structure-activity relationship of a set of 29 MX was analyzed using Molecular Field Analysis (MFA) and Receptor Surface Analysis (RSA). The best models gave $q^{2}=0.918,\;r^{2}=0.949$ for MFA and $q^{2}=0.893,\;r^{2}=0.954$ for RSA. The models indicate that an electronegative group at C6 position of the furanone ring increases mutagenicity.

  • The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationships between the occlusal plane angle and craniofacial skeletal pattern in relation to anterior overbite. Methods: Lateral cephalograms of 90 adults with skeletal class III malocclusions were traced and measured to analyze skeletal factors and occlusal plane angles. In terms of anterior overbite, all patients were classified into 3 subgroups of positive overbite, edgebite, and negative overbite groups. All measurements were evaluated statistically by ANOVA and Duncan's Post Hoc, and correlation coefficients were evaluated among measurements. Results: In this study, some skeletal measurements (saddle angle, articular angle, Y axis, AFH, SN-FH, SN-Mn, FH-Mn) showed a significant difference among the 3 groups in relation to overbite changes. Correlation coefficient showed that PFH/AFH, SN-Mn, Mx-Mn, and FH-Mn showed a significant difference with FH-Occ, Mx-Occ, and Mn-Occ. Regression analysis showed that Mx-Mn had a determination coefficient of 0.714, 0.560, and 0.677 in relation to FH-Occ, Mx-Occ, and Mn-Occ, respectively. Conclusion: This study suggests that consideration of the occlusal plane in relation to the maxillomandibular vertical skeletal state enable the establishment of a more predictable orthognathic surgery result.

  • Twenty strains of penicillin(PC)-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ($MIC{\geqq}32U/ml$) were chosen randomly from recent isolates and submitted to the present experiment to see what effect the combined antibiotic action of moxalactam(MX) and fosfomycin(FM) would bring about on the cells, using MS-2 system. 1. The conventional agar dilution method and the rapid automatic MS-2 system were used in measuring the MICs of MX and FM against each strain and the comparison of the data obtained revealed no significant difference between the two methods in the titer and distribution of the MICs. 2. The automatic MS-2 system was, therefore, used alone in determining the combined growth inhibitory effect of MX and FM because of its more rapidness, and the obtained results were that most of the PC-resistant strains(16 out of 20, 80%) were synergistically inhibited by the two antibiotic combination while additive effect was observed in the remaining 4 strains(20%). 3. Thus, it is suggested that the growth of PC-resistant staphylococcal cells may be synergistically inhibited by MX and FM combination and the efficiency of two antibiotic action as well as MIC of single antibiotic may be more rapidly determined by the MS-2 system than by the conventional method.

  • Properties of purified isocitrate lyase from Saccharomycopsis lipolytica ATCC 44601 and MX9-11RX8 temperature-sensitive mutant were investigated. Purified isocitrate lyase from temperature-sensitive mutant was indistinguishable from the wild type enzyme with respect to the isoelectric pH(5.3), the thermostability and Km value for threo-Ds-Isocitrate(about 0.2 mM). When isocitrate lyase induced by acetate minimal medium at 33$^{\circ}C$, MX9-11RX8 mutant did not express enzyme activity but did synthesize polypeptide chain whose electrophoretic mobilities were equal to those of the purified enzymes.

  • Three dimensional analysis of malocclusion and craniofacial deformation is essential for the successful orthodontic treatment. But the orthodontists are not familiar with diagnosis and treatment plane based on lateral cephalometric analysis. Since orthodontists do not posses a sufficient knowledge in standard value of posteroanterior cephalometric anaysis and of clinical importance for transverse jaw growth. In this study male(n=130) and female(n=171) aged from 6 to 16 and diagnosed as Class I malocclusion were selected to analysis width of cranium, maxilla and mandible on the posteroanterior cephalogram. The changes as a function of chronologic age and cervical vertebrae maturity index(CVXI) were examined. The Proper regression model was selected by sex with polynominal regression models and method of variable selection. Mean of each measurements and 70% confidence interval of individual measurement according to age was assesed and a graphs were made. Results are as follows :1. All the measurements for the width are gradually incresed as increase in chronologic age and CVMI. From the total amount of change between age 6 and 16, there is a tendency that mandibular width is broader than maxillary width and the width of male is broader than female. 2. There is no statistically significant sexual difference in Mx-Mn difference, Mx-Mn width differential, Mx/Mn ratio according to age and CVMI. 3. Mean of each measurement and 70% confidence interval of individual measurement according to age and sex were assessed and graphs were made for maxillary width, mandibular width, Mx-Mn difference, Mx/Mn ratio. 4. The width of maxilla and mandible in Korean children are broader than Western children during growth period.

  • Objective: The highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) is a threat to the poultry industry as well as the economy and remains a potential source of pandemic infection in humans. Antiviral genes are considered a potential factor for HPAIV resistance. Therefore, in this study, we investigated gene expression related to cytokine-cytokine receptor interactions by comparing resistant and susceptible Ri chicken lines for avian influenza virus infection. Methods: Ri chickens of resistant (Mx/A; BF2/B21) and susceptible (Mx/G; BF2/B13) lines were selected by genotyping the Mx dynamin like GTPase (Mx) and major histocompatibility complex class I antigen BF2 genes. These chickens were then infected with influenza A virus subtype H5N1, and their lung tissues were collected for RNA sequencing. Results: In total, 972 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were observed between resistant and susceptible Ri chickens, according to the gene ontology and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes pathways. In particular, DEGs associated with cytokine-cytokine receptor interactions were most abundant. The expression levels of cytokines (interleukin-1β [IL-1β], IL-6, IL-8, and IL-18), chemokines (C-C Motif chemokine ligand 4 [CCL4] and CCL17), interferons (IFN-γ), and IFN-stimulated genes (Mx1, CCL19, 2'-5'-oligoadenylate synthase-like, and protein kinase R) were higher in H5N1-resistant chickens than in H5N1-susceptible chickens. Conclusion: Resistant chickens show stronger immune responses and antiviral activity (cytokines, chemokines, and IFN-stimulated genes) than those of susceptible chickens against HPAIV infection.

  • Single crystal of Li2Cu1-xMxO4 (M=Ni, Zn) are promising as a substrate to realize superconducting electronic devices. The distribution coefficients of Ni and Zn to the Cu site in La2CuO4 (LCO) were estimated by the zone melting technique to grow high quality single crystals of La2Cu1-xMxO4(M=Ni, Zn). The distribution coefficient value of Ni was estimated to be 4.2 and that of Zn was estimated to be 0.66, respectively. Suitable solvent compositions were determined using these values to grow single crystals by he traveling floating zone (TSFZ) method. Single crystal of LCO, La2Cu1-xMxO4(M=Ni(x=0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04), Zn(x=0.01, 0.02, 0.03) of high homogeneity were grown. The behaviors of the magnetization of these as-grown crystals do not indicate superconductivity except LCO. Ni or Zn substitution can make LCO non superconductor. This fact suggest that single crystals substituted by Ni or Zn are useful as substrate crystals.
