늘어나는 CT 조영제 주입 검사만큼이나 환자의 심리적 불안감은 물론 검사자인 방사선사 또한 조영제 부작용과 혈관 외 유출에 대한 불안감이 커지고 있는 것이 현실이다. 본 연구는 조영증강 CT 검사 시에 무선신호기를 사용하여 조영제 사용에 대한 환자와 방사선사의 불안감과 두려움 등의 심리적 불안해소에 얼마나 도움이 되는지 알아보고자 CT 검사 후에 무선신호기에 대한 환자와 방사선사의 만족도조사를 설문을 통해 실시하였다. 또한 무선신호기를 사용함으로써 CT 검사 시 발생할 수 있는 조영제 부작용에 대한 방사선사의 신속한 대처와 혈관 외 유출 예방에 도움이 되고자 한다. 실험대상은 2017년 8월~11월 4개월간 전남에 소재한 C대학병원을 방문하여 CT를 시행한 20세 이상의 환자를 대상으로 하였고, CT 검사 시행 후 연구에 동의하는 환자 90명을 설문조사하였다. 그 중 남자 57, 여자 33명이다. 방사선사는 CT실에서 근무하며 무선신호기를 사용한 경험이 있는 15명을 대상으로 설문조사하였다. 무선신호기를 사용 전 환자 만족도는 $6.01{\pm}0.88$, 사용 후 환자 만족도는 $8.20{\pm}1.06$으로 사용 전보다 만족도가 높아진 것을 알 수 있었다. 사용 후 방사선사 만족도는 $8.46{\pm}1.06$으로 환자만족도 평균과 큰 차이를 보이지 않았고, 두군 모두 만족도가 8점 이상으로 높게 나타났다. 무선신호기 사용에 따른 심리적 안정 기여도는 과거 부작용 유경험자에서 $8.98{\pm}0.65$, 무경험자 $8.00{\pm}1.21$로 나타났다. 결론적으로 무선신호기의 호출로 방사선사의 신속한 대처를 하는데 도움을 주고 환자와 방사선사에게도 불안감으로부터 심리적 안정을 주어 검사만족도 향상에 도움을 줄 수 있다고 사료된다.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of intravenous contrast on dose calculation in radiation treatment planning for oesophageal cancer. Methods: A total of 22 intravein-contrasted patients with oesophageal cancer were included. The Hounsfield unit (HU) value of the enhanced blood stream in thoracic great vessels and heart was overridden with 45 HU to simulate the non-contrast CT image, and 145 HU, 245 HU, 345 HU, and 445 HU to model the different contrast-enhanced scenarios. 1000 HU and -1000 HU were used to evaluate two non-physiologic extreme scenarios. Variation in dose distribution of the different scenarios was calculated to quantify the effect of contrast enhancement. Results: In the contrast-enhanced scenarios, the mean variation in dose for planning target volume (PTV) was less than 1.0%, and those for the total lung and spinal cord were less than 0.5%. When the HU value of the blood stream exceeded 245 the average variation exceeded 1.0% for the heart V40. In the non-physiologic extreme scenarios, the dose variation of PTV was less than 1.0%, while the dose calculations of the organs at risk were greater than 2.0%. Conclusions: The use of contrast agent does not significantly influence dose calculation of PTV, lung and spinal cord. However, it does have influence on dose accuracy for heart.

Bast fibers of paper mulberry ( Broussonetia Kazinoki Sieb) were cooked with a weak alkaline salt, potassium carbonate which has been known as a major inorganic component of the traditional lye, and its cooking characteristics were investigated . The bast fiber was easily cooked by potassium carbonate. The pulp yield was rapidly decreased up to 20-30 mol of potassium carbonate, but the Kappa number was slowly decreased with increasing of potassium carbonate. The potassium carbonate pulps were easily defibered at low cooking chemical charge of 25mm on and high pulp yield of about 80%. These results were confirmed that pectin was easily removed during the potassium carbonate cooking. In contrast, when sodium carbonate was used as a cooling agent, the bast fiber was only partially defibered. Thus, sodium carbonate was a less effective cooling chemical of the bast fiber. The results of this experiment indicated that potassium carbonate could not only be used as a good cooling agent of bast fiber, but also as an alternative agent of sodium hydroxide.

Biostabilities of the iron oxide MRI contrast agent were evaluated using the cytotoxicity test and the animal test. Six experimental groups (35, 17, 5, 3.4, 1.7, 0.9 mg of iron oxide/10ml) and a control group were prepared for the cytotoxicity test. The cell count of higher concentration than 5 mg/10m1 become decrease significantly after 4-days incubation. Iron oxide was injected into the right vein of the two fully grown rabbits with the concentration of 0.5 or 0.9mg/kg of body weight respectively. Blood samples were collected and analyzed in turn after 30min, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 30, 60, 90days injection. The body temperature and weight of rabbits were measured simultaneously. The result of blood and serum analyses and the body temperature shows that there was no significant variation with respect to the sampling term and the dosage within this experimental conditions.

The synthesis of a DO3A conjugate of [(p-aniline benzothiazole)methyl]pyridine ($L^2H_3$) and its gadolinium complex of the type [$Gd(L^2)(H_2O)$] ($GdL^2$) is described. The $R_1$ relaxivity ($=4.50mM^{-1}sec^{-1}$) and kinetic inertness of $GdL^2$ compares well with those of structurally analogous Dotarem$^{(R)}$ ($R_1=3.70mM^{-1}sec^{-1}$), a typical extracellular (ECF) MRI contrast agent (CA). Yet, by comparison with Dotarem$^{(R)}$, $GdL^2$ exhibits non-covalent interactions with human serum albumin (HSA) as evidenced by the ${\varepsilon}^*$ titration curve along with in vivo MR signal enhancement in both aorta and heart. Liver-specific nature of $GdL^2$ is also observed as excretion is made through gallbladder. Most notably, $GdL^2$ further demonstrates specificity toward the MDA-MB-231 breast cancer.

Magnetic nanoparticles were synthesized by using the sonochemical method with oleic acid as a surfactant. The average size of the magnetite nanoparticles was controlled by varying the ratio R=[$H_2O$]/[surfactant] in the range of 2 to 9 nm. To prepare chitosan-coated magnetite nanoparticles, chitosan solution was added to a magnetite colloid suspension under ultrasonication at room temperature for 20 min. The chitosan-coated magnetite nanoparticles were characterized by several techniques. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used to image the chitosan-coated nanoparticles. Magnetic hysteresis measurement was performed by using a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometer to investigate the magnetic properties of the magnetite nanoparticles and the chitosan-coated magnetite nanoparticles. The SQUID measurements revealed the superparamagnetism of both nanoparticles. The T1- and T2-weighted MR images of these chitosan-coated magnetite colloidal suspensions were obtained with a 4.7 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system. The chitosancoated magnetite colloidal suspensions exhibited enhanced MRI contrasts in vitro.
