PECVD 방법으로 증착된 a-C : H 박막들이 공기 중에 노출되었을 때 나타나는 ESR 스펙트럼의 변화가 조사되었다. 증착 조건에 따라 차이는 있으나, 대체적으로 공기 중에서 노출된 시간이 늘어남에 따라 ESR 신호높이가 점차로 줄어들고 ESR 신호폭은 점점 더 넓어지는 것이 관찰되었다. 스핀밀도는 샘플에 따라서 40-80% 정도로의 감소를 보였다. 공기 중에 노출된 a-C : H 박막의 스핀밀도의 감소는 공기 중의 수분의 침투와 후속적인 수소 확산 및 재배치에 의한 것으로 간주되었다. 그리고 공기 중에 있던 샘플들을 다시 진공 중에 놓아두면 ESR 신호높이는 다시 증가하고 신호폭은 다시 감소되었는데, 이것은 샘플에서 산소가 다시 빠져나감에 기인하는 것으로 생각되었다. 결과적으로 공기 중에서 a-C : H 박막의 ESR 스펙트럼 변화는 이러한 스핀밀도의 감소 및 산소 침투와 복합적으로 관련되어 있는 것으로 추정되었다.

Background: Chronic low back pain can be a manifestation of lumbar degenerative disease, herniation of intervertebral discs, arthritis, or lumbar stenosis. When nerve roots are compromised, low back pain, with or without lower extremity involvement, may occur. Local inflammatory processes play an important role in patients with acute lumbosciatic pain. The purpose of this study was to assess the value of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) measurements in patients with chronic low back pain or radiculopathy. Methods: ESR and hsCRP were measured in 273 blood samples from male and female subjects with low back pain and/or radiculopathy due to herniated lumbar disc, spinal stenosis, facet syndrome, and other diseases. The hsCRP and ESR were measured prior to lumbar epidural steroid injection. Results: The mean ESR was 18.8 mm/h and mean hsCRP was 1.1 mg/L. ESR had a correlation with age. Conclusions: A significant systemic inflammatory reaction did not appear to arise in patients with chronic low back pain.

Each of twenty blood samples taken from apparently healthy Korean Cows was used to produce five different mixtures of autologous plasma and blood corpuscles such that their values of packed cell volume (PCV) lay between 10 to 50ml/l00ml. The measurements of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) using 45 degree-angled capillary hematocrit tube, 1.1-1.2mm bore, ($45^{\circ}-micro-ESR$) were practised for the blood of various levels of PCV under the ambient temperature of ${10^{\circ}C}$, ${20^{\circ}C}$ and ${30^{\circ}C}$. Correlation of ESR to ambient temperature showed linear regression each in five levels of PCV. ESR increased with ascending ambient temperature, and magnitude of the increase of ESR became greater as the level of PCV lowered. Correlation of ESR, of which values were transformed by the linear regression equation correlated to ambient temperature to PCV showed curvilinear regression each in three levels of ambient temperature, and ESR was increased with decreasing PCV. The data were statistically analysed and a list of relative anticipate $45^{\circ}-micro-ESR$ values for PCV and ambient temperature was presented.

Erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR) measurements were performed in a total of 191 blood samples from patients below a hematocrit of 35% by both the Test-1(SIRE Analytical Systems, Udine, Italy) and the Westergren method, endorsed as the reference method for ESR by the International Council for Standardization in Hematology(ICSH). The corrected Westergren ESR values were also obtained applying the formula of Fabry (corrected ESR = ESR measured x 15/55-Hct). Linear regression analysis showed a close correlation (r=0.85) between the two methods both before and after ESR correction in total samples. There was no significant correlation difference between two methods in both two groups with hemoglobin $${\geq_-}9g/dl$$ and <9g/dl before and after ESR correction (r=0.873, r=0.827 respectively before correction and r=0.867, r=0.830 respectively after correction). Also, for two groups with hematocrit $${\geq_-}24%$$ and <24%, no significant difference was observed (r=0.859, r=0.792 respectively before correction and r=0.782, r=0.842 respectively after correction). However, for samples with <60mm of Westergren ESR before correction, a better correlation coefficient was obtained than samples with $${\geq_-}60mm$$(r=0.701, r=0.541 respectively). In corrected Westergren ESR, also samples that were obtained with <40mm showed better correlation than samples with $${\geq_-}40mm$$ (r=0.690, r=0.347 respectively). In conclusion, we found a good correlation between Test-1 and Westergren measurements in patients with anemia but an expert group discussion is required to solve discrepancy between two methods in blood samples with very high ESR.

ESR spectroscopy를 이용하여 한약재의 방사선 조사여부를 확인하였다. 국내산 한약재 4종으로 칡, 당귀, 아가리쿠스, 황기를 0, 1, 5 및 10 kGy의 Co-60 감마선을 조사한 후, 이를 시료로 Bruker-EPR spectrometer를 이용하여 조사로 생성된 라디칼을 측정하였다. 실험결과 조사직후 감마선 조사된 한약재 4종은 ESR 특성 신호를 나타내어 비조사시료와 확실하게 구별할 수 있었다. 적용선량의 범위에서(1~10 kGy) 조사선량이 증가함에 따라 ESR 신호 크기는 직선적으로 증가하였으며, 선량의 증가에 따른 신호 크기의 증가를 나타낸 $R^2$값은 0.9428~0.9942의 높은 값을 나타내었다. 또, 이들 신호는 상온에서 2주까지는 감소하였으나 저장기간 후에도 관찰할 수 있었으므로 ESR spectroscopy를 이용한 한약재의 방사선 조사여부 판별은 6주간의 저장 후에도 측정 가능한 방법임을 알 수 있었다.

방사선 조사된 완제품 조제분유를 포함한 시료 4종의 ESR 스펙트럼 특성을 측정하였다. 조제분유와 전지분유의 비조사 시료는 g=2.0050의 아주 약한 singlet 형태의 스펙트럼을 나타내었다. 조사 시료에서 전지분유는 g=2.0050의 singlet 형태의 스펙트럼, 조제분유는 전지분유와 같은 중심 피크 옆에 g=2.0006의 작은 피크를 가진 비대칭 형태의 스펙트럼을 나타내었고, 두 시료 모두 비조사 시료와 조사 시료의 신호 세기 차이가 명확하여 조사유무 판별이 가능하였다. 포도당과 유당의 비조사 시료는 아무런 시그널을 나타내지 않았으며, 조사 시료는 이미 알려져 있는 결정형 당 유래의 다형 피크를 가진 스펙트럼을 나타내었다. 선량이 증가함에 따라 신호 세기도 증가하였고, 회귀방정식의 상관계수는 0.95 이상의 높은 값을 나타내었다. 감마선과 전자선 조사에 의한 ESR 스팩트럼 간의 유의성 있는 차이는 없는 것으로 확인되었다. 결론적으로 본 실험을 통하여 ESR 분석은 방사선 조사된 조제분유 및 원료의 판별에 유용한 방법으로 적용될 수 있는 것으로 판단되었으며, 온도, 습도 및 전처리 조건 등의 요인에 의한 변화 가능성과 식품 생산 및 장기유통 기간 등을 고려할 때 이에 대한 지속적인 연구와 자료 축적이 요구된다고 할 것이다.

The study was undertaken to obtain indirect values of volume of packed red cell (VPRC) without centrifugation, using the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) of diluted blood in dogs. ESRs of diluted blood using the diluent of autologous plasma in which formed numerous RBC-rouleau clumps, autologous serum in which formed a few RBC-rouleau clumps, and 5% dextrose or 6% sucrose solutions in which formed numerous RBC-aggregation clumps, were accelerated. But, ESR of diluted blood using the 0.9% saline, D-S, ACD-B, CDP or D-PBS solutions were sluggish, because erythrocytes were dispersed in these diluents. Reliable values of VPRC on the basis of the correlating regressive equation to the ESR could be derived from values of$60^{\circ}$-angled-micro-ESR/40 min in the mixture, four parts of 5% dextrose solution and one part of whole blood. In the ESR values of diluted blood with low ratio, 1:1~3:1, $60^{\circ}$-micro-ESR was higher than $60^{\circ}$-Wintrobe-ESR. But, in the diluted blood with high ratio, 4:1~5:1, there was no different ESR values. For an aid of practical use, authers suggested a list of the $60^{\circ}$-micro-ESR/40 min in the diluted blood with equivalent VPRC of whole blood.

The study was basically carried out to establish the appropriate condition for applying the Westergren method for erythrocyte sedimentation rate(W-ESR) in Throughbred racehorses at recess. To do this, we examined the correlationship among some factors including the kind of anticoagulants, optimal ambient temperature and reading time for W-ESR in healthy racehorses. The difference between the blood samples treated with only 3.8% solution of sodium citrate(SC) and both EDTA and SC as a coagulant, there was not recognized any significant difference(p<0.05) in the levels of W-ESR irrespective of the ambient temperature of $20^{\circ}C$ or $30^{\circ}C$. The best optimal ambient temperature for W-ESR in horses was proved at $30^{\circ}C$ resulting from the tendency of the most reduced dispersion in mean values analyaed from repeatly 4 times to the same blood samles compared with those of $10^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$. The optimal reading time was determined as 60 minutes(Y=237.2~4.1X, $r^2=0.998$) and 70 minutes(Y=247.8~4.2X, $r^2=0.999$) under the same temperature of $30^{\circ}C$; the latter showed the better result on the basis of the correlation of packed cell volume(PCV) and ESR values. About 13 healthy racehorses, we compared the real values of W-ESR respectively obtained at 60 minutes and 70 minutes at $30^{\circ}C$ with the anticipated values of PCV by means of the analysis of linear regression equitation. As the result of this, the strong correlation between both of them was confirmed. For practical use of W-ESR in Thoroughbred racehorese, we can recommend the condition of 60 or 70 minutes for the optimal reading time as well as $30^{\circ}C$ for the best ambient temperature.

Cantilever-detected high-frequency electron spin resonance (ESR) is a powerful method of sub-terahertz and terahertz ESR spectroscopy for a tiny magnetic sample at low temperature. In this technique, a small magnetization change associated with ESR transition is detected as deflection of a sample-mounted cantilever. So far, we have succeeded in ESR detection at 370 GHz using a commercial piezoresistive microcantilever. The spin sensitivity was estimated to ${\sim}10^{12}$ spins/gauss. In order to further increase the sensitivity, we adopt a fiber-optic-based detection system using a Fabry-Perot interferometer in place of piezoresistive system. Fabry-Perot cavity is formed between an optical-fiber end and microcantilever surface, and a change in the interference signal, corresponding to the cantilever deflection, is sensitively detected. This system is suitable for low-temperature and high-magnetic-field experiments because of its compact setup and less heat dissipation. In this study, performance of Fabry-Perot interferometer is evaluated, and its application to cantilever-detected ESR measurement is described.

ESR spectroscopy에 의한 방사선 조사 건조향신료의 조사여부의 정확한 판별에 필요한 기초자료를 얻고자 방사선 조사 유래의 cellulose radical에 대한 parameter를 분석하였다. 건조향신료 분말 4종(고추, 마늘, 양파, 후추)에 대하여 0, 1, 5, 10 kGy의 $^{60}Co$ 감마선을 조사한 후 ESR signal을 분석하였다. 방사선 조사된 4종의 건조향신료는 모두 방사선 조사 유래의 triplet signal인 cellulose radical을 나타내면서 center signal($g_2=2.00673$)은 좌우 3.0455 mT 간격의 특이적인 signal을 보였다. 조사시료에서 나타난 hyperfine triplet signal(cellulose radical)의 g-value, center field 및 저-고자장 signal의 간격은 조사선량이 변화하여도 일정하였으므로 이들 parameter들은 cellulose radical의 고유 특성임을 확인 하였다. 이로써 감마선 조사시료와 비조사 시료 간의 구별이 분명하였다. ESR signal intensity는 조사선량이 증가함에 따라 유의적으로 증가하였다($R^2=0.8452{\sim}0.9854$). 이상의 결과에서 cellulose radical의 parameter 분석은 건조향신료의 ESR 분석에서 조사여부의 판별에 대한 신뢰성을 뒷받침 해 주었다.
