Molecular nuclear cardiac imaging has included Tc-99m Annexin imaging to visualize myocardial apoptosis, but is now usually associated with gene therapy and cell-based therapy. Cardiac gene therapy was not successful so far but cardiac reporter gene imaging was made possible using HSV-TK (herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase) and F-18 FHBG (fluoro-hydroxymethylbutyl guanine) or I-124 FIAU (fluoro-deoxyiodo-arabino-furanosyluracil). Gene delivery was performed by needic injection with or without catheter guidance. Tk expression did not last longer than 2 weeks in myocardium. Cell-based therapy of ischemic heart or failing heart looks promising, but biodistribution and differentiation of transplanted cells are not known. Reporter genes can be transfected to the stem/progenitor cells and cells containing these genes can be transplanted to the recipients using catheter-based purging or injection. Repeated imaging should be available and if promoter are varied to let express reporter transgenes, cellular (trans)differentiation can be studied. NIS (sodium iodide symporter) or D2R receptor genes are promising in this aspect.

A kinetic study is reported on SNAr reaction of 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene with a series of primary amines including hydrazine in $H_2O$ at $25.0^{\circ}C$. The plots of $k_{obsd}$ vs. [amine] are linear and pass through the origin, indicating that general-base catalysis by a second amine molecule is absent. The Br${\o}$nsted-type plot exhibits an excellent linear correlation with ${\beta}_{nuc}$ = 0.46 when hydrazine is excluded from the correlation. The reaction has been suggested to proceed through a stepwise mechanism, in which expulsion of the leaving group occurs after the rate-determining step (RDS). Hydrazine is ca. 10 times more reactive than similarly basic glycylglycine (i.e., the ${\alpha}$-effect). A five-membered cyclic intermediate has been suggested for the reaction with hydrazine, in which intramolecular H-bonding interactions would facilitate expulsion of the leaving group. However, the enhanced leaving-group ability is not responsible for the ${\alpha}$-effect shown by hydrazine because expulsion of the leaving group occurs after RDS. Destabilization of the ground-state of hydrazine through the electronic repulsion between the nonbonding electron pairs is responsible for the ${\alpha}$-effect found in the current $S_NAr$ reaction.

In In order to develop liquid crystal mixtures of high response time and high nematic-isotropic transition temperature ($T_{NI}$) for LCD-TV application, novel liquid crystal molecules with a fluoro-isothiocyanate moiety were synthesized. They showed remarkably high $T_{NI}$ over 200 $^{\circ}C$, wide mesophase range of 170 $^{\circ}C$, high dielectric anisotropy of 14 and high optical anisotropy of 0.19. New LC Mixtures of the high $T_{NI}$ ($85{\sim}100 ^{\circ}C$) and fast response time ($8{\sim}10ms$) were blended with the novel fluoro-isothiocyanate containing LC molecules, phenylcyclohexanes, bicyclohexanes and ester compounds. It was also studied on optimum pitch of liquid crystal for high speed twisted nematic LCD-TV applicaton. The LC mixtures show a fast speed of the below one frame rate in real 17" TV panel.

New banana-shaped achiral compounds, 1,3-phenylene bis [4-{4-(7-octenyloxy)phenyliminomethyl}benzoate](PBOEB), 1,3-phenylene bis [4-{3-fluoro-4-(7-octenyloxy)phenyliminomethyl}benzoate] (PBFOEB), 1,3-phenylene bis [4-{4-(10-undecyloxy)phenyliminomethyl}benzoate](PBEUB), and 1,3phenylene bis [4-{3-fluoro-4-(10-undecyloxy)phenyliminomethyl}benzoate](PBFEUB) were obtained by general synthetic methods. PBOEB and PBFOEB having the octenyloxy groups such as $-(CH_2)_6CH=CH_2$ showed ferroelectric switching, and their values of spontaneous polarization on reversal of an applied electric field were 120 nC/$cm^2$ and 225 nC/$cm^2$, respectively. PBEUB and PBFEUB having the undecyloxy groups such as $-{CH_2)_9CH=CH_2$ showed antiferroelectric switching, and their values of spontaneous polarization on reversal of an applied electric field were 120 nC/$cm^2$ and 140 nC/$cm^2$, respectively. We could obtain ferroelectric and antiferroelectric phases by controlling the number of carbon atom in alkenyloxy chains of bent-core molecules.

DW-116, [1-(5-fluoro-2-pyridyl)-6-fluoro-7-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl)-1,4-dihydro-4-oxoquino-line-3-carboxylic acid hydrochloride}, is a new quinolone antibiotic with a broad antibacterial spectrum against G(+) and G(-) bacteria. DW-116 was evaluated for the immunomodulating activities, which is one of the efforts to investigate the mechanism of action related to the good in vivo antibacterial efficacy. The results of in vitro studies revealed there was no statistically significant increase in B and T lymphocyte proliferation. But the results of in vivo studies showed that the number of plaque forming cells (PFC), the amount of polyclonal antibodies and delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) were significantly increased after the repeat administration with 12 and 60 mg/kg of DW-116. Taken together, these results proposed that immunostimulting effect of DW-116 could be one of the action mechanisms for demonstrating in vivo antibacterial activities under these experimental conditions.

This thesis describes the effective interfacing methods of PACS Modality based on the system installation andoperating experiences. PACS(Picture Archiving and Communication Systems) is a system for medical image archiving and communication using large storage device and high-speed network. The standard communication protocol of PACS is DICOM(Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine) based on TCP/IP and point-to-point protocol. However, there are many Non-DICOM Modalities and DICOM Modalities having problems. First, we had interfaced almost modalities. Fuji CR, GE CT, MRI, Angio, Fluoro, Phillips Angio, Shimadzu Fluoro. Ultrasound PACS, with the main PACS in the Seoul S Hospital as large scale hospital. And we manipulated the intelligent image distribution and the CT. MRI Interfaces never experienced beforein the Anyang J Hospital and the Chungju C Hospital as mid or small scale hospital. Technically, we developed both the DICOM Interface and the Non-DICOM Interface. At the last, the DICOM Worklist and the DICOM Print Interface were implemented in the Seoul B Hospital, the Bucheon SJ Hospital and the Seoul K Hospital independently with PACS. The Oracle, Sybase and MS-SQL are used as database, and UNIX, Macintosh, MS Windows as operating systems. And the Visual C++ and UNIX C are the main programming tools. We have used UTP, coaxial and fiber optic cable under 10/100 mbps LAN for networking.

The structural characteristics that influence on the fungicidal activities of N-phenylbenzenesulfonamide (1~24) and N-phenyltheinylsulfonamide (25~30) derivatives against Dampping-off (Pythium ultimum) were discussed quantitatively using the models of molecular holographic quantitative structure-activity relationships (HQSAR). From the based on these findings, the statistical results of the optimized HQSAR F-3 model showed better predictablity ($r^2_{cv.}$ or $q^2=0.581$) and correlation coefficient ($r^2_{ncv.}=0.963$). And, from the analytical results of the atomic contribution maps on the fungicidal activities, the most active compound is $R_1=2-fluoro-4-chloro$ substituent (4) and the most inactive one is $R_1=4-methoxy$ substituent (20). It was found that the 2-fluoro-4-chlorophenyl group as a $R_1$-group was an important structure and a characteristic factor not only for herbicidal activity but also for fungicidal activity.

The nitramine explosives with $-NH_2$ and -F groups were optimized to obtain their molecular geometries and electronic structures at DFT-B3LYP/6-31+G(d) level. The theoretical molecular density (${\rho}$), heat of formation (HOF), detonation velocity ($D$) and detonation pressure ($P$), estimated using Kamlet-Jacobs equations, showed that the detonation properties of these compounds were excellent. Based on the frequencies scaled by 0.96 and the principle of statistic thermodynamics, the thermodynamic properties were evaluated, which were respectively related with the temperature. The simulation results reveal that 1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocan-2-amine (molecule B1) performs similarly to the famous explosive HMX, and 2-fluoro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazinane (molecule C1) and 2-fluoro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocane (molecule D1) outperform HMX. According to the quantitative standard of energetics and stability as an HEDC (high energy density compound), molecules C1 and D1 essentially satisfy this requirement. These results provide basic information for molecular design of novel high energetic density compounds.
