Patients administered radioisotope for medical purposes are regulated by each country to quarantine them until their body's radioactivity contents decrease below release criteria. To predict the quarantine period and provide it to medical staffs and patients, it is necessary to approach the assessment of the exposure dose of persons due to patients in a realistic manner. For this purpose, a whole-body effective half-life should be applied to the dose assessment equation instead of the physical half-life. In this study, we constructed a bio-kinetic model for each nuclear species based on the ICRP publication to obtain a whole-body effective half-life of 10 unsealed gamma-ray emitting nuclei from the notification of Nuclear Safety and Security Commission, and calculated the effective half-life mathematically by simulating the distribution of the radioisotope administered in the whole body as well as each organ scale. The whole-body effective half-life of $^{198}Au$, $^{67}Ga$, $^{123}I$, $^{111}In$, $^{186}Re$, $^{99m}Tc$, and $^{201}TI$ were 1,93, 2.57, 0.295, 2.805, 1.561, 0.245, and 2.397 days respectively. However, it was found to be undesirable to offer a single value of the effective half-life of $^{125}I$, $^{131}I$, and $^{169}Yb$ because the changes in the effective half-life show no linearity. A bio-kinetic model created for the internal exposure assessment has been shown to be possible to calculate the effective half-life of radioisotopes administered in the patient's body, but subsequent studies of radiolabeled compounds are required as well.

The short in vivo half-life of GLP-1 prevents it from being used clinically. This short half-life occurs because GLP-1 is rapidly degraded by dipeptidyl peptidases such as DPP-IV. To overcome this obstacle, a GLP-1/Fc was constructed and evaluated to determine if it was degraded by DPP-IV and in serum. When the degradation of GLP-1/Fc by human DPP-IV and rabbit serum was compared with that of GLP-1 it was found to be reduced by approximately 5- and 4-fold, respectively. Furthermore, GLP-1/Fc showed a potent activity for human GLP-1 receptor activation ($EC_{50}$ approximately 6 nM). Taken together, these results indicate that GLP-1/Fc may have an extended half-life in vivo that occurs as a result of inhibition of degradation by human DPP-IV. Due to the extended half life, GLP-1/Fc may be useful for clinical treatments.

It is essential use of long term half life radioisotopes for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging study of biopharmaceuticals because most of biopharmaceuticals have long biological half-life. Some representative isotopes are $^{124}I$, $^{64}Cu$, $^{89}Zr$ and so on. These PET radioisotopes and their radiopharmaceuticals have recently received growing interest because of long half life and good imaging properties. Furthermore, $^{64}Cu$ and $^{89}Zr$ can be used in a number of radiopharmaceuticals due to its ease of conjugation to peptides and antibodies using the proper chelator. In recent years, since $^{124}I$ was first developed in 2005, we have been studied to develop an efficient method and procedure for producing these radioisotopes, and we have made considerable progress in production of long term half life radioisotopes. This review introduces the general production system, purification procedure, and several advances on targeting method for $^{124}I$ and $^{64}Cu$ in KIRAMS.

갑상선 분화암 환자의 방사선 치료에서 I-131의 유효반감기는 환자에게 투여하는 양의 계산뿐만 아니라 환자의 격리 입원기간의 결정, 환자로부터 가족들이 받게 되는 선량을 계산하는데 유용한 값이다. 하지만 이 값은 물리적반감기와는 달리 실측을 해야만 얻을 수 있어 입원 격리중인 환자에게 계측하기가 기술적으로 어려운 문제가 있다. Dual time I-131 whole body scan의 초기촬영과 지연촬영 사이의 체내잔류방사능량을 이용하여 전신과 갑상선에 유효반감기를 추정해 보았다. 또한 혈중 크레아티닌 농도, GFR, 투여량이 유효반감기와 상관관계가 있는지 알아보았다. 유효반감기 측정을 위해 전신에 체내잔류방사능량과 갑상선의 잔류방사능량을 측정하기 위해 환자의 전신을 흥미영역으로 설정한 후 배후방사능을 보정하여 전신의 체내잔류방사능량을 획득하였고, 갑상선 부위에 ROI를 설정한 후 배후 방사능을 보정하여 갑상선의 잔류방사능량을 획득하였다. 초기영상과 지연영상의 측정값 사이의 비율을 계산하여 전신과 갑상선의 유효반감기를 구하였다. 또한 유효반감기와 GFR, 혈중크레아티닌 농도, I-131 투여량과의 상관관계를 분석하였다. 전신의 체내잔류방사능량을 측정한 값의 유효반감기는 $17.06{\pm}5.50$시간으로 나타났고 갑상선의 잔류방사능량을 측정한 값의 유효반감기는 $17.22{\pm}5.41$시간으로 나타났으며 두 유효반감기는 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다(P=0.887). GFR 값이 올라갈수록 전신의 유효반감기(r=-0.407, P=0.003)와 갑상선 유효반감기(r=-0.473, P=0.001) 모두 유의하게 감소하였으며 혈중크레아티닌 농도가 올라갈수록 전신의 유효반감기(r=0.309, P=0.029)와 갑상선 유효반감기(r=0.371, P=0.008) 모두 유의하게 증가하였다. 투여량은 두유효반감기와 상관관계를 보이지 않았다. 본 연구를 통해 고용량 방사성요오드 치료환자 입원기간의 최적화 연구와 기존 유효반감기를 구하기 위해 종사자의 피폭 및 복잡성을 보완하여 간편하게 측정을 할 수 있을 것이라 생각한다. 또한 분석된 갑상선의 유효반감기를 적용한 MIRD schema의 내부피폭선량 평가 연구에도 활용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Tobramycin is one of the most frequently selected agents for pharmacokinetic drug monitoring because of its narrow therapeutic index and essential role for the management of serious infections, especially gram-negative infections. Its pharmacokinetic parameters are dependent on race, sex, age, ideal body weight. disease states, and etc. Therefore, to schedule the dosing of tobramycin, the individual pharmacokinetic parameters such as half-life and volume of distribution are needed. However, these pharmacokinetic parameters have never been reported in Koreans. The purposes of this study were to evaluate the volume of distribution of tobramycin in cancer patients who had normal renal function, to compare the mean values of Vd reported in the literature, and to compare the measured half-life with the expected half-life based on ABW, LBW, and IBW, respectively. Venous blood samples were collected just before and thirty minutes after dosing during steady state. Serum tobramycin concentrations were determined by $TD_x$ (fluorescence immunoassay). IBW were measured by the method of Devine: and LBW were measured by the method of Hallynck. Creatinine clearances (CLcr) of the patients were estimated using the Cockcroft and Gault equation. Elimination rate constants (kel) were determined using the Welling and Craig equation. Infusion rate (ko), volume of distribution (Vd), and half-life $(t_{1/2})$ were determined using the Saw chuk and Zaske equation. The volume of distribution Was $27\%$ greater than the Schentag's study (0.26 vs 0.33 l/kg), but the half-life was similar to the Levy's study. The predicted half-lives based on IBW were the closest to actual half-lives (1.85 vs 2.01 hr).

In general, X-ray diffraction method detects the changes of crystal lattice under material surface using the angle of diffraction 2$\theta$. This technique which deals with in the presented paper can be applied to a behavior on the slipped band or the micro crack cause to material degradation. The relation between half-value breadth and cycle numbers shows three stages, which consist of rapid decrease in the initial cycle, slight decrease in the middle cycle, and then rapid decrease in the final cycle. The ratio of half-value breadth has a constant value on B/B$\_$0/ - N diagram under the loading condition except early part of fatigue life. The ratio of half-value breadth B/B$\_$0/ - log N$\_$f/ with respect to number of cycle to failure N$\_$f/ has linear behavior on B/B$\_$0/ - log N$\_$f/ diagram. Therefore, the evaluation of fatigue life by the average gradient has much less mean error than the estimation of fatigue life by log B/B$\_$0/ - log N/N$\_$f/ relation.
