금속나노입자는 진단이나 치료를 포함한 의생명응용분야에 있어 매력적인 특징들을 갖고 있다. 양성자 빔 치료를 위한 방사선증감제로 사용하기 위해 가교덱스트란이 코팅된 산화철나노입자(SPIONs)와 실리카가 코팅된 산화가돌리늄나노입자(SPGONs)를 합성하였다. 덱스트란과 실리카는 각각 SPIONs와 SPGONs의 보호수단이다. 합성된 SPIONs와 SPGONs를 투과전자현미경(TEM)으로 분석한 결과 각각 평균 직경이 3~5 nm와 30~100 nm였다. 합성된 방사선 증감제의 효과를 평가하기 위해 세포생존곡선 측정과 Western blotting을 수행하였다. 측정된 세포생존곡선으로부터 계산된 90% 세포사멸 시 방사선증감비는 SPIONs와 SPGONs에 대하여 각각 1.23과 1.03이었다. Western blotting 결과 역시 Cytochrome C의 발현량이 SPIONs를 처리한 암세포에서 유의적으로 증가됨을 보였다.

The density controlled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are grown on the iron acetate nanoparticles by using the freeze-dry method. The iron-acetate [Fe(II)$(CH_3COO)_2$] solution is used to prepare the catalytic iron nanoparticles. The density of CNTs is controlled in order to enhance the field emission process. Furthermore, the patterning of the iron nanoparticle catalyst-layer for the fabrication of electronic devices is simply achieved by using alkaline solution, TMAH (tetramethylammonium hydroxide). We applied this patterning process of catalyst layer to form the electron emitter with under-gate type triode structure.

We introduce a novel contrast mechanism for imaging superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticles (average diameter ${\sim}100nm$) using magneto-motive optical Doppler tomography (MM-ODT), which combines an externally applied temporally oscillating high-strength magnetic field with ODT to detect the nanoparticles flowing through a glass capillary tube. A solenoid cone-shaped ferrite core extensively increased the magnetic field strength ($B_{max}=1\;T,\;{\Delta}|B|^2=220T^2/m$) at the tip of the core and also focused the magnetic force on targeted samples. Nanoparticle contrast was demonstrated in a capillary tube filled with the SPIO solution by imaging the Doppler frequency shift which was observed independent of the flow rate and direction. Results suggest that MM-ODT may be a promising technique to enhance SPIO nanoparticle contrast for imaging fluid flow.

The use of support materials on the nanoparticle synthesis and applications has advantages in many aspects; resisting the aggregation and gelation of nanoparticles, providing more active sites by dispersing over the supports, and facilitating a filtering process. In order to elucidate the influence of the supports on the nitrate reduction reactivity, the supported iron nanoparticles were prepared by borohydride reduction of an aqueous iron salt in the presence of supports such as activated carbon, silica and polyethylene. The reactivity for nitrate reduction decreased in the order of unsupported Fe(0) > activated carbon(AC) supported Fe(0) > polyethylene(PE) supported Fe(0) ${\ge}$ silica supported Fe(0). Rate constants decrease with increasing initial nitrate concentration implying that the reaction is limited by the surface reaction kinetics.

목적: 상용화 된 superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticles과 transfection agent (TA)의 최적의 병용 용량을 알아보고자 하였다. 대상과 방법: Protamine sulfate (Pro), poly-L-lysin (PLL)과 ferumoxide, ferucarbotran을 다양한 농도에서 인체 중간엽 줄기세포에서 배양하여 세포 생존능을 알아보았다. 세포 철 섭취율은 정성적으로, 정량적으로 분석하였다. 결과: Ferumoxide 처리군의 생존능과 철 섭취율은 ferucarbotrn 처리군보다 통계적으로 의미있게 높았다 (p < 0.05). T2 이완시간은 ferumoxide 처리군에서 짧았다 (p < 0.05). 25 ${\mu}g$/ml ferumoxide와 3.0 ${\mu}g$/ml Pro 또는 PLL 병용군이 최적의 조건이었다. 결론: Ferumoxide 처리군의 세포 생존능과 철 섭취율은 ferucarbotrn 처리군보다 높았다. 25 ${\mu}g$/ml ferumoxide와 3.0 ${\mu}g$/ml TA는 줄기세포 표지에 적합하다.

We developed a new generalized synthetic procedure, called as "heat-up process," to produce uniform-sized nanocrystals of many transition metals and oxides without a size selection process. We were able to synthesize uniform magnetite nanocrystals as much as 1 kilogram-scale from the thermolysis of Fe-oleate complex. Clever combination of different nanoscale materials will lead to the development of multifunctional nano-biomedical platforms for simultaneous targeted delivery, fast diagnosis, and efficient therapy. In this presentation, I would like to present some of our group's recent results on the designed fabrication of multifunctional nanostructured materials based on uniform-sized magnetite nanoparticles and their medical applications. Uniform ultrasmall iron oxide nanoparticles of <3 nm were synthesized by thermal decomposition of iron-oleate complex in the presence of oleyl alcohol. These ultrasmall iron oxide nanoparticles exhibited good T1 contrast effect. In in vivo T1 weighted blood pool magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), iron oxide nanoparticles showed longer circulation time than commercial gadolinium complex, enabling high resolution imaging. We used 80 nm-sized ferrimagnetic iron oxide nanocrystals for T2 MRI contrast agent for tracking transplanted pancreatic islet cells and single-cell MR imaging. We reported on the fabrication of monodisperse magnetite nanoparticles immobilized with uniform pore-sized mesoporous silica spheres for simultaneous MRI, fluorescence imaging, and drug delivery. We synthesized hollow magnetite nanocapsules and used them for both the MRI contrast agent and magnetic guided drug delivery vehicle.

본 논문은 자석을 회전시켜 실시간으로 자기장을 변화시키고 그로 인해 특정 조건에서 산화철 나노입자를 side point(피부)보다 center point(심부)에서 더 많이 유도할 수 있다는 가능성을 제시하였다. 향후 연구로 유속에 따른 Critical Magnetic flux density, 시간에 따른 나노입자 축적량, 자기장과 산화철 나노입자의 상호작용을 고려한 실험 설계, 전자석 등을 이용한 자기장조절을 연구하여 실질적인 혈관에서 본 실험을 진행할 계획이다.

We have investigated the effects of post annealing on iron oxide nanoparticles synthesized by the novel hydrothermal synthesis method with the $FeSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$. To investigate the post annealing effect, the as-synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles were annealed at different temperatures in a vacuum chamber. The morphological, structural and magnetic properties of the iron oxide nanoparticles were investigated with high resolution X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), Mossbauer spectroscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometer analysis. According to the XRD and HRTEM analysis results, as-synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles were only magnetite ($Fe_3O_4$) phase with face-centered cubic structure but post annealed iron oxide nanoparticles at $700^{\circ}C$ were mainly magnetite phase with trivial maghemite ($\gamma-Fe_2O_3$) phase which was induced in the post annealing treatment. The crystallinity of the iron oxide nanoparticles is enhanced by the post annealing treatment. The particle size of the as-synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles was about 5 nm and the particle shape was almost spherical. But the particle size of the post annealed iron oxide nanoparticles at $700^{\circ}C$ was around 25 nm and the particle shape was spherical and irregular. The as-synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles showed superparamagnetic behavior, but post annealed iron oxide nanoparticles at $700^{\circ}C$ did not show superparamagnetic behavior due to the increase of particle size by post annealing treatment. The saturation of magnetization of the as-synthesized nanoparticles, post annealed nanoparticles at $500^{\circ}C$, and post annealed nanoparticles at $700^{\circ}C$ was found to be 3.7 emu/g, 6.1 emu/g, and 7.5 emu/g, respectively. The much smaller saturation magnetization value than one of bulk magnetite can be attributed to spin disorder and/or spin canting, spin pinning at the nanoparticle surface.

We studied the density control of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) which were grown on the iron nanoparticles prepared from iron-acetate [$Fe(II)(CH_3COO)_2$] solution using freeze-dry method. The density of CNTs was controlled for the enhancement of field emission. The patterning process of iron-acetate catalyst-layer for the fabrication of electronic device was simply achieved by using alkaline solution, TMAH (tetramethylammonium hydroxide). We applied this patterning process of catalyst layer to formation of the electron emitter with under gate type triode structure.
