  • A 14 year-old Shih-tzu was referred to the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital of Chungnam National University with a history of foreign body ingestion and vomiting. The vomitus contained ketoprofen plaster, which is used for orthopedic analgesia in humans. Supportive care and gastrointestinal (GI) protective agents were administered, including famotidine, misoprostol, sucralfate, omeprazole, and fluid therapy. However, the clinical signs worsened, and anemia, melena, leukocytosis, and azotemia developed. The patient was diagnosed with GI hemorrhage and underwent a whole blood transfusion followed by barium sulfate administration. After administering barium sulfate as a GI protectant, the clinical signs improved, and the patient was discharged.

  • In Positron Emission Tomography Computed Tomography, Standardized Uptake Value(SUV)is most generally used to discern tumors. However, SUV may be influenced other factors. In this study, experiment was conducted distrotion in image and change in SUV according to substance with GEMINI TF PET/CT of Philips.. SUV for materials resulted in 1.8 for stainless, 1.4 for stent, 2.4 for iodine contrast medium, 2.6 for Barium Sulfate, 1.6 for Gypsum, and 1.4 for paraffin respectively. The distortion of image was remarkable for the iodine contrast medium and Barium Sulfate. For the barium sulfate, the higher the density, the larger the distrotion of the images. As a result of test, it appeared that the metallic substance whose atomic number is low and contrast medium whose concentration is low didn't affect the distortion in image and the change in SUV. However, it tis necessary to minimize distortion in image and change in SUV, by removing the metallic substance and checking if there are contrast mdeium or before examination.

  • Antidiarrheal, anticostive and antimutagenic effects of Bifidobacterium breve K-110, K-111 and B. infantis K-525 isolated from Korean were investigated in experimental animals. These Bifidobacteria were not significantly affected on the transport of barium sulfate in the small intestine. However, these Bifidobacteria significantly stimulated the transport of barium sulfate in the large intestine. Particularly, when Bifidobacterium breve K-110 (500 mg/kg) was orally administered, the transport of barium sulfate in the large intestine was increased 45%, compared to the control group. On the castor oil-induced diarrheal mice, Bifidobacterium breve K-111 had the antidiarrheal activity but the other Bifidobacteria did not had it. When the antimutagenicity of these Bifidobacteria and their peptidoglycans were examined using Salmonella typhimurium TA98/TA100 in an in vitro assay system, these Bifidobacteria and peptidoglycans showed inhibitory effect of $20{\sim}80%$. These results indicate that Bifidobacterium spp. had antidiarrheal, anticostive and antimutagenic activities as well as the inhibitory activity of harmful enzymes of intestinal bacteria in the intestine.

  • While the shielding substances of radiation shields in medical institutions are beginning to be replaced by environmentally friendly materials, radiation protection according to the shielding properties of environmentally friendly substances is becoming an important factor rather than the existing lead shielding properties. Tungsten and barium sulfate are representative shielding materials similar to lead, and are made in sheets or fiber form with eco-friendly materials. Ytterbium is an impermeable material used as a fluorine compound in the dental radiation field. This study aims to evaluate the shielding performance in the x-ray shielding area by comparing the shielding properties of ytterbium by energy band and that of existing eco-friendly materials. When three types of shielding sheets were fabricated and tested under the same process conditions, the shielding performance of the medical radiation area was about 5 % difference from tungsten. Furthermore, shielding performance was superior to barium sulfate. In the cross-sectional structure of the shielding sheet, there was a disadvantage that the arrangement of particles was not uniform. Ytterbium oxide showed sufficient potential as a medical radiation shielding material, and it is thought that it can improve the shielding performance by controlling the particle arrangement structure and particle size.

  • Aspirating or swallowing foreign bodies is a common occurrence. If they are wholly or partly radiopaque, their localization in and progress through the gastrointestinal tract can be more effective. Of the dental origin foreign materials swallowed, the most common things are fragments of anterior maxillary partial denture. But the radiopacity of denture base resins is not sufficient to determine the location of the objects. The purpose of this study was to develop a radiopaque dental acrylic resin, which has clinically detectible radiopacity with minimal change of mechanical properties and color. The radiopacity, color change(CIE 6..E) and microhardness of acrylic resins were determined after mixing barium sulfate or iodide compound. Thermocycling course was conducted to determine the change of characteristic of resins after using for a long time in the mouth. Five or ten percent of barium sulfate to total weight of cured material was mixed with heat curing dental acrylic resin or chemically curing orthodontic resin. In the case of iodide compound, the mixing ratio was two or three percent. After mixing the high radiopaque materials, resin was cured to 20×20×2 mm plate, polished with #600 sand paper and finally polished with Microcloth(Buehler). The specimens were thermocycled in 5 and 55 t distilled water for 2,000 times, and the measurement of radiopacity, color and Vickers hardness was repeated every 500 times thcrmocycling. The radiopacity of specimens on the X -ray films was measured with densitometer(X-rite). The color change was detennined with differential colorimeter(Model TC-6FX, Tokyo Denshoku), and the Vickers hardness number was measured with microhardness tester(Mitsuzawa). The following results were obtained : 1. All the three variables, the kinds of acrylic resins, the mixing or the kinds of high radiopaque materials and thermocycling, had combined effect on the radiopacity of the dental acrylic resins(p<0.0l). 2. The two variables, the mixing or the kinds of high radiopaque materials and thermocycling, influenced on the radiopacity of the dental acrylic resins(p<0.01). But the kinds of acrylic resins did not influence on the color change of mixed dental acrylic resins(p>0.05). 3. Each of the three variables, the kinds of acrylic resins, the mixing or the kinds of high radiopaque materials and thermocycling, influenced on the radiopacity of dental acrylic resins(p<0.0l). 4. The high radiopaque materials used in this study did not yield clinically usable radiopacity, and the color change was great after mixing those materials.

  • This study made a tentative estimation of the shielding rate of barium compound by thickness through monte carlo simulation to apply medical radiation shielding products that can replace existing lead. Barium sulfate($BaSO_4$) was used for the shielding material, and thickness of the shielding material specimen was simulated from 0.1 mm to 5 mm by applying $15{\times}15cm^2$ of specimen area, $4.5g/cm^3$ of density of barium sulfate, and $11.34g/cm^3$ density of lead. Entered source was simulated with 10kVp Step in consecutive X-ray energy spectrum(40 kVp ~ 120 kVp). Absorption probability in 40 kVp ~ 60 kVp showed same shielding rate with lead in 3 mm ~ 5 mm of thickness, but it was identified that under 2 mm, the shielding rate was a bit lower than the existing lead shielding material. Also, the shielding rate in 70 kVp ~ 120 kVp energy band showed similar performance as the existing lead shielding material, but it was tentatively estimated as fairly low shielding rate below 0.5 mm. This study estimated the shielding rate of barium compound as the thickness function of x-ray energy band for medical radiation through monte carlo simulation, and made comparative analysis with existing lead. Also, this study intended to verify application validity of the x-ray shielding material for medical radiation of pure barium sulfate. As a result, it was estimated that the shielding effect was 95% higher than the existing lead 1.5 mm in at least 2 mm thickness of barium compound in medical radiation energy band 70 kVp ~ 120 kVp, and this result is considered valid to be provided as a base data in weight lightening production of radiation shielding product for medical radiation.

  • This study was carried out to investigate the motor activity and glucose transport and metabolism of Gaewool-Whadam-Jian(GWJ) in rat gastro-intestinal tract. The motor activity of the rat gastro-intestinal tract has been investigated by means of measuring barium sulfate passage degrees. Atropine treatment significantly delayed barium sulfate transit, and GWJ pretreatment increased intestinal motor activity, but not significant. GWJ administration showed no toxicity to kidney and liver. Transport and metabolism of glucose were studied in everted sac of rat small intestine with incubation under several conditions. The transport and metabolism of glucose were greater at jejunum than ileum. So, everted jejunum of rat were used to study the effect of GWJ. When GWJ were treated, the concentration of glucose were higher than untreated group. This result was thought to be influenced by the glucose in GWJ. When 2, 4 dinitrophenol and phlorizin were treated, the transport and metabolism of glucose were decreased, but GWJ treated together, the concentration of glucose in serosal solution increased. Gastric juice secretion and total acidity significantly decreased by administration of GWJ through duodenum region. The mechanism of effect of GWJ was still unidentified, Dut through continuous investigation, the effect of GWJ should be investigated.

  • A highly selective membrane electrode based on1,3,5-triphenylpyrylium perchlorate (TPPP) is presented. The proposed electrode shows very good selectivity for sulfate ions over a wide variety of common inorganic and organic anions. The sensor displays a nice Nernstian slope of -29.7 mV per decade. The working concentration ranges of the electrode is 1.0{\times}10^{-1}-6.3{\times}10^{-6} $M with a detection limit of $4.0{\times}10^{-6}$ M (480 ng per mL). The response time of the sensor in whole concentration ranges is very short (< 6 s). The response of the sensor is independent on the pH range of 2.5-9.5. The best performance was obtained with a membrane composition of 32% PVC, 59% benzyl acetate, 5% TPPP and 4% hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide. It was successfully used as an indicator electrode for titration of sulfate ions with barium ions. The electrode was also applied for determination of salbutamol sulfate and paramomycine sulfate.
