나노입자는 생체활성물질을 지능적으로 전달하는 다양한 응용분야를 위해 개발되고 응용되어왔다. 본 연구에서는 락토신과 메타크릴산-메틸메타크릴레이트 공중합체(eudragit L100)가 나노입자로 가공되었다. 이 eudragit 고분자는 락토신을 위산으로부터 보호해주고 장에서 용출되도록 할 수 있다. 아세톤과 pH 7의 버퍼용액을 각각 비용매, 용매로 사용하였을 경우, 가장 작은 입자크기인 290 nm를 얻을 수 있었다. 얻은 입자는 분산제인 carrageenan 존재하에 동결건조를 통해, 응집을 최소화하며 건조 분말로 전환시킬 수 있었다. 락토신과 eudragit을 이용하여 얻은 일차입자는 SEM 관찰을 통해 수십나노미터크기임을 확인할 수 있었다.

The goal of this study is to determine the influence of major factors on the spiral surface microparticle injection machining of cylindrical specimens by the statistical method ANOVA. Before the experiment, rod-shaped test specimens and jigs for helical surface spraying were prepared, and the surface roughness was measured with a surface roughness meter. The injection particle, nozzle diameter, and injection pressure were the primary parameters of the experiment. Other factors that were considered were injection height, injection time, revolutions, and feed distance. The surface roughness after machining was measured, and the effects of the surface roughness data on the primary factors were determined with ANOVA.

Transdermal and topical drug delivery with minimal tissue damage has been an area of vigorous research for a number of years. Our research team has initiated the development of an effective method for delivering drug particles across the skin (transdermal) for systemic circulation, and to localized (topical) areas. The device consists of a micro particle acceleration system based on laser ablation that can be integrated with endoscopic surgical techniques. A layer of micro particles is deposited on the surface of a thin metal foil. The rear side of the foil is irradiated with a laser beam, which generates a shockwave that travels through the foil. When the shockwave reaches the end of the foil, it is reflected as an expansion wave and causes instantaneous deformation of the foil in the opposite direction. Due to this sudden deformation, the microparticles are ejected from the foil at very high speeds, and therefore have sufficient momentum to penetrate soft body tissues. We have demonstrated this by successfully delivering cobalt particles $3\;{\mu}m$ in diameter into gelatin models that represent soft tissue with remarkable penetration depth.

침전법, 수열 반응법, 리간드 보조법을 사용하여 다양한 형태의 $BaCO_3$ 결정을 합성하였다. 수용액에서 $Ba(NO_3)_2$과 $Na_2CO_3$를 단순 침전시키면 불규칙한 입자 형태의 $BaCO_3$ 마이크로 결정이 얻어졌다. 수열 반응으로 $Ba(NO_3)_2$와 urea를 반응시켜 육각형 막대 피라미드 형태의 $BaCO_3$를 합성하였으며, 리간드 보조 수열 반응법을 사용하여 육각형 막대형의 $BaCO_3$를 합성하였다. 리간드 농도가 증가 할수록 $BaCO_3$ 육각형 막대의 종횡비가 증가하였다.

Recent advances in energetic materials modeling and high-resolution hydrocode simulation enable enhanced computational analysis of bio-medical treatments that utilize high-pressure shock waves. Of particular interest is in designing devices that use such technology in medical treatments. For example, the generated micro shock waves with peak pressure on orders of 10 GPa can be used for treatments such as kidney stone removal, trans-dermal micro-particle delivery. and cancer cell removal. In this work, we present a new computational methodology for applying the high explosive dynamics to bio-medical treatments by making use of high pressure shock physics and multi-material wave interactions. The preliminary calculations conducted by the in-house code, GIBBS2D, captures various features that are observed from the actual experiments under the similar test conditions. We expect to gain novel insights in applying explosive shock wave physics to the bio-medical science involving drug injection. Our forthcoming papers will illustrate the quantitative comparison of the modeled results against the experimental data.

A nanofluid is a mixture of solid nanoparticles and a common base fluid. Nanofluids have shown great potential in improving the heat transfer properties of liquids. However, previous studies on the characteristics of nanofluids did not adequately explain the enhancement of heat transfer. This study examined the distribution of particles in a fluid and compared the mechanism for the enhancement of heat transfer in a nanofluid with that in a general microparticle suspension. A theoretical model was formulated with shear-induced particle migration, viscosity-induced particle migration, particle migration by Brownian motion, as well as the inertial migration of particles. The results of the simulation showed that there was no significant particle migration, with no change in particle concentration in the radial direction. A uniform particle concentration is very important in the heat transfer of a nanofluid. As the particle concentration and effective thermal conductivity at the wall region is lower than that of the bulk fluid, due to particle migration to the center of a microfluid, the addition of microparticles in a fluid does not affect the heat transfer properties of that fluid. However, in a nanofluid, particle migration to the center occurs quite slowly, and the particle migration flux is very small. Therefore, the effective thermal conductivity at the wall region increases with increasing addition of nanoparticles. This may be one reason why a nanofluid shows a good convective heat transfer performance.

Biodegradable microspheres made from poly-lactide-co-glycolide polymers have been considered as a new delivery system for single-dose vaccine. Purified tetanus toxoid (TT) was encapsulated in poly-lactide(PLA) and poly-lactide-co-glycolide (PLGA) microparticles using a solvent evaporation method in a multiple emulsion system (water-in oil-in water). The morphology of 77-loaded microparticles was spherical and the suface of them was smooth. The particle size was in a range of 2-10. Protein loading efficiency was 68-97.8%. PLGA (85:15) microparticle showed the highest efficiency. Protein release pattern was influenced by polymer molecular weight and composition. The release rate of PLA(Mw 100,000) microsphere was higher than any other microspheres. In consequence of the hydrolysis of PLGA(50:50) microspheres, environmental pH decreased from 7.4 to 5.0. The PLA, PLGA (75:25) and PLGA (85:15) microshperes showed no significant pH change. The antigenicity or n in microshperes was assayed by indirect sandwich ELISA using equine polyclonal tetanus antitoxin for capture antibody and human polyclonal tetanus antitoxin for primary antibody. The antigenicity of TT in PLA (Mw 100,000), PLGA(50:50, Mw 100,000) and PLGA (75:25, Mw 73,300) after 30 days incubation showed 54, 40.9 and 76.7%, respectively.

Size effects of rice product powders on physical properties including suspension stability were investigated in this study. Endosperm, bran, and husk powders of rice with different size particles were prepared using the pin crusher or the ultrafine air mill. The physical properties of the powders were examined using particle size analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and spectrophotometry. The peak of the volume-weighted particle distribution of ultrafine endosperm particles was at $5.4\;{\mu}m$ whereas those of the bran and the husk appeared at 65 and $35\;{\mu}m$, respectively. Ultrafine particles of the endosperm and the husks dispersed better than larger-sized particles. As time elapsed, the dispersibility decreased, but the ultrafine particles were precipitated at the slowest rate. Our results suggest that ultrafine particles, including future nanosized particles, provide improved solubility and dispersibility resulting in better stability in the food colloidal suspension.

Purpose: To investigate associations of perceived stress level, serum cortisol level, and telomere length of community-dwelling adults in Korea. Methods: Data of a total of 135 community-dwelling adults aged over 40 years living in D metropolitan city from December 2020 to March 2021 were collected. Perceived stress level over the past month were measured using the Perceived Stress Score. Serum cortisol level was analyzed using a chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay. Telomere length was determined using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. The statistical package SPSS 23.0 was used to perform Chi-square test, independent t-test, and Pearson's correlation coefficient analysis. Results: There was no association between perceived stress and serum cortisol level (r = .07, p= .402). Serum cortisol level was not significantly associated with telomere length either (r = -.15, p= .081). However, the higher the perceived stress level, the shorter the telomere length (r= -.29, p= .001). Conclusion: These results suggest that perceived stress might induce physiological stress, which might partially affect gene biology. Further longitudinal research is needed to investigate the effect of perceived stress on telomere length. Intervention for relieving stress should be included in stabilizing the genetic environment of adults.
