Deep learning has been applied to various medical data. In particular, current deep learning models exhibit remarkable performance at specific tasks, sometimes offering higher accuracy than that of experts for discriminating specific diseases from medical images. The current status of deep learning applications to molecular imaging can be divided into a few subtypes in terms of their purposes: differential diagnostic classification, enhancement of image acquisition, and image-based quantification. As functional and pathophysiologic information is key to molecular imaging, this review will emphasize the need for accurate biomarker acquisition by deep learning in molecular imaging. Furthermore, this review addresses practical issues that include clinical validation, data distribution, labeling issues, and harmonization to achieve clinically feasible deep learning models. Eventually, deep learning will enhance the role of theranostics, which aims at precision targeting of pathophysiology by maximizing molecular imaging functional information.

본 연구에서는 활성탄 흡착, 오존 단독, 오존/활성탄 혼합공정을 이용하여 부식산을 처리하고 부식산의 처리효율을 $UV_{254}$와 DOC를 통해 살펴보았으며, 부식산의 분해특성은 분자량 크기분포의 변화와 활성탄 표면변화를 통해 관찰하였다. 각 공정에서의 DOC 제거효율을 살펴본 결과, 활성탄 흡착공정은 약 19%, 오존 단독공정은 38%이었으나, 오존/활성탄 혼합공정에서는 약 80%로 활성탄 흡착공정과 오존 단독공정의 DOC 처리효율을 합한 것보다 훨씬 높아, 혼합공정을 도입함으로써 시너지 효과를 얻을 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 기리고 $UV_{254}$ 감소율 역시 오존/활성탄 혼합공정에서 가장 크게 나타났다. 오존/활성탄 혼합공정에서 활성탄은 고유의 흡착제 역할뿐만 아니라 흡착된 유기물과 오존의 접촉을 촉진시키는 반응자리를 제공하는 역할을 하는 것으로 사료된다. 각 공정에서의 분자량크기분포 변화를 살펴본 결과, 활성탄 흡착공정에의 분자량 크기분포는 반응 전후에 큰 차이가 없었으며, 오존 단독공정에서는 30 kDa 이상의 분자량이 반응시간 10분 이후에는 거의 감소하지 않고 일정하였으나, 0.5 kDa 이하의 저분자량은 초기 4.8%에서 120분 처리시 12.3%로 증가하였다. 한편 오존/활성탄 혼합공정에서는 120분 처리시 30 kDa 이상 분자량이 초기 36.3%에서 3.9%로 뚜렷하게 감소하였으며, 0.5 kDa 이하의 저분자량은 초기 4.8%에서 40.1%로 크게 증가하였다.

키토산은 키틴의 탈아세틸화반응을 통해서 얻어진 유전적 독성이 없는 천연착화제로써 방사성동위원소 혹은 중금속 이온의 제거제 및 체내 흡수 억제제로 알려져 왔다. 본 연구에서는 분자량이 다른 C-14 chitosan을 정맥투여 한 후 C-14 chitosan 분자량별 마우스 체내 대사과정을 알아보고자 하였다 ICR계 웅성 마우스(8-10주령, 체중 30-35g)를 사용하였다. C-14 chitosan은 증류수로 희석한 다음, 꼬리정맥을 통해 정맥 투여하였다. C-14 chitosan 투여후 6시간, 1일, 3일, 5일, 7일째 마우스를 희생시켜 혈액, 간, 신장, 비장, 폐, 근육, 고환, 오줌을 채취하였으며, 각각의 ${\beta}$-방사능을 측정하여 상대농도를 구하였다. 대부분의 C-14 chitosan이 6시간째에 오줌을 통해 체외 배출되었고, 체내대사과정은 분자량이 서로 다름에도 불구하고 비슷하였다. 간, 신장, 비장등에서 높은 방사능을 나타내었다. 조직간의 상대농도는 6시간째에 증가하다가 서서히 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 결론적으로 정맥 투여한 키토산은 분자량에 상관없이 대부분 오줌을 통해 체외배출 되고, 체내 장기중의 대사과정은 비슷하게 나타났다.

To prepare oligouronic acids from high-molecular-weight alginates, sea tangle (Laminaria japonica) alginates were hydrolyzed at various pHs for 1 hr at 80$^{\circ}C$. The effects of hydrolysis pH (HpH) on the average molecular weight (AMW) and MW distribution ratios (DRs) in the hydrolyzed alginates were investigated. As HpH decreased, the DRs of the alginates with MW>500 kDa and MW=300-500 kDa decreased exponentially, while it increased exponentially for MW<50 kDa. For MW=100-300 kDa, DR increased exponentially as HpH fell from 5.0 to 3.5, and then decreased exponentially. Similarly, for MW=50-100 kDa, DR increased exponentially as HpH increased to 1.0 from 5.0, and then decreased exponentially. As HpH decreased, the MW cutoff size and AMW of alginates fraction with the highest DR were decreased. For HpH 4.5 and 5.0, the MW cutoff size with the highest DRs was MW=300-500 kDa; the DRs were 28.9 and 32.6%, respectively; and the AMW of both was about 400 kDa, for HpH 3.5 and 4.0, the cutoff size was MW=100-300 kDa; the DRs were about 28%: and the AMWs were both about 200 kDa. For HpH 3.0, the cutoff size was MW=50-100; the DR was 29.0%; and the AMW was 73 kDa. For HpH values below 2.0, the MW cutoff size with the highest DRs was MW<50 kDa, and all of the AMWs were below 28 kDa.

Ionic Liquids (ILs) 는 표준상태에서 액체이온으로 존재하는 물질로 여러 가지 방법으로 다양한 특성을 띄게 할 수 있다. 이런 성질을 적절하게 이용하여 계면활성제 등 다양한 분야로의 응용이 가능하다. ILs의 한 종류인 1-10-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide([C10mim][Br]) 은 특정한 환경에서 양친매성을 가진다. 이번 논문에서 우리는 분자동역학을 이용하여 수용액에서의 [C10mim][Br]의 응집 거동에 대한 연구를 진행하였다. 정준모듬(canonical ensemble)을 이용하여 모사 간 시스템의 부피와 온도를 일정하게 유지시키고 5ns 동안의 전산모사를 통하여 얻은 radial distribution function(RDF)을 이용하여 [C10mim][Br]과 물 분자간의 상호작용 및 그 분포의 특성에 대하여 논의하였다. 분자동역학적 계산을 위하여 LAMMPS 코드를 사용하였고, VMD 코드를 이용하여 후처리(post processing)을 진행하였다.

To prepare oligouronic acids from high-molecular-weight alginates prepared from sea tangle (Laminaria japonica), the alginates were hydrolyzed at various temperatures for 1 hr at pH 5.0. The effects of hydrolysis temperature $(H_{Temp})$ on the average molecular weight (AMW) and distribution ratio of MW (DR) in the hydrolyzed alginates were investigated. As $(H_{Temp})$ increased, the AMW of the alginates decreased exponentially; in addition the DR of the alginates with MW>500 kDa decreased exponentially, while the DR of those with MW=50-100 and MW<50 kDa increased exponentially. For the alginates with MW=300-500 and MW=100-300 kDa the DR increased exponentially until $H_{Temp}$ reached $80^{\circ}C$, and then decreased exponentially at above $80^{\circ}C$. AS $H_{Temp}$ increased, the MW cutoff size and AMW Of the alginates fraction With the highest DR both decreased. For $H_{Temp}<60^{\circ}C$, the MW cutoff size with the highest DR was MW>500 kDa; the DR was 39-67% and the AMW 1,000-1,300 kDa. For $H_{Temp}$ $80^{\circ}C$, the MW cutoff size with the highest DR was MW=300-500 kDa and the DR was about 33% and the AMW about 400 kDa. For $H_{Temp}\;100-121^{\circ}C$, the MW cutoff size with the highest DRs was MW=50-100 kDa, with a DR of 39-44% and an AMW of 70-80 kDa.

The follistatin (FST) gene encodes a monomeric glycoprotein that plays a role in binding and inhibiting the functions of members of the transforming growth factor (TGF)-${\beta}$ superfamily. Thus, FST facilitates a wide variety of functions, ranging from muscle growth, to inflammation and immunity. In this study, we sought to characterize an FST counterpart, RbFST, which was identified from rock bream Oplegnathus fasciatus. The RbFST cDNA sequence (2,419 bp) contains a 933-bp open reading frame (ORF) that encodes a putative amino acid sequence for RbFST (35 kDa). The putative amino acid sequence contains a Kazal-type serine protease inhibitor domain (51-98 residues) and an EF-hand, calcium-binding domain (191-226 residues). Additionally, this sequence shares a high identity (98.7%) with the Siniperca chuatsi FST sequence, with which it also has the closest evolutionary relationship according to a phylogenetic study. Omnipresent distribution of RbFST transcripts were detected in the gill, liver, spleen, head kidney, kidney, skin, muscle, heart, brain, and intestine of healthy animals, with significantly higher expression levels in the heart, followed by the liver tissue. Under pathogenic stress caused by two bacterial pathogens, Streptococcus iniae and Edwardsiella tarda, RbFST transcription was found to be significantly up-regulated. Altogether, our findings suggest the putative role of RbFST in immune related responses against pathogenic infections, further prefiguring its significance in rock bream physiology.

The chemical composition and molecular weight characteristics of dissolved organic matter (DOM) exert a profound influence on the efficiency of organic matter removal in water treatment systems, acting as efficiency predictive indicators. This research evaluated the primary chemical and molecular weight properties of DOM derived from diverse sources, including rivers, lakes, and biomasses, and assessed their relationship with the efficiency of coagulation/flocculation treatments. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) removal efficiency through coagulation/flocculation exhibited significant correlations with DOM's hydrophobic distribution, the ratio of humic-like to protein-like fluorescence, and the molecular weight associated with humic substances (HS). These findings suggest that the DOC removal rate in coagulation/flocculation processes is enhanced by a higher presence of HS in DOM, an increased influence of externally sourced DOM, and more presence of high molecular weight compounds. The results of this study further posit that the efficacy of water treatment processes can be more accurately predicted when considering multiple DOM characteristics rather than relying on a singular trait. Based on major results from this study, a predictive model for DOC removal efficiency by coagulation/flocculation was formulated as: 24.3 - 7.83 × (fluorescence index) + 0.089 × (hydrophilic distribution) + 0.102 × (HS molecular weight). This proposed model, coupled with supplementary monitoring of influent organic matter, has the potential to enhance the design and predictive accuracy for coagulation/flocculation treatments targeting DOC removal in future applications.
