Fentanyl-loaded biodegradable poly(L-lactide-co-glycolide) (75 : 25 by mole ratio of lactide to glycolide, PLGA) microspheres (MSs) were prepared to study the possibility for long-acting local anesthesia. We developed the fentanyl base (FB, slightly water-soluble)-loaded PLGA MSs by means of conventional O/W solvent evaporation method. The size of MSs was in the range of 10~150 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The morphology of MSs was characterized by SEM, and the in vitro release amounts of FB were analyzed by HPLC. The lowest porous cross-sectional morphology and the highest encapsulation efficiency were obtained by using gelatin as an emulsifier. The influences of several preparation parameters, such as emulsifier types, molecular weights and concentrations of PLGA, and initial drug loading amount, etc., have been observed in the release patterns of FB. The release of FB in vitro was more prolonged over 25 days, with close to zero-order pattern by controlling the preparation parameters. We also investigated the physicochemical properties of FB-loaded PLGA MSs by X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimeter.

The main objective of this work is to prepare Rehmannia glutinosa extract (RE) incorporated functional chitosan (CH) based biomaterials and evaluate their physical properties, RE release properties, inhibitory effect of melanogenesis, and antioxidant and elastase inhibitory activities. RE incorporated CH based biomaterials were synthesized by a casting method and UV curing process. The surface and cross sections of prepared biomaterials were characterized by a field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM). The physical properties such as tensile strength and elongation at break were also investigated. To apply the transdermal drug delivery system, RE release properties were examined with pH 4.5, 5.5, and 6.5 buffer solutions and artificial skin test at 36.5 ℃. Results indicated that RE release of RE incorporated biomaterials with/without the addition of plasticizers [glycerol (GL) and citric acid (CA)] at pH 6.5 was about 1.10 times higher than that of at pH 4.5. In addition, results of the artificial skin test verified that RE was released constantly for 6 h. To verify the applicability of the prepared biomaterials, tyrosinase, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), and elastase assays were investigated. Results indicated that RE incorporated biomaterials added CA exhibited tyrosinase activation, DPPH radical scavenging activity rate, and elastase activation of 45.12, 89.40, and 59.94%, respectively.

Liposomes, which can deliver payload at target site, have been studied as drug carrier. However, conventional liposomes have limitation for drug release at target site. Therefore, we developed hydroxyapatite (HA) coated ultrasound sensitive liposomes to increase drug release at target site and to enhance stability in blood stream. Control liposome was prepared using hydrogenated soy phosphatidylcholine (HSPC) and cholesterol, and then we assessed HA coating on the surface of control liposomes using calcium acetate, phosphoric acid, and 25% ammonium solution. Doxorubicin was used as a model drug. Size of HA coated liposomes was 120 nm and encapsulation efficiency of doxorubicin in liposomes was up to 95%. Size of HA coated liposomes are not changed in 30% serum solution, however, the control liposomes was 1.4 fold increased. After ultrasound triggered drug release from liposomes, intracellular efficiency of drug released from HA coated liposomes was 3 fold increased compared to control liposomes. In this study, we developed ultrasound sensitive liposomes to enhance drug release, which will be applied in controlled drug release at disease site.

The occurrence of an inclined edge crack in transversely piezoelectric material is analyzed. Concentrated antiplane mechanical and inplane electrical loads are applied at the boundary and crack surface, respectively. The crack surfaces are assumed to be impermeable to the electric field. Using the Mellin transform with the introduction of a generalized displacement vector, the problem is formulated, and the Wiener-Hopf equation is derived. By solving the equation, the solution is obtained in a closed form. The intensity factors of the stress, the electric displacement, and the energy release rate are obtained for any crack length and inclination angle. These solutions can be used as fundamental solutions and can be superimposed to represent any arbitrary electromechanical loading.

고분자 절연재료의 결함에 의하여 발생하는 부분방전은 고분자 재료의 화학적, 전기적 열화를 가져오며 때로는 전기 트리로 성장하여 재료의 절연파괴에 이르게 하기도 한다. 따라서 부분 방전 현상의 메카니즘 뿐만 아니라 측정법에 대한 많은 연구들이 있었으나 부분방전 열화가 고분자 재료에 미치는 열화과정에 대하여서는 명확한 메카니즘이 보고되지 않았다. 본 논문에서는 부분방전에 의한 고분자 절연재료 내의 공간전하 축적 현상에 대하여 연구하였다. 고분자 재료로는 현재 전력용 케이블에 주로 사용되고 있는 가교 폴리에틸렌(XLPE)를 사용하였으며, 1kHz의 주파수로6kV, 8kV, 10kv 및 11kV로 수시간 부분방전을 발생시킨 후 펄스정전응력법(PEA)으로 공간전하를 측정하였다. 실험결과 부분방전에 의하여 고분자 재료 내에 이종공간전하의 주입이 확인되었으며 따라서 부분방전에 의하여 고분자 재료가 열화되며 이러한 열화에 의한 전자의 방출율의 변화와 같은 고분자 표면의 상태 변화에 의하여 부분방전의 패턴에 지배적인 영향을 미친다. 이러한 공간전하의 축적에 의하여 부분방전 현상에 미치는 영향은 추후 보고할 예정이다.

플라즈마 화상표시기 (PDP)의 보호막 물질로 사용 중인 다결정 MgO의 특성을 개선하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 MgO에 희토류계 원소를 치환하여 제조하였으며, 치환량에 따른 MgO 보호막의 광학적 특성과 전기적 특성을 고찰하였다. MgO + 100 ppm $Gd_2O_3$조성으로 제작한 MgO 박막의 이차전자 방출계수 값이 순수 MgO 보다 35% 높게 나타났다. $Gd_2O_3$ dopant가 100 ppm 첨가시까지 밀도가 증가하였으나, 그 이상 첨가시 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다. 가속전압 200 V에서 이차전자 방출계수는 0.138 이었고 표면거칠기는 5.77 nm 이었으며 투과율은 550 nm 에서 95.76% 이었다.

현재 PDP(Plasma Display Panel) 투명유전체층은 PbO 계열을 사용하고 있으나 제조공정 시 다량의 중금속 페기물이 방출됨에 따라 환경오염을 야기시킴으로 무연조성이며 저온소성이 가능한 저융점유리인 인산염계 유리에 대한 열적, 화학적, 광학적 특성에 대해 체계적인 연구가 진행되었다. 광학적 특성을 위 한 승온속도, 소성온도, 유지시간의 변화 그리고, 프릿 입도에 따른 광 투광성, 기포의 형성, 그리고 기포의 분포특성을 연구하였다. 열적특성은 DTA와 TMA를 이용하여 유리전이점(Tg) 및 선팽창계수(CTE)와 Littleton softning point (Ts)가 측정되었다. 광학적특성은 스크린프린팅법으로 후막 제조 후 소성하여 UV-visible spectrometer을 이용하여 300~800nm영역에서 투광성을 측정하였으며, FEG-SEM, AFM을 이용해 표면을 관찰하였다. 결과로써, Tg는 440-46$0^{\circ}C$ 와 CTE는 7~8.5$\times$$10^{-6}$K값을 보였고 높은 화학적 내구성과 60-80%의 광투과율을 나타내었다. 프릿의 미세화, 숭온속도의 감소는 기포의 생성을 줄이는데 효과를 보였으며, 그 결과 양호한 광투과율을 얻을 수 있었다. 이러한 결과에 따르면, P$_2$O$_{5}$-ZnO-RO 조성은 PDP용 투명유전체 조성으로써 기존의 PbO계열을 대체할만한 새로운 조성으로 고려된다.

For an accurate prediction of the temperature field induced by heated water discharged into a shallow crossflow, a two-dimensional near-field numerical model is developed. It is based on a 4-equation turbulence model in which the transport equations for mean of the temperature fluctuation squared and its dissipation rate are added to those of a 2-equation turbulence model which cannot give the information of the thermal time scale ratio. Vertical diffusion is also considered by including buoyancy production and turbulence heat flux terms. The developed model is applied to a steady flow in an open channel with simple geometry and the results are compared with existing experimental data and those of the already established 2-equation turbulence model. Numerical results of the model agree with the experimental data better than those of the 2-equation model. The present model also simulates quite adequately the physical characteristics of thermal discharge in the jet entrainment and stable regions.

Purpose Yttrium-90 (Y-90) is high-energy beta emitters ($E{\beta}$, max = 2.28 MeV) with the mean penetration depth of 2.5 mm in tissue. Radioactive microspheres containing Y-90 is widely used for the transarterial radioembolization of hepatocellular carcinoma. However, bremsstrahlung radiation from Y-90 can cause the external radiation exposure to medical staff who handle the Y-90 microspheres. In this study, shielding device for Y-90 microspheres was developed to minimize the external radiation exposure. Materials and Methods Y-90 microsphere shielding device was made from 6 mm thicknesses of tungsten including the lead glass window. Radiation shielding ability of Y-90 microsphere shielding device was evaluated using 4 GBq of $SIR-Spheres^{(R)}$ Y-90 microspheres. The bremsstrahlung radiation was measured using radiation survey meter. Results The mean radiation dose of Y-90 microspheres in acrylic shield was $261.7{\pm}2.3{\mu}Sv/h$ (n=5) at 10 cm away from the shield. With the additional tungsten shielding device, it was $23.7{\pm}1.3{\mu}Sv/h$ (n=5). Thus, the bremsstrahlung radiation dose was decreased by 90.9%. At 50 cm away from the shield, bremsstrahlung radiation was reduced by 89.2% after using tungsten shielding device. Conclusion During the preparation and radioembolization of Y-90 microsphere, medical staff are exposed to external radiation. In this study, we demonstrated that the use of tungsten shielding device devices significantly reduced the amount of bremsstrahlung radiation. Y-90 microsphere tungsten shielding device can be highly effective in reducing the bremsstrahlung radiation.
