  • 각종 동물 및 인체 신장 유래 DHP-I에 의한 DA-1131, imipenem(IPM) 및 meropenem(MEPM)의 속도 상수를 측정한 결과, DA-1131은 동물종에 관계없이 가장 안정성이 큰 결과를 나타내었고, 인체 DHP-I에 대한 Vmax/Km 값이 IPM의 21.9%로 관찰되어 IPM보다 하위 기질인 것으로 확인되었다. DA-1131, IPM/CS 및 MEPM/CS의 20mg/kg투여 후의 혈중농도 반감기(T$_{1}$2/)는 각각 11.4분, 8.9분, 10.3분이었으며, 1$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ 이상의 혈중농도룰 유지하는 시간은 66.6 분, 55.9 분, 63.1 분이었다. DA-1131, DA-l131/CS, IPM/CS, MEPM 및 MEPM/CS의 40 mg/kg 투여 후 24시간 동안의 뇨중 배설율은 57.9 %, 61.3%, 22.6 %, 11.3% 및 65.9%이었으며, 각 약물을 40 mg/kg 투여 15분 후 DA-ll3l의 폐중 농도는 11.2$\mu\textrm{g}$/g으로 DA-l131/CS, IPM/CS 및 MEPM/CS와 비슷한 결과를 나타내었으며 T/P ratio도 DA-1131, DA-l131/CS, IPM/CS 와 MEPM/CS 투여군에서 거의 동일한 것으로 확인되었다. 신장중 농도는 DA-1131 과 DA-l131/CS의 경우 29.l$\mu\textrm{g}$/g 및 34.2$\mu\textrm{g}$/g으로 큰 차이를 나타내지 않았으나, IPM/CS, MEPM 및 MEPM/CS 투여군에 비하여는 높은 결과로 나타났고 T/P ratio도 DA-1131과 DA-l131/CS 투여군이 IPM/CS, MEPM 및 MEPM/CS 투여군보다 놓은 것으로 확인되었다.

  • 1, 흰쥐에서 IPM 단독투여시보다 DHP-I 저해제인 CS와의 병용투여시 AUC가 4배 이상, t$_{1}$2/가 약 3배 증가하였으며 MEPM의 경우는 AUC가 5배 이상, t$_{1}$2/가 약 1.8배 증가하였다. 2. Guinea pig에서 IPM 단독투여시보다 CS와의 병용투여시 AUC가 약 2.5배, t$_{1}$2/가 약 1.4배 증가하였으며 MEPM의 경우는 AUC, t$_{1}$2/ 모두 거의 변함이 없었다. 3. 위의 결과 흰쥐에서 IPM과 MEPM에 대한 CS의 영향이 매우 큰 것으로 나타났으며 따라서 약물동력학적인 파라메타에도 커다란 변화를 주었다. 반대로 Guinea Pig에서는 CS의 병용투여로 IPM의 AUC에만 변동을 주었을 뿐 t$_{l}$ 2/에는 크게 영향을 미치지 않았고 MEPM의 체내동태에는 거의 영향을 미치지 않았다. 4. Guinea pig에서 전체 투여량에 대한 MEPM의 요중회수율은 66.58$\pm$3.44%이었고 IPM의 경우는 7.00$\pm$0.95%이었다. 그러나 DHP-I 저해제인 CS와의 병용투여시 IPM의 요중회수율이 57.77$\pm$11.46%로 증가하여 MEPM과 거의 비슷한 양상을 나타냈다. 이는 guinea pig에서 DHP-I에 의한 IPM의 대사가 CS에 의해 차단됨을 시사하는 것이라고 사료되며 guinea pig에 존재하는 DHP-I은 MEPM보다 IPM에 대해 더 높은 친화도를 갖는 것으로 사료된다. 5. Carbapenem계 항생제의 약물동력학적 스크리닝을 위한 소동물로는 흰쥐보다도 guinea pig가 적합한 것으로 생각되나 동물종차에 의한 약물동력학적 연구 및 DHP-I의 활성에 대한 연구가 더 면밀히 이루어져야 할 것으로 생각되며 BO-2727, panipenem, biapenem 등 다른 carbapenem 항생제에 대한 광범위한 약물동력학적 연구가 진행되어 새로운 carbapenem계 항생제 개발에 따른 인체내 거동을 예측할 수 있는 치적의 실험동물모델이 확립되어야 할 것이다.

  • Weighted committed dose equivalents($W_T\;H_{50}$) per intake of unit activity of four nuclides-I-131, I-133, Cs-134 and Cs-137-, which was based on the concepts of ICRP Pub. 30, are calculated for adult who is 70 kg and 25 years old and, for infant who is 10 kg and 1 year old. Metabolism of iodine taken through oral or inhalation pathway is described by using the three-compartment model which consists of inorganic, thyroid and organic compartment. After intake, the amount of iodine in every compartment is calculated by solving the transfer equations among the these compartments. As soon as caesium is taken into the body, it is distributed uniformly in the body through the transfer compartment. In this case, the amount of caesium in total body is calculated by using the total body compartment model which is divided into two tissue compartments because of their different biological half-lifes of caesium in body. As a result of calculations, whether oral or inhalation pathway, the values of ($W_T\;H_{50}$) per intake of unit activity of I-131 for infants are about ten times as much as those of adults. On the other hand, for Cs-134 and Cs-137, the values of $W_T\;H_{50}$ per intake of unit activity show that, whether adults of infants, they have almost the same values.

  • Previous studies to elucidate the etiology of cyclosporine(Cs)-induced gingival overgrowth in children have not completely excluded all factors that may cause differences among individuals. This study examined the effect of cyclosporine on the metabolism of type 1 collagen(CoL-I) in experimental models that controlled the effects of biological variations on individuals. Five 5-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were administered Cs by gastric feeding for 6 weeks. Gingival specimens were harvested from the mandibular posterior area before beginning Cs administration and at 2, 4, and 6 weeks thereafter. Gingival fibroblasts were cultured from all the 20 biopsies collected from the gingiva. Half of the fibroblasts collected prior to the Cs administration were designated as Control. The other half of the fibroblasts were treated with Cs in vitro and called in vitro test group(Tt). The fibroblasts collected 2, 4, and 6 weeks after the Cs administration were called in vivo test groups : T2, T4, T6, respectively. Immunofluorescence microscopy was used to detect CoL-I in all the fibroblasts. CoL-I was analyzed at both the gene and protein expression levels by real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blotting. Changes in CoL-I before and after Cs treatment were evaluated from the gingiva of each rat. There was no significant difference in gene expression of CoL-I in the control and test groups. CoL-I protein expression levels of fibroblasts increased in in vitro Cs treatment for each individual, and also increased in in vivo Cs treatment. In this study, the experimental method that control biological variations that can occur due to differences among individuals was useful. Subsequent studies on other factors besides CoL-I and in-depth studies in humans are needed.

  • Cesium-133 NMR spectra of a single crystal of tetragonal $Cs^+ (15-crown-5)_2I^-$ were obtained as a function of crystal orientation in an applied magnetic field of 9.40T and analyzed to provide the magnitudes and orientations of the $^{133}Cs$ chemical shift and quadrupolar tensors for two magnetically nonequivalent and symmetry related sites. Chemical shift tensor components and parameters of quadrupolar interactions are obtained as ${\delta}_{11}=46(1),\;{\delta}_{22}=60(1),\;{\delta}_{33}=-30(1)$ ppm, quadrupole coupling constant QCC = 581(1) kHz, and asymmetry parameter ${\eta}$ = 0.481(1), respectively. The nonaxially symmetric NMR parameters imply that the local environment of the cesium nuclei is nonaxially symmetric. The DANTE experiment burned holes in the $^{133}Cs$ NMR line of the title compound. The hole burning of the single crystal and powder $^{133}Cs$ NMR lines showed that the NMR lines are not homogeneously broadened.

  • Teaching and learning are one of the major issues during this pandemic (COVID-19). Since the pandemic started, there are many changes in teaching and learning styles as everything related to studies started online. Game-Based Learning has got remarkable importance in the educational system and pedagogy as an effective way of increasing student inspiration and engagement. In this field, most of the work has been carried out in digital games. This research uses an Animated Game-Based Learning design in enhancing student engagement and perception of learning. In teaching Computer Science (CS) concepts in higher education, to enhance the pedagogy activities in CS concepts, more specifically the concepts of "Data Structures (DS)" i.e., Array, Stack, and Queue concepts are focused. This study aims to observe the difference in students' learning with the use of different learning methods i.e., the traditional learning (TL) method and the Animated Game-Based Learning (AGBL) Method. The experimental results show that learning DS concepts has been improved by the AGBL method as compared to the TL method.

  • The energy spectra in the air and water of several ${\gamma}-ray$ sources such as Cr-51, Cs-137, Mn-54, Zn-65 have been investigated using the NaI(T1) scintillation detector. General response functions, which can curve fit the measured spectra, have been constructed. We have found that the constructed response functions can successfully represent the measured spectra in the water as well as in the air, It is possible, by comparing the relevant parameters of the response functions, to quantitatively characterize the changing features of the measured spectra as obtained with varying the water depth. Of the response function parameters, those which affect the shape of the full-energy Peak have most notably changed. Besides, those parameters which affect the shapes of the flat continuum, the Compton continuum and edge have also shown slight changes with varying the water depth.

  • New quadruply-bridged calix[6]arenes (I-V) have been studied as cesium selective ionophores in poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) membrane electrodes. PVC membranes were prepared with dioctyl sebacate (DOS) or 2-nitrophenyl octyl ether (o-NPOE) as the sol vent mediator and potassium tetrakis(p-chlorophenyl)borate as the lipophilic salt additive. These ionophores produced electrodes with near-Nernstian slope. The selectivity coefficients for cesium ion with respect to alkali, alkaline earth and ammonium ions have been determined. The lowest detection limit (logaCs+ = -6.3) and the higher selectivity coefficient (logkpotCs+,Rb+ = -2.1 by SSM, -2.3 by FIM for calix[6]arene I) for Cs+ have been obtained for membranes containing quadruply-bridged calix[6]arenes (I, Ⅱ, Ⅲ), which have no para t-butyl substituents on the bridging benzene ring.
