Efficient defluorination of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) was achieved by integrating UV irradiation and $Fe^{2+}$ activation of persulfate ($S_2O{_8}^{2-}$). It was found that the UV-$Fe^{2+}$, $Fe^{2+}-S_2O{_8}^{2-}$, and UV-$S_2O{_8}^{2-}$ processes caused defluorination efficiency of 6.4%, 1.6% and 23.2% for PFOA at pH 5.0 within 5 h, respectively, but a combined system of UV-$Fe^{2+}-S_2O{_8}^{2-}$ dramatically promoted the defluorination efficiency up to 63.3%. The beneficial synergistic behavior between $Fe^{2+}-S_2O{_8}^{2-}$ and UV-$S_2O{_8}^{2-}$ was demonstrated to be dependent on $Fe^{2+}$ dosage, initial $S_2O{_8}^{2-}$ concentration, and solution pH. The decomposition of PFOA resulted in generation of shorter-chain perfluorinated carboxylic acids (PFCAs), formic acid and fluoride ions. The generated PFCAs intermediates could be further defluorinated by adding supplementary $Fe^{2+}$ and, $S_2O{_8}^{2-}$ and re-adjusting solution pH in later reaction stage. The much enhanced PFOA defluorination in the UV-$Fe^{2+}-S_2O{_8}^{2-}$ system was attributed to the fact that the simultaneous employment of UV light and $Fe^{2+}$ not only greatly enhanced the activation of $S_2O{_8}^{2-}$ to form strong oxidizing sulfate radicals ($SO{_4}^{\cdot-}$), but also provided an additional decarboxylation pathway caused by electron transfer from PFOA to in situ generated $Fe^{3+}$.

The impact of sodium hydroxide, which is one of chemicals of clean in place (CIP) for removing membrane fouling, on the PVDF membrane is reviewed with respect to physical/chemical structural change, the permeability affected therefrom. Based on the cleaning concentration applied in membrane water treatment facilities, 10% of accumulated defluorination was confirmed up to 166g.hr/L which reflects the exposure time. However, membrane resistance was confirmed to be reduced by about 10%. Through FT-IR and EDS analysis, reduction of F and change of are confirmed as factors that affect the permeability of membrane. Membrane resistance, which affects permeability, is affected by loss of additives for hydrophilicity, rather than defluorination of PVDF material. Therefore, in order to check membrane degradation degree, an accelerated test by NaOH was carried out, loss of additives was confirmed, and then PVDF inherent characteristic was observed.

Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) powder was treated with aqueous sodium hydroxide to obtain partially defluorinated fluoropolymers with expected properties such as improving hydrophilicity and fouling resistance. Raman spectrum and FT-IR results confirmed the existence of conjugated carbon double bonds after alkaline treatment. As the concentration increased, the degree of defluorination increased. The morphology and structure of membranes were examined. The permeation performance was investigated. The results showed that membrane's hydrophilicity increased with increase of the percentage of alkaline treated PVDF powder. Moreover, in terms of the water contact angle, it decreased from $92^{\circ}$ to a minimum of $68^{\circ}$; while water up take increased from 128 to 138%. Fluxof pure water and the cleaning efficiency increased with the increase of alkaline treated PVDF powder. The fouling potential also decreased with the increase of the percentage of alkaline treated PVDF powder. The reason that makes blending PVDF show different characteristics because of partial defluorination, which led the formation of conjugated C = C bonds and the inclusion of oxygen functionalities. The polyene structure followed by hydroxide attack to yield hydroxyl and carbonyl groups. Therefore, the hydrophilicity of blending membrane was improved. The SEM and porosity measurements showed that no obvious variations of the pore dimensions and structures for blend membranes were observed. Mechanical tests suggest that the high content of the alkaline treated PVDF result in membranes with less tolerance of tensile stress and higher brittleness. TGA results exhibited that the blend of alkaline treated PVDF did not change membrane thermal stability.

Photochemical defluorination and substitution of fluorocarbon-resin surfaces using a pulsed Nd:YAG laser(266 nm) and copper-sulfate$(CuSO_4)$ aqueous solution were discussed. Interface of copper nuclei and fluorocabon-resin was chemically bonded through oxygen which was photodissociated from water in copper-sulfate aqueous solution under the laser irradiation. The reaction mechanism for chemical surface modification is discussed on the basis of x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and atomic force microscope analyses.

Low temperature plasma treatment with different gases and rf powers were performed to improve the adhesion strength between polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE) and electroless deposited copper. According to the research, $H_2$ plasma having hydrogen radical was more effective in surface polarity modification than $O_2$ plasma due to the defluorination reaction. However, surface roughness of PTFE was more increased with $O_2$ than $H_2$ plasma. PTFE treated with $120W-O_2$ plasma and $250w-H_2$ plasma, consecutively showed rougher surface than single step $250w-H_2$ plasma treated one and more hydrophilic than single step $120W-O_2$ plasma treated one. And it showed 5B tape test grade, which is better adhesion property than 1B or 3B obtained by single step plasma treatment. In addition, adhesion strength between PTFE and Cu deposit is also deeply affected by residual water on its interface.

목적: 생쥐 간에서 분리한 S9 분획을 사용하여 방사성추적자의 대사물질을 측정함으로써 S9 분획이 새로운 방사성추적자의 대사물질 측정에 사용될 수 있는가를 평가하였다. 대상 및 방법 : 저자들에 의하여 체내 대사경로가 연구된 방사성추적자를 사용하였으며, 생쥐 간 S9 분획은 마이크로솜을 얻는 과정에서 생쥐의 간으로부터 얻어졌다. 체외 대사물질 측정방법을 방사성추적자에 S9 분획과 NADPH를 넣고 $37^{\circ}C$에서 반응하였으며 해당하는 시간대에 반응용액의 일부를 취하여 대사물질을 방사능 TLC로 측정하였다. 대사로 인한 탈불소화는 뼈 모사물질인 인산칼슘과 반응하여 흡착 정도를 측정함으로써 확인하였다. 결과: S9 분획을 사용한 체외 대사물질 측정방법에서 방사성추적자 $[^{18}F]1$은 대사로 인한 탈불소화가 일어나 15분 이내에 거의 모두 $[^{18}F]$ 플루오라이드 이온으로 대사되었다. 이 결과는 동일한 방사성추적자를 사용하여 저자들이 보고한 체내방법 및 마이크로솜을 사용한 체외방법에서 얻은 결과와 일치하였다. 방사성추적자 $[^{18}F]2$는 60분 이내에 모두 대사되었으며, $4-[^{18}F]$플루오로벤조산을 포함한 3개의 대사물질이 확인되었다. 이 중에서 원점에 위치한 대사물질은 체내방법 및 마이크로솜을 사용한 체외 대사물질 측정방법에서 얻은 대사물질과 일치하였다. 마이크로솜을 사용한 체외방법에서 얻은 결과와 비교할 때 대사물질을 유사하였으나 대사물질들의 비율은 상이하였으며, 이 결과는 S9 분획에 있는 세포질의 영향으로 여겨진다. 결론: S9 분획을 사용한 체외 대사물질 측정법은 체내의 간 대사물질을 예측하는데 매우 유용성이 크며, 특히 대사로 인한 탈불소화를 추적하는 데는 인산칼슘을 이용한 흡착법과 함께 높은 신뢰성을 갖는 것이 확인되었다. 각 횡단면에 대한 랜덤계수율, 산란계수율, NECR을 구하였다. 결과: 스캐너의 중심에서 1 cm 벗어난 지점에서 횡축방향, 축방향 공간분해능은 (1) 5.3, 6.5 mm (FBP), (2) 5.1, 5.9 mm (3D RAMLA)이었다. 횡단면의 중심에서 10 cm 벗어난 지점에서 횡축반경방향, 횡축접선방향, 축방향 공간분해능은 (1) 5.7, 5.7, 7.0 mm (FBP), (2) 5.4, 5.4, 6.4 mm (3D RAMLA)이었다. 감쇠매질이 없는 이상적인 상황에서의 민감도는 횡단면의 중심에서 3,620 counts/sec/MBq, 횡단면의 중심에서 10 cm 벗어난 지점에서 4,324 counts/sec/MBq이었다. 산란분획은 40.6%, 최대 참계수율과 최대 NECR은 각각 88.9 kcps @ 12.9 kBq/mL, 34.3 kcps @ 8.84 kBq/mL이었다. 결론: 이 실험에서 NEMA NU2-2001을 이용해 GSO 섬광결정을 사용해 제작된 PET/CT에 대한 성능 평가를 실시하였다. 이는 BGO, LSO 섬광결정을 사용해 제작된 PET 스캐너의 특성과 비교할 수 있는 자료를 제공하며 PET 영상 획득 시 객관적 평가와 분석에 유용하였다.tinning 시간은 20분 이상(20-35분)을 유지하고, 가능한 rotating invertor를 사용하는 것이 좋을 것으로 생각된다.KC $\varepsilon$이 K562(Adr)세포에서 많이 발현되었으나, K562와 K562(Adr)세포에서는 verapamil처리에 따른 PKC 아형의 변화는 없었다. 결론: Verapamil은 암세포의 종류에 따라 MIBI와 TF의 섭취를 감소시켰고, 고용량에는 MDR세포의 섭취도 감소시켰으며 이러한 현상은 세포독성 이나 PKC효소 아형과는 관련이 없었다. 그러므로 MDR의 진단시 verapamil을 처치에 따른 MIBI와 TF의 섭취 정도를 기준으로 하는
