A process of organically bound germanium preparation was developed for healthy food using inorganic germanium adapted Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Adaptations of Saccharomyces cerevisiae against inorganic germanium were successively carried out through stepwise increase of GeO$_{2}$ concentration in order to produce high quantities of germanium bound yeast. Productivity of yeast and quantities of germanium in yeast were obtained 70.2 g/l and 9780 ppm, repectively, when adapted yeast and fed batch culture were used. Germanium taken-up yeast is to be organically bound germanium by evidence of no difference of germanium content after dialysis.

The purpose of this study was evaluated physiological activity effect of organic germanium in culture broth of germanium-fortified Tricholoma matsutake mycelium and germanium-fortified yeast. Proliferation Tricholoma matsutake mycelium and yeast was inhibited by addition of germanium. Contents of organic germanium in Tricholoma matsutake mycelium and yeast was increased in dose-dependent manner. And low concentration(1,000 ppm) of germanium in mycelium was almost changed organic germanium. In the result of antioxidant activity as SOD-like activity, contents of total polyphenol compound and electron donating ability, activity of germanium-fortified Tricholoma matsutake mycelium was higher than that of germanium-fortified yeast. To evaluate of antitumor effects in vitro, we examined nitric oxide production of Raw 264,7 cell and cytotoxicity of HT1080 cell by MTT assay. Nitric oxide production of germanium-fortified Tricholoma matsutake mycelium was shown low level in low concentration(1,000 ppm) than other groups. The anticancer effect of germanium-fortified Tricholoma matsutake mycelium on HT 1080 cell was indicated a strong inhibitory effect in low concentration(1,000 ppm). These results suggest that organic germanium in culture broth of germanium-fortified Tricholoma matsutake mycelium has valuable physiological activities as antioxidant and anticancer effect, and it was higher than that of germanium-fortified yeast.

New low temperature synthesis of germanium nanoparticles obtained from the reaction of germanium tetrachloride and sodium/benzophenonewere developed. These germanium nanoparticles terminated with chloride group were oxidized in air to give hydroxy-terminated germanium nanoparticles. Germanium nanoparticle containing 20(S)-camptothecin (CPT) for a noble drug delivery system were developed. FT-IR spectroscopy was used for the characterization of vibrational absorption for the germanium nanoparticle and oxidized germanium nanoparticles containing camptothecin. Electronic absorption and fluorescence properties were measured with UV-Vis and fluorescence spectrometer. The morphology of oxidized germanium nanoparticles containing camptothecin was investigated by using TEM.

The growth inhibitory effect of germanium, or soybean sprouts cultured with germanium, on cancer cells was determined in the cultured gastric cancer cell line, AGS. The growth of AGS was significantly inhibited by the addition of 0.01-1％ organic germanium (Ge-132) and germanium stone powder in MTT cytotoxicity assays. The juice from germanium treated soybean sprouts (GTS) inhibited the growth of AGS gastric cancer cells by 78-88％ at concentrations of 2.5 or 5${\mu}\ell$. The juice from Seomoktae GTS revealed an especially higher growth inhibitory effect than that from the control soybean sprouts (germanium non-treated soybean sprouts, GNTS) in AGS. The results suggest that soybean sprouts cultured with germanium may exert an anticancer effect against gastric cancer cells.

The characteristics of absorption and accumulation of inorganic germanium in Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer were examined. In 4-year-old P. ginseng, the germanium content of the field soil increased with increased amounts and frequencies of inorganic germanium application, while chemical components of the soil, such as available phosphate and exchangeable calcium, potassium, and magnesium, decreased with the increased inorganic germanium application. In the 4-year-old P. ginseng, the germanium content was highest in the rhizome and increased in the order of stem, leaf, lateral root, and main root, suggesting that inorganic germanium was absorbed from the root and translocated to the stem and leaf via the rhizome. As for changes in ginsenosides in 4-year-old P. ginseng rhizomes, the contents of ginsenosides $Rb_1$, $Rb_2$, Re, and Rf decreased as the germanium content in soil increased. Ginsenosides $Rb_1$, $Rb_2$, Rc, Re, and Rf in the main root also decreased with increasing germanium content in the main root. The results suggest that inorganic germanium treatment may increase organic germanium in harvested P. ginseng, thus enhancing the medicinal effi cacy of ginseng products.

본 논문에서는 게르마늄 응축 공정을 모델링하고 공정을 적용한 나노와이어 구조의 게르마늄 PMOSFET의 특성을 소자 시뮬레이션을 통하여 확인하였다. 기존의 연구 결과들을 토대로 하여 모델링을 수행한 결과, 게르마늄 응축 공정 과정에서 얻게 되는 벌크 영역에서의 게르마늄 농도($C_B$)에 대한 실리콘 게르마늄-실리콘 산화막 계면에서의 게르마늄 농도의 비율($C_S$)은 약 4.03, 해당 공정 온도에서 게르마늄 원자의 유효 확산 계수($D_{eff}$)은 약 $3.16nm^2/s$으로 추출되었다. 나아가, 게르마늄 응축 공정을 통하여 구현할 수 있는 실리콘 코어 상에 얇은 게르마늄 채널을 갖는 나노와이어 채널 구조의 PMOSFET을 설계하고 성능을 분석하였다. 이를 통하여, 전영역을 실리콘으로 혹은 게르마늄으로 하는 채널을 갖는 소자에 비하여 실리콘 코어-게르마늄 채널의 동축 이종접합 채널을 갖는 소자가 우수한 특성을 가질 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The study was conducted to identify the anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects in sprouts of mouse-eyed bean (Rhynchosia nulubilis), ginseng (Panax ginseng), perilla (Perilla frutescens), broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica), and lettuce (Lactuca sativa) grown with organic germanium concentrate. Western blot analysis was performed to assess the anti-inflammatory activity of the extract. All extracts exhibited noticeable anti-oxidant activity, indicating a significant correlation between the germanium content and anti-oxidant activity (p<0.05). In particular, rat-eyed bean sprouts with the highest germanium content showed significant anti-inflammatory activity (p<0.05) by significantly inhibiting the expression of the inflammatory complexes, NLRP3, cytokines IL-1β and caspase-1. Ginseng and broccoli sprouts showed strong anti-cancer properties and had high anti-oxidant effects (p<0.001). Germanium-concentrated water allows the mass production of agricultural products containing high concentrations of organic germanium. Agricultural produce grown with germanium concentrate add organic germanium to various physiological active ingredients, increasing the anti-oxidant and anti-cancer effects. These results strongly suggest that agricultural products containing high germanium concentrations can be used as novel health supplements to improve health.

지하수 중의 극미량 germanium을 ICP-MS로 신속, 정확하게 분석할 수 있었으며 질량수 74를 분석하는 것이 가장 방해영향이 적음을 알 수 있었다. 지하수 중의 약 30%만이 $0.1{\mu}g/L$ 이상의 germanium을 함유하였고, 유기 germanium을 포함하는 지하수의 존재도 확인하였다.

Germanium(IV)-Morin 착물에 대한 네모파 양극벗김 전압전류법적 연구를 0.5 M 황산 지지전해질에서 수행하였다. Germanium(IV)-Morin 착물의 피크전위는 - 0.606 V vs. Ag/AgCl에서 나타났다. Germanium(IV)-Morin 착물의 피크전류 크기에 미치는 지지전해질의 황산 농도, Morin의 농도, 축적전위 및 축적시간의 의존성 등에 대하여 논의하였다. 또한, Germanium(IV)-Morin 착물의 피크전류 크기에 영향을 주는 금속 양이온들의 방해효과도 조사하였다. 이 방법을 적용시켜 축적시간을 60초로 하였을 때 Germanium(IV)의 검출한계는 $3.76{\times}10^{-7}M(27 {\mu}g/L)$ 이었으며, 0.4 mg/L($5.5{\times}10^{-6}$ M)의 Germanium(IV) 분석에 대한 상대표준편차(n=8)는 3.2% 이었다.
