To develop $^{131}I-labelled$ m-iodobeneylguanidine $(^{131}I-MIBG)$, various experiments such as synthesis of MIBG, establishment of labelling conditions, determination of radiochemical purity, and examination of stability were carried out. 1) m-Iodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) sulfate was synthesized with a total yield of 62.4% by the condensation of m-iodobenzylamine hydrochloride with cyanamide via MIBG bicarbonate. Its physical properties, IR, $^1H-NMR$, and elemental analysis data were nearly identical to those of literature. 2) Freeze-dried or vacuum-dried kit vials were prepared from the mixture so as to contain MIBG (2 mg), ascorbic acid (10 mg), copper (II) sulfate (0.14 mg), and tin (II) sulfate (0.5 mg) per vial. Copper ( I ) catalyzed radioiodination of MIBG was carried out using kit vials and 0.01 M $H_2SO_4$ as solvent at $100^{\circ}C$ for 30 min under nitrogen atmosphere (optimal conditions). Labelling yield was 98% and radiochemical purity was 99.5%, respectively. 3) Solid-phase radioiodination of MIBG was carried out at $155^{\circ}C$ for 30 min using the prepared vials to contain MIBG (2 mg) and ammonium sulfate (10 mg). Duplicate reactions under the same conditions showed labelling yield of 95% and radiochemical purity of 99.5%. 4) $^{131}I-MIBG$ prepared either by catalytic or by solid-phase exchange method showed radio-chemical purity of 99% even after 3 days storing at room temperature.

지용성 물질은 물에 용해되지 않아 수용액 효소반응계에서의 특정효과를 평가하기가 어렵다. 생체내에서 멜라닌을 합성하는 효소인 tyrosinase의 지용성 저해제를 탐색하고자 유기용매, 계면활성제 및 물로 구성된 광학적으로 투명한 RM을 도입하였다. Tyrosinase의 겉보기 반응이 물에서와 유사한 RM의 형성조건 중 유기용매는 isooctane, 계면활성제는 100 mM의 dioctyl sulfosuccinate(AOT)가 적절하였다. RM에서 물과 AOT의 몰 농도 비율이 15일 때 tyrosinase(103.5 units)는 기질인 3,4-dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine(0.18 mM)에 대하여 수용액에서와 유사한 거동을 나타내었다. 또한 tyrosinase 저해제인 cinnamic acid 존재 하에서도 tyrosinase 촉매 반응의 반응 생성물이 반응 시간에 비례하여 형성됨이 확인되어 지용성 물질도 RM에서는 tyrosinase 저해활성이 가능함을 시사하였다. 따라서 RM은 수용성인 효소와 기질 그리고 지용성인 저해제를 모두 하나의 상(phase)에 용해시킬 수 있어 지용성 물질의 tyrosinase 저해 효과를 분석할 수 있는 중요한 수단으로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다.

$BaSiO_3:RE^{3+}$ (RE = Sm or Eu) phosphor powders with different concentrations of activator ions are synthesized using the solid-state reaction method. The effects of the concentration of activator ions on the structural, photoluminescent, and morphological properties of the barium silicate phosphors are investigated. X-ray diffraction data reveals that the crystal structure of all the phosphors, regardless of the type and the concentration of the activator ions, is an orthorhombic system with a main (111) diffraction peak. The grain particles agglomerate together to form larger clusters with increasing concentrations of activator ions. The emission spectra of the $Sm^{3+}$-doped $BaSiO_3$ phosphors under excitation at 406 nm consist of an intense orange band at 604 nm and three weak bands centered at 567, 651, and 711 nm, respectively. As the concentration of $Sm^{3+}$ increases from 1 to 5 mol%, the intensities of all the emission bands gradually increase, reach maxima at 5 mol% of $Sm^{3+}$ ions, and then decrease significantly with further increases in the $Sm^{3+}$ concentration due to the concentration quenching phenomenon. For the $Eu^{3+}$-doped $BaSiO_3$ phosphors, a strong red emission band at 621 nm and several weak bands are observed. The optimal orange and red light emissions of the $BaSiO_3$ phosphors are obtained when the concentrations of $Sm^{3+}$ and $Eu^{3+}$ ions are 5 mol% and 15 mol%, respectively.

Objective: Methionine (Met) is involved in methyl group transfer besides protein synthesis. As the availability is limited and cost is high for synthetic Met, reductions in its inclusion in broiler diet may be possible by supplementing the low Met diets with methyl donors (MD) like betaine (Bet), folic acid (FA), vitamin B12 (B12), and biotin (Bio). An experiment was conducted to study the effects of supplementing the MD on performance (average daily gain [ADG], daily feed intake, feed efficiency [FE]), anti-oxidant variables, immune responses and serum protein concentration in broilers fed sub-optimal concentrations of dietary Met. Methods: Maize-soybean meal diet was used as control (CD). Different MD like Bet (0.2%), B12 (0.1 mg), FA (4 mg), or Bio (1.5 mg/kg) were supplemented to basal diet (BD) having no supplemental Met. The BD without MD was kept for comparison. Each diet was fed ad libitum to 10 replicates of 25 chicks in each from 1 to 42 d of age. Results: At the end of experiment, the ADG in MD group was higher than BD and lower than CD. The FE improved with FA or Bet compared to the BD. Breast meat weight was higher in Bet compared to the BD, while it was intermediate between BD and CD in other groups. The lipid peroxidation reduced with Bio, B12, or Bet, while the glutathione peroxidase activity improved with Bio or B12 compared to the BD. Lymphocyte proliferation improved with Bet compared to the BD. The serum protein concentrations increased with FA, Bio, or Bet compared to those fed BD. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the ADG can be improved partially with supplementation of MD while the FE improved with FA or Bet. Some MD also reduced the stress indices and improved immune responses compared to the BD fed broilers.

Extremophiles are unique microorganisms that are adapted to survive in ecological niches such as high or low temperatures, extremes of pH, high salt concentrations and high pressure. These unusual microorganisms have unique biochemical features which can be exploited for use in the biotechnological industries. Due to the high biodiversity of extremophilic archaea and bacteria and their existence in various biotopes a variety of biocatalysts with different physicochemical properties have been discovered. The extreme molecular stability of their enzymes, membranes and the synthesis of unique organic compounds and polymers make extremophiles interesting candidates for basic and applied research. Some of the enzymes from extremophiles, especially hyperthermophilic marine microorganisms (growth above $85^{\circ}C$), have already been purified in our laboratory. These include the enzyme systems from Pyrococcus, Pyrodictium, Thermococcus and Thermotoga sp. that are involved in polysacharide modification and protein bioconversion. Only recently, the genome of the thermoalkaliphilic strain. Anaerobranca gottschalkii has been completely sequenced providing a unique resource of novel biocatalysts that are active at high temperature and pH. The gene encoding the branching enzyme from this organism was cloned and expressed in a mesophilic host and finally characterized. A novel glucoamylase was purified from an aerobic archaeon which shows optimal activity at $90^{\circ}C$ and pH 2.0. This thermoacidophilic archaeon Picrophilus oshimae grows optimally at pH 0.7 and $60^{\circ}C$. Furthermore, we were able to detect thermoactive proteases from two anaerobic isolates which are able to hydrolyze feather keratin completely at $80^{\circ}C$ forming amino acids and peptides. In addition, new marine psychrophilic isolates will be presented that are able to secrete enzymes such as lipases, proteases and amylases possessing high activity below the freezing point of water.

Purpose: Zinc is involved in regulating homeostasis and metabolism in the body, and understanding these processes is important for estimating intake requirements. This review aimed to assist in setting the standards for Dietary Reference Intakes for Koreans (KDRIs, 2025) for zinc by examining specific factors associated with role of zinc in the body and using the factorial analysis method. Methods: We reviewed the zinc-specific factors that should be considered when setting the required zinc intake to maintain zinc homeostasis in the body and used the factorial analysis method for estimating zinc requirements for different population groups. Results: Factorial analysis involves estimating the required intake based on various factors that affect zinc metabolism and requirements. The key components and steps involved in determining the zinc dietary reference intake (DRI), particularly the estimated average requirement (EAR), include: 1) Estimating basal requirements, which involves calculating the amount of zinc needed to replace natural losses through the intestinal (feces) and non-intestinal (urine, skin and other body secretions) routes, 2) Accounting for the various biomarkers related to metabolic functions of zinc, 3) Considering physiological requirements for zinc, such as those for growth, development, pregnancy, and lactation since zinc is essential for DNA and protein synthesis, and 4) Estimating the dietary absorption rate of zinc. Conclusion: The factorial analysis for zinc requirement is based on scientific evidence and is tailored to meet the requirements of different population groups, ensuring optimal health and preventing deficiency. It includes considerations of physiological needs, dietary absorption, and population-specific characteristics.

$[^{18}F]$Fallypride는 뇌의 도파민(dopamine) $D_2/D_3$ 수용체 (receptor)에 특이적으로 결합하는 길항제(antagonist)로 대뇌피질의 도파민 기능을 규명하기 위하여 많이 사용되어지는 방사성의약품이다. 그동안 발표되어진 자동 합성화 장치를 이용한 [$^{18}F$]Fallypride 합성은 20~30%의 낮은 합성 수율과 33~63 GBq/mmol의 낮은 비방사능이 보고되어졌고, 또, 상대적으로 긴 표지시간과 높은 농도의 base를 사용하기 때문에 다양한 부산물이 생성되어 정제의 어려움이 있어 임상에 사용되기에 한계가 많았었다. 본 연구에서는 다목적 F-18 합성장치인 GE TracerLab $FX_{FN}$ 모듈을 사용하여 base 농도를 최소화할 수 있는 연구를 수행하였고, [$^{18}F$]fallypride 합성에 적용하여 높은 합성수율과 비방사능(specific activity) 및 방사화학적 순도(radiochemical purity)를 합성하는 최적의 조건을 찾을 수 있었다. 이를 바탕으로 $66{\pm}1.4%$ (decay-corrected, n=28)의 높은 합성수율과 HPLC 분리, SPE 정제시간을 포함하여 총 $51{\pm}1.2$분에 빠르게 합성할 수 있었다. 합성 후, 품질관리 테스를 해 본 결과, 방사 화학적 순도는 95%이상, 비방사능은 166~470 $GBq/{\mu}mol$이었다. 본 연구에서 사용된 합성법은 [$^{18}F$]Fallypride를 이용한 dopamine $D_2/D_3$ 연구의 임상적 사용에 도움이 될 것이며, 낮은 농도의 base를 사용한 이 F-18 추출방법은 base에 민감한 전구체의 자동합성 생산에 유용할 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구에서는 폐 알칼리망간전지 분말(spent alkaline manganese battery powder, SABP <8 mesh)의 산 침출액으로부터 분리한 망간이온을 이용하여 산화-중합반응 촉매인 버네사이트를 제조하였고, 1-naphthol (1-NP)을 대상으로 페놀계 화합물의 제거 반응성을 조사하였다. 망간산화물의 결정상과 반응성은 순수 망간시약($MnSO_4$, $MnCl_2$)을 사용하여 합성한 망간산화물(manganese oxide, MOs) 및 기존의 McKenzie 합성방법에 의한 Acid birnessite (A-Bir)의 결과와도 비교 평가하였다. SABP에 존재하는 망간과 아연이온은 과산화수소 존재 하에서의 황산 침출($1.0M\;H_2SO_4+10.5%\;H_2O_2$, solid/liquid (S/L)비=1/10 g/mL, $60^{\circ}C$)을 통해 각각 약 96%와 98% 회수하였다. 산 침출액으로부터 망간이온은 수산화물(NaOH) 침전을 통해 pH 8과 pH>13 조건에서 각각 69.0%와 94.3% 분리하였다. 1-NP 제거능을 토대로 SABP 산 침출액으로부터 알칼리(NaOH) 수열합성법에 의한 망간산화물의 제조를 위한 적정 OH/Mn 혼합비(M/M)는 6.0이었고, XRD 분석을 통해 버네사이트(${\delta}-MnO_2$) 결정상을 가짐을 확인하였다. pH 8 (${Mn^{2+}}_{(aq)}$)과 pH>13 ($Mn(OH)_{2(s)}$)에서 회수한 망간을 사용하여 얻은 망간산화물의 1-NP 제거 반응속도(k, at pH 6)는 각각 0.112, $0106min^{-1}$으로서 $MnSO_4$ 시약을 사용하여 얻은 망간산화물의 결과($0.117min^{-1}$)와 유사하였다. 이상의 연구를 통해 폐 알칼리망간전지 분말로부터 얻은 버네사이트는 미량 유해물질 제거를 위한 산화-중합 반응 촉매로 활용 가능함을 알 수 있었으며, 버네사이트 제조를 위한 폐 알칼리망간전지의 재활용 흐름도를 제시하였다.

Gd-Ti-O 및 Gd-Zr-O계에서의 파이로클로어 (Gd$_2$Ti$_2$$O_7$및 Gd$_2$Zr$_2$$O_7$)는 장주기 방사성 폐기물인 악티나이드 원소들을 고정화시킬 수 있는 물질로써 잘 알려져 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 소결법에 의해 이들을 합성하여, 상평형 관계 및 특성을 연구하였다. 혼합된 시료는 상온에서 200-400kgf/$cm^2$의 압력으로 성형한 후, 1000-1$600^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 소결온도 및 분위기를 변화시키면서 소결하였다. 합성된 시료는 XRD 및 SEM/EDS를 사용하여 상분석 및 화학조성을 분석하였다. 실험결과, Gd$_2$Ti$_2$$O_7$의 최적 합성조건은 140$0^{\circ}C$/0.5 hrs, 130$0^{\circ}C$/3 hrs 및 120$0^{\circ}C$/20 hrs였고, 이때의 화학조성은 $Gd_{2.0-2.1}$$Ti_{1.9-2.0}$$O_7$으로 소결온도 및 분위기와 무관하게 화학양론적 조성에 근접하였다. $Gd_{2}$$Zr_{2}$$O_7$의 최적 합성조건은 155$0^{\circ}C$/40 hrs 및 1$600^{\circ}C$/30 hrs였으나 화학조성은 $Gd_{1.5-2.4}$$Zr_{1.7-2.4}$$O_7$로 매우 불균질 하였다. 이 같은 불균질성은 본 연구의 최장 소결시간이었던 40시간에서 조차 평형을 이루지 못할 정도로 Gd$_2$Zr$_2$$O_7$의 생성속도가 매우 낮음을 지시하고 있다.
