Hydroxyapatite (HAp) powders with different crystallinities were synthesized at various calcination temperatures through the co-precipitation of $Ca(OH)_2$ and $H_3PO_4$. The degradation behavior of these HAp powders with different crystallinities was assessed in a simulated body fluid solution (SBF) for 8 weeks. Below $800^{\circ}C$, the powders were nonstochiometric HAp, and the single HAp phase was successfully synthesized at $800^{\circ}C$. The degree of crystallinity of the HAp powders increased with an increasing calcination temperature and varied in a range from 39.6% to 92.5%. In the low crystallinity HAp powders, the Ca and P ion concentrations of the SBF solution increased with an increasing soaking time, which indicated that the low crystallinity HAp degraded in the SBF solution. The mass of the HAp powders linearly decreased with respect to the soaking time, and the mass loss was higher at lower crystallinities. The mass loss ranged from 0.8% to 13.2% after 8 weeks. The crystallinity of the HAp powders increased with an increasing soaking time up to 4 weeks and then decreased because of HAp degradation. The pH of the SBF solution did not change much throughout the course of these experiments. These results suggested that the crystallinity of HAp can be used to control the degradation.

We report the tissue-specific distribution of chitinolytic activity in Korean ginseng root and characterize two 31-kDa chitinolytic enzymes. These two enzymes (SBF1 and SBF2) were purified 70- and 81-fold with yields of 0.75 and 1.25%, respectively, and exhibited optimal pH and temperature ranges of 5.0-5.5 and 40-$50^{\circ}C$. With [$^3H$]-chitin as a substrate, $K_m$ and $V_{max}$ values of SBF1 were 4.6 mM and 220 mmol/mg-protein/h, respectively, while those of SBF2 were 7.14 mM and 287 mmol/mg-protein/h. The purified enzymes showed markedly less activity with p-nitrophenyl-N-acetylglucosaminide and fluorescent 4-methylumbelliferyl glycosides of D-N-acetylglucosamine oligomers than with [$^3H$]-chitin. End-product inhibition of both enzymes demonstrated that both are endochitinases with different N-acetylglucosaminidase activity. Furthermore, the $NH_2$-terminal sequence of SBF1 showed a high degree of homology with other plant chitinases whereas the $NH_2$-terminal amino acid of SBF2 was blocked.

본 연구에서는 타이타늄 상에 항균제 클로르헥시딘(chlorhexidine; CHX)이 함유된 수산화인회석을 코팅하고 그 특성을 규명하였다. CHX를 혼합한 개조된 생체유사용액(modified simulated body fluid; mSBF)에 타이타늄 디스크를 침적하여 Ti-mSBF-CHX 시편군을 준비하였다. CHX를 함유하지 않은 mSBF에 침적하여 코팅한 Ti-mSBF 시편군을 다시 CHX 용액에 침적하여 Ti-mSBF-adCHX 시편군을 준비하였다. Ti-mSBF 시편 표면에 나노 형태의 결정들로 구성된 구형의 클러스터들이 균일하게 코팅되었다. Ti-mSBF-CHX 시편에서는 이러한 클러스터들과 함께 리본형상의 결정들이 관찰되었으며, 이 결정들에서 높은 CHX 조성이 측정되었다. 두 시편 모두 HAp 결정구조가 지배적이었으며, ${\beta}-TCP$ (tricalcium phosphate)와 OCP (octacalcium phosphate) 결정구조가 Ti-mSBF-CHX 시편에서 관찰되었다. FT-IR 스펙트럼은 Ti-mSBF-adCHX와 Ti-mSBF-CHX 시편군에서 CHX의 피크가 강하게 관찰되었다. 그러나 인산완충식염수(phosphate buffered saline;PBS)에 침적한 후, CHX가 Ti-mSBF-CHX 시편에서는 천천히 용출된 반면, Ti-mSBF-adCHX 시편에서는 빠르게 용출되었다. 따라서 Ti-mSBF-CHX 시편은 골과 유사한 HAp 구조를 가지며 함유된 CHX가 지속적으로 방출될수 있기 때문에 향후 임플란트 시술에서 염증을 방지할 수 있는 코팅법으로 기대된다.

Ti and Ti alloys are known to have excellent corrosion properties, which is an important aspect for biocompability of these implants in human body. In our study, four types of samples (Cp-Ti, Ti-6Al-4V, $0.5wt.\%$ Fe-Ti and ECAP Ti) were tested for their apatite forming ability and corrosion properties. The micropolished samples were treated with 5M NaOH solution at $60^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours. Each samples was gently washed with distilled water and heat-treated at 600"C for 1 hour. The heat-treated samples were soaked in Simulated Body Fluid (SBF) solution at $36.5^{\circ}C$ in an incubator for different period of time. The test revealed that $0.5 wt.\%$ Fe-Ti showing faster apatite growth on the surface (7th day) compared to other samples. Polarization curve test (PCT) was also carried out to determine the corrosion resistance of each samples in SBF solution. ECAP-Ti showed highest corrosion resistance compared to any other samples. $0.5wt.\%Fe-Ti$ showed higher corrosion potential and corrosion current compared to other samples.

Porous poly(e-caprolactone) (PCL) scaffolds were fabricated by salt leaching method. The PCL scaffolds were treated with aqueous NaOH for 0h, 2h, 4h, 8h, and 12h at $40^{\circ}C$. The NaOH-treated PCL scaffolds were dipped in $CaCl_2$ and $K_2HPO_4{\cdot}_3H_2O$ solution alternately three times to induce apatite nuclei onto the surface of the scaffolds. The NaOH-treated PCL scaffolds were immersed into SBF solution for 1day to grow the apatite. The apatite formation were investigated as a fuction of NaOH treatment time. The hydrophilicty and surface area of the PCL scaffolds were increased with NaOH-treatment time. The NaOH-treated PCL scaffolds were successfully formed a dense and uniform bone-like apatite layer after immersion for 1 day in SBF solution.

Titanium and its alloy have been widely used in dental implant and orthopedic prostheses. Electrochemical characteristics of dental implant in the various simulated body fluids have been researched by using electrochemical methods. Ti-6Al-4V alloy implant was used for corrosion test in 0.9% NaCl, artificial saliva and simulated body fluids. The surface morphology was observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The electrochemical stability was investigated using potentiosat (EG&G Co, 263A). The corrosion surface was observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). From the results of potentiodynamic test in various solution, the current density of implant tested in SBF and AS solution was lower than that of implant tested in 0.9% NaCl solution. From the results of passive film stability test, the variation of current density at constant 250 mV showed the consistent with time in the case of implant tested in SBF and AS solution, whereas, the current density at constant 250mV in the case of implant tested in 0.9% NaCl solution showed higher compared to SBF and AS solution as time increased. From the results of cyclic potentiodynamic test, the pitting potential and |$E_{pit}\;-\;E_{corr}$| of implant tested in SBF and AS solution were higher than those of implant tested in 0.9% NaCl solution.

A complete solution for a soluble-boron-free (SBF) small modular reactor (SMR) is pursued with a new burnable absorber concept, namely centrally-shielded burnable absorber (CSBA). Neutronic flexibility of the CSBA design has been discussed with fuel assembly (FA) analyses. Major design parameters and goals of the SBF SMR are discussed in view of the reactor core design and three CSBA designs are introduced to achieve both a very low burnup reactivity swing (BRS) and minimal residual reactivity of the CSBA. It is demonstrated that the core achieves a long cycle length (~37 months) and high burnup (~30 GWd/tU), while the BRS is only about 1100 pcm and the radial power distribution is rather flat. This research also introduces a supplementary reactivity control mechanism using stainless steel as mechanical shim (MS) rod to obtain the criticality during normal operation. A further analysis is performed to investigate the local power peaking of the CSBA-loaded FA at MS-rodded condition. Moreover, a simple $B_4C$-based control rod arrangement is proposed to assure a sufficient shutdown margin even at the cold-zero-power condition. All calculations in this neutronic-thermal hydraulic coupled investigation of the 3D SBF SMR core are completed by a two-step Monte Carlo-diffusion hybrid methodology.

옥타칼슘포스페이트(OCP, Ca₈H₂(PO₄)₆·5H₂O)는 골전도성과 생체적합성을 가진 생분해성 인산칼슘계 재료 중 하나이다. 기질세포를 자극하여 조골세포로 분화하는 성질을 가지고 있어 빠른 골형성 및 재흡수되는 장점을 가지고 있다. 그러나 OCP가 체내에 삽입되면 분말 사이의 약한 응집력으로 인해 지지체의 형태를 유지하지 못하고 빠르게 분해된다. 반면, OCP와 유사한 결정구조를 갖는 수산화인회석(HA, Ca₁₀(PO₄)₆(OH)₂)은 골결손이 회복된 이후까지도 분해되지 않고 체내에 남아있다. 이 연구에서는 SBF(simulated body fluid) 용액에 HA 첨가량이 다른 OCP/HA disc을 침적한 후 기간에 따른 Weight loss, pH 변화 및 미세구조 변화의 측면에서 분해거동을 조사하였다. 그 결과 OCP/HA disc는 HA 함량에 관계없이 2주 동안 형태를 유지하였다. 특히, 40HA 시편의 표면이 균일하게 용해되는 양상을 보였고 SBF 용액 침적 후 7일 후부터 disc의 표면에 CDHA(calcium deficient hydroxyapatite)가 형성되었다. 이러한 결과는 40HA 시편이 골결손부의 회복을 위한 지지체로 적합하다는 것을 보여준다.

치과용 임플란트 재료로 주로 사용되는 지르코니아 및 티타늄 합금은 생체불활성 특징으로 인하여 골유착 및 골형성 능력이 떨어진다. 이러한 문제를 쉽고 간단하게 해결하기 위한 방법으로는 생체활성 물질을 표면에 코팅하여 생체 활성을 높이는 방법이 있다. 본 연구에서는 우수한 골결합 능력을 가진 실리케이트계 세라믹인 아커마나이트(Ca₂MgSi₂O₇)를 고상반응법으로 합성하고, SBF 용액 내 침적실험을 통하여 합성 아커마나이트 분말의 생체활성을 분석하였다. 고상반응 출발원료로는 탄산칼슘(CaCO₃), 탄산마그네슘(MgCO₃), 이산화규소(SiO₂) 분말을 사용하였다. 분말을 혼합 및 건조한 후, 가압 성형하여 디스크 형태로 만든 후, 고상반응 온도를 변화시키며 아커마나이트 상의 합성을 유도하였다. 합성된 아커마나이트 펠릿의 용해 및 생체활성 분석을 위하여 SBF 용액 내 침적 시키고, 침적시간에 따라 아커마나이트의 표면 용해 및 하이드록시아파타이트 석출을 분석하였다. 합성반응 온도가 높아질수록 아커마나이트 상이 뚜렷하게 나타난 반면에, SBF 용액 내 용해는 천천히 진행되었다. 합성된 아커마나이트 분말의 생체활성도는 대체적으로 우수하였으나, 그 중에서도 1100℃에서 고상반응 하여 합성한 분말에서 적절한 용해 및 하이드록시아파타이트 입자의 석출이 잘 일어나는 것으로 분석되었다.
