  • Administration of stable iodine has been considered a best measure to protect the thyroid from internal irradiation by radioiodine intake, and its efficacy on thyroid protection has been quantitatively evaluated in several simulation studies on the basis of simple iodine biokinetic models (i.e., three-compartment model). However, the new iodine biokinetic model adopted by the International Commission on Radiological Protection interprets and expresses the thyroid blocking phenomenon differently. Therefore, in this study, the new model was analyzed in terms of thyroid blocking and implemented to reassess the protective effects and to produce dosimetric data. The biokinetic model calculation was performed using computation modules developed by authors, and the results were compared with those of experimental data and prior simulation studies. The new model predicted protective effects that were generally consistent with those of experimental data, except for those in the range of stable iodine administration -72 h before radioiodine exposure. Additionally, the dosimetric data calculated in this study demonstrates a critical limitation of the three-compartment model in predicting bioassay functions, and indicated that dose assessment 1 d after exposure would result in a similar dose estimate irrespective of the administration time of stable iodine.

  • To increase the solubility of iodine and iodine releasing agents, which are used widely as a topical broad spectrum antiseptics and disinfectant sanitizers, its inclusion complexes were prepared and studied. Inclusion complexes of iodine with ${\beta}-cyclodextrin$ were prepared by coprecipitation method and complex formation was acertained by differential scanning calorimetry and microscopic observation. Iodine content of inclusion complex was determined by means of iodometry. Tablets containing inclusion complex were manufactured with sugar, citric acid, magnesium stearate, dextrose. Stability of inclusion complexes and tablets was evaluated by accelerated stability test, and comparing with PVP-iodine. During preparation, use of 50% ethanol solution is preferable to water as the medium because the former resulted in more stable complex for a month under accelerated storage conditions. Solubility of iodine in KI aqueous solution was 0.048 g/ml and lower than in 50% ethanol solution. Inclusion complex and its tablets were very stable at severe condition for one month, and comparable to PVP-iodine in the aspect of stability. Inclusion complex tabletswere not affected with citric acid, sugar, dextrose, and direct tableting method was recommendable because wet granulation using ethanol gave some release of included iodine during process.

  • Spectrophotometric studies have been made on the solutions of elementary iodine in pyridine and quinoline, in the absence of light. The results shown that triiodide ion is produced in both solutions with different rates, and that triiodide ion behaves differently in both solutions. Iodine reacts slowly with pyridine, giving rise to triiodide ion, which is relatively stable in this solvent, hereas, iodine reacts rapidly with quinoline, forming triiodide ion, which interacts further with the medium at slow rate. It has been thought that the difference of the behavior of triiodide ion in both solutions may be due to the stronger basicity of quinoline than pyridine.

  • Iodine exists as a trace element in seawater, with total iodine being generally constant at about 0.45-0.55 μM. Almost all of this iodine occurs in two main forms: iodate and iodide. Iodate is the thermodynamically stable form under normal seawater conditions, and thus should be the only iodine-containing species in the water column. However, iodate concentrations are found to vary considerably, being generally greater at depth and lower at the surface, while iodide concentrations follow the reverse pattern, being anomalously accumulated in the euphotic zone and decreasing with depth. The fact that iodide concentrations follow a depth dependence corresponding to the euphotic zone suggests that biological activity is the source of the reduced iodine. Nonetheless, the nature and source of iodate reduction activity remains controversial. Here, using a combination of field and laboratory studies, we examine some of the questions raised in our and other previous studies, and seek further correlations between changes in iodine speciation and the presence of marine macro- and microalgae. The present results indicate that microalgal growth per se does not seem to be responsible for the reduction of iodate to iodide. However, there is some support for the hypothesis that iodate reduction can occur due to release of cellular reducing agents that accompany cell senescence during phytoplankton bloom declines. In addition, support is given to the concept that macroalgal species such as giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) can take up both iodide and iodate from seawater (albeit on a slower time scale). We propose a mechanism whereby iodate is reduced to iodide at the cell surface by cell surface reductases and is taken up directly as such without reentering the bulk solution.

  • Background: The International Commission on Radiological Protection is preparing to provide reference dose coefficients for environmental radioiodine intake based on newly developed age-specific biokinetic models. However, the biokinetics of iodine has been reported to be strongly dependent on the dietary intake of stable iodine; for example, the thyroidal uptake of iodine may be substantially lower in iodine-rich regions than in iodine-deficient regions. Therefore, this study attempted to establish a system of age-specific thyroid dose estimation for South Koreans, whose daily iodine intakes are significantly higher than that of the world population. Materials and Methods: Korean age-specific biokinetic parameters and thyroid masses were derived based on the previously developed Korean adult model and the Korean anatomical reference data for adults, respectively. This study complied with the principles used in the development of age-specific biokinetic models for world population and used the ratios of baseline values for each age group relative to the value for adults to derive age-specific values. Results and Discussion: Biokinetic model predictions based on the Korean age-specific parameters showed significant differences in iodine behaviors in the body compared to those predicted using the model for the world population. In particular, the Korean age-specific thyroid dose coefficients for 129I and 131I were considerably lower than those calculated for the world population (25%-76% of the values for the world population). Conclusion: These differences stress the need for Korean-specific internal dose assessments for infants and children, which can be achieved by using the data calculated in this study.

  • High molecular weight syndiotactic poly(vinyl alcohol)(HMW s-PVA) with number-average degree of polymerization of 10000 and syndiotactic diad content of 61.5%/iodine complex film was prepared. Its adsorption and desorption behaviors of iodine in hot water were investigated. In comparison with atactic PVA film or low molecular weight s-PVA film, the degree of solubility of s-PVA film and the iodine desorption of HMW s-PVA/iodine film in hot water were limited to an extremely lower level. As the soaking time increased, the iodine desorption in hot water was increased. This reason might be explained by the fact that as the soaking time increased, so the iodine adsorption increased not by the stable molecular complex between PVA and iodine but by the simple physical adsorption of iodine.

  • As a part of evaluating the volatility of iodide ions subjected to gamma irradiation, $I_2$ evaporation experiments were performed with $I_2$ and $I^-$ mixed solutions in the temperature range $26-80^{\circ}C$ in an open, well-ventilated space. The evaporation of $I_2$ was observed to follow primarily first order kinetics, depending on the $I_2$ concentration. The evaporation rate constant increased rapidly with increase in temperature. The presence of $I^-$ slightly reduced the evaporation rate of $I_2$ by forming relatively stable $I_3^-$. The effect of $Cl^-$ at <1.0 wt% on $I_2$ evaporation was insignificant. The evaporation rate constants of $I_2$ were $1.3{\times}10^{-3}min^{-1}\;cm^{-2}$, $2.4{\times}10^{-2}min^{-1}\;cm^{-2}$, and $8.6{\times}10^{-2}min^{-1}\;cm^{-2}$, at $26^{\circ}C$, $50^{\circ}C$, and $80^{\circ}C$, respectively.

  • Ultraviolet spectrophotometric investigation have been carried out on the systems of pentamethylbenzene and hexamethylbenzene with iodine and iodine monochloride in carbon tetrachloride. The results reveal the formation of the one to one molecular complexes. The equilibrium constants were obtained in consideration of that absorption maxima due to the formation of the charge transfer complexes shift to blue with the increasing temperature. Thermodynamic parameters for the formation of the charge transfer complexes were calculated from these values. These results indicate that the complex formed between polymethylbenzene and iodine monochloride is more stable than that in the case of iodine. This may be a measure of their relative acidities toward polymethylbenzene, which is explained in terms of the relative electronegativities of halogen atoms. These results combined with previous studies of this series indicated that ${\lambda}_{max}$ shift to red with the increasing number of methyl groups on benezene ring and that the relative stabilities of these complexes increase in the order, Benzene < Toluene < Xylene < Durene < Mesitylene < Pentamethylbenzene < Hexamethylbenzene. The reason for the order found is thus additionally discussed.

  • Background : For biological dosimetry of radiation exposure, both observing hematologic change and calculating Ydr by chromosomal analysis as biological indicators are widely used. However, due to the lack of studies on biological dosimetry of radiation dose absorbed in the body such as in the cases of radioactive iodine therapy, the maximal and safe dose is not well known, nor is the extent to which the body can safely endure radiation exposure. Purpose : To investegate the practical applicability of hematologic changes and Ydr as an indicator for estimating radiation exposure, to patients with thyroid diseases after doses of radioactive iodine. Material and Methods : 5 patients with hyperthyroidism and 35 patients who have had thyroid cancer operation were under treatment with radioactive iodine, changes in number of lymphocytes were tracked and Ydr was calculated for more than 2 months by chromosomal analysis in peripheral lymphocytes. Results ; 1) The number of lymphocytes began to decrease 2 weeks after doses of radioactive iodine, and reached the nadir after 6 and 8 weeks, then gradually recovered. 2) The nadir count of lymphocytes was reversely correlated with the administered dosage of radioactive iodine. 3) Ydr was generally stable between 2 and 8 weeks. 4) The maximal value of Ydr was correlated with the administered dosage of radioactive iodine. 5) Ydr value at the 2nd week increased with augmented dosage of radioactive iodine. 6) Ydr value at the 2nd week was correlated with fall of lymphocyte count. Conclusion : Patients must be closely observed, because temporary bone marrow suppression and slight chromosomal aberration can be produced by even generally used dosages of radioactive iodine for diagnosis and therapy. Maximal percent fall of lymphocyte count, Ydr at the 2 week interval and maximal Ydr can be used as the biological predictor of administered dosage of radioactive iodine.

  • An antifungal antibiotic was produced from Bacillus sp. YJ-63, and antibiotic was purified to a homogeneity by butanol extraction, Silica-gel column chromatography, Sephadex LH-20 gel filtration column chromatography and HPLC. The purified antibiotic showed one spot on Thin Layer Chromatography, which was negative to ninhydrin and positive to iodine. This finding indicated that the antibiotic was a cyclopeptide structure. UV absorption spectrum of the antibiotic in methanol was maximal at 277 nm, which corresponded to the spectrum for all of the Iturin antibiotic. The antibiotic was stable up to $121^{cdot}C$ and in the range of pH $3.O{\sim}l2.0$ with a stable of ${\alpha}-amino$ acid and ${beta}-amino$ acid, and showed high activity for fungi and yeasts,
