Peripheral arterial disease, because of it's significant and prolonged morbidity and related mortality is a major medical and surgical problem. Contrast angiogram remains the essential standard for the anatomic demonstration of disease. It does not, however, provide data suitable for quantification or any evaluation of the microcirculation. For these reasons, radionuclide studies are playing an increasingly important role by not only confirming the diagnosis and offering objective data on the physiologic significance of anatomic lesions, but by offering prognosis of healing and prediction of therapeutic results. In addition, radionuclide procedures offer means to safely and repeatedly monitor response to therapy and long term follow up. The object of this study was to evaluate the clinical availability of $^{201}T1$ perfusion scan in patients with peripheral arterial diseases. We performed $^{201}T1$ perfusion scans in patients with five Buerger' s disease (10 legs), six DM gangrenes (12 legs) and classified three perfusion pattern groups. Finally we compared treatment modalities among each groups and compaired T1-201 perfusion scan findings with angiographic findings in six patients with Buerger's disease. The results were as follows: 1) Seven legs showed increased perfusion in stress image and normal or increased perfusion in resting image (type 1). Six legs showed decreased perfusion in stress image and improved in resting image (type II). Of total 13 legs, only 1 leg needed to amputation. 2) Three legs showed decreased perfusion in stress and resting image (type III), and subsequently all cases were received surgical amputation. 3) In six Buerger's disease patients, there were disagreements in two patients (2 legs) between $^{201}T1$ scan and angiography, in which angiograms were normal but $^{201}T1$ scans showed 'type II' perfusion patterns.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether T1-201 reinjection distinguishes viable from non-viable myocardium in patients with reverse redistribution after acute myocardial infarction. Materials and Methods: We studied 42 patients with acute myocardial infarction (age, $55{\pm}12$ years). Eighteen (43%) out of 42 showed reverse redistribution on dipyridamole stress-4 hour redistribution T1-201 single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). T1-201 reinjection was performed at 24 hours. Reverse redistribution was defined as worsening of perfusion defect at 4 hour delayed scan. All patients underwent follow-up echocardiography in 4 months to assess regional wall motion improvement. T1-201 uptake on reinjection images were analyzed for the prediction of myocardial wall motion improvement. Results: Of 36 segments with reverse redistribution, 17 segments showed normal wall motion on echocardiography, while 19 segments showed wall motion abnormalities. Of 19 the segments with reverse redistribution, 11 (58%) showed enhanced uptake after 24 hour reinjection. Myocardial wall motion was improved in 10 of 11 segments (90%) with enhanced uptake on reinjection. Wall motion improvement was not seen in 5 of 8 segments (63%) without enhanced thallium uptake. When myocardial viability was assessed by the uptake on reinjection image, nine of 10 segments (90%) with normal or mildly decreased uptake showed improved wall motion. Wall motion was not improved in 5 of 9 segments (16%) with severely decreased uptake. Conclusion: In patients with acute myocardial infarction, T1-201 reinjection imaging on myocardial segments with reverse redistribution has a high positive predictive value in the assessment of myocardial viability.

혈관확장제 투여에 의한 약물부하 심근스캔시는 운동부하 심근스캔시와 비교하여 심박출량과 관상 동백 혈류의 증가정도가 달라서 심근내 T1-201의 농도가 달라진다. 그러므로 부하 심근관류스캔의 정량적 판독시에 각각의 부하에 특이적인 Normal file을 사용하지 않으면 이러한 심근내 T1-201 농도의 차이로 인하여 관류 결손의 크기가 다르게 나타날 수 있으리라 추측할 수 있다. 본 연구는 좌전하행지의 유의한 협착이 있는 34명의 단일 혈관 관상동맥 환자에서 이러한 가정이 실제적으로 어떻게 나타나는가를 조사하였다. 환자들은 adenosine 140ug/kg/min을 정맥주사하고 T1-201 SPECT를 실시하였다. 관류결손의 크기는 답차운동부하 T1-201 스캔을 실시한 정상인에서 구한 Normal File (File-ex)과 adenosine T1-201 스캔의 Normal File (File-ad)을 각각 이용하여 만든 극성지도에서 구한 adenosine 심근스캔의 관류결손의 범위지수(extent score)와 중증도지수(severity score)로 표시하였고, 이들의 값을 비교하여 아래의 결과를 얻었다. File-ex로 구한 관류결손의 범위지수는 $19{\pm}13%$였고 File-ad로 구한 범위는 $11{\pm}10%$였다(차이 $8.1{\pm}1.6%$, p=0.0001), 중증도지수는 File-ex를 사용하였을 때 $582{\pm}479$였고 File-ad를 사용하였을때는 $310{\pm}309$였다(차이 $272{\pm}49$, p<0.0001). $50\sim70%$의 중등도의 내경 협착이 있었던 20명의 환자에서는 범위지수는 File-ex와 File-ad에서 각각 $17{\pm}10$과 $7{\pm}7%$(p=0.001)였고, 70% 이상의 내경 협착이 있었던 14명에서의 범위 지수는 각각 $24{\pm}16$과 $18{\pm}10%$ (p=0.03)로 모두에서 File-ex를 사용하였을때의 값이 컸다. 이와 같은 성적으로 보아 T1-201 스핀에서 관류결손의 정도를 정량적으로 첨가할 시에는 부하에 특이적인 Normal File을 사용하여야 관류 결손의 정도를 정확하게 추출할 수 있다는 사실을 알 수가 있다. 즉 dipyridamole이나 adenosine부하경사에서 운동부하의 Normal File을 사용하면 관류결손의 정도가 과대평가 된다는 것이다.

Purpose: In Asan Medical Center we perform myocardial perfusion SPECT to evaluate cardiac event risk level for non-cardiac surgery patients. In case of patients with cancer, we check tumor metastasis using whole body bone scan and whole body PET scan and then perform myocardial perfusion SPECT to reduce unnecessary exam. In case of short term in patients, we perform $^{201}Tl$ myocardial perfusion SPECT after whole body bone scan a minimum 16 hours in order to reduce hospitalization period but it is still the actual condition in which the evaluation about the affect of the crosstalk contamination due to the each other dissimilar isotope administration doesn't properly realize. So in our experiments, we try to evaluate crosstalk contamination influence on $^{201}Tl$ myocardial perfusion SPECT using anthropomorphic torso phantom and patient's data. Materials and Methods: From 2009 August to September, we analyzed 87 patients with $^{201}Tl$ myocardial perfusion SPECT. According to $^{201}Tl$ myocardial perfusion SPECT yesterday whole body bone scan possibility of carrying out, a patient was classified. The image data are obtained by using the dual energy window in $^{201}Tl$ myocardial perfusion SPECT. We analyzed $^{201}Tl$ and $^{99m}Tc$ counts ratio in each patients groups obtained image data. We utilized anthropomorphic torso phantom in our experiment and administrated $^{201}Tl$ 14.8 MBq (0.4 mCi) at myocardium and $^{99m}Tc$ 44.4 MBq (1.2 mCi) at extracardiac region. We obtained image by $^{201}Tl$ myocardial perfusion SPECT without gate method application and analyzed spatial resolution using Xeleris ver 2.0551. Results: In case of $^{201}Tl$ window and the counts rate comparison result yesterday whole body bone scan of being counted in $^{99m}Tc$ window, the difference in which a rate to 24 hours exponential-functionally notes in 1:0.114 with Ventri (GE Healthcare, Wisconsin, USA), 1:0.249 after the bone tracer injection in 12 hours in 1:0.411 with 1:0.79 with Infinia (GE healthcare, Wisconsin, USA) according to a reduction a time-out was shown (Ventri p=0.001, Infinia p=0.001). Moreover, the rate of the case in which it doesn't perform the whole body bone scan showed up as the average 1:$0.067{\pm}0.6$ of Ventri, and 1:$0.063{\pm}0.7$ of Infinia. According to the phantom after experiment spatial resolution measurement result, and an addition or no and time-out of $^{99m}Tc$ administrated, it doesn't note any change of FWHM (p=0.134). Conclusion: Through the experiments using anthropomorphic torso phantom and patients data, we found that $^{201}Tl$ myocardium perfusion SPECT image later carried out after the bone tracer injection with 16 hours this confirmed that it doesn't receive notable influence in spatial resolution by $^{99m}Tc$. But this investigation is only aimed to image quality, so it needs more investigation in patient's radiation dose and exam accuracy and precision. The exact guideline presentation about the exam interval should be made of the validation test which is exact and in which it is standardized about the affect of the crosstalk contamination according to the isotope use in which it is different later on.

The stromatal forms of T. fuciformis and the mycelia of Hypoxylon sp. were collected. The DNA sequence in the ITS region of the 5.8S ribosomal genes of isolated strain KG103 was very similar to that of T. fuciformis AF042409 with a homology of over 98% in the EMBL/GenBank database through BLAST searching. A second isolate, No KG201, one of the symbiotic strains for cultivating T. fuciformis also exhibited high homology with Annulohhypoxylon stygium AJ390406. Potato Dextrose Medium exhibited the best mycelial growth of 14 mm/14 days and 85 mm/14 days for T. fuciformis and its symbiotic fungi, respectively. Optimum culture conditions for the micelial growth were pH 5 at $25^{\circ}C$. For the optimization of artificial cultivation of T. fuciformis in bottle with sawdust medium, several conditions such as type of sawdust, supplements, pH, moisture content, and incubation temperature were investigated. T. fuciformis and symbiotic fungi showed fast mycelial growth on corn cob media (77 and 52%) followed by oak tree sawdust and cotton seed meal. The optimal temperature for mycelial growth of T. fuciformis and symbiotic fungi on corn cob media was $25^{\circ}C$ at 55% of moisture content.

DRAM (dynamic random access memory)은 하나의 트랜지스터와 하나의 캐패시터의 구조 (1T/1C)를 가지는 구조로써 빠른 동작 속도와 고집적에 용이하다. 하지만 고집적화를 위해서는 최소한의 캐패시터 용량 (30 fF/cell)을 충족시켜 주어야 한다. 이에 따라 캐패시터는 stack 혹은 deep trench 구조로 제작되어야 한다. 위와 같은 구조로 소자를 구현할 시 제작공정이 복잡해지고 캐패시터의 집적화에도 한계가 있다. 이러한 문제점을 보완하기 위해 1T-DRAM이 제안되었다. 1T-DRAM은 하나의 트랜지스터로 이루어져 있으며 SOI (silicon-on-insulator) 기판에서 나타나는 floating body effect를 이용하여 추가적인 캐패시터를 필요로 하지 않는다. 하지만 SOI 기판을 이용한 1T-DRAM은 비용측면에서 대량생산화를 시키기는데 어려움이 있으며, 3차원 적층구조로의 적용이 어렵다. 하지만 다결정 실리콘을 이용한 기판은 공정의 대면적화가 가능하고 비용적 측면에서 유리한 장점을 가지고 있으며, 적층구조로의 적용 또한 용이하다. 본 연구에서는 ELA (eximer laser annealing) 방법을 이용하여 비정질 실리콘을 결정화시킨 기판에서 1T-DRAM을 제작하였다. 하지만 다결정 실리콘은 단결정 실리콘에 비해 저항이 크기 때문에, 메모리 소자로서 동작하기 위해서는 높은 바이어스 조건이 필요하다. 게이트 산화막이 얇은 경우, 게이트 산화막의 열화로 인하여 소자의 오작동이 일어나게 되고 게이트 산화막이 두꺼울 경우에는 전력소모가 커지게 된다. 그러므로 메모리 소자로서 동작 할 수 있는 최적화된 게이트 산화막 두께가 필요하다. 제작된 소자는 KrF-248 nm 레이저로 결정화된 ELA 기판위에 게이트 산화막을 10 nm, 20 nm, 30 nm 로 나누어서 증착하여, 전기적 특성 및 메모리 특성을 평가하였다.
