Molecular imaging visualizes cellular processes at a molecular or genetic level in living subjects, and diverse molecular probes are used for this purpose. Radiolabeling methods as well as radioisotopes are very important in preparation of molecular probes, because they can affect the biodistribution in tissues and the excretion route. In this review, the molecular probes are divided into small organic molecules and macromolecules such as peptides and proteins, and their commonly used radiolabeling methods are described.

A simple and rapid determination of total retinol from various pharmaceuticals containing retinol derivatives was described. Retinol derivatives were hydrolyzed with alcoholic KOH to alcoholic retinol, which was determined by HPLC. Pretreatments and HPLC conditions depend on the kind of retinols and preparation forms. The total amount of alcoholic retinol could be determined with this method from many pharmaceutical preparation of retinol derivatives. Treating time of KOH, acidic reagents and HPLC conditions were investigated.

This article introduces a facile nanoparticle self-assembly/annealing method for the preparation of nanoisland films. First, nanoparticle-polymer multilayer films are prepared with layer-by-layer assembly. Nanoparticle multilayer films are then annealed at $~500^{\circ}C$ in air to evaporate organic matters from the films. During the annealing process, the nanoparticles on the solid surface undergo nucleation and coalescence, resulting in the formation of nanostructured gold island arrays. By controlling the overall thickness (number of layers) of nanoparticle multilayer films, nanoisland films with various island density and different average sizes are obtained. The surface property of gold nanoisland films is further controlled by the self-assembly of alkanethiols, which results in an increased surface hydrophobicity of the films. The structure and characteristics of these nanoisland film arrays are found to be quite comparable to those of nanoisland films prepared by vacuum evaporation method. However, this self-assembly/annealing protocol is simple and requires only common laboratory supplies and equipment for the entire preparation process.

본 연구는 제 6차 교육과정에 의거하여 개정된 고등학교 화학 II 교과서 실험 중에서 염소의 제법과 성질 실험에 대한 비교 분석 및 개선에 목적을 두고 있다. 국내 9종 교과서에서 다루고 있는 염소 기체의 발생 실험을 수행하여 문제점을 발견하고 최적의 실험 방법을 제시한다. 염소 기체의 발생 실험에서 가장 큰 문제점은 인체에 해로운 염소 기체를 학생들이 흡임할 수 있다는 것이므로 염소 기체를 흡입하지 않고 안전하게 실험하는 것에 중점을 두었다. 실험실에서 간단하고 쉽게 관찰할 수 있는 염소 기체의 성질 확인 방법도 5가지로 정리해서 제시한다.

Solid dispersions of ipriflavone with PVP were prepared by a spray-drying method in order to improve the bioavailability. They were measured with scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, x-ray powder diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy to evaluate the physicochemical interaction between ipriflavone and PVP and study the correlation between these physicochemical characteristics and bioavailability. Ipriflavone exhibited crystallinity, whereas PVP was almost amorphous. The area of the endotherm $({\Delta}H)$ of freezer milled ipriflavone, freezer milled ipriflavone physically mixed with freezer milled PVP, and physically mixed ipriflavone with PVP was almost the same, whereas ${\Delta}H$ of the solid dispersed ipriflavone with PVP was much smaller than that of the other preparation types. Also, the crystallinity and the crystal size of ipriflavone in the solid dispersed ipriflavone with PVP were much smaller than those of the other preparation types. From the in vivo test, the AUC of the solid dispersed ipriflavone with PVP was approximately 10 times higher than that of the physically mixed ipriflavone with PVP. The solid dispersion using the spray-drying method with a water-soluble polymer, PVP, may be effective for the improvement of the bioavailability.

The improvement of preparation process of ${YBa_2}{Cu_3}{O_x}$ superconductor and its conducting properties is important for practical applications. In this study, the additives such as $Ag_{2}O$ and PbO were used to improve the preparation conditions of ${YBa_2}{Cu_3}{O_x}$ superconducting bulk samples and the properties of ${YBa_2}{Cu_3}{O_x}$ superconductors prepared with powders using sol-gel method and solid state reaction method were studied. The effects of the different powders and the additives to the density, grain alignment, and porosity of samples, that affect the critical current density of superconductor, also have been investigated. It is found that the properties of ${YBa_2}{Cu_3}{O_x}$ prepared with sol-gel synthesized powder and the additives showed better superconductivities than those of conventionally prepared superconductors.

Chemotherapy can not be applied for the control of fish viral diseases because viruses depend on host machinery for their replication. Although new control strategies including vaccination are under development, avoidance of virus introduction by rapid and correct diagnosis is the best way of fish viral disease control. Although observation of virus particles with an electron microscope is an easy method for virus detection, it take a few days for the sample preparation. In order to shorten the sample preparation time, microwave radiation was applied in the procedure. With this method, 15 seconds was enough for fixation of virus infected fish samples or cultured cells inoculated with infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus, which takes 2-4 hours with routine methods. Also four minutes was enough for polymerization of embedding resin which takes 24-48 hours with routine methods. Samples prepared with microwave were good enough for direct electron microscopic observation and immunogold labeling assay.

Spray pyrolysis has been found as an excellent method for the preparation of mesoporous barium sulfate at higher temperature. Ethylene glycol, a reducing agent, and solvents had good inhibition effect for the preparation of $BaSO_4$ nano particles. The $BaSO_4$ solution was sprayed at 500 & 800 ${^{\circ}C}$ using different solvents such as methanol, ethanol, propanol and n-butyl alcohol. $N_2$ adsorption-desorption isotherm revealed that $BaSO_4$ is micropore free, possessing narrow mesopores size distribution and high BET surface areas of 72.52 $m^2\;g^{-1}$ at 800 ${^{\circ}C}$ using propanol as an additive. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) indicates that the morphology of $BaSO_4$ nano material shows uniform shell like particles. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) proved that the resulting BaSO4 nano particles were uniform in size and the average particle size was 4-8 nm. The surface functionality and ethylene glycol peaks were assessed by Fourier transform infrared resonance (FTIR) spectroscopy. Low intensity ethylene glycol specific absorption peak was observed in propanol which proved that propanol had good inhibition effect on the structural morphology of nano particles.

An efficient nucleophilic [$^{18}F$]fluorination has been studied to reduce byproducts and preparation time. Instead of conventional aqueous solution of $K_2CO_3-K_{222}$, several organic solution containing inert organic salts were used to release [$^{18}F$]fluoride ion and anion bases captured in the polymer cartridge, concluding that methanol solution is the best choice. Comparing to azeotropic drying process, one min was sufficient to remove methanol completely, resulting in about 10% radioactivity saving by reducing drying time. The polymer cartridge, Chromafix$^{(R)}$ (PS-$HCO_3$) was pretreated with several anion bases to displace pre-loaded bicarbonate base. Phosphate bases showed better results than carbonate bases in terms of lower basicity. tert-Butanol solvent used as a reaction media played another critical role in nucleophilic [18F]fluorination by suppressing eliminated side product. Consequent [$^{18}F$]fluorination under the present condition afforded fast preparation of reaction solution and high radiochemical yields (98% radio-TLC, 84% RCY) with 94% of precursor remained.
