Lee, Min-Jeong,Ha, Ji-Hyoung,Kim, Yong-Su,Ryu, Jee-Hoon,Ha, Sang-Do The Korean Society for Applied Biological Chemistr 2010 Applied Biological Chemistry (Appl Biol Chem) Vol.53 No.1

We established the effectiveness of a washing, detergent and sanitizer treatments for reducing Bacillus cereus (B. cereus) contamination in biofilms on stainless steel surfaces. A water treatment did not affect biofilms and chlorine treatments at 200 ppm for 10 min and 300 ppm for 5 min, iodophor at 200 ppm for 10 min, and QAC at 400 ppm for 10 min were used to eliminate all B. cereus cells. B. cereus cells after detergent treatment were eliminated by chlorine at 100 ppm for 10 min, 200 ppm for 5 min, and 300 ppm for 3 min, and with iodophor at 100 ppm for 10 min and 200 ppm for 10 min, and QAC at 400 ppm for 10 min.

  Today, harbor oscillation problems are the most significant factor to consider when designing harbors serving very large ships. In coastal harbors, large vessels moored in the elastic hawsers are often displaced due to the resonance between long period waves and mooring systems. As a result, cargo handling may be interrupted and the hawsers may be broken, especially when the amplification becomes extreme. The most significant harbor confronted with harbor oscillation problem in Korea is Pohang New port. Many cases of problems are being reported by the pilot association and the local office of MOMAF (Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries). However, it is difficult to prevent the arrival of long waves causing oscillation within this harbor. Moreover, the Korean government has already started a new port plan at the mouth of Yeongil Bay without addressing the problems that have occurred in Pohang New port. This study deals with the variation of harbor oscillation due to the construction of a 4.1 km breakwater at the bay mouth including the arrangement of the new berths. Numerical methods used are in fairly standard form from the extended mile slope equation. The obtained numerical results were compared with field measurement from the previous and this will bring a certain level of discussion and consideration of variation to the future port development.

Jeong, Hyeonho,Moon, Hanul,Kim, Han-Jung,Yoon, Min,Park, Chang-Goo,Oh, Yong Suk,Sung, Hyung Jin,Choi, Dae-Geun,Yoo, Seunghyup American Chemical Society 2018 ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES Vol.10 No.31

<P>Nanopatterns of functional materials have successfully led innovations in a wide range of fields, but further exploration of their full potential has often been limited because of complex and cost-inefficient patterning processes. We here propose an additive nanopatterning process of functional materials from solution route using selective wetting phenomenon. The proposed process can produce nanopatterns as narrow as 150 nm with high yield over large area at ultrahigh process speed, that is, the speed of solution dragging, of up to ca. 4.6 m·min<SUP>-1</SUP>. The process is highly versatile that it can utilize a wide range of solution materials, control vertical structures including pattern thickness and multistacks, and produce nanopatterns on various substrates with emerging form factors such as foldability and disposability. The solution patterning in nanoscale by selective wetting is enabled by corresponding surface energy patterns in high contrast that are achieved by one-step imprinting onto hydrophobic/hydrophilic bilayers. The mechanisms and control parameters for the solution patterning are revealed by fluid-dynamic simulation. With the aforementioned advantages, we demonstrate 25 400 pixel-per-inch light-emitting pixel arrays and a plasmonic color filter of 10 cm × 10 cm area on a plastic substrate as potential applications.</P> [FIG OMISSION]</BR>

Min‑Seong Kim,Sang‑Chul Kwon,Sun‑Tae Kim,Seong Lee,Hyo‑Tae Jeong,Shi‑Hoon Choi 대한금속·재료학회 2019 METALS AND MATERIALS International Vol.25 No.3

The present study investigated the effects that different types of forging exert on the deformation heterogeneities developedin AA1100 during multi-axial diagonal forging. To measure the deformation heterogeneities of deformed workpieces, thevalues for hardness and Kernel average misorientation were measured at the center section following each forging process. Type-D forging that consists of diagonal forging and return-diagonal forging was relatively advantageous compared withType-P forging that includes plane forging and return-plane forging for minimizing the non-uniformity of deformationdeveloped in workpieces. The effective strain developed in a workpiece during the 2 types of forging was simulated using3-D FEA. FEA revealed that the positions and degrees of occurrence for soft and hard-zones in workpieces vary greatlydepending on the forging type. Type-D forging was relatively advantageous compared with Type-P forging for minimizingthe non-uniformity of effective strain developed in workpieces.

Synthesis and biodistribution of 18F-labeled α-, β- and ω-fluorohexadecanoic acid

Yun-Sang Lee,Young Joo Kim,Gi Jeong Cheon,Jae Min Jeong 대한방사성의약품학회 2018 Journal of radiopharmaceuticals and molecular prob Vol.4 No.2

ω-[18F]-Fluorohexadecanoic acid (FHA) has been used for imaging of fatty acid metabolism of myocardium. To increase retention of radiolabeled fatty acid by blocking β-oxidation, methyl branched analogues have been used. In this experiment, we tried to synthesize 18F-labeled α-, β- and ω-FHA for imaging of the myocardial fatty acid metabolism. We synthesized α-, β- and ω-mesylated methyl hexadecanoates and labeled with 18F by reacting with [18F]TBAF in acetonitrile at 80ºC for 10 min. Methyl ester group was removed by 1 M NaOH at 80ºC for 5 min. The yields of α-[18F] and ω-[18F]FHA were 25.5 and 45.5%, respectively [EOS]. However, β-[18F] FHA was not labeled at all due to a fast elimination reaction. The biodistribution study in ICR-mice showed that ω-[18F]FHA has higher myocardial uptake and lower liver uptake than α-[18F]FHA. The electron-withdrawing effect of fluorine at α- position is believed to be the major factor affecting the biodistribution

Yun Sang Lee,Young Joo Kim,Jae Min Jeong 대한방사성의약품학회 2019 Journal of radiopharmaceuticals and molecular prob Vol.5 No.1

2-Nitroimidazole derivatives have been reported to accumulate in hypoxic tissue. We prepared a novel 99mTc-MAG3-2-nitroimidazole and evaluated the feasibility for hypoxia imaging agent. Bz-MAG3-2-nitroimidazole wassynthesized by direct coupling of Bz-MAG3 and 2-nitroimidazole using dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. Bz-MAG3-2-nitroimidazole was labeled with 99mTc in the presence of tartaric acid and SnCl2-2H2O at 100°C for 30 min. And the reaction mixture was purified by C18 Sep-pak cartridge. The labeling efficiency and the radiochemicalpurity were checked by ITLC-SG/acetonitrile. The tumor was grown in balb/c mice for 8~13 days after thesubcutaneous injection of tumor cells, CT-26 (murine colon adenocarcinoma cell). Biodistribution study andtumor autoradiography were performed in the xenografted mice after i.v injection of 74 kBq/0.1 mL and 19MBq/0.1 mL of 99mTc-MAG3-2-nitroimidazole, respectively. In vivo images of 99mTc-MAG3-2-nitroimidazolein tumor bearing mice were obtained 1.5 hr post injection. The labeling efficiency was 45±20% and theradiochemical purity after purification was over 95%. Paper electrophoresis confirmed negative charge of99mTc-MAG3-2-nitroimidazole. 99mTc-MAG3-2-nitroimidazole was very stable at room temperature and its proteinbinding was 53%. The 99mTc-MAG3-2-nitroimidazole exhibited high uptake in the liver, stomach and intestine. In biodistribution study using tumor bearing mice, the uptakes (% ID/g) of the tumor were 0.5±0.1, 0.4±0.0,0.2±0.1 and 0.1±0.1 at 5, 15, 30 min and 4 hrs. Tumor/muscle ratio were 1.4±0.1, 2.2±0.83, 3.0±0.9, and 3.7(n=2) for 5, 15, 30 min and 4 hrs. The uptake in hypoxic area was found higher than in non-hypoxic area oftumor tissue by autoradiography. In vivo images showed the relatively faint uptake to the hypoxic tumor region. 99mTc-MAG3-2-nitroimidazole was successfully synthesized and found feasible for imaging hypoxia

Kim, Sang-Wook,Park, Jeong-Hoon,Yang, Seung-Dae,Hur, Min-Goo,Kim, Yu-Seok,Chai, Jong-Seo,Kim, Young-Soon,Yu, Kook-Hyun Korean Chemical Society 2004 Bulletin of the Korean Chemical Society Vol.25 No.8

Hypericin (1,3,4,6,8,13-hexahydroxy-10,11-dimethylphenanthro[1,10,9,8-opqra]perylene-7,14-dione), an antidepressant which is also known to be a potent protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor was synthesized as a precursor for radioiodine labeling via two step reactions. Malignant glioma cells express higher PKC activity compared to untransformed glial cell. Here we report the synthesis and radioiodine labeling of hypericin as a potential brain tumor imaging radiopharmaceutical. The reference compound, 2-iodohypericin, and its radiolabelled analogues, 2-[$^{123}I$]iodohypericin and 2-[$^{124}I$]iodohypericin have been prepared by the reaction of hypericin with NaI or [$^{123}I$]NaI or [$^{124}I$]NaI. The labeling yield was 60-65% for each analogue and the optimal reaction time was 10 min. The purification and isolation of the labelled products were achieved by a reversed-phase HPLC.

A study of ^99mTc-sestamibi labeling condition using radio-chromatography

Moon, Sung-Hyun,Lee, Yun-Sang,Lee, Dong Soo,Chung, June-Key,Jeong, Jae Min Korean Society of Radiopharmaceuticals and Molecul 2017 Journal of radiopharmaceuticals and molecular prob Vol.3 No.1

Tc-99m labeled sestamibi ($^{99m}Tc$-MIBI) is one of most widely used radiopharmaceuticals for myocardial SPECT imaging. Radiolabeling of $^{99m}Tc$-MIBI is recommended by heating in $100^{\circ}C$ water bath for 15 min. However, the water bath might be a source of contamination. Thus, if radiolabeling of $^{99m}Tc$-sestamibi can be performed at room temperature, then it would be more convenient to use in clinical application. In this study, we performed the radiolabeling of $^{99m}Tc$-MIBI in different temperature conditions or using different instruments to find out the efficient labeling condition. We studied the $^{99m}Tc$-MIBI labeling at room temperature or $100^{\circ}C$ heating block, and checked the labelling yields every 1 min for 10 min using radio-TLC with 2 different eluents-saline and acetone. From the experiment, we confirmed that the $^{99m}Tc$-MIBI can be labeled over 90% yield but not completed at room temperature. However, the $^{99m}Tc$-MIBI labeling was completed when it was performed in the $100^{\circ}C$ heating block. Finally, we proved that heating is essential for complete $^{99m}Tc$-MIBI labelling, furthermore using heating block is also possible instead of water bath.

임상욱(Sang-Wook Lim),최다정(Da-Jeong Choe),강민정(Min-Jung Kang),김종현(Jong-Hyun Kim),김묘정(Myo-Jeong Kim),김민주(Min-Ju Kim) 한국식품영양과학회 2017 한국식품영양과학회지 Vol.46 No.10

본 연구에서는 당근의 세척에 사용되는 친환경 세척제의 초기 미생물 제어 효과를 향상시키기 위해 탄산수소나트륨과 구연산의 단독 및 병합 처리 조건을 설정하였으며 저장 중 당근 주스의 미생물 수 및 품질 특성 변화를 분석하였다. 친환경 세척제의 단독 처리 방법으로는 0.5, 1, 2% 탄산나트륨수와 0.2, 0.5, 1% 구연산수를 적용하였고, 살균 효과를 비교하기 위해 무처리구, 수돗물 처리구, 50 ppm 차아염소산나트륨 처리구를 사용하였다. 당근의 세척을 위한 병합처리 방법으로는 단독 처리에서 우수한 살균 효과를 나타낸 1% 탄산수소나트륨수와 1% 구연산수를 이용하였고, 1% 탄산수소나트륨수 처리 후 1% 구연산수로 처리하는 단계적 병합 처리구가 가장 우수한 살균 효과를 나타내었다. 1% 탄산수소나트륨수와 1% 구연산수의 단계적 병합 처리구는 무처리구에 비해 일반 세균수 1.87 log CFU/mL, 대장균군 1.56 log CFU/mL를 감소시켰고, 50 ppm 차아염소산수에 비해서도 일반 세균수 1.07 log CFU/mL, 대장균군 0.22 log CFU/mL의 미생물 감균효과를 나타냈다. 1% 탄산수소나트륨수 처리 후 1% 구연산수의 단계적 병합 처리구를 4°C에서 7일 동안 저장한 결과 수돗물, 50 ppm 차아염소산수나 혼합 병합 처리구, 1% 구연산수 처리 후 1% 탄산수소나트륨 처리구에 비해 미생물 제어 효과가 확실하게 나타났지만, pH, 당도, 산도, 색도에는 유의적인 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 본 연구 결과 1% 탄산수소나트륨과 1% 구연산의 단계적 병합 처리는 당근 세척 시 초기 미생물 제어와 품질 유지에 있어 효과적인 살균처리 방법으로 비가열 당근 주스의 유통기간 동안 미생물 안전기준에 부합하며 주스의 품질을 유지할 수 있는 바람직한 세척방법으로 판단된다. The aim of this study was to evaluate the microbial inhibitory activity and physicochemical quality of fresh carrot juice prepared with different environmentally-friendly washing methods during low temperature storage. Individual and combined treatments with sodium bicarbonate (baking soda, NaHCO₃) and citric acid were applied to carrots for 10 min. Tap water and 50 ppm of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) were used as the control. Combined treatment of 1% NaHCO₃ and 1% citric acid significantly reduced total aerobic counts and coliforms. In addition, combined treatment of 1% NaHCO₃ and 1% citric acid inhibited microbial growth for 7 days at 4°C and 10°C in a shelf-life study. There were no significant differences among the sanitizers in terms of °Brix, acidity, pH, and color. Changes in physicochemical quality were not significantly different by sanitizer but were affected by storage temperature. These results indicate that washing with combined treatment of 1% NaHCO₃ and 1% citric acid is an effective method to inhibit the microbial population and maintain physicochemical quality. Therefore, combined treatment of 1% NaHCO₃ and 1% citric acid can be effectively used to sanitize and prepare carrot juice without affecting other properties.
