The value of pediatric nuclear medicine is well established. Pediatric patients are referred to nuclear medicine from nearly all pediatric specialties including urology, oncology, cardiology, gastroenterology, and orthopedics. Radiation exposure is associated with a potential, small, risk of inducing cancer in the patient later in life and is higher in younger patients. Recently, there has been...

Amorphous solid dispersions are of great current interest because they can improve the delivery of poorly water-soluble compounds. It has been recently noted that the highly supersaturated solutions generated by dissolution of some ASDs can undergo a phase transition to a colloidal, disordered, drug-rich phase when the concentration exceeds the "amorphous solubility" of the drug. The purpose of...

Introduction: The functionalized Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotube with hydroxyl group (MWCNT-OH) due to high aspect ratios (length to diameter), and also excellent mechanical, electrical and thermal characteristics, has great potential applications in flexible electronics, solar cells, antistatic devices, electromagnetic interference shielding, radiation shielding, electrode materi...

The effects of radiation dose upon a hypoxic murine mammary carcinoma were followed using 31P nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Animals were studied before and over the course of 9 days after tumors were irradiated with a single dose of 0, 4, 8, or 17 Gy. The current data is compared to our previous studies of the effects of 32 or 65 Gy on the same tumor model. The energy status of the t...

PURPOSE The purpose of the present study was to investigate metabolic changes in different compartments of the rat lens (anterior, nuclear, posterior, and equatorial) after exposure to an acute double threshold dose of ultraviolet-B radiation (UVR-B) by using high-resolution magic angle spinning (HR-MAS) (1)H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and pattern recognition (PR) METHODS: me...

Background: Although nuclear technology has various beneficial, it also has a variety of risks. In particular, initial response is very import to respond to risks. Therefore, the program to increase initial response proficiency can be regarded as very essential. The Republic of Korea annually conducts more than 10 nuclear emergency response training programs, and specialized training courses f...
