Abstract: A medical radiofrequency coil may comprise: a base substrate; and a radio coil unit having a first coil element which has a rectangular shape and is formed along an edge of the inner peripheral surface of the base substrate, and a second coil element which is formed at the inner side of the first coil element and has a shape of paired paddles connected to each other. Therefore, the present inventive concept provides a radiofrequency coil, which can minimize an image distortion due to a beam-hardening artifact effect, and a medical imaging device including the same.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a cancer cell line having a stem cellularity and a method for producing the same, and more specifically, to inducing cancer cells to cancer stem cells by applying metabolic stress. More specifically, the present disclosures relates to the production and establishment of the cancer stem cell by repeating culturing in a glucose-deficient medium. The main features of the cancer stem cell produced by the method are that, in a glucose-deficient environment, the resistance to apoptosis is exhibited high and the resistance to anticancer drugs is highly exhibited high.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition containing a poorly soluble drug, hyaluronic acid, and a fatty acid, and to a method for preparing the same. The pharmaceutical composition of the present application has excellent stability even for long-term storage and allows a sustained release of the drug, thereby preventing an overdose of the drug and improving the therapeutic efficiency at an effected area.

Abstract: Provided are polyaniline coordinated with a transition metal, a core-shell nanoparticle including the same as a core, and preparation methods thereof. According to the polyaniline coordinated with a transition metal and the nanoparticle of the present application, it is possible to prepare polyaniline coordinated with a transition metal using an oxidizing agent having a core-shell structure and including the transition metal and a nanoparticle including the same as a core. The polyaniline prepared as such is in a doped state, and, thus, a preparation process is simple. Further, dispersibility with respect to a solvent is improved, and a band gap level of the polyaniline can be easily regulated.

Abstract: A pH responsive quencher based on a conjugated polymer and responding to an in vivo redox reaction and a preparation method thereof are provided. The pH responsive quencher can evaluate a metabolism environment according to a pH value in vivo with a characteristic that an absorption wavelength band sensitively changes depending on a pH condition.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are multifunctional nanoparticles, comprising: polymer nanoparticles formed by loading a drug into a polymer; a gold thin film deposited on a portion of the surface of the polymer nanoparticles; and an antibody to a substance expressed on the surface of a cell to which the drug is to be delivered, the antibody being conjugated to the gold thin film. Also disclosed is a method for preparing multifunctional nanoparticles, the method comprising the steps of: loading a drug into a polymer to prepare polymer nanoparticles; depositing a portion of the surface of the polymer nanoparticles with a gold thin film; conjugating to the gold thin film an antibody to a substance expressed on the surface of a cell to which the drug is to be delivered; and separating from the resulting nanoparticles those in which a portion of the surface of the polymer nanoparticles is deposited with the gold thin film and conjugated with the antibody.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a bioprobe including a substrate and inorganic nanoparticles attached to the surface of the substrate, a method of preparing the bioprobe, and an analysis apparatus and method using the bioprobe. In the bioprobe according to the present invention, inorganic nanoparticles introduced to the substrate serve as a linker to which a target-specific substance such as an antibody can be bound, and they also increase the surface area of the substrate, thus increasing a surface area where a target substance to be detected can contact the substrate. In this regard, the bioprobe can be effectively used for detection, dosing, or analysis of various biomolecules or other chemical substances.
