LiF(Mg,Cu,Na,Si)형광체의 ${\gamma}$ 선과 ${\beta}$ 선에 대한 TSEE 특성을 조사하였다. 이 형광체의 TSEE glow 곡선은 $20^{\circ}C$에서 $400^{\circ}C$사이에서 5개의 피크를 나타내었으며 주피크는 $240^{\circ}C$였다. $^{60}Co$ ${\gamma}$ 선에 대한 형광체의 감도는 약 450 counts/mR 이었다. ${\beta}$ 선에 대한 TSEE 에너지의존성은 ${\beta}$ 입자의 평균에너지 0.02MeV에서 0.8MeV 사이에서 ${\pm}10%$이었다. 그리고 이 형광체의 ${\beta}$ 선에 대한 TSEE 효율은 $(2{\sim}15){\times}10^{-3}$ 이었다.

The present study was aimed at determining the effects of alkylating and oxidative stress inducing agents on a newly identified variant of DNA polymerase beta ($pol{\beta}{\Delta}_{208-304}$) specific for ovarian cancer. $Pol{\beta}{\Delta}_{208-304}$ has a deletion of exons 11-13 which lie in the catalytic part of enzyme. We compared the effect of these chemicals on HeLa cells and HeLa cells stably transfected with this variant cloned into in pcDNAI/neo vector by MTT, colony forming and apoptosis assays. $Pol{\beta}{\Delta}_{208-304}$ cells exhibited greater sensitivity to an alkylating agent and less sensitivity towards $H_2O_2$ and UV when compared with HeLa cells alone. It has been shown that cell death in $Pol{\beta}{\Delta}_{208-304}$ transfected HeLa cells is mediated by the caspase 9 cascade. Exon 11 has nucleotidyl selection activity, while exons 12 and 13 have dNTP selection activity. Hence deletion of this part may affect polymerizing activity although single strand binding and double strand binding activity may remain same. The lack of this part may adversely affect catalytic activity of DNA polymerase beta so that the variant may act as a dominant negative mutant. This would represent clinical significance if translated into a clinical setting because resistance to radiation or chemotherapy during the relapse of the disease could be potentially overcome by this approach.

Background: High dose ionizing radiation can induce ovarian cancer, but the effect of low dose radiation on the development of ovarian cancer has not been extensively studied. We evaluated the effect of low dose radiation and total background radiation, and the radiation delivered to the ovaries during the treatment of rectosigmoid cancer and breast cancer on ovarian cancer incidence. Materials and Methods: Background radiation measurements are from Assessment of Variations in Radiation Exposure in the United States, 2011. Ovarian cancer incidence data are from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Standardized incidence ratios (SIR) of ovarian cancer following breast cancer and rectosigmoid cancer are from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) data. Obesity data by US state are from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Mean ages of US state populations are from the United States Census Bureau. Results: We calculated standardized incidence ratios (SIR) from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) data, which reveal that in 194,042 cases of breast cancer treated with beam radiation, there were 796 cases of ovarian cancer by 120+ months of treatment (0.41%); in 283, 875 cases of breast cancer not treated with radiation, there were 1,531 cases of ovarian cancer by 120+ months (0.54%). The difference in ovarian cancer incidence in the two groups was significant (p < 0.001, two tailed Fisher exact test). The small dose of scattered ovarian radiation (about 3.09 cGy) from beam radiation to the breast appears to have reduced the risk of ovarian cancer by 24%. In 13,099 cases of rectal or rectosigmoid junction cancer treated with beam radiation in the SEER data, there were 20 cases of ovarian cancer by 120+ months of treatment (0.15%). In 33,305 cases of rectal or rectosigmoid junction cancer not treated with radiation, there were 91 cases of ovarian cancer by 120+ months (0.27%). The difference in ovarian cancer incidence in the two groups was significant (p = 0.017, two tailed Fisher exact test). In other words, the beam radiation to rectum and rectosigmoid that also reached the ovaries reduced the risk of ovarian cancer by 44%. In addition, there was a significant inverse relationship between ovarian cancer in white women and radon background radiation (r = - 0.465. p = 0.002) and total background radiation (r = -0.456, p = 0.002). Because increasing age and obesity are risk factors for ovarian cancer, multivariate linear regression was performed. The inverse relationship between ovarian cancer incidence and radon background was significant (${\beta}=-0.463$, p = 0.002) but unrelated to age (${\beta}=-0.080$, p = 0.570) or obesity (${\beta}=-0.180$, p = 0.208). Conclusions: The reduction of ovarian cancer risk following low dose radiation may be the result of radiation hormesis. Hormesis is a favorable biological response to low toxin exposure. A pollutant or toxin demonstrating hormesis has the opposite effect in small doses as in large doses. In the case of radiation, large doses are carcinogenic. However, lower overall cancer rates are found in U.S. states with high impact radiation. Moreover, there is reduced lung cancer incidence in high radiation background US states where nuclear weapons testing was done. Women at increased risk of ovarian cancer have two choices. They may be closely followed (surveillance) or undergo immediate prophylactic bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. However, the efficacy of surveillance is questionable. Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy is considered preferable, although it carries the risk of surgical complications. The data analysis above suggests that low-dose pelvic irradiation might be a good third choice to reduce ovarian cancer risk. Further studies would be worthwhile to establish the lowest optimum radiation dose.

Roesch의 생존 방정식속에 세포증식으로 일어나는 생존증가를 가장 일반적 형식으로 포함시킨 식을 유도하고 이 식으로부터 저선량률 방사선에만 적용되는 동결과선량식 (Isoeffect formula)을 유도하였다. 이 저선량률식이 파라메터 하나로 결정해주는 총선량은 Paterson과 Green에 의하여 얻어진 실험 임상결과와 일치한다. 이 파라메터와 선량률 효과 사이의 관계의 의의를 논하였다. 또한 고선량률 분절(fractionation) 치료와 동저선량률 계속치료를 연락하는 동결과 선량식을 유도 사용하여, Ellis가 잰 실험결과와 비교하였다. 그 결과, Ellis와 Paterson이 쓴 'tolerance'의 표준이 $\alpha/\beta$의 비 4Gy에 해당하는 것임이 밝혀졌다. 그러므로 이들의 'tolerance'의 표준은 'early effect'에만 두고 본 것이 아님을 알 수 있다. 개념적인 면에서도, 아래와 같은 새로운 견해가 나올 수 있다. KHT sarcoma의 생존선도 (survival curve)에 선량률 효과가 보이지 않는 이유로 $\alpha/\beta$의 비가 큰 점을 들을 수 있다. 이것은 이 survival curve에 어께 (shoulder)가 보이지 않는 것으로도 증명이 된다. Pierquin이 선량률에 무관하게 head and neck tumor치료에 같은 총선량을 쓴 것을 정당화시킬 수 있다.

In the present study, we developed a real-time radiation-monitoring sensor for an underwater radiation-monitoring system and evaluated its effectiveness using reference radiation sources. The monitoring sensor was designed and miniaturized using a silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) and a cerium-doped-gadolinium-aluminum-gallium-garnet (Ce:GAGG) scintillator, and an underwater wireless monitoring system was implemented by employing a remote Bluetooth communication module. An acrylic water tank and reference radiation sources ($^{137}Cs$, $^{90}Sr$) were used to evaluate the effectiveness of the monitoring sensor. The underwater monitoring sensor's detection response and efficiency for gamma rays and beta particles as well as the linearity of the response according to the gammaray intensity were verified through an evaluation. This evaluation is expected to contribute to the development of base technology for an underwater radiation-monitoring system.

방사선에 대한 거부감에도 불구하고 RT(radiation technology)의 발전과 더불어 이용량뿐만 아니라 적용분야도 계속적으로 증가하고 있다. 이러한 방사선을 안전하게 관리하기 위해서는 방사선 측정 소재의 개발이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 표면오염 측정용 장비의 소재로 주로 이용되고 있는 얇은 필름 형태의 플라스틱 검출기를 제조하였다. 플라스틱 유기섬광체는 다양한 형상으로 쉽게 제조가 가능하고 제조 방법이 간단한 용매법을 이용하였다. 이러한 용매법을 이용하기 위해서 높은 투명도를 지니면서 용매에 쉽게 녹을 수 있는 고분자 소재인 폴리설폰을 선정하여 제조하였으며, 방사선 측정용 섬광체로서 광학적 특성 및 방사선 검출 등을 평가하였다.
