The purpose of this study was to compare the basic radiological characteristics of in-house polymer gel and commercially-available gel (BANG^TM) gel dosimeters with a spectro-photometer to use a optical computed tomography (CT) scanner. We investigated the radiological characteristics including dose linearity, absorbance spectrum, dose rate dependency and inter-and intra-reproducibility at wavelengths of 590, 600 and 630 nm. The optimal dose linearities of two gel dosimeters showed R² value of 0.939 and 0.948 at wavelengths of 590 nm and 600 nm, respectively. For two polymer gel dosimeters, there is no peak sensitivity within the range of all wavelengths in absorbance spectrum. For in-house gel dosimeter, the dose rate dependency were within 5% for all wavelengths except for the dose rate of 100 MU/min. For BANG^TM gel dosimeter, the dose rate dependency showed an error range of ±5% for all wavelengths. The inter-and intra-reproducibility of two gel dosimeters were within the range of 2.5%. We have confirmed that the two gel dosimeters was appropriate for use with a optical CT scanner.

As intensity modulated radiation therapy compared with conventional radiation therapy, tumor target dose increased and normal tissues and critical organs dose reduced. In brain tumor, treatment planning of intensity modulated radiation therapy was practiced in 4MV, 6MV, 15MV X-ray energy. In these X-ray energy, was considered the dose distribution and dose volume histogram. As 4MV X-ray compared with 6MV and 15MV, maximum dose of right optic-nerve increased 10.1 %, 8.4%. Right eye increased 5.2%, 2.7%. And left optic-nerve, left eye, optic chiasm and brainstem incrased 1.7% - 5.2%. Even though maximum dose of PTV and these critical organs show different from 1.7% - 10.1% according to X-ray energies, these are a piont dose. Therefore in brain tumor, treatment planning of intensity modulated radiation therapy in 9 treatment field showed no relation with energy dependency.

세기조절방사선치료(Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy, IMRT)는 기존의 방사선치료에 비해 암조직에는 더 많은 선량을 조사하면서, 주위 정상조직과 중요 장기에는 더 적은 선량이 조사되게 하는 가장 이상적인 치료법 중 하나로 알려져 있다. 뇌종양에서 치료계획자의 의도대로 세기조절방사선치료계획을 시행하여 4 MV, 6 MV, 15 MV의 에너지에 따른 선량분포 특성과 DVH를 살펴보았다. 종양 표적이 있는 오른쪽 뇌간에서 최대 조사선량은 4 MV, 6 MV, 15 MV에서 4 MV에 대해 10.1％, 8.4％의 차이를, 오른쪽 눈에서는 5.2％, 2.7％의 차이를 나타내고 있지만, 왼쪽 뇌간과 눈, 그리고 시신경 교차와 뇌간은 1.7％에서 5.2％의 차이를 나타내었다. 뇌종양에서 세기조절방사선치료계획을 수행한 결과 4 MV, 6 MV, 15 MV의 에너지의 차이에 따른 선량분포특성과 DVH를 비교검토 해본 결과 PTV와 특정 장기에 조사되는 방사선량이 1.7％에서 10.1％ 까지 차이를 나타내었지만, 이것은 한 지점에 조사되는 선량이며, 전체적인 비교에서 본다면 세기방사선치료계획을 시행한 9문 조사에서 에너지의 의존성이 없는 것으로 사료된다.

In this paper, It is studied that the variation of the dielectric absorption of the specimen according to the change with $^{60}$ Co-${\gamma}$ ray irradiation dose of the influence of temperature and applied voltage. In order to investigate the effect of irradiated oriented polypropylene film, we have observed dielectric properties within the temporature range of 30~130 ($^{\circ}C$) and voltage range of 100~250 (V). As for the dependency of temperature by tan $\delta$, the $\alpha$ peak which appears at high temperature increases accordingly to the increment of irradiation dose which is contributed by the crystal region and moves towards the high temperature. The $\beta$ peak which appears the orientation by dipoles and molecular motions in the amorphous region at low temperature. For the dependency of voltage by tan $\delta$ at low temperature, the peak of the tan $\delta$ shifts accordingly to the increment of irradiation dose towards the high temperature region.

In order to establish the photographic effects and sensitivity of various screens, fluorescence meter is used with convenience. When the radiation quality has been fixed the fluorescence has increased in proportion to X-ray dose. However, the response of fluorescence meter has the dependency of X-ray quality in accordance with KVP. as well as the difference of screen and scatter fraction can influence on the response of fluorescence meter. Using accurate fluorescence meter as a radiation detecter and as for a proper supervision the sensitive materials, we have to aware of the meter's dependency of X-ray quality and the scatter fraction.

In this research, we studied the variation of the dielectric loss absorption of the dielectric loss absorption of the sample according with the change to $\^$60/Co-${\gamma}$-ray irradiation dose of the influence of temperature and applied voltage. In order to investigate the effect of irradiation oriented polypropylene film, we have observed dissipation factor within the temperature range of 30∼130 [$^{\circ}C$] and voltage range of 100∼250$^{\circ}C$ [V]. As for the dependency of temperature by dissipation factor, the ${\alpha}$-peak which appears at high temperature increases accordingly to the increasement of irradiation dose which is contributed by the crystal region and moves towards the high temperature. The ${\beta}$-peak which appears at low temperature is origined from dipoles and molecular motions in the amorphous region. As for the dependency of voltage by tan$\delta$, at low temperature the peak of the tan$\delta$, at low temperature the peak of the tan$\delta$ shifts accordingly to the increasement of irradiation dose towards the high temperature region.

13-week orally repeated dose toxicity was investigated to ascertain the toxic effects of Aristolochiae radix in F344 rats at dose levels of 0, 1 (0.003 AA, aristolochic acid, mg/kg), 5 (0.014 AA mg/kg), 25 (0.068 AA mg/kg), 125 (0.34 AA mg/kg), and 500mg/kg (AA 1.36 mg/kg). No mortalities were found in any of the dose groups including vehicle control groups of both sexes during the study period. Hematologic and serum biochemical examinations revealed no changes related to the test item in any of the dose groups of both sexes. However, gross findings at necropsy implicated thickening of the stomach wall. In histopathological examinations, prominent findings related to the test item treatment were observed in the stomach and urinary bladder. There were squamous cell papilloma, squamous cell hyperplasia, ulceration and erosion observed in the non-glandular stomach. Squamouse cell hyperplasia was observed at dose levels of more than 125 mg/kg in both sexes and squamous cell papilloma was observed at dose level of 500 mg/kg in both sexes. The incidence and severity of these proliferating lesions including squamous cell hyperplasia and squamous cell papilloma increased with dose dependency. Transitional cell hyperplasia was also observed in the urinary bladder at dose levels of more than 25 mg/kg in both sexes and the incidence and severity of the lesion increased with dose dependency. In conclusion, the toxic changes related to the test item treatment were observed in the stomach and urinary bladder, and the no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) was estimated to be 5 mg/kg/day for both males and females in F344 rats.

It is reported that exposure for the patient and the medical staff from IVR is large. Direct measurement of patient exposure is difficult, since the measurement disturbs reading of images. The fluorescence glass-dosimeter system consisting of small-size glass chips is developed in recent years. Owing to its small size and physical characteristics, direct monitoring of surface dose may be feasible. The dose measurement for patient and medical staff during head interventional radiology (IVR) examinations was tried by using the fluorescence glass-dosimeter system. A dose response of the glass dosimeter is almost linear in large dose range but its energy dependency is high. About 20% variation of sensitivity was observed in the effective energy of 45-60keV which was used in IVR. In spite of this shortcoming, the fluorescence glass-dosimeter system is a convenient means for a dose monitoring during IVR performance.

조사면의 크기와 한계 측정부위의 선량평가에는 형체가 자유로운 열형광분말체를 이용하는 것이 적합함을 뒷받침하기 위하여 LiF:Mg,Cu,P TLD 분말체의 선량특성을 조사하고, 작성된 평가 알고리즘에 따라 선형가속기의 출력선량을 눈가림법으로 조사한 TLD에 적용했을 때 평가 신뢰성을 확인하고자 한다. 열형광분말소자는 PTW 사의 LiF:Mg,Cu,P (200 Mesh)이며, 판독기는 LTM (LTM Co, France)이다. 물의 흡수선량은 전리함과 전위계를 표준선량평가기관에서 교정한 흡수선량계수를 사용하여 구하였으며, TLD 조사는 자체 제작한 미니 프라스틱 수조의 중앙에 삽입하여 조사면 $10{\times}10\;cm^2$로 시행 하였다. 방사선조사는 두 대학병원에 설치된 선형가속기(Oncor, Siemens와 Clinac Ix, Varian)의 6 MV 광자선으로 하였으며, TLD의 눈가림법 선량평가는 glow 곡선의 특성과 분말질량에 의한 감도변화, 선량률의존성, 선량-TL 강도의 비례성과 퇴행성 조사를 통해 시행되었다. LiF:Mg,Cu,P TLD는 3개의 glow peak를 보였고 232도에 나타나는 peak는 선량과 비례성이 높고 감도가 높으며 퇴행현상이 적어 선량계로써 좋은 조건을 보이고 있다. 열형광선량분말체는 1,000 cGy까지 대략적인 선형관계를 유지하였으나, 정밀 측정평가를 위해 비선형 함수를 통해 평균 1% 오차범위에서 평가할 수 있었다. LiF:Mg,Cu,P TLD는 선량률 22.2 cGy/min에서 600 cGy/min까지 TL 감도에 거의 영향을 주지 않았으나, 가열판(Planchette)의 분말체의 량에 따라서는 TL 감도에 변화가 있음을 확인하였다. 눈가림법으로 두 기관의 선형가속기에서 15회와 10회 조사하였고, 선량범위는 15~800 cGy였다. 눈가림법에 의한 양 기관의 TL 선량은 평균 1% 이하의 오차범위에서 일치하고 편차는 각각 ${\pm}1.9%$와 ${\pm}2.58$ 이내에 있었다. 열형광분말소자를 사용하여 눈가림법으로 출력선량을 평가한 결과 실험오차범위에서 표준전리함의 선량과 잘 일치하였으며, 전리함으로 접근할 수 없는 작은 조사면이나 경계성 조사면에 대한 선량평가에 신뢰성 있는 평가를 할 수 있을 것으로 생각한다.

Clonidine, an antihypertensive drug, stimulates postsynaptic alpha-2 adrenergic receptors in the central nervous system and lowers arterial pressure through the effects on both cardiac output and peripheral resistance. However, many patients experience that sedation and xerostomia occur upon oral administration of clonidine. These side effects are due to high plasma peak concentration and can be avoided when clonidine is given transdermally. In this study, we tested the antihypertensive effects of trandermal administration of clonidine patch on spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) which is a model animal for human essential hypertension. Forty eight SHR (male) were divided into six groups according to the dose levels, respectively. After transdermal administration of clonidine patch of each dose, systolic blood pressure and heart rate were measured. Clonidine patch produced maximal antihypertensive and bradycardiac effects 48 hrs after administration and antihypertensive effects showed dose-dependency. We suggest that antihypertensive effects of clonidine patch are similar to those of orally given clonidine and clonidine patch can be used instead of clonidine tablet.
