  • 목 적: 뇌정위적 방사선수술시 이용되는 콜리메이터의 크기 변화에 따른 검출기 의존성을 평가하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 본 실험을 위해 6 MV 광자선(CL21EX, Varian, Palo Alto), 이온전리함(CC01, CC13, Wellhofer, Germany), 정위적 다이오드검출기(SFD, Wellhofer, Germany)를 사용하였다. 심부선량백분율(PDD)의 검출기 의존성을 평가하기 위해 Brain Lab사의 콜리메이터(${\varphi}$5, 10, 20, 30 mm)와 $10{\times}10\;cm^2$에서 측정, 비교하였다. 선량측면도(dose profile)는 SAD 100 cm에서 콜리메이터(${\varphi}$10, 30 mm)와 $10{\times}10\;cm^2$를 측정하여 반치폭(FWHM; full width half maximum)과 반음영(20∼80%)을 비교하였다. 선량출력인자의 측정을 위해 선량최대깊이에서 콜리메이터(${\varphi}$5, 10, 20, 30 mm)의 출력을 측정하였으며, 정방형 조사면($10{\times}10\;cm^2$)의 출력 값을 기준으로 정규화 하였다. 결 과: 검출기에 따른 PDD의 영향을 평가하기 위해 PDD20,10 (PDD20/PDD10)을 비교하였다. 콜리메이터 ${\varphi}$5 mm에서는 SFD 51.3%, CC01 50%, CC13 58%로 측정되었고, 다른 콜리메이터에서는 최대 1%의 측정값 차이를 보였다. 선량측면도 평가에서 FWHM은 0.1∼0.4 mm의 차이를 보였다. 반음영은 ${\varphi}$10 mm에서 SFD 3.2 mm, CC01 7.1 mm, CC13 9.4 mm로 측정되었고, ${\varphi}$30 mm에서 SFD 4 mm, CC01 6.7 mm, CC13 12.4 mm로 측정되었다. $10{\times}10\;cm^2$에서는 SFD 6.6 mm, CC01 8.6 mm, CC13 12.2 mm로 측정되었다. 선량출력인자는 ${\varphi}$20 mm 이상에서 검출기별 최대 2%의 차이를 보였다. ${\varphi}$5 mm에서는 SFD 85%, CC01 61%, CC13 24%로 측정되었고, ${\varphi}$10 mm에서는 SFD 94%, CC01 85%, CC13 71%로 측정되었다. 실험결과 PDD는 CC13이 조사면에 충분히 포함되지 않은 ${\varphi}$5 mm에서 최대 16%의 차이를 보였고, 선량측면도의 FWHM은 검출기별 최대 0.4 mm의 차이를 보였다. 선량측면도의 반음영은 ${\varphi}$30 mm에서 최대 8.4 mm 차이를 보였고, 출력선량인자는 ${\varphi}$5 mm에서 최대 72%의 차이를 나타냈다. 결 론: 뇌정위적 방사선수술을 시행하는데 있어 정확한 선량을 측정할 수 있는 검출기를 선택하는 것은 무엇보다 중요하다. 따라서 본 실험에서는 측정을 통한 작은 원형조사면 선량계측에서 정위적 다이오드 검출기가 이온전리함에 비해 선량의 특성을 평가하는데 있어 유용함을 알 수 있었다.

  • 목적 : 방사선량 측정시 에너지, 매질, 측정기 등의 측정 조건과 측정 프로토콜에 따라 절대 흡수선량값이 결정된다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 측정 조건의 변화와 측정 프로토콜의 차이에 따른 절대 선량 값을 구하여 비교 분석 하고자 한다. 방법 : 시멘스 선형가속기에서 발생하는 6MV 광자선을 이용하여 3개의 다른 매질(물, 고체 물팬텀, 폴리스틸렌팬텀)내에서 2개의 전리함 (PTW ion chamber, NEL ion chamber)과 2개의 전기계(Victoreen electrometer, Keithley electrometer)를 사용하여 흡수선량을 측정하였다. 매질, 전리함, 전기계등의 측정 조건을 달리하여 서로 다른 조합에 대한 측정값을 TG21, IAEA 프로토콜에 의해 각각 분석하였다. 결과 및 결론 : 2개의 전기계와 2개의 전리함 조합에 따른 TG2l 및 IAEA 의 Ngas,, ND값의 비는 평균적으로 1% 이내에서 일치하였다. 3개의 서로 다른 매질, 4개의 서로 다른 전리함 및 전기계 조합에 따른 12 가지 측정조건에 대한 흡수선량의 변화는 평균 0.6%의 차이를 보여 주였으며 임의의 전리함 및 전기계 조합에 대하여 물팬텀 및 고체물팬텀에 대한 TG21, MEA 측정법에 의한 흡수선량비의 변화 양상이 같은 양상을 보여주고 있으나 그 차이가 평균 1.96%를 보임으로서 고체물팬텀이 절대 흡수선량 측정에는 적절치 않은 것으로 사료된다. TG21 측정법에 따른 물팬텀과 폴리스틸렌팬텀을 이용한 절대 흡수선량값이 1.54%의 차이를 보임으로서 팬텀 매질에 대한 비교 factor가 필요할 것으로 사료된다. 측정매질, 전리함, 전기계 등의 여러 조건에 대한 흡수선량값의 차이가 TG21, IAEA 프로토콜에서 1% 이내의 차이를 보여 주고 있으며 상대적인 변화 양상이 측정법에 상관없이 같은 경향으로 변함으로서 측정조건이 측정법에 영향을 주지 않았음을 알 수 있다. 다만 표준 측정법을 사용할 때 팬텀에 의한 차이는 많이 날 수 있으므로 측정법에서 사용하는 표준 팬텀을 사용 할 것을 권장하며 이것이 어려운 경우는 병원에서 사용하는 팬텀에 대한 보정값을 자체적으로 구하여 사용하는 것이 오차를 줄일 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

  • 본 연구에서는 boron 화합물인 BSH(Boron Sulfhydryl Hydride)의 농도와 중성자 및 감마선 방사선 조사선량에 따른 plasmid DNA의 손상 정도를 관찰하였다. Plasmid는 pBR 322(2870 bp)와 ${\Phi}X174$ RF DNA(5386 bp)를 사용하였고 조사 후 DNA의 손상 정도는 agarose gel 전기영동 상에서 관찰하였다. 중성자 조사에서는 plasmid DNA의 손상 정도는 BSH의 농도 및 조사 선량이 증가함에 따라 증가하였으나 감마선 조사에서는 조사하지 않은 대조군과 큰 차이를 나타내지 않았다. Plasmid DNA의 손상 양상은 BSH 존재시 중성자 및 감마선 조사에서 다소 다름을 알 수 있었다.

  • Objectives: $^{32}P$-postlabeling assay is the most sensitive method of detecting DNA adduct formation. However, it is limited by a low sample throughput and use of radioisotopes (RI). In this study, we modified it to minimize these limitations and applied it to Z. platypus exposed to Benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) in order to investigate DNA adduct formation (effect biomarker for pollutants) in Z. platypus for assessing risk of waterborne BaP exposure. Methods: DNA hydrolysis was performed only with Micrococcal nuclease (MNase), RI reduction test was performed and the overlapping steps between thin layer chromatography (TLC) and radioisotope high-performance liquid chromatography (RI-HPLC) were omitted. The application of a modified method to Z. platypus exposed to BaP was performed. Results: The results revealed that the amount of RIs used can be reduced roughly 10-fold. Because the analysis time was shortened by 8.5 hours, the sample throughput per hour was increased compared with the previous method. The results of applying modified $^{32}P$-postlabeling assay to Z. platypus, DNA adduct formation in Z. platypus showed dose-dependency with the BaP concentration. Only BPDE-dGMP was detected as a DNA adduct. Conclusion: These results demonstrate that the modified $^{32}P$-postlabeling assay is a suitable method for detecting DNA adduct formation in Z. platypus exposed to waterborne BaP and will be useful in risk assessment of carcinogenic effect in aquatic environment due to BaP.

  • The clearance of ICG, a known hepatic blood flow marker was investigated in rats in order to examine whether DDB-S influences hepatic blood flow. The effect of DDB-S on the protein binding and blood-to-plasma partition of ICG was measured. The steady-state plasma concentration of ICG was monitored before and after co-administration of various concentration of DDB-S, and ICG clearance was estimated from the steady-state concentration and the infusion rate of ICG. There was no significant difference in protein binding and blood-to-plasma partition of ICG with and without addition of DDB-S (10, 20, and 40 ${\mu}g/mL)$. When ICG was infused into DDB-S pretreated rats, the steady-state concentrations of ICG decreased and the calculated ICG clearance increased. However, no dose-dependency of ICG Css on DDB-S Css was observed. Since DDB-S did not affect the protein binding and blood-to-plasma partition of ICG, the increased clearance of ICG with co-administration of DDB-S seems to be due to the increased hepatic blood flow by DDB-S.

  • In this study, cytotoxicity of cadmium on NIH 3T fibroblasts was utilized in order to discover antitoxic compound in methanol extract of Sophora fIavascens Ait. There were treatment groups; control (medium only), $MTT_{50}$ group and five experimental groups. MTT {3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H- tetrazoliumbromide} assay was performed to evaluate the cytotoxicity of cell organelles and $IC_{50}$ was also measured. Accordingly we have examined the detoxification effects of methanol extract of S. flavescens Ait. and leachianone A (LA) on cadmium-treated NIH 3T3 fibroblasts ($IC_{50}=\;12.5{\mu}M$) to observe morphological changes by the light microscopy. Both S. flavescens Ait. methanol extract and LA showed inhibitory effects on cadmium-induced cytotoxicity. Furthermore, LA showed dose-dependency in detoxication. From these results, it is conceivable to suggest that LA from S. flavescens Ait. methanol extract is a potential antitoxic agent.

  • Currently small and accurate dosimeters are on the rise. In this study, the feasibility and energy dependency of the electret dosimeter that made of PET (polyethylene terephtalate) were observed by irradiating 4, 6, 15 MV photon beams from the clinical linear accelerator to develop a dosimeter for the clinical field. $10{\times}10cm$ field size of the photon beams were irradiated to the electret dosimeter where the 2.5 cm depth in the polystylene phantom from 100 cm SSD, while 300 DCV was applied to the electret dosimeter. The result showed that the absorbed dose was proportional to the charge linearly, and the volume of a dosimeter could be reduced and the signals were high enough. According to this study, it was found that the polymer electret detector could be produced as a large quantity with a small cost and showed the feasibility of a realtime measurement.

  • Cytotoxicity of cadmium on NIH 3T3 fibroblasts was utilized in order to discover antitoxic compound in Galgeuntang extract in this study. Treatment groups were chosen as follows; control (medium only), $MTT_{50}$ group and five experimental groups. MTT {3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazoliumbromide} method was performed to evaluate the cytotoxicity of cell organelles and $IC_{50}$ was also measured. Accordingly we have examined the detoxification effects of Galgeuntang extract on cadmium-treated NIH 3T3 fibroblasts to observe morphological changes by the light microscopy. Galgeuntang extract showed cytoprotective effects on cadmium-induced cytotoxicity. Furthermore, Galgeuntang showed a dose-dependency in detoxication. The phenolic content of Galgeuntang ethanol extract was higher than that of water content. These results suggest that Galgeuntang extract may be used as a cytoprotective agent against cadmium (II)-mediated cytotoxicity.

  • Dextromethorphan hydrobromide (DXM) has been widely used as a nonopioid antitussive drug with low toxicity and low potential for drug dependency. DXM is a psychotropic drug since 2003 in our country. This study was performed to investigate the immunotoxicity induced by abuse of DXM. Mice were orally exposed to DXM dissolved in saline as concentration of 30, 60, and 120 mg/kg b.w. before (day-2) or after (day+2) immunization (OVA-antigen, day 0). Thereafter, we measured the increased rate of body weight, relative weight of organ (thymus, spleen, liver, kidney) and OVA-specific IgM level in sera. In addition, mouse splenocytes were exposed to various concentration of DXM $(0.001{\sim}100{\mu}M)$ and cultured with B cell mitogen (LPS) and splenocytes proliferations (SP) were measured by MTT-assay. Thymus-weight were slightly changed on day 9 after administration of DXM, but body-, spleen-, liver-, and kidney-weight were not different between control group and DXM-treated group. SP to LPS were significantly decreased at high concentration $(100{\mu}M)$ when compared with controls. When DXM was administered before or after immunization with OVA-antigen, OVA-specific IgM levels were significantly lowered in a dose-dependent manner. These results indicate that DXM nay depress the primary humoral immune response to the initial antigenic challenge.

  • The microstructure of the reagion of carters, created by Cu and W-Cu shaped charge jets, in a 1020 mild steel target has been intestiaged. The region ahead of the crater created by the Cu shaped charge jet, reveals dramatic grain refinement implying the occurrence of a dynamic recrystallization, while that of W-Cu one dose a martensitic transformation indicative of heating up to an austenitic region followed by rapid cooling.The impacting pressure calculated when the W-Cu shaped charge jet encounters the target is higher than that of the Cu one. The micro-hardness of the region ahead of the crater created by the W-Cu shaped charge jet is also higher than that of the Cu one. The microstructure of W-Cu slug remained in the inside of the craters depicts the occurrence of the remarkable elongation of W particles during the liner collaphse. From these results, the microstructural variation of the region ahead of the crater with Cu and W-Cu shaped charge jets is discussed in trems of the pressure dependency of the transformation region of ferrite and austenite phases.
