  • There are some differences as a result of comparison between internal and external standard method. Thin-film XRD was used to measure the thin damaged layer by proton irradiation. Experiment was performed by external standard method to measure bulk sample accurately. A little changes of crystallite size and lattice parameter by small dose were observed. X-ray penetrates too deeply above damaged layer of graphite despite of small X-ray incident angle.

  • Brachytherapy is known to be a good modality to achieve local control as a boost treatment following limited external irradiation, which may reduce the external beam related complication particularly in head and neck cancer. The authors developed iridium-192 ribbons recently to replace the radium needles in the field of brachytherapy. Total of 48 cases of head and neck and pelvic-perineal cancer patients had been treated with Ir-192 ribbons during last two years from October 1986 to September 1988, and the results were analyzed to assess the applicability of the fabricated sources. The conclusion is as follows; 1. Iridium implant resulted excellent tumor control effect in clinical application. 2. Iridium is superior than radium and cecium in brachytherapy because of easier to use and lesser exposure to the personnel. 3. Afterloading technique is useful to modify dose distribution, to expand treatment site and method, and to develop interstitial hyperthermia.

  • We have achieved an improved stability of an analog electro-optic effect in FLC/polymer composite films. The optimization of device depends on both the composition of the FLC/polymer mixture and the energy of UV irradiation. This device exhibits continuous gray scales and the mechanical stability against external forces.

  • We have studied, by a nonisotopic in situ DNA end-labeling (ISEL) technique, frequency of apoptosis in the external granular layer (EGL) of the cerebellum after whole-body irradiation of newborn mice and intestinal crypt cell of adult mice by gamma-rays from $^{60}Co$. The extent of changes following 2 Gy(10.9 Gy/min) was studied at 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, or 24h after exposure. The maximal frequency was found 4-8h after exposure. The mice that received 0.18, 0.36, 0.54, 1.08, 1.98, or 3.96 Gy were examined 6h after irradiation. Measurements performed after irradiation showed a dose-related increase in apoptotic cells in each of the mice studied. The dose-response curves were analyzed by a linear-quadratic model; frequency(%) of apoptotic cell in the newborn mice cerebellum was ($13.49{\pm}1.175$)D+$(-1.52{\pm}0.334)D^2$+0.048($r^2=0.981$, D = dose in Gy) and frequency(number per crypt) of apoptotic cell in the intestinal crypt of adult mice was ($3.857{\pm}0.420$)D+$(-0.535{\pm}0.120)D^2$+0.155($r^2=0.952$, D = dose in Gy). It provides the basis required for a better understanding of results which will be obtained in any further studies for biological responses of radiation using newborn and adult mice.

  • 방사선 조사후 방광의 손상에 관한 실험에서 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 손상군, 회복군 모두에서 암수가 비슷한 변화를 보여 방사선에 의한 손상에서 암수의 차이는 없었다. 2. 점막의 변화는 40GY 조사군에서 50GY군 보다 빨리 회복됨이 관찰되었고 14주에서 대부분 소실되었다. 3. 혈관의 변화는 40GY, 50GY 모두에서 혈관확장증, 초자질화, 내피하층과 중간층의 섬유화 등이 관찰되었으며 혈관주변의 섬유화는 15주까지 관찰되었다. 결체조직과 균육층의 변화는 40GY, 50GY 모두에서 조사후 15주까지 지속됨을 볼 수 있었다. 마우스의 평균수명(460일-1000일)에 비해 본 연구의 추적 기간이 105일로서 충분히 길다고는 할 수 없으나 상기 여러 결과로 미루어 후기 반응의 감소 및 예방을 위해 세심한 조사 계획이 있어야 함을 시사하였다.

  • Embryos and fetuses are more sensitive to various environmental agents than adults of children biological effects following the exposure, such as intrauterin, malformation, have intimate conception with the prenatal exposure. There have been many studies on radiation and other agent. However, imformation about the ultrasound effects is limited. It is very important to study the effect of ultrasound with these kinds of fatera in consideration of ultrasound protection and safty. In this study, embryonic and fefal effects of ICR mouse embryos irradiated on 24, 48, 12 and 192 hpc of preimplantation and organogenesis period at the intensity of $0.5{\sim}3\;W/cm^2$ were investigated. Many type of external malformation observed in mouse irradiated on 72 hpc and 192 hpc. However, the embryos irradiated on 24 hpc and 48 hpc, at witch embryos had less then 6 cells and were pre-compaction stage, had no sensitivity for external malformation. The threshold doses of external malformation in mouse irradiated on 72 hpc and 192 hpc, at which embryos were consisted of $16{\sim}32$ cells and neural formation stage, were $1\;W/cm^2$ and $0.5\;W/cm^2$.

  • In this paper, the effect of unsteady radiation on the horizontal fin of an external fuel tank by flame of a flying flare was analysed to see the temperature increase of the fin and the thermal impact on the fin. Radiation between two surfaces was calculated using the concept of radiation resistance of surface and space including radiation, irradiation and shape factor for two flying trajectories of a flare, maximum temperature of 2200 K, emissivity of 0.95, flying velocity of 30 m/s, and thermal surface area of $0.01m^2$. The result shows that the temperature increase of the fin is 0.236 K, and the thermal effect on the fin is ignorable. And it was found that temperature is increased a little because small amount of heat energy can be radiated due to the short exposure time to the heat source.

  • 1979년 5월부터 1981년 12월까지 총 524명의 자궁경부암 환자가 근치적 목적하에 방사선 치료를 받았다. 524명의 환자중, 356명이 코발트 선원을 사용한 원격 조정 아프터로딩 고선량률 강내조사 시스템 (Ralstron)으로써 치료받았으며 168명의 환자는 라듐 선원을 사용한 저선량률 강내 조사를 받았다. 외부조사는 골반부 전체에 총 40-50 Gy가 주어졌으며, 이어서 A지점에 10-13번에 걸쳐 30-39 Gy의 강내 조사를 시행하는 치료지침이 사용되었다. 강내조사는 3 Gy씩, 일주일에 세번 주어졌다. 고선량률 강내조사를 받은 군에서의 5년 실제생존률은 IB기 (N=20)가 $77.6{\%}$, II기 (N=182)가 $68.2{\%}$ 그리고 III기 (N=148)가 $50.9{\%}$였다. 저산량률 강내조사군에서의 5년 생존률은 IB기 (N=22)가 $87.5{\%}$, II기 (N=91)가 $66.3{\%}$, 그리고 III기 (N=52)가 $55.4{\%}$였다. 생존률은 병기에 따라서는 통계학적으로 유의한 차이를 보였지만, 두 강내조사군 간에는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 방사선치료후 내장의 후기 합병증은 고선량률 강내조사 군에서 $3.7{\%}$, 저산량률 강내조사군은 $8.4{\%}$에서 관찰되었다. 그러나 외과적 치료가 필요할 만큼 심한 합병증은 없었다. 방광에서 발생한 합병증의 빈도는 고선량률 강내조사군이 $1.4{\%}$, 저선량률 강내조사군은 $2.4{\%}$였다. 고선량률 강내조사의 시술은 외래 환자에 시행하기에 기술적으로 간단하고 쉬우며 마취가 필요없고, 환자가 매우 잘 견딘다. 담당자에 대한 방사선 피폭도 저선량률 강내조사에 비해 사실상 거의 없다. 고선량률 강내조사의 경우 치료시간이 짧기 때문에 주어진 시간내에 더 많은 환자를 치료할 수 있다. 따라서 많은 환자를 치료해야 되는 암센터의 경우, 고선량률 강내조사 시스템이 훨씬 더 권장되어 진다. 그러나 더욱 향상된 결과를 얻기 위하여, 다른 치료 방식으로 광범위한 연구를 통해, 고선량률 강내조사의 적절한 선량-분할조사 계획과 외부조사와 강내조사의 적절한 배합이 이루어져야 할 것이다.

  • A new method of limb sparing by resection, extracorporeal irradiation and reimplantation has several theoretical advantages. This method preserves the mobility of a joint and avoids the problem of loosening or breakage of tumor prosthesis. This study involved using extracorporeal irradiated autogenous joint transplantation for reconstruction after en bloc resection, and observed the periods of functional union and histological changes in irradiated tissue of the knee joint. This study also aimed to clarify whether the degeneration of articular cartilage is induced in rabbits by a single 50Gy dose of irradiation at the knee joint. Twenty New Zealand rabbits about three kilograms were randomized into two groups of 10 rabbits each. In group 1, as control, we resected the knee joint followed by reimplantation without irradiation. Group 2 received extracorporeal irradiation on the resected knee joint followed by reimplantation. Following are the results of these observations. The osteotomy site showed external callus formation in the roentgenographic finding eight weeks after reimplantation. There was marked degenerative changes in the collagen fiber of the irradiated anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus during the fourth week, but new blood-vessel formation was observed in the vicinity. There was degenerative changes in the collagen fiber of articular cartilage treated extracorporeal irradiation at four and eight weeks in the scanning electron micrographic findings. These findings was in contrast to those of subchondral bone which showed decreased cellularity and empty lacuna at four and eight weeks. Autoradiography demonstrated active [$^3H$]uridine incorporation by irradiated chondrocyte at eight weeks after reimplantation. These results indicate that when destruction of the articular cartilage and soft tissue of the knee joint is not severe, extracorporeal irradiation and reimplantation can be used with several advantage in maintaining movement of the joint while avoiding problems of tumor prosthesis and rejection, and therefore extracorporeal irradiated autogenous joint transplantation can be used as a limb-sparing procedure for temporary biological spacer in the childhood bone tumor around the knee.

  • In the event a population of animals is exposed to ionizing radiation, proper disposition of animals will minimize loss to the farmer and protect the public from unwholesome meat and dairy products. Clinical response is an important factor in considering salvage of animals for food following exposure to ionizing radiation whether the dose is lethal or not. It is the purpose of this report to present the discussions of blood picture and growth of y ung growing rabbits exposed to cobalt-60 gamma-irradiation. The experimental animals were Hyrnalayan rabbits of 65 days old. The body weight for all animals of the time of irradiation was approximately 450g. The 96 rabbits used in the experiment were allotted t groups of eight. Rabbits in one group served as controls and the others were exposed to single doses of 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600 and 700 Roentgens (R). The exposure does rate averaged 15 R per minute. Central blood was obtained by heart puncture. Erythrocyte and leukocyte enumerations and, determinations of hemoglobin in blood and hematocrit value were made in the usual manner. Erythrocyte counts, concentrations of hemoglobin in blood, and hematocrit readings dropped to the lowest value between 1 and 4 weeks postirradiation, returning towards the control values. But recovery was not complete at the time of the last determination on 6 weeks postirradiation. There was a progressive decrease with increasing radiation does in the above values. Mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration were not affected by the irradiation. After irradiation of each does the numbers of total leukocyte and the absolute numbers of various types of white cell began to decrease rapidly, and reached a minimum after 2 weeks, returning towards normal levels. But recovery was not complete at the time of the last determination on 6 weeks postirradiation. The reductions in total leukocyte and differential counts as the radiation does increases were apparent. Relative neutrophilia was observed in each irradiated group because of more expense of lymphocytes after irradiation. Growth rate of the rabbits was not affected by 100 R of whloe-body irradiation, while rabbits irradiated with 200, 300, 400 and 500 R showed marked depression of growth rate. As the radiation does increases, a depression of growth rate was apparent. The rabbits exposed to 600 and 700 R ceased from growing and recovery was not recognized during the experimental period.
