연구목적 : 국소재발을 줄이면서 합병증을 최소화하기 위한 방법으로 제안된 수술중 방사선 치료(IORT)는 육안으로 치료 범위를 확인 할 수 있는 이점이 있으나 조사 선축의 각도와 치료과 치료면의 거리 등이 조금만 틀려도 조사야의 선량에 차이가 있을 뿐 아니라 조사방사선의 동질성(Homogeneity)에도 영향을 미치게 된다. 직장암의 경우 조사 부위가 대부분에서 3차적인 경사면을 가진 골반벽이 됨으로 치료 cone의 정확한 Set-up은 적절한 gantry의 회전과 치료대(treatment couch)의 tilting이 조화되어야만 가능하다. gantry의 회전은 어느 기계에서나 가능하나 치료대의 tilting은 대부분에서 불가능함으로 영남대학교 의료원 치료 방사선과에서는 상하로의 tilting이 30$ ^{\circ} $까지 가능할 뿐 아니라 기존 치료대에 장착과 탈거가 5분이내에 쉽게 될수 있는 치료대를 개발하기 위함. 재료 및 방법 : IORT 치료대는 2cm 두께의 bekelite로 2cm 두께의 sponge를 leather로 싸서 수술대에 피나 기타용액이 스며들지 못하게 하였고 전체의 무게가 45kg을 넘지 않도록 하여 치료대의 양끝에 장착할 경우, 치료대의 수평이 유지되도록 하였다. 상하 경사각은 30$ ^{\circ} $를 유지토륵 하였고 lithotomy position에서도 side handle을 사용하여 경사각 조절이 가능토록 하였다. 결과 및 결론 : 1992년 9월부터 1993년 3월까지 여러번의 수정을 거친 후 대장 직장암의 IORT에 사용하고 있으며, 3차원적인 골반벽에의 정확한 접근(approach)이 가능할 뿐 아니라 기존 방사선 치료대에 장착과 탈거가 5분 이내에 가능하며, 상하 경사각 30$ ^{\circ} $ 정도로의 조절이 수술이나 마취에 전혀 영향을 주지 않는 상태에서 자유로이 조절 되므로 향후 대장직장암의 IORT에 크게 공헌할 수 있을 것으로 사료됨.

살충제와 방사선이 자주달개비 수술털 돌연변이에 미치는 복합적 영향을 평가하였다. 포트에서 생육된 Tradescantia 4430 식물체에 코발트 선원으로부터 0.3, 0.5, 1.0 및 2.0 Gy의 감마선을 조사하였다. 살충제는 감마선 조사 24시간 전에 농업용으로 사용되는 파라치온 유제를 살포하였다. CT 실험군과 Pa+${\gamma}$실험군에 있어서의 돌연변이 빈도가 증가한 고조기간은 방사선 조사 후 7 ~ 11일로 돌연변이 빈도는 방사선량 증가에 따라 선형적으로 증가하는 반응관계를 보였다. CT 실험군에서의 선량반응식 기울기 (증가계수)는 5.99 ($r^2$=0.988)이었으나, Pa+${\gamma}$ 실험군의 증가계수는 3.43 (r$x^-2$=0.981)으로 CT 실험군의 값에 비해 현격히 낮았다. 즉 Pa+${\gamma}$ 실험군이 CT 조사군에 비하여 방사선에 의한 돌연변이 유발 증가율이 43%억제됨을 확인할 수 있었으며 이는 살충제 전처리가 방사선에 의한 세포유전물질 손상을 오히려 저감시키는 효과를 나타낸 것이기 때문이다. 이 같은 실험결과는 두 가지 불리한 자극이 복합적으로 작용할 때 일반적으로 나타나는 공조작용과는 상반되는 결과이며 오히려 파라치온 전처리에 의해 식물체가 보다 강한 자극에 대비할 수 있도록 유도되는 적응반응이 유발되었거나 방사선효과에 대한 변화작용이 나타난 것으로 해석 가능하다.

The present study was undertaken to evaluate bone regenerative capacity around titanium screw implants placed in irradiated rat's tibiae. At one week after single 15-Gy dose irradiation, miniaturized titanium screw implants were inserted into anterior aspect of the upper tibia of rats weighing 200-250g. Seventy rats were involved: 35 rats were control and 35 rats radiation group. The rats were killed at different intervals as 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 weeks after implantation for histologic observation, histomorphometric analysis and immunohistochemical study with fibronectin and CD34 antibody. 1. Histologically, various stages of bone maturation and ossification can be seen at 4 weeks and regenerated bone close to edges demonstrates more advanced calcification, and network of new bone are well formed at 12 weeks in non-irradiated group. In contrast, active bone formation with increased contact of newly formed bone to implant surface was noted at 4 weeks and a significant amount of new bone formation and bone-implant contact is oberved at 12 weeks in irradiated group. 2. Histomorphometrical analysis confirmed these histologic findings. A significant difference in implant-bone contact and bone density was measured between the control and radiation group. Mean MBD was 62.2% in control group and 27.5% in radiation group, mean MBIC was 86.6% in control group and 47.7% in radiation group, and mean TBIC was 87.3% in control group and 45.6% in radiation group at 12 weeks after implantation. 3. In immunohistochemical study with fibronectin and CD34, radiation reduced hematopoietic progenitor cells severely and disturbed differentiation of osteoblast in bone marrow. The results of this study revealed bone healing capacity around implant after radiation therapy was severely impaired and irradiation reduces the capacity for osseointegration of titanium implants. Many factors including radiation dose, period between radiation and implantation, bone quality, time elapse between first and second surgery, type of prosthetics and hyperbaric oxygen therapy must be considered carefully in postradiation implantation.

Purpose : To investigate the effect of alkaloid fraction from Korean ginseng on radiation-induced DNA double strand breaks (dsb) formation and repair in murine lymphocytes Materials and Methods : We used the neutral filter elution technique to assay $^{60}Co\;{\gamma}$ ray-induced DNA double strand breaks formation and repair in C57BL/6 mouse spleen lymphocytes for evaluating the dose-response relationship in the presence of alkaloid fraction as a radioprotective agent. The lymphocytes were stimulated with Phytohemagglutinin (PHA, 2 u g/ml) to label $^3[H]-thymidine.$ Isotope-labelled lymphocytes in suspension were exposed to 100 Gy at $0^{\cdot}C$ in the alkaloid fraction-treated group and elution procedure was performed at PH 9.6. The extents of formation of radiation-induced DNA double strand breaks and repair were compared respectively via strand scission factor (SSF) and relative strand scission factor (RSSF). Results: Alkaloid fraction reduced the formation of double strand breaks with dose modification factor of 2 15, compared to control group Rejoining of DNA dsb appeared to take place via two components. The first fast component was completed within 20.4 minutes, but the second slow component was not completed until 220.2 minutes after irradiation. About $30\%$ of dsb formed by irradiation was ultimately unrejoined despite the administration of alkaloid fraction. The administration of alkaloid fraction had a great effect on the second slow component of repair; the half-time of fast component repair was not changed, but that of slow component was 621.8 minutes. Conclusion: Neutral filter elution assay Proved to be a very effective method to quantitate the extents of DNA dsb formation and its repair. By using this technique, we were able to evaluate the efficiency of alkaloid fraction from Korean ginseng as a valuable radioprotector. Alkaloid fraction can be used prophylactically to prevent or ameliorate the severe radiation damages in workers and neighbors around the atomic power plants. For more refined study, however, more advanced purification of alkaloid fraction wil be needed in the near future.

Purpose : To analyse clinical outcome and prognostic factors according to treatment modality, this paper report our experience of retrospective study of patients with esophageal cancer Materials and Methods : One hundred and ten patients with primary esophageal cancer who were treated in Presbyterian Medical Center from May 1985 to December 1992. We analysed these patients retrospectively with median follow up time of 28 months, one hundred and four patients($95{\%}$) were followed up from 15 to 69 months. In methods, twenty-eight patients were treated with median radiation dose irradiated 54.3Gy only. Fifty-six patients were treated with combined chemoradiotherapy. Sixteen cases of these patients were treated with concurrent chemoradiation and the other patients(forty cases) were treated sequential chemoradiotherapy. In concurrent chemoradiotherapy group, patients received 5-FU continuous IV infusion for 4 days. Cisplatin IV bolus. and concurrent esophageal irradiation to 30 Gy. After that patients received 5-FU continuous IV, Cisplatin bolus injection and Mitomycin-C bolus IV, Bleomycin continuous IV, and irradiation to 20 Gy. In sequential chemoradiotherapy group, the chemotherapy consisted of 5-FU 1,000mg/$m^2$ administered as a continuous 24 hour intravenous infusion during five days and Cisplatin 80-100mg/$m^2$ bolus injected, or Bleomycin, Vinblastine, Cisplatin, Methotrexate were used of 1 or 2 cycles. After preoperative concurrentm chemoradiation twenty-six patients underwent radical esophagectomy. Results : Ninety-three patients could be examined for response assessment, By treatment modality, response rates were $85.1{\%}$ for radiation alone group and $86.3{\%}$ for combined chemoradiation group. But in operation group, after one cycle of concurrent chemoradiation treatment, response rate was $61.9{\%}$. The pathologic complete response were $15.4{\%}$ in operation group. Overall median survival was II months and actuarial 5-year survival rate was $8{\%}$. The median survival interval was 6 months for radiation alone group, 11 months for combined chemoradiation group and 19 months for operation group. And also median survival was 19 months for complete responder group that 8 months for noncomplete responder group. In univariative analysis, statistically significant prognostic factors were tumor size, clinical stage, tumor response, and operation. In multivariative analysis, significantly better survival was associated with clinical stage, tumor response, radiation dose, and operation. Conclusion : Compared with radiotherapy alone, combined multimodality may improve the median survival in patients with localized carcinoma of the esophagus and toxicity is acceptable.

The quality properties of freeze-dried apples, pears, strawberries and pineapples gamma-irradiated at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 kGy were evaluated to develop germ-free products for immuno-compromised patients. The initial count of total aerobic bacteria in non-irradiated apples, pears, strawberries and pineapple was 2.5, 3.1, 2.6, and $3.2{\log}\;CFU{\cdot}g^{-1}$, respectively. Microorganisms were not observed in apples after 1 kGy, in pears and strawberries after 4 kGy, and in pineapples at 5 kGy within a detection limit of $10{\log}\;CFU{\cdot}g^{-1}$. In addition, the sterilization of each sample was confirmed at the same dose. The score for the overall acceptance of freeze-dried fruit irradiated at a sterilization dose was 5.5 for apples, 4.1 for pineapples, and 4.0 for the other fruits, whereas that of non-irradiated control sample was 5.6 for apples, 5.2 for pears, and 5.8 for strawberries and pineapples with a 7-point scale. As a result, gamma irradiation of 1 kGy for apples, 4 kGy for strawberries and pears, and 5 kGy for pineapples is sufficient to sterilize each freeze-dried fruit with acceptable sensory properties.

In this study, we investigated the applicability of the photostimulated luminescence (PSL), thermoluminescence (TL) and electron spin resonance (ESR) methods for freeze dried fruits which are not allowed to be irradiated in Korea. Apples and persimmons samples that had been dried with a freeze drier were irradiated at a dose of 1, 3, 5, 7, and 10 kGy, using a gamma radiator with a cobalt-60 source. With the PSL method, the dried apples showed photon counts of less then 700 counts/60 s (negative) in all the samples, whereas the dried persimmons that were gamma-irradiated above 3 kGy yielded photon counts of between 700 and 5,000 counts/60 s (intermediate). The TL results showed that this technique is useful for detecting irradiated samples; the TL ratios ($TL_1/TL_2$) measured for the food samples at an irradiation dose of 1 kGy were 0.13 for dried apples and 0.79 for dried persimmons. With regard to the results of ESR spectroscopy, the strength of the ESR signals from the dried fruits increased linearly in a dosedependent manner. However, the characteristic signal was not found in all the samples. In conclusion, the TL methods only can be used for the detection of gamma-irradiated dried apples and persimmons.
