Radiation proctitis and radiation cystitis are major complications for patients with cervical carcinoma following radiotherapy. In the present study, we aimed to determine the potential risk factors for the development of radiation proctitis and radiation cystitis after irradiation. A total of 1,518 patients with cervical carcinoma received external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) followed by high-dose-rate intracavitary brachytherapy (HDRICB) in our hospital. The incidences of radiation proctitis and radiation cystitis were recorded and associations with different factors (age, time period, tumor stage) were analyzed with ${\chi}^2$ (chi-squared) and Fisher exact tests. We found that 161 and 94 patients with cervical carcinoma were diagnosed with radiation proctitis and radiation cystitis, respectively, following radiotherapy. The prevalence of Grade I-II radiation proctitis or radiation cystitis was significantly lower than that of Grade III (radiation proctitis: 3.82% vs. 6.76%, P < 0.05; radiation cystitis: 2.31% vs. 3.87%, P < 0.05) and was significantly enhanced in patients with late stage (IIIb) tumor progression compared to those in early stage (Ib, IIa) (P < 0.05). Moreover, the incidence of radiation proctitis and cystitis was not correlated with age or, time period following radiation, for each patient (P > 0.05). These observations indicate that a late stage of tumor progression is a potential risk factor for the incidence of radiation proctitis and cystitis in cervical carcinoma patients receiving radiotherapy.

고구마 산성 peroxidase (POD) (swpal) 또는 중성 POD(swpnl)을 도입한 형질전환 담배에 다양한 선량의 감마선을 조사한 후 30일에 항산화효소 활성과 식물생장에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 감마선은 조사선량에 비례하여 형질전환 식물체와 정상식물에 관계없이 모든 식물체의 생장을 크게 억제시켰다. 50-70 Gy 처리에서 식물체의 신장이 크게 억제되었고 새로운 잎이 발생되지 못하였다. 10-50 Gy의 조사선량에서는 POD, superoxide dismutase, catalase 활성에 큰 변화를 주지 않았다. 이러한 결과는 고구마 POD는 감마선 조사에 의해 유도되는 산화적인 스트레스에 대한 보호효과에 관여하지 않음이 시사된다.

In order to investigate the radiation effects induced to electrical properties of Biaxially-Oriented Polypropylen film, several observations were carried out to the sample irradiated to various dose by $Co^{60}-{\gamma}$ ray, on the characteristics of TSC spectra measuered as a function of electric field applied to a sample of 15[ ${\mu}m$] thick. The TSC spectra observed in the temperature range of $153{\sim}403[K]$ with the electric field of intensity $10{\sim}60$ [MV/m], have shown two of the distinguished peak such as ${\beta}$, ${\alpha}$, each of which appeared at $-5{\sim}20$ [ $^{\circ}C$] and 90 [ $^{\circ}C$] respectively. As the conclusions, obtained from the studies, the origin of ${\alpha}$ peak in TSC seems to be attributed by thermal excitation of ions trapped with $0.4{\sim}0.8[eV]$ deep, at the defects formed by $Co^{60}-{\gamma}$ irradiation in a crystaline region. The origin of ${\beta}$ peak was regarded as the depolarization process of "OH" or "CO" dipole with the activation energy of $0.4{\sim}0.6[eV]$ in an amorphous region.

The study was carried out to evaluate the affect of proton beam radiation on production of bulbil and tuber including change of endogenous gibberellins, of Dioscorea opposita Thunb. The yield of bulbils and tubers from non- and irradiated D. opposita Thunb at doses of 5, 10, 15 and 20 Gy were determined. Endogenous gibberellins were also quantified by GC/MS analysis. D. opposita tubers irradiated at 15 Gy produced higher bulbil production than non-irradiated plants. Enlarged bulbil (above size diameter 4 mm) was significantly increased at 15 Gy. Bioactive endogenous $GA_4$ was dominant in bulbils and tubers irradiated with proton beam rather than $GA_1$. Major gibberellins biosynthetic pathways in bulbils and tubers of D. opposita plants were non C-13 hydroxylation route. From the results of this study, 15 Gy proton beam radiation was suggested as an optimal dose that can produce high amounts of bulbil for mass production of D. opposita plant.

에테르기를 가진 수용성 포스파젠 고분자를 감마광선에 노출시켜 좋은 수분-팽윤도를 가진 친수성 겔을 만들었다. 이 친수성 겔들의 물리적 강도가 감마광선의 강도에 따라 조절될 수 있었다. 트립신과 수용성 포스파젠 고분자를 함께 감마광선에 쪼여 트립신을 겔의 망 사이로 고정시켰다. 고정된 트립신의 활성도는 N-${\alpha}$-benzoyl-1-arginine-p-nitroanilide와 반응시킨 후 분광학적인 방법으로 조사하였다. 고정된 트립신은 적어도 500시간 후에도 상당히 좋은 활성도 수율과 안정도를 가지고 있었음을 보여주었다.

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 acute radiation sickness, particularly in head and neck cancer. The authors developed iridium-192 ribbons recently to replace the radium needles. Total of 13 head and neck cancer patients had been treated with Ir-192 ribbons during last one year from October 1986 to September 1987, and the results were analysed to assess the applicability of the fabricated sources. The conclusion is as follows; 1) Iridium implant achieved 54% (7/13) of complete response and 69% (9/13) of overall response rate in head and neck cancer. 2) Iridium is superior to 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.

The fast neutron reactor BOR-60 is one of the key experimental facilities worldwide to perform large-scale tests of fuel, absorbing, and structural materials for advanced reactors. The BOR-60 reactor was put into operation in December 1969, and by the end of 2014 it had been operating on power for ~265,000 hours. BOR-60 still demonstrates potential capabilities to extend the lifetime of sodium-cooled fast reactors. The BOR-60 lifetime should have expired at the end of 2014. Over the past few years, a great scope of work has been performed to justify the possibility of extending its lifetime. The work included inspection of the equipment conditions, calculations and experimental research on operating parameters and the conditions of nonremovable components, investigation of the structural material samples after their long-term operation under irradiation, etc. Based on the results of the work performed, the residual lifetime was evaluated and the reactor operator made a decision to extend the lifetime period of the BOR-60 reactor. After considering both a set of documents about the reactor conditions and the positive decision of independent experts, the Regulatory Authority of the Russian Federation extended the BOR-60 operating license up to 2020.

The present paper reports on a trial to shed further light on the characterization, applications, and operation of radar speed guns or Gunn diodes on different radiation environments of neutron or g fields. To this end, theoretical and experimental investigations of microwave oscillating system for outer-space applications were carried out. Radiation effects on the transient parameters and electrical properties of the proposed devices have been studied in detail with the application of computer programming. Also, the oscillation parameters, power characteristics, and bias current were plotted under the influence of different ${\gamma}$ and neutron irradiation levels. Finally, shelf or oven annealing processes were shown to be satisfactory techniques to recover the initial characteristics of the irradiated devices.

In order to evaluate their possible subacute toxicity, the male and female of SD rats were given to 30 kGy irradiated porridge for three months. During the experimental periods, appearance, behavior, mortality, food and water consumption of rats fed the 30 kGy porridge were not affected compared with the non-irradiated control. In urine analysis, hematological as well as in serum biochemical findings, no significant differences were found between the non-irradiate control and 30 kGy porridge group. Although minor changes in biochemical parameters were observed, they were in the normal ranges. These results indicate that porridge irradiated at 30 kGy did not show any toxic effects under these experimental conditions.

본 논문은 쥐의 악성종양에 대한 광역학적 치료효과를 조사한 연구이다. 실험방법으로서는 쥐를 대조군과 대상군의 두 그룹으로 나누어 HepG2 and Hela cell line을 주입하여 암조직을 배양하였다. 쥐의 악성종양에 포토포린을 30시간 전에 주입하고 630nm와 650nm의 레이저를 적용하였다. 광역학적 치료후에 쥐의 두 그룹에 대한 악성종양크기, 괴사율, 악성종양 성장률, 악성종양조직의 병리학적 변화를 분석하였다. 실험결과 조직에서 악성종야세포의 괴사를 보였으며, 광조사 시간과 광량에 따라 악성종양 크기가 줄어들고 악성종양의 괴사변화를 나타냈다. 그러나 630nm와 650nm의 파장차이에 대한 악성종양의 변화의 차이는 발견할 수 없었으며 다른 정상조직에서의 손상도 발견되지 않았다.
