목 적 : 인공 유방 확대술을 받은 환자가 유방암 방사선치료를 받을 경우 유방의 크기별로 치료 조사야와의 거리에 따른 치료반대 측 유방조직에 피폭되는 선량 및 차폐의 효율성을 평가해 보고자 한다. 대상 및 방법 : 인체팬텀(Rando-phantom)을 이용하여 유방 모형의 크기별 (200 cc ~ 500 cc) CT영상을 획득한 후 크기 별로 일 선량 180 cGy의 왼쪽 유방암 방사선 치료계획을 세웠다. 유방 모형이 커질수록 치료 반대 측 유방모형의 표면과 X선의 진행지점 사이에 발생하는 거리가 가까워지게 설정하였고, 체표에 입사하는 선속중심축을 기준으로 3 cm, 6 cm 떨어진 점에서 반대측 유방 표면에 수직으로 내린 거리를 각 A point, B point로 설정하였다. 그리고 유두지점에서 외측으로 2 cm 되는 점을 C point, 체표중앙에서 외측으로 6 cm 되는 점을 D point로 설정하였다. 유방 모형의 크기별로 각 측정지점에 MOSFET을 부착하여 6 MV, 10 MV, 15 MV의 X선 에너지로 조사하여 측정하였다. 이와 동일한 조건으로 납 2 mm의 두께로 차폐한 후의 선량 값과 납 2 mm 아래에 bolus 3 mm를 부착하여 차폐한 후의 선량 값을 얻었다. 결 과 : 유방 모형이 200 cc에서 500 cc로 커짐에 따라 유방 모형의 표면과 X선의 진행지점과의 거리가 A point에서는 2.14 cm에서 최대 1.23 cm으로 근접하였고 B point에서는 2.55 cm에서 1.31 cm으로 근접하였다. 유방 모형의 크기에 따라 180 cGy 기준으로 200 cc 대비 500 cc의 산란선 측정값이 A point에서 3.22 ~ 4.17%, B point에서 4.06 ~ 6.22%, C point는 0.4~0.5% 증가하였고, D point에서는 크기별로 측정값의 차이가 0.4% 미만이었다. X선 에너지가 커짐에 따라 6 MV 대비 15 MV X선에서 180cGy 기준으로 산란선이 A point에서는 4.06~5%, B point에서는 2.85~4.94%, C point에서는 0.74~1.65% 증가하였고, D point에서는 측정값 차이가 0.4% 미만이었다. 차폐체로 납 2 mm를 사용하였을 경우 A와 B point에서 평균 9.74%, C point에서 2.8%, D point에서 1% 미만의 산란선 감소효과가 있었고, 납과 bolus를 함께 차폐하였을 경우 A와 B point에서 평균 9.76%, C point에서 2.2%, D point에서 1% 미만의 산란선 감소효과가 있었다. 결 론 : 일반적으로 인공 유방 확대술을 받은 환자의 경우 유방의 크기에 따라 치료 반대편 유방 표면과 치료조사야의 거리가 가까울수록 유방 표면이 받는 산란선이 증가하였다. 동일한 크기의 유방 모형에서는 사용 X선 에너지가 커질수록 산란선에 의한 피폭이 증가하는 경향을 보였고, 이는 사용 X선의 에너지 선택에 있어 유방암의 방사선 치료계획에서 허용되는 한도에서는 낮은 X선 에너지의 사용이 반대측 유방의 선량 감소에 유리할 것으로 여겨진다.

Verification of dose distribution is an essential part of ensuring the treatment planning system's (TPS) calculated dose will achieve the desired outcome in radiation therapy. Each measurement have uncertainty associated with it. It is desirable to reduce the measurement uncertainty. A best approach is to reduce the uncertainty associated with each step of the process to keep the total uncertainty under acceptable limits. Point dose patient specific quality assurance (QA) is recommended by American Association of Medical Physicists (AAPM) and European Society for Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO) for all the complex radiation therapy treatment techniques. Relative and absolute point dose measurement methods are used to verify the TPS computed dose. Relative and absolute point dose measurement techniques have a number of steps to measure the point dose which includes chamber cross calibration, electrometer reading, chamber calibration coefficient, beam quality correction factor, reference conditions, influences quantities, machine stability, nominal calibration factor (for relative method) and absolute dose calibration of machine. Keeping these parameters in mind, the estimated relative percentage uncertainty associated with the absolute point dose measurement is 2.1% (k=1). On the other hand, the relative percentage uncertainty associated with the relative point dose verification method is estimated to 1.0% (k=1). To compare both point dose measurement methods, 13 head and neck (H&N) IMRT patients were selected. A point dose for each patient was measured with both methods. The average percentage difference between TPS computed dose and measured absolute relative point dose was 1.4% and 1% respectively. The results of this comparative study show that while choosing the relative or absolute point dose measurement technique, both techniques can produce similar results for H&N IMRT treatment plans. There is no statistically significant difference between both point dose verification methods based upon the t-test for comparing two means.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to assess removal efficiency of non-point pollutants and applicability for non-point pollutant reduction facilities by conducting the demonstration project operation. METHODS : In order to analyze removal efficiency of non-point pollutants for facilities such as a grassed swale, a small constructed wetland, a free water surface wetland, a horizontal sub-surface flow wetland, and a sand filtration, the field data including specifications of facilities, rainfall, inflow and runoff rainfall effluent etc. was acquired after occurring rainfall events, and the acquired data was analyzed for removal efficiency rate to assess road non-point pollutants facilities using event mean concentration (EMC) and summation of load (SOL) methods. RESULTS : The results of analyzing rainfall effluent, non-point pollutant sources showed that total suspended solid (TSS), chemical oxygen demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), chrome (Cr), zinc (Zn), and lead (Pb) can be removed through non-point pollutant reduction facilities by 60.3% ~ 100%. Especially removal efficiency of TSS, COD and BOD is relatively higher than removal efficiency of other non-point pollutant sources in all kind of non-point pollutant facilities. CONCLUSIONS : Based on the result of this study, even though natural type of non-point pollutant reduction facilities for roads occupy small areas comparing with drainage basin areas, most of non-point pollutant sources would be removed through the facilities.

Objective : Kuesu point is a newly discovered point, it is located in 3-cun from the centre of sacrum laterally, paralleled to the 4th foramen on the sacrum. This controlled trial was to evaluate the superior effect of Kuesu point on back pain which radiated to lower extremities. Methods : Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) and Single Blind in patient was designed. Patients (n=31) were randomized to two groups, Kuesu-point acupuncture group (Group A, n=16) and non Kuesu point acupuncture group (Group B, n=15). Group A was acupunctured on B25 (大腸兪), B26 (關元兪) and B60 (崑崙) with Kuesu point. Group B was acupunctured on the same points without Kuesu point. The clinical subjects were female patients. Beside acupuncture, the other therapies were excluded. Clinical period was three weeks total. Each group was treated 4-5 times per week for 3 weeks. The outcome measurements were The Estimation Index of Backache (quality of life), Pain Rating Scale (pain intensity) and other physical examinations (ROM, SLR, etc.). Results : 31 patients (Group A: n=16, Group B: n=15) were Randomized, 6 of them dropped out. Eventually 25 patients (Group A: n=15, Group B: n=10) were included in the analysis. Group A acupunctured on Kuesu point scored more significant Estimation Index of Backache and lower PRS (Pain Rating Scale) than Group B acupunctured without Kuesu point (p=0.003/2). It turned out that the group acupunctured on Kuesu point show meaningful high improvement index. And other examination's results showed that the treatment effects of Group A are twice as better as Group B. Conclusion : These results suggest that Kuesu point acupuncture was more effective on lower back pain and improved the life quality of patients, being compared with non Kuesu point acupuncture.
