We characterized the one-electron reduction of oligodeoxynucleotides with a 2-oxopropyl group on a thymine base ($d^{oxo}T$) and applied the reaction to the radiolytic activation of DNAzyme function. We designed a system in which the DNAzyme function of cleaving mRNA was suppressed by introduction of $d^{oxo}T$ into the strand of DNAzyme. Hypoxic X-irradiation led to recovery of the cleavage ability because the 2-oxopropyl group was removed to form unmodified DNAzyme. We characterized the DNAzyme function by monitoring the fluorescence change of fluorophore- and quencher-labeled target strands. We confirmed that the DNAzyme function could be regulated by hypoxic X-irradiation and the reaction of $d^{oxo}T$.

Application of X-ray irradiation of dried condiments was studied using commercially prepared dried garlic, onion and welsh onion flakes as model samples. Total load of aerobic microbes (TAM), color differences, and generation of off-flavor were quantified for samples individually irradiated with gamma rays, electrons, or X-rays. TAM load was decreased by irradiation in a dose-dependent manner. The three types of radiation did not differ in the extent of TAM reduction (P>0.05). The samples did not differ in color. Off-flavor was detected from 6 kGy-irradiated samples, regardless of radiation sources. The results indicated that X-ray irradiation could be used for irradiation of dried condiments with the same effects as gamma rays and an electron beam.

Diagnostic X-ray system is general and basic medical equipment to be used in mostly medical organizations, but being bombed of radioactivity is a big weak point when irradiates a X-ray to the human body so that ICRP restricted the radiation exposure tolerance of the human body. In order to reduce being bombed, the many research and development is now advanced. A lots of diagnostic X-ray machines have currently used due to the increase of occurrence efficiency of X-ray and precisely the output control by using the inverter which is a high speed switching semiconductors. For getting the confidence of the X-ray machine, the same radiation occurrence, same evaluation, and same irradiation condition are necessary when evaluates X-ray irradiation. It is the most important part for the accuracy of the test result and the patient safety. This paper has produced the high voltage occurrence system of full-wave rectification method by using the LC resonance inverter, and evaluated the irradiation reproducibility in order to use it in diagnosis of the patient.

In view of the importance of sulfhydryl groups in producing a chemical protection against ionizing radiation, an attempt was made to evaluate the changes of intrinsic non-protein sulfhydryl (NP-SH) and non-Protein disulfide(NP-SS) of the lung and liver tissues of rabbits following the whole body X-irradiation with 900 r either in single or fractionated $(300\;r{\times}3)$ dose. NP-SH was measured by Ellman's method, and NP-SS was measured by the electrolytic reduction method described by Dohan. Experiment was performed at 1,3,5,24 and 48 hours post·irradiation, and the results were compared with the control. The results thus obtained are summarized as follows; 1) Intrinsic levels of NP-SH and NP-SS of normal rabbits were $0.77{\pm}0.10$ and $0.61{\pm}0.07\;{\mu}mol/gm$ wet weight in liver, and $0.28{\pm}0.03$ and $0.54{\pm}0.03$ in lung tissues respectively. 2) NP-SH of liver after single X-irradiation showed no significant change in general, but at 48 hours post·irradiation, it was elevated comparing with the normal value. 3) Levels of NP-SS in liver was decreased than the normal value in the irradiated groups, and the lowest level was observed at 3 hours after single X-irradiation and at 5 hours after fractionated irradiation. 4) In lung tissues, levels of NP-SS showed no significant change from the control at earlier experimental hours, but a great decrease was observed at later Part of the experiment.

Oxygen consumption rate $(QO_2)$ and protein content of liver and kidney of the Ehrlich ascites tumor-bearing mouse were measured from 6th till 14th day after the inoculation of $4{\times}10^6$ Ehrlich ascites tumor cells. The results thus obtained were compared with those of the groups in which; 1) Whole body x-irradiation with 400 r was done to mouse prior to the inoculation of $4{\times}10^6$ Ehrlich ascites tumor cells, 2) Same number of the irradiated tumor cells were inoculated after subjecting the tumor cells to x-irradiation with 400 r or 900 r in vitro, and 3) the normal, and the following results were obtained; 1. $QO_2$ of the liver and kidney of the tumor-bearing mouse were all lower than the normal and a gradual decrease of $QO_2$ in both liver and kidney was noted as the ascites tumor was progressively developing. 2. In the groups where whole body x-irradiation with 400 r was done, or x-irradiation of ascites tumor cells in vitro with either 400 r or 900 r, $QO_2$ of the liver and kidney were lower than the normal, and the pattern of the decrease was similar in the case of the tumor-bearing mouse. 3. Protein contents in all the groups showed lower values than the normal, and the decrease was gradual as the ascites tumor was developing. 4. $QO_2$ and protein levels in the liver were generally lower than those in the kidney. 5. A certain cancerous metabolism was, therefore, noted in the remote organs of Ehrlich ascites tumor-bearing animal.

Various oxide particles are synthesized in an ambient condition using an electron beam irradiation system. The formation of oxide particles is confirmed by FT-IR spectra results and the X-ray photoelectron spectrum. It is also shown that the morphology and size of oxide particles are significantly influenced by the type and flowrate of dilution gas. The energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis also confirms that various oxide particles are synthesized.

본 연구는 6 MeV LINAC에서 발생한 X-선을 생쥐 생체에 조사한 후 난소에서 난포의 형태적 변화 양상과 난포의 세포자연사가 일어나는 과정을 TUNEL 염색방법을 이용하여 광학현미경으로 관찰하였다. 정상난포와 퇴화난포 및 방사선이 조사된 난포에서 세포예정사가 발생하는 것을 확인하기 위해서 TUNEL 염색을 실시한 결과, 정상난소의 퇴화난포에서 양성반응을 보이는 과립층세포들은 갈색을 띠고 있었고, 핵은 응축되어 나타났다. 그러나, 정상난포에서는 양성반응이 나타나지 않았다. X-선을 조사한 난소의 난포는 TUNEL 염색에 강한 양성반응이 나타났고, 600 cGy의 X-선 조사에서 난모세포는 이미 세포예정사가 진행되어 파괴되었음을 확인할 수 있었다. 그리고 난포막을 형성하고 있는 난막세포의 핵들도 양성반응으로 나타나, 갈색으로 염색이 되었으며, 수질의 결합조직세포들의 핵도 갈색으로 염색되어 관찰되었다. 또한, 대부분의 세포들은 세포예정사가 진행되어 있으며, apoptotic body들이 난포 내에 산재되어 있었다. 이 시기의 난소조직의 전반적인 염색도는 저선량의 X-선 조사에서보다 더 현저히 강한 염색성이 나타났다.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects on sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) and chromosome aberrations in PHA or LPS stimulated mouse spleen and bone marrow lymphocytes after an acute whole body irradiation. Frequencies of sister chromatid exchanges were significantly increased with the increased dose(from zero to 400tad) but there was no differences between B-cell and T-cell. By times, the maximum induced SCE levels was observed at 12 hours after irradiation and then returned to base level at one day in 100rad group and three day in 400rad group. There was a significant difference in chromosome aberration with increasing exposure. X-ray irradiated chromosome aberration was long lived relative to SCE. This results show that counting the incidence of SCE may not provide a sensitive system for detecting X-ray exposure.

Male rats of Albino strain were divided into four groups. The radioprotective effect of treatment with S-2(3-aminopropylamino)ethylphosphorothioic acid(WR-2721) using the dose of 200 mg/kg by intraperitonial injection on rats for 20 min prior to whole body x-ray irradiation (8 Gy) was studied. The harzardous effects of x-ray irradiation were greatly corrected In the treated group. The concentrations of total serum cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglyceride, and phospholipid were greatly affected, showing insignificant changes in the treated group of animals. The drastic hyperglycemic effect of x-ray irradiation in the untreated group decreased to a normal level. These results show the potentiality of WR-2721 as a radioprotective agent.
