Recently, we reported that Jeju ground water contains vanadium components and exerts antioxidant effects in vitro and in vivo via the scavenging of reactive oxygen species and enhancement of antioxidant enzyme activities. In the present study, the antioxidant actions of Jeju ground water were compared with those of tap water against gamma-ray radiation in mice. C57BL/6 mice were irradiated with gamma-ray at a dose rate of 2 Gy. The mice were then given tap water or Jeju ground water for 90 days. Jeju ground water compared with tap water enhanced the activities and levels of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase in irradiated liver tissues. Jeju ground water also enhanced the levels of intracellular reduced glutathione, which is vital for normal liver function and repair. These results suggest that vanadium-containing Jeju ground water can safeguard against the harmful actions of gamma-ray radiation through the support of hepatic antioxidant processes.

저선량 방사선조사에 의한 참박의 초기생육과 유묘 생리활성에 미치는 영향을 보고자 세 품종의 참박종자에 ${\gamma}$선을 $0.5{\sim}30\;Gy$까지 조사하여 온실에서 재배하며 관찰한 결과는 다음과 같다. 저선량에 의한 참박의 초기생육 효과는 품종에 따라 다른 경향을 보였는데 종자발아율의 경우는 대체로 2 Gy와 8 Gy에서 효과가 있었고, 초기생육에서는 Patner와 Support 품종에서는 4 Gy, 16 Gy, 20 Gy 조사구에서, FR용자는 1 Gy 조사구에서 효과적으로 증가하였다. 저선량 ${\gamma}$선을 조사한 참박 유식물체의 엽록소함량은 생육과 어떠한 경향을 보이지 않았으나 초기생육과 항산화효소 활성은 저선량 조사에 의해 대체로 증가하는 경향을 보였다.

This study was undertaken to investigate histological changes according to the radiosensitivity in the spermatogenic cells in Korean native pheasants. During spermatogenetic period, testes wete collected from male adult Korean native pheasant and they were used as experimental and control birds. The experimental group was divided into a single-dose whole body irradiation group(400, 600, 800 and 1000 rads) and a split-dose whole body irradiation groups(400/2, 600/2, 800/2 and 1000/2 rads). A Henseky's $^{60}Co$ ${\gamma}$-radiotherapy machine was used for this experiment and the dose rate of $^{60}Co$ ${\gamma}$-ray was 104 rads/min. The experimental birds were sacrificed at 24 and 72 hrs after irradiation and the control pheasants were sacrificed at the same time. General histological changes of seminiferous epithelial cells were observed by hematoxylin-eosin stain with light microscope. The results obtained are summarized as follows ; 1. In the single-dose and the split-dose irradiation groups, the average diameter of the seminiferous tubule was decreased compared with control group. 2. Seminiferous epithelial cells were more severely damaged after 72 hrs than after 24 hrs of single-dose irradiation of 400, 600 and 800 rads but the difference of cell injury was almost not observable with the elapsed time in the group of the single-dose irradiation of 1000 rads. 3. The damage of spermatogenic cells were more severe after 24 hrs than after 72 hrs of the split-dose irradiation of 400 rads but the split-dose irradiation of 600, 800 and 1000 rads were more severe after 72 hrs than after 24 hrs.

Alnine pellets were installed in a nuclear power plant for one or two operation cycles and measured by electron spin resonance (ESR) spectrometers for dosimetry. Dose and "x/y ratio", i.e., satellite peak over main center peak ratio, were measured for the returned alanine dosimeters from the nuclear power plant and compared to the values of reference alanine dosimeters exposed only to gamma rays. The variation of the x/y ratio change depended on the population of radicals from each radiation component with different LET. The gamma dose in a mixed radiation field was estimated by an additive gamma ray irradiation experiment and the measured dose rate at specified locations in the containment building.

종양치료를 위하여 고에너지 X-선 또는 감마선을 인체에 조사할 경우 피부 표면 선량이 최대지점 선량의 $30~60\%$에 불과 함으로 피부보호 효과(Skin sparing effect)를 얻을 수 있는 장점을 갖고있다. 그러나 종양특성과 발병위치에 따라 조사면을 크게 하거나 선속내에 차폐물질 또는 보상여과판을 설치하여 치료할 경우 피부보호 효과가 감소되거나 없어지는 경우가 있고 이것은 종양치료에 중요한 요인이 되고 있다. 연세 암전문병원에 설치된 코발트 60원격치료기와 선형가속기에서 발생되는 4 MV및 10 MV x-선에 대한 피부선량을 측정하였으며 차폐물고정판(Tray) 구성 물질의 종류와 조사면의 크기 및 피부와 고정판간의 거 리에 따른 피부선량의 변화를 평가하였다. 방사선 조사면이 $15{\times}15\;cm^2$ 이상 넓고 피부와 collimator 간의 거리가 30 cm 이상일 때 피부 표면선량은 코발트 -60, 4, 10 MV에서 각각최대선량의 40, 30, $20\%$로 감소하였으며 조사면의 크기와 차폐 고정판의 물질에 따라 증감하였다. 차폐물을 고정시키는 고정판을 Lucite로 제작하고 고정판과 피부간의 거리를 약 15 cm 이상 간격을 주면 표면선량을 $50\%$로 줄일 수 있었고 주석, 구리, 납등을 부착시키면 전방산란 선량비율이 감소되어 피부선량은 $35\%$로 피부보호 효과를 얻을 수 있었다. 방사선의 전방산란비율은 에너지와 흡수물질의 원자번호에 관계되며 납과 주석 이 각각 코발트-60 감마선과 4~10 MV x-선의 전방산란비를 가장 크게 감소시켰다.

The value of charge current, discharge current, $\varepsilon_r$' $\varepsilon_r"$, residual voltage was measured inorder to investigate electric properties in Ethylene Prophylene Rubber for is irradiated $CO^{60}\gamma$ ray 0-38.1 Mrad. The value of charge current and the discharging current of the EPR is influenced by $CO^{60}-{\gamma}$-irradiation dose The charging current and the discharging current of EPR increase, depending on the ratio of degradation. As the irradiation dose is increased, the peak of residual voltage moves to the slorter time. The properties specific electric constant due to time variation was appeared dispersion by plentiful $CO^{60}-{\gamma}$-irradiation dose. The increase of peak in $\varepsilon_r"$ is attrib uted to the irratiation dose almost proportionally.

Retaining a drug in the stomach by some means is sometimes necessary to extend the G1 absorption time of the drug more than 6-8 hrs. Hydrogel has often been examined for its feasibility as a dosage form, so called platform, that could be retained in the stomach due to its excellent swelling properties in the gastric fluid. In this study, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) hydrogel crosslinked by albumin or acrylated albumin was synthesized in a tablet form and evaluated for its possibility as the platform. The synthesis of the hydrogel was performed by $^{60}Co\;{\gamma}-ray$ irradiation of N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (monomer) in the presence of a crosslinking agent: aqueous solution of albumin or acrylated albumin. Synthetic conditions such as radiation dose, dose rate and concentration of crosslinking agent were varied in order to optimize the swelling and mechanical properties of the hydrogels. Degree of swelling of albumin-crosslinked PVP (Al-PVP) was highly dependent on radiation dose, dose rate and albumin concentration: it was decreased as they increased. On the other hand, that of acrylated albumin-crosslinked PVP (Acryl-PVP) was almost independent on them except dose rate: it was decreased as the radiation dose rate increased. The compressive strength of the two hydrogels was decreased as the dose rate increased. Digestion of both PVP in artificial gastric fluid containing pepsin was delayed by the ${\gamma}-ray$ irradiation. In conclusion, Al-PVP and Acry-PVP with diverse swelling and mechanical properties could be obtained by controlling synthetic conditions, mainly the irradiation dose rate.

본 연구에서는 고분자 수지의 가교율 향상을 위하여 가교제를 첨가한 low density polyethylene (LDPE), linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) 수지의 가교에 있어서 ${\gamma}$-선 조사의 효과를 조사하였다. LDPE와 LLDPE 시편들은 가교제와 혼합하여 13$0^{\circ}C$의 hot-press mold에서 sheet 형태의 준비하였다. ${\gamma}$-선은 질소분위기에서 50부터 150 kGy로 변화시키며 조사하였다. 이렇게 준비된 시편을 이용하여 방사선 조사선량, 가교제의 종류에 따른 가교율의 변화를 조사하였으며 가교에 따른 기계적 특성, 열안정성과 결정차도의 변화도 평가하였다. 그 견과 방사선 조사선량이 크고, 가교제가 첨가되면 가교율은 상승하였다. 그것과 비례하여 물리적 성질과 열적인 성질도 개선되었다. 그리고 방사선 조사에 의해서 순수한 수지의 겔화율이 증가하면 결정화도는 감소하였다.
