Purpose : To evaluate the changes of differential counts and lymphocyte subsets in cancer patients' leukocyte before and after radiotherapy. Materials and Methods : From Dec. 1994 to Mar 1995, the changes of leukocyte and its subsets in 16 patients who received radiotherapy in the Dept. of Radiation Oncology of Dong-A University Hospital were investigated. Radiation was delivered from 2700 cGy to 6660 cGy with median dose of 5400 cGy. The results of pre- and Post-radiotherapy were analyzed by paired T-test. The results of patients Who received < 50 Gy and $\geq$ 50 Gy were analyzed by Wilcoxon test. Results : Before and after radiotherapy, there was not any significant differences in the counts of leukocyte, granulocyte and monocyte. A remarkable decrease was noted in lymphocyte counts after radiotherapy(p=0.015). T cells, B cells and natural killer cells were also decreased in number after radiotherapy but it was not significant statistically. 1 helper cells and T suppressor cells were also decreased in number(p>0.05). The ratio of T helper/suppressor cell was decreased from 1.52 to 1, 11 and it was significant statistically(p=0.016). The portion of T suppressor cell among all T cells was increased after radiotherapy (p=0.0195). No significant difference was observed in the analysis of leukocyte and its subsets between patients who received < 50 Gy and $\geq$ 50 Gy, Conclusion : Radiotherapy caused remarkable decrease in lymphocyte count and its subsets. Among all lymphocyte subsets, T helper cell might be the most vulnerable to radiation, considering decreased ratio of T helper/suppressor cell count after radiotherapy.

본 연구는 랫드에서 Freund's complete adjuvant를 랫드의 후지에 투여하여 인의적으로 유발된 관절염을 진단하기 위한 방법으로 $^{99m}Technetium-MDP (^{99m}Tc_MDP$)을 이용한 골 스캔의 임상적 의의를 찾고자 하였다. 성숙 Sprague-Dawley 암컷 랫드를 대조군과 실험군으로 분리하고, 골의 스캔은 0.05mCi의 $^{99m}Tc_MDP$를 정맥 주사하여 3시간 후에 전신 영상을 얻었다. 골의 스캔과 방사선학적 평가를 비교한 겨과 관절염 유발 7일 후부터 관절염의 병변이 관찰되었지만, 방사선학적 소견에서는 14일 후부터 병변이 관찰되었다. 골의 스캔에서 관절염 유발 7일 후에 유의적으로 골의 이상적 섭취 증각가 관찰되었고(p<0.05), 21일 후에는 전지와 후지의 모든 부위에서 골의 이상적 섭취 증가가 관찰되었지만, 방사선학적 소견에서는 후지에서만 병변 부위가 관찰되었다. 이상의 결과에서 $^{99m}Tc_MDP$을 이용한 골의 스캔은 류마티스 관절염을 임상적으로 진단하는데 방사선학적 진단보다 효과적인 방법임을 알 수가 있었고, 골의 스캔은 류마티스 관절염을 초기에 진단하는데 유효한 진단방법임을 확인하였다.

This study aims to improve the safety inspection awareness of occupational exposure and help radiation safety management by analyzing radiation exposure doses by occupational type of radiation related-workers and radiation workers. Radiation-related workers and radiation workers were classified into three occupations (radiological technologist, doctors, and nurses). A nominal risk coefficient based on ICRP 103 was used to calculate the probability of causing side effects of the lungs due to exposure doses. As a result of analyzing the exposure dose of all workers for one year, the exposure dose of radiological technologist among radiation-related workers was 1.63 ± 2.84 mSv, doctors 0.12 ± 0.22 mSv, and nurses 0.59 ± 1.08 mSv. The one-year deep dose for radiation workers was 2.44 ± 3.30 mSv for radiological technologists, 0.19 ± 0.26 mSv for doctors, and 0.12 ± 0.00 mSv for nurses. Due to this dose, the probability of causing side effects in the lungs was 1.2 per 100,000 radiological technologist, 0.096 doctors, and 0.06 nurses. In this study, it is believed that the probability of side effects on lungs by occupation of radiation exposure dose will be studied and used as useful data for radiation safety management in relation to probabilistic effects in the future.

The present study was undertaken to investigate effects of ionizing radiation on DNA synthesis and chromosomal abnormality in cultured submandibular gland(SG) cells. SG cells from C57BL/6N Crj mice were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DME) supplemented with $10\%$ fetal bovine serum, antibiotics and fungizone. The cultured SG cells were irradiated with graded doses of gamma ray ($^{60}Co$) at a dose rate of 58.4rad/min. The effect of irradiation of $^{60}Co$ on DNA synthesis in cultured cells was evaluated by measuring the incorporation of 3H-TdR. Using conventional chromosome techniques and Giemsa staining methods, chromosomal abnormalities in cultured SG cells, induced by irradiation of $^{60}Co$ werw examined. Cytological observations were carried out by a light microscope with high resolving power. The results obtained were as follows : 1. DNA synthesis of SG cells was quantitatively dependent on a radiation dose compare to control. 2. A polyploids and few chromosome-type break, such as single and double breaks, deltions and triradial figures were more predominantly in irradiated SG cells than in control. This increase of chromosomal abnormality was in the proposition to the irradiation doses.

When an integrated circuit device is burned out under high-intense radiation and device-level simulation that usually requires manufacturer's proprietary information is not available, experimental conformation of a failure mechanism is often the only choice. To distinguish Latchup from other causes experimentally, a new combination of multiple techniques have been developed and demonstrated. Power supply circumvention, hot-spot monitoring using an infrared camera, and supply current monitoring techniques were implemented for the conformation of the Latchup.

종양유발성 골연화증은 종양에 의하여 생성된 활동성 펩티드호르몬과 유사한 물질이 골이나 위장관에 작용하여 칼슘대사와 인대사의 변화를 일으키거나, 정상적인 비타민 D대사에 장애를 일으킴으로써 2차적으로 발생되는 대사성 질환으로 알려져 있다. 이의 발생빈도는 매우 낮으며, 임상적으로는 체중과 신장의 감소, 전신적인 골격의 동통 및 근무력증과 병적 골절이 동반되어 나타난다. 방사선사진에서는 골소주의 전반적인 소실, 피질골의 비박, 위골절, 치조백선의 소실 등을 보이고, 실험실 소견에서는 혈청인의 농도와 신세뇨관에서 인의 재흡수율의 감소 및 혈청 알칼리성 인산화효소 농도의 상승이 관찰된다. 본질환은 종양이 제거되면 별도의 부가적인 치료 없이도 임상적, 방사선학적 소견 및 실험실 소견의 뚜렷한 개선을 보이므로 이의 치료에 있어서 정확한 진단이 매우 중요하다. 저자들은 전신적인 동통과 근무력증을 주소로 내원한 환자들에게서 발생된 종양유발성 골연화증 3예를 경험하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 이를 보고하는 바이다.

The silkworm eggs and silkworm larvae were treated with X-Rays, and then the mutations were induced artificially. The results obtained are as follows: 1. The best range of time was from 1 to 1.5 seconds to induce the mutations. 2. The silkworm-eggs treated with X-rays were almost malformes, unmoulting or radiation sick. 3. Silkworm-eggs laid by the moth-fed on penicillin in 1963 were also treated with x-rays. Many useful ones were found from them. 4. There is the possibility of silkworm improvement by inducing mutations with x-rays. Further studies are therefore needed in this field.

The present study was carried out to investigate the combined effect of radiation and photoperiod (PP) regimes on Tradescantia 4430 somatic cell mutations. Potted plants were irradiated with 0.3, 0.5 and 1.0 Gy of gamma radiation from 60Co source. The plants irradiated only with gamma radiation were used as control group (CT). The somatic cell mutation rate in 0.5 Gy irradiated CT and PP20 group started to increase on the 6th day and reached a maximum value on the l0th day and 9th day after irradiation while the rate in the experimental group under 4 hours of photoperiod a day (PP4) started to increase on the l0th day and reached a maximal value on the 16th day post-irradiation. The slope of dose-response curve in CT was 5.99 ($r^2$=0.99), while it was 6.93 ($r^2$=0.98) in PP20 and 11.74 ($r^2$=0.99) in PP4, respectively. The biological efficacy of radiation in the induction of pink mutation increased by 15.7% in PP20 and 95.9 % in PP4, respectively. It is suggested that photoperiod regimes unfavorable to the plant have an additive effect on radiation-induced mutations and a delaying or inhibiting effect on cell damage repair, as well.

원자력발전소 내 원자로의 유지보수 작업을 수행하는 수중로봇은 고준위 방사선에 노출되고, 이로 인해 전자 장치의 오동작 및 고장이 유발될 수 있다. 따라서 허용 방사선량을 초과하지 않도록 피폭되는 누적 방사선량을 실시간으로 모니터링하는 장치가 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 펄스형의 SiC 포토 다이오드와 선량 기억형인 MOSFET를 다중 방사선 센서로 사용하여 넘은 범위의 방사선 준위의 측정이 가능하고 측정 신뢰도가 향상된 고준위 방사선 측정기를 구현하였다. 이 장치는 측정 원리가 상이한 두 센서를 동일한 방사선 측정에 이용함으로써 방사선 측정의 안정성과 정확성이 향상된 것이 특징이다.
