Pectin was dissolved in HCl, citric acid, and deionized distilled water (DW, 2%, v/v) and irradiated at different irradiation doses (2.5-50 kGy) by gamma ray to investigate its physicochemical characteristics and biological activity. Viscosity of pectin solution was significantly decreased by irradiation up to 10 kGy, then remained constant thereafter. Gamma-irradiation increased monosaccharide and polysaccharide levels up to 30-40 kDa. Electron donating ability of pectin solution was highest when DW was added and was increased by increasing irradiation dose (p<0.05). ${\beta}-Carotene$ bleaching assay revealed irradiation resulted in development of antioxidantive activity in pectin solution. Growth inhibition of cancer cell lines was observed in irradiated pectin solution in dose-dependent manner, with G36l showing the highest. Results suggested irradiation of pectin solution could be effective for preparation of functional pectin oligomer.

양념갈비의 품질 안정성 및 저장성 확보를 위한 일환으로 시판되는 양념갈비에 감마선 조사(0, 2.5, 5, 7.5 kGy)하여 포장 방법(함기 vs 진공) 및 저장 기간에 따른 양념갈비의 총균수, pH, 수분활성도, 전자공여능 및 지방산패도를 측정하였다. 감마선 조사한 양념갈비의 미생물 생육은 조사선량이 증가할수록 저하되었고 포장방법별로는 함기포장구보다 진공포장구가 미생물 생장억제에 더욱 효과적임을 확인하였다. pH는 함기포장구에서 저장 7일째 다소 감소하는 경향을 보였으나 포장방법과 조사선량에 따른 유의차가 나타나지 않았다. 감마선 조사한 양념갈비의 전자공여능은 저장기간에 따라 감소하는 경향을 보였으나 그 감소폭은 함기포장구가 진공포장구보다 크게 나타났다. TBARS값은 진공포장구의 경우 감마선 조사선량과 저장기간에 따라 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 그러나 함기포장구는 조사선량이 증가할수록 그리고 저장기간에 따라 유의적으로 증가하여 저장 7일째 진공포장구보다 2배의 높은 값을 나타내었다. 따라서 시판되는 양념갈비의 저장 중 유통 안전성을 확보하기 위한 감마선 조사의 사용에서 품질을 유지하기 위해서는 진공포장으로 유통하는 것이 바람직하다고 판단된다.

To investigate alleviation effects of salt stress by low dose gamma-irradiation on seedling growth of rice (Oryza shrive L), in plants of two rice cultivars (Ilpumbyeo and Gancheokbyeo), seeds were irradiated with the different doses $(0{\sim}32\;Gy)$ of gamma-ray by irradiator ($^{60}Co$, ca.150 TBq of capacity, AECL). The salt stress caused a remarkable decrease of seedling growth, particularly for dry weight. In addition, relative growth rate was decreased over 50% by the salt stress. However, the salt stress-induced inhibition of growth was alleviated by gamma-irradiation. Especially, the relative growth rate of shoot showed the reduction effect over 30% at 4 Gy-irradiated groups as compared with that of control. Also, electrolyte leakage and relative water content were damaged, respectively 4 times and 30% by the salt stress but the damages were alleviated by the gamma-irradiation. These alleviation effects were observed similarly in both the cultivars tested. These results suggest that the low dose gamma-irradiation may have a better protection or the salt stress.

산란직전의 남해산 참굴(Crassostrea gigas)을 산채로 구입하여 통상조건하에서 탈각하여 얻은 굴육질을 polyethylene laminated aluminium pouch (Al+PE : 0.03+0.03mm) 속에 밀봉하여 살균선량(0.2Mrad) 및 멸균선량(2.0Mrad)의 감마선으조 조사하고, 한편, 100ppm의 염소수에 굴육질을 2분간 침지한 후 탈수하여 같은 방법으로 포장하여 35일간의 빙장기간중 세균학적 및 화학적 변화를 대조 굴(조사치 않고 염소수 처리하지 않은)의 경우와 비교하였다. 굴육질의 시초의 총균수는 g당 700-800에 달했고, 0.2 Mrad의 감마선 조사는 빙장 10일째의 저장 기간중의 총 균수를 검측할 수 있는 선 이하로 감소시켰으며 2.0 Mrad 조사는 20일째까지 거의 무균상태를 가져왔다. 감마선 조사는 또한 세균활동을 표시하는 대사물질인 TMA와 TCA soluble nitrogen의 축적을 현저히 억제시켰으며 빙장 후기부터 번식하기 시작하여 총균수가 g당 100,000을 초과케 된 35일째까지도 대조굴의 동일한 총균수 시기에 비하여 이 대사물의 축적억제가 현저했음은 감마선 조사의 효과가 총균수의 양적인 감소뿐만 아니라 동시에 TMA를 생산하고 단백질을 분해할 능력이 있는 세균제거 내지는 번식의 억제라는 선택적인 양면을 가지고 있음을 보여 준다. 염소수 처리한 굴육질의 경우 총균수의 양적인 감소효과는 현저하지 않했는데도 불구하고 감마선 조사 경우처럼 세균대사물질 축적의 철저한 억제를 가져 왔음은 주목할만 하다. 굴육질의 glycogen 함량은 사후 저장 기간 중 쉽사리 감소되지 않했으며 PH 측정으로 본 생굴의 신선도와의 관련성은 희박하며 조사와 염소수 처리굴의 경우 더욱 그러했다.

The GafChromic film was used for the dosimetry of a balloon angio catheter filled with the radioisotope HO-166 for endovascular irradiation. The balloon angio catheter was 2 cm long and 3 mm in diameter when inflated. The isotope, Ho-166, was produced by the neutron bombardment using the research reactor in Korea Atomic Energy Research Insititute. Co-60 teletherapy beam was used for making H-D curve for the Gaf-Chromic film. The film dosimetry was measured with a videodensitometer. The radial dose distribution indicated that the absorbed dose dropped to about 20% of the surface dose at the 1 mm away from the balloon surface and at 5 mm position the dose decreased to below 1% of the surface dose. The result also shows that with the specific activity of Ho-l66, 250 mCi/ml it takes 230 seconds to deliver 1200 cGy to the region where is 1mm away from the balloon surface. The concentric isodose curves were also presented. The Ho-166 is an another alternative for endovascualr irradiation to prevent restenosis after PTCA (Percutaneous Trans Coronary Angioplasty)

Tomato (Lycopericum esculentum $M_{ILL}$ cv. Seokwang and cv. Housemomotaro) seeds were irradiated with the doses of $1{\sim}20$ Gy from $^{60}Co$ $\gamma$-ray source to investigate the effect of the low dose $\gamma$-ray radiation on the early growth and resistance to subsequent high dose of radiation. Germination rate of seeds irradiated with low dose $\gamma$-ray was enhanced in Seokwang cultivar but not in Housemomotaro cultivar. Seedling height increased in 4 Gy and 8 Gy irradiation group of both cultivars. Plant height of Seokwang cultivar was depressed in low dose irradiation group but fresh weight was increased in 2 Gy and 4 Gy irradiation group. In Housemomotaro cultivar, plant height increased in 12 Gy and 20 Gy irradiation group and fresh weight increased in 4 Gy and 20 Gy irradiation group. Growth inhibition of tomato plants by high dose radiation was noticeably reduced by pre-irradiation of low dose radiation. Resistance to subsequent high dose of radiation was enhanced in 2 Gy and 8 Gy Irradiation group of Seokwang cultivar and in 2 Gy and 12 Gy irradiation group of Housemomotaro cultivar.

Purpose : Total body irradiation (TBI) or whole body irradiation is used to acquire immune suppression, to treat malignant lymphoma and leukemia, and as an conditioning regimen for bone marrow transplantation. For these purposes, many methods were developed to obtain homogenous dose distribution. The objective of this study was to analyze and confirm the accuracy and the homogeneity of the treatment setup, the parallel opposed lateral technique, currently used in Seoul National University Hospital. Materials and Metheods : Surface dose data, measured with a thermoluminescent dosimeter, of 8 patients among 10 patients, who were given total body irradiation with the parallel opposed lateral technique between September 1996 to August 1998, at Seoul National University Hospital were analyzed. Surface doses were measured at the head, neck, axilla, thigh, and ankle level. Surface and midline doses were measured with similar set-up and technique in the Humanoid phantom. Results : Measured surface doses relative to prescribed dose for the head, neck, axilla, thight, and ankle leve were $91.3{\pm}7.8,{\;}98.3{\pm}7.5,{\;}95.1{\pm}6.3,{\;}98.3{\pm}5.5$, and $95.3{\pm} 6.3\%$, respectively. The midline doses of the head, neck, axilla, thigh, and ankle level estimated from the surface-to-midline ratios in the Humanoid Phantom were $103.4{\pm}9.0,{\;}107.8{\pm}10.5,{\;}91.1{\pm}6.1,{\pm} 93.8{\pm}4.5,{\;}and{\;}104.5{\pm}9.3\%$, respectively. Measured surface doses and estimated midline doses ranged from $-8.9\%$ to $+7.8\%$. Midline doses at the neck and the axilia level deviated more than $5\%$ from the prescribed doses. The difference of the estimated midline doses at the neck and the axilla level and the actual doses were attributed to the thickness differences between the Humanoid phantom and the patients. Conclusion Distribution of the midline doses as well as the suface doses were measured to be within $-8.7\~{\pm}7.8\%$ range. Actual dose distribution in the patient is expected to be better than the measured dose range mainly attributed to thickness difference between the patient and the Humanoid phantom.

A 5-day germination test is applicable to detect biological changes in irradiated wheat and barley at low doses. Seeds were irradiated at below 0.5 kGy, husked and placed on distilled water-moistend filter paper in a covered Petri-dish. Water was supplied everyday. To evaluate the growth rate, the length of shoots and roots was measured during germination. In wheat, the shoots of all samples grew well during 5 days, but the shoot length and the daily growth extent decreased with increasing doses. The roots of non-irradiated wheat showed the highest daily growth extent during 5 days and the root length was over 20 mm at 3rd day. In barley, the growth of shoots and roots was retarded at 0.3 kGy or more after 3 days. It was concluded that if the root length was 20mm or longer within 3 days, wheat and barley were identified as non-irradiated. The germination test was proved a promising screening method for the detection of irradiated wheal and barley.

감마선 조사기술을 이용하여 새우 알러지를 감소시키기 위해 본 연구를 실시하였다. 감마선 조사구(A), 감마선 조사후 가열처리구(B), 가열처리 후 감마선 조사구(C)로 실험구를 설정하고 1,3,5,7,10 kGy의 감마선을 조사하여 실험에 사용하였다. A 처리구로부터 새우의 근혈장 단백질 용액과 근섬유 단백질 용액을 준비하였고, B와 C처리구에서도 각각의 단백질 용액을 준비하였다. 각 단백질 용엑에 대한 환자 IgE와 mAb 4.9.5의 결합력을 ELISA로 조사하였다. 두 항체 모두 감마선 조사구의 단백질을 용액과의 결합력이 감마선 조사선량이 증가할수록 낮게 나타났고, 감마선 조사후 가열처리가 항체의 결합력을 감소시키는데 더 효과적이었다. SDS-PAGE 결과 감마선 조사된 새우 단백질의 전기영동적 분리 pattern에는 변화가 없었다. 이 결과는 적절한 선량의 감마선 조사가 새우 알러지를 감소시킬 수 있다는 것을 시사한다.

감마선 조사된 실크 펩타이드의 전자공여능은 감마선 조사선량이 증가할수록 증가되었으며 IC50은 비조사구에 비해 50${\sim}$70%로 감소되었다. 또한, 실크 펩타이드가 첨가된 햄버거 패티를 감마선 조사하여 측정한 결과 감마선 조사선량이 증가함에 따라 지방 산패도가 증가하였지만 실크 펩타이드 첨가구가 무첨가구에 비해 지방산화가 적은 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과는 실크 펩타이드의 첨가가 가열 및 감마선 조사에 의해 발생될 수 있는 햄버거 패티의 지질 산패를 억제시켜 TBA값이 낮아짐을 보여준다.
