  • Objectives: It is certain that Radioactive iodine thyroid uptake(RAIU) rate should be measured with the standard counts considering the thyroid gland depth in enlarged thyroid patients for the variation from geometric factors. The purpose of this paper is to consider the effects of geometric factors according to detector to source distance and the effective thyroid depth on RAIU rate with experiment test. Materials and Methods: I-131 370 kBq ($10{\mu}Ci$) point source was measured by Captus-3000 thyroid uptake system (Capintec, NJ, USA) with a change Detector-Source Distance from 20 cm to 30 cm at an interval of 1 cm. And we changed the Neck phantom surface-Source Depth in the phantom with 1 cm, 2 cm, 5 cm using the neck phantom in order to reproduce the effective thyroid depth. Results: Every experimental group follows power curve as inverse square curve ($$R2{\geq_-}0.915$$). The average count rates in the case not using a phantom and the every case applied the effective thyroid depth using a phantom was not identical each other. There was significant fluctuations upon the effective thyroid depths applied the effective thyroid depth above 1 cm in $364.4 keV{\pm}10%$ energy ROI (p<0.01). There was not significant difference between the count rates of 1 cm and 2 cm in $364.4keV{\pm}20%$ and $637.1keV{\pm}6.2%$ (p=0.354, p=0.397). In assumed RAIU rate from regression equation, $364.4keV{\pm}20%$ was lower difference than $364.4keV{\pm}10%$ as 6.42% and 5.09% per 1 cm. Every change of count rate upon depth appears decreased line on Linear Regression, but the case of $284.3keV{\pm}10%$ increased only. And also, The graphs of coefficient of variation upon depth increased as straight line on every experimental group. Conclusion: The result appears that application of $364.4keV{\pm}20%$ energy ROI is more suitable for reducing error from the effective thyroid depth. And also, we can estimate the error of 20 cm should be highly reduced than 30 cm for Inverse Square Law. Therefore, If there is not information of the thyroid depth, it is considered that the error from thyroid depth can reduce through set up energy ROIs for $364.4keV{\pm}20%$, and increase Detector-Source Distances.

  • Purpose: The studied the effect of such variables as the symptom improvement rate, survival and prognostic factors on the treatment results of radiation therapy for Superior Vena Cava Syndrome (SVCS). Materials and Methods: From 1988 to 2003, seventy two patients with SVCS were treated with radiation therapy at the Department of Radiation Oncology, Keimyung University Dongsan Medical Center. The patients' ages ranged from 10 to 83 years old with the median age being 61, and sixty four patients were male. For the causes of the SVCS, 64 patients had lung cancer, four had metastatic lung cancer, two had malignant lymphoma and two had thymoma. The radiotherapy was delivered with 6-MV X-rays and all patients received above 900 cGy up to 6,600 cGy, with the median dose being 4,000 cGy The follow-up periods were from 1 to 180 months with a median of 5.6 months. Results: The main clinical manifestations were dyspnea ($84.7\%$), facial edema ($81.9\%$), arm edema ($22.2\%$), neck vein distension ($25\%$), hoarseness ($12.5\%$) and facial plethora ($5.6\%$). Eighty percent of patients achieved excellent to good symptom improvement and $19.4\%$ experienced minimal improvement. The median survival period was 5.1 months, and overall survival rates were $17.7\%$ at 2 years (2YOS) and $14.8\%$ at five years (5YOS) for all the patients. The median survival period, the two and five year disease free survival rates were 4.3 months, $16.7\%$ and $13.4\%$ for the lung cancer patients, respectively. The total tumor dose was a statistically significant survival factor on the univariate analysis for the patients with lung cancer (2YSR; > 30 Gy, $25.6\%$, $\leq$ 30 Gy $6.7\%$, p<0.01). On the multivariated analysis, a higher total tumor dose (p<0.01) and younger age (p<0.05) were statistically significant factors of survival for the lung cancer patients. Patients with NSCLC showed better survival than did the patients with SCLC, but this was not statistically significant (p > 0.05), Conclusion: Radiation therapy for the patients with SVCS due to malignancy could be an effective treatment. We considered that radiation therapy above 30 Gy of the total tumor dose may improve survival for SVCS due to lung cancer.

  • This study was carried out to establish storage methods and to keep high quality of the raw and boiled vegetable peanut. After boiling at 100$^{\circ}C$ for 20min at 7% saline water far 40min the pods were packaged with 80 $\mu\textrm{m}$ Ny/LDPE film in vacuum, 80$\mu\textrm{m}$ LDPE film and Gauge-bag, and stored at room temperature and 4$^{\circ}C$. The moisture content of pods in room temperature were decreased than pods at 4$^{\circ}C$. After 21days storaging with Gauge-bag, texture of pods were toughen because moisture content of pods reduced severely. Colour of raw pods in packaging 80 $\mu\textrm{m}$ Ny/LDPE film vacuum was severely browning but boiled pods was browning little after opening a seal. After 2days storage at room temperature and 21days storage at 4t, pods were deteriorated. The hardness was much lower in boiled kernels than raw kernels and decreased when the storage period elapsed.

  • To shorten the labor cost for the production of the fungus, Paecilomyces tenuipies, uncocooning mutant hybrid silkworms as a host was used. The yield of P. tenuipies was reduced when Nd (uncocooning mutant) was used as a host because Nd was smaller than the hybrid Baegokjam that has been used as a typical host. To increase the host weight, Nd was crossed with Jam l23 or Jam 124, and resulted in not only greater weighter but also higher yield of P. tenuipies. The optimum temperature for rearing Nd hybrid silkworms was $3^{\circ}C$ higher than standard temperature of rearing silkworms to increase the naked pupation rate. The optimum time for the infection of P. tenuipies was 12 h at $28.5^{\circ}C$ and 95% R.H., when $1{\times}10^7spores/ml$ of P. tenuipies were sprayed on the surface of the silkworm. The conditions were applicable to both spring-rearing and autumn-rearing.

  • 마카(Maca, Lepidium meyenii Walp)는 십자화과 두해살이풀로서 페루의 안데스 산맥이 원산지이며 세계 여러 나라에서 건강기능식품, 음료 등의 가공원료로 이용되고 있다. 최근 마카의 기능성 성분이 밝혀지면서 국내에서도 재배 면적이 증가하고 있으나 연작장해, 동계 저온으로 인한 고사 등으로 인하여 생산량은 매우 저조한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 노지 환경에서 비닐피복과 지상부에 비닐 터널을 처리하여 겨울철 고사율을 줄이고 연장장해를 회피하여 마카를 안정적으로 재배하고자 실시하였다. 마카 재배는 경상북도 경산지역에서 2017년 9월 24일 파종하여 2018년 4월 30일에 수확하였으며, 처리는 비닐피복, 비닐피복+터널, 비가림하우스 및 대조구로 노지에서 무피복재배로 실시하였다. 동해에 의한 마카 고사율은 비닐피복과 노지재배에서 55.7, 79.1%였으나 비닐피복+터널과 비가림하우스에서는 3%이하로 조사되어 노지환경에서 비닐피복 후 지상부 터널설치로 동해를 방지할 수 있었다. 수확 시 마카의 생체중은 비가림하우스에서 주당 57.8g으로 가장 높았으며, 비닐피복+터널설치, 비닐피복 및 노지재배에서 각각 52.7, 21.3, 10g으로 조사되어 동계 지상부 15cm 지점의 평균온도(비가림하우스 : $3.4^{\circ}C$, 비닐피복+터널설치 : $1.9^{\circ}C$, 노지 : $-2.1^{\circ}C$)와 정의 상관관계를 나타냈다. 마카의 이용부위인 뿌리의 무게는 비가림하우스와 비닐피복+터널에서 각각 주당 15.5, 19.9g으로 조사되어 비교적 비닐피복+터널처리의 생육이 좋았으나 통계적 유의성은 없었다. 마카는 다닥냉이속 작물로 저온경과 후 뿌리비대가 이루어지는 속성을 가지고 있으나 생육후기 고온으로 인한 지상부 생육은 뿌리비대를 저하시키는 것으로 추정되어 3월 이후 온도관리는 좀 더 연구가 진행되어야 할 것이다. 노지와 비닐피복 재배에서는 뿌리의 무게가 주당 3.9, 2.7g으로 정상적인 수확이 불가능하였다. 마카를 노지에서 재배할 경우 비닐피복 후 지상부에 터널을 설치하면 연작장해 회피와 동해에 의한 고사율을 줄일 수 있어 안정적인 재배가 가능한 것으로 판단되었다.

  • When polluted stream water was treated with biological aerated filter(BAF) in pilot plant, all operation with 90, 60, 45 and 30 min of EBCT at fixed $0.1m^3air/m^2min$ of aeration showed 80% or higher treatment efficiency of particle materials(SS, turbidity and Chl.-a) and 85% or higher efficiency of ammonia nitrogen removal. It was thought that, in case of BOD, biological stability may sufficiently be assured with BAF because grade III or IV inflow water was changed to grade I for outflow water. In case of $COD_{Mn}$, about 60% of removal efficiency was found. When the mechanism of the result was investigated, about 30% of COD materials was produced by algae clogged in the reactor. There was almost no biological decomposition because specific substrate utilization rate of algogenic organic materials were $0.0245mg{\cdot}COD_{Mn}/mg{\cdot}VSS{\cdot}day$, thus partial backwashing(washing the media in 1 m upper of the reactor once a day) was required. It is thought that elevation of removal rate about 10% of $COD_{Mn}$ and 5.5% of $BOD_5$ could be obtained with partial backwashing resulting in assurance of biologically more stable raw water and that saving backwashing water may be significant.

  • This study was conducted to investigate the possibility of changes in onion (cv. 'Turbo' and 'Changnyongdaego') bulb quality during storage at room and cold temperature. Increased weight loss was found in the onion bulb stored at both cold and room temperature conditions. 4% weight loss was found in bulbs stored at room temperature and 2% at cold storage as compared to fresh cultivated onion bulb; after three months. Initially, there was no significant difference in the firmness of bulbs between cultivars and storage conditions. Hunter a value of bulb stored at room temperature was higher than the value of bulb stored at cold temperature. 27% and 7.9% decay was found after three months in 'Changnyongdaego' and 'Turbo' cultivars stored under room temperature condition respectively. In contrast, only 2% decay was noticed in both cultivars stored at cold storage condition. Hunter L value of onion bulb gradually decreased in both room and cold temperature storage conditions. In conclusion, quality of onion bulb can be maintained until three months. For long term storage and quality maintenance, under room temperature conditions a resistance cultivar should be selected.

  • 산채는 사람에 의하여 개량 육성되어 논밭에서 재배하고 있는 농작물과 달리 자연 그대로 산야에서 자생하는 식물 중 식용으로 가능한 것을 말한다. 우리나라 산야에는 480종의 식물이 식용으로 이용될 수 있다고 하나 현재 전국에서 재배하고 있는 작목은 36종으로 추정되며, 앞으로도 80여 종이 개배 가능한 작물로 추정된다. 산채류의 이용형태별 생산가능시기는 3~5월의 생채 생산과 6~7월의 건채 생산으로 소비자의 기호에 부합하는 신선 생채의 소비한계는 제한되어 있기 때문에 재배유형별 생채 수량검정을 통해 수확시기 연장 및 재배품목을 다양화 시킬 필요 있다. 이에 본 시험은 산채류 재배유형별 수확기간을 구명하고자 표고 500 m의 전북 남원시 허브산채시험장에서 2018년 5월 말 갯기름나물 등 15 종을 노지와 하우스에 정식하여 각 작물의 생육특성, 수확한계기 등을 조사하였다. 1년차 지상부 생육특성을 조사한 결과 참취, 개미취, 섬쑥부쟁이, 질경이, 갯기름나물, 두메부추, 돌단풍, 참당귀의 경우 초장, 엽장 등은 노지보다 하우스에서 높은 편이었고 생존율은 비슷하거나 하우스에서 더 높은 경향을 보였다. 우산나물, 단풍취의 생존율은 하우스에서 더 높았으나 생육 초기 엽소현상으로 인해 1년차 생육은 노지, 하우스에서 둘 다 저조하였고 곤달비, 어수리, 곰취, 눈개승마의 경우 노지에서는 7월 중순이후 지상부가 전부 고사하였으나 하우스에서는 생존율이 상대적으로 양호하여 11월 상순까지 후기 생육을 하였다. 2년차 산채류 출현기 조사한 결과 하우스 재배에서 산마늘이 2월 중순으로 가장 빨랐고 갯기름나물, 곤달비 등 10종이 2월 하순에 출현하였으며 참당귀 3월 상순, 단풍취 및 우산나물 3월 중순, 돌단풍이 가장 늦은 3월 하순에 출연하였다. 생체수확 시기는 갯기름나물, 눈개승마, 산마늘, 두메부추, 섬쑥부쟁이는 3월 중순부터 가능했고 곤달비 등 12개종은 3월 하순, 우산나물은 4월 상순, 돌단풍은 4월 중순으로 가장 늦게 생체수확이 가능했다. 노지 재배의 경우 산마늘과 눈개승마가 3월 중순으로 가장 빨랐고 갯기름나물 등 10종이 3월 하순에 출현하였으며 돌단풍, 참당귀, 단풍취가 4월 상순으로 가장 늦은 출연을 보였다. 생체수확 시기는 눈개승마와 산마늘이 4월 상순으로 가장 빨랐으며 갯기름나물 등 10종이 4월 중순부터 가능했고 돌단풍, 참당귀, 단풍취가 4월 하순으로 가장 늦었다. 수확한계기 조사 결과 눈개승마, 산마늘, 우산나물은 하우스 및 노지재배에서 20일정도로 가장 짧았으며 그 외 작물들은 계속적으로 수확이 가능하였으나 6월 상순 이후에는 품질이 나빠져 생체상품으로서 가치가 없었다.

  • Purpose : To evaluate our clinical experience with the combination of teletherapy and intraluminal brachytherapy in patients with unresectable or inoperable esophageal cancers. Materials and Methods : From Nov 1989 to Mar 1993, twenty patients with esophageal cancer were treated with radical radiotherapy and intraluminal brachytherapy at Yonsei Cancer Center. All patients had squamous histolgy and stage distribution was as follows: stage II, 4($20{\%}$)patients; III, 15 ($75{\%}$)patients; IV, 1($5{\%}$)patients. A dose of S-12Gy/1-3weeks with intraluminal brachytherapy (3-5Gy/fraction) to 5mm from the outside of the esophageal tube using high dose rate Iridium-192 remotely afterloading brachytherapy machine was given 2 weeks after a total dose of 59-64Gy with external radiotherapy. Induction chemotherapy using cisplatin and 5-FU was performed in 13 patients with median 3 cycles(1-6 cycles), Response rate, local control rate, survival and complications were analysed retrospectively. Results : Two-year overall survival rate and median survival were $15.8{\%}$ and 13.5 months. Response rates were as follows complete remission(CR) 5($25{\%}$): partial remission a(PRa) 7($35{\%}$): partial remission b(PRb) 7($35{\%}$), no response(NR) 1($5{\%}$). Patterns of failure were as follows; local failure 13($65{\%}$), local and distant failure 3($15{\%}$), distant failure 0($0{\%}$). Ultimate local control rate was $20{\%}$. Treatment related complications included esophageal ulcer in two patients and esophageal stricture in one. Conclusion : Though poor local conrol rate, median survival was improved as compared with previous results of radiation therapy alone(8months) and chemoradiation combined treatment(11 months) in Yonsei Cancer Center High-dose-rate intraluminal brachytherapy following external irradiation is an effective treatment modality with acceptable toxicity in esophageal cancer.

  • This study was conducted to identify the optimum condition for dehydration and storage for maintaining the seed vigor in pelleted carrot seeds. The water content of solid materials of un-pelleted seeds was 4.9% (F.W. basis), and that of pelleted seeds was 24%. When we dehydrated pelleted seeds for 3 hr at $25^{\circ}C$, $35^{\circ}C$, and $45^{\circ}C$, all seeds were dehydrated to 5% - the same level of water content as that before pelleting. Pelleted seeds did not show any significant difference in germination from un-pelleted seeds, and neither was there any significant time or germination difference between pelleted and un-pelleted seeds at the tested dehydration temperatures. However, the $T_{50}$ value of pelleted seeds increased about 3 days larger than that of un-pelleted seeds. Germination speed of pelleted seeds in which the dehydration period was prolonged at $45^{\circ}C$ was delayed compared to those prolonged at $25^{\circ}C$ or $35^{\circ}C$ for the same period. The optimum dehydration condition, which could be applied for large scale in the industry, was dehydration at $35^{\circ}C$ for 3 hr, and the optimum storage temperature which could maintain the seed performance was $5^{\circ}C$.
