PET병에 넣어 시판되고 있는 일부 물중에서 일반세균과 대장균이 문제되고 있어 이러한 균을 멸균하기 위한 실험을 Cobalt-60과 X-ray를 이용하여 효과를 비교했다. 그 결과 Cobalt-60에 의해서 1.1KGY의 선량으로 물속의 모든 균은 멸균되었으나 X-ray에 의한 실험(56KVP 1mA 9초까지의 조사)에는 효과가 없었다. 앞으로 장기간 보관식품은 Cobalt-60에 의한 조사가 효과적이라고 생각되며 아울러 조사된 물은 인체에 하등의 영향을 주지 않는다.

A radiation incident took place during treatment on MEDNIF Tele cobalt-60 therapy machine in B.P.KOIRALA MEMORIAL CANCER HOSPITAL in Bharatpur, Nepal. This Chinese made machine has activity of 6240 Curies of cobalt -60. This machine has fulfilled safety requirements. ICRP recommendations, safety rules are followed and practiced. The source was struck up during treatment and a technician was exposed to equivalent dose of 13.75 mSv. recorded by Personal film badge. Risks of workers are comparable to other safe industries. All exposures shall be kept as low as reasonably possible. The higher level of safety is achieved only when every one is dedicated to common goal. A lesson is learnt for future. Good practice is essential but not sufficient. A high demand for tele Cobalt therapy convinced management to replace Mednif machine with a new efficient Elite Tele Cobalt theratron Machine.

산화 무기화합물 및 탄소흡착제와 음이온교환수지를 이용하여 폐수 중의 중금속이온을 분리, 제거하는 특성에 대해 연구하였다. 이를 위하여 DT사에서 제조된 산화 무기화합물인 DT-30, 음이온 교환수지인 DT-60, 탄소화합물로써 DT-80, DT-90을 이용하여 코발트(Cobalt)이온, 세슘(Cesium)이온 및 요오드(Iodide)이온의 평형 분리특성 및 이온교환 탑에서 연속 실험 시 분리특성에 대하여 연구하였다. 그 결과 DT-30은 세슘, DT-80, DT-90은 코발트, DT-60은 요오드에 대해서 우수한 분리특성을 나타내었다. 평형 실험에서 DT-30은 세슘에 대해 온도 증가에 따라 흡착량의 미세한 증가를 보였고, pH변화에 따라 흡착량이 크게 변화되었다. DT-80도 코발트에 대해 pH에 따라 평형 흡착량이 변화하였으나 온도의 변화에는 거의 영향을 받지 않았다. DT-60의 요오드 이온에 대한 평형 흡착량은 pH 또는 온도 변화에 영향을 거의 받지 않았다. 이온교환 탑을 이용하여 연속적으로 중금속 함유 용액을 통과시키면서 실험한 결과에서도 DT-30의 세슘, DT-90의 코발트, DT-60의 요오드에 대한 분리 특성이 좋은 것이 관찰되었다. 이 경우 DT-30의 세슘에 대한 분리특성 및 DT-60의 요오드에 대한 분리특성이 DT-90의 코발트에 대한 분리특성보다 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 이온분리특성에 미치는 불순물의 영향에 대한 조사에서 DT-90은 계면활성제나 오일 등의 불순물에 의해 큰 영향을 받지 않았으나 DT-30은 계면활성제, 오일 등의 존재에 의해 이온분리성능이 크게 저하되었고 DT-60도 계면활성제의 영향을 크게 받는 것으로 관찰되어서 불순물을 전처리 공정에서 제거하는 것이 매우 중요한 것으로 나타났다.

The present study was carried out to investigate whether the aloe had a radioprotective effect in mice exposed to cobalt-60 gamma radiation or not. The survival ratio of mice for 30 days, hematopoiesis of blood-forming stem cells by spleen colony assay, chromosomal aberration frequency of bone marrow cells and histopathological findings of bone marrow were investigated. The survival ratios of aloe administered groups with concentration of 250, 500, 1,000 and 1,500mg for 3 days before irradiation and control group in cobalt-60 gamma irradiated mice(700rads whole body irradiation, dose rate of 50rads/min.) were 77.4, 79.3, 80.6, 90.0 and 53.1％, respectively. The survival ratios of pre-irradiation aloe administered groups were superior to those of post-irradiation aloe groups and control group. In spleen colony assay, Aloe vera administration before irradiation enhanced the recoveries of numbers of blood-forming stem cells of bone marrow of irradiated mice. There were decreased chromosomal aberrations of bone marrow cells at the first day after irradiation in aloe administered groups compared to that of control group. Histopathological findings in the bone marrow of irradiated mice were hypocellularity due to the depletion of myelocytes, abundant of fat vacuoles and these changes were weakened in aloe administered groups compared to that of control group.

The author observed the effects of the cobalt-60 irradiation on the amelogenesis and dentinogenesis of the albino rat fetuses by means of histological and histochemical methods. Females in oestrus were mated overnight and examined the next morning for evidence of copulation. The lower left abdomen of mothers were exposed to cobalt-60 irradiation on the 10th day of gestation, l00R 200R and 300R respectively. The fetuses were removed from the mothers on the 18th day of gestation. The employed histochemical methods were PAS reaction, colloidal iron reaction, aldehyde fuchsin stain, α-amino acid reaction, -SH radical reaction and methyl- green pyronin stain. The results were as follows; 1. The group irradiated by l00R made no histological differences in comparison with the control group. 2. Increasing the irradiation to 200R, abnormal dentin formation occured, and resulted in enamel hypoplasia and in atrophy and necrosis of odontoblasts. In dentinal papilla, the dilation and the degeneration of the blood vessels, excessive reticular atrophy and osteodentin were revealed. 3. With the more irradiation (200R-300R), the positive material of PAS, α-amino acid and aldehyde fuchsin tended to decrease in the ameloblast and the odontoblast. No significant changes appeared in DNA, the stainability of methylgreen pyronin.

Electron contamination due to the interaction between radiation beam and material was analyzed for the factors such as source-skin distance (SSD), field size, tray characteristics and position of filter, which can affect the surface dose in Cobalt teletherapy. Surface dose in open beam was more influenced by SSD with increasing field size. Relative surface charge (RSC) increased with the use of tray (solid, circular hole, slotted), compared with open beam, which is thought to be due to increased electron contamination of the tray. To reduce the surface dose, 0.4mm thick Lipowitz metal filter was used. Compared with open beam, RSC decreased by 8.8%, 11.3%, 13.3%, 16.6%, 19.3% and 21.7% for the field size of $5{\times}5$, $10{\times}10$, $15{\times}15$, $20{\times}20$, $25{\times}25$ and $30{\times}30cm^2$, respectively. On the contrary, use of Lipowitz metal filter increased RSC at 60cm or less SSD. Surface dose was effectively reduced with Lpowitz metal filter placed right below solid tray in Cobalt teletherapy.

Objectives: To evaluate residual disease in uterine cervical cancer patients treated with teletherapy using combined high dose rate Cobalt-60 brachytherapy. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study of uterine cervical cancer patients, FIGO stages IB-IVB (International Federation of Gynecologists and Obstetricians recommendations), treated by radiotherapy alone between April 1986 and December 1988 was conducted and the outcomes analysed. The patients were treated using teletherapy 50 Gy/25 fractions, five fractions per week to the whole pelvis together with HDR Cobalt -60 afterloading brachytherapy of 850 cGy/fraction, weekly to point A for 2 fractions. Results: The study covered 141 patients with uterine cervical cancer. The mean age was 50.0 years with a range of 30-78 years. The mean tumor size was 4.1 cm in diameter (range 1-8 cm). Mean follow - up time was 2.94 years (range 1 month-6.92 years). The overall incidence of residual locoregional disease was 3.5%. Residual disease, according to stage IIB, IIIB and IVA was present in 2.78%, 3.37% and 50.0%. It was noted that there was no evidence of residual disease in stage IB and IIA cases. Conclusion: Combined teletherapy along with high dose rate Cobalt -60 brachytherapy of 850 cGy/fraction, weekly to point A for 2 fractions resulted in overall 3.5% residual disease and a 96.5% complete response. The proposed recommendation for improving outcome is initiation of measurements for early detection of disease.

Two field trials were carried out to evaluate the performance of a soluble glass copper, cobalt and selenium bolus for maintaining adequate levels of the three trace elements in yaks. Forty yaks were used in trial 1 and 60 yaks were used in trial 2. In each trial two commercial soluble glass boluses were administered to half of the yaks. Blood samples were taken from the jugular vein at day 0, 30, 60, 90 in trial 1 and at day 0, 45, 75 and 105 in trial 2. The samples were analysed for copper status (serum caeruloplasmin activity and copper concentration), cobalt status (serum vitamin $B_{12}$ concentration and cobalt concentration), selenium status (erythrocyte glutathione peroxidase activity and selenium concentration) and serum zinc concentration. The erythrocyte glutathione peroxidase activities, serum caeruloplasmin activities and serum vitamin $B_{12}$ concentrations for trial 1 and 2 were all significantly increased for the bolused yaks (p<0.001 or p<0.01) on all sampling days. The bolused yaks had a significantly higher selenium and copper status in serum than the control yaks on all sampling days in trial 1 and 2 (p<0.05 or p<0.01). There were no significant differences in zinc and cobalt concentrations between the bolused yaks and the controls.
