심부 및 천부 지질 환경을 갖는 지하 모암 내의 방사성 폐기물 처분장으로부터 유출된 핵종은 다양한 인공 및 지하 매질을 거쳐 궁극적으로 인간 생태환경으로 도달하게 된다. 그 결과로 인간에게 주는 피폭선량률을 정량적으로 계산하는 것은 처분안전성 평가의 최종 단계가 된다. 방사성폐기물에 포함된 핵종에 대해 붕괴사슬을 고려하고 방사성폐기물처분 시스템의 주요한 부분을 이루는 생태계를 구획으로 모델링 한 후 이들 구획간의 핵종이동에 대한 전이계수를 적용하여 동적 구획모델을 기반으로 하는 AMBER를 이용한 케이스화일로서 ACBIO템플릿을 개발하고 이를 이용하여 각 핵종별 선량환산인자를 평가해 보았다.

Green, black and oolong teas were irradiated by $^{60}$ Co-gamma rays (0～10 kGy) and were investigated for detection of irradiation treatment using pulsed photostimulated luminescence (PPSL) and thermoluminescence (TL) during storage. Teas irradiated at 2.5 kGy or more showed a photon count of greater than 5000 counts/60 sec while the non-irradiated yielded only 650～1000 count/60 sec. Correlation coefficients between irradiation dose and photon counts/60 sec were 0.8951, 0.7934 and 0.9007 for green, black and oolong teas, respectively. The TL glow curves for minerals isolated from the non-irradiated teas were situated at about 30$0^{\circ}C$ with a low intensity, but for irradiated samples were approximately 15$0^{\circ}C$ with a high intensity. The TL ratios (TL$_1$/TL$_2$), calculated from values after initial radiation and then after re-irradiation of the teas, were below 0.1 for the non-irradiated samples and higher than 1.44 for all irradiated samples, enhanced the reliability of the identification results for TL. The signal intensity of PPSL and TL for irradiated teas decreased with the lapse of post-irradiation storage time at room temperature but was still distinguishable from that of the non-irradiated samples even after one year.

ESR spectroscopy를 이용하여 한약재의 방사선 조사여부를 확인하였다. 국내산 한약재 4종으로 칡, 당귀, 아가리쿠스, 황기를 0, 1, 5 및 10 kGy의 Co-60 감마선을 조사한 후, 이를 시료로 Bruker-EPR spectrometer를 이용하여 조사로 생성된 라디칼을 측정하였다. 실험결과 조사직후 감마선 조사된 한약재 4종은 ESR 특성 신호를 나타내어 비조사시료와 확실하게 구별할 수 있었다. 적용선량의 범위에서(1~10 kGy) 조사선량이 증가함에 따라 ESR 신호 크기는 직선적으로 증가하였으며, 선량의 증가에 따른 신호 크기의 증가를 나타낸 $R^2$값은 0.9428~0.9942의 높은 값을 나타내었다. 또, 이들 신호는 상온에서 2주까지는 감소하였으나 저장기간 후에도 관찰할 수 있었으므로 ESR spectroscopy를 이용한 한약재의 방사선 조사여부 판별은 6주간의 저장 후에도 측정 가능한 방법임을 알 수 있었다.

Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary detoxified Rhus verniciflua sap (RVS) on production performance, egg quality, lipid fractions of egg yolk, liver and serum, and the profile of cecal microflora in laying hens. Methods: Two hundred 52-week-old Hy-Line Brown layers were randomly divided into 4 groups with 5 replicates per group (2 hens per cage, 5 cages per replicate) and were provided with one of 4 experimental diets containing 0%, 0.05%, 0.1%, or 0.2% RVS, for 6 weeks. Due to unequal intervals of RVS doses, the interactive matrix language procedure of the SAS program was used to correct the contrast coefficients of orthogonal polynomials. Results: There were no differences in feed intake and egg weight among the groups. Egg production increased (linearly and quadratically, p<0.05) with increasing levels of RVS. Eggshell thickness increased (linear, p<0.05) as the level of RVS in diets increased. The levels of blood cholesterol and activities of glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase and glutamic-pyruvic transaminase were not altered by dietary treatments. Increasing level of RVS increased (linear, p<0.05) the populations of cecal lactic acid bacteria. The content of yolk cholesterol decreased (linear, p<0.05) with increasing levels of dietary RVS, although there were no significant differences in each lipid fraction of the liver. Conclusion: This study indicates that dietary RVS could improve laying performance and eggshell quality, and affect cecal lactic acid bacteria in a dose-dependent manner.

These studies were carried out to investigate the effects of the antiestrogens, LY-117018 and tamoxifen, on implantation in ovariectomized or intact adult rats. A Quantity of $80\;{\mu}g$ of LY-l17018 or tamoxifen was given to adult female rats on Day 1, 2, 3 and 4 of pregnancy and investigated the implantation sites on Bay 8 of pregnancy. The rats were ovariectomized at the first day of pregnancy and treated with various doses of LY-l17018 or tamoxifen together with progesterone daily from Day 2 to 8 of pregnancy and then investigated the implantation sites on Day 8 of pregnancy The results were summarized as follows; When a single dose of $80\;{\mu}g$ LY-l17018 and tamoxifen was given during the first 4 days of pregnancy, the implantation was intesively inhibited in the pregnant rat treated with LY-l17018 on Day 2 $(14.4{\pm}3.5%),\;3(16.3{\pm}5.3%)\;and\;tamoxifen\;on\;Days\;2\;(17.4{\pm}4.6%),\;3\;(16.3{\pm}2.8%)\;and\;4\;(13.9{\pm}3.5%).$ LY-l17018 was apt to inhibit more potently the implantation than tamoxifen except on Day 4 of pregnancy In rats ovariectomized on Day 1 of pregnancy and treated continucusly with 12? r9 of LY-117018 and tamoxifen together with progesterone showed the highest implantation rate, compared with the rats treated continuously with different doses of the two drugs. The correlation coefficients between the dosage of drugs and implantation rate were r= 0.91 (LY-117018), 0.51 (tamoxifen), respectively, except treatment with $625\;{\mu}g$ of the drugs. Tamoxifen was apt to stimulate the implantation more potently than LY-l17018 except groups treated with $625\;{\mu}g$ of the two drugs.

The measured attenuation correction with transmission (Tx) scans produced quantitatively accurate images. However, it was not clear for optimal emission (Ex) and Tx scan time in PET imaging. This study was to evaluate acceptable Ex and Tx scan time by simulating clinical situations using various phantoms. Cylindrical and NEMA phantom were used for $^{18}$ F-PET scan using 2D protocol in GE Advance PETTM scanner. Cylindrical phantom was filled with 136 MBq 18F, and five regions of interests (ROI) were drawn on 23 slices. NEMA phantom had three inserts containing water, air and polytetrafluoro-ethylene (PTFE). Outside of these inserts were filled with 309 MBq of $^{18}$ F, and total 12 ROIs were drawn on 23 slices. Scans were carried out according to five Ex scan times: 2, 5, 10, 15, and 30 min, and nine Tx scan times: 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20, and 30 min. Images were reconstructed using measured attenuation correction, and ROI analyses were performed for all images, and mean, standard deviation (SD), coefficient of variation and percent errors were calculated. For cylindrical phantom study, ROI mean and SD were decreased as Ex and Tx time increased. Coefficients of variation were kept constant, when Tx was greater than 10 min. The amount of error decreased for the increment of Ex time from 10 min to 15 min was almost the same to that from 15 min to 30 min. In NEMA phantom Tx 15 min showed the lowest er개r level when the percent errors for three inserts were summed for all of the Ex times. This study suggested that Ex 15 min and Tx 15 min were acceptable as optimal scan time for the scanning protocol and the dose of radiopharmaceuticals used in these phantom study.

The objective of this study was to assess the reliability and validity of food security measures, which was developed based on the US household food security survey module (US HFSSM) with content validity in the Korean population. The reliability and validity were assessed by internal consistency, construct validity and criterion-related validity. The study included 446 households. Among those, 46.2% were households with children. The proportion of food insecure households was 33.3%. Among those, 35.4% and 64.6% households were food insecure with hunger and without hunger, respectively. The Cronbach's alpha coefficients were 0.84 and the infit value by the Rasch model analysis ranged from 0.68 to 1.43. The scale item response curves by food insecurity severity explained well the nature and characteristics of food security, indicating the highest proportion of "yes" for the items on diet quality, followed by those with diet quantity. The result of criterion-related validity showed that food insecurity status was significantly related in a dose-response manner with the household income level, food expenditure, subjective health state, subjects' educational level. Household food security status was also related to dietary diversity regarding protein foods, fruits and fruit juice, and milk and dairy product. These findings suggest that the food security instrument is reliable and valid and would be used to assess food security status in the Korean population.
