  • Background: Ionizing radiation is known to be harmful to human health. The shielding of ionizing radiation depends on the attenuation which can be achieved by three main rules, i.e. time, distance and absorbing material. Materials and Methods: The mass attenuation coefficient, linear attenuation coefficient, Half Value Layer (HVL) and Tenth Value Layer (TVL) of X-rays (32 keV, 74 keV) and gamma rays (662 keV) are measured in Barium compounds. Results and Discussion: The measured values agree well with the theory. The effective atomic numbers ($Z_{eff}$) and electron density (Ne) of Barium compounds have been computed in the wide energy region 1 keV to 100 GeV using an accurate database of photon-interaction cross sections and the WinXCom program. Conclusion: The mass attenuation coefficient and linear attenuation coefficient for $BaCO_3$ is higher than the $BaCl_2$, $Ba(No_3)_2$ and BaSO4. HVL, TVL and mean free path are lower for $BaCO_3$ than the $BaCl_2$, $Ba(No_3)_2$ and $BaSO_4$. Among the studied barium compounds, $BaCO_3$ is best material for x-ray and gamma shielding.

  • 본 연구는 병원성 Escherichia coli O157:H7 균주에 의한 식중독을 미연에 예방하고자 우육에 본 균주를 오염, 동결시켜 전자선에 의한 살균효과를 조사하였다. $37^{\circ}C$에서는 배양 16시간째에 최대균수를 나타내었고 $4^{\circ}C$에서는 균주의 증식이 거의 없었다. E. coli O157:H7 균주는 대수기나 정지기 모두가 $0^{\circ}C$ (chilled)와 $-18^{\circ}C$ (frozen)에서 배양시 약 $10^{7}\;CFU/mL$의 균수를 나타내었고 $-18^{\circ}C$에서는 $20^{\circ}C$ 보다 균주의 사멸율이 높았다. 동결육에 오염된 E. coli O157:H7 균주의 방사선 감수성은 $D_{(10)}$ 값이 0.45 kGy, 불활성화계수가 $3{\sim}5\;kGy$에서 $6.67{\sim}11.11$로 각각 나타났다. 본 결과로서 전자선 조사는 동결육에 오염된 E. coli O157:H7 균주의 제거방법으로 매우 효과가 있었다.

  • In this work, Rhizophora spp. particleboard phantoms were made using SPI-based adhesives, modified with sodium hydroxide and itaconic acid polyamidoamine-epichlorohydrin (0, 5, 10, and 15 wt%). An X-ray computed tomography (CT) imaging system was used to ascertain the CT numbers and density distribution profiles of the particleboards. The SPI-based/NaOH/IA-PAE/Rhizophora spp. particleboard phantoms with 15 wt% IA-PAE addition level had the highest solid content, flexural strength, flexural modulus, and internal bonding strength of 36.06 ± 1.08%, 18.61 ± 0.38 Nmm-2, 7605.76 ± 0.89 Nmm-2, and 0.463 ± 0.053 Nmm-2, respectively. The moisture content, mass density, water absorption, and dimensional stability were 6.93 ± 0.27%, 0.962 ± 0.037 gcm-3, 22.36 ± 2.47%, and 10.90 ± 0.86%, respectively. The results revealed that the mass attenuation coefficients and effective atomic number values within the 16.59-25.26 keV photon energy region, were close to the calculated XCOM values in water, with a p-value of 0.077. Moreover, the CT images showed that the dissimilarities in the discrepancy of the profile density decreased as the IA-PAE concentrations increased. Therefore, these results support the appropriateness of the SPI-based/NaOH/IA-PAE/Rhizophora spp. particleboard with 15 wt% IA-PAE adhesive as a suitable tissue-equivalent phantom material for medical health applications.

  • 본 실험에서는 생쥐에서 분리한 골수 세포의 분화에 보중익기탕 추출물이 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. GM-CSF와 IL-3는 대식세포의 형성을 자극하는데 관여한다. 보중익기탕 추출물을 첨가하였을 때 GM-CSF와 IL-3로 분화하는 colony의 수를 증가시키는 것을 알 수 있었으며 anti-CD11b 항체로 염색한 결과 분화한 세포는 대식 세포의 특이적 세포표면 단백질 인 CD11b(Mac-1)를 발현하고 있었다. 또한 보중익기탕 추출물은 대식세포가 생산하는 IL-6와 일산화질소(nitric oxide)의 분비량도 증가시키는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이상의 실험 결과, 오래 전부터 전통 처방제로 사용되어온 보중익기탕 추출물은 대식세포의 분화와 증식을 유도하는데 효과가 있는 것으로 생각된다.
