고에너지 (6-15MV) 광자선속으로 치료할때 LiF(TLD-100) 결정은 solid water phantom 이나 환자의 피부 표면에서의 흡수선량을 측정하기 위해 열자극 발광 선량계(이하 NC-100)가 주로 사용된다. 통상 NC-100은 가열 과정을 여러회 반복하면 그 감도가 줄어드는 것으로 조사되었다. NC-100 위에 입사 광자선속 방향으로 올려놓은 140$\mu\textrm{m}$ 두께의 금박막(이하 GC-100)은 NC-100 과 다른 성질을 갖는다. 즉, 광자선속에서 GC-100 은 금박막에서 주로 쌍생성이 일어나고 부분적으로 Compton 산란이 일어나 많은 양전자와 음전자를 만들어 낸다. 그 결과 TLD-100 결정은 증가된 신호를 갖고(최대 100% 증가), 흡수 선량당 높은 반응도가 좋은 선형도를 갖으며, 선량물에 무관할 뿐만 아니라 Fluctuation error 도 $\pm$0.5% 미만으로 낮게 측정되었다. GC-100 은 주로 쌍생성이 일어나기 때문에 전자선보다 광자선에서 더욱 감도가 좋은것으로 나타난다. 그것은 금과같이 원자번호가 높은 매질에서 광자선에 의한 쌍생성의 확률이 큰것에 기인한다. 치료용 고에너지 광자선속에서 TLD-100 chip 위에 올려진 금박막은 TLD 의 신호를 크게 증가시키는 역할을 하는것으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 전자상자성공명(electron paramagnetic resonance, EPR) 장치를 사용한 휴대전화 부품들의 EPR 특성 측정을 통해 방사선사고시 회구적 선량평가용 선량계로써 활용가능성에 대하여 확인하였다. 화면표시 방식이 다른 두 스마트폰에서 12개의 시료를 선정하여 실험에 사용하였고, 시료의 방사선조사에는 $^{137}Cs$ 감마선 그리고 EPR 측정은 실온에서 Bruker사의 ELEXSYS E500 X-Band EPR spectrometer를 사용하여 수행하였다. 먼저 각 시료에 대하여 비조사시료와 조사시료의 EPR 스펙트럼을 측정하여 방사선에 의한 라디칼 생성 여부를 확인하였고, 그 후 선량반응곡선과 시간에 따른 시그널 크기 변화를 측정하였다. 측정결과 유심 플라스틱과 IC 칩을 제외한 모든 시료에서 방사선에 의한 EPR 시그널 증가를 확인할 수 있었다. 시료 중에서 덮개유리, 카메라렌즈, 도광판, 확산시트는 결정계수 $R^2=0.93$이상의 좋은 선형상관관계를 보였다. 특히 도광판은 선량에 따른 시그널 증가량이 가장 크고 백그라운드 시그널이 없기 때문에 선량평가에 이상적인 특성을 가지고 있었지만, 72 시간 이내에 시그널이 약 50% 감소하는 약점이 있었다. 확산시트 또한 도광판과 유사한 페이딩 특성을 나타내었고, 덮개유리와 카메라렌즈는 단기간 동안에는 시그널이 안정적으로 보존되었다. 휴대전화 부품을 이용한 EPR 선량평가를 실제 대규모 방사선 사고에서 신속하게 적용하기 위해서는 더 많은 휴대전화 기종의 같은 부품에 대한 시그널 차이, 페이딩, 시료 전처리 방법 등에 대한 추가연구가 진행될 필요가 있다. 그러나 현재 결과를 바탕으로 소규모 방사선사고시 피폭환자가 소지하고 있던 휴대전화와 동일한 제품을 구입하여 비교하는 방법 또는 추가조사법을 이용한 선량평가는 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

To reveal the relationship between the changes in the growth and photo- synthesis induced by low dose radiation, red pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) plants were serially irradiated three times with gamma rays of 0.5, 1, 2, 3, and 4 Gy. The plant growth was monitored by the fresh weight, the stem length, and the leaf length & width. All the irradiation groups (0.5-4 Gy) were stimulated in growth at 1 day after the $1^{st}$ irradiation (DA1I), but rather inhibited at 3 days after the $3^{rd}$ irradiation (DA3I). The maximum photochemical efficiency (Fv/Fm), the photochemical quenching (qP), the non-:photochemical quenching (NPQ) and the apparent rate of the photosynthetic electron transport (ETR) were used to represent the changes in the photosynthesis by the serial irradiation. The irradiation groups except 0.5 Gy had higher Fv/Fm values at 3 DA3I than the control one. After the 3$^{rd}$ irradiation, the qP values appeared to be a little lower in the 1-4 Gy groups than in the control and 0.5 Gy ones. In contrast, the NPQ values were rather higher in the irradiation groups except 0.5 Gy. During the whole experimental period, the ETRs decreased in the control group but remained relatively constant in the 4-Gy one. In conclusion, the results obtained indicate that the stimulatory effect of ionizing radiation on the plant growth was determined by the incident dose of the single irradiation rather than by the cumulative one of the serial irradiation. They also demonstrate that the growth stimulation induced by a low dose radiation could not be positively correlated with an alteration in the photosynthesis. Additionally, we discuss in text that an ionizing radiation may partly protect the leaf senescence by delaying the development of the plants.

In order to improve and supplement the shielding method for electron beam treatment, we designed a patient-specific shielding method using a 3D printer, and evaluated the usefulness by comparing and analyzing the distribution of electron beam doses to adjacent organs. In order to treat 5 cm sized superficial tumors around the lens, a CT Simulator was used to scan the Alderson Rando phantom and the DICOM file was converted into an STL file. The converted STL file was used to design a patient-specific shield and mold that matched the body surface contour of the treatment site. The thickness of the shield was 1 cm and 1.5 cm, and the mold was printed using a 3D printer, and the patient customized shielding block (PCSB) was fabricated with a cerrobend alloy with a thickness of 1 cm and 1.5 cm. The dosimetry was performed by attaching an EBT3 film on the surface of the Alderson Rando phantom eyelid and measuring the dose of 6, 9, and 12 MeV electron beams on the film using four shielding methods. Shielding rates were 83.89%, 87.14%, 87.39% at 6, 9, and 12 MeV without shielding, 1 cm (92.04%, 87.48%, 86.49%), 1.5 cm (91.13%, 91.88% with PSCB), 92.66%) The shielding rate was measured as 1 cm (90.7%, 92.23%, 88.08%) and 1.5 cm (88.31%, 90.66%, 91.81%) when the shielding block and the patient-specific shield were used together. PCSB fabrication improves shielding efficiency over conventional shielding methods. Therefore, PSCB may be useful for clinical application.

Objective: To explore the effect of lysine-coated oxide magnetic nanoparticles (Lys@MNPs) on viability and apoptosis of A549 lung cancer cells. Methods: Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and Zeta potentiometric analyzer were employed to characterize Lys@MNPs. Then Lys@MNPs and lung cancer A549 cells were co-cultured to study the effect of Lys@MNPs on cell viability and apoptosis. The pathway of Lys@MNPs entering A549 cells was detected by TEM and cell imaging by 1.5 T MRI. Results: Lys@MNPs were 10.2 nm in grain diameter, characterized by small size, positive charge, and superparamagnetism. Under low-dose concentration of Lys@MNPs (< $40{\mu}g/mL$), the survival rate of A549 cells was decreased but remained higher than 95% while under high-dose concentration ($100{\mu}g/mL$), the survival ratewas still higher than 80%, which suggested Lys@MNPs had limited influence on the viability of A549 cells, with good biocompatibility and and no induction of apoptosis. Moreover, high affinity for cytomembranes, was demonstrated presenting good imaging effects. Conclusion: Lys@MNPs can be regarded as a good MRI negative contrast agents, with promising prospects in biomedicine.

Grafting과 주형용액 성분의 조절에 의한 붕괴 반웅과 방사선애 의한 graft 중합의 공간적 변화는 발견되지 않았다. 스틸렌-셀루로즈 아세테이트 grafts의 내절연성은 스틸렌 함량이 증가할수록 증가한 반면 친수성 단량체에 관한 grafts는 확실한 효과를 나타내지 않았다. 동시 조사법에 의해 graft된 셀루로즈 아세테이트막과 비교해 보면 전조사법에 의해 graft된 막은 ${\gamma}$선 또는 전자선의 방사선선량과 graft %에 관계없이 거의 변하지 않았다. VP:St: BPO 시스템내 디비닐벤젠 (DB) 또는 트리메틸프로판트리아크레이트(TMPT) 같은 가교제의 혼합으로 점차 graft %는 증가되었다. 셀루로즈 아세테이트막에 대한 St:VP:BPO 용액의 grafting에 관한 활성화 에너지는 55$^{\circ}$-8$0^{\circ}C$에서 약 21.8Kca1/mole이었다. Grafting의 초기속도 (%/hr)는 선량강도의 0.76 승에 비례하였다.

The degradation of methylene blue (MB) in an aqueous solution by nano-metallic particles (NMPs) was studied to evaluate the possibility of applying NMPs to remove MB from the wastewater. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to characterize the synthesized NMPs before and after the reaction. The effects of the NMP dosage, the initial pH, the initial concentration of MB and the amount of $H_2O_2$ on the MB degradation outcomes were studied. The highest removal rate of MB was achieved to be 100% with an initial MB concentration of 5 mg/L, followed by 99.6% with an initial concentration of 10 mg/L under the following treatment conditions: dose of NMP of 0.15 g/L, concentration of $H_2O_2-100mM$ and a temperature of $25^{\circ}C$. The SEM analysis revealed that the nano particles were not spherical in shape. FTIR spectra shows occurrence of metal oxides on the surfaces of the NMPs. The XPS analyses results represent that Fe, Zn, N, Ca, C and O were occurred on the surfaces of the NMPs. The degradation of MB was suitable for the pseudo-first-order kinetics.

In order to investigate the effect of bovine serum albumin (BSA), as a pore former, on the controlled release of an antibiotic from a biodegradable polymeric device, polycaprolactone (PCL)-cefadroxil matrices were prepared by the solvent casting method. The amount of cefadroxil released from various formulations at $37^{\circ}C$ was measured by HPLC. The duration of antimicrobial activity of matrices against S. aureus was evaluated by measuring the diameters of the inhibition zone. The morphology of the matrices was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The release rate and extent of cefadroxil from PCL matrix increased as the loading dose and particle size of BSA/cefadroxil mixture powder increased. Cefadroxil released from the matrix exhibited antibacterial activity for up to 4 days. SEM of the cross-section of matrix showed the typical channel formation after 3 days of release study. Thus, a biodegradable polymeric matrix loaded with antibiotic/BSA mixture can effectively prevent bacterial infection on its surface, thereby bringing about an enhancement of biocompatibility of biomaterials.

SIMOX SOI is known to be one of the most useful technologies for fabrications of new generation ULSI devices. This paper describes the current status of SIMOX SOI technology for ULSI applications. The SIMOX wafer is vertically composed of buried oxide layer and silicon epitaxial layer on top of the silicon substrate. The buried oxide layer is used for the vertical isolation of devices The oxide layer is formed by high energy ion implantation of high dose oxygen into the silicon wafer, followed by high temperature annealing. SIMOX-based CMOS fabrication is transparent to the conventional IC processing steps without well formation. Furthermore, thin film CMOX/SIMOX can overcome the technological limitations which encountered in submicron bulk-based CMOS devices, i.e., soft-error rate, subthreshold slope, threshold voltage roll-off, and hot electron degradation can be improved. SIMOX-based bipolar devices are expected to have high density which comparable to the CMOX circuits. Radiation hardness properties of SIMOX SOI extend its application fields to space and military devices, since military ICs should be operational in radiation-hardened and harsh environments. The cost of SIMOX wafer preparation is high at present, but it is expected to reduce as volume increases. Recent studies about SIMOX SOI technology have demonstrated that the performance of the SIMOX-based submicron devices is superior to the circuits using the bulk silicon.
