Single phase CuInS$_2$ thin film with the highest diffraction peak (112) at diffraction angle (2$\theta$) of 27.7$^{\circ}$ and the second highest diffraction peak (220) at diffraction angle (2$\theta$) of 46.25$^{\circ}$ was well made with chalcopyrite structure at substrate temperature of 70 $^{\circ}C$, annealing temperature of 25$0^{\circ}C$, annealing time of 60 min. The CuInS$_2$ thin film had the greatest grain size of 1.2 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and Cu/In composition ratio of 1.03. Lattice constant of a and c of that CuInS$_2$ thin film was 5.60 $\AA$ and 11.12 $\AA$ respectively. Single phase CuInS$_2$ thin films were accepted from Cu/In composition ratio of 0.84 to 1.3.

Background: This work presents the performance of a novel electronic brachytherapy (EBT) device and radiotherapy (RT) experiments on both skin cancer cells and animals using the device. Methods and materials: The performance of the EBT device was evaluated by measuring and analyzing the dosimetric characteristics of X-rays generated from the device. The apoptosis of skin cancer cells was analyzed using B16F10 melanoma cancer cells. Animal experiments were performed using C57BL/6 mice. Results: The X-ray characteristics of the EBT device satisfied the accepted tolerance level for RT. The results of the RT experiments on the skin cancer cells show that a significant apoptosis induction occurred after irradiation with 50 kVp X-rays generated from the EBT device. Furthermore, the results of the animal RT experiments demonstrate that the superficial X-rays significantly delay the tumor growth and that the tumor growth delay induced by irradiation with low-energy X-rays was almost the same as that induced by irradiation with a high-energy electron beam. Conclusions: The developed new EBT device has almost the same therapeutic effect on the skin cancer with a conventional linear accelerator. Consequently, the EBT device can be practically used for human skin cancer treatment in the near future.

We determined the radiation shielding properties for 10CaO-xPbO-(90-x) deteriorated silica gel (DSG) glass system (x = 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, and 45 mol.%). The mass attenuation coefficient (MAC) has been estimated at photon energies of 74.23, 97.12, 122, 662, 1173, and 1332 keV using a narrow beam X-ray attenuation and transmission experiment, the XCOM program, and a PHITS simulation. The obtained MAC values were applied to estimate the half value layer (HVL), mean free path (MFP), effective atomic number, and effective electron density. Results show that the MAC value of the studied glasses ranges between 0.0549 and 1.4415 cm²/g, increases with the amount of PbO, and decreases with increasing photon energy. The HVL and MFP values decrease with increasing PbO content and increase with increasing photon energy. The recycled glass, with the addition of PbO content (20-45 mol.%), exhibited excellent radiation shielding capabilities compared to standard barite and ferrite concretes and some glass systems. Moreover, the experimental radiation shielding parameters agree with the XCOM and PHITS values. This study suggests that this new waste-recycled glass is an effective and cost-saving candidate for X-ray and gamma-ray shielding applications.

목 적: 수술 후 유방암 환자의 1차 방사선치료 후 2차 방사선치료 시 단일전자선을 사용하는 것과 서로 다른 에너지의 전자선을 혼합하여 사용하는 방법에 대해 유용성을 평가하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 본 연구에서는 2018년 1월부터 10월까지 본원 유방암 방사선 치료 환자를 대상으로 하였으며, 혼합 전자선을 사용하여 2차 치료를 진행한 환자 59명 중 에너지 6 MeV, 9 MeV를 혼합 사용한 환자 40명(A그룹)과 9 MeV, 12 MeV를 혼합 사용한 환자 19명(B그룹)을 대상으로 진행하였다. 각 그룹의 환자마다 6 MeV, 9 MeV, Combine(6 MeV / 9 MeV)와 9 MeV, 12 MeV, Combine(9 MeV / 12 MeV) 각기 다른 방법으로 세 가지 치료계획을 세우고, 원발병소에 전달되는 최대선량, D95, D5과 폐의 전달되는 최대선량, 평균선량, $V_3$, $V_5$, $V_{10}$을 비교 분석하였다. 결 과: A그룹 치료계획의 D95 평균값은 6 MeV에서 $785.33{\pm}225.37cGy$, 9 MeV에서 $1121.79{\pm}87.02cGy$, SUM(6 MeV / 9 MeV)에서 $1010.98{\pm}111.17cGy$였으며, 6 MeV / 9 MeV에서의 평균값이 처방 선량에 가장 적합했다. 치료하는 유방 방향의 폐의 저선량 영역 $V_3$,$V_5$의 평균값은 6 MeV / 9 MeV에서 $3.24{\pm}3.49%$, $0.72{\pm}1.55%$였고, 9 MeV에서 $7.25{\pm}4.59%$, $3.07{\pm}2.64%$로 가장 높은 값을 보였고, 6 MeV에서 $0.21{\pm}0.45%$, $0.03{\pm}0.07%$로 가장 낮은 값을 보였다. 폐의 최대선량과 평균선량은 6 MeV / 9 MeV에서 $727.78{\pm}137.27cGy$, $49.16{\pm}24.44cGy$였으며, 9 MeV에서 $998.97{\pm}114.35cGy$, $85.33{\pm}41.18cGy$로 가장 높았고, 6 MeV에서 $387.78{\pm}208.88cGy$, $9.27{\pm}6.60cGy$로 가장 낮았다. $V_{10}$의 값은 모두 0에 가까웠다. B그룹도 A그룹의 패턴으로 나타났다. 결 론: 폐의 $V_3$, $V_5$의 저선량 영역에서 상대적인 차이가 나타났으며, 혼합 에너지 적용 시 원발병소의 선량 전달에 있어서 가장 효과적임을 알 수 있었다. 유방암 추가 방사선 치료 시 전자선 에너지를 combine하여 사용하는 방법이 에너지 재원으로부터 제한되는 에너지의 효과를 좀 더 효과적으로 사용할 수 있는 방법이라고 사료되며 비록 작은 선량차이이기 때문에 간과하고 넘어갈 수 있는 부분들도 다시 한번 생각해본다면 조금 더 환자에게 도움이 되는 방사선 치료가 될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

문어 자숙액 에탄올 추출물의 감마선 및 전자선 조사에 의한 항산화능의 증가 원인을 규명하고자 본 실험을 실시하였다. 문어 자숙액 에탄올 추출물에 polyclar$^{TM}$를 처리하여 폴리페놀을 흡착시켜 제거한 자숙액 추출물의 방사선 조사에 따른 DPPH 라디칼 소거능 변화를 측정한 결과, 폴리페놀이 제거되지 않은 자숙액에서와 같은 방사선 조사에 의한 항산화능 증가가 확인되어졌다. 따라서 방사선 조사에 의한 자숙액의 항산화능의 증가는 폴리페놀에 의한 원인이 아닌 것으로 판단되었다. 자숙액에 많은 함량을 차지하고 있는 단백질에 대한 방사선 영향을 확인하기 위하여 $(NH_4){_2}SO_4$ 를 이용한 침전법으로 분리하여 얻어진 문어 자숙액 단백질 수용액에 방사선 조사한 결과 감마선 및 전자선 조사에 의하여 50% 이상 라디칼 소거능이 증가하였다. 이러한 연구결과는 문어 자숙액에 감마선 및 전자선 조사를 적용하였을 때 항산화 활성이 증가하는 이유는 폴리페놀의 함량의 증가에 의한 것보다는 조사에 의해 단백질 구조가 변화되고 이에 따라 항산화 활성이 증가하게 되는 것이라고 사료된다.

The creation of vertically aligned one-dimensional (1D) nanostructures through the decoration of n-type tin oxide (SnO₂) on p-type chromium oxide (Cr₂O₃) constitutes an effective strategy for enhancing gas sensing performance. These heterostructures are deposited in multiple stages using a glancing angle deposition technique with an electron beam evaporator, resulting in a reduction in the surface porosity of the nanorods as SnO₂ is incorporated. In comparison to Cr₂O₃ films, the bare Cr₂O₃ nanorods exhibits a response 3.3 times greater to 50 ppm H₂S at 300℃, while the SnO₂-decorated Cr₂O₃ nanorods demonstrate an eleven-fold increase in response. Furthermore, when subjected to various gases (CH₄, H₂S, CO₂, H₂), a notable selectivity toward H₂S is observed. This study paves the way for the development of p-type semiconductor sensors with heightened selectivity and sensitivity towards H₂S, thus advancing the prospects of gas sensor technology.

The purpose of this study was to examine the mechanism of improving acid resistance of Nd-YAG laser irradiated tooth enamel and determine the most effective energy density for improving acid resistance. The bovine tooth enamel were lased with a pulsed Nd-YAG laser. The energy densities of exposed laser beam were varied from 10 to $70\;J/cm^2$. To investigate the degree of improving acid resistance by irradiation, all the samples were submerged to demineralize in 0.5 N $HClO_4$ solution for 1 minute. After 1 minute, 0.05 % $LaCl_3$ was added to the solution for interrupting the demineralization reaction. The amounts of dissolved calcium and phosphate in the solution were measured by using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer and the UV/VIS spectrophotometer, respectively. To examine the mechanism of improving acid resistance, X-ray diffraction analysis, infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy were taken. The X-ray diffraction pattern of the samples were obtained in the $10^{\circ}{\sim}80^{\circ}2{\theta}$ range with $Cu-K{\alpha}$ radiation using M18HF(Mac Science Co.) with X-ray diffractometer operating at 40 KV and 300 mA. The infra-red spectra of the ground samples in 300 mg KBr pellets 10 mm diameter were obtained in the $4000cm^{-1}\;to\;400cm^{-1}$ range using JASCO 300E spectrophotometer. The scanning electron microscopy was carried out using JSM6400(JEOL Co.) with $500{\sim}2000$ times magnification. The results were as follow 1. The concentration of calcium dissolved from laser irradiated enamel with $50J/cm^2$ was significantly lesser than that of unlased control group (p<0.05) 2. From the result of the X-ray diffraction analysis, $\beta$-TCP, which increases acid solubility, was identified in lased enamel but the diffraction peaks of (002) and (004) became sharp with increasing energy density of laser irradiation. This means that the crystals in lased samples were grown through the c-axis and subsequently, the acid solubility of enamel decreased. 3. The a-axis parameter was slightly increased by laser irradiation, whereas the c-axis parameter was almost constant except for a little decrease at $50J/cm^2$. 4. In the infra-red spectra of lased enamels, phosphate bands ($600{\sim}500cm^{-1}$), B-carbonate bands (870, $1415{\sim}1455cm^{-1}$), and A-carbonate band ($1545cm^{-1}$) were observed. The amounts of phosphate bands and the B-carbonate bands were reduced, on the other hand, the amount of the A-carbonate band was increased by increase the energy density. 5. The SEM experiments reveal that the surface melting and recrystallization were appeared at $30J/cm^2$ and the cracks were observed at $70J/cm^2$. From above results, It may be suggested that the most effective energy density for improving acid resistance of tooth enamel with the irradiation of Nd-YAG laser was $50J/cm^2$. The mechanism of improving acid resistance were reduction of permeability due to surface melting and recrystallization of lased enamel and reduction of acid solubility of enamel due to decrease of carbonate content and growth of crystal.

Objectives: To compare the outcomes of treatment with a focus on the effectiveness of the two primary techniques of radiation used for treating parotid gland malignancies. Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis of 70 patients with parotid gland cancer treated between 1981-1997. Radiation was delivered through an ipsilateral field of high energy electron and photon in 37 patients(52.9%). Two wedge paired photon was used to treat in 33 patients(47.1%). The median dose was 60 Gy, typically delivered at 1.8-2.0Gy per fraction. The median follow-up times for surviving patients was 60 months. Results: The overall and disease free 5 year survival rates were 71.6% and 69.5%, respectively. Wedge paired photon and photon-electron treatment disease tree 5 year survival rates were 61.1% and 80.5%, respectively. Overall local failure rate was 18.6%. Local failure rate of wedge paired photon technique was higher than that of mixed beam technique. Late complication rate was 37.1%, but most of them were mild grade. Conclusion: Techniques of radiation were associated with local control. The technique of using an ipsilateral field encompassing the parotid bed and treated with high energy electrons often mixed photons was effective with minimal severe late toxicity. To irradiate deep sited tumors, we consider 3-D conformal treatment plan for well encompassing the target volume.

TRS-398 프로토콜에서 중심전극에 대한 최근의 연구 결과들을 적용하여 선질인자($k_{Q,Q_0}$)를 평가하였다. 대상 전리함은 PTW-31010과 IBA-CC13이었다. 광자선 및 전자선 선질의 함수로서 선질인자를 계산하였으며 현재 TRS-398 프로토콜의 값들과 비교하였다. PTW-31010 전리함과 같이 알루미늄 전극으로 구성된 전리함에 대하여 새로운 보정을 취하는 경우에 선질인자가 광자선에서 최대 0.4% 그리고 전자선에서 최대 0.9% 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 IBA-CC13과 같이 C-552 전극을 사용하는 전리함의 경우에 기존의 보정체계를 그대로 적용할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
