Whole-body counters are widely used to assess internal contamination after a nuclear accident. However, it is difficult to determine radioiodine activity due to limitations in conventional calibration phantoms. Inhaled or ingested radioiodine is heterogeneously distributed in the human body, necessitating time-dependent biodistribution for the assessment of the internal contamination caused by the radioiodine intake. This study aims at calculating counting efficiencies considering the biodistribution of ¹³¹I in whole-body counting measurement. Monte Carlo simulations with computational human phantoms were performed to calculate the whole-body counting efficiency for a realistic radioiodine distribution after its intake. The biodistributions of ¹³¹I for different age groups were computed based on biokinetic models and applied to age- and gender-specific computational phantoms to estimate counting efficiency. After calculating the whole-body counting efficiencies, the efficiency correction factors were derived as the ratio of the counting efficiencies obtained by considering a heterogeneous biodistribution of ¹³¹I over time to those obtained using the BOMAB phantom assuming a homogeneous distribution. Based on the correction factors, the internal contamination caused by ¹³¹I can be assessed using whole-body counters. These correction factors can minimize the influence of the biodistribution of ¹³¹I in whole-body counting measurement and improve the accuracy of internal dose assessment.

In this experiment, how DEXA(Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry) bone mineral density was measured using the equipment. In order to maintain the same measurement conditions, bone mineral density measurements of 10 cm thick phantom, with an actual patient at a point when examining the same conditions(100 kVp, 1 mA) and then out to the five doses of radiation and its average was calculated by dividing measured. X-ray dose rate measured at the Research Institute, Sword of the gamma survey meters calibrated MEDCOM Ltd. (Inspector GM counter tube) was used, calibration factor is 1.15. On a horizontal plane around the patient, depending on the distance was significantly reduced dose rate. In addition, orientation $0^{\circ}$ head end was higher in the direction of the highest dose rate, $0^{\circ}$ $180^{\circ}$ direction from the direction towards the higher dose rate reduced to some extent in the direction of all the $120^{\circ}$ were able to identify.

현재 서울대학교병원에서 진행중인 연구의 일환으로 혈관 내 방사선치료 시 시술자의 방사선피폭 정도 및 위험성에 대해 알아보고자 연구를 시행하였다. 심장혈관 폐색으로 연구에 포함되어 방사선치료른 시행 받은 42명의 환자 중 측정이 완벽한 34명의 자료를 토대로 분석을 시행하였다. 혈관내 방사선치료는 관상동맥성형술 직후 풍선도자법을 이용하여 대상 동맥의 중막에 17 Gy를 조사하였다. 사용된 동위원소는 $^{188}Re$이었으며 GM측정기로 각기 다른 8점에서 피폭선량을 측정하였다. 환자의 심장부위에서 10cm, 40cm 떨어진 지점을 시술자의 최대피폭량, 전신피폭량의 기준으로 삼았다. 치료선량의 중앙값은 111.6 mCi이었고 중앙치료시간은 576초였다. 환자 심장부위에서 l0cm, 40cm 지점의 평균 피폭 선량율은 0.43 mSv/hr, 0.30 mSv/hr 이었고, 각 지점에서의 시술 당 평균 피폭 선량은 0.07 mSv, 0.05 mSv 이었다. 이 수치는 ICRP-60나 과학기술부 고시에서 권고하고 있는 한계 피폭선량보다 훨씬 적은 값으로 현재 저울대학교병원에서 시행하고 있는 혈관내 방사선 치료법은 방사선방어 면에서 매우 안전한 방법임을 확인할 수 있었다.

Numerical Study with detailed chemistry has been conducted to investigate the flame structure and NOx formation characteristics in oxygen -enhanced(CH$_4$/O$_2$-$N_2$) and oxygen-enhanced-EGR(CH$_4$/O$_2$-$CO_2$) counter diffusion flame with various strain rates. A small amount of $N_2$is included in oxygen-enhanced-EGR combustion, in order to consider the inevitable $N_2$contamination by $O_2$production process or air infiltration. The results are as follows : In CH$_4$/O$_2$-$CO_2$flame it is very important to adopt a radiation effect precisely because the effect of radiation changes flame structure significantly. In CH$_4$/O$_2$-$N_2$flame special strategy to minimize NO emission is needed because it is very sensitive to a small amount of $N_2$. Special attention is needed on CO emission by flame quenching, because of increased CO concentration. Spatial NO production rate of oxygen-enhanced combustion is different from that of air and oxygen-enhanced-EGR combustion in that thermal mechanism plays a role of destruction as well as production. In case CH$_4$/O$_2$-$CO_2$flame contains more than 40% $CO_2$it is possible to maintain the same EINO as that of CH$_4$/Air flame with accomplishing higher temperature than that of CH$_4$/Air flame. EINO decreases with increasing strain rate, and those effects are augmented in CH$_4$/O$_2$flame.

$PKC{\delta}$-catalytic V5 Heptapeptide (FEQFLDI, FP7) interacts with heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) and inhibits HSP27-mediated resistance to cell death against various stimuli including radiation therapy. Here, we prepared radio-iodinated heptapeptide and further investigated its uptake properties in HSP27 expression cells. Peptide sequence of FP7 and a negative control peptide (WSLLEKR, QP7) was modified by substituting their C-terminus residue to tyrosine (FP6Y and QP6Y) to label radio-iodine. Iodinated peptides were confirmed by LC mass analysis with cold iodine reaction mixture. Accumulation of [$^{125}I$]iodo-FP6Y and [$^{125}I$]iodo-QP6Y in NCI-H1299 cell line, with higher level of HSP27, and NCI-H460 cell line, with lower level of HSP27, was measured by NaI(Tl) scintillation counter. The modification of substituting C-terminus residue of FP7 to tyrosine (FP6Y) did not affect its interaction with HSP27. Accumulation of [$^{125}I$]iodo-FP6Y in NCI-H1299 cells was 3 fold higher than in NCI-H460 cells. The novel radio-iodinated FP6Y would be used as a tracer for targeting HSP27 protein.

Background: Whole-body counters are widely used to evaluate internal contamination of the internal presence of gamma-emitting radionuclides. In internal dosimetry, it is a basic requirement that quality control procedures be applied to verify the reliability of the measured results. The implementation of intercomparison programs plays an important role in quality control, and the accuracy of the calibration and the reliability of the results should be verified through intercomparison. In this study, we evaluated the reliability of 2 whole-body counting systems using 2 calibration methods. Materials and Methods: In this study, 2 whole-body counters were calibrated using a reference male bottle manikin absorption (BOMAB) phantom and a Radiation Management Corporation (RMC-II) phantom. The reliability of the whole-body counting systems was evaluated by performing an intercomparison with International Atomic Energy Agencyto assess counting efficiency according to the type of the phantom. Results and Discussion: In the analysis of counting efficiency using the BOMAB phantom, the performance criteria of the counters were satisfied. The relative bias of activity for all radionuclides was -0.16 to 0.01 in the Fastscan and -0.01 to 0.03 in the Accuscan. However, when counting efficiency was analyzed using the RMC- II phantom, the relative bias of $^{241}Am$ activity was -0.49 in the Fastscan and 0.55 in the Accuscan, indicating that its performance criteria was not satisfactory. Conclusion: The intercomparison process demonstrated the reliability of whole-body counting systems calibrated with a BOMAB phantom. However, when the RMC-II phantom was used, the accuracy of measurements decreased for low-energy nuclides. Therefore, it appears that the RMC-II phantom should only be used for efficiency calibration for high-energy nuclides. Moreover, a novel phantom capable of matching the efficiency of the BOMAB phantom in low-energy nuclides should be developed.
