  • 저선량 ${\gamma}$선이 시판중인 배추 신규종자인 "만점" 배추와 묵은 종자인 "서림엇갈이" 배추의 발아와 초기생육 및 생리활성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 배추종자의 발아와 초기생육에 있어 신규종자에서는 별효과가 없었으나 묵은 종자에서는 촉진효과가 있었고 그 적정 선량은 1.0Gy와 2.0Gy였다. 배추유식물체의 엽록소 함량은 저선량 조사구가 대조구보다 높았으며 조사선량의 증가에 따라 대체로 증가하였고, 저선량 조사에 의한 배추유식물체의 항산화효소 활성은 증가하였으나 낮은 선량에서 증가하였고 높은 선량에서는 감소하였다.가하였고 높은 선량에서는 감소하였다.

  • Microbial fermented cellulose gel, citrus gel (CG), was successfully fabricated to porous foam by radiation treatment and freeze drying. The chemically induced radiation was used to create highly porous foam and further freeze drying of the CG produced tough foams with interconnected open pores for use in tissue engineering. The microstructure of the CG foam was controlled by varying the irradiation dose and quenching temperature with pore size ranging from several microns to a few hundred microns. Tensile strength and Gurley value of the CG foam were influenced by irradiation dose. These radiation induced CG foams are promising scaffolds for tissue engineering.

  • Increased exposure of human to RF fields has raised concerns for its potential adverse effects on our health. To address the biological effects of RF radiation, we used genome wide gene expression as the indicator. We exposed normal WI-38 human fibroblast cells to 1763 MHz mobile phone RF radiation at a specific absorption rate (SAR) of 60 W/kg with an operating cooling system for 24 h. There were no alterations in cell numbers or morphology after RF exposure. Through microarray analysis, we identified no differentially expressed genes (DEGs) at the 0.05 significance level after controlling for multiple testing errors with the Benjaminiochberg false discovery rate (BH FDR) method. Meanwhile, 82 genes were differentially expressed between RF-exposed cells and controls when the significance level was set at 0.01 without correction for multiple comparisons. We found that 24 genes (0.08% of the total genes examined) were changed by more than 1.5-fold on RF exposure. However, significant enrichment of any gene set or pathway was not observed from the functional annotation analysis. From these results, we did not find any evidence that non-thermal RF radiation at a 60-W/kg SAR significantly affects cell proliferation or gene expression in WI-38 cells.
