Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) appears an effective and safe treatment modality for spinal bone metastasis, which can enhance local control and improve quality of life. Life expectation, predicted fracture risk, localization, quality, size and number of metastasis and presence or absence of nerve compression seem to be important factors in decision-making for treatment. Further studies are needed to identify subsets of patient which will most benefit from treatment.

Purpose: The quality assurance (QA) chart rounds are multidisciplinary meetings to review radiation therapy (RT) treatment plans. This study focus on describing the changes in RT management based on QA round reviews in a single institution. Materials and Methods: After 9 full years of implementation, a retrospective review of all patients whose charts passed through departmental QA chart rounds from 2007 to 2015. The reviewed cases were presented for RT plan review; subcategorized based on decision in QA rounds into: approved, minor modifications or major modifications. Major modification defined as any substantial change which required patient re-simulation or re-planning prior to commencement of RT. Minor modification included treatment plan changes which didn't necessarily require RT re-planning. Results: Overall 7,149 RT treatment plans for different anatomical sites were reviewed at QA rounds. From these treatment plans, 6,654 (93%) were approved, 144 (2%) required minor modifications, while 351 (5%) required major modifications. Major modification included changes in: selected RT dose (96/351, 27%), target volume definition (127/351, 36%), organs-at-risk contouring (10/351, 3%), dose volume objectives/constraints criteria (90/351, 26%), and intent of treatment (28/351, 8%). The RT plans which required major modification according to the tumor subtype were as follows: head and neck (104/904, 12%), thoracic (12/199, 6%), gastrointestinal (33/687,5%), skin (5/106, 5%), genitourinary (16/359, 4%), breast (104/2387, 4%), central nervous system (36/846, 4%), sarcoma (11/277, 4%), pediatric (7/251, 3%), lymphoma (10/423, 2%), gynecological tumors (2/359, 1%), and others (11/351, 3%). Conclusion: Multi-disciplinary standardized QA chart rounds provide a comprehensive and an influential method on RT plans and/or treatment decisions.

This research investigated how low dose radiation affected the quality characteristics of Takju. The treatment group were the quality characteristics of control group, Takju treated by radiation of separate 4, 7, 10 Gy and sterilized Takju. We measured pH, titratable acidity, alcohol, brix, total viable cell count, Hunter's color values, sensory characteristic. As a result, We discovered there were minute changes in pH, titratable acidity, alcohol, brix, total viable cell count. Likewise, The color appeared changes on separate radiation dose. In the sensory characteristic, People's preference ranked better than average level according to priority Takju treated by 4, 7, 10 radiation. In conclusion, Low dose radiation had little effect on the quality characteristics of Takju. However, Takju received a favorable review by some people In test of taste such as after taste. So We thought, such as preservation, the research using the radiation should be continually conducted.

Mushrooms belonging to macrofungi have been consumed by humans for their nutritional and medicinal values for centuries throughout the world. Mushroom farming is practiced in more than 100 countries of the world, with production increasing at a rate of 7% per annum. High yield and good quality are always the principal goals for agriculturally important crops, including mushrooms. Several breeding methods are employed for strain improvement such as mass selection based on the natural chance mutation and induced mutation (mutation breeding), protoplast fusion technology, cross breeding and transgenic breeding. However, mutation breeding has shown prominent success in crop plant improvement. Though several-hundred mutant crop varieties have been developed around the world, the mutation breeding of mushrooms is limited. This review paper explores the potential application of radiation on the development of mutant varieties of mushrooms for breeding with desired traits such as better quality and productivity.

본 연구는 발효정도가 다른 가루녹차 첨가가 유과의 저장 중 품질특성에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위해 불발효차(부초차, 옥로차), 반발효차(오룡차), 발효차(홍차)를 첨가하여 유과를 제조하였다. 제조된 유과샘플들은 수분, 조지방 함량 측정, 조직감 분석, TBA 측정, 관능평가에 사용하였다. 수분 및 조지방 함량에 있어 각각의 실험구들간의 유의적인 차이는 없었으며 조직감 역시 실험구들간의 유의적 차이는 없었다. 또한 가루녹차가 첨가된 모든 실험구들에서 저장기간 동안 TBA 값의 증가가 대조구에 비해 유의적으로 낮게 나타났으며, 특히 불발효차의 항산화 효과가 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 종합적인 관능적 수용도에 있어 불발효차가 반발효차와 발효차보다 유의적으로 높게 나타났다. 이상의 결과를 종합하여 볼 때, 불발효차 첨가가 유과 제조 시 품질 및 저장성 향상에 기여할 것으로 판단되었다.

Under the time-varying temperature, the high-temperature radiation of forgings and the change of reflection characteristics of oxide skin on the surface of forgings lead to the difficulty of obtaining images to truly reflect the geometric characteristics of forgings. It is urgent to study the clear and reliable acquisition method of hot forging feature image under time-varying temperature to meet the requirements of visual measurement of hot geometric parameters of forgings. Based on this, this chapter first puts forward the quality evaluation method of forging feature image, which provides guarantee for the accurate evaluation of feature image quality. Furthermore, the factors that affect the image quality, such as the radiation characteristics of forgings and the photographic characteristics of cameras, are analyzed, and the imaging spectrum which can effectively suppress the radiation intensity of forgings is determined. Finally, aiming at the problem that the quality of image acquisition is difficult to guarantee due to the drastic change of radiation intensity of forgings under time-varying temperature, an image acquisition method based on minimum signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) based laser light intensity adaptation is proposed, which significantly improves the definition of feature light strips in forging images at high temperature, and finally realizes the clear acquisition of feature images of large-scale hot forging under time-varying temperature.

본 연구는 청국장의 관능적 품질개선을 위한 연구의 일환으로 녹차를 첨가하여 청국장을 발효시킨 후 품질특성을 비교 평가하고 최종적으로 녹차가 청국장의 풍미 증진을 위한 첨가제로서 활용될 수 있는지에 대한 가능성을 평가하고자 실시하였다. 그 결과 완전발효차와 반발효차 첨가시 청국장 발효가 정상적으로 이루어지지 않아 청국장 제조를 위한 원료로서 부적합한 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 관능평가 결과는 녹차종류에 관계없이 녹차첨가에 의해 시각적 품질이 감소하였으나, 불발효차 및 증제차의 경우 이취개선 효과로 인해 향, 맛, 종합적 기호도가 증가하였으며, 녹차첨가로 인해 항산화활성이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과를 종합하여 볼 때 녹차 특히, 불발효차 및 증제차 첨가는 청국장의 이취를 감소시켜 청국장의 관능적 품질을 증진시킬 수 있는 효과적인 방법으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 평가되었다.

This paper aims to verify the clinical feasibility of a custom-made film created by a laser cutting tool for End-to-End (E2E) quality assurance in robotic intensity modulated radiation therapy system. The custom-made film was fabricated from the Gafchromic EBT3 film with the size of $8^{{\prime}{\prime}}{\times}10^{{\prime}{\prime}}$ using a drawing that is identical to the shape and scale of the original E2E film. The drawing was created by using a computer aided design program with the image file, which is obtained by scanning original E2E film. Beam delivery and evaluations were respectively performed with the original film and the custom-made film using fixed-cone collimator on three tracking modes: 6D skull (6DS), Xsight spine (XS), and Xsight lung (XL). The differences between total targeting errors of the original and custom-made films were recorded as 0.17 mm, 0.3 mm, and 0.17 mm at 6DS, XS, and XL tracking modes, respectively. This indicates that the custom-made film could yield nearly equivalent results to those of the original E2E film, given the uncertainties caused by distortions during film scanning and vibrations associated with film cutting. By confirming the clinical feasibility of a custom-made film for E2E testing, it can be expected that economic efficiency of the testing will increase accordingly.

방사선치료는 수술, 항암치료와 함께 암의 3대 치료방법으로 많은 암환자들이 방사선치료를 받게 된다. 방사선은 눈에 보이지 않아 방사선 치료기계에서 나가는 방사선의 질과 양을 확인하기 쉽지 않고 산란되는 특성 때문에 다른 장기에 2차암이 유도할 수 있고 최근 치료기술의 발달로 치료 방사선에 대한 보다 정밀한 검증이 필요하게 되었다. 따라서 방사선 치료기기에 대한 품질관리를 철저히 해야만 한다. 국제원자력기구, 미국의학물리학회 등 해외에서는 보고서들을 제시하여 각 지역적인 차원에서 방사선 치료기기의 품질관리에 대한 권고를 제시한다. 하지만 국내는 외국에 비해 규모가 작아 각 병원에서 국외의 권고 중 일부를 선택적으로 사용한다. 국내 병원을 대상으로만 한 방사선치료의 품질관리 권고가 존재하지 않지만 국외의 권고들이 갱신되고 있으며 향후 국내 품질관리 권고를 제작하기 위해 국내 품질관리의 현황 역시 조사 및 갱신 될 필요성이 있으므로 본 연구에서는 방사선치료기에 대한 품질관리 설문지를 제작하여 국내 품질관리 경향에 대한 조사를 실시하였다. 초본으로 제작된 설문지를 국내 5개 기관의 의학물리학자에게 배포하여 설문지의 부족한 점을 파악하고 보충하여 최종 설문지를 제작한 후 이를 전국 72개 병원의 방사선 종양학과에 배포하여 조사를 실시하였다. 72개 병원 중 37개 병원에서 요청에 응답해주었으며 이들 중 97.3%의 병원이 선형가속기를 보유하고 있으며 40.54%, 18.92%, 24.32%의 병원이 각각 근접치료장치, 토모치료장치, 방사선수술장치를 보유하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이 밖에 품질관리 인력 및 장치, 국내의 환자 품질관리 현황, 각 치료기별 품질관리 현황에 대한 설문이 실시되었으며 이 결과는 향후 표준 품질관리 절차서가 제작될 경우 사용되기에 좋은 자료가 될 것이다.
