  • Radiation therapy is an important part of cancer treatment in which cancer patients are treated using high-energy radiation such as x-rays, gamma rays, electrons, protons, and neutrons. Currently, about half of all cancer patients receive radiation treatment during their whole cancer care process. The goal of radiation therapy is to deliver the necessary radiation dose to cancer cells while minimizing dose to surrounding normal tissues. Success of radiation therapy highly relies on how accurately 1) identifies the target and 2) aim radiation beam to the target. Both tasks are strongly dependent of imaging technology and many imaging modalities have been applied for radiation therapy such as CT (Computed Tomography), MRI (Magnetic Resonant Image), and PET (Positron Emission Tomogaphy). Recently, many researchers have given significant amount of effort to develop and improve imaging techniques for radiation therapy to enhance the overall quality of patient care. For example, advances in medical imaging technology have initiated the development of the state of the art radiation therapy techniques such as intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), gated radiation therapy, tomotherapy, and image guided radiation therapy (IGRT). Capability of determining the local tumor volume and location of the tumor has been significantly improved by applying single or multi-modality imaging fur static or dynamic target. The use of multi-modality imaging provides a more reliable tumor volume, eventually leading to a better definitive local control. Image registration technique is essential to fuse two different image modalities and has been In significant improvement. Imaging equipments and their common applications that are in active use and/or under development in radiation therapy are reviewed.

  • This study evaluated the microbial population (total aerobic count, fungi) and organoleptic quality of freeze-dried bibimbap sterilized by gamma irradiation to develop the space food. An irradiation dose above 30 kGy was needed to sterilize the freeze-dried bibimbap, while organoleptic quality of the sample was significantly decreased by irradiation (p<0.05). However, it was observed that scores on overall acceptance of rehydrated bibimbap after irradiation were the highest, when vitamin C and paprika extract were added at 0.1%, respectively. Therefore, it was considered that the freeze-dried bibimbap could be developed as a space food, which meet microbial requirements and organoleptic quality through addition of vitamin C 0.1% and paprika extract 0.1% before gamma irradiation at 30 kGy.

  • The detection properties of gamma-irradiated (0~10 kGy) dried seaweed, dried shrimp, and seasoned dried filefish were investigated by photo-stimulated luminescence (PSL) and electron spin resonance (ESR). PSL could be used as a detection method on irradiated dried seaweed and dried shrimp as they showed photon counts greater than 5,000 counts/60 s (positive) in the irradiated samples with doses above l kGy. However, PSL could not be applied to detect irradiated seasoned dried filefish, because gamma-irradiated sample at 10 kGy even yielded photon counts less than 700 counts/60 s (negative). The ESR spectroscopy for only dried shrimp revealed specific signals derived from free radicals captured in the shell of shrimp. As a result, it is considered that PSL or ESR methods for detection of gamma-irradiated dried shrimp and only PSL can be used to detect gamma-irradiated seaweed. Furthermore, it is considered that hydrocarbon analysis of seasoned dried filefish containing fat by GC/MS and Thermo Luminance (TL) analysis of dried seaweed should be studied for detection of irradiation.

  • The purpose of this study is to reduce the immune toxicity of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) by gamma irradiation. LPS was gamma-irradiated at the various doses of 20, 100 and 200 kGy and then evaluated on the immune toxicity through the cell proliferation, nitricoxide production and cytokine release. Cell proliferation significantly decreased in the intact LPS treated groups, whereas gamma-irradiated LPS treated group were not reduced the cell proliferation. Similarly, the production of nitric oxide and cytokine showed the high levels in the intact LPS treated group. However, gamma-irradiated LPS treated group remarkably decreased the production of nitric oxide and cytokine in dose-dependent manner. Therefore, gamma irradiation may effective method to reduce the immune toxicity of LPS.

  • In this study, we investigated to evaluate differential expression of genes encoding lipid transfer proteins (LTP) by acute and chronic gamma irradiation in rice. After acute and chronic gamma irradiation by 100 Gy and 400 Gy to rice plant, necrotic lesion was observed in the leaf blade and anthocyanin contents were increased. We isolated a total of 21 rice lipid transfer protein (LTP) genes in the TIGR database, and these genes were divided into four different groups on the basis of nucleotide sequences. The LTP genes also were classified as different four classes according to expression pattern using RT-PCR. Group A, B contained genes with increased expression and decreased expression in acute and chronic, respectively. Group C contained genes with contrasted expression pattern. Group D wasn't a regular pattern. But the specific affinity was not obtained between two grouping.

  • Three-dimensional network hydrogels were prepared by ${\gamma}$-irradiation of aqueous solutions of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and glycerol (Gly). Oven-drying was used to measure the gel fraction (G), hydration (H) or swelling behavior (S) of the prepared hydrogels. This study made a hypothesis that hydrogen bonds due to addition of glycerol and change of dry states such as freeze-drying (FD), room-drying (RD) and oven-drying (OD) acts on the G, H, and S. Interesting results on the hydrogen bonding effect in the prepared hydrogels are monitored at different drying conditions. The FD samples have a higher G values with increase in glycerol content as compared with the OD and RD samples. The formation of strong hydrogen bonding network among Gly molecules and hydrogel matrix was considered as the main driving force, resulting in the changes in the G, H, and S of the hydrogels under different drying conditions.
