Purpose: To study the overall treatment time (OTT) and acute toxicity of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) treatment for nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Methods: This retrospective study covered all NPC patients who underwent radical IMRT treatment at the Penang General Hospital from June 2011 to February 2012. Patients of any age and stage of disease with histologically proven diagnosis were included. Information was collected on patient demographics, clinical stage, treatment received, including any neoadjuvant and/or concurrent chemotherapy, acute toxity and completion of IMRT within the OTT. Results: A total of 26 NPC patients were treated with IMRT during the study period; 88.5% had stage III/IV disease. 45.2% received neo-adjuvant chemotherapy while 50.0% were given concurrent chemo-irradiation. All patients completed the treatment and 92.3% within the 7 weeks OTT. Xerostomia was present in all patients with 92.3% having grade 2. Severe grade III/IV acute toxicity occurred in 73.1% of patients, the commonest of which was oral mucositis (57.6%). This was followed by dysphagia which occurred in 53.8%, skin reactions in 42.3% and weight loss in 19.2%. However, haematological toxicity was mild with only one patient having leucopaenia. Conclusion: IMRT treatment for NPC is feasible in our center. More importantly, it can be delivered within the 7 weeks OTT in the majority of patients. Severe grade 3/4 toxicity is very common (73.1%) and thus maximal nutritional and analgesic support is required throughout the treatment.

Our study is aimed at proposal of systematic verification method of molecular structure using measuring method of selective ionic determination and spectrometry on 34 kinds of surfactants such as sodium dodecyl sulfate(SDS) which are most widely used today. In the IR spectrum, unsaturated fatty acids reveal themselves by HC= at $3000{\sim}3020cm^{-1}$, and intensity of $720cm^{-1}$ depends on carbon length of alkyl group. Also ethylene oxide(EO) adducts exhibit weak characteristic bands by $-CH_{2}-CH_{2}-O$ at 1350, 1100 and $950cm^{-1}$. Isethionate can be distinguished from diester succinate by intensity ratio of 1740 and $1200cm^{-1}$ spectrums, the ratio of latter is close to 1 due to 2 carboxylate radical in diester succinate. Quaternary ammonium salts exhibit characteristic band of $C_{4}N^{+}$ at $1000-900㎝^{-1}$. In the case of dialkyl dimethyl ammonium salts in quaternary ammonium surfactants, the spectrum of $3000cm^{-1}$ by $N-CH_{3}$ collapses to a very weak band at $3020cm^{-1}$. In ammonium heterocyclic derivatives, pyridinium salts show characteristic bands at 1640 and $1460cm^{-1}$, while imidazolinium salts exhibit characteristic band at $1620-1610cm^{-1}$. In the characteristic spectrum at $1080-1050cm^{-1}$ on OH radicals of the alkyl esters, primary alcohol appears as weak band and the 2 bands show in almost same intensity when primary and secondary alcohols exist together in one molecule. Also, alkyl ester of polyhydric alcohols appears as various broad band.

본 연구는 만병초 에탄올추출물의 식중독 유발균에 대한 항균효과 및 항산화 활성을 조사하였다. 추출물의 항균활성은 paper disc 방법으로 조사하였다. 추출물을 10 mg/disc 점적한 후 저해환의 크기를 측정한 결과, 그람양성 3균주 중에서 Bacillus cereus에 대해, 그리고 그람음성 5균주 중에서 Escherichia coli O157:H7에 대한 항균활성이 가장 좋았다. 최소 억제 농도(MIC)는 현재 합성보존료로 이용되고 있는 sorbic acid와 비슷하게 나타났다. 또한, 만병초 추출물이 식중독 유발균의 성장에 미치는 효과를 검정하기 위해 Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella Typhimurium과 Escherichia coli O157:H7의 배양액에 250, 500, 1,000 및 2,000 mg/L 농도로 첨가하여 생육을 조사한 결과, 배양시간 별로 250 mg/L 농도까지는 대조군과 차이가 없었으나, 1,000 mg/L 이상의 농도에서는 균의 증식이 억제되었다. 만병초 추출물의 항산화 효능을 조사하기 위해 DPPH 라디칼 소거활성, ROS 생성 억제 및 supercoiled DNA strand 절단 억제효과를 측정하였다. Pyrogallol의 억제율을 100%로 기준하였을 때, DPPH 라디칼을 50% 억제시키는데 필요한 만병초 추출물의 농도는 양성대조군인 ${\alpha}$-tocopherol의 약 절반으로 나타났다. 추출물의 농도가 증가할수록 DCF 형광도는 감소하여 ROS 생성이 농도 의존적으로 억제되고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 추출물의 ROS 생성 억제효과는 양성 대조군인 아스코르빈산에 비해 높게 나타났다. 또한, 만병초 추출물은 peroxyl radical 및 hydroxyl radical로 유발된 supercoiled DNA strand 절단을 억제시켰다. 따라서 본 연구결과는 만병초 추출물이 식중독 유발균에 대하여 우수한 항균작용과 항산화능을 나타내어 만병초가 효과적인 천연보존료 및 항산화제로서 이용될 수 있음을 시사하고 있다.

방사선 조사(1~4 kGy)와 저장 기간(4$^{\circ}C$, 6개월)에 따른 건조과일의 TL 및 ESR검지 특성과 관능적 품질을 평가하였다. 건포도에서 분리된 mineral의 TL측정에서 비조사구는 200~30$0^{\circ}C$ 부근에서 매우 낮은 intensity의 glow curve(TLI)를 나타내었으나, 1 kGy 이상의 조사구에서는 특유의 peak가 18$0^{\circ}C$ 부근에서 나타나면서 선량 의존적으로 intensity가 증가되었다($R^2$=0.9684). 이로써 방사선 조사구와 비조사구의 판별이 6개월 동안 가능하였다. 또한 재조사(1 kG)에 의해 측정된 TL$_2$signal을 활용하여 TL ratio(TL$_1$/TL$_2$)를 계산하였을 때 검지결과의 신뢰도를 높일 수 있었다. 건 바나나의 ESR 측정에서 1 kGy 이상의 조사 시료는 crystalline sugar radical 유래의 전형적인 multicomponent line을 보여 주어 조사 여부의 판별이 가능하였고 signal의 강도는 선량 의존적($R^2$= 0.8977)으로 6개월 동안 비교적 안정하였다. 방사선 조사된 건조과일은 6개월까지 상품성이 잘 유지되었으므로 TL 및 ESR 분석은 건포도와 건 바나나의 검지 관리에 적합한 방법임이 확인되었다.

건마늘과 건양배추에 대하여 감마선 조사(0, 2.5, 5, 10, 20 kGy)에 따른 검지특성을 PSL, ESR 및 TL 분석에 의해 확인하였다. PSL 분석결과, 건마늘과 건양배추의 비 조사시료는 287-337 photon counts로 negative값을 나타내었고, 조사시료는 7511-54063 photon counts의 positive값을 나타내어 비 조사시료와 조사시료간의 차이를 확인할 수 있었다. ESR 분석 결과, 건마늘의 경우 비 조사시료에서 나타나지 않은 cellulose radical이 고선량(20 kGy)에서 관찰되었고, 건양배추의 경우 조사시료에서 crystalline sugar 유래의 multi- component signal이 관찰되었다. 또한 조사선량이 증가할수록 ESR signal intensity도 유의적으로 증가하였다($R^2$= 0.9369-0.9926). TL 분석 결과, 건마늘과 건양배추 모두 비 조사시료와 조사시료의 glow curve가 나타나는 온도 범위(150-250$^{\circ}C$)와 TL intensity의 차이가 명확하였고, 조사선량의 증가에 따라 TL signal intensity가 증가하였다($R^2$= 0.9670-0.9768). 그리고 TL ratio($TL_1/TL_2$)의 측정결과는 비 조사구는 0.1 이하, 조사구는 0.1 이상의 값을 나타내어 TL 분석결과의 신뢰성을 높여주었다.

The highly oriented diamond particles were deposited on the mirror-polished (100) silicon substrates in the bell-jar type microwave plasma deposition system using a three-step process consisting if carburization, bias-enhanced nucleation and growth. By adjusting the geometry of the substrate and substrate holder, very dense disc-shaped plasma was formed over the substrate when the bias voltage was below -200V. Almsot perfectly oriented diamond films were obtained only in this dense disc-shaped plasma. From the results of the optical emission spectra of the dense disc-shaped plasma, it was found that the concentrations of atomic hydrogen and hydrocarbon radical were increased with negative bias voltage. It was also found that the highly oriented diamonds were deposited in the region, where the intensity ratios of carbonaceous species to atomic hydrogen are saturated.

The vibronically well-resolved emission spectrum was recorded from the corona discharge of precursor 2,3,4-trifluorotoluene in a corona excited supersonic expansion with a pinhole-type glass nozzle using a long-path monochromator in the visible region. From the analysis of the observed spectrum, we found the evidence of the presence of the difluorobenzyl radicals in the corona discharge of the precursor. A possible mechanism is proposed for the formation of difluorobenzyl radicals in the gas phase on the basis of the observed emission intensity of the difluorobenzyl radicals produced.

The dielectric breakdown of epoxy composites used for transformers was experimented and then its data were applied to Weibull distribution probability. First of all, speaking of dielectric breakdown properties, the more hardener increased, the stronger breakdown strength became at low temperature because of cross-linked density by the virtue of ester radical. The breakdown strength of specimens with filler was lower than it of non-filler specimens because it is believed that the adding filler forms interface and charge is accumulated in it, therefore the molecular motility is raised and the electric field is concentrated. In the case of filled specimens with treating silane, the breakdown strength become much higher. Finally, according to Weibull distribution analysis, reducing breakdown probability of equipment insulation lower than 0.1 % level requires the allowable field intensity values to be kept under 21.5 MV/cm.

The lift-off characteristics of the triple flame have been studied experimentally with various mean velocities and concentration gradients using a multi-slot burner, which can control the concentration gradient and the mean velocity independently, Lift-off height, axial maximum velocity, flame temperature, and some other characteristics were examined for methane and propane flame, It was found that minimum values of the lift-off heights exist at a certain concentration gradient for constant mean velocity, and this result implies that the propagation velocity has a maximum value at this condition, OH radical distribution was measured with LIF method and velocity variation along streamline was measured with PlV system. In addition maximum temperature along streamline was measured with CARS system. The intensity of the diffusion flame affects on the propagation velocity of triple flame in the region of very weak concentration gradient.
