국내에서 재배중인 옥수수 재래종 (고성, 영월)품종의 종자에 저선량 ${\gamma}$선을 조사하여 초기생육과 수량에 미치는 영향을 온실과 포장실험으로 조사하였다. 저선량 방사선 조사가 옥수수 종자발아 및 초기생육에서 뚜렷한 촉진효과를 보였으나 품종별로 다소 차이가 있었으며 고성재래종은 2 Gy, 영월재래종은 12 Gy가 가장 효과적이었다. 포장생장과 수량에서도 저선량 조사에 의해 증가하는 경향을 보였는데 적정선량은 고성재래종은 8 Gy, 영월재래종은 $4{\sim}12$ Gy 범위로 나타났다.

Objectives: We conducted a meta-analysis to investigate the relationship between low external doses of ionizing radiation exposure and the risk of cancer mortality among nuclear power plant workers. Methods: We searched MEDLINE using key words related to low dose and cancer risk. The selected articles were restricted to those written in English from 1990 to January 2009. We excluded those studies with no fit to the selection criteria and we included the cited references in published articles to minimize publication bias. Through this process, a total of 11 epidemiologic studies were finally included. A publication bias was tested for using Egger's test. The homogeneity test was performed before the integration of each of the standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) and the result proved that the studies were heterogeneous. Results: We found significant decreased deaths from all cancers (SMR = 0.75, 95% CI = 0.62 - 0.90), all cancers excluding leukemia, solid cancer, mouth and pharynx, esophagus, stomach, rectum, liver and gallbladder, pancreas, lung, prostate, lymphopoietic and hematopoitic cancer. The findings of this meta-analysis were similar with those of the 15 Country Collaborative Study conducted by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. A publication bias was found only for liver and gallbladder cancer (p = 0.015). Heterogeneity was observed for all cancers, all cancers excluding leukemia, solid cancer, esophagus, colon and lung cancer. Conclusions: Our findings of low mortality for stomach, rectum, liver and gallbladder cancers may explained by the health worker effect. Yet further studies are needed to clarify the low SMR of cancers, for which there is no useful screening tool, in nuclear power plant workers.

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.

WSGGM based low-resolution spectral model for calculating radiation transfer in combustion gases is applied to estimate self-absorption of radiation energy in one-dimensional opposed flow flames. Development of such a model is necessary in order to enable detailed chemistry-radiation interaction calculations including self-absorption. Database of band model parameters which can be applied to various one-dimensional opposed flow diffusion and partially premixed flames is created. For the validation of the model and database, low resolution spectral intensities at fuel exit side are calculated and compared with the results of a narrow band model with those based on the Curtis-Godson approximation. Good agreements have been found between them. The resulting radiation model is coupled to the OPPDIF code to calculate the self-absorption of radiant energy and compared with the results of an optically thin calculation and the results of a discrete ordinates method in conjunction with the statistical narrow band model. Significant self-absorption of radiation is found for the flames considered here particularly for the fuel side of the reacting zone. However, the self-absorption does not have significant effects on the flame structure in this case. Even in the case of the low velocity diffusion flame and the partially premixed flame of low equivalence ratio, the effects of self-absorption of radiation on the flame temperature and production of minor species are not significant.

저선량 방사선 조사한 고추 2품종, 조광고추와 조흥고추의 종자 발아율과 초기생육 및 고추 유식물체의 후속 고선량에 대한 내성 변화를 알아보고자 저선량 0, 4, 8, 20, 50 Gy를 조사하여 재배한 고추 유식물체에 ${\gamma}$선 50 Gy와 100 Gy를 조사한 후 생육상황을 관찰하였다. 저선량 조사한 고추 유식물체의 초기생육 촉진과 후속고선량 내성은 품종에 따라 달랐는데, 조광고추보다 조홍고추 품종에서 뚜렷한 증가효과를 나타냈고 발아율과 초기생육촉진은 4, 8, 20 Gy 조사구에서 효과적이었다. 조홍고추 유식물체의 후속고선량에 대한 내성은 사전 저선량 조사에 의해 크게 증가되었는데 특히 4Gy조사구에서 효과가 가장 뚜렷하였으며 후속고선량에 대해 내성이 증진된 고추 유식물체중의 carotenoid와 단백질 함량 및 CAT활성은 4 Gy와 8 Gy 조사구에서 높았다.

채소종자의 발아와 초기생장에 대한 저선량 방사선과 종자수분 함량의 영향을 알아보고자 배추, 무, 고추, 호박 참박 각각의 건조종자와 습윤종자에 저선량 감마선을 $0{\sim}20\;Gy$ 수준으로 조사하였다. 수분함량을 상이하게 하여 관찰한 발아와 초기생장에 미치는 저선량 방사선 효과는 작물종에 따라 다르게 나타났다. 발아율의 경우는 건조종자보다 습윤종자에서 대체로 높았으며 저선량 효과는 배추와 호박의 습윤종자4 Gy와 2 Gy에서 각각 33%와 13% 증가하여 뚜렷한 효과를 보였고, 참박은 건조종자 $4{\sim}8\;Gy$에서 높았다. 초기생장은 습윤종자에서 뚜렷한 효과를 보여 배추와 무는 10 Gy, 호박은 2 Gy, 참박은 8 Gy에서 $6{\sim}26%$ 정도 증가하였다. 이러한 초기생장 촉진효과는 저선량 방사선과 수분함량 상호간에 유의적인 차이를 보였으며 특히 배추와 참박에서 가장 높았다. 즉, 채소 종자의 수분함량을 상이하게 하여 저선량 방사선의 효과를 조사한 결과 적정 수분함량에서 발아와 유묘생장이 촉진됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

Heptaplatin, cis-malonato [(4R,5R)-4,5-bis (amino-methyl)-2-isopropyl-1,3-dioxolane] platinum(II) (SKI-2053R, Sunpla) is a new platinum derivative with antitumor activity comparable to cisplatin on various cancer cell lines. Preclinical studies suggest that it is less nephrotoxic than cisplatin. This study was undertaken to examine the combined effect of heptaplatin and ionizing radiation on two established human squamous carcinoma cell lines (NCI-H520, SQ20B). The cytotoxic activity of heptaplatin was concentration-dependent in both cell lines. When low dose heptaplatin was combined with high dose ionizing radiation, there was an additive cytotoxic effect on NCI-H520 cells (P < 0.05), while a moderate dose of heptaplatin and a low dose of ionizing radiation had an additive cytotoxic effect on the growth of SQ20B cells (P < 0.05). FACS analysis and DAPI staining showed that their additive cytotoxic effects were correlated with the induction of apoptosis. Further studies are warranted using heptaplatin and ionizing radiation in squamous cell carcinoma as a substitute for cisplatin.

In this study, an underwater radiation detector was built using a GAGG(Ce) scintillator and silicon photomultiplier to establish an underwater radiation exposure monitoring system. The GAGG(Ce) scintillator is suitable for small radiation detectors as it strongly absorbs gamma rays and has a high light emission rate with no deliquescent properties. Additionally, the silicon photomultiplier is a light sensor with characteristics such as small size and low applied voltage. Further, a program and mobile app were developed to monitor the radiation coefficient values generated from the detector. According to the results of the evaluation of the characteristics of the underwater radiation monitoring system, when tested for its responsiveness to radiation intensity and reactivity, the system exhibited a coefficient of determination of at least 0.99 with respect to the radiation source distance. Additionally, when tested for its underwater environmental temperature dependence, the monitoring system exhibited an increase in the count rate up to a certain temperature because of the increasing dark current and a decrease in the count rate because of decreasing overvoltage. Extended studies based on the results of this study are expected to greatly contribute to immediate and continuing evaluation of the degree of radioactive contamination in underwater environments.

인체 말초 혈액 림프구에서 저선량의 감마선에 의해 유도되는 적응 반응을 관찰하였다. 인체 림프구를 저선량의 감마선(priming dose 0.01Gy) 을 조사한 후 여러 시간 간격 후 고선량 (challenging dose, 1.5Gy) 을 조사하였다. 저선량을 미리 조사한 림프구와 조사하지 않은 림프구에서 발생된 미세핵의 빈도를 계수하였다. 비세핵 발생 빈도는 저선량 조사 4시간 후 고선량을 조사하였을 때 최대 감소치를 보였다. 저선량과 고선량 조사 시간차가 7시간 또는 20시간이었을 때 미세핵 발생 빈도는 약간 감소하였으나 유의성은 없었다. 본 연구에서는 $G_0$상태의 세포주기에서 저선량을 조사하였을 경우 적응 반응이 나타나는 것이 관찰 되었다. 미세핵 분석법은 실험 방법이 비교적 간단하고, 기타 염색체 분석법에 비하여 빠른 시간내 결과를 도출 할 수 있어 추후 방사선에 대한 적응 반응의 연구에 유용한 지표가 될 수 있을 것이다.
