  • Background: To study the effect of parecoxib, a novel cyclooxygenase-2 selective inhibitor, on the radiation response of colorectal cancer (CRC) cells and its underlying mechanisms. Materials and Methods: Both in vitro colony formation and apoptosis assays as well as in vivo mouse xenograft experiments were used to explore the radiosensitizing effects of parecoxib in human HCT116 and HT29 CRC cells. Results: Parecoxib sensitized CRC cells to radiation in vitro with a sensitivity enhancement ratio of 1.32 for HCT116 cells and 1.15 for HT29 cells at a surviving fraction of 0.37. This effect was partially attributable to enhanced apoptosis induction by parecoxib combined with radiation, as illustrated using an in vitro apoptosis assays. Parecoxib augmented the tumor response of HCT116 xenografts to radiation, achieving growth delay more than 20 days and an enhancement factor of 1.53. In accordance with the in vitro results, parecoxib combined with radiation resulted in less proliferation and more apoptosis in tumors than radiation alone. Radiation monotherapy decreased microvessel density (MVD) and microvessel intensity (MVI), but increased the hypoxia level in xenografts. Parecoxib did not affect MVD, but it increased MVI and attenuated hypoxia. Conclusions: Parecoxib can effectively enhance radiation sensitivity in CRC cells through direct effects on tumor cells and indirect effects on tumor vasculature.

  • The domestic solar radial ion data have been measured at 16 different sites all over the country since the beginning of 1980. It is very important that the fundamental data for the estimation and assessment of local solar radiation can be secured this project. In order to estimate available energy resource from solar radiation, it is necessary to have enough data, more than 30 years In any country. However since we have collected solar radiation(global radial ion including direct normal radiation) data only for 10 years we still need to measure insolation to secure the reliability and standardization of measured local solar radial ion data. In brief, the major activities on this R&D include rout me maintenance of the national network for insolation data measurement, evaluation of the collected data, and reliability enhancement for assessing the quality of solar radiation data as well.

  • The cel7A sequence variation was analyzed between the wild type (Lentinula edodes KACC42378) and its cellulase activity enhanced mutant LER277. LER277 was induced by using gamma ray radiation ($^{60}Co$) at the $LD_{99}$ dose (0.94 kGy). Cloning and sequencing results showed that the cel7A coding DNA sequence (CDS) of LER277 had five nucleotide substitutions ($T{\rightarrow}C$, 201, 285 and 744 nt; $A{\rightarrow}G$, 525 nt; $C{\rightarrow}T$, 540 nt) and one hexanucleotide repeat insertion (GGCACC, within 1375-1392 nt) compared to that of the wild type. The Five nucleotide substitutions did not change the deduced amino acids and the hexanucleotide insertion elongated the GT repeat in a serine/threonine/glycine-rich linker. These results suggest that the enhancement of the cellulase activity in LER277 partly stemmed from cel7A changes by which the GT repeat of the linker is elongated.

  • Purpose : The study was designed to investigate the effect of cis-dichlorodiammineplatinum(II)(cis-DDP) on the radiation-induced cardiomyopathy in the rat. Materials and Methods : The myocardial damage was assessed by histopathologic changes. In radiation alone group, radiation dose ranged from 10-40 Gy X-ray in a single dose and in combined group, cis-dichlorodiammineplatinum(II) at a dose of 6 mg/kg was given intraperitoneally immediately after irradiation of same dose with X-ray alone group. Results : The early changes by radiation included congestion, inflammatory cell infiltrations and fibrosis in myocardial interstitium with focal myocardial necrosis, which was noted in 10 Gy group, Myocardial fibrosis was increased by increasing dose of radiation but myocardial necrosis was not Proportional to radiation dose. cis-DDP alone group showed minimal degeneration of myocardium with surrounded by inflammatory cell infiltrations. In combined group, myocardial fibrosis in 10 Gy group were similar to radiation alone group, but 30 Gy and 40 Gy groups showed severer changes. Electron microscopic examination showed disruption of Z-band and edema of mitochondria with decreased matrix density in 20 Gy radiation group which were severer in 40 Gy radiation group. Combined group showed endothelial changes and disruption of Z-band worse than radiation alone group as well as increased connective tissue, which was considered as a hallmark of late change in radiation-induced heart disease. Conclusion : This results showed minimal enhancement of the radiation-induced cardiomyopathy in rats by cis-DDP.

  • 온열요법은 조직에 $40^{\circ}C-44^{\circ}C$의 열을 가함으로서 방사선에 저항성이 큰 DNA합성기의 세포 및 pH가 낮은 세포에 민감하게 작용하는 생물학적 효과를 암 치료에 이용하는 것이다. 그러나 온열요법은 방사선과의 병행요법에 의하여 발생되는 열증강율 및 치료 이득이 방사선량, 열량, 온도, 가열시간, 온도분포, 조사시간 등에 민감하고 변화가 많으므로 객관적인 치료효과와 통일된 치료방법을 결정하기가 어렵다. 저자는 2450MHz, 100watt의 마이크로파 온열기구와 조직등가인 팬톱을 직접제작하여 예비측정을 통해 방열 조사조건과 방법을 결정한 후 생물학적 반응을 관찰하기 위하여 102마리 흰쥐 소장 및 대장의 조직학적 면화를 관찰하고 열증강율에 따른 효과를 비교 평가하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1 온열요법 단독으로는 소장과 대장의 조직학적 면화는 볼 수 없었다. 2. 방사선 조사 단독군과 병행군에서 소장 및 대장의 점막상피 괴사는 방사선 조사 6Gy에서 관찰되었으며 방사선량의 증가와 관찰시간 경과에 따라 그 정도가 심하여졌다. 3. 방사선 조사 단독군과 병행군에서 소장 및 대장의 근육층의 괴사는 방사선 조사 10Gy에서 관찰되기 시작하였으며 관찰시간의 경과에 따라 그 정도가 심하여졌다. 4. 방사선 조사와 온열요법 병행군에서 소장과 대장의 조직학적 변화(점막상피와 근육층의 괴사)를 관찰하여 열증강율은 증가되지 않았다.

  • 근접 결합 급전 방식을 이용한 마이크로스트립 패치 안테나의 급전 선로에 임피던스 정합기를 집적하여 대역폭을 확장하는 방법에 대하여 연구하였다. 여러 가지 유전상수와 두께를 가지는 기판을 사용한 근접 결합 급전을 이용한 패치 안테나에 임피던스 정합기를 집적한 경우와 임피던스 정합기를 사용하지 않은 경우의 대역폭과 방사특성을 비교하였다. 임피던스 정합기를 사용한 경우가 사용하지 않은 경우에 비하여 방사특성의 저하 없이 대역폭이 크게 증가함을 볼 수 있었다.

  • Purpose: Particle beam therapy is advantageous over photon therapy. However, adequately delivering therapeutic doses to tumors near critical organs is difficult. Nanoparticle-aided radiation therapy can be used to alleviate this problem, wherein nanoparticles can passively accumulate at higher concentrations in the tumor tissue compared to the surrounding normal tissue. In this study, we investigate the dose enhancement effect due to gold nanoparticle (GNP) when Carbon-12, He-4, and proton beams are irradiated on GNP. Methods: First, monoenergetic Carbon-12 and He-4 ion beams of energy of 283.33 MeV/u and 150 MeV/u, respectively, and a proton beam of energy of 150 MeV were irradiated on a water phantom of dimensions 30 cm×30 cm×30 cm. Subsequently, the secondary-particle information generated near the Bragg peak was recorded in a phase-space (phsp) file. Second, the obtained phsp file was scaled down to a nanometer scale to irradiate GNP of diameter 50 nm located at the center of a 4 ㎛×4 ㎛×4 ㎛ water phantom. The dose enhancement ratio (DER) was calculated in intervals of 1 nm from the GNP surface. Results: The DER of GNP computed at 1 nm from the GNP surface was 4.70, 4.86, and 4.89 for Carbon-12, He-4, and proton beams, respectively; the DER decreased rapidly with increasing distance from the GNP surface. Conclusions: The results indicated that GNP can be used as radiosensitizers in particle beam therapy. Furthermore, the dose enhancement effect of the GNP absorbed by tumor cells can aid in delivering higher therapeutic doses.

  • To induce the enhanced mutants of dinitroaniline herbicide pendimethalin degrading bacterium, Bacillus sp. MS202 was irradiated with gamma radiation at the dose of $LD_{99}$ (3.35 kGy). Three enhanced mutants (MS202m7, MS202m14, MS202m18) were isolated from the candidates by the generation - isolation method. Clear zone formation and the GC analysis confirmed that the degrading activity of each enhanced mutant (MS202m7, MS202m14, MS202m18), the formation of pendimethalin metabolite, increased by $11\%,\;45\%,\;and\;32\%$ than a wild type, respectively. It suggested that these mutants induced by gamma radiation could be useful for the application of pesticide degradation.

  • Monte Carlo 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 MV X, ${\gamma}$선에서의 선량증가 효과를 평가하였다. MCNPX code를 이용하여 ICRU 평판형(Slab) 모의피폭체를 전산모사하였으며, 입사 광자의 에너지, 선량증가 물질의 종류 및 농도에 따른 영향을 분석하였다. 선량증가 물질은 금(aurum), 가돌리늄(gadolinium), 요오드(iodine), 산화철(iron oxide)에 대해 비교 평가하였으며, 입사에너지는 선형가속기에서 발생된 4, 6, 10, 15 MV X선의 스펙트럼과 Co 60의 ${\gamma}$선원을 사용하였다. 모의피폭체 내에 7, 18, 30 mg/g 농도의 물질을 삽입하였으며, 선량증가 효과의 정량적 평가를 위해 선량증가비를 산출하였다. X선의 입사에너지가 낮을수록, 선량증가 물질의 농도가 높을수록 높은 선량증가비를 나타내었으며, 최대 선량증가비는 금 1.079, 가돌리늄 1.062, 요오드 1.049, 산화철 1.035를 보여 금, 가돌리늄, 요오드, 산화철 입자 순으로 높은 선량증가 효과를 보였다. 이러한 결과는 In-vivo, vitro 연구의 기초자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
