여러 국가의 관련기관들은 지역 별로 방사능 정상범위를 제시해 주기적으로 검사하고 있으며 우리나라 역시 방사능 대책 인프라를 구축하여 항시 대비하고 있다. 특히 일본 후쿠시마 피폭사건과 같은 방사능오염이 빈번하게 발생함에 따라 방사능에 대한 사람들의 인식이 위험수준으로 변화하고 있다. 본 데이터는 방사능 정상수치와 관련해 미국정부에서 수집을 하여 각 속성정보들을 파악하고 초과한 수치를 비교분석하였다. 분석 방법으로는 군집화를 사용하고, 특히 EM 알고리즘과 SimpleKMeans 알고리즘을 토대로 실험하였다. 그 결과 정상범위 수치가 높을수록 초과할 확률이 높은 것으로 나타났으며 시간적비용이나 분석정도에 따라 사용할 알고리즘이 다를 수 있다는 것도 알 수 있다. 따라서 정상범위가 높은 지역일수록 해당 기관부처나 정부에서는 조사 빈도수를 높여 반영해야 한다.

Pharmacokinetic (PK) data provide pivotal information in drug development, and they are usually first studied in the preclinical stage using various animals. However, quite often, animal PK data may not match with human PK, especially in metabolites. Thus, most regulatory agencies in the world make it mandatory to obtain metabolite information using ¹⁴C radiolabeled drug in human for small molecule drug candidates. However, such studies are expensive and time consuming and they are usually done at the end of Phase II trials using ~3.7 MBq of ¹⁴C labeled drug in a limited number of human subjects. Introduction of accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) in this kind of study has revolutionized it. Since AMS can measure ¹⁴C level as close as natural abundance, it can quantify the amounts of ¹⁴C labeled drugs and their metabolites produced in human body that consumes less than the amount of 0.0037 MBq of ¹⁴C labeled drug, a very safe level of radioactive dose in human. Therefore, it is now possible to conduct human ¹⁴C studies safely in early clinical trials without spending hefty amount of money and time. Korea Radioisotope Center for Pharmaceuticals(KRICP) at Korea Institute of Biological and Medical Sciences(KIRAMS) has established an AMS facility in 2018, housing a 0.5MV AMS manufactured at the US National Electrostatics Corps (NEC). The AMS instrument has been validated using various standard samples that have been prepared at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in the US, a worldly reputable provider of AMS standards. In this paper, we present a mass balance study for acetaminophen in rats using AMS and prove that the study results are equivalent with those of literature, which shows the AMS facilities at KRICP has successfully installed and be ready to be used in the various PK studies using ¹⁴C labelled compounds for new drug development.

Beta-ray irradiation effects on structural changes of the chromosomes in root tip of rye, Secale cereale L., seedlings, particularly the frequency of chromosome bridge induction at anaphase stage treated with radioactive sulfur (S35) solutions were studied in this experiment. Among the four different concentrations of isotope solution, the lowest one, 0.4$\mu$c solution, has shown weak effect on the induction of chromosome aberration. On the other hand, higher concentration, 25.6$\mu$c solution, induced higher frequency of chromosome bridge induction as much as 4.3%. Concerning the relationship between the ages of after treatment and the ranges of concentration, the higher concentrations showed more pronounced effects than the lower ones.

This experiment was carried out to identify and to compare the radiosensitivities of bacteriz isolated from the sources of different radiation exposure histories. Among 10 strains isolated in this investigation, 4 strains of bacteria, Bacillus firmus, Bacillus brevis, Baciilus subtilis and Bacillus sphaericus were isolated from high and low radioactive sites simulaneously. Bacterial strains isolated from radioactive sources such as reactor and isotope production rooms were more resistant to irradiation than the microganisms from medical products and laboratories, however, there was no significance in radiosensitivity in the same species of bacteriz, even if they were isolated from different radiation exposure histories.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate maternal organ and fetal doses by week of pregnancy for pregnant women nuclear medicine practitioners in the nuclear medicine field. In addition, we intend to present basic data for the management of exposure doses of female nuclear medicine practitioners. In this study, phantoms of childbearing women, 3, 6, 9 months pregnant women were simulated using MCNPX(Monte Carlo N-Particle Extended) among the Monte Carlo methods. First, volume source was constructed based on 10 cm of the anterior part of the lower abdomen of the phantom, and the organ and fetal doses were evaluated for each week of the pregnant woman according to the type of radioactive isotope. Second, the organ and fetal dose of pregnant women were evaluated by increasing the distance between the source and the abdominal surface by 50 and 100 cm. As a result, ¹⁸F sources showed high organ and fetal doses in pregnant women 0 to 3 months, and the dose distribution gradually decreased in 6 to 9 months pregnant women. The distribution of organ and fetal doses for ⁹⁹mTc and ¹²³I sources showed the same tendency as that of ¹⁸F, and the overall absorbed dose distribution was relatively lower than that of ¹⁸F. Through this study, it is considered that workers in the early stages of pregnancy within 3 months will need appropriate management to minimize occupational exposure dose.

방사성 물질 중 동위원소를 이용한 치료는 1964년부터 현재까지 꾸준히 증가하는 추세이다. 그에 따른 안전관리도 강화 되었다. 그러나 현재 규정과 제도가 오히려 치료행위에 악영향을 주거나 이를 회피하기 위한 수단으로 임상에서 치료병동을 개설하지 아니하고 소량의 방사능으로 치료를 하고 있으며, 치료병동이 있다 하더라도 그 시설을 감당하지 못하고 많은 입원환자를 유치하지 못함으로 인하여 환자가 치료를 받기위해 상당기간 동안 대기하여야 한다. 최근 원자력의학원에서 기존 병실을 포함한 약 10개 병실을 보유하게 되어 대기 상태가 해소된 듯 보여 지지만 현재 국내에서 약 28개 병원에서만 총 57개의 방사성 동위원소 병실을 사용 하고 있어 아직 까지도 상당기간 치료를 위하여 대기하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 환자는 호르몬 조절시간이 장기화 되고 치료병실이 없는 의료기관에서는 최대 방사능 30mCi로 수차례에 걸쳐 시행하게 된다. 이는 환자, 가족, 지인 등에게 수회에 걸쳐 피폭을 주는 결과를 발생시킬 것이다. 또한 의료인 및 보건의료인이 환자 및 보호자에게 피폭에 대한 고지의무를 다한다 하더라도 환자를 비롯한 가족에게는 상당한 심적 부담감을 줄 수 있을 것이다. 그러므로 현재 3차 진료에 해당하는 병원 및 의료기관에서는 치료병실을 설치해야하는 필수 조건으로 의무화 하는 등 방사성동위원소 치료에 따른 시설 강화와 제도 개선의 노력이 있어야 할 것이다.
