프로폴리스는 꿀벌에 의해 생산되는 천연물질로서, 항미생물, 항산화, 항암 활성이 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 프로폴리스에 의한 방사선 방어효과에 대한 특성은 잘 연구되지 않았다. 마우스 정소조직을 대상으로 프로폴리스에 의한 방사선 방어효과를 연구하기 위하여, 프로폴리스를 섭식시키거나 복강 투여한 후 각각 방사선을 조사한 후, 마우스의 정소조직을 광학현미경과 전자현미경을 통해 관찰하였다. 그 결과 방사선에 의해 유도된 세포의 변형이 프로폴리스에 의해 회복됨을 알 수 있었다. 또한 이러한 방사선 회복 효과의 분자기전을 이해하고자 DNA microarray 실험을 수행하였다. 그 결과 방사선만 조사한 마우스에 비해 방사선과 프로폴리스를 동시에 처리한 마우스의 정소에서 2배 이상 증가되는 유전자 65개를 선별하였고, 반대로 2배 이상 감소되는 유전자 진4개를 선별하였다. 이중에서 각각의 유전자군에서 2개의 유전자를 선별하여 RT-PCR을 수행하여 마이크로어레이 결과를 검증하였다. 이러한 결과들은 마우스 모델에서 프로폴리스에 의한 방사선 방어효과의 분자기전을 이해하는데 도움이 될 것으로 기대된다. The propolis is natural product produced by honeybees and is known to have many biologically useful properties such as anti-microbial, anti-oxidative and anti-tumorigenic activity. However, its radio-protective property has not been well studied. To investigate radio-protective effect of propolis on mouse testis, mice were supplemented with propolis after 5 Gy irradiation. The histological changes of testis were detected by TEM. The results indicate that propolis may protect tissue deformation which is induced by 5 Gy of ionizing radiation. Furthermore, to elucidate the potential molecular mechanisms involved in radio-protective property of propolis, we performed microarray experiments using oligo DNA microarray. We found 65 up-regulated genes and 224 down-regulated genes, whose expression levels were affected more than 2-fold by propolis treatment in mice irradiated at 5 Gy. We confirmed microarray data with reverse transcription-PCR using gene specific primers. The results of RT-PCR are highly correlated with those of microarray. These results may help understanding molecular mechanisms of radioprotective effects by propolis in mouse model.

Mitochondria was observed much around the nuclear membrane of liver tissue where the energy metabolism process is active. Testis tissue had a large number of undifferentiated cells, and cristae in Inner membrane of Mitochondria was not observed clearly. Morphological damage occurred first in Inner membrane rather than the outer membrane. The kidney tissue was clearly observed in the form of cristae. Radiation-induced damage occurred at the edges of both ends, and the membrane was observed bursting with the thickness of the outer membrane. Small intestine cells were observed in many mitochondria in the tissues around the villus, where bowel movements were active. Morphological damage occurred with the outer and inner membranes getting tangled. Mitochondria sensitivity to radiation was sensitized in testis and small intestine tissues, and kidney, ovary and liver tissues were found to be resistant.

방사선 선량이 생체 내 조직에서 미량원소에 미치는 영향

지태정(Tae-Jeong Ji),곽병준(Byung-Joon Kwak) 한국콘텐츠학회 2011 한국콘텐츠학회논문지 Vol.11 No.8

방사선에너지가 생체에 미치는 영향 중 물질대사에 관여하는 미량원소의 함량을 알아보았다. 실험 방법은 mouse에 1Gy, 5Gy, 10Gy의 X선을 전신 조사한 후 간 조직에서 분석하였다. 그 결과, 일부 원소에서 대조군과 비교하여 함량 변화가 확인되었다. 선량에 따른 변화에서는 1Gy에서는 크게 차이를 보이지 않았으나 5Gy, 10Gy의 높은 선량에서는 Ca, Mn의 함량이 감소되었다. 그 중 Ca의 함량이 가장 많이 감소되었으며, 근육 긴장과 만성 두통 등의 증후군을 유발하는 것으로 판단된다. 함량 증가를 보인 원소는 Al으로 100% 증가된 것으로 조사되었다. 방사선 조사 후 기간 경과에 따른 함량 변화에서는 Fe, Ba 등에서 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 유해원소는 Cd 함량이 25% 증가 되었는데 이는 칼슘대사에 관여하는 것으로 알려졌다. 따라서 방사선에너지에 의한 세포 손상이 미량원소 함량 변화에 영향을 주는 것으로 판단되며, 전구증상을 유발하는데 일정부분 관련이 있는 것으로 사료된다. We looked into the content change of microelements participating in the metabolism among the impacts of radiation energy on living bodies. We irradiated X-rays of 1 Gy, 5 Gy and 10 Gy to the whole bodies of mice, and then analyzed the liver tissues. We found that the microelement content had changed in some elements compared with the control group. When it came to changes by radiation dose, there was no significant change with the absorbed level of 1 Gy, but the higher absorbed levels of 5 Gy and 10 Gy reduced the content of Ca and Mn. In particular, the Ca content was reduced the most, apparently causing symptoms such as muscle tension and chronic headache, etc. The increased element was Al, which was found to have increased by 100%. In regard to the content change according to the time elapsed after irradiation, the contents of Fe, Ba, etc. showed the tendency of reduction. The content of Cd, a harmful element, increased by 25%, and it seemed that the element was involved in the calcium metabolism. Therefore, cell damage by radiation energy is determined to have an impact on the content change of microelements and considered to be partly related to a cause of precursor symptoms.

Oogenesis process of ovary produces a lot of undifferentiated cells. Especially, the radiation exposure of early immature cells in the process of growth to oocyte causes serious disabilities. This study examined the radiation damage mechanism of undifferentiated cells and organelles in oogenesis process, and the radioprotection after injection of alliin. The ultrastructure after 7Gy X-ray irradiation on the white rat was observed in the experiment. The results is as follows. It was observed that the nucleus membrane of an oogonium was damaged and vacuolated in the several parts after 15 days of irradiation. The damage of mitochondria membrane and flow in cytoplasm after 20 and 30 days was found in the oogonium. After 40 days observation, peroxidation of fat droplets was found and organelles were tangled each other in ovary tissue. The partial damage of nuclear membrane in oogonium past 15 days after injection of alliin was found, but decreased remarkably. Mitochondria, Golgi body, and rough endoplasmic reticulum were also clearly observed, therefore, radioprotection effects in alliin was confirmed partially.

선형가속기를 이용한 X-선 5Gy를 마우스 모델에 전신 조사 후 백혈구, 적혈구, 혈소판을 주사전자현미경으로 관찰하였다. 또한 프로폴리스를 복강 주사 후 혈구들의 방사선 방어효과를 알아보았다. 혈구의 미세구조 관찰에서는 외관상 방사선 조사한 실험군에서 수가 줄어들었으며, 조사 후 10일에서 20일로 경과함에 따라 혈구의 엉김이 관찰되었다. 적혈구에서는 표면이 균열이 생기고 깨어진 형태와 변성구상적혈구들이 관찰되었다. 백혈구는 방사선조사군에서 혈구의 크기가 줄어들었으며, 가장자리 미융모들의 크기와 수가 대조군 보다 작은 것으로 관찰되었다. 프로폴리스 투여 후 방사선 조사군에서는 혈구들이 대조군과 유사한 형태로 확인되었다. After x-ray 5Gy radiation on the whole body of a mouse using a linear accelerator, its leucocyte, erythrocyte, and platelet were observed by SEM. Also, after injecting propolis into the abdominal cavity, the radio-protective effect of blood corpuscles was studied. The observation of micromorphology in blood corpuscles revealed that the number of leukocyte, erythrocyte, and thrombocyte decreased in the experimental group and the lump got together in blood corpuscles after 10 and 20 days. In RBC, crack or break on the surface and poikilosperocytes were observed. In the irradiation group, the size of leucocytes was smaller than that in control group and the number of villus at the verge substantially decreased. The blood corpuscles in the propolis group, however, had the similar results to control group.

본 연구는 국가환경방사선 자동감시망이 설치되지 않은 국립공원의 산악 지역을 대상으로 환경방사선을 측정하였다. 측정 방법은 지표 1m 높이에서 공간선량과 지표면에서의 지표선량을 측정하였다. 국립공원 선정은 중부지역과 남부지역을 같은 분포로 하여 전국에 10곳을 선정하였다. 측정장비는 감마선측정에 활용되는 INTERCEPTOR™(Thermo, USA, 2006)를 사용하였다. 방사선측정은 국립공원 입구와 정상에서는 필수적으로 측정하였고, 그 외 지점은 해발 고도를 500m 단위로 구분하여 탐방객이 많이 다니는 곳에서 측정하였다. 측정횟수는 각 지점에서 2분간 장비를 안정시킨 후 5회 이상 측정하였다. 측정결과, 공간감마선량의 경우 1,000m 이하 국립공원에서는 해발 고도 500m 지점에서 높은 선량이 측정되었다. 그 중 북한산, 계룡산, 월출산에서 0.23μ㏜h?¹ 이상인 것으로 확인되었다. 1,000m 이상의 국립공원에서는 설악산 1,500m지점에서 1.77μ㏜h?¹로 측정되어 백그라운드 기준 선량보다 10배 이상 증가하였다. 선량에 유의한 변화를 보이지 않은 국립공원은 내장산, 소백산, 지리산으로 확인되었다. 환경방사선량이 낮게 측정된 산은 가야산정상(1,430m)에서 0.04μ㏜h?¹, 한라산 정상(1,950m)에서 0.03μ㏜h?¹인 것으로 확인되었다. 지표선량 측정에서도 중간 높이인 500m, 1,000m에서 높게 측정되었다. 지각 구성물질의 종류에 따른 측정에서는 암석으로 구성된 국립공원에서 높은 선량으로 조사되었으며, 화산활동이 일어났던 한라산에서는 환경방사선량이 낮게 측정되었다. This study set put to measure the environmental radiation for mountainous regions of National Parks where Integrated Environmental Radiation Monitoring Network is not installed. For the measurement method, the space dose was classified at 1 meter high from the surface and the index dose at the surface. The measured radiation energy measured gamma, alpha and beta rays. For selection of national parks, we selected 10 national parks which are within the same distribution in the southern part and central part of the nation. For measurement equipment, INTERCEPTOR™(Thermo, USA, 2006) was used for gamma rays. As for the results of the measurements, for the space gamma dose, a high level was measured at a sea level of 500 meter in national parks with an altitude of less than 1,000 meter. It was found that the value was more than 0.23μ㏜h?¹ especially in Bukhan Mountain, Gyeryong Mountain and Wolchul Mountain. In national parks with an altitude of more than 1,000 meter, 1.77μ㏜h?¹ was measured at 1,500 meter at Seorak Mountain. Therefore, this is 10 times greater than the background standard dose. The national parks were there were no significant changes in dose were Naejang Mountain, Sobaek and Jiri Mountains. For the measurement of the index dose, a high dose level was measured at middle altitudes of 500 meter and 1,000 meter. For measurement according to the composition types of crust, high doses were recorded at national parks composed of rocks and a lower environmental radiation level was measured at Hanra Mountain where volcanic activities have occurred.

In this study, the space gamma dose rates in the apartments structured with concrete were measured in accordance with construction year. In addition, the environmental radiation rates coming from the subway platforms and the road tunnels were analyzed in the equivalent dose by multiplying the absorbed dose with the radiation weighting factors. The space gamma dose rates measured in apartments were higher than those of outdoor which was 0.08~0.11uSv/h in the natural conditions. Especially, the older construction year is, the higher becomes space gamma dose rate. The average gamma dose rates in the subway platforms were measured. In the case of Busan and Daegu subway, the earlier the opening year is, the higher becomes dose rate. However, the dose rates of Seoul subway Lines were high overall, regardless of opening year. Seoul subway Line 6 showed the highest value of 0.21uSv/h. The gamma dose rate in road tunnels was higher than one of the outdoor and increased with opening year like as apartment. In dose rate comparison of the concrete structures with the outdoor, therefore, the space gamma dose rate of indoor is higher than one of the outdoor and the older structures have a higher dose rate.
