均匀磁场下碳离子笔形束的剂量变化分析及位置修正方法

分析外加均匀磁场对于碳离子笔形束剂量分布的影响,并考虑修正这种影响,为磁共振成像引导碳离子放射治疗的临床应用提供指导。本文利用蒙特卡罗方法模拟计算了不同能量碳离子笔形束在不同强度磁场下的剂量分布情况,发现垂直于碳离子束入射方向的均匀磁场对于碳离子笔形束射程缩短的影响很小,磁场对碳离子束的主要影响是引起束流横向偏转,特别是碳离子束布拉格峰位置的横向侧移。横向侧移程度与碳离子束的能量和磁场强度相关,根据模拟结果,得到了一个计算碳离子束布拉格峰在磁场中相对横向偏转的方程,并提出一种校正外加磁场引起的碳离子束布拉格峰横移的角度修正方法。这些结果可用于指导磁共振图像引导碳离子放射治疗计划系统的研发。     

均匀磁场下碳离子束剂量平均LET及纳剂量学量的分布

随着磁共振成像(MRI)技术的发展,图像引导放射治疗在放射肿瘤学中的作用和重要性正在迅速增加,本研究分析了外加均匀磁场对碳离子束的剂量平均LET以及纳剂量学量的影响。通过基于GEANT4内核的GATE蒙特卡罗(Monte Carlo, MC)模拟平台,模拟计算了不同磁场环境下,不同能量碳离子束剂量平均LET和纳剂量学量的分布。结果发现,平行磁场对碳离子束的剂量平均LET和纳剂量学量均无显著影响,垂直磁场对碳离子束的剂量平均LET及纳剂量学量的影响主要集中在布拉格峰区域,其影响主要是碳离子束在磁场中受到洛伦兹力作用而发生横向偏转,进而使得碳离子束布拉格峰位置发生横向侧移导致的。这些结果为进一步研究磁场对碳离子束治疗性能的影响打下了坚实的基础。

碳离子治疗中分野照射技术的Monte Carlo模拟

为阐述分野照射治疗方式应用于中国科学院近代物理研究所(IMP) 肿瘤重离子临床治疗试验研究的理论基础,利用Monte Carlo (MC) 软件包Gate/Geant4 模拟计算了碳离子束分野照射分衔接处的横向剂量分布,得到了患者摆位误差±1.0 mm范围内的横向剂量分布和分野衔接处中心剂量随分野间距的变化关系,计算了分野间距5.0 mm的横向剂量分布。将分野间距5.0 mm的分野照射与整野照射的MC结果进行比较,发现:在靶区范围内两者模拟的剂量偏差在6.8% 以内,符合程度较好,并提出了在患者定位精确度较高的情况下(即患者治疗体位摆位误差在±1.0 mm范围) 解决分野衔接处剂量热点问题的可行方法,从而较大幅度地提高了分野照射时靶区范围内的剂量均匀性。To characterize the theoretical basis of eld patching technique in carbon ion beam therapy, Monte Carlo software package Gate/Geant4 was used to simulate the lateral dose distribution of matched elds. The lateral dose distribution of the matched elds within 1.0 millimeter of patient positioning error and the relationship between the central dose of the matched elds and the eld patching gap were obtained. Moreover, the lateral dose pro le of eld patching irradiation with 5.0 mm gap was simulated. While comparing the lateral dose distribution of eld patching irradiation with 5.0 mm gap with the undivided eld irradiation, a good agreement between both results with a maximum dose deviation of 6.8% was observed within the target volume.Hence a feasible method for solving the issue of dose hotspots during eld patching under the condition of higher patient positioning accuracies (patient positioning error within 1.0 millimeter) was proposed and the dose homogeneit within the target volume could be greatly improved when eld patching technique is adopted in carbon ion beam therapy.

大分割碳离子放射治疗中相对生物学效应与剂量依赖关系的研究

应用碳离子束进行大分割放射治疗从而缩短治疗周期是碳离子束治疗的优势之一。为研究大分割放疗增加单次照射剂量后,碳离子束相对生物学效应（RBE）的变化,应用细胞存活线性平方（LQ）模型推导出RBE与剂量的依赖关系。基于此关系研究了具有不同辐射敏感性的肿瘤细胞和正常组织细胞RBE随剂量的变化。结果表明,在0~20 Gy范围内,不论肿瘤细胞与正常组织细胞具有怎样的辐射敏感性,肿瘤细胞的RBE值始终大于正常组织细胞。此外,基于理论推导和对相关实验数据的分析,证实了RBE随剂量增加而递增现象的存在。这些结果对应用碳离子束进行大分割放射治疗具有重要的指导作用。Short treatment course due to the suitability of hypofractionated regimen for carbon ion beam is one of the advantages of carbon ion radiotherapy. To study the dependence of relative biological effectiveness (RBE) on dose, the relationship between RBE and dose was deduced through the linear-quadratic (LQ) model. Based on the relationship, the change of RBE of tumor cells and normal tissue cells with different radiosensitivities with dose was studied. The results showed that the RBE value of tumor cells was always greater than that of normal tissue cells in the dose range of 0~20 Gy, regardless of the radiosensitivity of tumor and normal tissue cells. In addition, based on theoretical deduction and analysis of the relevant experimental data, the existence of RBE increase with increasing dose was verified. These results are of great significance for conducting hypofractionated radiotherapy with carbon ion beam.     

Formation of Nanostructured Carbon Layers on the Surface of Chlorinated Polymers under High-Power Ion Beam Irradiation

A comparative study of the effect of a high-power ion beam of nanosecond duration on layers of reactive industrial chlorinated polymers (chlorinated polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl chloride) containing a catalytic additive (ferrocene) is carried out. The formation of amorphous carbon nanofiber layers on the surface of chlorinated polymers is revealed. The characteristic diameter and length of nanofibers depends on the type of polymer and irradiation mode and is equal to 30–250 nm and 10 μm, respectively. The growth rate of carbon nanofibers is estimated. Its value might reach ~160 μm/μs. A possible mechanism for carbon nanofiber formation on the surface of chlorinated polymers with the addition of ferrocene under high-power ion beam irradiation is discussed.     

碳离子辐射诱导秀丽隐杆线虫生殖细胞凋亡研究

重离子辐射具有独特的深度剂量分布和较高的相对生物学效应,被认为是理想的放疗手段。重离子的生物学效应在径迹形成过程中由多个物理参量共同决定,而这些物理参量和离子入射深度紧密相关,因此明确离子不同入射深度的生物学效应对重离子肿瘤放疗方案的设计和优化有着重要的理论和应用价值。使用兰州重离子研究装置HIRFL-CSRe 终端的碳离子束作为辐射源,以活体模式动物线虫作为实验对象,以线虫生殖细胞的凋亡水平作为生物学检测终点,研究了10 和20 Gy 碳离子辐射在辐射的入口、坪区和峰区的当代生物学效应和对后代个体基因组不稳定性的影响。结果表明:10 和20 Gy 碳离子辐射在三个不同的辐照区域内均显著增加了辐射当代的线虫生殖腺细胞的凋亡水平,并表现出一定的辐射区域和辐射剂量依赖性。同时,辐射诱导的后代个体基因组不稳定性也表现出一定的辐射区域和辐射剂量相关性。Heavy ion irradiation is a perfect means in radio-therapy due to its special depth dose distribution and high relative biological effects. The biological effects of heavy ion irradiation are determined by some major physical parameters, and vary along the tracks of heavy ions. Therefore, it is very significant for the tumor radio-therapy to investigate the biological effects along whole range of heavy ion radiation. In the present study, Caenorhabditis elegans, a model in vivo, was irradiated by carbon ion beams from HCRFL-CSRe, The level of germ cell apoptosis of worms was used as a checking endpoint for DNA damage, the effects of carbon irradiation located in the entrance, plateau and peak regions on the genomic instability of the irradiated worm and their progeny were detected. The results showed that the 10 and 20 Gy of carbon ion radiations led to the increased germ cell apoptosis in irradiated worms and these effects depend on the worm location along the range of carbon ions and the irradiation dosage. The results also suggested that heavy ion irradiation induced the up-regulated genomic instability in their progeny, and might be related to both the irradiation dose and the irradiated location.     

不同LET碳离子束辐照拟南芥干种子的当代损伤效应

本研究以拟南芥（Columbia野生型）干种子为材料,利用兰州重离子研究装置（HIRFL）产生的碳离子束对材料进行辐射处理,统计其存活率、根长、下胚轴长及每果荚种子数,以探讨不同传能线密度（Linear Energy Transfer,LET）的碳离子束辐照对拟南芥当代损伤效应的影响。结果表明,在相同LET辐射条件下,随着辐射剂量的增大,拟南芥的存活率、根长、下胚轴长度、每果荚种子数都呈现下降趋势。在相同剂量不同LET辐射处理情况下,随着LET的增大,存活率、根长、下胚轴长、每果荚种子数都显著下降,可见高LET辐射严重抑制了拟南芥的生长和发育。研究表明,当LET为50 keV/μm时,碳离子束辐射拟南芥干种子对应的最佳诱变剂量为200 Gy,为后续开展碳离子束辐射的诱变效率研究奠定了前期基础。Aimed to study the biological effects of carbon ion beams with different linear energy transfer (LET) values provided by Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou (HIRFL), dry seeds of Arabidopsis thaliana (Columbia-WT) were irradiated and a series of biological effects of postembryonic development, such as survival rate, primary root length, hypocotyls length and number of seeds per silique, were investigated. The results showed that, under the radiation condition of the same LET value, the survival rate, root length, hypocotyls length and number of seeds per silique were decreased with the increasing dose. In addition, under the radiation conditions with different LET values, but same dose, the extent of the decline of the survival rate, root length, hypocotyls length and number of seeds per silique were reinforced with the increasing LET. It was also found that high LET radiations inhibited the subsequent growth and development of Arabidopsis thaliana severely. In brief, it was suggested that the optimum dose of carbon ion beam with 50 keV/μm value on Arabidopsis thaliana dry seeds was 200 Gy. This research complemented the preliminary theoretical foundation for the comparative study of the highest mutation efficiency of carbon ion beam irradiations at IMP, CAS(Institute of Modern Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences).

The application of Fast High Voltage Transistor Switches (HTS) in pulsed ion beam and the time of flight(TOF ) setup is described. Secondary ion emissions from carbon nanotubes under bombardments of MeV Si and Si2 clusters are measured by using TOF. The measurements indicate that the yield of the secondary ion emissions of hydrogen increases with increasing energy of Si and it is attributed to the electronic processes. The yield of the secondary ions of hydrogen decreases with increasing energy of Si2 clusters and the enhancement of nuclear energy loss of cluster constituents at the surface of sample plays a more significant role in the secondary ion emission of hydrogen at the low energies.

硼胁迫下不同柑橘砧木叶片物质组成及结构的FTIR表征

硼作为高等植物必需的微量元素,从缺乏到过量的范围很窄,因此缺硼和硼毒害导致作物产量及品质下降等问题一直是国内外关注的重点。以不同柑橘砧木(枳橙和枳壳)为材料,利用傅里叶红外光谱(FTIR)探讨低硼及高硼胁迫对不同砧木叶片物质组成和结构的影响及其差异。结果表明：(1)低硼及高硼胁迫均抑制了柑橘砧木地上部的生长,高硼时枳壳砧木叶片出现典型的硼中毒现象,而枳橙砧木叶片则无明显的硼毒症状,表明枳橙砧木比枳壳砧木更耐高硼胁迫;(2)低硼胁迫时,枳壳砧木叶片缺失1 153,1 053和1 028 cm-1三个特征峰,而枳橙砧木叶片仅缺失1 055 cm-1一个特征峰,且两种砧木叶片其他特征峰的相对吸光度较正常硼处理整体增加,表明缺硼导致枳壳砧木叶片纤维素糖苷及可溶性糖、核糖的结构发生变化且含量增加,仅改变枳橙砧木叶片可溶性糖的结构。因此,低硼胁迫对枳壳砧木影响大于枳橙砧木;(3)高硼胁迫时,枳壳砧木叶片1 153和1 053 cm-1两个特征峰消失,增加1 622 cm-1处特征峰;枳橙砧木叶片缺失1 024 cm-1处特征峰,且其他特征峰的相对吸光度较正常处理整体降低,表明高硼改变枳壳砧木蛋白质、可溶性糖等碳水化合物的结构且含量减少,而枳橙砧木仅核糖的结构发生变化,说明高硼对枳壳砧木叶片多糖结构的影响大于枳橙砧木。因此,枳橙砧木比枳壳砧木更耐低硼和高硼胁迫,硼对不同砧木物质组成和结构的效应差异是其中一个关键因子。     

On the Determination of Spin-Parity of Elementary Particles Produced in Collisions of Polarized Particles

In this paper we adopt Peshkin's “maximum complexity method” for reactions 0 + 1/2 → j + s, γ + 0 → j + 0 with polarized initial particles. The produced particles undergo the decays s → 0 + 1/2, and j decays strongly into 0 + 0 + 0. Study of certain correlations in such processes allows to determine the spins of the produced particles. Because the spin of the X° (960) meson is not firmly established we apply the general results obtained to the reactions: K?p → X° Δ, πp → X°N^★, _γHe → X°He.
