KCCH cyclotron neutron(30cCy/min) 및 $^{60}Co;{gamma}-ray(210cGy/min)$를 시험관내의 정상인체 말초혈액임파구에 조사하여 염색체이상(dicentric 및 centric ring)을 관찰하고 이의 선량-반응관계식을 linear model$(Y=K_1D+a)$, power-law model$(Y=K_2D^n)$, quadratic model$(Y=K_3D^2)$ 및 linear-quadratic model$(Y={alpha}D+{eta}D^2)$을 사용하여 구하고 이들 model중 염색체이상의 측정치와 가장 일치하는 관계식을 근거로 하여 ${gamma}-ray$에 대한 neutron의 relative biological effectiveness (RBE)를 산출하였다. 염색체 이상(dicentric plus centric ring)의 발생분포는 ${gamma}-ray$의 경우 linear model(P=0.067)을 제외한 power-law model$[Y=(5.81{pm}1.96){ imes}10^6D^{1.93+0.06},;P=0.931]$, quadratic model$[Y=(3.91{pm}0.09){ imes}10^{-6}D^2,;P=0.972]$ 및 linear-quadratic model $[Y=(6.55{pm}6.83){ imes}10^{-5}D+(3.72{pm}0.22){ imes}10^{-6}D^2$ P=0.922]에 적합하였다 neutron의 경우 linear model $(Y=(6.12{pm}0.17){ imes}10^{-3};D-0.22,;P=0.987]$에 가장 일치하였고 quadratic model (P<0.005)을 제외한 power-law model $[Y=(5.36{pm}3.02) { imes}10^{-4}D^{1.42+0.11},;P=0.601]$ 및 linear-quadratic model $[Y=(2.43{pm}0.70){ imes}10^{-3}D+(1.21{pm}0.39){ imes}10^{-7}D^2,;P=0.415]$에 비교적 적합하였다. 세포당 0.1-1.5개의 염색체이상을 나타내는 neutron의 ${gamma}-ray$에 대한 RBE는 $2.714{pm}0.408$이었다.
The frequencies of KCCH cyclotron neutron (30 cGy/min) or $^{60}Co;{gamma}-rays$ (210 cGy/min)-induced asymmetrical interchanges (dicentrics and centric rings) and acentric fragments (deletion) at several doses were measured in the normal human peripheral blood lymphocytes Chromosome aberrations were scored at the first nitosis after stimulation with phytohemagglutinin. The neutron and y-ray data were analysed on linear, power-law, quadratic and linear-quadratic model . When the dicentrics and centric rings of ${gamma}-rays$ datas were pooled and fitted to these model, good fits were obtained to power-law $[Y=(5.81{pm}1.96){ imes}10^6D^{1.93+0.06},; P=0.931]$, quadratic $[Y=(3.91{pm}0.09){ imes}10^{-6}D^2,;P=0.972]$ an linear-Quadrati model $[Y=(6.55{pm}6.83){ imes}10^{-5}D+(3.72{pm}0.22){ imes}10^{-6}D^2; P=0.922]$, except for linear model (P=0.067) As in the case of neutron data, the best fit was obtained to the linear model $(Y=(6.12{pm}0.17){ imes}10^{-3};D-0.22,;P=0.987]$ and good fits were obtained to power-law$[Y=(5.36{pm}3.02) { imes}10^{-4}D^{1.42+0.11},; P=0.601]$ and linear-quadratic model$[Y=(2.43{pm}0.70){ imes}10^{-3}D+(1.21{pm}0.39){ imes}10^{-7}D^2$, ;P=0.415], except for quadratic model (P<0.005). The relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of neutron compared with y-ray was estimated by best fitting model. In the asymmetrical interchanges range between 0.1 and 1.5 per cell, the RBE was found to be $2.714{pm}0.408$.
