    Abstract The EPR spectra of irradiated maltose were obtained and compared to those of sucrose and glucose. In maltose anhydrite, the main radicals were produced from the cleavage of the glycoside bond at the C1 carbon with a carbonyl at the C2 carbon the same as those in sucrose. On the contrary, a carbonyl anion radical involving the proton hydrogen bonding to a water molecule was also observed in maltose monohydrate. The conformation of the carbonyl anion radical changed and became stable.

    Abstract UV-photolysis of hydrogen peroxide is a useful technique to produce hydroxyl radical. However, it is not an appropriate method to estimate the reactivity of polyphenols with hydroxyl radicals because many of the polyphenol derivatives also absorb the UV-light to generate hydroxyl radicals. In this study, X-ray irradiation of water with a flowing system was applied to estimate the reactivity of hydroxyl radicals with polyphenols using electron spin resonance (ESR) spin trap. The obtained relative reaction rates reasonably agreed with previous data by pulse radiolysis. This method will be a useful technique to estimate the reactivity of antioxidants including polyphenols with hydroxyl radicals.

    Abstract A silicon-based three-dimensional dosimeter can be formed in a free shape without a container and deformed because of its flexibility. Several studies have focused on enhancing its radiological characteristics and assessing its applicability as a quality assurance tool for image-guided and adaptive radiation therapy, considering motion and deformation. Here, we applied a fluorescence probe (dihydrorhodamine 6G, DHR6G) to a silicon elastomer as a new radiosensitive compound that converts nonfluorescent into fluorescent dyes using irradiation, and its fluorescence intensity increases linearly with the absorbed dose. In this study, we demonstrated a cost-effective synthesis method and optimized the composition conditions. The results showed that the DHR6G-SE prepared from 2.2 × 10

    Abstract The reaction of the hydroxy radical with thymidine and poly-hydroxy benzenes; i.e., catechol, resorcinol, hydroquinone, and pyrogallol, was studied by ESR spin trapping combined with the UV-A photolysis of hydrogen peroxide. The obtained relative reaction rates reasonably agreed with those previously obtained by pulse radiolysis. Electron distribution in the HOMO obtained by DFT calculations also supports the resulting order of reactivity of the polyphenols.

    Abstract The radiation-induced polymerization of styrene with maleimide was studied in methanol, ethanol, and 2-propanol solutions by irradiation of electrons, protons, He and C-ions. The polymer yield increased in the order methanol, ethanol, and 2-propanol, depending on the reactivity of the solvent radical to initiate the polymerization. Furthermore, the effect of the specific energy of the ions was observed in the methanol and ethanol solutions by ion irradiation at the dose rate of 20nA. Not only the radical distribution depending on the LET value or dose rate, but also the reactivity of the solvent radical to initiate the polymerization will influence the polymer yield and the distribution of the molecular weight.

    Abstract N₂-saturated 2-propanol solutions containing styrene and maleimide were irradiated by electron, proton, He and C-ion beams. The styrene–maleimide copolymer was produced by radical polymerization induced during irradiation. The effects of the radical distribution, which depends on the LET or dose rate, on the molecular weight and the polymer yield were discussed.

    Abstract It has been reported that angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) improves proteinuria in diabetic patients. However, whether this is a direct effect of ARB or through lowering blood pressure is still controversial. The aim of this study is to determine the direct effect of ARB on diabetic nephropathy. Thirty-four type 2 diabetic patients with early kidney damage were divided into two groups: losartan group (n=17) and control group (n=17). In losartan group, low dose (25mg) of losartan was administered once daily for a year. Blood pressure at home, blood pressure at office and urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR) were measured before and during the treatment. After a 1-year observation, the increment of UACR was significantly smaller in losartan group than that in control group [-23.8+/-13.7 mg/gCr vs. 15.9+/-13.2mg/gCr, mean+/-S.E.M., P=0.0114]. Mean blood pressure levels did not change before and during the observation period both in losartan group and control group, though only systolic blood pressure at home decreased slightly but significantly. There were no significant differences in the levels of HbA(1c), fasting plasma glucose, total cholesterol, triglyceride and body mass index between the two groups. The observed decrease in UACR in the losartan-treated group might be attributed to a direct renoprotective action in addition to a subtle decrease in systolic blood pressure at home.
