Research Abstract |
1. Tritium-labeled compounds especially[ ^3H]thymidine stored in powdered form decomposed by 5% in 6 days, 20-30% in 170 days, and completely after 800 days. 2. [ ^<35>S]Methionine with stabilizers in aqueous solution decomposed to produce several volatile radioactive compounds including methyl mercaptane, methyl ethyl sulfide and ethyl propyl sulfide which were all characterized by means of HPLC. 3. For estimation of internal radiation exposure by tritium in the body, an improved collection method for THO in expiration was devised. 4. Relative values of RBE for THO and tritiated thymidine were determined by examining their effects on the intestine cells. The value for tritiated thymidine was larger than that for THO. 5. A tritium-contamination case was found for a radioisotope user and monitoring of his urine revealed that the chemical form of the intaken tritium was THO. It indicated that non-volatile tritium-labeled compounds may decompose to give THO and may be inhaled to cause internal radiation exposure. 6. Rapid excretion methods of the inhaled iodine were examined and the effect of perchlorate ion was confirmed. 7. Internal radiation exposure caused by positron emitters was estimated by a new method of out-of-body radiation measurement. 8. A simultaneous activity-determination procedure was devised for a sample containing ^3H, ^<14>C, ^<32>P, ^<35>S, ^<51>Cr and ^<125>I by means of a newly devised combustion flask.
