本発表では、2011年の福島第一原子力発電所事故で放出された放射性セシウム含有微粒子(CsMP)中のセシウムの化学状態を、高分解能X線吸収分光法(XANES)とマイクロX線蛍光($$mu$$-XRF)を用いて解析した。その結果、主にガラス中に溶解したセシウムと、内部空隙表面に濃縮したセシウムの2種が確認された。後者はもともと気体として存在し、溶けたガラスが冷えて固まる際に濃縮したと考えられる。これらの知見は、事故時のCsMP形成過程や今後の廃炉作業、安全評価に重要である。

希土類元素は放射性元素であるアクチノイドのアナログ元素としてしばしば利用される。セリウム(Ce)は希土類元素の中でも+3価と+4価の両方をとり得る特別な元素である。環境試料中のCeの+3価と+4価の比を調べる手段としてX線吸収端近傍構造(XANES)が有力であったが、チタン濃度が高いと蛍光X線の干渉のために測定ができないという問題があった。本研究では、L$$_{3}$$吸収端だけでなくL$$_{2}$$吸収端を調べ、さらに新しい検出器であるtransition-edge sensor (TES)を利用することでこれまでは測定が難しかった試料も測定可能にした。この結果は様々な環境試料に応用可能である。

Nanohybrid materials comprising polyoxometalates (POMs) and nanocarbons have attracted considerable attention as electrode-active materials for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). These materials exhibit multi-electron redox reactions, resulting in an improved battery capacity. This study focuses on carbon nanohorns (CNHs) as a nanocarbon material and evaluates the battery performance using POM/CNH hybrids as cathode-active materials. X-ray absorption fine structural analysis was performed to investigate the reaction mechanism of these hybrids. POM/oxidized CNH (CNHox) hybrid materials maintain high capacities at high current densities as the high surface area availability of CNHox leads to high electrical double-layer capacitances. These findings show an improved performance of the as-developed material when compared with those reported in previous papers and can contribute toward an improved design of cathode-active materials for high-performance supercapacitors.

Platinum group metal-free catalysts based on transition metal-nitrogen-carbon nanomaterials have been studied by a combination of in situ X-ray spectroscopy techniques, high-resolution transmission electron microscope, M$"o$ssbauer spectroscopy, electrochemical methods and density functional theory. Fe-N-C oxygen reduction reaction electrocatalysts were synthesized by varying several synthetic parameters to obtain nanomaterials with different composition and morphology. Associated with Fe-N$$_x$$ motive and the presence of Fe metallic particles in the electrocatalysts showed the clear differences in the variation of composition; processing and treatment conditions of sacrificial support method. From the results of material characterization; catalytic activity and theoretical studies; Fe metallic particles (coated with carbon) are main contributors into the HO$$_{2}$$$$^{-}$$ generation.

オージェ放出核種を用いた放射線治療は、高い治療効果と低い正常組織反応を期待できる。本研究では、オージェ放出核種$$^{125}$$Iと$$beta$$線放出核種$$^{131}$$Iを2次元と3次元の培養細胞に取り込ませて、その細胞致死率を測定した。また、粒子・重イオン輸送計算コードPHITSを用いて、各条件に対する細胞の吸収線量分布を精度よく計算し、細胞生存率と吸収線量の関係について評価した。その結果、$$^{125}$$I治療は$$^{131}$$I治療と比較して、2次元培養細胞の場合はほぼ同程度の効果が得られるが、3次元培養細胞の場合は治療効果が低いことが分かった。これは、クロスファイア効果と呼ばれる一本の$$beta$$線が複数の細胞をヒットする効果と、薬剤が培養細胞内に均一に分布しない効果に起因すると考えられる。

A method combining cyclic voltammetry (CV) with X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy, viz. CV-XAFS, has been developed to enable in situ real-time investigation of atomic and electronic structures related to electrochemical reactions. We use this method to study the reaction of a Pt/C cathode catalyst in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in an alkaline electrolyte. It was found that the current induced by the ORR was first observed at approximately 0.08 V versus Hg/HgO, although the Pt valence remained almost unchanged. The electronic structure of the catalytic surface in the ORR was observed to be different in the negative and positive scan directions of CV measurements. Hydrogen adsorption is also discussed on the basis of the observation of this spectral change. We have demonstrated that CV-XAFS provides dynamical structural and electronic information related to electrochemical reactions and can be used for in situ real-time measurements of a catalyst.

NiO/ Nb$$_{2}$$O$$_{5}$$/C (8:1), (4:1), (2:1), NiO/C, and Ni/C catalysts for hydrazine electrooxidation were synthesized by an evaporation drying method followed by thermal annealing. Prepared catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), high-angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS), and X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS). The highest catalytic activity in mentioned above reactionwas found for Ni/C, followed by: NiO/Nb$$_{2}$$O$$_{5}$$/C (8:1), NiO/Nb$$_{2}$$O$$_{5}$$/C (4:1). NiO/Nb$$_{2}$$O$$_{5}$$/C (2:1) whiles NiO/C has almost no activity for hydrazine oxidation. It was explained by oxygen defect of NiO in NiO/ Nb$$_{2}$$O$$_{5}$$/C from XAFS analysis. The selectivity hydrazine electrooxidation as measured by ammonia production resulted in observation that metallic Ni surface facilitates N-N bond breaking of hydrazine, which was confirmed by density functional theory (DFT) calculations.

The catalytic process takes place on nickel oxide surface of a Ni oxide nano-particle decorated carbon support (NiO/C). In-situ X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy was used to investigate the reaction mechanism for hydrazine electrooxidation on NiO surface. The spectra of X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) of Ni K-edge indicated that adsorption of OH$$^{-}$$ on Ni site during the hydrazine electrooxidation reaction. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were used to elucidate and suggest the mechanism of the electrooxidation and specifically propose the localization of electron density from OH$$^{-}$$ to 3d orbital of Ni in NiO. It is found that the accessibility of Ni atomic sites in NiO structure is critical for hydrazine electrooxidation. Based on this study, we propose a possible reaction mechanism for selective hydrazine electrooxidation to water and nitrogen taking place on NiO surface as it is applicable to direct hydrazine alkaline membrane fuel cells.

炭素線治療中にその軌道上の生体組織内で発生する局所的密度減少は、ブラッグピーク位置のシフトを引き起こし、誤照射の原因となる。この密度減少を炭素線照射中に確認できれば、誤照射を軽減する対策が立てられる。そこで、重粒子線治療で発生する二次電子による制動輻射のうち、発生量が多く効率的測定が可能な低エネルギー光子(63-68keV)による生体内の局所的密度減少の検出方法を開発している。今回、空気間隙による密度減少の存在の検出が可能かどうかをPHITSコードを用いたモンテカルロシミュレーションにより次のように評価した。ビーム軸方向の長さが50mm、奥行き200mm、高さ200mmのアクリルブロック2個を、ビーム軸方向に10mmの間隙を設けて設置した。また、検出器として、幅2.4mmのスリットを持つ鉛製コリメータとテルル化カドミウム製の検出素子を組み合わせた。炭素線を照射した際にビーム軸に対して垂直方向に放出される63-68keVの光子を検出したところ、その検出量に明らかな増減が確認できた。この結果は、間隙の存在を十分検出することが可能であることを示す。

Radiolabeled amino acids are superior PET tracers for imaging of malignant tumors, and amino acids labeled with $$^{76}$$Br, an attractive positron emitter due to its relatively long half-life (t$$_{1/2}$$=16.2 h), could potentially be widely usable tumor imaging tracer. In this study, in consideration of stability and tumor specificity, 2-$$^{76}$$Br-bromo-$$alpha$$-methyl-L-phenylalanine (2-$$^{76}$$Br-BAMP) and 4-$$^{76}$$Br-bromo-$$alpha$$-methyl-L-phenylalanine (4-$$^{76}$$Br-BAMP) were designed and their potential as a tumor imaging agent was evaluated. No-carrier-added $$^{76}$$Br and $$^{77}$$Br, the latter of which is suitable radiobromine for basic studies due to its longer half-life (t$$_{1/2}$$ = 57.1 h), were produced. Both $$^{77}$$Br-BAMPs were stable in the plasma and in the murine body. In biodistribution studies, 2-$$^{77}$$Br-BAMP showed more rapid blood clearance and lower renal accumulation than did 4-$$^{77}$$Br-BAMP. More than 90% of injected radioactivity was excreted in the urine by 6 h post-injection of 2-$$^{77}$$Br-BAMP. High tumor accumulation of 2-$$^{77}$$Br-BAMP was observed in tumor-bearing mice and PET imaging with 2-$$^{76}$$Br-BAMP enabled clear visualization of the tumor. These findings suggest that 2-$$^{76}$$Br-BAMP would constitute a potential new PET tracer for tumor imaging and may eventually enable the wider use of amino acid tracers.

We investigated on the metabolic effectiveness of $$gamma$$ ray irradiation to seeds of ${it Rumex obtusifolius}$, which are known to accumulate high level of soluble oxalate, to lower oxalate accumulation in leaves. Reduced rate of germination, discoloration of cotyledons, and deformed true leaves were observed by elevated irradiation. Metabolome analysis of primary metabolites using capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry showed a decrease in oxalate contents in the leaves of plants from $$gamma$$ ray-irradiated seeds. Moreover, organic acids such as malate and 2-oxoglutarate also decreased, whereas amino acids such as glutamate and glutamine increased. These results indicated that seed irradiation by $$gamma$$ rays leads to dynamic changes in metabolic pathways as well as plant growth/development.

Capabillity tests of 3D imaging for medical applications were performed by using a new Compton camera. $$^{18}$$F, $$^{131}$$I and $$^{67}$$Ga separately compacted into micro tubes were injected subcutaneously into a Wister rat and imaged after sacrifice of the rat (ex-vivo model). In a separate experiment $$^{111}$$In-chloride and $$^{131}$$I-Methylnorcholestenol were injected into a rat intravenously and $$^{64}$$Cu was injected into the stomach orally just before imaging (more physiological model). The Compton camera demonstrated its 3D multinuclear imaging capability by separating out the three nuclear distributions clearly in ex-vivo model. In the more physiological model, the distributions of $$^{131}$$I and $$^{64}$$Cu were clearly imaged although $$^{111}$$In was difficult to visualize due to blurring at low energy region of $$gamma$$-ray. In conclusion, our new Compton camera successfully demonstrated highly resolved multiplanar and multinuclear $$gamma$$-ray simultaneous imaging.

Since D-amino acid is not distributed much in the non-target organs and is rapidly excreted in the urine, radiotracer using D-amino acid would allow clear PET image of the tumor early after administration. In this study, we prepared 3-[$$^{18}$$F]fluoro-$$alpha$$-methyl-D-tyrosine (D-[$$^{18}$$F]FAMT) and evaluated its usefulness. In biodistribution studies, D-[$$^{18}$$F]FAMT showed rapid clearance from the blood, marked accumulation and retention in the tumor and low accumulation in non-target organs. The amount of D-[$$^{18}$$F]FAMT in the tumor was also lowered, tumor-to-blood ratio and tumor-to-muscle ratio of D-[$$^{18}$$F]FAMT were similar to those of correspondign L-isomer, 3-[$$^{18}$$F]fluoro-$$alpha$$-methyl-L-tyrosine (L-[$$^{18}$$F]FAMT), at every timepoint. Consequently, PET imaging with D-[$$^{18}$$F]FAMT could not show clear image of the tumor early after the administration. However, D-[$$^{18}$$F]FAMT enabled higher tumor-to-background contrast than L-[$$^{18}$$F]FAMT. In conclusions, D-[$$^{18}$$F]FAMT showed rapid blood clearance, low accumulation in non-target organs, and tumor-selective image compared with L-[$$^{18}$$F]FAMT. Thus, D-[$$^{18}$$F]FAMT could potentially serve as a novel PET tracer for imaging malignant tumors.

Sansalvamide A (SA), a penta cyclic peptide isolated marine fungus, is a lead compound of anti-cancer reagent because the peptide has cytotoxicity against various cancer cell lines. Halogenated SA derivatives (SA-X, X = Cl, Br, I) was prepared and remarkable cytotocity against malignant human breast cancer. In this study, a radiohalogenated SA derivative [$$^{125}$$I]SA-I was prepared to conduct in vivo evaluation of SA derivatives. Synthetic scheme of [$$^{125}$$I]SA-I are as follows: an iodinated linear peptide, Boc-F(p-I)LLVL-OMe, was prepared by the conventional solid phase peptide synthesis. After preparation of stannylated peptide, Boc-F(p-SnBu$$_{3}$$)LLVL-OMe, $$^{125}$$I was labeled with electrophilic destannylation in the presence of oxidizing reagent. After deprotection of N- and C-termius, [$$^{125}$$I]SA-I was obtained successfully by macrocyclization in liquid phase. Overall labeled yield was 7%. To our best knowledge, this report is the first on the synthesis of radiolabeled SA derivative. In vivo evaluation of the SA derivative using [$$^{125}$$I]SA-I is being undertaken.

We studied a new method to monitor a beam range in heavy-ion radiation therapy on the basis of measurement of low energy photons emitted from a track of the ion beam. A 290 MeV/u carbon beam was injected into a cylindrical water phantom. A CdTe semiconductor detector with a lead slit having a width of 2 mm was placed at a side of the phantom. In order to measure the position dependence of the low energy photon count, the beam range was varied by changing the energy of injected ions using a binary energy degrader placed about 100 cm upstream of the beam focal point. The measured photon count decreased when the detector got closer to the end point of the beam range and the derivative of the photon count values sharply changed within a depth variation of a few mm in front of the range position. This was explained by our theoretical study assuming secondary electron bremsstrahlung. These results indicate that this new method could be useful to estimate the range position from the observation of bremsstrahlung with an accuracy of a few mm.

A Monte Carlo simulation system was developed to estimate the response of Compton camera against $$gamma$$-ray emissions from RI spots in a PET-standard human-body phantom. The quality of the three-dimensional imaging program for the Si/CdTe Compton camera to reconstruct the image of the RI spots in a phantom was evaluated by the system, when the phantom has three hot sphere-regions with the same known RI density and different diameters, in other words, different known intensities. The density values of the hot regions reconstructed by the three-dimensional imaging program for the Compton camera were consistent to the known intensities of the RI. It demonstrates sufficient quality of the program for Si/CdTe Compton camera to image RI spots in the phantom.
