Abstract

The viability of probiotics is important to be determined, as is its probiotic potency in the small instestine of fish. The result can be used as a basis to determine the feeding frequency of the probiotics to the fish.The aim of this study is to gain information about the viability of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in the small intestine of fish by using the 32P isotope technique. Catfish (Pangasius djambal) was used as a test fish, and the LAB with the code of P2.1 PTB was the subject of the experiment. Before its viability was tested, the LAB had been labelled with radioisotope 32P, then mixed into catfish feed. Its viability could be determined by counting the activity of 32P. The results showed that the percentage of LAB viability in the small intestine of catfish declined until day 7. The percentage of LAB viability was decreased at an amount of 30% at day 3. Based on this result, the feeding frequency of LAB P2.1 PTB is every 3 days.Received: 04 October 2014 Revised: 26 March 2015; Accepted: 05 April 2015

Abstract

In most nuclear and radiological emergencies involving the release of radioactive materials to environment, it is important that data on the geographic distribution of potentially hazardous radioactive materials be quickly presented to the authorities. The mobile radiation detection system makes it possible to measure radioactive materials in the environment at random places because of its easy mobility from place to place. The purpose of the work is to develop a mobile radiation detection system to measure gamma exposure rate, radioactive material on the ground and airborne radioactive particulate in the environment quickly. In this work, we have developed a carborne survey equipment system consisting of three gamma ray detectors, one airbome radioactive particulate sampler, a GPS (Global Positioning System), meteorological sensors, a data acquisition system and an operation software. Performance of the carborne survey equipment has been successfully demonstrated to measure iodine and argon release from medical isotope production facility on Serpong in western Java, Indonesia.Received: 04 October 2014; Revised:16 March 2015; Accepted: 23 March 2015

Abstract

Radiation dose to the kidneys (kidney dose) in 177Lu-DOTATATE - Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy(PRRT) is considered to be the main potential side-effect from the treatment. Prospective assessment of kidney radiation dose can be made with SPECT, however, this requires an intensive imaging regime over a number of days. For this reason, a retrospective investigation of kidney uptake using quantitative SPECT was performed. The aim of the study was to compare the estimated radiation dose to kidneys for each cycle. Seventeen patients treated with 177Lu-DOTATATE for metastatic neuro-endocrine tumors had full imaging for each of their treatment cycles on a Siemens Intevo SPECT/CT gamma camera. One course of treatment consisted of 3 or 4 cycles approximately 8 weeks apart spanning 6 months. SPECT/CT scans of the abdomen were acquired at 3 time points (4, 24 and 96-120 hours) after administration of ~7.8 GBq of 177Lu-DOTATATE. Nine patients received three cycles in total and eight patients had four cycles. Volumes of interest (VOIs) were defined on a CT scan co-registered with the SPECT images and repeated over all time points, to give the radioactivity in the kidneys. Whole organ dosimetry was estimated using OLINDA/EXM using an exponential clearance model. This gives an estimate of radiation absorbed dose to kidneys, in the unit of absorbed dose of organ per administered activity(Gy/GBq) for each treatment cycle. The mean of the 3 or 4 cycles and variation can then be determined. The result shows that the average kidney radiation dose was 0.23 Gy/GBq (range: 0.06 – 0.42) and the average variation between cycles  for all subjects expressed as a percentage was (12.5±7.8) % (median: 11.4 %, range: 1.8 % - 29.4 %). From this study, it can be concluded that the estimated radiation dose to the kidneys for PRRT shows good reproducibility (typically <20 % variation) within an individual across all cycles within one course of treatment  (up to 4 cycles). The errors introduced by assuming that the dosimetry estimate per unit GBq administered from the initial cycle could be used for subsequent cycles within a course are unlikely to contribute significantly to the overall estimate of radiation burden and are considered to be safe.

Abstract

Cs-137 is one of the most common radionuclides used for analysing man-made radioactive contamination in the environment beside Sr-90. Nangro Aceh Darussalam Province suffered the greatest mortality, with widespread destruction extending along more than 1000 km of coastline on 26 December 2004 due to tsunami. The disaster were affected areas about 220 km long and around 5 km wide along the coastlines of Aceh and North Sumatra. The purpose of this study is to investigate the artificial radioactivity 137Cs in soil samples which have been collected from various locations along the areas affected by tsunami in Aceh. The surface soil samples were collected from 20 sites in this region. The soil samples from the middle area of Aceh which was not exposed to the tsunami have also been investigated for comparison. The activity concentration of137Cs in the samples was measured using a ORTEC P-type coaxial high purity Germanium (HPGe) detector system. The artificial radioactivity level of 137Cs measured from these samples was found in the range of not detected to 2.09 Bq.kg-1 for the affected soil samples and 0.56 to 1.44 Bq.kg-1 for unaffected soil respectively. The radioactivity concentrations of 137Cs within the coastline areas are comparable to that of the middle area, which was not exposed to the tsunami. The results indicate that there are no new inputs of man-made radionuclides into the area at that time and the data obtained could serve as baseline levels of 137Cs in Aceh Region.Received: 29 May 2015 ; Revised: 02 November 2015; Accepted: 25 November 2015

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of gamma irradiation on dry matter, organic matter, and neutral detergent fiber degradability of Samurai 1 sweet sorghum bagasse, to facilitate its utilization in ruminant diets. Sorghum bagasse was obtained from Samurai 1 sorghum stem by-product after juice extraction. Gamma irradiation was carried out in a cobalt-60 irradiator in the Center for the Application of Isotopes and Radiation. Two polyethylene packages of samples were irradiated in gamma cell (Co-60) at doses of 50 and 100 kGy in the presence of air. Treatments were untreated/unirradiated and  50- and 100-kGy gamma irradiation. Sample were incubated in the rumen for periods of 0, 8, 24, 48, and 72 h with in sacco method. The observed parameters were the degradations of dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM), and neutral detergent fiber (NDF). DM, OM and NDF degradation characteristics were also observed. DM degradation of 50 kGy irradiation dose started higher than untreated samples after 24 hours incubation while OM degradation started higher than untreated samples after 48 hours incubation. DM and OM degradation of 100 kGy irradiation started higher than untreated after 8 hours incubation. Gamma irradiation treatment of 50 kGy and 100 kGy could increase NDF degradation on 8 to 72 hours incubation. Irradiation was also capable to increase NDF degradation rate (c fraction) and ruminal effective degradation (ED) value on Samurai 1 sweet sorghum bagasse. Gamma Irradiation could break down the lignocellulose materials, break β 1,4 branch chain of cellulose and make it easily digested for rumen bacteria. The best dose of gamma irradiation for processing Samurai 1 sweet sorghum bagasse as a fiber source for ruminants was 100 kGy.Received: 10 December 2015; Revised: 10 October 2016; Accepted: 10 October 2016

Abstract

The fission-product 99Mo, having a high specific activity, is commonly used in alumina-based 99Mo/99mTc generator. Due to the limitation on the use of fission-product 99Mo, an alternative route for 99Mo production, namely activation of natural molybdenum using thermal neutron, has been explored. Unfortunately, this neutron-activated 99Mo has a low specific activity. Therefore, 99Mo/99mTc generator based on neutron-activated 99Mo requires a column with higher capacity absorbent. Thus, in this study, the nanomaterial of alumina (nano-a-Al2O3) was synthesized which was expected to have a higher 99Mo adsorption capacity, so that nano-a-Al2O3 could be potentially used as a matrix of column for 99Mo/99mTc generator based on neutron-activated 99Mo. Nano-a-Al2O3 was synthesized by using sol-gel method and characterized using FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In addition, the Scherrer method was used to determine the size of the crystals. To determine the 99Mo adsorption capacity of the synthesized nanoalumina, the nano-a-alumina was soaked in nitric acid solution for one hour at room temperature followed by removing the filtrate. Then, the nano-a-alumina was soaked in 99Mo solution (Na299MoO4) at certain conditions. The FTIR spectra for nano-a-alumina showed adsorption peak at 450-500 cm-1 which indicated the presence of Al-O bond. The XRD patterns of nanoalumina crystals showed peaks at 2θ region of 25.8°, 35.9°, 38°, 52.8°, and 57.7°, indicating that the synthesized alumina had an α-phase with an average crystal size of ~5.5 nm. The average 99Mo adsorption capacity of the synthesized alumina was 47.55 ± 12.3 mg Mo/g nano-a-Al2O3.
