2005, 22(2): 153-166. doi: 10.11804/NuclPhysRev.22.02.153
Abstract(2865) PDF (408KB)(631)
Abstract:
Status of theoretical studies on superheavy nuclei is simply reviewed.We investigate the influence of nuclear deformation on halflives of α decay for
long lifetime nuclei beyond 208Pb. The range of the validity of relativistic meanfield model is analyzed and discussed. The conservation of parity in αdecay, clusterradioactivity, and spontaneous fission of nuclei is stressed. New views on the properties of superheavy nuclei are presented.

2005, 22(2): 172-179. doi: 10.11804/NuclPhysRev.22.02.172
Abstract(3046) PDF (332KB)(598)
Abstract:
It is systematically observed that the B(M1)/B(E2) plots with the increasing of rotational frequency, behaves as a socalled parabolalike shape in the π h11/2 νi13/2 bands of rareearth doubly odd nuclei (i.e., the B(M1)/B(E2) ratios increase rapidly after a certain rotational frequency). Such a phenomenon is discussed based on the formula of magnetic dipole reduced transition probability deduced from the Cranking Shell Model and Particle Rotor Model respectively. It is pointed out that, the occurrence of this behavior is closely related to the alignment nature of the νi 13/2 quasineutron. The increasing of B(M1)/B(E2) occurring at large frequency approaching the second BC crossing can be understood as mainly resulted from the mixing of wave function with the 4 quasiparticle band caused by the band crossing. Insight into the angular momentum coupling scheme between the quasiparticles and collective core in the π h11/2 νi 13/2 structures of rare earth doubly odd nuclei is gained by analyzing the increasing behavior of B(M1)/B(E2) ratios occurring at low rotational frequency.

2005, 22(2): 186-189. doi: 10.11804/NuclPhysRev.22.02.186
Abstract(1981) PDF (168KB)(677)
Abstract:
: In CSRe electron cooling device, a special electron gun which can produce variable profile electron beam with different size and density distribution was adopted for decreasing ion losses. Electrostatic bending device was used for reducing electron beam losses and improving vacuum condition. The instability of the electron beam is suppressed because the secondary electrons from collector would come back to the collector in the same orbit finally. Longitudinal magnetic field with parallelism better than 10-4 was achieved by adopting of independent high precise solenoid coils at cooling section. In this case, the r.m.s deviations of the transverse magnetic field at cooling section in horizontal and vertical direction are 3.298×10-5 and 2.458×10-5 respectively. The characters of the gun and collector were investigated. The results were presented and indicate that it achieves the design purpose very well.

SHI Ping, DING Fu-rong, WANG Yao, NIE Rui, MA Hong-ji
2005, 22(2): 193-197. doi: 10.11804/NuclPhysRev.22.02.193
Abstract(2022) PDF (224KB)(547)
Abstract:
Using energetic cluster as projectile is a unique way to produce simultaneous impacts of several atoms and deposit extremely high energy density in a very small area. The cluster impingement on solids has exhibited some nonlinear effects not presented in collisions of individual atoms with those solids. The study of the secondary ion emissions can give insight into the energy deposition and relaxation steps of the clustersolid interaction. The dependence of the yields of secondary ion emission induced by clusters on the energy of clusters,cluster sizes,charge states and material structures of the targets was reviewed in this paper.

WANG Guang-chang, ZHENG Zhi-jian, YANG Xiang-dong, GU Yu-qiu, WU Yun-b
2005, 22(2): 200-203. doi: 10.11804/NuclPhysRev.22.02.200
Abstract(2214) PDF (177KB)(685)
Abstract:
This paper reports hot electron energy spectrum measured with electron spectrometer, and Optical Transition Radiation measured with optical timeintegrated image of CCD during the interaction of lasersolid target in targets at the rearside radiation of laser on 20 Terawatt femtosecond laser facility. It shows that hot electron energy spectrum can be fitted with twotemperature likeMaxwellian distribution, with T≈90 and 280 keV,but average temperature of hot electrons T≈185 keV, which accorded with the known temperature scaling law. Because Optical Transition Radiation is produced by the hot electrons transport through solid targets, region of Optical Transition Radiation has lager radiation angle and optical intensity distribution. The main acceleration of hot electron comes from resonance absorption.

Abstract(2251) PDF (161KB)(790)
Abstract:
DNA is considered to be the most important and sensitive target in biological systems. In addition to the base damage, DNA strand breaks are the major lesion in the genome due to exposure to ionizing radiation. Mutation can be introduced to DNA as a result of enzymatic processing of DNA lesions or postirradiation replication. However, the mechanisms of radiationinduced mutations are not well clarified at the molecular level. To study the effect on the simple plasmid DNA of heavy ion is even predominant or more feasible. 
Plasmid pUC18 DNA was prepared and irradiated by neon beam (7.199 MeV/u). The fragment distributions were determined by quantifying the ethidium bromide fluorescence. It can be seen that the shape of the intensity distributions is vastly different for the used radiation Dose. The distribution produced shows an excess of fragments particularly in 3 000 and 10 000 Gy the size range between 20—40 kbp and 20—50 bp. This clustering of doublestranded fragments might be influenced by the higher order chromatin structure of genomic DNA. If so, DNA loop structures could correspond to the size range for which we observed DSB clustering. Further studies aim at elucidating the heterogeneity of DSB induction within the genome and investigate the influence of chromatin structure on the nonrandom fragment distribution.

Abstract(1595) PDF (160KB)(580)
Abstract:
The low-dose responses such as hypersensitivity and increased radio-resistance of human hepatoma SMMC-7721 cells were studied in this work. Exponentially growing SMMC-7721 cells were irradiated with ~(60)Co γ-rays at doses of 0—6 Gy. Together with flow cytometer for precise cell sorting, cell survival fractions were measured by means of conventional colony-formation assay. It has been found that the SMMC-7721 cells showed hyper-radiosensitivity response at low doses and increased radio-resistance at larger

XIA Jing-guang, LI Wen-jian, WANG Ju-fang, GUO Chuan-ling, WEI Wei, YANG Jian-she
2005, 22(2): 216-218. doi: 10.11804/NuclPhysRev.22.02.216
Abstract(1755) PDF (118KB)(847)
Abstract:
Human hepatoma cells hep G2 were irradiated with 3 Gy of γray 8 hours after primed with 0.05 Gy of γray, thereafter,cell survival and cell cycle were determined. The results indicated that both survival adaptive response and the enhanced ability to overcome G2/M arrest could be induced by preirradiation with low dose of γray. It is suggested that there is a certain correlation between the survival adaptive response and the enhanced ability to overcome cell cycle arrest.

2005, 22(2): 219-224. doi: 10.11804/NuclPhysRev.22.02.219
Abstract(2417) PDF (314KB)(584)
Abstract:
Although tumor gene therapy has a distance to clinical use due to some problems, the combination of irradiation and gene therapy holds much promise in cancer therapy based on the traditional radiotherapy, chemotherapy and surgery. We have termed this therapeutic radiogenic therapy. This review focuses on the group of radiogenic therapy that are either: ⑴ improvement of gene transfer efficiency by irradiation; ⑵ radiotherapy combined with cytokines gene delivery or enhancement of the immunity of tumor cells by transgene; ⑶ directly stimulated by radiation to produce either directly or indirectly cytotoxic agents; ⑷ increasing of radiosensitivity in gene therapy; ⑸ radioprotective gene therapyenhances radiation tumor killing effect while protecting the normal tissue and organs with transgene using transfer vector.

2005, 22(2): 225-228. doi: 10.11804/NuclPhysRev.22.02.225
Abstract(2082) PDF (152KB)(692)
Abstract:
DNA damage induced by irradiation,which makes the cell arrested at G1 stage and DNA repair being activated in this stage,are summarized. It is proposed that the deficiency of adenosine triphosphate which is induced by the larger irradiation dose, induces cell apoptosis. And the relationship of cell selecting repair and apoptosis is also analyzed.

Abstract(2381) PDF (205KB)(578)
Abstract:
Apoptin is an anticancer gene. It can induce p53independent,Bcl2insensitive type of apoptosis in various human tumor cells,and fails to induce programmed cell death in normal cell. Because of having tumor specificity, apoptin can be transferred enough to tumorcell in vivo,selectly kill the tumor as a potential antitumor biological preparation. In this paper, we provide a brief review on the anticancer mechanism of apoptin, current status and application prospect, and the main issues in apoptin studies.
