Objective:To investigate the relationship between artificial radionuclide 137Cs and stable cesium (Cs) in wild edible fungi and seek potential correlations. Methods:A total of 30 samples, including the caps (with gills) and stipes of wild edible fungi, were collected from the northeastern region of China. The measurement and analysis of 137Cs were conducted following recommended procedures in GB/T 16145-2022, and stable Cs was determined using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Then, the correlation analysis of data on 137Cs and stable Cs was performed using SPSS 11.5 software, and scatter plots were prepared using the Origin 21.0 software. Results:The fungi caps exhibited a specific activity of 137Cs ranging from 0.52 to 55.9 Bq/kg (dry weight) and a stable Cs content from 0.069 mg/kg to 16.2 mg/kg (dry weight). The stipes showed a specific activity of 137Cs ranging from 0.53 Bq/kg to 101 Bq/kg (dry weight) and a stable Cs content from 0.075 to 11.5 mg/kg (dry weight). These data revealed a significant correlation between the specific activity of 137Cs and the stable cesium content in all samples including caps and stipes, with correlation coefficients r of 0.956, 0.912, and 0.931, respectively, and all significant levels P < 0.01. The ratios of the specific activity of 137Cs to stable Cs content varied from 2.09 Bq/kg to 20.1 Bq/kg (dry weight), with an average of 10.7 Bq/kg (dry weight). Conclusions:Wild edible fungi fail to distinguish between 137Cs and stable cesium when absorbing Cs elements from their growing substrates. Furthermore, there is a strong correlation between the specific activity of 137Cs and stable Cs content. In the case of exogenous 137Cs contamination, the ratio of the specific activity of 137Cs and stable Cs content will significantly change. Therefore, an increase in the ratio can be used as a reference for identifying 137Cs contamination events.

Objective:To explore the applicability of critical statistical measures Z, Z′, Zeta ( ζ), and En value in comparative capability assessments by analyzing the data from nationwide radiological health technology institutions from 2020 to 2023, aiming to provide a reference for further improving China′s comparative assessment method for verifying the γ-ray spectroscopy capability of radionuclides. Methods:Based on the nationwide analysis and comparison of γ-ray spectroscopy of radionuclides conducted annually by the National Institute for Radiological Protection, China CDC, the deviations between laboratory result and reference values were determined using the above-mentioned four statistical measures. Finally, the qualification rates of the γ-ray spectroscopy result from relevant institutions were assessed and analyzed.Results:The result indicate that the qualification rates of the Z value exceeded 85%, which might be inaccurate in some cases since it ignored the limitation of uncertainty. In contrast, the Z′ value yielded more scientific and representative result because it considered the uncertainty of reference values, and the inter-laboratory comparison qualification rate is above 95%. In the case of low uncertainty of the γ-ray spectroscopy result, the Zeta ( ζ) or En ratio exhibited relatively high sensitivity and, accordingly, relatively low qualification rates, indicating that this ratio may not comprehensively reflect the interlaboratory comparison result. Conclusions:The Z, Z′, Zeta ( ζ), and En values demonstrate their own advantages and limitations in assessing the capability of the γ-ray spectroscopy of radionuclides. For comparison projects involving multiple laboratories and complex measurement conditions, such as the nationwide verification of the capabilities of the γ-ray spectroscopy of radionuclides, it is feasible to combine the Z′ value with the Zeta ( ζ) or En ratio, with the former and the latter used to determine the qualified and excellent capability result, respectively. This enables the comprehensive assessment of the measurement and analysis capabilities of the γ-ray spectroscopy laboratories of radiological health technology institutions in China.

Objective:To understand the activity concentrations of varying chemical forms of 131I in nuclear medicine workplaces and assess the internal irradiation doses of 131I to workers. Methods:A high-volume air sampler was used for air sampling of 131I. Glass fiber filters, activated carbon filters, and iodine cartridges, which were connected in series, were employed to collect aerosol iodine, gaseous inorganic iodine, and gaseous organic iodine, respectively. A method for analyzing the activity of 131I unevenly distributed in the iodine cartridge was developed, and an HPGe γ spectrometer was used to determine the activity of 131I in samples collected from the nuclear medicine workplaces of 15 hospitals. Results:The concentrations of aerosol iodine, inorganic iodine, and organic iodine in 15 hospitals were determined at 0.19-206.67, 0.27-138.45, and 2.35-3 821.11 Bq/m 3, respectively, with arithmetic means of 22.04, 12.79 and 365.08 Bq/m 3, respectively. The maximum annual committed effective doses of varied forms of 131I inhaled by workers were determined at 0.19, 0.19, and 3.81 mSv, respectively, with a maximum total committed effective dose of 4.13 mSv. Conclusions:Gaseous organic iodine is identified as the primary form of 131I in the air within nuclear medicine workplaces. Therefore, it is necessary to highlight the monitoring and protection of gaseous organic iodine.

Objective:To establish a highly-sensitive method for the rapid measurement of 137Cs in seawater with an view to its preliminary application in eight coastal provinces of China. Methods:The method employed nickel potassium polyacrylonitrile (KNiFC-PAN), an organic polymer-based ion exchanged resin material, to filter and adsorb 137Cs from seawater at a rate of 60 ml/min via a peristaltic pump. The adsorption efficiency of KNiFC-PAN was determined by measuring the cesium ion concentration before and after adsorption in seawater, with the addition of stable cesium, using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Three KNiFC-PAN matrix components of 137Cs standard samples were prepared for the efficiency calibration of well type high purity germanium gamma spectrometer to obtain its detection efficiency. Results:The established measuring method can complete the filtration and adsorption of 137Cs from 20 L seawater within 6-8 h, which was twice as fast as the co-precipitation method with phosphomolybdic acid-ammonium molybdate taking more than 12 h, as stipulated in the GB/T 16145-2022 standard. The cesium recovery rate was as high as 98.02%. The relative standard deviation of the efficiency calibration result for the three prepared standard samples was 1.30%, and the detection limit for 137Cs was 0.26 Bq/m 3. The activity concentrations of 137Cs in offcoast seawater in eight coastal provinces of China were detected ranging from 0.38 to 1.24 Bq/m 3. The activity concentration of 137Cs in coastal seawater of China was at the background level, while as reported in 2019 was 0.03-1.92 Bq/m 3 in the eastern Chinese seas and 1-2 Bq/m 3 in the Pacific Ocean. Conclusions:This method has high detection sensitivity and can quickly obtain the values of activity concentration of 137Cs in seawater, thus providing a rapid and feasible method for emergency monitoring of 137Cs in China.

Objective:To investigate a novel coating technology for artificial blood vessel pipelines, conducting preliminary tests on the mechanical stability, hemocompatibility, and biocompatibility of the coating.Methods:The polyester braided artificial blood vessels produced by Terumo Corporation were subjected to three different experimental treatments and divided into three groups. Model group: The uncoated artificial blood vessels were thoroughly cleaned and freeze-dried. Experimental group: The artificial blood vessels were first immersed in a dopamine solution to form a polydopamine(PDA) coating on their surface, and then further immersed in an earthworm active protein/gelatin(EWAP/GT) solution to create PDA/GT/EWAP-modified artificial blood vessels. Collagen group: The untreated polyester woven artificial blood vessels served as the control. The study detailed the characterization, porosity, water permeability, degradation rate, blood compatibility, and cytotoxicity of the PDA/GT/EWAP-coated artificial blood vessels. Additionally, a 2-week in vivo study was conducted to evaluate the biocompatibility of the PDA/GT/EWAP-coated artificial blood vessels implanted subcutaneously in SD rats.Results:The PDA/GT/EWAP-coated artificial vascular grafts were successfully fabricated. The artificial blood vessels in the PDA/GT/EWAP group exhibited a porosityof(50.53±1.10)%, with water permeability showing a gradual decreasing trend over time. The overall in vitro degradation rate at 4 weeks was(1.83±0.08)%, and the PDA/GT/EWAP group demonstrated favorable mechanical stability. The activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT) of the PDA/GT/EWAP group was(26.30±0.46)s, the thrombin time(TT) was(18.83±0.49)s, the hemolysis rate was(2.15±0.09)%, and the plasma recalcification time(PRT) was(191.00±10.54)s, indicating excellent blood compatibility and anticoagulant properties. MTT assay evaluation of the PDA/GT/EWAP group revealed no significant cytotoxicity. After subcutaneous implantation of vascular samples in rats for 2 weeks, analysis of blood immune parameters and hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining of the artificial vascular samples showed that the immune response in the PDA/GT/EWAP group exhibited no significant difference compared to the collagen group and was superior to the model group. Conclusion.Conclusion:The PDA/GT/EWAP composite-coated artificial blood vessel demonstrates excellent mechanical properties, good hemocompatibility, biocompatibility, and low cytotoxicity. It also shows remarkable stability. This research offers a new approach for domestic technological breakthroughs in related fields.

Objective To determine the content and distribution characteristics of the artificial radionuclide 137Cs and the natural radionuclides 210Pb, 226Ra, 228Ra, and 40K in wild edible fungi, and calculate the committed effective dose due to 137Cs and 210Pb in wild edible fungi. Methods Thirty samples of wild edible fungi were collected and their caps and stems were separated. A total of 60 samples were measured for 137Cs, 210Pb, 226Ra, 228Ra, and 40K using a BE5030 wide-energy, low-background, high-purity germanium γ spectrometer. The paired analysis of the four radionuclides 226Ra, 210Pb, 137Cs, and 40K was performed using SPSS 11.5. Results Among the 60 samples, the detection rates and dry weight specific activity ranges of 137Cs, 210Pb, 226Ra, 228Ra, and 40K were 97% and 0.62-384 Bq/kg, 73% and 6.4-159 Bq/kg, 52% and 0.7-28.8 Bq/kg, 5% and 0.43-2.18 Bq/kg and 100% and (77.4-264) × 10 Bq/kg, respectively. Conclusion Based on the analysis of the 60 samples, the detection rate of radionuclides is in the order of 40K, 137Cs, 210Pb, 226Ra, and 228Ra. In terms of the specific activity, the distribution of 40K and 226Ra in wild edible fungi in the same region is basically uniform, while the content of 210Pb and 137Cs fluctuates in different samples. Although 137Cs and 210Pb can be detected in most of the wild edible fungi, the annual committed effective dose due to ingestion of wild edible fungi is negligible.
