Introduction Bone Functions of the bone Framework for support and movement Protection Storage of minerals Production of blood cells When I talk about the organ system of your body, one of the most importance organ is bone. Because the bone serve a variety of mechanical functions. Together with other bones in the body. The Functions of the skeleton For example, it is - Structural support for heart, lungs and marrow  - Protection for brain, and other internal organs  - Mineral reservoir for calcium and phosphorus  - production of blood cells  As mention above, you know that the bone has a lot of function and they are very strong. So, the bone are strong like this due to the composition within the bone. Ref : http://themissionlsc.com/human-skeleton-diagram.html 3

Introduction (cont.) Composition of bone Calcium Phosphate Collagen and hydroxyapatite Fibres Fibre patterns Bone tissue Mineralized collagen fibrils Osteons and Haversian canals Ref : http://txchnologist.com/post/54506899743 Bone structure Ok, in the human bone is mainly composed of 65%w of inorganic substances and the remaining 35%w of organic compound which the most is collagen. The inorganic substances in bone as apatite calcium phosphate. The form of calcium phosphate in your bone which is in hydroxyapatite form. 35% Organic 28% collagen 5% protein 65% Inorganic (hydroxyapatite) Mostly Calcium and inorganic orthophosphate deposited between collagen Calcium Phosphate 4

Introduction (cont.) Osteoporosis Bone fractures Types of fractures In the daily life of human. Sometimes it may be accidents that result in our bones fracture or brittle. The main cause of the bone fracture caused by trauma due to an injury and spontaneous fracture that cause by a disease (ดีซีซ). In Thailand, there are a lot of patients with this disease, Most of the elderly that is osteoporosis. Types of fractures 1. Traumatic fracture (cause by an injury) 2. Spontaneous fracture (cause by a disease) Osteoporosis 5

Introduction (cont.) Medical Technology Bone replacement material Calcium supplement Bioceramic material Bioresorbable ceramic Bioinert ceramic Bioactive ceramic “Hydroxyapatite” In the present, there are many medical technologies which have a role in the treatment of bone disease, such as a calcium supplement, drug inhibits bone destruction, bone replacement surgery with the patient's own bone parts and the other one is the surgery to replace the damaged bone with the artificial bone or bioceramic. Especially, hydroxyapatite that has the ability to bind in the human bone. It is also capable of promoting bone regeneration and bonding directly to regenerated bone without intermediate connective tissue at a faster rate than other materials.

Introduction (cont.) Effect of radiation In the future, the patients who had been treated with bone replacement with implanted bones from hydroxyapatite may be work about radiation or diagnose and radiotherapy by radiation. Then, hydroxyapatite from synthesis must be investigate the effect of radiation on hydroxyapatite. In the future, the patients who had been treated with bone replacement with implanted bones from hydroxyapatite may be work about radiation or diagnose and radiotherapy by radiation. Then, hydroxyapatite from synthesis must be investigate the effect of radiation on hydroxyapatite. So in this research has studied the effects of radiation exposure hydroxyapatite synthesized from quail eggshell using electron spin resonance spectroscopy in order to serve a based medical information and develop new dosimeter for routine dosimetry.

Objectives To study characteristic ESR signal on hydroxyapatite synthesized from quail eggshell before and after gamma irradiation. To evaluate gamma radiation dose response on hydroxyapatite synthesized from quail eggshell. To study fading time on hydroxyapatite synthesized from quail eggshell after irradiation. Next, the purpose (เพอเพิร์ส) of this work consists of 3 points. The first point is to study characteristic ESR signal on hydroxyapatite synthesized from quail eggshell before and after gamma irradiation. The second point is to evaluate gamma radiation dose response on hydroxyapatite synthesized from quail eggshell. And finally, to study fading time on hydroxyapatite synthesized from quail eggshell after irradiation. (35sec) 8

Hydroxyapatite powder Experiment : Sample Preparation Samples preparation Hydroxyapatite synthesis adjust pH Remove membrane, clean and crush into powder NH4OH sol. 6M (NH4)2HPO4 sol. adjust pH Quail eggshell CaO + HNO3 10M Ca(NO3)2 sol. Heat at temp. 1300 C Precipitated CaCO3 CaO+CO2 In this part is about experiment. For this work is divided into 2 experimental step. First step is sample preparation and second step is analysis the effect of radiation of the samples. For the process of sample preparation, first the quail eggshell were removed membrane and cleaned in distilled water. After dried, the quail eggshell were crushed into powder and annealed at 1300 C for 4 hr. at room temperature. After sintering, you can get the eggshell heated at 1300 C that so-called calcium oxides. The calcium oxides were mixed with nitric acid and became to calcium nitrate solution. Then, Phosphate solution was prepared from di-ammonium hydrogen orthophosphate mixed with distilled water and dropped it into calcium nitrate solution. The both of solution were adjusted pH with ammonium hydroxide. After stirring, the solution will precipitate. Hence, it was washed with distilled water over and over times, filtered and dried in oven at 100C for 48 hr. After that, grinded it into the powder. You can get the hydroxyapatite that synthesized from quail eggshell. (2.14 min) Keep at room temp. for 8 hr. Filtered Dry at 100ºC 48 hr. Sample: Quail eggshell heated at 1300 C (CaO) Ground into powder Hydroxyapatite powder 9

It’s divided into 3 parts. For this slide is the first part about characteristic of ESR signal of hydroxyapatite. In this figure show ESR signal of QS-HAp before and after gamma irradiation. The ESR signal before irradiation has only a background signal. And after irradiation, there are mainly three components contributing to the ESR spectra. The center peak of ESR is four molecules ions of CO2-, CO3- and CO33-. The g value of center peak of Hap show in the table. The results shows that the characteristic of Hap from quail eggshell is similar to Hap from bone and tooth enamel of human. Moreover, it also appears 2 peaks beside the center peak that assigned to the features of HAp synthesis in the aqueous solution, when the water molecules enter into the formatting HAp crystal lattice consists of water molecules and free electron formed by gamma irradiation of HAp. During the motion the free electron interacts with four protons of water molecules located inside of HAp crystal lattice. For the model of paramagnetic center in hydroxyapatite show in figure2. (1.22min) before irradiation The new paramagnetic center in HAp was found. Its formation is assigned to the features of HAp synthesis in the aqueous solution, the free electron of HAp that formed by gamma irradiation interacts with the four photons of the four water molecules during its motion circular trajectory Fig.1 ESR signal QS-HAp before and after gamma irradiation 11
