Expression of CONNEXIN43 is highly sensitive to ionizing radiation and other environmental stresses.
To gain a greater understanding of the mechanisms underlying the cellular responses to low-dose ionizing radiation, gene expression profiles were examined by microarray analysis of cDNA from confluent human diploid fibroblast cultures exposed to very low fluences of alpha-particles. The data, supported by Northern and Western analyses, indicate that radiation induces a significant up-regulation...
متن کاملFlexyDos3D: a deformable anthropomorphic 3D radiation dosimeter: radiation properties.
Three dimensional radiation dosimetry has received growing interest with the implementation of highly conformal radiotherapy treatments. The radiotherapy community faces new challenges with the commissioning of image guided and image gated radiotherapy treatments (IGRT) and deformable image registration software.A new three dimensional anthropomorphically shaped flexible dosimeter, further call...
متن کاملA search for novel thermoluminescent radiation dosimeter media.
We describe two example pilot efforts to help define new thermoluminescent dosimeter media. The first concerns ZnS:Mn nanophosphors, prepared by chemical precipitation using zinc and sodium sulfate, doped with manganese sulfate at concentrations varying from 1 to 3mol. The second concerns chemical vapor deposited diamond, produced as a thin film or as amorphous carbon on a single-crystal silico...

متن کاملIonizing Radiation
Introduction Radiation that has sufficient energy to remove electrons from atoms is called “ionizing radiation.” Ionization results in the production of negatively charged free electrons and positively charged ionized atoms. Ionizing radiation can be classified into two groups: photons (includes X-radiation and gamma radiation) and particles (includes alpha and beta particles and neutrons). The...
