Acute Effects of Fast Neutron Irradiation on Mouse Liver

Acute effects of fast neutron irradiation on mouse liver.

Until now, the multiple biological effects of ionizing radiation on liver have been reported. However, there has not been any reports of fast neutron-mediated liver injuries including liver regeneration or fibrosis. Here, we described the biological effects of acute fast neutron irradiation on the liver. After the fast neutron irradiation of 0, 0.25, 1, 2, 4 and 8 Gy on mice, hepatocyte necrosi...

Making a novel method to obtain the required irradiation time in fast neutron radiation therapy of liver tissue

During radiotherapy by any radiation, it is always essential to stop absorbing the excess dose by a tissue. To better treat cancerous tissues and to make more precise irradiation for a cancerous tumor, there needs the accurate irradiation time to be estimated. First, the constituent materials of any of the existing organs in abdominal tissue are extracted and defined in the MCNPX code. Then, ev...

Study of Fast Neutron Irradiation Effects on GaN using Depth- resolved Cathodoluminescence Spectroscopy

Gallium Nitride (GaN) is a radiation hard material that has unexplored potentials to be used as a neutron detector in harsh radiation environment. In this study, we will investigate the effects of radiation on semi-insulating (SI) and undoped GaN using depth-resolved cathodoluminescence spectroscopy (DRCLS) to measure the lattice defects due to neutron irradiation. The relationship between two ...

Effects of Neutron Irradiation on Carbon Doped MgB2 Wire Segments

We have studied the evolution of superconducting and normal state properties of neutron irradiated Mg(B.962C.038)2 wire segments as a function of post exposure annealing time and temperature. The initial fluence fully suppressed superconductivity and resulted in an anisotropic expansion of the unit cell. Superconductivity was restored by post-exposure annealing. The upper critical field, Hc2(T=...
