Cytogenetic Abnormalities in Lymphocytes from Victims Exposed to Cobalt-60 Radiation

Cytogenetic Abnormalities in Lymphocytes from Victims Exposed to Cobalt-60 Radiation

The present study investigates cytogenetic damage in lymphocytes, derived from three victims who were unfortunately exposed to cobalt-60 (60Co) radiation (the 1999 accident occurred in a village in China's Henan province). Case A of the three victims was exposed to a higher dose of 60Co radiation than Cases B and C. The chromosomal aberrations, cytokinesis-block micronucleus (CBMN, the CBMN ass...

Cobalt 60 radiation and growth of Candida species.

Eight pathogenic Candida species were exposed to 6oCo radiation and examined for variation in growth and development. All isolates demonstrated accelerated pseudohyphal growth and blastospore production at 10,000 rads compared with controls receiving no gamma radiation. Growth gradually decreased with increased 6oCo exposure, and minimal recovery occurred with four species at 2.4 million rads.

Influence of Cobalt (60) radiation on the Rat Lung

This study we tried to investigate the effect of Cobalt radiation in lung of Wistar rats weighing 160 to 180 gr. A total of 60 rats were divided into 4 groups with 15 rats each.T1, First group as control group did not receive any radiation, T2) was irradiated with 5 Gy, T3) was irradiated with 7.5 Gy, T4) ws irradiated with 12 Gy. These findings demonstrate dosage d.ependent changes in differen...
