Gamma-H2AX-Based Dose Estimation for Whole and Partial Body Radiation Exposure
Most human exposures to ionising radiation are partial body exposures. However, to date only limited tools are available for rapid and accurate estimation of the dose distribution and the extent of the body spared from the exposure. These parameters are of great importance for emergency triage and clinical management of exposed individuals. Here, measurements of γ-H2AX immunofluorescence by mic...
متن کاملThe Use of Gamma-H2AX as a Biodosimeter for Total-Body Radiation Exposure in Non-Human Primates
BACKGROUND There is a crucial shortage of methods capable of determining the extent of accidental exposures of human beings to ionizing radiation. However, knowledge of individual exposures is essential for early triage during radiological incidents to provide optimum possible life-sparing medical procedures to each person. METHODS AND FINDINGS We evaluated immunocytofluorescence-based quanti...
متن کاملEstimation of whole-body radiation exposure from brachytherapy for oral cancer using a Monte Carlo simulation
Early stage oral cancer can be cured with oral brachytherapy, but whole-body radiation exposure status has not been previously studied. Recently, the International Commission on Radiological Protection Committee (ICRP) recommended the use of ICRP phantoms to estimate radiation exposure from external and internal radiation sources. In this study, we used a Monte Carlo simulation with ICRP phanto...
متن کاملRadiation protection properties of Myrtus communis against oxidation caused by whole-body exposure of mice
Introduction: Exposure to ionizing radiation can be through direct hit or water radiolysis lead to oxidation in biological systems. In this study, the protective effect of Myrtus Communis aqueous extract on structural changes and oxidative stress in red blood cells and plasma proteins was examined after receipt of ionizing radiation. Materials and Methods: wis...
متن کاملChromosome Damage Caused by Accidental Chronic Whole-Body Gamma Radiation Exposure in Thailand.
In February 2000, a radiation incident involving a medical (60)Co source occurred in a metal scrapyard in Thailand. Several individuals were suspected to have received chronic or fractionated exposures ranging from a few mGy to a several Gy. Using fluorescence in situ hybridization to paint chromosomes, we determined the frequencies of chromosome aberrations in peripheral blood lymphocytes of 1...
