Enhanced experimental metastasis of ultraviolet light-induced fibrosarcomas in ultraviolet light-irradiated syngeneic mice.
Some ultraviolet light (UV)-induced fibrosarcomas produce more experimental pulmonary tumor colonies in UV-irradiated hosts than in normal syngeneic recipients. The number of experimental metastases produced following i.v. injection of these tumors increases in proportion to the dose of UV radiation. This enhancement can be transferred with lymphoid cells to lethally X-irradiated recipients and...
متن کاملEffect of repair deficiency and R plasmids on spontaneous and radiation-induced mutability in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
The effect of R plasmids on spontaneous and radiation (ultraviolet and gamma)-induced mutability in Pseudomonas aeruginosa was studied in strains containing the radiation-sensitive markers polA3 or rec-2 and the revertable auxotrophic markers hisO27 and trpB1. In the absence of an R plasmid, the radiation-induced mutability was dependent on the recA+ genotype and independent of the polA+ genoty...
متن کاملInactivation of Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm after ultraviolet light-emitting diode treatment: a comparative study between ultraviolet C and ultraviolet B.
The objective of this study was to test the inactivation efficiency of two different light-based treatments, namely ultraviolet B (UVB) and ultraviolet C (UVC) irradiation, on Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms at different growth stages (24, 48, and 72 h grown). In our experiments, a type of AlGaN light-emitting diodes (LEDs) was used to deliver UV irradiation on the biofilms. The effectiveness o...
متن کاملUltraviolet Light
Ultraviolet light (UV) is a recognized disinfection alternative to chlorine and ozone in many applications from drinking water to wastewater treatment. UV provides effective disinfection without production of problematic disinfection byproducts. Information on the mechanism and application of UV for drinking water disinfection is presented. Advantages and disadvantages of the technique are disc...
متن کاملUltraviolet light and pterygium.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the contribution of ultraviolet light (UV) as a causal factor of primary and pterygium recurrence. A conjuctival autograft transplantation was a surgical method of pterygium treatment. In the first group (38 eyes) were patients with primary and recurrent pterygium exposed to sun (worked outdoors), evaluating geodemographic status, and in the second grou...
