Differential Responses of Stress Genes to Low Dose-Rate ; Irradiation
In the past, most mechanistic studies of ionizing radiation response have employed very large doses, then extrapolated the results down to doses relevant to human exposure. It is becoming increasingly apparent, however, that this does not give an accurate or complete picture of the effects of most environmental exposures, which tend to be of low dose and protracted over time. We have initiated ...
متن کاملContinuous Low-Dose-Rate Irradiation Promotes Growth of Silkworms
To investigate the influence of low-dose-rate irradiation on the growth of silkworms, Bombyx mori, eggs of silkworms were randomly divided into 2 groups and were grown on either low-dose-radiation-emitting sheets or control sheets. On the radiation-emitting sheets, the dose rate was measured as 66.0 (4.3) μSv/h (mean [standard deviation]) by a Geiger-Müller counter for α, β, and γ rays and 3.8 ...
متن کاملReduction of background mutations by low-dose X irradiation of Drosophila spermatocytes at a low dose rate.
A sex-linked recessive lethal mutation assay was performed in Drosophila melanogaster using immature spermatocytes and spermatogonia irradiated with X rays at a high or low dose rate. The mutation frequency in the sperm irradiated with a low dose at a low dose rate was significantly lower than that in the sham-irradiated group, whereas irradiation with a high dose resulted in a significant incr...
متن کاملLow dose clozapine controls adult-onset psychosis associated with the neurogenic ataxia-retinitis pigmentosa (NARP) mutation
Little is known regarding the management of psychotic disorders in NARP syndrome. We report the case of a 30 year-old Caucasian male, born from healthy unrelated parents. During his first year, he presented cerebellar ataxia with pyramidal syndrome. Sequencing his leukocyte and urinary mtDNA detected a heteroplasmicmutation (95%) in the MTATP6 gene (m.8993TNC) [1]. At 28 years, he presented a p...
متن کاملLow dose hypersensitivity after high-LET irradiation
An unexpected hypersensitivity has been reported for several cell lines at low doses (<1Gy), which is not consistent with the linear-quadratic approach currently used in general for the description of survival curves [1,2,3,4]. The corresponding substructure of the survival curves has been attributed to induced radioresistance. There are indications, that high-LET irradiation with neutron or pi...
