Accidental radiation exposure.
We report a radiation accident in whlch a technologist was in close proximlty for 40 seconds to a source containing 7,700 curies of cobalt 60. The average bone marrow dose was estlmated at 118 rads. Within the first 24 hours postexposure, lymphopenla developed and after two weeks, the platelet and granulocyte count began to fall and reached nadir at approximately four weeks. During the phase of...

متن کاملEstablishment of a rat model of radiation-induced lung injury
Background: Radiation-induced lung injury is a refractory side effect in lung cancer radiotherapy, the mechanism still remains unclear, hence an appropriate animal mode may become useful to investigate it. Materials and Methods: 50 female Wistar rats were randomly divided into 5 groups, average 10 rats/cage: A. control group B. 3Gy×10f C. 6Gy×5f D. 12.5Gy×1f E.15.3Gy×1f....
متن کاملAnalysis of Chromosome Aberrations in Human Lymphocytes after Accidental Exposure to Ionizing Radiation
Aim: Analysis of the results of cytogenetic examination and reconstruction of irradiation doses by the frequency of chromosome aberrations in the liquidators of the consequences of the Chernobyl NPP accident. Materials and methods: Over 1500 people who worked in the zone of the accident predominantly in 1986 and in 1987 have been examined since 1986. All of them were examined by means of the cl...
متن کاملDose-modifying factor for captopril for mitigation of radiation injury to normal lung
Our goal is to develop countermeasures for pulmonary injury following unpredictable events such as radiological terrorism or nuclear accidents. We have previously demonstrated that captopril, an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, is more effective than losartan, an angiotensin type-1 receptor blocker, in mitigating radiation-pneumopathy in a relevant rodent model. In the current stu...
