چکیده
background: alpha particle irradiation from radon progeny is one of the major natural sources of effective dose in the public population. oncogenic transformation is a biological effectiveness of radon progeny alpha particle hits. the biological effects which has caused by exposure to radon, were the main result of a complex series of physical, chemical, biological and physiological interactions. the cellular and molecular mechanisms for radon-induced carcinogenesis have not been clear yet. methods: various biological models, including cultured cells and animals, have been found useful for studying the carcinogenesis effects of radon progeny alpha particles. in this paper, sugars cape cellular automata have been presented for computational study of complex biological effect of radon progeny alpha particles in lung bronchial airways. the model has included mechanism of dna damage, which has been induced alpha particles hits, and then formation of transformation in the lung cells. biomarkers were an objective measure or evaluation of normal or abnormal biological processes. in the model, the metabolism rate of infected cell has been induced alpha particles traversals, as a biomarker, has been followed to reach oncogenic transformation. results: the model results have successfully validated in comparison with “in vitro oncogenic transformation data” for c3h 10t1/2 cells. this model has provided an opportunity to study the cellular and molecular changes, at the various stages in radiation carcinogenesis, involving human cells. conclusion: it has become well known that simulation could be used to investigate complex biomedical systems, in situations where traditional methodologies were difficult or too costly to employ.

متن کاملA new mechanism for DNA alterations induced by alpha particles such as those emitted by radon and radon progeny.
The mechanism(s) by which alpha (alpha) particles like those emitted from inhaled radon and radon progeny cause their carcinogenic effects in the lung remains unclear. Although direct nuclear traversals by alpha-particles may be involved in mediating these outcomes, increasing evidence indicates that a particles can cause alterations in DNA in the absence of direct hits to cell nuclei. Using th...
متن کاملThe biological effectiveness of radon-progeny alpha particles. III. Quality factors.
Domestic radon risk estimates are typically based either on data for uranium miners or on data derived from A-bomb survivors; comparison of domestic radon risk estimates derived from these two disparate sources represents an important test of their reliability. There is currently a significant discrepancy of about a factor of three between domestic radon risk estimates generated with these two ...
متن کاملIncidence characteristics of alpha particles on detectors irradiated in a radon þ progeny atmosphere
The angular and energetic distribution of alpha particles from the Rn chain in air incident on a detector have been determined by the Monte Carlo method. Stopping power of alpha particles in air have been taken from the ICRU49 report. The incident alpha-particle spectrum was found for various equilibrium factors. It has been shown that the spectrum between 5.5 and 7.69 MeV depends on the equili...

Biological effects of radiation are due to energy deposition arising from the alpha particles hits with cell nuclei. A simulation has been done to calculate the flux density of Radon progeny alpha particles induced from uniform inner surface source distributed in lung cylindrical airway using Monte Carlo method. Number of hits, transformation frequency and dose has been calculated using obtaine...
