Influence of Cobalt (60) radiation on the Rat Lung
نویسنده
چکیده
This study we tried to investigate the effect of Cobalt radiation in lung of Wistar rats weighing 160 to 180 gr. A total of 60 rats were divided into 4 groups with 15 rats each.T1, First group as control group did not receive any radiation, T2) was irradiated with 5 Gy, T3) was irradiated with 7.5 Gy, T4) ws irradiated with 12 Gy. These findings demonstrate dosage d.ependent changes in different parts of the lung tissue. Histopathological studies of the lung revealed radiation-induced Edema, hyperemia can be seen in all the 3 groups and goes up as the dosage increases. Also, the thickening of alveolar walls through penetration of unicellular e.g. lymphocytes and macrophages are observed in animals of groups 3 and 4.

Introduction: Radiation therapy following breast conserving surgery is one of the most common procedures performed in any radiation oncology department. A tangential parallel-opposed pair is almost always the technique of choice for this purpose. This technique is often performed based on 3D treatment planning. The aim of this study was to compare 3D treatment planning for two different energie...

Background: Oxidative stress plays an important role in the pathogenesis and progression of γ-irradiation-induced cellular damage, Lung is a radiosensitive organ and its damage is a dose-limiting factor in radiotherapy. The administration of dietary antioxidants has been suggested to protect against the succeeding tissue damage. The present study aimed to evaluate the radioprotective efficacy ...
